EAGLE FORD OIL & GAS CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
September 30, 2014 and 2013
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Eagle Ford Oil & Gas Corp. (“Eagle
Ford”, “ECCE”, “we”, “us” or the” Company”) is an independent oil and gas
company organized in Nevada actively engaged in oil and gas development, exploration and production with properties and operational
focus in the Texas and Louisiana-Gulf Coast Region. Eagle Ford’s strategy is to grow its asset base by purchasing or investing
in oil and gas drilling projects in the Texas and Louisiana regions.
Eagle Ford continues to be a “smaller
reporting company,” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited interim financial
statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The financial information has not been audited and should not be relied upon to the same extent as audited financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and related notes contained in the Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2013.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited
interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation
of the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements include all accounts of Eagle Ford (ECCE) and its subsidiaries: Eagle Ford – East Pearsall, Sandstone
LLC and Eagle Ford Operating. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and that affect the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Eagle Ford’s unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates, including oil and gas reserve quantities which are the basis
for the calculation of depreciation, depletion and impairment of oil and gas properties; timing and costs associated with its
asset retirement obligations; estimates for the realization of goodwill; and estimates of the value of derivative financial instruments.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to
amounts in prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. All reclassifications have been applied consistently to
the periods presented.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Eagle Ford considers all highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Oil and Gas Properties, Full Cost Method
Eagle Ford uses the full cost method of accounting
for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory
wells used to find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development wells, including directly related overhead costs and related
asset retirement costs, are capitalized. Under this method, all costs, including internal costs directly related to acquisition,
exploration and development activities are capitalized as oil and gas property costs. Properties not subject to amortization consist
of exploration and development costs which are evaluated on a property-by-property basis. Amortization of these unproved property
costs begins when the properties become proved or their values become impaired. Eagle Ford assesses the realizability of unproved
properties, if any, on at least an annual basis or when there has been an indication that impairment in value may have occurred.
Impairment of unproved properties is assessed based on management’s intention with regard to future exploration and development
of individually significant properties and the ability of Eagle Ford to obtain funds to finance such exploration and development.
If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized
costs to be amortized.
Costs of proved oil and gas properties, including
future development costs, if any, are amortized using the units of production method over the estimated proved reserves.
In applying the full cost method, Eagle Ford
performs an impairment test (ceiling test) at each reporting date, whereby the carrying value of property and equipment is compared
to the “estimated present value,” of its proved reserves discounted at a 10-percent interest rate of future net revenues,
based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the cost of properties not being amortized, plus the lower of cost or
fair market value of unproved properties included in costs being amortized, less the income tax effects related to book and tax
basis differences of the properties. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged as an impairment expense. The
Company assessed the realizability of its oil and gas properties and determined that no impairment of its oil and gas properties
was necessary as of September 30, 2014.
Depletion
Depletion is provided using the unit-of-production
method based upon estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves with oil and natural gas production being converted to a common
unit of measure based upon their relative energy content. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are
not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If the results
of an assessment (ceiling test) indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is deducted from the
capitalized costs to be amortized. Once the assessment of unproved properties is complete and when major development projects
are evaluated, the costs previously excluded from amortization are transferred to the full cost pool and amortization begins.
The amortizable base includes estimated future development costs and where significant, dismantlement, restoration and abandonment
costs, net of estimated salvage value.
In arriving at rates under the unit-of-production
method, the quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves are established based on estimates made by the Company’s
geologists and engineers which require significant judgment, as does the projection of future production volumes and levels of
future costs, including future development costs. In addition, considerable judgment is necessary in determining when unproved
properties become impaired and in determining the existence of proved reserves once a well has been drilled. All of these judgments
may have significant impact on the calculation of depletion expense.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company follows the provisions of the
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 410 - Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations. The fair value
of an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can
be made. The present value of the estimated asset retirement costs is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived
asset and is subject to amortization. The Company’s asset retirement obligations relate to the abandonment of oil and gas
producing facilities. The amounts recognized are based upon numerous estimates and assumptions, including future retirement costs,
future recoverable quantities of oil and gas, future inflation rates and the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate.
The following table describes changes in our
asset retirement obligation during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013.

Revenue and Cost Recognition
Eagle Ford uses the sales method of accounting
for natural gas and oil revenues. Under this method, revenues are recognized based on the actual volumes of gas and oil sold to
purchasers. The volume sold may differ from the volumes to which Eagle Ford is entitled based on our interest in the properties.
Costs associated with production are expensed in the period incurred.
Loss per Share
Pursuant
to FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common
shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed
by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents included in the diluted computation represent shares issuable upon assumed
exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock and “if converted” method and conversion of preferred
shares. For periods in which net losses are incurred, weighted average shares outstanding is the same for basic and diluted loss
per share calculations, as the inclusion of common share equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced
amount and generally do not bear interest. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established, as necessary, based on past experience
and other factors which, in management’s judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating bad debts. Such factors include
growth and composition of accounts receivable, the relationship of the allowance for doubtful accounts to accounts receivable
and current economic conditions. The determination of the collectability of amounts due from customer accounts requires the Company
to make judgments regarding future events and trends. Allowances for doubtful accounts are determined based on assessing the Company’s
portfolio on an individual customer and on an overall basis. This process consists of a review of historical collection experience,
current aging status of the customer accounts, and the financial condition of Eagle Ford’s customers. Based on a review
of these factors, the Company establishes or adjusts the allowance for specific customers and the accounts receivable portfolio
as a whole. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, an allowance for doubtful accounts was not considered necessary as all
accounts receivable were deemed collectible.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
Eagle Ford to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable. At September 30, 2014, cash balances in interest-bearing
accounts are zero.
Sales to a single customer comprised 100%
of Eagle Ford’s total oil and gas revenues for each of the nine months ended for both September 30, 2014 and 2013. At September
30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Eagle Ford’s accounts receivable from its primary customer was $16,582 and $19,084, respectively.
Eagle Ford believes that, in the event that its primary customer is unable or unwilling to continue to purchase Eagle Ford’s
production, there are a substantial number of alternative buyers for its production at comparable prices.
Property and Equipment, other than Oil
and Gas Properties
Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Additions of new equipment and major renewals and replacements of existing equipment are capitalized. Repairs and minor replacements
are charged to operations as incurred. Cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts when assets
are sold or retired, and the resulting gains or losses are included in operations.
Depreciation of property and equipment is
provided using the straight-line method applied to the expected useful lives of the assets:

Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting
for income taxes. Under this method, it records deferred income taxes based on temporary differences between the financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and uses enacted tax rates and laws that the Company expects will be in effect when it
recovers those assets or settles those liabilities, as the case may be, to measure those taxes. The Company reviews deferred tax
assets for a valuation allowance based upon whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized.
The Company recognizes the financial statement
benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position
following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements
is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant
tax authority. As of September 30, 2014, the Company did not identify any uncertain tax positions.
The Company’s policy is to include interest
and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense (benefit) line item in the statement of operations.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company follows ASC 718 - Compensation
- Stock Compensation under which the Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award at the grant date by using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model and common shares based on the last quoted market price of the Company’s common stock
on the date of the share grant. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized over the vesting
period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. As share-based compensation expense
is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the Company reduces the expense for estimated forfeitures based on
historical forfeiture rates, if available. Previously recognized compensation costs may be adjusted to reflect the actual forfeiture
rate for the entire award at the end of the vesting period. Excess tax benefits, as defined in ASC 718, if any, are recognized
as an addition to paid-in capital.
Financial instruments
The accounting standards regarding fair value
of financial instruments and related fair value measurements define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for
disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures.
The three levels are defined as follows:
• |
Level
1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
• |
Level 2 - inputs to the valuation
methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
|
• |
Level 3 - inputs to
the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
Financial assets and liabilities are classified
in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has determined
that the warrants outstanding as of the date of these financial statements include an exercise price “reset” adjustment
that qualifies as derivative financial instruments under the provisions of ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts
in an Entity’s Own Stock. See Note 6 for discussion of the impact the derivative financial instruments had on
the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and results of operations.
Significant Level 3 inputs used to calculate
the fair value of the warrants and derivative notes include the stock price on the valuation date, expected volatility, risk-free
interest rate and management’s assumptions regarding the likelihood of a repricing of these warrants pursuant to the anti-dilution
provision. See Note 6 for further discussion.
The following table sets forth by level within
the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring
basis as of September 30, 2014. There were no transfers of financial assets between levels during the nine months ended September
30, 2014.

Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date
the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more
future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities,
and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings
that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel
evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of
relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a loss contingency indicates
that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, then the estimated
liability is accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss
contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent
liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies
considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would
be disclosed. The Company expenses legal costs associated with contingencies as incurred.
Environmental Expenditures
The Company is subject to extensive federal,
state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may
require the Company to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances
at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures
that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed.
Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital
nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such
liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the timing of cash payments for the liability or component is fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities existed or were recorded at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Eagle Ford does not expect the adoption of
any recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position
or cash flow.
3. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Eagle Ford incurred a net loss attributable to
common shareholders of $7,777,543. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, operating expenses included interest expenses
and non cash expenses related to the derivative liability. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had a working
capital deficit (current liabilities minus current assets) of $14,694,067 and $13,710,960, respectively, and held cash and cash
equivalents of $2,609 and $3,802, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going
concern.
Management is working to improve its liquidity
and its results from operations by raising additional capital and investing in the drilling of additional wells to improve future
earnings and cash flow. Management is exploring various avenues to obtain such funding to develop our properties and pay existing
debt including the issuance of new debt, issuance of securities, sales of properties and joint ventures. Management anticipates
that additional financings and loans will be required to sustain operations in the future. ECCE is also actively looking for potential
merger partners. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the required capital.
The failure to raise sufficient capital through
future debt or equity financings or otherwise may cause the Company to curtail operations, sell assets, or result in the failure
of Eagle Ford’s business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
4. OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
The following table sets forth the Company’s costs incurred
in oil and gas property acquisition, exploration and development activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. All
of the Company’s oil and gas properties are located in the United States.

EAST PEARSALL
On June 4, 2012, ECCE entered into
an agreement though a special purpose entity named EFOGC – East Pearsall, L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company. ECCE
owns 100% of the Class B Membership Interests in EFEP, while Medallion Oil Corp. (MOC) owns 100% of the Class A Membership Interest.
EFEP completed the acquisition of 85% Working Interest in 3,683 acres in Frio County, Texas from Amac Energy, L.L.C. to drill
and develop the Austin Chalk, Buda, Eagle Ford and Pearsall Shale The agreement with AMAC Energy was to purchase the 85% of the
working interest on the East Pearsall lease. As part of the sales agreement, ECCE had to drill the one well on each of the three
leases prior to 6 months of the expiration of the leases. Due to the fact that ECCE was unable to acquire drilling funds per the
agreement prior to the agreed date, ECCE was required, as stated in the agreement, to reassign the leases back to AMAC Energy.
As a result as stated in the settlement agreement, On July 8, 2014 the MOC-East Pearsall Board of Directors approved the release
of all liens to AMAC and ECCE has been released from any obligation to AMAC Energy. As of September 30, 2014, an impairment charge
of $6,464,436 was taken against this property.
MOC invested $7,000,000 into
EFOGC – East Pearsall, LLC for the sole purpose of acquiring the AMAC leases, with MOC owning 100% of A series common
stock and ECCE owning B series common stock as “designated operator”. Per the agreement with MOC, ECCE was
required to acquire a minimum of $10,500,000 drilling capital by December 2012, however, ECCE was unsuccessful. MOC granted
an extension for another six months, however ECCE was also unsuccessful in that attempt to raise funds as it was in all
future periods. A part of the original agreement required that the East Pearsall, LLC return the original capital investment
of $7,000,000 out of those funds, along with interest of 10% on that balance. As of September 30, 2014, the loan from MOC $7
million was outstanding against this property.
With the leases being reassigned to
AMAC Energy and the subsequent agreement with MOC to close East Pearsall, LLC, the entity of EFOGC – East Pearsall is currently
“winding down” and will be closed as an operating entity in the state of Texas. With this winding down, ECCE will
no longer have any liability relative to EFOGC – East Pearsall and the East Pearsall leases. We anticipate completing this
closure within a month of this report.
LIVE OAK COUNTY, TEXAS
In August 2010, ECCE purchased a farm-in
of a 1% working interest in 2,400 acres and the drilling of two wells in the Eagle Ford Shale formation located in Live Oak County
in South Texas for $250,000. The Dena Forehand #2H, the Kellam #2H and the Hammon 1H were drilled and completed and production
began during late 2010 and early 2011 and classified as proved reserves. Subsequent production has proven to be well below expectations,
and ECCE does not intend to pursue additional investments in this field. As of the date of this report, the wells in Live Oak
County continue to have minimal gas production.
In October 2014, ECCE transferred ownership
of these three wells to the convertible bond holders. The original loan agreement contained the stipulation that should the notes
be in default, then the property would be transferred to those note holders. As of the date of filing, ECCE does not have ownership
or control of these wells.
OHIO PIPELINE
In October 2008, ECCE acquired a gas
pipeline (“Pipeline”) approximately 13 miles in length located in Jefferson and Harrison Counties, Ohio. The Pipeline
was purchased from M- J Oil Company of Paris, Ohio, an unaffiliated third party, by issuing a mortgage note for $1,000,000. The
mortgage note bears an 8% annual interest rate. The mortgage is secured by the Pipeline assets. The mortgage was due on March
31, 2010, at which time, the entire unpaid balance of principal and accrued interest was to have been paid. The pipeline services
oil and gas properties owned by Samurai Corp, an affiliated company.
On February 27, 2009, ECCE entered
into an agreement to buy oil and gas producing properties in Ohio, from Samurai Corp, an affiliated company owned by Sam Skipper,
who was President of ECCE at that time. Upon further review, due to market conditions pertaining to the price of oil and gas,
both Samurai and ECCE decided that the transaction was not in the best interest of shareholders of either company. Therefore,
on April 13, 2009 the Board of Directors of both companies decided to terminate the transaction.
A review of the pipeline valuation was performed
by management. This was necessary as the asset was not an income producing asset during 2010. A comparison of replacement cost,
comparable market value and comparable earnings potential to other pipelines, showed that the expected realizable value of the
asset at December 31, 2009 was $100,000. An impairment charge of $900,000 was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2009.
Due to the failure to complete the
transfer of assets from Samurai to ECCE, the covenants of the Pipeline purchase were violated. On February 28, 2009 M-J Oil Company
Inc, of Paris Ohio, obtained a judgment against ECCO Energy for non-compliance with covenants in the original mortgage relating
to the purchase of the M-J Oil Company pipeline (“Pipeline”). We are in negotiations with the M-J Oil Company to remove
the judgment and to adjust the mortgage terms, which required full payment on March 31, 2009. As of this date, we have not reached
a satisfactory agreement with the lender. M-J Oil Company has taken legal action to pursue the judgment in the State of Texas,
filing a lawsuit in the State of Texas in April, 2014. As of the filing date of this report, negotiations with MJ Oil are underway
in order to remove the judgment and settle the obligation.
BAYOU CHOCTAW
On August 5, 2011, ECCE, entered into
an agreement to purchase 1.5% Working Interest in the Bayou Choctaw Project located in Iberville Parish, Louisiana from GFX Energy,
Inc. (GFX). Prior to December 31, 2011, ECCE decided to not further participate in the Bayou Choctaw development. ECCE and GFX
decided to use the $100,000 deposited for Bayou Choctaw as a deposit on a future, undetermined endeavor relating to the exploration
of oil and gas. ECCE remains in discussion about this investment with GFX Energy, Inc., and anticipates using this balance in
a future, undetermined activity.
HARDIN COUNTY/MERIDIAN CAPITAL VENTURES
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the
Company was in the process of making an offer on some property in Hardin County, TX. Meridian Capital Ventures intended to fund
the acquisition. During the quarter, Vanguard Energy received a higher offer than ECCE was prepared to bid and the property was
sold to another company. As of September 30, 2014 the agreement to fund the acquisition has been cancelled and the amounts payable
to Meridian Capital Ventures has been voided.
Eagle
Ford Oil & Gas Operating Company
During March, 2014, ECCE began the
process of registering a new subsidiary, Eagle Ford Oil & Gas Operating Company. The new subsidiary will be responsible for
any drilling and related production activities of the company. As of the date of this report, the subsidiary has no assets or
liabilities. Further, the Company is in the process of closing this subsidiary.

June 20, 2011, the Company assumed the liability for $545,000 of Secured Convertible
Debentures as a result of the Reverse Acquisition. The Secured Convertible Debentures
matured on July 26, 2011, and earned interest at a rate of 12%, payable quarterly in
3,000 shares of common stock for each debenture. The Company is in default. There have
been no shares issued for the interest payable as of September 30, 2014, nor have the
Debentures been repaid. The interest for these debentures is accrued at the 12% rate
and is included in accrued expenses. The Debentures are secured by a 1.5% interest in
three oil and gas producing wells that are in a 2,400 acre lease in Live Oak County,
Texas. The Debentures are convertible at the holders’ option into Eagle Ford restricted
common stock at a fixed conversion rate of $0.90 per common share. The Debentures may
also be satisfied by transferring the lease to the investors. ECCE transferred the property
to these note holders during October 2014. Accrued and unpaid interest was $271,755 and
$224,705 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively related to the convertible
debentures. Interest expenses on convertible debenture for the three months ended September
30, 2014 and 2013 is $16,350 for each quarter. |
In October, 2014, ECCE transferred
ownership of these wells to the debt holders. The original agreement provided the option to transfer ownership should the notes
be in default.
| (2) | On
July 18, 2013, ECCE issued two Notes Payable of $33,000 each, for a combined total of
$66,000 to two individuals. The notes contained a $3,000 or $6,000 total original issue
discount. The notes are due on July 14, 2014, and if they were repaid within ninety days
from date of issue, then no interest would accrue. If they were paid after 90 days, then
they accrued interest at a rate of twelve percent per annum, due on that date. The notes
could be converted into common stock after 180 days, which occurred on January 14, 2014
The Conversion Price is the lesser of $0.39 per share or 60% of the lowest trade in the
25 trading days previous to the conversion. The Note accrues interest at a rate of 12%
per annum and matured on July 13, 2014. The notes were not paid or converted and
are now in default. |
The Company identified embedded
derivatives related to the Convertible Note entered into on January 13, 2014. These embedded derivatives included certain
conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record
the fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of the Convertible Promissory Note and to adjust the fair value as
of each subsequent balance sheet date. At the inception of the Convertible Note, the Company determined a fair value
of $38,762 of the embedded derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivative was determined using intrinsic value.
The initial fair value of the
embedded debt derivative of $38,762 was allocated as a debt discount and derivatives liability.
The fair value of the described
embedded derivative of $44,848 at September 30, 2014 was determined using the Black-Scholes Model with the following assumptions:
|
(1) risk free interest rate of | |
| 0.28%;
| |
|
(2) dividend yield of | |
| 0%; | |
|
(3) volatility factor of | |
| 183%;
| |
|
(4) an expected life of the conversion feature of | |
| 6 months, and | |
|
(5) estimated fair value of the company’s common stock of | |
| $0.25
per share. | |
At September 30, 2014, the Company
adjusted the recorded fair value of the derivative liability to market resulting in non-cash, non-operating loss of $39,144 and
($6,123) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
During the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2014, the Company amortized $16,490 and $38,762 of debt discount to current period operations as financing
expense.

6. DERIVATIVE
LIABILITY- WARRANTS
In connection with the Reverse
Acquisition, the Company assumed 1,000,000 warrants which were issued by Eagle Ford prior to the Reverse Acquisition in connection
with the conversion of Eagle Ford’s convertible preferred shares, which also occurred prior to the Reverse Acquisition.
The Company determined that the warrants contained provisions that protect the holders from declines in the Company’s stock
price that could result in modification of the exercise price under the warrant based on a variable that is not an input to the
fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under ASC 815 – 40. As a result, these warrants were not
indexed to the Company’s own stock. The fair value of these warrants was recognized as derivative warrant instruments and
will be measured at fair value at each reporting period. As of June 20, 2011, the Company determined that, using a lattice model,
the fair value of the warrants was $438,680, which had been reduced to $93,044 by December 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2014,
the warrants expired and determined the fair value to be $-0-. The decrease in fair value has been recognized as an unrealized
gain on the change in derivative value of $93,044 and $48,897 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013,
respectively and the decrease in fair value has been recognized as an unrealized gain on the change in derivative value of $0
and $30,036 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
On February 28, 2009 M-J Oil Company Inc,
of Paris Ohio, obtained a judgment of $1,000,000 against Eagle Ford (f/k/a ECCO Energy) for non-compliance with covenants in the
original mortgage relating to the purchase of the M-J Oil Company pipeline (“Pipeline”). Eagle Ford is in negotiations
with the M-J Oil Company to remove the judgment and to adjust the mortgage terms, which required full payment on March 31, 2009.
As of the date of this filing, the Company has not reached a satisfactory agreement with the lender, although a settlement is
being actively pursued. In April, 2014, M-J commenced legal action to move the judgment from Ohio to Texas courts.
Eagle Ford has not paid property taxes for
2007, 2008 or 2009 on the Wilson Field in Nueces County, Texas. Samurai Corp. agreed to assume the liabilities for property taxes
for 2010 when it acquired the property. The County has initiated legal proceedings to collect those taxes by placing tax liens
on the property. As of September 30, 2014, Eagle Ford owed $43,452 for these property taxes. ECCE is currently in negotiations
to settle this liability.
On March 12, 2014, one of the note holders sent a letter asking
for payment on four notes totaling $339,130. We are in discussion with this note holder about a settlement.
On March 17, 2014, a note holder sent a letter
asking for payment on a $25,000 note. ECCE is in discussions with this note holder about a settlement.
Operating Leases
The rental contract at 1110 NASA Parkway for 1,379 sq. ft.
commenced July 1, 2010 and terminated on August 31, 2014. On August 31, 2013, ECCE renewed the lease for the next year at a rate
of $2,011 per month. On August 1, 2014 the lease expired. ECCE is currently negotiating the renewal and is on a month to month
basis at the date of filing.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In order to improve the Balance Sheet and
make the company more appealing to new investment as well as conserving cash flow, on October 1, 2014 the Board of
Directors initiated a thorough review of all debt and service contracts in order to control future expenses and to reduce
those current obligations for payables, interest and other debt instruments. ECCE will be reviewing all such items and will
attempt to settle them at a reduced amount. The Chairman of the Board, Thomas Lipar agreed to advance ECCE an as
yet undetermined amount in order to satisfy immediate financial needs of the company. He also agreed to fund an undetermined
amount to settle such AP and Notes Payable settlements. The funds to settle the open payable and notes payable will be
determined on a case by case basis, and will be decide within 60 days of the filing. The Board reserves the right to end this
endeavor at any time.
EAST
PEARSALL
On June
4, 2012, ECCE entered into an agreement though a special purpose entity named EFOGC – East Pearsall, L.L.C., a Texas limited
liability company. ECCE owns 100% of the Class B Membership Interests in EFEP, while Medallion Oil Corp. (MOC) owns 100% of the
Class A Membership Interest. EFEP completed the acquisition of 85% Working Interest in 3,683 acres in Frio County, Texas from
Amac Energy, L.L.C. to drill and develop the Austin Chalk, Buda, Eagle Ford and Pearsall Shale The agreement with AMAC Energy
was to purchase the 85% of the working interest on the East Pearsall lease. As part of the sales agreement, ECCE had to drill
the one well on each of the three leases prior to 6 months of the expiration of the leases. Due to the fact that ECCE was unable
to acquire drilling funds per the agreement prior to the agreed date, ECCE was required, as stated in the agreement, to reassign
the leases back to AMAC Energy. As a result as stated in the settlement agreement, On July 8, 2014 the MOC-East Pearsall Board
of Directors approved the release of all liens to AMAC and ECCE has been released from any obligation to AMAC Energy. As of September
30, 2013, an impairment charge of $6,464,436 was taken against this property.
MOC invested
$7,000,000 into EFOGC – East Pearsall, LLC for the sole purpose of acquiring the AMAC leases, with MOC owning 100% of A
series common stock and ECCE owning B series common stock as “designated operator”. Per the agreement with MOC, ECCE
was required to acquire a minimum of $10,500,000 drilling capital by December 2012, however, ECCE was unsuccessful. MOC granted
an extension for another six months, however ECCE was also unsuccessful in that attempt to raise funds as it was in all future
periods. A part of the original agreement required that the East Pearsall, LLC return the original capital investment of $7,000,000
out of those funds, along with interest of 10% on that balance.
With
the leases being reassigned to AMAC Energy and the subsequent agreement with MOC to close East Pearsall, LLC, the entity of EFOGC
– East Pearsall is currently “winding down” and will be closed as an operating entity in the state of Texas.
With this winding down, ECCE will no longer have any liability relative to EFOGC – East Pearsall and the East Pearsall leases.
We anticipate completing this closure within a month of this report.

2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The
statements included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Act
of 1934, as amended. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” and similar
expressions. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the statements herein and therein regarding the timing
of future events regarding the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. Although the Company believes that the expectations
reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have
been correct. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements
as a result of many factors including without limitation the following risk factors:
- |
the
cyclical nature of the natural gas and oil industries to meet our obligations, finance operating deficits and fund acquisitions,
exploration and development and continue as a going concern |
- |
our
ability to obtain additional financing |
- |
our
ability to successfully and profitably find, produce and market oil and natural gas |
- |
uncertainties
associated with the United States and worldwide economies |
- |
substantial
competition from larger companies |
- |
the
loss of key personnel |
- |
operating
interruptions (including weather, leaks, explosions and lack of rig availability)
|
- |
the cyclical nature of the natural gas
and oil industries |
BUSINESS
OPERATIONS
We
(“Eagle Ford” or the “Company”) are an independent oil and gas company actively engaged in oil and gas
development, exploration and production with properties and operational focus in the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast Region. Our strategy
is to grow our asset base by investing in oil and gas drilling and production in various locations in that region. Our shares
of common stock are traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, with the symbol ECCE.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Business
Acquisitions
On
June 20, 2011, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement, Eagle Ford acquired all of the membership interests of Sandstone Energy, L.L.C.
(“Sandstone”) in exchange for 17,857,113 shares of common stock of Eagle Ford (the “Reverse Acquisition”).
Following the Reverse Acquisition, the shares issued to the former owners of Sandstone constituted 82% of the Company’s
common stock. Sandstone Energy, L.L.C.’s principal assets at the date of the Acquisition were 50% membership interests in
each of Sandstone Energy Partners I, L.L.C. (“SSEP1”), Sandstone Energy Partners II, L.L.C. (“SSEP2”)
and Sandstone Energy Partners III, L.L.C. (“SSEP3”). On August 8 and August 11, 2011, Eagle Ford acquired the remaining
50% interests in each of SSEP1, SSEP2 and SSEP3 with an accumulated deficit of $1,443,302 in exchange for 8,970,120 shares of
Eagle Ford common stock. Eagle Ford now owns 100% of the interests in these ventures. Subsequent to the merger, SSEP1, SSEP2 and
SSEP3 were closed.
The
Reverse Acquisition was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” in which Sandstone is deemed to be the accounting
acquirer (“Acquirer”) and Eagle Ford is deemed to be the accounting acquiree (“Acquiree”). Consequently,
the assets and liabilities and the historical operations reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements prior
to the Reverse Acquisition are those of Sandstone and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Sandstone. The consolidated
financial statements after completion of the Reverse Acquisition include the assets and liabilities of Sandstone and the Acquiree
and the historical operations of Sandstone and the Acquiree and its subsidiaries from the closing date of the Reverse Acquisition.
In accordance with ASC 805, the assets and liabilities of the Acquiree at the date of the acquisition have been recorded at fair
value.
Oil &
Gas Properties
Prior
to the Reverse Acquisition, in August 2010, Eagle Ford purchased a farm-in of a 1% working interest in 2,400 acres and the drilling
of three wells in the Eagle Ford Shale formation located in Live Oak County in South Texas for $250,000 plus potential additional
expenses related to the drilling. The wells were drilled and completed and production began during November and December 2010
and classified as proved reserves. As of September 30, 2014 the wells in Live Oak County continue to have minimal oil and gas
production. We do not anticipate any further drilling in this field, but may owe some currently undetermined amounts for past
and future maintenance and repairs. In October 2014, the ownership of these wells were transferred to the note holders in lieu
of debt payment.
On
August 5, 2011, ECCE, entered into an agreement to purchase 1.5% Working Interest in the Bayou Choctaw Project located in Iberville
Parish, Louisiana from GFX Energy, Inc. (GFX). Prior to December 31, 2011, ECCE decided to not further participate in the Bayou
Choctaw development. ECCE and GFX decided to use the $100,000 deposited for Bayou Choctaw as a deposit on a future, undetermined
endeavor relating to the exploration of oil and gas. Negotiations are underway as how to proceed with this deposit.
On
June 4, 2012, ECCE entered into an agreement though a special purpose entity named EFOGC – East Pearsall, L.L.C. (“EFEP”),
a Texas limited liability company. ECCE owns 100% of the Class B Membership Interests in EFEP. EFEP completed the acquisition
of 85% Working Interest in 3,683 acres in Frio County, Texas from Amac Energy, L.L.C. to develop the Austin Chalk, Buda, Eagle
Ford and Pearsall Shale reservoirs. ECCE is attempting to raise funds in order to develop this field. The total investment to
date in this field totals $6,484,307. At the date of this filing, ECCE has returned the leased property to AMAC and is negotiating
the closing of the East Pearsall subsidiary with MOC.
The
Company also plans to acquire additional leases and other oil and gas properties or interests in the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast
region and in the Eagle Ford producing zones in Texas. ECCE is also attempting to explore the possibility of a merger with other
Energy firms.
Personnel
ECCE
agreed to set up a compensation for Michael Munsey for his services as a technical advisor in examining and selecting potential
and existing oil and gas properties. The Board of Directors agreed to grant 425,000 shares of restricted stock to Michael Munsey,
which is to be issued in four equal amounts at the end of every nine months. The first installment of 106,250 shares was issued
on August 15, 2014. Mr. Munsey also agreed to accept the position of Vice-President of Operations and Exploration.
RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
We
have incurred recurring losses to date. Over the next twelve months, our strategy is to grow our asset base by investing in oil
and gas drilling and production in the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast region. Although we do not currently operate any of our wells,
we desire to acquire operated as well as non-operated properties that meet or exceed our rate of return criteria. For acquisitions
of properties with additional development, exploitation and exploration potential, our focus has been on acquiring operated properties
so that we can better control the timing and implementation of capital spending. We will sell properties when management is of
the opinion that the sale price realized will provide an above average rate of return for the property or when the property no
longer matches the profile of properties we desire to own.
The
execution of our growth strategy is dependent on a number of factors including oil and gas prices, the availability of oil and
gas properties that meet our economic criteria and the availability of funds on terms that are acceptable to us, if at all. There
is no assurance that these factors will occur. We will require substantial additional capital to meet our current obligations
and long term operating requirements and acquisition objectives.
Nine months
Ended September 30, 2014 Compared to Nine months Ended September 30, 2013
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Eagle Ford recognized revenue of $2,874, a decrease of $937 compared to revenue of $3,811
during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily
due to the net decreased production from the Live Oak County Wells, despite an increase in price received per mcf. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2014, we sold no barrels of oil and 800 Mcf of natural gas at an average price of $4.02 per Mcf.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold no oil and approximately 1,186 mcf of natural gas at an average price
of $3.99 per Mcf.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred operating expenses of $7,110,197, an increase of $6,311,242 compared to
$798,555 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was due to lower the impairment of the East Pearsall property
which was partially offset by lower administrative costs.
Other
expenses decreased by $24,029 in total, to $670,220 from $694,249 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The decrease in other expenses is due to a gain on change in derivative value and on the warrant derivative expiration. Interest
expense increased by $41,451 to $$784.597 on September 30, 2014, up from $743,146 on September 30, 2013.
Our
net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $7,777,543, an increased loss of $6,288,150 compared to a net loss of
$1,489,393 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, due to the reasons noted above, primarily due to the impairment charge
on the East Pearsall property.
Three months
Ended September 30, 2014 Compared to Three months Ended September 30, 2013
For
the three months ended September 30, 2014, Eagle Ford recognized revenue of $1,158, an increase of $269 compared to revenue of
$889 during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2014
is primarily due to the minor increased production from the Live Oak County Wells along with an increase in the price received
per mcf. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we sold no barrels of oil and 302 Mcf of natural gas at an average
price of $3.64 per Mcf. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we sold no oil and approximately 401 mcf of natural
gas at an average price of $3.24 per Mcf.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2014, we incurred operating expenses of $6,672,695, an increase of $6,459,626 compared to
$213,069 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Administrative costs decreased by $23,263 due to lower legal and technical
items. The impairment charge of $6,484,343 was the primary reason for the increase in operating expenses.
Other
expenses increased by $1,835 in total, to $224,227 from $223,392 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The decrease in other expenses is due to a change in derivative value calculation which were offset by a $38,449 increase in interest
expense due to additional loans.
Our
net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $6,895,764, an increase of $6,461,192 compared to a net loss of $434,572
for the three months ended September 30, 2013, due to the reasons noted above, primarily due to the impairment charge on the East
Pearsall field, which were slightly offset by a decrease in administrative costs and the change in derivative valuations..
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Nine Month
Period Ended September 30, 2014
At
September 30, 2014, our current assets were $84,912 and our current liabilities were $14,778,979, which resulted in a working
capital deficiency of $14,694,067. At September 30, 2014, our total liabilities were $14,803,781 consisting of: (i) $1,192,294
in accounts payable - trade; (ii) $2,963,592 in accrued expenses; (iii) $243,381 in accrued interest – related party; (iv)
$8,742,709 in notes payable to third parties, short term; (v) $981,155 in short-term debt – related parties; (vi) $611,000
in convertible debt; (vii) $44,848 in derivative liabilities for notes; and (ix) $24,802 in asset retirement obligations.
Stockholders’
deficit increased from $7,102,987 at December 31, 2013 to a deficit of $14,579,280 as of September 30, 2014. This deficit was
increased by the loss from operations for the first nine months of 2014.
Cash Flows
Cash Flows
from Operating Activities
Cash
used in operations equaled $344,977 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to net cash used in operations of
$487,364 during the prior year period, which was a decrease in cash used in operations of $142,387, primarily due to lower cash
paid out for administrative expenses.
Cash Flows
from Investing Activities
The
Company used net cash for investing activities of $19,871 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to net cash
used in investing activities of $0 during the prior year period. The $19,871 represented the cost of a site survey on the East
Pearsall property.
Cash Flows
from Financing Activities
The
Company received cash from financing activities of $363,655 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to net cash
received from financing activities of $229,000 during the prior year period, which was an increase from financing activities of
$134,655.
Our Existence
and Success Depend upon Future Financings/Going Concern Issues
The
independent auditor’s report on our December 31, 2013 financial statements states that our recurring losses raise substantial
doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
At
September 30, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of $14,694,067. We will need to raise additional capital during 2014 to fund
general corporate working capital needs, which includes principal and accrued interest on current and past due notes payable and
convertible bonds totaling $13,350,338. We will also need to raise funds to purchase additional property.
We
anticipate that additional financings and loans will be required to sustain operations in the future. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be successful in raising the required capital. Management is exploring various avenues to obtain such funding
to develop our properties and pay existing debt including the issuance of new debt, issuance of securities, sales of properties
and joint ventures. The Company also intends to continue to negotiate with holders of its current debt to convert such debt into
equity or otherwise restructure such debt.
As
we have no debt or equity funding commitments, we will need to rely upon best efforts financings. The Company is conducting ongoing
discussions with potential lenders, investors and merger partners and acquisition candidates. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in raising the required capital in the private placement or from any other source.
The
failure to raise sufficient capital through future debt or equity financings or otherwise may cause the Company to curtail operations,
sell assets, or result in the failure of our business. We anticipate that our working capital requirements will continue to be
funded through a combination of our future revenues, existing funds, loans and further issuances of securities. Our working capital
requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business. We anticipate that additional financings and loans
will be required to sustain operations in the future. In addition, we anticipate that for the foreseeable future such financings
are likely to rely heavily on the issuance of equity. There can be no assurances that such equity issuances will be at dilution
levels that will be highly dilutive to existing holders or our common stock or other stakeholders.
On
August 4, 2014, the Board of Directors instructed ECCE Management to undertake a program to offer to settle open notes payable
and other payables at a discounted rate. The Chairman of the Board agreed to fund such discounted obligations in 60 days, upon
the successful renegotiation of a significant and material amount of such debt.
There
can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the required capital. The failure to raise sufficient capital through
future debt or equity financings or otherwise will cause the Company to curtail operations, sell assets, or result in the failure
of our business. ECCE will also attempt to seek merger partners for any possible future endeavors.
PURCHASE
OF SIGNIFICANT EQUIPMENT
We
do not intend to purchase any significant equipment during the next twelve months, outside of any items related to the drilling
or completion of any future acquisitions.
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As
of September 30, 2014, we do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current
or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors
Critical
accounting policies
The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition
and accounts receivable allowances. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments
and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial
statements for 2013 appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Recent
accounting pronouncements
The recent accounting standards
that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date
are not expected to have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
PART II—OTHER
INFORMATION
Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
