Norstra Energy Inc.

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

May 31, 2013

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1.      ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

NORSTRA ENERGY INC. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S. on November 12, 2010.  The Company is in the exploration stage as defined under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915 and it intends to engage in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties.

 

The Company has not generated any revenue to date and consequently its operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.  For the period from inception, November 12, 2010 through May 31, 2013 the Company has accumulated losses of $118,204.

 

On March 30, 2012, the Company approved a 2:1 forward split of the Company’s stock. Following this split, the Company’s authorized capital increased to 150,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share and the outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock has since increased to 38,250,000. The effect of this forward split has been retroactively applied to the common stock balances at February 29, 2012, and reflected in all common stock activity reflected in these financial statements since that time.

 

NOTE 2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.  The Company's fiscal year end is February 28.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. The Company had $323,055 and $99,550 of cash and cash equivalents at May 31, 2013 and February 28, 2013, respectively.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The  preparation  of  financial  statements  in conformity with accounting principles generally  accepted  in  the  United States requires  management  to  make   estimates and assumptions that  affect  the reported amounts of  assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at  the  date  of  the  financial  statements  and the reported amounts of  revenues  and    expenses  during  the  reporting  period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

 

F-4

 


 

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718).  To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method.  Deferred tax  assets  and  liabilities are recognized for  the  estimated future tax consequences attributable  to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing  assets  and  liabilities and their respective  tax  bases and operating loss and tax credit  carry  forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260,"Earnings per Share". ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement.

 

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. At May 31, 2013 and 2012, 6,511,837 and 0 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, were issued or outstanding.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB ASC is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company.  Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

 

Oil and Gas Properties

 

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all acquisition, exploration and development costs, including certain payroll, asset retirement costs, other internal costs, and interest incurred for the purpose of finding oil and natural gas reserves, are capitalized. Internal costs that are capitalized are directly attributable to acquisition, exploration and development activities and do not include costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Costs associated with production and general corporate activities are expensed in the period incurred. Proceeds from the sale of oil and natural gas properties are applied to reduce the capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties unless the sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves, in which case a gain or loss is recognized.

 

Capitalized costs associated with impaired properties and capitalized costs related to properties having proved reserves, plus the estimated future development costs, and asset retirement costs under ASC 410 “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations”, are amortized using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. Capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated amortization and deferred income taxes, are limited to the total of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves, discounted at ten percent, plus the cost of unevaluated properties. 

 

F-5

 


 

 

There are many factors, including global events that may influence the production, processing, marketing and price of oil and natural gas. A reduction in the valuation of oil and natural gas properties resulting from declining prices or production could adversely impact depletion rates and capitalized cost limitations. Capitalized costs associated with properties that have not been evaluated through drilling or seismic analysis, including exploration wells in progress at May 31, 2013, are excluded from the unit-of-production amortization. Exclusions are adjusted annually based on drilling results and interpretative analysis.

 

Revenue recognition:  Sales of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to the net full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized, unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. If it is determined that the relationship is significantly altered, the corresponding gain or loss will be recognized in the statements of operations.  Costs of oil and gas properties are amortized using the units of production method.

 

Ceiling test: Under the full-cost method of accounting, the net book value of oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated “ceiling.” The ceiling limitation is the estimated after-tax future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10 percent per annum and adjusted for cash flow hedges. Estimated future net cash flows exclude future cash outflows associated with settling accrued asset retirement obligations. The Company has adopted U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Release 33-8995 and the amendments to ASC 932, “Extractive Industries — Oil and Gas” (the Modernization Rules). Under the Modernization Rules, estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months, held flat for the life of the production, except where prices are defined by contractual arrangements.

 

Any excess of the net book value of proved oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, over the ceiling is charged to expense and reflected as additional depletion, depreciation and amortization expense (“DD&A”) in the accompanying statement of operations. Such limitations are tested quarterly. As of May 31, 2013 and February 28, 2013, capitalized costs did not exceed the ceiling limitation, and no write-down was indicated.

 

The Company periodically assesses for impairment and no indication of impairment existed at May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012. 

 

The amount of capitalized costs for the Reno County, Kansas lease at May 31, 2013 and February 28, 2013 is $19,064, respectively.  The amount of capitalized costs for the South Sun River Bakken Prospect at May 31, 2013 and February 28, 2013 is $200,000 and nil, respectively.

 

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, a gain or loss is recognized.

 

NOTE 3.      GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY CONSIDERATIONS              

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As at May 31, 2013, the Company had a loss from operations, for the three months ended of $75,614, an accumulated deficit of $119,704, and working capital of $340,992 and has earned no revenues since inception. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern.

 

F-6

 


 

 

The Company depends upon capital to be derived from future financing activities such as subsequent offerings of its common stock or debt financing in order to operate and grow the business. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising such capital and are not limited to, acceptance of the Company's business plan, the ability to raise capital in the future, the ability to expand its customer base, and the ability to hire key employees to provide services. There may be other risks and circumstances that management may be unable to predict.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 4.   CAPITAL STOCK

Authorized Stock

 

The Company has authorized 150,000,000 common shares and 50,000 preferred shares, both with a par value of $0.001 per share.  Each common share entitles the holder to one vote, in person or proxy, on any matter on which action of the stockholders of the corporation is sought.

 

Share Issuance

 

Preferred Shares

 

On March 12, 2013 the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock to an officer and director of the Company at a price of $0.01 as part of a consulting agreement.

 

There were 1,000,000 and nil preferred shares issued and outstanding at May 31, 2013 and February 28, 2013, respectively.

 

Common Shares

 

In March 2012, the Company increased its authorized capital from 75,000,000 common shares to 150,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.  The Company also authorized a stock split on a one (1) old for two (2) new basis retroactive to inception.

 

In February 2012, the Company issued 20,513,000 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $10,257. During the same month, the Company also issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock for debt of $5,000 and 10,000,000 shares of common stock for stock subscriptions receivable of $5,000. In August 2012 the payment was received for the subscriptions receivable. In July and August of 2012, 31,250,000 shares were issued at a price of $0.001 for cash proceeds of $31,250.  In September of 2012, 2,000,000 shares were issued at a price of $0.001 for cash proceeds of $2,000.

 

On March 12, 2013, the Company cancelled 35,513,100 common shares of a current officer and a former director of the Company.

 

There were 38,250,000 and 73,763,100 common shares issued and outstanding at May 31, 2013 and February 28, 2013, respectively.  

 

 

F-7

 


 

 

NOTE 5.      DUE TO RELATED PARTY

 

On February 23, 2012, an officer and director loaned the Company $5,000.  On February 25, 2012 the company issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock in extinguishment of the shareholder liability at $0.001 per share.

 

During the year ended February 28, 2013, an officer and director of the Company paid operating expenses on behalf of the Company amounting to $6,774. The same officer and director also loaned the Company $1,500.  The resulting shareholder payable balance of $8,274 at May 31, 2013 and February 28, 2013 respectively is unsecured, due on demand and is non-interest bearing.

 

NOTE 6.      CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

On March 12, 2013, we entered into a farmout agreement with Summit West Oil, LLC for approximately 10,000 acres of oil and gas exploration property in northwest Montana known as the South Sun River Bakken Prospect.  The Company shall have the opportunity to earn a 100% working interest and an 80% net revenue interest.  This property has since become our main focus. Under the terms of the farmout agreement, we are required to carry out the following expenditures in order to earn ownership of the property:

 

  • $60,000 by April 5, 2013 for the acquisition of seismic and other exploration data (requirement met);
  • $140,000 by April 30, 2013 for the reinterpretation of the seismic data as well as delineation and surveying of potential drill locations (requirement met);
  • Drilling of an additional horizontal well at an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000 by December 31, 2013 (no expenditures have occurred to date);
  • Drilling of a horizontal well at an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000 by June 30, 2014 (no expenditures have occurred to date); and
  • Drilling of an additional horizontal well at an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000 by December 31, 2014 (no expenditures have occurred to date).

 

NOTE 8. ENVIROMENTAL AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company’s operations and earnings may be affected by various forms of governmental action in the United States. Examples of such governmental action include, but are by no means limited to: tax increases and retroactive tax claims; royalty and revenue sharing increases; import and export controls; price controls; currency controls; allocation of supplies of crude oil and petroleum products and other goods; expropriation of property; restrictions and preferences affecting the issuance of oil and gas or mineral leases; restrictions on drilling and/or production; laws and regulations intended for the promotion of safety and the protection and/or remediation of the environment; governmental support for other forms of energy; and laws and regulations affecting the Company’s relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, stockholders and others. Because governmental actions are often motivated by political considerations and may be taken without full consideration of their consequences, and may be taken in response to actions of other governments, it is not practical to attempt to predict the likelihood of such actions, the form the actions may take or the effect such actions may have on the Company.

 

Companies in the oil and gas industry are subject to numerous federal, state, local and regulations dealing with the environment. Violation of federal or state environmental laws, regulations and permits can result in the imposition of significant civil and criminal penalties, injunctions and construction bans or delays. A discharge of hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent such event is not insured, subject the Company to substantial expense, including both the cost to comply with applicable regulations and claims by neighboring landowners and other third parties for any personal injury and property damage that might result.

  

The Company currently leases a property at which hazardous substances could have been or are being handled. In addition, many of these properties have been operated by third parties whose treatment and disposal or release of hydrocarbons or other wastes were not under the Company’s control. Under existing laws the Company could be required to remove or remediate previously disposed wastes (including wastes disposed of or released by prior owners or operators), to clean up contaminated property (including contaminated groundwater) or to perform remedial plugging operations to prevent future contamination. The Company is investigating the extent of any such liability and the availability of applicable defenses and believes costs related to these sites will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net income, financial condition or liquidity in a future period.

 

F-9

 


 

The Company’s liability for remedial obligations includes certain amounts that are based on anticipated regulatory approval for proposed remediation of former refinery waste sites. Although regulatory authorities may require more costly alternatives than the proposed processes, the cost of such potential alternative processes is not expected to be a material amount. Certain environmental expenditures are likely to be recovered by the Company from other sources, primarily environmental funds maintained by certain states. Since no assurance can be given that future recoveries from other sources will occur, the Company has not recorded a benefit for likely recoveries.

 

There is the possibility that environmental expenditures could be required at currently unidentified sites, and new or revised regulations could require additional expenditures at known sites. However, based on information currently available to the Company, the amount of future remediation costs incurred at known or currently unidentified sites is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future net income, cash flows or liquidity. The Company has recorded $5,226 and $5,059 for its estimated asset retirement obligations as of May 31, 2013 and February 28, 2013, respectively. The Company also recorded $167 and $667 of accretion expense related to its asset retirement obligations as of May 31, 2013 and February 28, 2013, respectively.

Current Business

We are engaged in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties. 

On February 1, 2011, we entered into an agreement with an unrelated third-party entity to purchase a 100% interest and an 80% net revenue interest in an oil and mineral lease in Reno County, Kansas. As consideration for the purchase, our company paid $15,000 in cash. Our company has not incurred any exploration or development costs in connection with this lease.  We have had limited operations and have been issued a "going concern" opinion by our auditor, based upon our reliance on the sale of our common stock as the sole source of funds for our future operations.

Effective February 27, 2013, we entered into a secured promissory note in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement between our company and Jackson Bennett, LLC. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 10% which is to be paid with principal in full on the maturity date of February 27, 2015. The principal amount of the note together with interest may be converted into shares of our common stock, at the option of Jackson Bennett, LLC, at a conversion price of $0.25 per share.

Additionally, on March 1, 2013, we entered into consulting agreements with Mr. Glen Landry, our president, chief executive officer, secretary, treasurer and director, and Mr. Dallas Kerkenezov, our chief financial officer. Mr. Landry will receive a consulting fee of $5,000 per month and shall be issued 1,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, which will be convertible into 10,000,000 shares of our common stock upon achievement of production from the South Sun River Bakken Prospect. Mr. Kerkenezov shall receive $500 a month for performing duties as our chief financial officer. Both agreements have a term of 12 months.

Also on March 1, 2013, Mr. Kerkenezov, our chief financial officer and Ms. Heredia, our former director, cancelled a total of 35,513,100 shares of our common stock held by them. Mr. Kerkenezov cancelled 27,013,100 and Ms. Heredia cancelled 8,500,000. These shares were cancelled in order to make our company more attractive for financing, given the capital requirements of the South Sun River Bakken Prospect.

On March 12, 2013, we entered into a farmout agreement with Summit West Oil, LLC for approximately 10,000 acres of oil and gas exploration property in northwest Montana known as the South Sun River Bakken Prospect. This property has since become our main focus. Under the terms of the farmout agreement, we are required to carry out the following expenditures in order to earn ownership of the property:

  • $60,000 by April 5, 2013 for the acquisition of seismic and other exploration data (requirement met);
  • $140,000 by April 30, 2013 for the reinterpretation of the seismic data as well as delineation and surveying of potential drill locations; (requirement met);
  • Drilling of an additional horizontal well at an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000 by December 31, 2013 (no expenditures have occurred to date);
  • Drilling of a horizontal well at an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000 by June 30, 2014 (no expenditures have occurred to date); and
  • Drilling of an additional horizontal well at an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000 by December 31, 2014 (no expenditures have occurred to date).

Once we complete the above obligations, we will hold a 100% interest in the property, subject to an underlying 20% burden to Summit West Oil, LLC and the State of Montana. 

Effective April 5, 2013, we entered into a secured promissory note in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000 pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement between our company and Jackson Bennett, LLC. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 10% which is to be paid with principal in full on the maturity date of April 5, 2015. The principal amount of the note together with interest may be converted into shares of our common stock at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $0.30 per share.

Effective April 25, 2013, we entered into a secured promissory note in an aggregate principal amount of $180,000 pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement between our company and Jackson Bennett, LLC. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 10% which is to be paid with principal in full on the maturity date of April 25, 2015. The principal amount of the note together with interest may be converted into shares of our common stock at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $0.50 per share.

Effective May 15, 2013, we entered into a secured promissory note in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement between our company and Jackson Bennett, LLC. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 10% which is to be paid with principal in full on the maturity date of May 15, 2015. The principal amount of the note together with interest may be converted into shares of our common stock at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $0.55 per share.

Effective May 29, 2013, we entered into a secured promissory note in an aggregate principal amount of $170,000 pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement between our company and Jackson Bennett, LLC. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 10% which is to be paid with principal in full on the maturity date of May 29, 2015. The principal amount of the note together with interest may be converted into shares of our common stock at the option of the holder, at a conversion price of $0.60 per share. We have had limited operations and have been issued a "going concern" opinion by our auditor, based upon our reliance on the sale of our common stock as the sole source of funds for our future operations.

On June 6, 2013, we entered into a second farmout agreement with Summit West Oil, LLC, related to additional property which is an extension of and located to the east of the first South Sun River lease block where the drillsite is located.

Under the terms of the farmout agreement, we are required to carry out the following expenditures in order to earn ownership of the property:

·          Exercise the lease renewal option by December 20, 2013 with full payment of all or some of the lease tracts;

·          Drilling of horizontal well at an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000 by June 30, 2014 2014 (no expenditures have occurred to date);

·          Drilling of a second horizontal well at an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000 by December 31, 2014 2014 (no expenditures have occurred to date);

·          Drilling of an additional horizontal well at an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000 by June 30, 2016 2014 (no expenditures have occurred to date).

Once we complete the above obligations, we will hold a 100% interest in the property, subject to an underlying 20% royalty burden to Summit West, Teton Resources, and the Milford Hutterite Colony. Our company also has the option to purchase the property for 10,000,000 shares of our common stock until December 31, 2013.  Upon exercising the option all of the above drilling obligations under the farmout agreement shall be null and void.

Results of Operations

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.  We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.

We have generated no revenues and have incurred $119,704 in expenses since inception through May 31, 2013.

Plan of Operation

We are a start-up, exploration-stage company and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion on our audited financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2013. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. There is no assurance we will ever reach this point. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources from other sources. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others. We must raise cash to implement our project and stay in business. As of May 31, 2013, our company had $ 323,055 in cash on hand.

On March 12, 2013 our company entered into a farmout agreement with Summit West Oil, LLC for approximately 10,000 acres of oil and gas exploration property in northwest Montana. Under the terms of the farmout agreement, we are required to carry out the following expenditures in order to earn ownership of the property:

8


 

·          $60,000 by April 5, 2013 for the acquisition of seismic and other exploration data (requirement met);

·          $140,000 by April 30, 2013 for the reinterpretation of the seismic data as well as delineation and surveying of potential drill locations (requirement met);

·          Drilling of an additional horizontal well at an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000 by December 31, 2013 2014 (no expenditures have occurred to date);

·          Drilling of a horizontal well at an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000 by June 30, 2014 2014 (no expenditures have occurred to date); and

·          Drilling of an additional horizontal well at an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000 by December 31, 2014 2014 (no expenditures have occurred to date).

On June 6, 2013, we entered into a farmout agreement with Summit West Oil, LLC, related to additional property which is an extension of the first South Sun River lease block and is located to the east where the drillsite is located. Under the terms of the farmout agreement, we are required to carry out the following expenditures in order to earn ownership of the tracts we elect to retain:

·          Exercise the lease renewal option by December 20, 2013 with full payment of all leases;

·          Drilling of horizontal well at an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000 by June 30, 2014 (no expenditures have occurred to date);

·          Drilling of a second horizontal well at an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000 by December 31, 2014 (no expenditures have occurred to date); and

·          Drilling of an additional horizontal well at an estimated expenditure of $5,000,000 by June 30, 2016 (no expenditures have occurred to date).

If we are unable to complete any phase of exploration because we do not have sufficient capital, we will cease operations until we raise more money. If we cannot or do not raise additional capital, we will cease retaining that acreage which was earned with drilling or assignment of stock. If we cease operations, we do not have any additional plans at this time.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.

To become profitable and competitive, we must conduct the research and exploration of our properties before we start production of any minerals we may find. We sought equity financing to provide for the capital required to implement our research and exploration phases. We believe that the funds raised from our offering will allow us to operate for one year.

We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

Purchase of Significant Equipment

We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment during the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no 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 is material to stockholders.

Going Concern

The financial statements accompanying this report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that our company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our company has not generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, the ability of our company to obtain necessary equity financing to achieve our operating objectives, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of May 31, 2013, our company has accumulated losses of $119,704 since inception. We do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above in their report on the financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2013, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

Critical Accounting Policies 

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of our company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.  Our company's fiscal year end is February 28.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. Our company had $323,055 and $99,550 of cash and cash equivalents at May 31, 2013 and February 28, 2013, respectively.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of our company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718).  To date, our company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Our company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260,"Earnings per Share". ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement.

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. At May 31, 2013 and 2012, no potentially dilutive shares were issued or outstanding.

Oil and Gas Properties

Our company uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all acquisition, exploration and development costs, including certain payroll, asset retirement costs, other internal costs, and interest incurred for the purpose of finding oil and natural gas reserves, are capitalized. Internal costs that are capitalized are directly attributable to acquisition, exploration and development activities and do not include costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Costs associated with production and general corporate activities are expensed in the period incurred. Proceeds from the sale of oil and natural gas properties are applied to reduce the capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties unless the sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves, in which case a gain or loss is recognized.

Capitalized costs associated with impaired properties and capitalized costs related to properties having proved reserves, plus the estimated future development costs, and asset retirement costs under ASC 410 “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations”, are amortized using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. Capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated amortization and deferred income taxes, are limited to the total of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves, discounted at ten percent, plus the cost of unevaluated properties.  

There are many factors, including global events that may influence the production, processing, marketing and price of oil and natural gas. A reduction in the valuation of oil and natural gas properties resulting from declining prices or production could adversely impact depletion rates and capitalized cost limitations. Capitalized costs associated with properties that have not been evaluated through drilling or seismic analysis, including exploration wells in progress at May 31, 2013, are excluded from the unit-of-production amortization. Exclusions are adjusted annually based on drilling results and interpretative analysis.

Revenue recognition:  Sales of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to the net full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized, unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. If it is determined that the relationship is significantly altered, the corresponding gain or loss will be recognized in the statements of operations.  Costs of oil and gas properties are amortized using the units of production method.

Ceiling test:  Under the full-cost method of accounting, the net book value of oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated “ceiling.” The ceiling limitation is the estimated after-tax future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10 percent per annum and adjusted for cash flow hedges. Estimated future net cash flows exclude future cash outflows associated with settling accrued asset retirement obligations. Our company has adopted U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Release 33-8995 and the amendments to ASC 932, “Extractive Industries — Oil and Gas” (the Modernization Rules). Under the Modernization Rules, estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months, held flat for the life of the production, except where prices are defined by contractual arrangements.

Any excess of the net book value of proved oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, over the ceiling is charged to expense and reflected as additional depletion, depreciation and amortization expense (“DD&A”) in the accompanying statement of operations. Such limitations are tested quarterly. As of May 31, 2013 and February 28, 2013, capitalized costs did not exceed the ceiling limitation, and no write-down was indicated.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Our company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, a gain or loss is recognized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB ASC is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to our company. Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on our company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
