RECENT 10Q <========OverviewPolar Petroleum Corp. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 22, 2011 as Post Data, Inc. We were previously a development stage company formed for purposes of decommissioning electronic data storage devices for permanent inoperability and unrecoverability of electronic data contained therein. On July 30, 2012, our management changed and we entered into the oil and gas business to engage in the exploration, development and production of oil and gas properties primarily in the State of Alaska.On August 22, 2012, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Polar Petroleum (AK) Corp. (the โSubsidiaryโ), in the State of Alaska for purposes of operating our oil and gas business in the State of Alaska. On October 30, 2012, our wholly-owned subsidiary, the Subsidiary entered into a purchase agreement (the โHemi/Franklin Purchase Agreementโ) with Daniel K. Donkel and Samuel H. Cade (together, the โSellersโ) pursuant to which the Subsidiary acquired 100% of the record title of the Sellers to 17 onshore oil and gas leases located in in the North Slope region of the State of Alaska, which include both the Hemi Springs Project and the Franklin Bluffs Project, while reserving a royalty of 16.67% for the State of Alaska and an overriding royalty of 4% for the Sellers, in exchange for a total purchase price of $1,250,000, with $150,000 of the purchase price paid in cash at closing and the remaining $1,100,000 payable under a promissory note from the Subsidiary to the Sellers (the โHemi/Franklin Promissory Noteโ). The Hemi/Franklin Promissory Note was due on October 31, 2014, and bears interest at 0.3% per annum (10% after a default). We were obligated to pay $125,000.00 (plus accrued interest) every three months for the first twelve months, $100,000 (plus accrued interest) every three months for the 13th through 21st months, and $300,000 (plus accrued interest) by the maturity date. The more detailed description of the Hemi/Franklin Purchase Agreement and related transactions set forth under the caption โBusinessโFirst Purchase of Oil & Gas Leasesโ in the 2013 Form 10-K is incorporated herein by reference.An installment payment under the Hemi/Franklin Promissory Note of $125,000.00 (plus accrued interest) was due on July 31, 2013, and a second installment payment of $125,000.00 (plus accrued interest) is due on October 31, 2013. We requested that the Sellers grant us an extension on these payments. 12 On October 16, 2013, the Subsidiary entered into an amendment to the Hemi/Franklin Purchase Agreement with the Sellers, under which the Subsidiary will pay a $12,500 non-refundable extension fee, and Sellers will extend, until December 2, 2013, the payment of the installment amounts otherwise due on July 31 and October 31, 2013. On December 2, 2013, the Subsidiary will be obligated to pay the entire outstanding principal balance due under the Hemi/Franklin Promissory Note, together with all accrued interest thereon, in the total sum of $865,229.On May 31, 2013, the Subsidiary entered into a purchase agreement (the โNorth Point Thomson Purchase Agreementโ) with the same Sellers to acquire a 100% working interest in twelve offshore oil and gas leases in the property known as the North Point Thomson Property for an aggregate purchase price of $1,100,000, with $100,000 payable at closing and $1,000,000 evidenced by a promissory note from the Subsidiary to the Sellers (the โNorth Point Thomson Promissory Noteโ). Seven of the leases are subject to a 12.5% royalty retained by the State of Alaska and the rest are subject to a royalty of 16.67% retained by the State of Alaska, and all of them carry an overriding royalty of 4% for the Sellers. The North Point Thomson Promissory Note was due on June 14, 2015, and bears interest at 0.3% per annum (12% after a default). We were obligated to pay $125,000 (plus accrued interest) every three months during the term and on the maturity date.

What at svu still there shorting at what 7.00 but before that it was 2.40 and shorts were 46% of the float
Whoa puppy. In looking at its chart SVU is a NYSE stock that was chugging along at 7, wiggled down to 5, and then suddenly crashed to below 2.50 on bad news - store closings? Whatever. So you are trying to compare a NYSE stock where if one had wanted to Short it at 5 for 1K shares, your broker would ask for you to be able to cover a margin of $5K, to Shorting POLR below the 2.50 minimum, requiring a margin of $2.5M to Short 1K shares?
Your svu example was a stock which by the numbers you tracked probably did have a large Short volume - bad news attracts Shorts. But is that the case for these penny stocks? You point to the Short interest reported for POLR. Where that Short interest could increase tomorrow. But how can it, when it's illegal to Short a non-marginable stock such as POLR? No broker or intervening MM helping to facilitate a trade is going to directly risk their business by allowing you the retail investor to illegally Short POLR. So why is it Short activity reported for these previously suspended non-marginable penny stocks changes?
Courtesy of poster BigBake1, who has worked in the financial sector, and understands the mechanics:
The scoop
I have 50,000 shares of CCTC for sale on the best ask, you want 25,000 of those shares. So you place an order with your broker, electronically your brokerage checks internally for shares for sale, but nothing matches the size or price. It is uplined to an ECN where it sits in que. Each broker has an MM quoting for them, your brokers MM sees the order in que and knows I have 50,000 shares for sale at that price.
Electronically it executes an immediate trade to your broker for 25,000 shares sold to your account. In accordance with SEC Rule 200 that trade must be โMARKEDโ short although it is in fact a long position trade, this is reported to the Daily Reg Sho. At the very same time on a different leg of the same transaction the MM then buys 25,000 shares from my best Ask to cover that open position, this gets reported as a NON TAPE TRANSACTION. This prevents doubling the reported volume of the actual trade that occured. Both consolidated tape and Non Tape Transactions are sent to FINRA and are balanced and reconciled for accuracy.
Even though a MM is no longer maintaining an electronic spread for POLR, they are still involved in helping the brokers hook up for grey trades. No ECN, but Rule 200 still holds. That is how you get Short interest going up and down in previously suspended stocks, where it's illegal for your broker to allow you to Short them. It's the mechanics of the trade. Nothing to do with actual Short interest, as might occur in SVU.

Annual ReportITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.Our Business OverviewPolar Petroleum ("Polar") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 22, 2011 as Post Data, Inc. We were previously a development stage company formed for purposes of decommissioning electronic data storage devices for permanent inoperability and unrecoverability of electronic data contained therein. On July 30, 2012, our management changed and we entered into the oil and gas business to engage in the exploration, development and production of oil and gas properties primarily in the State of Alaska. The Company has selected March 31 as it fiscal year end.Results of Operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012RevenuesThe Company has not generated any revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.Operating ExpensesThe Company expenses for fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $374,807 and $52,421, respectively. Operating expenses increased in 2013 due to directors' salaries, consulting expenses, and increased operational activities with the purchase of the Alaska Oil and Gas Property Leases as well as the issuance of stock for services. We anticipate incurring further increased expenses once we begin exploration activities and will require additional funding to support our working capital needs.Net loss for the year ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $375,442 and $52,437, respectively.Financial ConditionTotal assets. Total assets at March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $1,352,393 and $0, respectively. Total assets consist of cash, prepaid expenses and deposits, equipment, website, and oil and gas properties.Total liabilities. Total liabilities at March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $1,064,822 and $3,487, respectively. Total liabilities at March 31, 2013 consist of account payables and accrued expenses of $28,895, shareholder loans of $60,927, current portion of note payable of $475,000 and long term portion of note payable of $500,000 due under the Oil and Gas Lease Purchase Agreement.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesThe accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.The Company has a net loss from operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. Because of the absence of positive cash flows from operations, the Company will require additional funding for continuing the development and marketing of products. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.We are not presently able to meet our obligations as they come due. At March 31, 2013 we had working capital deficit of $552,318 or the amount by which our current liabilities exceed our current assets. Our working capital deficit was due to the results of purchases of oil and gas properties.Net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 was $191,004. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended March 31, 2013 was $365,555. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2013 was $550,552, generated primarily from proceeds of sales of our common stock.
