NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2013

 

1.  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization and business

 

Texas Resources Energy, Inc. (“TREI”) was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on December 9, 2010, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Russian Resources Energy, Inc., a Texas corporation (“RREI”), and then spun off to the shareholders of RRIE on the same date. On June 30, 2011, TREI changed its name to West Texas Resources, Inc. (the “Company”). The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties in North America.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, for the respective periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the year as a whole. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended September 30, 2012.

 

Liquidity and management’s plans

 

The Company’s ability to generate revenue primarily depends on its success in investigation and exploration of oil and gas properties.  The Company incurred a net loss of $131,746 during the nine months ended June 30, 2013 and a net loss of $380,163 from inception to June 30, 2013. Also, the Company had a cash balance of $75,376, a working capital deficit of $577,561 and a stockholders’ equity of $144,089 at June 30, 2013.

 

The Company will require up to $1 million of additional capital in order to fund its proposed operations over the next 12 months. Management plans to continue to seek sources of financing on favorable terms; however, there are no assurances that any such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all.   Management expects to monitor and control the Company’s operating costs until cash is available through financing or operating activities.  There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these plans.  The Company anticipates that losses will continue until such time, if ever, as the Company is able to generate sufficient revenues to support its operations.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Oil and gas properties

 

The Company uses the successful efforts 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 that find proved reserves, to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed.

 

Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are amortized based on the Company's experience of successful drilling and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated residual salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.  

 

On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.  On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-35, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets . In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, long-lived assets are reviewed for events of changes in circumstances, which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company determined that the investment in its oil and gas properties was impaired due to unsuccessful fracking process. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment loss of $108,373 to write off the capitalized fracking costs.

 

Asset retirement obligations 

 

ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations , clarifies that a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. ASC 410-20 requires a liability to be recognized for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated.

1. 

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Cash, cash equivalents, and other cash flow statement supplemental information

 

The Company considers all liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.  The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions.  Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit its concentration of risk exposure.  Management believes this risk is not significant due to the financial strength of the financial institutions utilized by the Company.

 

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

 

Furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Gain or loss on retirement or sale or other disposition of these assets is included in income in the period of disposition.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company reports certain expenses differently for financial and tax reporting purposes and, accordingly, provides for the related deferred taxes.  Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes .

 

Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by the Company in its Federal and State tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. Federal and State tax authorities from 2010 to the present, generally for three years after they are filed.

 

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised.  Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method.  Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2013, all common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Stock-based payments

 

Compensation costs for all share-based awards are measured based on the grant date fair value and are recognized over the vesting period. The Company has no awards with market or performance conditions. Excess tax benefits will be recognized as an addition to additional paid-in-capital.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash and other current assets and liabilities to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.

   

The Company has also adopted ASC 820-10 which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances 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 assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 

· Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
     

As of June 30, 2013, the Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10.

   

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, to simplify the manner in which entities test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The ASU permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The implementation of the standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

General

 

We were formed under the laws of Nevada on December 9, 2010 for the purpose of oil and gas exploration and development in North America. We commenced revenue producing oil and gas operations during the three month period ended June 30, 2013.

 

In September 2011, we acquired our initial property consisting of a 31.25% working interest in an exploratory oil and gas drilling prospect covering 120 acres in Eastland County, Texas. The Eastland County prospect includes two exploratory wells, known as Rutherford #1 and C.M. Knott #1, that had been operating at a minimum level required to maintain the lease rights.   In October 2011, the operator reentered the Rutherford #1 well and conducted drilling and casing activities, which were completed in November 2011.  In January 2012, a third party conducted the fracture stimulation of the Rutherford #1. In February 2013, the operator placed a pump jack on the Rutherford #1 well, however no meaningful revenue has been derived from the well to date. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we determined that our investment in the Eastland County prospect was impaired due to an unsuccessful fracture stimulation. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment loss of $108,373 to write off the capitalized fracture stimulation costs. We do not expect that the impairment charge will trigger any future cash expenditures.

 

Effective April 1, 2013, we acquired a 7.24625% working interest (5.65158% net revenue interest) in the oil and gas leases, wells and attendant production in the Port Hudson field, Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, from Wells Fargo Energy Capital, Inc. for total consideration of $702,900. The Port Hudson field has three producing wells that have produced a total of 1.1 million bbls to date with estimated total remaining recoverable proved developed producing reserves of 294,000 bbls, and 229,000 bbls of proven developed behind pipe reserves and are currently producing approximately 290 bbls per day. The entire purchase consideration was paid in July and August 2013.

 

On August 14, 2013, we entered into a loan agreement with our majority shareholder, Gary Bryant, pursuant to which Mr. Bryant loaned us $417,762, the proceeds of which were used to partially finance our acquisition of the Port Hudson interest. The loan bears interest on the unpaid principal amount at the rate of 8% per annum. All principal and interest are payable over a four year period, commencing November 1, 2013, at the amortized rate of $10,198 per month. Our obligations under the loan are secured by our working interest in the Port Hudson field.

 

On August 16, 2013, we entered into an agreement with Enovation Resources, LLC to purchase a 10.0167% working interest (7.2120% net revenue interest) in an offshore oil and gas field, known as West Cam 225, located in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico near Cameron, Louisiana. Our purchase price for the working interest is $50,000, payable on August 28, 2013.

Results of Operations

 

We commenced revenue producing oil and gas operations during the three month period ended June 30, 2013. For the three month and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, we had $127,705 of revenue, all of which was oil and gas sales derived from our working interest in the Port Hudson field which we acquired effective as of April 1, 2013. For the three month and nine month periods ended June 30, 2013, we incurred a net loss ($17,065) and ($131,746), respectively. Our net loss for the periods ended June 30, 2013 included a non-cash impairment charge of $108,373, which is described above.

 

As more fully described below, and subject to our receipt of additional capital, our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to pursue the acquisition of additional oil and natural gas interests in North America.

 

At the present time, we have two employees, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Stephen Jones and John Kerr, respectively, neither of whom has any experience in the oil and gas exploration and development business other than as private investors. In connection with our acquisition of the Port Hudson interest, we entered into a consulting agreement with F. Scott Haire pursuant to which he agreed to assist us in completing the acquisition of the project. We are currently in negotiations with Mr. Haire for him to become our president and chief executive officer.

 

We intend to pursue an operating strategy that is based on our participation in exploration prospects as a non-operator.  Based on that strategy, our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to pursue the acquisition of oil and natural gas interests in partnership with other companies with exploration, development and production expertise.  We will also pursue alliances with partners in the areas of geological and geophysical services and prospect generation, evaluation and prospect leasing.  Pursuant to this strategy, we intend to engage and rely on third party geologists and geophysicists, among others, to review the available data concerning each potential acquisition.  In each case, we expect that the operator of the prospect will assemble the appropriate data and conduct the appropriate studies and that our consultants will conduct an independent review of the operator’s data and studies for purposes of advising us of the merits of each potential acquisition.

 

The business of oil and gas acquisition, drilling and development is capital intensive and the level of operations attainable by an oil and gas company is directly linked to and limited by the amount of available capital.  Therefore, a principal part of our plan of operations is to acquire the additional capital required to finance the acquisition of such properties and our share of the development costs.  As explained under “Financial Condition” below, we will seek additional working capital through the sale of our securities and, subject to the successful deployment of our cash on hand, we will endeavor to obtain additional capital through bank lines of credit and project financing.

 

Financial Condition

 

As of June 30, 2013, we had total assets of $924,731 and negative working capital of $(577,561). During the quarter ended on June 30, 2013, we commenced the private placement sale of our common shares at the offering price of $0.50 per share in order to fund our acquisition of the interest in the Port Hudson field. As of the date of this report, we have sold a total of 511,000 common shares for the gross proceeds of $255,500. In addition, and as described above, our principal shareholder, Gary Bryant, loaned us a total of $417,762 subsequent to June 30, 213 for purposes of financing a portion of the Port Hudson acquisition. The loan bears interest on the unpaid principal amount at the rate of 8% per annum. All principal and interest are payable over a four year period, commencing November 1, 2013, at the amortized rate of $10,198 per month. Our obligations under the loan are secured by our working interest in the Port Hudson field.

 

Our ability to achieve commercial success is dependent on our ability to obtain additional capital either through the additional sale of our equity or debt securities, bank lines of credit, project financing or cash generated from oil and gas operations. We will seek to obtain additional working capital through the sale of our securities and, subject to the successful deployment of our cash on hand, we will endeavor to obtain additional capital through bank lines of credit and project financing.  However, we have no agreements or understandings with any third parties at this time for our receipt of additional working capital and we have no history of generating cash from oil and gas operations.  We may not be able to obtain access to capital as and when needed and, if so, the terms of any available financing may not be subject to commercially reasonable terms.  

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we commenced the private placement sale of our common stock at the offering price of $0.50 per share.  As of the date of this report, we have sold 511,000 shares of common stock to 22 parties for the gross proceeds of $255,500. The issuances were exempt under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 there under.  All of the investors were accredited investors, as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.   The offering was conducted by our management.  No sales commissions or finders’ fees were paid by us or anyone else.

Dear Sirs:

 

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Agreement”) is to set forth the understanding and agreement of Wells Fargo Energy Capital, Inc. (“WFEC”) and West Texas Resources, Inc. (“WTR”) concerning the transaction described below.

 

In particular the parties have further agreed as follows:

 

1. After the execution of this Agreement and the completion of the payment schedule set out in item (2) below, WFEC will convey a 13.175% working interest and 10.2765% RI in the oil and gas leases, wells and attendant production in the Port Hudson Field, Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana (the “PHV WI”) to WTR upon receipt of a total consideration of $1,278,000. Port Hudson Ventures, LLC (“PHV”) presently owns the PHV WI. WFEC believes (but does not warrant or represent) that all of the members of PHV have granted a security interest in their respective member interests in PHV (such member interests in PHV, the “PHV Member Interests”) and have agreed to an assignment to WFEC (or its affiliate) of all of such member interests under article 9.620 of the UCC in partial satisfaction of the obligations secured thereby. Upon obtaining title to the PHV Member Interests, WFEC (or its affiliate) shall convey the PHV Member Interests to WTR effective April 1, 2013. Such conveyance of the PHV Member Interests shall be evidenced by an instrument substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. WFEC makes no representations or warranties to WTR regarding PHV, the PHV WI or the PHV Member Interests, other than WFEC believes it has a valid security interest in all of the member interests in PHV and it will in good faith attempt to have assigned to WFEC (or its affiliate) such interests pursuant to the provisions of article 9.620 of the UCC. The members of PHV have represented to WFEC that the security agreements executed by them encumber all of the member interests in PHV.

 

2. On July 3, 2013, WTR will pay WFEC the amount of $100,000 as a nonrefundable deposit towards the purchase of the PHV Member Interests and then subsequently make a second nonrefundable deposit of $178,000 on July 17, 2013. On or before August 8, 2013, WTR shall pay WFEC the balance of the purchase price for the PHV Member Interests in the amount of $1,000,000, less a credit for any monies received by WFEC on account of the PHV WI for hydrocarbon production after the April 1, 2013 effective date. In the event that WTR fails to make the payment of the balance of the purchase price for the PHV Member Interests, WFEC shall retain the PHV Member Interests and the $278,000 deposit paid by WTR.

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$417,762.00 Bartonville, Texas August 14 th , 2013

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED and WITHOUT GRACE, in the installments hereinafter provided, the undersigned (" Maker ") promises to pay to the order of GARY BRYANT (" Payee ") the sum of Four Hundred Seventeen Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty Two AND NO/100 ($417,762.00).

 

Reference is here made to that certain Loan Agreement of even date between Maker and Payee (as amended from time to time, the “ Loan Agreement ”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Loan Agreement.

 

Except as provided in the immediately following sentence, interest shall accrue under this Note at the rate of Eight Per Cent (8.0%) per annum. Should default occur in the payment of this Note and Payee demand immediate payment of this Note , the outstanding principal balance hereof shall bear interest at a rate equal to twelve percent (12.0 %) per annum, calculated on the basis of a year consisting of sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, until paid in full.

 

It is the intention of Maker and Payee to comply strictly with all applicable usury laws as in effect from time to time; and there is no intention to contract for, nor shall there ever be collected, charged or received on this Note, interest in excess of that which would accrue and be payable on the basis of the Highest Lawful Rate. For purposes of Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended, Maker agrees that the maximum rate to be charged shall be the "weekly rate ceiling" as defined in said Chapter 303; provided that Payee may also rely on alternative maximum rates of interest under other applicable laws, if greater.

 

All payments of principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America to Payee at its offices in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

If under any circumstances the aggregate amounts paid on this Note include amounts which by Law are deemed interest and which would exceed the maximum non-usurious amount of interest which could lawfully have been collected on this Note, Maker stipulates that such payment and collection will have been and will be deemed to have been the result of mathematical error on the part of both Maker and Payee or the holder of this Note, and the party receiving such excess payments shall promptly refund the amount of such excess (to the extent only of such interest payments above the maximum non-usurious amount which could lawfully have been collected and retained) upon discovery of such error by the party receiving such payment or notice thereof from the party making such payment.
