Item 1: Business

  

Background of the Company

 

MMEX Resources Corporation was formed as a Nevada corporation in 2005. The current management team lead an acquisition of the Company (then named Management Energy, Inc.) through a reverse merger completed on September 23, 2010 and changed the Company’s name to MMEX Mining Corporation on February 11, 2011. As of April 12, 2016, the Company changed its name from MMEX Mining Corporation to MMEX Resources Corporation to reflect the change in its business plan to an energy focus in the Americas.

 

We are a development stage company engaged in the exploration, extraction, refining and distribution of oil, gas, petroleum products and electric power. We plan to focus on the acquisition, development and financing of oil, gas, refining and electric power projects in the Americas using the expertise of our principals to identify, finance and acquire these projects.

 

The most significant focus of our current business plan is to build crude oil distillation units and refining facilities in the Permian Basin in West Texas (hereinafter referred to as the “Projects”, or the “Distillation Unit” or the “CDU” or the “Refinery”). We intend to implement our current business plan now in several phases, First, through our subsidiary, Pecos Refining, we intend to build and commence operation of one 10,000 bpd crude oil Distillation Unit, now permitted by the TCEQ, that will produce a non-transportation grade diesel primarily for sale in the local market for drilling mud and frac fluids, along with naphtha and residual fuel oil to be sold to other refiners. In additional phases as separate projects we are contemplating building a second and possibly a third CDU with capacity of 10,000 bpd each. A later fourth phase may include the building and operation of the Large Refinery with up to 100,000 bpd capacity in West Texas. We contemplate that these projects will be built on land owned or land being negotiated for purchase by the Company.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

Background on Crude Distillation and Refining

 

Oil refining is the process of separating hydrocarbon molecules present in crude oil and converting them into marketable, finished petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, lubricants and petrochemicals. The crude distillation unit is the first phase of the refining process as shown below.

 

A crude oil refinery is a group of industrial facilities that turns crude oil and other inputs into finished petroleum products. A refinery's capacity refers to the maximum amount of crude oil designed to flow into the distillation unit of a refinery, also known as the crude unit. The diagram above presents a stylized version of the distillation process. Crude oil is made up of a mixture of hydrocarbons, and the distillation process aims to separate this crude oil into broad categories of its component hydrocarbons, or "fractions." Crude oil is first heated and then put into a distillation column, also known as a still, where different products boil off and are recovered at different temperatures. Lighter products, such as butane and other liquid petroleum gases (LPG), gasoline blending components, and naphtha, are recovered at the lowest temperatures. Mid-range products include jet fuel, kerosene, and distillates(such as home heating oil and diesel fuel). The heaviest products such as residual fuel oil are recovered at temperatures sometimes over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

 

The simplest refineries stop at this point. Although not shown in the simplified diagram above, most refineries in the United States reprocess the heavier fractions into lighter products to maximize the output of the most desirable products using more sophisticated refining equipment such as catalytic crackers, reformers, and cokers.

 

The Company CDU’s stop with the simple distillation components and will produce intermediate range products of Naphthas, Diesel and Residual Fuel Oil.

Industry Terminology

 

Crack Spreads

 

Crack spreads are a proxy for refining margins and refer to the margin that would be derived from the simultaneous purchase of crude oil and the sale of refined petroleum products, in each case at the then-prevailing price. The 2-1-1 crack spread assumes two barrels of crude oil will be converted, or “cracked,” into one barrel of gasoline and one barrel of heating oil or diesel fuel. Average 2-1-1 crack spreads vary from region to region throughout the United States, depending on the supply and demand balances of crude oils and refined products.

 

Actual refinery margins vary from benchmark crack spreads due to the actual crude oils used and products produced, transportation costs, regional differences and the timing of the purchase of the feedstock and sale of light products.

 

The Company CDU’s will have a crack spread margin that will be based most likely on the differential between the purchase of the crude oil in the area of operations based on a West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) Midland posted price and sale price at the CDU plant site prior to sale. Transportation cost is then deducted depending on the contract term, but the crack spread for the Company CDU will be the margin between the purchase price and the sales price at the CDU plant shipping point.

 

Benchmark Crude Oils

 

Crude oil pricing is generally quoted in reference to the classification of the crude oil, which is based on certain physical characteristics, the source of its production and the major trading hub with which it is associated. Relevant classifications of crude oil include:

 

·

West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”). WTI is a grade of crude oil that is described as light because of its relatively low density, and sweet because of its low sulfur content. Cushing, Oklahoma is a major trading hub for WTI and has been the delivery point for crude oil contracts, and therefore the price settlement point, on the NYMEX for over three decades. The WTI posted price also has a “WTI Midland” posting which reflects pricing of crude oil in the Permian Basin.

·

Louisiana Light Sweet (“LLS”). LLS is a major benchmark for light, sweet crude oil that is sourced from the Gulf Coast region. It has a slightly higher density and slightly lower sulfur content than WTI.

·

Brent Crude Oil (“Brent”). Brent is a major trading classification of light, sweet crude oil comprised of Brent, Forties and Oseberg and Ekofisk, which are types of crude oil blends sourced from the North Sea. The Intercontinental Exchange is a major trading hub for Brent. Petroleum suppliers in Europe, Africa and the Middle East often set prices for Brent crude oil according to its value on the Intercontinental Exchange if it is being sold in the Western Hemisphere.

 

Operating Costs

 

Major operating costs for refineries include employee labor, maintenance and energy. Employee labor and maintenance are relatively fixed costs that generally increase in proportion to inflation. By far, the predominant variable cost is energy such as natural gas, electricity and refinery fuel gas.

 

CDUs Location

 

The CDUs will be located in the Permian Basin of Texas. According to the EIA, between January 2016 and March 2017, oil production in the Permian Basin increased in all but three months, even as domestic crude oil prices fell. As production in other regions fell throughout most of 2015 and 2016, the Permian Basin provided a growing share of U.S. crude oil production.

 

With rising oil prices over the past several years, the Permian Basin continues to be attractive to drillers, as reflected in rising rig counts. According to the EIA, as of April 21, 2017, the number of rigs in the Permian Basin reached 340, or 40% of the 857 total oil- and natural gas-directed rigs operating in the United States. The Permian Basin rig count reached as high as 568 in late 2014 before falling to a low of 134 in spring 2016 and increasing to 340 in April 2017. According to Baker Hughes, the Permian Basin Rig Count as of July 13, 2018 was 476 active rigs. According to the March 22, 2019 Houston Chronicle “West Texas' booming Permian Basin, which extends into New Mexico, counts 459 rigs all by itself. The Permian makes up 56 percent of all the oil-drilling rigs in the country.”

Recent geological surveys have further explored the resources contained in the Permian Basin. In November 2016, the U.S. Geological Survey (“USGS”) estimated that technically recoverable tight oil and shale gas resources in the Midland Basin portion of Texas’ Permian Basin (specifically the Wolfcamp shale formation) could exceed 20 billion barrels of oil, 16 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and 1.6 billion barrels of hydrocarbon gas liquids. The technically recoverable resource estimate for tight oil in the Midland Basin portion of the Permian Basin is higher than any previous USGS assessment of tight oil resources in any domestic resource basin.

Oil production growth in the Permian Basin from 2009-2019 increased by 3,200,000 BPD and is projected to increase by another 2,700,000 BPD by 2024.

The production from these US shale basins, including the Permian Basin, is predominantly light, sweet crude oil, with gravity in excess of 35 degrees API. As a result, coincident with the growth in crude oil from these shale basins, U.S. imports of light crude oil began declining in 2010.

 

Outlook for Refining

 

Recent industry and financial research outline that refining industry fundamentals are more favorable than they have been in a number of years. Morgan Stanley in a recent research report states:

 

“A tectonic shift is underway on how new capital investments in refining are being thought about, as even good margins in past three years have not been able to attract major investments on concerns of competition from alternative fuels. We believe this divergence from earlier cycles primes up the refinery industry for the golden age. An overlay of new environmental norms, rising global miles driven (cars, airlines) and improving EM growth just makes margin on refining look stronger than ever.”

 

Morgan Stanley further comments “20 mega-refiners needed to fulfill demand in the time it takes to build one refinery: The global refining sector represents aboveUS$2 trillion in invested capital and ~US$150bn in planned new investments until 2027, on our estimates. It takes an average of 8-10 years to get a new refinery up and running from the drawing board (See Exhibit below). To put the time frame in context, we estimate we need about 20 new mega-refineries to fulfill the world's demand growth in that timeframe, but, based on the current pipeline, only five will be built. This lag creates cycles, and we see ourselves midway through an upcycle, due to the lack of investments in the past five years. While every cycle has its dynamics, what makes the current upcycle different is the lack of new investment committed despite the last three years of strong margins, due to concerns over the long-term shift in global energy demand from renewables and EVs.”

To compare the Company CDU project, we project a 3.5-year time from idea to production with the CDU at a cost of approximately $100 Million per CDU.

 

IMO 2020

 

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) will enforce a new 0.5% global sulphur cap on fuel content from 1 January 2020, lowering from the present 3.5% limit. The global fuel sulphur cap is part of the IMO's response to the heightening environmental concerns, contributed in part by harmful emissions from ships.

 

The impact of IMO 2020 will be enormous: industry reports suggest the new rule will require as much as 3 MMb/d of high-sulfur bunker fuel oil to be replaced by low-sulfur alternatives. According to the International Energy Agency's 2018 five-year oil market outlook, about 30% of the new demand for IMO 2020-compliant marine fuel will be met by marine gasoil, a middle distillate designed for ship engines, and another 30% will be met by new 0.5%-sulfur fuel oil blends created from existing 1%-or-less low-sulfur fuels and middle distillates such as ultra-low-sulfur diesel. The remaining 40% of the bunker market is expected to continue using existing high-sulfur fuel blends. Some vessels will use specially installed scrubbers that treat emissions to remove sulfur and other toxins from engine exhaust. A very small number of vessels will be fitted or built to use liquefied natural gas (LNG). Others will simply not comply with the new rule, at least initially, taking the risk that policing on the high seas will be difficult.

The IMO 2020 sulfur regulations are a significant consideration in the Company’s business plan, as we will be producing 28% of the input crude oil as residual fuel oil that is below the 5% sulfur standard. Residual fuel oil has become a highly sought-after product and is the primary mover behind the development of the 2 nd CDU, principally at the recommendation of our proposed Off-taker for the residual. With the first and second unit combined we are planning to deliver by rail approximately 168,000 Bbls per month of IMO 2020 compliant residual fuel oil by 200 rail cars to the Texas Gulf Coast markets identified by our proposed Off-taker.

 

Current Business Operations and Strategy

 

The Company’s business plan has evolved into several additional potential components.

 

 

¨ The addition of a 2 nd CDU at our present site and potentially a 3 rd CDU at another location

 

¨ Adding a Crude by Rail transportation and export component

 

¨ Adding a Hydrotreater as separate component to produce transportation grade diesel

 

¨ Development of a Terminal and Storage facility on the Texas Gulf Coast

 

¨ Organization of a Trading Company for exporting physical petroleum products to Latin American markets

 

¨ Associated gas and gas liquids treating

 

¨ Development of a Solar Project to power the Projects by solar energy

 

The most significant focus of our current business plan is to build crude oil distillation and refining facilities in the Permian Basin in West Texas. We intend to commence operations with a 10,000 bpd Distillation Unit that will produce a non-transportation grade diesel primarily for sale in the local market for drilling mud and frac fluids, along with naphtha and heavy fuel oil to be sold to other refiners.

 

Additional CDU Opportunities In additional phases as separate projects we are contemplating building a second and possibly a third CDU with capacity of 10,000 bpd each. A later fourth phase may include the building and operation of the Large Refinery with up to 100,000 bpd capacity in West Texas. We contemplate that these projects will be built on land owned or land being negotiated for purchase by the Company. The Company is focusing on the Distillation Unit first in an effort to build and commence operations, and ultimately generate cash flow, on an expedited basis. The permitting process is significantly shorter for construction of the Distillation Unit and the first one was received by the Company on August 30, 2017. We expect the permitting process to be similar for the additional Distillation Units. The permitting process for the Large Refinery, if pursued, is expected to be 12-18 months.

 

The Company currently estimates that construction costs for the Distillation Unit, inclusive of the potential Crude by Rail (see below), will be approximately $105 million. The second and third unit, if built, is estimated to cost in the range of $75 million each. According to a report the Company received from KP Engineering, the cost of a 50,000- bpd refinery is estimated to be approximately $500 million and the cost of a 100,000-bpd refinery is estimated to be approximately $850 million. These estimates are only preliminary estimates and are subject to substantial change when additional detailed engineering is completed.

 

These projects will be built on acreage located 20 miles northeast of Fort Stockton, Texas, near the Sulfur Junction spur of the Texas Pacifico Railroad. If successfully developed, the CDUs would connect to existing railways and pipelines to market diesel, gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas and other refined products within the U.S., with the potential to market these products and crude oil to western Mexico and South America. If completed, the Large Refinery will be one of the first full scale oil refineries built in the United States in more than 40 years.

 

Crude by Rail We are actively considering the inclusion in our Distillation Unit projects of a crude oil storage and dispatch facility (RSD). The RSD facilities will be constructed as part of the CDUs. We propose to charge a per barrel fee to receive, store and dispatch crude oil to the Texas Gulf Coast markets.

 

Hydrotreater We are also considering adding a distillate hydrotreater component to the two CDUs as a separate project. The distillate hydrotreater is a category of hydrotreaters that treats distillate streams from atmospheric distillation units to reduce their sulfur content and to improve their properties for blending into diesel. This would allow CDU’s to produce transportation grade diesel for the Permian Basin market. We have initiated a preliminary feasibility study. The separate Hydrotreater component, if built, is estimated to cost approximately $25 million

Constructing the CDUs and Hydrotreater will require a significant number of governmental permits and approvals. On August 30, 2017, we received approval from the TCEQ for the air quality permit for the 1 st Distillation Unit. We plan to file for additional permits with TCEQ as may be required. According to VFuels Oil & Gas Engineering, and Saulsbury Industries, our two EPC contractors, the construction for the 1 st Distillation Unit would take approximately 12 to 15 months from the date the Notice to Proceed is issued by the Company, which cannot be issued until the financing is completed. The 2 nd and 3 rd CDU’s will take approximately the same amount of time from the date of the Notice to Proceed, which will be dependent on receiving TCEQ permit approvals and the closing of financing. KP Engineering has estimated that the completion of the Large Refinery would take from 15 to 18 months following the receipt of the air quality permit.

 

Texas Gulf Coast Terminal and Storage Facilities Transportation and delivery of products by rail has opened up for the Company an opportunity to acquire potentially storage space in existing terminal facilities in the Texas Gulf Coast area with access to water for export of petroleum products including crude oil. We are in active negotiation with terminal owners and potential joint venture partners for the terminal site, the storage tanks and the financing. If built, the Company operated storage facilities on the Texas Gulf Coast will enhance the marketing activities of the Company.

 

Trading Company The Company is considering a potential joint venture with international partners to begin a physical trading operation of petroleum products into Mexico, Panama and potentially other Central and Latin America locations. If we are successful in implementing the trading opportunities this will add to the Company’s marketing expansion plans.

 

The cost of construction for all of these components is very significant and we intend to finance 100% of such costs through debt and equity offerings. See “Business—Proposed Organizational Structure.”

 

Marketing We plan on marketing and distributing refined products in the Texas Gulf Coast, and the Western areas of the United States and Mexico, and we may export product to Latin America. We have signed three off-take agreements with significant balance sheet purchasers. The diesel produced by the Distillation Unit will be marketed and sold locally, primarily for use in drilling mud and frac fluids, and likely transported by truck or by existing railroad systems. If the Hydrotreater is built, the diesel purchaser has indicated that it will purchase all of the transportation grade diesel produced by the 2 CDUs and the Hydrotreater. The ATBs and Naphthas produced by the CDU’s will be marketed and sold to a Super Major International Petroleum and Trading company under two separate signed agreements providing for the right to purchase all additional production. We will deliver these products by rail to the destination points the buyer designates on the Texas Gulf Coast. Our location with rail access from the Texas Pacifico Railroad with interconnections to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe RR, the Union Pacific RR, the Fort Worth and Western RR and the Kansas City Southern RR is a key component to our transportation and market access.

 

The Projects will be located on the Texas Pacifico Railroad rail route 20 miles Northeast of Fort Stockton, Texas, approximately 1.5 miles from the Sulphur Junction on the Texas Pacifico Railroad. Once needed repairs are finished to the tracks and railway, the Texas Pacifico Railroad will connect to the Ferromex RR in Ojinago, Mexico, giving us access to the western Mexico markets.

 

The Texas Department of Transportation owns the Texas Pacifico Railroad, which runs from the San Angelo Junction, near Coleman, Texas, to the Texas-Mexico border at Presidio. The Texas Pacifico Railroad entails approximately 371 miles of track and interchanges or has trackage rights with BNSF Railway the Union Pacific Railroad and Fort Worth and Western Railroad, which in turn have interchanges or trackage rights with the Kansas City Southern Railroad. The Texas Pacifico Railroad is operated by Texas Pacifico Transportation LTD, a subsidiary of Grupo Mexico. Our planned Project is located on the Texas Pacifico Railroad rail route approximately 20 miles northeast of Fort Stockton, Texas, approximately 1.5 miles from the Sulphur Junction on the Texas Pacifico Railroad. The Texas Pacifico Railroad will connect to the Ferromex Railroad at Ojinaga, Mexico.

Associated Gas and Liquids Treating Along with the crude oil production in the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford, tremendous amounts of associated natural gas and natural gas liquids are being produced and without markets, is being flared into the atmosphere allowing producers to continue the crude oil production. It is estimated that 740 million cubic feet per day are being flared, which represents $1.8 million per day cost at current prices. That produces the equivalent green-house gas from 5 million cars driving per day according to the World Bank and the Environmental Protection Agency. The output of gas is projected to increase over 30% in the next five years according to the consultancy RBN Energy. Wall Street Journal July 18, 2019 (Rebecca Elliott)

 

 

The Company wants to be able to offer crude oil producers in the Permian Basin, particularly those near our location, a way to process their liquid-rich “associated” gas produced in tandem with the crude oil and the Company has commissioned an engineering consulting firm to present what technologies exist for small-scale, modular natural gas treating close to the wellhead and what the expected capital and operating expenses. We have also asked the consultancy to develop a capital and operating expense estimate to turn the produced gas into diesel fuels via a Fischer-Tropsch facility. Should these processes be economically viable and the Company able to finance and develop them, this may be another very strong business plan addition.

 

Solar Project We have also commenced initial discussions regarding a solar power project to be located on leased acreage near the Refinery. If successfully financed and completed, we would expect to utilize a portion of the generated power for the Refinery, with the balance to be sold into the Texas grid. There is no assurance that the solar power project will be financed or constructed.

 

Financing The Company is currently negotiating the financing for the Projects. There is no assurance that the required debt and equity financing for the Projects will be obtained.

 

Management Expertise in Oil, Gas, Refining and Electric Power Project Development and Project Finance Development

 

As of 2016, the Board of Directors has decided to focus the Company’s efforts in the oil, gas, refining and electric power business in the U.S. and in Latin America. The principal reasons behind this focus is to capitalize on the experience and expertise of the MMEX management team, its directors and principal stockholders. MMEX management has over 30 years of experience in natural resource project development and project financing in North and South America and the U.K. In addition, MMEX directors and principal stockholders with oil, gas, refining and electric power experience will bring this expertise into the Company.

MMEX principals formed Maple Resources Corporation (“Maple Resources”) in 1986 to engage in the evaluation, acquisition and development of oil & gas, refining, power generation, natural gas transmission and processing energy projects in the western United States and Latin America. Maple Resources and its principals have engaged in a number of oil and gas acquisitions and dispositions and ultimately acquired assets that included 10 gas processing plants and approximately 770 miles of natural gas gathering lines and transmission infrastructure. In 1992, Maple Resources sold substantially all of its existing US-based assets and began to pursue energy projects in Latin America, particularly in Peru through its affiliate The Maple Gas Corporation del Peru Ltd (“Maple Peru”). In 1993, Maple Peru began developing the Aguaytía Project, an integrated natural gas and electric power generation and transmission project. This US$273 million project involved the first commercial development of a natural gas field in Peru, as well as the construction and operation of approximately 175 miles of hydrocarbon pipelines, a gas processing plant, a fractionation facility, a 153 MW power plant and the related 392 km of electricity transmission lines. The Aguaytía Project began commercial operation in 1998. Maple Peru also acquired a 4,000-bpd refinery in Pucallpa along with 3 producing oil fields.

 

Jack Hanks, our President and CEO, is no longer engaged in the active business operations of Maple Peru and is able to devote substantially all of his business time to his duties on behalf of the Company. Further, we do not anticipate that Maple Resources will present any conflicts of interest for the MMEX principals in carrying out their responsibilities on behalf of the Company.

 

Proposed Organizational Structure

 

The Company expects to operate the Projects through its subsidiary, Pecos Refining, and to operate the Large Refinery through another subsidiary set up for such purpose. Currently, Pecos Refining is wholly-owned by the Company and the Company serves as its sole manager. However, the construction of the Distillation Units, Hydrotreater, Terminals, Trading and other components and the Large Refinery will require substantial equity and debt financing, far beyond the expected resources of the Company, and we anticipate that the Subsidiaries will obtain equity and debt financing to finance the cost of construction. To the extent these Subsidiaries raise money through the issuance of equity securities, our ownership in the Subsidiaries will be diluted and our economic ownership of such entities may be a minority interest. As such, we will be entitled to only a portion of any future distributions made by these Subsidiaries. In addition, while intend to retain managerial control of the Subsidiaries, it is possible that equity investors will require representation on the board of managers in connection with their equity investments.

 

We anticipate these Subsidiaries will be able to finance approximately 65 to 70% of the total costs of the Distillation Units and the Large Refinery through debt financing, and the remaining 35 to 30% of the total costs would be financed through equity investments. We intend to pursue the required debt financing from banks or other large institutional investors. Traditionally, such debt financing is in the form of project financing, which among other terms will require the Subsidiary borrow to restrict its activities to the operation of the project financed by the lender, to pledge all assets of the project to the lender and to be subject to restrictive financial covenants. Such lenders further typically require engineering, marketing and feasibility studies as a condition precedent to the financing. In order to attract the significant capital necessary to build the Refinery, the Company will have to fund the cost of these reports and studies, likely out of equity raises. We have estimated that such cost will aggregate approximately $500,000.

 

Location and Logistics

 

The Refinery will be located in the Permian Basin, which holds some of the largest tapped and untapped oil and gas reserves in the world. The Permian Basis is located principally in West Texas. While production in the Permian Basin in the past had been in decline, the development of hydraulic fracturing in shale zones reversed the trend, and the cost of developing oil and gas reserves from shale formations (the driver of recent US increases in production) is lower in the Permian Basin than in other areas of the US. For this reason, the activity in the Permian Basin has recently been expanding and drawing the interest of major oil and gas companies. We believe that the Permian Basin will be the major domestic producing region in the country for decades to come.

 

The Projects will be located 20 miles northeast of Fort Stockton, Texas, near the Sulfur Junction spur of the Texas Pacifico Railroad and in the Permian Basin. The currently owned site consists of 126 acres and another 119 acres is under contract and the rail line runs through a corner of the owned property.

There are six refineries in the Permian Basin located at El Paso, Texas; McKee, Texas; Borger, Texas; Big Spring, Texas; and Artesia, New Mexico. The total capacity of these refineries is 640,500 bpd. These refineries are older refineries designed to process historic production from the Permian Basin. As such, these refineries do not take high-API production or discount it significantly, such as the production being produced from the hydraulically-fractured shale zones in which the current increase in production is occurring in the Permian Basin. Moreover, the increasing amount of shale oil production has outpaced these refineries’ ability to process the new crude oil production. For these reasons, much of the new shale production is currently being exported out of the Permian Basin. Significant infrastructure improvements have been developed and announced to move Permian Basin production to the Texas Gulf Coast. According to the EIA, these infrastructure improvements have and will decrease the discount to WTI pricing that has often plagued the sale of Permian Basin shale crude in the recent past. The Company believes that while the construction of crude oil pipelines from the Permian Basin to the significant refining infrastructure in the Texas Gulf Coast will and have decreased discounts, trucking and pipeline companies will charge fees to transport the new shale production out of the Permian Basin, resulting, in effect, in a continued discount for such production, compared to the delivered price to our Projects.

 

The Projects will be located near the major producing shale areas of the Permian Basin in Reeves and Pecos counties. The estimates of crude production and potential production from “drilled uncompleted” wells in our area far exceed the 20,000 BPD capacity of the proposed two CDU’s (see below). The crude oil purchase offers are subject to substantial conditions and there is no assurance that the purchase arrangements can be successfully implemented. But the Company believes there are a number of alternative means of delivering the ever-increasing supply of oil shale production from the Permian Basin to the Refinery site, whether by truck, construction of gathering pipelines by another company or by rail. There are 4,002 Drilled Uncompleted ("DUCs") wells in the Permian Basin according to the EIA Drilling Productivity Report, DUC Wells by Region, July 15, 2019.

Transportation

 

We will likely be transporting refined products primarily by rail. Both the U.S. Department of Transportation and its agency, the Federal Railroad Administration, have issued regulations pertaining to the shipment of crude oil and refined products. In addition, TxDOT has its own set of regulations pertaining to these matters, and Mexico will have additional regulations governing the transport of refined products and crude oil. As part of the construction of the Refinery, we will develop procedures and policies in connection with our shipping partners and buyers to comply with all relevant regulations.

 

We intend to transport the diesel production from our Distillation Unit by truck or by existing railroad systems within the Permian Basin for use in drilling fracking markets. We intend to transport other of our refined products, principally ATBs and naphtha, to other refineries, primarily in the Port Arthur, Beaumont, Houston and Corpus Christi, Texas areas, by pipeline and existing railroad systems for further processing.

 

TxDOT owns the Texas Pacifico Railroad, which runs from the San Angelo Junction, near Coleman, Texas, to the Texas-Mexico border at Presidio. The Texas Pacifico Railroad entails approximately 371 miles of track and interchanges with BNSF Railway, the Union Pacific Railroad and Fort Worth and Western Railroad, which in turn connects into the Kansas City Southern Railroad. The Texas Pacifico Railroad is operated by Texas Pacifico Transportation LTD, a subsidiary of Grupo Mexico. Our planned Projects are located on the Texas Pacifico Railroad rail route approximately 20 miles northeast of Fort Stockton, Texas, approximately 1.5 miles from the Sulphur Junction on the Texas Pacifico Railroad. The Texas Pacifico Railroad will connect to the Ferromex Railroad at Ojinaga, Mexico.

 

We plan to transport refined product on the Texas Pacifico Railroad and significant investments are required to upgrade the railroad. TxDOT owns the Texas Pacifico Railroad, which runs from the San Angelo Junction, near Coleman, Texas, to the Texas-Mexico border at Presidio. There are two significant infrastructure improvement projects that TxDOT must be complete before we will be able to use the Texas Pacifico Railroad to transport our production to Mexico as we have planned.

 

The international railroad bridge, located at the southwestern end of the rail line connecting Presidio, TX to Ojinaga, Mexico burned on two separate occasions, February 29, 2008 and March 1, 2009. TxDOT and Texas Pacifico Transportation LTD, the company that operates the Texas Pacifico Railroad, has rebuilt the bridge allowing access to Mexico and increased business potential. On August 4, 2017, Tx DOT announced a $7 million federal grant from The U.S. Department of Transportation to strengthen existing rail infrastructure in Permian Basin. As announced on August 4, the funds were used to rebuild the Presidio-Ojinaga International Rail Bridge and 72 miles of track on the South Orient Rail Line that run from the Mexico border to near Coleman, Texas owned by the state of Texas but maintained and operated by Texas Pacifico Transportation, Ltd. under a lease with TxDOT.

 

In addition, the railroad track between Alpine and Presidio may be upgraded as traffic requires through the area. The upgrade capital improvements required on the Texas Pacifico Railroad to transport significant volumes of traffic are estimated by TxDOT to be in the range of $100 million to $150 million. Our ultimate business plan to market refined products into Western Mexico and to export refined products to Latin America will depend upon the capital investment on the Texas Pacifico Railroad. There is no assurance that these capital improvements will be made. If these capital improvements are not made, our business prospects for Mexico exports on the TXPF could be materially negatively impacted. The funding by TxDOT and Texas Pacifico/Ferromex for the completion of the international bridge at Presidio/Ojinaga, which has now occurred, is a very positive sign that upgrades to the Texas Pacifico line from Fort Stockton to Presidio are to follow the freight traffic commitments to and from Mexico-otherwise it becomes a “bridge to nowhere”.

 

The Company business plan may also include marketing diesel, gasoline and other refined products in the western areas of Mexico and to transport those products along Grupo Mexico’s/Ferromex rail lines to the Mexican port of Topolobampo located on the Gulf of Mexico for export to Latin America. This business plan depends on the completion of the track upgrades and the completion of the bridge at Presidio/Ojinaga. The Company believes that the market exists in Western Mexico and in Latin America for the refined products that it plans to ship, but it has no arrangements currently in place to market and sell its products in those areas.

 

With the proposed Company terminal and storage facilities and the trading company operations, the Company will have additional rail and ship/barge access to eastern Mexico areas and to other Latin America destinations from the Texas Gulf Coast. The Company believes that the market exists in Eastern Mexico and in Latin America for the refined products that it plans to ship, but it has no arrangements currently in place to market and sell its products in those areas.

Construction of the Projects

 

The Distillation Units would cover approximately 15 acres each of the 126 acres property which is owned. The Company is under contract to purchase an additional 119 acres. One or more of the CDU’s and the rail facilities are planned for both properties. The Large Refinery, if built, would cover approximately 250 acres which is not owned currently. Before construction of any of the Projects can commence, the Company must obtain all required permits. Constructing of the Projects will require a significant number of governmental permits and approvals. The principal permit for the construction of the Projects is the air quality permit issued by TCEQ and significant construction will not begin until we have received it. On August 30, 2017, we received approval from the TCEQ for the air quality permit for the 1 st Distillation Unit. Trinity Consultants, the Company’s air quality permit advisor, estimates it will take approximately 15 to 18 months to obtain the air quality permit for the Large Refinery, once filed. The other principal permits for the Projects that will be required are the following:

 

·

US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

– Air Permits, Risk Management Plan (RMP), Fuel Additives Registration, Facility Response Plan

 

·

Middle Pecos Groundwater Conservation District

The Company has hired VFuels Oil & Gas Engineering and Saulsbury Industries (the “EPCs”) with respect to the construction of the 1 st CDU. The total indicated cost estimate including continencies and owner costs plus or minus 10% is $105 Million for the 1 st CDU. Once we close on the financing and issue the notice to proceed, the completion and start-up date guaranteed by the EPCs is 15 months. We expect the 2 nd CDU to be less in cost than the 1 st CDU and the Hydrotreater capex to be in the range of $25,000,000. The total indicated cost of the 1 st CDU, the 2 nd CDU and the Hydrotreater is in the range of $200 million.

The Company has hired KP Engineering to advise it with respect to the construction of the Refinery. KP Engineering has prepared a preliminary report regarding the estimated cost and time-line for construction of the Refinery. KP Engineering has estimated the cost of a 50,000-bpd refinery to be approximately $500 million and the cost of a 100,000 bpd refinery to be approximately $850 million. These estimates are only preliminary estimates and are subject to substantial change when additional engineering is completed. KP Engineering has estimated that the completion of the Large Refinery would take from 15 to 18 months following the receipt of the air quality permit.

 

Building a complex refinery is a costly and time-consuming process. The preliminary report from KP Engineering must be followed by other detailed engineering reports. But these reports are all essential to the financing of the construction and development of the Refinery.

 

Employees

 

As of April 30, 2019, we had no employees and our executive officer, and our two directors had not received any compensation. We contract for all professional services when needed.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

There are no legal proceedings against the Company.

 

Environmental Regulations Pertaining to Refinery Operations.

 

The operations of the Refinery will be subject to complex and frequently-changing federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of health and the environment, including laws and regulations that govern the handling and release of crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbon materials. As with the industry generally, compliance with existing and anticipated environmental laws and regulations increases our overall cost of business, including our capital costs to construct, maintain, operate, and upgrade equipment and facilities. While these laws and regulations affect our maintenance, capital expenditures and net income, we do not believe they affect our competitive position, as the operations of our competitors are similarly affected. Violations of environmental laws or regulations can result in the imposition of significant administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties and, in some instances, injunctions banning or delaying certain activities. We will adopt policies and procedures to ensure compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. However, these laws and regulations are subject to frequent change at the federal, state and local levels, and the legislative and regulatory trend has been to place increasingly stringent limitations on activities that may affect the environment.

 

Clean Air Act.

 

The environmental laws and regulations applicable to the Refinery include permitting and monitoring activities relating to air emissions under the federal Clean Air Act, and its implementing regulations, as well as comparable state and local statutes and regulations. Failure to comply with these rules can result in severe penalties and potential shut down of facilities. We will be required to develop policies and procedures to comply with all these laws and regulations.

 

Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

 

Various legislative and regulatory measures to address greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, including carbon dioxide and methane emissions, are in different phases of implementation and discussion. At the federal legislative level, both houses of Congress have considered legislation to reduce GHG emissions, including proposals to: (i) establish a cap-and-trade system, (ii) create a federal renewable or “clean” energy standard requiring electric utilities to provide a certain percentage of power from such sources, and (iii) create enhanced incentives for use of renewable energy and increased energy efficiency in energy supply and use. A number of states, both individually and on a regional basis, have adopted measures to reduce carbon dioxide and other GHG emissions, including statewide GHG inventories and regional GHG cap-and-trade initiatives. The EPA has also begun to regulate GHG emissions under the authority granted to it by the federal Clean Air Act. The EPA has adopted regulations limiting emissions of GHGs from motor vehicles, addressing the permitting of GHG emissions from stationary sources, and requiring the reporting of GHG emissions from specified large GHG emission sources, including petroleum refineries. The implementation of EPA regulations could result in increased costs to (i) operate and maintain our facilities, (ii) install new emission controls on our facilities and (iii) administer and manage any GHG emissions program. Increased costs associated with compliance with any current or future legislation or regulation of GHG emissions, if it occurs, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, climate change legislation and regulations may result in increased costs not only for our business but also for our customers, thereby potentially decreasing demand for our products and services. Decreased demand for our products and services may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Release of Hazardous Substances.

 

Environmental laws and regulations affecting our operations also relate to the release of hazardous substances or solid wastes into the soil, groundwater, and surface water, and include measures to control pollution of the environment. These laws generally regulate the generation, storage, treatment, transportation, and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. They also require corrective action, including investigation and remediation, at a facility where such waste may have been released or disposed. There are risks of accidental releases into the environment associated with our operations, such as releases of crude oil or hazardous substances from our pipelines or storage facilities. To the extent an event is not covered by our insurance policies, accidental releases could subject us to substantial liabilities arising from environmental cleanup and restoration costs, claims made by neighboring landowners and other third parties for personal injury and property damage, and fines or penalties for any related violations of environmental laws or regulations.

 

CERCLA.

 

The Refinery property and any wastes disposed therefrom may be subject to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and comparable Texas state laws. CERCLA and comparable state laws may impose liability without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct on certain classes of persons regarding the presence or release of a hazardous substance in (or into) the environment, which may include the disposal of wastes generated by the Refinery, even if the wastes are taken from the Refinery by others and disposed by them. We will develop procedures and policies to ensure compliance with these laws.

 

Our operations may potentially result in the discharge of regulated substances, including crude oil, refined products, or natural gas liquids. The federal Clean Air Act and comparable state laws impose restrictions and strict controls regarding the discharge of regulated substances into waters of the United States or state waters. We will develop policies and procedures to ensure compliance with these rules.

 

Renewable Identification Numbers.

 

In 2007, the EPA promulgated the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”), which requires refiners to blend “renewable fuels” in with their transportation fuels or purchase renewable fuel credits, known as renewable identification numbers (“RINs”), in lieu of blending. Under the Clean Air Act the EPA is required to determine and publish the applicable annual renewable fuel percentage standards for each compliance year by November 30 of the prior year. However, the EPA has repeatedly missed that deadline. The percentage standards represent the ratio of renewable fuel volume to gasoline and diesel volume. For all domestically-sold gasoline and diesel fuels we produce at the Refinery, we will be required to blend renewable fuels into our gasoline and diesel fuel or purchase RINs in lieu of blending. The Refinery intends to purchase RINs on the open market or waiver credits from the EPA to comply with the RFS. While we cannot predict the future prices of RINs or waiver credits, the price of RINs can be extremely volatile. RINs will constitute a genuinely significant cost of operations for the Refinery relative to domestically-sold gasoline and diesel, which is why we intend to export gasoline and diesel to the fullest extent possible.

 

If the Refinery’s gasoline or diesel is sold domestically, we and other similarly-situated refiners may become more reliant on the purchase of RINs and waiver credits on the open market to comply with the RFS in the future. The cost of RINs is dependent upon a variety of factors, which include the volume mandates set by EPA, the availability of RINs for purchase, the price at which RINs can be purchased, transportation fuel production levels and the mix of our petroleum products, all of which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter. In addition, numerous instances of fraudulent RINs being made available on the market have led EPA to impose penalties on RIN purchasers, even those with no knowledge of the fraudulent nature of the RINs. If we purchase invalid RINs, or fail to properly keep records in accordance with EPA’s rules and regulations, we could be subject to fines and penalties.

Safety, Security and Insurance Concerns in Operating Refineries.

 

The Refinery will be subject to the Department of Homeland Security’s Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards, which are designed to regulate the security of high-risk chemical facilities, and to the Transportation Security Administration’s Pipeline Security Guidelines and Transportation Worker Identification Credential program. We will have to have an internal program of inspection designed to monitor and enforce compliance with all of these requirements, and we will need to develop a Facility Security Plan as required under the relevant law. We will also have to have in place procedures to monitor compliance with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the security of all our facilities.

 

The Refinery will also be subject to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”) and comparable state statutes that regulate the protection of the health and safety of workers. In addition, the OSHA hazard communication standard requires that information be maintained about hazardous materials used or produced in operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local government authorities and citizens. We will also be subject to OSHA Process Safety Management regulations, which are designed to prevent or minimize the consequences of catastrophic releases of toxic, reactive, flammable or explosive chemicals. We will take measures to ensure that our operations are in substantial compliance with OSHA requirements, including general industry standards, record keeping requirements, and monitoring of occupational exposure to regulated substances.

PART II

 

Item 5: Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

Since April 10, 2018, our Class A common stock has been listed on the OTC Pink under the symbol "MMEX". The OTC Market is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current “bids” and “asks”, as well as volume information. From November 2, 2017 through April 9, 2018, our Class A common stock was listed on the OTCQB and prior to November 2, 2017, our Class A common stock was quoted on the OTC Pink tier. The following table indicates the quarterly high and low bid price for our Class A common stock for the fiscal years ending April 30, 2019 and 2018. Such inter-dealer quotations do not necessarily represent actual transactions and do not reflect retail mark-ups, mark-downs or commissions. On September 14, 2018, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to provide for a 1 for 100 reverse stock split of our Class A and Class B common shares. The Company has given retroactive effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

Penny Stock

 

Our stock is considered to be a penny stock. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

Overview

 

Business Plan

 

MMEX Resources Corporation was formed as a Nevada corporation in 2005. The current management team lead an acquisition of the Company (then named Management Energy, Inc.) through a reverse merger completed on September 23, 2010 and changed the Company’s name to MMEX Mining Corporation on February 11, 2011. As of April 12, 2016, the Company changed its name from MMEX Mining Corporation to MMEX Resources Corporation to reflect the change in its business plan to an energy focus in the Americas.

 

We are a development stage company engaged in the exploration, extraction, refining and distribution of oil, gas, petroleum products and electric power. We plan to focus on the acquisition, development and financing of oil, gas, refining and electric power projects in the Americas using the expertise of our principals to identify, finance and acquire these projects.

 

The most significant focus of our current business plan is to build crude oil distillation and refining facilities in the Permian Basin in West Texas. We intend to implement our current business plan now in several phases, First, through our subsidiary, Pecos Refining, we intend to build and commence operation of one 10,000 bpd crude oil Distillation Unit, now permitted by the TCEQ, that will produce a non-transportation grade diesel primarily for sale in the local market for drilling mud and frac fluids, along with naphtha and residual fuel oil to be sold to other refiners. In additional phases as separate projects we are contemplating building a second and possibly a third CDU with capacity of 10,000 bpd each. A later fourth phase may include the building and operation of the Large Refinery with up to 100,000 bpd capacity in West Texas. We contemplate that these projects will be built on land owned or land being negotiated for purchase by the Company.

 

Initially, Pecos Refining, the owner of the 1 st Distillation Unit, and the other entities we may form to own and operate the 2 nd and 3 rd Distillation Units, the Hydrotreater and the Large Refinery will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. However, the construction of the Distillation Units, Hydrotreater and the Large Refinery will require substantial equity and debt financing, far beyond the expected resources of the Company, and we anticipate that these Subsidiaries will obtain equity and debt financing to finance the cost of construction. We anticipate these Subsidiaries will be able to finance approximately 65 to 70% of the total costs of the Distillation Units and the Large Refinery through debt financing, and the remaining 35 to 30% of the total costs would be financed through equity investments. To the extent these Subsidiaries raise money through the issuance of equity securities, our ownership will be diluted. We intend to retain managerial control of the Subsidiaries; however, our economic ownership of such entities may be a minority interest. As such, we will be entitled to only a portion of any future distributions made by these Subsidiaries.

We plan on marketing and distributing refined products in the Western areas of the United States and Mexico, and we may export product to Latin America. The Projects will be located on the Texas Pacifico Railroad rail route 20 miles Northeast of Fort Stockton, Texas, approximately 1.5 miles from the Sulphur Junction on the Texas Pacifico Railroad. Once needed repairs are finished to the tracks and railway, the Texas Pacifico Railroad will connect to the Ferromex RR in Ojinago, Mexico, giving us access to the western Mexico markets.

 

The Company has hired VFuels Oil & Gas Engineering and Saulsbury Industries (the “EPCs”) with respect to the construction of the 1 st CDU. The total indicated cost estimate including continencies and owner costs plus or minus 10% is $105 Million for the 1 st CDU. Once we close on the financing and issue the notice to proceed, the completion and start-up date guaranteed by the EPCs is 15 months. We expect the 2 nd CDU to be less in cost than the 1 st CDU and the Hydrotreater capex to be in the range of $25,000,000. The total indicated cost of the 1 st CDU, the 2 nd CDU and the Hydrotreater is in the range of $200 million.

 

According to a report the Company received from KP Engineering, the cost of a 50,000-bpd refinery is estimated to be approximately $500 million and the cost of a 100,000-bpd refinery is estimated to be approximately $850 million. These estimates are only preliminary estimates and are subject to substantial change when additional engineering is completed.

 

Constructing the Projects will require a significant number of governmental permits and approvals. The principal permit for the construction of any of the Projects is the Air Permit issued by TCEQ and significant construction will not begin until we have received the Air Permit. The Company has received the Air Permit for the 1 st Distillation Unit. Once the permit is filed for the, it may take approximately 18 months to obtain the Air Permit for the Large Refinery.

 

Through April 30, 2019, we have had no revenues and have reported continuing losses from operations.

 

Results of Operations

 

We recorded a net loss of $3,986,830 or $(0.13) per share, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, compared to net income of $2,229,620, or $0.00 per share, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018. As discussed below, the net income or loss for any fiscal year fluctuates materially due to non-operating gains and losses.

 

Revenues

 

We have not yet begun to generate revenues.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our general and administrative expenses increased $214,698 to $1,331,096 for the year ended April 30, 2019 from $1,116,398 for the year ended April 30, 2018. The increase is due to additional professional fees, salaries, travel and other expenses associated with securing debt financing, administrative activities of our proposed refinery project.

 

Refinery Start-Up Costs

 

During the year ended April 30, 2019, the expenditures for the development of our proposed crude oil refinery in Pecos County, Texas decreased from the prior fiscal year due to financing constraints. We expense all costs incurred prior to opening the refinery, including acquisition of refinery rights, planning, design and permitting. Such costs totaled $531,983 and $828,609 for the years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

 

Our depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $30,914 for the year ended April 30, 2019 from $1,851 for the year ended April 30, 2018. The increase in the current year is due to depreciation of refinery land improvements and amortization of refinery land easements.

Other Income (Expense)

 

Our interest expense increased $48,327 to $1,976,307 for the year ended April 30, 2019 from $1,927,980 for the year ended April 30, 2018. The increase in interest expense is due to interest accrued on an increased level of convertible debt during the current fiscal year, including amortization of debt discount.

 

For the year ended April 30, 2019, we reported a loss on derivative liabilities of $128,860. For the year ended April 30, 2018, we reported a gain on derivative liabilities of $4,604,471. The gain on derivative liabilities in the prior fiscal year resulted primarily from the exercise of substantially all warrants.

 

In a series of subscription agreements, we have issued warrants that contain certain anti-dilution provisions that we have identified as derivatives. We also identified the variable conversion feature of certain convertible notes payable as derivatives. We estimate the fair value of the derivatives using multinomial lattice models that value the warrants based on a probability weighted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility and management’s estimates of various potential equity financing transactions. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management's judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.

 

We reported a gain on extinguishment of debt of $14,239 for the year ended April 30, 2019 compared to a gain on extinguishment of debt of $409,716 for the year ended April 30, 2018. The gain on extinguishment of debt generally results from the settlement and extinguishment of convertible notes payable, preferred stock and certain accounts payable and accrued expenses. Where shares of our Class A common stock are issued in extinguishment of debt, we record the value of the shares issued at the current market price, which at times differs from the book value of the debt extinguished, resulting in a gain or loss on extinguishment of debt.

 

For the year ended April 30, 2019, we reported a loss on conversion of debt to common stock of $1,909. We had no gain or loss on conversion of debt for the year ended April 30, 2018.

 

We reported a gain on assignment and assumption agreement of $1,090,271 for the year ended April 30, 2018. On September 18, 2017, the Company, the members of LatAm and William B. Short (“Short”), an unrelated individual, entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to which Short acquired the member interests in LatAm, thereby acquiring all the assets and assuming all the liabilities of MCCH, MCC and CC. Short agreed to assume all liabilities and hold the Company harmless from any and all liabilities (contingent or otherwise). In consideration therefor, we issued Short 10,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, valued at $110,000, or $0.011 per share, equal to the market value of the stock on the date of the agreement, which amount was recorded as a reduction of the gain on Assignment and Assumption Agreement. We did not have similar gain for the year ended April 30, 2019.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

As a result of the above, we reported a net loss of $3,386,830 for the year ended April 30, 2019. For the year ended April 30, 2018, we reported net income of $2,229,620.

 

Non-Controlling Interest in (Income) Loss of Consolidated Subsidiaries

 

We had no non-controlling interest in net income or loss of consolidated subsidiaries for the year ended April 30, 2019 due to no activity in the consolidated subsidiaries. Non-controlling interest in income of consolidated subsidiaries was $388,314 for the year ended April 30, 2018 resulting primarily from elimination of the accounts of MCCH, MCC and CC pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement entered into on September 18, 2017.

 

Net Loss Attributable to the Company

 

Net loss attributable to the Company was the same as net loss of $3,986,830 for the year ended April 30, 2019. Net income attributable to the Company was $1,841,306 for the year ended April 30, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Working Capital

 

As of April 30, 2019, we had current assets of $94,137, comprised of cash of $55,188 and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $38,949, and current liabilities of $3,813,739, resulting in a working capital deficit of $3,719,602. Included in our current liabilities as of April 30, 2019 are derivative liabilities of $1,825,596, which we do not anticipate will require the payment of cash.

By comparison, we had net cash provided by financing activities of $2,115,871 for the year ended April 30, 2018, comprised of net proceeds from convertible notes payable of $1,831,500 and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $284,371.

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred continuous losses from operations, have an accumulated deficit of $39,064,118 and a total stockholders’ deficit of $3,363,675 at April 30, 2019, and have reported negative cash flows from operations since inception. In addition, we do not currently have the cash resources to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months, and we expect to have ongoing requirements for capital investment to implement our business plan, including the construction of our proposed refinery project. Finally, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which we operate.

Table of Contents

 

Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through private debt and equity financing, as well as capital contributions by our subsidiaries' partners, and we expect to continue to seek additional funding through private or public equity and debt financing.

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional debt or equity capital and/or that our cash generated by our operations will be adequate to meet our needs. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt that we may be able to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Capital Resources

 

We have not generated any revenues or operating cash flows. As a result, we have significant short-term cash needs. Our principal source of operating capital has been provided from private sales of our common stock and warrants and convertible debt financing.

 

During the year ended April 30, 2019, we issued an aggregate of $2,302,600 principal amount of convertible notes resulting in net proceeds to us of $2,032,653. The notes are due and payable on various dates through October 16, 2020 and bear interest at rates ranging from 8% to 12%. The notes are convertible into shares of our Class A common stock at a discount from the lowest price during certain measurement periods prior to the date of conversion. In order to redeem the notes, we will be required to pay redemption premiums that range from 18% to 50% of the principal amounts of the notes, depending upon the date of redemption. The notes also contain penalty provisions in the event of our default in repayment of the notes (if not converted by the holder into shares of common stock) on the first anniversary after issuance. See Note 8 to our financial statements for a detail description of each note issued during the year ended April 30, 2019. During the year ended April 30, 2019, $1,210,304 total principal of convertible notes was converted into shares of our Class A common stock.

 

On June 12, 2017, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with Crown Bridge Partners, LLC (“Crown Bridge”). The Equity Purchase Agreement allowed the Company to deliver a put notice to Crown Bridge stating the dollar amount of common stock that it intends to sell to Crown Bridge on the date specified in the put notice. The amount of each put notice is limited to a formula that is equal to the lesser of (i) $100,000 or (ii) 150% of the average dollar value of the trading volume of the Company’s stock, measured at the lowest price during the trading period, for the seven days prior to the purchase of shares by Crown Bridge. The purchase price of shares issued in respect of each put notice is 80% of the average of the three lowest trading prices in the seven trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Company exercises its put right. 

 

On February 14, 2018, March 19, 2018 and April 2, 2018, the Company delivered put notices to Crown Bridge pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement. A total of 1,300,960 Class A common shares were issued to Crown Bridge for total net cash proceeds of $284,371. A fourth put notice, dated April 6, 2018, was delivered to Crown Bridge for 989,473 Class A common shares, which shares were issued in July 2018. The fourth put notice was funded on September 4, 2018 in the amount of $116,252. The Company’s right to deliver further put notices under the Equity Purchase Agreement was terminated on April 10, 2018, when the listing of our Class A common stock was moved to the OTC Pink.

Effective May 7, 2019, the Company issued and delivered to Odyssey Capital Funding LLC (“Odyssey”) a 10% convertible note in the principal amount of $100,000. The Company received $95,000 after payment of $5,000 of fees and expenses of the lender and its counsel. Odyssey, at its option, may convert the unpaid principal balance of, and accrued interest on, the note into shares of common stock at a 40% discount from the lowest trading price during the 20 days prior to and including the conversion date (with a floor of $0.03 per share for the six months following the date of the note). The note matures on May 7, 2020. The Company may redeem the note at redemption prices ranging from 130% to 140% during the first 120 days after issuance. The Company may not redeem the note after the first 120 days after issuance.

 

Effective June 4, 2019, the Company issued and delivered to Geneva a 9% convertible note in the principal amount of $56,500. The note was issued at a discount and the Company received $50,000 after payment of $3,000 of fees and expenses of the lender and its counsel. Geneva, at its option, may convert the unpaid principal balance of, and accrued interest on, the note into shares of common stock at a 29% discount from the lowest trading price during the 20 days prior to conversion. The note matures on September 4, 2020. The Company may redeem the note at redemption prices ranging from 105% to 130% during the first 180 days after issuance. The Company may not redeem the note after the first 180 days after issuance.

 

Effective June 19, 2019, the Company issued and delivered to Odyssey a 10% convertible note in the principal amount of $250,000. Of the note proceeds, $144,296 was paid to One44 to redeem its February 27, 2019 convertible note and the Company received $80,704 after payment of $25,000 of legal and brokerage fees. Odyssey, at its option, may convert the unpaid principal balance of, and accrued interest on, the note into shares of common stock at a 40% discount from the lowest trading price during the 20 days prior to and including the date of conversion (with a floor of $0.03 per share for the six months following the date of the note). The note matures on June 19, 2020. The Company may redeem the note at redemption prices ranging from 130% to 140% during the first 120 days after issuance. The Company may not redeem the note after the first 120 days after issuance.

 

We do not expect to have the financial resources necessary to complete the proposed Refinery projects. The Company expects to operate the Distillation Unit through its subsidiary, Pecos Refining, and to operate the Large Refinery through another subsidiary set up for such purpose. The construction of the Distillation Unit and the Large Refinery will require substantial equity and debt financing, far beyond the expected resources of the Company. We anticipate that these Subsidiaries will obtain typical project development financing for the construction and development of the Distillation Unit and the Large Refinery and that such financings will be composed of both debt and equity financings. We anticipate these Subsidiaries will be able to finance approximately 80% of the total costs of the Distillation Unit and the Large Refinery through debt financing, and the remaining 20% of the total costs would be financed through equity investments. The Company has had only preliminary discussions with prospective equity sources regarding the financing of these projects and it is unclear at this time if we will be able to obtain such financing and, if so, how much equity in the Subsidiaries the equity investors will require in order to provide the financing. Any equity financing into which a Subsidiary enters will dilute the Company’s ownership of such Subsidiary. In addition, while the Company believes that the Refinery’s cost is financeable in large part through debt, it has not yet obtained a letter of intent or commitment for such financing.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material 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

 

Our results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. 

 

For further information on our significant accounting policies see the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the year ended April 30, 2019. The following is a description of those significant accounting policies that involve estimates and judgment by management.

Derivative liabilities

 

In a series of subscription agreements, the Company issued warrants in prior years that contain certain anti-dilution provisions that have been identified as derivatives. In addition, the Company identified the conversion feature of certain convertible notes payable and convertible preferred stock as derivatives. As of April 30, 2019, the number of warrants or common shares to be issued under these agreements is indeterminate; therefore, the Company concluded that the equity environment is tainted and all additional warrants, stock options and convertible debt are included in the value of the derivative. We estimate the fair value of the derivatives using multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liabilities based on a probability weighted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility and management’s estimates of various potential equity financing transactions. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management's judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the FASB establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

 

An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value using a hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy prioritized the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Our derivative liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and estimated as follows:

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

There have been no changes in or disagreements with our accountants on accounting and financial disclosures.

 

Item 9A(T): Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2019. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have identified the following material weaknesses:

 
 
28
 
Table of Contents

 

 

1.

As of April 30, 2019, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

 

 

 

 

2.

As of April 30, 2019, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

 

 

 

3.

As of April 30, 3019, we did not establish a formal written policy for the approval, identification and authorization of related party transactions.

 

 

 

 

4.

As of April 30, 2019, we had no full-time employees with the requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting. As a result, there is a lack of proper segregation of duties necessary to insure that all transactions are accounted for accurately and in a timely manner.

 

Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2019, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

 

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting through the date of this report or during the quarter ended April 30, 2019, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

 

Independent Registered Accountant's Internal Control Attestation.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

 

Corrective Action. Management plans to address the structure of the Board of Directors and discuss adding an audit committee during fiscal year 2020.

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance

 

Directors and Executive Officers

 

The Board of Directors currently consists of two persons. Directors serve until the next annual meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified. The following table sets forth information about our directors and executive officers:

 

Name

 

Age

Year First Elected Director

Director

 

2010

  

Mr. Hanks has served as Director, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company since the merger of Maple Carpenter Creek, LLC with the Company in September 2010. Mr. Hanks founded Maple Resources Corporation in 1986 and has been President or Chairman of the Board of Maple Resources since its inception. Mr. Hanks has also been the Executive Chairman of Maple Energy plc, a publicly-listed company on the London Stock Exchange AIM and the Lima Bolsa. Prior to founding Maple Resources Corporation, Mr. Hanks was a partner in the Washington D.C. office of the law firm of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP. Mr. Hanks graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a law degree in 1971 and a petroleum land management degree in 1968. We believe that Mr. Hanks’ business, finance and management experience qualifies him to serve as a member of our board of directors.

 

Mr. Lemons has been a practicing lawyer in the mineral area for over 25 years. He has been a private investor in oil and gas and coal projects in the last several years, including in Maple Carpenter Creek, LLC and Maple Energy, plc and predecessor entities. Since 2002, Mr. Lemons has served as a director of Ansen, an electronics manufacturing company based in upstate New York. Mr. Lemons was a partner in the law firms of Holme Roberts & Owen and in Holland & Hart. Mr. Lemons graduated law school from Brigham Young University in 1980, where he was a member of law review, and holds undergraduate degrees in Economics and Political Science from Utah State University. We believe that Mr. Lemons’ business, finance and management experience qualifies him to serve as a member of our board of directors.

 

We are not aware of any “family relationships” (as defined in Item 401(d) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC) among directors, executive officers, or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.

 

The Board of Directors has determined that neither director is “independent” as such term is defined by the listing standards of Nasdaq and the rules of the SEC. Mr. Lemons is not “independent” due to his significant beneficial ownership of our common stock. Mr. Hanks is not “independent” due to his significant beneficial ownership of our common stock and his role as an executive officer of the Company.

 

Audit, Nominating and Compensation Committees

 

Because we are not listed on a securities exchange, we are not required to establish audit, nominating or compensation committees of the Board of Directors and we have not done so. In the event we elect to seek listing on a securities exchange, we will meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by a national securities exchange, including the appointment of an audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee, the adoption of charters for each such committee and the appointment of independent directors to such committees as required by the requirements of such securities exchange.

Compensation of Directors

No option awards were granted to our non-executive directors during the year ended April 30, 3019. There were no stock option awards outstanding at April 30, 2019 to our non-executive directors:

(1) Mr. Hanks has served as Chief Executive Officer since September 21, 2010.

 

There are no employment agreements in place and no severance benefits are currently in place. During the years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, we incurred consulting fees and expense reimbursement related to the development of the refinery project to Maple Resources Corporation (“Maple Resources”), a related party controlled by our President and CEO, totaling $350,931 and $123,986, respectively. Amounts included in accounts payable due to Maple Resources totaled $9,403 and $5,583 as of April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End

 

We have not granted any stock awards other than stock options. At April 30, 2019, we had no outstanding stock options or other equity awards.

 

As a condition for entering into an October 9, 2018 convertible debenture, the lender required affiliates of our directors (the “Affiliates”), to pledge their shares of Class B Common Stock (constituting 100% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock) to the lender to secure the repayment of the debenture by the Company. As consideration to the Affiliates for entering into the GS pledge agreement, the Company granted a ten-year option, effective as of December 11, 2018, to the Affiliates to purchase 1,000,000 Class A Shares and 1,000,000 Class B Shares at $0.08 per share.

 

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

 

The following table sets forth as of July 12, 2019, the name and number of shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by (i) each of the directors and named executive officers of the Company, (ii) beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock; and (iii) all the officers and directors as a group. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, shares of common stock that an individual or group has a right to acquire within 60 days pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants are deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of such individual or group, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person shown in the table.

Table of Contents

 

SEC rules provide that, for purposes hereof, a person is considered the “beneficial owner” of shares with respect to which the person, directly or indirectly, has or shares the voting or investment power, irrespective of his/her/its economic interest in the shares. Unless otherwise noted, each person identified possesses sole voting and investment power over the shares listed, subject to community property laws.

 

The percentages in the table below are based on 271,588,167 shares of Class A common stock and 15,000,000 shares of Class B common stock outstanding on July 12, 2019. Shares of common stock subject to options and warrants that are exercisable within 60 days of July 12, 2019 are deemed beneficially owned by the person holding such options for the purposes of calculating the percentage of ownership of such person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of any other person.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence

 

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms of the following transactions between related parties were not determined as a result of arm’s length negotiations.

 

Contractual Agreements

 

On March 4, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Maple Resources Corporation (“Maple Resources”), a related party owned by Mr. Jack W. Hanks, to acquire Maple Resources’ business plan to build a $450 million, 50,000 barrels per day capacity crude oil refinery in Pecos County, Texas in exchange for the issuance of 7 billion shares of common stock. The Company issued 15,000,000 shares of common stock on March 4, 2017. Subsequently, the Company amended and restated its articles of incorporation to authorize Class A and Class B common stock. Upon such amendment and restatement, Maple Resources agreed to waive its right to receive the remainder of the 7 billion shares of common stock and the 1.5 billion shares already issued were designated as Class B common stock. The Class B common stock is identical to the Class A common stock except that the Class A common stock has one vote per share and the Class B common stock has 10 votes per share. The 15,000,000 Class B common stock issued to Maple Resources was valued at $150,000 by an independent valuation firm, with the $150,000 expensed to refinery start-up costs.

Table of Contents

 

Maple Resources subsequently granted BNL Family Trust (“BNL”), a related party to Mr. Lemons, an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Class B common stock from Maple Resources at a price of $0.20 per share. The option expires in March 2022. Beneficial ownership of Messrs. Hanks and. Lemons give effect to the exercise of such option.

 

As a condition for entering into an October 9, 2018 convertible debenture, the lender required Maple Resources and BNL, affiliates of Jack W. Hanks and Bruce Lemons, respectively, our directors (the “Affiliates”), to pledge their shares of Class B Common Stock (constituting 100% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock) to the lender to secure the repayment of the debenture by the Company. As consideration to the Affiliates for entering into the pledge agreement, the Company granted a ten-year option, effective as of December 11, 2018, to the Affiliates to purchase 1,000,000 of Class A Shares and 1,000,000 of the Class B Shares at $0.08 per share. The options expire in December 2028. The value of the derivative associated with the option was estimated at $42,217, which amount was charged to expense.

 

Consulting Fees and Expense Reimbursement

 

During the years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, we incurred consulting fees and expense reimbursement related to the development of the refinery project to Maple Resources, a related party controlled by our President and CEO, totaling $350,931 and $123,986, respectively. Amounts included in accounts payable due to Maple Resources totaled $9,403 and $5,583 as of April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Effective October 1, 2018, we entered into a consulting agreement with a related party to issue shares of our Class A common stock each month with a value of $2,500, with the number of shares issued based on the average closing price of the stock during the prior month. During the year ended April 30, 2019, we issued a total of 193,965 Class A common shares valued at $11,166 to the related party. A gain on extinguishment of debt of $3,835 related to this compensation arrangement was recorded as a contribution to capital in the year ended April 30, 2019.

 

Accrued Expenses

 

Accrued expenses, consisting of consulting fees, to related parties totaled $41,036 as of April 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

Item 14: Principal Accounting Fees and Services

 

Our independent auditors, M&K CPAs, PLLC ("M&K"), have no direct or indirect interest in the Company and have been the Company's Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm since 2009.

For the year ended April 30, 2019, 100% of all audit-related services were pre-approved by the Board of Directors, which concluded that the provision of such services by M&K was compatible with the maintenance of that firm's independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of MMEX Resources Corporation

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MMEX Resources Corporation (the Company) as of April 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2019, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2013.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended April 30, 2019 and 2018

 

NOTE 1 – BACKGROUND, ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

MMEX Resources Corporation (the “Company” or “MMEX”) is a company engaged in the exploration, extraction, refining and distribution of oil, gas, petroleum products and electric power. We plan to focus on the acquisition, development and financing of oil, gas, refining and electric power projects in Texas, Peru, and other countries in Latin America using the expertise of our principals to identify, finance and acquire these projects. The most significant focus of our current business plan is to build crude oil refining facilities in the Permian Basin in West Texas.

 

MMEX was formed as a Nevada corporation in 2005. The current management team led an acquisition of the Company (then named Management Energy, Inc.) through a reverse merger completed on September 23, 2010 and changed the Company’s name to MMEX Mining Corporation on February 11, 2011 and to MMEX Resources Corporation on April 6, 2016

Pecos Refining & Transport, LLC (“Pecos Refining”) was formed in June 2017 with the Company as its sole member. Through Pecos Refining, the Company plans to build and commence operations of a crude oil distillation unit in the Permian Basin in West Texas.

 

As of April 13, 2016, the Company assigned AMC to an irrevocable trust (the “Trust”), whose beneficiaries are the existing shareholders of MMEX. The accounts of AMC are included in the consolidated financial statements due to the common ownership. AMC through the Trust controls the Hunza coal interest previously owned by MMEX.

 

All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

  

The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of April 30.

The ownership interests in subsidiaries that are held by owners other than the Company are recorded as non-controlling interest and reported in our consolidated balance sheets within stockholders’ deficit. Losses attributed to the non-controlling interest and to the Company are reported separately in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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 the 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.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount, and is depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life or legal life of the related asset as follows:

 

Office furniture and equipment

10 years

Computer equipment and software

5 years

Refinery land improvement

15 years

Refinery land easements

10 years

 

The refinery land easements owned by the Company have a legal life of 10 years.

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments will be capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations.

 

The Company will assess the recoverability of property and equipment by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of these assets over their remaining life can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of equipment impairment, if any, will be measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which such impairment is determined by management.

 

Derivative liabilities

 

In a series of subscription agreements, the Company issued warrants in prior years that contain certain anti-dilution provisions that have been identified as derivatives. In addition, the Company identified the conversion feature of certain convertible notes payable and convertible preferred stock as derivatives. As of April 30, 2019, the number of warrants or common shares to be issued under these agreements is indeterminate; therefore, the Company concluded that the equity environment is tainted and all additional warrants, stock options and convertible debt are included in the value of the derivative. We estimate the fair value of the derivatives using multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liabilities based on a probability weighted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility and management’s estimates of various potential equity financing transactions. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management's judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.

Fair value of financial instruments

 

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the FASB establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.

 

An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value using a hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy prioritized the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Our derivative liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and estimated as follows:

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective May1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , as amended, using the modified retrospective method, which requires the cumulative effect of adoption to be recognized as an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. To date, the Company has no operating revenues; therefore, there was no cumulative effect of adopting the new standard and no impact on our financial statements. The new standard provides a single comprehensive model to be used in the accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The standard’s stated core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, ASC 606 includes provisions within a five-step model that includes identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizing revenue when, or as, an entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Refinery start-up costs

 

Costs incurred prior to opening the Company’s proposed crude oil refinery in Pecos County, Texas, including acquisition of refinery rights, planning, design and permitting, are recorded as start-up costs and expensed as incurred.

 

Advertising and promotion

 

All costs associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred. No expenses were incurred for the years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

 

Uncertain tax positions

 

The Company has adopted FASB standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

 

Various taxing authorities periodically audit the Company's income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company's tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities and has not identified any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its consolidated financial statements.

 

The assessment of the Company's tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company's various filing positions.

 

Basic and diluted income (loss) per share

 

Basic net income or loss per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss (available to common stockholders) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income or loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options, warrants, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock, were exercised or converted into common stock. For the year ended April 30, 2019, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share; therefore, basic net loss per common share is the same as diluted net loss per share. For the year ended April 30, 2018, potential dilutive securities included 5,084,477 shares issuable for convertible debt.

Stock-based compensation

 

Pursuant to FASB ASC 718, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. For the years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded share-based compensation to employees of $13,366 and $0, respectively. Effective January 2019, the Company had no employees.

 

Issuance of shares for non-cash consideration

 

The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and/or services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably determinable. The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of the standards issued by the FASB. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined as the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820).” The amendments in this Update modify certain disclosure requirements of fair value measurements and are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently unable to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transactions. This new pronouncement, as amended, is effective January 1, 2019 for calendar-year-end public companies, or May 1, 2019 for the Company. Early adoption is permitted. The Company currently does not have any material leases and does not believe the adoption of this new pronouncement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred continuous losses from operations, have an accumulated deficit of $39,064,118 and a total stockholders’ deficit of $3,363,675 at April 30, 2019, and have reported negative cash flows from operations since inception. In addition, we do not currently have the cash resources to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months, and we expect to have ongoing requirements for capital investment to implement our business plan, including the construction of our proposed refinery project. Finally, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which we operate.

 
 
F-13
 
Table of Contents

 

Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through private debt and equity financing, and we expect to continue to seek additional funding through private or public equity and debt financing.

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional debt or equity capital and/or that our cash generated by our operations will be adequate to meet our needs. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Accrued expenses, consisting of consulting fees, to related parties totaled $31,633 as of April 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

During the years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, we incurred consulting fees and expense reimbursement related to the development of the refinery project to Maple Resources Corporation (“Maple Resources”), a related party controlled by our President and CEO, totaling $350,931 and $123,986, respectively. Amounts included in accounts payable due to Maple Resources totaled $9,403 and $5,583 as of April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Effective October 1, 2018, we entered into a consulting agreement with a related party to issue shares of our Class A common stock each month with a value of $2,500, with the number of shares issued based on the average closing price of the stock during the prior month. During the year ended April 30, 2019, we issued a total of 193,965 Class A common shares valued at $11,166 to the related party with the shares valued at the market price on the date of issuance. A gain on extinguishment of debt of $3,835 related to this compensation arrangement was recorded as a contribution to capital in the year ended April 30, 2019.

 

During the year ended April 30, 2019, we issued to an employee 101,833 shares of our Class A common stock valued at $13,366 with the shares valued at the market price on the date of issuance. The employee was terminated in January 2019.

 

As a condition for entering into an October 9, 2018 convertible debenture (see Note 8), the lender required affiliates of Jack W. Hanks and Bruce Lemons, our directors (the “Affiliates”), to pledge their shares of Class B Common Stock (constituting 100% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock) to the lender to secure the repayment of the debenture by the Company. As consideration to the Affiliates for entering into the pledge agreement, the Company granted a ten-year option, effective as of December 11, 2018, to the Affiliates to purchase 1,000,000 of Class A Shares and 1,000,000 of the Class B Shares at $0.08 per share. The value of the derivative associated with the option was estimated at $42,217, which amount was charged to expense.

On July 28, 2017, the Company acquired 126 acres of land located near Fort Stockton, Texas for $67,088. This 126-acre parcel is the tract on which the Company intends to build a crude oil refinery (Note 6). Subsequently through April 30, 2019, the Company incurred a total of $478,480 additional costs to acquire certain easements related to the land parcel and make other improvements.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $30,914 and $1,851 for the years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

NOTE 6 – REFINERY PROJECT

 

On March 4, 2017, we entered into an agreement with Maple Resources, a related party, to acquire all of Maple’s right, title and interest (the “Rights”) in plans to build a crude oil refinery in Pecos County, Texas (the “Refinery Transaction”). Pursuant to the Refinery Transaction, we agreed to acquire the Rights in exchange for the issuance of 15,000,000 Class B common shares. The 15,000,000 Class B common stock issued for the Rights were valued at $150,000 by an independent valuation firm, with the $150,000 expensed to refinery start-up costs.

 

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pecos Refining, we intend initially to build and commence operation of a 10,000 barrel-per-day distillation unit (the “Distillation Unit”) that will produce a non-transportation grade diesel primarily for sale in the local market for drilling mud and frac fluids, along with naphtha for use in petrochemical and refinery processing and residual fuel oil to be sold for use in other refineries or as marine fuel. Through a separate subsidiary, we intend to build and commence operation of a crude oil refinery (the “Large Refinery”) with up to 100,000 barrel-per-day capacity at a near-by location in West Texas (collectively with the Distillation Unit, the “Refinery Project”). The Refinery Project will be built on additional acres located 20 miles northeast of Fort Stockton, Texas.

 

On July 28, 2017, we acquired the 126-acre parcel of the land, which is the site for our planned Distillation Unit (Note 5), at a purchase price of $550 per acre, or $67,088. We continue to negotiate with the seller of the property to acquire an additional 381-acre parcel, which is the site for the planned Large Refinery, at a price of $550 per acre, or approximately $210,000. We will be required to obtain additional financing to complete this purchase.

 

On July 31, 2017, we filed an application with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) to obtain an air quality permit and obtained permit approval from the TCEQ on August 30, 2017. Accordingly, we will begin construction on the Distillation Unit on 15 acres of our 126-acre tract as soon we receive adequate financing to do so.

 

Completion of the Refinery Project will require substantial equity and debt financing and is subject to the receipt of required governmental permits.

Effective March 21, 2018, the Company issued and delivered to Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus”) an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $220,000. The Company received $202,000 of note proceeds after payment of $18,000 of the fees and expenses of the lender and its counsel. The Company can redeem the note at any time prior to 90 days from the issuance date at a redemption price of 130% plus accrued interest. The redemption price thereafter increases to 145%, plus accrued interest, until the 180th day after issuance. Auctus, at its option, may convert the unpaid principal balance and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of no lower than $3.00 per share of common stock until the 180th day after issuance and thereafter at a 45% discount from the average of the two lowest trading prices during the 25 days prior to conversion. The note also contains penalty provisions in the event of default in repayment of the note (if not converted by Auctus into shares of common stock) on the maturity date of March 21, 2019. During the year ended April 30, 2019, the maturity date of the note was extended to September 21, 2019 and an extension fee of $15,000 was added to the note principal.

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

In a series of subscription agreements, the Company issued warrants in prior years that contain certain anti-dilution provisions that have been identified as derivatives. In addition, the Company identified the conversion feature of certain convertible notes payable and convertible preferred stock as derivatives. As of April 30, 2019 and 2018, the number of warrants or common shares to be issued under these agreements is indeterminate; therefore, the Company concluded that the equity environment is tainted and all additional warrants, stock options and convertible debt are included in the value of the derivative.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of the derivative liabilities at the issuance date and at each subsequent reporting date, using a multinomial lattice model simulation. The model is based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes.

 

During the years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, we had the following activity in our derivative liabilities:

Key inputs and assumptions used in valuing the Company’s derivative liabilities as of April 30, 2019 are as follows:

 

 

· Stock prices on all measurement dates were based on the fair market value

 

· Risk-free interest rate of 2.39%

 

· The probability of future financing was estimated at 100%

 

· Computed volatility ranging from 157% to 175%

 

These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management's judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.

NOTE 11 – EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

On June 12, 2017, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with Crown Bridge. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, Crown Bridge committed to purchase up to $3,000,000 of our common stock for a period of up to 24 months commencing upon the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of shares issuable to Crown Bridge under the Equity Purchase Agreement. The Equity Purchase Agreement allowed the Company to deliver a put notice to Crown Bridge stating the dollar amount of common stock that it intends to sell to Crown Bridge on the date specified in the put notice. The amount of each put notice is limited to a formula that is equal to the lesser of (i) $100,000 or (ii) 150% of the average dollar value of the trading volume of the Company’s stock, measured at the lowest price during the trading period, for the seven days prior to the purchase of shares by Crown Bridge. The purchase price of shares issued in respect of each put notice is 80% of the average of the three lowest trading prices in the seven trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Company exercises its put right.

 

On February 14, 2018, March 19, 2018 and April 2, 2018, the Company delivered put notices to Crown Bridge pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement. A total of 1,300,960 Class A common shares were issued to Crown Bridge for total net cash proceeds of $284,371. A fourth put notice, dated April 6, 2018, was delivered to Crown Bridge for 989,474 Class A common shares, which shares were issued in July 2018. The fourth put notice was funded in September 2018 in the amount of $116,252.

 

The Company’s right to deliver further put notices under the Equity Purchase Agreement was terminated on April 10, 2018, when the listing of our Class A common stock was moved to the OTC Pink.

Warrants

 

The Company has issued warrants in prior years to investors in a series of subscription agreements in equity financings or for other stock-based compensation. Certain of the warrants contain anti-dilution provisions that the Company has identified as derivatives. We estimate the fair value of the derivatives using multinomial lattice models that value the warrants based on a probability weighted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes and considering the existence of a tainted equity environment (see Note 9).

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with standards of disclosure propounded by the FASB, and any related interpretations of those standards sanctioned by the FASB. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as a consideration of net operating loss and credit carry forwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for the period in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

 

No provision for income taxes has been recorded due to the net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $12,851,000 as of April 30, 2019 that will be offset against future taxable income. The available net operating loss carry forwards expire in various years through 2039. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry forwards will expire unused. There were no uncertain tax positions taken by the Company.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act established new tax laws that affect 2018 and future years, including a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. The reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate is reflected in the above tables.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, MMEX RESOURCES CORPORATION (the “ Company ”) promises to pay to the order of ODYSSEY CAPITAL FUNDING LLC and its authorized successors and permitted assigns (“ Holder ”), the aggregate principal face amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars (U.S. $100,000.00) on May 7, 2020 (“ Maturity Date ”) and to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at the rate of 10% per annum commencing on May 7, 2019 (“ Issuance Date ”). The interest will be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Note. The principal of, and interest on, this Note are payable at 1249 Broadway, Suite 103, Hewlett, NY 11557, initially, and if changed, last appearing on the records of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder hereof from time to time. The Company will pay each interest payment and the outstanding principal due upon this Note before or on the Maturity Date, less any amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, to the Holder of this Note by check or wire transfer addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the records of the Company. The forwarding of such check or wire transfer shall constitute a payment of outstanding principal hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer. Interest shall be payable in Common Stock (as defined below) pursu-ant to paragraph 4(b) herein. Permitted Assigns means any Holder assignment, transfer or sale of all or a portion of this Note accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel as provided for in Section 2(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No ser-vice charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange, except that Holder shall pay any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection therewith. To the extent that Holder subsequently transfers, assigns, sells or exchanges any of the multiple lesser denomination notes, Holder acknowledges that it will provide the Company with Opinions of Counsel as provided for in Section 2(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

2. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all payments any amounts required to be withheld under applicable laws.

 

3. This Note may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“ Act ”), applicable state securities laws and Sections 2(f) and 5(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any attempted transfer to a non-qualifying party shall be treated by the Company as void. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company's records as the owner hereof for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound by notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Note electing to exercise the right of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4(a), and any prequalified prospective transferee of this Note, also is required to give the Company written confirmation that this Note is being converted (“ Notice of Conversion ”) in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. The date of receipt (including receipt by telecopy) of such Notice of Conversion shall be the Conver-sion Date. All notices of conversion will be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

 

4. (a) The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time, to con-vert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company's common stock (the “ Common Stock ”) at a price (“ Conversion Price ”) for each share of Common Stock equal to 60% of the lowest trading price (with a floor of $0.03 per share “Fixed Floor”) of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTCQB exchange which the Company’s shares are traded or any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future (“ Exchange ”) , for the twenty prior trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company or its transfer agent (provided such Notice of Conversion is delivered together with an Opinion of Counsel, by fax or other electronic method of communication to the Company after 4 P.M. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time if the Holder wishes to include the same day closing price). If the shares have not been delivered within 3 business days, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Such conversion shall be effectuated by the Company delivering the shares of Common Stock to the Holder within 3 business days of receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion. Accrued, but unpaid interest shall be subject to conversion. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. To the extent the Conversion Price of the Company’s Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Company will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law. The Company agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this increase. In the event the Company experiences a DTC “Chill” on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 50% instead of 60% while that “Chill” is in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fixed Floor shall be removed after the 6 th monthly anniversary of the Note. In no event shall the Holder be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company (which may be increased up to 9.9% upon 60 days’ prior written notice by the Investor).

(b) Interest on any unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of 10% per annum. Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock (“ Interest Shares ”).

(e) In case of any Sale Event (not to include a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) in connection with which this Note is not redeemed or converted, the Com-pany shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to purchase or convert this Note into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassifica-tion, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise of the Note and at the same Conversion Price, as defined in this Note, immediately prior to such Sale Event. The forego-ing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.

 

5. No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Com-pany, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed.

 

6. The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for pay-ment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereto.

(b) Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein or in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note, or the Securities Purchase Agreement under which this note was issued shall be false or misleading in any respect; or

 

(c) The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any respect, any covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Company under this Note or any other note issued to the Holder; or

Upon an Event of Default, interest shall accrue at a default interest rate of 24% per annum or, if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the highest rate of interest permitted by law.

5

The Company must pay the Failure to Deliver Loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be made by the third business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice to the Com-pany.

 

9. In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

12. The Company shall issue irrevocable transfer agent instructions reserving 38,095,000 shares of its Common Stock for conversions under this Note (the “Share Reserve”). Upon full conversion of this Note, any shares remaining in the Share Reserve shall be cancelled.

If such amounts are to be paid by the Holder, it may deduct such amounts from the Conversion Price.

The Holder may reasonably request increases from time to time to reserve such amounts. The Company will instruct its transfer agent to provide the outstanding share information to the Holder in connection with its conversions.

 

13. The Company will give the Holder direct notice of any corporate actions, including but not limited to name changes, stock splits, recapitalizations etc. This notice shall be given to the Holder as soon as possible under law.

 

14. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable provision shall automatically be revised to equal the maximum rate of interest or other amount deemed interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not seek to claim or take advantage of any law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or a portion of the principal or interest on this Note.

10% CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE NOTE

DUE JUNE 19, 2020

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, MMEX RESOURCES CORPORATION (the “Company”) promises to pay to the order of ODYSSEY CAPITAL FUNDING LLC and its authorized successors and permitted assigns (" Holder "), the aggregate principal face amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars (U.S. $250,000.00) on June 19, 2020 (" Maturity Date ") and to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at the rate of 10% per annum commencing on June 19, 2019 (“ Issuance Date ”). The interest will be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company regarding registration and transfers of this Note. The principal of, and interest on, this Note are payable at 1249 Broadway, Suite 103, Hewlett, NY 11557, initially, and if changed, last appearing on the records of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder hereof from time to time. The Company will pay each interest payment and the outstanding principal due upon this Note before or on the Maturity Date, less any amounts required by law to be deducted or withheld, to the Holder of this Note by check or wire transfer addressed to such Holder at the last address appearing on the records of the Company. The forwarding of such check or wire transfer shall constitute a payment of outstanding principal hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer. Interest shall be payable in Common Stock (as defined below) pursuant to paragraph 4(b) herein. Permitted Assigns means any Holder assignment, transfer or sale of all or a portion of this Note accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel as provided for in Section 2(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1. This Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange, except that Holder shall pay any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection therewith. To the extent that Holder subsequently transfers, assigns, sells or exchanges any of the multiple lesser denomination notes, Holder acknowledges that it will provide the Company with Opinions of Counsel as provided for in Section 2(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

2. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from all payments any amounts required to be withheld under applicable laws.

 

3. This Note may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (" Act "), applicable state securities laws and Sections 2(f) and 5(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any attempted transfer to a non-qualifying party shall be treated by the Company as void. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company's records as the owner hereof for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound by notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Note electing to exercise the right of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4(a), and any prequalified prospective transferee of this Note, also is required to give the Company written confirmation that this Note is being converted (" Notice of Conversion ") in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A . The date of receipt (including receipt by telecopy) of such Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date. All notices of conversion will be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

 

4. (a) The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then outstanding into shares of the Company's common stock (the " Common Stock ") at a price (" Conversion Price ") for each share of Common Stock equal to 60% of the lowest trading price (with a floor of $0.03 per share “Fixed Floor”) of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTCQB exchange which the Company’s shares are traded or any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future (" Exchange "), for the twenty prior trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company or its transfer agent (provided such Notice of Conversion is delivered together with an Opinion of Counsel, by fax or other electronic method of communication to the Company after 4 P.M. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time if the Holder wishes to include the same day closing price). If the shares have not been delivered within 3 business days, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Such conversion shall be effectuated by the Company delivering the shares of Common Stock to the Holder within 3 business days of receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion. Accrued, but unpaid interest shall be subject to conversion. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. To the extent the Conversion Price of the Company’s Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Company will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law. The Company agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this increase. In the event the Company experiences a DTC “Chill” on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 50% instead of 60% while that “Chill” is in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fixed Floor shall be removed after the 6 th monthly anniversary of the Note. In no event shall the Holder be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company (which may be increased up to 9.9% upon 60 days’ prior written notice by the Investor).

(b) Interest on any unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of 10% per annum. Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock ("Interest Shares"). The Holder may, at any time, send in a Notice of Conversion to the Company for Interest Shares based on the formula provided in Section 4(a) above. The dollar amount converted into Interest Shares shall be all or a portion of the accrued interest calculated on the unpaid principal balance of this Note to the date of such notice.

 

(c) The Note may be prepaid with the following penalties:

 

Prepay Date

Prepay Amount

<= 60 days after issuance

130% multiplied by (Principal and interest)

>60 days <= 120 days after issuance

(e) In case of any Sale Event (not to include a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) in connection with which this Note is not redeemed or converted, the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to purchase or convert this Note into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise of the Note and at the same Conversion Price, as defined in this Note, immediately prior to such Sale Event. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.

If the Holder shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Note, including, without limitation, engaging an attorney, then if the Holder prevails in such action, the Holder shall be reimbursed by the Company for its attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

Make-Whole for Failure to Deliver Loss. At the Holder’s election, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the conversion shares by the by the 3rd business day following the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company and if the Holder incurs a Failure to Deliver Loss, then at any time the Holder may provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Failure to Deliver Loss and the Company must make the Holder whole as follows:

Failure to Deliver Loss = [(Highest VWAP price for the 30 trading days on or after the day of exercise) x (Number of conversion shares)]

 

The Company must pay the Failure to Deliver Loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be made by the third business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice to the Company.

 

9. In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

10. Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.

12. The Company shall issue irrevocable transfer agent instructions reserving 241,546,000 shares of its Common Stock for conversions under this Note (the “Share Reserve”). Upon full conversion of this Note, any shares remaining in the Share Reserve shall be cancelled. The Company shall pay all transfer agent costs associated with issuing and delivering the share certificates to Holder. If such amounts are to be paid by the Holder, it may deduct such amounts from the Conversion Price. The Company should at all times reserve a minimum of four times the amount of shares required if this Note would be fully converted. The Holder may reasonably request increases from time to time to reserve such amounts. The Company will instruct its transfer agent to provide the outstanding share information to the Holder in connection with its conversions.

13. The Company will give the Holder direct notice of any corporate actions, including but not limited to name changes, stock splits, recapitalizations etc. This notice shall be given to the Holder as soon as possible under law.

 

14. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable provision shall automatically be revised to equal the maximum rate of interest or other amount deemed interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not seek to claim or take advantage of any law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or a portion of the principal or interest on this Note.

 

15. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York applicable to contracts made and wholly to be performed within the State of New York and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each party hereto. The Holder and the Company hereby mutually waive trial by jury and consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts of the State of New York or in the Federal courts sitting in the county or city of New York, or the Federal courts within the Southern or Eastern districts of New York. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and the facsimile transmission of an executed counterpart to this Agreement shall be effective as an original.
