PART I

 

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

 

History of the Business

 

We are a development stage company that plans to identify, evaluate and acquire oil and gas exploration and development opportunities primarily in the United States.

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 25, 2008 as “Loran Connection Corp.” We were formed to provide a variety of services in the area of individual and group tourism and business support in Ukraine. We subsequently filed a resale registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 28, 2009, which was declared effective on October 28, 2009. On January 25, 2012, we filed an amendment to our articles of incorporation to, among other things, change our name to “PetroTerra Corp.” and effect a thirty-two-for-one reverse split. We changed our name to reflect a proposed change in our business operations. On October 2, 2013, in connection with a change of control in the management of the Company, the Company began its current business operations in the oil and gas sector. On December 18, 2013, we filed a certificate of change to effect a one-for-two reverse stock split of our authorized and our outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock. On April 12, 2014, we completed our acquisition of certain property leases (the “Leases”) held by Ardmore Investments Inc. (“Ardmore”) for property owned by Pioneer Oil and Gas (“Pioneer”) covering 5,905.54 acres of land located in the Central Utah Thrust Belt in Beaver County and Sevier County, Utah (the “Utah Properties”).

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 422 East Vermijo Avenue, Suite 313, Colorado Springs, CO 80903. The telephone number at our principal executive offices is (719) 219-6404. Our web site is www.petroterracorp.com.

 

Our Business Plan

 

The Company is an independent exploration and development company focused on the acquisition of property (or property leases enabling us to explore and exploit such property) that we believe may contain extractable oil and/or gas. We will seek to acquire property in the United States and will initially focus on properties in the Central Utah Thrust Belt, including the Utah Properties.

 

In order to determine whether to acquire a property, our management team will consider, among other things, whether oil and/or gas had previously been discovered at or near the property, whether the property is located atop a proven oil and natural gas basin and whether oil and/or gas has been exploited from the property. We will also review any materials that are made available to us by the owner of the property, including well logs, production records, and other seismic, geological and geophysical information. Additionally, we will compare analogues of successes and failures from seismic and drilling data in the region. Once we have completed our initial review, we will determine whether to acquire the property. Once we acquire a property (or the right to explore and exploit a property) we will conduct a full evaluation of the property, including, without limitation, obtaining an MHA Petroleum Consultants, LLC technical report (an “MHA Technical Report”). We expect that the cost of such an evaluation will be approximately $30,000. Using the data from the evaluation, and with the assistance of third party geophysicists, petroleum engineers, geologists and other third party technical consultants that we may hire, we will determine whether further exploration of the property should be undertaken. If management elects to continue the exploration of the property, we will conduct additional due diligence, including, but not limited to, potentially obtaining existing 2-D seismic lines on and around our properties and commencing an integrated geologic-geophysical evaluation and mapping effort. Following our due diligence analysis, management will determine if the Company should attempt to conduct its own 2-D or 3-D seismic coverage to evaluate the properties further. Thereafter, management will determine if the Company should attempt to extract oil and/or gas from the property. If management elects to do so, we will engage a separate third party to extract (whether by conventional means, horizontal drilling and/or fracturing) the oil and/or gas. We expect that recent improvements in drilling and fracturing methods will augment our ability to discover and extract oil and gas.

 

By utilizing this business model, we believe that we can reduce the risks involved in each exploration project. Specifically, we believe that by compartmentalizing each step of the extraction process we will be able to limit the costs associated with each project and maintain the flexibility to abandon any projects that management believes will not yield sufficient amounts of oil and/or gas.

 

In January 2014 we hired a third party independent contractor to provide insight and to assist in the development of a plan regarding the exploration of any properties that we acquire. In March 2014, we engaged a third party independent contractor to provide geologic consulting services to the Company. In March 2014 we also obtained an MHA Technical Report on the Utah Properties. In September 2014, we engaged a third party independent contractor to review and process both the public domain gravity and aeromagnetic datasets that existed on our leased Utah Properties. In November 2014, we engaged a third party independent contractor to perform a comprehensive gravity survey on our Utah Properties which was completed in December 2014 and the results of such survey were interpreted in February 2015. We have since engaged a third party contractor to create a geologic model of the Utah Properties. Each of the foregoing actions have been implemented as part of our continuing effort to conduct a full evaluation of the Utah Properties. For more information, see “Recent Developments” below.

Recent Developments

 

On November 18, 2013, the Company entered into an assignment of lease agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby Ardmore assigned to us its rights under a certain purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated August 8, 2013, between Ardmore and Pioneer involving the sale of 5,905.54 acres of three separate BLM Management oil and gas Leases located in the Central Utah Thrust Belt in Beaver County and Sevier County, Utah and currently owned by Pioneer. Per the terms of the Agreement, we issued to Ardmore 250,000 shares of our common stock on November 18, 2013, and, in order to complete the assignment contemplated by the Agreement, we issued to Ardmore an additional 250,000 shares of our common stock upon the transfer to us of ownership in the Leases, which occurred on April 12, 2014. Furthermore, the Company made three installment payments of $100,000 each to Pioneer pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The Leases were conveyed to the Company on April 10, 2014.

 

On September 16, 2014, the Company appointed Kurt Reinecke as its Chief Operating Officer pursuant to an independent contractor agreement (the “Reinecke Agreement”) with Arrow Peak Minerals and Royalty LLC (“Arrow”). Under the Reinecke Agreement, Mr. Reinecke will perform the following services for the Company in his role as Chief Operating Officer: (i) oversee and coordinate the Company’s exploration plan; (ii) coordinate any other land related task as may be identified from time to time by John Barton, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer; and (iii) perform any other services that a chief operating officer may perform. The Reinecke Agreement is for a term of one year and will pay Arrow an aggregate of $90,000 over the term. Arrow is also entitled to receive an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock to be earned as follows: (i) 50,000 shares upon execution of the Reinecke Agreement; (ii) 50,000 shares upon the six month anniversary of the commencement of the Reinecke Agreement; and (iii) 100,000 shares upon the one year anniversary of the commencement of the Reinecke Agreement.

 

On September 28, 2014, the Company engaged Thompson Solutions, LLC (“Thompson”) to review and process both the public domain gravity and aeromagnetic datasets that existed on our leased Utah Properties. The purpose of this review was to identify major structures and geologic trends of interest on the Utah Properties. Based on the results of this analysis, on November 21, 2014, the Company engaged Magee Geophysical Services LLC (“Magee”) to perform a comprehensive gravity survey on our Utah Properties. The gravity survey was conducted from November 22, 2014 through December 9, 2014 and cost the Company approximately $55,000. Pursuant to the survey, a total of 737 new gravity stations were identified on a nominal quarter mile grid and the data acquired was merged with re-processed public domain data including about 630 stations located in and around the main grid. Upon completion of Magee’s gravity survey, on December 8, 2014, the Company engaged Thompson to further process the data obtained by Magee and to provide custom processing and mapping of such data. On February 6, 2015, Thompson completed their interpretation of the gravity survey. The Company will pay to Thompson $15,500 for its services.

 

On February 2, 2015 the Company engaged PRISEM Geoscience Consulting LLC (“PRISEM”) to provide recommendations on a work plan for creating a geologic model of the Utah Properties. This structural analysis will include, but not be limited to, collecting well data from relevant wells in the area and construction of possibly 1 to 2 balanced cross sections through and/or near the prospective acreage. PRISEM will also make a seismic database search and provide recommendations for licensing of existing 2-D datasets. If seismic data is purchased PRISEM will recommend processors to reprocess the data using modern techniques relevant to complex structural environment as the Utah Properties.

 

The Company initiated these technical steps in line with our business plan of evaluating our properties step by step before proceeding to the next phase of extraction. The Company plans to co-ordinate its technical efforts towards selecting an initial potential drillsite that management believes may be capable of producing oil or natural gas in commercial quantities on the Utah Properties.

Our Properties

 

As described above, the Company holds oil and gas leases for property in Sevier and Beaver Counties, Utah. On April 10th 2014, we acquired the Leases pursuant to the Agreement. These three Leases cover 5,950.54 gross acres in Sevier and Beaver counties in southwest Utah. The two Sevier leases, UTU-89243 and UTU-89244, each have a term through 02/01/2023 (hereinafter, the “Sevier Prospect”). Our Beaver county lease, UTU-86466, has an expiration date of 02/01/2021 (hereinafter, the “Beaver Prospect” and together with the Sevier Prospect, the “Sevier and Beaver Oil Project”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement which governs the terms under which we can use the Utah Properties, we have a 100% Working Interest (WI) and an 80% Net Revenue Interest (NRI) in the Leases.

 

Oil and Gas Industry-Specific Disclosures

 

As described in greater detail above, the Company has only recently begun its oil and gas business operations. Accordingly, the disclosure required by Subpart 1200 of Regulation S-K (Section 229.1200 of this chapter) is not applicable to our Company as of the date hereof. The Company has obtained Leases in the Central Utah Thrust Belt in Beaver County and Sevier County, Utah consisting of 5,950.54 gross acres of undeveloped acreage.

 

Competition

 

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. Our competition is comprised of junior and senior oil and gas companies, including several oil and gas companies that are listed on national exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, independent producers and institutional and individual investors. We will compete with these parties to, among other things:

 

  acquire oil and gas properties, or leases for such properties, in the United States;
     
  rent or purchase equipment needed to extract gas and oil;
     
  hire, as consultants or as full time employees, persons with the technical know-how to explore oil and gas properties and to extract oil and gas from such properties;
     
  obtain equity and debt financing from investors; and
     
  acquire other materials necessary to operate on these properties.

 

As a development stage company that has only recently begun implementing our business plan, many of the oil and gas companies with which we will compete with have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquiring oil and gas interests of merit or on exploring or developing their oil and gas properties. This advantage could enable our competitors to acquire oil and gas properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may choose to finance their additional exploration and development. Such competition could adversely impact our ability to attain the financing necessary for us to acquire further oil and gas interests or explore and develop our current or future oil and gas properties.

 

Government Regulation

 

The Company has only recently begun implementing its business plan and has not yet begun the exploration of the Utah Properties. Once the Company commences exploration and exploitation activities on the Utah Properties or any other property, the Company will become subject to a wide range of laws and regulations. Virtually all aspects of the oil and gas industry are subject to a vast array of federal and state laws and regulations. Legislation affecting the oil and gas industry is under constant review for amendment or expansion, frequently increasing the regulatory burden. Also, numerous departments and agencies, both federal and state, are authorized by statute to issue rules and regulations binding on the oil and gas industry and its individual members, some of which carry substantial penalties for failure to comply. It may be expected that in the future, new laws and regulations will be adopted that will limit certain operations and/or increase the costs of such operations. These laws and regulations either presently require or in the future may require, among other things:

 

  acquiring various permits before drilling commences;
     
  enjoining some or all of the operations of facilities deemed not in compliance with permits;
     
  restricting the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with oil and gas and natural gas drilling, production and transportation activities;
     
  limiting or prohibiting drilling activities in certain locations lying within protected or otherwise sensitive areas; and
     
  requiring remedial measures to mitigate pollution from our operations.

 

3
 

 

All of our planned operations involving the exploration for and extraction of gas and oil will be subject to existing laws and regulations relating to exploration procedures, safety precautions, employee health and safety, air quality standards, pollution of stream and fresh water sources, odor, noise, dust, and other environmental protection controls adopted by federal, state and local governmental authorities as well as the right of adjoining property owners. We may be required to prepare and present to federal, state or local authorities data pertaining to the effect or impact that any proposed exploration for or extraction of oil and/or gas may have upon the environment. All requirements imposed by any such authorities may be costly, time consuming, and may delay commencement or continuation of exploration or extraction operations. In conducting our business plan, we may become subject to certain of the rules and regulations promulgated under each of the following:

 

  Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as amended;
     
  Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands of 1947, as amended;
     
  Oil and Gas Pollution Act of 1990, as amended;
     
  Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, as amended;
     
  Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended;
     
  Clean Air Act of 1963, as amended; and
     
  Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended.

 

Compliance with these laws can be costly; the regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases the cost of doing business in the industry and consequently affects profitability. Moreover, public interest in the protection of the environment has increased significantly in recent years, notwithstanding the widely recognized public demand for “energy independence.” No assurance can be given that compliance with these laws or with newly imposed or changed laws will not adversely affect the economic viability of any oil and gas properties we may acquire in the future.

 

Employees

 

As of March 31, 2015, we had one full time (1) employee.

 

How to Obtain our SEC Filings

 

We file annual, quarterly, and special reports, proxy statements, and other information with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). Reports, proxy statements and other information filed with the SEC can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities of the SEC at 100 F Street N.E., Washington, DC 20549. Such material may also be accessed electronically by means of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Risks Related to our Business

 

Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

 

The report of our independent auditors dated June 29, 2015 on our financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2015 included an explanatory paragraph indicating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors’ doubts are based on the fact that the Company has no revenues, has incurred recurring losses and recurring negative cash flow from operating activities, and has an accumulated deficit. Our ability to continue as a going concern will be determined by our ability to obtain additional funding in the short term to enable us to realize the commercialization of our planned business operations. From the period beginning October 2, 2013 and ending March 31, 2015, we have raised $1,352,500 from investors. However, we cannot provide any assurance or guarantee that we will be able to conduct other additional rounds of financing at all or on terms acceptable to us. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

We have no operating history on which to evaluate our potential and determine if we will be able to execute our business plan.

 

The current management of the Company only took over operations in October 2013. From October 2013 through the date hereof, the Company has procured the Leases, has hired various consultants and has taken additional steps to begin oil and gas operations. However, the Company has only recently begun its operations. Accordingly, it will be difficult for potential investors to evaluate our potential and determine if we will be able to execute our business plan. Investment in our securities should be considered in light of the risks and difficulties we will encounter as we attempt to penetrate the oil and gas industry.

 

Exploration activities on oil and gas properties may not be commercially successful, which could lead us to abandon our plans to develop the property and our investments in exploration.

 

Our long-term success depends on our ability to establish commercially recoverable quantities of oil and gas on our properties that can then be developed into commercially viable drilling operations. Oil and gas exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and is frequently non-productive. These risks include unusual or unexpected geologic formations, and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor. The success of oil and gas exploration is determined in part by the following factors:

 

  identification of potential reserves based on superficial analysis;
     
  availability of government-granted exploration permits;
     
  the quality of management and geological and technical expertise; and
     
  the capital available for exploration and development.

 

4
 

 

Substantial expenditures are required to establish proven and probable reserves through drilling and analysis, and to develop the drilling and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen. Whether a property will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, which include, without limitation, the particular attributes of the property, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; oil and gas prices, which fluctuate widely; and government regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection. We may invest significant capital and resources in exploration activities and abandon such investments if we are unable to identify commercially exploitable oil and gas reserves. The decision to abandon a project may reduce the future trading price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise financing. We cannot provide any assurance to investors that we will discover or acquire any oil and gas reserves in sufficient quantities on any properties to justify commercial operations. Further, we will not be able to recover the funds that we may spend on exploration if we are not able to establish commercially recoverable quantities of oil and gas.

 

There are many uncertainties that may effect our ability to implement our business plan.

 

We have only recently begun implementing our business plan and there are many uncertainties that may effect our ability to continue to successfully implement the business plan. Such uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our ability to:

 

  raise sufficient funds to purchase property and equipment necessary to implement our business plan;
     
  properly evaluate new properties for purchase;
     
  acquire properties or leases for properties;
     
  acquire such properties at a reasonable cost;
     
  obtain materials and equipment necessary to explore and exploit our properties;
     
  circumvent any failures of our equipment during the exploration/exploitation process;
     
  attract persons with the technical know-how to explore and exploit the properties;
     
  circumvent geological issues that may arise during our exploration and exploitation of a property;
     
  navigate any unusual weather or operating conditions and other force majeure events; and
     
  obtain and receive necessary government permits.

 

Each of these uncertainties may materially effect our ability to implement our business plan and could cause material harm to our Company.

 

In order to successfully implement our business plan, we will need a substantial amount of cash. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise the amount of cash necessary to begin and continue our operations nor is there any guarantee that we will be able to obtain such cash on terms that are commercially favorable to the Company.

 

The purchase of properties and property leases and the exploration and extraction of oil and gas, including all costs associated therewith, from such properties is very costly. In order to commence our operations and, once commenced, to continue such operations, we will need a substantial amount of capital. Such capital may not be available on reasonable terms or at all. We may need to raise additional funds through borrowings or public or private debt or equity financings and any future issuance of our equity or equity-backed securities may dilute then-current stockholders’ ownership percentages. If we are unable to obtain required additional capital, we may have to curtail our business plan, cut back on our plans, or even cease operations.

 

5
 

 

Additionally, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes, restricted stock, stock options and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.

 

Identifying prospects and drilling wells is speculative, often involving significant costs that may exceed our expectations and, further, may not result in any discoveries of future production or reserves in commercially exploitable quantities. Any material inaccuracies in future drilling costs, estimates or underlying assumptions will materially adversely affect our plan of operation and business objectives, thereby adversely affecting the value of our shares.

 

Seeking prospects, exploring for and developing oil and gas reserves involves a high degree of operational and financial risk, which precludes our ability to make any definitive estimates as to the time required and costs involved in reaching certain objectives. The actual costs of seeking prospects, drilling, completing and operating wells may exceed our budgeted costs and can increase significantly when drilling costs rise due to a tightening in the supply of various types of oil and gas field equipment and related services. Prospects may be unsuccessful for many reasons, including geological conditions, weather, cost overruns, equipment shortages and mechanical difficulties. Exploratory wells bear a much greater risk of loss than development wells. Moreover, the successful drilling of an oil and gas well does not necessarily result in a profit on investment. A variety of factors, both geological and market-related, can cause a well to become uneconomic or only marginally economic. Initial costs associated with identifying prospects and drilling wells require significant additional exploration and development, regulatory approval and commitments of resources prior to commercial development. If our actual costs are significantly more than any estimated costs, we may not be able to continue our plan of operation and/or business objectives and we would be forced to modify our plan of operation.

 

We have no proven reserves and the prospects that we may decide to pursue for exploration and development may not yield oil and gas in commercial quantities or quality, if at all, in which event we will incur significant losses.

 

At present, we have no proven reserves. Any future prospects may not prove to be commercially viable even if available seismic and geological information indicate the potential presence of oil and gas. As a result, any prospects that we may decide to acquire and develop may not yield oil and gas in commercial quantities or quality, or at all. Evaluating prospects will require substantial seismic data reprocessing and interpretation. Even when properly used and interpreted, 2-D and 3-D seismic data and visualization techniques are only tools used to assist geoscientists in identifying subsurface structures and hydrocarbon indicators and do not enable the interpreter to know whether hydrocarbons are, in fact, present in those structures. We therefore do not know if any of our prospects will contain oil and gas in sufficient quantities or quality to recover drilling and completion costs or to be economically viable. Even if oil and gas is found on our prospects in commercial quantities, construction costs of oil and gas pipelines or , and transportation costs may prevent such prospects from being economically viable.

 

Our unidentified prospects and drilling locations may be scheduled out over several years, making them susceptible to uncertainties that could materially affect the occurrence or timing of any drilling, thereby hindering our ability to generate cash flow from operations, if any.

 

Our ability to identify, drill and develop future drilling locations depends on a number of factors, including the availability of equipment and capital, seasonal conditions, regulatory approvals, oil and gas prices, costs and drilling results. The final determination on whether to drill any of these prospects will be dependent upon the factors described elsewhere in this Annual Report. Due to these uncertainties, we do not know if any presently unidentified prospect that we may identify in the future will be drilled within a reasonable timeframe, or at all, or, if we will be able to economically produce oil and gas in commercially exploitable quantities from these or any other potential drilling locations. As such, our actual drilling activities may be materially different from our expectations, which could adversely affect our plan of operation and future financial condition.

 

Even if we are able to engage in exploration on our property and establish that it contains oil or natural gas in commercially exploitable quantities, the potential profitability of oil and natural gas ventures depends upon factors beyond the control of our Company.

 

The potential profitability of oil and natural gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and natural gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social and economic environments. Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. In addition, adverse weather conditions can hinder drilling operations. These changes and events may materially affect our future financial performance. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and the combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital .

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring leases.

 

The oil and natural gas industry is intensely competitive, and we compete with other companies that have greater resources. Many of these companies not only explore for and produce oil and natural gas, but also carry on refining operations and market petroleum and other products on a regional, national or worldwide basis. These companies may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural gas properties and exploratory prospects or define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit. In addition, these companies may have a greater ability to continue exploration activities during periods of low oil and natural gas market prices. Our larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of present and future federal, state, local and other laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position. Our ability to acquire additional properties and to discover reserves in the future will be dependent upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. In addition, because we have fewer financial and human resources than many companies in our industry, we may be at a disadvantage in bidding for exploratory prospects and oil and natural gas properties.

 

We may be prevented from conducting our business if we cannot obtain or maintain necessary licenses.

 

Our operations require licenses, permits and in some cases renewals of licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. Our ability to obtain, sustain or renew such licenses and permits on acceptable terms is subject to changes in regulations and policies and to the discretion of the applicable governments, among other factors. Our inability to obtain, or the loss of or denial of extension of, any of these licenses or permits could hamper or prevent us from operating our business.

 

Exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations, which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of our operations.

 

In general, our exploration and production activities are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of a given operation. Specifically, we may be subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.

 

We are dependent upon our sole officer and director and the loss of his services could adversely affect our ability to operate.

 

Our operations are dependent upon our sole current officer and director, John Barton. We believe that our ability to effect our business plans depends on the continued service of Mr. Barton. We do not presently have key-man insurance on the life of Mr. Barton and the unexpected loss of the services of Mr. Barton could have a detrimental effect on us.

 

The Company’s management has little experience running a public company.

 

The Company’s management has little experience managing a public company. Such lack of experience may result in the Company experiencing difficulty in adequately operating and growing its business within the framework of a public company. This may increase the risk of our inadvertent violation of federal or state securities laws, which increases the risk of litigation or regulatory action, any of which can be expected to divert management time and company resources away from accomplishing our business objectives. Any such violation or diversion could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects.

Our future development and exploration operations require substantial capital, and we may be unable to obtain needed capital or financing on satisfactory terms, or at all, which would delay or even prevent us from successfully pursuing and fully developing our business plan and our ability to generate revenues in both the short and long term.

 

The oil and gas industry is capital intensive and we anticipate that we will need to raise significant amounts of capital to meet our funding requirements, in amounts that we have not yet determined. We expect our capital outlays and operating expenditures to increase substantially over at least the next several years as we start our operations. Identifying prospects, obtaining seismic data and commencing exploration and production are all very expensive and we expect that we will need to raise substantial capital, through future private or public equity offerings, strategic alliances or debt financing, before we achieve commercialization of any of our prospects. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

  the scope, rate of progress and cost of our exploration and production activities;
     
  oil and gas and natural gas prices;
     
  our ability to locate and acquire prospects;
     
  the cost and timing of governmental approvals and/or concessions; and
     
  the effects of competition by larger companies operating in the oil and gas industry.

 

We do not currently have any commitments for external funding and we do not expect to generate any significant revenue from production for several years, or at all. Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Even if we succeed in selling additional securities to raise funds, the sale of additional equity securities would dilute the ownership percentage of our existing shareholders and new investors may demand rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our existing holders of our common stock. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, the financing may involve covenants that restrict our business activities.

 

Our working capital needs are difficult to forecast and may vary significantly which could require us to seek additional financing that we may not be able to obtain on satisfactory terms, or at all. The failure or any significant delay in raising capital as needed may be expected to materially reduce or eliminate our opportunity for success.

 

At present, our working capital needs are extremely difficult to predict. This difficulty is due primarily to our lack of ability to estimate with any degree of accuracy the costs associated with the timing and costs related to our exploration and development efforts, the availability of personnel and equipment necessary for such efforts, fluctuations in the price of oil and gas, the costs and timing of regulatory approvals and the number of prospects we determine to pursue. We may therefore be subject to significant and rapid increases in our working capital needs that could require us to seek additional financing sources and there can be no assurance in our ability to secure additional financing at acceptable terms, if at all. Restrictions in any debt agreements that we may enter into may impair our ability to obtain other sources of financing.

 

The development schedule of any oil and gas projects that we may identify, including the availability and cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies, personnel and oil and gas field services, is subject to delays and cost overruns.

 

Historically, most oil and gas projects have experienced delays and capital cost increases and overruns due to, among other factors, the unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs and other essential equipment, supplies, personnel and oil and gas field services. The cost to develop prospects has not been fixed and remains dependent upon a number of factors, including the completion of detailed cost estimates and final engineering, contracting and procurement costs. Construction and operation schedules may not proceed as planned and may experience delays or cost overruns. Any delays may increase the costs of the projects, requiring additional capital, and such capital may not be available in a timely and cost-effective fashion.

 

Participants in the oil and gas industry are subject to complex laws that can affect the cost, manner or feasibility of doing business and could result in unanticipated costs and delays that could adversely affect our financial condition and the price of our shares.

 

Exploration and production activities in the oil and gas industry are subject to extensive local, state and federal regulations. We may be required to make large expenditures to comply with governmental regulations, particularly in respect of the following matters:

 

  licenses for drilling operations;
     
  royalty increases, including retroactive claims;
     
  drilling and development bonds;
     
  reports concerning operations;
     
  the spacing of wells;
     
  unitization of oil and gas accumulations;
     
  remediation or investigation activities for environmental purposes; and
     
  taxation.

 

Under these and other laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injuries, property damage and other types of damages. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations also may result in the suspension or termination of our operations and subject us to administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Moreover, these laws and regulations could change in ways that could substantially increase our costs. Any such liabilities, penalties, suspensions, terminations or regulatory changes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

8
 

 

 

Our future operations are subject to numerous environmental, health and safety regulations which may result in material liabilities and costs that we do not anticipate or that we may not be able to adequately fund; any inability to fund material liabilities and related costs could result in a discontinuation of our operations.

 

Our future operations will be, subject to various federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations governing, among other things, the emission and discharge of pollutants into the ground, air or water, the generation, storage, handling, use and transportation of regulated materials and the health and safety of our employees. We are required to obtain environmental permits from governmental authorities for certain of our operations, including drilling permits for our wells. There is a risk that we will not be in complete compliance with these permits and the environmental laws and regulations to which we are subject at all times. If we violate or fail to comply with these laws, regulations or permits, we could be fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators, including through the revocation of our permits or the suspension or termination of our operations. If we fail to obtain permits in a timely manner or at all (due to opposition from community or environmental interest groups, governmental delays, or any other reasons), such failure could impede our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our financial condition.

 

We could be held liable for all environmental, health and safety costs and liabilities arising out of our actions and omissions as well as those of potential third-party contractors. To the extent we do not address these costs and liabilities or if we are otherwise in breach of our lease requirements, our future leases could be suspended or terminated. We intend to hire third parties to perform the majority of the drilling and other services related to our operations. There is a risk that we may contract with third parties with unsatisfactory environmental, health and safety records or that our contractors may be unwilling or unable to cover any losses associated with their acts and omissions. Accordingly, we could be held liable for all costs and liabilities arising out of the acts or omissions of our contractors, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

We may be required to maintain bonding or insurance coverage for certain risks relating to our operations, including environmental risks. Even under such policies, we may not be insured against certain risks. Our insurance may not cover any or all-environmental claims that might arise from our operations or those of our third-party contractors. If a significant accident or other event occurs and is not fully covered by our insurance, or our third-party contractors have not agreed to bear responsibility, such accident or event could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our financial condition. In addition, we may not be able to obtain required bonding or insurance coverage at all or in time to meet our anticipated startup schedule for each well, and if we fail to obtain this bonding or coverage, such failure could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

In addition, we expect continued attention to climate change issues. Various countries and U.S. states and regions have agreed to regulate emissions of greenhouse gases, including methane (a primary component of natural gas) and carbon dioxide, a byproduct of oil and gas and natural gas combustion. The U.S. federal government, as well as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, are currently considering national greenhouse gas regulation. Each have proposed bills or rules which would require or result in greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Final laws or regulations could be adopted this or next year. The regulation of greenhouse gases in the areas in which we intend to operate could adversely impact our operations.

 

Environmental, health and safety laws are complex, change frequently and have tended to become increasingly stringent over time. Our costs of complying with current and future environmental, health and safety laws, and our liabilities arising from releases of, or exposure to, regulated substances may adversely affect our results of operations and our financial condition.

 

Current volatile market conditions and significant fluctuations in energy prices may continue indefinitely, negatively affecting our business prospects and viability.

 

The oil and gas markets are very volatile, and we cannot predict future oil and natural gas prices. Historically, oil and natural gas prices have been volatile and are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. Any substantial decline in the price of oil and natural gas will likely have a material adverse effect on our planned operations and financial condition.

 

Risks Related to our Common Stock

 

A sustained, active trading market for our common stock may not develop or be maintained.

 

As we are in our early stages, an investment in our Company will likely require a long-term commitment, with no certainty of return. Although our common stock is listed for quotation on the OTCQB market under the symbol of “PTRA”, we cannot predict whether an active market for our common stock will ever develop or, if an active market is developed, be sustained in the future. In the absence of an active trading market:

 

investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations;
     
we may be unable to raise additional capital;
     
market visibility for shares of our common stock may be limited; and
     
a lack of visibility for shares of our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.

 

In this event an active trading market is not established or, if established, not sustained, you may be unable to dispose of your common stock at desirable prices or at all. Moreover, there is a risk that our common stock could be delisted from the OTCQB, in which case it might be listed on the so called “Pink Sheets”, which is even more illiquid than the OTCQB.

Our Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and sole director, John Barton, controls a significant percentage of our outstanding common stock and his interests may conflict with those of our stockholders.

 

Our Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and sole director, John Barton, owns 50.44% of our outstanding common stock. As such, he may be able to exert substantial influence over most matters requiring approval by stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock or prevent stockholders from realizing a premium over the market price for their shares.

 

Your percentage ownership of our common stock will be diluted by future share issuances.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001. At March 31, 2015, we had 65,792,306 shares of common stock issued and -0- shares of Preferred Stock issued. We may issue additional shares of common stock in connection with any future acquisitions of operating businesses or assets or to raise additional funding for our operations. To the extent that additional shares of common stock are issued, our shareholders would experience dilution of their respective ownership interests in the Company. The issuance of additional shares of common stock may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

 

To the extent we issue new shares to fund acquisitions, to raise capital and/or to compensate employees and other persons, your percentage ownership of our shares will be further diluted.

 

We do not intend to pay cash dividends in the future.

 

We currently do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock at any time in the near future. We may never pay cash dividends or distributions on our common stock. Whether we pay cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and any other factors that the board of directors decides is relevant.

 

Our common stock is illiquid and should a market for our securities develop the price of our securities may be volatile.

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB and the trading market for our securities may likely remain illiquid. This means that as an investor you will likely have a difficult time selling our common stock at market. Furthermore, because of the small amount of shares that will represent the public float, the market price of our common stock may experience significant volatility. Other factors that may contribute to volatility should a market for our common stock develop are, our quarterly results, litigation, changes in general conditions in the economy and general market conditions could cause the market price of the common stock to fluctuate substantially. In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the trading prices of equity securities of many companies. Frequently, these price and volume fluctuations have been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies.

 

Broker-Dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our Common Stock because our Common Stock is considered a “Penny Stock” and are subject to the applicable Penny Stock rules.

 

Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain brokers-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a “penny stock.” The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our common stock is covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these 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 agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules may discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

 

10
 

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

 

If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.

 

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, which is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

As a public company, we have significant additional requirements for enhanced financial reporting and internal controls. We will be required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm addressing these assessments. The process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company.

 

We cannot assure you that we will not, in the future, identify areas requiring improvement in our internal control over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take to remediate any areas in need of improvement will be successful or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future as we continue our growth. If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.

 

The lack of experience of our officer of a publicly-traded company may hinder our ability to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

 

It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance staff or consultants in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act’s internal controls requirements, we may not be able to obtain the independent auditor certifications that Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies to obtain.

Results of Operations

 

GENERAL

 

We are a development stage company that plans to identify, evaluate and acquire oil and gas exploration and development opportunities primarily in the United States. For a description of our business and our business model, see Item 1 above.

 

CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

The Company plans to concentrate its development efforts on early stage onshore oil and gas opportunities in North America for potential access to oil and unconventional gas reserves. We believe such opportunities exist in the United States with the recent improvements in horizontal drilling and fracturing methods. We have only recently begun our planned business operations. To date our operations have primarily been devoted to forming the entity and developing our business plan.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue our operation.

 

We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.

 

Year Ended March 31, 2015 Compared to the Year Ended March 31, 2014.

 

Our net loss for the year ended March 31, 2015 was $1,003,628 compared to a net loss of $291,400 during the year ended March 31, 2014. During the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we did not generate any revenue. This change in net loss was primarily the result of the following:

 

Lease property and exploration costs

 

During the year ended March 31, 2015, we incurred lease property and exploration costs of $186,200 an increase of $135,255 compared to the prior year amount of $50,945, consisting of consulting costs of $177,272 and $42,017 for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively and each year annual rental costs of $8,928 based on a rental price of $1.50 per acre.

 

13
 

 

General and administrative costs

 

During the year ended March 31, 2015, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $175,726 compared to $91,891 incurred during the year ended March 31, 2014. The change in general and administrative expense incurred during the year ended March 31, 2015 was primarily related to compensation to our Chief Executive Officer of $120,000, corporate overhead, and travel costs. The general and administrative expense incurred during the year ended March 31, 2014 was primarily related to compensation to our Chief Executive Officer of $60,000, corporate overhead and travel costs.

 

Professional Fees

 

During the year ended March 31, 2015, we incurred professional fees of $187,699 relating to our equity financings, the acquisition of the Leases from Ardmore and public company compliance. The legal and accounting fees associated with these activities amounted to $70,437 and $29,256, respectively, and the marketing and investor relations fees associated with these activities amounted to $88,006. During the year ended March 31, 2014, we incurred professional fees of $111,064 relating to our equity financings, the acquisition of the Leases from Ardmore and public company compliance. The legal and accounting fees associated with these activities amounted to $62,033 and $20,988, respectively, and the marketing and investor relations fees associated with these activities amounted to $28,043.

Weighted average number of shares

 

The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 65,761,098 and 58,142,630 for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The weighted average number of shares is an average calculation incorporating changes to the shares outstanding within the period reported.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Year Ended March 31, 2015 Compared with Year Ended March 31, 2014

 

As of March 31, 2015, we had no cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9,037.

 

We have experienced losses of $1,003,628 and $291,400 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and have an accumulated deficit of $1,367,260 at March 31, 2015. In addition, we have not completed our efforts to establish a stable recurring source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and expect to continue to generate losses for the foreseeable future. There is no assurances that we will be able to obtain an adequate level of financing needed for our near term requirements or the long-term development and exploration of our leases. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern”.

 

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements of our common stock, receiving aggregate net proceeds totaling $967,500 from the period beginning October 1, 2013 through March 31, 2015, including the current fiscal year securities purchase agreements described in more details below.

 

Securities Purchase Agreements

 

The Company entered into several securities purchase agreements with a single investor pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act whereby the Company sold shares of its common stock to the investor. A list of the securities purchase agreements is below:

 

On March 23, 2015, the Company entered into a private placement for 115,942 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $80,000.

 

14
 

 

On January 29, 2015, the Company sold a total of 65,789 shares of common stock to the investor for gross proceeds of $37,500.

 

On January 9, 2015, the Company sold a total of 80,645 shares of common stock to the investor for gross proceeds of $50,000.

 

On November 17, 2014, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with the investor pursuant to which the Company sold 80,645 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $50,000. On December 8, 2014, the Company received $37,500 of the consideration for the shares, however, the remaining $12,500 was received on January 8, 2015, The Company issued the shares upon final payment.

 

On October 24, 2014, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with the investor pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 147,059 shares of the Company’s common stock for gross proceeds of $50,000.

 

On August 22, 2014, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with the investor pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 483,871 shares of the Company’s common stock for gross proceeds of $150,000.

 

On May 7, 2014 and March 6, 2014, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with the investor pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 200,000 and 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, for gross proceeds of $150,000 and $75,000 respectively. Of the $75,000 gross proceeds received for the issuance of 100,000 shares, $52,500 was received during the year ended March 31, 2014.

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

We have generated negative cash flows from operating activities. For the year ended March 31, 2015, net cash flows used in operating activities was $446,265 consisting of a net loss of $1,003,625, offset by non-cash stock compensation of $454,000 and depreciation and amortization of $9,762, an increase of $84,147 in accounts payables and accrued liabilities, an increase of $10,000 for accrued officer compensation, and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $1,875. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2015 we had a cash overdraft of $435. For the year ended March 31, 2014, net cash flows used in operating activities was $187,060 consisting of a net loss of $291,400, an increase in accounts payable of $31,976 and $16,953 of related party loans paid directly to vendors on the Company’s behalf. These differences were primarily the result of the operations of the Company increasing upon the acquisition of the leases and business formation as an Oil and Gas company.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

We used cash from investing activities in the year ended March 31, 2015 for the lease installment of $100,000 and the cost of certain computer equipment amounting to $2,772. We have used cash from investing activities in the year ended March 31, 2014 for the acquisition of the Leases amounting to $200,000 and for the development of certain fixed assets and website costs amounting to $31,403.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

We have financed our operations primarily from either cash advances or the issuance of equity instruments. We generated cash from financing activities of $540,000 and $427,500 in the year ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, from the issuance of common stock.

 

PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING

 

We expect that our working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business.

 

Our existing working capital, further advances and debt instruments, and anticipated cash flow are not adequate to fund our operations over the next twelve months and the Company is dependent upon additional equity raises. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of our private placement of equity. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) development and exploration expenses through independent consultants; and (ii) financing related costs. We believe that we will need $800,000 in additional capital to meet long-term operating requirements for the next twelve months. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current stockholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities that could significantly and materially restrict our business operations. We will have to raise additional funds in the next twelve months in order to sustain and expand our operations. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. We have and will continue to seek to obtain short-term loans from our director, although no future arrangement for additional loans has been made. We do not have any agreements with our director concerning these loans. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

GOING CONCERN

 

The independent auditors’ report accompanying our March 31, 2015 financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

Inflation

 

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our Company’s results of operations.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.

 

We do not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our net results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of PetroTerra Corp.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of PetroTerra Corp. as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2015. PetroTerra Corp.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PetroTerra Corp. as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has no revenues as of March 31, 2015, has incurred recurring losses and recurring negative cash flow from operating activities, and has an accumulated deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PETROTERRA CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

PetroTerra Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, on July 25, 2008. The Company is in the development stage as defined under Accounting Codification Standard or ACS, Development Stage Entities (“ASC-915”) and plans to identify, evaluate and acquire oil and gas exploration and development opportunities primarily within the United States. The Company has not generated any revenue to date and consequently its operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from inception on July 25, 2008 through March 31, 2015, the Company has accumulated losses of $1,367,260.

 

2. GOING CONCERN

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1,367,260 as of March 31, 2015 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities, which have arisen from normal business operations as they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand loans from our director and/or private placements of common stock.

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.

 

These statements reflect all adjustments, including of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.

 

Development Stage Activities

 

The Company is a development stage enterprise. All losses accumulated since the inception of the Company have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been made and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Stock Split

 

On December 18, 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding and authorized shares of common stock at a ratio of 1 for 2 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

 

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s authorized shares of common stock were decreased from 200,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares and its authorized shares of preferred stock were decreased from 20,000,000 to 10,000,000 shares. Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, which occurred on December 20, 2013, the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock was decreased from 126,698,000 to 63,349,000 shares, all with a par value of $0.001. The Company has no outstanding shares of preferred stock. Accordingly, all share and per share information has been restated to retroactively show the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASC-718, “Stock Compensation”. ASC-718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award. Under ASC-718, the Company must determine the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments, the amortization method for compensation cost and the transition method to be used at date of adoption.

 

Income Taxes

 

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

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC-260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company has no potential dilutive instruments and accordingly basic loss and diluted loss per share are equal.

 

Fiscal Periods

 

The Company’s fiscal year end is March 31.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB amended the ASC and created Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017and must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. We have not yet determined the effects of this new guidance on our financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued a new U.S. GAAP accounting standard that provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The new accounting standard requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. The new accounting standard is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with ACS - 605, “Revenue recognition”, ASC-605 requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

 

Oil and Gas

 

The Company complies with ASC 932, “Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas”. The Company has capitalized exploratory well costs, and has determined that there are no suspended well costs that should be impaired. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairments when events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred.

 

Website

 

The Company capitalizes the costs associated with the development of the Company’s website pursuant to ASC - 350, “Goodwill and Other”. Other costs related to the maintenance of the website are expensed as incurred. Amortization is provided over the estimated useful lives of three years using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company commenced amortization upon completion of the Company’s fully operational website. Amortization expense for the year ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 totaled $8,768 and $2,734 respectively.

 

24
 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes at rates based on the following estimated useful lives:

 

Classification   Useful Life
Computer equipment   3 Years
Website design   3 Years
Patents and trademarks   15 Years

 

Depreciation expense for the year ended Mar ch 31, 2015 and 2014 totaled $994 and $177, respectively.

 

Equipment

 

Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed for financial reporting purposes utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related asset.

 

Advertising

 

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expenses incurred. The Company incurred $0 in advertising costs during the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

4. ACQUISITION OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

 

On November 18, 2013, the Company entered into an assignment of lease (the “Agreement”) whereby Ardmore Investments Inc. (“Ardmore”) assigned to the Company its rights under a certain purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated August 8, 2013, between Ardmore and Pioneer Oil and Gas (“Pioneer”) involving the sale of 5,905.54 acres of oil and gas leases located in the Central Utah Thrust Belt in Beaver County and Sevier County, Utah and currently owned by Pioneer (the “Leases”). Per the terms of the Agreement, we issued to Ardmore 250,000 shares of our common stock on November 18, 2013, and, in order to complete the assignment contemplated by the Agreement, we will issue to Ardmore an additional 250,000 shares of our common stock upon the transfer to us of ownership in the Leases which must occur on or before April 12, 2014. Furthermore, on December 12, 2013 and February 12, 2014, the Company made two installment payments of $100,000 each to Pioneer with an additional $100,000 installment payment required on April 12, 2014. Upon completion of the final installment the leases were conveyed to the Company.

 

Due to the lack of an active market of the Company’s common stock, the fair value of the common stock transferred was determined based on the price at which the Company’s shares were being sold in a private placement active during the time period.

 

5. COMMON STOCK

 

The Company’s authorized capital consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, both with a par value of $0.001 per share.

 

This gives effect to the Company 32 for 1 forward stock split that was effected on January 3, 2012 and the Company’s subsequent Reverse Stock Split. All share and per share information has been restated in this Report to retroactively show the effect of the two stock splits.

In exchange for the settlement of the outstanding debt, the Company issued Mr. Barton 10,000,000 shares of common stock.

6. INCOME TAXES

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,367,260 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2034. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.

 

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse

 

27
 

 

A reconciliation of tax expense computed at the statutory federal tax rate income (loss) from operations before income taxes to the actual income tax expense is as follows:

 

    2015     2014  
Tax provision (benefits) computed at the statutory rate   $ (371,900 )   $ (108,000 )
Nondeductible expense     (1,100 )     (700 )
      (370,800 )     (107,300 )
Increase in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets     370,800       107,300  
Income tax expense benefit   $     $  

 

Deferred income taxes include the net tax effects of net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards and the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

 

    2015     2014  
Stock based compensation   $ -     $ 13,900  
Net operating loss carryover     491,000       120,200  
                 
Total deferred tax assets     491,000       134,100  
Valuation allowance     (491,000 )     (134,100 )
Net deferred tax assets   $     $  

 

The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net deferred tax assets; because in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that these tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company’s NOL and tax credit carryovers may be significantly limited under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). NOL and tax credit carryovers are limited under Section 382 when there is a significant “ownership change” as defined in the IRC. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 and in prior years, the Company may have experienced such ownership changes, which could impose such limitations.

 

The limitation imposed by the IRC would place an annual limitation on the amount of NOL and tax credit carryovers that can be utilized. When the Company completes the necessary studies, the amount of NOL carryovers available may be reduced significantly. However, since the valuation allowance fully reserves for all available carryovers, the effect of the reduction would be offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance.

 

The company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and the State of Colorado.

 

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company has received advances from certain of its officers and other related parties to meet short-term working capital needs. These advances may not have formal repayment terms or arrangements. As of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, the total amount loaned to the Company by a director was $10,118 and $10,118, respectively. The loan is non-interest bearing, due upon demand and unsecured.

 

On October 2, 2013, the Company settled an outstanding loan with a principal amount of $51,525 by exchanging 10,000,000 shares of common stock for conversion of outstanding debt of $20,000 due to the Company’s chief executive officer and the remaining $31,525 of outstanding debt due to the previous chief executive officer was extinguished to Additional paid-in capital.

 

28
 

 

The Company has an employment agreement with the Company President whereby the Company provides for compensation of $10,000 per month. A total salary of $120,000 expensed during the year ended March 31, 2015. For the period from October 2, 2013 through March 31, 2014, the Company has paid its chief executive officer $60,000. The total balance due to the President for accrued salaries at March 31, 2015 and 2014, was $25,000 and $15,000, respectively.

ITEM 9. DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

 

We did not have any disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures with our present accounting firm during the reporting period.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, consisting of our sole officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Rule 13a-15(e)) for the year ended March 31, 2015. Management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our management has reassessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and based upon that evaluation, our sole officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2015 because of the items set forth below:

 

  1) Lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;
     
  2) The Company lacks segregation of duties as our sole director is also our sole officer.
     
  3) Our Chief Executive Officer does not have significant financial experience resulting in the Company’s use of an outside consultant to assist in financial expertise.

 

We do not believe the material weaknesses described above caused any meaningful or significant misreporting of our financial condition and results of operations for the year ended March 31, 2015. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

 

Management Plan to Remediate Material Weaknesses

 

Management is pursuing the implementation of corrective measures to address the material weaknesses described above. In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:

 

We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. We plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our Board of Directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.

 

We believe the remediation measures described above will remediate the material weaknesses we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to diligently and vigorously review our financial reporting controls and procedures. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures described above.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our sole officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the our management and directors; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2015.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

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 SEC that permit the Company to provide only the management’s report in this Quarterly Report.
