Business.
Company Overview
International Development Corp. (“IDC”) was formed on October 22, 2004, as a Nevada corporation. On December 9, 2004, IDC merged with Ozolutions Inc., a Delaware Corporation, which was formed on January 10, 1996, as Unipak Process, Inc., with IDC as the surviving corporation. On April 13, 2006, IDC changed its name to Global Wataire Inc. On February 5, 2008, we changed our name to Global Earth Energy, Inc.
Previous Businesses
Over the years, and prior to our entry into the oil and gas business described below, we have been engaged in various businesses, none of which are relevant to our current business plan which is to acquire and develop oil and gas properties in South Texas and elsewhere. Our previous businesses, some of which are summarized below, and are discussed in our previous filings with the SEC, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. The previous business included, attempts to build and operate green alternative energy technologies to aid the world’s energy crisis and help relieve the green house effect. To achieve that objective, we intended to operate a one million gallon per year biodiesel pilot plant. In addition to the production of biodiesel, we hoped to pursue a strategy of expanding into the parallel solar and wind turbine energy markets. Our plan was to develop sustainable alternative energy sources that are situated close to the energy end users and tailored to their needs. We also sought entry into the coal business, but all of those plans were abandoned due to lack of financing.
One of our previous business, conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, Freshwater Technologies, Inc., now known as Knightsbridge Corp., was international marketing and distribution of water purification systems using ultraviolet, ozone and water activator technology. The markets we primarily targeted were located in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru, and Panama. Some of our other previous businesses are described below.
Ozone Technology. On June 21, 2000, we purchased the exclusive marketing rights to distribute the products of Hankin Ozone Systems, Ltd. in Canada, the Caribbean, and Mexico from 1421209 Ontario Limited.
3
The purchase price was $1,017,217 and the issuance of 8,000,000 shares of our common stock. We had an agreement to repurchase 6,000,000 of the 8,000,000 shares for $81,699, which we decided to cancel in August 2004. In April 2002, the agreement with 1421209 Ontario Limited was cancelled and the obligation to pay $1,017,217 was likewise cancelled. We wrote-off the net marketing rights of $762,743 and the outstanding obligation of $1,017,217, and recorded an extraordinary gain from the cancellation of the agreement of $237,257. We paid $50,000 directly to Hankin for the same marketing rights which we recorded as an expense during the year ended August 31, 2002. In September 2004, Hankin was placed into bankruptcy, and the deposit of $22,292 for certain units was written off as of August 31, 2004.
Water-Activated Technology. In August 2001, we acquired non-exclusive distribution rights to an activated water system from ELCE International Inc. for Mexico and the Caribbean markets including Panama, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Peru. No fees were paid for these rights. In September 2003, we approved the issuance of 250,000 shares of our common stock to the president of ELCE and the cancellation of an option to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share in order to maintain the existing relationship in Canada. The issuance of the common stock resulted in a charge against earnings of $15,000 in 2004.
Ultraviolet Products. In order to provide viable technology and pricing options to residential and commercial customers for drinking water solutions, we entered into an agreement with R-Can Environmental in June 2005, with the intention of distributing ultraviolet water treatment systems and water filters in selected markets in Latin America and the United States. We terminated a prior agreement with another supplier. On January 21, 2005, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Freshwater Technologies, Inc., and transferred our water activation and purification-related assets and business to it. On January 11, 2006, we executed and closed an Asset Sale Agreement with Max Weissengruber, our then president and chief operations officer and a director, and D. Brian Robertson, our then chief financial officer, with respect to the purchase of certain assets of Freshwater Technologies. Although the agreement was executed and closed on January 11, 2006, it was effective as of October 1, 2005. Included in the assets was the name “Freshwater Technologies.” The purchase price for the assets was $60,210.33 paid in the form of the forgiveness of debt for salary owed by International Development Corp. and Freshwater Technologies, Inc. for $32,482.51 to Mr. Weissengruber, and $27,727.82 to Mr. Robertson.
As additional consideration, Messrs. Weissengruber and Robertson agreed to the termination of their employment agreements with International Development Corp and a general release of all claims they may have had against either International Development Corp. or Freshwater Technologies, Inc. Moreover, certain other liabilities of Freshwater Technologies, Inc. were either assumed or forgiven by Messrs. Weissengruber and Robertson and Robert Glassen, one of our directors, for $10,918.54. The net effect of the transaction was that International Development and Freshwater were relieved of liabilities, which exceeded assets in the amount of $134,532.17, and that Freshwater Technologies, Inc. is now debt free. We changed the name of Freshwater Technologies, Inc. to Atlantic Seaboard Company, Inc. on May 31, 2006.
Terminated Material Agreements
Transaction with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd. On April 24, 2007, we entered into an Investment Agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd. (the “Investor”). Pursuant to this Agreement, the Investor shall commit to purchase up to $10,000,000 of our common stock over the course of up to thirty-six (36) months.

Global Earth Energy: Current Profile
At present, we do not own any oil and gas properties, nor do we have any production from oil and gas properties and do not have any oil and gas reserves. However, with a view toward implementing our new business strategy to enter into the oil and gas business, on June 14, 2012, as amended on December 20, 2013, Global Earth Energy executed a Joint Venture Agreement with Western Energy Group to develop the Smith-Needham prospect located in Gonzales County, Texas. Western Energy Group is engaged in the onshore exploration and development of oil and natural gas. With over 60 years of combined experience of the key team members, Western Energy Group believes it is well positioned to identify, operate, enhance and prudently acquire properties that have current production and strong recompletion/workover opportunities. We will not be able to implement our new business strategy or to take advantage of the opportunity afforded by Western Energy Group, unless and until we obtain adequate financing.
The Smith and Needham leases are located in the Austin-Chalk trend of Gonzales County, Texas. The area is in one of the most active oil shale trends of the decade known as the Eagle Ford Shale. The following is a discussion of the properties we hope to acquire, if we can obtain the necessary funding. In order to acquire the below described properties through the Western Energy Group Joint Venture Agreement, we have agreed to pay the sum of $5,625,000, on or before January 25, 2013, for which we will acquire a seventy-five percent Working Interest (75% WI) in the Smith-Needham prospect leasehold. The payments will be as follows:
·
The sum of $150,000 on or before January 4, 2013, representing the leasehold acquisition plus our proportionate share of the turn-key drilling and workover costs as identified in the Eagle Ford-Austin Chalk Horizontal Drilling Program;
·
The sum of $1,000,000 on or before January 11, 2013;
·
The sum of $2,000,000 on or before January 18, 2013; and
·
The sum of $2,475,000 on or before January 25, 2013.
The oil and gas leases are subject to a royalty burden as stated in the leases referenced in Exhibit "A" attached to the Joint Venture Agreement. Upon the payment of the sum of $5,625,000 on or before January 25, 2013, we will be provided with an Assignment and Bill of Sale evidencing our interest in the leasehold, in the form as attached in Exhibit "A" to the Joint Venture Agreement. Should Global Earth Energy not fulfill the funding requirements stated above, Western Energy Group can terminate the Joint Venture Agreement and our Working Interest in the leasehold will be reduced to the proportionate interest based on the funds paid or Western Energy Group, at its discretion, may extend the Joint Venture Agreement in writing.
In connection with the Joint Venture Agreement, we executed a Compensation Agreement with Alex Barta dated May 23, 2012, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to this report, which provides:
·
Alex Barta is retained for a period of six months beginning June 4, 2012, and ending December 4, 2012, who will be paid $5,000 per month, contingent upon our establishing a partnership with an oil and gas operator introduced by to us by Mr. Barta.
·
In addition, Mr. Barta will retain ten percent of all of the Working Interests acquired as a result of all transactions brought into us by Mr. Barta for a period of 18 months from the time we acquire our initial working interest in the Smith Needham Lease from Western Energy Group.
·
In addition, at the end of the contract, Mr. Barta will receive additional compensation in the amount of $60,000 to paid in shares of our common stock at the current price per shares at that time.

Wells and Leases: Smith and Needham Leases
There are a total of approximately 680 acres of leasehold interest with multiple drilling locations identified and two active oil wells located on 160 acres of the Smith-Needham prospect. Available interest is up to 75% working interest in the development acreage and the producing 160 acre Smith lease in the Smith-Needham prospect. We propose to first do a workover of the Smith No. 2 well whereby we hope to increase production from the current 10-15 barrels per day to up to 40 barrels per day. We plan on drilling two new 6,500 foot horizontal Eagle Ford oil wells.
The property features:
·
Proven developed producing and behind pipe reserves (PDP, PDNP) in the Austin Chalk and Buda Formations;
·
Multiple drilling locations identified in the Austin Chalk and Eagle Ford trends for future development with up to 250,000 barrels of oil recovery per well;
·
Multiple pay targets and well diversity will provide us with enhanced risk management; and
·
Estimated production after our proposed drilling program of up to 850 barrels of oil per day with estimated prospect reserves exceeding 1,000,000 barrels of oil.
In the early 1980s, Mitchell Energy, a Texas based company, began experimenting with hydraulic fracturing in a formation found in North Texas called the Barnett Shale. Like many other shale formations throughout the country, the Barnett was previously thought to be non-commercial due to the low permeability of the reservoir. Companies that had attempted earlier completions in these shale formations were ultimately disappointed by short lived production as the formations were simply too “tight” to allow for efficient reservoir drainage. Mitchell worked diligently to perfect a combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing that would ultimately unlock the secrets of the shale. By the late 1990s, Mitchell’s years of persistence paid off.
Once the economic viability of the Barnett Shale was established, the industry started to take a hard look at other shale formations encountered nationwide while drilling and producing conventional reservoirs. One such company was Houston, Texas based Petrohawk. The STS No. 241-1H, drilled in 2008 in La Salle County, Texas, was the discovery well for the Eagle Ford Shale, located in over 24 counties and stretching over 400 miles from deep south Texas into the northeastern part of the state; the discovery of the Eagle Ford is changing the industry again. Western Energy Group and Global Earth Energy have teamed up to pursue and develop the Eagle Ford along the oil window in Gonzales County, Texas.
Smith-Needham Leases
There are currently two wells producing on 160 acres of the Smith Lease tracts. The Smith #1 well was put back into production in August 2011 with a small work over and acidizing stimulation. The well is producing from the Austin Chalk formation making approximately 5-10 barrels of oil per day. Total lease production as of November 1, 2011, was approximately 15 barrels of oil per day. The Smith #2 well is producing from the Buda formation making approximately 5 barrels of oil per day. A work over is being planned to recomplete the well to the Austin Chalk and conduct a small fracture stimulation on the formation. Based on a hyperbolic decline and additional behind pipe reserves, there is an estimated 61,000 barrels of oil remaining to be recovered from the existing wellbores.
Austin Chalk Prospect
The second prospect well to be drilled will be on the Needham Lease. In the early 1980’s a vertical Austin Chalk well was completed on the lease and had an initial production rate of 392 barrels of oil per day. The well produced in excess of 86,000 barrels before being plugged and abandoned. Another vertical well known as the Reese –A-#1 drilled in the same contour line had an initial production of nearly 400 bopd and produced 83,000 barrels of oil. Our plan is to drill a new, short radius horizontal well between the two previous high volume wells, completed in the Austin Chalk. Utilizing hydraulic fracture stimulation. Drilling a horizontal leg in this once highly productive area should pick up additional fracture sets not encountered during earlier operations on the lease. The image below (on right) illustrates the ability of a horizontal well to more effectively drain a reservoir compared to a conventional vertical well.
7
We anticipate there is still significant oil in place due to low porosity matrix of the Austin Chalk. Other formations that are productive in the area and will be evaluated are the Buda, Edwards and Navarro. There is sufficient acreage offsetting wells to be drilled should prospect evaluation warrant further operations. The estimated initial production from the Needham #4 is 400 barrels of oil per day. Utilizing a 75% decline as shown on the Reese #1 well the estimated overall recovery for the new drill is nearly 200,000 barrels of oil.
Smith #3H Eagle Ford/Buda
Global Earth Energy will have leasehold interests and production in the immediate proximity of some of the major players, most notably Forest Oil Company. The Forest Oil Corp. wells are reported to have an average IP of more than 700 barrels of oil per day with laterals of nearly 4,000’ and multi-stage fracs. Two main leases comprise the majority of the prospect area. The 480 acre Smith Lease has two wells that are currently producing, one from the Austin Chalk and another from the deeper Buda formation. Plans for the Smith Lease are to drill a short radius horizontal well to produce from the Eagle Ford Shale formation as found at 6,060’- 6,130’ in the Smith #1 well.
The estimated production from the Smith #3 is 400 barrels of oil per day with estimated overall recovery of nearly 200,000 barrels of oil. Should it be determined that the Eagle Ford formation is not commercially productive, the Buda formation will be tested for commercial production. The Buda formation is highly productive in the Smith #2 well. A short horizontal drain hole in the Buda formation has the potential to yield as much as 50,000 barrels of oil. Other formations that are productive in the area and will be evaluated are the Austin Chalk, Georgetown and Navarro.
Global Earth Energy: Recent Data
There are many factors that make the Eagle Ford play so attractive. A vast portion of the play is “liquids (oil) rich “separating it from other shales, which produce mostly “dry” natural gas. Combining the “oily” characteristic of a large portion on the shale with a brittle nature that is highly receptive to fracturing and it is no wonder that majors and independents alike are scrambling to establish their foothold in the play. Companies such as Chesapeake, EOG, Hillcorp Resources, Marathon Oil, Pioneer Natural Resources, Forest Oil, and Conoco Phillips are highly active in the play. It is well known within the industry that once a field is discovered only 20-30% of the original oil in place can be recovered conventionally. The benefits of technological advances in drilling and fracturing wells are not just being experienced in shale plays. Many forward thinking professionals within the industry are examining conventional formations and applying what was learned in recent years to maximize reservoir drainage and well performance. Formations that were once drilled only vertically are now being drilled horizontally with exponential increases in initial production and overall recovery rates.
Another formation seeing a boom in production and drilling activity is the Austin Chalk Formation. The Austin Chalk sits directly above the Eagle Ford Shale, which is said to be the source rock for the Chalk. The Chalk is very productive in parts of Gonzales County, Texas with good porosity and natural fracturing, providing a higher level of permeability than found in other areas in the Chalk Trend. Drilled mainly in the 1980’s, many Chalk wells were completed vertically and had high initial production and ultimate recovery rates. Many of the wells in the county were drilled vertically therefore only draining near wellbore fractures. There are numerous opportunities to redrill the reservoirs with lateral drain holes to access multiple fractures in one wellbore, allowing for significantly higher production and recovery rates. This same model was utilized successfully in other areas where the Chalk trend is present, including the prolific Giddings and Pearsall Fields.
Geology
The Austin Chalk formation is comprised of chalk and marl, which are porous marine limestones of the Cretaceous time period, found in the Gulf Coast region of the U.S. Between 89 to 95 million years old, the formation stretches over three states, from deep south Texas into Mississippi. Over 400 miles long, 31 miles wide, and with a thickness of between 55 and 590 feet; the Chalk has accounted for some of the largest, most productive oil and gas fields in Texas and Louisiana, including the Pearsall, Giddings, Brookeland and Master’s Creek fields. Discovered initially in the 1920’s in the Pearsall Field in Frio County, Texas; the Austin Chalk accounts for roughly 50% of the horizontal wells ever drilled.
8
Underlying and sourcing the Austin Chalk is the recently discovered Eagle Ford Shale. Discovered in 2008 in La Salle County, Texas; the Eagle Ford is the hottest shale play domestically with over 4183 wells completed or permitted as of December 2011. The Eagle Ford is a Cretaceous age rock, between 89 to 95 million years old. What makes the formation so attractive is that it has a significantly higher carbonate content and lower clay content than traditional shales. This makes it more receptive to fracturing, which drives the ability of a formation to produce oil and gas in highly commercial quantities. The trend is over 50 miles wide and 400 miles long, stretching from far South Texas into East Texas. Not only does the Eagle Ford source the Austin Chalk but it is also the source rock for the prolific East Texas Oil Field. Regionally, the formation is present in the Northwestern “Oil Window” of the play, which dips down towards the Gulf of Mexico. The Eagle Ford Shale has a significantly higher “liquids rich” portion of the play than many other shales, providing stronger economics than “dry gas” shales.
Marketing and Delivery Commitments
Once we acquire oil and gas properties, we expect that our natural gas production will generally be sold on a month-to-month basis in the spot market, priced in reference to published indices, and our oil production would be generally sold under short-term contracts at prices based upon refinery postings or NYMEX WTI monthly averages and would typically be sold at the wellhead. Once we acquire oil and gas properties, our natural gas liquids production would typically be sold under term agreements at prices based on postings at large fractionation facilities. Once we acquire oil and gas properties, we believe that the loss of one or more current oil, natural gas, or natural gas liquids purchasers would not have a material adverse effect on our ability to sell our production, once we acquire our proposed properties, because any individual purchaser could be readily replaced by another purchaser, absent a broad market disruption. Until we acquire properties and productions, we will have no delivery commitments.
Competition
Once we acquire oil and gas properties, we will encounter competition in all aspects of our business, including acquisition of properties and oil and gas leases, marketing oil and gas, obtaining services and labor, and securing drilling rigs and other equipment necessary for drilling and completing wells. Our ability to increase reserves in the future will depend on our ability to generate successful prospects on our existing properties, execute on major development drilling programs, and acquire additional leases and prospects for future development and exploration, and to arrange the necessary financing. A large number of the companies that we compete with have substantially larger staffs and greater financial and operational resources than we have. Once we obtain the necessary financing, we will have to secure the services of qualified management and staff. Until we do so, we will be able to effectively compete in our proposed markets.
Industry Regulation
Once we acquire oil and gas properties, our oil and gas operations will be subject to various U.S. federal, state, and local laws and regulations. These laws and regulations may be changed in response to economic or political conditions. Matters subject to current governmental regulation or pending legislative or regulatory changes include bonding or other financial responsibility requirements to cover drilling contingencies and well plugging and abandonment costs, reports concerning our operations, the spacing of wells, unitization and pooling of properties, taxation, and the use of derivative hedging instruments. Our proposed operations will also be subject to permit requirements for the drilling of wells and regulations relating to the location of wells, the method of drilling and the casing of wells, surface use and restoration of properties on which wells are located, and the plugging and abandonment of wells. Failure to comply with the laws and regulations in effect from time to time may result in the assessment of administrative, civil, and criminal penalties, the imposition of remedial obligations, and the issuance of injunctions that could delay, limit, or prohibit certain of our operations. At various times, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on oil and gas production. In order to conserve supplies of oil and gas, these agencies may restrict the rates of flow of oil and gas wells below actual production capacity. Further, a significant spill from one of our future proposed facilities could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, competitive position, or financial condition. The laws in the United States regulate, among other things, the production, handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of oil and gas, by-products from oil and gas, and other substances and materials produced or used in connection with oil and gas operations. We cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on our operations.
9
Once we acquire oil and gas properties, our proposed operations will also be subject to various conservation laws and regulations. These include the regulation of the size of drilling and spacing units or prorationunits and the unitization or pooling of crude oil and natural gas properties. In addition, state conservation laws generally prohibit the venting or flaring of natural gas, and impose certain requirements regarding the ratability or fair apportionment of production from fields and individual wells. Certain of our proposed operations may be conducted on federal land pursuant to oil and gas leases administered by the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”). These leases will most likely contain relatively standardized terms and require compliance with detailed BLM regulations and orders (which are subject to change by the BLM). In addition to permits required from other agencies, lessees must obtain a permit from the BLM prior to the commencement of drilling and comply with regulations governing, among other things, engineering and construction specifications for production facilities, safety procedures, the valuation of production, and the removal of facilities. Under certain circumstances, the BLM may require our operations on federal leases to be suspended or terminated. Once we acquire oil and gas properties, any such suspension or termination could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and operations.
Once we acquire oil and gas properties, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) will impose reporting and other requirements on our business and operations, including with respect to payments made to U.S. and foreign governments related to our proposed oil and gas exploration and development activities. The legislation also imposes new requirements and oversight on our derivatives transactions, including potential new clearing, margin, and position limits requirements. Significant regulations are required to be promulgated by the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to implement these requirements and provide certain exemptions for qualified end-users. Although Global Earth Energy does not anticipate it will be affected differently than other producers of oil and natural gas, the new requirements are likely to impose additional reporting obligations on us with respect to the use of derivative instruments to hedge against commercial risks related to fluctuations in oil and gas commodity prices and interest rates. In addition, this legislation could have a substantial impact on our counterparties and may increase the cost of our derivative arrangements in the future. The imposition of these types of requirements or limitations could have an adverse effect on our ability to hedge risks associated with our business or on the cost of our hedging activities.
Additional proposals and proceedings that might affect the oil and gas industry are regularly considered by Congress, the states, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and the courts. We cannot predict when or whether any such proposal, or any additional new legislative or regulatory proposal, may become effective. Once we acquire oil and gas properties, no material portion of Global Earth Energy’s business is expected to be subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of the federal government.
Environmental and Climate Change Regulation
Once we acquire oil and gas properties, we will be subject to stringent national, state, provincial, and local laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where we expect to operate relating to environmental protection, including the manner in which various substances such as wastes generated in connection with oil and gas exploration, production, and transportation operations are released into the environment. Compliance with these laws and regulations can affect the location or size of wells and facilities, prohibit or limit the extent to which exploration and development may be allowed, and require proper closure of wells and restoration of properties when production ceases. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil, or criminal penalties, imposition of remedial obligations, incurrence of additional compliance costs, and even injunctions that limit or prohibit exploration and production activities or that constrain the disposal of substances generated by oil field operations.
Once we acquire oil and gas properties, we expect to operate or lease a number of properties that for many years have been used for the exploration and production of oil and gas. Although we expect to utilize operating and disposal practices that are standard in the industry, hydrocarbons or other wastes may have been disposed of or released on or under the properties to be operated or leased by us or on or under other locations where such wastes have been taken for disposal. In addition, many of these properties will most likely have been operated by third parties whose treatment and disposal or release of hydrocarbons or other wastes will not be under our control. These properties and the wastes disposed thereon may be subject to laws and regulations imposing joint and several, strict liability without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct that could require us to remove previously disposed wastes or remediate property contamination, or to perform well pluggings or pit closures or other actions of a remedial nature to prevent future contamination.
Once we acquire oil and gas properties, our proposed operations would most likely produce wastewater that would be disposed via injection in underground wells. These wells are regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act (the “SDWA”) and similar state and local laws. The underground injection well program under the SDWA requires permits from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or analogous state agencies for our proposed disposal wells, establishes minimum standards for injection well operations, and restricts the types and quantities of fluids that may be injected. Once we acquire oil and gas properties , we expect that our proposed disposal well operations will comply with all applicable requirements under the SDWA and similar state and local laws. However, a change in the regulations or the inability to obtain permits for new injection wells in the future may affect our ability to dispose of produced waters and ultimately increase the cost of our operations.
10
Once we acquire oil and gas properties, hydraulic fracturing is an important process that would be used in the completion of our oil and gas wells. The process involves the injection of water, sand, and chemicals under pressure into low-permeability formations to fracture the surrounding rock and stimulate production. The process is typically regulated by state oil and gas commissions. Various state and local governments have implemented or are considering increased regulatory oversight of hydraulic fracturing through additional permit requirements, operational restrictions, requirements for disclosure of chemical constituents, and temporary or permanent bans on hydraulic fracturing in certain environmentally sensitive areas such as watersheds. For instance, in December 2011, the states of Texas and Colorado adopted far-reaching rules that require the public disclosure of chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process, with the Texas rules applicable to fracturing treatments on wells with initial drilling permits issued on or after February 1, 2012, and the Colorado rules applicable to fracturing treatments performed on or after April 1, 2012. The availability of this information could make it easier for third parties opposing the hydraulic fracturing process to initiate legal proceedings based on allegations that specific chemicals used in the fracturing process could adversely affect groundwater. In addition, Congress has considered legislation to regulation under the SDWA. If adopted, such legislation would establish an additional level of regulation and impose additional costs on our proposed operations.
Nearly half of the states in the U.S., either individually or through multi-state initiatives, have begun implementing legal measures to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (“GHGs”). Also, the Supreme Court held in Massachusetts, et al. v. EPA (2007) that carbon dioxide may be regulated as an “air pollutant” under the federal Clean Air Act, and subsequently in December 2009, the EPA determined that GHG emissions present an endangerment to public health and the environment because such emissions, according to the EPA, are contributing to warming of the earth’s atmosphere and other climate changes. These findings allow the EPA to implement regulations that would restrict GHG emissions under existing provisions of the Clean Air Act. On November 8, 2010, the EPA finalized GHG reporting requirements for the petroleum and natural gas industries. Under this final rule, owners or operators of facilities that contain petroleum and natural gas systems, as defined by the rule, and emit 25,000 metric tons or more of GHGs per year per basin (expressed as carbon dioxide equivalents) will report emissions from all source categories located at the facility for which emission calculation methods are defined in the rule. Owners or operators will collect emission data; calculate GHG emissions; and follow the specified procedures for quality assurance, missing data, record keeping, and reporting defined in the final rule. For purposes of the rule, an onshore petroleum and natural gas production facility is generally defined as all petroleum and natural gas equipment associated with all petroleum or natural gas production wells and CO2enhanced oil recovery operations that are under common ownership or control, including leased, rented, and contracted activities, by an onshore petroleum and natural gas production owner or operator and that are located within a single hydrocarbon basin as defined by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. The rule is estimated to require reporting from approximately 2,800 facilities, covering 85% of the total GHG emissions from the U.S. petroleum and natural gas industries, including all of our proposed facilities, with modeling reporting beginning in late 2012 and actual data reporting beginning in 2013. We expect these new rules to result in increased compliance costs on our operations. In addition, these rules, and any other new rules and regulations addressing GHG emissions, could result in additional operating restrictions.
We believe that it is reasonably likely that the trend in environmental legislation and regulation will continue toward stricter standards. While, once we acquire oil and gas properties, we believe that we will be in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations in effect at that time and that continued compliance with existing requirements will not have a material adverse impact on us, we cannot give any assurance that we will not be adversely affected in the future. We will establish internal guidelines to be followed in order to comply with environmental laws and regulations in the United States and other relevant international jurisdictions. We expect to employ an environmental, health, and safety department whose responsibilities include providing assurance that our proposed operations will be carried out in accordance with applicable environmental guidelines and safety precautions. Although we expect that we will maintain pollution insurance against the costs of cleanup operations, public liability, and physical damage, there is no assurance that such insurance will be adequate to cover all such costs or that such insurance will continue to be available in the future. However, until we acquire oil and gas properties, we will not purchase any such pollution insurance.

Key Personnel
Our future financial success depends to a large degree upon the personal efforts of our key personnel. In our formative period, Sydney A. Harland, our chief executive officer and president, will play the major role in securing the services of those persons who can develop our business strategy and technology upon receipt of sufficient funds to pay for such services either from success through receipt of funds from earnings, borrowing or sales of common stock. While we intend to employ additional management and marketing personnel in order to minimize the critical dependency upon any one person, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the persons needed. We do not have an employment contract with Mr. Harland.
We Need To Hire Specialized Personnel
Although we are committed to the continued development and growth of our business, we will need to engage specialized key personnel, such as underwriters and legal personnel, to assess risks of investing in lawsuits and to assist Global Earth Energy in the execution of our business model, inasmuch as Sydney A. Harland, our chief executive officer, does not possess the requisite level of expertise to perform such functions. It is possible that we will not be able to locate and hire such specialized personnel on acceptable terms.
Adequacy of Working Capital
We hope to generate sufficient capital to fund our business plan through investments in our securities, revenues from operations, or borrowings. a successful resolution of the litigation in which we are currently involved. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financing Activities,” and “Business.” If we are not able to raise additional capital as described above, we would not be able to continue and our business would fail. As of the date of this report, we do not have any commitments for financing.
Our Financial Results May Be Affected by Factors Outside of Our Control
Our future operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control. Our anticipated expense levels are based, in part, on our estimates of future revenues and may vary from projections. We may be unable to adjust spending rapidly enough to compensate for any unexpected revenues shortfall. Accordingly, any significant shortfall in revenues in relation to our planned expenditures would materially adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Employees
As of the date of this report, we do not have any employees. We do not currently anticipate that we will hire any employees in the next six months. However, as our operations expand, we will need to employ the persons that we may need. We do not feel that we would have any difficulty in locating needed help.
From time-to-time, we anticipate that we will use the services of independent contractors and consultants to support our business development. We believe our future success depends in large part upon the continued service of our senior management personnel and our ability to attract and retain highly qualified managerial personnel.

Our corporate office is located at 1213 Culbreth Drive, Wilmington, North Carolina 28405, which we rent at the rate of $250.00 per month. In addition, we use approximately 400 square feet of office space at 5050 De Sorel, Suite 110, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H4P 1G5. We believe that all of our facilities are adequate for at least the next 12 months. We expect that we could locate other suitable facilities at comparable rates, should we need more space.
Item 3.
Legal Proceedings.
We are aware of the filing of one lawsuit against us, styled The Pelas Group, Inc. v. Sydney Harland, Knightsbridge Corporation, Global Earth Energy, Inc., and DOES 1through 15, inclusive, under Case No. 37-2012-00104417-CU-BC-CTL, pending in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego, Central Judicial District, filed on October 4, 2012. Although the lawsuit has apparently been filed, we have not been served. The allegations in the lawsuit appear to be against our president, Sydney Harland, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Knightsbridge Corporation, arising out of a consulting agreement between the plaintiff and Knightsbridge Corporation dated August 5, 2009. There does not appear to be any viable claim leveled against Global Earth Energy; the alleged claim is only directed against Mr. Harland and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Knightsbridge Corporation. Inasmuch as service has not been perfected, it is too early to comment on the status or possible outcome of the litigation. We will vigorously defend our position.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
On June 14, 2012, Global Earth Energy adopted that certain Global Earth Energy, Inc. 2012 Options, Restricted Stock and Performance-Based Awards Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The purposes of the Stock Plan are to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to directors, officers, employees and consultants of Global Earth Energy and its subsidiaries and to promote the success of our business. To accomplish the foregoing, the Plan provides that we may grant Options, Restricted Stock and Performance-Based Awards (each as defined under the Plan). Options granted under the Plan may be incentive stock options (as defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code) or nonstatutory stock options, as determined by the administrator of the Plan at the time of grant of an Option and subject to the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
On June 14, 2012, we awarded 10,000,000 shares of restricted stock to each of our directors, Sydney A. Harland, Betty A. Harland, Edmund J. Gorman, Robert Glassen, Arthur N. Kelly, and Richard Proulx, each of whom executed a Restricted Stock Award Agreement.
On November 14, 2012, we issued 100,000,000 shares of restricted stock to Sydney A. Harland, as partial payment for compensation due to him.
The shares were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Each investor took his securities for investment purposes without a view to distribution and had access to information concerning us and our business prospects, as required by the Securities Act. In addition, there was no general solicitation or advertising for the purchase of our shares. Our securities were sold only to an accredited investor, as defined in the Securities Act with whom we had a direct personal preexisting relationship, and after a thorough discussion. Finally, our stock transfer agent has been instructed not to transfer any of such shares, unless such shares are registered for resale or there is an exemption with respect to their transfer.
Each of Sydney A. Harland, Betty A. Harland, Edmund J. Gorman, Robert Glassen, Arthur N. Kelly, and Richard Proulx was provided with access to our filings with the SEC, including the following:
·
Our annual report to stockholders for the most recent fiscal year, the definitive proxy statement filed in connection with that annual report, and, if requested by the purchaser in writing, a copy of our most recent Form 10-K under the Exchange Act.
·

A copy of each of the Global Earth Energy, Inc. 2012 Options, Restricted Stock and Performance-Based Awards Stock Plan and the executed Restricted Stock Award Agreement for each of our directors was attached as an exhibit to our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 15, 2012.
On June 22 and 26, 2012, we issued 2,100,000 shares of our common stock to each of Mr. and Mrs. Harland, which had been registered pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on June 7, 2012. However, given the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Harland are affiliates of Global Earth Energy under the rules of the SEC, Rule 144 under the Securities Act restricts the amount and manner of the sale of any such shares. In August 2012, we cancelled the issuance of 425,618 shares of our common stock to our attorney, Norman T. Reynolds, pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on June 7, 2012.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ TOGETHER WITH THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K.
The following discussion reflects our plan of operation. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements which are attached to this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding our expected financial position, business and financing plans. These statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this report, particularly under the headings “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Unless the context otherwise suggests, “we,” “our,” “us,” and similar terms, as well as references to “Global Earth Energy,” all refer to Global Earth Energy as of the date of this report.
Results of Operations
Comparison of consolidated results of operations for the years ended August 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011.
Revenue for each of the years ending August 31, 2012 and 2011, was $-0-. Cost of goods sold was $-0-, for each of the years ending August 31, 2012 and 2011. Gross profit was $-0- for fiscal 2012 and 2011.
The net loss for the year ended August 31, 2012, was $24,996,084 compared to a net loss of $4,520,865 for the year ended August 31, 2011. Expenses for the year ended August 31, 2012, increased $20,475,219 over the year ended August 31, 2011. Increases in total expenses can be directly attributable to an increase in compensation expenses of $23,034,035, a decrease in consulting expense of $684,121, a decrease in general and administrative costs of $230,537, a decrease in interest expense of $21,425 and impairment loss of $444,643 resulting from the impairment of a joint venture.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Comparison for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011.
Our operations used approximately $118,430 in cash during the year ended August 31, 2012. Cash required during the year ended August 31, 2012, came principally from the proceeds from the issuance of debt in the amount of $109,250.
In pursuing our marketing and sale of our products under our new business plan, we estimate our operational expenses during the next 12 months will be approximately $6,000,000.00.
As discussed by our accountants in the audited financial statements included in this report, our revenues are currently insufficient to cover our costs and expenses and our lack of sources of revenue raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Seasonality
Our proposed business is not subject to seasonality.
Impact of Inflation
General inflation in the economy has driven the operating expenses of many businesses higher. We will continuously seek methods of reducing costs and streamlining operations while maximizing efficiency through improved internal operating procedures and controls. While we are subject to inflation as described above, our management believes that inflation currently does not have a material effect on our operating results. However, inflation may become a factor in the future.
16
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and impairment of long-lived assets.
We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” Sales are recorded when products are shipped to customers. 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.
We evaluate our long-lived assets for financial impairment on a regular basis in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” which evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets not held for sale by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated discounted future cash flows associated with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the future discounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values.
Financing Activities
We plan to fund our proposed operations from revenues from operations, the sale of our securities, and loans. At present, we do not have any commitments with respect to future financings. If we are unable to raise the capital we need to finance our business going forward, our proposed business will likely fail.
At present, we do not have sufficient capital on hand to fund our proposed operations for the next 12 months. We estimate that we will need at least $6,000,000.00 to fund our operations over the next 12 months. These funds will be spent to fund tour proposed oil and gas operations.
As of August 1, 2012, we executed a Settlement Agreement with Robert Levitt, to whom we owed the sum of $303,250, due to a Note Payable. Due to our financial constraints Mr. Levitt agreed that he could be repaid in shares of our common stock valued at a price per share of $0.001 for a total of 303,250,000 shares. However, Mr. Levitt will not be issued any shares, if after any such issuance, he should own in excess of 4.99% of our outstanding shares upon conversion at any one time. Further, notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in the Settlement Agreement, we, at anytime shall have the right to pay in cash the balance then owning on the unconverted Note Payable.
A copy of the Settlement Agreement with Mr. Levitt is attached as an exhibit to this report.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We conduct all of our transactions in U.S. dollars. We are therefore not directly subject to the risks of foreign currency fluctuations and do not hedge or otherwise deal in currency instruments in an attempt to minimize such risks.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718 (prior authoritative literature: FASB Statement No. 123R). FASB ASC 718 replaces SFAS No. 123R which requires all share-based payment to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). Global Earth Energy has selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate fair value method for our awards and have recognized compensation costs immediately as our awards are 100% vested.
Global Earth Energy’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50 (prior authoritative literature, EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF 00-18, “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees.”) The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable in accordance with ASC 718.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02. This update amends ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment and permits an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. This update defers the requirement to present items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income in both the statement of income where net income is presented and the statement where other comprehensive income is presented. The adoption of ASU 2011-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). This Update requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Global Earth Energy is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement may have on its results of operations or financial position.

Item 9.
Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
During the last two fiscal years, we have had no disagreements with our accountants on accounting and financial disclosure.
However, on March 2, 2011, we dismissed our independent auditor, EFP Rotenberg (“EFP Rotenberg”), which dismissal was reported in our current report on Form 8-K filed on March 2, 2011.
EFP Rotenberg’s reports on our financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2010, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that EFP Rotenberg’s reports on our Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2010, raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The decision to dismiss EFP Rotenberg was recommended by our board of directors.
During the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period through March 2, 2011, except as stated below with respect to our internal controls, there have not been any disagreements between us and EFP Rotenberg on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of EFP Rotenberg, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such periods.
During the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period through March 2, 2011, preceding the dismissal of EFP Rotenberg, as required by Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v), we acknowledged that EFP Rotenberg advised us that the internal controls necessary for us to develop reliable financial statements did not exist. In that regard, in our Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on January 18, 2011, we stated:
“Item 9A(T).
Controls and Procedures.
“The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a, et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
“The term internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s 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 and includes those policies and procedures that:
-
“Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
-
“Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
-
“Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
“Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the registrant have been detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

“Evaluation of Disclosure and Controls and Procedures. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The evaluation was undertaken in consultation with our accounting personnel. Based on that evaluation and because of certain material weaknesses identified below, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are currently not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. During the three months ended August 31, 2010, we identified the following conditions that indicated that our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective:
-
“Accounts payable and accrued expenses are inadequately being maintained as there is no policy for unpaid invoice documentation.
-
“Reconciliations of shares outstanding between the accounting records and the stock transfer agent are not performed timely.
“Factors Causing Restatement of the Financial Statements
“It is noted that our procedures for adequate safeguarding of important documents and agreements and the timely accounting and reporting of such documents and agreements is inadequate. The financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2010 were restated due to the fact that a stock warrant agreement executed on August 2, 2010 between Global Earth Energy and our attorney was not properly documented and accounted for in the financial statements. This is due to the fact that there is not one general location that all documents are stored for safekeeping. Our management also actively enters into transactions that call for or use issuances of common stock and/or stock awards as consideration. Due to limited accounting personnel, the fact that agreements are not readily available or accessible, and the large volume of activity that directly affects the shares outstanding and compensation based awards that only affect earnings per share, it presents a challenge for accounting personnel and management to accurately account for all transactions.
“Management decided to change the par value of common stock from $0.10 to its original value of $0.001 prior to the reverse stock split on May 18, 2009. The restatement of the par value of common stock although originally shown as compliant with GAAP was a decision by management to more accurately reflect the value of common stock and additional paid-in-capital. These changes did not change any effective ownership of voting rights or control of any shareholder.
“Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. All changes in the internal controls over our financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, have been disclosed above.
“This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.”

Engagement of New Certifying Accountants. On March 2, 2011, we engaged M&K CPAs PLLC, certified public accountants, (“M&K CPAs”) as our independent accountants to report on our balance sheet as of February 28, 2011, and the related combined statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. The decision to appoint M&K CPAs was approved by our board of directors. See our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 2, 2011.
During our two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of M&K CPAs, neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted with M&K CPAs regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and either a written report was provided to us or oral advice was provided that the new accountant concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions to Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
We provided EFP Rotenberg with a copy of the disclosures we made in the current report, which EFP Rotenberg received no later than the day that the disclosures were filed with the SEC. We requested that EFP Rotenberg furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agreed with the statements made by us in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K, and, if not, stating the respects in which it did not agree. The letter from EFP Rotenberg stating that it agreed with the statements made by us was filed with the SEC.
The financial statements included in this report were audited by M&K CPAs.

Item 9A(T).
Controls and Procedures.
The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a, et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The term internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s 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 and includes those policies and procedures that:
-
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
-
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
-
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the registrant have been detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

-
Our closing process is deficient in assuring accurate information without assistance from our auditors.

Committees of the Board
We do not currently have an Audit, Executive, Finance, Compensation, or Nominating Committee, or any other committee of the board of directors, although, we previously did have such committees. We decided to disband the committees, until such time as our operations justify the expenditure of time and effort required for each committee to function. However, we have adopted charters for these committees, in the event that we elect to implement them again. Copies of the charters for each proposed committee have been filed with the SEC.
The responsibilities of these committees are fulfilled by our board of directors and all of our directors participate in such responsibilities, none of whom is “independent” as defined under Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASD’s listing standards described below, as our financial constraints have made it extremely difficult to attract and retain qualified independent board members. In addition, we do not currently have an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in the Securities Act. Since we do not have any of the subject committees, our entire board of directors participates in all of the considerations with respect to our audit, compensation and nomination deliberations.
Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASD’s listing standards defines an “independent director” as a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the issuer’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The following persons shall not be considered independent:

A director who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the company;
·
A director who accepted or who has a Family Member who accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the three years preceding the determination of independence, other than the following: (i) compensation for board or board committee service; (ii) compensation paid to a Family Member who is an employee (other than as an executive officer) of the company; or (iii) benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation. Provided, however, that in addition to the requirements contained in this paragraph, audit committee members are also subject to additional, more stringent requirements under Rule 4350(d).
·
A director who is a Family Member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the company as an executive officer;
·
A director who is, or has a Family Member who is, a partner in, or a controlling stockholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed five percent of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than the following: (i) payments arising solely from investments in the company’s securities; or (ii) payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs.

We hope to add qualified independent members of our board of directors at a later date, depending upon our ability to reach and maintain financial stability.
Audit Committee
The entire board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the board when performing the functions of what would generally be performed by an audit committee. The board approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the board reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.

Nomination Committee
Our size and the size of our board, at this time, do not require a separate nominating committee. When evaluating director nominees, our directors consider the following factors:
·
The appropriate size of our board of directors;
·
Our needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of our directors;
·
The knowledge, skills and experience of nominees, including experience in finance, administration or public service, in light of prevailing business conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed by other members of the board;
·
Experience in political affairs;
·
Experience with accounting rules and practices; and
·
The desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new board members.
Our goal is to assemble a board that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience. In doing so, the board will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.
Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the board may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in our best interests as well as our stockholders. In addition, the board identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the board willing to continue in service. Current members of the board with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of the board does not wish to continue in service or if the board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the board then identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Current members of the board are polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria described above. The board may also engage in research to identify qualified individuals. To date, we have not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although we reserve the right in the future to retain a third party search firm, if necessary. The board does not typically consider stockholder nominees because it believes that its current nomination process is sufficient to identify directors who serve our best interests.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, our directors and certain of our officers, and persons holding more than 10 percent of our common stock are required to file forms reporting their beneficial ownership of our common stock and subsequent changes in that ownership with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Such persons are also required to furnish Global Earth Energy with copies of all forms so filed.
Based solely upon a review of copies of such forms filed on Forms 3, 4, and 5, and amendments thereto furnished to us, we believe that as of the date of this report, our executive officers, directors and greater than 10 percent beneficial owners have not complied on a timely basis with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.
Communication with Directors
Stockholders and other interested parties may contact any of our directors by writing to them at Global Earth Energy, Inc., at 1213 Culbreth Drive, Wilmington, North Carolina 28405, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
26
Our board has approved a process for handling letters received by us and addressed to any of our directors. Under that process, the Secretary reviews all such correspondence and regularly forwards to the directors a summary of all such correspondence, together with copies of all such correspondence that, in the opinion of the Secretary, deal with functions of the board or committees thereof or that he otherwise determines requires their attention. Directors may at any time review a log of all correspondence received by us that are addressed to members of the board and request copies of such correspondence.
Conflicts of Interest
With respect to transactions involving real or apparent conflicts of interest, we have adopted written policies and procedures which require that:
·
The fact of the relationship or interest giving rise to the potential conflict be disclosed or known to the directors who authorize or approve the transaction prior to such authorization or approval;
·
The transaction be approved by a majority of our disinterested outside directors; and
·
The transaction be fair and reasonable to us at the time it is authorized or approved by our directors.
Code of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers
We have adopted an amended Code of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers that applies to our president, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, and all financial officers, including the principal accounting officer. The code provides as follows:
·
Each officer is responsible for full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in all periodic reports and financial disclosures required to be filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission or disclosed to our stockholders and/or the public.
·
Each officer shall immediately bring to the attention of the audit committee, or disclosure compliance officer, any material information of which the officer becomes aware that affects the disclosures made by us in our public filings and assist the audit committee or disclosure compliance officer in fulfilling its responsibilities for full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in all periodic reports required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
·
Each officer shall promptly notify our general counsel, if any, or the president or chief executive officer as well as the audit committee of any information he may have concerning any violation of our Code of Business Conduct or our Code of Ethics, including any actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, involving any management or other employees who have a significant role in our financial reporting, disclosures or internal controls.
·
Each officer shall immediately bring to the attention of our general counsel, if any, the president or the chief executive officer and the audit committee any information he may have concerning evidence of a material violation of the securities or other laws, rules or regulations applicable to us and the operation of our business, by us or any of our agents.
·
Any waiver of this Code of Ethics for any officer must be approved, if at all, in advance by a majority of the independent directors serving on our board of directors. Any such waivers granted will be publicly disclosed in accordance with applicable rules, regulations and listing standards.
We intend to post a copy of our Code of Ethics on our website. In addition, we have previously filed a copy of our Code of Ethics with the SEC. We will provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of our Code of Ethics. Any such request should be directed to our corporate secretary at the address listed below in the next paragraph. The information contained in our website shall not constitute part of this report.
Our principal executive offices are located at 1213 Culbreth Drive, Wilmington, North Carolina 28405, telephone number (910) 270-7749, telecopier (910) 270-6640, and email harlandsydney@aol.com.

Item 11.
Executive Compensation.
Summary of Cash and Certain Other Compensation
At present Global Earth Energy has only two executive officers. The compensation program for future executives will consist of three key elements which will be considered by a compensation committee to be appointed:
·
A base salary;
·
A performance bonus; and
·
Periodic grants and/or options of our common stock.
Base Salary. Our chief executive officer and all other senior executive officers receive compensation based on such factors as competitive industry salaries, a subjective assessment of the contribution and experience of the officer, and the specific recommendation by our chief executive officer.
Performance Bonus. A portion of each officer’s total annual compensation is in the form of a bonus. All bonus payments to officers must be approved by our compensation committee based on the individual officer’s performance and company performance.
Stock Incentive. Stock grants and options are awarded to executive officers based on their positions and individual performance. Stock grants and options provide incentive for the creation of stockholder value over the long term and aid significantly in the recruitment and retention of executive officers. The compensation committee considers the recommendations of the chief executive officer for stock grants and options to executive officers (other than the chief executive officer) and approves, disapproves or modifies such recommendation. Stock grants and options for the chief executive officer will be recommended and approved by our board of directors. See “Market Price of and Dividends on our Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters - Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans.”
It is uncertain when, if ever, we will be in a position to compensate any of our officers or directors. Before we can expect to provide for officer salaries, we will have to obtain funds from earnings or the sale of our securities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Global Earth Energy, Inc. (A Development Stage Company)
Wilmington, North Carolina
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global Earth Energy, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) (the “Company”) as of August 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. The consolidated financial statements for the period since re-entering the development stage (March 1, 2010) to August 31, 2010 were audited by other auditors whose report expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Earth Energy, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of August 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has reported recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit for all periods presented. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. See note D to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding this uncertainty.

NOTE A –The Company - continued
Scope of Business
The Company’s business objective is to maximize its resources to purchase holdings in the Coal, Oil and Gas field. The Company’s main focus is purchasing and mining coal assets with joint venture partners and operators. Given the high demand for coal as an energy source, the Company is only attempting to purchase coal properties that produce high grade steam or metallurgic coal. Further, the Company is keeping open the possibility of expanding its operations into the oil, gas and precious metal fields of mining.
Note B -
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Method of Accounting
The Company maintains its books and prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions, which periodically may exceed federally insured amounts. As of August 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company had no cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.
The Company evaluates all significant tax positions as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As of August 31, 2012, the Company does not believe that it has taken any positions that would require the recording of any additional tax liability nor does it believe that there are any unrealized tax benefits that would either increase or decrease within the next year. It is the Company’s policy to recognize any interest and penalties in the provision for taxes.
Earnings per Share
Earnings per share of common stock are computed in accordance with FASB ASC 260 (prior authoritative literature: FASB Statement No. 128.), FASB ASC 260 replaces SFAS No, 128, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible securities, if dilutive. Common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive are excluded from both diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding and diluted earnings per share.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, long-term investments, and accounts payable. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value, unless otherwise noted.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718 (prior authoritative literature: FASB Statement No. 123R). FASB ASC 718 replaces SFAS No. 123R which requires all share-based payment to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company has selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate fair value method for our awards and have recognized compensation costs immediately as our awards are 100% vested.
The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50 (prior authoritative literature, EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF 00-18, “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees.”) The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable in accordance with ASC 718.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks.
The Company reviews the terms of the common stock, warrants and convertible debt it issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. The Company uses a lattice model for valuation of the derivative. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued
Derivative Financial Instruments
The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense, using the effective interest method.
Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within the 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Joint Venture
The Company has determined that the investment in joint venture should be accounted for as an equity investment in accordance with FASB ASC 323, FASB ASC 323 provides that under the equity method, an investor shall recognize its share of the earnings or losses of an investee in the periods for which they are reported by the investee in its financial statements rather than in the period in which an investee declares a dividend. An investor shall adjust the carrying amount of an investment for its share of the earnings or losses of the investee after the date of investment and shall report the recognized earnings or losses in income. An investor’s share of the earnings or losses of an investee shall be based on the shares of common stock and in-substance common stock held by that investor.
Note C - Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02. This update amends ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment and permits an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. This update defers the requirement to present items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income in both the statement of income where net income is presented and the statement where other comprehensive income is presented. The adoption of ASU 2011-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). This Update requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement may have on its results of operations or financial position.

Preferred Stock
On February 28, 2011 the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 2,000,000 Preferred Stock Class B to Betty Harland. These shares carry 500 to 1 voting rights and are not convertible into common stock. These shares also carry a liquidation preference over common shares. These shares were valued at $600,000 and were expensed upon grant. The shares were valued by a valuation expert on the date of grant. The key inputs in the valuation were related to assigning a value to the control associated with the preferred shares issued. No value was assigned to the liquidation preference of the securities based on the net deficit position of the Company. The valuation expert used industry studies for similar companies which estimated a premium on control equal to 10.05% of the Company’s respective market cap. The other inputs involved in calculating the market cap on the date of grant which was calculated as the shares outstanding multiplied by the shares price on the date of grant. The market cap on the date of grant was found to be approximately $5,969,380 based on this calculation.

Derivative Liability
The Company evaluated their convertible note agreements pursuant to ASC 815 and due to there being no minimum or fixed conversion price resulting in an indeterminate number of shares to be issued in the future, the Company determined an embedded derivative existed and ASC 815 applied for their convertible notes with a cumulative balance of $33,100 and $27,500 as of August 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
In accordance with the option allowed in ASC 815, the Company has elected to value the derivatives separately at the fair value on the issuance date using the Black-Scholes valuation model and bifurcate the instruments. The Company valued the embedded derivative within the convertible note using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The result of the valuation is a derivative liability in the amount of $31,455 as of August 31, 2011. We estimated the fair value of the derivative using the Black-Scholes valuation method with assumptions including: (1) term of 0.42 years; (2) a computed volatility rate of 271.26% (3) a discount rate of 0.12% and (4) zero dividends. The valuation of this embedded derivative was recorded with an offsetting gain/loss on derivative liability.

The result of the initial valuations for these notes was a derivative liability in the amount of $179,038 and an offsetting loss on derivative of $46,538 and discount on debt of $132,500. We estimated the fair value of the derivative using the Black-Scholes valuation method with assumptions including: (1) term of .75 years; (2) a computed volatility rate ranging from 311.00% to 328.59% (3) a discount rate ranging from 0.22% to 0.25% and (4) zero dividends.

For the year ended August 31, 2011, $111,797 was amortized and is included in interest expense. All discounts were fully amortized upon conversion where applicable. The instruments were revalued at each settlement and at year end, and the resulting change of $(65,470) was included in the statement of operations and netted with other gains and losses on the Statement of Operations.

On June 16, 2011, the Company acquired a 25% equity ownership in Global Earth Natural Resources Inc., a New Brunswick corporation. The Company provided no consideration for the transfer as the transferor is under common control.

The Company is aware of one lawsuit filed against its wholly owed subsidiary Knightsbridge Corp. The case is pending in the Superior Court of the State of California. It was filed on October 4, 2012. It is probable that the Company will have to repay the fees given it for unperformed services in the amount of $52,800 and has therefore accrued this as a liability at August 31, 2012.

As a result, the Company has recognized an impairment loss from the rescission of $828,496. The net operating results of 688239 B.C. Ltd. have been presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2010.
The following table provides the details of those discontinued operations:

Note L – Fair Value
The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities recorded at fair value based upon the fair value hierarchy specified by GAAP. All assets and liabilities are recorded at historical cost which approximates fair value, and therefore, no items were valued according to these inputs.
The levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:
·
Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access;
·
Level 2 inputs utilize other-than-quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and
·
Level 3 inputs are unobservable and are typically based on our own assumptions, including situations where there is little, if any, market activity.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the Company categorizes such financial asset or liability based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that are classified within the Level 3 category. All assets and liabilities are at cost which approximates fair value and there are not items that were required to be valued on a non-recurring basis.
The following liability was valued at fair value as of August 31, 2012 and 2011. No other items were valued at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of August 31, 2012 or 2011.
