ITEM 1.BUSINESS.

 

Background

 

Overview

 

In January 2012, Rio Bravo Oil, Inc. (f/k/a/ Soton Holdings Group, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) determined to change its business plan to focus on the oil and gas industry and to seek, investigate, and, if warranted, acquire one or more properties or businesses in the oil and gas industry, and to pursue other related activities intended to enhance shareholder value. The acquisition of the oil and gas assets described herein was undertaken in furtherance of that strategy.

 

The Management of the Company adopted a strategy of developing a growth-oriented independent energy and production company with a focus on development of proven undeveloped reservoirs and expansion of fields through unconventional methods of resource development. The Company began to execute this strategy through it’s acquisitions and aggregation of certain working interests located within the Luling Edwards, Darst Creek Luling Branyon, and Salt Flat fields in Texas, (collectively referred to as the “Luling Edwards Fields”). It had been the Company’s strategy to acquire certain significant working interests and assets within productive Edwards reservoirs, to additionally acquire additional rights associated with its targeted leases and to obtain secondary development opportunities.

 

In February 2014, the Company and Eagle Ford Oil, Inc. (‘Eagle Ford”) entered into an asset purchase agreement whereby the Company sold to Eagle Ford all of its interest in all of its oil and gas leaseholds. As consideration, the Company received a promissory note in the amount of $500,000 and Eagle Ford agreed to take over all of the associated liabilities of the Company in respect to those leaseholds. In addition, Eagle Ford conveyed to the Company an unencumbered 10% carried working interest in all of the leaseholds sold to Eagle Ford.

Material Events

 

Operations:

 

In July 2011, Pan American Oil Company, LLC (“Pan American”) entered into a preliminary purchase and sale agreement with Rio Bravo Oil, LLC in which Pan American agreed to purchase all of Rio Bravo Oil LLC’s right, title and interest in its approximate 27% working interest and 23% net revenue interest in certain leaseholds in the Luling-Edwards Field. The purchase price was approximately $1.5 million in cash with a requirement to close on or before November 30, 2011. The agreement was subsequently modified to include Rio Bravo’s approximate 3.345% working interest and 12.5% net revenue interest (after overrides) in certain leaseholds in the Bateman Field and the purchase price was increased to include approximately an additional $1.7 million in cash with the acquisition date extended until Pan American was able to arrange funding. In February 2012 the agreement was modified again such that the assets included in the amended purchase and sale agreement included the original Luling-Edwards Field leaseholds and an option to purchase the Bateman Field leaseholds. This transaction closed on February 13, 2012. In November 2011, Pan American Oil Company, LLC entered into two separate purchase and sale agreements with entities that were sold partial interests in the Luling-Edwards field by Rio Bravo Oil, LLC in March 2010. The agreements called for Pan American to purchase approximately 20.75% net revenue interest and 30% working interest in the leaseholds in the Luling-Edwards field and had a combined purchase price of $300,000 in cash and the requirement of Pan American to deliver $500,000 worth of the shares of preferred stock Pan American receives in connection with a sale of its interests to a public company.

 

On February 13, 2012, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Pan American. Pursuant to the Agreement, Pan American exchanged its outstanding membership interests for 5,500,000 shares of Rio Bravo’s Series A Preferred stock and the assumption of approximately $3.3 million of liabilities.

 

In June 2012, the Company consummated two transactions to acquire additional leasehold rights to acreage in Guadeloupe and Caldwell Counties, Texas. In the first agreement, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Numa Luling, LLC in which the Company acquired all of Numa Luling, LLC’s right, title and interest (25% working interest and 25% net revenue interest, subject to 25% ORRI) in leasehold rights to the same formation, the Edwards formation, held by the Company. The purchase price for the acquisition of interests held by Numa Luling, LLC was 3,250,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock, which the Company valued at $3.466 million.

 

The second acquisition was an asset purchase agreement with Eagle Ford in which the Company acquired 80% of the leasehold interests held by Eagle Ford. The leaseholds acquired were for depths other than the Edwards formation on the same acreage as the leaseholds owned by the Company. As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to carry the remaining 20% interest for drilling and swabbing operations, but not for leasehold operating expenses. The purchase price was payment of approximately $2 million in cash plus a note in the amount of $225,000 plus the assumption of certain payment obligations to the bankruptcy estate of the previous owner of the leasehold rights. One of the payment obligations calls for the Company to pay to the bankruptcy estate $5,000 per well drilled to a maximum of 200 wells and if that total is not met, a balloon payment is due on March 16, 2016 for the difference between $1 million and the per well amount funded through March 16, 2016.

 

In 2012, the third party operator for the Company’s leasehold interests commenced several drilling and work-over programs targeting three different depths within the Buda and Edwards formations. The first program started by the third party operator was an attempt to test for recompleting the wells drilled in the 2010 drilling program that were all dry holes that were acquired by the Company with their purchase of Pan American Oil Co, LLC and Numa Luling, LLC.

 

The second program started was a small workover program covering 4 previously inactive wells in the Austin chalk formation that were acquired in the purchase of the leasehold interest acquired from Eagle Ford.

The third drilling program was the drilling of a new horizontal well nearby to the wells drilled in the 2010 drilling program noted above, the Tiller #4H well.

 

In January 2013, the Company and 0947388 BC Ltd. (“094”) entered into a letter of intent for 094 to farm into the Edwards formation assets acquired through its acquisition of Pan American Oil Company, LLC (see Note 2) and Numa Luling, LLC (see Note 4) and also the 80% interest in certain leasehold interests acquired from Eagle Ford Oil Co., Inc. (see Note 4). The Company and 094 were unable to successfully negotiate a farm-in by 094. At the time of entering the letter of intent, 094 paid a deposit of $300,000. That deposit remains outstanding as of December 31, 2013 and is included in short term notes payable.

 

In the third quarter of 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Eagle Ford. The purchase price was $300,000 plus the assumption of all of its outstanding liabilities. Acquisition of Eagle Ford would have increased the Company’s ownership in the leasehold interests acquired from an 80% working interest to a 100% working interest and it would have also given them the ability to act as operator for their own and other leasehold interest should they have choosen to do so. The Company was required to pay $25,000 at close and then another $125,000 on or before September 30, 2013 with the final $150,000 due on or before October 31, 2013. The Company was only able to make the first $25,000 payment and a further $15,000 payment in the fourth quarter. By year-end, the transaction was abandoned and the Company wrote off the $40,000 investment. The failure to obtain financing for the deal led the Company at the end of 2013 to approve a plan to attempt to sell substantially all of its oil and gas assets in order to reduce its cash flow deficit from its leasehold working interests.

 

In February 2014, the Company entered into a sale agreement with Eagle Ford, the current operator for its oil field interests, such that the Company sold the entirety of its working and net revenue interests in all of its oil field leaseholds and also sold all of its salvage equipment obtained through its acquisitions. In addition, Eagle Ford agreed to take over all of the Company’s payables related to the leasehold interests and all of the remaining obligations incurred by the Company when it acquired its leasehold interests from Eagle Ford back in 2012. As consideration Eagle Ford issued a note to the Company in the amount of $500,000 plus a 10% carried working interest in the oil field leaseholds sold to Eagle Ford. The 10% carried working interest is subject to the existing 25% overriding royalty interests that exist on the leaseholds. The Company’s carried working interest means it is not obligated for any cash calls for any drilling or re-work drilling activity and is only obligated for 10% of the leasehold operating expenses.

 

Finance:

 

Debt:

 

In October 2012 through December 2012 the Company received gross proceeds of $ 1,635,000 from the sale of promissory notes to two stockholders that mature on the earlier of December 31, 2013 or upon the Company raising $1,500,000 in debt or equity after the sale of the notes. The notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and are unsecured. During 2013, the Company borrowed an additional $1,267,600 from the same two stockholders on essentially the same terms with maturity dates ranging from January 2014, through September 2014. The amount owed at December 31, 2013 was $2,902,600. The Company is attempting to negotiate an extension of the maturity date of these notes.

 

In March and April 2013, the Company received gross proceeds of $110,000 from an unrelated third party and issued promissory notes in the same amount. Those notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum, are unsecured and mature on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the notes or upon the Company obtaining $1.5 mm in financing.

 

On August 1, 2013, the Company entered into a secured promissory note with HII Technologies, Inc. (“HII”) for $290,000. The Company entered into the promissory note to forestall mechanics lien issues with the Company’s leaseholds. HII was a drilling supplier for Eagle Ford who, because of its own financial stress, had been unable to timely pay its suppliers, including HII. The Company and Eagle Ford agreed to reduce the Company’s operator payable to Eagle Ford by the same amount of the promissory note. The loan agreement bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum and matures on or before July 31, 2014. The loan is secured by a lien on the Company leasehold interest in 204 acres in Caldwell County, Texas.

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company was advanced $89,000 by a shareholder of the Company and an additional $37,000 by an unrelated third party. In March and April 2014, the CEO advanced the Company $17,000.

 

Equity:

 

PREFERRED STOCK:

 

Series A

 

In connection with the acquisition of Pan American, the Company issued 5,500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock as partial consideration for the purchase. The Series A preferred stock had an initial issue price of $1 per share and accrues a dividend quarterly to each holder at the rate of 3% per annum based on the original issue price, payable quarterly in cash or in kind. Series A preferred holders are required to have received all dividends before any dividend on common stock may be issued. The Series A preferred ranks senior to common stock in the event of a liquidation or winding up of the Company. The Series A preferred may be converted in whole or in part at any time at the option of the holder at the rate of 1 common share for each Series A Preferred, subject to adjustments as defined in the Series A certificate of designation. In addition, should the common stock of the Company trade in any over the counter market above $1.75 per share for a period of at least 30 consecutive trading days, the Company have an initial public offering of any class of securities in which gross proceeds are in excess of $50 million or consummate a merger in which the existing Company shareholders obtain less than 50% of the voting control of the combined entity, then the Series A preferred will automatically convert into the number of shares of common stock as the then conversion rate indicates. In the event that holders elect not to convert their Series A preferred or no automatic conversion is triggered, on January 31, 2019, the Series A preferred will become mandatorily redeemable for cash at its original issue price plus any unpaid dividends accrued as of that date.

 

Series B

 

In connection with the acquisition of Numa Luling, the Company issued 3,250,000 shares of Series B preferred stock as partial consideration for the purchase. The Series B preferred stock had an initial issue (also liquidation price) of $1 per share. The Series B ranks junior to the Series A preferred stock in respect to the payment of dividends but senior to shares of common stock. The Series B is non-cumulative and dividends must be declared before they become payable by the Company. The Series B ranks pari-passu in respect to liquidation and all other matters to the Series A preferred stock. Each share of Series B preferred stock may be converted at any time by the holder into 1.33 shares of common stock. In the event that the Company’s common stock trades above $1.75 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company closes on a qualified sale (as defined in the agreement) in which the consideration to be received is greater than $50 million, or the Company has an underwritten public offering with proceeds in excess of $50 million, the Series B preferred stock automatically converts into common stock at the rate of 1.33 common shares for each Series B share. The holders also have standard anti-dilution protections.

 

Series C

 

During the quarter ending September 30, 2012 the Company raised gross proceeds of $492,000 and issued 492,000 shares of Series C preferred stock. In addition, the Company issued one warrant for each share of Series C preferred stock sold in the offering. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and expires 3 years from the date of issuance. The original issuance price was $1.00 per share. The Series C Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution, rank junior to or pari passu to other classes or series of preferred stock and prior to common stock. The Corporation shall pay the holders of Series C Preferred Stock a dividend in an amount equal to five percent (5%) per annum multiplied by the Original Issue Price of the Series C Preferred Stock. Cumulative Preferred Dividends shall be payable in quarterly installments in cash or in kind, at the sole option of the Corporation. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted by any holder thereof, without any further consideration, at any time, into 1.11 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Rate”). In addition, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the Conversion

Rate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

6
 

 

(i) The shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall trade at a price of over $1.75 per share (as adjusted for stock splits or other events which would result in an adjustment of the conversion rate) for a period in excess of thirty (30) consecutive trading days and the shares of the Company’s Common Stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock are either (i) included in an effective registration statement or (ii) eligible to be traded pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration.

 

(ii) The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally for the election of directors.

 

(iii) The merger of the Company which results in the shareholders of the Company prior to the merger owning less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company following the merger.

 

(iv) An underwritten initial public offering of the Company’s shares with gross proceeds of at least $50,000,000.

 

The Company shall mandatorily redeem all shares of Series C Preferred Stock which remain issued and outstanding at January 31, 2019 at a price equal to the sum of the Original Issue Price and the aggregate amount of any unpaid Cumulative Preferred Dividends attributable to such shares. Such redemption shall be made only to the extent the Company has funds legally available for such redemption as of the Redemption Date. Except as otherwise provided herein or required by law, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote together as a single class with the holders of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Company entitled to vote, upon any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote. The holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which each share of Series C Preferred Stock held by such holders at the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken, is convertible.

 

COMMON STOCK:

 

On February 15, 2012. A 35 for one forward stock split of the Company’s Common Stock par value $0.001 became effective

In May 2012 the Board of Directors adopted a stock compensation plan. The plan allows the Company to issue shares of common stock, options to purchase common stock or stock appreciation rights to employees, directors and consultants employed by the Company. The number of shares of common stock issuable under the plan is determined each January 1, such that the plan may issue shares of common stock or instruments to acquire common stock of the Company up to 15% of the then outstanding common stock of the Company. No awards were granted or outstanding during the period ending December 31, 2012.

 

In July 2012, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock as compensation for investor relations services. The stock was valued at its trading price of $0.86 per share on the date of the agreement.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

 

Not required as the Company is a “smaller reporting company”.

 

ITEM 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

 

None.

 

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

Offices

 

At this time, the Company maintains its designated office at 2425 Fountainview, Suite 300, Houston, TX 77057 on a gratis basis. At some time in the future, it is expected that the Company expects to have its own offices and will enter into a lease for such offices.

 

Oil and Gas Properties

 

The Company currently holds certain participating interests located primarily in the Salt Flat and Luling Branyon fields in Caldwell and Guadalupe Counties, Texas. Production in these fields is primarily from the Lower Cretaceous Edwards Formation and Buda Formations in the acreage held by Rio Bravo.  The Edwards Formation(s) is the geologic strata commonly referred to as the Edwards Limestone, which is identified by electric log analysis between the depths of 2,825 feet and 2,920 feet in the Eagle Ford Oil Co. Inc. (“Eagle Ford”) D. G. Tiller #1 SW disposal well bearing API Number 42-055-34932 located in the Gerron Hinds Survey, A-13 of Caldwell County, Texas. 

 

During the Third Quarter 2013 the company drilled the LL Cox #1 well as a recompletion into the Buda formation.  Management has determined that the well requires a frac stimulation to determine its ability to obtain commercial production. Subsequent to drilling the Tiller 4H, a horizontal well into the Edwards formation, production test on the well did not produce commercial quantities of hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon shows were seen and produced from the Tiller Wells # 3H (a Buda well), 10, 4, 26E, and the (the Austin Chalk wells) after they were completed in 2013, and production rate tests were established from ½ bbl to 3 bbls per day per well but due to capital constraints their full production capability was not achieved.  Additional production was achieved from a swabbing units periodic testing of wellbores in preparation to return temporarily abandoned wells to production.  No field operations are currently planned by the Company for 2014.

As disclosed previously, in February 2014, the Company entered into a sale agreement with Eagle Ford such that the Company sold to Eagle Ford all of its oil and gas leasehold interests and received as compensation a promissory note in the amount of $500,000, the assumption by Eagle Ford of certain liabilities attributable to field operations and a 10% carried working interest in all of the oil and gas leaseholds sold to Eagle Ford. Due to the sale in 2014, our operations in 2014 will be substantially curtailed. We will no longer be responsible for any capital calls in regards to the development of the oil and gas leaseholds, in addition, we will not be responsible for certain workover costs. Our only responsibility in regards to our carried interest, is in regards to normal leasehold operating costs.

 

Summary of Oil and Natural Gas Reserves

 

Proved Reserves

 

The following table sets forth our estimated net proved reserves as of December 31, 2013.

 

Estimated Proved Reserves Data:(1)  Oil
(MBbls)
 
Proved developed not producing reserves   249 
Proved undeveloped reserves   - 
Total proved reserves   249 

 

(1)Prices used are based on the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month in the period January 2013 through December 2013. For oil volumes, the average WTI posted price of approximately $97 per Bbl is adjusted for quality, transportation fees and a regional price differential. The adjusted oil and natural gas prices of $90 per barrel are held constant throughout the lives of the properties.

 

Estimates of proved developed and undeveloped reserves are inherently imprecise and are continually subject to revision based on production history, results of additional exploration and development, price changes and other factors. See “— Qualifications of Technical Persons and Internal Controls Over Reserves Estimation Process.”

 

At December 31, 2013, our estimated proved reserves were 249 MBoe. Our estimated proved reserves were essentially unchanged, increasing by approximately 1 MBoe over 2012 which reflects 2013 production.

 

Proved Undeveloped Reserves

Our proved undeveloped reserves at December 31, 2013 were 0 MBoe. We reduced our reserves in 2013 due to our current financial condition. We need approximately $16 million to exploit our current undeveloped reserves and at present are unable to commit such funds.

In addition Mr. Hammock has consulted for numerous oil and gas independents as a Senior Petroleum Engineer for Frank and Associates, and as an independent consultant. Hammock received his Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Oklahoma. He maintains memberships in the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers, and is a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Texas.

 

Our senior management reviews and approves the Hammock reserve reports and any internally estimated significant changes to our proved reserves on an annual basis.

 

Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are projections based on a process involving an independent third party engineering firm’s collection of all required geologic, geophysical, engineering and economic data, and such firm’s complete external preparation of all required estimates and are forward-looking in nature. These reports rely upon various assumptions, including assumptions required by the SEC, such as constant oil and natural gas prices, operating expenses and future capital costs. The process also requires assumptions relating to availability of funds and timing of capital expenditures for development of our proved undeveloped reserves. These reports should not be construed as the current market value of our reserves. The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves is also dependent on geological, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. Because of the uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of this data, we cannot be certain that the reserves will ultimately be realized. Our actual results could differ materially. See “Note 14  — Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosure (Unaudited)” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our oil and natural gas reserves.

 

Under SEC rules, proved reserves are those quantities of oil and natural gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations. The term “reasonable certainty” implies a high degree of confidence that the quantities of oil and/or natural gas actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. To achieve reasonable certainty, Hammock employs technologies consistent with the standards established by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. The technologies and economic data used in the estimation of our proved reserves include, but are not limited to, well logs, geologic maps and available downhole and production data, seismic data and well test data.

Overview

 

In January 2012, Rio Bravo Oil, Inc. (f/k/a/ Soton Holdings Group, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) determined to change its business plan to focus on the oil and gas industry and to seek, investigate, and, if warranted, acquire one or more properties or businesses in the oil and gas industry, and to pursue other related activities intended to enhance shareholder value. The acquisition of the oil and gas assets described herein was undertaken in furtherance of that strategy.

 

15
 

 

The Management of the Company had adopted a strategy of developing a growth-oriented independent energy and production company with a focus on development of proven undeveloped reservoirs and expansion of fields through unconventional methods of resource development. The Company began to execute this strategy through it’s acquisitions and aggregation of certain working interests located within the Luling Edwards, Darst Creek Luling Branyon, and Salt Flat fields in Texas, (collectively referred to as the “Luling Edwards Fields”). It had been the Company’s strategy to acquire certain significant working interests and assets within productive Edwards reservoirs, to additionally acquire additional rights associated with its targeted leases and to obtain secondary development opportunities.

 

In February 2014, the Company and Eagle Ford Oil, Inc. (‘Eagle Ford”) entered into an asset purchase agreement whereby the Company sold to Eagle Ford all of its interest in all of its oil and gas leaseholds. As consideration, the Company received a promissory note in the amount of $500,000 and Eagle Ford agreed to take over all of the associated liabilities of the Company in respect to those leaseholds. In addition, Eagle Ford conveyed to the Company an unencumbered 10% carried working interest in all of the leaseholds sold to Eagle Ford.

 

Material Events

 

Operations:

 

In July 2011, Pan American Oil Company, LLC (“Pan American”) entered into a preliminary purchase and sale agreement with Rio Bravo Oil, LLC in which Pan American agreed to purchase all of Rio Bravo Oil LLC’s right, title and interest in its approximate 27% working interest and 23% net revenue interest in certain leaseholds in the Luling-Edwards Field. The purchase price was approximately $1.5 million in cash with a requirement to close on or before November 30, 2011. The agreement was subsequently modified to include Rio Bravo’s approximate 3.345% working interest and 12.5% net revenue interest (after overrides) in certain leaseholds in the Bateman Field and the purchase price was increased to include approximately an additional $1.7 million in cash with the acquisition date extended until Pan American was able to arrange funding. In February 2012 the agreement was modified again such that the assets included in the amended purchase and sale agreement included the original Luling-Edwards Field leaseholds and an option to purchase the Bateman Field leaseholds. This transaction closed on February 13, 2012. In November 2011, Pan American Oil Company, LLC entered into two separate purchase and sale agreements with entities that were sold partial interests in the Luling-Edwards field by Rio Bravo Oil, LLC in March 2010. The agreements called for Pan American to purchase approximately 20.75% net revenue interest and 30% working interest in the leaseholds in the Luling-Edwards field and had a combined purchase price of $300,000 in cash and the requirement of Pan American to deliver $500,000 worth of the shares of preferred stock Pan American receives in connection with a sale of its interests to a public company.

 

On February 13, 2012, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Pan American. Pursuant to the Agreement, Pan American exchanged its outstanding membership interests for 5,500,000 shares of Rio Bravo’s Series A Preferred stock and the assumption of approximately $3.3 million of liabilities.

 

In June 2012, the Company consummated two transactions to acquire additional leasehold rights to acreage in Guadeloupe and Caldwell Counties, Texas. In the first agreement, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Numa Luling, LLC in which the Company acquired all of Numa Luling, LLC’s right, title and interest (25% working interest and 25% net revenue interest, subject to 25% ORRI) in leasehold rights to the same formation, the Edwards formation, held by the Company. The purchase price for the acquisition of interests held by Numa Luling, LLC was 3,250,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock, which the Company valued at $3.466 million.

 

The second acquisition was an asset purchase agreement with Eagle Ford in which the Company acquired 80% of the leasehold interests held by Eagle Ford. The leaseholds acquired were for depths other than the Edwards formation on the same acreage as the leaseholds owned by the Company. As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to carry the remaining 20% interest for drilling and swabbing operations, but not for leasehold operating expenses. The purchase price was payment of approximately $2 million in cash plus a note in the amount of $225,000 plus the assumption of certain payment obligations to the bankruptcy estate of the previous owner of the leasehold rights. One of the payment obligations calls for the Company to pay to the bankruptcy estate $5,000 per well drilled to a maximum of 200 wells and if that total is not met, a balloon payment is due on March 16, 2016 for the difference between $1 million and the per well amount funded through March 16, 2016.

 

16
 

 

In 2012, the third party operator for the Company’s leasehold interests commenced several drilling and work-over programs targeting three different depths within the Buda and Edwards formations. The first program started by the third party operator was an attempt to test for recompleting the wells drilled in the 2010 drilling program that were all dry holes that were acquired by the Company with their purchase of Pan American Oil Co, LLC and Numa Luling, LLC.

 

The second program started was a small workover program covering 4 previously inactive wells in the Austin chalk formation that were acquired in the purchase of the leasehold interest acquired from Eagle Ford.

 

The third drilling program was the drilling of a new horizontal well nearby to the wells drilled in the 2010 drilling program noted above, the Tiller #4H well.

 

In January 2013, the Company and 0947388 BC Ltd. (“094”) entered into a letter of intent for 094 to farm into the Edwards formation assets acquired through its acquisition of Pan American Oil Company, LLC (see Note 2) and Numa Luling, LLC (see Note 4) and also the 80% interest in certain leasehold interests acquired from Eagle Ford Oil Co., Inc. (see Note 4). The Company and 094 were unable to successfully negotiate a farm-in by 094. At the time of entering the letter of intent, 094 paid a deposit of $300,000. That deposit remains outstanding as of December 31, 2013 and is included in short term notes payable.

 

In the third quarter of 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Eagle Ford. The purchase price was $300,000 plus the assumption of all of its outstanding liabilities. Acquisition of Eagle Ford would increase the Company’s ownership in the leasehold interests acquired from an 80% working interest to a 100% working interest and it would also give them the ability to act as operator for their own and other leasehold interest should they choose to do so. The Company was required to pay $25,000 at close and then another $125,000 on or before September 30, 2013 with the final $150,000 due on or before October 31, 2013. The Company was only able to make the first $25,000 payment and a further $15,000 payment in the fourth quarter. By year-end, the transaction was abandoned and the Company wrote off the $40,000 investment. The failure to obtain financing for the deal led the Company at the end of 2013 to approve a plan to attempt to sell substantially all of its oil and gas assets in order to reduce its cash flow deficit from its leasehold working interests.

 

In February 2014, the Company entered into a sale agreement with Eagle Ford, the current operator for its oil field interests, such that the Company sold the entirety of its working and net revenue interests in all of its oil field leaseholds and also sold all of its salvage equipment obtained through its acquisitions. In addition, Eagle Ford agreed to take over all of the Company’s payables related to the leasehold interests and all of the remaining obligations incurred by the Company when it acquired its leasehold interests from Eagle Ford back in 2012. As consideration Eagle Ford issued a note to the Company in the amount of $500,000 plus a 10% carried working interest in the oil field leaseholds sold to Eagle Ford. The 10% carried working interest is subject to the existing 25% overriding royalty interests that exist on the leaseholds. The Company’s carried working interest means it is not obligated for any cash calls for any drilling or re-work drilling activity and is only obligated for 10% of the leasehold operating expenses.

 

Finance:

 

Debt:

 

In October 2012 through December 2012 the Company received gross proceeds of $ 1,635,000 from the sale of promissory notes to two stockholders that mature on the earlier of December 31, 2013 or upon the Company raising $1,500,000 in debt or equity after the sale of the notes. The notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and are unsecured. During 2013, the Company borrowed an additional $1,267,600 from the same two stockholders on essentially the same terms with maturity dates ranging from January 2014, through September 2014. The amount owed at December 31, 2013 was $2,902,600. The Company is attempting to negotiate an extension of the maturity date of these notes.

 

17
 

 

In March and April 2013, the Company received gross proceeds of $110,000 from an unrelated third party and issued promissory notes in the same amount. Those notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum, are unsecured and mature on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the notes or upon the Company obtaining $1.5 mm in financing.

 

On August 1, 2013, the Company entered into a secured promissory note with HII Technologies, Inc. (“HII”) for $290,000. The Company entered into the promissory note to forestall mechanics lien issues with the Company’s leaseholds. HII was a drilling supplier for Eagle Ford who, because of its own financial stress, had been unable to timely pay its suppliers, including HII. The Company and Eagle Ford agreed to reduce the Company’s operator payable to Eagle Ford by the same amount of the promissory note. The loan agreement bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum and matures on or before July 31, 2014. The loan is secured by a lien on the Company leasehold interest in 204 acres in Caldwell County, Texas.

 

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company was advanced $89,000 by a shareholder of the Company and an additional $37,000 by an unrelated third party. In March and April 2014, the CEO advanced the Company $17,000.

 

Equity:

 

PREFERRED STOCK:

 

Series A

 

In connection with the acquisition of Pan American, the Company issued 5,500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock as partial consideration for the purchase. The Series A preferred stock had an initial issue price of $1 per share and accrues a dividend quarterly to each holder at the rate of 3% per annum based on the original issue price, payable quarterly in cash or in kind. Series A preferred holders are required to have received all dividends before any dividend on common stock may be issued. The Series A preferred ranks senior to common stock in the event of a liquidation or winding up of the Company. The Series A preferred may be converted in whole or in part at any time at the option of the holder at the rate of 1 common share for each Series A Preferred, subject to adjustments as defined in the Series A certificate of designation. In addition, should the common stock of the Company trade in any over the counter market above $1.75 per share for a period of at least 30 consecutive trading days, the Company have an initial public offering of any class of securities in which gross proceeds are in excess of $50 million or consummate a merger in which the existing Company shareholders obtain less than 50% of the voting control of the combined entity, then the Series A preferred will automatically convert into the number of shares of common stock as the then conversion rate indicates. In the event that holders elect not to convert their Series A preferred or no automatic conversion is triggered, on January 31, 2019, the Series A preferred will become mandatorily redeemable for cash at its original issue price plus any unpaid dividends accrued as of that date.

 

Series B

 

In connection with the acquisition of Numa Luling, the Company issued 3,250,000 shares of Series B preferred stock as partial consideration for the purchase. The Series B preferred stock had an initial issue (also liquidation price) of $1 per share. The Series B ranks junior to the Series A preferred stock in respect to the payment of dividends but senior to shares of common stock. The Series B is non-cumulative and dividends must be declared before they become payable by the Company. The Series B ranks pari-passu in respect to liquidation and all other matters to the Series A preferred stock. Each share of Series B preferred stock may be converted at any time by the holder into 1.33 shares of common stock. In the event that the Company’s common stock trades above $1.75 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company closes on a qualified sale (as defined in the agreement) in which the consideration to be received is greater than $50 million, or the Company has an underwritten public offering with proceeds in excess of $50 million, the Series B preferred stock automatically converts into common stock at the rate of 1.33 common shares for each Series B share. The holders also have standard anti-dilution protections.

 

18
 

 

Series C

 

During the quarter ending September 30, 2012 the Company raised gross proceeds of $492,000 and issued 492,000 shares of Series C preferred stock. In addition, the Company issued one warrant for each share of Series C preferred stock sold in the offering. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and expires 3 years from the date of issuance. The original issuance price was $1.00 per share. The Series C Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution, rank junior to or pari passu to other classes or series of preferred stock and prior to common stock. The Corporation shall pay the holders of Series C Preferred Stock a dividend in an amount equal to five percent (5%) per annum multiplied by the Original Issue Price of the Series C Preferred Stock. Cumulative Preferred Dividends shall be payable in quarterly installments in cash or in kind, at the sole option of the Corporation. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted by any holder thereof, without any further consideration, at any time, into 1.11 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Rate”). In addition, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the Conversion

Rate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

(i) The shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall trade at a price of over $1.75 per share (as adjusted for stock splits or other events which would result in an adjustment of the conversion rate) for a period in excess of thirty (30) consecutive trading days and the shares of the Company’s Common Stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock are either (i) included in an effective registration statement or (ii) eligible to be traded pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration.

 

(ii) The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally for the election of directors.

 

(iii) The merger of the Company which results in the shareholders of the Company prior to the merger owning less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company following the merger.

 

(iv) An underwritten initial public offering of the Company’s shares with gross proceeds of at least $50,000,000.

 

The Company shall mandatorily redeem all shares of Series C Preferred Stock which remain issued and outstanding at January 31, 2019 at a price equal to the sum of the Original Issue Price and the aggregate amount of any unpaid Cumulative Preferred Dividends attributable to such shares. Such redemption shall be made only to the extent the Company has funds legally available for such redemption as of the Redemption Date.

COMMON STOCK:

 

On February 15, 2012. A 35 for one forward stock split of the Company’s Common Stock par value $0.001 became effective

 

19
 

  

Beginning in February 2012, in connection with the acquisition of Pan American, the Company commenced a private placement offering of up to a maximum of 6,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of 1 share of common stock and 1 warrant to acquire 1 share of common stock of the Company, with an offering price of $0.75 per unit. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and an exercise period of 3 years from the date of issuance. As part of the offering, the Company agreed to pay commissions of 10% of the gross funds raised. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had raised gross funds of approximately $2,656,250 and had accrued commission payable of approximately $265,000, included in accrued expenses. In addition, the Company had one signed private placement commitment of $500,000 for 666,666 units which was subsequently cancelled.

 

On March 28, 2012, the Company’s then-majority investor cancelled 66,500,000 shares of common stock in return for no consideration.

 

In May 2012 the Board of Directors adopted a stock compensation plan. The plan allows the Company to issue shares of common stock, options to purchase common stock or stock appreciation rights to employees, directors and consultants employed by the Company. The number of shares of common stock issuable under the plan is determined each January 1, such that the plan may issue shares of common stock or instruments to acquire common stock of the Company up to 15% of the then outstanding common stock of the Company. No awards were granted or outstanding during the period ending December 31, 2012.

 

In July 2012, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock as compensation for investor relations services. The stock was valued at its trading price of $0.86 per share on the date of the agreement.

 

On March 11, 2013, Marvin Markman converted 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 111,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

On December 9, 2013, Varexco Development, LLC converted 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 550,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

We will need substantial additional capital to support our proposed future energy operations or should we choose to engage in a different line of business. No representation is made that any funds will be available when needed. In the event funds cannot be raised when needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan, may never achieve sales or royalty income, and could fail in business as a result of these uncertainties.

 

Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2012 

 

In February 2012, we entered the oil and gas exploration and development industry upon our acquisition of Pan American Oil Company, LLC, which has leasehold interests in approximately 4500 gross acres in the Edwards formation in Caldwell and Guadeloupe counties in Texas. For the year ended December 31, 2013 our net loss from operations increased by approximately $10,429,357 to $13,315,973 from $2,886,616 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increased loss can be attributed to the following:

 

·An increase in leasehold operating and workover expense of $685,815 over fiscal year 2012 levels. The increase in leasehold operating expenses was the result of an increase in workover activity. The workover activity was an attempt to re-stimulate additional production in a number of wells that had incurred problems of sediment buildup which had resulted in reduced production during 2013.

 

·An increase of $10,633,269 in depreciation, amortization and impairment expense over fiscal year 2012 levels. Included in depreciation, amortization and impairment in 2013 is an impairment charge for $10,607,064, which resulted from the difference in carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas assets at December 31, 2013 and the expected value of the 10% carried working interest plus divestiture of certain liabilities.

 

Partially offset by a decrease of $668,114 in professional fees from fiscal year 2012 levels.

 

20
 

 

Our revenues from the sale of oil and gas increased slightly over fiscal year 2012 levels, with revenues of $120,153 in fiscal year 2013 compared to $101,556 in fiscal year 2012. Revenues were attributable to our acquisition of leasehold rights from Eagle Ford Oil Co, Inc.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2013, our general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $203,016 to $614,856 from $817,872 in the year ended December 31, 2012. The reduction of general and administrative expenses in 2013 was primarily the result of reduced consulting expenses in 2013 from 2012 of approximately $200,000.

 

 In the year ended December 31, 2013, our professional fee expenses decreased to $605,316 from $1,273,430 in the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to non-recurring expenses with respect to certain regulatory requirements as a public company and our acquisition of properties from Pan American Oil Company, LLC, the leasehold rights from Numa Luling, LLC and the leasehold rights from Eagle Ford Oil Co, Inc. which occurred in fiscal year 2012.

 

Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization and Impairment expense increased in the year ended December 31, 2013 to $10,730,753 from $97,484 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to incurring an impairment charge at December 31, 2013 amounting to $10,607,064.

 

Interest expense increased in the year ended December 31, 2013 by approximately $244,910 to $812,751 from $567,841 in the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was the result of increased borrowings and the related amortization of deferred loan fees and the accretion from the asset retirement obligation we incurred in connection with the purchase of the leasehold rights from Eagle Ford Oil Co, Inc. 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity

 

As of December 31, 2013 we had $-0- in cash, a working capital deficit of $9,452,654 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $17,957,915. Total Stockholders’ deficit at December 31, 2013 was approximately $11,731,475. Total debt, including advances and other notes payable at December 31, 2013 and excluding discounts on notes and other liabilities, was approximately $10.072 million, a change of $3,164 million from approximately $6.908 million at December 31, 2012. Our operating activities used $1,656,982 in cash for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our investing activities used $64,086. We believe that we do not have sufficient cash on hand to fund all of our projected development activities for the next twelve months. If we are unable to raise sufficient cash, we may need to curtail certain development activities.

 

Due to our sale of substantially all of our working interests in oil and gas leaseholds in February 2014 to Eagle Ford and the retention of a 10% carried working interest in those same fields, we expect to be able to substantially curtail our outgoing cash flows during 2014 and beyond with respect to these oil and gas leaseholds. We will not be responsible for any capital calls in regards to any new drilling or workover programs and will only be responsible for our 10% share of leasehold operating costs. We will however be able to fully participate through our 10% carried working interest in any upside should Eagle Ford be able to successfully complete any new drilling or workover programs. Due to our now having a carried working interest, we will no longer be consulted by Eagle Ford as it contemplates any new drilling or workover projects.

 

Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimated. To the extent management’s estimates prove to be incorrect, financial results for future periods may be adversely affected. Significant estimates and assumptions contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include management’s estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, amortization of intangible assets, and the fair values of options and warrant included in the determination of debt discounts and share based compensation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Rio Bravo Oil, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rio Bravo Oil, Inc. (Successor) as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ (deficit) Equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from inception on June 9, 2010 through December 31, 2013 (Successor period). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the aforementioned Successor consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rio Bravo Oil, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the Successor period, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss from operations since inception and its current liabilities exceed its total current assets. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

As discussed in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective February 14, 2013, Rio Bravo Oil, Inc. acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of Pan American Oil Company, LLC in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. As a result of the acquisition, the financial information for the periods after the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than that for the periods before the acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable.

RIO BRAVO OIL, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

 

Nature of Operations and Presentation

 

These financial statements include the accounts of Rio Bravo Oil, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Soton Holdings Group, Inc., which was formed on June 9, 2010 in the state of Nevada and its wholly-owned subsidiary Pan American Oil Company, LLC. Except where the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refers to Rio Bravo Oil, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary Pan American Oil Company, LLC.

 

As described in more detail later in this document, the Company acquired Pan American Oil Company, LLC on February 14, 2012. Prior to that acquisition the Company was a shell company with limited or no operations. Under Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules when a registrant succeeds to substantially all of the business (or a separately identifiable line of business) of another entity (or group of entities) and the registrant's own operations before the succession appear insignificant relative to the operations assumed or acquired - the registrant is required to present financial information for the acquired entity (the “predecessor”) for all comparable periods prior to the date of acquisition being presented before the succession.

 

Therefore we are providing certain additional information in our financial statements regarding the predecessor businesses for periods prior to February 14, 2012. Pan American Oil Company, LLC, is considered a predecessor, Also, Pan American Oil Company, LLC purchased certain oil and gas leasehold interests from Rio Bravo Oil, LLC on February 13, 2012 prior to being acquired by the Company and therefore those leasehold interests are also considered a predecessor. Collectively, Pan American Oil Company, LLC and the leasehold interests acquired from Rio Bravo Oil, LLC is referred to as the “Predecessor Business” This financial information (for which intercompany transactions between the predecessors have been eliminated) for the period prior to February 14, 2012 is labeled “Predecessor Business” and the Company has placed a heavy black line between it and the Company’s (also referred to as the successor) information to differentiate it from the Company’s financial information.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has incurred significant operating losses since its inception and has an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2013 of approximately $21.6 million. In addition, as of December 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $9.45 million and is currently unable to satisfy it’s obligations when they come due. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Implementation of the Company’s plans and its ability to continue as a going concern depend upon its securing substantial additional financing.

 

The Company has only enough cash to operate into May 2014. Management’s plans include efforts to obtain additional capital and to seek out new opportunities in the oil and gas space or to abandon the oil and gas industry and to seek out other industries in which it could find possible acquisition targets, although no assurances can be given about the Company’s ability to obtain such capital or to acquire other businesses. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing or a suitable candidate to merge with, it will be unable to continue its drilling plans and other activities and may be forced to cease operations. The consolidated financial statements presented herein do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 2 - MERGER WITH PAN AMERICAN OIL COMPANY, LLC

 

On February 14, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding member interests of Pan American Oil Company, LLC (“Pan Am”) at which time Pan Am became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price of the member interests of Pan Am was 5,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock (see Note 8) plus the assumption of certain liabilities of Pan Am. Liabilities that were not assumed by the Company primarily consisted of a liability to deliver $500,000 worth of preferred shares, from an earlier acquisition by Pan Am (see below). This liability was distributed to the members of Pan Am immediately prior to the acquisition of Pan Am by the Company. The acquisition of Pan Am allowed the Company to enter the oil and gas industry and gain access to oil and gas leaseholds covering approximately 4,500 acres gross (2,143 net) within the Edwards formation in Texas. The Company acquired an approximate 63.5%/57% working interest (before/after pay out) and approximate 38% net revenue interest (after pay out) in the Edwards formation leaseholds in Caldwell and Guadeloupe counties in Texas. Immediately following the acquisition the Company changed its year end to December 31 to conform with that of Pan Am.

 

F-11
 

 

RIO BRAVO OIL, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Immediately prior to the merger with the Company, Pan Am consummated an acquisition of oil and gas leasehold interests in the Edwards formation from Rio Bravo Oil, LLC (“Rio LLC”), a company with common ownership and control with Pan Am. The purchase price of the leasehold interests was $1.6 million which consisted of approximately $966,000 of cash and payment of expenses on behalf of Rio LLC, a payable to Rio LLC of approximately $120,000 (of which $113,000 was paid in 2012) and assumption of a payable to the operator of the Edwards formation leaseholds of approximately $364,000. Because the two companies were under common control, the acquisition of these assets were reflected at their historical basis of Rio LLC by Pan Am, with the excess consideration being treated as a distribution to a member of Rio LLC as reflected under the Predecessor Business caption on the balance sheet presented in this document. As a result of application of the purchase method of accounting, which is based on the amount of consideration paid, these same assets are reflected using a stepped up basis in the Company’s balance sheet. Thus the Company’s financial statements from the periods prior to the transaction date are not directly comparable to the financial statements for periods subsequent to the transaction date.

 

Under the purchase method of accounting, the Company assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values as of the transaction date. In connection with the merger, the consideration paid, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition, are summarized in the following tables:

 

   In thousands 
Net assets acquired     
Cash  $50 
Prepaids   22 
Proved oil and gas property   7,370 
Furniture, fixtures and equipment   292 
Other receivables   948 
   $8,682 
      
Liabilities     
Accounts payable & accrued expenses  $415 
Loans payable   87 
Bridge notes payable   1,900 
Other liabilities   770 
Asset retirement obligations   10 
   $3,182 
      
Net identifiable assets/consideration paid  $5,500 

 

Initial accounting for the acquisition was incomplete and provisional amounts were recorded in the initial interim periods after the acquisition. The amounts in the table above reflect updated information. The changes subsequent to the provisional information were a reduction of prepaid expenses of $150,000 and a corresponding reduction in accounts payable of $150,000.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements included herewith include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

 

 Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash equivalents.

 

Exploration Stage Enterprise

 

The Company has been devoting most of its efforts to exploring for and developing its oil and gas assets and, consequently, meets the definition of An Exploration Stage Enterprise, under the Accounting Standards Codification “Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises.” Certain additional financial information is required to be included in the financial statements for the period from inception of the Company to the current balance sheet date.

 

Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Principal useful lives are as follows:

 

Oil field equipment 7 years

 

Normal maintenance and repairs for property and equipment are charged to expense as incurred, while significant improvements are capitalized.

 

In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, as set forth in Topic 360 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification TM (the “FASC”), the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its non-oil and gas long-lived assets when events occur that indicate an impairment in value may exist. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.

 

Oil and Gas Properties

 

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas operations. Under this method all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized on a country-by-country basis into an individual country “cost pool.” The Company has operations in the United States and, consequently, only has one cost pool. No gains or losses are recognized upon the sale or other disposition of oil and natural gas properties except in transactions that would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. The costs of unevaluated oil and natural gas properties are excluded from the amortizable base until the time that either proven reserves are found or it has been determined that such properties are impaired. As properties become evaluated, the related costs are transferred to the proved oil and natural gas properties cost pool using full cost accounting.

 

F-13
 

 

RIO BRAVO OIL, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Under the full cost method the net book value of oil and natural gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed the estimated after-tax future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas properties, discounted at 10% (the “Ceiling Limitation”). In arriving at estimated future net revenues, estimated lease operating expenses, development costs, and certain production-related and ad valorem taxes are deducted. In calculating future net revenues, prices and costs are held constant indefinitely, except for changes that are fixed and determinable by existing contracts. Prices are determined using a simple arithmetic average of the first day of each month during the most recent twelve month period presented herein. The net book value is compared to the Ceiling Limitation on a quarterly and yearly basis. The excess, if any, of the net book value above the Ceiling Limitation is charged to expense in the period in which it occurs and is not subsequently reinstated.

 

Unit-of-production depletion is applied to capitalized costs of the full cost pool. Unit-of-production rates are based on the amount of proved reserves (both developed and undeveloped) of oil, gas and other minerals that are estimated to be recoverable from existing facilities using current operating methods.

 

The costs of investments in unproved properties and portions of costs associated with major development projects are excluded from the depreciation, depletion and amortization calculation until the project is evaluated.

 

Unproved property costs include leasehold costs, seismic costs and other costs incurred during the exploration phase. In areas where proved reserves are established, significant unproved properties are evaluated periodically, but not less than annually, for impairment. If a reduction in value has occurred, these property costs are considered impaired and are transferred to the related full cost pool. Unproved properties whose acquisition costs are not individually significant are aggregated, and the portion of such costs estimated to be ultimately nonproductive, based on experience, and is amortized to the full cost pool over an average holding period.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the following material estimates affecting the financial statements could significantly change in the coming year.

 

The most significant estimates pertain to proven oil and natural gas reserves and related cash flow estimates used in impairment tests of long-lived assets, estimates of future development, dismantlement and abandonment costs. Certain of these estimates require assumptions regarding future costs and expenses and future production rates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The Company’s revenue, profitability and future growth are substantially dependent upon the prevailing and future prices for oil and natural gas, which are dependent upon numerous factors beyond their control such as economic, political and regulatory developments and competition from other energy sources. The energy markets have historically been very volatile and there can be no assurance that oil and natural gas prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in oil and natural gas prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and quantities of oil and natural gas reserves that may be economically produced.

 

Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves and their values, future production rates and future costs and expenses are inherently uncertain for numerous reasons, including many factors beyond the Company’s control. Reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of data available and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. In addition, estimates of reserves may be revised based on actual production, results of subsequent exploration and development activities, prevailing commodity prices, operating cost and other factors. These revisions may be material and could materially affect future depletion, depreciation and amortization expense, dismantlement and abandonment costs, and impairment expense.

RIO BRAVO OIL, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are recognized when hydrocarbons have been delivered, the customer has taken title and payment is reasonably assured.

 

Taxes Associated with Revenue Producing Transactions

 

The Company reports taxes assessed by state, local and U.S. federal governmental authorities from the production and sale of hydrocarbons on a line item under operating expenses.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. The deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the deferred asset will not be realized.

 

The Company follows the guidance of FASC 740 Income Taxes, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should measure, recognize, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on income tax returns.

 

The Company recognizes the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has not taken any uncertain tax positions.

 

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Company provides for future asset retirement obligations on its resource properties and facilities based on estimates established by current legislation and industry practices. The asset retirement obligation is initially measured at fair value and capitalized as an asset retirement cost that is amortized on a straight line 15 year basis. The obligation is accreted through interest expense until it is expensed and or settled. The fair value of the obligation is estimated based on recent operations in the area and is then accreted using an expected inflation rate for oil field service costs. The Company recognizes revisions to either the timing or amount of the original estimate as increases or decreases to the asset retirement obligation.

 

The significant assumptions used to develop the expected liability during the period are as follows:

 

Average cost to remediate individual well sites: $4,000 to $7,000 (net to our interest)

Average gross salvage value expected from individual well sites remediated: $0 (net)

Expected inflation rate for oil field service costs: 5%

Risk weighted cost of credit: 8%

Average time to abandonment: 20 years

 

Actual retirement costs will be recorded against the obligation when incurred. Any difference between the recorded asset retirement obligation and the actual retirement costs incurred is recorded as a gain or loss in the settlement period.

 

Concentrations

 

Upon acquisition of oil and gas field interests, the Company also became a party to joint operating agreements (“JOA’s”) that define the rights and responsibilities third party operators and passive interest holders. Under the JOA, the third party operator is responsible for acquiring customers to sell the oil and gas produced and to either performing or contracting out to other third parties to perform services necessary to continue and maintain undeveloped acreage. Currently all of the Company’s leasehold interests have as their third party operator Eagle Ford Oil Co. Inc. which is controlled by the former managing member of both Pan Am Oil Co., LLC and Rio Bravo Oil, LLC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Concentrations of Market Risk

 

The future results of the company’s oil and natural gas operations will be affected by the market prices of oil and natural gas. The availability of a ready market for oil and natural gas products in the future will depend on numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including weather, imports, marketing of competitive fuels, proximity and capacity of oil and natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities, any oversupply or undersupply of oil, natural gas and liquid products, the regulatory environment, the economic environment, and other regional and political events, none of which can be predicted with certainty.

 

The Company operates in the exploration, development and production sector of the oil and gas industry. While certain of these customers and joint venture partners are affected by periodic downturns in the economy in general or in their specific segment of the oil and natural gas industry, the Company believes that its level of credit-related losses due to such economic fluctuations has been and will continue to be immaterial to the Company’s results of operations over the long-term.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. During the year the amount of bank deposits that exceeded Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance can be material.

 

Fair Value

 

As defined in authoritative guidance, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (“exit price”). To estimate fair value, the Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable.

 

The authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities ("Level 1" measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs ("Level 3" measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Other inputs that are observable, directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which the Company makes its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets and liabilities.

 

In instances in which multiple levels of inputs are used to measure fair value, hierarchy classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's 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.

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. Diluted loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares, using the treasury stock method. The Company’s calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes potential common shares as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 as the effect would be anti-dilutive (i.e. would reduce the loss per share). At December 31, 2013, warrants and preferred stock that were convertible into 12,639,453 shares of common stock were not included in the net loss per share calculation.

 

In accordance with SEC Accounting Series Release 280, the Company computes its income or loss applicable to common stock holders by subtracting dividends on preferred stock, including undeclared or unpaid dividends if cumulative, from it reported net loss and reports the same on the face of its statement of operations.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In the first quarter of 2013, the Company adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) that simplifies how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment. The amended guidance allows companies to first 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. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

During the fiscal first quarter of 2013, the Company adopted the FASB guidance related to additional reporting and disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Under this new guidance, companies are required to disclose the effect of significant reclassifications out of AOCI on the respective line items on the income statement if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional details about those amounts. This update became effective for annual and interim reporting periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION OF LEASEHOLD INTERESTS FROM NUMA LULING, LLC AND EAGLE FORD OIL CO, INC.

 

In June 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the leasehold interests held by Numa Luling, LLC (“Numa”). The purchase price of the leasehold interests acquired from Numa was 3,250,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock (see Note 8) plus the assumption of certain liabilities of Numa. The stock was valued at its then fair value upon issuance at $3,466,667. The acquisition of Numa increased the Company’s ownership interest in the Edwards formation leaseholds covering approximately 4,500 acres gross (2,143 net) in Texas. The Company acquired an approximate 25% working interest and approximate 18.75% net revenue interest (after pay out) in the Edwards formation leaseholds in Caldwell and Guadeloupe counties in Texas. The results of operation of Numa are included herein starting on June 1, 2012.

 

In May 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of 80% of the leasehold interests and approximately 500 wells held by Eagle Ford Oil Co, Inc. (“Eagle Ford”). The purchase price of the leasehold interests and wells acquired was approximately $2 million in cash plus a note for $225,000 plus the assumption of certain liabilities. Prior to the acquisition, Pan Am advanced Eagle Ford approximately $906,000 which was deducted from the $2 million cash payment required to be made to Eagle Ford. The Company assumed Eagle Ford’s liabilities to the previous leaseholders, the bankruptcy estate of Caltex Swabbing Co. Those liabilities were primarily $295,000 of the original upfront cash purchase price paid that was still owing to the bankruptcy estate and “Option B” liability that requires the Company to pay to the bankruptcy estate $5,000 per well drilled for the first 200 wells and in the event that 200 wells are not drilled on or before March 16, 2016, the difference between $1 million and the amount paid per well becomes immediately due. In 2012, the Company paid $171,798 of the $295,000 assumed liability. The Company recorded the fair value amount of the debt at the time of acquisition in the amount of $726,921 using an 8% risk free rate. The Company acquired 80% working interest and approximate 60% net revenue interest in the same acreage as the Edwards formation, but for all depths below and above the Edwards formation. Eagle Ford retained the third party operating rights to the Fields and also has 20% of its interest carried by the Company for all drilling and swabbing operations. The swabbing operation currently holds production for the entire leasehold. The results of operation for Eagle Ford are included herein starting on April 1, 2012.

NOTE 5 – DISPOSITION AND IMPAIRMENT OF OIL AND GAS INTERESTS

 

In the third quarter of 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Eagle Ford. The purchase price was $300,000 plus the assumption of all of its outstanding liabilities. Acquisition of Eagle Ford would increase the Company’s ownership in the leasehold interests acquired from an 80% working interest to a 100% working interest and it would also give them the ability to act as operator for their own and other leasehold interest should they choose to do so. The Company was required to pay $25,000 at close and then another $125,000 on or before September 30, 2013 with the final $150,000 due on or before October 31, 2013. The Company was only able to make the first $25,000 payment and a further $15,000 payment in the fourth quarter. By year end, the deal was abandoned and the Company wrote off the $40,000 investment. The failure to obtain financing for the deal led the Company at the end of 2013 to approve a plan to attempt to sell substantially all of its oil and gas assets in order to reduce its cash flow deficit from its leasehold working interests.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

In February 2014, the Company entered into a sale agreement with Eagle Ford, the current operator for its oil field interests, such that the Company sold the entirety of its working and net revenue interests in all of its oil field leaseholds and also sold all of its salvage equipment obtained through its acquisitions (see Notes 2 and 4). In addition, Eagle Ford agreed to take over all of the Company’s payables related to the leasehold interests and all of the remaining obligations incurred by the Company when it acquired its leasehold interests from Eagle Ford back in 2012. As consideration Eagle Ford issued a note to the Company in the amount of $500,000 plus a 10% carried working interest in the oil field leaseholds sold to Eagle Ford. The 10% carried working interest is subject to the existing 25% overriding royalty interests that exist on the leaseholds. The Company’s carried working interest means they are not obligated for any cash calls for any drilling or re-work drilling activity and are only obligated for 10% of the leasehold operating expenses. Because the plan for the sale of the assets was in place as of December 31, 2013, these financial statements show all of the assets and liabilities at all balance sheet dates presented as “held for sale”.

 

The following table shows the assets and liabilities held for sale as of December 31:

 

   2013   2012 
ASSETS HELD FOR SALE        
Proved oil and gas property   15,888,126    17,741,096 
Unproved oil and gas property   1,862,117    - 
Accumulated depletion and impairment   (10,657,849)   (24,377)
   Net oil and gas properties   7,092,394    17,716,719 
           
Well Equipment   668,349    668,346 
Accumulated depreciation   (170,391)   (73,107)
    Net property, plant and equipment   497,958    595,239 
           
Total assets held for sale   7,590,352    18,311,958 
           
LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE          
Operator Payable   486,088    126,947 
Eagle Ford asset purchase payable   190,000    190,000 
Due to the Caltex bankruptcy estate   123,202    123,202 
     Current liabilities held for sale   799,290    440,149 
           
Due to the Caltex bankruptcy estate   834,054    771,717 
Asset retirement obligations   2,683,807    2,485,007 
     Non-current liabilities held for sale   3,517,861    3,256,724 

 

Depletion expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $26,408 and $24,377 respectively.

 

Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $97,284 and $73,107, respectively.

 

The Company determined at December 31, 2013 that due to its plan of sale and the subsequent consummation in February 2014, that the sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and it’s proved reserves. The Company has thus included in its loss from operations an impairment charge at December 31, 2013 amounting to $10,607,064. The Company calculated the impairment as the difference between the carrying amount of its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2013 and the carrying value of the salvage equipment and the value of the liabilities assumed by Eagle Ford. The Company valued the note receivable of $500,000 at zero fair value. The Company also did not include certain liabilities that the Company took over from Eagle Ford during 2013 as the third parties were not party to the transaction. The Company has treated those liabilities in which it agreed with the third party to become liable for as having a continuing guarantee to those third parties. In addition, the Company performed a recalculation of the value of its proved reserves under the 10% carried working interest it obtained in the sale. The Company valued those reserves at $1,571,000. The excess of the liabilities transferred to Eagle Ford against the value of the salvage equipment over and above the $1,571,000 in proved reserves was $1,862,117, which the Company has moved to unproved reserves as of December 31, 2013.

NOTE 7 - NOTES AND ADVANCES PAYABLE

 

On December 22, 2012, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $200,000 to Michael J. Garnick, a stockholder. The promissory note accrued interest at 10% per annum and was due on February 15, 2012.  As a condition for issuing the promissory note, the Company was obligated to issue 90,000 shares of its common stock to Michael J. Garnick. The relative fair value of the 90,000 shares of $750 was recognized as a discount to the debt. The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the term of the promissory note. The note was repaid in full in March 2012.

 

In connection with the acquisition of Pan Am the Company acquired certain advances payable and short term bridge notes in the principal amount of $1,900,000 from two unaffiliated entities. Of the $1,900,000 borrowed, $600,000 was evidenced by an unsecured promissory note, had an interest rate of 10% per annum and was repaid March 2012. The remaining $1,300,000 borrowed was evidenced by a series of loan agreements all with essentially the same terms; interest at the rate of 6% per annum, unsecured, and due on the earlier of December 31, 2012 or upon demand. As of December 31, 2013, $350,000 was due on this loan. The Company is currently in negotiations with the lender to extend the maturity date of the loan.

 

In addition, in 2011 Pan Am was advanced approximately $90,000 by a then related party. The advance is non-interest bearing, is unsecured and due on demand and as of December 31, 2013 the balance the Company owed is $90,704.

 

On February 24, 2012, the Company received gross proceeds of $2.5 million from the sale of two promissory notes to two unrelated entities. The notes mature on December 31, 2014, bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, are unsecured and are convertible into up to 2.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain adjustments, at the option of the holders. In addition, should the Company’s common stock trade above $2.50 for a period of 30 or more consecutive trading days, the notes and all accrued and unpaid interest automatically convert into common stock of the Company, at the conversion rate then in effect. The Company determined that at issuance, no beneficial conversion feature was present.

 

In connection with the $2.5 million notes noted above, the Company paid a 10% fee to and unrelated third party who helped facilitate the transaction. The fee is being amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the loans. Through December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013 the Company amortized approximately $73,529 and $115,988 to interest expense. At December 31, 2013, the balance the Company owed was $2.5 million.

 

On April 30, 2012, the Company received gross proceeds of $750,000 from the sale of a promissory note that matures on April 30, 2017, is unsecured and bears interest at the rate of 3% per annum. The note contains conversion privileges such that the holder may convert at any time into common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of $0.75 per share. The conversion feature includes standard anti-dilution provisions. The Company recorded a discount of $150,000 as a result of the beneficial conversion feature, and amortized approximately $13,829 of the discount through December 31, 2012. No discount was amortized in 2013 as it was immaterial. The balance owed at December 31, 2013 was $750,000.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

On May 21, 2012, the Company received gross proceeds of $300,000 from the sale of a promissory note that originally matured on the earlier of December 31, 2012 or upon the Company raising $1,500,000 in debt or equity after the sale of the note, bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum and is unsecured. On December 24, 2012, the maturity date of the note was extended until March 31, 2013. In combination with the $750,000 note described above, the Company paid fees totaling $110,000 to acquire these loans. Since the original loans both had maturity dates of December 31, 2012, the entire fee was amortized to interest expense during 2012. The amount owed at December 31, 2013 was $300,000. The Company is attempting to negotiate an extension of the maturity date of this note.

 

In October 2012 through December 2012 the Company received gross proceeds of $ 1,635,000 from the sale of promissory notes to two stockholders that mature on the earlier of December 31, 2013 or upon the Company raising $1,500,000 in debt or equity after the sale of the notes. The notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and are unsecured. During 2013, the Company borrowed an additional $1,267,600 from the same two stockholders on essentially the same terms with maturity dates ranging from January 2014, through September 2014. The amount owed at December 31, 2013 was $2,902,600. The Company is attempting to negotiate an extension of the maturity date of these notes.

 

On May 25, 2012 the Company issued a note as part of the purchase price to acquire the 80% interest in the Eagle Ford Oil Co., Inc. oil and gas leaseholds (see Note 4 and 6) in the amount of $225,000 that matured on December 31, 2013, was unsecured and bears interest at the rate 5% per annum. As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013 the unpaid balance of the loan was $190,000.

 

In January 2013, the Company and 0947388 BC Ltd. (“094”) entered into a letter of intent for 094 to farm into the Edwards formation assets acquired through its acquisition of Pan American Oil Company, LLC (see Note 2) and Numa Luling, LLC (see Note 4) and also the 80% interest in certain leasehold interests acquired from Eagle Ford Oil Co., Inc. (see Note 4). The Company and 094 were unable to successfully negotiate a farm-in by 094. At the time of entering the letter of intent, 094 paid a deposit of $300,000. That deposit remains outstanding as of December 31, 2013 and is included in short term notes payable.

 

In March and April 2013, the Company received gross proceeds of $110,000 from an unrelated third party and issued promissory notes in the same amount. Those notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum, are unsecured and mature on the earlier of the one year anniversary of upon the Company obtaining $1.5 mm in financing.

 

On August 1, 2013, the Company entered into a secured promissory note with HII Technologies for $290,000. The Company entered into the promissory note to forestall mechanics lien issues with the Company’s leaseholds. HII Technologies was a drilling supplier for Eagle Ford who because of its own financial stress, had been unable to timely pay its suppliers, including HII Technologies. The Company and Eagle Ford agreed to reduce the Company’s operator payable to Eagle Ford by the same amount of the promissory note. The loan agreement bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum and matures on or before July 31, 2014. The loan is secured by a lien on the Company leasehold interest in 204 acres in Caldwell County, Texas (see Note 6).

 

NOTE 8 - PREFERRED STOCK

 

Series A

 

In connection with the acquisition of Pan Am, the Company issued 5,500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock as partial consideration for the purchase. The Series A preferred stock had an initial issue price of $1 per share and accrues a dividend quarterly to each holder at the rate of 3% per annum based on the original issue price, payable quarterly in cash or in kind. Series A preferred holders are required to have received all dividends before any dividend on common stock may be issued. The Series A preferred ranks senior to common stock in the event of a liquidation or winding up of the Company. The Series A preferred may be converted in whole or in part at any time at the option of the holder at the rate of 1 common share for each Series A Preferred, subject to adjustments as defined in the Series A certificate of designation. In addition, should the common stock of the Company trade in any over the counter market above $1.75 per share for a period of at least 30 consecutive trading days, the Company have an initial public offering of any class of securities in which gross proceeds are in excess of $50 million or consummate a merger in which the existing Company shareholders obtain less than 50% of the voting control of the combined entity, then the Series A preferred will automatically convert into the number of shares of common stock as the then conversion rate indicates. In the event that holders elect not to convert their Series A preferred or no automatic conversion is triggered, on January 31, 2019, the Series A preferred will become mandatorily redeemable for cash at its original issue price plus any unpaid dividends accrued as of that date. On the date of issuance, the Company determined that no beneficial conversion feature was present. As of December 31, 2013 the Company accrued $309,375 of Series A dividends.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

In March 2012, the Company commenced a separate offering of up to 10 million shares of Series A preferred stock in a private placement. As of December 31, 2013, no funds had yet been raised under the offering.

 

Series B

 

In connection with the acquisition of Numa (see Note 4), the Company issued 3,250,000 shares of Series B preferred stock as partial consideration for the purchase. The Series B preferred stock had an initial issue (also liquidation price) of $1 per share. The Series B ranks junior to the Series A preferred stock in respect to the payment of dividends but senior to shares of common stock. The Series B is non-cumulative and dividends must be declared before they become payable by the Company. The Series B ranks pari-passu in respect to liquidation and all other matters to the Series A preferred stock. Each share of Series B preferred stock may be converted at any time by the holder into 1.33 shares of common stock. In the event that the Company’s common stock trades above $1.75 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company closes on a qualified sale (as defined in the agreement) in which the consideration to be received is greater than $50 million, or the Company has an underwritten public offering with proceeds in excess of $50 million, the Series B preferred stock automatically converts into common stock at the rate of 1.33 common shares for each Series B share. The holders also have standard anti-dilution protections. On the date of issuance, the Company determined that no beneficial conversion feature was present.

 

Series C

 

The Board of Directors adopted a resolution on July 30, 2013 authorizing 12,000,000 shares of Series C convertible redeemable preferred stock with a par value of $.001. The original issuance price was $1.00 per share. The Series C Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution, rank junior to or pari passau to other classes or series of preferred stock and prior to common stock.

 

The Corporation shall pay the holders of Series C Preferred Stock a dividend in an amount equal to five percent (5%) per annum multiplied by the Original Issue Price of the Series C Preferred Stock. Cumulative Preferred Dividends shall be payable in quarterly installments in cash or in kind, at the sole option of the Corporation.

 

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted by any holder thereof, without any further consideration, at any time, into 1.11 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Rate”).

     

Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the Conversion Rate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

  (i) The shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock shall trade at a price of over $1.75 per share (as adjusted for stock splits or other events which would result in an adjustment of the Conversion rate) for a period in excess of thirty (30) consecutive trading days and the shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock are either (i) included in an effective registration statement or (ii) eligible to be traded pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration.

 

  (ii) The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally for the election of directors..

  (iv) An underwritten initial public offering of the Company’s shares with gross proceeds of at least $50,000,000.

 

The conversion rate will be adjusted for the following:

 

  · Stock Splits and Combinations.

 

  · Certain Dividends and Distributions.

 

  · Other Dividends and Distributions.

 

  · Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution.

 

  · Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets.

 

  · Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities other than the Series C Preferred Stock, or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, shall be issued or sold in connection with a merger or consolidation.

  

The Corporation shall mandatorily redeem all shares of Series C Preferred Stock which remain issued and outstanding at January 31, 2019 (“Redemption Date”) at a price equal to the sum of the Original Issue Price and the aggregate amount of any unpaid Cumulative Preferred Dividends attributable to such shares. Such redemption shall be made only to the extent the Corporation has funds legally available for such redemption as of the Redemption Date.

 

Except as otherwise provided herein or required by law, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote together as a single class with the holders of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, upon any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote. The holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which each share of Series C Preferred Stock held by such holders at the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken, is convertible.

 

During the quarter ending September 30, 2012 the Company raised gross proceeds of $492,000 and issued 492,000 shares of Series C preferred stock. In addition, the Company issued one warrant for each share of Series C preferred stock sold in the offering.  Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and expires 3 years from the date of issuance.

 

 NOTE 9 - COMMON STOCK

 

On December 16, 2011, the Company filed a Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14-C disclosing that the holder of a majority of the Company’s common stock voted to (i) approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to (a) change the name of the Company from Soton Holdings Group, Inc. to “Rio Bravo Oil, Inc.”, (b) increase the authorized common stock from 75,000,000 shares, par value $0.001, to 120,000,000 shares, par value $0.001, and (c) create a class of preferred stock, consisting of 30,000,000 shares, par value $0.001, the rights, privileges, and preferences of which may be set by the Company’s Board of Directors without further shareholder approval; and (ii) grant the Board of Directors the authority to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation in the future for the purpose of effectuating a forward stock split at a ratio between 2-for-1 and 30-for-1 without further approval by the shareholders.  These actions were approved by the holder of a majority of the Company’s voting securities. The name change, increase in authorized common stock and authorized preferred stock took effect with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada on January 19, 2012, with the name change to Rio Bravo Oil, Inc. recognized by FINRA and the OTC Bulletin Board effective January 26, 2013. The forward stock split became effective as of February 15, 2012. All share amounts have been restated for the forwards stock split since inception.

Beginning in February 2012, in connection with the acquisition of Pan Am, the Company commenced a private placement offering of up to a maximum of 6,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of 1 share of common stock and 1 warrant to acquire 1 share of common stock of the Company, with an offering price of $0.75 per unit. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and an exercise period of 3 years from the date of issuance. As part of the offering, the Company agreed to pay commissions of 10% of the gross funds raised. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had raised gross funds of approximately $2,656,250 and had accrued commission payable of approximately $265,000, included in accrued expenses. In addition, the Company had one signed private placement commitment of $500,000 for 666,666 units which was subsequently cancelled. In connection with the offering the Company incurred certain professional fee costs of approximately $41,000, which has been offset against the proceeds received in additional paid in capital.

 

On March 28, 2012, the Company’s majority investor cancelled 66,500,000 shares of common stock in return for no consideration.

 

In May 2012 the Board of Directors adopted a stock compensation plan. The plan allows the Company to issue shares of common stock, options to purchase common stock or stock appreciation rights to employees, directors and consultants employed by the Company. The number of shares of common stock issuable under the plan is determined each January 1, such that the plan may issue shares of common stock or instruments to acquire common stock of the Company up to 15% of the then outstanding common stock of the Company. No awards were granted or outstanding during the period ending December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013.

 

In July 2012, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock as compensation for investor relations services. The stock was valued at its trading price of $0.86 per share on the date of the agreement.

 

In January 2013, one holder of the Series A preferred stock converted 110,000 shares of Series A preferred stock into 110,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

 

Warrants

 

The Company issued a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to a consultant for services rendered in 2012. The exercise price of the warrant is $1.50 and expires in three years. The warrant was valued using a Black Scholes model based on a fair value of the stock of $.99 per share, a volatility of 28.20 and a risk free rate of .005%. The amount of the consulting expense recorded was $33,650.

 

No warrants were issued in 2013.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

For the year ended December 31, 2013 and the three months ended December 31, 2012, the provision for income taxes differs from the expected tax provision computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate to income before taxes as a result of the following:

 

   2013   2012 
Statutory U.S. federal rate   35%   35%
Permanent differences   0%   0%
Valuation allowance   35%   35%
Provision for income tax expense (benefit)   0%   0%

 

The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

 

   2013   2012 
Deferred Tax Assets:        
Net Operating Loss Carryforwards  $2,401,000   $1,204,000 
Non-cash compensation   -    - 
Provision for fixed asset impairment   3,683,000    - 
Accrued Liabilities   -    - 
           
Total Deferred Tax Assets   6,084,000    1,204,000 
Deferred Tax Liabilities:          
Total Deferred Tax Liabilities   -    - 
Net Deferred Tax Asset   6,084,000    1,204,000 
Valuation Allowance   (6,084,000)   (1,204,000)
Net Deferred Tax Asset  $-   $- 

 

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards for U.S. federal income tax of approximately $6,940,000 and $3,440,000, which will begin to expire in 2030.

 

The Company continually assesses both positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets can be realized prior to their expiration. Management monitors Company-specific, industry and worldwide economic factors and assesses the likelihood that the Company’s NOL’s and other deferred tax attributes in the United States, state and local tax jurisdictions will be utilized prior to their expiration. The Company establishes a valuation allowance to reduce any net deferred tax assets for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. At December 31, 2013, the Company had a valuation allowance of $6.084 million related to its net deferred tax assets.

 

For financial reporting purposes, the entire amount of deferred tax assets related principally to the net operating loss carry forwards has been offset by a valuation allowance due to uncertainty regarding the realization of the assets. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $4.88 million and $1.197 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

General

 

There have been significant changes in the U.S. economy, oil and gas prices and the finance industry which have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the Company in its attempt to obtain financing or in its process to produce commercially feasible gas exploration or production.

 

Federal, state and local authorities regulate the oil and gas industry. In particular, gas and oil production operations and economies are affected by environmental protection statutes, tax statutes and other laws and regulations relating to the petroleum industry, as well as changes in such laws, changing administrative regulations and the interpretations and application of such laws, rules and regulations. The Company believes it is in compliance with all federal, state and local laws, regulations, and orders applicable to the Company and its properties and operations, the violation of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its financial condition.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Operating Hazards and Insurance

 

The gas and oil business involves a variety of operating risks, including the risk of fire, explosions, blow-outs, pipe failure, abnormally pressured formation, and environmental hazards such as oil spills, gas leaks, ruptures or discharges of toxic gases, the occurrence of any of which could result in substantial losses to the Company due to injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, cleanup responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties, and suspension of operations.

 

The Company is a passive working and net revenue interest owner and operator in the oil and gas industry. As such, the Company to date has not acquired its own insurance coverage over its passive interests in the properties; instead the Company has relied on the third party operators for its properties to maintain insurance to cover its operations.

 

There can be no assurance that insurance, if any, will be adequate to cover any losses or exposure to liability. Although the Company believes the policies obtained by the third party operators provide coverage in scope and in amounts customary in the industry, they do not provide complete coverage against all operating risks. An uninsured or partially insured claim, if successful and of significant magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial condition via its contractual liability to the prospect.

 

Title to Properties

 

The Company’s practice has been to acquire or have its members contribute ownership or leasehold rights to oil and natural gas properties from third parties. The Company’s existing rights are dependent on those previous third parties having obtained valid title to the properties. Prior to the commencement of oil or gas drilling operations on those properties, the third parties customarily conduct a title examination. The Company generally does not conduct examinations of title prior to obtaining its interests in its operations, but rely on representations from the third parties that they have good, valid and enforceable title to the oil and gas properties. Based upon the foregoing, the Company believes it has satisfactory title to their producing properties in accordance with customary practices in the oil and gas industry. The Company is not aware of any title deficiencies as of the date of these financial statements.

 

Potential Loss of Oil and Gas Interests/Cash Calls

 

The Company has agreed to be bound by the existing joint operating agreements with various operators for the drilling of oil and gas properties, and still owes certain operator payments on drilling wells. In addition, the Company might be subject to future cash calls due to (1) the drilling of any new well or wells on drilling sites; (2) rework or recompletion of a well; and (3) deepening or plugging back of dry holes, etc. If the Company does not pay delinquent amounts due or its share of future authorization for expenditures invoices, it may forfeit all of its rights in certain of its interests on the applicable prospects and any related profits. If one or more of the other members of the prospects fail to pay their share of the prospect costs, the Company may need to pay additional funds to protect its investments.

 

NOTE 12 - NON CASH DISCLOSURES NOT MADE ELSEWHERE

 

No amounts were paid for income taxes in the periods presented in these financial statements.

 

In 2013 because of the cash flow difficulties of the operator of the Company’s oil and gas leaseholds, the Company agreed to take over a drilling payable of the operator and signed a note payable to HII Technologies, Inc. (the note is more fully described in Note 7) and the operator agreed to reduce the payable the Company owes to the operator by the same amount.

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In February 2014, the Company and Eagle Ford entered into an asset purchase agreement whereby the Company sold to Eagle Ford all of its interest in all of its oil and gas leaseholds. As consideration, the Company received a promissory note in the amount of $500,000 and Eagle Ford agreed to take over all of the associated liabilities of the Company in respect to those leaseholds. In addition, Eagle Ford conveyed to the Company an unencumbered 10% carried working interest in all of the leaseholds sold to Eagle Ford.

 

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company received gross proceeds of $89,000 that was advanced by a shareholder of Company. In addition, an unrelated third party advanced the Company an additional $37,000.

 

In March 2014, one Series A preferred shareholder converted 500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock into 550,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

 

In March and April 2014, the CEO advanced the Company a total $11,000.

ESTIMATED NET QUANTITIES OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES (unaudited)

 

Users of this information should be aware that the process of estimating quantities of “proved” and “proved developed” natural gas and crude oil reserves is very complex, requiring significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of all available geological, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. The data for a given reservoir may also change substantially over time as a result of numerous factors including, but not limited to, additional development activity, evolving production history and continual reassessment of the viability of production under varying economic conditions. Consequently, material revisions to existing reserve estimates occur from time to time. Although every reasonable effort is made to ensure that reserve estimates reported represent the most accurate assessments possible, the significance of the subjective decisions required and variances in available data for various reservoirs make these estimates generally less precise than other estimates presented in connection with financial statements.

 

Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of natural gas, crude oil and condensate, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations prior to the time at which contacts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the Company must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

 

Proved developed reserves are proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and under existing economic and operating conditions.

The following tables set forth our net proved oil and gas reserves, including the changes therein, and net proved developed reserves at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS RELATING TO PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES — (unaudited)

 

The following information has been developed utilizing procedures prescribed by FASC Topic 932 and based on crude oil reserve and production volumes estimated by the Company’s engineering staff. It may be useful for certain comparative purposes, but should not be solely relied upon in evaluating the Company or its performance. Further, information contained in the following table should not be considered as representative of realistic assessments of future cash flows, nor should the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows be viewed as representative of the current value of the Company.

 

F-28
 

 

RIO BRAVO OIL, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Company believes that the following factors should be taken into account in reviewing the following information: (1) future costs and selling prices will probably differ from those required to be used in these calculations; (2) actual rates of production achieved in future years may vary significantly from the rate of production assumed in the calculations; (3) selection of a 10% discount rate is arbitrary and may not be reasonable as a measure of the relative risk inherent in realizing future net oil and gas revenues; and (4) future net revenues may be subject to different rates of income taxation.

 

Under the Standardized Measure, future cash inflows were estimated by applying the average first day price for each month during the period adjusted for fixed and determinable escalations to the estimated future production of period-end proven reserves. Future cash inflows were reduced by estimated future development, abandonment and production costs based on period-end costs in order to arrive at net cash flow before tax. Future income tax expenses have been computed by applying period-end statutory tax rates to aggregate future pre-tax net cash flows, reduced by the tax basis of the properties involved and tax carryforwards. Use of a 10% discount rate is required by FASC Topic 932.

 

Management does not rely solely upon the following information in making investment and operating decisions. Such decisions are based upon a wide range of factors, including estimates of probable as well as proven reserves and varying price and cost assumptions considered more representative of a range of possible economic conditions that may be anticipated.

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

 

None.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

(a)      Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (also our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company’s management, including the Company’s President (“President”) (the Company’s principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation the Company’s President and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2013 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 the assets of the company;

 

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

 

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

23
 

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  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.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

As of December 31, 2013, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below.  This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board was (a) the lack of a functioning audit committee, (b) there are insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements, (c) there is a lack of expertise with US generally accepted accounting principles and SEC rules and regulations for review of critical accounting areas and disclosures and material non-standard transactions and (d) lack of effective oversight during the financial close process resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.  The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our management in connection with the review of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Management believes that the material weakness set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results.  However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors, coupled with not having individuals on staff or retainer with a thorough knowledge of US GAAP and SEC rules and regulations and lack of effective oversight on the financial close process results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

 

This annual 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 temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only the management's report in this annual report.

 

(c)      Changes in Internal Controls

 

There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  

 

The Company’s management, including the Company’s President and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  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 or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

We do not currently have an audit committee financial expert, nor do we have an audit committee. Our entire board of directors handles the functions that would otherwise be handled by an audit committee. We do not currently have the capital resources to pay director fees to a qualified independent expert who would be willing to serve on our board and who would be willing to act as an audit committee financial expert. As our business expands and as we appoint others to our board of directors we expect that we will seek a qualified independent expert to become a member of our board of directors. Before retaining any such expert our board would make a determination as to whether such person is independent.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Act of 1934 requires the Company's officers and directors, and greater than 10% stockholders, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of its securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of the reports are required by SEC regulation to be furnished to the Company. Based on management's review of these reports during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, all reports required to be filed were filed on a timely basis.

 

Code of Ethics

 

Our board of directors has adopted a code of ethics that our officers, directors and any person who may perform similar functions is subject to. The Code of Ethics does not indicate the consequences of a breach of the code.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES

 

We do not have a separate audit committee. Our full board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee. Before an independent auditor is engaged by us to render audit or non-audit services, our board of directors pre-approves the engagement. Board of directors pre-approval of audit and non-audit services will not be required if the engagement for the services is entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by our board of directors regarding our engagement of the independent auditor, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, our board of directors is informed of each service provided, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of our board of directors' responsibilities under the Exchange Act to our management. Our board of directors may delegate to one or more designated members of our board of directors the authority to grant pre-approvals, provided such approvals are presented to the board of directors at a subsequent meeting. If our board of directors elects to establish pre-approval policies and procedures regarding non-audit services, the board of directors must be informed of each non-audit service provided by the independent auditor. Board of directors pre-approval of non-audit services, other than review and attest services, also will not be required if such services fall within available exceptions established by the SEC. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, 100% of audit-related services, tax services and other services performed by our independent auditors were pre-approved by our board of directors.

 

Our board has considered whether the services described above under the caption "All Other Fees", which are currently none, is compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.

 

The board approved all fees described above.
