NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN ANDORA ENERGY CORPORATION

 

On September 19, 2007, Signet completed the proposed business combination of Signet and Andora Energy Corporation (“Andora”). As part of the combination, each of the issued and outstanding shares of Signet common stock was exchanged for 0.296895028 shares of Andora common stock. The Company exchanged its 11,550,000 shares of Signet common stock for approximately 3,429,140 shares of common stock of Andora representing approximately 5.78% of the fully diluted shares of Andora. At that time, 2,349,321 shares of Andora common stock received by the Company were placed in an escrow account pursuant to an agreement with Valiant Trust Company, Andora and Signet. In connection with the Dynamo litigation claim, Andora was entitled to recover a claim of legal fees from the Company pursuant to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and after exhausting all appeals, which only allowed the escrowed shares to be released upon settlement of all claims. Pursuant to the agreement reached between the Company and Andora, all shares were released from escrow to the Company in February, 2010 after payment of 375,000 Andora shares owned by the Company to Andora.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 the Company issued 16,667 and 16,666 shares of Andora common stock to its Chief Executive Officer in lieu of $20,0000 in cash compensation due under his employment agreement.

 

In October, 2012 the Company agreed to issue a total of 308,780 Andora shares and $120,919 in cash to two creditors, one of which was its former Chief Executive Officer and current Chief Financial Officer, E. Jamie Schloss, who received 243,156 shares and $85,668 in cash, in settlement of $234,431 in claims.

 

The Company’s valuation of Andora is based on reserve reports furnished to the Company by Andora which the Company has relied upon in assessing the value of its investment in Andora. Virtually all of these reserves will require alternative methods of production to enable them to be realized as income. Such methods require substantial investment in plant and equipment to be effective. Andora may obtain equity financing in the future to finance its drilling operations and, in that event, the Company may sustain additional dilution to its equity interest in Andora.

 

At December 31, 2013 the Company owned 2,889,386 Andora shares valued at $1,629,614 (valued at $0.564 per share), which shares are approximately 3% of Andora’s total outstanding common shares on a fully diluted basis.
