NOTE 6 – OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES

 

On February 13, 2012, Spectral Capital Corporation (the "Company") closed its planned purchase of an oil and gas property in the Red Earth Region of Alberta, Canada, which property Spectral purchased from receivership though its newly formed Canadian subsidiary, Shamrock Oil & Gas Ltd. Spectral is the 60% owner of the Canadian subsidiary and its Canadian joint venture partner owns 40% of the subsidiary. The total purchase price for the property was $2,134,949, in the form of the assumption of secured and unsecured claims on the property. Additionally, Spectral has advanced $750,000 in working capital to its Canadian subsidiary to operate the property and service the assumed debts.  Spectral has the right, but not the obligation, to fund the project’s requirements on a first position secured creditor basis for up to $17,500,000 at 10%annual interest.  If Spectral fails to provide such financing within 24 months, Spectral’s operating joint venture partner may seek co-dilutive financing with Spectral having a right of first refusal on such financing.

 

On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Akoranga AG, a Company owned by the CEO of Spectral to transfer its ownership interests in the oil and gas properties for $950,000, the value of Spectral’s contributions to the project to date. In satisfaction of the purchase price, Akoranga agreed to offset liabilities of Spectral in the amount of $626,022.  The balance owing of $323,978 is non-interest bearing and is to be repaid within a one year period.

 

As part of the agreement, Akoranga, agreed to assume all liabilities of Shamrock Oil and Gas Ltd. as of December 31, 2012.  These liabilities had previously been recorded on the balance sheet of Spectral and as a result, the Company recognized a gain of $845,680 in 2012 on the transfer of liabilities related to the assumption.
