1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

Northern Minerals & Exploration Ltd. (the “Company”) is an emerging natural resource company operating in oil and gas production in central Texas and exploration for gold and silver in northern Nevada.

 

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on December 11, 2006 under the name Punchline Entertainment, Inc. On August 22, 2012, the Company’s board of directors approved an agreement and plan of merger to effect a name change of the Company from Punchline Entertainment, Inc. to Punchline Resources Ltd. On July 12, 2013, the stockholders approved an amendment to change the name of the Company from Punchline Resources Ltd. to Northern Mineral & Exploration Ltd. FINRA approved the name change on August 13, 2013.

 

On April 24, 2014, the previous Chief Executive Officer and Director, Ramzan Savji, resigned and Howard Siegel was appointed as the new Company President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Director. On March 16, 2015, Ivan Webb was appointed as Vice President and Director.

 

The Company is working on the following projects:

 

Coleman County, Texas – Three well rework/recompletion project

On October 14, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 75% working interest in the J.E. Richey lease. This lease area has six known productive formations. The existing three wells on the lease are fully equipped. There is spacing available for new drilling of two or more wells. The Company has been reworking the three wells and will start producing the oil and gas wells into the production tanks and gas gathering pipelines on the lease. On March 20, 2015, the Company sold a 37.5% working interest in the three wells.

 

Callahan County, Texas – Shallow Oil project

On July 7, 2014, the Company acquired a 75% working interest in the Isenhower lease. The Isenhower lease has three fully equipped wells completed in the Cook Sandstone at approximately 500 feet. The lease also has one approved water injection well and eight potential undrilled locations. The Company’s plan is to rework all three of the wells to place them back into production and drill new wells to fully develop the acreage.

 

Callahan County, Texas – Mississippi Reef project

On July 7, 2014, the Company acquired a 60% working interest in the J. Morgan lease. The J. Morgan lease is located in an area with multiple formations that are known to be oil and gas productive.

 

Winnemucca Mountain Gold Property, Nevada

The Winnemucca Mountain Property consists of a total 208 unpatented mineral claims in Humboldt County, in northwestern Nevada. Initial exploration completed by the Company has shown a series of steeply dipping quartz veins and further exploration is planned with the focus of defining the potential of one million plus ounces of gold equivalent on the property. Effective September 14, 2012, the Company holds an option to acquire an 80% interest in the claims of the property.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim consolidated financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2016. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s July 31, 2015 financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s 10-K Annual Report.

  

Going Concern and Liquidity Considerations

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements are prepared and presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, they do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of the carrying value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Since inception to date, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $921,555. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next six months ending July 31, 2016.

 

The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, revenues and obtaining additional financing to continue operations.

 

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
