Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2015 include the amount of TEHG and TGL, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and TAL, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes 

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 740 Accounting for Income Taxes, which provides for an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes.  Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributable to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated for income tax purposes.

 

In recording deferred income tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those deferred income tax assets would be realizable.  The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities and projected future taxable income for this determination.  The Company established a full valuation allowance and reduced its net deferred tax asset, principally related to the Company’s net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers, to zero as of September 30, 2015. The Company will continue to assess the valuation allowance against deferred income tax assets considering all available information obtained in future reporting periods.  If the Company achieves profitable operations in the future, it may reverse a portion of the valuation allowance in an amount at least sufficient to eliminate any tax provision in that period.  As a result of the acquisition of Solar n Stuff, the use of the NOL is limited under Section 382 of the IRS Rules and Regulations.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

 

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. We follow the “sales method” of accounting for oil and natural gas revenue, so we recognize revenue on all natural gas or crude oil sold to purchasers, regardless of whether the sales are proportionate to our ownership in the property. Actual sales of gas are based on sales, net of the associated volume charges for processing fees and for costs associated with delivery, transportation, marketing, and royalties in accordance with industry standards. Operating costs and taxes are recognized in the same period in which revenue is earned. Severance and ad valorem taxes are reflected as a component of lease operating expense.
