Reverse Acquisition of Eagle Ford

On June 20, 2011, Eagle Ford acquired all of the membership interests of Sandstone Energy, L.L.C. (Sandstone”) in exchange for 17,857,113 shares of common stock of Eagle Ford. Following the acquisition, the shares issued to the former owners of Sandstone constituted 82% of the Company’s common stock resulting in a change of control in which Sandstone controls Eagle Ford post-acquisition. The Acquisition is being accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” in which Sandstone is deemed to be the acquirer and Eagle Ford is deemed to be the acquiree (“Acquiree”). Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations reflected in the consolidated financial statements prior to the Acquisition are those of Sandstone and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Sandstone. The consolidated financial statements after completion of the Acquisition include the assets and liabilities of Sandstone and the Acquiree and the historical operations of Sandstone and the Acquiree and its subsidiaries from the closing date of the Acquisition.

The Acquisition has been treated as a recapitalization of the Company for financial accounting purposes. Sandstone is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and the historical financial statements of the Acquiree prior to the Acquisition will be replaced with the historical financial statements of Sandstone prior to the Acquisition in all future filings with the SEC.  In accordance with ASC 805, the assets and liabilities of the Acquiree at the date of the acquisition have been recorded at fair value.

 

The acquisition price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values with the excess being recorded in goodwill. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

       
Cash and equivalents
  $ 832  
Accounts receivable
    1,500  
Other current assets
    36,653

    253,671  
Goodwill
    4,641,061  
Total assets acquired
    4,933,717  
         
Accounts payable
    140,860  
Accrued liabilities
    559,765  
Convertible note, net of debt discount of $41,267
    503,733  
Notes payable
    1,918,709  
Notes payable – related parties
    35,077  
Asset retirement obligation
    311  
Total liabilities assumed
    3,158,455  
         
Net assets acquired
  $ 1,775,262  
         

The allocation of the purchase price was based on preliminary estimates and is provisional. Estimates and assumptions are subject to change upon the receipt of management’s review of the final amounts and final tax returns. This final evaluation of net assets acquired is expected to be completed as soon as a final accounting is performed but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Any future changes in the value of the net assets acquired will be offset by a corresponding change in goodwill.  As of June 30, 2011, Eagle Ford evaluated goodwill for impairment and determined the goodwill was fully impaired.

Subsequent purchase of remaining 50% member interests

On August 8 and August 11, 2011, Eagle Ford Oil & Gas Corp. acquired the remaining 50% interests in each of SSEP1, SSEP2 and SSEP3 in exchange for 8,970,120 shares of Eagle Ford common stock valued at $2,780,737 based on the trading price on the dates of the transactions.  Eagle Ford now owns 100% of the interests in these ventures. As a result of the acquisition of the SSEP interests, the Company currently owns the entire 38.75% working interest on 2,315 acres located in Lee County, Texas.

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based on the unaudited historical financial statements of Eagle Ford and Sandstone after giving effect to the acquisition of Eagle Ford and the subsequent purchase of the remaining 50% interests in SSEP1, SSEP2, and SSEP3. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet represents the balances as of June 30, 2011 for Eagle Ford as reported in the June 30, 2011 consolidated balance sheet herein, and includes the additional purchase of the remaining 50% interests as if the purchase took place as of the beginning of the period.
