Notes to Financial Statements  
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]
NOTE
1
– BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended
December 31, 2019
and
2018
which are included on a Form
10
-K filed on
September 24, 2020.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods shown have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2020
are
not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 2019
and
2018
have been omitted.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our
100%
owned subsidiary, Alpha Energy Texas Operating, LLC. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company's system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that (
1
) recorded transactions are valid; (
2
) all valid transactions are recorded and (
3
) transactions are recorded in the period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company for the respective periods being presented.
 
Basic and Diluted Loss per share
 
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC
260
-
10,
"Earnings (Loss) per Share". Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the
three
months ended
September 30, 2020
and
2019,
there were
148,328
and
142,446
shares issuable from convertible credit line payable which were considered for their dilutive effects but concluded to be anti-dilutive, respectively. For the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2020
and
2019,
there were
148,328
and
142,446
shares issuable from convertible credit line payable which were considered for their dilutive effects, respectively.
 
The reconciliation of basic and diluted loss per share is as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into
three
levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
 
 
Level
1
– Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level
2
– Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level
3
– Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management's estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
 
The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, notes payable and convertible notes approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
 
 
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Not
Yet Adopted
 
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but
not
yet adopted, accounting standards, in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that
no
other pronouncements will have a significant effect on its financial statements.
 
Revision of
Prior Period Financial Statement
s
 
In
2020,
the Company identified errors in account balances in the Form
10Q
filed for the
nine
months period ended
September 30, 2019.
The following accounts were deemed to contain errors: accounts payable, derivative liability, common stock, additional paid in capital, operating expenses, interest expense and loss on derivative liabilities. The errors resulted from incorrect recording of stock-based compensation and overstatements of derivative liability and amortization of debt discount.
 
Based on an analysis of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
250
– “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“ASC
250”
) and Staff Accounting Bulletin
108
– “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB
108”
), the Company determined that these errors were immaterial to the previously issued financial statements, and as such
no
restatement was necessary. Correcting prior period financial statements for immaterial errors would
not
require previously filed reports to be amended. Such correction
may
be made the next time the registrant files the prior period financial statements. Accordingly, the misstatements were corrected in the consolidated balance sheet as of
September 30, 2019
and the consolidated statements of operations for the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019
and cash flows for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2019.
 
The tables below summarize previously reported amounts and the adjusted presentation of the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the affected periods:
