NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U. S.
Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the
interim period. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year. The unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together
with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operation, for the year ended March 31, 2009, contained in the Company’s March
31, 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has
experienced net losses since April 4, 2001 which losses have caused an
accumulated deficit of approximately $4,028,000 as of September 30, 2009. These
factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern.
Management
has been able, thus far, to finance the losses through a public offering,
private placements and obtaining operating funds from stockholders. The Company
is continuing to seek sources of financing. There are no assurances
that the Company will be successful in achieving its goals.
In view
of these conditions, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing or capital sources, to
meet its financing requirements, and ultimately to achieve profitable
operations. The Company is currently in the process of acquiring and developing
crude oil and natural gas leases. Management believes that its current and
future plans provide an opportunity to continue as a going concern. The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary
in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
NOTE
2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Reporting
Entity. Signature Exploration and Production
Corp. (“Signature” or “the Company”) was incorporated on April 4,
2001 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is authorized to issue
250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001. As of March 1, 2008, the
Company became an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and
development of crude oil and natural gas leases in the United States. We have
reported our Statement of Operations and Statement of Cash Flows from the
inception as an exploration stage company to the current reporting period of
September 30, 2009. The Company’s office is located in Houston,
Texas.

NOTE
3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Exploration Stage
Company. The Company is considered to be in the exploration
stage.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents. The Company considers all short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents.
Revenue
Recognition.
Revenue associated with the production and sales of crude oil, natural
gas, natural gas liquids and other natural resources owned by the Company will
be recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable
price when delivery has occurred and title passes from the Company to its
customer, and if the collectability of the revenue is probable.
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 and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Income
Taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax items are
reflected at the enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the
periods in which the differences are expected reverse. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized. Due to the uncertainty regarding the
success of future operations, management has valued the deferred tax asset
allowance at 100% of the related deferred tax assets.
Loss per
Share. The Company’s basic loss per share has been calculated using the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The
Company has 34,850,000 common stock equivalent shares outstanding as of
September 30, 2009. However, such common stock equivalents, were not
included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their inclusion
would have been anti-dilutive.
Oil and gas
properties. In July 2009, the Company changed its method of
accounting for its oil and gas exploration and development activities from the
full cost method to the successful efforts method. This change did not affect
our financial statements as we did not have any activity until the second
quarter. Although the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas exploration
and development activities continues to be an accepted alternative, the
successful efforts method of accounting is the preferred method. The Company
believes the successful efforts method provides a more transparent
representation of its results of operations and the ability to assess the
Company’s investments in oil and gas properties for impairment based on their
estimated fair values rather than being required to base valuation on prices and
costs as of the balance sheet date.
In
accordance with the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas
properties, costs of productive wells, developmental dry holes and productive
leases are capitalized into appropriate groups of properties based on
geographical and geological similarities. These capitalized costs are amortized
using the unit-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves. Proceeds
from sales of properties are credited to property costs, and a gain or loss is
recognized when a significant portion of an amortization base is sold or
abandoned.
Exploration
costs, such as exploratory geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals and
exploration overhead, are charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling
costs, including the cost of stratigraphic test wells, are initially capitalized
but charged to exploration expense if and when the well is determined to be
nonproductive. The determination of an exploratory well’s ability to produce
must be made within one year from the completion of drilling activities. The
acquisition costs of unproved acreage are initially capitalized and are carried
at cost, net of accumulated impairment provisions, until such leases are
transferred to proved properties or charged to exploration expense as
impairments of unproved properties.

3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
Fair Value of
Financial Instruments. The Company prioritizes the inputs used in
measuring fair value into the following hierarchy:
Level
1
|
Quoted
prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities;
|
Level
2
|
Inputs
other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly
or indirectly observable;
|
Level
3
|
Unobservable
inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring
an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market
participants would use in
pricing.
|
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
There
were no recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material
effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.

Employment
Agreement. On September 29, 2009, the Company entered into an
Employment Agreement with Steven Weldon, our Chief Financial Officer. As

NOTE
7 – STOCK OPTION PLAN
On
February 6, 2008, the Board of Directors adopted the Signature Exploration and
Production Corp. 2007 Amended Stock Option Plan (“2007 Plan”). Under
the 2007 Plan, 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock may be
issuable upon the exercise of options issued to employees, advisors and
consultants.
On
August 20, 2009, the Company issued 4,000,000 options to a consultant valued at
$984,600 under the 2007 Plan. The option’s exercise price is equal to fifty
percent (50%) of the average closing bid price for the three day period prior to
notice of exercise. The consultant will only be allowed to purchase shares upon
the exercise of the option or portion thereof to the extent that, at the time of
the purchase, the purchase will not result in the consultant beneficially owning
more than 9.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the
Company.
These
options are fully vested and represent the only options outstanding as of
September 30, 2009.
We used
the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the option
grant. We valued the stock grant based on the following
assumptions:

9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Convertible Note
Agreements. On October 13, 2009, the Company entered into two Convertible
Note Agreements for $22,000 and $15,000. The notes will accrue interest at the
rate of 10% per annum and are due on October 13, 2010. The note
holders may convert any portion of the notes that are outstanding, whether such
portion represents principal or interest, into shares of common stock of the
Company at a price equal to $0.01.
Note
Conversion. On October 27, 2009, the Company partially
converted a note dated October 10, 2006 into 325,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock. A balance of $2,750 remains on this note.
Employment
Agreement. On October 8, 2009, the Company entered into an
Employment Agreement with Jordan Estra, our Chief Executive Officer. As
compensation for entering into this Agreement, the Company granted and issued to
the Mr. Estra 3,600,000 shares of the common stock of the Company. The stock is
restricted as defined by the Rules and Regulations promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The shares are fully paid and
non-assessable.
The
shares issued pursuant to this Agreement are subject to the following terms and
conditions. The shares are represented by 36 certificates of 100,000 shares
each. All Certificates not delivered to the Executive are being held
by the Company. One certificate representing 100,000 shares will be
delivered to the Executive on the 30th of each
month beginning October 30, 2009. In the event the Mr. Estra’s
employment pursuant to this agreement is terminated for any reason, the shares
represented by certificates still held by the Company will be contributed back
to the Company for cancellation.
Convertible note
agreement. On October 20, 2009 the company entered into an agreement with
a shareholder to modify shareholder loans totaling $78,500 to
convertible debt upon the default of any particular note. At the
request of the shareholder and without further operation of law or contract, the
Note or any portion thereof together with any interest that has accrued thereon
is convertible into common shares of the Company at the rate of $0.01 per share
may be converted into the Company’s common stock. The convertibility
of notes and interest is limited, however, by the restriction that no Notes
and/or interest are convertible at a particular time if such conversion or the
right to convert would operate to make the shareholder beneficial
owner of more than 9.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the
Company.
We
evaluated subsequent events through November 20, 2009, which is the date the
financial statements were issued. We are not aware of any significant events,
other than those identified above, which occurred subsequent to the balance
sheet date but prior to November 20, 2009, that would have a material impact on
our financial statements.

which could cause actual results to differ materially include those set forth in
the risks discussed below under the subheading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in
this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release
the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, or to explain
why actual results differ. Readers should carefully review the risk factors
described in this section below and in any reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Overview
Our
company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 4, 2001, under the
name of “Flagstick Ventures, Inc.” On March 28, 2008, a majority of our
stockholders approved changing our name to Signature Exploration and Production
Corp. as our business model had changed to becoming an independent energy
company engaged in the exploration, development, exploitation and acquisition of
on-shore oil and natural gas properties in conventional producing areas with a
focus along the gulf coast of Texas. As of September 30, 2009, we
have not yet generated revenues and $2,500 of expenses related to the
energy operations.
Plan
of Operation
Our
strategy is to continue making acquisitions of select properties that have been
identified as economically attractive, technically and geologically sound and
have significant upside potential.
We are
building our business through the acquisition of producing oil and natural gas
wells, interests and leases. Our strategy is to combine the secure and reliable
revenue source of operating and non-operated interests from producing oil wells
with the potential of an oil and gas exploration project. We are purchasing
operating and non-operated interests, acquiring development stage exploration
property and carrying out an exploration program on the acquired
property.
The
Company continues to operate with very limited capital. Since our inception in
2001, we have been unable to locate a consistent source of additional financing
for use in our operational or expansion plans. The Company is currently
attempting to raise sufficient funds to purchase leases of oil and gas
properties. We can give no assurances that the Company will be able
to purchase any leases. Each oil and gas property in which we obtain
an interest in will have an operator who will be responsible for marketing
production.
Unproven
Properties
Koliba
Prospect – Bloomington TX
In
September 2009, we committed to acquiring a 15% working interest of this well.
The Koliba well prospect covers 143 acres over an anticlinal structure (target)
located in the North McFaddin Field. The prospect which is both a structural and
strategraphic trap that includes a four way closure. This well is considered a
low risk/high reward prospect due to its proximity to the previous producing
well and the potential for multiple pay sand discoveries in the prolific Frio
interval.
Catron
Prospect – Carton County, NM
We have
acquired a lease of 1,320 acres in Catron County, New Mexico. The
lease term is for ten years. We are evaluating options for the
use of this land.
Kenedy
Prospect – Kenedy County, TX
12
In August
2009, we acquired a 10% working interest with an option to acquire 10% on
additional wells on a 980 acre prospect located in Kenedy County, Texas. A 3-D
seismic has been performed on this property and reviewed by a geophysicist who
has advised us of two potential targets for drilling.
Nettie
Rhodes Prospect – Young County, Texas
In August
2009, we acquired a five percent turnkey working interest on the Nettie Rhodes
Lease. The Nettie Rhoades Lease is located in the southwest corner of
Young County, Texas. It is approximately six miles north east of the
town of Woodson, Texas and consists of approximately 160 acres. The
land is on the west flank of the Bend Arch located in central
Texas. There are currently five wells on properties adjacent to this
lease that are producing oil and natural gas. We are currently
evaluating and obtaining cost estimates to perform a3-D seismic on this
lease.
Medicine
River Ranch – Barber County, Kansas
In August
2009, we signed an Option Agreement allowing the Company to purchase up to a
fifty percent working interest in the oil and gas exploration and development
activities on 2,087 acres known as Medicine River Ranch. This option
is valid for one year or until a Definitive Participation Agreement is either
entered into or rejected by both parties. There are currently three
wells on properties adjacent to this lease that is producing oil and natural
gas. We are currently evaluating and obtaining cost estimates to
perform a 3-D seismic on this lease.
Cash
Requirements
We
estimate that we will require an additional $644,000 to fund our currently
anticipated requirements for ongoing operations for our existing business for
the next twelve-month period. We expect to pay $35,000 for professional fees and
expenseS related to being a public company, $40,000 for expenses related to
general operations and $19,000 for a rent settlement. We will also
need approximately $483,000 to repay $431,000 of notes payable and the related
interest of approximately $52,000. In addition we will need approximate $67,000
for current commitments on the Koliba Prospect. We are also
evaluating additional leases and working interest that will require additional
capital once the costs associated with these activities are
determined.
Based
upon our cash position, we will need to raise additional capital prior to the
end of the third quarter of 2009 in order to fund current operations. These
factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. We are pursuing several alternatives to address this situation,
including the raising of additional funding through equity or debt
financings. We are in discussions with our existing stockholders to
provide additional funding in exchange for notes or equity. In
order to finance existing operations and pay current liabilities over the next
twelve months, we will need to raise $644,000 of capital. However, there can be
no assurance that the requisite financing will be consummated in the necessary
time frame or on terms acceptable to us. Should we be unable to raise
sufficient funds, we may be required to curtail our operating plans or possibly
cease operations. No assurance can be given that we will be able to
operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future.

Comparison
of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 and September 30,
2008
Stock
Compensation. Stock compensation expenses increased by
approximately $1,887,000 in 2009. This increase can be attributed to
professional fees of $985,000, employee compensation of $900,000 and $2,500 for
an option to participate in an oil and gas lease.
General and
Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased
by $10,000 in 2009. This increase can be attributed to an increase in
travel and professional fees.
Other
Expenses. Other expenses increased by $48,000 in 2009 due to
an increase of interest expense on notes payable and interest related to the
beneficial conversion feature of convertible notes issued during the three
months ended September 30, 2009.
Comparison
of the Six Months Ended September 30, 2009 and September 30,
2008
Stock
Compensation. Stock compensation expenses increased by
approximately $1,887,000 in 2009. This increase can be attributed to
professional fees of $985,000, employee compensation of $900,000 and $2,500 for
an option to participate in an oil and gas lease.
General and
Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased
by $17,000 in 2009. This increase can be attributed to an increase in
travel and professional.
Other
Expenses. Other expenses increased by $51,000 in 2009 due to
an increase of interest expense on notes payable and interest related to the
beneficial conversion feature of convertible notes issued during the six months
ended September 30, 2009.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We had
cash balances totaling approximately $85 as of September 30,
2009. Historically, our principal source of funds has been cash
generated from financing activities.
Cash flow from
operations. We have been unable to generate either significant liquidity
or cash flow to fund our current operations. We anticipate that cash flows from
operations will be insufficient to fund our business operations for the next
twelve-month period.
Cash flows from
investing activities. There was $5,000 and $-0- of cash used
in investing activities for the purchase of oil and gas leases for the periods
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
Cash flows from
financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was
generated from secured promissory notes that total $40,000 and $77,300 for the
six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
Variables
and Trends
We have
no operating history with respect to our acquisition and development of oil and
gas properties. In the event we are able to obtain the necessary financing to
move forward with our business plan, we expect our expenses to increase
significantly as we grow our business. Accordingly, the comparison of the
financial data for the periods presented may not be a meaningful indicator of
our future performance and must be considered in light these
circumstances.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. As such, we are required to make certain estimates, judgments and
assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available
to us. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the periods
presented.
14
Successful Efforts Method.
Generally accepted accounting principles provide for two alternative methods for
the oil and gas industry to use in accounting for oil and gas producing
activities. These two methods are generally known in our industry as
the full cost method and the successful efforts method. Both methods
are widely used. The methods are different enough that in many
circumstances the same set of facts will provide materially different financial
statement results within a given year. We have chosen the successful
efforts method of accounting for our oil and gas producing
activities.
Share Based
Payments. We estimate the value of stock option awards on the
date of grant using a Black-Scholes pricing model (Black-Scholes model). The
determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes model is affected by our stock price as well as
assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These
variables include, but are not limited to, our expected stock price volatility
over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise
behaviors, and risk-free interest rate. If factors change and we employ
different assumptions in the application of SFAS No. 123(R) in future
periods, the expense that we record under SFAS No. 123(R) may differ
significantly from what we have recorded in the current period.
Income taxes. We
provide for deferred income taxes on the difference between the tax basis of an
asset or liability and its carrying amount in our financial statements in
accordance with SFAS No. 109. This difference will result in taxable
income or deductions in future years when the reported amount of the asset or
liability is recovered or settled, respectively. Considerable
judgment is required in determining when these events may occur and whether
recovery of an asset is more likely than not. Additionally, our
federal and state income tax returns are generally not filed before the
consolidated financial statements are prepared, therefore, we estimate the tax
basis of our assets and liabilities at the end of each period as well as the
effects of tax rate changes, tax credits, and net operating and capital loss
carryforwards and carrybacks. Adjustments related to differences
between the estimates we used and actual amounts we report are recorded in the
periods in which we file our income tax returns. These adjustments
and changes in our estimates of asset recovery and liability settlement could
have an impact on our results of operations.
Commitments
Except as
shown in the following table, as of September 30, 2009, we did not have any
material capital commitments, other than funding our operating losses and
repaying outstanding debt. It is anticipated that any capital commitments that
may occur will be financed principally through borrowings from stockholders
(although such additional financing has not been arranged). However, there can
be no assurance that additional capital resources and financings will be
available to us on a timely basis, or if available, on acceptable
terms.
