SIGNATURE EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
September 30, 2009

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.

NOTE 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.

NOTE 4 – LOANS FROM STOCKHOLDERS

          $ 78,500     $ 3,336

As of September 30, 2009, accrued interest payable of $3,336 is included in accrued interest in the accompanying balance sheet.  The loans from stockholders and related accrued interest were due no later than ninety days from the date of the loan.

The Company is currently in default on all of these loans.  The Company may use the collateral of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to satisfy these loans.  As of September 30, 2009, no stockholders have made demands for payment of these loans.

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:

Dividend Yield (per share)
    0.0 %
 
       
Volatility (%)
    458.1 %
         
Risk-free Interest Rate (%)
    .42 %

NOTE 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.

Some, but not all, of the factors, 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.
 

Over the next twelve month the following contractual obligations as of September 30, 2009 are due:

Lease settlement liability
  $ 19,000  
Loans from stockholders
    296,500  
Convertible notes
    78,500  
Other loans
    4,000  
Accrued payroll and related taxes
    4,000  
Accrued interest
    52,000  
         
Total
  $ 510,000  

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
