NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed 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 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 financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed 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, 2010,
contained in the Company’s March 31, 2010 Annual Report on Form
10-K.
The
Company’s condensed 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
$5,485,000 as of September 30, 2010. 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 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. In
accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards 7, 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, 2010.
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 to 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 67,597,576 common stock equivalent shares outstanding as of
September 30, 2010. 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.

Accounting Pronouncements

NOTE
4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
Company holds certain financial assets which are required to be measured at fair
value on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic
820-10. ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy
that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC
Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the
transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal
market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy
under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:
Level
1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. The
Company’s Level 1 assets include cash.
Level
2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities,
quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not
active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable
data for substantially the full term of the assets or
liabilities. The Company’s Level 2 assets and liabilities consist of
notes and convertible notes payable. Due to the short term nature of its notes
and convertible notes payable, the Company estimates the fair value of these
assets and liabilities at their current basis.
Level 3.
Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity
and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or
liabilities. Level 3 fair value elections are made on an instrument by
instrument basis. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of convertible
notes and detachable warrants accounted for as derivatives. These
convertible notes are valued using internally developed valuation models, inputs
to which include interest rates, stock price, and volatilities. Unobservable
inputs used in these models are significant to the fair values of the
liabilities.

4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS, CONTINUED
The
liabilities in the preceding tables were measured at fair value due to events or
circumstances the Company identified that significantly impacted the fair value
of these liabilities during the periods presented. As a result, we were required
to record accounting losses beyond our economic exposure. To mitigate the
divergence between accounting losses and economic exposure, we elected the fair
value option. The liabilities were initially recorded in an amount equal to the
undiscounted consideration received. These amounts are adjusted periodically
using a Black Scholes option valuation model. The following assumptions were
made in the Black-Scholes model: (1) risk free interest rate of 0.26% to 1.26%,
(2) remaining contractual life of 1 to 4.9 years, (3) expected stock price
volatility of 547%and (4) expected dividend yield of zero.

North McFaddin Field. Drilling began on this property on June 29, 2010 and was
finished on July 19, 2010. After testing the well, it was determined that it was
not financially feasible to complete the well and was subsequently
capped. As a result of this, a loss on oil and gas assets was
recognized in the amount of $67,189.

risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially from those
indicated in the forward-looking 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 acquisition and development of crude oil and natural gas
leases in the United States. As of September 30, 2010, we have not
yet generated revenues 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-operating 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 March in 2008, 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
October 2009, we acquired a 15% working interest in 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. Drilling began on this property on June
29, 2010 and was finished on July 19, 2010. After testing the well, it was
determined that it was not financially feasible to complete the well and was
subsequently capped.
13
Catron
Prospect – Carton County, NM
We
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
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 Rhodes 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 a 3-D seismic on this
lease.
Cash
Requirements
We
estimate that we will require an additional $1,496,000 to fund our currently
anticipated requirements for ongoing operations for our existing business for
the next twelve-month period. We expect to pay $51,000 for professional fees and
expense related to being a public company, $45,000 for expenses related to
general operations and $19,000 for a rent settlement. We will also
need approximately $1,381,000 to repay $1,288,000 of notes payable and the
related interest of approximately $93,000.
Based
upon our cash position, we will need to raise additional capital prior by the
end of the second quarter of fiscal 2011 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 $1,496,000 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, 2010 and September 30,
2009
General and
Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased
by $1,857,000 in 2010. This decrease can be attributed to
professional fees of $954,500, employee compensation of $900,000 and $2,500 for
an option to participate in an oil and gas lease, which were incurred in 2009,
but did not reoccur in 2010.
Other Income/(
Expenses). Other expense increased by $27,000 in 2010 due to
an increase in the fair value of convertible notes and warrants.
Comparison
of the Six Months Ended September 30, 2010 and September 30,
2009
Investor
Relations. Investor relations expenses increased by
approximately $63,000 in 2010.
Loss on Oil and
Gas Assets. Loss on oil and gas assets increased by
approximately $67,000 in 2010 due to the drilling of a dry well on the Koliba
Prospect.
General and
Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased
by $1,787,000 in 2010. This decrease can be attributed to
additional professional fees of $897,000 and additional employee
compensation of $900,000 incurred in 2009, which were offset by an increase
in travel expenses of $10,000 in 2010.
Other Income/(
Expenses). Other expenses increased by $150,000 in 2010 due to an
increase in the fair value of convertible notes and warrants of $114,000 and an
increase of $36,000 in interest expense on notes payable and interest related to
the amortization of the original issue discount of convertible notes issued
during 2010.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We had
cash balances totaling approximately $22,000 as of September 30,
2010. 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
financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was
generated from promissory notes that total $150,000 and $40,000 for the six
months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
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
General
The
preparation of financial statements requires management to utilize estimates and
make judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These
estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates
are evaluated by management on an ongoing basis, and the results of these
evaluations form a basis for making decisions about the carrying value of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although
actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions, management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of
our financial statements are reasonable. Policies involving the most significant
judgments and estimates are summarized below.
Oil
and Gas Activities
We follow
the successful efforts method of accounting for our oil and gas activities.
Accordingly, costs associated with the acquisition, drilling and equipping of
successful exploratory wells are capitalized. Geological and geophysical costs,
delay and surface rentals and drilling costs of unsuccessful exploratory wells
are charged to expense as incurred. Costs of drilling development wells are
capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of oil and gas properties, the cost
thereof and the accumulated depreciation or depletion are removed from the
accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.
15
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Effective
May 1, 2008, we adopted guidance issued by the FASB on "Fair Value
Measurements" for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis. This guidance establishes a common definition for fair value to be
applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the
use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption
of this guidance did not have an impact on our financial position or operating
results, but did expand certain disclosures.
The FASB
defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. Additionally, the FASB requires the use of valuation
techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs.
In
addition, the FASB issued, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities," effective for May 1, 2008. This guidance expands
opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits
entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value.
Equity-Based
Compensation
The
computation of the expense associated with stock-based compensation requires the
use of a valuation model. The FASB issued accounting guidance requires
significant judgment and the use of estimates, particularly surrounding
Black-Scholes assumptions such as stock price volatility, expected option lives,
and expected option forfeiture rates, to value equity-based compensation. We
currently use a Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value
of our stock options. We primarily use historical data to determine the
assumptions to be used in the Black-Scholes model and have no reason to believe
that future data is likely to differ materially from historical data. However,
changes in the assumptions to reflect future stock price volatility and future
stock award exercise experience could result in a change in the assumptions used
to value awards in the future and may result in a material change to the fair
value calculation of stock-based awards. This accounting guidance requires the
recognition of the fair value of stock compensation in net income. Although
every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of our estimates and assumptions,
significant unanticipated changes in those estimates, interpretations and
assumptions may result in recording stock option expense that may materially
impact our financial statements for each respective reporting
period.
Commitments
Aas of
September 30, 2010, 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.
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.

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief
Executive Officer has carried out an evaluation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of June 30,
2010.
Based on
their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act) are ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and
reporting processes including not having a functioning audit committee
consisting of independent Board members as well as lack of expertise with
respect to the application of US GAAP and SEC rules and
regulations.
Material
Weaknesses
In our
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 under Item 9-A- Controls and
Procedures, we identified material weaknesses in our system of internal control
over financial reporting. A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such
that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the
company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis.
