VANGUARD ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These consolidated financial statements of Vanguard Energy Corporation (Vanguard or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Certain information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read along with Vanguard’s audited financial statements as of September 30, 2013.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements and footnote amounts in order to conform to the current period presentation.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As of December 31, 2013, Vanguard’s significant accounting policies were consistent with those discussed in the audited financial statements as of September 30, 2013.

Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted-average number of common and potential common shares. The calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 excludes 19,261,860 and 17,610,960 shares, respectively, issuable pursuant to outstanding warrants, stock options and debt conversion features because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – Various accounting standards updates have been recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or were applicable to specific industries. No new accounting pronouncements have been issued that are likely to have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – OIL AND GAS ACQUISITIONS

By agreement dated March 15, 2011, the Company entered into a farmout agreement with an unrelated third party pertaining to a 100-acre lease in the Batson Dome Field. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had drilled five wells on the lease. Pursuant to the farmout agreement, as amended in January 2013, the Company has the option of drilling additional wells on the lease; provided however, that if it does not drill at least three wells in any twelve month period the right to drill any additional wells on the lease will terminate. The estimated cost of drilling and completing any well on this lease is approximately $600,000. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was not in compliance with the drilling requirements of this agreement and was actively seeking to extend the agreement.

VANGUARD ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

By agreement dated May 25, 2011, the Company entered into a farmout agreement with an unrelated third party pertaining to a 100-acre lease in the Batson Dome Field. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company had the obligation to commence drilling a well on the lease by June 14, 2012. In June 2012, the Company paid $10,000 to extend the agreement, whereby it had an obligation to commence drilling by June 14, 2013. The Company requested that this agreement be extended for another year for payment of $10,000, which was approved in November 2013. The Company is subject to commence drilling of the first well by June 14, 2014, and completing the well if warranted. The Company has the option of drilling additional wells on the lease; provided however, that unless the Company commences drilling each well within 180 days of the date the latest well is completed or abandoned, the right to drill any additional wells on the lease will terminate. The estimated cost of drilling and completing any well on this lease is approximately $1,000,000.

By agreement dated January 6, 2012, the Company entered into a three-year farmout agreement with an unrelated third party pertaining to another 70-acre lease in the Batson Dome Field. The estimated cost of drilling and completing any well on this lease is approximately $1,000,000.

By agreement dated May 1, 2012, the Company entered into a farmout agreement with an unrelated third party pertaining to another 45-acre lease in the Hull-Daisetta Field. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company had the obligation to commence drilling a well on the lease by January 31, 2013. In January 2013, the agreement was amended, whereby the Company now has an obligation to commence drilling by January 31, 2014. The estimated cost of drilling and completing any well on this lease is approximately $750,000. As of December 31, 2013, the Company did not drill any wells on this lease and is not expected to drilling any wells in the foreseeable future. Therefore, this agreement expired in January 2014.

Through certain acquisitions in 2010, the Company owns a ninety percent (90%) working interest in mineral leases for 230 acres in the Batson Dome Field. C.F.O., Inc. owns the remaining ten percent (10%) working interest and is the operator for the mineral leases pursuant to a joint operating agreement between the Company and C.F.O., Inc. C.F.O., Inc. is controlled by Delton Drum, an officer of the Company since 2010. The Company has recorded a receivable from C.F.O., Inc. for its 10% share of capital expenditures. At December 31, 2013, this amount totaled $9,779.

NOTE 4 – LONG-TERM DEBT

2010 Convertible Promissory Notes – In December 2010, the Company completed the sale of $3,400,000 in Convertible Promissory Notes, due and payable on October 31, 2012 and convertible, at the holder’s option, into common stock of the Company at $1.00 per share at any time after April 30, 2011. The 2010 Convertible Promissory Notes bore interest at 8% per year, payable quarterly. In addition, the note holders were issued 1,700,000 Series A warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock at $4.00 per share any time on or before October 31, 2014 and were additionally granted a twenty percent (20%) net profits interest payable quarterly from any net profits generated from wells drilled and completed with the proceeds of the notes.

VANGUARD ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

During 2012, $3,075,000 of the 2010 Convertible Promissory Notes outstanding were surrendered in exchange for new 2012 Convertible Promissory Notes as discussed below. The remaining notes, which had an outstanding principal balance of $325,000, were repaid in October 2012.

2012 Convertible Promissory Notes – During 2012, the Company sold $8,254,500 of Convertible Promissory Notes, due and payable on June 30, 2015 and convertible at the holder’s option, into common stock of the Company at $1.25 per share. The Convertible Promissory Notes bear interest at 15% per year, payable quarterly. Of the total amount raised, $5,179,500 represented new cash investors and $3,075,000 represented investors from the 2010 convertible note offering who chose to roll their investment in that earlier offering into the Company's new offering. Net proceeds from this financing:

·	were used to pay the 2010 Convertible Promissory Notes remaining outstanding on October 31, 2012 ($325,000), and

·	have been used to fund an accelerated developmental drilling program in the Company's oil fields located in Southeast Texas

Except in certain circumstances, the conversion price of the 2012 Convertible Promissory Notes will be lowered if the Company sells any additional shares of common stock or any securities convertible into common stock, at a price below the then applicable conversion price. The conversion price will also be proportionately adjusted in the event of any stock split, or capital reorganization. The Company may prepay the Notes upon twenty days written notice to the Note holders.

Direct costs of $813,780 were incurred in connection with the issuance of the 2012 Convertible Promissory Notes. The Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $410,639 related to the investors who chose to roll their investment in the 2010 Convertible Promissory Notes into the new offering. The placement agents for this offering received a cash commission of $619,905 as well as 537,360 Series E warrants. Each Series E warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock. The Series E warrants may be exercised at any time on or before June 30, 2017 at a price of $1.55 per share.

The Company’s gross outstanding balance of the 2012 Convertible Promissory Notes was $8,254,500 as of December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, the unamortized discount on the 2012 Convertible Promissory Notes totaled $386,555. Interest expense for the amortization of debt issuance cost and discount on the notes for the three-month period ended December 31, 2013 was $131,534. The effective interest rate of the 2012 Convertible Promissory Notes was 24.1% as of December 31, 2013. Accrued interest included in Other Liabilities at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $309,544.

VANGUARD ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Net Profits Interest Participation Liability – The 20% net profits interest granted with the issuance of the 2010 Convertible Promissory Notes is owned by Vanguard Net Profits, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Fund”). The Company has a 1% interest in the Fund and is the Fund’s manager on behalf of the notes holders who own the remaining interest.

The Company has recognized a participation liability related to the net profits interest granted. This participation liability is reflected in the liability section of the balance sheet at its estimated fair value of $433,410 as of December 31, 2013. The Company estimated the fair value of the participation liability utilizing a present value factor of 10 applied to proved developed reserves associated with the wells drilled and completed with the proceeds of the notes. At any time, the Company may purchase the net profits interests held by the Fund for $3,400,000.

The Company incurred expense associated with the net profits interest granted during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013 of $32,141. This amount is reported as interest expense in the statement of operations. The Company also made payments of $43,239 under this arrangement during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013.

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur. The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three-month period ended December 31, 2013 because the Company estimates it will record no income tax expense for the year ended September 30, 2014. The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. The Company has a valuation allowance that fully offsets net deferred tax assets.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company’s material future contractual obligations as of December 31, 2013 were as follows:

	Total		2014		2015		2016		Thereafter

Convertible notes	$	8,254,500		-	$	8,254,500		-		-

Except as shown above, the Company had no contractual capital commitments outstanding at December 31, 2013. The Company is presently attempting to sell the Batson Dome field. If no sale occurs, management estimates the Company will spend approximately $270,000 during the remainder of the fiscal year 2014 for workover of wells in the Batson Dome Field or for various other projects.

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table summarizes the financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013:

	Level		December 31, 2013		September 30, 2013

Participation liability		3	$	433,410	$	465,551
Total liabilities			$	433,410	$	465,551

Assets and liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed on a recurring basis include those measured at fair value in a business combination and the initial recognition of asset retirement obligations.

The conversion feature liabilities and warrant liabilities are marked to market at each balance sheet date. The fair value of the conversion feature liabilities at December 31, 2013 was computed using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: (1) expected life of 2.0 years; (2) volatility of 23.4%; (3) risk free interest of 0.52%, and a dividend rate of zero. The fair value of the warrant liabilities at December 31, 2013 was also computed using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) expected life between 1.3 and 2.7 years; (2) volatility between 20.6% and 24.9%; (3) risk free interest between 0.13% and 0.34%, and a dividend rate of zero.

The following table presents a reconciliation of those liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The information contained in this Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including among other things, statements regarding our capital needs, business strategy and expectations. Any statement which does not contain a historical fact may be deemed to be a forward-looking statement. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "intend", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential" or "continue", the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. In evaluating forward looking statements, you should consider various factors outlined in our latest Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 31, 2013, and, from time to time, in other reports we file with the SEC. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between our actual results and those reflected in these statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATION

In January of 2013, we announced that we were investigating the possibility of selling our oil and gas properties in Southeast Texas. We have not received any firm offers for our properties nor have we established a specific price we would consider for our properties. We have, however received several non-binding offers which are in active negotiation. If we reach an agreement to sell at a price we consider attractive, the net proceeds will first be used for repayment of convertible debt and other liabilities. We do not expect proceeds to exceed those obligations. Alternatively, we have had interest in merging with another company in the oil and gas industry, with or without having sold our assets as described above. We emphasize that we are not yet committed to selling any of our properties and, depending on available capital, will continue with our current operating program.

The following discussion analyzes and summarizes the results of our operations and our financial condition for the three month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements included with this report.

Results of Operations

We were incorporated in Colorado on June 21, 2010 and commenced operations on July 19, 2010. We are in the early stages of implementing our business plan.

In November and December 2010 we entered into two agreements to acquire oil and gas leases covering 220 acres in the Batson Dome Field in Hardin County, Texas.

In December 2010, we acquired two producing and three shut-in oil wells in the Batson Dome Field. As of July 31, 2013, the two wells were producing approximately 1 barrel of oil per day, net to our 63% net revenue interest. As of December 31, 2013, two shut-in wells had been plugged and abandoned.

As of December 31, 2013, we had drilled and completed 14 wells in the Batson Dome Field. Our share of the costs of drilling and completing these wells was approximately $12 million. Each of these wells has shown multiple potentially productive zones at depths ranging from 2,600 to 4,400 feet. Of the 14 wells drilled and completed, 5 are currently shut in. We continue to actively study each existing well bore to determine what opportunities we might have to re-enter both producing and shut in wells in order to open potentially producible zones that were previously untapped or enlarge currently producing zones to expand production from the 9 currently producing wells. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, we produced 10,650 gross bbls of oil.

Material changes in our Statement of Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the same periods in the prior year are discussed below:

Item	Increase (I) or Decrease (D)	Reason

Oil and Gas Sales	D	Material reduction in production of oil.
Cost and Expenses	D	Lease Operating Expenses and DD&A increased due to operation of wells but were offset by material reduction of general and administration expense.

Operating expenses requiring cash for the three months ended December 31, 2013 consisted primarily of:

·	lease operating expenses, and

·	general and administrative expenses; and

·	workover or recompletion of existing wells

Interest expense increased as the result of the sale of our convertible notes in June, July and September 2012.

The factors that will most significantly affect our future operating results will be:

·	the sale prices of crude oil;

·	the amount of production from oil wells in which we have an interest;

·	lease operating expenses;

·	corporate overhead costs.

Our revenues will also be significantly affected by our ability to maintain oil production.

Other than the foregoing we do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that have had, or are reasonably expected to have, a material impact on our revenues or expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In November and December 2010, we sold 34 units in a private offering at a price of $100,000 per unit. Each unit consisted of one promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 and 50,000 Series A warrants. Each Series A warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $4.00 per share at any time on or before October 31, 2014. The notes bear interest at 8% per year. In June, July and September 2012 notes in the principal amount of $3,075,000 were surrendered in payment of the notes sold in 2012. The remaining notes, which had an outstanding principal balance of $325,000, were repaid in October 2012.

In February and March 2011, we sold 1,500,000 units at a price of $1.00 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one warrant. Each warrant allows the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $1.50 per share at any time prior to November 29, 2016.. In March 2011, we issued 453,322 shares of our common stock to a placement agent upon the exercise of warrants which had an exercise price of $0.10 per share.

In December 2011 we sold 4,800,000 units in an initial public offering at a price of $1.00 per unit. Net proceeds to us from this offering, after payment of the underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were approximately $3,498,900. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one Class A warrant. Each Class A warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50. The Class A warrants are exercisable at any time on or before November 29, 2016.

In June, July and September 2012 we sold convertible secured promissory notes to a group of private investors. The notes bear interest at 15% per year, are payable quarterly, mature on June 30, 2015, and are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.25 per share, subject to adjustment.

Notes in the principal amount of $5,179,500 were sold for cash and notes in the principal amount of $3,075,000 were exchanged for notes that we sold in 2010. Net proceeds from this financing:

·	were used to pay the remaining balance ($325,000) of our 2010 notes, and

·	have been, and are being, used to fund a drilling program in our fields located in Southeast Texas.

Our sources and (uses) of funds for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are shown below:

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2013			Three Months Ended December 31, 2012

Cash provided by (used in) operations	$	(137,721	)	$	(472,904	)
Purchase of furniture and equipment		--			(378	)
Drilling and completion costs		(496,220	)		(1,006,282	)
Repayment of notes		--			(325,000	)

As of January 31, 2014, our salaries and other corporate overhead were approximately $57,000 per month. This significantly reduced operating cost as compared with the same period in the previous year, which is a result of material reductions in compensation to management, elimination of investor relations outreach, and other cost cutting efforts.

By agreement dated March 15, 2011, we entered into a farmout agreement with an unrelated third party pertaining to a 100-acre lease in the Batson Dome Field. As of December 31, 2013, we had drilled 5 wells on the lease. Pursuant to the farmout agreement we have the option of drilling additional wells on the lease. We estimate the cost of drilling and completing any well on this lease will be approximately $600,000. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was not in compliance with the terms of this agreement regarding continuing drilling of new wells. It is seeking to extend the agreement but there is no assurance such extension attempt will be successful.

By agreement dated May 25, 2011, we entered into a farmout agreement with Exxon/Mobil Corporation pertaining to another 100-acre lease adjacent to our existing leases in the Batson Dome Field. Pursuant to the agreement, as previously extended, we had the obligation to commence drilling a well on the lease by June 14, 2013. We requested that this agreement be extended for another year for payment of $10,000, which was approved in November 2013. Subject to the commencement of drilling the first well by June 14, 2014, and completing the well if warranted, we have the option of drilling additional wells on the lease; provided however, that unless we commence drilling each well within 180 days of the date we complete or abandon the latest well drilled, our right to drill any additional wells on the lease will terminate. We estimate the cost of drilling and completing any well on this lease will be approximately $1,000,000.

By agreement dated January 6, 2012, we entered into a three-year farmout agreement with an unrelated third party pertaining to another 70-acre lease in the Batson Dome Field. We estimate the cost of drilling and completing any well on this lease will be approximately $1,000,000.

By agreement dated May 1, 2012, we entered into a farmout agreement with an unrelated third party pertaining to a 45-acre lease in the Hull-Daisetta Field. Pursuant to the agreement, we have the obligation to commence drilling a well on the lease by January 31, 2014. During January 2014, the Company chose to allow this agreement to expire.

Capital expenditures during the first three months of fiscal year 2014 totaled $496,220. We do not expect to expend any further funds during the remainder of fiscal year 2014 for drilling and completing wells in the Batson Dome Field or for other projects. Any further drilling and completion of new wells would require additional financing beyond our available cash on hand.

Our material future contractual obligations as of December 31, 2013 were as follows:

	Total		2014		2015		2016		Thereafter

2012 Convertible notes	$	8,254,500		-	$	8,254,000		-		-

Any cash generated by our operations, after payment of general, administrative and lease operating expenses, will be used to drill and, if warranted, complete oil wells, acquire oil and gas leases covering lands which we believe are favorable for the production of oil, and to fund working capital reserves. Our capital expenditure plans are subject to periodic revision based upon the availability of funds and expected return on investment.

We are currently actively seeking a new corporate transaction or financing arrangement that will enable the Company to continue to develop its Batson Dome field. We have identified additional attractive drilling sites on our leases and believe that we will be able to attract potential partners to assist with the further development of the field. There is no assurance that such an arrangement can be made.

We expect that our principal source of cash flow will be from the sale of crude oil reserves which are depleting assets. Cash flow from the sale of oil production depends upon the quantity of production and the price obtained for the production. An increase in prices will permit us to finance our operations to a greater extent with internally generated funds, may allow us to obtain equity financing more easily or on better terms, and lessens the difficulty of obtaining financing. However, price increases heighten the competition for oil prospects, increase the costs of exploration and development, and, because of potential price declines, increase the risks associated with the purchase of producing properties during times that prices are at higher levels.

A decline in oil prices (i) will reduce our cash flow which in turn will reduce the funds available for exploring for and replacing oil reserves, (ii) will increase the difficulty of obtaining equity and debt financing and worsen the terms on which such financing may be obtained, (iii) will reduce the number of oil prospects which have reasonable economic terms, (iv) may cause us to permit leases to expire based upon the value of potential oil reserves in relation to the costs of exploration, (v) may result in marginally productive oil wells being abandoned as non-commercial, and (vi) may increase the difficulty of obtaining financing. However, price declines reduce the competition for oil properties and correspondingly reduce the prices paid for leases and prospects.

We plan to generate profits by drilling productive oil wells. However, we plan to obtain the funds required to drill, and if warranted, complete new wells (including any wells pertaining to our farmout agreements) with any net cash generated by our operations, through the sale of our securities, from loans from third parties or from third parties willing to pay our share of the cost of drilling and completing the wells as partners/participants in the resulting wells. We do not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide us with any additional capital. We may not be successful in raising the capital needed to drill oil wells. Any wells which may be drilled by us may not produce oil.

Other than as disclosed above, we do not know of any:

·	Trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in, any material increase or decrease in our liquidity; or

·	Significant changes in our expected sources and uses of cash.
