GulfSlope Energy, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
December 31, 2012
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the period.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012. The results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY/GOING CONCERN
The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months is to: (i) consider guidelines of industries in which we may have an interest; (ii) adopt a business plan regarding engaging in the business of any selected industry; and (iii) commence such operations through funding and/or the acquisition of a “going concern” engaged in any industry selected. However, the Company has only $327,799 in assets, and has not established operations, and has accumulated losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company estimates that it will need to raise a minimum of $500,000 to meet its obligations during fiscal year 2013. The Company plans to finance the Company through equity and/or debt financings. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 – COMMON STOCK/PAID IN CAPITAL
Effective April 13, 2012, the Company completed a reincorporation in the State of Delaware from the State of Utah. The reincorporation was effected by the merger of Plan A with and into GulfSlope Energy, Inc., a newly formed, wholly owned Delaware subsidiary. As of the effective time of the reincorporation merger, Plan A ceased to exist as a separate entity with GulfSlope being the surviving entity. Each outstanding share of common stock of Plan A was automatically converted into one share of GulfSlope common stock. The par value of GulfSlope common stock and preferred stock changed from $0.01 per share to $0.001 per share. In addition, the number of authorized shares of common stock was increased from 50,000,000 to 750,000,000 and the number of authorized shares of preferred stock was increased from 5,000,000 to 50,000,000. These financial statements and related notes give retroactive effect to the change in par value.
On May 1, 2012, the Company issued 50,000,000 shares of common stock to a third party for services rendered pursuant to a one-year consulting agreement. This agreement was valued at $500,000 or $0.01 per share. As of December 31, 2012, $333,333 has been expensed with $166,667 recorded as a prepaid expense.
On June 22, 2012, the Company entered into a one-year consulting agreement with John Preftokis, the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer, for 5,000,000 shares of common stock. The shares were subsequently issued in July 2012. This agreement was valued at $50,000, or $0.01 per share. As of December 31, 2012, $26,111 has been expensed with $23,889 recorded as a prepaid expense.
NOTE 4 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operation, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-looking Statements
The following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” above.
Plan of Operations
During the next 12 months, our foreseeable cash requirements will primarily relate to 1) maintaining our good standing; the payment of our SEC reporting filing expenses, including associated legal and accounting fees; costs incident to reviewing or investigating any potential business venture, 2) compensation of our sole officer and a third party consultant, and 3) maintaining our good standing as a corporation in our state of organization. However, if we acquire assets or launch operations, we may need to raise additional capital. See "Liquidity and Capital Requirements."
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2011
We had no operations during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2012, nor do we have operations as of the date of this filing. We had no sales during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. General and administrative expenses were $396,376 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $31,460 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily attributed to (i) an increase of approximately $212,000 of consulting fees and professional fees paid to third parties ($148,000 is related to non-cash stock compensation expense), (ii) an increase of approximately $121,000 of compensation and benefits paid to our chief executive officer, and (iii) an increase of approximately $29,000 in travel expenses.
8
Liquidity and Capital Requirements
At of December 31, 2012, the Company has current assets of $327,799, current liabilities of $34,707 resulting in a working capital surplus of $293,092. We currently have no sources of revenue or credit facilities upon which we can draw to fund operations. We will require a minimum of $700,000 to fund operations during fiscal year 2013, comprised of the following: (i) $420,000 to fund obligations under existing employment and consulting agreements and (ii) and $280,000 for general working capital purposes based on our current burn rate. This will require that we raise a minimum of $500,000 during fiscal year 2013 to fund these expenses.
The Company has no sources of revenue and will continue to rely on best efforts equity, equity equivalent or debt financings and borrowings from shareholders to fund operations. Future equity financings may be dilutive to our stockholders, and the terms of future equity financings may include preferences or rights superior to our common stock. Debt financings may involve a pledge of assets (if any) and will rank senior to our common stock. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital on terms favorable to the Company or at all. Failure to raise additional capital, on favorable terms or at all, will have a material adverse effect on our operations, and will likely cause us to curtail or cease operations. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion for our financial statements due to their substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
None; not applicable
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not required.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the Company's financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the most recent fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
