GulfSlope Energy, Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
June 30, 2014
(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

GulfSlope Energy, Inc. (the “Company,” “GulfSlope,” “our” and words of similar import), a Delaware corporation, is an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, exploitation, development and production of crude oil and natural gas properties.  To this end, the Company entered the exploration stage on March 22, 2013 when it executed a master license agreement with a geophysical company to license certain seismic data for the purposes of engaging in the exploration of oil and natural gas.
 
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed financial statements included herein are unaudited.  However, these condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for an entire year. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Certain information, accounting policies, and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2013, which were included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
GulfSlope considers highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities to the Company of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents consist primarily of interest-bearing bank accounts and money market funds.  The Company’s cash positions represent assets held in checking and money market accounts.  These assets are generally available on a daily or weekly basis and are highly liquid in nature.  

Liquidity/Going Concern

We have incurred accumulated losses for the period from inception to June 30, 2014 of $23,852,547.  Further losses are anticipated in developing our business.  As a result, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  As of June 30, 2014, we had $160,650 of unrestricted cash on hand. The Company raised gross proceeds of $8.03 million in a private equity offering in July 2014.  We believe that under the current spending plan this capital should fund operations through March 2015.  Our policy has been to periodically raise funds through sale of equity on a limited basis, to avoid undue dilution while at the early stages of execution of our business plan.  Short term needs have been historically funded through loans from executive management.

Full Cost Method

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and development activities. Under the full cost method of accounting, all costs associated with the exploration for and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized on a country-by-country basis into a single cost center (“full cost pool”). Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical (“G&G”) expenses, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling both productive and non-productive wells and overhead charges directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities. All of the Company’s oil and gas properties are located within the United States, its sole cost center.

The costs of unproved properties and related capitalized costs are withheld from the depletion base until such time as they are either developed or abandoned.  When proved reserves are assigned or the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to costs subject to depletion and full cost ceiling calculations.  Capitalized costs that are directly associated with unproved properties acquired by the Company during the current quarter are included in the full cost pool.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company had no proved reserves.    

 
7

 
Companies that use the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas exploration and development activities are required to perform a ceiling test calculation each quarter. The full cost ceiling test is an impairment test prescribed by SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10. The ceiling test is performed quarterly, on a country-by-country basis, utilizing the average of prices in effect on the first day of the month for the preceding twelve month period. The ceiling limits such pooled costs to the aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved crude oil and natural gas reserves discounted at 10% plus the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties less any associated tax effects. If such capitalized costs exceed the ceiling, the Company will record a write-down to the extent of such excess as a non-cash charge to earnings. Any such write-down will reduce earnings in the period of occurrence and results in a lower depreciation, depletion and amortization rate in future periods. A write-down may not be reversed in future periods even though higher oil and natural gas prices may subsequently increase the ceiling.
 
Proceeds from property sales will generally be credited to the full cost pool, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and the proved reserves attributable to these costs.  A significant alteration would typically involve a sale of 25% or more of the proved reserves related to a single full cost pool.
 
Net Loss Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (denominator).  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding (if dilutive) during each period.  Potential common shares include stock options, warrants, and restricted stock.  The number of potential common shares outstanding relating to stock options, warrants, and restricted stock is computed using the treasury stock method.
 
As the Company has incurred losses for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive and are thus not added into the loss per share calculations.  As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, there were 51,701,528 and 43,803,125 potentially dilutive shares.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10 (“ASU No. 2014-10”), which eliminated the definition of a Development Stage Entity and the related reporting requirements. ASU No. 2014-10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption allowed.  The Company intends to adopt ASU No. 2014-10 on or before its interim reporting period ending December 31, 2014. The Company has evaluated all other recent accounting pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3 – EXPLORATION COSTS

On March 20, 2013, the Company entered into an assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with third parties pursuant to which the Company was assigned the exclusive right to license certain seismic data. On March 22, 2013, the Company executed a master license agreement with this seismic company. In consideration for the assignment and other transactions contemplated by the Assignment Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the assignor parties an aggregate of 243,516,666 shares of the Company’s common stock. The common stock was valued at $2,435,167 and the shares were subsequently issued in April 2013. In March 2013, the Company licensed certain seismic data from a geophysical company.  The seismic data license fee totaled $6,135,500.  Also in March 2013, the Company licensed certain seismic data from a second seismic company pursuant to another ordinary business course agreement.  The seismic data purchase totaled $4,012,260. These expenses were included in accrued expenses as of March 31, 2013 and also capitalized as oil and gas exploration costs. The Company properly capitalized these G&G costs and included them in the depletion base. During April through September of 2013, the Company incurred $1,674,376 of costs associated with technological infrastructure and third party hosting services, $773,271 in consulting fees and salaries and benefits associated with full time geoscientists, and $90,000 in costs to participate in a geophysical research program with a public institution. These expenses were also capitalized as oil and gas exploration costs. The Company properly capitalized these G&G costs and included them in the depletion base because the Company did not yet own the specific unevaluated properties these costs related to. These costs were subject to the ceiling limitation test, resulting in immediate impairment for accounting purposes for the year ended September 30, 2013.

During October through December 2013, the Company incurred $808,613 in consulting fees, salaries and benefits associated with consultants and full-time geoscientists, $787,935 associated with technological infrastructure and third party hosting services and seismic data, and $80,000 for an independent reserve study. During January through March 2014, the Company incurred $618,173 in consulting fees, salaries and benefits associated with consultants and full-time geoscientists, and $431,382 associated with technological infrastructure and third party hosting services and seismic data. The Company properly capitalized these G&G costs and included them in the depletion base because the Company did not yet own the specific unevaluated properties these costs related to. Therefore, these G&G costs were subject to the ceiling limitation test, resulting in immediate impairment for accounting purposes for the six months ended March 31, 2014.

NOTE 4 – OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES
 
During March 2014, the Company bid on 23 blocks in the Central Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 231, conducted by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (“BOEM”). Of those 23 bids, we were the high bidder on 22 of 23 blocks. During May and June of 2014, the Company was awarded 21 of the 22 blocks and paid the remaining 80% lease bid amount and the first year lease rentals on all of the awarded blocks. The total amount paid was $8,126,972, which includes the lease deposit amount, the remaining 80% and the first year lease rental payment. During April through June 2014, the Company incurred $639,970 in consulting fees and salaries and benefits associated with full-time geoscientists, and $580,998 associated with technological infrastructure, third party hosting services and seismic data. The Company properly capitalized these G&G costs because the Company acquired specific unevaluated properties during the quarter which these costs relate to. The capitalized exploration costs of $1,220,968 and the $8,126,972 paid for the awarded leases are netted with the $8,200,000 received for the sale of a working interest in five of our prospects resulting in the amount of our unproved oil and gas properties of $1,147,940 reflected on our balance sheet.
 
In March 2014, the Company entered into a farm out letter agreement with Texas South Energy, Inc. (“Texas South”) relating to five prospects located within the blocks the Company bid on at the Central Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 231.  Under the terms of the farm-out letter agreement, Texas South may acquire up to a 20% working interest in 5 prospects for up to $10 million.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company had received $8.2 million of the proceeds from the agreement.  In accordance with full cost requirements, the Company recorded the proceeds from the transaction as an adjustment to capitalized costs with no gain recognition.
 
As of June 30, 2014, the Company was owed $104,885 by the BOEM for the lease deposit on the lease which was not awarded. This amount was received in July of 2014.

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In May 2013, James Askew resigned as the Company’s chief executive officer.   Simultaneously, John Seitz was appointed chief executive officer and chairman of the board of directors.

In October 2013, the Company issued to Brady Rodgers, the Company’s vice president Engineering and Business Development, a ten-year option to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.12 per share.  A fair value of $177,298 was computed using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, of which $24,562 has been expensed during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $81,246 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The options vest 50% in October 2014 and 50% in October 2015.

In March 2014, the Company awarded 500,000 shares of restricted stock to an employee, of which one-half vests in April 2015 and the remaining half vests in April 2016.  

In March 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock to two non-employee directors.  The restricted stock is subject to vesting pursuant to which one-half will vest on March 27, 2015 and the remaining one-half will vest on March 27, 2016.  

In May 2014, the Company awarded 550,000 shares of restricted stock to an employee, one-half of which vests in May 2015 and the remaining half vests in May 2016.

At our annual meeting in May of 2014 our shareholders approved increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 750,000,000 to 975,000,000. The number of authorized shares of preferred stock was not changed and is 50,000,000.

NOTE 7– STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized over the required vesting period. The Company recognized $52,563 and $109,247 in stock-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, and $0 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013.  A portion of these costs were capitalized to unproved properties and the remainder were recorded as general and administrative expenses.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2014.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options granted. The weighted-average fair values of stock options granted for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 were based on the following assumptions at the date of grant as follows:

Expected dividend yield
0%
Expected stock price volatility
91.42%
Risk-free interest rate
1.53%
Expected life of options
5.75 years
Weighted-average grant date fair value, per option
$0.09

The Company used a variety of comparable and peer companies to determine the expected volatility. The Company has no historical data regarding the expected life of the options and therefore used the simplified method of calculating the expected life. The risk free rate was calculated using the U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates similar to the expected life of the options, as published by the Federal Reserve. The Company has no plans to declare any future dividends.
 
As of June 30, 2014 there was $96,052 of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to the stock option grant that is expected to be expensed over a weighted-average period of one and one-half years.  There was $820,000 of intrinsic value for options outstanding as of June 30, 2014.

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

Prior to March 2013, we had not been engaged in any substantive business activity since 2006.  On March 20, 2013, we entered into an assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) pursuant to which we were assigned the exclusive right to license certain seismic data from a geophysical company.  In consideration for the assignment and other transactions contemplated by the Assignment Agreement, the Company issued to the assignor parties thereto an aggregate of 243,516,666 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $0.01 per share.  We executed a master license agreement with the geophysical company on March 22, 2013.  In March 2013, we entered into a second ordinary course license agreement with a different geophysical company, and we expect to enter into additional ordinary course license agreements with seismic companies to acquire and reprocess additional seismic data.

The Company has invested significant technical person hours in the proprietary interpretation of the above seismic data and the associated high end reprocessing of this data. The result of this proprietary interpretation has been the identification of multiple prospects that we believe may have substantial potential hydrocarbon deposits.  Our primary objective, to acquire as many of these prospects as possible during 2014, resulted in the acquisition of 21 leases in the March 2014 Central Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 231.  Throughout this Report we refer to these acquired leases as our “portfolio.”  As a result of the acquisition of our targeted prospects, we intend to cause multiple exploration wells to be drilled in our portfolio.  We anticipate lowering our capital exposure to exploration drilling activities by seeking to enter into a series of partnerships whereby partners will pay some or all of our portion of exploration drilling costs.  In return, we plan to deliver our seismic interpretation justifying the exploration drilling and the ownership of the leases. Drilling is expected to commence in 2015.

In March 2014, we competitively bid on 23 blocks at the Central Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 231 conducted by the BOEM.  Of those 23 bids, we were the high bidder on 22 blocks.  During May and June of 2014, the Company was awarded 21 of the 22 blocks and paid the remaining 80% lease bid amount and the first year lease rentals on all of the awarded blocks.  The total amount paid was $8,126,972, which includes the lease deposit amount, the remaining 80% and the first year lease rental payment.

In March 2014, the Company entered into a farm out letter agreement with Texas South relating to five prospects located within 23 blocks we bid on at the Central Gulf of Mexico Lease Sale 231.   Under the terms of the farm-out letter agreement, Texas South will acquire up to a 20% working interest in these prospects for up to $10 million, of which $8.2 million has been paid to date.  Texas South has also agreed to pay its proportionate share of the net rental costs related to these prospects.   The Company will be the operator of record and has the right to negotiate all future joint operating agreements related to the potential leases, including these prospects.

We have historically operated our business with working capital deficits.  Working capital deficits have historically been funded by equity investments and loans from management. During July 2014, we sold common stock in a private offering for gross proceeds of $8.03 million, with offering costs of approximately $388,000. We believe that under the current spending plan this capital should fund operations through March 2015. This does not include any capital expenditures related to exploration drilling costs.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and development activities. Under the full cost method of accounting, all costs associated with the exploration for and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized on a country-by-country basis into a single cost center (“full cost pool”). Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical (“G&G”) expenses, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling both productive and non-productive wells and overhead charges directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities and not subject to depletion or immediate impairment.

The costs of unproved properties and related capitalized costs are withheld from the depletion base until such time as they are either developed or abandoned.  When proved reserves are assigned or the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to costs subject to depletion and full cost ceiling calculations. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had no proved reserves, but has acquired unproved properties.  As a result, the geological and geophysical costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2014 were properly excluded from the amortization base.

Companies that use the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas exploration and development activities are required to perform a ceiling test calculation each quarter. The full cost ceiling test is an impairment test prescribed by SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10. The ceiling test is performed quarterly, on a country-by-country basis, utilizing the average of prices in effect on the first day of the month for the preceding twelve month period. The ceiling limits such pooled costs to the aggregate of the present value of future net revenues attributable to proved crude oil and natural gas reserves discounted at 10% plus the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties less any associated tax effects. If such capitalized costs exceed the ceiling, the Company will record a write-down to the extent of such excess as a non-cash charge to earnings. Any such write-down will reduce earnings in the period of occurrence and results in a lower depreciation, depletion and amortization rate in future periods. A write-down may not be reversed in future periods even though higher oil and natural gas prices may subsequently increase the ceiling.
 
Proceeds from property sales will generally be credited to the full cost pool, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and the proved reserves attributable to these costs.  A significant alteration would typically involve a sale of 25% or more of the proved reserves related to a single full cost pool.
 
In accordance with one of our seismic data licensing agreements, certain funds have been placed in an escrow account for the purpose of making a future installment payment and are restricted from use in our operations.  Those funds have been classified as restricted cash and the restricted cash at March 31, 2014 was approximately $2.5 million.  In April 2014, this $2.5 million amount was paid pursuant to the seismic data licensing agreement. Restricted cash at June 30, 2014 was $703.  In July 2014, $1.5 million was added to the escrow account to be paid out in the first quarter of 2015 in accordance with the data licensing agreement.

Property and equipment are carried at cost.  We assess the carrying value of our property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Factors Affecting Comparability of Future Results
 
Success in Acquiring Oil and Gas Leases or Prospects.  As a result of our 3-D seismic imaging and reprocessing, we have identified and acquired the leasing or drilling rights to a number of currently available, undrilled prospects which we believe may potentially contain economically recoverable reserves.  We have successfully executed phase one of our lease acquisition strategy. 

We have no proved reserves.  While we have acquired 91% of the oil and gas properties that we pursued, we have no proved reserves.  We have identified prospects based on available seismic and geological information that indicate the potential presence of oil or gas, and we own the drilling and production rights for these prospects.  Some of our current prospects may require additional seismic data reprocessing and interpretation.  Even when properly used and interpreted, seismic data and visualization techniques are only tools used to assist geoscientists in identifying structures and hydrocarbon indicators and do not enable the interpreter to have certainty as to whether hydrocarbons are, in fact, present in those structures.  We do not know if any such prospect will contain oil or gas in sufficient quantities or quality to recover drilling and completion costs or to be economically viable. 

Success in the Discovery and Development of Reserves.  Because we have no operating history in the production of oil and gas, our future results of operations and financial condition will be directly affected by our ability to discover and develop reserves through our drilling activities.

 
13

 
Oil and Gas Revenue.  We have not yet commenced oil and gas production. If and when we do commence production, we expect to generate revenue from such production. No oil and gas revenue is reflected in our historical financial statements.

General and Administrative Expenses.  We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods.

Demand and Price.  The demand for oil and gas is susceptible to volatility related to, among other factors, the level of global economic activity and may also fluctuate depending on the performance of specific industries. We expect that a decrease in economic activity, in the United States and elsewhere, would adversely affect demand for any oil and gas we may produce. Since we have not generated revenues, these key factors will only affect us if and when we produce and sell hydrocarbons.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

We recorded no revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. General and administrative expenses were approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013.  Impairment of capitalized geological and geophysical costs were $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2013

We recorded no revenue during the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.  General and administrative expenses were approximately $1.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, compared to approximately $2.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013.  Impairment of capitalized geological and geophysical costs were approximately $2.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, and approximately $14.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2013.   

Liquidity and Capital Requirements

As of June 30, 2014, we had $160,650 of cash on hand.  In July 2014, we sold 33,448,335 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $8.03 million. Under our current business plan, we believe that this capital should fund operations through March 2015.  This does not include any capital expenditures related to exploration drilling costs and this estimate is subject to change based on the execution of our business plan and unexpected expenses or capital needs. 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 and will rank senior to our common stock. We have historically financed our operations through best efforts private equity financings. We do not have any credit or equity facilities available with financial institutions, stockholders or third party investors, and will continue to rely on best efforts financings.
 
We have incurred losses from inception to June 30, 2014 of $23,852,547.  Further losses are anticipated as we develop our business.   As of June 30, 2014, we had $160,650 of cash on hand. We believe the $8.03 million we raised through the sale of common stock in July 2014 should be sufficient to fund operations through March 2015. The Company plans to continue financing the Company through future best-efforts equity and/or debt financings. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.  Our policy has been to periodically raise funds through sale of equity on a limited basis, to avoid undue dilution while at the early stages of execution of our business plan.  Short term needs have been historically funded through loans from executive management.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2014, the Company used approximately $4.8 million of net cash in operating activities, compared with approximately $1.1 million of net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2013. For the nine months ended June 30, 2014 we used approximately $4.1 million of cash in investing activities compared with approximately $4.1 million of cash in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to the sale of working interests, exploration costs and lease acquisition and BOEM related deposits incurred for the nine months ended June 30, 2014.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2014 we had approximately $8.7 million of net cash from financing activities, compared with approximately $5.2 million from financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2013.  This differential is due primarily to proceeds from the sale of common stock.
 
 
14

 
We will need to raise additional funds to cover expenditures planned after March of 2015, as well as any additional, unexpected expenditures that we may encounter. Future equity financings may be dilutive to our stockholders. Alternative forms of future financings may include preferences or rights superior to our common stock. Debt financings may involve a pledge of assets and will rank senior to our common stock. We have historically financed our operations through private equity and debt financings. We do not have any credit or equity facilities available with financial institutions, stockholders or third party investors, and will continue to rely on best efforts financings. The failure to raise sufficient capital could cause us to cease operations.

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 June 30, 2014, 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 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.

In July 2014, the Company awarded 2,500,000 shares of restricted stock as an inducement to a new member of the management team, of which one-half vests in July 2015 and the remaining half vests in July 2016.

The securities were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation D”), including the fact that each investor was an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D.  We requested our stock transfer agent to affix appropriate legends to the stock certificate issued to each purchaser and the transfer agent affixed the appropriate legends.  None of the securities were sold through an underwriter and, accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved.
