NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2010
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
Homeland Resources Ltd. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 8, 2003 and is considered a development stage company. The Company’s principal activities since inception had historically been the acquisition of a mineral property in the State of New Mexico. In March and April 2010, the Company acquired working interests in a seismic exploration program as well as a drilling program in an oil and gas property in Oklahoma (Note 5).
|
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements included herein were prepared from the records of the Company in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to provide a fair statement of the results of operations and financial position for the interim periods. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2009.
|
The results of operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending July 31, 2010.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Development Stage
For all periods prior to April 30, 2010, the Company considered itself a development stage enterprise and a mining company in the exploration stage. As of April 30, 2010, the Company has invested approximately $89,000 in oil and gas properties, and is participating in drilling and seismic programs. As a result, we have determined that as of April 30, 2010, the Company is no longer considered a mining company in the exploration stage, but rather a development stage enterprise.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the full cost accounting method to account for oil and natural gas properties, whereby costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil and gas wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized to income.
The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, excluding unevaluated and unproved properties, are amortized using the units-of-production method based on estimated proved recoverable oil and gas reserves. Amortization of unevaluated and unproved property costs begins when the properties become proved or their values become impaired. Impairment of unevaluated and unproved prospects is assessed periodically based on a variety of factors, including management’s intention with regard to future exploration and development of individually significant properties and the ability of the Company to obtain funds to finance such exploration and development.
Under full cost accounting rules for each cost center, capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties, including asset retirement costs, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, may not exceed an amount (the “cost ceiling”) equal to the sum of (a) the present value of future net cash flows from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves, based on current economic and operating

conditions, discounted at 10%, plus (b) the cost of properties not being amortized, plus (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of any unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, less (d) any income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties involved. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to earnings.
Given the volatility of oil and gas prices, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves could change in the near term. If oil and gas prices decline in the future, even if only for a short period of time, it is possible that additional impairments of oil and gas properties could occur. In addition, it is reasonably possible that additional impairments could occur if costs are incurred in excess of any increases in the present value of future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, or if properties are sold for proceeds less than the discounted present value of the related proved oil and gas reserves.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-03 “Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures.” The ASU aligns the current oil and gas reserve estimation and disclosure requirements of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932, Extractive Activities — Oil and Gas, with those in SEC Final Rule Release No. 33-8995, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting. The ASU will be effective for reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2009. The adoption of ASC 810 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2008, the SEC issued revised reporting requirements for oil and natural gas reserves that a company holds. Included in the new rule entitled “Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting Requirements”, are the following changes: 1) permitting use of new technologies to determine proved reserves, if those technologies have been demonstrated empirically to lead to reliable conclusions about reserve volumes; 2) enabling companies to additionally disclose their probable and possible reserves to investors, in addition to their proved reserves; 3) allowing previously excluded resources, such as oil sands, to be classified as oil and natural gas reserves rather than mining reserves; 4) requiring companies to report the independence and qualifications of a preparer or auditor, based on current Society of Petroleum Engineers criteria; 5) requiring the filing of reports for companies that rely on a third party to prepare reserve estimates or conduct a reserve audit; and 6) requiring companies to report oil and natural gas reserves using an average price based upon the prior 12-month period, rather than year-end prices. The new requirements are effective for registration statements filed on or after January 1, 2010, and for annual reports on Form 10K for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that adoption of this rule will have on the Company’s financial disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying balance sheet, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $119,295 through April 30, 2010, and current liabilities exceeded current assets by $174,709. As of April 30, 2010, the Company has not commenced principal operations. These factors among others may indicate that the Company may be unable to continue in existence.
The Company's financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the realization of the carrying value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. The Company's ability to establish itself as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and ultimately, to achieve profitable operations. Management believes that they can be successful in obtaining debt and/or equity financing which will enable the Company to continue in existence and establish itself as a going concern.
NOTE 4 -UNDEVELOPED MINERAL PROPERTY
|
During the year ended July 31, 2004, the Company acquired six unpatented lode mining claims. The Company must incur annual assessment work of $100 for each claim or pay an annual maintenance fee of $140 per claim. These claims are located in western Luna County, New Mexico and are collectively known as the Home Ranch Prospect.
|
|
No exploration efforts have been conducted on the Company’s mineral property and, accordingly, the ultimate recovery of the Company’s investment in mineral property is dependent upon the discovery of commercially profitable ore reserves through future exploration efforts and the subsequent development or sale of such reserves.
|
Due to the Company’s lack of working capital, its ability to explore for minerals on these claims has become economically non-feasible. Therefore, any future cash flows from these claims are uncertain as to amount and timing. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $875 during the year ended July 31, 2009 to write-down the property to a nominal value of $1.
NOTE 5 – OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
State Red House #4 Project
The Company had a 10% working interest in the Vector Exploration Corporation State Red House #4 Project for a total buy-in cost of $833 plus dry hole costs in Nobel County, Oklahoma. The Company’s working interest included leasehold interest, well bores, geological expenses, brokerage costs and overhead. During the year ended July 31, 2005, the Company sold its interest for $3,500 resulting in a $330 loss on the disposition which is recognized on the statements of operation.

NOTE 4 -OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES (cont’d…)
Washita Bend 3D Exploration Project
On April 20, 2010, the Company acquired a 5% working interest in the Washita Bend 3D Exploration Project (“Washita”) for a total buy-in cost of $46,250. The purchase agreement provides for the acquisition of approximately 135 square miles of 3D seismic data. The Washita prospect area is located in Cleveland, Garvin, McCain and Pottawatomie Counties, Oklahoma. It is anticipated that data acquisition will begin in August 2010. Analysis of data will be ongoing. Drilling on the prospect may commence in late winter or early spring, 2011 pending results of the seismic analysis. The Company recorded these amounts as unproved properties on the balance sheet as of April 30, 2010. As a component of the purchase agreement, the Company has agreed to assume from the seller, a 10% carried working interest to casing point in the first eight wells drilled on this prospect area.
2010–1 Drilling Program
In April 2010, the Company acquired a 5% working interest in the 2010-1 Drilling Program located in Garvin County, Oklahoma for total buy-in costs of $39,163. The Company recorded these amounts as unproved properties as of April 30, 2010. Although not completely estimable as of April 30, 2010, the anticipated expenditures related to the Company’s share of the drilling program are anticipated to be approximately $215,000 for the remainder of fiscal 2010.
NOTE 6 – LOAN PAYABLE
On April 19, 2010, the Company signed a loan agreement with Radium Ventures Corp (“Radium”), an unrelated party, for $55,000 at an interest rate of 6.5% per annum for a period of two years. The proceeds of the loan will be used for working capital in connection with its proposed exploration programs. The loan is unsecured, payable on demand and can be repaid anytime.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
We are a development stage company engaged in oil and gas exploration through participation in various exploration programs. Our original business plan was to acquire minerals claims to determine whether there were commercially exploitable reserves of minerals on the property comprising such mineral claims. In the year ended July 31, 2004, we acquired six mining claims in western Luna County, New Mexico collectively known as the Home Ranch Prospect. However, due to our lack of working capital, our ability to explore for minerals on these claims has become economically non-feasible. Therefore, we recorded an impairment loss of $875 during the year ended July 31, 2009 to write-down the property to a nominal value of $1.
For all periods prior to April 30, 2010, we considered ourselves a development stage enterprise and a mining company in the exploration stage. As of April 30, 2010, we have invested approximately $85,000 in oil and gas properties, and are participating in drilling and seismic programs. As a result, we have determined that as of April 30, 2010, we are no longer considered a mining company in the exploration stage, but rather a development stage enterprise. We have negotiated with a lender to obtain the funds necessary to finance our buy in costs and anticipated future costs of participation. As of April 30, 2010, we have working interests in two oil and gas projects, as further described below.
Oil and Gas Properties
State Red House #4 Project. We acquired a 10% working interest in the Vector Exploration Corporation State Red House #4 Project for a total buy-in cost of $833 plus dry hole costs in Nobel County, Oklahoma. Our working interest included leasehold interest, well bores, geological expenses, brokerage costs and overhead. During the year ended July 31, 2005, we sold our interest for $3,500 resulting in a $330 loss on the disposition which is recognized on the statements of operation.
Washita Bend 3D Exploration Project. On April 20, 2010, we acquired a 5% working interest in the Washita Bend 3D Exploration Project for a total buy-in cost of $46,250. The purchase agreement provides for the acquisition of approximately 135 square miles of 3D seismic data to identify drillable prospects in a study area comprising 119,680 acres in Oklahoma. The Washita prospect area is located in Cleveland, Garvin, McCain and Pottawatomie Counties, Oklahoma. We anticipate that data acquisition will begin in August 2010. Analysis of data will be ongoing. Drilling on the prospect may commence in late winter or early spring 2011, pending results of the seismic analysis. As a component of the purchase agreement, we agreed to assume from the seller, a 10% carried working interest to casing point in the first eight wells drilled on this prospect area. Our total funding commitment is expected to be $400,000 in addition to the buy in cost.
2010–1 Drilling Program. In April 2010, we acquired a 5% working interest in the 2010-1 Drilling Program located in Garvin County, Oklahoma for total buy-in costs of $39,163. The drilling program covers four prospects in Oklahoma. Although not completely estimable as of April 30, 2010, the anticipated expenditures related to our share of the drilling program are anticipated to be approximately $215,000 for the remainder of fiscal 2010.
Mineral Properties
During the year ended July 31, 2004, we acquired six unpatented lode mining claims. We must incur annual assessment work of $100 for each claim or pay an annual maintenance fee of $140 per claim. These claims are located in western Luna County, New Mexico and are collectively known as the Home Ranch Prospect. No exploration efforts have been conducted on our mineral property and, accordingly, the ultimate recovery of our investment in mineral property is dependent upon the discovery of commercially profitable ore reserves through future exploration efforts and the subsequent development or sale of such reserves.
Due to our lack of working capital, our ability to explore for minerals on these claims has become economically non-feasible. Therefore, any future cash flows from these claims are uncertain as to amount and
14
timing. We recorded an impairment loss of $875 during the year ended July 31, 2009 to write-down the property to a nominal value of $1.
Loans
On April 19, 2010, we borrowed $55,000 from Radium Ventures Corp. (“Radium”), an unrelated third party. The loan is an unsecured demand obligation that accrues interest at 6.5% per annum. The proceeds were used to fund the participation in the Washita project described above.
On May 11, 2010, we borrowed $50,000 from Radium. The loan is an unsecured demand obligation that accrues interest at 6.5% per annum. The proceeds were used to fund the participation in the 2010-1 Drilling program described above.
On May 15, 2010, we entered into a loan agreement with Radium, pursuant to which Radium has agreed to loan up to $1,000,000 through December 31, 2011, which date may be extended for an additional twelve months. Amounts loaned under the agreement are to be repaid within 36 months and accrue interest at 7.5% per annum. The loan is unsecured. We also agreed to issue Radium 50,000 restricted shares of our common stock for every $100,000 borrowed under the agreement. We, at our option, may borrow up to an additional $1,000,000 if we have exhausted the funds available under the agreement. We have not yet drawn down any amounts under this loan agreement.
Results of Operations
Three months ended April 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2009.
We had no revenues during the three months ended April 30, 2010 or 2009. During the three months ended April 30, 2010, we incurred expenses of $9,254, compared with $1,360 during the three months ended April 30, 2009, an increase of $7,894. The increase in our expenses was attributable primarily to increase in our general and administrative expenses, in particular, our accounting and audit, legal and website expenses.
Nine Months ended April 30, 2010 compared to April 30, 2009
We had no revenues during the nine months ended April 30, 2010 or 2009. During the nine months ended April 30, 2009, we incurred expenses of $33,842, compared with $14,193 during the nine months ended April 30, 2009, an increase of $19,649. The increase in our expenses was attributable primarily to increase in our general and administrative expenses, in particular, our accounting and audit, legal, and website expenses. Such expenses were incurred as we moved from nominal operations to operations as an oil and gas exploration company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 30, 2010, we had cash of $3,183, compared to cash of $89 as of July 31, 2009. Our working capital deficit at April 30, 2010 was $174,709, compared to $55,454 as of July 31, 2009. The increase in our working capital deficit was due primarily to losses for the period and increase in our loan payable as we moved from nominal operations to operations as an oil and gas exploration company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of April 30, 2010.
Going Concern
In its report prepared in connection with our 2009 financial statements, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph stating that, because we had an accumulated deficit of $85,453 and a working capital deficit of $55,453 at July 31, 2009, there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. At April 30, 2010, our accumulated deficit was $119,295 and our working capital deficit was $174,709. Our continued existence will depend in large part upon our ability to raise sufficient capital through debt
15
and equity offerings. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Development Stage. For all periods prior to April 30, 2010, we considered ourselves a development stage enterprise and a mining company in the exploration stage. As of April 30, 2010, we have invested approximately $85,000 in oil and gas properties, and are participating in drilling and seismic programs. As a result, we have determined that as of April 30, 2010, the Company is no longer considered a mining company in the exploration stage, but rather a development stage enterprise.
Oil and Gas Properties. We follow the full cost accounting method to account for oil and natural gas properties, whereby costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil and gas wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized to income.
The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, excluding unevaluated and unproved properties, are amortized using the units-of-production method based on estimated proved recoverable oil and gas reserves. Amortization of unevaluated and unproved property costs begins when the properties become proved or their values become impaired. Impairment of unevaluated and unproved prospects is assessed periodically based on a variety of factors, including management’s intention with regard to future exploration and development of individually significant properties and the ability of the Company to obtain funds to finance such exploration and development.
Under full cost accounting rules for each cost center, capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties, including asset retirement costs, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, may not exceed an amount (the “cost ceiling”) equal to the sum of (a) the present value of future net cash flows from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, discounted at 10%, plus (b) the cost of properties not being amortized, plus (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of any unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, less (d) any income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties involved. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to earnings.
Given the volatility of oil and gas prices, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves could change in the near term. If oil and gas prices decline in the future, even if only for a short period of time, it is possible that additional impairments of oil and gas properties could occur. In addition, it is reasonably possible that additional impairments could occur if costs are incurred in excess of any increases in the present value of future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, or if properties are sold for proceeds less than the discounted present value of the related proved oil and gas reserves.
Mineral Property. Our mineral property consists of leases on unpatented lode mining claims located in New Mexico. Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, the costs incurred to develop such property, including costs to further delineate the ore body and remove overburden to initially expose the ore body, are capitalized. Such costs and estimated future development costs are amortized using a unit-of-production basis over the estimated life of the ore body. Ongoing development expenditures to maintain production are charged to operations as incurred.
Significant expenditures directly related to the acquisition of exploration interests are capitalized. If a mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are amortized using a unit-of-production method. If no mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are expensed in the period in which it is determined the property has no future economic value.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-03 “Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures.” The ASU aligns the current oil and gas reserve estimation and disclosure requirements of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic
16
932, Extractive Activities — Oil and Gas, with those in SEC Final Rule Release No. 33-8995, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting. The ASU will be effective for reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2009. The adoption of ASC 810 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2008, the SEC issued revised reporting requirements for oil and natural gas reserves that a company holds. Included in the new rule entitled “Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting Requirements”, are the following changes: 1) permitting use of new technologies to determine proved reserves, if those technologies have been demonstrated empirically to lead to reliable conclusions about reserve volumes; 2) enabling companies to additionally disclose their probable and possible reserves to investors, in addition to their proved reserves; 3) allowing previously excluded resources, such as oil sands, to be classified as oil and natural gas reserves rather than mining reserves; 4) requiring companies to report the independence and qualifications of a preparer or auditor, based on current Society of Petroleum Engineers criteria; 5) requiring the filing of reports for companies that rely on a third party to prepare reserve estimates or conduct a reserve audit; and 6) requiring companies to report oil and natural gas reserves using an average price based upon the prior 12-month period, rather than year-end prices. The new requirements are effective for registration statements filed on or after January 1, 2010, and for annual reports on Form 10K for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that adoption of this rule will have on the Company’s financial disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on our present or future financial statements.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as statements made by us in periodic press releases and oral statements made by our officials to analysts and shareholders in the course of presentations about the Company, constitute “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, (1) general economic and business conditions; (2) interest rate changes; (3) the relative stability of the debt and equity markets; (4) government regulations particularly those related to the natural resources industries; (5) required accounting changes; (6) disputes or claims regarding our property interests; and (7) other factors over which we have little or no control.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our sole officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, requires us to carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2010, being the date of our most recently completed fiscal quarter end. This evaluation was implemented under the supervision and with the participation of our sole officer, Armando Garcia. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Garcia concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective since the following material weaknesses exist:
17
·
|
We rely on external consultants for the preparation of our financial statements and reports. As a result, our sole officer may not be able to identify errors and irregularities in the financial statements and reports.
|
·
|
We have a sole officer who is also the sole director. Therefore, there is an inherent lack of segregation of duties and a limited independent governing board.
|
·
|
We rely on an external consultant for administration functions, some of which do not have standard procedures in place for formal review by our sole officer.
|
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
In connection with the evaluation of our internal controls during our last fiscal quarter, our sole officer has concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
