HOMELAND RESOURCES LTD.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2013
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim financial statements of Homeland Resources Ltd. (“we”, “us”, “our”, “Homeland”, or the “Company”) are unaudited and contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year or for previously reported periods due in part, but not limited to, interest rates, drilling risks, geological risks, the timing of acquisitions, and our ability to obtain additional capital. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in Homeland’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2012, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 29, 2012. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
As of January 31, 2013, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $977,901 and for the six months ended January 31, 2013, our net loss was $186,798. Our results of operations have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $446,526 as of January 31, 2013. We have participated in the drilling of test wells on undeveloped properties. We plan further potential participation in drilling and seismic operations for the remainder of the fiscal year. It is difficult to anticipate our capital requirements for the remainder of the fiscal year as we participate in a seismic program wherein significant drilling activities may commence in the near future. We may need to raise equity or borrow additional capital to fund our continued participation in planned activities. If additional financing is not available, we may be compelled to reduce the scope of our business activities. If we are unable to fund our operating cash flow needs and planned capital investments, it may be necessary to sell all or a portion of our interests in our oil and gas properties.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable consists of amounts receivable from oil and gas sold from our well interests. As of January 31, 2013, our accounts receivable amounted to $22,500, all of which is due from one party, the operator of our oil and gas properties. Management believes this amount to be fully collectible; we will continue to monitor accounts receivable for collectability on a periodic basis.
Asset Retirement Obligation – Asset retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets are accounted for in accordance with ASC 410, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” The estimated fair value of the future costs associated with dismantlement, abandonment and restoration of oil and gas properties is recorded generally upon the completion of a well. The net estimated costs are discounted to present values using a risk adjusted rate over the estimated economic life of the oil and gas properties. Such costs are capitalized as part of the related asset. The asset is depleted on the units-of-production method on a field-by-field basis. The liability is periodically adjusted to reflect: (1) new liabilities incurred; (2) liabilities settled during the period; (3) accretion expense; and (4) revisions to estimated future cash flow requirements. The accretion expense is recorded as a component of depreciation, depletion accretion and amortization expense in the accompanying statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and interest payable. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2013
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes oil and gas revenue when production is sold at a fixed or determinable price, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
NOTE 4 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting standards-setting organizations frequently issue new or revised accounting rules. We regularly review all new pronouncements that have been issued to determine their impact, if any, on our financial statements.
There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature, reclassification of other comprehensive income or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Washita Bend 3D Exploration Project
In April 2010, we acquired a 5% working interest in the Washita Bend 3D Exploration Project for a total buy-in cost of $46,250. The project initially provided for the acquisition of approximately 135 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. As of January 31, 2013, all of the permitted area had been shot and data acquired. All initial or first run processing data had been completed and interpretation of the data and mapping as well as prospect delineation has been essentially completed. Regional structural and porosity mapping for the primary target formations had been completed and numerous prospective structural closures have been defined. Over 10,000 acres had initially been targeted for title research the majority of which has been completed. Leasing on a number of potential prospects had been completed. The possibility exists that additional leases may be negotiated. It is anticipated that a 25 to 30 well drilling program will commence on the prospect area in early spring 2013.

NOTE 5 – OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES (continued)
2010–1 Drilling Program
In April 2010, we acquired a 5% working interest in a drilling program located in Garvin County, Oklahoma for a total buy in cost of $39,163. The Company agreed to participate in the drilling operations to casing point in the initial test well of each prospect. The before casing point interest is 6.25% and the after casing point interest is 5.00%.
As of January 31, 2013, we have participated in the drilling of four test wells. Of the four wells, one was abandoned in October 2010 and three have been placed into production. Costs of $38,986 associated with the abandoned well have been moved to the proved properties.
The costs associated with the three wells that have been placed into production have been transferred to, proved properties.
Impairment
Under the full cost method, the Company is subject to a ceiling test. This ceiling test determines whether there is any impairment to the proved properties. The impairment amount represents the excess of capitalized costs over the present value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated future net cash flows from the proven oil and gas reserves plus the cost, or estimated fair market value.
Depletion
Under the full cost method, depletion is computed on the units of production method based on proved reserves, or upon reasonable estimates where proved reserves have not yet been established due to the recent commencement of production. Depletion expense recognized was $6,251 and $7,566 for the three month periods ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was $8,388 and $15,132 for the six month periods ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE

Interest expense incurred during the three-and six-month periods ended January 31, 2013 amounted to $13,152 and $26,304, respectively. Accrued interest expense related to these notes amounted to $124,662 and $98,358 at January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, respectively, and has been included in accrued liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet. During the six-month period ended January 31, 2013, the Company had no borrowings on the $1,000,000 loan facility with Radium Ventures Corp. (“Radium”). Advances under the loan bear interest at 7.5% and are payable within 36 months from the initial funding. Amounts payable under this facility become due on various dates beginning in June 2013. The ability to draw funds on this facility expired in December, 2011. The Company has issued the lender 50,000 restricted shares of common stock for every $100,000 borrowed under the loan facility.

NOTE 7– DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
The Company has recorded deferred financing costs in connection with the issuance of 250,000 shares of our common stock in connection with our $1,000,000 loan facility (Note 6). The Company considered ASC 835-30, “Interest – Imputation of Interest,” in recording these amounts. The Company recognizes debt issue costs on the balance sheet as deferred charges, and amortizes the balance over the term of the related debt. The Company amortized $4,289 and $4,289 of deferred financing costs for the three-month periods ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and amortized $8,578 and $9,949 of deferred financing costs for the six-month periods ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
NOTE 8 –STOCKHOLDERS’ (DEFICIT)
As of January 31, 2013, we had 250,000,000 and 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock and common stock authorized, respectively. 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock were designated as Series A Preferred Stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of January 31, 2013, there were nil and 60,800,000 shares of preferred stock and common stock outstanding, respectively.
During the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Company issued the following shares of our common stock:
·
|
500,000 shares were issued in connection with the appointment of our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer at $0.16 per share. In connection with the issuance of these shares we have recorded compensation expense of $80,000 which has been included in general and administrative expense on our unaudited statement of operations.
|
NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Although not completely estimable as of January 31, 2013, based on the terms of the Company’s original agreements with the operator, the Company anticipates additional expenditures related to its share of the drilling program during the remainder of the fiscal year, and that additional expenditures related to its seismic program may be significant during the remainder of the fiscal year as drilling may commence on the prospect area. In addition, should the Company choose to terminate its involvement in the seismic program, the Company may incur significant additional liabilities per the terms of its initial agreement with the operator.
NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of January 31, 2013, the Company owed $186,854 to a related party. As of January 31, 2013, amounts payable to the related party included $111,000 in connection with consulting services provided to the Company, while remaining amounts owed are related to expenses paid on behalf of the Company. During the three and six months ended January 31, 2013, the Company incurred $10,500 and $21,000, respectively, in consulting expense with the related party. The Company incurred $7,500 and $15,000, respectively, in consulting expense with the related party during the three and six months ended January 31, 2012.
NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated all transactions through the date of issuance of these financial statements and noted there are no subsequent events that would require disclosure.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
Our original business plan was to proceed with the exploration of the Home Ranch Prospect to determine whether there were commercially exploitable reserves of minerals located on the property comprising such mineral claims. In fiscal 2010, we determined that our ability to explore for minerals on these claims had become economically non-feasible and we therefore suspended our activities on the Home Ranch Prospect indefinitely in order to focus on our oil and gas interests. We did not conduct any operations or exploration activities on the Home Ranch Prospect during the six month period ended January 31, 2013. At the time of this report, we do not know when or if we will proceed with the Home Ranch Prospect.
In April 2010, we acquired working interests in a seismic exploration program as well as a drilling program in oil and gas properties located in Oklahoma, as further described below. Our present plan of operation is to continue to invest in oil and gas properties.

It is anticipated that a 25-to-30 well drilling program conducted over an 18-to-24 month period may commence on the prospect area in early spring 2013.

In April 2010, we acquired a 5% working interest in a Drilling Program located in Garvin County, Oklahoma. We have participated in the drilling of four exploratory wells on the prospect acreage. Of the four wells in which we had participated, as of January 31, 2013, three were in production.
Loans
For the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2013, we did not borrow any funds under the terms of our $1,000,000 loan facility. Amounts due under this credit facility begin to mature on various dates beginning in June, 2013.
Results of Operations
Three months ended January 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended January 31, 2012.
Revenues - We recognized $45,157 in revenues during the three months ended January 31, 2013, compared with $67,102 for the three months ended January 31, 2012. The decrease in revenue recognized of $21,945 or 33% relates to decreased production volumes. Decreased production volumes resulted primarily from statutory production limits placed on production. These limits were significant in May through August 2012. Limits began to ease in September, 2012. Production has not yet resumed at pre-limitation levels. Other decreases in production volume result from natural decline curves in the wells in which we have ownership interests.
Expenses - During the three months ended January 31, 2013, we incurred operating expenses of $145,807 as compared to $44,378 during the three months ended January 31, 2012, resulting in an increase of $101,429 or 229%. The increase in direct costs is primarily attributable to the following;
10
·
|
increased lease operating expenses of $5,557 as compared to $5,193 in the corresponding prior period
|
·
|
increased related party consulting fees of $10,500 as compared to $7,500 in the corresponding prior period
|
·
|
increased general and administrative expense to $123,161 as compared to $24,055 in the corresponding prior period. Increases in general and administrative expense relate primarily to increased share based compensation; of $80,000 as described further below and marketing and promotions expense of $17,000, as compared to $0 and $0 in the prior period.
|
Increases in operating expenses were offset slightly by a decrease in depreciation, depletion and accretion (“DD&A”) expense of $6,589 as compared to $7,630 in the corresponding prior period. The decrease in DD&A resulted primarily from decreases in production volumes.
|
In January 2013, we appointed Paul D. Maniscalco to serve as our chief operating officer and chief financial officer. We granted 500,000 shares of common stock, valued at $80,000, to Mr. Maniscalco in connection with this appointment.
Other expenses– We incurred $17,441 in other expenses during the three months ended January 31, 2013 as compared to $17,441 during the three months ended January 31, 2012. Charges to other expense relate to interest expense related to our loans and the amortization of deferred financing costs. Outstanding balances on our loans remain consistent with the corresponding prior period, thus associated interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees remain consistent with the corresponding prior period.
Six months ended January 31, 2013 compared to the six months ended January 31, 2012.
Revenues - We recognized $56,140 in revenues during the six months ended January 31, 2013, compared with $127,654 for the six months ended January 31, 2012. The decrease in revenue recognized of $71,514 or 56% relates to decreased production volumes. Decreased production volumes resulted primarily from statutory production limits placed on production. These limits were significant in May through August 2012. Limits began to ease in September, 2012. Production has not yet resumed at pre-limitation levels. Other decreases in production volume result from natural decline curves in the wells in which we have ownership interests.
Expenses - During the six months ended January 31, 2013, we incurred operating expenses of $208,056 as compared to $106,504 during the six months ended January 31, 2012, resulting in an increase of $101,552 or 95%. The increase in direct costs is primarily attributable to the following:
·
|
increased general and administrative expenses to $168,962 as compared to $66,309 in the corresponding prior period. Increases in general and administrative expense relate primarily to increased share based compensation of $80,000 (as described elsewhere herein) as compared to $0 in the corresponding prior period, marketing and promotions expense of $17,000 as compared to $0 in the corresponding prior period and increases in legal expense and management fees.
|
·
|
increased in related party consulting fees of $21,000 as compared to $15,000 in the corresponding prior period.
|
Increases in operating expenses were offset slightly by lease operating expenses of $9,573 as compared to $9,938 in the corresponding prior period, and DD&A expense of $8,521 as compared to $15,257 in the corresponding prior period.
|
Other expenses– We incurred $34,882 in other expenses during the six months ended January 31, 2013 as compared to $36,253 during the six months ended January 31, 2012 resulting in a decrease of $1,371 or 4%. The decrease in other expenses is attributable a decrease in the amortization of deferred financing costs as these costs begin to reach their terminal value.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of January 31, 2013, we had cash of $45,134 compared to cash of $143,552 as of July 31, 2012. Our working capital deficit at January 31, 2013 was $977,901, compared to $856,831 as of July 31, 2012. The increase in our working capital deficit relates to decreased cash balances resulting from increases in cash used in operations
11
coupled with increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and increases in accounts payable due to related parties offset by increases in prepaid expenses.
We anticipate that we will be required to make additional expenditures relating to our share of the drilling programs during the remainder of the fiscal year. We anticipate that we will have additional capital requirements related to our ongoing participation in our seismic program. While we have over $45,000 of cash currently, such cash may not be sufficient to meet our requirements under our existing agreements. The ability to draw funds from our loan facility with Radium expired on December 31, 2011. Although we are in negotiations with Radium to extend such loan facility, there is no assurance that an agreement can be finalized before we are required to make any expenditures for these drilling programs in excess of what we hold in cash. If we exhaust all our cash, are unable to timely arrange for new financing, and do not pay our share of drilling program costs, we will be in default of our agreements. In such event, we may incur significant liabilities per our initial agreement with the operator, forfeit our rights to our interest and be forced to impair our interest in the Washita Bend Project.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of January 31, 2013.
Going Concern
In its report prepared in connection with our fiscal year 2012 financial statements, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph stating that, because we had an accumulated deficit of $259,728 and a working capital deficit of $856,831 at July 31, 2012, there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. At January 31, 2013, our accumulated deficit was $446,526. Our continued existence will depend in large part upon our ability to raise sufficient additional capital adequate to fund our participation in drilling and seismic programs through debt and or equity offerings. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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) the prices of oil and gas; (2) general economic and business conditions; (3) interest rate changes; (4) the relative stability of the debt and equity markets; (5) government regulations particularly those related to the natural resources industries; (6) required accounting changes; (7) disputes or claims regarding our property interests; and (8) other factors over which we have little or no control.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
12
Our Chief Financial Officer and President have assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of January 31, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In conducting their evaluation, our Chief Financial Officer and President considered advice from our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, StarkSchenkein, LLP (“StarkSchenkein”), that based on several minor corrections to our financial statements and related disclosures proposed by StarkSchenkein, there may be material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. Specifically, the following deficiencies are noted:
·
|
We do not have an Audit Committee. Although we are not legally required to have one, this means that we do not have entity control over our financial statements.
|
·
|
We do not have proper segregation of duties for the preparation of our financial statements, resulting in journal entries being prepared and approved by the same person and lack of entity control over the preparation of financial statements.
|
As a result of these deficiencies in our internal controls, our Chief Financial Officer and President concluded further that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures may not be effective and that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
Our Chief Financial Officer and President also considered various mitigating factors in making their determination. Our Chief Financial Officer and President also noted that we are still evaluating and implementing changes in our internal controls in response to the requirements of Sarbanes Oxley §404. During fiscal year ending July 31, 2013, we will continue to implement appropriate changes as they are identified, including changes to remediate material weaknesses in our internal controls.
Changes In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
In connection with the evaluation of our internal controls during our last fiscal quarter, our Chief Financial Officer and President have concluded that there were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
