HOMELAND RESOURCES, LTD
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2015
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Homeland Resources Ltd. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “Homeland”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 8, 2003. The Company’s principal historical activities had been the acquisition of a mineral property in the State of New Mexico. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2010, the Company began to acquire working interests in a seismic exploration program as well as a drilling program in crude oil and natural gas properties primarily in Oklahoma. (Note 8) |
Effective September 30, 2014, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to (i) decrease the number of authorized common stock from 500,000,000 to 100,000,000 with a par value of $0.0001 per share, and (ii) to reverse split the number of outstanding shares on a 5-to-1 basis. |
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, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 14, 2014. 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 April 30, 2015, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $738,764 and for the nine months ended April 30, 2015, our net loss was $5,689,503. Our results of operations have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $7,273,092 and a total stockholders’ deficit of $702,894 as of April 30, 2015. We plan no further participation in any drilling programs for the remainder of calendar 2015 and during the remainder of the fiscal year. It is difficult to anticipate our capital requirements for the remainder of the fiscal year as expenses related to our ongoing ownership in crude oil and natural gas properties may be unpredictable, in addition we have cash requirements related to our initial January 15, 2015, Letter Agreement with TeleSecurity Sciences, Inc. (“TSS”) under which we agreed to purchase $7,500,000 of TSS’s common stock (Note 5). If additional financing is not available, we will be compelled to reduce the scope of our ongoing business activities further and or default on our Letter Agreement with TSS. If we are unable to fund our operating cash flow needs, it may be necessary to sell all or a portion of our remaining interests in our crude oil and natural gas properties. 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. 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 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable consists of amounts receivable from crude oil and natural gas sold from our well interests. As of April 30, 2015, our accounts receivable amounted to $2,000, all of which is due from one party, the operator of our crude oil and natural gas properties. Management believes this amount to be fully collectible; we will continue to monitor amounts 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 crude oil and natural gas |

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2015
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 crude oil and natural 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. |
Concentrations - The Company received 100% of its revenues from the operator of its crude oil and natural gas properties during the fiscal quarters ended April 30, 2015 and 2014. |
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. |
Fair Value - The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, stock based compensation and derivative liabilities approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company has adopted FASB ASC 360, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which requires that long-lived assets to be held be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. ASC 360 establishes a single auditing model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. |
Income Taxes - The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method prescribed by FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial statement amounts and the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities by applying statutory rates in effect when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Based upon the level of historical losses and the level of uncertainty with respect to future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, a full valuation allowance has been provided. |
Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes crude oil and natural 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. |
Debt with Conversion Options – The company accounts for convertible debentures in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which applies to all convertible debt instruments that have a “net settlement feature,” which means instruments that by their terms may be settled either wholly or partially in cash upon conversion. Accordingly, the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled wholly or partially in cash upon conversion should be accounted for separately in a manner reflective of their issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. Conversion features determined to be beneficial to the holder are valued at fair value and recorded to additional paid in capital. Any discount derived from determining the fair value to the debenture conversion features is amortized to interested expense over the life of the debenture. The unamortized costs, if any, upon the conversion of the debentures is expensed to interest immediately. |
Derivative Financial Instruments – The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. |

HOMELAND RESOURCES, LTD
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2015
The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt, equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. The Company may also issue options or warrants to non-employees in connection with consulting or other services. |
Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For warrant-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received, an immediate charge to income is recognized, in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value. |
The discount from the face value of the convertible debt or equity instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, usually using the effective interest method. |
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date. |
NOTE 4 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This ASU requires the Company to disclose both net and gross information about assets and liabilities that have been offset. The disclosures under this new guidance are required to be provided retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The Company was required to implement this guidance effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-Forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-Forward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 addresses the diversity in practice that exists for the balance sheet presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists. ASU 2013-11 requires that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward. ASU No. 2013-11 is in effect for our fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2015. ASU 2013-11 impacted the balance sheet presentation only. The adoption of ASU No 2013-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. |
In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which converges the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board standard on revenue recognition. Areas of revenue recognition that will be affected include, but are not limited to, transfer of control, variable consideration, allocation of transfer pricing, licenses, time value of money, contract costs and disclosures. |

HOMELAND RESOURCES, LTD
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2015
This is effective for the fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. |
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10 “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation” (“ASU 2014-10”). ASU 2014-10 addresses the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements for development stage entities, such as startup companies, without compromising the availability of relevant information and eliminates an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The Company elected to apply ASU 2014-10 for our fiscal year ended July 31, 2014. ASU 2014-10 impacts financial statement presentation only and removes the requirement to present additional inception-to-date information. |
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which provides guidance requiring that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This is effective for the fiscal years and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-12 will have on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. |
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Specifically, ASU 2014-15 provides a definition of the term substantial doubt and requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). It also requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans and requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated. The new standard will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company will evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU; however, as of the current period, management believes that is current disclosures meet the requirement under this ASU. |
NOTE 5 – ACQUISITION AGREEMENT
On January 15, 2015, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with TSS, under which we agreed to purchase $7,500,000 of TSS’s common stock and were granted a warrant to purchase an additional $7,500,000 of TSS common stock. Upon completion of its stock purchases, including exercise of the warrants, we will own 50% of the capital stock of TSS. In addition, upon completion of the stock purchases, it is the intention of the parties that TSS and the Company enter into a business combination transaction which would result in a combination of the two companies with our shareholders owning 50% of the capital stock of the combined companies. TSS is a Delaware corporation, based in Nevada, engaged in the development of advanced imaging systems and devices for both the medical and security fields. |
Under the terms of the Letter Agreement which was scheduled to close on February 15, 2015, we will purchase 743,373 shares of the common stock of TSS (representing approximately 25% of TSS’s outstanding common stock) and a warrant (the “A” Warrant) to purchase an additional 743,373 shares of common stock of TSS (approximately 25%). Of the shares to be acquired, 99,116 shares will be fully paid with the payment of $1,000,000 in cash at the closing and 644,257 (the “Partially Paid Shares”) will be partially paid for at closing. The Company will pay for the Partially Paid Shares by making 20 payments of $300,000 per month commencing April 15, 2015 and a final payment of $500,000 on December 15, 2016. A proportionate amount of the Partially Paid Shares will become fully paid with each payment. |

HOMELAND RESOURCES, LTD
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2015
The “A” Warrant will be exercisable until January 15, 2017. Exercise of the “A” Warrant will be subject to the purchase price for the Partially Paid Shares being fully paid. The Company will exercise the “A” Warrant by paying $2,000,000 in cash to TSS, together with a $5,500,000 secured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) bearing interest at 5% per annum and payable in 11 monthly installments of $500,000 plus accrued interest. |
At the Closing, the Company will also acquire an additional warrant (the “B” Warrant) entitling it to purchase a number of shares of common stock of TSS equal to 50% of the amount of shares issued by TSS to third parties prior to a business combination with the Company as a result of the exercise of stock options or warrants of TSS (other than the warrants issued to the Company). The purpose of the “B” Warrant is to protect the Company from dilution accruing from the exercises of outstanding options and warrants of TSS prior to a business combination between the parties. The exercise price of the “B” Warrant will be equal to 50% of the aggregate exercise price paid to TSS by third parties exercising options or warrants. Exercise of the “B” Warrant will be subject to the purchase price for the Partially Paid Shares being fully paid, and the “A” Warrant being exercised and the Promissory Note being fully paid. |
Upon the purchase price for the Partially Paid Shares being fully paid, the “A” Warrant being exercised and the Promissory Note being fully paid, the Company and TSS have agreed to use the best efforts to enter into and cause their respective shareholders to approve a business combination between the parties (the “Business Combination”) on terms (without taking into account shares issuable on exercise of options and warrants outstanding) that would result in an entity (the “Resulting Entity”) being owned 50% by the Company’s shareholders and 50% by TSS shareholders. During the first year following the Business Combination, TSS shall be entitled to nominate three of the Resulting Entity’s five directors and the Chief Executive Officer of TSS would be appointed to as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the resulting entity combined entity. |
As of February 15, 2015, we failed to close on the initial purchase of shares per the terms in the January 15, 2015 Letter Agreement. On March 10, 2015, an Extension of the closing and payment dates under the Letter Agreement (“Extension”) was executed. In connection with the Extension the initial closing was extended from February 15, 2015 to May 15, 2015, and all other payment dates were also moved forward 90 days. In connection with the execution of the Extension the Company paid $19,000 of TSS’s legal costs related to the execution of the Extension. |

In connection with this second Extension, we agreed to pay TSS $5,000, the parties agreed to extend the extended closing date from May 15, 2015 to July 15, 2015, and all other closing and payment dates were also deferred 60 days. |
NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company utilizes the guidance under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. |
ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data and requires disclosures for assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy. Further new authoritative accounting guidance (ASU 2009-05) under ASC Topic 820, provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liabilities is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update. |
The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following: |

Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. |
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair values of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrant and option derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes model. |
The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the derivative liabilities and embedded conversion option liabilities contained in various convertible notes payable which the Company is party to as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. |
The following table sets forth the liabilities as April 30, 2015, which are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement: |

Impairment |
Under the full cost method, the Company is subject to a ceiling test. This ceiling test determines whether there is 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 crude oil and natural gas reserves plus the cost, or estimated fair market value. We recorded no impairment expense for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2015, and we recorded impairment expense of $663,179 for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2014. |

Depletion expense recognized was $2,225 and $24,092 for the three month periods ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and was $8,367 and $62,650 for the nine month periods ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |
NOTE 9 – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
As of April 30, 2015, the Company recognized the future cost to plug and abandon its wells over the estimated useful lives of the wells. The liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related long-lived asset is recorded at the time a well is cased and being made ready for production. The Company amortizes the amount added to the crude oil and natural gas properties and will recognize accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining life of the respective well. The estimated liability is based on historical experience in plugging and abandoning wells, estimated useful lives based on engineering studies, external estimates as to the cost to plug and abandon wells in the future and federal and state regulatory requirements. The liability is a discounted liability using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 7.5%. |
Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in plugging and abandonment costs, well useful lives or if federal or state regulators enact new guidance on the plugging and abandonment of wells. |
The Company will amortize the amount added to crude oil and natural gas properties and will recognize accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining useful lives of the respective wells. |

(B) | On September 8, 2014, we issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $88,500. Under the terms of the Convertible Note, the Company agreed to repay the principal amount of $88,500 plus interest accrued at a rate of 8% per annum on June 12, 2015. On December 31, 2014, we borrowed and agreed to repay $33,000 plus interest accrued at a rate of 8% from the same lender with the note maturing on October 1, 2015. We retained the right to prepay the principal and accrued interest on both notes in full upon giving three trading days prior written notice by paying a premium of 15% if paid within 30 days of the issue date increasing by 5% per month to a maximum of 40% if paid within 180 days following the issue date, after which the Company has no further rights of prepayment of the Convertible Notes. |
At any time commencing 180 days from the date of issuance of the Convertible Note, the lender has the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and interest of the Convertible Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 61% of the average of the lowest five closing bid prices for the Company’s common stock during the 10 trading days prior to the conversion date, subject to a limitation that the lender and its affiliates cannot at any time hold, as a result of conversion, more than 4.9% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. |
In connection with these conversion features we have recorded debt discounts in the amount of $88,500 and $33,000 on the notes respectively related to the Level III fair value measurement of the conversion features on the day one issuance of the debt. This discount will be accreted over the term of the instrument.

The 2014 and 2015 Plans allow us to grant certain options to our directors, officers, employees, and eligible consultants. The purpose of the 2014 and 2015 Plans is to enhance our long-term stockholder value by offering opportunities to our directors, officers, employees, and eligible consultants to acquire and maintain stock ownership in us in order to give these persons the opportunity to participate in our growth and success, and to encourage them to remain in our service. |
The 2015 and 2014 Plans allow us to grant options to our officers, directors, and employees. In addition, we may grant options to individuals who act as our consultants, so long as those consultants do not provide services connected to the offer or sale of our securities in capital raising transactions and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for our securities. |
A total of 3,200,000 shares of our common stock are available for issuance under the 2014 Plan. A total of 5,000,000 shares are available for issuance under the 2015 plan. We may increase the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be optioned and sold under the 2015 and 2014 Plans provided the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be optioned and sold under the 2015 and 2014 Plans shall at no time be greater than 15% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding. |
The 2015 and 2014 Plans provide for the grant of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options granted under the 2014 Plan are those intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” as defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, in order to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, the 2014 Plan must be approved by our stockholders within 12 months of its adoption. The 2014 Plan has not been approved by our stockholders. Non-qualified stock options granted under the 2014 Plan are option grants that do not qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. |
Options granted under the 2015 and 2014 Plans are non-transferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. |
The 2015 plan terminates on April 10, 2025 and the 2014 Plan terminates on October 8, 2024, unless sooner terminated by action of our Board of Directors. No option is exercisable by any person after such expiration. If an award expires, terminates or is canceled, the shares of our common stock not purchased thereunder shall again be available for issuance under the 2015 and 2014 Plans. |
On April 10, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 3,500,000 and 1,500,000 shares under the terms of the 2015 and 2014 Plans respectively. |

Introduction
The following discussion and analysis summarizes our plan of operation for the next twelve months, our results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2015, and changes in our financial condition from July 31, 2014. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on November 11, 2014.
General
We were organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 8, 2003. We are an independent crude oil and natural gas exploration company, and we have participated in various exploration and seismic programs.
Until fiscal 2009, our focus was on our undeveloped mineral interests and the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. We no longer hold any interests in any mining or mineral claims. In fiscal 2010, we began to focus on our crude oil and natural gas interests
In April 2010, we acquired working interests in a seismic exploration program as well as a drilling program in crude oil and natural gas properties located in Oklahoma, as further described below. Our present plan of operation is to continue to maintain our working interests existing crude oil and natural gas properties, while continuing to pursue other opportunities as described further below.
Acquisition Agreement
On January 15, 2015, we entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with TeleSecurity Sciences Inc. (“TSS”), under which we agreed to purchase $7,500,000 of TSS’s common stock and were granted a warrant to purchase an additional $7,500,000 of TSS common stock. Upon completion of its stock purchases, including exercise of the warrants, we will own 50% of the capital stock of TSS. In addition, upon completion of the stock purchases, it is the intention of the parties that the parties enter into a business combination transaction which would result in a combination of the two companies with our shareholders owning 50% of the capital stock of the combined companies. TSS is a Delaware corporation, based in Nevada, engaged in the development of advanced imaging systems and devices for both the medical and security fields.
Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, which was scheduled to close on February 15, 2015, we will purchase 743,373 shares of the common stock of TSS (representing approximately 25% of TSS’s outstanding common stock) and a warrant (the “A” Warrant) to purchase an additional 743,373 shares of common stock of TSS (approximately 25%). Of the shares to be acquired, 99,116 shares will be fully paid with the payment of $1,000,000 in cash at the closing and 644,257 (the “Partially Paid Shares”) will be partially paid for at closing. We will pay for the Partially Paid Shares by making 20 payments of $300,000 per month commencing April 15, 2015, and a final payment of $500,000 on December 15, 2016. A proportionate amount of the Partially Paid Shares will become fully paid with each payment.
22
The “A” Warrant will be exercisable until January 15, 2017. Exercise of the “A” Warrant will be subject to the purchase price for the Partially Paid Shares being fully paid. We will exercise the “A” Warrant by paying $2,000,000 in cash to TSS, together with a $5,500,000 secured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) bearing interest at 5% per annum and payable in 11 monthly installments of $500,000 plus accrued interest.
At closing, we will also acquire an additional warrant (the “B” Warrant) entitling us to purchase a number of shares of common stock of TSS equal to 50% of the amount of shares issued by TSS to third parties prior to a business combination with us as a result of the exercise of stock options or warrants of TSS (other than the warrants issued to us). The purpose of the “B” Warrant is to protect us from dilution accruing from the exercises of outstanding options and warrants of TSS prior to a business combination between the parties. The exercise price of the “B” Warrant will be equal to 50% of the aggregate exercise price paid to TSS by third parties exercising options or warrants. Exercise of the “B” Warrant will be subject to the purchase price for the Partially Paid Shares being fully paid, and the “A” Warrant being exercised and the Promissory Note being fully paid.
Upon the purchase price for the Partially Paid Shares being fully paid, the “A” Warrant being exercised and the Promissory Note being fully paid, we and TSS have agreed to use the best efforts to enter into and cause each parties respective shareholders to approve a business combination between the parties (the “Business Combination”) on terms (without taking into account shares issuable on exercise of options and warrants outstanding) that would result in an entity (the “Resulting Entity”) being owned 50% by our shareholders and 50% by TSS shareholders. During the first year following the Business Combination, TSS shall be entitled to nominate three of the Resulting Entity’s five directors and the Chief Executive Officer of TSS would be appointed to as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the resulting entity combined entity.
As of February 15, 2015, we failed to close on the initial purchase of shares per the terms in the January 15, 2015 Letter Agreement. On March 10, 2015, an Extension of the closing and payment dates under the Letter Agreement (“Extension”) was executed. In connection with the Extension the initial closing was extended from February 15, 2015 to May 15, 2015, and all other payment dates were also moved forward 90 days. In connection with the execution of the Extension the Company paid $19,000 of TSS’s legal costs related to the Extension.
On May 15, 2015, we further extended the closing date and payment dates under the terms of the March 10, 2015 extension to the Letter Agreement dated January 15, 2015 with TSS. In connection with this second Extension, we agreed to pay TSS $5,000, the parties agreed to extend the extended closing date from May 15, 2015 to July 15, 2015, and all other closing and payment dates were also deferred 60 days.
Crude Oil and Natural Gas Properties
“Bbl” is defined herein to mean one stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, used in reference to oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.
“Mcf” is defined herein to mean one thousand cubic feet of natural gas at standard atmospheric conditions.
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 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 was located in Cleveland, Garvin, McCain and Pottawatomie Counties, Oklahoma. In May 2013, drilling commenced on the first of an anticipated 8-well Phase-I exploration program.
Results of the Phase-1 exploration program were largely uneconomic. Of the six wells in which we participated in drilling activities five were deemed to be uneconomic. We failed to participate in the drilling of the remaining two wells in the Phase-1 program inasmuch we have forfeited our right to seismic data gathered in connection with the program.
23
During the fiscal year ended of July 31, 2014, we recorded total impairment expense of $770,631 of which $463,550 related to the relative value of seven wells worth of seismic data, forfeited due to our failure to participate in the drilling of a total of eight wells in the Phase-I exploration program as described above. Additional impairment expense of $307,081was incurred in connection with capitalized costs exceeding ceiling test limits.
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. Of the four wells in which we participated related to this program, three wells went on production, and we maintain a working interest in two of these wells.

Results of Operations
Crude Oil and Natural Gas
The following table sets forth summary information regarding crude oil and natural gas production, average sales prices and average production costs for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014. We determined the BOE using the ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to one BOE. The ratios of six Mcf of natural gas to one BOE does not assume price equivalency and, given price differentials, the price for a BOE for natural gas may differ significantly from the price for a barrel of oil.

Revenues - We recognized $2,768 in revenues during the three months ended April 30, 2015, compared with $8,757 for the three months ended April 30, 2014. The decrease in revenue during fiscal 2015 is primarily attributable to decreased crude oil production volumes resulting primarily from the sale of our interests in a producing well effective November 1, 2013, coupled with natural decline curves in wells in which we retain a working interest, and significant decreases in realized oil prices. In addition to the decreases in crude oil sales revenue were decreases in natural gas sales volumes. Decreased gas sales volumes result from the natural decline curves in wells in which we retain a working interest.

For the three months ended April 30, 2015, we incurred a net loss of $451,781 as compared to a net loss of $751,844 for the three months ended April 30, 2014. The decrease in net loss is attributable to a non-recurring loss on impairment recorded in the prior period, offset by decreases in revenue during the period as discussed above, increases in derivative expense of $14,389 and change (income) in fair value of derivative liabilities of $164,042, and increases in general and administrative expenses of $488,937, partially offset by a decrease in depletion, depletion and accretion of $21,859.

During the three months ended April 30, 2015, we incurred operating expenses of $537,968 as compared to $745,015 during the three months ended April 30, 2014, resulting in a decrease of $207,047. The decrease in direct costs is primarily attributable to the following:
General and Administrative Expense – General and Administrative Expense increased to $534,260 as compared to $45,323 in the corresponding prior period. The increase related primarily to increases in share based compensation, consulting fees, legal expense, and directors fees. The increase in share based compensation relates to options issued to management and consultants under the 2015 and 2014 Stock Option Plans. Increased consulting fees during the current period relate to ongoing activities related to our acquisition agreement with TSS and the execution of a Fiscal Advisory Agreement. Increased legal expense during the current period relates to increased utilization related to out 5-to-1 reverse stock split, adoption of our 2014 and 2015 Stock Incentive Plans and ongoing activities related acquisition agreement with TSS. Increased directors fees during the current period relate to the appointment of new officers and directors in July, 2014.
These increases were offset by:
Lease Operating Expense – Lease operating expense decreased to $1,400 during the three months ended April 30, 2015, from $1,846 for the three months ended April 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreased operating charges from the operator of our wells. On a BOE basis, Lease Operating Expense increased to $18.77 per BOE from $7.12 per BOE as the result of decreased production volumes to which we would allocate recurring monthly lease operating expenses such as electric, maintenance and transportation charges.
Depreciation, Depletion and Accretion (“DDA”) – DDA decreased to $2,308 as compared to $24,167 in the corresponding prior period, DDA decreased primarily as the result of the disposition of our interest in a producing well effective November 1, 2013, and in turn the relief of the corresponding amount of proved reserves, coupled with decreased production volumes.
Impairment of oil and gas properties - Impairment charges of $nil as compared to $663,179 in the corresponding prior period impairment expense consisted of $463,550, the relative value of seven wells worth of data, related to forfeiture of seismic data for our failure to participate in the drilling of the remaining two wells in the Phase-1 exploration program, and $199,629 related to the book basis of properties which exceeded the total amount of the present value of future net revenue and the cost of properties not being amortized (net of impairment).
27
Consulting Expenses - Decreases in related party consulting fees to $nil as compared to $10,500 in the corresponding period. Decreased related party consulting expense relates to the decreased utilization of certain parties whom had been classified as related in prior reporting periods.
Other Income (Expenses) – We recognized $83,419 in other income during the three months ended April 30, 2015, as compared to other expenses of $15,586 during the three months ended April 30, 2014, resulting in a change of $99,005. The change in other income (expenses) is attributable to derivative expense recorded on the notes payable issued during the current period, and fair value adjustments of the derivative liabilities, as well as increased interest expense due to amortization of debt discounts associated with the new convertible notes.
Nine months ended April 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2014.
Revenues - We recognized $13,415 in revenues during the nine months ended April 30, 2015, compared with $68,673 for the nine months ended April 30, 2014. The decrease in revenue during fiscal 2015 is primarily attributable to decreased crude oil production volumes resulting primarily from the sale of our interests in a producing well effective November 1, 2013, coupled with natural decline curves in wells in which we retain a working interest, and decreases in realized oil prices. In addition to the decreases in crude oil sales revenue were decreases in natural gas sales volumes. Decreased gas sales volumes result from the natural decline curves in wells in which we retain a working interest.

For the nine months ended April 30, 2015, we incurred a net loss of $5,689,503 as compared to a net loss of $723,067 for the nine months ended April 30, 2014. The increase in net loss of $4,966,436 is primarily attributable to the gain on conveyance recorded in the prior period offset by the loss on conversion of notes payable of $4,629,257, decreases in revenue during the period as discussed above, increases in derivative expense of $96,301 and change (income) in fair value of derivative liabilities of $105,975, and increases in general and administrative expenses of $826,895, partially offset by a decrease in depletion, depletion and accretion.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2015, we incurred operating expenses of $957,546 as compared to $877,676 during the nine months ended April 30, 2014, resulting in an increase of $79,870. The increase in direct costs is primarily attributable to the following:
28
Lease Operating Expense – Lease operating expense increased to $7,457 during the nine months ended April 30, 2015, from $5,548 for the nine months ended April 30, 2014. The increase is primarily attributable to increased electric charges from the operator of our wells. On a BOE basis, Lease Operating Expense increased to $28.68 per BOE from $5.58 per BOE as the result of decreased production volumes to which we would allocate recurring monthly lease operating expenses such as electric, maintenance and transportation charges.
General and Administrative Expense – General and administrative expense increased to $941,475 as compared to $114,580 in the corresponding prior period, related primarily to increases in share based compensation, consulting fees, legal expense, and directors fees. The increase in share based compensation relates to options issued to management and consultants under the 2015 and 2014 Stock Option Plans. Increased consulting fees during the current period relate to ongoing activities related to our potential pending transaction with TSS, and the execution of a Fiscal Advisory Agreement. Increased legal expense during the current period relates to increased utilization related to out 5-to-1 reverse stock split, adoption of 2014 and 2015 Stock Incentive Plans and ongoing activities related to our potential pending transaction with TSS. Increased directors fees during the current period relate to the appointment of new officers and directors in July, 2014.
These increases were partially offset by:
Depreciation, Depletion and Accretion (“DDA”) – DDA decreased to $8,614 as compared to $62,869 in the corresponding prior period, DDA, decreased primarily as the result of the disposition of our interest in a producing well effective November 1, 2013, and in turn the relief of the corresponding amount of proved reserves, coupled with decreased production volumes.

Consulting Expenses - Decreases in related party consulting fees to $nil as compared to $31,500 in the corresponding period. Decreased related party consulting expense relates to the decreased utilization of certain parties whom had been classified as related in prior reporting periods.
Other Income (Expenses) – We incurred $4,745,372 in other expenses during the nine months ended April 30, 2015, as compared to $62,042 during the nine months ended April 30, 2014, resulting in an increase of $4,683,330. The increase in other expenses is attributable to the loss on conversion of notes payable of $4,629,257, derivative expense recorded on the notes payable issued during the current period of $96,301, and fair value adjustments (income) of the derivative liabilities of $105,975, as well as increased interest expense due to amortization of debt discounts associated with the new convertible notes.

Net Cash Provided By (Used in) Operating Activities. The changes in net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 are attributable to our net income adjusted for non-cash charges as presented in the statements of cash flows and changes in working capital as discussed above.
Net Cash Provided By (Used in) Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 was related to our expenditures on crude oil and natural gas properties as well as our participation in drilling and seismic programs, offset by proceeds received from the conveyance of our working interests in crude oil and natural gas properties.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. On September 8, 2014, we issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $88,500. Under the terms of the convertible note, we agreed to repay the principal amount of $88,500 plus interest accrued at a rate of 8% per annum on June 12, 2015. The Convertible Note matured on June 12, 2015, and the remaining principal balance of $53,500 and accrued interest is past due and in default. On December 31, 2014, we borrowed and agreed to repay $33,000 plus interest accrued at a rate of 8% from the same lender with the note maturing on October 1, 2015. We retained the right to prepay the principal and accrued interest on both notes in full upon giving three trading days prior written notice by paying a premium of 15% if paid within 30 days of the issue date increasing by 5% per month to a maximum of 40% if paid within 180 days following the issue date, after which we have no further rights of prepayment of the convertible notes. On December 30, 2014, we issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $25,000. Under the terms of the convertible note, we agreed to repay the principal amount of $25,000 plus accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum due on December 23, 2015. We retained the right to prepay the principal and accrued interest on both notes in full upon giving three trading days prior written notice by paying a premium of 15% if paid within 30 days of the issue date increasing by 6% per month to a maximum of 45% if paid within 180 days following the issue date, after which we have no further rights of prepayment of the convertible notes. On January 22, 2015, we issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $70,000. Under the terms of the convertible note, we agreed to repay the principal amount of $70,000 plus interest at a rate of 10% per annum in five equal installments of $14,000, plus accrued interest commencing on July 22, 2015. We have the right, subject to certain condition, to prepay the outstanding balance by paying a premium of 25%. On March 6, 2015, we issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $16,500. Under the terms of the convertible note, we agreed to repay the principal amount of $16,500 plus accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum due on December 10, 2015. The borrowing was effective March 19, 2015. We retained the right to prepay the principal and accrued interest on the note in full upon giving three trading days prior written notice by paying a premium of 15% if paid within 30 days of the issue date increasing by 6% per month to a maximum of 45% if paid within 180 days following the issue date, after which we have no further rights of prepayment of the convertible note.
We anticipate that we may be required to make additional expenditures related to our remaining ownership interests in our crude oil and natural gas properties. As of April 30, 2015, our cash balance was $7,405, and such cash may not be sufficient to meet our ongoing operations. If we exhaust all our cash, are unable to arrange for new financing, or do not pay our share of potential operating program costs, we may be forced to further reduce our ownership interests in our crude oil and natural gas properties and or forfeit our rights to our acquired interests.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of April 30, 2015.
Going Concern
In its report prepared in connection with our fiscal year 2014 financial statements, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph stating that, because we had an accumulated deficit of $1,583,589, a working capital deficit of $1,417,635 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,373,419 at July 31, 2014, there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. At April 30, 2015, our accumulated deficit was $7,273,092, a working capital deficit of $738,764 and our stockholder’s deficit amounted to $702,894. Our continued existence will depend in large part upon our ability to raise sufficient additional capital, we will need to raise equity or borrow additional capital. If additional financing is not available, we will be compelled to reduce the scope of our business activities further. 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 remaining interests in our crude oil and natural gas properties. These factors among others may indicate that we may be unable to continue in existence. Management believes that they can be successful in obtaining debt and/or equity financing which will enable us to continue in existence and establish itself as a going concern.

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 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
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) as of April 30, 2015 (“Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2014 (the “2014 Annual Report”).
Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in our 2014 Annual Report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2015, report fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in all material respects.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following are some of the important factors that could affect our financial performance or could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in our forward-looking statements. We may encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.
We have an operating deficit and have incurred losses since inception.
To date, our operations have not been profitable and we may never be able to achieve profitability.
There is no assurance that we will be able to close our transaction with TSS.
There is no assurance that we will be able to close the transactions contemplated by the Letter Agreement with TSS, as amended. If we are unable to close the transactions by July 15, 2015, we may incur additional expenses related to the extension of the Letter Agreement or the proposed transactions may be terminated.
If we are able to close our transaction with TSS, there is no assurance that our new business will be successful.
In the event that we are able to close the transactions contemplated by the Letter Agreement with TSS, there is no assurance that we will be successful in the business venture of developing advanced imaging systems and devices for both the medical and security fields.
Our future performance depends upon our ability to obtain capital to find or acquire additional oil and natural gas reserves that are economically recoverable.
Unless we successfully replace the reserves that we produce, our reserves will decline, resulting eventually in a decrease in oil and natural gas production and lower revenues and cash flows from operations. The business of exploring for, developing or acquiring reserves is capital intensive. Our ability to make the necessary capital investment to maintain or expand our oil and natural gas reserves is limited by our relatively small size. Further, we may commence drilling operations on our properties and any other properties that we acquire in an effort to increase production, which would require more capital than we have available from cash flow from operations or our existing debt facilities. In such case, we would be required to seek additional sources of financing or limit our participation in the additional drilling. In addition, our drilling activities are subject to numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil or gas reserves will be encountered.
The successful implementation of our business plan is subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas business, which if not adequately managed could result in additional losses.
Our oil and gas operations will be subject to the economic risks typically associated with exploitation and development activities, including the necessity of making significant expenditures to locate and acquire properties and to drill development wells. In addition, the availability of drilling rigs and the cost and timing of drilling, completing and, if warranted, operating wells is often uncertain. In conducting exploitation and development activities, the presence of unanticipated formation pressure or irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploitation, development and, if warranted, production activities to be unsuccessful. This could result in a total loss of our investment in a particular well. If exploitation and development efforts are unsuccessful in establishing proved reserves and development activities cease, the amounts accumulated as unproved costs will be charged against earnings as impairments.
32
In addition, the availability of a ready market for our oil and gas production depends on a number of factors, including the demand for and supply of oil and gas and the proximity of reserves to pipelines and other facilities. Our ability to market such production depends in substantial part on the availability and capacity of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities, in most cases owned and operated by third parties. A failure to obtain such services on acceptable terms could materially harm our proposed oil and gas business. We may be required to shut in wells for lack of a market or because of inadequacy or unavailability of pipelines or gathering system capacity. If that occurs, we would be unable to realize revenue from those wells until arrangements are made to deliver such production to market.
Our future performance is dependent upon our ability to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas properties, the failure of which could result in under use of capital and losses.
The future performance of our oil and gas business will depend upon an ability to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable. Success will depend upon the ability to acquire working and net revenue interests in properties upon which oil and gas reserves are ultimately discovered in commercial quantities, and the ability to develop prospects that contain proven oil and gas reserves to the point of production. Without successful acquisition, exploitation, and development activities, we will not be able to develop oil and gas reserves or generate revenues. There are no assurances oil and gas reserves will be identified or acquired on acceptable terms, or that oil and gas deposits will be discovered in sufficient quantities to enable us to recover our exploitation and development costs or sustain our business.
The successful acquisition and development of oil and gas properties requires an assessment of recoverable reserves, future oil and gas prices and operating costs, potential environmental and other liabilities, and other factors. Such assessments are necessarily inexact and their accuracy inherently uncertain. In addition, no assurances can be given that our exploitation and development activities will result in the discovery of any reserves. Operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of lack of adequate capital and other factors, such as lack of availability of rigs and other equipment, title problems, weather, compliance with governmental regulations or price controls, mechanical difficulties, or unusual or unexpected formation pressures, and or work interruptions. In addition, the costs of exploitation and development may materially exceed our initial estimates.
The oil and gas exploration and production industry historically is a cyclical industry and market fluctuations in the prices of oil and gas could adversely affect our business.
Prices for oil and gas tend to fluctuate significantly in response to factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:
(a) | weather conditions in the United States and elsewhere; |
(b) | economic conditions, including demand for petroleum-based products, in the United States and elsewhere; |
(c) | actions by OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries; |
(d) | political instability in the Middle East and other major oil and gas producing regions; |
(e) | governmental regulations, both domestic and foreign; |
(f) | domestic and foreign tax policy; |
(g) | the pace adopted by foreign governments for the exploration, development, and production of their national reserves; |
(h) | the price of foreign imports of oil and gas; |
(i) | the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and gas; the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves; |
(j) | the rate of decline of existing and new oil and gas reserves; |
(k) | available pipeline and other oil and gas transportation capacity; |
(l) | the ability of oil and gas companies to raise capital; |
(m) | the overall supply and demand for oil and gas; and |
(n) | the availability of alternate fuel sources. |
Changes in commodity prices may significantly affect our capital resources, liquidity and expected operating results. Price changes will directly affect revenues and can indirectly impact expected production by changing the amount of funds available to reinvest in exploration and development activities. Reductions in oil and gas prices not only reduce revenues and profits, but could also reduce the quantities of reserves that are commercially recoverable. Significant declines in prices could result in non-cash charges to earnings due to impairment. Changes in commodity prices may also significantly affect our ability to estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and divestiture and often cause disruption in the market for oil and gas producing properties, as buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on the value of the properties. Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions and the development and exploitation of projects. Commodity prices are expected to continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.
33
Hedging transactions may limit potential gains on increases to oil and gas prices.
We do not have any hedging positions at this time. If we do enter into hedging transactions, they will likely be for a portion of our expected production for the purpose of reducing the risk of fluctuations in oil and gas prices. Although these hedging transactions would be expected to provide us with some protection in the event of a decrease in oil and gas prices, they would also be expected to limit our potential gains in the event that oil and gas prices increase. If we choose not to engage in hedging arrangements in the future, we may be more adversely affected by changes in oil and natural gas prices than our competitors, who may or may not engage in hedging arrangements.
We may encounter difficulty in obtaining equipment and services.
Higher oil and natural gas prices and increased oil and natural gas drilling activity generally stimulate increased demand and result in increased prices and unavailability for drilling rigs, crews, associated supplies, equipment and services. While we have recently been successful in acquiring or contracting for services, we could experience difficulty obtaining drilling rigs, crews, associated supplies, equipment and services in the future. These shortages could also result in increased costs or delays in timing of anticipated development or cause interests in oil and natural gas leases to lapse. We cannot be certain that we will be able to implement our drilling plans or at costs that will be as estimated or acceptable to us.
Our ability to produce oil and gas from our oil and gas assets may be adversely affected by a number of factors outside of our control.
The business of exploring for and producing oil and gas involves a substantial risk of investment loss. Drilling oil and gas wells involves the risk that the wells may be unproductive or that, although productive, the wells may not produce oil or gas in economic quantities. Other hazards, such as unusual or unexpected geological formation pressures, fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids or other conditions may substantially delay or prevent completion of any well. Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic if excessive water or other deleterious substances are encountered that impair or prevent the production of oil or gas from the well. In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is contaminated with water or other deleterious substances. There can be no assurance that oil and gas will be produced from the properties in which we have interests. In addition, the marketability of oil and gas that may be acquired or discovered may be influenced by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas, gathering systems, pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices, taxes, royalties, land lease tenure, allowable production volumes, and environmental protection regulations.
If we are unable to maintain our working interests in leases, our business will be adversely affected.
Our oil and gas assets are held under oil and gas leases. A failure to meet the specific requirements of each lease may cause that lease to terminate or expire. There are no assurances the obligations required to maintain those leases will be met and that we will be able to meet the rental obligations under federal, state and private oil and gas leases. If we are unable to make rental payments and satisfy any other conditions on a timely basis, we may lose our rights in the properties that we may acquire.
Title deficiencies could render our leases worthless.
The existence of a material title deficiency can render a lease worthless and can result in a large expense to our business. In acquiring oil and gas leases or undivided interests in oil and gas leases we may forgo the expense of retaining lawyers to examine the title to the oil or gas interest to be placed under lease or already placed under lease. Instead, we may rely upon the judgment of oil and gas landmen who perform the field work in examining records in the appropriate governmental office before attempting to place under lease specific oil or gas interest. This is customary practice in the oil and gas industry. As a result, we may be unaware of deficiencies in the marketability of the title to the lease. Such deficiencies could render the lease worthless.
34
If we fail to maintain adequate operating insurance, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
Our oil and gas operations are subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas industry, such as blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, fires, pollution, earthquakes and other environmental risks. These risks could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage, and suspension of operations. We could be liable for environmental damages caused by previous property owners. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Any prospective drilling contractor or operator which we hire will be required to maintain insurance of various types to cover its operations with policy limits and retention liability customary in the industry. We maintain well control, re-drill, environmental cleanup, and liability insurance on all of our field production and future drilling operations. However, the occurrence of a significant adverse event on such prospects that would happen to be not fully covered by insurance could result in the loss of all or part of our investment in a particular prospect which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Complying with environmental and other government regulations could be costly and could negatively impact prospective production.
The oil and gas business is governed by numerous laws and regulations at various levels of government. These laws and regulations govern the operation and maintenance of our facilities, the discharge of materials into the environment and other environmental protection issues. Such laws and regulations may, among other potential consequences, require that we acquire permits before commencing drilling and restrict the substances that can be released into the environment with drilling and production activities. Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injury, clean-up costs and other environmental and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Prior to commencement of drilling operations, we may secure limited insurance coverage for sudden and accidental environmental damages as well as environmental damage that occurs over time. However, we do not believe that insurance coverage for the full potential liability of environmental damages is available at a reasonable cost. Accordingly, we could be liable, or could be required to cease production on properties, if environmental damage occurs.
The costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations could occur, resulting in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive, and we may not have sufficient resources to compete effectively.
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. We will be competing with oil and natural gas companies and other individual producers and operators, many of which have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and other resources than it does, as well as companies in other industries supplying energy, fuel and other needs to consumers. Larger competitors, by reason of their size and relative financial strength, can more easily access capital markets than we can and may enjoy a competitive advantage in the recruitment of qualified personnel. They may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in laws and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we do business and handle longer periods of reduced prices for oil and gas more easily than we can. Competitors may be able to pay more for oil and gas leases and properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of leases and properties than we can. Further, these companies may enjoy technological advantages and may be able to implement new technologies more rapidly than we can. Our ability to acquire oil and gas properties will depend upon its ability to conduct efficient operations, evaluate and select suitable properties, implement advanced technologies and consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.
We have never paid dividends and do not intend to pay any in the foreseeable future, which may delay or prevent recovery of your investment.

The trading price of our common stock may be volatile, with the result that an investor may not be able to sell any shares acquired at a price equal to or greater than the price paid by the investor.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol "HMLA.” Companies quoted on the OTCQB have traditionally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In addition, our stock price may be adversely affected by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. Market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result of this potential price and volume volatility, an investor may have difficulty selling any of our common stock that they acquire that a price equal or greater than the price paid by the investor.
Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be more limited in their ability to sell their stock.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system.
Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules apply to us and to our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them. As long as the trading price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:
1. | contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; |
2. | contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities laws; |
3. | contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; |
4. | contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
5. | defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and |
6. | contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation. |
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.
