NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Note 1.  Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Trailblazer Resources, Inc., formerly Energy Composites Corporation (the “Company”), currently is a holding company with no ongoing business operations, but a public company shell that is seeking a business opportunity.
 
The Company formerly engaged in the manufacture, sale, installation and service of fiberglass tank and piping products through ECC Corrosion, Inc. (“ECC”), a former wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  On September 2, 2011 the Board of Directors of the Company, acting on the recommendation of its disinterested directors, approved the sale of all of the stock of ECC to Jamie and Jennifer Mancl and their affiliated entities who are the majority shareholders of the Company (the “Mancls”) in exchange for substantially all of the Mancls’ shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 12, 2011 (the “ECC Sale”).  On October 21, 2011, the Company completed the ECC Sale.  Accordingly, since the Board of Directors approved the sale of all of the assets and liabilities of ECC prior to September 30, 2011, the results of operations, assets and liabilities of ECC for all periods presented are classified as discontinued operations (see further disclosure in Note 2).

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Trailblazer Resources, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements.
 
All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

 The results of operations and assets and liabilities of ECC for all periods presented are classified as discontinued operations.

There were no new accounting standards issued or effective during the three months ended September 30, 2011 that had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Note 2.  Discontinued Operations

As described in Note 1, on September 2, 2011 the Board of Directors of the Company approved and on October 21, 2011 the Company completed the ECC Sale.  For more specifics on the sale, see further disclosure in Note 11.
 
The Company has presented all results of operations, assets and liabilities of ECC for all periods presented as discontinued operations, and the consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been reclassified to reflect such segregation for all periods presented.  Prior to reclassification, the discontinued operations were reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ECC Corrosion, Inc. and Innovative Composite Solutions, LLC, after elimination of all intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits.

Note 3.  Going Concern Uncertainty
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared as a going concern as of September 30, 2011, notwithstanding that the Company has no continuing operations given ongoing efforts to identify future funding opportunities or acquire another business operation with greater potential for profitability.
 
Note 4.  Prepaid Consulting Expense

On August 24, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 3,375,000 restricted shares of common stock to Diversified Equities Partners, LLC, an entity owned by a minority shareholder of the Company, as a non-refundable retainer for financial advisory consulting services to be rendered through September 30, 2012.  These shares were valued at $4,725,000 using the closing market price of our stock on August 24, 2010 of $1.40 per share and recorded to Additional Paid-In Capital and a debit recorded to Prepaid Consulting Expense.  The expense was being amortized over the 25 month period of the contract.  $1,701,000 was recorded to expense under the contract for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The remaining unamortized balance at September 30, 2011 of  $2,268,000 was written off at that date since it was deemed that there was no future value of this agreement to the holding company shell going forward.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Note 5.  Convertible Notes Payable

In August 2008, the Company began a private placement offering of Units, each Unit consisting of (i) a 3-year, 6% convertible debenture with a conversion price of $2.50 (the “Conversion Price”) per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits and stock dividends) (the “Debentures”), and (ii) a number of warrants equal to the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of the Convertible Debenture (the “Warrants”).  
 
Each Warrant is immediately exercisable into shares of common stock for a term of 3 years at $5.00 per share.  The Warrants also provide anti-dilution protection for the following events: reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale; subdivision, combination or other dividend of the Company’s Common Stock.

The private placement was closed on December 14, 2008.  Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $6,370,000 were sold which included the issuance of 2,548,000 Warrants.  The Debentures are considered to be conventional convertible debt.

The issued Warrants were deemed to have a relative fair market value of $4,068,422 which was recorded as a discount to the face value of the Debentures and as a credit to Additional Paid-In Capital and is being accreted to interest expense over the 3-year term of the debt using the effective interest method.  The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model as a method for determining the estimated fair value of the Warrants.

The proceeds of the Debentures were allocated based on the relative fair value of the Debentures and Warrants as of the commitment date.  The Company then calculated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature embedded in the Debentures and because the amount of the beneficial conversion feature exceeded the fair value allocated to the Debentures, the amount of the beneficial conversion feature to be recorded was limited to the proceeds allocated to the Debentures.  Accordingly, the beneficial conversion feature was calculated to be $2,301,578 and was recorded as an additional discount on the Debentures and a credit to Additional Paid-In Capital of $1,412,578 and a credit of $889,000 to deferred income tax liability.  The Company is accreting the beneficial conversion feature to interest expense over the 3-year term of the debt using the effective interest method.

The following table summarizes the convertible note balance as of September 30, 2011:
 
Balance at January 1, 2008

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
All outstanding convertible debentures at September 30, 2011 totaling $1,025,000 are either currently due or will become due during the fourth quarter of the current year. It is unlikely that the Company will be able to satisfy its obligations to pay outstanding convertible debentures as they mature.  Accordingly, the Company intends to work with debenture holders to convert, extend or otherwise amend the terms and conditions of the outstanding convertible debentures.

The effective annual interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 49%.  The rate is higher than the stated rate of 6% due to the amortization of the discount recorded against the debt for the detachable warrants and beneficial conversion feature.

Note 7. Income Taxes
 
Realization of our net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax temporary differences are contingent upon future taxable earnings.  Our net deferred tax assets have been reduced fully by a valuation allowance, as realization is not considered to be more likely than not based on an assessment of the history of losses and the likelihood of

sufficient future taxable income.  Additionally, with the sale of our ECC subsidiary, a significant portion of our net operating loss carryforwards will be eliminated in this transaction.
 
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2011, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for tax years before 2008.  We are subject to state tax audits until the applicable statutes of limitations expire.
 
We recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.  As of September 30, 2011, there were no such items accrued and we had no unrecognized tax benefits.  We do not expect any material changes in our unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.

Note 8.  Related Party Transactions

On September 2, 2011 the Board of Directors of the Company, acting on the recommendation of its disinterested directors, approved the sale of all of the stock of ECC to Jamie and Jennifer Mancl and their affiliated entities (the “Mancls”) in exchange for substantially all of the Mancls’ shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 12, 2011 (the “ECC Sale”).  On October 21, 2011, the Company completed the ECC Sale.  Upon the closing of the ECC Sale, the 24,039,180 shares surrendered by the Mancls were cancelled and the number of shares of the Company outstanding was reduced to 22,720,228.
 
Immediately prior to the closing of the sale of ECC, Jamie Lee Mancl and Jennifer Lynn Mancl were officers and directors of both the Company and ECC and owned beneficially approximately 52.6% of the outstanding shares of the Company.
 
The Stock Purchase Agreement was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K on August 19, 2011.

Note 9.  Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.  As of the date hereof, in the opinion of management, the resolution of such matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

Note 10.  Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share using two different methods, basic and diluted, and presents per share data for all periods in which statements of operations are presented. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in calculating basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following common stock equivalents have been excluded from the diluted per share calculations since they are anti-dilutive:

(1)  
At September 30, 2011 and 2010, there were outstanding convertible debentures equivalent to 410,000 and 492,000 common shares, respectively. The convertible shares are anti-dilutive for both periods and therefore have been excluded from diluted earnings per share.

(2)  
At September 30, 2011 and 2010, there were outstanding warrants equivalent to 2,311,671 and 2,311,671 common shares, respectively. The warrants are anti-dilutive for both periods and therefore, have been excluded from diluted earnings per share.

(3)  
At September 30, 2011 and 2010, there were outstanding options equivalent to 260,750 and 630,000 common shares, respectively.  The options are anti-dilutive for both periods and therefore, have been excluded from diluted earnings per share.

Note 11. Subsequent Events

On October 21, 2011, the Company completed the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, ECC Corrosion, Inc. to the Mancls (majority shareholders) in exchange for substantially all of the Mancls’ 24,039,180 shares of the registrant’s common stock, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 12, 2011 (the “ECC Sale”).  Upon the closing of the ECC Sale, the shares surrendered by the Mancls were cancelled and the number of shares of the Company outstanding was reduced to 22,720,228.
 
Immediately prior to the closing of the sale of ECC, Jamie Lee Mancl and Jennifer Lynn Mancl were officers and directors of both the Company and ECC and owned beneficially approximately 52.6% of the outstanding shares of the Company.

The Stock Purchase Agreement was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K on August 19, 2011.
 
All of the officers and directors of the Company resigned as of October 21, 2011, with the exception of Samuel W. Fairchild.  The number of directors has been reduced to three and Mr. Fairchild, as the remaining director, has appointed Mark Huelskamp and Michael Murray to fill the two vacancies on the board.  Mr. Fairchild will serve as the Company’s President and Interim Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Murray will serve as the Company’s corporate Secretary.
 
There was no arrangement or understanding between Messrs. Huelskamp and Murray and the Company, pursuant to which they were selected as directors.
 
Effective October 17, 2011, the registrant’s Articles of Incorporation were amended to change the name of the Company to “Trailblazer Resources, Inc.”

Item 2.      Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The discussion contained herein contains “forward-looking statements” that involve risk and uncertainties.  These statements may be identified by the use of terminology such as “believes,” “expects,”  “may,” “should” or “anticipates” or expressing this terminology negatively or similar expressions or by discussions of strategy.  The cautionary statements made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed April 19, 2011, should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Form 10-Q.  Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this report.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes included herein as Item 1.

Accounting Policies and Estimates

The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our financial statements.  Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain.  We also have other policies that we consider key accounting policies, such as those for revenue recognition; however, these policies typically do not require us to make estimates or judgments that are difficult or subjective.

We have identified the accounting policies that we consider critical in Note 1 “Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to our financial statements included in this report.  The accounting policies and estimates described in this report should be read in conjunction with Note 1 “Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies,” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which includes a discussion of the policies identified in this report and other significant accounting policies.

Overview

Trailblazer Resources, Inc., formerly Energy Composites Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, currently has no business operations.

The Company had one operating subsidiary, ECC Corrosion, Inc. (“ECC-C”), which was sold on October 21, 2011.  This was due to the continuing losses that the Company had incurred since the reverse acquisition in October 2008.  Formerly known as Advanced Fiberglass Technologies (“AFT”), ECC-C was incorporated in the state of Wisconsin on January 1, 2005, following nearly ten years operating as M&W Fiberglass, LLC (“M&W”).  Founded in 1995 by Jamie Lee Mancl, M&W was the operating entity that developed and operated AFT’s business.  In January 2005, M&W transferred all operating assets and liabilities into a newly formed S-Corporation: AFT.  M&W, solely owned by Jamie Lee Mancl, retained ownership of AFT’s former manufacturing facility.  In February 2007, M&W sold AFT’s former manufacturing facility to the city of Wisconsin Rapids.  M&W and AFT then purchased and developed our current manufacturing facility by obtaining $4,000,000 of financing in the form of industrial revenue bonds.  On December 31, 2008, we purchased the manufacturing facility from M&W by assuming the industrial revenue bonds, paying M&W $500,000 in cash and delivering a promissory note to M&W for $1,045,328.   On September 1, 2010, AFT changed its name to ECC Corrosion, Inc.

On October 21, 2011, the Company sold all of the stock of ECC-C to Jamie and Jennifer Mancl and their affiliated entities (the “Mancls”) in exchange for substantially all of the Mancls’ shares of the Company’s common stock (the “ECC-C Sale”).  These shares were then cancelled, reducing the number of shares issued and outstanding of the Company to 22,720,228.  In addition, we changed the name of the Company to “Trailblazer Resources, Inc.” effective October 17, 2011.

Results of Operations

We have presented all results of operations, assets and liabilities of ECC-C for all periods presented as discontinued operations, and the consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been reclassified to reflect such segregation for all periods presented.

 
14

 
Selling, general and administrative expenses

We do not generate any revenues, but incur general and administrative expenses related to our status as a publicly-held company, such as legal and accounting fees along with transfer agent fees.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,069,157 and $4,320,714 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to $265,641 and $495,542 for the comparable 2010 periods.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, legal and accounting fees were $269,183 and $292,132, respectively.  Such fees were unusually high for the three-month period due to the ECC-C Sale, as we prepared a proxy statement and held a special stockholders’ meeting to approve the ECC-C Sale.  In comparison, we incurred $27,768 and $138,410 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

In addition, we recorded $2,835,000 and $3,969,000 of consulting expense amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  We issued 3,375,000 restricted shares of common stock to Diversified Equities Partners, LLC, an entity owned by a minority stockholder of the Company, as a non-refundable retainer for financial advisory consulting services to be rendered through September 30, 2012.  These shares were valued at $4,725,000.  The expense was being amortized over the 25-month period of the contract but was written off in its entirety on September 30, 2011 because there will be no further value to the Company as a shell.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, consulting amortization expense was $189,000.

We also incurred ($37,500) and $52,500 for director stock compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.  At September 30, 2011, the total amount accrued was $182,000, of which $150,000 was settled with 100,000 shares of common stock subsequent to September 30, 2011.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred director compensation of $45,000 and $96,875, respectively.

Other income (expense)
 
Other income and expense consists of interest income and interest expense which includes non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs and non-cash amortization of beneficial conversion features and warrant discounts associated with convertible debt.  Total interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $78,070 and $154,382, respectively.  Total interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $313,654 and $511,572, respectively. Interest expense has been decreasing due to the debt conversions that have taken place during this past year.
 
Non-cash amortization of debt discounts for warrants and beneficial conversion feature related to the convertible debt was $61,133 and $131,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Non-cash amortization of debt discounts for warrants and beneficial conversion feature related to the convertible debt was $260,130 and $431,735 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  
 
Income tax benefit

In 2009, the Company established a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets because it was more likely than not, that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Since 2009, the Company has continued to record a full valuation allowance and therefore, there is no tax provision recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Net loss from continuing operations

The Company’s net loss from continuing operations increased to $3,147,227 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $420,023 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, our net loss from continuing operations was $4,634,368 and $1,007,114, respectively. The increase in our net loss for the three and nine month periods were due to the costs of undertaking the ECC-C Sale, and the write-off of the remaining balance of the prepaid consulting contract. 

 
15

 
Discontinued operations

The operations of ECC-C are reflected as discontinued operations.  As described in Note 2 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, ECC-C suffered decreases in revenues for both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 of $742,164 (40% decrease from 2010) and $1,352,891 (29% decrease from 2010), respectively.  ECC-C had decreases in gross profit for the three and nine-month periods in 2011 of $247,643 (64% decrease from 2010) and $656,860 (60% decrease from 2010), respectively.  During the three months ended September 30, 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,031,585, as compared to $1,005,440 in 2010.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,942,258, as compared to $3,173,553 in 2010.  Accordingly, the loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $965,517 and $1,729,601, respectively, as compared to $696,109 and $2,340,849, respectively, for the comparable 2010 periods.

Net loss

The Company’s loss increased to $4,112,744 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $1,116,132 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to the factors described above.  The net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $6,363,969 and $3,347,963, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2011, the corporate shell Company had no cash and a working capital deficiency of $1,415,990.

Operating Cash Flows

Operating activities provided $265,387 in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $127,753 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to the increased non-cash adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash, the most significant of which is amortization of prepaid consulting expense in the amount of $3,969,000. A majority of the cash flow was due from receiving customer advances from one significant customer. 

Investing Cash Flows

Investing activities used $189,265 and $228,418 of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The primary use of cash in investing activities in 2011 was additional manufacturing equipment in our corrosion business offset by proceeds received from the land sale back to the City of Wisconsin Rapids.  The primary use of cash in investing activities in 2010 was the purchase of additional manufacturing equipment supporting plant and field service activities, as well as the purchase of office equipment for added office staff positions.

Financing Cash Flows

Financing activities provided $63,276 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  $877,272 was added in new long-term debt agreements, which were used toward the repayment of $861,019 of short term notes and long-term debt.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, financing activities used $55,748 in cash comprised of $590,823 of cash received from the exercise of stock warrants and $466,430 from the proceeds of stock issuances, offset by net payments on short-term debt and lines of credit totaling $753,512 and net payments on long-term debt of $359,489.

Debenture Financing

From August 2008 to December 2008, we raised $6,370,000 by selling units, each unit consisting of (i) a 3-year, 6% convertible debenture (the “Debentures”) with a conversion price of $2.50 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits and stock dividends), and (ii) a number of warrants equal to the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of the Debenture (the “Warrants”).  The Debentures sold included the issuance
 
 
16

 
 
of 2,548,000 Warrants.  Each Warrant is exercisable into shares of common stock for a term of 3 years at $5.00 per share.  The Warrant also provides anti-dilution protection for the following events: reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale; subdivision, combination or dividend of our common stock.

At September 30, 2011, Debentures totaling $1,025,000 remain outstanding on the shell company's balance sheet and have or will become due during the third and fourth quarters of 2011.  $5,345,000 of Debentures has been converted to common stock as of September 30, 2011.  Many of the remaining Debenture holders have elected to receive interest in the form of stock, lowering our cash outlays for debt service on the Debentures.  Since the Company does not have the capital resources to repay these Debentures currently it will attempt to convert, extend or otherwise renegotiate their terms.

Going Forward

The illiquidity suffered by ECC-C led to its sale to the Mancls in exchange for their shares in the Company.  This allows the Company to potentially acquire another business operation, which hopefully will have a greater potential for profitability.  The Company will still need to convert, extend or otherwise renegotiate the terms of the Debentures described above. The Company is looking to receive limited funds from a shareholder to continue to operate as a public company while the Company looks for a target business. No terms have been formalized with this shareholder at this time.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2011, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3.      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
 
Item 4.      Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Changes in Internal Controls

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Interim Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance the objectives of the control system are met.

As of September 30, 2011, our management, with the participation of our President and Interim Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the President and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Both the Company and ECC-C continued to experience a lack of cash during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and continuing through the sale of ECC-C on October 21, 2011, which prevented us from being able to hire personnel to perform the work necessary to permit a timely filing of this report without an extension of time.  The preparation of this report was further complicated by the disclosures triggered by the sale of ECC-C and presentation of this event as discontinued operations.

Notwithstanding the deficiencies described above, our President and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly,
 
 
17

 
 
in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
