The
condensed consolidated financial statements herein contain the operations of the
above listed subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods as indicated. All
significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the preparation
of these financial statements. On September 21, 2010 the Company’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, MCC Merger, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), formed previous to the merger,
and Maple Carpenter Creek Holdings, Inc. (“The Target Company”) entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the Merger
Agreement, as closed on September 23, 2010, Acquisition Sub merged with and into
the Target Company, with the Target Company remaining as the surviving
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the
“Merger”). Going forward, the Company will be a holding company
parent of the Target Company, and the Company’s business operations following
the Merger will be those of the Target Company.
These
statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the
information contained therein.
The
Company has adopted a fiscal year end of April 30th.
The
Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated
in accordance with ASC 820, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance
sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency
denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of
income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in the Colombian
peso. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered
into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency
fluctuations.
The
comparative financial statements herein include the fiscal year ended April 30,
2010 and the three and six months ended October 31, 2010 and October 31,
2009.

Management
Energy, Inc. & Subsidiaries
Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Organization
Management
Energy, Inc (the Company or “MEI”) was formed in the State of Nevada on May 19,
2005 as Inkie Entertainment Group, Inc., for the purpose of engaging in the
production, distribution and marketing of filmed entertainment products. On
January 15, 2008, the Company changed its name to Quantum Information, Inc. In
January 2009, the Company announced that it would transition out of the filmed
entertainment products business and into the coal business. As part of that
transition, on January 14, 2009, the Company sold all of its assets in exchange
for the surrender to the Company of 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock, and the assumption of all of the Company’s liabilities. The Company also
changed its name to MGMT Energy, Inc. on February 5, 2009 and to Management
Energy, Inc. on May 28, 2009 to better reflect the Company’s business focus. On
September 23, 2010, the Company, through a reverse merger, acquired 100% of the
outstanding shares of Maple Carpenter Creek Holdings, Inc., (“MCCH”) a Delaware
Corporation, organized on October 15, 2009 as a holding Company with an 80%
interest in Maple Carpenter Creek, LLC (“MCC”), which in turn owns a 95%
interest in the subsidiary, Carpenter Creek, LLC (“CC”), and a 98.12% interest
in Armadillo Holdings Group Corp. (“AHGC”), which in turn owns an 80% interest
in Armadillo Mining Corp. (“AMC”). The non-controlling interest of 1.88% in AHGC
was subsequently acquired by MCCH on December 21, 2010 in exchange for 313,339
shares of MEI.
Merger with Maple Carpenter
Creek Holdings, Inc
On
September 21, 2010, Management Energy, Inc. entered into a merger agreement with
Maple Carpenter Creek Holdings, Inc. (“MCCH”) that closed on September 23, 2010.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, MCCH merged with a wholly owned
subsidiary of Management Energy, Inc., MCC Merger, Inc. (“MCCM”), which was
formed just prior to the merger and subsequently dissolved, in exchange for the
issuance of 65,000,000 shares of Management Energy, Inc. common stock to the
owners of MCCH, of which 50,000,000 shares were issued on October 8, 2010 and
15,000,000 shares remain unissued and presented as common stock payable. The
merger resulted in the owners of MCCH gaining control of Management Energy,
Inc. The owners of MCCH also were granted the right to receive an
additional 15,000,000 shares of common stock as contingent consideration to vest
on certain milestones defined in the definitive merger agreement as
follows:
·
|
10,000,000
shares upon the closing of equity or debt financing that generates at
least 2 million in net
proceeds,
|
|
·
|
2,500,000
shares upon the successful generation of $250,000 in revenue from coal
sales in any fiscal quarter,
|
·
|
2,500,000
shares upon the successful closing of additional equity or debt financing
that will generate at least $2,000,000 in net
proceeds.
|
For
financial statement reporting purposes, the merger agreement was treated as a
reverse acquisition with MCCH deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company
deemed the accounting acquiree under the purchase method of accounting in
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-10-40, Business Combinations – Reverse
Acquisitions. The reverse merger is deemed a recapitalization and the
consolidated financial statements reflect the assets and liabilities of MCCH
recognized and measured at their carrying value before the combination and the
assets and liabilities of the Company (the legal acquirer/legal parent) are
measured at fair value. The carrying value of the Company’s net assets
approximates fair value at the date of acquisition. The fair value of
the net assets acquired is ($70,832). The equity structure reflects
the equity structure of the Company, the legal parent, and the equity structure
of MCCH, the accounting acquirer, as restated using the exchange ratios
established in the merger agreement to reflect the numbers of shares of the
legal parent. References to the “Company” in these notes refer to Management
Energy, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, MCCH, as well as the previously
discussed subsidiaries.
MCCH is
engaged in the development of both thermal and metallurgical coal projects in
the U.S. and Colombia. MCCH had the following coal project interests as of the
date of closing of the merger:
|
·
|
Carpenter
Creek, Montana: An 80% interest in the Carpenter Creek coal prospect near
Round Up, Montana. – MCCH controls the surface rights covering a resource
potential of 345 million tons; and the mineral rights for a resource
potential of over 83 million tons of
coal.

prospect and the Mattfield and Janich Ranch prospects, both of which
prospects are adjacent to the Signal Peak Mine, near Roundup, Montana.
MCCH controls the surface rights covering a resource potential of over 43
million tons of coal.
|
|
·
|
Armadillo
Group Holdings Corporation: An 80% ownership of Armadillo Mining Corp.
(“AMC”) in Colombia. As of the date of closing of the merger, AMC had
exclusive options to acquire two metallurgical coal mines in the
Cundinamarca province of Colombia: (i) Caparrapi is a permitted mine with
minimum production and with a resource potential of 11 million metric
tonnes; (ii) Yacopi has resource potential of 40 million metric tonnes. As
of the date of this filing, AMC has terminated the exclusive options for
the Caparrapi and Yacopi mines. AMC, is however, in active negotiations to
acquire an option to purchase a 50% interest in a permitted and operating
mine in Colombia producing metallurgical coal, with a potential resource
of 16 million tons. As of the date of this filing, Armadillo Group
Holdings Corporation has an 86.27% ownership interest in
AMC.

Nature of
Business
Our
current strategy is to pursue both the Carpenter Creek and interests in various
coal exploration projects in the United States and Colombia with development
partners, or in the alternative to sell the projects located in the U.S. We
believe the benefits of selling the U.S. assets include reduced capital
requirements on the Company, and the ability to access industry technical
development experience and marketing expertise. In the event of a sale of the
projects, it will allow the Company to focus more on the potential acquisition
of Colombia metallurgical coal assets that are currently producing.
Exploration Stage
Company
The
Company is currently an exploration stage company. As an exploration stage
enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the exploration
stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception
to the current balance sheet date. The Company has incurred net losses of
$9,734,127 and used net cash in operations of $10,151,054 for the period from
inception (May 23, 2007) through October 31, 2010. An entity remains in the
exploration stage until such time as proven or probable reserves have been
established for its deposits. Upon the location of commercially mineable
reserves, the Company plans to prepare for mineral extraction and enter the
development stage. To date, the exploration stage of the Company’s operations
consists of contracting with geologists who sample and assess the mining
viability of the Company’s claims.
Unaudited Interim Financial
Information
The
accompanying balance sheet as of October 31, 2010, statement of operations for
the three and six months ended October 31, 2010, and 2009, statement of
stockholder’s equity (deficit) and statements of cash flows for the three and
six months ended October 31, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited. These unaudited
interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the
opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited interim financial statements
have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and
include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s
statement of financial position at October 31, 2010, its results of operations
and its cash flows for the six months ended October 31, 2010. The results for
the six months ended October 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2011.
Consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its aforementioned subsidiaries. See Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements (“ASC 810”) below for additional information on
Non-controlling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Use of
estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and
the 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.
Property and
equipment
Equipment
is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount, and is
depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the
related asset as follows:
Furniture
and fixtures
|
5
years
|
Machinery
and equipment
|
5
years
|
Software
and hardware
|
5
years
|
Maintenance
and repairs will be charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and
betterments will be capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition
of equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the
accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in
operations.
The
Company will assess the recoverability of equipment by determining whether the
depreciation and amortization of these assets over their remaining life can be
recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of
equipment impairment, if any, will be measured based on fair value and is
charged to operations in the period in which such impairment is determined by
management.
Fair value of financial
instruments
Under
FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement
reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of
this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable
and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management
to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the
instruments. The Company had no other items that required fair value measurement
on a recurring basis.
Asset retirement
obligations
The
Company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation
in the period in which the asset is acquired and a corresponding increase in the
carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to
its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the
useful life of the related asset. If the liability is settled for an amount
other than the recorded amount, a gain or loss is recognized. No asset
retirement obligation has been recognized as of October 31, 2010.
Advertising and
promotion
All costs
associated with advertising and promoting products are expensed as incurred. No
expenses were incurred for the six months ended October 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Income
taxes
The
Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using
the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the
differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation
allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of
such assets to be more likely than not.

Basic and diluted loss per
share
The basic
net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share
is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive
securities. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an
anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net
loss per common share.
Stock-based
compensation
The
Company adopted FASB guidance on stock based compensation upon inception at
April 23, 2009. Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to
employees, including grants of employee stock options, are to be recognized in
the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no
longer an alternative. For the periods presented, there were no share-based
payments to employees, or otherwise.
Uncertain tax
positions
Effective
upon the Company’s fiscal year ended April 30, 2009, the Company adopted new
standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. These standards
prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition.
Various
taxing authorities periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These
audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including
the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax
jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax
filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records
allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a
particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and
fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing
authorities.
The
assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to
estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing
positions.
Recently issued accounting
pronouncements
In April
2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-18 regarding improving comparability by
eliminating diversity in practice about the treatment of modifications of loans
accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 – Receivable – Loans and Debt
Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“Subtopic 310-30”).
Furthermore, the amendments clarify guidance about maintaining the integrity of
a pool as the unit of accounting for acquired loans with credit
deterioration. Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30
continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions
within Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by
Creditors. The amendments in this Update are effective for
modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30
occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15,
2010. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. Early adoption
is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our
financial statements.
In
February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 regarding subsequent events and
amendments to certain recognition and disclosure requirements. Under this ASU, a
public company that is a SEC filer, as defined, is not required to disclose the
date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This ASU is effective
upon the issuance of this ASU. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material
impact on our financial statements.

In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 regarding fair value measurements
and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value
measurements. This ASU requires additional disclosures regarding
significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements,
including a description of the reasons for the transfers. Further,
this ASU requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value
measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value
measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are
currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, we do not expect the
adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our financial
statements.
In June
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”). The ASC has become the single
source of non-governmental accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial
statements. The Company adopted the ASC as of July 1, 2009. The ASC does not
change GAAP and did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In May
2009, the FASB issued ASC 855-10 entitled “Subsequent Events”. Companies are now
required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been
evaluated by management. This was amended with ASU 2010-09 in February of 2010
to enable companies to not disclose the specific date. Public entities (as
defined) must conduct the evaluation as of the date the financial statements are
issued, and provide disclosure that such date was used for this evaluation. ASC
855-10 provides that financial statements are considered “issued” when they are
widely distributed for general use and reliance in a form and format that
complies with GAAP. ASC 855-10 is effective for interim and annual periods
ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. The adoption of
ASC 855-10 upon inception did not have a significant effect on the Company’s
financial statements as of that date or for the period then ended. In connection
with preparing the accompanying financial statements for the periods ended
October 31, 2010 and 2009, management evaluated subsequent events through the
date that such financial statements were issued.
The
Company applies FASB ASC 810, Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements – and Amendment to ARB No. 51 (“ASC
810”). ASC 810 requires non-controlling interests (previously referred to as
non-controlling interests) to be reported as components of equity and net income
or loss, which changes the accounting for transactions with non-controlling
interest holders. Prior to January 1, 2009 the non-controlling interest had been
reduced to zero, therefore we had no beginning balance of the non-controlling at
May 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our
condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note
2 – Going Concern
Our
financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate
the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of
business. We have incurred continuous losses from operations, have an
accumulated deficit of $9,734,127 and a working capital deficit of $1,827,984 at
October 31, 2010, and have reported negative cash flows from operations since
inception. In addition, we do not currently have the cash resources to meet our
operating commitments for the next twelve months, and we expect to have ongoing
requirements for capital investment to implement our business plan. Finally, our
ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the
problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into
established markets and the competitive environment in which we
operate.
Since
inception, our operations have primarily been funded through private debt and
equity financing, as well as capital contributions by our subsidiaries’
partners, and we expect to continue to seek additional funding through private
or public equity and debt financing.
12
Management
Energy, Inc. & Subsidiaries
Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Our
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate
sufficient cash from operations to meet our cash needs and/or to raise funds to
finance ongoing operations and repay debt. However, there can be no assurance
that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional debt or equity
capital and/or that our cash generated by our operations will be adequate to
meet our needs. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to
continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts
and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.

3 – Related Party Transactions
On July
30, 2008, Maple Resources Corporation (“MRC”), a related party via common
control from the Company’s CEO, Jack Hanks, purchased the Snider Ranch in
Musselshell and Yellowstone Counties, Montana for $1,615,000. Simultaneously,
MCC and MRC executed an option agreement whereby MCC became responsible for all
principal and interest payments on a $1,000,000 bank note payable issued in
MRC’s name in connection with its acquisition of the Snider Ranch and all other
payments made by MRC to acquire the Snider Ranch. MRC has agreed that upon
successful repayment of the note, it will transfer the Snider Ranch title to
MCC. MCC also has issued MRC a $0.08/ton royalty from all future production
generated from the Snider Ranch prospect as consideration for MRC and Jack W.
Hanks, personally, guaranteeing the loan. The expected fair value of
this royalty could not readily be determined, and as such, was not recognized.
The value of the property was periodically measured for impairment and $201,747
of impairment charges were recognized during the year ended, April 30, 2010. On
September 2, 2010, the option to purchase the Snider Ranch was distributed to
the owners of MCC and recorded as a dividend in the amount of $1,413,253. In the
merger with MEI, MCC partners, The Maple Gas Corporation and AAM Investments,
LLC assigned their rights under the option agreement to the Company.
Subsequently, on December 21, 2010, Maple Resources Corporation sold the Snider
Ranch property located in Yellowstone and Musselshell counties, Montana, to
Great Northern Properties Limited Partnership, and the Company’s subsidiary
relinquished its option right to acquire this property. The gross sales price of
the property was $1,500,000, of which MCC’s and therefore the
Company’s portion of the net proceeds was approximately
$113,000.
On August
5, 2008, Maple Resource Company, a mutually owned entity under common management
by the Company’s CEO, Jack Hanks, received a promissory note in the original
principal balance of $1,000,000, a mutually owned company of the CEO, Jack
Hanks, and assigned to Carpenter Creek, LLC, along with the investment in
property, carries a 7% interest rate, matures on August 11, 2013, secured by an
investment in the Snider Ranch property.

On April
13, 2009, the Company entered into a Strategic Consulting Services Agreement
with Charles S. Leykum (the Company’s former Board Advisor). Pursuant to the
Consulting Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Mr. Leykum (or Mr. Leykum’s
designees) an aggregate of 2,010,500 shares of the Company’s common stock as a
payment, in exchange for Charles S. Leykum’s agreement to provide services under
the Consulting Agreement. The Consulting Agreement had a term of 24 months. The
Company recorded the stock payment of $1,467,665 as a prepaid expense on April
13, 2009 which reflected the numbers shares issued multiplied by the closing
trading price on the date of issuance.
Effective
July 10, 2009, John P. Baugues, Jr. resigned from the Board of Directors of the
Company and as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
On July
13, 2009, the Company agreed to the termination of its Strategic Consulting
Services Agreement with Charles S. Leykum. In connection with the termination of
the agreement, Mr. Leykum and certain affiliated entities surrendered 7,010,500
shares of the Company’s common stock for cancellation and the parties agreed to
a mutual release of all claims. The Company treated the termination and
cancellation of shares as a Type 1 subsequent event because the termination
provided information that led management to conclude that the prepaid asset no
longer had future economic value. Accordingly, the termination of the Consulting
Agreement and the related cancellation of shares were recorded as of April 30,
2009.
On July
15, 2009, MCC entered into a loan agreement with an Irrevocable Trust, of which

20% placement fee (or $60,000), was compounded and extended under an amended
agreement carrying a 10% placement fee that is being amortized over the extended
life of the loan. The promissory note matures on July 15, 2011. Accrued interest
(placement fees) of $70,533 and $47,342 was outstanding at October 31, 2010 and
April 30, 3010, respectively.
On July
16, 2009, the Company entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with Lotus

6 – Investment in Property
On July
30, 2008, Maple Resources Corporation (“MRC”), a related party via common
control from the Company’s CEO, Jack Hanks, purchased the Snider Ranch in
Musselshell and Yellowstone Counties, Montana for $1,615,000. Simultaneously,
MCC and MRC executed an option agreement whereby MCC became responsible for all
principal and interest payments on a $1,000,000 bank note payable issued in
MRC’s name in connection with its acquisition of the Snider Ranch and all other
payments made by MRC to acquire the Snider Ranch. MRC has agreed that upon
successful repayment of the note, it will transfer the Snider Ranch title to
MCC. MCC also has issued MRC a $0.08/ton royalty from all future production
generated from the Snider Ranch prospect as consideration for MRC and Jack W.
Hanks, personally, guaranteeing the loan. The expected fair value of
this royalty could not readily be determined, and as such, was not recognized.
The value of the property was periodically measured for impairment and $201,747
of impairment charges were recognized during the year ended, April 30, 2010. On
September 2, 2010, the option to purchase the Snider Ranch was distributed to
the owners of MCC and recorded as a dividend in the amount of $1,413,253. In the
merger with MEI, MCC partners, The Maple Gas Corporation and AAM Investments,
LLC assigned their rights under the option agreement to the Company.
Subsequently, on December 21, 2010, Maple Resources Corporation sold the Snider
Ranch property located in Yellowstone and Musselshell counties, Montana, to
Great Northern Properties Limited Partnership, and the Company’s subsidiary
relinquished its option right to acquire this property. The gross sales price of
the property was $1,500,000, of which MCC’s and therefore the
Company’s portion of the net proceeds was approximately
$113,000.

In
addition, the Company measured the embedded beneficial conversion feature
present in the convertible debts. The intrinsic value of the feature was
calculated on the commitment date using the effective conversion price of the
convertible debt. This intrinsic value is limited to the portion of the proceeds
allocated to the convertible debt. The aforementioned accounting treatment
resulted in no debt discount being recognized.
According
to the terms of the Convertible Promissory Note, the number of shares that would
be received upon conversion was 18,500 shares at October 31, 2010.
As of

11 – Non-controlling Interests
On
October 31, 2010, non-controlling interests held an approximate 17% residual
interest in MCCH through varying interests in MCCH and its subsidiaries, as
acquired through our reverse acquisition merger on September 23, 2010. Pursuant
to that merger between MCC Merger, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Management, Inc., and MCCH, we acquired entities that directly, and indirectly,
held non-controlling interests in both, consolidated Corporations and
Partnerships. MCCH’s interest in its subsidiaries, MCC and AHGC brought
non-controlling interests of 20% in MCC’s subsidiary, CC and 1.88% in AHGC,
respectively. In turn, CC held a 5% non-controlling interest in MCC, and AMC
held an 80% interest in AHGC.

13 – Subsequent Events
The
Company, through its ownership interest in Armadillo Mining Corp, had exclusive
options to acquire the Caparrapi and Yacopi metallurgical coal mines in the
Cundinamarca province of Colombia. Effective November 24, 2010, the Company
elected not to pursue the exercise of these options although it is continuing to
explore other suitable coal properties in Colombia.
The
Company’s subsidiary owned an 80% interest in an option to acquire the Snider
Ranch real estate and coal prospect adjacent to the Signal Peak Mine, near
Roundup, Montana, subject to the outstanding indebtedness for this property. The
option was granted by Maple Resources Corporation. On December 21, 2010, Maple
Resources Corporation sold the Snider Ranch property located in Yellowstone and
Musselshell counties, Montana, to Great Northern Properties Limited Partnership,
and the Company’s subsidiary relinquished its option right to acquire this
property. The gross sales price of the property was $1,500,000, of which the
Company’s portion of the net proceeds was approximately $113,000.
Contemporaneously with this transaction, the Company issued 313,339 shares to
Steve Eppig in exchange for Mr. Eppig’s 1.88% interest in the equity of its
Armadillo Holdings Group Corporation subsidiary. The total fair value
of the common stock was $65,801 based on the closing price of the Company’s
common stock on the date of grant.
In
accordance with ASC 855-10, all subsequent events have been reported through the
filing date.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, “we,” “us”
and “our” refer to Management Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The
following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operation provide information that we believe is relevant to an
assessment and understanding of our financial condition and results of
operations. The following discussion should be read in conjunction
with our financial statements and notes thereto included with this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, and all our other filings, including Current Reports on
Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) through the
date of this report.
Forward
Looking Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes both historical and forward-looking
statements, which include information relating to future events, future
financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and
regulations. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,”
“predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,”
“intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as
statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. Such
statements are intended to operate as “forward-looking statements” of the kind
permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, incorporated
in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”). That legislation protects such predictive
statements by creating a “safe harbor” from liability in the event that a
particular prediction does not turn out as anticipated. Forward-looking
statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results
and will probably not be accurate indications of when such performance or
results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on
information we have when those statements are made or our management’s good
faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ
materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking
statements. You should review carefully the section entitled “Risk
Factors” beginning on page 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion
of certain of the risks that could cause our actual results to differ from those
expressed or suggested by the forward-looking statements.
The
inclusion of the forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a
representation by us, or any other person, that such forward-looking statements
will be achieved. You should be aware that any forward-looking
statement made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or elsewhere, speaks
only as of the date on which we make it. We undertake no duty to update any of
the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. In light of the foregoing, readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
and Outlook
Management
Energy, Inc. has interests in thermal coal projects in Montana, which at October
31, 2010 consisted of the Snider Ranch, Carpenter Creek and
Bridger-Fromberg-Bear Mountain projects. Going forward, we plan to focus the
company efforts in acquiring metallurgical coal assets in the country of
Colombia in Latin America. The Snider Ranch prospect in Montana was sold to
Great Northern Properties Limited Partnership on December 21, 2010. During
October 2010, we reported that the lessor of the Bolzer Property (a portion of
the Bridger Fromberg Bear Mountain project) purported to terminate the Company’s
lease for such property. We are currently considered to be an
exploration stage corporation because we are engaged in the search for coal
deposits and are not engaged in the exploitation of a coal
deposit. We will be in the exploration stage until we discover
commercially viable coal deposits on Carpenter Creek, Bridger-Fromberg-Bear
Mountain or any other property that we acquire, if ever. In an exploration stage
company, management devotes most of its activities to acquiring and exploring
mineral properties.
27
Reserve
Estimates
Carpenter
Creek. The project is in the exploration stage and requires
additional drilling and study to establish reserve estimates. Skelly and Loy,
Inc, an engineering consulting firm, reissued its report entitled “Maple
Carpenter Creek Coal Resource Re-Evaluation and Valuation dated October 1, 2010
(the “Report”). The Report states that total estimated tonnage of the McCleary
and Carpenter Creek seams is approximately 1.1 Billion tons of which over 466
million tons fall into the Demonstrated category. Maple Carpenter Creek, 80%
owned by Management Energy, Inc has control of over 196 Million Demonstrated
tons. The Report stated that based on quality information available, average
washed quality estimates were prepared by Skelly and Loy ford coal in each of
the USGS classifications. For the McCleary seam, the ash has been estimated to
range from 6.19 to 6.36%, sulfur from 0.47 to 0.51% and BTU from 12,485 to
12,535 BTUs per pound (dry basis). On the same basis for the Carpenter Creek
seam, ash is projected from 5.32 to 5.57%, sulfur from 0.56 to 0.58% and BTU’s
from 12,797 to 12,808 per pound (dry basis).
Bridger-Fromberg-Bear
Mountain. The project is still in the exploration stage and requires additional
drilling and study to establish reliable reserve estimates. Based on similar
reserves in proximity and related coal seams, our external consultants have
assumed for business planning purposes a resource size of at least 200 million
tons, a heat rate of more than 11,000 Btu, and less than 1%
sulfur. However, there is no assurance that a commercially viable
coal deposit exists on the project site. Furthermore, there is no
assurance that we will be able to successfully develop the project or identify,
acquire or develop other coal properties that would allow us to profitably
extract and distribute coal and to emerge from the exploration
stage.
Development
Strategy
Our
current strategy is to focus on the acquisition of metallurgical coal assets in
Colombia. We intend to sell our Carpenter Creek project. We believe the
benefits of this strategy include reduced capital requirements on the Company,
and the ability to access industry technical development experience and
marketing expertise.
Merger with Maple Carpenter Creek
Holdings, Inc
On
September 21, 2010, Management Energy, Inc entered into a merger agreement with
Maple Carpenter Creek Holdings, Inc. (“MCCH”). MCCH is engaged in the
development of both thermal and metallurgical coal projects in the U.S. and
Colombia. MCCH had the following coal project interests as of the
date of closing of the merger:
|
·
|
Carpenter
Creek, Montana: An 80% interest in the Carpenter Creek coal prospect near
Round Up, Montana. – MCCH controls the surface rights covering a resource
potential of 345 million tons; and the mineral rights for a resource
potential of over 83 million tons of
coal.
|
|
·
|
Snider
Ranch, Montana: An 80% interest in the Snider Ranch real estate and coal
prospect and the Mattfield and Janich Ranch prospects, both of which
prospects are adjacent to the Signal Peak Mine, near Roundup, Montana.
MCCH controls the surface rights covering a resource potential of over 43
million tons of coal. This property was subsequently sold in
December 2010.
|
|
·
|
Armadillo
Group Holdings Corporation: An 80% ownership of Armadillo Mining Corp.
(“AMC”) in Colombia. As of the date of closing of the merger, AMC had
exclusive options to acquire two metallurgical coal mines in the
Cundinamarca province of Colombia: (i) Caparrapi is a permitted mine with
minimum production and with a resource potential of 11 million metric
tonnes; (ii) Yacopi has resource potential of 40 million metric tonnes. As
of the date of this filing, AMC has terminated the exclusive options for
the Caparrapi and Yacopi mines. During November 2010, AMC decided not to
further pursue these projects. AMC, is however, in active negotiations to
acquire an option to purchase a 50% interest in a permitted and operating
mine in Colombia producing metallurgical coal, with a potential resource
of 16 million tons. As of the date of this filing, Armadillo Group
Holdings Corporation has an 86.27% ownership interest in
AMC.
|
28
Under the
terms of the merger agreement, MCCH merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of
Management Energy, Inc. in exchange for the issuance of 65,000,000 shares of
Management Energy, Inc common stock to the owners of MCCH, of which 50,000,000
shares were issued on October 8, 2010 and 15,000,000 shares remain unissued and
presented as common stock payable. The owners of MCCH also were
granted the right to receive an additional 15,000,000 shares of common stock as
contingent consideration to vest on certain milestones defined in the definitive
merger agreement.
As we
continue to expand our business and implement our business strategy, our current
monthly cash flow requirements will exceed our near term cash flow from
operations. Our available cash resources and anticipated cash flow from
operations are insufficient to satisfy our anticipated costs associated with new
project development. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate
sufficient cash from operations in future periods to satisfy our capital
requirements. Therefore, we will have to continue to rely on external financing
activities, including the sale of our equity securities, to satisfy our capital
requirements for the foreseeable future. Due, in part, to our lack of historical
earnings, our prior success in attracting additional funding has been limited to
transactions in which our equity is used as currency. In light of the
availability of this type of financing, and the lack of alternative proposals,
our board of directors has determined that the continued use of our equity for
these purposes may be necessary if we are to sustain operations. Equity
financings of the type we have been required to pursue are dilutive to our
stockholders and may adversely impact the market price for our shares. However,
we have no commitments for borrowings or additional sales of equity, the precise
terms upon which we may be able to attract additional funding is not known at
this time, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in
consummating any such future financing transactions on terms satisfactory to us,
or at all.
Critical
Accounting Estimates and Assumptions:
Our
financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles used in the United
States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and assumptions
are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We
believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates is critical to
an understanding of our financials.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Issuance of Shares for
Non-Cash Consideration
The
Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and/or
services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of
the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably
determinable.
The
Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and
vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of the
standards issued by the FASB. The measurement date for the fair value
of the equity instruments issued is determined as the earlier of (i) the date at
which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or
(ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is
complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants,
the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the
consulting agreement.
Stock-Based
Compensation
In
December of 2004, the FASB issued a standard which applies to transactions in
which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and also
applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are based
on the fair value of those equity instruments. For any unvested
portion of previously issued and outstanding awards, compensation expense is
required to be recorded based on the previously disclosed methodology and
amounts. Prior periods presented are not required to be
restated. The Company adopted this standard upon inception on May 23,
2007 and applied the standard using the modified prospective
method. The Company has not issued any stock options; however, there
were warrants to purchase 8,000,000 common shares outstanding as of October 31,
2010.
29
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In May
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, "Subsequent Events," which is included
in ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. ASC Topic 855 established principles
and requirements for evaluating and reporting subsequent events and
distinguishes which subsequent events should be recognized in the financial
statements versus which subsequent events should be disclosed in the financial
statements. ASC Topic 855 also requires disclosure of the date through which
subsequent events are evaluated by management. ASC Topic 855 was effective for
interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and applies prospectively.
Because ASC Topic 855 impacts the disclosure requirements, and not the
accounting treatment for subsequent events, the adoption of ASC Topic 855 did
not impact the Company's results of operations or financial
condition.
Effective
July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification ("ASC") 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—Overall
("ASC 105-10"). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (the "Codification") as the source of authoritative accounting
principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in
the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules
and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws
are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All
guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The
Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.
All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the
Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the
form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force
Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs"). The
FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve
only to update the Codification, provide background information about the
guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the
Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout these consolidated
financials have been updated for the Codification.
In August
2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value,
which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure liabilities
at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU clarifies that the quoted price for an
identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not
available, an entity may use the quoted price of an identical liability when
traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities
traded as assets, or another valuation technique (such as the market or income
approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair value of a liability is not
adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its
transfer and indicates circumstances in which quoted prices for an identical
liability or quoted price for an identical liability traded as an asset may be
considered level 1 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective
October 1, 2009. The adoption of this ASU did not impact the Company's
results of operations or financial condition.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue
Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, which provides
amendments to the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable
arrangements. As a result of these amendments, multiple-deliverable revenue
arrangements will be separated in more circumstances than under existing
U.S. GAAP. The ASU does this by establishing a selling price hierarchy for
determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each
deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available,
third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or
estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor
third-party evidence is available. A vendor will be required to determine its
best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to
determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. This ASU also
eliminates the residual method of allocation and will require that arrangement
consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all
deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any
discount in the overall arrangement proportionally to each deliverable based on
its relative selling price. Expanded disclosures of qualitative and quantitative
information regarding application of the multiple-deliverable revenue
arrangement guidance are also required under the ASU. The ASU does not apply to
arrangements for which industry specific allocation and measurement guidance
exists, such as long-term construction contracts and software transactions. ASU
No. 2009-13 is effective beginning January 1, 2011. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its results of operations
and financial condition.
30
The
Company applies FASB ASC 810, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements – and Amendment to ARB No. 51 (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 requires
non-controlling interests (previously referred to as non-controlling interests)
to be reported as components of equity and net income or loss, which changes the
accounting for transactions with non-controlling interest holders. Prior to
January 1, 2009 the non-controlling interest had been reduced to zero, therefore
we had no beginning balance of the non-controlling at May 1, 2009. The adoption
of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated
financial statements.

Revenues:
We are
currently in the exploration stage and have not yet begun to generate
revenues.
Exploration
and development:
Exploration
and development costs were $196,680 for the three months ended October 31, 2010
compared to $77,503 for the three months ended October 31, 2009, an increase of
$119,177 or 154%. The increase was primarily due to additional surface leases
that we entered into in our subsidiary, Carpenter Creek, LLC, along with
increased exploration and development activities in Latin America, specifically
within Colombia through our subsidiary, Armadillo Mining
Corporation.
31
General
and administrative:
General
and administrative expenses were $305,953 for the three months ended October 31,
2010 compared to $51,644 for the three months ended October 31, 2009, an
increase of $254,309 or approximately 492%. The increase was primarily due
to increased travel expenses to Colombia during the six months ended
October 31, 2010 that were not incurred in the comparable period in 2009,
as we developed our business there and initiated our coal projects, in addition
to due diligence payments to acquire rights in Colombia mines that were not
incurred in prior periods.
Payroll
and taxes:
Payroll
and taxes expense was $175,699 for the three months ended October 31, 2010
compared to $14,732 for the three months ended October 31, 2009, an increase of
$160,967 or 1,093%. The increase was primarily due to increased salaries to our
COO for services performed at Maple Carpenter Creek which were incurred on a
part time basis in the comparative period ending, October 31, 2009 as his time
commitments increased to focus on our coal projects.
Professional
fees:
Professional
fees expense was $428,471 and $205,317 for the three months ended October 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase was due primarily to legal services as
we developed the reverse acquisition merger agreement between ourselves and MCCH
on September 21, 2010, in addition to the legal services incurred with the
formation of new subsidiaries during the three months ended, October 31,
2010 that were not incurred in the 2009 comparative period.
Depreciation
and amortization:
Depreciation
and amortization expense was $1,793 the three months ended October 31, 2010
compared to $1,249 for the three months ended October 31, 2009. The increase was
due to additional depreciation on a new server, computers and software
purchased in 2010 that wasn’t depreciated in the comparable three months ending,
October 31, 2010.
Net
operating loss:
Net
operating loss for the three months ended October 31, 2010 was $1,108,596 or
($0.02) per share compared to a net operating loss of $350,445 for the three
months ended October 31, 2009, or ($0.00) per share, an increase of $758,151 or
216%. Net operating loss increased primarily as a result of our increased
operating expenses as we expanded our operations to Latin America during the
three months ended October 31, 2010. We were not operating in Latin America
during the comparable period in 2009.
Other
income (expense):
Other
expenses consisted of interest expense, which was $36,563 and $23,278 for the
three months ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase of
$13,285, or 57%, was due to additional interest expense incurred from new loans
in entered into subsequent to October 31, 2009 for additional working capital
that generated higher interest costs in the three months ended October 31, 2010
than in the comparable three month period in 2009.
Non-controlling
interests in loss of consolidated subsidiaries:
Non-controlling
interests in loss of consolidated subsidiaries represented approximately
$254,908 and $133,103 of the total losses for the three months ended October 31,
2010 and 2009, respectively. Our non-controlling interest in our losses
increased by $121,805, or 92%, while our overall net loss before income taxes
and non-controlling interest increased by $771,436, or 206%, as a result of our
majority interests acquiring a larger stake in the subsidiaries than existed
during the three months ended October 31, 2009.
Net
loss:
The net
loss for the three months ended October 31, 2010 was $890,251 compared to a net
loss of $240,620 for the three months ended October 31, 2009, an increased net
loss of $649,631 or 270%. Net loss increased primarily as a result of our
increased operating expenses as we expanded our operations to Latin America
during the three months ended October 31, 2010. We were not operating in Latin
America during the comparable period in 2009.

Revenues:
We are
currently in the exploration stage and have not yet begun to generate
revenues.
Exploration
and development:
Exploration
and development costs were $253,736 for the six months ended October 31, 2010
compared to $270,210 for the six months ended October 31, 2009, a decrease of
$16,474 or 6%. The increase was primarily due to increased mapping services, and
additional surface leases that we entered into in our subsidiary, Carpenter
Creek, LLC, along with increased exploration and development activities in Latin
America, specifically within Colombia through our subsidiary, Armadillo Mining
Corporation.
General
and administrative:
General
and administrative expenses were $462,890 for the six months ended October 31,
2010 compared to $69,988 for the six months ended October 31, 2009, an increase
of $392,992 or approximately 562%. This increase is mainly due to increased
travel expenses incurred to visit coal mine prospects in Colombia and incurred
due diligence costs to secure rights to Colombia mines as we developed our newly
formed Latin American business during the six months ended October 31, 2010 that
were not incurred in the comparable period in 2009.
Payroll
and taxes:
Payroll
and taxes expense was $337,795 for the six months ended October 31, 2010
compared to $68,393 for the six months ended October 31, 2009, an increase of
$269,402 or 394%. Salaries for our COO were previously incurred by Maple
Carpenter Creek on a part time basis during the six months ending October 31,
2009, but were increased to full time in 2010 as more of his expertise over
our new coal projects was needed than in the comparative six month period in
2009.
33
Professional
fees:
Professional
fees expense was $600,757 for the six months ended October 31, 2010 compared to
$400,780 for the six months ended October 31, 2009, an increase of $199,977, or
50%. The increase was due primarily to legal services as we developed the
reverse acquisition merger agreement between ourselves and MCCH on September 21,
2010, in addition to the legal services incurred with the formation of new
subsidiaries during the three months ended, October 31, 2010 that were not
incurred in the 2009 comparative period.
Depreciation
and amortization:
Depreciation
and amortization expense was $3,587 the six months ended October 31, 2010
compared to $2,499 for the six months ended October 31, 2009. The increase was
due to additional depreciation on a new server, computers and software
purchased in 2010 that wasn’t depreciated in the comparable six months ending,
October 31, 2010.
Net
operating loss:
Net
operating loss for the six months ended October 31, 2010 was $1,658,855 or
($0.06) per share compared to a net operating loss of $811,870 for the six
months ended October 31, 2009, or ($0.00) per share, an increase of $846,985 or
104%. Net operating loss increased primarily as a result of our increased
operating expenses as we expanded our operations to Latin America during the six
months ended October 31, 2010. We were not operating in Latin America
during the comparable period in 2009.
Other
income (expense):
Other
expenses consisted of interest expense, which was $72,903 and $47,490 for the
three months ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase of
$25,413, or 54%, was due to additional interest expense incurred from new
loans in entered into subsequent to October 31, 2009 for additional working
capital that generated higher interest costs in the six months ended October 31,
2010 than in the comparable three month period in 2009.
Non-controlling
interests in loss of consolidated subsidiaries:
Non-controlling
interests in the losses of our consolidated subsidiaries represented
approximately $267,888 and $205,540 of the total losses for the six months ended
October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our non-controlling interest increased
by $62,348, or 30%, while our overall net loss before income taxes and
non-controlling interest increased by $872,398, or 102%, as a result of our
majority interests acquiring a larger stake in some of our subsidiaries during
the six months ended October 31, 2010 than held during the comparable period in
2009.
Net
loss:
The net
loss for the six months ended October 31, 2010 was $1,463,870 compared to a net
loss of $653,820 for the six months ended October 31, 2009, an increased net
loss of $810,050 or 124%. Net loss increased primarily as a result of our
increased operating expenses as we expanded our operations to Latin America
during the six months ended October 31, 2010. We were not operating in Latin
America during the comparable period in 2009.

Our
principal source of operating capital has been provided from private sales of
our common stock, partnership capital contributions, and debt financing. At
October 31, 2010, we had a negative working capital position of $(1,827,984). As
we attempt to expand exploration activities and develop our international
operations, we expect to continue to experience net negative cash flows from
operations in amounts not now determinable, and will be required to obtain
additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings and debt
borrowings to the extent necessary to provide working capital. We have and
expect to continue to have substantial capital expenditure and working capital
needs. We do not now have funds sufficient to fund our operations at their
current level for the next twelve months. We need to raise additional cash to
fund our operations and implement our business plan. We expect that the
additional financing will (if available) take the form of a private placement of
equity, although we may be constrained to obtain additional debt financing in
lieu thereof. We are maintaining an on-going effort to locate sources of
additional funding, without which we will not be able to remain a viable entity.
No financing arrangements are currently under contract, and there are no
assurances that we will be able to obtain adequate financing. If we are able to
obtain the financing required to remain in business, eventually achieving
operating profits will require commencement of operations to generate revenues
or drastically reducing expenses from their current levels or both. If we are
able to obtain the required financing to remain in business, future operating
results depend upon a number of factors that are outside of our
control.
To
conserve on the Company's capital requirements, the Company has issued shares in
lieu of cash payments to employees and outside consultants, and the Company
expects to continue this practice. In the six months ending October 31, 2010,
the Company issued 4,019,269 shares of common stock valued at $899,551 in lieu
of cash payments to employees and outside consultants. No shares of common stock
were issued as compensation for services in the six months ending October 31,
2009. The Company is not now in a position to determine an approximate number of
shares that the Company may issue for the preceding purpose in the remainder of
2010.

Item
4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Jack W. Hanks, has evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end
of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation, Mr.
Hanks concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in
timely alerting them to material information relating to us that is required to
be included in our periodic SEC filings and ensuring that information required
to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Act is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief financial
officer, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure, for the following reasons:
|
·
|
The
Company does not have an independent board of directors or audit committee
or adequate segregation of
duties;
|
35
|
·
|
All
of our financial reporting is carried out by our financial
consultant;
|
|
·
|
We
do not have an independent body to oversee our internal controls over
financial reporting and lack segregation of duties due to the limited
nature and resources of the
Company.
|
We plan
to rectify these weaknesses by implementing an independent board of directors
and hiring additional accounting personnel once we have additional resources to
do so.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
PART II –
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
In
addition to the other risk factors set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in
evaluating the Company and its business.
The current global economic crisis
could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial results and have a
material adverse affect on our liquidity and capital
resources
As the
current global financial crisis has broadened and intensified, other sectors of
the economy have been adversely impacted. Many of the effects and consequences
of the global financial crisis and a broader global economic downturn are
currently unknown; any one or all of them could potentially have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources, including our
ability to raise additional capital if needed or otherwise negatively impact the
Company’s business and financial results.
Factors Beyond Our Control May
Affect the Volatility of Our Stock Price
Prices
for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced
by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for our common
stock, investor perception of us and general economic and market conditions.
Variations in our operating results, general trends in the industry and other
factors could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate
significantly. In addition, general trends and developments in the industry,
government regulation and other factors could have a significant impact on the
price of our common stock. The stock market has, on occasion, experienced
extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often particularly affected
market prices for smaller companies and that often have been unrelated or
disproportionate to the operating performance of the affected companies, and the
price of our common stock could be affected by such fluctuations.
Compliance
with, or breach of, environmental laws can be costly and could limit our
operations.
Our
operations are subject to numerous and frequently changing laws and regulations
governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating
to environmental protection. Laws and regulations protecting the
environment have generally become more stringent and may, in some cases, impose
“strict liability” for environmental damage. Strict liability means
that we may be held liable for damage without regard to whether we were
negligent or otherwise at fault. Environmental laws and regulations
may expose us to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others or
for acts that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time they were
performed. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may
result in the imposition of administrative, civil and criminal
penalties.
36
Our
potential operations in Colombia will be subject to political, economic and
other uncertainties.
We intend to focus our operations on
our coal prospects in Colombia. Operations in foreign countries are
subject to political, economic and other uncertainties, including:
•
|
the risk of war, revolution,
border disputes, expropriation, renegotiation or modification of existing
contracts, import, export and transportation regulations and tariffs
resulting in loss of revenue, property and
equipment,
|
•
|
taxation policies, including
royalty and tax increases and retroactive tax
claims,
|
•
|
exchange controls, currency
fluctuations and other uncertainties arising out of foreign government
sovereignty over international
operations,
|
•
|
laws and policies of the United
States affecting foreign trade, taxation and investment,
and
|
•
|
the possibility of being
subjected to the jurisdiction of foreign courts in connection with legal
disputes and the possible inability to subject foreign persons to the
jurisdiction of courts in the United
States.
|
Central
and South America have a history of political and economic instability. This
instability could result in new governments or the adoption of new policies,
laws or regulations that might assume a substantially more hostile attitude
toward foreign investment. In an extreme case, such a change could result in
termination of contract rights and expropriation of foreign-owned assets. Any
such activity could result in a significant loss.
