NOTE 1 – BACKGROUND, ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
MMEX Resources Corporation (the “Company” or “MMEX”) was formed in the State of Nevada on May 19, 2005 as Inkie Entertainment Group, Inc. Subsequently, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to MMEX Resources Corporation and to authorize the Company to issue up to 3,000,000,000 common shares and 10,000,000 preferred shares. The changes in the number of authorized shares of the Company have been given retroactive effect in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Board of Directors of the Company has decided to focus efforts on the oil, gas, refining and electric power business in the United States and Latin America.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following entities, all of which the Company maintains control through a majority ownership:

As of April 13, 2016, the Company assigned AMC to an irrevocable trust (the “Trust”), whose beneficiaries are the existing shareholders of MMEX. The accounts of AMC are included in the consolidated financial statements due to the common ownership. AMC through the Trust controls the Hunza coal interest previously owned by the Company.
On September 1, 2016, the Company entered into a stock assignment agreement with LatAm Services, LLC (“LatAm”) pursuant to which it assigned MCCH to LatAm. With the assignment of MCCH to LatAm, the Company has exited the Hunza coal project to focus on energy related projects under its new business plan.
All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
These financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of the information contained therein.
The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of April 30.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2016 filed with the SEC on January 13, 2017.
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.
Derivative liabilities
In a series of subscription agreements, we have issued warrants that contain certain anti-dilution provisions that we have identified as derivatives. We have also identified the conversion feature of one of our convertible notes payable as a derivative. We estimate the fair value of the derivatives using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and multinomial lattice models that value the warrants based on a probability weighted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility and management’s estimates of various potential equity financing transactions. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management's judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.
Fair value of financial instruments
Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the FASB 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, accrued expenses and notes reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value using a hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy prioritized the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Table of Contents |
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our derivative liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and estimated as follows:

Basic and diluted loss per share
Basic net income or loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss (available to common stockholders) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income or loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options, warrants, convertible debt and convertible preferred stock, were exercised or converted into common stock. For the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016 and the nine months ended January 31, 2017, potential dilutive securities included 57,364,000, 20,147 and 7,170,500 shares issuable for in-the-money warrants and shares issuable for convertible debt, respectively, using the treasury stock method. For the nine months ended January 31, and 2016, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share; therefore, basic net loss per share is the same as diluted net loss per share.
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.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior year periods have been reclassified to conform with the current year periods presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-4, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” This update simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Instead, under the amendments in this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. An entity should apply the amendments in this update on a prospective basis. An entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. That disclosure should be provided in the first annual period and in the interim period within the first annual period when the entity initially adopts the amendments in this update. A public business entity that is an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently unable to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-1, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” The amendments in this update clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The amendments of this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. The Company is currently unable to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.
In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-17, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held Through Related Parties That are Under Common Control.” This update amends the consolidation guidance on how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the reporting entity that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE and, therefore, consolidates the VIE. A reporting entity has an indirect interest in a VIE if it has a direct interest in a related party that, in turn, has a direct interest in the VIE. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently unable to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” This ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently unable to determine the impact on its consolidated financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – 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 $30,053,527 and a total stockholders’ deficit of $2,397,128 at January 31, 2017, 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.
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.
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the past few years, Tydus Richards, the former Chairman of our board of directors and shareholder, made certain payments on behalf of the Company. The Company has partially reimbursed Mr. Richards for these advances. As of January 31, 2017 and April 30, 2016, a remaining balance payable of $31,633 is included in accrued expenses – related party.
On October 9, 2014, convertible notes payable in default to an accredited investor of $1,650,000, $120,000 and $180,000 were assigned to The Maple Gas Corporation, a related party owned by Mr. Jack W. Hanks, a director and officer of the Company. On May 8, 2015, The Maple Gas Corporation converted the notes into 194,999,999 common shares of the Company at $0.01 per share, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $975,000. The issuance of the common shares to Maple Structure Holdings was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors Resolution dated May 18, 2015, and the shares were issued on May 2, 2016. At April 30, 2016, common stock payable included an obligation of $2,925,000 for the issuance of the shares.

Accrued interest payable on convertible notes payable, currently in default, totaled $137,879 and $112,058 at January 31, 2017 and April 30, 2016, respectively.
On January 2, 2013, the Company closed a note purchase agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which the Company sold a $120,000 note in a private placement transaction. The note was due and payable on March 1, 2013, is currently in default and carries a monthly interest rate of 1.87%. The note purchase agreement included the issuance of 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The note is secured with 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by Jack W. Hanks, the Company’s President and CEO. The 300,000 shares were valued at $0.10 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on January 2, 2013, and recorded as a $30,000 increase to debt discount and an increase to common stock payable.
The Company allocated the proceeds from the issuance of the notes to the warrants when applicable and to the notes based on their estimated fair market values at the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The debt discount resulting from interest and the value of warrants computed at the inception of the notes payable was amortized as additional interest expense over the term of the notes.

On October 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Stipulation (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Rockwell Capital Partners, Inc. (“RCP”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, as amended, RCP has purchased certain outstanding payables between the Company and designated vendors totaling $84,782 (the “Payables” or “Claims”) and will exchange the portion of such Payables assigned for a Settlement Amount payable in common shares of the Company.
In settlement of the Claims, the Company shall issue and deliver to RCP, in one or more tranches as necessary, shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”), subject to adjustment and ownership limitations as set forth in the Settlement Agreement, sufficient to satisfy the Claims amount at a 50% discount to market based on the market price during the valuation period as defined in the Settlement Agreement. We identified this conversion feature as a derivative and have estimated the fair value of the derivative using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company also issued 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock as a settlement fee on October 31, 2016.
On October 28, 2016, a circuit court in Florida issued an order confirming the fairness of the terms of the Settlement Agreement within the meaning of exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a) (10) of the Securities Act of 1933.
The Company’s creditors received a total of $84,782 pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, and through January 31, 2017, the Company issued to RCP a total of 452,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in conversion of $56,100 note principal.
Subsequent to January 31, 2017, the Settlement Agreement was terminated (see Note 13).
NOTE 8 – CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Convertible Preferred Stock, Currently in Default
On June 30, 2011, the Company issued 360,000 shares of Armadillo Mining Corporation Preferred Stock to five unrelated parties in exchange for an investment of $360,000. The Preferred Stock carry a 25% cumulative dividend and have a mandatory redemption feature on December 31, 2011 at a price of $1.25 per share. In addition, the Company issued 360,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share on or before three years from the repayment or conversion date.
On January 6, 2012, three unrelated parties converted their Preferred Stock and accrued dividends of $312,500 into 2,983,293 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $.10475 per share. As the conversion took place at below the market price and not within the terms of the agreement on the date of conversion, a loss of $75,328 was recorded. As of January 31, 2017 and April 30, 2016, the remaining face value of the Preferred Stock was $137,500. Accrued dividends on the Preferred Stock totaled $333,351 and $281,789 as of January 31, 2017 and April 30, 2016, respectively.
The Company recorded interest expense, which included amortization of debt discount on certain debt in prior years, totaling $36,118 and $36,169 for the three months ended January 31, 2017, respectively, and $153,055 and $493,166 for the nine months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
In a series of subscription agreements, we have issued warrants that contain certain anti-dilution provisions that we have identified as derivatives. We have also identified the variable conversion price feature of our convertible note payable issued in the Settlement Agreement as a derivative.
During the nine months ended January 31, 2017, we had the following activity in our derivative liabilities:

The Company calculated the fair value of the derivatives associated with warrants using a multinomial lattice model simulation. The model is based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes.
Key inputs and assumptions used in valuing the Company’s derivative liabilities are as follows for issuances of warrants:
|
· | Stock prices on all measurement dates were based on the fair market value |
|
|
|
|
· | Risk-free interest rates ranging from 1.49% – 1.54% |
|
|
|
|
· | The probability of future financing was estimated at 100% |
|
|
|
|
· | Computed volatility ranging from 104% to 109% |
We calculated the fair value of the derivatives associated with the Settlement Agreement using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Key inputs and assumptions in valuing the Company’s derivative liabilities are as follows for convertible note payable:
|
· | Stock prices on all measurement dates were based on the fair market value |
|
|
|
|
· | Risk-free interest rates ranging from 0.35% – 0.53% |
|
|
|
|
· | Computed volatility ranging from 172% – 396% |
|
|
|
|
· | Dividend yield was assumed at 0% |
|
|
|
|
· | Years to maturity ranging from .10 – .35 years |
|
|
|
|
· | Conversion price of debt ranging from $0.00005 – $0.00245 per share |
These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management's judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of its stock options, which value is amortized to stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period of the options. No stock-based compensation expense was recorded during the three months and nine months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016 related to stock option grants. There was no unrecognized stock option expense at January 31, 2017.
Warrants
The Company has issued warrants to qualified investors in a private placement, for debt discounts or other stock-based compensation. These warrants generally vest upon grant and are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or multinomial lattice models that value the warrants based on a probability weighted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes.
A summary of warrant activity during the nine months ended January 31, 2017 is presented below:

Refinery Transaction
On March 4, 2017, MMEX Resources Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Maple Resources Corporation (“Maple”), a related party, to acquire all of Maple’s right, title and interest (the “Rights”) in plans to build a $450 million, 50,000 barrels per day capacity crude oil refinery in Pecos County, Texas (the “Refinery Transaction” or the “Project”). Pursuant to the Refinery Transaction, the Company agreed to acquire the Rights in exchange for the issuance of 7,000,000,000 new common shares (the “Purchased Shares”).
The Refinery Transaction provides for the Company to issue the Purchased Shares in two tranches, of which the First Tranche of 1,500,000,000 shares was issued on March 4, 2017. The Second Tranche of 5,500,000,000 shares is to be issued once the Company’s Articles of Incorporation are amended to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, as more particularly described below. In addition, the Second Tranche amount of shares will be adjusted (up or down) subject to valuation of the Refinery Transaction by a third party outside consultant.
Completion of the Project is subject to the receipt of required governmental permits and completion of required debt and equity financing.
Amendment of Articles of Incorporation
On March 7, 2017, the holders of more than 50.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company executed their written consent in lieu of special meeting approving an amendment and restatement of the articles of incorporation to provide for an increase in the authorized shares of common stock from 3,000,000,000 to 10,000,000,000 shares. In addition, the articles of incorporation will be amended to provide for two classes of common shares: (i) Class A Shares, having one vote per share, and (ii) Class B Shares, with 10 votes per share. All of the currently outstanding shares of common stock will be reclassified as Class A Shares, except that all of the Purchased Shares issued or to be issued in the Refinery transaction will be Class B Shares. Other than the provisions of the voting rights, the two classes of shares of common stock will have equal terms and conditions. As of the date of filing of this report, these amendments to the articles of incorporation have not been filed.
Settlement Agreement
As discussed in Note 7, on October 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with RCP. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, as amended, RCP purchased a total of $84,782 outstanding payables from the Company for shares of common stock of the Company. During November 2016 through January 2017, we have issued a cumulative total of 452,000,000 common shares pursuant to the Settlement Agreement and, as of March 9, 2017, we issued an additional 37,000,000 common shares and have terminated any further obligation to issue shares. Our creditors will not receive further funding from the Settlement Agreement.
Other Common Shares Issued
Subsequent to January 31, 2017, the Company issued a total of 27,727,733 shares of its common stock to investors for cash of $15,500 and 2,631,579 shares of its common stock to a consultant for services valued at $9,737.

Overview
New Business Plan
The MMEX Board of Directors has made the decision to focus the Company efforts into the oil, gas, refining and electric power business in the U.S. and in Latin America. The principal reasons are the following:
· |
MMEX principal shareholders and directors are also principals in a privately held U.S. oil and gas company, Maple Resources Corporation ('Maple") based in Austin, Texas. | |
|
|
|
· |
The MMEX management team has over 30 years of experience in natural resource project development and project financing in North and South America and the U.K. | |
|
|
|
· |
MMEX directors and principal shareholders with oil, gas, refining and electric power experience will bring this expertise into the Company. |

Management Expertise in Oil, Gas, Refining and Electric Power Project Development and Project Finance Development
MMEX principals formed Maple Resources Corporation ("Maple Resources") in 1986. Maple Resources is a privately held corporation, registered in Delaware, with its principal operating offices in Austin, Texas. It is engaged in the evaluation, acquisition and development of oil & gas, refining, power generation, natural gas transmission and processing energy projects in the western United States and Latin America. Maple Resources was established in 1986 in Dallas, Texas USA. Maple Resources engaged in a number of oil and gas acquisitions and dispositions and ultimately acquired assets that included 10 gas processing plants and approximately 770 miles of natural gas gathering lines and transmission infrastructure. In 1992, Maple Resources Dallas sold substantially all of its existing US-based assets and began to pursue energy projects in Latin America. Maple Resources went to Peru in 1992 and managed its Peru business through The Maple Gas Corporation del Peru Ltd ("Maple Peru"). In 1993, Maple Peru began developing the Aguaytía Project, an integrated natural gas and electric power generation and transmission project. This US$ 273 million project involved the first commercial development of a natural gas field in Peru, as well as the construction and operation of approximately 175 miles of hydrocarbon pipelines, a gas processing plant, a fractionation facility, a 153 MW power plant and the related 392 km of electricity transmission lines. The Aguaytía Project began commercial operation in 1998. Maple Peru also acquired a 4,000 barrel per day refinery in Pucallpa along with 3 producing oil fields. In 2007, Maple Peru was registered on the London Stock Market AIM under the name of Maple Energy, plc. In October 2015, Maple Resources along with its partners took Maple Gas del Peru private with the acquisition of the company from Maple Energy, plc, the publicly listed company.
Development Strategy
The new development strategy is to focus on the acquisition, development and financing of oil, gas, refining and electric power projects in Texas, Peru and other countries in Central and Latin America.
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. We recently completed a private placement financing with certain accredited investors, including our two executive officers and directors. 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.
Refinery Transaction
On March 4, 2017, MMEX Resources Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Maple Resources Corporation (“Maple”), a related party, to acquire all of Maple’s right, title and interest (the “Rights”) in plans to build a $450 million, 50,000 barrels per day capacity crude oil refinery in Pecos County, Texas (the “Refinery Transaction” or the “Project”). Pursuant to the Refinery Transaction, the Company agreed to acquire the Rights in exchange for the issuance of 7,000,000,000 new common shares (the “Purchased Shares”).
The Refinery Transaction provides for the Company to issue the Purchased Shares in two tranches, of which the First Tranche of 1,500,000,000 shares was issued on March 4, 2017. The Second Tranche of 5,500,000,000 shares is to be issued once the Company’s Articles of Incorporation are amended to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. In addition, the Second Tranche amount of shares will be adjusted (up or down) subject to valuation of the Refinery Transaction by a third party outside consultant.

Completion of the Project is subject to the receipt of required governmental permits and completion of required debt and equity financing.
Results of Operations
We recorded net income of $100,230, or $0.00 per share, for the nine months ended January 31, 2017 and a net loss of $2,302,772, or $(0.02) per share for the nine months ended January 31, 2016.
Revenues
We have not yet begun to generate revenues.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $38,766 to $21,759 for the three months ended January 31, 2017 from $60,525 for the three months ended January 31, 2016 and decreased $46,612 to $148,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2016 from $194,612 for the nine months ended January 31, 2016. The decrease is due to reduced payroll and operating expenses as we have focused on our new development strategy, partially offset by increased professional fees in the current fiscal year.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Our property and equipment is fully depreciated as of January 31, 2017; therefore, our depreciation and amortization expenses are not currently material to our operations. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $0 and $363 for the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $386 and $1,624 for the nine months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Other Income (Expense)
Our interest expense increased $61,267 to $97,436 for the three months ended January 31, 2017 from $36,169 for the three months ended January 31, 2016, primarily due to increased amortization of debt discount on the convertible note associated with the Settlement Agreement. Our interest expense decreased $278,791 to $214,375 for the nine months ended January 31, 2017 from $493,166 for the nine months ended January 31, 2016 due to a reduction in our interest-bearing indebtedness, partially offset by the fees incurred on and debt discount amortization associated with the Settlement Agreement.
We reported a gain on derivative liabilities of $222,080 and $1,026,919 for the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We reported a gain on derivative liabilities of $255,188 for the nine months ended January 31, 2017 and a loss on derivative liabilities of $247,849 for the nine months ended January 31, 2016. In a series of subscription agreements, we have issued warrants that contain certain anti-dilution provisions that we have identified as derivatives. We estimate the fair value of the derivatives using multinomial lattice models that value the warrants based on a probability weighted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes. We also identified the variable conversion price feature of the Settlement Agreement as a derivative and estimated the fair value of the derivative using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility and management’s estimates of various potential equity financing transactions. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management's judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.

We reported a gain on extinguishment of accrued salaries of $207,803 for the three months ended January 31, 2017. We had no gain or loss on extinguishment of accrued salaries for the three months ended January 31, 2016. We reported a gain on extinguishment of accrued salaries of $207,803 for the nine months ended January 31, 2017 and a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,365,521 for the nine months ended January 31, 2016. Our gains or losses on extinguishment of debt result primarily from the conversion of preferred stock and accrued dividends and convertible notes payable to shares of our common stock. We record the value of the shares issued at the current market price, which may be either lower or higher than the conversion price per share, resulting in a gain or loss on conversion.
Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the above, we reported net income of $310,688 and $929,862 for the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, net income of $100,230 for the nine months ended January 31, 2017 and a net loss of $2,302,772 for the nine months ended January 31, 2016.
Non-Controlling Interest in Loss of Consolidated Subsidiaries
Non-controlling interest in loss of consolidated subsidiaries was $455 and $460 for the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $1,370 and $1,384 for the nine months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to the Company
Net income attributable to the Company was $311,143 and $930,322 for the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $101,600 for the nine months ended January 31, 2017. Net loss attributable to the Company was $2,301,388 for the nine months ended January 31, 2016.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
As of January 31, 2017, we had current assets of $82, comprised of cash, and current liabilities of $2,397,210, resulting in a working capital deficit and a total stockholders’ deficit of $2,397,128. Included in our current liabilities as of January 31, 2017 are derivative liabilities of $48,062, which we do not anticipate will require the payment of cash.
Because of our continuing operating losses, we have not generated positive operating cash flows. As a result, we have significant short-term cash needs. Our principal source of operating capital has been provided from private sales of our common stock and warrants and debt financing.
During the nine months ended January 31, 2017, financing of $37,563 was provided by common stock and warrant subscriptions in a private placement, $1,000 provided by the sale of common stock and $84,782 from a Settlement Agreement.

Private Placement
We recently completed a private placement of common stock and warrants to qualified investors for cash and services. During fiscal year 2016 and through January 31, 2017, $118,230 cash and $60,000 in services had been received, including $49,200 cash from related parties, for a total of 41,784,320 common shares of the Company and a total of 43,025,313 warrants. The warrants entitle the investors to purchase common shares at exercise prices of $0.0001 and $0.01 per share through March 1, 2022. Of the common shares issued, 1,096,397 shares were issued in July 2016, 27,740,123 shares were issued in December 2016 and 12,947,500 shares were issued in January 2017.
Settlement Agreement and Stipulation
On October 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Stipulation (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Rockwell Capital Partners, Inc. (“RCP”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, as amended, RCP has purchased certain outstanding payables between the Company and designated vendors totaling $84,782 (the “Payables” or “Claims”) and will exchange the portion of such Payables assigned for a Settlement Amount payable in common shares of the Company.
In settlement of the Claims, the Company shall issue and deliver to RCP, in one or more tranches as necessary, shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”), subject to adjustment and ownership limitations as set forth in the Settlement Agreement, sufficient to satisfy the Claims amount at a 50% discount to market based on the market price during the valuation period as defined in the Settlement Agreement. The Company also issued 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock as a settlement fee on October 31, 2016.
On October 28, 2016, a circuit court in Florida issued an order confirming the fairness of the terms of the Settlement Agreement within the meaning of exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a) (10) of the Securities Act of 1933.
The Company’s creditors received a total of $84,782 pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, and through January 31, 2017, the Company issued to RCP a total of 452,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in conversion of $56,100 note principal.
As of March 9, 2017, we issued an additional 37,000,000 common shares and have terminated any further obligation to issue shares. Our creditors will not receive further funding from the Settlement Agreement.
Future Financing Needs
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, preferred 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 recently completed a private placement 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.

Sources and Uses of Cash
We used net cash of $124,293 in operating activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2017 as a result of net income attributable to the Company of $101,600, non-cash expenses totaling $108,960 and increases in accounts payable of $23,187 and accrued expenses of $106,321, partially offset by non-controlling interest in loss of consolidated subsidiaries of $1,370 and non-cash gains totaling $462,991.
By comparison, we used net cash of $71,545 in operating activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2016 as a result of net loss attributable to the Company of $2,301,388 and non-controlling interest in loss of consolidated subsidiaries of $1,384, partially offset by non-cash expenses totaling $1,999,433 and increases in accounts payable of $2,515 and accrued expenses of $229,279.
We had no net cash provided by or used in investing activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2017. We had net cash provided by investing activities of $10,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2016, comprised of decrease in deposits.
We had net cash provided by financing activities was $123,345 for the nine months ended January 31, 2017, comprised of proceeds from common stock payable of $37,563, proceeds from issuance of common stock of $1,000 and proceeds from convertible note payable of $84,782. Net cash provided by financing activities was $65,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2016 from proceeds from common stock payable.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
For further information on our significant accounting policies see the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this filing. Other than accounting policies for derivatives and related fair value disclosures that were added in the current fiscal year, there have been no changes to our significant accounting policies.
Derivative liabilities
In a series of subscription agreements, we have issued warrants that contain certain anti-dilution provisions that we have identified as derivatives. We have also identified the conversion feature of one of our convertible notes payable as a derivative. We estimate the fair value of the derivatives using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and multinomial lattice models that value the warrants based on a probability weighted cash flow model using projections of the various potential outcomes. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility and management’s estimates of various potential equity financing transactions. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management's judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.

Fair value of financial instruments
Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the FASB 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, accrued expenses and notes reported on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value using a hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy prioritized the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our derivative liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and estimated as follows:

Table of Contents |
Our results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined) in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15(c) and 15d – 15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Securities Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2017. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have identified the following material weaknesses:
|
· | As of January 31, 2017, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. |

· | As of January 31, 2017, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. |
Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2017, based on the criteria established in "2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We are not a party to or otherwise involved in any legal proceedings.
In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
