AMERICA RESOURCES EXPLORATION, INC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These financial statements of America Resources Exploration, Inc., formerly Alazzio Entertainment Corp. (“the Company"), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Certain information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read along with the Company’s audited financial statements as of March 31, 2015.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As of June 30, 2015, the Company’s significant accounting policies were consistent with those discussed in the audited financial statements as of March 31, 2015.
Oil and Gas Properties—The Company follows the full cost accounting method to account for oil and natural gas properties, whereby costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on nonproducing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil and gas wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized to operations.
The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, excluding unevaluated and unproved properties, are amortized as depreciation, depletion and amortization expense using the units-of-production method based on estimated proved recoverable oil and gas reserves.
The costs associated with unevaluated and unproved properties, initially excluded from the amortization base, relate to unproved leasehold acreage, wells and production facilities in progress and wells pending determination of the existence of proved reserves, together with capitalized interest costs for these projects. Unproved leasehold costs are transferred to the amortization base with the costs of drilling the related well once a determination of the existence of proved reserves has been made or upon impairment of a lease. Costs associated with wells in progress and completed wells that have yet to be evaluated are transferred to the amortization base once a determination is made whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the property. Costs of dry wells are transferred to the amortization base immediately upon determination that the well is unsuccessful.
All items classified as unproved property are assessed on a quarterly basis for possible impairment or reduction in value. Properties are assessed on an individual basis or as a group if properties are individually insignificant. The assessment includes consideration of various factors, including, but not limited to, the following: intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; assignment of proved reserves; and economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. During any period in which these factors indicate an impairment, the cumulative drilling costs incurred to date for such property and all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are transferred to the full cost pool and become subject to amortization.
6
Under full cost accounting rules for each cost center, capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties, including asset retirement costs, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, may not exceed an amount (the "cost ceiling") equal to the sum of (a) the present value of future net cash flows from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves, based on current prices and operating conditions, discounted at ten percent (10%), plus (b) the cost of properties not being amortized, plus (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of any unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, less (d) any income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties involved. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to operations. For purposes of the ceiling test calculation, current prices are defined as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month price for each month within the 12 month period prior to the end of the reporting period. Prices are adjusted for basis or location differentials. Unless sales contracts specify otherwise, prices are held constant for the productive life of each well. Similarly, current costs are assumed to remain constant over the entire calculation period.
Given the volatility of oil and gas prices, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves could change in the near term. If oil and gas prices decline in the future, even if only for a short period of time, it is possible that impairments of oil and gas properties could occur. In addition, it is reasonably possible that impairments could occur if costs are incurred in excess of any increases in the present value of future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, or if properties are sold for proceeds less than the discounted present value of the related proved oil and gas reserves.
Revenue Recognition—Oil and gas sales result from undivided interests held by the Company in oil and gas properties. Sales of oil and gas produced from oil and gas operations are recognized when the product is delivered to the purchaser and title transfers to the purchaser. Charges for gathering and transportation are included in production expenses. The Company had no sales of oil and gas during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Asset Retirement Obligations—The Company records a liability for asset retirement obligations ("ARO") associated with its oil and gas wells when those assets are placed in service. The corresponding cost is capitalized as an asset and included in the carrying amount of oil and gas properties and is depleted over the useful life of the properties. Subsequently, the ARO liability is accreted to its then-present value.
Inherent in the fair value calculation of an ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the fair value of the existing ARO liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. Settlements greater than or less than amounts accrued as ARO are recorded as a gain or loss upon settlement.
Capitalized Interest—Interest is capitalized as part of the historical cost of developing and constructing assets for significant projects. Significant oil and gas investments in unproved properties, significant exploration and development projects for which depreciation, depletion and amortization expense is not currently recognized, and exploration or development activities that are in progress qualify for interest capitalization. Interest is capitalized until the asset is ready for service. Capitalized interest is determined by multiplying the Company's weighted-average borrowing cost on debt by the average amount of qualifying costs incurred. Once an asset subject to interest capitalization is completed and placed in service, the associated capitalized interest is expensed through depletion or impairment, along with other capitalized costs related to that asset.

NOTE 2 – OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
On June 10, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Zheng Xiangwu, a resident of Guang Dong Province, China, whereby the Company issued 4 million shares of its common stock in exchange for rights to certain oil and gas leases located in Frio and Atascosa Counties, Texas, consisting of a total of 714 total acres of land, two (2) working wells and a total of seven (7) wells (the “Leases”).

On June 12, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of the Leases pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. As a result of the completion of this acquisition, 4 million shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Mr. Zheng Xiangwu, which owns the Company’s largest shareholder, Rise Fast Limited (see Note 5). The number of shares issued to Mr. Zheng was determined by valuing the Leases at $160,000 and valuing the Company’s stock at $0.04 per share. The price per share was determined by reference to the last price at which the Company sold shares of its common stock, $0.01, pursuant to its offering of shares under its S-1 Registration Statement in August 2014, and slightly adjusted by reference to the market bid price of $0.15 immediately prior to the sale of the 4 million shares to Mr. Zheng.
Mr. Zheng is the owner of Rise Fast Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Rise Fast”), which is the majority shareholder of the Company. Rise Fast owns 90,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
NOTE 3 –ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The Company has asset retirement obligations for any wells that are permanently removed from service. The primary obligations involve the removal and disposal of surface equipment, plugging and abandoning the wells and site restoration. For the purpose of determining the fair value of ARO incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2015, the Company used the following assumptions.

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES
The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur. The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2015 because the Company estimates it will record no income tax expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. The Company recorded no income tax expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. The Company has a valuation allowance that fully offsets net deferred tax assets.
NOTE 5 – COMMON STOCK
On April 16, 2015, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State whereby it amended its Articles of Incorporation by increasing the Company's authorized number of shares of common stock from 75 million to 300 million and increasing all of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of fifteen (15) shares for every one (1) share held. All share amounts in these financial statements have been adjusted to reflect this stock split. On June 12, 2015, Company issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock related to the acquisition of oil and gas property (see Note 2).
On June 12, 2015, the Company accepted a Subscription Agreement for the sale of up to 2.55 million shares of its common stock.No underwriters were utilized in connection with this sale ofsecurities. The Subscription Agreement provides that the shares shallbe sold as follows: (i) upon execution thereof, the purchase irrevocably agrees to purchase 1million at $0.15 per share; (ii) withinsixty (60) days of the date of the Subscription Agreement, the purchaser has the right to purchase an additional 750,000 shares atthe price of $0.20 per share; and (iii) within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date of the Subscription Agreement, thepurchaser has the right to purchase an additional 800,000 shares at the price of $0.20 per share.

America Resources Exploration Inc. was incorporated on January 24, 2014, under the laws of the State of Nevada to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, with the specific intended business activity of operating photo booth rentals. The Company was incorporated under the name “Alazzio Entertainment Corp.” and changed its name to America Resources Exploration Inc. on April 17, 2015.
On May 27, 2015, Seabourn Oil Company, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“SOC”) and a subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Joe Madison Seabourn, a resident of Abilene, Texas and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Mr. Seabourn”) and Nelaco Operating Inc., a Texas corporation (“Nelaco”), whereby SOC agreed to purchase from Nelaco one hundred percent (100%) interest in certain oil and gas assets located in Callahan County, Texas in exchange for a six percent (6%) ownership interest in SOC, which reduces the Company’s ownership interest in SOC to ninety-four percent (94%). Mr. Seabourn is also the President and controlling shareholder of Nelaco.
The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), dated June 10, 2015, with Zheng Xiangwu, a resident of Guang Dong Province, China, whereby the Company issued 4 million shares of its common stock in exchange for rights to certain oil and gas leases located in Frio and Atascosa Counties, Texas, consisting of a total of 714 total acres of land, two (2) working wells and a total of seven (7) wells (the “Leases”). The number of shares issued to Mr. Zheng was determined by valuing the oil and gas leases at $160,000 and valuing the Company’s stock at $0.04 per share.
Mr. Zheng is the owner of Rise Fast Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Rise Fast”), which is the majority shareholder of the Company. Rise Fast owned 90,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement. As a result of this transaction, Mr. Zheng controlled a total of 94,000,000 shares, which represented 72.64% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares at the time.
The transaction was completed on June 12, 2015 and accounted for a business combination as the Company is under control of Mr. Zheng.
The three (3) producing leases acquired by the Company are situated in Atascosa and Frio Counties, Texas, located in the Eagle Ford Shale formation - the Jane Burns “C” (“Burns”), the Theo Rogers “C”, and the Theo Rogers “A” & “D” (“Rogers”) Leases. The Company acquired a 99.5% working interest (74.625% net revenue interest) in each lease. We estimate the Burns and Rogers Leases contain 68,272 net barrels of proved oil reserves having a PV-10 value of approximately $1,007,000 as of April 1, 2015.
As a result of the acquisition of the assets described above, the Company’s operations moved into the oil and gas sector.
On July 6, July 8 and July 9, 2015, the Company entered into five (5) Asset Purchase Agreements with Mr. Zheng Xiangwu, an individual residing in China and the Company's largest shareholder, whereby the Company purchased from Mr. Zheng the rights to certain oil and gas assets located in Ellis and Harper Counties, Oklahoma; Hemphill County, Texas; Madison County, Texas; Shelby County, Texas and Emery County, Utah. Subsequent to the Company’s quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company issued to Mr. Zheng a total of 650,000 shares of common stock in consideration for these oil and gas assets. On June 11, 2015, the oil and gas assets that are the subject of the five (5) Asset Purchase Agreements effective June 11, 2015, were assigned to the Company. The number of shares issued to Mr. Zheng was determined by using the original purchase price of the property.

Management is currently soliciting bids from several service providers so that the Company can reactive the inactive wells through a rework program on the Leases. Additional rights may be leased out from mineral owner to deeper zones near 5,000 feet and below. However, such plans are subject to raising financing of $500,000 to pay for such rework plans and an analysis of potential income based on projected oil prices in the future.
The Company has also been actively seeking other producing and non-producing leases that will allow us to explore and drill in high-profile pay zones.
For the quarter Ended June 30, 2015:
Results of Operations
For the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, we had no revenue. Expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2015 totaled $16,580 resulting in a net loss of $16,580 as compared to a net loss of $5,275 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2015, is a result of lease operating expense in the amount of $2,592, accretion expense of $45, and general and administrative expense of $13,943 as compared to lease operating expense and accretion expense of $0 and general and administrative expense of $5,275 for the three month period ended June 30, 2014. The lease operating expense is attributable to the interests in the Leases acquired, and the accretion expense is attributable to the Company’s asset retirement obligations for any wells permanently removed from service. The increase in general and administrative expense is due to increased activity as a result of the Company entering into oil and gas operations.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2015, we had $145,911 in cash and cash equivalents as compared to $5,971 in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2015. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is due to the Company’s sale in June 2015 of 1 million shares of common stock at $0.15 per share, resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $150,000.
Funds on hand and funds generated from future operations are expected to be sufficient to finance the operational and capital expenditure requirements of the Company.
Property and equipment increased from $0 at March 31, 2015 to $215,767 at June 30, 2015. The increase in property and equipment is due to the acquisition of interests in the Leases and other oil and gas assets described above, resulting in proved properties of $164,504, overriding royalty interests of $45,328, and unproved property of $5,935.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on the Company's financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the Company is a party, under which the Company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2015. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that there was a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. The material weakness consist of the following: (a) the Company’s Board of Directors did not include sufficient oversight by independent directors nor has an audit committee been formed; (b) many critical duties are combined and assigned to limited staff; and (c) the Company maintains insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of generally accepted accounting principles and SEC disclosure requirements. The Company intends to address each of these factors shortly, perhaps as soon as prior to completion of its next fiscal quarter.
Management also confirmed that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three month period ended June 30, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On June 10, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Mr. Zheng Xiangwu, a resident of Guang Dong Province, China, whereby the Company issued 4 million shares of its common stock on June 12, 2015 in exchange for one hundred percent interest in certain oil and gas leases giving the holder the right to produce oil and gas from an aggregate of 714 acres located in Frio and Atascosa Counties, Texas. Mr. Zheng is the sole owner of Rise Fast Limited, a Hong Kong corporation, which is the majority shareholder of the Company and, prior to this transaction, owned a total of 90 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares issued to Mr. Zheng was determined by valuing the oil and gas leases at $160,000 and valuing the Company’s stock at $0.04 per share.

On June 12, 2015, the Company accepted a Subscription Agreement for the sale of up to 2.55 million shares of its common stock. No underwriters were utilized in connection with this sale of securities. The Subscription Agreement provides that the shares shall be sold as follows: (i) upon execution thereof, the purchaser irrevocably agreed to purchase 1million at $0.15 per share; (ii) within sixty (60) days of the date of the Subscription Agreement, the purchaser has the right to purchase an additional 750,000 shares at the price of $0.20 per share; and (iii) within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date of the Subscription Agreement, the purchaser has the right to purchase an additional 800,000 shares at the price of $0.20 per share. On June 19, 2015, the Company received payment of $150,000 for the first tranche described above.
The foregoing issuances of securities were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Neither we nor any person acting on our behalf offered or sold these securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The shares sold are restricted securities and the certificates representing these shares have been affixed with a standard restrictive legend, which states that the securities cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption therefrom. The purchaser represented to the Company that they were purchasing the securities for their own account and not for the account of any other persons. The purchasers were provided with written disclosure that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and therefore cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption therefrom.
On May 27, 2015, Seabourn Oil Company, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“SOC”) and a subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Joe Madison Seabourn, a resident of Abilene, Texas and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Mr. Seabourn”) and Nelaco Operating Inc., a Texas corporation (“Nelaco”), whereby SOC agreed to purchase from Nelaco one hundred percent (100%) interest in certain oil and gas assets located in Callahan County, Texas in exchange for a six percent (6%) ownership interest in SOC, which reduces the Company’s ownership interest in SOC to ninety-four percent (94%). Mr. Seabourn is also the President and controlling shareholder of Nelaco.
No underwriters were utilized in connection with this sale of securities by SOC. The sale of the shares by SOC was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.
