NORTH
AMERICAN ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.
(Formerly
Mar Ked Mineral Exploration, Inc.)
(An
Exploration Stage Company)
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1: |
ORGANIZATION
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
Organization
The
financial statements include the accounts of North American Energy Resources,
Inc. (formerly Mar Ked Mineral Exploration, Inc.) (“NAER”) and its wholly owned
subsidiary, North American Exploration, Inc. (“NAE”) (formerly Signature Energy,
Inc.) (collectively the “Company”).
NAER
was
incorporated in Nevada on August 22, 2006 as mar Ked Mineral Exploration, Inc.
and changed its name to North American Energy Resources, Inc. on August 11,
2008. NAE was incorporated in Nevada on August 18, 2006 as Signature Energy,
Inc. and changed its name to North American Exploration, Inc. on June 2,
2008.
The
consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared
by
the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for interim reporting and include all adjustments (consisting only
of
normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair presentation. These consolidated financial statements have not been
audited.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations for interim reporting. The Company believes that the disclosures
contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
However, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company’s Annual Report for the year ended April 30, 2008, which is included in
the Company’s Form 8-K/A dated July 28, 2008 and filed on September 12, 2008.
The financial data for the interim periods presented may not necessarily reflect
the results to be anticipated for the complete year.
Acquisition
On
July
28, 2008, the shareholders of NAE entered into a stock purchase agreement with
NAER. NAER issued 21,000,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the
shareholders of NAE in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding stock
of
NAE. Completion of the stock purchase agreement resulted in the shareholders
of
NAE having control of NAER. Accordingly, the transaction is recorded for
accounting purposes as the acquisition of NAE by NAER with NAE as the acquirer
(reverse acquisition). The financial statements of the Company prior to July
28,
2008 are those of NAE. Formerly, NAER used a November 30 year-end. As a result
of the reverse acquisition, the Company will utilize the April 30 year-end
of
NAE in the future.
7
Business
NAE
is an
independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the acquisition,
exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties and the production
of oil and natural gas. The Company operates in the upstream segment of the
oil
and gas industry with activities, including the drilling, completion and
operation of oil and gas wells in Oklahoma. The Company also has an interest
in
a pipeline in its area of operations which is used for gathering its gas and
the
gas production of other producers.
Exploration
stage
The
Company is in the exploration stage and has realized only nominal revenue to
date. The Company is now beginning to develop leasehold which it owns in
Washington County, Oklahoma. Accordingly, the operation of the Company is
presented as those of a development stage enterprise, from its inception (August
18, 2006) as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.”
Cash
and cash equivalents
The
Company considers all cash on hand; cash in banks and all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and
cash equivalents. At times cash and cash equivalent balances at a limited number
of banks and financial institutions may exceed insurable amounts. The Company
believes it mitigates its risks by depositing cash or investing in cash
equivalents in major financial institutions.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company predominately derives its revenue from the sale of produced crude oil
and natural gas. Revenue is recorded in the month the product is delivered
to
the purchaser. At the end of each month, the Company estimates the amount of
production delivered to purchasers and the price it will receive. Variances
between the Company’s estimated revenue and actual payment are recorded in the
month the payment is received, however, difference have been
insignificant.
Property
and equipment
The
Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas
operations.
Under this method all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in connection
with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas
reserves are capitalized. No gains or losses are recognized upon the sale or
other disposition of oil and natural gas properties except in transactions
that
would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved
reserves. The costs of unevaluated oil and natural gas properties are excluded
from the amortizable base until the time that either proven reserves are found
or it has determined that such properties are impaired. The Company had no
capitalized costs related to unevaluated properties at July 31, 2008 and April
30, 2008, respectively. As properties are evaluated, the related costs would
be
transferred to proven oil and natural gas properties using full cost accounting.
All capitalized costs were included in the amortization base as of July 31,
2008
and 2007.
8
Under
the
full cost method the net book value of oil and natural gas properties, less
related deferred income taxes, may not exceed the estimated after-tax future
net
revenues from proved oil and natural gas properties, discounted at 10% (the
“Ceiling Limitation”). In arriving at estimated future net revenues, estimated
lease operating expenses, development costs, and certain production-related
taxes are deducted. In calculating future net revenues, prices and costs in
effect at the time of the calculation are held constant indefinitely, except
for
changes that are fixed and determinable by existing contracts. The net book
value is compared to the ceiling limitation on a quarterly and yearly basis.
The
excess, if any, of the net book value above the ceiling limitation is charged
to
expense in the period in which it occurs and is not subsequently reinstated.
Reserve estimates used in determining estimated future net revenues have been
prepared by the Company with the assistance of a consultant.
Other
property and equipment consists principally of the Company’s interest in the
pipeline. Other property and equipment and related accumulated amortization
and
depreciation are relieved upon retirement or sale and the gain or loss is
included in operations. Renewals and replacements that extend the useful life
of
property and equipment are treated as capital additions. Accumulated
depreciation of other property and equipment at July 31, 2008 and April 30,
2008
is approximately $1,790 and $716, respectively.
In
accordance with the impairment provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets,” the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying
value of its non-oil and gas long-lived assets when events occur that indicate
an impairment in value may exist. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum
of
the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount
of the assets. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount
by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value
of
the asset. No impairments were recorded in 2008 or 2007.
Depreciation
and amortization
All
capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties and equipment, including
the
estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized using the
unit-of-production method based on total proved reserves. Depreciation of other
equipment is computed on the straight line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets, which range from three to twenty-five years.
Natural
gas sales and gas imbalances
The
Company follows the entitlement method of accounting for natural gas sales,
recognizing as revenues only its net interest share of all production sold.
Any
amount attributable to the sale of production in excess of or less than the
Company’s net interest is recorded as a gas balancing asset or liability. At
July 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008, there were no natural gas
imbalances.
Credit
and market risk
The
Company sells oil and natural gas to one customer and participates with other
parties in the drilling, completion and operation of oil and natural gas wells.
Join interest and oil and natural gas sales receivables related to these
operations are generally unsecured. The Company provides an allowance for
doubtful accounts for certain joint interest owners’ receivable balances when
the Company believes the recoverable balance may not be collected. The Company
has the right of offset of the joint interest owners’ share of natural gas
production against amounts owed by the joint interest owners. Accounts
receivable are presented net of the related allowance for doubtful
accounts.
9
In
2008
and 2007, the Company had cash deposits in certain banks that at times exceeded
the maximum insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company
monitors the financial condition of the banks and has experienced no losses
on
these accounts.
General
and administrative expense
The
Company receives fees for the operation of jointly owned oil and natural gas
properties and records such reimbursements as reductions of general and
administrative expense. Such fees totaled approximately $3,600 and $0 in the
three months ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Oil
and natural gas reserve estimates
The
Company prepared its oil and natural gas reserves with the assistance of a
consultant. Proved reserves, estimated future net revenues and the present
value
of our reserves are estimated based upon a combination of historical data and
estimates of future activity. Consistent with SEC requirements, we have based
our present value of proved reserves on spot prices on the date of the estimate.
The reserve estimates are used in calculating depletion, depreciation and
amortization and in the assessment of the Company’s Ceiling Limitation.
Significant assumptions are required in the valuation of proved oil and natural
gas reserves which, as described herein, may affect the amount at which oil
and
natural gas properties are recorded. Actual results could differ materially
from
these estimates.
Income
taxes
Provisions
for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year
and deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are provided on differences between the
tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial
statements, and tax carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates
applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are
expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for
income taxes.
Earnings
(loss) per common share
Earnings
(loss) per common share are calculated under the provisions of SFAS No.
128, “Earnings
per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”), which established new standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share. SFAS No. 128 requires the Company to report
both
basic earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share, which is based on
the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus all potential dilutive
shares outstanding. At July 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no potentially
dilutive common stock equivalents. Accordingly, basic and diluted earnings
(loss) per share are the same for each of the periods
presented.
10
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Fair
value of financial instruments
Financial
instruments consist of accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term
borrowings. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates
fair
value due to their short-term nature or the current rates at which the Company
could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities.
Contingencies
Certain
conditions may exist as of the date financial statements are issued, which
may
result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or
more future events occur or fail to occur. Company management and its legal
counsel assess such contingencies related to legal proceeding that are pending
against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings,
the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal
proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount
of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a
contingency indicates that it is probably that a liability has been incurred
and
the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability
would
be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates
that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably
possible, or if probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the
contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss
if
determinable would be disclosed.
Asset
retirement obligations
SFAS
No.
143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” addresses financial
accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs and amends
FASB Statement No. 19, “Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas
Producing Companies.” SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability
for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it
is
incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and that the
associated retirement costs be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of
the
long-lived asset. The Company determines its asset retirement obligation by
calculating the present value of the estimated cash flows related to the
liability. Periodic accretion of the discount of the estimated liability would
be recorded in the statement of operations. At July 31, 2008 and 2007, the
Company has estimated that its share of the salvage value of lease equipment
would exceed its share of the cost of plugging and abandoning its producing
properties.
11
Recent
accounting pronouncements
There
are
several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) which are not yet effective. Each of these
pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company.
Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had
or
will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating
results.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations,” (SFAS 141R) and SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”).
Both SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are to be adopted effective May 1, 2009. SFAS
141R
requires the application of several new or modified accounting concepts that,
due to their complexity, could introduce a degree of volatility in periods
subsequent to a material business combination. SFAS 141R requires that all
business combinations result in assets and liabilities acquired being recorded
at fair value, with limited exceptions. Other areas related to business
combinations that will require changes from current GAAP included: contingent
consideration, acquisition costs, contingencies, restructuring costs, in
process
research and development and income taxes, among others. SFAS 160 will primarily
impact the presentation of minority or noncontrolling interests within the
balance sheet and statement of operations as well as the accounting for
transactions with noncontrolling interest holders.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). This
statement amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards
for
the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of
a
subsidiary. SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary,
which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest
in
the consolidated entity that should be reported as a component of equity
in the
consolidated financial statements. Among other requirements, SFAS 160 requires
consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts
attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also
requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of
the
amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the
noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December
15,
2008. We do not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have an impact
on
our financial position or results of operations.
Prior
operations
Prior
to
the acquisition of NAE, NAER was an exploration stage company engaged in
the
acquisition, exploration and development of resource properties, principally
gold, in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. Since the acquisition
of NAE,
NAER has abandoned its plans to develop gold leases and will concentrate
future
resources in acquiring, exploring and developing oil and natural gas
properties.

7: COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES
The
Company currently maintains its corporate office in the office of its accountant
at no charge.
The
shareholders of NAER before the acquisition of NAE have agreed to contribute
a
total of $1,500,000 to NAER. Of this amount, $150,000 was contributed prior
to
July 31, 2008.
NOTE
8: GOING
CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will
continue as a going concern. The Company commenced operations in September
2006.
At
July
31, 2008 and April 30, 2008 the Company had negative working capital of $382,360
and $509,192, respectively, which includes $501,000 in non-interest bearing
loans from related parties. The Company expects to meet its capital requirements
for the next year with the $1,350,000 in remaining capital contributions
due
from shareholders. (Note 7)
In
addition, the Company expects to sell all of its interest in its existing
developmental drilling prospects on a 1/3 for 1/4 basis and be carried to
the
tanks, thus having no additional up-front capital costs on existing properties.
This method of operations allows the company to participate in a larger number
of prospects with a relatively low capital outlay.
These
conditions raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern without the agreed capital contributions by shareholders. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome
of
these uncertainties.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
|
This
statement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Securities Act. Discussions containing such forward-looking statements may
be
found throughout this statement. Actual events or results may differ materially
from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various
factors, including the matters set forth in this statement.
Our
plan
of operation for the next twelve months is to obtain the committed funding
from
our shareholders of $1,350,000, continue to develop our existing leases and
acquire additional leases.
COMPARISON
OF THREE MONTHS ENDED July 31, 2008 AND 2007
During
the three-month periods ended July 31, 2008, we had natural gas sales of
$1,266
and none in the prior year period. In the 2007 period, the Company’s field was
shut-in due to flooding experienced earlier in the year. Sales did not
re-commence until after substantial repairs had been completed.
During
the three-month periods ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, general and administrative
expenses, amounted to $15,804 and $520, respectively, and are summarized

Accounting
and software costs in 2008 account for the majority of the increase. The
accounting was brought up to date during the 2008 quarter and new oil and
gas
software was used for the first time.
LIQUIDITY,
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS
At
July
31, 2008, we had $194,929 in cash and a working capital deficit of $382,360.
Comparatively, we had cash of $185,023 and a working capital deficit of $509,192
at April 30, 2008.
Pursuant
to the stock purchase agreement between NAER and the shareholders of NAE,
the
shareholders of NAER prior to the acquisition of NAE have agreed to contribute
$1,500,000 for the working capital needs of NAER. As of July 31, 2008, the
Company had received $150,000 from the shareholders.
16
We
estimate that our total planned expenditures over the next twelve months
will be
approximately $120,000 for corporate overhead. We expect to utilize excess
funds
to acquire additional acreage for future drilling operations.
CASH
USED IN OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Cash
used
for operating activities was $138,928 for the three-month period ended July
31,
2008 and $5,802 for the three-month period ended July 31, 2007. The majority
of
the increase is attributed to using the funds received from joint interest
participants to pay drilling and development costs incurred during the quarter.
The majority of the funds required for drilling and developing existing acreage
will come from prepayments from joint interest participants. Aside from
overhead, we expect to utilize the majority of our excess capital, if any,
to
acquire additional leases.
CASH
FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
We
received $150,000 in cash from shareholder contributions during the three-month
period ended July 31, 2008 and expect to continue to receive additional
shareholder contributions as needed to complete our business plan. It is
anticipated that shareholder contributions will fund the Company while revenue
from operations grows from its existing levels.
GOING
CONCERN
We
have
not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining the
shareholder contributions discussed above to pursue our business plan. For
these
reasons, there is doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern, since
we
are dependent upon our shareholders to contribute sufficient funds to finance
future operations until our revenues are adequate to fund our cost of
operations.

ITEM
4T: CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s 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 of 1934, as amended). Management conducted
an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal
Control -
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management
has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
was effective as of July 31, 2008.
|
This
quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the company’s
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s
registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s
report in this quarterly report.
(b)
|
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes
in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, known
to the
chief executive officer or the chief financial officer that occurred
during the period covered by this report that has materially affected,
or
is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control
over financial reporting.
