NORTH AMERICAN ENERGY RESOURCES, INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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, 2009, which is included in the Company’s Form 10-K dated April 30, 2009.  The financial data for the interim periods presented may not necessarily reflect the results to be anticipated for the complete year.

In preparing the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has reviewed, as determined necessary by the Company's management, events that have occurred after January 31, 2010, up until the issuance of the financial statements, which occurred on March 15, 2010.

Acquisition
 
On July 28, 2008, the shareholders of NAE entered into a stock purchase agreement with NAER.  NAER issued 420,000 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 was 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 now utilizes the April 30 year-end of NAE.

 
8

 

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 decline in gas prices has placed the Company's original gas development plans  in Washington County, Oklahoma on hold.  The Company has plans to raise funds in order to develop additional oil leases.  Accordingly, the operation of the Company is presented as those of a development stage enterprise, from its inception (August 18, 2006).

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 January 31, 2010 and April 30, 2009 the Company had a working capital deficit of $107,040 and working capital of $73,006, respectively.  The Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,775,347 which includes a loss of $647,695 during the nine months ended January 31, 2010.

The Company had relied on receiving an additional $1,300,000 from the prior shareholders to fund its planned drilling and development program.  As discussed in Note 3, the prior shareholders decided to default on their agreement.  Accordingly, the Company will plan to meet its capital requirements for the next year with private placements of its common stock or advances from related parties.

In addition, the Company expects to sell the majority 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 limited additional up-front capital costs on existing properties.  This method of operation allows the company to participate in a larger number of prospects with a relatively low capital outlay.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

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.

Fiscal year
2010 refers to periods ending during the fiscal year ending April 30, 2010 and 2009 refers to periods ended during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009.

Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made in the financial statements at January 31, 2009 and for the periods then ended to conform to the January 31, 2010 presentation.  The reclassifications had no effect on net loss.

Recent accounting pronouncements
 
Below is a listing of the most recent accounting standards and their effect on the Company.

In February 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-08 (ASU 2010-08), Technical Corrections to Various Topics.  This amendment eliminated inconsistencies and outdated provisions and provided the needed clarifications to various topics within Topic 815.  The amendments are effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance (February 2, 2010), except for certain amendments.  The amendments to the guidance on accounting for income taxes in a reorganization (Subtopic 852-740) should be applied to reorganizations for which the date of the reorganization is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  For those reorganizations reflected in interim financial statements issued before the amendments in this Update are effective, retrospective application is required.  The clarifications of the guidance on the embedded derivates and hedging (Subtopic 815-15) are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, and should be applied to existing contracts (hybrid instruments) containing embedded derivative features at the date of adoption.  The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-08 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-15, Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing.  This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standard Codification for EITF 09-1.  In July 2009, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by EITF (Emerging Issues Task Force) issued EITF No. 09-1, (ASC Topic 470) “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance” (“EITF 09-1”).  The provisions of EITF 09-1, clarifies the accounting treatment and disclosure of share-lending arrangements that are classified as equity in the financial statements of the share lender.  An example of a share-lending arrangement is an agreement between the Company (share lender) and an investment bank (share borrower) which allows the investment bank to use the loaned shares to enter into equity derivative contracts with investors.  EITF 09-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and requires retrospective application for all arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009.   Share-lending arrangements that have been terminated as a result of counterparty default prior to December 15, 2009, but for which the entity has not reached a final settlement as of December 15, 2009 are within the scope.  Effective for share-lending arrangements entered into on or after the beginning of the first reporting period that begins on or after June 15, 2009.  The Company does not expect the provisions of EITF 09-1 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.  This update addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than a combined unit and will be separated in more circumstances than under existing US GAAP.  This amendment has eliminated the residual method of allocation.  Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105), “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS No. 168”).  Under SFAS No. 168 the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative US GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities.  Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  On the effective date, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. SFAS No. 168 was effective for the Company’s interim quarterly period beginning August 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 168 did not have an impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In April 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 164, (ASC Topic 810) “Not-for-Profit Entities: Mergers and Acquisitions – including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 142” (“SFAS 164”). The provisions of SFAS 164 provide guidance on accounting for a combination of not-for-profit entities either via merger or acquisition.  SFAS 164 is effective for mergers occurring on or after the beginning of an initial reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and acquisitions occurring on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the provisions of SFAS 164 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In September 2008, the FASB issued exposure drafts that eliminate qualifying special purpose entities from the guidance of SFAS No. 140 (ASC Topic 860), “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments of Liabilities,” and  FASB  Interpretation 46 (ASC Topic 810) (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of  Variable  Interest Entities − an interpretation of ARB  No. 51 (ASC Topic 810),” as well as other modifications.  While the proposed revised pronouncements have not been finalized and the proposals are subject to further public comment, the Company anticipates the changes will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.  The changes would be effective May 1, 2010, on a prospective basis.

Oil and natural gas production expenses were $2,138 in 2010, principally on the Company's producing oil wells.  In 2009, the cost was $11,176 and included workover costs on several gas wells which were shut-in during January 2009.

 
17

 
 
Non-cash compensation represents the current period charge for stock which has been issued for consulting contracts.  The 2010 expense is primarily the amortization of contracts with a period ranging from one to three years.  The 2009 expense is primarily from one agreement which was expensed at inception.

During the 2009 period, the Company wrote off the remaining balance of a note receivable as uncollectible.

Other general and administrative expense was higher in 2009 primarily due to higher consulting costs, software costs and field supervision costs.

Other income (expense) during the three months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

Oil and natural gas production expenses were $11,105 in 2010 and $32,038 in 2009.  The majority of the difference is the expenses associated with gas wells which were producing in 2009 and shut-in during January 2009 ($20,728).

During 2010, the Company impaired its producing reserves by $108,000 based on reserve estimates updated to October 31, 2009.

Non-cash compensation represents the current period charge for stock which has been issued for consulting contracts.  The 2010 expense is primarily the amortization of contracts with a period ranging from one to three years.  The 2009 expense is primarily from one agreement which was expensed at inception.

The Company recorded an allowance for bad debts of $10,000 in 2010 on its joint interest receivables.  During the 2009 period, the Company wrote off the remaining balance of a note receivable as uncollectible.

Other general and administrative expense was higher in 2009 primarily due to higher cash consulting costs.

Other income (expense) during the nine months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

   
2010

A shareholder converted a non-interest bearing advance into a note in the amount of $389,000 on May 1, 2009.  The note bears interest at 12% per annum, which accounts for the majority of the interest expense during the 2010 period.
 
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

At January 31, 2010, we had $493 in cash and a working capital deficit of $107,040.  Comparatively, we had cash of $27,966 and working capital of $73,006 at April 30, 2009.  The principal elements of the change in working capital were an increase in prepaid consulting contracts of $360,772 and an increase in current liabilities of $384,428 for the current note payable to a related party which was included as non-current at April 30, 2009 and the related accrued interest of $36,190.

On July 28, 2008, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of NAE for 420,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement ("SPA").  Completion of the SPA resulted in the shareholders of NAE having control of NAEY.

The SPA provided that NAEY was to have $1,500,000 in cash and no liabilities at closing.  At July 28, 2008, the closing date, NAEY had $150,000 of the required cash and on August 28, 2008, the parties to the SPA entered into a Modification Agreement ("MA") which provided an extension until January 27, 2009 for the additional cash to be contributed to the Company.  At January 27, 2009, the Company had received an additional $50,000 and was still short $1,300,000 of the agreed amount.  The MA provided that the Buyer would make contingent issuances of shares to the Seller equal to 95% of all the outstanding stock after issuance.  Accordingly, effective April 30, 2009, an additional 13,250,381 shares were issued to the Sellers.

We estimate that our total planned cash expenditures over the next twelve months will be approximately $120,000 for corporate overhead.  We expect to utilize excess funds, when available, to acquire additional acreage for future drilling operations and plan to issue our common stock for certain services when possible.

The Company had relied on receiving an additional $1,300,000 from the prior shareholders to fund its planned drilling and development program.  As discussed in Note 3, the prior shareholders decided to default on their agreement.  Accordingly, the Company will plan to meet its capital requirements for the next year with private placements of its common stock or advances from related parties.

In addition, the Company expects to sell the majority 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 limited additional up-front capital costs on existing properties.  This method of operation allows the company to participate in a larger number of prospects with a relatively low capital outlay.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

CASH USED IN OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash used in operating activities was $27,378 for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2010 and cash used in operations was $266,540 for the comparable 2009 period.  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 2009 period.  There was only very limited activity in the 2010 period.  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 $119,830 in cash from the acquisition of NAE by NAEN during the nine months ended January 31, 2009.  In addition, we incurred $95 and $38,275 in expenditures for oil and gas properties and equipment in 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The 2009 amount was primarily for costs for a salt water disposal well.  In 2009, we loaned a shareholder $8,519.

CASH FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

During 2009 we received $50,000 as the final shareholder contribution, discussed above, and repaid related party loans in the amount of $36,750.

GOING CONCERN

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining a replacement for 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 an as yet unknown source to provide sufficient funds to finance future operations until our revenues are adequate to fund our cost of operations.

ITEM 4T: 
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 240.13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of January 31, 2010.  Based on that review and evaluation, which included inquiries made to certain other consultants of the Company, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, are not effective, due to a lack of segregation of duties, in ensuring that information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including insuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)  Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation described above, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
