(Unaudited)

Note 1: Organization and summary of significant accounting policies

Organization

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of North American Energy Resources, Inc. (“NAER”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, North American Exploration, Inc. (“NAE”) (collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 consolidated 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, 2014, which is included in the Company’s Form 10-K dated April 30, 2014. The financial data for the interim periods presented may not necessarily reflect the results to be anticipated for the complete year.

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 which includes the drilling, completion and operation of oil and gas wells. The Company has an interest in a pipeline in Oklahoma which is currently shut-in, but has been used to gather natural gas production. The Company has a non-operated interest in a gas well in Texas County, Oklahoma and is continuing to seek additional acquisition possibilities.

On December 15, 2010, the Company introduced a new Executive Team. Clinton W. Coldren became the new Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Alan G. Massara became Director, President and Chief Financial Officer. Effective August 6, 2014, Mr. Massara resigned his officer positions with the Company and Mr. Coldren was appointed President and Chief Financial Officer. The new Executive Team is actively reviewing opportunities to acquire additional oil and gas production, development and exploration properties. The initial focus is on properties that are currently producing, but which contain upside drilling and workover potential. If successful, any acquisition will require significant new external financings which could materially change the existing capital structure of the Company. There can be no guarantee that the Company will successfully conclude an acquisition.

Recent adopted and pending accounting pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. The amendments in this Update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer in a development stage that in prior years it had been in the development stage.

The amendments also clarify that the guidance in Topic 275, Risks and Uncertainties, is applicable to entities that have not commenced planned principal operations. Finally, the amendments remove paragraph 810-10-15-16. Paragraph 810-10-15-16 states that a development stage entity does not meet the condition in paragraph 810-10-15-14(a) to be a variable interest entity if (1) the entity can demonstrate that the equity invested in the legal entity is sufficient to permit it to finance the activities that it is currently engaged in and (2) the entity’s governing documents and contractual arrangements allow additional equity investments. The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The amendments to eliminate that exception simplify GAAP by reducing avoidable complexity in existing accounting literature and improve the relevance of information provided to financial statement users by requiring the application of the same consolidation guidance by all reporting entities. The elimination of the exception may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a reporting entity that has an interest in an entity in the development stage. The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively. For public business entities, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-10 effective July 31, 2014.

We have evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) through September 1, 2014 and find no others that would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

Note 2: GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has negative working capital of $909,501 as of July 31, 2014 and has generated losses since inception. The Company currently has limited liquidity, and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time.

Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.

The Company invested in its first non-operated gas well in October 2010 and plans to continue this course as funds become available. The Company has limited business activities which are not capable of supporting current operating requirements.

Over an extended period of time these conditions, among others have raised 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.

Note 3: related party transactions

Accounts payable - related parties includes the following expense reimbursements due to related parties at July 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014. Amounts due include reimbursements for travel, legal and cash advances for payment of other administrative expenses. Amounts owed as of April 30, 2014 were transferred into convertible notes payable on July 1, 2014, Note 4.

Effective June 15, 2011, the Board of Directors approved compensation to begin accruing at the rate of $10,000 per month for each of the two listed executive officers. At October 31, 2011, accrued expenses included $90,000 accrued for compensation. Beginning effective November 1, 2011, the compensation rate for Mr. Coldren increased to $20,833 per month and for Mr. Massara increased to $18,750 per month. Both agreed to discontinue accruing their salary effective January 31, 2012 until conditions improve.

Accrued expenses include the following:

See convertible notes payable, Note 4, for convertible notes payable due related parties.

Note 4: CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

Convertible notes payable consist of the following at July 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014.

The value of the conversion feature for the Convertible Notes either issued or extended on July 1, 2014 was calculated using the Black – Scholes valuation method with an annual volatility of 75%, no dividends and a risk free interest rate of 0.88%. The amount calculated, $54,677, is being amortized over the ten-month life of the notes to interest expense with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital.

Note 5: Stockholder’s equity

PREFERRED STOCK

The Company has 100,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value preferred stock authorized. At July 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014 the Company had no shares issued and outstanding.

COMMON STOCK

The Company has 100,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock authorized. At July 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014 the Company had 21,554,945 shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

WARRANTS

As a part of their initial compensation, the Executive Team was granted Warrants with the following primary terms and conditions. The strike price exceeded the market price when the Warrants were granted.

a) Each Warrant shall entitle the owner to purchase one share of common stock of the Company. The warrants will contain price protection should shares be used for an acquisition at a price lower than the conversion price in force. The anti-dilution provision will not apply to financings done below the strike price.

b) The Executive Team is granted three Warrant Certificates as follows:

c) Other warrant terms are as follows:

The Board of Directors issued a warrant to acquire 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.18 per share to its new director, Larry D. Hall, on November 10, 2011. The strike price exceeded the market price when the warrants were granted.

Item 2: 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.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2014 AND 2013

Revenues during the three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 consisted of the following:

Costs and expenses during the three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

Other general and administrative expense decreased in the current year period from $19,132 in 2013 to $12,241 in 2014, primarily due to a decrease in accounting and auditing costs of $4,580.

Other expense during the three months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

The increase in interest expense is the result of the amortization of the value of the conversion feature for the convertible notes payable in the amount of $5,468 in the 2014 period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historical information

At July 31, 2014, we had $1761 in cash, $182 in accounts receivable and a working capital deficit of $909,501. Comparatively, we had cash of $322, accounts receivable of $367 and a working capital deficit of $888,536 at April 30, 2014.

Evaluation of the amounts and certainty of cash flows

Our current cash flow is nominal and insufficient to pay current expenses. We continue to seek other acquisition possibilities, which will require some form of debt and equity financing.

Cash requirements and capital expenditures

We have made arrangement with our CEO to loan us up to $500,000 to meet the initial operating expenses during the due diligence phase of a potential acquisition. The loan was fully funded in March 2014. Our CEO has continued to advance funds to meet continuing operating costs. If a potential acquisition is identified additional capital may be required to be raised in the form of equity or debt.

Known trends and uncertainties

The Company is in a very competitive business. The economy has been very uncertain over the past several years and may make it very difficult to raise the capital required to complete any asset purchase agreement.

Expected changes in the mix and relative cost of capital resources

The Company is now seeking another acquisition candidate. If identified, the initial phase for the Company will be due diligence and raising the purchase price for the acquisition. In order to take advantage of any undeveloped properties, the Company may require additional financing to continue development plans. The actual amounts required and the timing of the requirements, if any, has not been determined.

What balance sheet, income or cash flow items should be considered in assessing liquidity

We will seek funding to finance due diligence and the cost of an as yet unidentified acquisition, which may require significant new external financing and which may materially change the existing capital structure of the Company.

Our prospective sources for and uses of cash

Our current significant issue is identifying a new acquisition candidate, financing the due diligence and raising the funds to complete the acquisition. If successful, the Company expects to use a combination of debt and equity financing.

CASH USED IN OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash used in operating activities was $3,129 for the three-month period ended July 31, 2014 and cash used in operations was $4,638 for the comparable 2013 period.

CASH PROVIDED BY FINANCING ACTIVITIES

We incurred no capital costs in the three-month periods ended July 31, 2014 and 2013.

GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company commenced operations in September 2006.

At July 31, 2014 and April 30, 2014 the Company had a working capital deficit of $909,501 and $888,536, respectively. At July 31, 2014, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $3,772,842 which includes a loss of $26,463 during the three months ended July 31, 2014. Beginning in November 2011, the Company’s CEO loaned the Company funds for due diligence and operating expenses pursuant to a Convertible Bridge Loan Note approved by the Board of Directors and executed on November 3, 2011. The majority of these expenses were incurred while attempting to complete an oil and gas property acquisition. The acquisition agreement was terminated in December 2011 and the acquisition was not completed. At July 31, 2014, the Company’s CEO had loaned the Company $507,655 in Convertible Notes, which are due April 30, 2015.

The Company invested in its first non-operated gas well in October 2010 and plans to continue this course as funds become available. The Company has limited business activities which are not capable of supporting current operating requirements.

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.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

None.

Item 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Under the PCAOB standards, a control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit the attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or 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.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of July 31, 2014. Our management has determined that, as of July 31, 2014, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls during the quarter ended July 31, 2014, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
