T-REX OIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2015
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization and History
T-Rex Oil, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Colorado on September 2, 2014. Rancher Energy Corp was incorporated in Nevada on February 2, 2004. Effective October 20, 2014, T-Rex Oil, Inc. and Rancher Energy Corp were merged under the laws of the State of Colorado and T-Rex Oil, Inc. became the surviving entity. Effective October 29, 2014, the Company authorized 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in addition to its common stock and completed a reverse split of its common stock, issued and outstanding, on a one (1) new share for three hundred fifty (350) old shares basis.
The Company is currently engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and if warranted, development of oil and gas prospects in the Rocky Mountain and Mid Continent regions. Prior to August 2014, the Company had minimal operations that were focused mainly on administrative activities, the identification of potential oil and gas prospects and one prospect participation in Colorado that was rescinded in June 2014.
On December 22, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Terex Energy Corporation ("Terex") pursuant to Exchange Agreements with the shareholders of Terex. Terex was incorporated in the State of Colorado in February 2014 and is headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Company issued 7,385,700 shares of its restricted common stock for 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Terex. The shares were exchanged on a one for one basis. As a result, Terex has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. T-Rex Oil, Inc. is the legal acquirer and Terex is the legal acquiree. However under accounting rules, since the Company is a public company, which had nominal activity, the acquisition is treated as a recapitalization of Terex. Therefore, Terex is the accounting acquirer in the transaction since Terex's shareholders and management gained control of T-Rex Oil, Inc. and T-Rex Oil, Inc. is the accounting acquiree. On August 19, 2014, prior to entering into the Exchange Agreements, Terex had purchased 371,004 shares from the Company. After such purchase, Terex owned approximately 52% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. As part of the December 22, 2014 transaction, Terex surrendered its ownership of the 371,004 shares of T-Rex Oil, Inc. common stock and as a result such shares have been canceled.
On February 24, 2015, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Western Interior Oil & Gas Corporation, a Wyoming private oil and natural gas company ("Western Interior") and the shareholders of Western Interior. Under the Share Exchange Agreement the Company exchanged 7,465,168 shares of its restricted common stock for 170,878 shares of the issued and outstanding common stock of Western Interior thereby owning 83% of Western Interior. The acquisition was closed on March 27, 2014 and became effective March 31, 2015. In addition, the Company agreed to appoint two nominees of Western Interior to the Company's Board of Directors at a future date. On March 31, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement whereby the Company assumed certain repurchase agreements between Schwaben Kapital GmbH, Western Interior and its dissident shareholders and as a result acquired the remaining 17% of Western Interior. As part of these agreements, the Company assumed certain promissory notes issued to the dissenting shareholders in the total amount of $1,770,047 that are secured by Western Interior assets. As a result, Western Interior has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
As a result of these acquisitions, the Company has interests in oil and gas properties that are discussed hereafter and intends to strive to be a low cost and effective producer of hydrocarbons and to develop the business model and corporate strategy as discussed herein. The Company is focused on the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas. Through acquisition the Company has acquired oil and natural gas properties located in the central and western United States, mainly the Rocky Mountain region. Our goal is to drill and produce oil and gas cost effectively, by concentrating our efforts in proven oil rich areas where we have in-house geologic and operating experience. The industry is going through major changes due to the drop in the global price of oil over the past 18 months. Due the size and scope of expenditures of many exploration and production companies, it is no longer feasible for them to operate and they are no longer able to service the debt that was incurred to fund these operations without raising additional capital or pledging additional assets. This and other related events have created opportunities to acquire quality production and leases at value pricing and operate them at a profit within the current pricing environment.

The Company's strategy that has grown in prominence and application with respect to petroleum is to use a development program approach. The Company describes its development plan approach as a set of techniques utilizing the injection of specific fluids such as: water, steam, natural gas, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and various chemicals and surfactants intended to increase the amount of oil that can ultimately be extracted from any oil field. Many oil exploration and production companies are using development program approaches to maximize the potential of old oil fields.
The Company's business operations are in the development and production of oil and gas including unconventional natural gas, in the Rocky Mountain region of the continental United States; specifically in the Rocky Mountain areas of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying statement of operations and the statement cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2014 include only the accounts of Terex Energy Corporation. The accompanying consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015 and the consolidated statement of operations and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2015 include the accounts of Terex Energy Corporation, T-Rex Oil, Inc. and Western Interior Oil and Gas Corporation. All intercompany balances have been eliminated during consolidation.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the fair value of assets and liabilities, oil and natural gas reserves, income taxes and the valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets, asset retirement obligations and contingencies.
Change in Accounting Principle
The Company disclosed in its unaudited financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30 2014 as filed in its Form 10Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2014 that it changed its method of accounting from the successful efforts to the full cost method of accounting for its oil and natural gas operations and, as such pursuant to ASC Topic 250 and ASC Topic 932 further disclosed there was no retroactive restatement of financial statements for the relative periods as there were no oil and natural gas capitalized costs or operations incurred to date by the Company.
However, as disclosed in the Company's filing of Form 8-K with the SEC on April 1, 2015, the Company acquired 83% of the outstanding common stock of Western Interiors Oil and Gas Corporation on March 28, 2015, effective March 31, 2015, in a stock for stock Exchange Agreement. As such, Western Interior is an oil and gas company that follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas operations.
Therefore, management believes it is in the best interest of the Company that, as a result of the acquisition of Western Interior, the Company changes the accounting for its oil and gas operations back to the successful efforts from the full cost method of accounting. As a result of this change in accounting principle, there was no change in the carrying amount of its oil and gas properties on its balance sheet at March 31, 2014 or in its statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2014.

T-REX OIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2015
(Unaudited)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and money market funds carried at cost which approximates fair value. The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), although such deposits are in excess of the insurance coverage. At June 30, 2015, the Company had $80,555 of cash deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's producing properties are primarily located in Wyoming and the oil and gas production is sold to various purchasers based on market index prices. The risk of non-payment by these purchasers is considered minimal and the Company does not generally obtain collateral for sales. The Company continually monitors the credit standing of the primary purchasers.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015, one purchaser accounted for 88% of total revenues.
Oil and Gas Producing Activities
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas activities. Under this method, the costs of productive exploratory wells, all development wells, related asset retirement obligation assets, and productive leases are capitalized and amortized, principally by field, on a units-of-production basis over the life of the remaining proved reserves. Exploration costs, including personnel costs, geological and geophysical expenses, and delay rentals for oil and gas leases are charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized, but charged to expense if and when the well is determined not to have found reserves in commercial quantities. The sale of a partial interest in a proved property is accounted for as a cost recovery, and no gain or loss is recognized as long as this treatment does not significantly affect the units-of-production amortization rate. A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of producing properties. There were capitalized costs of $10,281,659 and $10,003,625 at June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively.
Unproved oil and gas properties are assessed annually to determine whether they have been impaired by the drilling of dry holes on or near the related acreage or other circumstances, which may indicate a decline in value. When impairment occurs, a loss is recognized. When leases for unproved properties expire, the costs thereof, net of any related allowance for impairment, is removed from the accounts and charged to expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there was no impairment to unproved properties. The sale of a partial interest in an unproved property is accounted for as a recovery of cost when substantial uncertainty exists as to the ultimate recovery of the cost applicable to the interest retained. A gain on the sale is recognized to the extent that the sales price exceeds the carrying amount of the unproved property. A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of unproved properties. There were capitalized costs of $7,843,176 and $8,087,991 at June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively.
Costs associated with development wells that are unevaluated or are waiting on access to transportation or processing facilities are reclassified into developmental wells-in-progress ("WIP"). These costs are not put into a depletable field basis until the wells are fully evaluated or access is gained to transportation and processing facilities. Costs associated with WIP are included in the cash flows from investing as part of investment in oil and gas properties. Capitalized developmental costs were included in WIP in the amount of $52,706 and $0 at June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of proved oil and gas properties is calculated using the units-of-production method based on proved reserves and estimated salvage values. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense on oil and gas properties were recorded in the amount of $127,046 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The Company reviews its proved oil and natural gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that a decline in the recoverability of its carrying value may have occurred. It estimates the undiscounted future net cash flows of its oil and natural gas properties and compares such undiscounted future
-8-
T-REX OIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2015
(Unaudited)
cash flows to the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas properties to determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the Company will adjust the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas properties to fair value. There was no impairment to proved properties for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Other Property and Equipment
Other property and equipment, such as computer hardware and software, are recorded at cost. Costs of renewals and improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred. When other property and equipment is sold or retired, the capitalized costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts. Depreciation expense of other property and equipment for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $9,594 and $544, respectively.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company records estimated future asset retirement obligations ("ARO") related to its oil and gas properties. The Company records the estimated fair value of a liability for ARO in the period in which it is incurred with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The increased carrying value is depleted using the units-of-production method, and the discounted liability is increased through accretion over the remaining life of the respective oil and gas properties.
The estimated liability is based on historical industry experience in abandoning wells, including estimated economic lives, external estimates as to the cost to abandon the wells in the future, and federal and state regulatory requirements. The Company's liability is discounted using management's best estimate of its credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in estimated abandonment costs, changes in well economic lives, or if federal or state regulators enact new requirements regarding the abandonment of wells.
A reconciliation of the changes in the Company's liability is as follows:

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, as set forth in Topic 360 of the ASC, 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 assets.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes oil revenues when production is sold to a purchaser, delivery occurs and title is transferred. The Company recognizes natural gas revenues when the title and risk pass to the purchaser. The Company records its share of revenues based on its share of proceeds. The Company sells the majority of its products soon after production at various locations, including the wellhead, at which time title and risk of loss pass to the buyer. The Company had no revenue from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Other Comprehensive Loss
The Company has no material components of other comprehensive loss and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss for the period.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the accounting bases and the tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The Company assessed the likelihood of utilization of the deferred tax asset, in light of the recent losses. Also, the Company records a valuation allowance against any portion of those deferred income tax assets when it believes, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized, As a result of this analysis, the deferred tax asset in the amount of $1,504,000 has been fully reserved at June 30, 2015.
On August 19, 2014, Terex Energy Corporation acquired 52% of the outstanding common stock of T-Rex Oil Inc. and thus T-Rex had a change of control event under IRC section 382, which will limit T-Rex's ability to utilize its deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, to offset future taxable income. T-Rex has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $42,000,000 which will begin to expire in 2024.
On December 22, 2014, T-Rex acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Terex and Terex did not have a change of control event under IRS Section 382. Terex has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $425,000 which will begin to expire in 2034.
The Company has material operations in the state of Wyoming, however, Wyoming does not impose a corporate income tax. The tax years that remain open to examination by the IRS are 2011 through 2014. Due to the Company's net operating loss carryforward, the IRS may also examine and adjust the amount of loss realizable from these carryforwards back to 2006.
The Company has adopted ASC guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements and applies to all income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the consolidated financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement. At June 30, 2015, there were no uncertain tax positions that required accrual.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per common share of stock is calculated by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period.
Diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, including the effect of other dilutive securities. The Company's potentially dilutive securities consist of in-the-money outstanding options and warrants to purchase the Company's common stock. Diluted net loss per common share does not give effect to dilutive securities as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Equity Based Payments
The Company recognizes compensation cost for equity based awards based on estimated fair value of the award and records capitalized cost or compensation expense over the requisite service period. See Note 7 - Equity Based Payments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As part of its ongoing business, the Company has not participated in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (SPEs), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. From its incorporation on February 11, 2014 through June 30, 2015, the Company has not been involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic915) - Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. This standard update is to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements for development stage entities, and as a result removes all incremental financial reporting requirements. This standard update also eliminates 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 the investment equity that is at risk. ASU 2014-10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Entities are allowed to apply the guidance early for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity's financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted these standards and they did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued Update No. 2014-15 - Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern that requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the entity's financial statements are issued, or within one year after the date that the entity's financial statements are available to be issued, and to provide disclosures when certain criteria are met. This guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing its impact, but does not currently believe it will have a material effect on the Company's financial statements or disclosures.
There were other accounting standards and interpretations issued during the three months ended June 30, 2015, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flows.

Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates events and transactions after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued.
Note 3 - Going Concern and Managements' Plan
The Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2015 has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company reported a net loss of $690,953 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and an accumulated deficit of $11,747,925 at June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,910,015.
The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to attract additional capital and ultimately, upon its ability to develop future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such financing, or that it will attain positive cash flow from operations. Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise the Company's operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Note 7 - Equity Based Payments
The Company accounts for equity based payment accruals under authoritative guidance as set forth in the Topics of the ASC. The guidance requires all equity based payments to employees and non-employees, including grants of employee and non-employee stock options and warrants, to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based at their fair values.
The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the option and warrant fair values. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the stock price at the valuation date that ranged from $0.01 to $3.50 per share as well as the following assumptions:
Volatility 88.553%
Expected Option/Warrant Term 3 years
Risk-free interest rate .12% - .25%
Expected dividend yield 0.00%
The expected term of the options and warrants granted were estimated to be the contractual term. The expected volatility was based on an average of the volatility disclosed based upon comparable companies who had similar expected option and warrant terms. The risk-free rate was based on the one-year U.S. Treasury bond rate.
2014 Stock Incentive Plan
Effective October 1, 2014, the Company's 2014 Stock Option and Award Plan (the "2014 Stock Incentive Plan") was approved by its Board of Directors. Under the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, the Board of Directors may grant options or purchase rights to purchase common stock to officers, employees, and other persons who provide services to the Company or any related company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this document to "T-Rex Oil", "we", "our", "us" or the "Company" are to T-Rex Oil, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
We are an energy company, focused on the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas. We have acquired oil and natural gas properties located in the western United States, mainly in the Rocky Mountain region. Our goal is to drill and produce oil and gas cost effectively, by concentrating our efforts in proven oil rich areas where we have in-house geologic and operating experience.
Prior to August 2014, we had minimal operations that were focused mainly on administrative activities, the identification of potential oil and gas prospects, and one prospect participation in Colorado that was rescinded in June 2014.
Our approach is to acquire Proven Developed Producing properties. The ideal candidate will also include Proven Undeveloped well sites, which should supply upside development potential ("running room.") Specifically, properties that have the advantage of having established producing oil and/or natural gas wells that have drillable offset locations and have wells that may be shut-in but are candidates for re-working or re-completion, are high priority acquisition targets.
Our acquisition strategy includes taking older wells that are shut in or have lower production results and applies new and existing technologies to work-over and/or recomplete so as to increase production and ultimate recovery. Technologies to be deployed include 3-D seismic imaging to target undeveloped areas of the reservoir that contain remaining primary reserves; horizontal drilling to increase recoveries; as well as secondary and tertiary recovery methods to increase produced reserves.
In line with that strategy on March 28, 2015, we closed on the acquisition of Western Interior Oil & Gas Corp ("Western Interior"), as our wholly-owned subsidiary. Western Interior has producing and developmental oil and gas properties in southwest central Wyoming.
During the remainder of 2015, management intends to focus efforts on not only the exploration of existing properties, but also additional acquisitions to grow production.
-17-
Financing Efforts
On April 26, 2015, we entered into a Subscription Agreement for the purchase of shares of its restricted common stock pursuant to Regulation S. As of August 10, 2015, we have received $1,200,000 in funds and are obligated to issue 558,140shares of its restricted common stock. The Company intends to use such funds to support ongoing operations.
We will require substantial additional capital to support our existing and proposed future operations. We have only during the second calendar quarter of 2015, started realizing reoccurring and consistent revenue, although insufficient to fully support current operations. We have no committed source for any additional funds as of the date hereof. No representation is made that any funds will be available when needed. In the event funds cannot be raised when needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan, may never achieve sales or royalty income, and could fail in business as a result of these uncertainties.
Decisions regarding future prospect acquisitions or other participation activities will be made on a case-by-case basis. We may, in any particular case, decide to participate or decline participation. If participating, we may pay our proportionate share of costs to maintain our proportionate interest through cash flow or debt or equity financing. If participation is declined, we may elect to farmout, non-consent, sell or otherwise negotiate a method of cost sharing in order to maintain some continuing interest in the prospect.
Results of Operations
Results of Operations For The Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Compared To The Three Months Ended June 30, 2014
Overview. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized a net loss of $690,953 compared to a net loss of $325,642 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase of $365,311 is a result of the increase in operational activities and the acquisition of Western Interior. Discussions of individually significant line items follow:
Revenues: During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized revenues of $163,911. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company did not recognize revenues from its oil and gas operational activities. During the three months ended June 30, 2105, the Company sold approximately 3,921 barrels of oil at an average price of $41.80 per barrel during the period. Management expects to see increases in its productions numbers as work on producing wells continues.
Operating Expenses: During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company had an increase of $473,354 in total operating expenses. The increase was a result of the Company's increased operational activity and its acquisition of Western Interior.
General and administrative expenses increased from $259,911 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $615,780 during the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase of $355,869, was a result of increases in the Company's audit and legal fees during the period as a result of the Western Interior acquisition, along with increases in compensation.
The Company did recognize a decrease of $105,809 in exploration expenses as a result of focusing efforts on existing producing wells, rather than new drilling activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have incurred a net loss of $690,953 and have had a limited operating history.
On April 26, 2015, we entered into a Subscription Agreement for the purchase of shares of its restricted common stock pursuant to Regulation S. As of August 10, 2015, we have received $1,200,000 in funds, in exchange for 558,140 shares of our restricted common stock. The Company intends to use such funds to support ongoing operations.
-18-
The Company will need substantial additional capital to support its proposed future energy operations. We have only begun to recognize revenues in this quarter and they are not sufficient to support operations. The Company has no committed source for any funds but as of June 30, 2015, we have $777,420 in cash. No representation is made that any funds will be available when needed. In the event funds cannot be raised when needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan or may never achieve sales sufficient to support our operations.
Decisions regarding future participation in oil and gas development or geophysical studies or other activities will be made on a case-by-case basis. We may, in any particular case, decide to participate or decline participation. If participating, we may pay our proportionate share of costs to maintain our proportionate interest through cash flow or debt or equity financing. If participation is declined, we may elect to farmout, non-consent, sell or otherwise negotiate a method of cost sharing in order to maintain some continuing interest in the prospect.
The Company used cash flows in operations of $515,050 during the three months ended June 30, 2015 that was adjusted by non-cash items including: depreciation and amortization of $144,648, and equity based compensation of $21,373.
The Company used cash flows in investing activities of $29,651 during the three months ended June 30, 2015 that was primarily comprised of: additions to oil and gas properties of $123,877, loan to affiliate, net of repayments of $25,000, proceeds from the sale of mineral interest of $30,000 and additions to other assets of $39,226.
The Company was provided cash flows from financing activities of $685,579 during the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $662,500 from the sale of restricted common stock and $23,079 from proceeds of notes payable.
Promissory Notes
The Company at June 30, 2015 owed five promissory notes in the amount of $1,598,417 as part of agreements relative to the repurchase of 33,085 shares of Western Interior common stock owned by dissident shareholders and these notes are collateralized by certain oil and properties of Western Interior.
On August 1, 2015, the Company and one of the note holders relative to the purchase by the Company of certain Western Interior shares of common stock on March 31, 2015 entered into an agreement to settle the amount owed under their promissory note. As such, the parties agreed the amount owed on such promissory note by the Company shall be reduced from $768,175 to $393,795 and the difference of $374,380 is considered a reduction in the purchase price of the Western Interior common stock paid by the Company. In addition, the parties agreed the $393,795 shall be paid in full effective August 1, 2015 by the transfer to the note holder of certain oil and gas properties owned by Western Interior.
Line-of-Credit

The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We identified multiple material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and, as a result of this material weakness, we concluded as of June 30, 2015, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Internal Control-Integrated Framework
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of June 30, 2015 and as determined in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, the Company identified the following material weakness:
The Company did not adequately segregate the duties of different personnel within our accounting department due to an insufficient complement of staff and inadequate management oversight.
We have limited accounting personnel with sufficient expertise in generally accepted accounting principles to enable effective segregation of duties with respect to recording journal entries and to allow for appropriate monitoring of financial reporting matters and internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, the Acting Chief Accounting Officer has involvement in the creation and review of journal entries and note disclosures without adequate independent review and authorization. This control deficiency is pervasive in nature and impacts all significant accounts. This control deficiency also affects the financial reporting process including financial statement preparation and the related note disclosures. Other significant control deficiencies at this time are lack of independent review and approval of journal entries before they are entered into the general ledger, not effectively implementing comprehensive entity-level controls, and the Company has not implemented procedures for timely review and approval of bank reconciliations.
As a result of the aforementioned material weakness, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015 was not effective.
