NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at March 31, 2017, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2016 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements included all of the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, C2R, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, and Jett Rink Oil, LLC, a Kansas Limited Liability Company. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
F- 5 |
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and financial instruments which mature within six months of the date of purchase.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all acquisition, exploration and development costs, including certain payroll, asset retirement costs, other internal costs, and interest incurred for the purpose of finding oil and natural gas reserves, are capitalized. Internal costs that are capitalized are directly attributable to acquisition, exploration and development activities and do not include costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Costs associated with production and general corporate activities are expensed in the period incurred. Proceeds from the sale of oil and natural gas properties are applied to reduce the capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties unless the sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves, in which case a gain or loss is recognized.
Capitalized costs associated with impaired properties and capitalized costs related to properties having proved reserves, plus the estimated future development costs, and asset retirement costs under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 410 “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” (FASB ASC 410), are amortized using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. Capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated amortization and deferred income taxes, are limited to the total of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves, discounted at ten percent, plus the cost of unevaluated properties. Under certain specific conditions, companies could elect to use subsequent prices for determining the estimated future net cash flows. The use of subsequent pricing is no longer allowed. There are many factors, including global events that may influence the production, processing, marketing and price of oil and natural gas. A reduction in the valuation of oil and natural gas properties resulting from declining prices or production could adversely impact depletion rates and capitalized cost limitations. Capitalized costs associated with properties that have not been evaluated through drilling or seismic analysis, including exploration wells in progress at March 31, 2017, are excluded from the unit-of-production amortization. Exclusions are adjusted annually based on drilling results and interpretative analysis.
Oil and Gas Properties (Continued)
Sales of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to the net full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized, unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. If it is determined that the relationship is significantly altered, the corresponding gain or loss will be recognized in the statements of operations.
Costs of oil and gas properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $-0- and $-0-, respectively, of depletion expense related to oil and gas production during the period.
Ceiling Test
In applying the full cost method, the Company performs an impairment test (ceiling test) at each reporting date, whereby the carrying value of property and equipment is compared to the value of its proved reserves discounted at a ten percent interest rate of future net revenues, based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the cost of properties not being amortized, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties included in costs being amortized, less the income tax effects related to book and tax basis differences of the properties.
F- 6 |
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from the sale of oil and natural gas are recognized when the product is delivered at a fixed or determinable price, title has transferred, and collectability is reasonably assured. For oil sales, this occurs when the customer takes delivery of oil from the operators’ storage tanks.
Loss per Share
The Company has adopted ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures, and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company had 1,200,000 potential dilutive shares of common stock as of March 31, 2017 that were excluded as their effect was anti-dilutive.
NOTE 4 – OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
On April 3, 2014, the Company signed an election to participate in the first of three wells with Toto Energy, LLC in Cowley County, Kansas. The Company will earn a 30 percent working interest and a 24.45 percent net royalty interest in the well. The Company capitalized $213,000 of cash payments made to commence operations development of the well.
On May 10, 2014, the Company signed an election to participate in the second of three wells with Toto Energy, LLC in Cowley County, Kansas. The Company will earn a 30 percent working interest and a 24.45 percent net royalty interest in the well. The Company capitalized $189,000 of cash payments made to commence operations development of the well.
On July 23, 2016 the Company received $58,684 from the operator of two of its oil and gas leases. The payment received represented a partial refund of the Company’s previous $404,837 in payments made to the operator pursuant to the terms of an Authorization for Expenditures (“AFE”) Agreement. The Company’s original payments under the AFE were capitalized to oil and gas properties in 2014. All capitalized costs pursuant to the AFE were fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2015. As the capitalized costs had been previously impaired, the $58,684 was recorded as a gain on property settlement for the period ended December 31, 2016.
Oil and gas properties are stated at cost. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, oil and gas properties, net consisted of the following:
March 31, 2017 | December 31, 2016 | |||||||
Unproved properties | $ | 470,377 | $ | 470,377 | ||||

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
On January 3, 2014, the Company received $600,000 in connection with a convertible note financing commitment, the terms of which call for the Company to receive three tranches of $200,000 each on a callable convertible note wherein the Company borrows the sum at five percent interest for one year and the investor can elect to continue to receive the interest on the note or have the Company issue the investor shares of common stock of the Company at $0.50 per share to retire the debt. The notes came due on December 12, 2014, and as of March 31, 2017 the notes were in default. At March 31, 2017 accrued interest on the notes totaled $97,013.
F- 7 |
NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY
On June 11, 2015 the Company borrowed $5,000 from a related-party entity. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the principal accrues interest at a rate of five percent per annum, is unsecured, and was due in full on June 11, 2016. Subsequent to the initial borrowing the Company borrowed an additional $57,500 from the same lender under the same terms. On July 25, 2016 the Company paid $40,000 against the outstanding principal of the notes. Accrued interest totaling $1,340 was forgiven at the time of payment, and recorded as additional paid-in capital. At March 31, 2017 the total outstanding principal balance due to the lender was $22,500, and aggregate accrued interest on the notes totaled $743.
On May 6, 2015 the Company borrowed $5,000 from an unrelated third-party entity. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the principal accrued interest at a rate of five percent per annum, was unsecured, and was due in full on May 6, 2016. On July 25, 2015 the note, inclusive of all unpaid principal and interest, was transferred to and assumed by a related party. On July 25, 2016 the Company repaid the full $5,000 principal balance due under the terms of the note. Accrued interest on the note totaling $305 was forgiven at the time of payment, and recorded as additional paid-in capital. As of March 31, the note principal and interest have been satisfied in full.
On March 7, 2016 the Company borrowed $10,000 from a related-party. Pursuant to the terms of the note the principal accrues interest at a rate of five percent per annum, is unsecured, and is due in full on May 6, 2017. On May 2, 2016 the Company borrowed an additional $4,000 under the same terms. On October 4, 2016 the Company borrowed an additional $25,000 under the same terms. On February 14, 2017 the Company borrowed an additional $5,000 under the same terms. At March 31, 2017 the aggregate principal balance of the notes totaled $44,000 and aggregate accrued interest on the notes totaled $1,359.
NOTE 7 – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The total future asset retirement obligation is estimated by management based on the Company’s net working interests in all wells and facilities, estimated costs to reclaim and abandon wells and facilities and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future periods. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 the Company estimated the undiscounted cash flows related to asset retirement obligation to total approximately $105,500. The actual costs to settle the obligation are expected to occur in approximately 25 years. Through March 31, 2017, the Company established an asset retirement obligation of $9,860 for the wells acquired by the Company, which was capitalized to the value of the oil and gas properties. The fair value of the liability at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is estimated to be $12,521 and $12,323, respectively, using a risk free rate of 9.31 percent and inflation rates between 3.87 and 4.81 percent. Total accretion expense on the asset retirement obligation was $198 and $188 for the nthree-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2017, respectively.
NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
The Company has 1,000,000 preferred shares authorized at a par value of $0.001 and 74,000,000 common shares authorized at par value of $0.001. As of March 31, 2017 the Company has 22,013 shares of preferred stock and 37,105,062 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
On July 29, 2016 the Company repaid in full the principal balance of multiple related-party notes payable. Pursuant to this transaction, the note holders agreed to forgive an aggregate of $1,645 in accrued interest related to the notes. The Company recorded this forgiveness as a credit to additional paid-in capital, as the note holders were related parties.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, the Company cancelled 20,000 shares of preferred stock, and 5,623,097 shares of common stock.
F- 8 |
NOTE 9 – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
During the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company became party to a legal action brought about by an unrelated third-party individual, wherein the plaintiff alleges the Company “participated and/or conspired in a scheme to disseminate spam emails” which were misleading in order to encourage individuals to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an artificial and/or inflated stock price.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This 10Q contains certain forward-looking statements and our future operating results could differ materially from those discussed herein. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligation to update any such factors or to announce publicly the results of any revisions of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.
Going Concern
The future of our company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the sale of products and services through our websites. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock, if necessary. Our auditors have included a going concern paragraph in their audit report dated April 17, 2017 included in our annual report on Form 10-K because uncertainties raise doubts about the Issuers ability to continue as a going concern.
Corporate Overview
Unless otherwise indicated, in this 10Q, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” “TGRO” refer to Tiger Oil and Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly UTEC, Inc.). Future plans include the exploration, development and production of oil and gas in the United States. Our current focus is to secure financing to increase our holdings and develop our current oil and gas assets over the next twelve months.
The Company through its acquisition of Jett Rink LLC owns interests in two oil and gas wells for approximately 50 acres located in Creek County, State of Oklahoma, together with any personal property and lease equipment located thereon. These two wells are shut-in and produce no revenue.
On April 9, 2014 we elected to partner with TOTO Energy LLC and drill our first well on the Cowley County leases. The Company paid $24,000 for a 30% WI in the Stalnaker lease and agreed to spend $239,000 for our share of drilling costs of the Stalnaker 17-1 well.
On May 10, 2014 we elected to partner with TOTO Energy LLC and drill our second well on the Cowley County leases. The Company holds a 30% WI in the DeFore lease and agreed to spend $189,000 for our share of drilling costs of the DeFore 19-1 well. This well was fracked and is producing oil and revenue to the Company, although due in part to low oil prices the DeFore well did not produce or earn revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Our current focus is to secure financing to increase our holdings and develop our current oil and gas assets over the next twelve months.
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016
Revenues
Revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017 were $-0-, compared to $-0- for the comparable period of 2016. This lack of revenues for both periods resulted primarily from conscious decision to slow oil and gas production due to low oil and gas prices. As oil prices increase the Company anticipates increased production and revenues will be derived from the DeFore well.
3 |
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $14,433 and 18,850, respectively. Of these operating expenses, professional fees totaled $1,500 and $10,503, respectively, general and administrative expenses totaled $7,363 and $8,159, respectively, lease operating expenses totaled $5,372 and $-0-, respectively, and accretion expense totaled $198 and $188, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Professional fees decreased during the current period primarily due to a decrease in legal fees relating to legal defense and subsequent negotiation of a legal settlement. Lease operating expenses increased while general and administrative expenses decreased during the current period, due primarily to the Company’s minimized oil and gas operations in the current period.
Other Income (Expenses)
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized interest expense in the amount of $8,186 and $8,011, respectively. Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in notes payable upon which interest accrues.

Net Loss
For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized a net loss in the amounts of $21,819 and $26,861, respectively. The slight decrease in net loss was largely the result of the decreased legal and professional fees, partially offset by increased lease operating expenses during the current period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2017, the Company had $652 in current assets, consisting of $452 in cash, and deposits of $200, compared to $472 in current assets at December 31, 2016, which consisted of cash of $272 and deposits of $200.

The Company estimates that it will require $400,000 to accomplish its short-term goal of bringing shut-in wells back into production and the company's sole source of liquidity to this point has been through the sale of common stock. Such funding that is required to maintain liquidity will come in the form of equity sales of common stock.
Cash used in operations totaled $4,820 and $24,672 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in cash used in operations results primarily from an decreased net loss for the period, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Cash provided by investing activities totaled $-0- and $-0-, respectively, and cash provided by financing activities totaled $5,000 and $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
