EXPLANATORY
NOTE
Universal
Energy Corp. is filing this Amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the period ended September 30, 2008 (the “Quarterly Report”) to correct certain
disclosure errors identified during a regulatory review of the Company’s
financial statements and reflects certain corresponding changes described
below. There was no effect on revenue, cash provided by financing
activities, cash used in operating or investing activities as a result of these
errors.
For the
convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the original Form 10-Q in
its entirety. However, this Form 10-Q/A only amends disclosures to correct the
certifications pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(a) and 15d-14(a), certain
typographical errors within the body of the Quarterly Report and in the notes to
our financial statements.
This
Amendment does not reflect events that have occurred after the filing date of
the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that the Company originally filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2008, or modify or update the
disclosures presented in the original Form 10-Q, except to reflect the
corrections described above. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A should be read
in conjunction with our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
subsequent to the filing of the original Form 10-Q.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements (unaudited)
September 30,
2008
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
Reporting
Entity.
Universal Energy Corp. and Subsidiaries (“Universal” or the “Company”) were
incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 4, 2002, January 24, 2002 and
February 26, 2007, respectively. The Company is authorized to issue
6,500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001. The Company’s office is
located in Lake Mary, Florida. Universal Energy Corp. is an independent energy
company engaged in the acquisition and development of crude oil and natural gas
leases in the United States.
Principles of Consolidation.
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 30,
2008 and 2007, include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries UT
Holdings, Inc. and Universal Explorations Corp., both Delaware corporations. All
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
The
accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by Universal Energy Corp. (the “Company”) without audit, pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission for
Form 10-Q. 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 omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited
consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
operating results for the interim period. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year. The unaudited
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation, for the
year ended December 31, 2007, contained in the Company’s December 31, 2007
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
The
Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced net losses
since January 4, 2002 (date of inception), which losses have caused an
accumulated deficit of approximately $15,805,300 as of September 30, 2008. These
factors, among others, could raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern.
Management
has been able, thus far, to finance the losses, as well as the growth of the
business, mostly through private placements of our common stock and various debt
financings. The Company is continuing to increase revenues by continuing the
development of its oil and gas prospects in Texas and Louisiana.
In view
of these conditions, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing or capital sources, to
meet its operating requirements, debt obligations, and ultimately to achieve
profitable operations. Management believes that its current and future plans
provide an opportunity to continue as a going concern. However, there can be no
assurance that management will achieve its plans. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event the Company
cannot continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of
Estimates.
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Reclassifications.
Certain
prior periods’ balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year
consolidated financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no
impact on previously reported consolidated results of operations or
stockholders’ deficit.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents.
The
Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or
less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit
Risk.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places
its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial
institutions.
Accounts
Receivable.
We
have receivables for sales of oil, gas and natural gas liquids. Management has
established an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is evaluated by
management and is based on management’s periodic review of the collectability of
the receivables in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the
receivables, and other subjective factors.
Full Cost
Method.
The
Company utilizes the full-cost method of accounting for petroleum and natural
gas properties. Under this method, the Company capitalizes all costs associated
with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves,
including leasehold acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures,
lease rentals on undeveloped properties, interest and costs of drilling of
productive and non-productive wells into the full cost pool. When the Company
obtains proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated
future costs to develop the reserves proved and estimated abandonment costs, net
of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates
of proved reserves. The costs of unproved properties are not amortized until it
is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties.
Until such determination is made, the Company assesses quarterly whether
impairment has occurred, and includes in the amortization base drilling
exploratory dry holes associated with unproved properties.
All items
classified as unproved property are assessed on a quarterly basis for possible
impairment or reduction in value. Properties are assessed on an individual basis
or as a group if properties are individually insignificant. The assessment
includes consideration of the following factors, among others: intent to drill;
remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results
and activity; the assignment of proved reserves; and the economic viability of
development if proved reserves are assigned. During any period in which these
factors indicate an impairment, the cumulative drilling costs incurred to date
for such property and all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are
transferred to the full cost pool and are then subject to amortization.
Debt Issue
Costs
. In
accordance with the Accounting Principles Board Opinion 21 “Interest on
Receivables and Payables”, the Company recognizes debt issue costs on the
balance sheet as deferred charges, and amortizes the balance over the term of
the related debt. The Company follows the guidance in the EITF 95-13
“Classification of Debt Issue Costs in the Statement of Cash Flows” and
classifies cash payments for debt issue costs as a financing
activity.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
Valuation of
Derivative Instruments
. FAS 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" requires bifurcation of embedded
derivative instruments and measurement of fair value for accounting purposes. In
determining the appropriate fair value, the Company used a Black Scholes model.
Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end,
with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of
operations as Change in Fair Value of Derivatives. The effects of interactions
between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the
overall fair value of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair values of
freestanding derivative instruments such as warrant derivatives are valued using
Black Scholes models.
Revenue
Recognition
.
The
Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of produced natural gas and
crude oil. The Company reports revenue as the gross amount received before
taking into account royalties, production taxes and transportation costs, which
are reported as separate expenses. Revenue is recorded in the month the
Company’s production is delivered to the purchaser, but payment is generally
received between 30 and 90 days after the date of production. No revenue
is recognized unless it is determined that title to the product has transferred
to a purchaser. At the end of each month, the Company estimates the amount
of production delivered to the purchaser and the price the Company will
receive. The Company uses its knowledge of its properties, their
historical performance, the anticipated effect of weather conditions during the
month of production, New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) and local spot
market prices, and other factors as the basis for these estimates.
Stock Based
Compensation.
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based
Payment,” which requires the Company to record as an expense in its financial
statements the fair value of all stock-based compensation awards. The Company
currently utilizes a standard option pricing model (i.e., Black-Scholes) to
measure the fair value of stock options granted to employees using the “modified
prospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost
is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date,
based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for all share-based payments
granted after that date, and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for
all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R).
Income
Taxes.
The
Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. This
approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enacted date. The Company has net operating loss
carryforwards that may be offset against future taxable income. Due to the
uncertainty regarding the success of future operations, management has valued
the deferred tax asset allowance at 100% of the related deferred tax assets. The
Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows were not
impacted by the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertain Tax Positions.”
The
Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of FIN
48. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax
benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit as of the
date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties
as a result of the implementation of FIN 48.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED
Income (Loss) per
Share.
The
Company utilizes Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128,
“Earnings Per Share.” Statement No. 128 requires the presentation of basic and
diluted loss per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic income
(loss) per share has been calculated using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. For the periods ending September 30, 2008
and September 30, 2007, 4,837,939,672 shares were excluded from the diluted loss
per share computation since their effect is anti-dilutive.
Sequencing
Approach.
Under the
guidance of EITF 00-19 requiring identification and evaluation of
contracts that are settled in a potentially unlimited number of shares
which could affect the classification of previously issued
instruments, we use the sequencing approach based on earliest issuance date for
determination of continued qualification of pre-existing contracts for equity
treatment. Substantial modifications are of existing instruments are
treated as new issuances for the sequencing approach.
Fair Value
Instruments.
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value for
certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance applies to other
accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. On
February 12, 2008, the FASB finalized FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2,
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This Staff Position delays the
effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities to fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal
years, except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption
of SFAS No. 157 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position
or results of operations.
The
Company partially adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, delaying application
for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities as permitted. This
statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to
measure fair value into three levels as follows:
|
·
|
Level
1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the
measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1
inputs include active exchange-traded securities and exchange-based
derivatives.
|
|
·
|
Level
2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable
through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and
liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities,
non-exchange-based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value
hedges.
|
|
·
|
Level
3 — unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is
little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the
measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3
inputs include infrequently-traded, non-exchange-based derivatives and
commingled investment funds, and are measured using present value pricing
models.
|
In
accordance with SFAS 157, the Company determines the level in the fair value
hierarchy within which each fair value measurement in its entirety falls, based
on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in
its entirety.
The
following table presents derivative liabilities, the Company’s only financial
assets measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance
Sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy
during the three months ended September 30, 2008:

that is based on changes in the volatility of our shares, our stock price, the
probability of a reduction in exercise and conversion price, and the time to
conversion of the related financial instruments. See Note 7, Note 8 and Note 9
for more information on the valuation methods used.
Recently Issued Accounting
Standards
In
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States. SFAS No. 162 will
be effective 60 days after the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (“PCAOB’s”) amendments to AU Section 411. We do not expect
the adoption of SFAS No. 162 to have an impact on our consolidated
financial statements.

Under
full cost accounting, total capitalized costs of natural gas and oil properties
(net of accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization) less related
deferred income taxes may not exceed an amount equal to the present value of
future net revenues from proved reserves, discounted at 10% per annum, plus the
lower of cost or fair value of unevaluated properties, plus estimated salvage
value, less income tax effects (the “ceiling limitation”). A ceiling limitation
calculation is performed at the end of each quarter. If total capitalized costs
(net of accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization) less related
deferred taxes are greater than the ceiling limitation, a write-down or
impairment of the full cost pool is required. A write-down of the carrying value
of the full cost pool is a non-cash charge that reduces earnings and impacts
stockholders’ deficiency in the period of occurrence and typically results in
lower depreciation, depletion and amortization expense in future periods. Once
incurred, a write-down is not reversible at a later date.
At
September 30, 2008, all of the Company’s oil and gas properties are unproven and
are located in Louisiana and Texas. In accordance with SFAS 143, asset
retirement obligations associated with producing wells will be accrued over the
life of the well.

August 2008, the Company’s four producing wells in Louisiana (Caviar #1, Caviar
#4, Amberjack and Lake Campo) were shut-in due as ordered by the State of
Louisiana for storm preparations. Production facilities at all four wells were
damaged during the hurricane. Caviar #1, Caviar #4 and Amberjack were returned
into production in late October 2008. When Lake Campo was returned to
production, excessive water production created disposal well capacity problems
and was shut-in after a few days. A workover on Lake Campo will be performed in
November 2008 to perforate the Tex W-5 sand to attempt to return the well to
production.
NOTE 5 – PROMISSORY
NOTES
Promissory Note with Stockholder -
$250,000
. On June
12, 2007, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of
$250,000 to a stockholder. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance
from and after June 12, 2007 at a rate of 11 percent per annum. Interest shall
be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, and shall be charged on the
principal outstanding from time to time for the actual number of days elapsed.
The Company shall pay the Holder all accrued interest and the outstanding
principal on the maturity date. The maturity date of the note was December 12,
2007. The conversion feature which was in effect during the time this loan was
outstanding, allows the note holder to convert outstanding principal and
interest into common stock. The conversion price was subject to the pricing of
certain stock offerings. During July 2008, the note holders converted $250,000
of principal balance of their note into 21,551,724 shares of common stock under
the same terms as the September 2007 Debenture financing.

Promissory Notes -
$750,000
. On or
about June 12, 2007, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes in the
aggregate amount of $750,000 to certain investors. Interest accrues on the
outstanding principal balance from and after June 12, 2007 at a rate of 11
percent per annum. Interest is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, and is
charged on the principal outstanding from time to time for the actual number of
days elapsed. The Company was required to pay the Holder all accrued interest
and the outstanding principal on the maturity date of December 12, 2007.
The
conversion feature which was in effect during the time the loan is outstanding,
allowed the note holder to convert outstanding principal and interest into
common stock. The conversion price was subject to the pricing of certain stock
offerings. During the nine months ended September 2008, the note holders
converted $750,000 of principal balance of their note during into 55,484,046
shares of common stock under the same terms as the September 2007 Debenture
financing. Note 6.
On
January 9, 2008, we repaid $125,000 principal balance and $7,993 of accrued
interest to one investor.
Contemporaneous
with the issuance of the promissory notes, a total of 750,000 warrants were
issued at an exercise price of $1.25. The warrants vested immediately and have a
5 year term from the date of the promissory note. If at any time after one year
from the Initial Exercise Date there is no effective registration statement
(“Registration Statement”) registering, or no current prospectus available for,
the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be
exercised at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder
shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares
equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where (A) = the
Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) on the Trading Day immediately preceding
the date of such election; (B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as
adjusted; and (X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means of a cash exercise
rather than a cashless exercise.
The fair
value of the warrants issued was estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 5.13%; no dividend yields; volatility
factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 23.12%; an estimated
forfeiture rate of 15%; and an expected life of the warrants of 5 years.
This generates a price of $0.39 per warrant based on a strike price of $1.25 at
the date of grant, which was June 12, 2007. As a result, approximately
$187,500 of discount on promissory notes and additional paid-in capital was
recorded during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007 relating to the
issuance of the warrants.
Promissory Note -
$200,000
. On
October 4, 2007, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount
of $200,000 to Billy Raley, the Company’s CEO and Director. Interest accrued on
the outstanding principal balance from and after October 4, 2007 at a rate of 11
percent per annum. Interest was calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, and
was charged on the principal outstanding from time to time for the actual number
of days elapsed. The Company was required to pay the Holder all accrued interest
and the outstanding principal on the maturity date of April 4, 2008. The note
was not paid on maturity and is therefore in default.
Promissory Note - $150,000.
On
October 4, 2007, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount
of $150,000 to Dyron M. Watford, the Company’s CFO and Chairman. Interest
accrued on the outstanding principal balance from and after October 4, 2007 at a
rate of 11 percent per annum. Interest was calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year, and was charged on the principal outstanding from time to time for the
actual number of days elapsed. The Company was required to pay the Holder all
accrued interest and the outstanding principal on the maturity date of April 4,
2008. The note was not paid on maturity and is therefore in
default.

Contemporaneous
with the issuance of the promissory notes totaling $350,000, a total of 350,000
warrants were issued at an exercise price of $1.05. The warrants vest
immediately and have a 5 year term from the date of the promissory note. If at
any time after one year from the Initial Exercise Date there is no effective
registration statement (“Registration Statement”) registering, or no current
prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then
this Warrant may also be exercised at such time by means of a “cashless

this Warrant, as adjusted; and (X) = the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant by means
of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
The fair
value of the warrants issued was estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 4.75%; no dividend yields; volatility
factors of the expected market price of our common stock of 105.91%; an
estimated forfeiture rate of 0%; and an expected life of the warrant of
5 years. This generates a price of $0.81 per warrant based on a strike
price of $1.05 at the date of grant, which was October 4, 2007. As a result,
approximately $156,800 of discount on promissory notes and additional paid-in
capital was recorded during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2007
relating to the issuance of promissory notes.
Promissory Notes -
$600,000
. On or
about March 13, 2008, the Company issued promissory notes in the amount of
$600,000 to certain investors. Interest accrues on the outstanding principal
balance of this note at the rate of 12% per annum. Interest is calculated on the
basis of a 365-day year, and is charged on the principal outstanding from time
to time for the actual number of days elapsed. The Company pays each holder all
accrued interest on a calendar quarterly basis, commencing at the end of the
first calendar quarter following the purchase of this note. The Company will
begin making monthly cash principal payments on the first business day of each
calendar month beginning on the first business day of the thirteenth full
calendar month following purchase of the note. The amount of the monthly payment
is based on a two-year amortization of the note. The holder has the right to
convert the outstanding principal balance (in whole and not in part) into such
number of securities by dividing the outstanding balance by $0.50.
Contemporaneous
with the issuance of the promissory notes, a total of 1,200,000 warrants were
issued at an exercise price of $0.50. The warrants vested immediately and have a
3 year term from the date of the promissory note. The fair value of the warrants
issued was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rate
of 1.84%; no dividend yields; volatility factors of the expected market price of
our common stock of 102.31%; an estimated forfeiture rate of 0%; and an expected
life of the warrant of 2 years. This generates a price of $0.27 per warrant
based on a strike price of $0.50 at the date of grant, which was on or about
March 13, 2008. As a result, approximately $210,200 of discount on promissory
notes and additional paid-in capital was recorded during the three month period
ended June 30, 2008 relating to the issuance of promissory notes.
The
conversion feature in effect during the time the loan is outstanding, allows the
note holder to convert outstanding principal and interest into common stock. The
conversion price is subject to the pricing of certain stock offerings. During
June 2008, two of the note holders exchanged $200,000 of principal balance of
their note into the May 2008 Debenture financing.

NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE
DEBENTURES – SEPTEMBER 2007
On or
about September 13, 2007, we consummated a securities purchase agreement (the
“September 2007 SPA”) in which we received aggregate proceeds of $4,000,000
reflecting a 20% original issue discount to the purchasers. Pursuant to the
September 2007 SPA, we issued:
|
·
|
An
aggregate of $5,110,294 of Senior Debentures (the “Senior Debentures”),
convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.80 per
share;
|
|
·
|
A
Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,387,868 shares of our common
stock at an exercise price of $0.88 per share, for a period of 5 years
from the closing date of the
financing;
|
|
·
|
B
Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,387,868 units, each unit
consisting of a share of our common stock and one C Warrant, at exercise
price of $0.80 per unit, for a period of 1 year from the effective date of
the initial registration statement; the C Warrants permit the holders
thereof to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $0.88 per
share.
|
The
Senior Debentures are due and payable on August 31, 2009, and will begin to
amortize monthly commencing on September 1, 2008. The Senior Debentures bear
interest at a rate of eight percent per annum. The amortization may be effected
through cash payments, or at our option subject to certain conditions, through
the issuance of shares of our common stock, based on a price per share equal to
80% of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the common stock over the 20
trading days immediately preceding the date of such payment.
Until the
maturity date of the Senior Debentures, the purchasers have the right to convert
the Senior Debentures, in whole or in part, into shares of our common stock at a
price $0.80, which was subsequently adjusted downward to $0.50 in March 2008
(upon issuance of certain promissory notes discussed in Note
6 – Promissory Notes) and further adjusted to the lesser of $0.25 or
80% of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the common stock over the 20
trading days immediately preceding the date of such payment in June 2008 (upon
issuance of the May 2008 Debentures discussed in Note 9). The conversion price
may be adjusted downward under circumstances set forth in the Senior Debentures.
If so adjusted, the aggregate number of shares issuable, upon conversion in
full, will increase.
The
Senior Debentures include customary default provisions and an event of default
includes, among other things, a change of control, the sale of all or
substantially all of our assets, the failure to file and have a registration
statement declared effective on or before the deadlines set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement, or the lapse of the effectiveness of registration
statements for more than 20 consecutive trading days or 30 non-consecutive days
during any 12-month period (with certain exceptions) which results in such
indebtedness being accelerated. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, each
Debenture may become immediately due and payable, either automatically or by
declaration of the holder of such Debenture. The aggregate amount payable upon
an acceleration by reason of an event of default shall be equal to the greater
of 125% of the principal amount of the Senior Debentures to be prepaid or the
principal amount of the Senior Debentures to be prepaid, divided by the
conversion price on the date specified in the Debenture, multiplied by the
closing price on the date set forth in the Debenture.
The
purchasers also received A Warrants to purchase 6,387,868 additional shares of
common stock at a price of $0.88 per share exercisable for five (5) years. The
investors also received B Warrants to purchase 6,387,868 additional shares of
common stock at a price of $0.80 per share exercisable for one year after the
registration statement is declared effective. The investors will also receive a
C Warrant with the exercise of the B Warrant that will allow the investors to
purchase 6,387,868 additional shares of common stock at a price of $0.88 per
share exercisable for a period of five (5) years. The exercise price of the
warrants may be adjusted downward under the circumstances set forth in the
warrants. All warrants vest immediately upon issuance. If so adjusted, the
aggregate number of shares issuable, upon exercise in full, will be increased so
that the total aggregate cash exercise price remains constant. Upon the
occurrence of an event of default, the holder of the warrant can demand payment
for their warrants at fair value.

DEBENTURES – SEPTEMBER 2007, CONTINUED
The
debenture agreements also have certain milestones that the Company has agreed to
that if not met, results in the repricing of the conversion rate and warrant
exercise price. One such milestone was a revenue target to be achieved by March
31, 2008. This milestone was not met. However, the conversion rates and exercise
prices had been previously adjusted due to a subsequent rights offering in
conjunction with a financing transaction to a price below the market value of
the common stock at March 31, 2008.
Our
obligations to the Holders in the September 2007 Financing are secured by a
senior security interest and lien granted upon all of our assets pursuant to the
terms of a Security Agreement entered into in connection with the
closing. The Senior Debentures and the September 2007 Warrants
contain anti-dilution provisions.
In
connection with this transaction, each purchaser has contractually agreed to
restrict its ability to convert the Senior Debentures, exercise the warrants and
additional investment rights and receive shares of our common stock such that
the number of shares of our common stock held by them and their affiliates after
such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of our
common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or
exercise.
The fair
values of the debentures and related derivative instruments were valued as of
September 13, 2007, the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes model,
resulting in an initial fair value of approximately $8,621,400. The effects of
interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in
arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. The excess of
the fair value over the transaction price of the Debentures was recorded through
the results of operations in September 2007 as a debit of approximately
$4,621,400 to Charges Related to Issuance of September 2007 Convertible
Debentures and Warrants.
The
September 2007 Convertible Debentures and related derivatives outstanding at
September 30, 2008 were again valued at fair value using the Black Scholes
model, resulting in a decrease in the fair value of the liability of
approximately $10,637,400, which was recorded through the results of operations
as a credit to adjustments to fair value of derivatives.
In
connection with this financing, we paid cash fees to a broker-dealer of $120,000
and issued a warrant to purchase 280,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $0.88 per share. The initial fair value of the warrant was estimated at
approximately $147,900 using the Black Scholes pricing model. The assumptions
used in the Black Scholes model were as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%,
(2) expected volatility of 64.45%, (3) risk-free interest rate of
5.09%, and (4) expected life of 2 years. Cash fees paid, and the
initial fair value of the warrant, have been capitalized as debt issuance costs
and are being amortized over 24 months using the effective interest rate
method.

On or
about November 29, 2007 we consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement (the
“November SPA”) in which we received aggregate proceeds of $1,350,000 reflecting
a 20% original issue discount to the purchasers. Pursuant to the November SPA,
we issued:
|
·

An
aggregate of $1,742,647 of Junior Debentures convertible into shares of
our common stock at $0.80 per
share;
|
|
·
|
D

stock at an exercise price of $0.88 per share, for a period of 5 years
from the closing date of the November 2007
Financing;
|
|
·
|
E
Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,178,309 units, each unit
consisting of a share of our common stock and one F Warrant, at exercise
price of $0.80 per unit, for a period of 1 year from the effective date of
the initial registration statement; the F Warrants permit the holders
thereof to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $0.88 per
share.

·
|
G
Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,178,309 shares at $1.00 per
share for a period of five years from the closing date of the November
2007 financing.
|
The
outstanding principal balances of the Junior Debentures are due and payable on
October 31, 2009, and will begin to amortize monthly commencing on November 1,
2008. The Junior Debentures bear interest at a rate of 8 percent per annum. The
amortization may be effected through cash payments, or at our option subject to
certain conditions, through the issuance of shares of our common stock, based on
a price per share equal to 80% of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the
common stock over the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of such
payment.
Until the
maturity date of the Junior Debentures, the purchasers have the right to convert
the Junior Debentures, in whole or in part, into shares of our common stock at a
price $0.80, which was subsequently adjusted downward to $0.50 in March 2008
(upon issuance of certain promissory notes discussed in Note
6 – Promissory Notes) and further adjusted to the lesser of $0.25 or
80% of the lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the common stock over the 20
trading days immediately preceding the date of such payment in June 2008 (upon
issuance of the May 2008 Debentures discussed in Note 9).
The
Junior Debentures include customary default provisions and an event of default
includes, among other things, a change of control, the sale of all or
substantially all of our assets, the failure to file and have a registration
statement declared effective on or before the deadlines set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement, or the lapse of the effectiveness of registration
statements for more than 20 consecutive trading days or 30 non-consecutive days
during any 12-month period (with certain exceptions) which results in such
indebtedness being accelerated. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, each
Debenture may become immediately due and payable, either automatically or by
declaration of the holder of such Debenture. The aggregate amount payable upon
an acceleration by reason of an event of default shall be equal to the greater
of 125% of the principal amount of the Junior Debentures to be prepaid or the
principal amount of the Junior Debentures to be prepaid, divided by the
conversion price on the date specified in the Debenture, multiplied by the
closing price on the date set forth in the Debenture.
The
purchasers also received D Warrants to purchase 2,178,309 additional shares of
common stock at a price of $0.88 per share exercisable for five (5) years. The
investors also received E Warrants to purchase 2,178,309 additional shares of
common stock at a price of $0.80 per share exercisable for one year after the
registration statement is declared effective. The investors will also receive a
F Warrant with the exercise of the E Warrant that will allow the investors to
purchase 2,178,309 additional shares of common stock at a price of $0.88 per
share exercisable for a period of five (5) years. The Purchases also received a
G Warrants that will allow the purchase of up 2,178,309 of additional shares of

exercise price. One such milestone was a revenue target to be achieved by March
31, 2008. This milestone was not met. However, the conversion rates and exercise
prices had been previously adjusted due to a subsequent rights offering in
conjunction with a financing transaction to a price below the market value of

In
connection with this financing, we paid cash fees to a broker-dealer of $94,500
and issued a warrant to purchase 135,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $0.88 per share. The initial fair value of the warrant was estimated at
approximately $73,100 using the Black Scholes pricing model. The assumptions
used in the Black Scholes model were as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%,
(2) expected volatility of 145.14%, (3) risk-free interest rate of

The
outstanding principal balances of the May 2008 Debentures are due and payable on
April 30, 2010. The May 2008 Debentures bear interest at a rate of 8 percent per
annum.
Until the

during any 12-month period (with certain exceptions) which results in such
indebtedness being accelerated. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, each
Debenture may become immediately due and payable, either automatically or by
declaration of the holder of such Debenture. The aggregate amount payable upon
an acceleration by reason of an event of default shall be equal to the greater
of 125% of the principal amount of the May 2008 Debentures to be prepaid or the
principal amount of the May 2008 Debentures to be prepaid, divided by the
conversion price on the date specified in the Debenture, multiplied by the
closing price on the date set forth in the Debenture. Since a registration
statement was not filed timely, the debentures are in technical default and have
therefore been recorded as a current liability.
The
purchasers also received I Warrants to purchase 5,026,471 additional shares of
common stock at a price of $0.25 per share exercisable for five (5) years. All
warrants vest immediately upon issuance. Upon the occurrence of an event of
default, the holder of the warrant can demand payment for their warrants at fair
value.
The May
2008 Debentures and the warrants contain anti-dilution provisions.
In
connection with this transaction, each purchaser has contractually agreed to
restrict its ability to convert the May 2008 Debentures, exercise the warrants
and additional investment rights and receive shares of our common stock such
that the number of shares of our common stock held by them and their affiliates
after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the number of shares
of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
conversion or exercise.

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE
DEBENTURES – MAY 2008, CONTINUED
The fair
values of the debentures and related derivative instruments were valued as of
November 29, 2007, the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes model,
resulting in an initial fair value of approximately $1,723,600. The effects of
interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in
arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. The excess of
the fair value over the transaction price of the Debentures was recorded through
the results of operations in 2008 as a debit of approximately $753,600 to
Charges Related to Issuance of May 2008 Convertible Debentures and
Warrants.
The May
2008 Convertible Debentures and related derivatives outstanding at September 30,
2008 were again valued at fair value using the Black Scholes model, resulting in
a decrease in the fair value of the liability of approximately $1,099,300, which
was recorded through the results of operations as a credit to adjustments to
fair value of derivatives.
In
connection with this financing, we paid cash fees to a broker-dealer of $53,450
and issued a warrants to purchase 294,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $0.25 per share. The initial fair value of the warrant was estimated at
approximately $71,100 using the Black Scholes pricing model. The assumptions
used in the Black Scholes model were as follows: (1) dividend yield of 0%,
(2) expected volatility of 121.44%, (3) risk-free interest rate of
3.41%, and (4) expected life of 3 years. Cash fees paid, and the
initial fair value of the warrants, have been capitalized as debt issuance costs
and are being amortized over 24 months using the effective interest rate
method.

LIABILITIES
As
described more fully in Note 7 - Convertible Debentures - September 2007, Note
8 – Convertible Debentures – November 2007 and Note
9 – Convertible Debentures – May 2008, the provisions of our
convertible debentures financing completed in September 2007, November 2007 and
May 2008, respectively, permit the Company to make its redemptions in shares of
the Company’s common stock rather than cash upon satisfaction of certain
conditions. Under the terms of the debenture agreements, the price per share is
variable dependent upon the actual closing price of the Company’s common stock.
In
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments” and EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments
Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock” the Company has
reviewed all instruments previously recorded as permanent equity under this
literature.
The
following table summarizes the components of the Adjustment to Fair Value of
Derivatives which were recorded as charges to results of operations in the
period ended September 30, 2008. The table summarizes by category of
derivative liability at September 30, 2008. For these calculations, the
conversion price of the debentures and the exercise price of the warrants were
adjusted to $0.25 per share along with the aggregate number of shares issuable
due to a subsequent financing transaction as described in Note 10.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.
The
following discussion of our plan of operation, financial condition and results
of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated
financial statements, and notes thereto, included elsewhere herein. This
discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including,
but not limited to, those discussed in this Quarterly Report. See “Special Note
Regarding Forward Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report. Additional risk factors are also identified in our annual report to the
U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed on Form 10-KSB and in other SEC
filings.
Corporate History
We were
incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 4, 2002, under the name of
"Universal Tanning Ventures, Inc." From inception until 2006, we owned and
operated a single indoor tanning salon business that offered a full range of
indoor tanning products and services to our customers. On May 21, 2006, we
changed our name to "Universal Energy Corp." and focused our operations on the
acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties.
Our Properties
Figure 1
– US properties.
We have
not yet established proven reserves on any of our properties.
Plan of Operation
We are a
small independent energy company engaged in the acquisition and development of
crude oil and natural gas leases in the United States. We pursue oil and
gas prospects in partnership with oil and gas companies with exploration,
development and production expertise. Our prospect areas currently consist of
land in Louisiana and Texas.
As of
September 30, 2008, we have acquired interests in oil and gas properties and
have participated in the drilling of 6 wells. We currently have working
interests ranging from 7.5% to 95%, see “Description of Property.” We continue
to be considered an exploration-stage company due to the absence of significant
revenue.
We plan
to grow our business by acquiring (i) low risk in-field oil and gas rights that
are primarily developmental in nature that offset existing production and (ii)
energy companies that when combined with our management expertise in that area
will display strong top line growth and cash flows. As we expand our business we
will eventually seek to act as the operator of those properties in which we have
an interest.
Since
inception, we have funded our operations primarily from private placements of
our common stock and debt issuances. Although we expect that, during the next 12
months, our operating capital needs will be met from our current economic
resources and by additional private capital stock transactions, there can be no
assurance that funds required will be available on terms acceptable to us or at
all. Without additional financing, we do not expect that our current working
capital will be able to fund our operations through 2008. If we are unable to
raise sufficient funds on terms acceptable to us, we may be unable to complete
our business plan.
We have
no proven reserves as of September 30, 2008, and we have only recently begun
generation of revenues from operations of our oil and gas activities. From
inception to September 30, 2008, we have accumulated losses of approximately
$15,805,300 and expect to incur further losses in the development of our
business, all of which casts doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our
ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary
financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal
business operations when they become due.
To the
extent that we are successful in finding and producing oil and gas, proceeds
from that activity would be added to our working capital reserves and be
available to fund future exploration.
We
believe that we will require additional funds to operate throughout the next 12
months. Furthermore any expansion beyond our current plans, will require
additional capital funding. We intend to continue to seek drilling opportunities
on the acreage in which we currently have an interest or in other acreage and to
consider the possible acquisition of producing properties. We do not have funds
to undertake any of these activities and would have to obtain funding from
external sources. We believe that additional capital funding is available
through private or public equity financing or perhaps bank financing. Success in
the field will enhance our opportunities to obtaining financing, but we will
probably need to obtain reserve reports and have sufficient length of production
to obtain favorable financing arrangements. Furthermore, outside events such as
the price of oil, the condition of the stock market, and interest rate levels
could affect our ability to obtain financing. Our ability to obtain financing
may also be affected by antidilution provisions contained in the warrants we
have issued, as described in detail under “Risk Factors” as contained in the
Company’s December 31, 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.
At this
time, we have no financing arrangements in place.
We
estimate the drilling and completion costs to operate our prospects and our
business for the next twelve months are as follows:

. In
August 2008, the Company’s four producing wells in Louisiana (Caviar #1, Caviar
#4, Amberjack and Lake Campo) were shut-in due as ordered by the State of
Louisiana for storm preparations. Production facilities at all four wells were
damaged during the hurricane. Caviar #1, Caviar #4 and Amberjack were returned
into production in late October 2008. When Lake Campo was returned to
production, excessive water production created disposal well capacity problems
and was shut-in after a few days. A workover on Lake Campo will be performed in
November 2008 to perforate the Tex W-5 sand to attempt to return the well to
production.

Comparison of Three Months Ended
September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007.
Revenue
. Revenue
for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased $330,226 to $330,226
from $0 for the same period in 2007. The increase was attributable to successful
drilling and completion efforts at our Amberjack and Lake Campo prospects that
began production in December 2007 and January 2008, respectively. Production at
our Caviar #1 and Caviar #4 wells began in July 2008. In August 2008, the
Company’s four producing wells in Louisiana (Caviar #1, Caviar #4, Amberjack and
Lake Campo) were shut-in due as ordered by the State of Louisiana for storm
preparations. Production facilities at all four wells were damaged during the

the Tex W-5 sand to attempt to return the well to production.
Operating
Expenses
.
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased
$114,555 (or 15%) to $861,008 from $746,453 for the same period in 2007. The
increase was primarily attributable to increased amortization of debt issuance
costs and penalties associated with our outstanding debentures.
Other Income
(expense)
. Other
income (expense) for the period ended September 30, 2008 decreased $432,226 to
$(3,261,141) from $(3,693,367) for the same period in 2007. The increase was
attributable to change in fair value of embedded derivatives and associated
charges with our convertible debentures and warrants.
Net Income
(loss).
Net
income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $(3,920,058)
compared to $(4,439,820) for 2007. The decrease in our net loss was due to the
reasons described herein above.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007.
Revenue
. Revenue
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased $745,231 to $745,231 from
$0 for the same period in 2007. The increase was attributable to successful
drilling and completion efforts at our Amberjack and Lake Campo prospects that
began production in December 2007 and January 2008, respectively. Production at
our Caviar #1 and Caviar #4 wells began in July 2008. In August 2008, the

the Tex W-5 sand to attempt to return the well to production.
Operating
Expenses
.
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 decreased
$919,624 (or 27%) to $2,490,184 from $3,409,808 for the same period in 2007. The
decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in investor awareness
expenses.
Other Income
(expense)
. Other
income (expense) for the period ended September 30, 2008 increased $5,370,673 to
$1,654,027 from $(3,716,646) for the same period in 2007. The increase was
attributable to change in fair value of embedded derivatives in our convertible
debentures and warrants.
Net Income
(loss).
Net
income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $(386,880)
compared to $(7,160,640) for 2007. The decrease in our net loss was due to the

used in continuing operating activities of continuing operations totaled
approximately $46,600 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared
to net cash used in continuing operating activities of approximately $4,157,300
for the same period in 2007. Net cash used in discontinued operating activities
totaled approximately $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008,
compared to net cash used in discontinued operations of approximately $42,600
for the same period in 2007.
Net cash
provided by investing activities from discontinued operations totaled $0 and
$7,600 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations totaled
approximately $1,309,000 and $1,678,600 during the nine months ended September
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to
investments in oil and gas properties. We have no material commitments for
capital expenditures.
Net cash
provided by financing activities totaled approximately $1,165,300 and $5,734,800
during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, financing activities consisted of
proceeds from various debt financings.
At
September 30, 2008 we had cash balances in the amount of approximately $44,700.
Our principal source of funds has been cash generated from financing activities.
We have been unable to generate significant liquidity or cash flow from our
current operations. We anticipate that cash flows from continuing operations or
discontinued operations will be insufficient to fund our business operations for
the full year 2008 and that we must continue attempting to raise additional
capital to fund our operations and implement our business plan.
Variables and
Trends
We have
very limited history with respect to our acquisition and development of oil and
gas properties. In the event we are able to obtain the necessary financing to
move forward with our business plan, we expect our expenses to increase
significantly as we grow our business. Accordingly, the comparison of the
financial data for the periods presented may not be a meaningful indicator of
our future performance and must be considered in light these
circumstances.
Critical Accounting
Policies
We
prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to
make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable
based upon the information available to us. These estimates and assumptions
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the periods presented. The significant accounting policies that we believe are
the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported
financial results include the following:
Revenue
recognition
. Our
revenue recognition policy is significant because revenue is anticipated to be a
key component of our results of operations and our forward-looking statements
contained in our analyses of liquidity and capital resources. We
derive our revenue primarily from the sale of produced natural gas and crude
oil. We report revenue as the gross amounts we
receive before taking into account production taxes and transportation
costs, which are reported as separate expenses. Revenue is recorded
in the month our production is delivered to the purchaser, but payment is
generally received between 30 and 90 days after the date of
production. No revenue is recognized unless it is determined that
title to the product has transferred to a purchaser. At the end of
each month we make estimates of the amount of production delivered to the
purchaser and the price we will receive. We use our knowledge of our
properties, their historical performance, NYMEX and local spot market prices,
and other factors as the basis for these estimates. Variances between
our estimates and the actual amounts received are recorded in the month payment
is received.
Accounts
Receivable.
We
have receivables for sales of oil, gas and natural gas liquids. Management has
established an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is evaluated by
management and is based on management’s periodic review of the collectibility of
the receivables in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the
receivables, and other subjective factors.
Stock-Based
Compensation
. During
the first quarter of 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" using the modified
prospective method of transition. Under SFAS No. 123R, the estimated fair value
of stock options or restricted stock granted under our Stock Option Plan is
recognized as expense. The estimated fair value of stock options is expensed on
a straight-line basis over the expected service period of the option.
The
estimated fair value of each option grant is determined on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model is
dependent upon key inputs estimated by management, including the expected term
of an option and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the
expected term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on zero-coupon
U.S. treasury securities at the time of grant for a period commensurate with the
expected term. The expected volatility is calculated based on the historic
monthly closing prices for a period commensurate with the expected term, which
is the same method used both prior and subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123R.
Changes in the subjective assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair
value of an option and consequently the amount of stock option expense
recognized in the Company's results of operations.
Full Cost Method.
The
Company utilizes the full-cost method of accounting for petroleum and natural
gas properties. Under this method, the Company capitalizes all costs associated
with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves,
including leasehold acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures,
lease rentals on undeveloped properties and costs of drilling of productive and
non-productive wells into the full cost pool. As of September 30, 2008, the
Company had no properties with proven reserves. When the Company obtains proven
oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to
develop the reserves proved and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage,
will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved
reserves. The costs of unproved properties are not amortized until it is
determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties.
Until such determination is made, the Company assesses quarterly whether
impairment has occurred, and includes in the amortization base drilling
exploratory dry holes associated with unproved properties.
Derivative
Liabilities
.
We record
derivatives at their fair values on the date that they meet the requirements of
a derivative instrument and at each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in
fair value will be recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each
reporting date.
Use of Estimates
.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. We regularly evaluate estimates and
assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets,
asset retirement obligations, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax
asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current
facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the
accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from
our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the
estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be
affected.
Net operating loss carryforwards.
We have
not recognized the benefit in our financial statements with respect to any net
operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes as of September 30,
2008. This benefit was not recognized due to the possibility that the net
operating loss carryforward would not be utilized, for various reasons;
including the potential that we might not have sufficient profits to use the
carryforward or that the carryforward may be limited as a result of changes in
our equity ownership. We intend to use this carryforward to offset our future
taxable income. If we were to use any of this net operating loss carryforward to
reduce our future taxable income and the Internal Revenue Service were to then
successfully assert that our carryforward is subject to limitation as a result
of capital transactions occurring in 2007 or otherwise, we may be liable for
back taxes, interest and, possibly, penalties prospectively. The Company’s
financial position, results of operations or cash flows were not impacted by the
adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertain Tax
Positions.”
Recently Issued Accounting
Standards
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value for
certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance applies to other
accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. On
February 12, 2008, the FASB finalized FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2,
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This Staff Position delays the
effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities to fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal
years, except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption
of SFAS No. 157 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position
or results of operations.
The
Company partially adopted SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, delaying application
for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities as permitted. This
statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to
measure fair value into three levels as follows:
|
·
|
Level
1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the
measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1
inputs include active exchange-traded securities and exchange-based
derivatives.
|
|
·
|
Level
2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are
directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable
through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and
liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities,
non-exchange-based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value
hedges.
|
|
·
|
Level
3 — unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is
little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the
measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3
inputs include infrequently-traded, non-exchange-based derivatives and
commingled investment funds, and are measured using present value pricing
models.
|
The
following table presents the derivative liabilities, the Company’s only
financial assets measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s
Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair
value hierarchy during the three months ended September 30,

The
valuation of the derivatives are calculated using a Black-Scholes pricing model
that is based on changes in the volatility of our shares, our stock price, the
probability of a reduction in exercise and conversion price, and the time to
conversion of the related financial instruments. See Note 7, Note 8 and Note 9
for more information on the valuation methods used.
In
May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States. SFAS No. 162 will
be effective 60 days after the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (“PCAOB’s”) amendments to AU Section 411. We do not expect
the adoption of SFAS No. 162 to have an impact on our consolidated
financial statements.
Off Balance Sheet
Arrangements
We have
no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a
current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Special Note Regarding Forward
Looking Statements
This
report includes “Forward-Looking Statements” within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions,
expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future
events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as
“expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not
anticipate”, “plans”, “estimates” or “intends”, or stating that certain actions,
events or results “may”, “could”, “should”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken,
occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be
considered “forward looking statements”.
These
forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and
uncertainties. 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 us in those statements include, among
others, the following:
|
·
|
the
quality of our properties with regard to, among other things, the
existence of reserves in economic
quantities;
|
|
·
|
uncertainties
about the estimates of reserves;
|
|
·
|
our
ability to increase our production of oil and natural gas income through
exploration and development;
|
|
·
|
the
number of well locations to be drilled and the time frame within which
they will be drilled;
|
|
·
|
the
timing and extent of changes in commodity prices for natural gas and crude
oil;
|
|
·
|
our
ability to complete potential
acquisitions;
|
|
·
|
domestic
demand for oil and natural gas;
|
|
·
|
drilling
and operating risks;
|
|
·
|
the
availability of equipment, such as drilling rigs and transportation
pipelines;
|
|
·
|
changes
in our drilling plans and related budgets;
|
|
·
|
the
adequacy of our capital resources and liquidity including, but not limited
to, access to additional borrowing capacity;
and
|
Because
such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may
differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements,
which speak only as of the date of this report.
The
Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.
A more
comprehensive list of such factors and related discussion are set forth in our
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and our other filings made with the SEC from time
to time.
ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not
applicable.
ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
Not
applicable.
ITEM 4T - CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure
controls and procedures.
Our
management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as of
September 30, 2008. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as a result of a material weakness in internal
controls as of September 30, 2008 in ensuring that information that is required
to be disclosed by us in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act
is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii)
accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
promulgated under the Exchange Act). Even an effective system of internal
control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent
limitations, including the possibility of human error, circumvention or
overriding of controls and, therefore, can provide only reasonable assurance
with respect to reliable financial reporting. Furthermore, the effectiveness of
a system of internal control over financial reporting in future periods can
change as conditions change.
(b) Changes in internal control over
financial reporting
. Our
management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of September 30, 2008. We have determined that a material weakness
in our internal control over the reporting of the valuation of our September and
November debentures existed during the third and fourth quarter of 2007. The
control deficiency resulted from the lack of effective detective and monitoring
controls within internal control over financial reporting over these accounts.
In addition, as previously disclosed, the Company only has two employees and
therefore, an adequate segregation of duties is difficult. Solely as a result of
this material weakness, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective as of September 30, 2008. We have taken and will take the
following actions to enhance our internal controls: retain additional
specialized staff in the preparation of annual and interim financial statements
and implement a system of segregation of duties in the processing of
transactions within the recording cycle. Other than with respect to the
identification of this weakness in internal control procedures, there was no
change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended
September 30, 2008 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER
INFORMATION
Item 1.
|
Legal
Proceedings.
|
The
Company is not a party to any pending legal proceedings nor is any of its
property subject to pending legal proceedings.
You
should carefully consider the following risk factors, the other information
included herein and the information included in our other reports and filings.
Our business, financial condition, and the trading price of our common stock
could be adversely affected by these and other risks.
Risks Specific to Our
Company
OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS HAVE
EXPRESSED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING
CONCERN.
Our
independent registered certified public accounting firm has issued its report,
which includes an explanatory paragraph for going concern uncertainty on our
financial statements as of December 31, 2007. Our ability to continue as a going
concern is heavily dependent upon our ability to obtain additional capital to
sustain operations. Currently, we have no commitments to obtain additional
capital, and there can be no assurance that financing will be available in
amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
SINCE WE ARE IN THE EARLY STAGE OF
DEVELOPMENT AND HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY, IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO
ASSESS OUR BUSINESS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS.
We have a
limited history of revenues from oil and natural gas operations. We have yet to
generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever
operate profitably. With this limited operating history our company must be
considered in the exploration stage. Our success is significantly dependent on a
successful acquisition, drilling, completion and production program. Our
operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a
developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a
significant operating history. We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves
or operate on a profitable basis. We are in the exploration stage and potential
investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by
enterprises in the exploration stage.
WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO
FUND OUR BUSINESS AND COMPLETE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR BUSINESS
PLAN.
We will
require additional financing in order to carry out our business plan. Such
financing may take the form of the issuance of common or preferred stock or debt
securities, or may involve bank financing. There can be no assurance that we
will obtain such additional capital on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at
all. If we are unable to generate the required amount of additional capital, our
ability to meet our financial obligations and to implement our business plan may
be adversely affected.
BECAUSE WE ARE SMALL AND DO NOT HAVE
MUCH CAPITAL, WE MAY HAVE TO LIMIT OUR EXPLORATION ACTIVITY.
Because
we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration
activity. As such we may not be able to complete an exploration program that is
as thorough as we would like. In that event, existing reserves may go
undiscovered. Without finding reserves, we cannot generate revenues and you
could lose your investment.
THE POTENTIAL PROFITABILITY OF OIL
AND GAS VENTURES DEPENDS UPON FACTORS BEYOND THE CONTROL OF OUR COMPANY.
The
potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors
beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and gas are
unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing,
pegging, controls, or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to
changes in domestic, international, political, social, and economic
environments. Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the
availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become
increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. In addition, adverse
weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. These changes and events
may materially affect our financial performance. These factors cannot be
accurately predicted and the combination of these factors may result in our
company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.
Risks Specific to Our
Industry
THE MARKETABILITY OF NATURAL
RESOURCES WILL BE AFFECTED BY NUMEROUS FACTORS BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
The
marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by us
will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include
market fluctuations in oil and gas pricing and demand, the proximity and
capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental
regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and
exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection regulations. The exact
effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of
these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested
capital to be profitable or viable.
EXPLORATORY DRILLING INVOLVES MANY
RISKS AND WE MAY BECOME LIABLE FOR POLLUTION OR OTHER LIABILITIES WHICH MAY HAVE
AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR FINANCIAL POSITION.
Drilling
operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards such as unusual or
unexpected geological formations, power outages, labor disruptions, blow-outs,
sour gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery,
equipment or labor, and other risks are involved. We may become subject to
liability for pollution or hazards against which it cannot adequately insure or
which it may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a
material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.
Risks Related to Our
Securities
IF WE ARE REQUIRED FOR ANY REASON TO
REPAY OUR OUTSTANDING DEBENTURES WE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO DEPLETE OUR WORKING
CAPITAL.
We have
outstanding, as of September 30, 2008, $4,801,760 aggregate original principal
amount of our Debentures. The Debentures bear interest at the rate of 8% per
annum.
Unless
deferred by the holders of the Senior Debentures, we are required to redeem the
Senior Debentures on a monthly basis commencing on September 1, 2008, by
payment, at our option, in cash or in shares of our common stock, one-twelfth of
the aggregate original principal amount of the Senior Debentures or
approximately $425,900 plus interest on the outstanding balance. Similarly, we
are required to redeem the Junior Debentures on a monthly basis commencing on
November 1, 2008, by payment, at our option, in cash or in shares of our common
stock, one-twelfth of the aggregate original principal amount of the Junior
Debentures or approximately $145,200 plus interest on the outstanding
balance.
The
Senior Debentures and the Junior Debentures are due and payable on
September 1, 2009 and October 31, 2009, respectively, unless sooner
converted into shares of our common stock. Any event of default could require
the early repayment of the Debentures, including the accruing of interest on the
outstanding principal balance of the Debentures if the default is not cured with
the specified grace period. We anticipate that the full amount of the Debentures
will be converted into shares of our common stock, in accordance with the terms
of the Debentures; however no assurance can be provided that any amount of
Debentures will be converted. If, prior to the maturity date, we are required to
repay the Debentures in full, we would be required to use our limited working
capital and raise additional funds. If we were unable to repay the notes when
required, the Debenture holders could commence legal action against us to
recover the amounts due. Any such action could require us to curtail or cease
operations.
THERE IS AN INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR
SHORT SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK DUE TO THE SALES OF SHARES ISSUED TO THE HOLDERS
IN CONNECTION WITH THE SENIOR DEBENTURES AND A WARRANTS, WHICH COULD MATERIALLY
AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR STOCK.
Downward
pressure on the market price of our common stock that likely will result from
sales of our common stock by the Holders issued in connection with conversions
of our debentures could encourage short sales of common stock by the purchasers
or others. A "short sale" is defined as the sale of stock by an
investor that the investor does not own. Typically, investors who
sell short believe that the price of the stock will fall, and anticipate selling
at a price higher than the price at which they will buy the
stock. Significant amounts of such short selling could place further
downward pressure on the market price of our common stock, which could make it
more difficult for existing shareholders to sell their shares.
THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES UPON
CONVERSION OF THE DEBENTURES AND EXERCISE OF OUTSTANDING WARRANTS WILL CAUSE
IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO OUR EXISTING
STOCKHOLDERS.
The
issuance of shares upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of warrants
will result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since
the purchasers may ultimately convert and sell the full amount issuable on
conversion or exercise as the case may be. Although no single purchaser may
convert its Debentures and/or exercise its warrants if such conversion or
exercise would cause it to own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock,
this restriction does not prevent each purchaser from converting and/or
exercising some of its holdings and then converting the rest of its holdings. In
this way, each purchaer could sell more than this limit while never holding more
than this limit. There is no upper limit on the number of shares that may be
issued which will have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity
interest and voting power of holders of our common stock, including investors in
this offering. In addition, the issuance of the Debentures and the warrants
triggered certain anti-dilution rights for certain third parties currently
holding our securities resulting in substantial dilution to the interests of
other stockholders.
PAYMENT OF MANDATORY MONTHLY
REDEMPTIONS IN SHARES OF COMMON STOCK WILL RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL
DILUTION.
To the
extent that the Debentures are not converted and the holders do not defer the
monthly redemption provisions of the Debentures, we expect to satisfy all or a
significant portion of our obligation to redeem one-twelfth of the aggregate
original principal amount of Debentures per month through issuance of additional
shares of our common stock.
This may
result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders because
the redemption price is 80% of the average of the three (3) lowest closing bid
prices of the common stock over the twenty (20) trading day period ending on the
trading day immediately preceding the applicable monthly redemption date, but
not more than $0.80 per share, thus possibly requiring the issuance of more
shares than would have been issued upon conversion.
IF WE FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF THE DEBENTURES, WARRANTS, THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENTS,
OR THE SECURITIES AGREEMENT, WE MAY BE OBLIGATED TO PAY THE PURCHASERS OF THE
DEBENTURES DAMAGES.
We have
various obligations to file and obtain the effectiveness of certain registration
statements which include certain outstanding common stock and common stock
underlying outstanding Debentures and common stock underlying the warrants. If
we fail to meet any obligations we have to have effective and current
registration statements available (including the current registration statement
related to the common stock underlying our Debentures and warrants), we may
become obligated to pay damages to investors to the extent they may be entitled
to such damages. In addition, to the filing of registration statements in
connection with both the September 2007 and November 2007 Debentures and the
Related Registration Rights Agreements and the Securities Agreement we may be
required to file additional registration statements at various times in the
future. We are initially seeking to register a number of shares which exceeds 33
percent of our currently issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Because
of the Securities and Exchange Commission's recent interpretation of
Rule 415, we cannot offer any assurances that we will be able to obtain the
effectiveness of any registration statements or post-effective amendments to
existing registration that we may file.
BOTH THE SEPTEMBER 2007 FINANCING,
THE NOVEMBER 2007 FINANCING, AND THE MAY 2008 FINANCING IMPOSES CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS ON HOW WE CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS. IN ADDITION, ALL OF OUR ASSETS,
INCLUDING OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, ARE PLEDGED TO SECURE THIS INDEBTEDNESS. IF
WE FAIL TO MEET OUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE SENIOR DEBENTURES, OUR PAYMENT
OBLIGATIONS MAY BE ACCELERATED AND THE COLLATERAL SECURING THE DEBT MAY BE SOLD
TO SATISFY THESE OBLIGATIONS.
The
financing documents relating to each of the September 2007 Financing, November
2007 Financing, and May 2008 Financing contain various provisions that restrict
our operating flexibility. Pursuant to the agreement, we may not directly or
indirectly, among other things:
|
·
|
pay,
declare or set apart for such payment, any dividend or other distribution
(whether in cash, property or other securities) on shares of capital stock
or make any other payment or distribution in respect of our capital
stock;
|
|
·
|
redeem,
repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire (whether for cash or in exchange
for property or other securities or otherwise) any shares of our capital
stock;
|
|
·
|
by
amendment of our charter documents, or through any reorganization,
transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms of the
Debentures;
|
|
·
|
enter
into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness
for borrowed money of any kind, including but not limited to, a guarantee,
on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter
acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits
therefrom;
|
|
·
|
other
than permitted liens, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist
any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance
upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights)
owned by us or any of our
subsidiaries;
|
|
·
|
enter
into any transaction with any of our
affiliates;
|
|
·
|
redeem,
defease, repurchase, repay or make any payments in respect of, by the
payment of cash or cash equivalents (in whole or in part, whether by way
of open market purchases, tender offers, private transactions or
otherwise), all or any portion of any indebtedness; or
|
|
·
|
effect
any type of variable price
financing.
|
These
provisions could have important consequences for us, including (i) making
it more difficult for us to obtain additional debt or equity financing from
another lender, or obtain new debt financing on terms favorable to us, and or
(ii) causing us to use a portion of our available cash for debt repayment
and service rather than other corporate purposes.
IT MAY BE MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO
RAISE FUNDS IN SUBSEQUENT STOCK OFFERINGS AS A RESULT OF THE SALES OF OUR COMMON
STOCK BY THE HOLDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE SENIOR DEBENTURES AND JUNIOR
DEBENTURES.
As noted
above, sales by the Holders likely will result in substantial dilution to the
holdings and interest of current and new shareholders. Additionally,
as noted above, the volume of shares sold by the Holders could depress the
market price of our stock. These factors could make it more difficult
for us to raise additional capital through subsequent offerings of our common
stock, which could have a material adverse effect on our
operations.
OUR COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO THE
“PENNY STOCK” RULES OF THE SEC AND THE TRADING MARKET IN OUR SECURITIES IS
LIMITED, WHICH MAKES TRANSACTIONS IN OUR STOCK CUMBERSOME AND MAY REDUCE THE
VALUE OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the
definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For
any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
|
·
|
that
a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny
stocks; and
|
|
·
|
the
broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the
transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to
be purchased.
|
In order
to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or
dealer must:
|
·
|
obtain
financial information and investment experience objectives of the person;
and
|
|
·
|
make
a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of
transactions in penny stocks.
|
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock
market, which, in highlight form:
|
·
|
sets
forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination; and
|
|
·
|
that
the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the
investor prior to the transaction.
|
Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the
“penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of
our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and
information on the limited market in penny stocks.
IF A MARKET WERE TO DEVELOP FOR OUR
SHARES, THE SHARE PRICES MAY BE HIGHLY VOLATILE.
The
market prices of equity securities of small companies have experienced extreme
price volatility in recent years not necessarily related to the individual
performance of specific companies. Factors such as announcements by us, or our
competitors concerning products, technology, governmental regulatory actions,
other events affecting energy companies generally and general market conditions
may have a significant impact on the market price of our shares and could cause
it to fluctuate substantially.

Unregistered Sales of Equity
Securities and Use of Proceeds.

(c)
|
During
2008, the Company issued 112,500 shares of restricted common stock to
members of the Company’s advisory board. At the date of each issuance, the
shares were valued at the closing price. For the period ended September
30, 2008, the Company recorded approximately $28,300 as compensation
expense under this agreement. The securities were exempt from registration
pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended
|
On or
about March 13, 2008, the Company issued promissory notes in the amount of
$600,000 to certain investors. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding
principal balance of this note at the rate of 12% per annum. Interest shall be
calculated on the basis of a 365-day year, and shall be charged on the principal
outstanding from time to time for the actual number of days elapsed. The Company
shall pay the holder all accrued interest on a calendar quarterly basis,
commencing at the end of the first calendar quarter following the purchase of
this note. The Company will begin making monthly cash principal payments on the
first business day of each calendar month beginning on the first business day of
the thirteenth full calendar month following purchase of the note. The amount of
the monthly payment is based on a two-year amortization of the note. The holder
shall have the right to convert the outstanding principal balance (in whole and
not in part) into such number of securities by dividing the outstanding balance
by $0.50. On June 9, 2008, certain investors converted $200,000 principal
balance of their promissory notes into the May 2008 Debenture
financing.
The
proceeds from the above stock issuances were used for general and administrative
expenses as well as the acquisition of oil and gas properties.
