ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ALPHA ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 which are included on the Form 10-K filed on April 4, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods shown have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 have been omitted.
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our 100% owned subsidiary, Alpha Energy Texas Operating, LLC. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that (1) recorded transactions are valid; (2) all valid transactions are recorded and (3) transactions are recorded in the period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company for the respective periods being presented.
Basic and Diluted Loss per share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, “Earnings (Loss) per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were 263,992 and 0 shares issuable from the senior secured convertible notes payable and 168,328 and 148,328 shares issuable from the convertible credit line payable which were considered for their dilutive effects but were determined to be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss, respectively.
The reconciliation of basic and diluted loss per share is as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, notes payable and convertible notes approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards, in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that will have a significant effect on its financial statements.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has minimal cash or other current assets and does not have an established ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
On June 30, 2020, the Company entered into an option Agreement with Progressive Well Service, LLC (“Progressive”) to acquire oil and gas assets in Lincoln and Logan Counties in Central Oklahoma. On March 9, 2022, the Company closed on the acquisition of 34 well bores and related assets under the PSA with cash payments of $507,814. The Company is entitled to receive the proceeds of production from January 1, 2022 under the terms of the PSA and Progressive is required to operate the properties and transfer ownership and royalty decks to Company following a one-month transition period. Under the PSA we are obligated to make a further payment of three (3%) percent of the net revenue from new wells drilled until Progressive receives an additional $350,000.

Convertible Credit Line Payable
On June 1, 2021, the Company entered into a new convertible credit line agreement to borrow up to $1,500,000 and matures on June 1, 2023. The outstanding balance accrues interest at a rate of 7% per annum and the outstanding balance is convertible to common stock of the Company at the lesser of the close price of the common stock as quoted on the OTCBB on the day interest is due and payable immediately preceding the conversion or $4.00. The Company analyzed the conversion option in the convertible line of credit for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, Derivative and Hedging, and determined that the transaction does qualify for derivative treatment. The Company evaluated the new convertible credit line for debt modification in accordance with ASC 470-50 and concluded that the debt qualified for debt modification as the borrowing capacity under the new credit line is greater than the borrowing capacity under the original credit line. There were no fees paid to the creditor and no unamortized deferred costs on the original credit line. Accordingly, no expense was recognized in connection with the transaction. On August 8, 2021, the Company received $20,000 in cash proceeds from the credit line. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company amortized $1,116 of the discount as interest expense.
