ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION AND GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY
Adino Energy Corporation ("Adino",
“we” or the "Company"), is an emerging oil and gas exploration and production company focused on mature oilfield
assets with significant redevelopment, workover and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) potential. The Company also leases and operates
a fuel terminal in Houston, Texas.
Adino was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Montana on August 13, 1981, under the name Golden Maple Mining and Leaching Company, Inc. In 1985, the Company ceased
its mining operations and discontinued all business operations in 1990. The Company then acquired Consolidated Medical Management,
Inc. (“CMMI”) and kept the CMMI name. The Company initially focused its efforts on the continuation of the business
services offered by CMMI. These services focused on the delivery of turn-key management services for the home health industry,
predominately in south Louisiana. The Company exited the medical business in December 2000. In August 2001, the Company decided
to refocus on the oil and gas industry. In 2003, we decided to cease our oil and gas activities and focus on becoming a fuel company.
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary,
Intercontinental Fuels, LLC (“IFL”), a Texas limited liability company, was founded in 2003. Adino first acquired 75%
of IFL’s membership interests in 2003. The Company acquired 100% ownership of IFL shortly thereafter.
In January 2008, the Company changed its
name to Adino Energy Corporation. We believe that this name better reflects our current and future business activities, as we plan
to continue focusing on the energy industry.
As of July 1, 2010, the Company acquired
PetroGreen Energy LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and AACM3, LLC, a Texas limited liability company d/b/a Petro 2000 Exploration
Co. (together "Petro Energy"). Petro Energy is a licensed Texas oilfield operator currently operating 11 wells on two
leases covering approximately 300 acres in Coleman County, Texas. Petro Energy also owns a drilling rig, two service rigs and associated
tools and equipment. The Company also acquired the operator license held by the principal of Petro Energy.
After the acquisition of Petro Energy,
the Company created two wholly owned subsidiaries: Adino Exploration, LLC (“Adino Exploration”) and Adino
Drilling, LLC (“Adino Drilling”). All oil and gas leases were transferred from the Petro Energy companies
to Adino Exploration and future oil and gas exploration acquisitions and activity are to be operated through this company. The
large drilling rig acquired in the Petro Energy transaction and other associated drilling machinery and equipment were transferred
to Adino Drilling.
On March 31, 2011, the Company sold the
membership shares of Adino Drilling, LLC to a related party. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company realized a reduction
in accrued liability of $100,000 and acquired a $500,000 six year, 5.24% interest note receivable, for a total sale price of $600,000.
The sale resulted in a gain to the Company of $247,376; however the transaction’s related party note of $500,000 is not allowed
for reporting purposes, therefore the Company has a reportable loss of $252,624.
With the Company’s focus on oil and gas exploration and
production, the Company decided to sell its interest in IFL. To that end, on February 7, 2012 (subsequent to the period covered
by this report), Adino sold all of its membership interest in IFL to a third party.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Oil and Gas Exploration and Production
On July 1, 2010, the Company acquired 100%
of the membership interests of Petro Energy for 10,000,000 shares of Adino common stock; however, the newly issued shares will
remain in escrow until Adino’s stock price reaches $0.25 per share. If Adino's stock price fails to reach $0.25 within three
years, the sellers may repurchase for $1.00 the assets originally held by Petro Energy on July 1, 2010.
Petro Energy was a licensed Texas oilfield
operator operating 11 wells on two leases covering approximately 300 acres in Coleman County, Texas. Petro also owned a drilling
rig, two service rigs and associated tools and equipment. The Company also acquired the operator license held by the principal
of PetroGreen and Petro 2000 Exploration Co.
The newly acquired leases have mature production
from eight proved developed producing (PDP) wells and three saltwater disposal wells. The area has seen active oil production from
multiple pay zones since the 1950s. Reservoir pressure has dropped over time; however, the Company believes that significant oil
remains in place. Adino started a waterflood project, which management believes will substantially increase both daily production
and economically recoverable reserves.
Since the acquisition, the Company has
completed Phase I of its workover program on its Felix Brandt and Felix Brandt "A" leases (collectively, the “Felix
Brandt leases”) located in southeast Coleman County, Texas. With the completion of Phase I of the workover program, Adino
has eight wells on production. Two more wells are designated as injection wells for the previously announced waterflood project
(one is an active injection well and the other is in the permitting process). The Company also recompleted an existing well as
a water source for the waterflood.
During Phase I, Adino perforated into new
zones on two of the existing wells and applied acid fracture jobs on both. Acid fracture involves pumping a diluted acid solution,
under high pressure, into underground formations containing hydrocarbons. The technique is used to improve the permeability of
the formations, allowing hydrocarbons to flow more easily into the wellbore.
In addition, significant parts of the production
equipment have been replaced and water storage tanks have been installed. The Company continues to improve basic infrastructure
on the Felix Brandt Leases, including retention berms around the tank batteries, trenching flow-lines and removal of debris from
the area.
With the initial Petro Energy purchase,
the Company acquired 100% of the working interest (87.5% net revenue interest) in the James Leonard lease (the “Leonard lease”)
in southeast Coleman County, Texas. The primary target pay zone of the Leonard lease is the Fry Sand at approximately 1,200 feet.
In December 2010, we began Phase II of
the Petro Energy development plan for the Leonard lease. The Company cleared the needed land and drilled 3 successful wells on
the Leonard lease, completing those wells in early summer 2011. We have also moved in the required tank battery with retention
berms, put in flow lines and have added a shop for localized equipment repairs and disbursement.
With the success of the drilling program,
the Company had the reserve analysis recalculated to include both the Felix Brandt and Leonard leases. An independent engineering
firm estimated the discounted net cash flow increased from $118,590 as of December 31, 2010 to $951,270 at December 31, 2011.
On October 12, 2011, the Company signed
a letter of intent with Ashton Oilfield Services, LLC (“Ashton”) for purchase of oilfield equipment, including a drilling
rig, associated equipment and several vehicles. The proposed purchase price for the assets was $6,000,000 in face value
of convertible preferred stock of the Company, with the preferred stock converting to common stock at the rate of $0.15 per share.
In November 2011, the Company closed on $1,500,000 of the total proposed sale price, issuing 100,000 shares of preferred stock
to a limited partnership managed by Ashton. The agreement was finalized in November and the Company began consolidating the equipment
from its various locations in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. The Company later decided not to acquire the remaining Ashton assets.
On February 7, 2012 (subsequent to the period covered by this report), the Company sold all oilfield machinery and equipment it
had purchased from Ashton Oilfield Services in its November 2011 acquisition for $500,000 cash.
On October 14, 2011, the Company entered
into a production agreement with BlueRock Energy Capital II, LLC (“BlueRock”). Under the production agreement,
BlueRock has agreed to fund Adino with $410,000 for the drilling of five oil wells on the Leonard and Felix Brandt leases and for
working capital. Under the terms of the production agreement, BlueRock will be entitled to 65% of the net revenue interest
of the wells until BlueRock receives $410,000 plus an 18% return on investment. These monies are to be paid as the Company
receives production payments on the new wells. After payment of this amount, BlueRock will receive a 3% overriding royalty
interest on the wells.
Drilling began on the BlueRock five well
program (one well on the Felix Brandt lease and four wells on the Leonard lease) in November 2011. Drilling was completed by December
31, 2011 with well completion expected in 2012.
The Company believes that its focused efforts in exploration
and production during 2011 were very successful. We plan to continue the path of lease acquisition and development resulting in
increased production and reserve interests in 2012 and beyond.
Fuel Storage Operations
With the Company’s focus on oil and
gas exploration and production, the Company decided to sell its interest in IFL. To that end, on February 7, 2012 (subsequent to
the period covered by this report), Adino sold all of its membership interest in IFL to Pomisu XXI S.L. (“Buyer”).
The purchase price to be paid by the Buyer is $900,000, paid in two installments with the first installment of $244,824.97 paid
on February 7, 2012, and the balance due not later than May 7, 2012. The balance of the purchase price shall be computed as follows:
$900,000 minus $244,842.97 (initial installment) minus $655,157 of IFL liabilities assumed and settled by the Buyer. The liabilities
included $106,520 in accounts payable, $1,500 to a related party, $110,000 in retained customer deposit and $437,155 for the G
J Capital lawsuit judgment (see Item 3 for a more thorough discussion).
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS / ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Proposals and proceedings that might affect
the oil and gas industry are periodically presented to Congress and state legislatures and commissions. We cannot predict
when or whether any such proposals may become effective. The petroleum industry is heavily regulated. There
is no assurance that the regulatory approach currently pursued by various agencies will continue indefinitely. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, we currently do not anticipate that compliance with existing federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations,
will have a material or significantly adverse effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
We are subject to various types of regulation
at the federal, state and local levels. This regulation includes requiring permits for drilling wells, maintaining
bonding requirements in order to drill or operate wells and regulating the location of wells, the method of drilling and casing
of wells, the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled, the plugging and abandoning of wells and
the disposal of fluids used or generated in connection with operations. Our operations are also subject to various conservation
laws and regulations. These include the regulation of the size of drilling and spacing units or proration units and
the density of wells which may be drilled and the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties. In addition,
state conservation laws sometimes establish maximum rates of production from oil and natural gas wells, generally prohibit the
venting or flaring of natural gas and impose certain requirements regarding the ratability of production. The effect
of these regulations may limit the amount of oil and natural gas we can produce from our wells in a given state and may limit the
number of wells or the locations at which we can drill.
Currently, there are no federal, state
or local laws that regulate the price for our sales of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids or condensate. However,
the rates charged and terms and conditions for the movement of gas in interstate commerce through certain intrastate pipelines
and production area hubs are subject to regulation under the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, as amended. Pipeline and
hub construction activities are, to a limited extent, also subject to regulations under the Natural Gas Act of 1938, as amended. While
these controls do not apply directly to us, their effect on natural gas markets can be significant in terms of competition and
cost of transportation services, which in turn can have a substantial impact on our profitability and costs of doing business. Additional
proposals and proceedings that might affect the natural gas and crude oil extraction industry are considered from time to time
by Congress, and state regulatory bodies. We cannot predict when or if any such proposals might become effective and
their effect, if any, on our operations. We do not believe that we will be affected by any action taken in any materially
different respect from other crude oil and natural gas producers, gatherers and marketers with whom we compete.
State regulation of gathering facilities
generally includes various safety, environmental and in some circumstances, nondiscriminatory take requirements. This
regulation has not generally been applied against producers and gatherers of natural gas and crude oil to the same extent as processors,
although natural gas and crude oil gathering may receive greater regulatory scrutiny in the future.
Our oil and natural gas production and
saltwater disposal operations and our processing, handling and disposal of hazardous materials, such as hydrocarbons and naturally
occurring radioactive materials are subject to stringent environmental regulation. Compliance with environmental regulations
is generally required as a condition to obtaining drilling permits. State inspectors frequently inspect regulated facilities
and review records required to be maintained for document compliance. We could incur significant costs, including cleanup
costs resulting from a release of hazardous material, third-party claims for property damage and personal injuries, fines and sanctions,
as a result of any violations or liabilities under environmental or other laws. Changes in or more stringent enforcement
of environmental laws could also result in additional operating costs and capital expenditures.
Our operations are also subject to numerous
federal, state, and local laws and regulations controlling the generation, use, storage, and discharge of materials into the environment
or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.
In the United States, the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), also known as "Superfund," and comparable
state statutes impose strict, joint, and several liability on certain classes of persons who are considered to have contributed
to the release of a "hazardous substance" into the environment. These persons include the owner or operator of a disposal
site or sites where a release occurred and companies that generated, disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances
released at the site. Under CERCLA, such persons or companies may be retroactively liable for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous
substances that have been released into the environment and for damages to natural resources, and it is common for neighboring
land owners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury, property damage, and recovery of response costs allegedly
caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA")
and comparable state statutes govern the disposal of "solid waste" and "hazardous waste" and authorize imposition
of substantial civil and criminal penalties for failing to prevent surface and subsurface pollution, as well as to control the
generation, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous waste generated by oil and gas operations.
Although CERCLA currently contains a "petroleum
exclusion" from the definitions of "hazardous substance," state laws affecting our operations impose cleanup liability
relating to petroleum and petroleum related products, including crude oil cleanups. In addition, although RCRA regulations currently
classify certain oilfield wastes which are uniquely associated with field operations as "non-hazardous," such exploration,
development and production wastes could be reclassified by regulation as hazardous wastes, thereby administratively making such
wastes subject to more stringent handling and disposal requirements.
We currently own or lease, or will own
or lease in the future, properties that have been used for the storage of petroleum products. Although we utilize standard industry
operating and disposal practices, hydrocarbons or other wastes may be disposed of or released on or under the properties owned
or leased by us or on or under other locations where such wastes have been taken for disposal. In addition, many of these properties
have been operated by third parties whose treatment and disposal or release of hydrocarbons or other wastes was not under our control.
These properties and the wastes disposed thereon may be subject to CERCLA, RCRA, and analogous state laws. Our operations are also
impacted by regulations governing the disposal of naturally occurring radioactive materials. The Company must comply with the Clean
Air Act and comparable state statutes, which prohibit the emissions of air contaminants, although a majority of our activities
are exempted under a standard exemption.
Federal regulations also require certain
owners and operators of facilities that store or otherwise handle oil to prepare and implement spill prevention, control and countermeasure
plans and spill response plans relating to possible discharge of oil into surface waters. The federal Oil Pollution Act ("OPA")
contains numerous requirements relating to prevention of, reporting of, and response to oil spills into waters of the United States.
For facilities that may affect state waters, OPA requires an operator to demonstrate $10 million in financial responsibility. State
laws mandate crude oil cleanup programs with respect to contaminated soil.
We are not currently involved in any administrative,
judicial or legal proceedings arising under domestic or foreign, federal, state, or local environmental protection laws and regulations,
or under federal or state common law, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2011, Adino and its
subsidiaries have one employee. We have consulting and management arrangements with our officers and have outsourced our fuel terminaling
operations to minimize payroll expense. We have contracts with 9 persons, including executive officers, non-executive officers,
secretarial and field personnel.
COMPETITION
We face competition from other oil and
natural gas companies in all aspects of our business, including acquisition of producing properties and oil and natural gas leases,
marketing of oil and natural gas, and obtaining goods, services and labor. Most of our competitors have substantially
larger financial and other resources than the Company. Factors that affect our ability to acquire producing properties
include available funds, available information about prospective properties and our limited number of employees. Competition
is also presented by alternative fuel sources including heating oil and other fossil fuels. Renewable energy sources
may become more competitive in the future.
The availability of a ready market for
and the price of any hydrocarbons produced will depend on many factors beyond our control including, but not limited to, the amount
of domestic production and imports of foreign oil and liquefied natural gas, the marketing of competitive fuels, the proximity
and capacity of natural gas pipelines, the availability of transportation and other market facilities, the demand for hydrocarbons,
the effect of federal and state regulation of allowable rates of production, taxation, the conduct of drilling operations and federal
regulation of crude oil and natural gas. In addition, the restructuring of the natural gas pipeline industry virtually
eliminated the gas purchasing activity of traditional interstate gas transmission pipeline buyers. Producers of natural
gas have therefore been required to develop new markets among gas marketing companies, end users of natural gas and local distribution
companies. All of these factors, together with economic factors in the marketing arena, generally affect the supply
of and/or demand for oil and natural gas and thus the prices available for sales of oil and natural gas.
FUTURE BUSINESS
Oil and Gas Exploration and Production
The Company believes that its focused efforts in exploration
and production during 2011 were very successful. We plan to continue the path of lease acquisition and development resulting in
increased production and reserve interests in 2012 and beyond.
Fuel Storage Operations
With the Company’s focus on oil and gas exploration and
production, the Company decided to sell its interest in IFL. To that end, on February 7, 2012 (subsequent to the period covered
by this report), Adino sold all of its membership interest in IFL to Pomisu XXI S.L. (“Buyer”). The purchase price
to be paid by the Buyer is $900,000, paid in two installments with the first installment of $244,824.97 paid on February 7, 2012,
and the balance due not later than May 7, 2012. The balance of the purchase price shall be computed as follows: $900,000 minus
$244,842.97 (initial installment) minus $655,157 of IFL liabilities assumed and settled by the Buyer. The liabilities included
$106,520 in accounts payable, $1,500 to a related party, $110,000 in retained customer deposit and $437,155 for the G J Capital
lawsuit judgment (see Item 3 for a more thorough discussion).
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Adino Corporate Offices
Adino’s executive offices are located
at 2500 Citywest Boulevard, Houston, Texas. These premises are leased on a month-to-month basis.
Oil and Gas Exploration and Production
Adino Exploration, LLC has regional headquarters
in Coleman, Texas. The Company has leased a dual bay warehouse facility with secure yard storage from the Coleman County
Economic Development Council. The warehouse includes a reception area, an office and a conference room
Fuel Storage Operations
IFL’s headquarters are located at
its fuel distribution terminal at 17617 Aldine Westfield Road, Houston, Texas. This terminal is leased from Lone Star Fuel Storage
and Transfer LLC for $31,855 per month. The terminal is situated on 10 ½ acres adjacent to, and to the west of the George
Bush International Airport (IAH). The terminal has 7 fuel storage tanks with a collective capacity of 163,349 barrels of product
(6,860,658 gallons). Auxiliary buildings containing 5,800 square feet are present. There are three loading bays for tanker trucks.
The terminal is configured to handle 20,000,000 gallons of motor fuel per month through the truck loading racks. Although
not currently connected, a six inch dedicated pipeline connects the terminal to IAH, capable of moving 22,000,000 gallons of jet
fuel per month through the pipeline to the airport.
Originally built between 1981 and 1988,
substantial renovation and improvement was done by two customers in 2000-2001. Adino’s management team acquired
the non-operational terminal in 2003. Adino’s management then brought the terminal up to code, passed all inspections
and acquired all licenses necessary for operations. In March 2006, the terminal opened with its first storage
customer, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of Harris County (Houston’s mass transit authority). From
2006 to 2008, additional customers were added and substantial improvements were made to the property and facilities. Security
was enhanced and office buildings and grounds were improved. The loading rack had a third lane added to accommodate
additional customer load. Larger, more efficient pumps were installed and the rack was configured to handle the newly
mandated ultra low sulfur diesel.
Kerosene, jet fuel, gasoline and diesel oil can be brought to
the terminal via TEPPCO and Magellan pipelines. Jet fuel can be provided to IAH via pipeline and by truck to other airports. However,
IFL is not currently pursuing the aviation market. Gasoline and diesel fuel are shipped out by tanker truck.
The property is not located in a flood
hazard area. There are no known soil or subsoil conditions which would adversely affect construction. Private well and septic systems
are in place and in sufficient capacity to support the terminal. Neither functional nor external obsolescence affect
the property.
As stated earlier, IFL was sold after the
period covered by this report, and as a result, as of February 7, 2012, the Company no longer leases the IFL fuel terminal. The
purchase price to be paid by the Buyer is $900,000, paid in two installments with the first installment of $244,824.97 paid on
February 7, 2012, and the balance due not later than May 7, 2012. The balance of the purchase price shall be computed as follows:
$900,000 minus $244,842.97 (initial installment) minus $655,157 of IFL liabilities assumed and settled by the Buyer. The liabilities
included $106,520 in accounts payable, $1,500 to a related party, $110,000 in retained customer deposit and $437,155 for the G
J Capital lawsuit judgment (see Item 3 for a more thorough discussion).
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
G J Capital, Ltd. v. Adino Energy Corporation, et. al.
On March 15, 2010, G J Capital, Ltd. (“G
J Capital”) filed suit against Adino Energy Corporation and IFL in the 129th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas.
G J Capital’s claim relates to a repurchase agreement whereby IFL sold to G J Capital certain assets for $250,000 and retained
the ability to repurchase the assets in sixty days by paying to G J Capital the amount of $275,000. G J Capital’s petition
alleged claims of breach of contract, money had and received, and fraudulent misrepresentation. G J Capital later amended its petition
to allege that certain of Adino’s directors and officers (Mr. Timothy Byrd and Mr. Sonny Wooley) fraudulently transferred
assets of Adino and/or IFL. G J Capital has also alleged that Mr. Wooley and Mr. Byrd are the
alter ego
of Adino
and IFL, and/or that Adino and/or IFL are
alter egos
of one another. G J Capital also alleged fraudulent conduct by one
or more of the defendants.
Adino, IFL, Mr. Byrd and Mr. Wooley countersued
G J Capital and filed third-party claims against CapNet Securities Corporation (“CapNet”), Daniel L. Ritz, Jr. (“Ritz”),
Gulf Coast Fuels, Inc. (“Gulf Coast”) and Paul Groat (“Groat”), alleging that they conspired to damage
IFL and Adino by involving it in the transaction described above. In this action, Adino, IFL, Mr. Byrd and Mr. Wooley contended
that Ritz, CapNet, Gulf Coast, and Groat were involved together for the common, improper scheme to cause IFL immense financial
hardship so that Gulf Coast could acquire the fuel terminal currently leased by IFL at an unfairly low price; that as part of this
conspiracy they also effected a settlement of the Gulf Coast claim (which, if true, would mean that G J Capital acquired no claim
at all against any of the defendants); and that in addition or in the alternative, even if G J Capital acquired some cognizable
interest against IFL, Adino, IFL, Byrd and Wooley are entitled to indemnification by and contribution by Ritz, CapNet, Gulf Coast,
and Groat.
In December 2011, G J Capital dismissed
its claims against Mr. Byrd and Mr. Wooley. Also in December 2011, the court rendered judgment for G J Capital and against Adino
and IFL in the amount of $250,000, plus $152,987.50 in attorneys’ fees, $9,300.00 in court costs, plus $20,616.44 in prejudgment
interest. Interest will continue to accrue on the judgment at the rate of $34.25 until satisfied. The Company did not appeal this
judgment. The Company accrued all fees and interest related to the judgment as of December 31, 2011. The total accrual expensed
to IFL was $437,155. This amount was assumed by the buyer of IFL in the February 2012 sale. (See Item 2 and Note 22 for a thorough
discussion of the IFL sale and terms).

DIVIDENDS
We have not paid any dividends on our common
or preferred stock in the past two fiscal years. We presently intend to retain future earnings to support our growth. Any payment
of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon the amount of funds legally available, our earnings, financial condition,
capital requirements, and any other factors which our Board of Directors deems relevant.
In August 2010, we entered into a convertible
promissory note which limits us from paying or declaring a dividend on our common stock.
During 2011, the Company authorized two new series of Class
B Preferred Stock, Series 1 and Series 3. The Class B Series 1 shares are not entitled to dividend payment. The holders of Class
B Preferred Stock Series 3 shall be entitled to receive a quarterly dividend equal to 2.5% of the issue price of each share ($35.00).
The dividends shall be paid quarterly, when and if declared payable by the Company’s Board of Directors from funds legally
available for the payment thereof. If in any quarter the Company does not pay any accrued dividends, such dividends shall cumulate.
Interest shall not be paid on cumulated dividends. Each share of Class B Preferred Stock Series 3 shall rank on the same parity
with each other share of preferred stock, irrespective of series, with respect to dividends at the respective fixed or maximum
rate for such series.

PART II
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Item 6 is not required for a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion of our financial
condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated
Financial Statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This report contains a number of forward-looking
statements, which reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance including statements
regarding the Company's projections. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. In this report, the words "anticipates",
"believes", "expects", "intends", "future", "plans", "targets" and
similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on the forward-looking
statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these
forward-looking statements, to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date hereof. Additionally, these statements
are based on certain assumptions that may prove to be erroneous and are subject to certain risks including, but not limited to,
the Company's dependence on limited cash resources, and its dependence on certain key personnel within the Company. Accordingly,
actual results may differ, possibly materially, from the predictions contained herein.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The Company's discussion and analysis of
its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses,
and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company
bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
These estimates and assumptions provide a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions,
and these differences may be material.
Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of
Adino Energy Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries Intercontinental Fuels, LLC, Adino Exploration, LLC, Adino Drilling,
LLC (sold 3/1/2011), PetroGreen Energy LLC, and AACM3, LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
References to Adino or the Company include the above subsidiaries.
Revenue Recognition
IFL earns revenue from both throughput
and storage fees on a monthly basis. The Company recognizes revenue from throughput fees in the month that the services are provided
based upon contractually determined rates. The Company recognizes storage fee revenue in the month that the service is provided
in accordance with our customer contracts. Adino Exploration earns revenue from the sale of oil.
As described above, in accordance with
the requirement of current guidance, the Company recognizes revenue when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (contracts)
(2) delivery has occurred (monthly) (3) the seller’s price is fixed or determinable (per the customer’s contract or
current market price) and (4) collectability is reasonably assured (based upon our credit policy).
The Company has performed an analysis and
determined that gross revenue reporting is appropriate, since (1) the Company is the primary obligor in the transaction (2) the
Company has latitude in establishing price and (3) the Company changes the product and performs part of the service.
Investments
The Company from time to time maintains
a portfolio of marketable investment securities for deposit requirements associated with our oil and gas operator licenses. The
securities have an investment grade and a term to earliest maturity generally of ten months to over one year and include certificates
of deposit. These securities are carried at cost, which approximates market. The Company’s securities are classified as held-to-maturity
because the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
Oil and Gas Producing Activities
The Company follows the full cost method
of accounting for oil and gas operations whereby all costs associated with the exploration and development of oil and gas properties
are initially capitalized into a single cost center (“full cost pool”). Such costs include land acquisition costs,
geological and geophysical expenses, carrying charges on non-producing properties and costs of drilling directly related to acquisition
and exploration activities. Proceeds from property sales are generally credited to the full cost pool, with no gain or loss recognized,
unless such a sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and the proved reserves attributable to
these costs. A significant alteration would typically involve a sale of 25% or more of the proved reserves related to a full cost
pool.
Depletion of exploration and production
costs and depreciation of production equipment is computed using the units of production method based upon estimated proved oil
and gas reserves as determined by consulting engineers and prepared (annually) by independent petroleum engineers. Costs included
in the depletion base to be amortized include (a) all proved capitalized costs including capitalized asset retirement costs, net
of estimated salvage values, less accumulated depletion, (b) estimated future development cost to be incurred in developing proved
reserves; and (c) estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs, net of estimated salvage values that have not been included as
capitalized costs because they have not yet been capitalized in asset retirement costs. The costs of unproved properties are withheld
from the depletion base until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. The unproved properties
are reviewed quarterly for impairment. When proved reserves are assigned or the unproved property is considered to be impaired,
the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to the costs subject to depletion calculations.
Derivatives
The Company does not use derivative instruments
to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at
their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially
recorded at its fair value and is then revalued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits
to income. For option−based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Lattice model to value the derivative
instruments. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities
or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance
sheet as current or non−current based on whether or not cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within
12 months of the balance sheet date.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company accounts for its asset retirement
obligations by recording the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation recognized for the period in which it
was incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value could be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part
of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The increase in carrying value of a property associated with the capitalization
of an asset retirement cost is included in proved oil and gas properties in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company depletes
the amount added to proved oil and gas property costs. The future cash outflows associated with settling the asset retirement obligation
that have been accrued in the accompanying balance sheets are excluded from the ceiling test calculations. The Company also depletes
the estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs, net of salvage values, associated with future development activities that have
not yet been capitalized as asset retirement obligations. These costs are also included in the ceiling test calculations. The asset
retirement liability is allocated to operating expense using a systematic and rational method.
Stock-based Compensation
We record stock-based compensation as a
charge to earnings, net of the estimated impact of forfeited awards. As such, we recognize stock-based compensation cost only for
those stock-based awards that are estimated to ultimately vest over their requisite service period, based on the vesting provisions
of the individual grants. The process of estimating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards and recognizing stock-based
compensation cost over their requisite service periods involves significant assumptions and judgments.
We estimate the fair value of stock option
awards on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model which requires management to make certain assumptions regarding:
(i) the expected volatility in the market price of the Company’s common stock; (ii) dividend yield; (iii) risk-free interest
rates; and (iv) the period of time employees are expected to hold the award prior to exercise (referred to as the expected holding
period). The expected volatility under this valuation model is based on the current and historical implied volatilities from
traded options of our common stock. The dividend yield is based on the approved annual dividend rate in effect and current market
price of the underlying common stock at the time of grant. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve
in effect at the time of grant for bonds with maturities ranging from one month to ten years. The expected holding period of the
awards granted is estimated using the historical exercise behavior of employees. In addition, we estimate the expected impact of
forfeited awards and recognize stock-based compensation cost only for those awards expected to vest. We use historical experience
to estimate projected forfeitures. If actual forfeiture rates are materially different from our estimates, stock-based compensation
expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period. We periodically review actual forfeiture
experience and revise our estimates, as considered necessary. The cumulative effect on current and prior periods of a change in
the estimated forfeiture rate is recognized as compensation cost in earnings in the period of the revision.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We evaluate the recoverability and measure
the potential impairment of our goodwill annually. The annual impairment test is a two-step process that begins with the estimation
of the fair value of the reporting unit. The first step screens for potential impairment and the second step measures the amount
of the impairment, if any. Our estimate of fair value considers the financial projections and future prospects of our business,
including its growth opportunities and likely operational improvements. As part of the first step to assess potential impairment,
we compare our estimate of fair value for the reporting unit to the book value of the reporting unit. We determine the fair value
of the reporting units based on the income approach. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit
based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. If the book value is greater than our estimate of fair value, we would
then proceed to the second step to measure the impairment, if any. The second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill
with its carrying value. The implied fair value is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the
assets and liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of
the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit
over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting
unit’s goodwill is greater than its implied fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in the amount of the excess.
We believe our estimation methods are reasonable and reflect common valuation practices.
On a quarterly basis, we perform a review
of our business to determine if events or changes in circumstances have occurred which could have a material adverse effect on
the fair value of the Company and its goodwill. If such events or changes in circumstances were deemed to have occurred, we would
perform an impairment test of goodwill as of the end of the quarter, consistent with the annual impairment test performed at the
end of our fiscal year on December 31, and record any noted impairment loss.
The Company sold its interest in Intercontinental
Fuels, LLC on February 7, 2012. As the Company knew of this transaction as of the date of issuance of the Company’s financial
statements, we recorded goodwill impairment to the extent of the loss to be recognized on the transaction, or $4,827.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability
approach to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future
tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted
an accounting standard which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements. This
standard provides guidance on recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements uncertain tax positions
that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. See Note 20 for further information related to the Company’s
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.
Discontinued Operations
The results of operations of a
component of an entity
that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale is reported in discontinued operations
if both of the following conditions are met:
a. The operations and cash flows
of the component have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction.
b. The entity will not have any
significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction.
In a period in which a component of an
entity either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the income statement of the Company for current and prior
periods will report the results of operations of the component, including any gain or loss recognized, in discontinued operations.
The results of operations of a component classified as held for sale shall be reported in discontinued operations in the period(s)
in which they occur.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company sold its
wholly-owned subsidiary, IFL, as of February 2012. With knowledge of sale prior to the filing date of this report, the revenues
and expenses from that subsidiary have been shown as net income from discontinued operations. The Company’s net income in
2010 has also been separated from the consolidated entity and presented in discontinued operations for comparison purposes.
Revenue:
The
Company’s revenues were $277,917 and $58,107 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s
acquisition of the oil and gas leases during July 2010 (as a result of the Petro Energy acquisition) and the subsequent drilling
operations contributed $58,107 in revenue during the last 6 months of 2010. In 2011, revenues from oil and gas operations
increased substantially to $331,024 with additional drilling and workover projects. Royalty expense of $53,107 has been netted
from the total amount presented for 2011.
Cost of Product
Sales:
The Company’s oil and gas segment pays royalty expenses that are recorded as cost of product sales.
In 2010, royalty expense was relatively low, at $8,902, primarily due the fact that the company’s oil and gas production
only occurred from July through December, 2010. In 2011, cost of product sales totaled $9,407. The Company saw significant increases
in its production on the Felix Brandt and James Leonard leases, resulting in royalty expenses of $44,814, which are netted with
oil and gas revenues. The balance of the 2011 cost of product sales were attributed to amounts accrued and due BlueRock for their
December production payments. See Note 14 for a more detailed discussion of the BlueRock financing arrangement.
Payroll and Related
Expenses:
With the addition of Adino Exploration on July 1, 2010, the Company hired several employees to operate its
leases. Additionally, the Company has added payroll for one employee at its corporate office. These employee additions
result in payroll expense of $218,718 and $90,213 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
General and Administrative:
The
Company’s expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $221,803 and $111,350, respectively, an increase of
$110,453 or 99%. In July 2010, the Company set up an office in Coleman, Texas to facilitate the development of its oil and gas
leases, resulting in additional office expense of $42,845 and $17,193 in insurance expenses for the six months ended December 31,
2010. The same expenses for the full year, 2011 were $44,510 in office expense and $29,996 in insurance expense.
With increased production,
the Company experienced an increase in severance tax from $3,979 in 2010 to $13,352 in 2011. As production and drilling activity
increased, the Company’s travel expenses were escalated from $52,026 in 2010 to $90,678 in 2011. The Company incurred
$30,000 in bad debt expense in September 2010 but had no corresponding expense in 2011.
Legal and Professional:
Legal
and professional expense was $320,928 and $209,251 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Legal fees increased
primarily due to increased expense related to the G J Capital lawsuit. See Item 3 of the Company’s financial statements for
additional information regarding the Company’s legal and professional fees.
Consulting Expense:
The
Company’s consulting expenses were $899,815 and $66,046 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a significant
increase. The Company retained the services of a consultant, geologist and petroleum engineer during 2011 to assist in property
development, resulting in an increase in 2011 expense over 2010 of $131,350. The Company also retained a marketing consultant in
2011, resulting in non-cash expense of $225,750 for services rendered.
Depreciation Expense:
Depreciation expense was $95,992 and $51,732 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase
is due to the addition of machinery and equipment through the Petro Energy acquisition and $3,407 in asset retirement accretion.
The Company has also seen a significant increase in its depletion expense, as production increases. Depletion expense for the years
ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $52,536 and $20,724, respectively. See Notes 5 and 9 of the Company’s financial statements
for additional information regarding these assets and the corresponding depreciation and depletion.
Impairment Expense:
Current
guidance requires that unamortized capitalized costs (less certain adjustments) for each cost center not exceed the
cost ceiling, which is defined as the present value of future net revenues from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves
(plus certain adjustments). If adjusted unamortized costs capitalized within a cost center exceed the cost center ceiling, the
excess is charged to expenses and separately disclosed during the period it occurs. The Company evaluated the carrying cost of
the applicable oil producing properties and determined that the asset should be reduced by $47,481 for the year ended December
31, 2010. There was no such impairment required for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Operating Supplies:
Supplies expense was $34,382 and $24,949 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase is due to a
full year of exploration and production operations in 2011 versus only six months in 2010.
Interest Income:
Interest
income was $46,612 and $67,568 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company has agreed to an amendment
on the $750,000 note receivable with Mr. Sundlun. This amendment extended the maturity date of the note to August 2011
at no additional interest past the original maturity date of November 6, 2008. Due to the lack of interest expense,
the Company recognized a discount on the note and amortizes that discount through the note’s maturity date. The decrease
in income from 2010 to 2011 is a result of the discount being fully amortized at July 31, 2011.
Interest Expense:
Interest
expense was $304,314 and $170,802 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increase of $133,512 or 78%.
Interest expense increased for 2011 due to the Company entering into several convertible promissory notes payable to Asher, resulting
in 8% annual interest to the Company. The Company also entered into a promissory note payable to BlueRock, resulting in 18% annual
interest to the Company, and a promissory note payable to the Schwartz Group, resulting in 6% annual interest to the Company. Interest
expense consistent between 2010 and 2011 are for the notes to Mr. Sundlun and vehicle financing. See Note 14 of the Company’s
financial statements for additional information regarding interest expense.
Gain (Loss) on
Derivative:
The Company entered into a promissory note that permits conversion of the note into shares of the Company’s
common stock at a discount to the market price. This discount to market conversion feature is treated as a derivative for accounting
purposes. This note also caused two other financial instruments held by the Company to be considered derivatives. The Company has
calculated the change in value of those instruments for the year ended December 31, 2011 for a gain of $10,850, compared with a
loss of $67,673 for the year ended December 31, 2010. See Note 16 of the Company’s financial statements for a more thorough
discussion of this item.
Gain on Change
in Fair Value of Clawback
: A component of the Petro Energy acquisition agreement gave the former owners of these companies
the option to repurchase for $1.00 the assets held by the companies as of July 1, 2010 if the Company’s common stock price
fails to reach $0.25 per share within three years of the original acquisition date. This contract clawback provision was valued at
$386,739 and $337,354 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Other Expense:
In
2011, the Company had Other Expense of $14,542. Of this total, $4,827 was for goodwill impairment associated with the IFL Sale.
The Company also had with no corresponding expense in 2010.
Net Income/Loss
:
The Company had net losses of $1,308,673 and $277,802 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increased
loss was primarily due to increased legal expense and the judgment associated with the GJ Capital lawsuit and increased office,
travel, payroll and depreciation expenses for the Company’s oil and gas subsidiary. Of the totals, net income
contributed by IFL was $531,580 and $108,583, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. See Note 22 for a detailed
statement of operations. The Company also sold its wholly owned subsidiary, Adino Drilling, LLC, to a related party on March 31,
2011, resulting in a loss from discontinued operations of $252,524, as the note receivable of $500,000 was disallowed for reporting
purposes. See Note 21 for a more thorough discussion of the sale.
Cash:
The
Company’s available cash increased at December 31, 2011 to $381,945 up from $285,172 at December 31, 2010. In December 2011,
the Company received additional investment from members of the Schwartz group of $150,000. The Company also had deposits from the
BlueRock financing for well completion. Of the cash on hand, $70,800 was reserved for tax payments by IFL and $50,000 was on deposit
for a Texas oil and gas operator license held by Adino Exploration.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company’s access to financing
improved somewhat during 2010 and 2011, due to several convertible notes that we issued to two groups of private investors. As
a result of these private note issuances, the Company raised $1,212,380. The Company is not required to repay most of this financing
until the third quarter of 2013, thereby providing the Company a longer period to earn the money necessary to pay off the notes.
The Company’s available cash increased
at December 31, 2011 to $381,945 up from $282,272 at December 31, 2010. In December 2011, the Company received additional investment
from members of the Schwartz group of $150,000. The Company also had deposits from the BlueRock financing for well completion.
Of the cash on hand, $70,800 was reserved for tax payments by IFL and $50,000 was on deposit for a Texas oil and gas operator license
held by Adino Exploration
As of December 31, 2011, the Company has
a working capital deficit of $4,693,961 and total stockholders’ deficit of $2,716,051. These factors raise substantial
doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern
depends upon its ability to obtain funding for its working capital deficit. Of the outstanding current liabilities at December
31, 2011, there are several non-cash items: , $386,739 is due to a non-cash clawback provision and $136,894 is attributed
to a derivative liability. Additionally, $1,013,034 of the outstanding current liability is due to certain officers
and directors for prior years’ accrued compensation. They have agreed in writing to postpone payment if necessary,
should the Company need capital it would otherwise pay these individuals. The Company plans to satisfy current year
and future cash flow requirements through its existing, growing business operations. The Company also hopes to pursue merger and
acquisition opportunities including the expansion of existing business opportunities, primarily in the oil and gas exploration
and production sector.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Adino Energy Corporation
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Adino Energy Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements
of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Adino Energy Corporation as of
December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period described above in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses
from operations and maintains a working capital deficit. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability
and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern. See note 2 to the financial statements for further information regarding this uncertainty.

ADINO ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Background
Adino was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Montana on August 13, 1981, under the name Golden Maple Mining and Leaching Company, Inc. In 1985, the Company ceased
its mining operations and discontinued all business operations in 1990. The Company then acquired Consolidated Medical Management,
Inc. (“CMMI”) and kept the CMMI name. The Company initially focused its efforts on the continuation of the business
services offered by CMMI. These services focused on the delivery of turn-key management services for the home health industry,
predominately in south Louisiana. The Company exited the medical business in December 2000. In August 2001, the Company decided
to refocus on the oil and gas industry. In 2006, we decided to cease our oil and gas activities and focus on becoming a fuel company.
The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary,
Intercontinental Fuels, LLC (“IFL”), a Texas limited liability company, was founded in 2003. Adino first acquired 75%
of IFL’s membership interests in 2003. The Company acquired 100% ownership of IFL shortly thereafter.
In January 2008, the Company changed its
name to Adino Energy Corporation. We believe that this name better reflects our current and future business activities, as we plan
to continue focusing on the energy industry.
As of July 1, 2010, the Company acquired
PetroGreen Energy LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, and AACM3, LLC, a Texas limited liability company d/b/a Petro 2000 Exploration
Co. (together "Petro Energy"). Petro Energy is a licensed Texas oilfield operator currently operating 11 wells on two
leases covering approximately 300 acres in Coleman County, Texas. Petro Energy also owns a drilling rig, two service rigs and associated
tools and equipment. The Company also acquired the operator license held by the principal of Petro Energy.
After the acquisition of Petro Energy,
the Company created two wholly owned subsidiaries: Adino Exploration, LLC (“Adino Exploration”) and Adino
Drilling, LLC (“Adino Drilling”). All oil and gas leases were transferred from the Petro Energy companies
to Adino Exploration and future oil and gas exploration acquisitions and activity are to be operated through this company. The
large drilling rig acquired in the Petro Energy transaction and other associated drilling machinery and equipment were transferred
to Adino Drilling.
On March 31, 2011, the Company sold the
membership interest of Adino Drilling, LLC to a related party. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company realized a reduction
in accrued liability of $100,000 and acquired a $500,000 six year, 5.24% interest note receivable, for a total sale price of $600,000.
The sale resulted in a gain to the Company of $247,376; however the transaction’s related party note of $500,000 is not allowed
for reporting purposes, therefore the Company has a reportable loss of $252,624.
On or about October 12, 2011 Adino signed
a letter of intent to purchase all of the assets of Ashton, AOS 1A, and AOS 1-B. The proposed purchase price for the assets was
$6,000,000 in face value of convertible preferred stock of the Company, with the preferred stock converting to common stock at
the rate of $0.15 per share. The parties agreed that partial closing of the purchase would occur once the sellers received clear
title to the assets subject to the agreement. The first partial closing of purchase occurred on November 3, 2011, and the Company
issued 100,000 shares of Adino's Class "B" Preferred Stock Series 1 (the "Preferred Stock"), as follows: 95,534
shares to AOS 1A, and 4,466 shares to AOS 1-B. The Preferred Stock shall be convertible into common shares at AOS 1A or AOS 1-B's
option at any time after six months, provided that (a) immediately after the first six months, only 25% of the Preferred Stock
may be converted to common stock, and (b) each month thereafter, only up to 12.5% of the Preferred Stock may be converted to common
stock. The Preferred Stock shall have other terms as determined by Adino's Board of Directors. The number of shares of Preferred
Stock was chosen to conform to the agreed upon value of $1,500,000 for the assets. The Company later decided not to acquire the
remaining Ashton assets. On February 7, 2012 (subsequent to the period covered by this report), the Company sold all oilfield machinery
and equipment it had purchased from Ashton Oilfield Services in its November 2011 acquisition for $500,000 cash.
With the Company’s focus on oil and
gas exploration and production, the Company decided to sell its interest in IFL. To that end, on February 7, 2012 (subsequent to
the period covered by this report), Adino sold all of its membership interest in IFL to Pomisu XXI S.L., for $900,000.
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 reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include
all of the assets, liabilities and results of operations of subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling interest. All significant
inter-company accounts and transactions among consolidated entities have been eliminated.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which subject the
Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.
The Company maintains its cash in well-known
banks selected based upon management’s assessment of the banks’ financial stability. Balances rarely exceed the $250,000
federal depository insurance limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on deposits and believes the risk of loss is minimal.
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and
2010, we had no reserve for doubtful accounts as all of our receivables were collected early in the subsequent period and had no
expectation of loss. Management assesses the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the financial strength of our
customers, historical experience with our customers and the aging of the amounts due.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We
had no cash equivalents at either December 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.
Investments
The Company from time to time maintains
a portfolio of marketable investment securities for deposit requirements associated with our oil and gas operator licenses. The
securities have an investment grade and a term to earliest maturity generally of ten months to over one year and include certificates
of deposit. These securities are carried at cost, which approximates market. The Company’s securities are classified as held-to-maturity
because the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
Other Assets
Supplies consisting of equipment and parts
to be used for future drilling projects and repair to existing wells, are stated at cost. As the supplies are assigned
to a particular project, they are then capitalized or expensed, accordingly. Supplies are evaluated at each balance
sheet date for obsolescence and impairment.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at
cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from
three to fifteen years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the original estimated economic useful
lives of the applicable assets are capitalized. Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as
incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts,
and any gain or loss is included in operations.
Oil and Gas Producing Activities
The Company follows the full cost method
of accounting for oil and gas operations whereby all costs associated with the exploration and development of oil and gas properties
are initially capitalized into a single cost center (“full cost pool”). Such costs include land acquisition costs,
geological and geophysical expenses, carrying charges on non-producing properties and costs of drilling directly related to acquisition
and exploration activities. Proceeds from property sales are generally credited to the full cost pool, with no gain or loss recognized,
unless such a sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and the proved reserves attributable to
these costs. A significant alteration would typically involve a sale of 25% or more of the proved reserves related to a full cost
pool.
Depletion of exploration and production
costs and depreciation of production equipment is computed using the units of production method based upon estimated proved oil
and gas reserves as determined by consulting engineers and prepared (annually) by independent petroleum engineers. Costs included
in the depletion base to be amortized include (a) all proved capitalized costs including capitalized asset retirement costs, net
of estimated salvage values, less accumulated depletion, (b) estimated future development cost to be incurred in developing proved
reserves; and (c) estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs, net of estimated salvage values that have not been included as
capitalized costs because they have not yet been capitalized in asset retirement costs. The costs of unproved properties are withheld
from the depletion base until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. The unproved properties
are reviewed quarterly for impairment. When proved reserves are assigned or the unproved property is considered to be impaired,
the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to the costs subject to depletion calculations.
Current guidance requires that unamortized
capitalized costs (less certain adjustments) for each cost center not exceed the cost ceiling, which is defined as the
present value of future net revenues from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves (plus certain adjustments). If adjusted
unamortized costs capitalized within a cost center exceed the cost center ceiling, the excess is charged to expenses and separately
disclosed during the period it occurs. The Company evaluates the carrying cost of the applicable oil producing properties for any
impairment as required.
Derivatives
The Company does not use derivative instruments
to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at
their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially
recorded at its fair value and is then revalued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits
to income. For option−based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the lattice model to value the derivative
instruments. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities
or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance
sheet as current or non−current based on whether or not cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within
12 months of the balance sheet date.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company accounts for its asset retirement
obligations by recording the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation recognized for the period in which it
was incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value could be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part
of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The increase in carrying value of a property associated with the capitalization
of an asset retirement cost is included in proved oil and gas properties in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company depletes
the amount added to proved oil and gas property costs. The future cash outflows associated with settling the asset retirement obligation
that have been accrued in the accompanying balance sheets are excluded from the ceiling test calculations. The Company also depletes
the estimated dismantlement and abandonment costs, net of salvage values, associated with future development activities that have
not yet been capitalized as asset retirement obligations. These costs are also included in the ceiling test calculations. Accretion
of the asset retirement liability is allocated to operating expense using the discount method.
Revenue Recognition
IFL earns revenue from throughput and storage
fees on a monthly basis. The Company recognizes revenue from throughput fees in the month that the services are provided based
upon contractually determined rates. The Company recognizes storage fee revenue in the month that the service is provided in accordance
with our customer contracts.
As described above, in accordance with
the requirement of current guidance, the Company recognizes revenue when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (contracts)
(2) delivery has occurred (monthly) (3) the seller’s price is fixed or determinable (per the customer’s contract or
current market price) and (4) collectability is reasonably assured (based upon our credit policy).
The Company has performed an analysis and
determined that gross revenue reporting is appropriate, since (1) the Company is the primary obligor in the transaction (2) the
Company has latitude in establishing price and (3) the Company provides the product and performs part of the service.
Adino Exploration earns revenue from the
sale of oil. The Company recognizes oil, gas and natural gas condensate revenue in the period of delivery. Settlement
for oil sales occurs 30 days after the oil has been sold; and settlement for gas sales would occur 60 days after the gas had been
sold. The Company recognizes revenue when an arrangement exists, the product or service has been provided, the sales
price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability
approach to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future
tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted
an accounting standard which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements. This
standard provides guidance on recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements uncertain tax positions
that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return.
Income (Loss) Per Share
Current guidance requires earnings per
share (“EPS”) to be computed and reported as both basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents (convertible notes and interest on the notes,
stock awards and stock options) outstanding during the period. Dilutive EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
options to purchase common stock were exercised for shares of common stock. The dilutive effect of convertible
instruments on earnings per share is not presented in the consolidated statements of operations for periods with a net loss.
Stock-Based Compensation
We record stock-based compensation as a
charge to earnings, net of the estimated impact of forfeited awards. As such, we recognize stock-based compensation cost only for
those stock-based awards that are estimated to ultimately vest over their requisite service period, based on the vesting provisions
of the individual grants. The process of estimating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards and recognizing stock-based
compensation cost over their requisite service periods involves significant assumptions and judgments.
We estimate the fair value of stock option
awards on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model which requires management to make certain assumptions regarding:
(i) the expected volatility in the market price of the Company’s common stock; (ii) dividend yield; (iii) risk-free interest
rates; and (iv) the period of time employees are expected to hold the award prior to exercise (referred to as the expected holding
period). The dividend yield is based on the approved annual dividend rate in effect and current market price of the underlying
common stock at the time of grant. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time
of grant for bonds with maturities ranging from one month to ten years. The expected holding period of the awards granted is estimated
using the historical exercise behavior of employees. In addition, we estimate the expected impact of forfeited awards and recognize
stock-based compensation cost only for those awards expected to vest. We use historical experience to estimate projected forfeitures.
If actual forfeiture rates are materially different from our estimates, stock-based compensation expense could be significantly
different from what we have recorded in the current period. We periodically review actual forfeiture experience and revise our
estimates, as considered necessary. The cumulative effect on current and prior periods of a change in the estimated forfeiture
rate is recognized as compensation cost in earnings in the period of the revision.
The Company has granted options and warrants
to purchase Adino’s common stock. These instruments have been valued using the Black-Scholes model.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In the event that facts and circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed by comparing
the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or the asset’s estimated fair value to the asset’s
carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow is required.
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and
2010, Adino evaluated and determined that no impairment was warranted on the fixed assets of the Company. Additionally,
no impairment was required on the oil and gas assets of the Company. There was no change to the impairment analysis
performed at the December 31, 2010 audit and no indicators of impairment at the review. See Notes 5 and 9 for a more
thorough discussion of the Company’s fixed assets and oil and gas assets as of December 31, 2011.
Goodwill
Goodwill is our single largest asset. We
evaluate the recoverability and measure the potential impairment of our goodwill annually. The annual impairment test is a two-step
process that begins with the estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit. The first step screens for potential impairment
and the second step measures the amount of the impairment, if any. Our estimate of fair value considers the financial projections
and future prospects of our business, including its growth opportunities and likely operational improvements. As part of the first
step to assess potential impairment, we compare our estimate of fair value for the reporting unit to the book value of the reporting
unit. We determine the fair value of the reporting units based on the income approach. Under the income approach, we calculate
the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. If the book value is greater than
our estimate of fair value, we would then proceed to the second step to measure the impairment, if any. The second step compares
the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying value. The implied fair value is determined by allocating the fair value of
the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination
and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value
of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying
amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill is greater than its implied fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in
the amount of the excess. We believe our estimation methods are reasonable and reflect common valuation practices.
In December 2010, the FASB issued FASB
ASU No. 2010-28, “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying
Amounts,” which is now codified under FASB ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other.” This ASU
provides amendments to Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those
reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not goodwill
impairment exists. When determining whether it is more likely than not impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there
are any adverse qualitative factors, such as a significant deterioration in market conditions, indicating impairment may exist.
FASB ASU No. 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2010.
Upon adoption of the amendments, an entity with reporting units having carrying amounts which are zero or negative is required
to assess whether it is more likely than not the reporting units’ goodwill is impaired. If the entity determines impairment
exists, the entity must perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for that reporting unit or units. Step 2 involves allocating
the fair value of the reporting unit to each asset and liability, with the excess being implied goodwill. An impairment loss results
if the amount of recorded goodwill exceeds the implied goodwill. Any resulting goodwill impairment should be recorded as a cumulative-effect
adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption.
On
a quarterly basis, we perform a review of our business to determine if events or changes in circumstances have occurred which could
have a material adverse effect on the fair value of the Company and its goodwill. If such events or changes in circumstances were
deemed to have occurred, we would perform an impairment test of goodwill as of the end of the quarter, consistent with the annual
impairment test performed at the end of our fiscal year on December 31, and record any noted impairment loss.
With our knowledge of the loss realized
on the IFL sale in February 2012, the Company has recorded an impairment of $4,827 at December 31, 2011, the amount of the loss
recognized on the transaction. No such knowledge or expectation of loss was present at December 31, 2010 or the quarters ended
March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2011.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted
a new standard related to the accounting for financial assets and financial liabilities and items that are recognized or disclosed
at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, at least annually. This standard provides a single definition of
fair value and a common framework for measuring fair value as well as new disclosure requirements for fair value measurements used
in financial statements. Fair value measurements are based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants exclusive of any transaction costs, and are determined
by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. The principal market is the market with the greatest level of activity
and volume for the asset or liability. Absent a principal market to measure fair value, the Company would use the most advantageous
market, which is the market that the Company would receive the highest selling price for the asset or pay the lowest price to settle
the liability, after considering transaction costs. However, when using the most advantageous market, transaction costs are only
considered to determine which market is the most advantageous and these costs are then excluded when applying a fair value measurement.
The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted
an accounting standard for applying fair value measurements to certain assets, liabilities and transactions that are periodically
measured at fair value. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In August 2009, the FASB issued an amendment
to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are routinely recognized or disclosed at fair value.
This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities, and that restrictions preventing the transfer
of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. This standard
became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
The fair value accounting standard creates
a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values. The basis for fair value
measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below with Level 1 having the highest priority and Level 3 having
the lowest.
|
Level 1:
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities.
|
|
Level 2:
|
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in
active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations
in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets.
|
|
Level 3:
|
Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which
one or more significant inputs are unobservable.
|
Discontinued Operations
The results of operations of a
component of an entity
that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale is reported in discontinued operations
if both of the following conditions are met:
a. The operations and cash flows of the component
have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction.
b. The entity will not have any significant continuing
involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction.
In a period in which a component of an
entity either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, the income statement of the Company for current and prior
periods will report the results of operations of the component, including any gain or loss recognized, in discontinued operations.
The results of operations of a component classified as held for sale shall be reported in discontinued operations in the period(s)
in which they occur.
Reclassification
Certain amounts reported in the prior period
financial statements may have been reclassified to the current period presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment
to the accounting standards related to the disclosures about an entity’s use of fair value measurements. Among these amendments,
entities will be required to provide enhanced disclosures about transfers into and out of the Level 1 (fair value determined
based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities) and Level 2 (fair value determined based on significant
other observable inputs) classifications, provide separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating
to the tabular reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 (fair value determined based on significant unobservable
inputs) classification and provide greater disaggregation for each class of assets and liabilities that use fair value measurements.
Except for the detailed Level 3 roll-forward disclosures, the new standard is effective for the Company for interim and annual
reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2009. The requirement to provide detailed disclosures about the purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements in the roll-forward activity for Level 3 fair value measurements is effective for the Company for interim
and annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2011. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this new standard
will have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued an ASU
to amend existing oil and gas reserve accounting and disclosure guidance to align its requirements with the SECs revised rules. The
significant revisions involve revised definitions of oil and gas producing activities, changing the pricing used to estimate reserves
at period end to a twelve month arithmetic average of the first day of the month prices and additional disclosure requirements. In
contrast to the SEC rule, the FASB does not permit the disclosure of probable and possible reserves in the supplemental oil
and gas information in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods ending
on or after December 31, 2009. Application of the revised rules is prospective and companies are not required to change
prior period presentation to conform to the amendments.
In September 2011, the FASB has issued
ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 is intended to
simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to first assess qualitative
factors to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its
carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in
Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%.
ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-08 to have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” (“ASU
2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 enhances disclosures regarding financial instruments and derivative instruments. Entities are required
to provide both net information and gross information for these assets and liabilities in order to enhance comparability between
those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial
statements on the basis of IFRS. This new guidance is to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of these provisions does not
have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
As of December 31, 2011, the Company has
a working capital deficit of $4,693,961 and total stockholders’ deficit of $2,716,051. These factors raise substantial
doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern
depends upon its ability to obtain funding for its working capital deficit. Of the outstanding current liabilities at December
31, 2011, there are several non-cash items: $386,739 is due to a non-cash clawback provision and $136,894 is attributed to
a derivative liability. Additionally, $1,013,034 of the outstanding current liability is due to certain officers and
directors for prior years’ accrued compensation. They have agreed in writing to postpone payment if necessary,
should the Company need capital it would otherwise pay these individuals. The Company plans to satisfy current year
and future cash flow requirements through its existing, growing business operations. The Company also hopes to pursue merger and
acquisition opportunities including the expansion of existing business opportunities, primarily in the oil and gas exploration
and production sector.
NOTE 3 - LEASE COMMITMENTS
On April 1, 2007, IFL agreed to lease
the IFL fuel terminal from 17617 Aldine Westfield Road, LLC for 18 months at $15,000 per month. The lease included an option to
purchase the terminal for $3.55 million by September 30, 2008. The Company evaluated this lease and determined that it qualified
as a capital lease for accounting purposes. The terminal was capitalized at $3,179,572, calculated using the present
value of monthly rent at $15,000 for the months April 2007 – September 2008 and the final purchase price of $3.55 million
discounted at IFL’s incremental borrowing rate of 12.75%. The terminal was depreciated over its useful life of
15 years resulting in monthly depreciation expense of $17,664. As of December 31, 2007, the carrying value of the capital
lease liability was $3,355,984.
Due to the difficult credit markets, the
Company was unable to secure financing for the Houston terminal facility and assigned its rights under the terminal purchase option
to Lone Star Fuel Storage and Transfer, LLC (“Lone Star”). Lone Star purchased the terminal from 17617 Aldine
Westfield Road, LLC on September 30, 2008. Lone Star then entered into a five year operating lease with option to purchase
with IFL. The five year lease has monthly rental payments of $30,000, escalating 3% per year. IFL’s
purchase option allows for the terminal to be purchased at any time prior to October 1, 2009 for $7,775,552. The sale
price escalates $1,000,000 per year after this date, through the lease expiration date of September 30, 2013. The Company
recognizes the escalating lease payments on a straight line basis. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has not exercised
its option to purchase the Houston terminal facility.
The Lone Star lease was evaluated and was
deemed to be an operating lease.
The transactions that led to the above
two leases both resulted in gains to the Company. The lawsuit settlement just prior to the lease with 17617 Aldine Westfield
Road, LLC resulted in a gain to the Company of $1,480,383. The Company initially amortized this gain over the life of
the capital lease (18 months), but later recognized that this time frame was in error. The appropriate amortization
period for the gain is the life of the capital asset, or 15 years. The Company has restated all appropriate periods
to reflect this change and reported those changes in its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2008.
At the expiration of the capital lease,
September 30, 2008, the remaining gain of $1,332,345 was rolled into the gain on the sale assignment transaction with Lone Star
of $624,047. The total remaining gain to be amortized as of September 30, 2008 of $1,956,392 will be amortized over
the life of the Lone Star operating lease, or 60 months. The operating lease expires as of September 30, 2013. This
treatment is consistent with sale leaseback gain recognition rules. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010,
the Company realized a gain on sale/leaseback of $391,278 for each year.
NOTE 4 – CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT
At December 31, 2011, the Company has $50,000
of restricted certificates of deposit (“CDs”). These investments are classified as either a current or long-term asset
based on their maturity date. The securities generally have maturity dates of ten months to over one year. The restricted investments
serve as collateral for an oil and gas operator license held by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Adino Exploration,
LLC. The cash is held in custody by the issuing bank, is restricted as to withdrawal or use, and is currently invested in certificates
of deposit. Income from these investments is paid to the Company at maturity of the certificates of deposit. These investments
are classified as held-to-maturity and are recorded as either short-term or long-term on the balance sheet based on contractual
maturity date and are recorded at amortized cost. The Company’s securities are classified as held-to-maturity because
the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
NOTE 5 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company uses an oil and gas gathering
company for its oil sales. Each month, sales are recorded as the product is picked up by the gatherer and payments are made to
the Company, the following month. The amounts accrued at December 31, 2011 and 2010 are for December production, to be paid in
January 2012. Additionally, the Company advanced $10,000 to a business associate in December, 2011 for repayment in 2012.

is the duration of the lease on the IFL fuel terminal, through September 30, 2013. Machinery and equipment, consisting primarily
of oil field assets (see Note 10), has a useful life of seven years, vehicles’ useful life is five years and office equipment
is being depreciated over three years.
NOTE 7 – PETRO ENERGY ACQUISITION
PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION
The Company’s acquisition of the
Petro Energy companies (see Note 1) included operating wells and fixed assets. The transaction, treated as a business combination,
was valued under current guidance using fair value methods. To arrive at the acquired asset’s fair value, the valuation considered
the value to be the price, in cash or equivalent, that a buyer could reasonably be expected to pay, and a seller could reasonably
be expected to accept, if the business were exposed for sale on the open market for a reasonable period of time, with both buyer
and seller being in possession of the pertinent facts and neither being under any compulsion to act.
The Company issued ten million (10,000,000)
shares of common stock at closing as consideration for the companies. The stock price as of July 1, 2010 was $0.015 per common
share, representing a value of $150,000.
The tangible assets acquired were valued
based on the appropriate application of the market or cost approaches. The fair value was estimated at the depreciable value of
the current replacement costs based on the age of the assets, assuming they are in good, working order. Additionally, the Company
had an independent third party value the oil reserves for the Felix Brandt wells in Coleman, Texas.
A component of the acquisition agreement
with PetroGreen Energy and AACM3, LLC gave the former owners of these companies the option to repurchase for $1.00 the assets held
by the companies as of July 1, 2010 if the Company’s common stock price fails to reach $0.25 per share within three years
of the original acquisition date. This contract clawback provision was valued at July 1, 2010 at $408,760.
The above valuations resulted in a goodwill
calculation on acquisition of $7,139 at July 1, 2010.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had $1,559,240
of goodwill on the balance sheet. Due to the sale of the Company’s interest in IFL in February 2012 (subsequent to the period
covered by this report), the Company has recorded impairment of the goodwill to the extent of the loss on the transaction of $4,827.
NOTE 9 - NOTES RECEIVABLE / INTEREST
RECEIVABLE
On November 6, 2003, Mr. Stuart Sundlun
purchased 1,200 units of IFL from Adino. Part of the purchase price was a note from Mr. Sundlun dated November 6, 2003, bearing
interest of 10% per annum in the amount of $750,000. This note was secured by 600 units of IFL being held in attorney escrow and
released pursuant to the sales agreement. The sales agreement provided that the unreleased units would revert to Adino
if Mr. Sundlun did not acquire the remaining 600 units.
On August 7, 2006, IFL repurchased the
units sold to Mr. Sundlun. The entire amount due from Mr. Sundlun and payable to Mr. Sundlun is reported at gross in the Company's
financial statements. The right of offset does not officially exist even though it has been discussed. In accordance with current
guidance, the Company did not net the note receivable against the note payable. Current guidance states “It is a general
principal of accounting that the offsetting of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet is improper except where a right of
setoff exists.” Although both parties agreed verbally that a net payment would be acceptable, no formal documentation exists
of this verbal agreement.
The Company's position to not offset the
amounts is further substantiated by current guidance as follows, due to lacking two of the four general criteria: (1)
The Company does not have a contractual right to offset even though that is the Company's intention and (2) Neither of the notes
contains a specific right of offset.
In addition to the above facts, the note
holder provided a separate written confirmation to the Company's auditors at December 31, 2011 and 2010 of both the note payable
and note receivable balances, respectively.
The Company's net notes receivable and
payable to and from Mr. Sundlun are a net payable of $750,000.
The 600 units of IFL are no longer held
in escrow as the Company purchased all 1,200 units of IFL including the escrow units for $1,500,000 which is the value of the note
payable.
The note receivable from Mr. Sundlun matured
on November 6, 2008. The Company extended the note’s maturity date to August 8, 2011 with no additional interest
accrual to occur past November 6, 2008. Due to the fact that there will be no interest accrued on the note going forward,
the Company recorded a discount on the note principal of $179,671. This amount will amortize until the note’s
maturity in August 2011.
Interest accrued on the Sundlun note receivable was $375,208
at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
A schedule of the balances at December
31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

NOTE 10 - OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
Tangible drilling costs:
The Company
acquired tangible drilling equipment and proved oil and gas properties with the Petro Energy acquisition in July 2010. The tangible
assets were valued based on the appropriate application of the market or cost approaches as of the date of acquisition. The fair
value was estimated at the depreciable value of the current replacement costs based on the age and condition of the assets.
Since the Petro
Energy acquisition, the Company has completed an extensive workover program on the original wells acquired. The Company has also
drilled and completed 3 wells on the James Leonard lease during 2011. In late 2011, the Company drilled 5 new wells – 4 on
the James Leonard lease and 1 on the Felix Brandt lease, financed by BlueRock Energy Capital
II, LLC (“BlueRock”).
(See Note 14 for additional discussion).
Proved oil and gas properties:
As
of December 31, 2011, the Company’s Felix Brandt leases include thirteen proved developed producing (PDP) wells and three
saltwater disposal wells. According to the reserve analysis conducted by an independent engineering firm, the estimated discounted
net cash flow on the Felix Brandt lease was $118,590 as of December 31, 2010. As a result of the Company’s workover and drilling
programs during 2011, the estimated discounted net cash flow on the combined Felix Brandt and James Leonard leases are $951,247
as of December 31, 2011. Due to our significant net loss carryforward, we do not expect to pay any federal income taxes on future
net revenues provided from the Felix Brandt lease production. Therefore, the pre-tax and after-tax estimate of discounted future
net cash flows at December 31, 2011 are both $951,247.
Asset retirement obligation:
The
Company accounts for its asset retirement obligations by recording the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation
recognized in the period in which it was incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value could be made. The associated asset retirement
costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and allocated to operating expense using a systematic
and rational method. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has recorded a net asset of $46,372 and related liability of $50,944.
Accretion for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $3,704.
Impairment:
Current guidance
requires that unamortized capitalized costs (less certain adjustments) for each cost center not exceed the
cost ceiling, which is defined as the present value of future net revenues from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves
(plus certain adjustments). If adjusted unamortized costs capitalized within a cost center exceed the cost center ceiling, the
excess is charged to expenses and separately disclosed during the period it occurs. The Company evaluated the carrying cost of
the applicable oil producing properties and determined that the carrying value should be reduced by $47,481 for the year ended
December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company evaluated the carrying cost of the applicable oil producing
properties and determined that the carrying value did not exceed the cost ceiling, therefore no adjustment was necessary for 2011.
The oil and gas related asset values at December 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010 were as follows:

NOTE 11 – OTHER ASSETS
As the Company’s wells and lease
holdings have increased, it has need for supplies on hand for lease and well repair and maintenance. At December 31, 2011, the
Company had $25,001 in supplies and replacement parts available for use. The Company did not have need for supplies in 2010.
NOTE 12 – CONSOLIDATION OF IFL
AND GOODWILL
From the period of IFL’s inception
to 2005, our ownership percentage in IFL was 60%. Our ownership increased to 80% during 2005 when our 20% partner withdrew
from IFL and rescinded its investment. On August 7, 2006, we obtained the remaining 20% interest in IFL from Stuart Sundlun in
consideration for a note payable as described in Note 9. This transaction was accounted for as a step acquisition. This step acquisition
resulted in an additional $1,500,000 of goodwill as the fair value of the net assets acquired was determined by management to be
zero and the consideration given as discussed above was the $1,500,000 note.
Adino evaluated the aggregate goodwill
for impairment at December 31, 2010 and determined that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount and was
therefore, not impaired. At December 31, 2011, the Company had $1,559,240 of goodwill on the balance sheet. Due to the sale of
the Company’s interest in IFL in February 2012 (subsequent to the period covered by this report), the Company has recorded
impairment of the goodwill to the extent of the loss on the transaction of $4,827.

liability that will be extinguished by the lease termination date of September 30, 2013. The Company sold all of its membership
interest in IFL to a third party on February 7, 2012 (subsequent to the period covered by this report).
Accrued salaries – related party:
This
liability is due to certain officers and directors for prior years’ accrued compensation. They have agreed to
postpone payment if necessary, should the Company need capital it would otherwise pay these individuals.

On August 11,
2010, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to Asher Enterprises, Inc. (“Asher”), in the amount of $57,500.
The note had a maturity date of May 13, 2011 and an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. The holders have the
right from and after the date of issuance, and until any time until the note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid
principal portion of the note, and accrued interest, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The note has an
initial conversion price of fifty eight percent (58%) of the 3 lowest closing bid prices for the 10 days preceding the conversion
date and full reset provision.
The note’s convertible feature
was valued and resulted in a debt discount of $35,838, which is being amortized over the nine month note life, using the straight
line method. In this case, using the straight line method approximates the effective interest method, given the short time to maturity.
With the Asher notes, the Company has the
right to redeem the notes within 90 days from the date of issuance for 135% of the redemption amount and accrued interest, from
days 91-120, the Company has the right to redeem the notes for 145% of the redemption amount and accrued interest, and from days
121-180, the Company has the right to redeem the notes for 150% of the redemption amount and accrued interest.
On September
2, 2010, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to investors in the amount of $400,000, to fund financing and start-up
costs of the recent Petro Energy acquisition. The notes have a maturity date of September 2, 2013, with accrued interest paid quarterly
and an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. The holders have the right from and after the date of issuance, and
until any time until the note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the note, and accrued interest,
into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The note has a fixed conversion price of $0.10.
In December 2010, the former owner of AACM3, LLC transferred the certificate of deposit securing
the P5 bond financial assurance for the Company’s oil and gas operator’s license to the Company. The agreement
calls for the Company to pay a total of $60,000 for the transfer, which was completed in the second quarter of 2012.
On January 10, 2011, the Company issued
convertible promissory notes to investors in the amount of $272,500, to fund drilling activities associated with the recent Petro
Energy acquisition. The notes have a maturity date of January 9, 2013, with interest accrued and paid at the option of the holder
at an annual interest rate of six percent (6%) per annum. The holders have the right from and after the date of issuance, and until
any time until the note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the note, and accrued interest,
into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The note has a fixed conversion price of $0.35. During December 2011,
the Company offered to convert the notes into shares of the Company’s Class B Preferred Stock, Series 3. Three of the investors
chose to convert their notes, totaling $187,500 into shares of the preferred stock. The remaining notes of $62,500 and $22,500
remain outstanding at December 31, 2011.
During the first quarter of 2011, Asher
converted $34,000 of the notes into the Company’s common stock, resulting in an issuance of 1,862,833 shares to Asher. During
the second quarter of 2011, Asher converted the remaining balance of $23,500 into the Company’s common stock, resulting in
an issuance of 2,036,820 shares to Asher. No amounts were converted during the third quarter, 2011. During the fourth
quarter of 2011, Asher converted $48,000 into the Company’s common stock, resulting in an issuance of 2,664,063 shares to
Asher. See Note 17 for a detailed description of each conversion.
During the second
quarter of 2011, the Company issued two nine-month convertible promissory notes to Asher in the amount of $53,000 each. The notes
have maturity dates of February 16, 2012 and March 23, 2012 and an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. The holders
have the right from and after the date of issuance, and until any time until the note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding
and unpaid principal portion of the note, and accrued interest, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The
note has an initial conversion price of sixty five percent (65%) of the three lowest closing bid prices for the ten days preceding
the conversion date.
The notes’ convertible features were
valued and resulted in debt discounts of $23,918 and $23,998 respectively, which is being amortized over the nine month note life,
using the straight line method. In this case, using the straight line method approximates the effective interest method, given
the short time to maturity.
On October 14, 2011, the Company entered
into a production agreement with BlueRock Energy Capital II, LLC (“BlueRock”). Under the production agreement, BlueRock
funded Adino with $410,000 for the drilling of five oil wells on the Company’s Leonard and Felix Brandt leases and for working
capital. Under the terms of the production agreement, BlueRock will be entitled to 65% of the net revenue interest of the wells
until BlueRock receives $410,000 plus an 18% return on investment. These monies are to be paid as the Company receives production
payments on the new wells. After payment of this amount, BlueRock will receive a 3% overriding royalty interest on the wells. At
December 31, 2011, the balance on the BlueRock agreement was $379,854.
During the third
quarter of 2011, the Company issued two nine-month convertible promissory notes to Asher in the amount of $37,500 each. The notes
have maturity dates of April 17, 2012 and June 12, 2012 and an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. The holders
have the right from and after the date of issuance, and until any time until the note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding
and unpaid principal portion of the note, and accrued interest, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The
note due April 17, 2012 has an initial conversion price of sixty five percent (65%) of the three lowest closing bid prices for
the ten days preceding the conversion date. The note due June 12, 2012 has an initial conversion price of fifty six percent (56%)
of the three lowest closing bid prices for the ten days preceding the conversion date.
The
notes’ convertible features were valued and resulted in debt discounts of $15,943 and $21,720 respectively, which is being
amortized over the nine month note life, using the straight line method. In this case, using the straight line method approximates
the effective interest method, given the short time to maturity.
On November
22, 2011, the Company issued a nine-month convertible promissory note to Asher in the amount of $37,500. The note has a maturity
date of August 28, 2012 and an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. The holders have the right from and after
the date of issuance, and until any time until the note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion
of the note, and accrued interest, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The note has an initial conversion
price of fifty eight percent (58%) of the three lowest closing bid prices for the ten days preceding the conversion date.
The
note’s convertible feature was valued and resulted in a debt discount of $21,477, which is being amortized over the nine
month note life, using the straight line method. In this case, using the straight line method approximates the effective interest
method, given the short time to maturity.

NOTE 15 - CONTRACT CLAWBACK PROVISION
A component of the acquisition agreement
with PetroGreen Energy and AACM3, LLC gave the former owners of these companies the option to repurchase for $1.00 the assets held
by the companies as of July 1, 2010 if the Company’s common stock price fails to reach $0.25 per share within three years
of the original acquisition date. This contract clawback provision was valued at July 1, 2010 at $408,760 and was revalued at December
31, 2010 at $337,354 resulting in a gain on change in clawback valuation of $71,406 at December 31, 2010. The clawback valuation
at December 31, 2011 was $386,739, resulting in a loss on change in clawback valuation of $49,385 at December 31, 2011.
NOTE 16 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
Based on current guidance, the Company
concluded that the convertible notes payable to Asher referred to in Note 14 were required to be accounted for as a derivative.
This guidance requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the conversion features of the convertible notes issued
as embedded derivatives.
With convertible notes in general,
there are three primary events that can occur: the holder can convert the note into stock; the Company can force conversion of
the convertible note; or the Company can default on the note or liquidate. The model analyzed the underlying economic factors
that influenced which of these events would occur, when they were likely to occur, and the specific terms that would
be in effect at the time (i.e. interest rates, stock price, conversion price etc.). Projections were then made on these underlying
factors which led to a set of potential scenarios. Probabilities were assigned to each of these scenarios based on management
projections. This led to a cash flow projection and a probability associated with that cash flow. A discounted weighted
average cash flow over the various scenarios was completed, and it was compared to the discounted cash flow of a hypothetical
one year 0% debt instrument without the embedded derivatives, thus determining a value for the compound embedded derivatives
at the date of issue.
Derivative financial instruments are initially
measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that
are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is
then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as
charges or credits to income.
The Company used a lattice model that values
the compound embedded derivatives based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. This model is based on future projections
of the various potential outcomes. The Asher notes contained embedded derivatives that were analyzed. Certain features of the Asher
notes were incorporated into the derivative valuation model, including the conversion feature with a reduction of the conversion
rate based upon future below-market issuances and the redemption options.
The structure of the Asher notes caused
two other financial instruments held by the Company to be deemed derivatives: The BWME notes and the Haag warrants. Both were valued
as derivatives as of the date of the Asher note issuance (Haag warrants) or date of issuance (BWME notes) and revalued as of December
31, 2011.
Below is detail of the derivative liability
balances as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

On February 22, 2011, Asher converted $10,000
of its note into 465,116 shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion resulted in an increase of additional paid-in-capital

into a consulting agreement with RKM Capital for consulting and investor relations services. The Company paid $2,500
and issued ten million, seven hundred fifty thousand (10,750,000) shares of restricted common stock, with a market price of $0.02
per share, resulting in expense to the Company of $225,750.
On September 16, 2011, the Board of Directors
issued 250,000 shares of restricted common stock to each of its directors as compensation for 2011 director’s fees. The
market price on the date of grant was $0.022, resulting in expense to the Company of $11,000.
On September 16, 2011, the Board of Directors
granted 500,000 shares of restricted common stock to the Company’s controller, Nancy Finney, for services rendered. Ms.
Finney relinquished the 500,000 fully vested options granted to her in 2007 in this transaction. Current guidance required
the options to be revalued as of the day prior to the share grant. Using the Black-Scholes valuation model and an expected
life of 1 year (remaining option life), volatility of 226%, and a discount rate of .09%, the Company has determined the aggregate
value of the 500,000 options to be $5,643. The market price of the issued stock on date of grant was $0.022, resulting
in stock expense to the Company of $11,000. The Company recorded an expense of $5,357 (market value – option value)
on the transaction.
As a result of the above common stock issuances,
there were 125,574,295 shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2011.
PREFERRED STOCK
In 1998, the Company amended its articles

to three (3) shares of common stock of the Company for each one (1) share of Series "A" $12.50 Preferred Stock. The Series

The preferential amount payable with respect
to shares of either Series of Preferred Stock in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up,

As of December 31, 2011, the Company has

authorized shares of Class B Preferred Stock Series 1 is 666,680 shares.
At any time after six months from the date of issuance

into account any prior conversions, but taking into account any sales or transfers) of Class B Preferred Stock Series 1 into fully
paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of the Company at the rate of one hundred (100) shares of common stock per share
of Class B Preferred Stock Series 1. Every month thereafter, any holder of Class B Preferred Stock Series 1 may convert up to 12.5%
of such stockholder’s initial holdings of Class B Preferred Stock Series 1 (i.e. before taking into account any prior conversions,
but taking into account any sales or transfers) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of the Company at the
rate of one hundred (100) shares of common stock per share of Class B Preferred Stock Series 1. Any such conversion may be effected
by giving to the Secretary of the Company written notice of conversion, accompanied by the surrender of the certificate(s) of the
stock to be converted, duly endorsed, along with any other information or documents reasonably requested by the Secretary to effect
the conversion. The shares of Class B Preferred Stock Series 1 shall not have any voting rights. Any outstanding shares of Class
B Preferred Stock Series 1 may be redeemed by the Company, at the Company’s option, at any time for $15.00 per share.
On November 3, 2011, The Company acquired
all unencumbered assets owned by two limited partnerships managed by Ashton Oilfield Services, LLC (“Ashton”). The
assets were purchased for one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000) and the Company issued 100,000 shares of Class
B Preferred Stock Series 1 to Ashton. The assets were valued based on fair market value for similar assets in good, working condition.
At December 31, 2011, there were 100,000
shares of Class B Preferred Stock Series 1 issued and outstanding. No shares were issued or outstanding at December 31, 2010.
The number of
authorized shares of Class B Preferred Stock Series 3 is 18,570 shares. The issue price for Class B Preferred Stock Series 3 is
$35.00. The holders of Class B Preferred Stock Series 3 shall be entitled to receive a quarterly dividend equal to 2.5% of the
issue price of each share. The dividends shall be paid quarterly, when as and if declared payable by the Company’s Board
of Directors from funds legally available for the payment thereof. If in any quarter the Company does not pay any accrued dividends,
such dividends shall cumulate. Interest shall not be paid on cumulated dividends. Each share of Class B Preferred Stock Series
3 shall rank on the same parity with each other share of preferred stock, irrespective of series, with respect to dividends at
the respective fixed or maximum rate for such series. Any holder of Class B Preferred Stock Series 3 may convert, at any time,
any or all shares held into common stock of the Company. Each Class B Preferred Stock Series 3 share held may be converted into
one hundred (100) fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of the Company at the conversion rate of $0.35 per common
stock
.
On December
10, 2011, three of the Schwartz investors, each holding a note for $62,500, converted their notes into 1,786 shares of the Company’s
Class B Preferred Stock Series 3, for a total issuance of 5,358 shares. Additionally, each investor

a quarterly dividend equal to 2.5% of the issue price of each share. The dividends shall be paid quarterly, when as and if declared
payable by the Company’s Board of Directors from funds legally available for the payment thereof. If in any quarter the Company
does not pay any accrued dividends, such dividends shall cumulate. Interest shall not be paid on cumulated dividends.
Dividends for Class A Preferred Stock and
Class B Series 1 Preferred Stock are non-cumulative, however, the holders of such series, in preference to the holders of any common
stock, shall be entitled to receive, as and when declared payable by the Board of Directors from funds legally available for the
payment thereof, dividends in lawful money of the United States of America at the rate per annum fixed and determined as herein
authorized for the shares of such series, but no more.
Dividends for Class A Preferred Stock are
payable quarterly on the last days of March, June, September, and December in each year with respect to the quarterly period ending
on the day prior to each such respective dividend payment date. In no event shall the holders of Class A Preferred Stock receive
dividends of more than percent (1%) in any fiscal year, and each share shall rank on parity with each other share of preferred
stock, irrespective of class or series, with respect to dividends at the respective fixed or maximum rates for such series.
At December 31, 2011, the Company recorded
a dividend payable for the Class B Preferred Stock Series 3 shares of $1,942, for those shares issued in the Schwartz debt conversion,
discussed above.
NOTE 18 - STOCK OPTIONS / STOCK WARRANTS
In September 2007, the Company entered
into a consulting agreement with Small Cap Support Services, Inc. (“Small Cap”) to provide investor relations services. In
addition to monthly compensation, Small Cap was entitled to 500,000 options, vesting ratably over 8 quarters through August 30,
2009, priced at 166,667 shares at $0.15, $0.25, and $0.35 each. Using the Black-Scholes valuation model and an expected
life of 3.5 years, volatility of 271.33%, and a discount rate of 4.53%, the Company determined the aggregate value of the 500,000
seven year options to be $59,126. The options became fully expensed and vested as of June 30, 2009. All options are outstanding
at December 31, 2011.
In November 2007, the Company entered into
an agreement with Nancy Finney, the Company’s Controller. In addition to monthly contract payments, Ms. Finney was entitled
to 500,000 options, vesting over 24 months as certain milestones were met. In accordance with current guidance, these options were
expensed at their fair value over the requisite service period. Using the Black-Scholes valuation model and an expected
life of 2.5 years, volatility of 276.75%, and a discount rate of 4.16%, the Company determined the aggregate value of the 500,000
options to be $23,949. The options became fully expensed and vested as of September 30, 2009.
On September 16, 2011, the Board of Directors
granted 500,000 shares of restricted common stock to Ms. Finney for services rendered. Ms. Finney relinquished the 500,000
fully vested options granted to her in 2007 within this transaction. Current guidance required the options to be revalued
as of the day prior to the share grant. Using the Black-Scholes valuation model and an expected life of 1 year (remaining
option life), volatility of 226%, and a discount rate of .09%, the Company has determined the aggregate value of the 500,000 options
to be $5,643. The market price of the issued stock on date of the grant was $0.022, resulting in stock expense to the
Company of $11,000. The Company recorded an expense of $5,357 (market value – option value) on the transaction.

As of December 31, 2011, Adino had 125,574,295
shares outstanding, with no shares payable outstanding. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine whether any
outstanding options or warrants are to be included in the diluted earnings per share calculation.
As of December 31, 2011, Adino had 500,000
earned options outstanding to a former consultant, exercisable between $0.15 to $0.35 each. Using an average share price
for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $0.029, the options result in no additional dilution to the Company.
The Company calculated the dilutive effect
of the convertibility of the outstanding notes, resulting in additional weighted average share additions of 5,089,194 for the year
ended December 31, 2011. The effect on earnings per share from the Company’s BWME and Schwartz convertible notes was excluded
from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding because the conversion of these instruments would have been non-dilutive since
the strike price is above the market price for our stock.
The dilutive effect of convertible instruments
on earnings per share is not presented in the consolidated statements of operations for periods with a net loss.
NOTE 20 – DEFERRED INCOME TAX
The Company uses the asset and liability
approach to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future
tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted
an accounting standard which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements. This
standard provides guidance on recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements uncertain tax positions
that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. See Note 20 for further information related to the Company’s
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.
During both 2011 and 2010, the Company
incurred a net loss and therefore had no tax liability. The Company does not have any material uncertain income tax
positions. As a result, the net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry forward has been fully reserved. The
cumulative net operating loss carry forward is approximately $12,459,913 and $11,245,582 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively,
and will expire in the years 2020 through 2030.
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the deferred tax assets
consisted of the following:

NOTE 21 – SALE OF ADINO DRILLING,
LLC
On March 31, 2011, the Company sold the
membership shares of Adino Drilling, LLC to a related party. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company realized a reduction
in accrued liability of $100,000 and acquired a $500,000 six year, 5.24% interest note receivable, for a total sale price of $600,000.
The sale resulted in a gain to the Company of $247,376; however the transaction’s related party note of $500,000 is not allowed
for reporting purposes, therefore the Company realized a reportable loss of $252,624.
With the sale of Adino Drilling, LLC, the
$7,139 of goodwill resulting from the original PetroGreen acquisition, discussed in Note 7 was written off. The transaction
has been accounted for as a discontinued operation.

NOTE 23 – NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
The note receivable from Mr. Sundlun matured
on November 6, 2008. The Company extended the note’s maturity date to August 8, 2011 with no additional interest
accrual to occur past November 6, 2008. Due to the fact that there will be no interest accrued on the note going forward,
the Company recorded a discount on the note principal of $179,671 in 2010. This amount was fully amortized as of August
2011. The Company is currently re-negotiating the notes receivable and payable with Mr. Sundlun.
NOTE 24 – LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT –
IFL TERMINAL
In 2005, a lawsuit was filed putting IFL’s
ownership of the terminal in question. At the time of these lawsuits, Adino’s note to North American Reserve Corporation
(“NARC”) was in default. The amount outstanding under the note was $725,733. In addition, Adino’s notes and debentures
to Dr. David Zehr in the principal amount of $3,100,000 plus accrued interest were in default.
On March 23, 2007, the Company settled
all litigation with all parties to this transaction. In the settlement, IFL released its claim of ownership of the terminal in
favor of NARC. 17617 Aldine Westfield Road, LLC, an entity controlled by Dr. Zehr, then purchased the terminal from NARC for total
consideration of $1.55 million ($150,000 in cash and a $1.4 million note). Simultaneously with these transactions, IFL agreed to
lease the terminal from 17617 Aldine Westfield Road, LLC for 18 months at $15,000 per month with an option to purchase the terminal
for $3.55 million at the end of the lease. In return for the lease, all debentures owed to Dr. Zehr were extinguished.
As a result of these transactions, all
claims by and against all parties except Mr. Peoples were released. In addition, all liens pending on IFL’s property were
released. The complete lawsuit settlement resulted in a net gain to Adino and IFL of $1,480,383. Due to the terminal
sale / leaseback transaction, the gain is being recognized over the life of the capitalized asset or 15 years. Gain
recognized for 2010 and 2011 was $391,278 for each year.
NOTE 25 – LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT –
G J CAPITAL
On March 15, 2010, G J Capital, Ltd. (“G
J Capital”) filed suit against Adino Energy Corporation and IFL in the 129th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas.
G J Capital’s claim relates to a repurchase agreement whereby IFL sold to G J Capital certain assets for $250,000 and retained
the ability to repurchase the assets in sixty days by paying to G J Capital the amount of $275,000. G J Capital’s petition
alleged claims of breach of contract, money had and received, and fraudulent misrepresentation. G J Capital later amended its petition
to allege that certain of Adino’s directors and officers (Mr. Timothy Byrd and Mr. Sonny Wooley) fraudulently transferred
assets of Adino and/or IFL. G J Capital has also alleged that Mr. Wooley and Mr. Byrd are the
alter ego
of Adino
and IFL, and/or that Adino and/or IFL are
alter egos
of one another. G J Capital also alleged fraudulent conduct by one
or more of the defendants.
Adino, IFL, Mr. Byrd and Mr. Wooley countersued
G J Capital and filed third-party claims against CapNet Securities Corporation (“CapNet”), Daniel L. Ritz, Jr. (“Ritz”),
Gulf Coast Fuels, Inc. (“Gulf Coast”) and Paul Groat (“Groat”), alleging that they conspired to damage
IFL and Adino by involving it in the transaction described above. In this action, Adino, IFL, Mr. Byrd and Mr. Wooley contended
that Ritz, CapNet, Gulf Coast, and Groat were involved together for the common, improper scheme to cause IFL immense financial
hardship so that Gulf Coast could acquire the fuel terminal currently leased by IFL at an unfairly low price; that as part of this
conspiracy they also effected a settlement of the Gulf Coast claim (which, if true, would mean that G J Capital acquired no claim
at all against any of the defendants); and that in addition or in the alternative, even if G J Capital acquired some cognizable
interest against IFL, Adino, IFL, Byrd and Wooley are entitled to indemnification by and contribution by Ritz, CapNet, Gulf Coast,
and Groat.
In December 2011, G J Capital dismissed
its claims against Mr. Byrd and Mr. Wooley. Also in December 2011, the court rendered judgment for G J Capital and against Adino
and IFL in the amount of $250,000, plus $152,987.50 in attorneys’ fees, $9,300.00 in court costs, plus $20,616.44 in prejudgment
interest. Interest will continue to accrue on the judgment at the rate of $34.25 until satisfied. The Company did not appeal this
judgment. The Company accrued all fees and interest related to the judgment as of December 31, 2011. The total accrual expensed
to IFL was $437,155. This amount was assumed by the buyer of IFL in the February 2012 sale.

NOTE 27 – SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND
GAS RESERVE INFORMATION (Unaudited)
In January 2010, the FASB issued an ASU
to amend existing oil and gas reserve accounting and disclosure guidance to align its requirements with the SEC’s revised
rules discussed in Note 1. The significant revisions involve revised definitions of oil and gas producing activities,
changing the pricing used to estimate reserves at period end to a twelve month arithmetic average of the first day of the month
prices and additional disclosure requirements. In contrast to the SEC rule, the FASB does not permit the disclosure
of probable and possible reserves in the supplemental oil and gas information in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments
are effective for annual reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2009. Application of the revised rules is
prospective and companies are not required to change prior period presentation to conform to the amendments. Application
of the amended guidance has only resulted in changes to the prices used to determine proved reserves at December 31, 2009. The
new guidelines have expanded the definition of proved undeveloped reserves that can be recorded from an economic producer. The
opportunity to prove reasonable certainty for spacing areas located more than one direct development spacing area from economic
producer did not impact or prove undeveloped reserves.
The Company follows the guidelines prescribed
in ASC Topic 932 for computing a standardized measure of future net cash flows and changes therein relating to estimated proved
reserves. Future cash inflows and future production and development costs are determined by applying prices and costs,
including transportation, quality, and basis differentials, to the year-end estimated quantities of oil and gas to be produced
in the future. The resulting future net cash flows are reduced to present value amounts by applying a ten percent annual
discount factor. Future operating costs are determined based on estimates of expenditures to be incurred in producing
the proved oil and as reserves in place at the end of the period using year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing conditions,
plus Company overhead incurred. Future development costs are determined based on estimates of capital expenditures to
be incurred in developing proved oil and gas reserves.
The assumptions used to compute the standardized
measure are those prescribed by the FASB and the SEC. The assumptions do not necessarily reflect the Company’s
expectations of actual revenues to be derived from those reserves, nor their present value. The limitations inherent
in the reserve quantity estimation process, as discussed previously, are equally applicable to the standardized measure computations
since these reserve quantity estimates are the basis for the valuation process. The Company emphasizes that reserve
estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries and undeveloped locations are more imprecise than estimates
of established proved producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as future
information becomes available. All of the Company’s proved reserves are located in the State of Texas.
Proved oil and natural gas reserve quantities
at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the related discounted future net cash flows are based on estimates prepared by
Corridor Resources, LLC, independent petroleum engineers.

The Company performed a series of workover
procedures to the wells on the Felix Brandt lease, resulting in an increase in the production capacity of 3,720 bbls over the initial
purchase as of December 31, 2010.
During 2011,
the Company’s primary focus was continuing the enhancement of the acquired wells and drilling new wells. The Company focused
development of the James Leonard lease, drilling and completing 3 wells during the spring and summer. With the success of those
shallow, low cost projects, the Company focused on acquiring funding for additional wells.
On October 14, 2011, the Company
entered into a production agreement with BlueRock Energy Capital II, LLC (“BlueRock”). Under the production agreement,
BlueRock funded Adino with $410,000 for the drilling of five oil wells on the Company’s Leonard and Felix Brandt leases and
for working capital. Under the terms of the production agreement, BlueRock will be entitled to 65% of the net revenue interest
of the wells until BlueRock receives $410,000 plus an 18% return on investment. These monies are to be paid as the Company receives
production payments on the new wells. After payment of this amount, BlueRock will receive a 3% overriding royalty interest on the
wells. As of December 31, 2011, the wells were drilled and completion was underway.

NOTE 28 –
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During the first quarter of 2012, Asher
Enterprises, Inc. elected to convert a portion of its outstanding notes receivable with the Company on four separate occasions. The
conversions were made in accordance with the note agreement and resulted in a reduction of the note payable balance of $45,000
and accrued interest of $2,120. Common shares issued in settlement were 9,912,748.
On January 6,
2012, one of the Schwartz investors holding a note for $22,500, converted his note into 681 shares of the Company’s
Class B Preferred Stock Series 3 shares. Additionally, he invested an additional $30,000 in the
Company through the purchase of 857 shares of Class B Preferred Stock Series 3 shares
On February 7, 2012 Adino sold all of its
membership interest in IFL to Pomisu XXI S.L. (“Buyer”). The purchase price paid by the Buyer was $900,000, paid in
two installments with the first installment of $244,824.97 paid on February 7, 2012, and the balance due not later than May 7,
2012. The balance of the purchase price shall be computed as follows: $900,000 minus $244,842.97 (initial installment) minus any
IFL liabilities plus any cash on deposit with Regions Bank for the benefit of IFL or cash on deposit with J.P. Morgan Bank for
the benefit of the Company. The liabilities assumed included $106,520 in accounts payable, $1,500 to a related party, $110,000
in retained customer deposit and $437,155 for the G J Capital lawsuit judgment.
On February
7, 2012, the Company sold, for $500,000 cash, all oilfield machinery and equipment it had purchased from Ashton Oilfield Services
in its November 3, 2011 acquisition.
The Company purchased the assets for 100,000 shares of Class B Preferred Stock Series
1, valued at $350,000
There were no additional subsequent events
through April 16, 2012, the date the financial statements were issued.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS
WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There are no disagreements with our accountant on accounting
and financial disclosure.
ITEM 9A. CONTROL AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based
upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period
covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required
time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal
controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control
system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their
costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance
that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional
analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual
report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the
financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act,
as amended. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2011. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a deficiency,
or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that
a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We
have identified the following material weaknesses:
|
1.
|
As of December 31, 2011, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically,
the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial
expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect
across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.
|
|
2.
|
As of December 31, 2011, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically,
controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements.
Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
|
Because of these material weaknesses, management
has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based
on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.
Corrective Action
Management plans to address the structure
of the Board of Directors and discuss adding an audit committee during 2012.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting through the date of this report or during the quarter ended December 31, 2011, that materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Independent Registered Accountant’s
Internal Control Attestation
This annual report does not include an
attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. On
July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which permanently
exempts smaller reporting companies from providing attestation of their internal controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act. As a result, this report does not provide such an attestation, and the Company will be exempt from providing such an attestation
until the Company’s market capitalization reaches $75 million.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
None.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE
EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") requires the Company's officers, directors and persons who own more than
10% of the Company's common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.
Officers, directors and greater than 10%
stockholders are required by regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all forms they file pursuant to Section 16(a) of
the Exchange Act.
From our review of the Section 16(a) filings
made in connection with the Company’s stock, we determined that a filing was not made with respect to the following transactions:
|
·
|
Our CEO, Timothy G. Byrd, Sr., did not file a Form 4 regarding a grant of 500,000 shares to him on November 24, 2010. The failure
to file this form was due to an administrative oversight.

CODE OF ETHICS
The Company has adopted a code of ethics
applicable to our CEO, CFO, controller, our other employees, and our suppliers. This code is intended to promote honest and
ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to the SEC and
in other public communications that we make; compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; the prompt internal
reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and accountability for adherence
to the code. A copy of our code of ethics was filed as an exhibit to our 2008 annual report filed with the SEC. The
Company will provide a copy of our code of ethics, without charge, to any person who requests it. In order to request a copy of
our code of ethics, please contact our headquarters and speak with our investor relations department. Additionally,
the complete code of ethics is available on our website at www.adinoenergycorp.com.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Company does not have an audit committee.
The entire Board of Directors instead acts as the Company’s audit committee. Our Board does not have an audit committee financial
expert as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission rules due to the small size of the Board. However, the Board is considering
an audit committee financial expert in 2012.
