Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Nature of Operations
On May 10, 2012, Santa Fe Petroleum,
Inc., f/k/a Baby All Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “we,” “us ,” “our ,” or the “Company”),
entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), with Santa Fe Operating, Inc., a Delaware corporation
engaged in the exploration and production of oil and gas (“SFO”), Tom Griffin, an individual, on behalf of the holders
(the “SFO Shareholders”) of 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of SFO (the “SFO Stock”), and
Efrat Schwartz, an individual and the holder of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, each SFO Shareholder was issued one share
of Common Stock in exchange for each of such SFO Shareholder’s shares of SFO Stock (the “Exchange”). Pursuant
to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Exchange closed on May 20, 2012, (the “Closing Date”). As a result, (i)
we issued an aggregate of 33,478,261 shares of Common Stock to the SFO Shareholders; (ii) we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 6,764,856 shares of Common Stock to the SFO Shareholders, at an exercise price of $0.50 per share; and (iii) SFO became our
wholly-owned subsidiary.
We were incorporated in Delaware on
November 30, 2010.
Prior to the Exchange, our business plan was to seek third party entities
interested in licensing the rights to manufacture and market the patent design of an infant medicine dispenser. Due to a lack of
funds, we were not able to commence operations under the infant medicine dispenser business plan and were in the development stage
at the time of the Exchange.
As the result of the Exchange, we are
now a development stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties. In addition
to the development of our existing property interests, we intend to acquire additional oil and gas interests in the future. Our
management believes that our future growth will primarily occur through the acquisition of additional oil and gas properties following
extensive due diligence. We also may elect to proceed through collaborative agreements and joint ventures in order to share expertise
and reduce operating costs with other experts in the oil and gas industry. The analysis of new property interests will be undertaken
by or under the supervision of our management and our board of directors (our “Board”). Although the oil and gas industry
is currently very competitive, our management believes that many undervalued prospective properties remain available for acquisition
purposes.
For accounting purposes, the Exchange Agreement was accounted for as a reverse merger, since
the SFO Shareholders collectively beneficially owned approximately 84.8% of the Common Stock immediately after the Exchange.
On May 11, 2011, SFO acquired 100 percent
of the issued and outstanding units of membership interest of Santa Fe Land, LLC (such units, the “SFL Units”), a Texas
limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SFO (“SFL”). SFO issued an aggregate of 33,478,261 shares
of its common stock and 1,966,900 warrants to purchase its common stock to holders of SFL units of membership interest (the “SFL
Unit Holders”) in exchange for their SFL Units (the “SFL Acquisition”). The SFL Unit Holders were comprised entirely
of entities under the control of Tom Griffin, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and a related party (the “Principal
Stockholder”), including Long Branch Petroleum, LP (“LB”). The acquisition of SFL by SFO is being accounted for
as a combination of entities under common control. Therefore, the acquisition has been recorded at the historical cost basis of
the assets transferred.
In connection with the SFL Acquisition,
we acquired SFL’s oil and natural gas working interests of 100% with a net revenue interest of 75% for the Test Well in Comanche
County, Texas. Additionally, we acquired a mineral lease over approximately 76 acres of land as part of the SFL Acquisition.
The Company formally changed its name
from Baby All Corp. to Santa Fe Petroleum, Inc. on May 17, 2012.
Note 2 – Going Concern and Liquidity
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements,
the Company had a net loss of, $1,433,331 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and a net loss of $2,644,132 for period from
May 11, 2011 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2013. Additionally, at June 30, 2013, the Company had cash of only $323,
a working capital deficit of $1,315,923 and an accumulated deficit of $2,644,132, which could have a material impact on the Company’s
financial condition and operations.
Our net losses and lack of capital pose risks to our business and
stockholders by:
|
•
|
making
it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations;
|
|
•
|
impeding
us from obtaining additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes;
and
|
|
•
|
making
us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business and limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business.
|
The time required for us to become profitable is highly uncertain,
and we cannot assure you that we will achieve or sustain profitability or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet
our planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Our ability to obtain additional financing from other sources
also depends on many factors beyond our control, including the state of the capital markets and the prospects for our industry.
The necessary additional financing may not be available to us or may be available only on terms that would result in further dilution
to the current owners of our common stock.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification
of liabilities which may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity (deficit) include all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for interim period reporting in conjunction with the instructions to Form 10-Q Rule 10-01
of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information required by GAAP. In the opinion of management,
the condensed consolidated financial statements include the adjustments and accruals, all of which are of a normal recurring nature,
which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. These interim results are not necessarily indicative
of results for a full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2012.
Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may
differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. Estimates are used when accounting for stock-based transactions, accounts
payables and accrued expenses and taxes, among other matters.
Principles of Consolidation
The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions, accounts and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Development Stage Company
The Company is classified as a development stage company in accordance
with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 915,
Development Stage Entities,
since no revenues have been generated
from inception through the date of these consolidated financial statements. During the development stage, the Company has primarily
incurred compensation, professional, and consulting expenses associated with the Company’s contemplated equity financing
plan.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for
oil and natural gas producing activities, as further defined under ASC 932,
Extractive Activities - Oil and Natural Gas
.
Under these provisions, costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and natural gas properties, to drill exploratory wells that find
proved reserves, and to drill and equip development wells are capitalized.
Exploratory drilling costs are capitalized when incurred pending
the determination of whether a well has found proved reserves. A determination of whether a well has found proved reserves is made
shortly after drilling is completed. The determination is based on a process that relies on interpretations of available geologic,
geophysic, and engineering data. If a well is determined to be successful, the capitalized drilling costs will be reclassified
as part of the cost of the well. Capitalized costs of producing oil and natural gas interests are depleted on a unit-of-production
basis.
If a well is determined to be unsuccessful, the capitalized drilling
costs will be charged to expense in the period the determination is made. If a determination cannot be made as to whether the reserves
that have been found can be classified as proved, the cost of drilling the exploratory well is not carried as an asset for more
than one year following completion of drilling. If, after that year has passed, a determination that proved reserves exist cannot
be made, the well is assumed to be impaired and its costs are charged to expense. Its cost can, however, continue to be capitalized
if a sufficient quantity of reserves is discovered in the well to justify its completion as a producing well and the entity is
making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for the impairment of long-lived assets in
accordance with ASC 360-10,
Property, Plant and Equipment
, which requires that long-lived assets be, reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
the asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flow that the asset or asset group is expected
to generate. If such assets or asset groups are considered to be impaired, the loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying
amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A,
Expenses
of Offering
. Deferred offering costs consist principally of the fair value of stock grants and warrants issued to placement
agents that are related to the Company’s contemplated equity financing and will be charged to stockholders’ equity
upon the receipt of the contemplated equity financing proceeds or charged to expense if the contemplated equity financing is not
completed. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company received subscriptions of 1,319,450 shares of common stock for
$556,676 of gross proceeds less $83,736 of financing and offering expenses through a private placement memorandum at prices ranging
from $0.25 to $0.50 per share. Previously recorded deferred offering expenses of $23,784 were expensed. In the six months ended
June 30, 2013, the Company received subscriptions of 540,800 of shares of its $0.0001 par value common stock at prices ranging
from $0.10 to $0.25 per share. The gross proceeds were $105,200 less $60,705 of offering expenses.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the
asset and liability method of ASC 740,
Income Taxes
. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in
the period that includes the enactment date.
Effective May 11, 2011, with the commencement of operations, the
Company adopted provisions of ASC 740, Sections 25 through 60,
Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes
. These sections
provide detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized
in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective
date to be recognized upon the adoption of ASC 740 and in subsequent periods. Upon the adoption of ASC 740, the Company had no
unrecognized tax benefits. For the period from May 11, 2011, (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2012, no adjustments
were recognized for uncertain tax benefits. The Company’s initial tax year for 2011and the tax year for 2012 are subject
to audit.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company adopted ASC 718,
Compensation – Share Based
Compensation
, as of May 11, 2011. This statement requires the recognition of compensation expense measured at fair value when
the Company obtains employee services in stock-based payment transactions.
Net Income (loss) per Common Share
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with
ASC 260-10,
Earnings Per Share
. ASC 260-10 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”)
on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
No potential dilutive common shares are included in the computation of any diluted per share amount when a loss is reported. Accordingly,
we did not include 6,764,856 of potentially dilutive warrants at December 31, 2012 and for the three and six months ended June
30, 2013.
Legal Costs and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company incurs costs to retain
external legal counsel to advise it on regulatory, litigation and other matters. The Company expenses these costs as the related
services are received. If a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company recognizes an expense
for the estimated loss. If we have the potential to recover a portion of the estimated loss from a third party, the Company makes
a separate assessment of recoverability and reduces the estimated loss if recovery is also deemed probable.
Fair Value Estimates
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value
Measurements”. The objective of SFAS 157 (ASC 820) is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value
measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 (ASC 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS
157 (ASC 820) applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require
any new fair value measurements.
The Company measures its options and warrants at fair value in accordance
with SFAS 157 (ASC 820). SFAS 157 (ASC 820) specifies a valuation hierarchy based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques
are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs
reflect the Company’s own assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
|
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
|
|
|
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments 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 and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
|
|
Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
|
|
This hierarchy requires the Company to minimize the use of unobservable
inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when estimating fair value. The fair value of the stock based compensation
at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were as follows:

Note 4 - Acquisition of Oil and Gas Company
On May 11, 2011, SFO acquired 100 percent of the member units of
SFL by issuing 33,478,261 shares of common stock and 1,999,150 warrants to SFL member unit holders in exchange for their SFL member
units. The SFL member unit holders were comprised entirely of entities under the control of Tom Griffin, the Company’s Chairman
of the Board and a related party (the “Principal Stockholder”). As a result of the Share Exchange on May 10, 2012,
SFO and SFL are subsidiaries of the Company.
The acquisition of SFL is being accounted for as a combination of
entities under common control. Therefore, the acquisition has been recorded at the historical cost basis of the assets transferred.
The warrants to purchase common stock of the Company are at an exercise price of $0.50 per share and have a three year exercise
period.
The Company acquired SFL’s oil and natural gas working interests
of 100% with a net revenue interest of 75% for the Barnett Cody #1A in Comanche County, Texas. Additionally, the Company acquired
approximately 76 acres of land as part of the purchase.
The following table presents a summary of the historical costs of
assets and liabilities acquired at the date of acquisition:

Concurrent with this transaction, the Principal Stockholder assigned
10,446,782 of his personal shares and 1,573,956 warrants in the Company to employees and consultants of the Company for services
rendered. Under SAB Topic 5T,
Miscellaneous Accounting
, payments made by a principal stockholder to settle the Company’s
obligations were deemed to be capital contributions. Accordingly, the assignment of shares was recognized in the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements as stock based compensation and deferred offering costs of approximately $123,581 and
$23,784, respectively.
Note 5 - Oil and Natural Gas Property
The Company’s principal asset consists of an unevaluated oil
and natural gas property in Comanche County, Texas, which approximated $1,231,000 at June 30, 2013 and $737,000 as of December
31, 2012.
The Company’s original intent was to complete five test wells
on its unevaluated oil and natural gas property. The first test well was originally drilled in 2009 by a predecessor affiliate
company as the Barnett Cody #1A test. In October 2012, the company did a slick water/ acid frac into the Ellenberger formation
and due to the high volume of water production, the Company does not anticipate further developing of this test well but instead
intends to use it as a water disposal well for new drilling operations. Additional capital is needed for the Company to commence
further drilling activities for the other test wells. As a result of the additional capital requirements, the five test well drilling
project is not completed and the reservoir analysis has not yet been finished
.
As such, the Company has classified the oil
and natural gas property as unevaluated as of June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the primary term of the Company’s oil and
natural gas lease is through March 2014.
The Company issued 480,000 common shares at $0.10 a share on June
17, 2013 for a 1.33% working interest in the Hopkins Spindletop #1 well. The Company recorded $3,328 in revenue from the well in
the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Note 6 – Convertible Promissory Notes
The Company issued five convertible promissory notes in the first
week of February 2013 for a total principal amount of $200,000. The convertible notes accrue no interest and three of the notes,
which total $150,000 in principal amount, are due fourteen (14) months from the date of issuance while two of the notes totaling
$50,000 in principal amount are due fifteen (15) months from the date of issuance. At any time before the maturity dates, the notes
are convertible at $0.25 per share into common stock of the Company.
The convertible promissory notes were issued with a beneficial conversion
feature for which the intrinsic value was $112,000 and that amount was expensed as interest expense in the three months ended March
31, 2013.
The Company issued the convertible promissory notes as payment for
the acquisition of certain mineral leases in the state of Texas as well as for the settlement of the participation agreement with
Long Branch Petroleum LP.
On April 17, 2013 The Company executed a convertible promissory
note with JMJ Financial (the “Lender”) and received $50,000 in cash proceeds. The nominal principal amount is $335,000
with a $35,000 original issue discount, however the principal sum to be repaid is only the consideration actually paid by the Lender
plus 105 of the original issue discount. The original issue discount is also prorated based upon the consideration received by
the Company. The note has zero interest for the first three months, as long as the note is repaid within that time; otherwise,
the note bears interest at 12%. The note is convertible at the lesser of: $0.30 or 60% of the lowest trading price 25 days prior
to the conversion. Since the conversion feature is at a discount to market, there is a derivative liability associated with it
that was valued at $61,000 using the Black-Scholes method. The assumptions for this Black-Scholes calculation were as follows:

Given the terms of the note, the Company recorded a principal amount
of $55,833, with a debt discount of $5,833. The amortization of the debt discount was $1,215 for the three months ended June 30,
2013.
Note 7- Convertible Promissory Note – Related Party
The Company issued a $244,148 principal amount, convertible promissory
note on February 11, 2013 to Long Branch Petroleum LP. The convertible note accrues no interest and is due fifteen (15) months
from the date of issuance. The Long Branch Note also contains customary events of default and, at the election of Long Branch at
any time before the date of maturation, shall be convertible into the common stock of the Company at a $0.25 per share.
The convertible promissory notes were issued with a beneficial conversion
feature for which the intrinsic value was $136,723 and that amount was expensed as interest expense in the three months ended March
31, 2013.
The Company issued the convertible promissory note as payment for the acquisition of certain mineral leases in the state of Texas.

to register and sell in a self-directed offering 6,000,000 shares of newly issued common stock at an offering price of $0.0125
per share for proceeds of up to $75,000. The Registration Statement was declared effective on January 9, 2012. On February 6, 2012,
the Company issued 6,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the registration statement for proceeds of $75,000 and these shares
are freely-tradable as a result of the registration of the offer and sale of these shares on Form S-1.
From July 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012, the Company received
subscriptions of 1,319,450 shares of common stock for $556,676 of gross proceeds less $83,736 of financing and offering expenses
through a private placement memorandum (“PPM”). Common stock was sold at prices ranging from $0.25 to $0.50 per share

At June 30, 2013, 3,540,856 warrants expire on May 11, 2014 and
3,224,000 warrants expire January 31, 2015.
We have adopted the guidance of ASC 718-10-S99-1 for purposes of
determining the expected term for stock warrants. Due to limited historical data to rely upon, we use the "simplified"
