Item 1. Business.

Background

We were incorporated in Delaware under the name of Baby All Corp. on November 30, 2010, and on December 13, 2010, we entered into an agreement to acquire a patented infant medicine dispenser. This technology was designed to provide an additional way in which infants are given medicine and potentially liquid vitamins and other liquids in small quantities.

On January 9, 2012, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective a registration statement on Form S-1 in which we registered 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock to be sold for $0.03 per share. The shares were self-underwritten, and we sold all of the shares. Following the completion of the offering, the Company effected, on April 13, 2012, a 2.4 for one forward stock split.

The Company’s business plan was to seek third party entities interested in licensing the rights to manufacture and market the patent design of the infant medicine dispenser, an endeavor in which we did not succeed. The Company’s funds were otherwise insufficient to develop or commercialize the product, build or test a prototype, or determine its reliability or cost effectiveness. As a result, we were not able to commence operations under the infant medicine dispenser business plan.

On May 10, 2012, we 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 ”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of SFO (the “SFO Stock”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, each SFO Shareholder was issued one share of Common Stock in exchange for each of such holder’s shares of SFO Stock. As a result, (i) we issued an aggregate of 33,478,261 shares of our Common Stock to the holders of SFO Common Stock; (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.

Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the acquisition closed on May 20, 2012, and in connection with the Exchange Agreement, we changed the name of the Corporation from Baby All Corp. to Santa Fe Petroleum, Inc.

Santa Fe Operating, Inc.

The Company has not conducted or had conducted on its behalf any reserve study.

At the time of the acquisition of SFO, SFO owned a 75% net revenue and a 100% working interest on 76 acres in Comanche County, Texas, designated the Barnett Cody #1. SFO acquired its interest in 2009 and in October 2012 drilled a well to the Ellenberger formation. Though producing gas but little oil, the well generated excessive amounts of water, and the Company did not have access to a water disposal well nor the resources to develop one. The project did not appear to be commercial, and other projects appeared to provide better opportunities and returns. Despite having extended the original lease term two years, the Company abandoned the prospect at the end of 2013.

In February 2013, the Company acquired from Long Branch Petroleum, LLC a Texas Limited Liability Company (“Long Branch”) 100% working interest and an 87.5% net revenue interest on approximately 1600 acres in Brown and Comanche counties, Texas. Long Branch is wholly owned by the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer, Tom Griffin. We had entered into certain “Lease Acquisition Agreements” with this and another entity controlled by Tom Griffin, including Long Branch. We had guaranteed the obligations of these entities which would acquire properties from funds received from investors in these Griffin affiliated entities, these investors being assured a 50% return on the investment. This arrangement was entered immediately prior to the acquisition of SFO by the Company, and Long Branch had sold to five individuals or entities shares of SFO in addition utilizing the funds from these investors to acquire said Comanche/Brown County leases. For the acquisition of these leases, we issued $444,148 convertible promissory notes, convertible at $0.25 per share. In a separate agreement with these investors, we granted each a 2% net revenue interest in the properties. Simultaneously, we ended all obligations with entities affiliated with Mr. Griffin for the purchase of oil and gas properties.

 2 

 

The Company, again lacking resources to develop these properties, let the leases lapse in early 2014 after the expiration of the two year primary term of the leases.

Of the notes totaling $444,148 issued by the Company to acquire the Comanche/Brown leases, $244,148 principal amount was issued to Mr. Griffin. Mr. Griffin released the Company from that obligation at the end of 2014.

In May through October 2013 we acquired a 2.8% working interest, a 2.1% net revenue interest in a producing well in Hopkins County, Texas. We issued 1,000,002 shares of common stock to five individuals or entities for the interests. In 2014 we averaged approximately $1300.00 net revenue per month from this interest.

In September 2013 we acquired, with funding from a third party, a 100% working interest in 320 acres in Jack County, Texas, the lease expiring in September 2015 unless held by production. A dispute with the third party arose regarding the funding arrangement which was settled with the transfer of the interest to the third party, the Company retaining a one percent overriding royalty interest. The Company had granted, in connection with a $20,000 investment in the Company, a $0.13334% overriding royalty interest in addition to issuing 20,000 shares of stock to that individual. Part of the agreement with that individual requires that the Company pay the individual $20,000 plus 5% per annum if a well is not drilled on the property prior to September 25, 2015. This amount is recorded as a note, and to date such well has not been drilled.

In April 2015 we acquired a 19.58% Working Interest, a 15.9% Net Revenue Interest, on leases with seven potential productive zones located on 160 acres in Hughes County, Oklahoma. One well will be drilled on this lease in September or October, 2015. The seven formations begin around a depth of 3,000 feet and extend to approximately 4,400 feet. Our primary goal, however, is a formation located at a depth of approximately 3,400 feet. We do not anticipate any horizontal drilling on this prospect.

The prospect in Hughes county, which we designate as the Villines #1, is located on 160 acres on which a well can be drilled on each 40 acres, a single well holding the entire 160 acre tract. We believe that at least one other well can be drilled, depending on the success of the first well, and would probably be drilled in the first five to six months of 2016.

In July 2015 we acquired a 25% Working Interest, a 20% Net Revenue Interest in a lease located on 320 acres in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. We anticipate drilling on this well in September 2015, prior to drilling on the Villines #1. We believe that three wells can be drilled, depending on the success of the first well, which would probably be drilled in the first six months of 2016.

Business Strategy

Our goal over the next 24 months is to build production to our interest to 100 to 200 barrels of oil per day. While we will pursue the development of oil and gas properties, our emphasis will be on the drilling for oil in formations less than 5,000 deep that do not require horizontal drilling and that offset or extend producing wells. We anticipate that our early efforts will be for one or two wells and could involve purchasing existing producing wells whose production could be improved with modest investment.

We believe that pursuing smaller projects for the next 18 to 24 months can be achieved with modest and available financing, principally financing through debt. In the first half of 2015 we secured $400,000 in year debt with 8% annual simple interest. The notes mature from one to three years from date of issuance. This debt should allow us to complete the initial well in Hughes County and pursue another nearby if the opportunity presents itself. We are currently conducting and gathering modest geological data to determine if should seek to extend our existing prospect in Hughes county. If financing permits during the next 24 months, we may engage in drilling programs to develop larger prospects.

Competition

We compete with other companies for financing and for the acquisition of new oil and gas properties. Many of the oil and gas exploration companies with which we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of oil and gas properties of merit, on exploration of their properties, and on development of their properties. In addition, they may be able to afford more geological and other technical expertise in the targeting and exploration of oil and gas properties. This competition could result in competitors having properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could have an adverse impact on our ability to achieve the financing necessary for us to conduct further exploration of our acquired properties.

 3 

 

We will also compete with other smaller oil and gas exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in junior oil and gas exploration companies. The presence of competing smaller oil and as exploration companies may have an adverse impact on our ability to raise additional capital to fund our exploration programs if investors are of the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the oil and gas properties under investigation and the price of the investment offered to investors.

We also compete with other oil and gas companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional exploration and production, geological and engineering personnel services and supplies, for the drilling completion and production of hydrocarbon resources.

Intellectual Property

We do not own any copyrights, patents, or trademarks. We own the Internet domain name www.santafepetroleum.com. Under current domain name registration practices, no one else can obtain an identical domain name, but someone might obtain a similar name, or the identical name with a different suffix, such as “.org”, or with a country designation. The regulation of domain names in the United States and in foreign countries is subject to change, and we could be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that infringe or otherwise decrease the value of our domain names. During each of the last two fiscal years, we had no expenditures on research and development activities.

Governmental Regulation

Our oil and gas operations are subject to various federal, state, and local governmental regulations. Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling and abandonment bonds, reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, pooling of properties, and taxation. From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of oil and gas wells below actual production capacity to conserve supplies of oil and gas. The production, handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of oil and gas, by-products thereof, and other substances and materials produced or used in connection with oil and gas operations are also subject to regulation under federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating primarily to the protection of human health and the environment. State and local laws and regulations may affect the prices at which royalty owners are paid for their leases by requiring more stringent disclosure and certification requirements, adjusting interest rates for late payments, raising legal and administrative costs and imposing more costly default contractual terms. The requirements imposed by such laws and regulations are frequently changed and subject to interpretation, and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on our operations.

Environmental legislation provides for, among other things, restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases, or emissions of various substances produced in association with oil and gas operations. The legislation also requires that wells and facility sites be operated, maintained, abandoned, and reclaimed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authorities. Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures and a breach may result in the imposition of fines and penalties, some of which may be material. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner expected to result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and potentially increased capital expenditures and operating costs. The discharge of oil or gas or other pollutants into the air, soil, or water may give rise to liabilities to governments and third parties and may require us to incur costs to remedy such discharge. We cannot assure you that environmental laws will not result in a curtailment of production or a material increase in the costs of production, development, or exploration activities or otherwise adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, or prospects. We could incur significant liability for damages, clean-up costs, and penalties in the event of discharges into the environment, environmental damage caused by us or previous owners of our property, or non-compliance with environmental laws or regulations. In addition to actions brought by governmental agencies, we could face actions brought by private parties or citizens groups. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

 4 

 

Failure to comply with environmental laws could result in fines or penalties being owed to third parties or governmental entities, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. The Company believes that through its affiliate entities, it has all required permits, licenses, approvals and other authorizations that are necessary or required as of the date hereof.

Employees

We currently have no employees. Our officers and other personnel currently provide their services pursuant to engagement agreements. Until the scope of our operations warrants otherwise, we plan to outsource independent consultant engineers and geologists on a part time basis to conduct our operations.

Facilities

Our executive offices are located at 1333 West McDermott Drive, Suite 200, Allen, Texas 75013, where we occupy approximately 1,000 square feet of office space. We pay approximately $1,200 per month to lease this office space from an unaffiliated third party. The term of our lease is month-to-month. We believe that our current office space and facilities will have to be expanded in the near future to meet our growth plans.

Reports to Security Holders

At the current time, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act”), pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. We are currently not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The public may read and copy any materials we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC”) at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days during the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is http://www.sec.gov. Internet Website

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

Item 2. Financial Information.

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation.

This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “project” and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions or expectations.

General

The oil and gas industry is capital intensive. A well successfully completed will usually experience significant immediate decline in production in the early days and weeks after production commences. This decline in production continues after the first decline but generally at not as great a rate. The Company, to expand and to offset declining production, must successfully drill additional wells to replace this declining production.

The cost to drill and complete a well varies. A shallower well costs less to drill and complete than a deeper well. A well that requires horizontal drilling costs more than a well that does not require horizontal drilling to complete. For the foreseeable future, we plan to drill only vertical wells at relative shallow depths, depths less than 5,000 feet, and wells that do not require horizontal drilling to complete.

 5 

 

We also intend to drill wells with other participants so that the cost to drill a well is shared. This sharing may take the form of simply participating with other owners of working interests or sponsor drilling programs in which we partner with investors to drill a well.

Results of Operations – 2013 compared to 2014

The Company’s loss in 2014 declined to approximately $17,000 from almost $3,000,000 in 2013. Revenues from the production of hydrocarbons were roughly equal in both years, $23,100 in 2013 and $28,000 in 2014, all of the revenue from production in both years coming from the Hopkins Spindletop # 1. In 2014 the Company had additional revenue of approximately $22,500 from the sale of a lease.

The Company’s expenses declined significantly in 2014 from 2013. The Company incurred dry hole expense of approximately $1,230,000 in 2013 and none in 2014, the dry hole expense related to expenses incurred in drilling and ultimately abandoning the Barnett Cody # 1.

The Company also incurred significant compensation and consulting expenses in 2013 that were not incurred in 2014. Of the approximately $800,000 in compensation incurred in 2013, the majority, approximately $545,000, was paid through the issuance of stock and related to settlement for services rendered by an executive in 2012. In addition, the Company accrued $255,000 for compensation for an accountant and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. At the end of 2014, the Company’s Chief Executive forgave all indebtedness owed to him by the Company resulting in no compensation expense being incurred in 2014. In addition, the Company incurred almost $375,000 in consulting fees largely related to financial consulting services and financial public relations, expenses not incurred in 2014. Professional expenses declined in 2014 from 2013 because the Company’s reporting obligations pursuant to SEC regulations decreased in 2014 from 2013.

The Company’s derivative expense declined from almost $100,000 in 2013 to approximately $7,000 in 2014 because Company issued a convertible note in early 2013, a note that was convertible at a discount to the market value of the Company’s stock. At the end of 2014, $9,133 principal amount of that note remained outstanding but was discharged in early 2015. Because this note was convertible at below market price, the difference between the conversion price and the market price is accounted for as interest, and, consequently, the Company’s interest expense was approximately $260,000 in 2013 compared to $2,000 in 2014.

Results of Operations – Six months ended June 2015 compared to six months ended June 2014

We incurred a net loss of almost $290,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of approximately $6,100 for the six month period ended June 30, 2014. The oil and gas revenues in 2015 declined by approximately 62% when compared to 2014 revenues. The decline was the result of a 23% decline in oil produced and a 51% decline in the sale price per barrel in 2015. In 2015 we incurred significant personnel expenses for those restructuring the Company as well as significant professional costs, that is, legal and accounting costs, in preparing the Company to become a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Professional expenses and compensation expenses totaled almost $220,000 of the approximately $293,000 2015 expenses. In addition, we incurred $62,600 in interest expenses largely related to shares issued to four individuals who purchased $400,000 of 8% notes and also received shares in connection with the purchase of the notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the first six months of 2015, the Company raised approximately $450,000, the majority, $400,020, coming from four investors purchasing notes having 8% simple interest, with maturities ranging from one to three years, the earliest maturity coming in February 2016. At June 30, 2015, there remained approximately $280,000 from the securities the Company sold in 2015.

In the first six months of 2015, the Company focused on renegotiating existing debt and payables, formally becoming a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and acquiring prospects for development, eventually acquiring two prospects, the Lester, which will be drilled in September 2015, and the Villines which we anticipate being drilled soon thereafter. We believe that our current cash reserves are adequate to drill and complete these wells.

 6 

 

Over the next 18 months, we do not plan to increase significantly the number of Company employees or consultants though our expense in being or becoming a reporting company will continue. We may add a person whose background is in the oil and gas industry and an accounting professional. Though the funding that occurred in 2015 funded day to day expenses as well as anticipated drilling and completion costs on the Lester and Villines prospects, our plan is for these initial prospects and others we bring develop in the next several months to fund current day to day operations as soon as possible. We do not anticipate that during the ensuing 18 months such prospects will contribute sufficient cash to develop additional prospects.

We plan to develop additional prospects by selling securities which, we believe, will be through debt and drilling funds, funds that acquire working interests in which we receive a carried interest.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

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, account payables and accrued expenses and taxes, among other matters.

Basis of Presentation

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. As of December 31, 2014 there were no cash equivalents.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses advertising costs as these are incurred. There were no advertising costs in 2013 or 2014.

Revenue Recognition

Oil and gas revenues are recognized when oil and gas is produced and sold.

Development Stage Company

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915) (“the Update”) in these consolidated financial statements. The Update removes the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities from US GAAP. In addition, the Update eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to: (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. For public business entities, the amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The requirements of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

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.

 7 

 

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.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions, which at times exceed federally insured amounts. The Company has not experienced any material losses in such accounts.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

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 year ended December 31, 2013, no adjustments were recognized for uncertain tax benefits. The Company’s tax year for 2013 and the tax year for 2014 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.

 8 

 

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 potentially dilutive warrants at December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

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 reasonable 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 December 31, 2013 and 2014, were as follows:

(1) As of August 17, 2015, there were 115,981,997 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. This amount excludes 750,000 shares per month that are to be issued to each of Messrs. Karnes and Wachendorfer for services to the Company, shares that have not as of August 17, 2015, been issued. The value of these shares is $0.005 per share, the value of the Company’s stock price in March of this year. The percentages in the table are based on the assumption that such additional 750,000 shares per month commencing March 2015 have, in fact, been issued for services rendered through July 2015. Thus the number of shares deemed to be outstanding for purposes of this table are 123,481,997, an increase of 7,500,000 to reflect the 3,750,000 shares to which Messrs. Karnes and Wachendorfer are entitled for five months of services commencing March 2015.

In addition, the Company has agreed to issue an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for services to be rendered to the Company in 2015 by Messrs. Wachendorfer and Karnes.

At the beginning of 2013, the Company owed an affiliate of Mr. Griffin approximately $187,000 for expenses relating to the development of the Barnett Cody #1 well in which the affiliated entity acted as the operator.

As a management fee, the Company accrued almost $40,000 to a management Company owned by Mr. Griffin.

During 2013, the Company paid to these affiliates of Mr. Griffin approximately $40,000.

In early 2013, the Company acquired from an affiliate of Mr. Griffin a prospect located on approximately 1,600 acres in Brown and Comanche counties, Texas. We issued notes totaling $448,000 to certain individuals and the affiliated entity for the acquisition of this property. Of the $448,000, $248,000 was a note to the affiliated entity of Mr. Griffin, the entity from which we acquired the property.

The largest amount owed to Mr. Griffin and any affiliated entity during 2013 was approximately $625,000 plus $302,500 in accrued but unpaid wages.

In 2014, we incurred $1,000 in liabilities to an affiliated entity of Mr. Griffin and repaid approximately $18,000 in indebtedness we had incurred with the entities affiliated with Mr. Griffin in previous years.

In December 2014, Mr. Griffin, on behalf of himself and all the entities affiliated with him, forgave all outstanding indebtedness, or approximately $917,000. This indebtedness was treated as a contribution of capital to the Company by Mr. Griffin because the 20,000,000 share issuance to Mr. Griffin for services rendered to the Company in 2013, the original value of which was for compensation for services valued at $80,000 in that year.

The largest amount owed to Mr. Griffin and any affiliated entity during 2014 was approximately $648,000 plus $222,500 in accrued but unpaid wages.

Item 8. Legal Proceedings.

We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation.

The following description of our capital stock is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, with amendments, all of which have been filed as exhibits to this registration statement.

 15 

 

Description of Common Stock

As of August 17, 2015, there were 122,821,997 shares of our Common Stock outstanding. Each share of the Common Stock is entitled to share equally with each other share of Common Stock in dividends from sources legally available therefore, when, and if, declared by our Board of Directors and, upon our liquidation or dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, to share equally in the assets of the Company that are available for distribution to the holders of the Common Stock. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share for all purposes, except that in the election of directors, each holder shall have the right to vote such number of shares for as many persons as there are directors to be elected. Cumulative voting shall not be allowed in the election of directors or for any other purpose, and the holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights, redemption rights or rights of conversion with respect to the Common Stock. Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue additional shares of our Common Stock within the limits authorized by our Certificate of Incorporation and without stockholder action. All shares of Common Stock have equal voting rights.

Description of Preferred Stock

The shares of Preferred Stock could be issued from time to time by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion without further approval or authorization by the stockholders, in one or more series, each of which series could have any particular distinctive designations as well as relative rights and preferences as determined by our Board of Directors. The relative rights and preferences that may be determined by our Board of Directors in its discretion from time to time include but are not limited to the following:

·the rate of dividend and whether the dividends are to be cumulative and the priority, if any, of dividend payments relative to other series in the class;
·whether the shares of any such series may be redeemed, and if so, the redemption price and the terms and conditions of redemption;
·the amount payable with respect to such series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation and the priority, if any, of each series relative to other series in the class with respect to amounts payable upon liquidation and sinking fund provision, if any, for the redemption or purchase of the shares of that series; and
· the terms and conditions, if any, on which the shares of a series may be converted into or exchanged for shares of any class, whether common or preferred, or into shares of any series of the same class, and if provision is made for conversion or exchange, the times, prices, rates, adjustments and other terms.

We believe that the availability of preferred stock provides flexibility in structuring future financings, should the need for additional financing arise. We have no plans, understandings, arrangements, or agreements for issuing any shares of preferred stock at the present time.

Our authorized but unissued preferred stock could be issued in one or more transactions, which would make more difficult or costly, and less likely, a takeover of the Company. Issuing additional shares of stock would also have the effect of diluting the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of Company. Moreover, certain companies have issued rights to purchase their preferred stock, with such rights having terms designed to encourage in certain potential acquisitions negotiation with the board. The authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock would be available for use in connection with the issuance of such rights. The Company does not intend to adopt any anti-takeover measures at the present time.

Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Article Nine of our amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation provide that to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the Company may indemnify our directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding in which such person was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation. The indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment in the Company may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our bylaws are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Santa Fe Petroleum, Inc.

Dallas, Texas

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Santa Fe Petroleum, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the 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 consolidated 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 audits 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 consolidated financial reporting.  Accordingly we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Santa Fe Petroleum, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2014, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and its limited capital resources raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Santa Fe Petroleum, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014

 

Note 1 - Nature of Operations

 

Santa Fe Petroleum, Inc. (“SFPI” or “Company”) is engaged primarily in the acquisition, development, production and sale of oil and gas in the United States.

 

On May 10, 2012 the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Santa Fe Operating, Inc. (“SFO”). SFO owned a 75% net revenue and a 100% working interest on 76 acres in Comanche County, Texas, designated the Barnett Cody #1. SFO acquired its interest in 2009 and in October 2012 drilled a well to the Ellenberger formation. Though producing gas but little oil, the well generated excessive amounts of water, and the Company did not have access to a water disposal well nor the resources to develop one. The Company abandoned the prospect at the end of 2013 and recognized a $768,711 dry hole expense.

 

In February 2013, the Company acquired from Long Branch Petroleum, LLC a Texas limited liability company (“Long Branch”) 100% working interest and an 87.5% net revenue interest on approximately 1600 acres in Brown and Comanche counties, Texas. Long Branch is wholly owned by the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer. The Company had entered into certain “Lease Acquisition Agreements” with this and another entity controlled by Tom Griffin, including Long Branch. The Company had guaranteed the obligations of these entities which would acquire properties from funds received from investors in these Griffin affiliated entities, these investors being assured a 50% return on the investment. This arrangement was entered immediately prior to the acquisition of Santa Fe Operating, Inc. by the Company, and Long Branch had sold to five individuals or entities shares of SFO in addition utilizing the funds from these investors to acquire said Comanche/Brown County leases. We issued $444,148 of convertible promissory notes, convertible at $0.25 per share in connection with this acquisition. In a separate agreement with these investors, we granted each a 2% net revenue interest in the properties. Simultaneously, we ended all obligations with entities affiliated with Mr. Griffin for the purchase of oil and gas properties. The Company decided in 2013 not to develop these leases and allowed the leases to lapse in early 2014 after the expiration of the two year primary term of the leases. The Company recognized as dry hole expense the $444,148 investment at December 31, 2013.

 

In May through October 2013 the Company acquired a 2.8% working interest, a 2.1% net revenue interest in a producing well in Hopkins County, Texas. The Company issued 1,000,002 shares of common stock to five individuals or entities for the interests, valued at $105,200.

 

In September 2013 the Company acquired a 100% working interest in 320 acres in Jack County, Texas, the lease expiring in September 2015 unless held by production. The Company purchased the property pursuant to funding from a third party. A dispute regarding the funding arrangement arose with the third party which was settled with the transfer of the interest to the third party, the Company retaining a one percent overriding royalty interest. The Company had granted, in connection with a $20,000 investment in the Company, a $0.13334% overriding royalty interest in addition to issuing 20,000 shares of stock to that individual. Part of the agreement with that individual requires that the Company pay the individual $20,000 plus 5% per annum if a well is not drilled on the property prior to September 25, 2015.

 

Note 2 - Going Concern and Liquidity 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $2,921,891 for the period ending December 31, 2013, a net loss of $17,236 for the year ended December 31, 2014 and a net loss of $4,149,928 since inception. Further, at December 31, 2014, the Company had cash of only $119, a working capital deficit of $953,615 accumulated deficit of $4,149,928, 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 limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business.

 

 F-7 

 

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 business. 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

 

Use of Estimates

 

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, account payables and accrued expenses and taxes, among other matters.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. As of December 31, 2014 there were no cash equivalents.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as these are incurred. There were no advertising costs in 2013 or 2014.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Oil and gas revenues are recognized when oil and gas is produced and sold.

 

Development Stage Company

 

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915) (“the Update”) in these consolidated financial statements. The Update removes the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities from US GAAP. In addition, the Update eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to: (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. For public business entities, the amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The requirements of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

 F-8 

 

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.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions, which at times exceed federally insured amounts. The Company has not experienced any material losses in such accounts.

 

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

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 year ended December 31, 2013, no adjustments were recognized for uncertain tax benefits. The Company’s tax year for 2013 and the tax year for 2014 are subject to audit. 

  

 F-9 

 

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 potentially dilutive warrants at December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

 

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 reasonable 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 December 31, 2013 and 2014, were as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

No recent accounting pronouncements or other authoritative guidance have been issued that management considers likely to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On April 30, 2014, the Company entered in a “Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release” with the lender that provided the $340,000 land loan, which proceeds were used to acquire the Jack County lease in 2013. The lender and an unrelated third party agreed to:

 

 F-11 

 

·Assume responsibility for the development of the lease

 

·The lender deemed that the land loan was satisfied and discharged in full

 

·Lender agreed to pay a total of $14,250 to reimburse expenses incurred related to the lease, which included $9,250 paid to the Company

 

·The Company retained a one percent (1%) overriding royalty interest in the production revenues from any wells operated on the lease

We have engaged, and may engage in the future, in transactions with our affiliates or stockholders, officers and directors of our affiliates. TexTron Southwest, Inc. (“TexTron”) provides operating services including drilling of wells and ongoing operating management for oil and gas entities and is owned by entities under the control of the principal stockholder/chief executive officer.

 

In 2013 the Company issued its common stock to two executive officers as follows:

 

             
   Name   Number of Shares      Value Reason
Bruce Hall   3,500,000   $490,000   Accrued Compensation
        35,000   Accounts Payable
             
Tom Griffin   20,000,000   80,000   Services Rendered

 

In January 2015, Messrs. Edward Wachendorfer and Karl Karnes agreed to being the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, respectively. As part of that agreement, Mr. Griffin, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer, agreed to transfer to each 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the Company has agreed to issue an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for services to be rendered to the Company in 2015 by Messrs. Wachendorfer and Karnes. As a result of these transactions, the number of shares owned by Messrs. Wachendorfer and Karnes in the aggregate exceeded that owned by Mr. Griffin. Prior to these actions Mr. Griffin owned 45,497,405 common shares or 47.8% of total outstanding common shares at December 31, 2014. In connection with the change in control, Mr. Griffin agreed to contribute to the Company all balances due to him personally and/or his affiliates. The following summarizes the contributed capital:

 

Accounts payable, related party  $371,488 
Accrued compensation   302,350 
Note Payable   244,148 
   $917,986 

 

This contributed balance has been reflected in the December 31, 2014 consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit.

 

Due to the change in control Mr. Edward Wachendorfer became a related party. Mr. Wachendorfer was issued the following shares of the Company’s common stock:

 

  • 2013 – issued 840,000 shares valued at $3,360 for legal services

  • 2014 – issued 3,324,603 shares valued at $17,170 for legal services

Note 8 - Commitment and Contingencies

 

From time-to-time the Company may become subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims in the ordinary course of business including proceedings related to environmental and other matters. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. The Company is unaware of any claim or lawsuit as of and December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014.

 

The Company is subject to various possible contingencies that arise primarily from interpretation of federal and state laws and regulations affecting the oil and natural gas industry. Such contingencies include differing interpretations as to the prices at which oil and natural gas sales may be made, the prices at which royalty owners may be paid for production from their leases, environmental issues and other matters. Although management believes that it has complied with the various laws and regulations, administrative rulings and interpretations thereof, adjustments could be required as new interpretations and regulations are issued. In addition, environmental matters are subject to regulation by various federal and state agencies.

Note 9 – Notes Payable

 

The following are the components of notes payable:

     2013      2014  
Convertible Note payable – JMJ Financial – Notes incur a onetime interest charge of 12% if held longer than 3 months. The notes are convertible at the lower of $0.30 or 60% of the lowest trading price in the 25 trading day preceding conversion. The note matured on April 17, 2014.
  $28,083   $9,133 
Five (5) Unsecured Convertible Promissory notes – non-interest bearing, maturing fourteen months after issuance. All notes matured in April and May 2014. The notes are convertible at a rate of $0.25 per share, into 800,000 total shares. The beneficial conversion feature was valued as $112,000 and was recorded as interest expense in 2013.
   200,000    200,000 
Land Bank Loan – non-interest bearing loan dated July 26, 2013, with a maturity of two years was issued in connection with the acquisition of the Jack County lease.
   340,000    —   
Total notes payable  $568,083   $209,133 

 

The five unsecured convertible promissory notes were assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition of the Comanche and Brown County leases. Simultaneous with the debt assumption, the Company entered into a “Settlement and Release Agreement” with each of the five individual lenders, which include the following provisions:

i. The Company agreed to grant each lender a 2% net revenue interest in the leases
   
ii. The Company issued a new note agreement in favor of the lender
   
iii. The lenders agreed to terminate that certain Participation Agreement between the Company and the lenders dated February, 2013.

Related Party Note Payable

Convertible debt to a related party consists of one note payable assumed from a related party, in connection with the acquisition of the Comanche and Brown County leases, with a balance due of $244,148 at December 31, 2013. The note matured in May 2014. The note was forgiven by the majority shareholder in 2014, and treated as a contribution to capital.

Long-Term Debt Other

The long-term debt other is owed to an individual and the term of this debt was set forth in a “Purchase Agreement” dated September 25, 2013 and included the following provisions:

  1. Individual was sold a .133334% overriding royalty interest in the Jack County, Texas lease owned by the Company for $20,000
  2. Individual was issued 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (valued at $800)
  3. In the event the first oil/gas well was not drilled within twelve(12) months from September 25, 2013, at the election of the individual, the overriding royalty should be exchanged for a $20,000 note payable, bearing interest at 5% per annum and matures in twenty four (24) months

 F-15 

 

Due to the Company’s inability to obtain sufficient funds to develop the Jack County lease, the $20,000 has been reflected as a note payable since the inception of the debt.

Note 10 – Subsequent Event

 

As of August 30, 2015 the Company had issued a total of 26,886,875 shares of its common stock to eighteen (18) individuals, of which 14,040,000 shares were issued for cash (average price $0.005 per share), 6,646,875 shares were issued for services rendered (average value per share of $0.007), 6,000,000 shares were issued for interest on notes payable (average price $0.0069) and 200,000 shares were issued to a landman (at $0.005).

 

In April 2015 we acquired a 19.58% Working Interest, a 15.9% Net Revenue Interest, on leases for seven zones located on 160 acres in Hughes County Oklahoma. The seven formations begin around a depth of 3,000 feet and extend to approximately 4,400 feet. Our primary goal, however, is a formation located at a depth of approximately 3,400 feet. We do not anticipate any horizontal drilling on this prospect.

 

The prospect in Hughes County, which we designate as the Villines #1, is located on 160 acres on which a well can be drilled on each 40 acres, a single well holding the entire 160 acre tract. We believe that at least one other well can be drilled, depending on the success of the first well.

 

In July 2015 we acquired a 25% Working Interest, a 20% Net Revenue Interest on leases totaling 320 acres in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma.

 

From February 20, 2015 to June 30, 2015 the Company borrowed $400,020 from four individuals. Each note payable has a twelve (12) to thirty six (36) month maturity and accrues interest at 8% per annum.

Santa Fe Petroleum, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

(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 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 expenses 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.

The Company formally changed its name from Baby All Corp. to Santa Fe Petroleum, Inc. on May 17, 2012.

 F-22 

 

Note 2 - Going Concern and Liquidity

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $287,322 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Additionally, at June 30, 2015, the Company had cash of $281,811, a working capital deficit of $1,128,137 and an accumulated deficit of $4,437,250, which has a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and operations.

 

Our accumulated losses and lack of working 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 limit 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 business. 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 – Basis of Presentation

  

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ 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 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

 F-23 

 

Note 4 – Notes Payable

 

From February 20, 2015 to June 30, 2015 the Company borrowed $400,020 from four individuals. The maturity dates of the four notes vary in length from twelve (12) to thirty six (36) months and all notes accrue interest at 8% per annum. These notes payable are reflected as current liabilities, as management has determined that they will be repaid within a twelve month period.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) is expressly authorized to provide for the issue of all or any unissued and undesignated shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and to determine or alter for each series, such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of such shares (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) and as may be permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The Board of Directors is also expressly authorized to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series. In case the number of shares of any such series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status that they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of stock of the corporation representing a majority of the votes represented by all outstanding shares of stock of the corporation entitled to vote, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

ARTICLE FIVE

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors shall have the power, both before and after receipt of any payments for any of the Corporation’s capital stock, to adopt amend, repeal or otherwise alter the Bylaws of the Corporation without any action on the part of the stockholders; provided, however, that the grant of such power to the Board of Directors shall not divest the stockholders of nor limit their power, to adopt, amend, repeal or otherwise alter the Bylaws.

ARTICLE SIX

Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so provide.

ARTICLE SEVEN

The Corporation reserves the right to adopt, repeal, rescind or amend in any respect any provisions contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by applicable law, and all rights conferred on stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

ARTICLE EIGHT

A director of the Corporation shall, to the full extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation law as it now exists or as it may hereafter be amended, not be liable to the Corporation or to stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article Eight, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article Eight, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article Eight in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article Eight would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE NINE

The Corporation may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation or serves or served at any other enterprise as a director, officer, employee or agent at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

ARTICLE TEN

An “Excluded Opportunity” is any potential transaction or matter that may be an opportunity for the Corporation that is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or which otherwise comes into the possession of (i) the Corporation or (ii) any of its Affiliates (each a “Covered Person” and collectively, “Covered Persons”), unless such potential transaction or matter is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or otherwise comes into the possession of, a Covered Person expressly and solely in such Covered Person’s capacity as an Affiliate. An “Affiliate” is, with respect to the Corporation, any other person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such person, which shall include any Director (including in such person’s capacity as an observer on any committee of the Board of Directors) who has been designated by the Corporation.
