8. Asset retirement obligation
The Company incurs retirement obligations for certain assets. The fair values of these obligations are recorded as liabilities on a discounted basis, which is typically at the time the assets are installed. In the estimation of fair value, assumptions and judgments are used regarding such factors as the existence of a legal obligation for an asset retirement obligation, technical assessments of the assets, estimated amounts and timing of settlements, discount rates and inflation rates. Asset retirement obligations incurred in the current period were Level 3 fair value measurements. The costs associated with these liabilities are capitalized as part of the related assets and depreciated as the reserves are produced. Over time, the liabilities are accreted for the change in their present value.
The following table shows the changes in asset retirement obligation for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013:

The outstanding balance is a short term loan and bears no interest. The Company had insufficient funds on hand to repay this balance during the nine month period.
13. Fair value measurement
ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In addition to the methods and assumptions we use to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed in the Fair Value Measurements section above, we used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments.
- Cash and cash equivalents –carrying amount approximated fair value.
- Accounts receivable –carrying amount approximated fair value.
- Investment– shares acquired at cost in OJSC, a state owned company with a value determined by the government.
- Loan from related party– carrying amount approximated fair value due to the short term nature of the loan.
- Accounts payable– carrying amount approximated fair value.
The fair value of our financial instruments is presented in the table below (in USD):
| | September 30, 2014 | | | December 31, 2013 | | | Fair | | | | |
| | Carrying | | | Fair | | | Carrying | | | Fair | | | Value | | | | |

14. Contingencies and commitments
The oil and gas industry is affected by numerous laws and regulations, including discharge permit for drilling operations, drilling and abandonment bonds, reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, pooling of properties, taxation and other laws and regulations. Changes in any of these laws and regulations or the denial or vacating of permits and licenses could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. Generally, legal structures, codes and regulations in emerging markets are not as well defined as they can be in more developed markets and they are therefore more likely to change rapidly. In view of the many uncertainties with respect to current and future laws and regulations, including their applicability to the Company, we cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on future business operations of the Company. Management believes that the Company's operations currently comply in all material aspects with applicable laws and regulations. There are no pending or threatened enforcement actions related to any such laws or regulations.
-9-
There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or to which any of the Company's properties are subject. In addition, Management does not know of any such proceedings contemplated by a governmental institution.
15. Environmental matters
The Company is subject to national and local environmental law and regulations relating to water, air, hazardous substances and wastes, and threatened or endangered species that restrict or limit the Company's business activities or purposes of protecting human health and environment. Compliance with the multitude of regulations issued by the appropriate administrative agencies can be burdensome and costly. Management believes that Company's operations currently comply in all material respects with applicable national and local environmental laws and regulations.
16. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through April 24, 2015, which is the date of issuance of this Form 8-K/A and has determined that the following events require additional disclosure.
Work Program:
In the fourth quarter of 2014, Petroleum Sugd completed its 2015 work program budget. EPA, as a 57.42% owner of Petroleum Sugd has a funding obligation that amounts to USD 14.9 million relating to its portion of this 2015 work program for Petroleum Sugd in Tajikistan.
Social Responsibility Project:
On June 10, 2014, the governor of the Farkhor district of Tajikistan decreed that the Petroleum Sugd has a two year funding obligation related to a social responsibility project concerning the construction of a secondary school in this district.
