EXPLANATORY NOTE
Friendly Energy Exploration (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (S.E.C.) on March 31, 2010. The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to respond to S.E. C. comments made to the Company in a letter dated May 6, 2010. As a result of these comments, the financial statements have been restated as described in Note 11 to the financial statements. Also, several disclosures have been expanded. This Amendment No. 1 does not otherwise update information in the Original Filing to reflect facts or events occurring subsequent to the date of the Original Filing.
Currently-dated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have been included as exhibits to this Amendment No. 1.
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
History
Friendly Energy Exploration was formed under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 7, 1993, under the name Eco-Systems Marketing. Eco-Systems subsequently changed its name to Rama Financial Corporation. An amendment to the Articles of Incorporation was filed changing the corporate name to Friendly Energy Corporation and then to Friendly Energy Exploration in April 2008.
Friendly Energy Exploration was originally incorporated to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Nevada. Friendly Energy Exploration, from its inception in 1993 to 2005, was engaged primarily in establishing itself as an electric service provider.
Overview
Our primary focus is on acquiring leases and wells in established oil fields to minimize risk. We expect to build share value through revenue from oil & gas wells.
We have reworked three existing oil wells on one of the leases and soon will be pumping into our refurbished tank farm.
During 2010, we plan to rework an additional fifteen wells, to reenter seven plugged wells and to drill at least two “in-fill” wells on the leases. The estimated cost is $400,000 to $500,000 for rework and reentry including additional infrastructure costs. Drilling and completing a Fry well will cost $150,000 to $180,000. Drilling and completing a Marble Falls well will cos t $250,000 to $300,000. It may be possible to fund a substantial part of this cost from oil & gas revenues.
Mission
Friendly Energy Exploration engages in the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of oil and gas properties in the United States. Our primary focus is on acquiring leases and wells in established oil fields to minimize risk. The Company expects to build share value through revenue from oil and gas wells.
The Company was founded in 1993. It was originally an Energy Service Provider (ESP) for electricity in California after the State deregulated power. A few years later the State reversed course and put ESPs out of business. It then began marketing cogeneration equipment to companies concerne d about high electricity prices and brownouts. For several years the Company was dormant and then in 2005 began investing in oil and gas joint ventures. The Company has recently found a niche market acquiring leases in established, low risk oil fields which have been poorly operated and shut-in. In the past six months the acquisition program has been very successful. Four leases have been acquired in Central Texas totaling 1,036 acres of which approximately 560 acres are in defined oil and gas fields. Another lease totaling approximately 1,000 acres is being negotiated. The Company is a registered, “bonded” operator in Texas (Operator No. 286572). Therefore, we are in full control of all operations.
5
The Company is a fully reporting public company. It is currently listed on Pink Sheets with symbol “FEGR”. It was listed on the Bulletin Board before it became dormant.
The following has been accomplished in 2009:
·
Acquired four oil & gas leases on 1,036 acres in Central Texas, including 25 producing and shut-in wells. There are also 13 plugged wells that are candidates for reentry. Approximately 560 acres are in defined oil & gas fields. These fields have several proven oil and gas zones, which enhances our potential production. There are many opportunities for in-fill drilling. &n bsp;Allowed well spacing is 5 acres for shallow wells (approximately 1,200 feet) and 10 acre spacing for deeper wells (approximately 2,600 feet).
·
Brought back into production 3 wells on one of its leases to date.
The Company plans the following activities over the next year:
·
Of the 25 producing and shut-in wells on two of the Central Texas leases, bring at least fifteen more wells back into production in addition to the three that have already b een reworked.
·
Of the 13 plugged wells on the other two leases, reenter and bring seven back into production. A geologist will evaluate each well before reentry is started.
·
Drill at least two in-fill wells on the Central Texas leases.
·
Acquire additional leases.
Our Oil and Gas Property
There are several oil & gas zones underlying the four leases. The wells are mostly completed as Fry or Gray Sands wells at a depth of approximately 1,200 feet. Four wells are completed in the Marble Falls sands at a depth of approximately 2,700 feet. None of the wells on the leases were completed in the Caddo gas zone, which is approximately 300 feet below the Fry Sands; we may want to recomplete some of the Fry wells as Caddo wells. About one-half mile from our Panther Creek lease, a Caddo well was completed recently with an initial potential of 14 BBL/day and 150 MCF/day. And, none of our wells have been completed in the Barnett Shale gas zone, which lies a little below the Marble Falls zone; this zone has not been explored much in Brown County.
Spacing for Fry and Gray wells has been reduced to 5 acres and spacing for Marble Falls and Chappel Reef wells has been reduced to 10 acres—half of the old spacing. Many in-fill wells could be drilled on the leases.
Panther Creek Lease: The Panther Creek lease totals 115 acres of which approximately 70% is in a defined Fry Sand oil field. Of the 13 wells, one is a water supply well, three are water injection wells and nine are Fry wells. The water supply well is 2,885 feet deep; we expect to recomplete as a Marble Falls well or possibly a Barnett Shale well. The original Fry well is 2, 860 feet deep; we expect to recomplete as a Marble Falls well or possibly a Barnett Shale well. It may be feasible to recomplete some of the other Fry wells in the Caddo or Marble Falls. Panther Creek has a 630 barrel tank farm and infrastructure work is completed.
Byler Lease: The Byler lease totals 372 acres of which approximately 57% is in a defined Fry Sand oil field. Of the 17 wells, two are water injection wells, 11 are Fry wells and four are Marble Falls wells. Of the Fry wells, we expect to rework only six, because the others will probably be uneconomic to rework. Of the Marble Falls wells, we expect to rework three, because one had a tool dropped down the hole and will probably be uneconomic to rework. It may be feasible to drill some of the Fry wells deeper and recomplete in the Caddo or Marble Falls. Two new tank farms and other infrastructure are needed on the Byler lease.
Mud Creek Lease: The Mud Creek lease totals 355 acres of which approximately 56% is in a defined Fry Sand oil field. Eight wells that had been producing were plugged several years ago at the mineral owners request to get rid of a fraudulent operator. We expect to reenter all eight wells, but for planning purposes we have assumed reentry of five wells. It may be feasible to recomplete some of these Fry wells in the Caddo or Marble Falls. A new tank farm and other infrastructure are needed on the Mud Creek lease.
6
Hutchins Lease: The Hutchins lease totals 194 acres of which approximately 30% is in defined oil fields. There are four Fry Sand wells and one Chappel Reef well. The latter well was the discovery well for the Chappel Reef and has 300 feet of sands. There were good oil shows, which were estimated could produce 35 to 40 BOPD, but the gas was even better—maximum open flow potential was 2,500 MCF per day. In production it did 500 MCF per day with gradual decline. These wells were plugged in 2001 when the operator had financial problems and oil and gas prices were very low. We expect to reenter the Chappel Reef well and one of the Fry Sand wells. There is still very good potential for oil and gas production from these wells. There is very good potential for in-field drilling. A new tank farm and other infrastructure are needed on the Hutchins lease.
Future Plans
During the remainder of 2010, we plan to rework an additional fifteen wells, reenter seven o f the plugged wells and to drill at least two “in-fill” wells on the leases, as mentioned above. The estimated cost is $400,000 to $500,000 for rework and reentry including additional infrastructure costs. Drilling and completing a Fry well will cost $150,000 to $180,000. Drilling and completing a Marble Falls well will cost $250,000 to $300,000.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
On May 6, 2010, the S.E.C. sent a letter to the Company with comments on our 2009 Form 10-K. This amended 2009 Form 10-K responds to these comments.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our principal executive office is located at 502 North Division Street, Carson City, NV 89703. Our telephone number is (702) 953-0411. Friendly Energy Exploration does not presently own any interests in real estate.

7
The Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 3 months or less when purchased.
In 2009, the Red Oak, Talpa and West Peach projects were not generating income and are unlikely to generate future revenues. Management has impaired the value of these investments.
Proven Reserves: The oil & gas leases acquired in 2009 have a number of existing wells, many of which were shut-in. We are in the process of re-working these existing wells. All of these leases are in Texas. At this time, we do not have proven developed or undeveloped reserve estimates for t hese leases, but plan to have proven reserve estimates made in 2010.
Products Sold: No oil & gas products had been sold by the company during the last three fiscal years.
Drilling Activities: No exploratory or development wells have been drilled by the company during the last three fiscal years. The only exploratory and development activity during the last three fiscal years was the company’s participation in the drilling of the Red Oak well.
Present Activities: The Company has no wells in the process of being drilled.
Delivery Commitments: The company has no commitments to pro vide a fixed and determinable quantity of oil or gas in the near future under existing contracts or arrangements.
Oil & Gas Properties, Wells, Operations and Acreage: The following table shows the number of wells and acres as of December 31, 2009.
| | | |
| | Gross | Net
| Productive Oil Wells | 3 | 3 |
| Developed Acreage | 15 | 15 |
| Undeveloped Acreage | 545 | 545 |
“Gross” means the company owns an interest. “Net” is the fractional ownership bas ed on the percentage of the working interest owned by the company. In this case, the company owns 100% of the working interest so the “gross” and “net” are the same. “Productive” means a producing well or a well mechanically capable of production. “Developed Acreage” is based on the legal well spacing for productive wells. “Undeveloped Acreage” is based on leased acres on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of economic quantities of oil or gas. Because the company has a number of wells that are in the process of being reworked to make them productive again, we have included in the “Undeveloped Acreage” the well spacing for these wells that are being reworked. None of the wells have multiple completions.
Lease Terms: The Panther Creek lease is held by prod uction into the tank farm. The Byler Lease requires that production from an existing well bore commence by April 14, 2010 (production into the tank farm began in early April 2010 and the lease is now held by production). The Mud Creek lease requires that production from re-entering a plugged well or drilling a new well commence by July 24, 2010. The Hutchins lease requires that production from drilling a new well commence by December 31, 2010.

Our common stock is currently quoted on Pink Sheets. Our common stock is quoted on Pink Sheets under the symbol “FEGR.PK” since 2008. Because we are quoted on Pink Sheets, our securities may be less liquid, receive less coverage by security analysts and news media, and generate lower prices than might otherwise be obtained if they were listed on a national securities exchange. The reported high and low bid and ask prices for the common stock are shown below for the period from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009.

Our common stock is subject to rules adopted by the Commission regula ting broker dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Those disclosure rules applicable to “penny stocks” require a broker dealer, prior to a transaction in a “penny stock” not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized list disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission. That disclosure document advises an investor that investment in “penny stocks” can be very risky and that the investor’s salesperson or broker is not an impartial advisor but rather paid to sell the shares. The disclosure contains further warnings for the investor to exercise caution in connection with an investment in “penny stocks,” to independently investigate the security, as well as the salesperson with whom the investor is working and to understand the risky nature of an investment in this security. The broker dealer must also provide the customer with certain other information and must make a special written determ ination that the “penny stock” is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Further, the rules require that, following the proposed transaction, the broker provide the customer with monthly account statements containing market information about the prices of the securities.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. Many brokers may be unwilling to engage in transactions in our common stock because of the added disclosure requirements, thereby making it more difficult for stockholders to dispose of their shares.

We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
Historical Background and Overview
Overview
For the year ended December 31, 2009, we had total assets of $86,005, compared to total assets in 2008 of $650,729. The decrease in assets was due to writing off uncollectable notes and impairment of the Red Oak, Talpa and West Peach investments. This decrease in assets was partially offset by the acquisitio n of four oil and gas leases in Central Texas for $61,050. We believe these assets, which include 25 producing or shut-in oil wells, are worth substantially more than we paid for them. We have brought three of the wells back into production by the end of 2009, and have started rework on the remaining wells. One of the leases has approximately 180 barrels of oil in its tank farm at the end of 2009. The value of this oil will not be included in the financial statements until it is sold. See Item 1: Business for additional information about the four oil and gas leases.
At December 31, 2009, we had current liabilities of $1,588,281, which was represented by accounts payable, payroll liabilities, judgment payable, deferred salaries, interest payable and loans payable. At December 31, 2008 we had current liabilities of $1,520,961. A conversion of some of the loans payable to officers to prefer red shares offset much of the increase in deferred salaries.
Results of Operations
We did not realize any revenue from operations in 2009. In 2008, we received $5,035 from the Asher #1 oil well. We will start receiving revenues from the oil and gas wells on our four Central Texas leases in early 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the loss from operations is $783,179 (2008 - $315,540). This increase in loss was due primarily to the bad debt expense for the notes that were written off and to oil well operations costs for reworking oil wells of the Central Texas leases and for upgrading and repairing infrastructure on the leases. From February 11, 2005 (inception of oil and gas exploration operations) to December 31, 2009, Friendly Energy Exploration has incurred cumulative net operating losses of $2,782,139.
Cash Requirements
Our cash on hand as of December 31, 2009 is 15,038. We do not have sufficient cash on hand to pay the costs of our operations as projected to twelve (12) months or less or to fund our operations for that same period of time. We will require additional financing in order to proceed with some or all of our goals as projected over the next twelve (12) months. We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with any of our goals projected over the next twelve (12) months and beyond.
Any additional growth of the Company will require additional cash infusions. We may face expenses or other circumstances such that we will have additional fin ancing requirements. In such event, the amount of additional capital we may need to raise will depend on a number of factors. These factors primarily include the extent to which we can achieve revenue growth, the profitability of such revenues, operating expenses, research and development expenses, and capital expenditures. Given the number of programs that we have ongoing and not complete, it is not possible to predict the extent or cost of these additional financing requirements.
11
Notwithstanding the numerous factors that our cash requirements depend on, and the uncertainties associated with each of the major revenue opportunities that we have, we believe that our plan of operation can build long-term value if we are able to demonstrate clear progress toward our objectives.
Progress in the development of our business plan will likely lend credibility to our plan to achieve profitability.
The failure to secure any necessary outside funding could have an adverse affect on our development and results therefrom and a corresponding negative impact on shareholder liquidity.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, to require reporting entities to separately disclose the amounts and business rationale for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and separately present information regarding purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures on a gross basis. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, is effec tive for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of disclosures regarding the purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.
In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 505, Equity, where entities that declare dividends to shareholders that may be paid in cash or shares at the election of the shareholders are considered to be a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in EPS, and is not accounted for as a stock dividend. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and is to be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This standard clarifies the existing accounting guidance such that tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality, shall be excluded from the scope of the software revenue recognition accounting standards. Accordingly, sales of these products may fall within the scope of other revenue recognition standards or may now be within the scope of this standard and may require an allocation of the arrangement consideration for each element of the arrangement. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.
In October 2009, FASB issued an amend ment to the accounting standards related to the accounting for revenue in arrangements with multiple deliverables including how the arrangement consideration is allocated among delivered and undelivered items of the arrangement. Among the amendments, this standard eliminated the use of the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations and requires an entity to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable based on an estimated selling price of each individual deliverable in the arrangement in the absence of having vendor-specific objective evidence or other third party evidence of fair value of the undelivered items. This standard also provides further
12
guidance on how to determine a separate unit of ac counting in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement and expands the disclosure requirements about the judgments made in applying the estimated selling price method and how those judgments affect the timing or amount of revenue recognition. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.
In August 2009, FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities and that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. This standard is effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on the Com pany’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. ASC 105 does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but did eliminate all references to pre-codification standards.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To: the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Friendly Energy Exploration
502 North Division Street
Carson City, Nevada 89703
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Friendly Energy Exploration as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations and of cash flows for the years then ended, and I have audited the period from inception of the development stage (January 7, 1993) through February 10, 2005 and the period from inception of the exploration stage (February 11, 2005) through December 31, 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). &nb sp;Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, based on my audit, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Friendly Energy Exploration as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the period from inception of the development stage (January 7, 1993) through Februar y 10, 2005 and the period from inception of the exploration stage (February 11, 2005) through December 31, 2009, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of the effectiveness of its documented internal controls over financial reporting.

FRIENDLY ENERGY EXPLORATION
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 2009
1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND HISTORY
Friendly Energy Corp., Nevada corporation, (hereinafter referred to as the “Company” or “Friendly Energy”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 7, 1993 under the name Eco-Systems Marketing. The company was originally in the business of selling electric power and related services to small and medium sized businesses in a newly deregulated California market. The Company is now in the business of oil and gas exploration and operations. The Company has participated in the drilling of two oil wells in Oklahoma and a gas well in Iowa. In 2009, the Company acquired four oil and gas leases in central Texas totaling 1,036 acres with twenty-five wells.
The Company is considered an exploration stage company in accordance with by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, Development Stage Entities. The Company entered the oil and gas exploration business in February 2005, so the cumulative columns in the financial statements include activities for the development stage prior to February 2005 and for the exploration stage beginning February 2005.
On March 9, 2000, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary named Friendly Energy Services, Inc.. All oil and gas activities are conducted through this subsidiary.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going concern – The Company incurred net losses of $3,459,930 from the period of February 1, 2005 (date of entering the oil and gas exploration business) through December 31, 2009 and has com menced its operations on a limited basis. The Company is still in the exploration stage, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or equity financing, but there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of the Company’s plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Year end – The Company’s yearend is December 31.
Principles of consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Oil and Gas Properties – The Company utilizes the full-cost method of accounting f or petroleum and natural gas properties. Under this method, the Company capitalizes all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves, including leasehold acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties and costs of drilling of productive and non-productive wells into the full cost pool on a country by country basis. When the Company obtains proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves proved and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. The costs of unproved properties are not amortized until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. Until such determination is made the Company assesses annually whether impairment has occurred, and includes in the amortization base drilling exploratory dry holes associated with unproved properties.
The Company applies a ceiling test to the capitalized cost in the full cost pool. The ceiling test limits such cost to the estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenue from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions. Specifically, the Company computes the ceiling test so that capitalized cost,
21
less accumulated depletion and related deferred income tax, do not exceed an amount (the ceiling) equal to the sum of: (A) The present value of estimated future net revenue computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on current cost) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; plus (B) the cost of property not being amortized; plus (C) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; less (D) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the property.
For unproven properties, the Company excludes from capitalized costs subject to depletion, all costs directly associated with the acquisition and evaluation of the unproved property until it is determined whether or not pro ved reserves can be assigned to the property. Until such a determination is made, the Company assesses the property at least annually to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. In assessing impairment the Company considers factors such as historical experience and other data such as primary lease terms of the property, average holding periods of unproved property, and geographic and geologic data. The Company adds the amount of impairment assessed to the cost to be amortized subject to the ceiling test.
Asset Retirement Obligations – The Company follows the provisions of ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets.
Property and equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 3 to 27 years. The amounts of depreciation provided are sufficient to charge the cost of the related assets to operations over their estimated useful lives.
The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverabi lity.
Income taxes – Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
Net loss per common share – The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earning per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income sta tement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation -- The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Share-Based Payments, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Concentration of risk – A significant amount of the Company’s assets and resources are currently dependent on the financial support of Douglas Tallant and Donald Trapp. Should they determine to no longer finance the operations of the company before new capital is raised, it may be unlikely for the company to continue.
22
Revenue recognition – The Company has had revenues of $16,053 to date from its operations. Revenue is recognized as it is received.
Financial Instruments - Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 and 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 and 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fai r value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, notes receivable, investment, accounts payable, payroll tax liabilities, judgement payable, deferred salaries, interest payable, loans payables, and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
Recent accounting pronouncements – In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, to require reporting entities to separately disclose the amounts and business rationale for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and separately present information regarding purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures on a gross basis. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of disclosures regarding the purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.
In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 5 05, Equity, where entities that declare dividends to shareholders that may be paid in cash or shares at the election of the shareholders are considered to be a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in EPS, and is not accounted for as a stock dividend. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and is to be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This standard clarifies the existing accounting guidance such that tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality, shall be excluded from the scope of the software revenue recognition accounting standards. Accordingly, sales of these products may fall within the scope of other revenue recognition standards or may now be within the scope of this standard and may require an allocation of the arrangement consideration for each element of the arrangement. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.
In October 2009, FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the accounting for revenue in arrangements with multiple deliverables including how the arrangement consideration is allocated among delivered and undelivered items of the arrangement. Among the amendments, this standard eliminated the use of the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations and requires an entity to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable based on an estimated selling price of each individual deliverable in the arrangement in the absence of having vendor-specific objective evidence or other third party evidence of fair value of the undelivered items. This standard also
23
provides further guidance on how to determine a separate unit of accounting in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement and expands the disclosure requirements about the judgments made in applying the estimated selling price method and how those judgments affect the timing or amount of revenue recognition. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.
In August 2009, FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities and that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. This standard is effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. ASC 105 does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, but did eliminate all references to pre-codification standards.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appro priate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 using the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial report ing, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
| | |
| 1. | We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligat ed to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities. |
| |
| 2. ; | We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – As of December 31, 2009, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signature on the Company’s bank accounts. Alternatively, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact that the Company had limited transactions in their bank accounts. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| 3. | We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – As at December 31, 2009, the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors. |
Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting identified, in connection with the evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the S.E.C. that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Continuing Remediation Efforts to address deficiencies in Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In connection with the aforementioned deficiencies, we will establish the following remediation measures:
| | |
| 1. | Our Board of Directors will nominate an audit committee and audit committee financial expert. |
| |
| 2. | We will implement either a system of dual signatures of all checks, or implement alternative procedures that ensure that at least two members of management and/or the Board of Directors review and approve the transaction prior to issuance of payment. |
| |
| 3. | The Company will implement formal procedures to ensure that appropriate back-up and off-site storage of Company data is being performed. |

our directors serves until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Each of our officers is elected by the board of directors to a term of one (1) year and serves until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until he or she is removed from office.

The business experience during the past five years of each of the persons presently listed a bove as an Officer or Director of the Company is as follows:
Mr. Douglas Tallant was born and raised in Oklahoma. He has owned several businesses including the largest automobile dealership in Denver and physical therapy clinics in Denver and Oklahoma City.

Identification of Significant Employees
We have no significant employees other than Douglas Tallant, our President and Director, and Donald Trapp, our Secretary, Treasurer and Director.
Family Relationships

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
During the last five years no director, executive officer, promoter or control person of the Co mpany has had or has been subject to:
(1)
any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
(2)
any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding;
(3)
any order, judgme nt, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or
(4)
being found by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
Code of Ethics
Our board of directors has not adopted a code of ethics due to the fact that we presently only have two directors and we are in the development stage of our operations. We anticipate that we will adopt a code of ethics when we increase either the number of our directors and officers or the number of our employees.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors and certain executive officers and certain other beneficial owners of the Company’s common stock to periodically file notices of changes in beneficial ownership of common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, based solely on copies of such reports received by it, and the written representations of its officers and directors, the Company believes that for 2009 all required filings were timely filed by each of its directors and executive officers.
We believe that our officers, directors, and principal shareholders have, if required, filed all reports required to be filed on Form 3 (Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities), Form 4 (Statement of Changes of Beneficial Ownership of Securities), or Form 5 (Annual Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities).
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
The Company intends to establish an audit committee of the board of dir ectors, which will consist of a soon-to-be-nominated independent director. The audit committee’s duties would be to recommend to the Company’s board of directors the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements and to review the Company’s accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee would review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee would at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.
