Section 2 – Financial Information
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Purchase of Evans Cole Corp., a Kentucky corporation by Americas Energy Company-AECo “AENY”
We previously disclosed in our report on Form 10Q filed February 18, 2010 that on February 6, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Evans Cole Corp., a Kentucky corporation.
The purchase price was $400,000 [which had already been advanced by Americas Energy Company (Private) prior to January 21, 2010]; $2,600,000 paid upon execution of the agreement; $4,000,000 due at the closing on the 5th day of March 2010 and $25,000,000 to be paid at the rate of $5.00 per short ton of coal mined, sold and shipped from the leaseholds of Evans. Minimum payments of at least $500,000 per quarter shall be made commencing March 31, 2011. The $25,000,000 is to be secured by a promissory note and the note Matures on March 5, 2025. The note contains two contingencies related to future permits to mine on two defined leaseholds. If permits are not obtained on the “Artemus” project by December 31, 2010 then the principal of the note shall be reduced by $10,000,000. If permits are not obtained on the “Breathitt” project by December 31, 2016 then the principal of the note shall be reduced by $5,000,000. In addition to the purchase price a separate finder’s fee is to be paid as a 2% override to A.Y. Evans, Jr.
As of March 31, 2010, we have paid the full amount due of $7,000,000 of the purchase price and executed the required $25,000,000 promissory note. The contingency related to the “Artemus” project has cleared and the only remaining contingence is related to the “Breathitt” project. If permits are not obtained on the “Breathitt” project by December 31, 2016 then the principal of the note shall be reduced by $5,000,000.
The parties have agreed that the material terms of the Purchase agreement have been met and full ownership and control of Evans Cole Corp., a Kentucky corporation is with Americas Energy Company-AECo “AENY” as a wholly owned subsidiary.
Evans Coal Corp. was organized in Kentucky on July 9, 1987 and is engaged in the business of mining high grade coal from its property located in Bell County, Kentucky. The company holds various leases and permits to mine those lease rights. The company owns a variety of mining equipment consisting of trucks, loading, drilling, dozers and other heavy equipment for use in its mining operations.
Evans Cole Corp., a Kentucky corporation was wholly owned by Barbara Evans, the sole shareholder.
Prior to completing this purchase Americas Energy Company-AECo had acquired the mineral rights to property located in Bell County Kentucky from the Evans Coal Company (“Evans”); this property is known as the “Upland Church Property” consisting of mineral rights to approximately 12,000 acres of property located in Bell County Kentucky, with a 395 acre permit extraction of coal. The Upland Church property is currently being actively mined.
As a result of the acquisition of Evans Cole Corp. this agreement is now between the Company and our wholly owned subsidiary.
A.Y. Evans, Jr. a shareholder and employee of the Company is the son of the former sole Shareholder of Evans Coal Corp.
On March 25, 2010, a loan of $ 4,000,000 was received and an additional $350,000 less fees and cost charged by the lender of $150,000 on March 31, 2010. The loan was from the same third party as the Company’s previous loans. The proceeds were used for purchase of Evans Coal, Corp.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Evan Coal Corporation as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholder’s equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Evans Coal Corporation as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the 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.

EVANSCOALCORPORATION NOTES TOFINANCIALSTATEMENTS YEARSENDEDJUNE30,2009 AND2008

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations – Evans Coal Corp. (the “Company”) was organized in Kentucky on July 9, 1987 and is engaged in the business of mining high grade steam coal from its properties located in Southeast Kentucky.
Basis of Presentation – These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.
Concentrations of Credit Risk –The Company had a total of five customers that it sold coal to during the year ended June 30, 2009 and had six customers that it sold coal to during the year ended June 30, 2008. Of these customers, two were responsible for 77% of total coal sales during fiscal year 2009 and 94% of total coal sales in fiscal year 2008. One customer is responsible for 100% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates of asset retirement obligations are inherently imprecise and may change materially in the near term.
Revenue Recognition – Revenues include sales to customers of Company-produced coal. The Company recognizes revenue when title or risk of loss passes to the common carrier or customer.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.
Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on review of historical write-off experience and industry data. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008 there was no allowance for doubtful accounts, since all of the Company’s receivables were subsequently collected.
Property, Plant, Equipment and Mining Development –Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve efficiency or extend economic life are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets which generally range from one to seven years for equipment and ten years on the building. On sale or retirement, asset cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gain or loss is reflected in income.
Mining and development costs are capitalized as incurred. The Company’s coal reserves are controlled either through direct ownership or through leasing arrangements which generally last until the recoverable reserves are depleted. Depletion of reserves and amortization of mining and development costs is computed using the units-of-production method over the estimated proven and probable recoverable tons.
Asset Retirement Obligations –The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 and similar state statutes require mine properties to be restored in accordance with specified standards. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 410-20, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (“SFAS No. 143”) requires recognition of an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) for eventual reclamation of disturbed acreage remaining after mining has been completed. The Company records its reclamation obligations on a permit-by-permit basis using requirements as determined by the Office of Surface Mining of the U.S. Department of the Interior (“OSM”). The liability is calculated based upon the reclamation activities remaining after coal removal ceases, assuming that reclamation activities have been contemporaneous within state and federal guidelines during mining. A liability is recorded for the estimated future cost that a third party would incur to perform the required reclamation and mine closure.
Financial Instruments – Financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, certificates of deposit, accounts payable, accrued expenses, loans payable, other liability, and notes payable. Recorded values of cash, receivables, certificates of deposit, accounts payable, accrued expenses, loans payable and other liability approximate fair values due to the short maturities of such instruments. The recorded value for notes payable approximates fair value, since their stated or imputed interest rates are commensurate with prevailing market rates for similar obligations.

EVANSCOALCORPORATION NOTES TOFINANCIALSTATEMENTS YEARSENDEDJUNE30,2009 AND2008
|
Income Taxes – Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, formerly SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." 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 and operating loss carryforwards. 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. 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. When it is considered to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is provided for the excess.
Long-Lived Assets – The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10, Formerly SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." ASC Topic 360-10 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value or disposable value. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not deem any of its long-term assets to be impaired.
NOTE 2 – CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS - PLEDGED
|
The Company had certificates of deposit at June 30, 2009 and 2008 totaling $1,643,200 and $1,695,800, respectively.

Interest income on the certificates of deposit totaled $25,128 and $33,999 for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
