3. | In your response to prior comment 15, you disclose that Mr. Wolfe was compensated by Enerl Group, Inc. for services provided to you due to your limited financial resources. However, at page 4 of the Form 10-K, you indicate that Enerl Group, Inc. "stopped funding our operations" in July 2007. Please provide consistent and accurate disclosure to explain in necessary detail the relationship between the company and Enerl Group, Inc. and its affiliates, including any agreements regarding the potential funding of any company expenses. File any applicable agreements as exhibits pursuant to Item 601(b) of Regulation S-K. |
Additional disclosure has been added to pages 4 and 33 of the draft amended annual report on Form 10-K submitted herewith indicating that Mr. Wolfe was compensated by Ener1 Group, Inc. for services provided to the Company due to the limited financial resources of the Company and that there were no formal agreements in place relating thereto.

Mr. Wolfe has received no compensation during fiscal 2008 from the Company due to the limited resources of the Company. However, although there were no formal agreements in place, Mr. Wolfe was compensated by Ener1 Group, Inc., a company controlled by Mike Zoi, in fiscal 2008 for services provided to the Company. For fiscal 2009, Mr. Wolfe received an aggregate of $60,500 for legal services provided to the Company and this amount was expensed to legal fees in the combined statement of operations. Mr. Wolfe also participates in the Company’s equity incentive compensation plan.

Draft Form 10-Q/A for the Fiscal Quarter Ended December 31, 2009
General
5. | We note from your response to prior comment number nine that "in light of [y]our decision to unwind [y]our 75% investment, "you have decided to present TOT-SIBBNS as a disposal group and to characterize its operations as discontinued. However, we note you accomplished the un-wind of TOT-SIBBNS by exchanging your 75% interest for the 3,000,000 shares given to Evgeny Borograd [sic] in 2008 upon the establishment of the joint venture. Based on this fact pattern, please tell us how you considered the guidance in FASB ASC 360-10-45-15 [paragraph 27 of FAS 144] concerning long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale, such as an exchange [FASB ASC 360-10-35-47] or distribution to owners in a spinoff [FASB ASC 360- 10-40-4]. In this regard, long-lived assets in these fact patterns continue to be classified as held and used until they are disposed of, and to be considered for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-35-15 [paragraphs 7 through 26 of FAS 144]. |
In connection with our response to Comment #9 contained in our response letter dated March 31, 2010, we wish to clarify that the reference therein to an “impairment charge” of $2,740,249 was intended to reflect the difference in value of the shares of the Company’s common stock provided in connection with the purchase of the joint venture interest and that received in connection with the unwind transaction. We did not intend this reference to reflect an impairment in the asset group of the joint venture. Additionally, we have eliminated “Note 9. Discontinued Operations” and associated disclosures from the proposed amended Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2009 submitted herewith and as referenced in our response letter dated March 31, 2010.

In response to the Staff’s comments and based on our subsequent analysis of applicable literature, the Company now believes that the appropriate accounting treatment for the unwind transaction as of March 31, 2010 is a disposal “other than by sale” similar to a spin-off transaction, and that the previously disclosed loss on disposal and pro forma presentation of the transaction as discontinued operations was not correct. Accordingly, the Company will file an amendment to its Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2009 to eliminate the pro forma presentation and disclose that the unwind transaction will be accounted for as a disposal “other than by sale” as of March 31, 2010.
In connection with the unwind transaction and events leading up to our decision to pursue this course of action, we considered the guidance set forth in SFAS 144 [ASC 360-10-35-29]. We note that a long-lived asset group is considered impaired when its carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds the asset group's fair value. The carrying amount is deemed unrecoverable if it is greater than the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from use and eventual disposition of the asset group. An impairment loss is equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset group. Thus, once it is determined that carrying value will not be recovered, an impairment loss must be recognized.
As a result of the suspension of the drilling contract in Russia in January 2009 and the furlough of employees in April 2009 (each as disclosed in our filed reports), the Company conducted a recoverability test in connection with the preparation of its financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. In its estimates of future cash flows analysis, the Company considered all relevant factors relating to the market and industry in which the assets are used (including the price per barrel of crude oil which impacts the market for exploratory drilling), the likelihood of continuation of the then existing contract, the probability of securing additional contracts in the following drilling season, projected cash flows and alternative possible usage of the assets. Accordingly, based on this analysis, the Company concluded that the carrying amounts of the assets were not impaired as of the fiscal year end or at the time such analysis was completed on or about June 29, 2009. As of March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the carrying amount of the joint venture net assets was $2,595,208 and 2,304,609, respectively, and the expected cash flows of this asset group based on an undiscounted cash flows analysis was $3,000,598 and $3,000,598, respectively. The undiscounted cash flows are based in part on cash flows from operations of ($169,402) plus terminal values for buildings of $170,000 and machinery and equipment of $3,000,000.

The first and second quarters of the fiscal year (i.e., April – September) are generally characterized by completion of existing contracts in early April (depending on soil conditions required to support heavy equipment) followed by a period of dormancy until the following Fall/Winter. Although conditions remained relatively stable during these quarters in 2009, the market price per barrel of crude oil had increased significantly (nearly doubling during this period). Accordingly, the Company had expectations of continuing exploratory drilling (both through its existing customer and new customers) in the upcoming drilling season, which generally commences during the third fiscal quarter (i.e., October – December). During the period ended December 31, 2009, the Company secured an additional drilling contract and had received positive indications that its then existing customer was in the process of obtaining the relevant financing and permits to resume drilling operations in the then upcoming season. Accordingly, the Company did not see any basis for altering its impairment analysis as of December 31, 2009. However, in January 2010, it became questionable whether activities with its existing customer would recommence in the short term, and there remained uneasiness in the market over the continued improvement in crude oil prices, which had a negative impact on the exploratory drilling market in Russia at that time. The Company updated its projections using a more conservative growth strategy. On January 27, 2010, after several weeks of exploring other business opportunities, the Company altered its business focus and decided to exercise its option to unwind the joint venture and pursue other development opportunities in the alternative energy business.
The Company performed an assessment of the disposal group for impairment in connection with the proposed unwind of the joint venture as of December 31, 2009 and concluded that no impairment charge for the asset group was necessary at December 31, 2009 because the carrying value of the joint venture net assets of $1,882,249 did not exceed the sum of undiscounted cash flows of $2,443,540 as of December 31, 2009. This analysis was based in part on cash flows from operations of ($731,460) and terminal values of buildings of $170,000 and machinery and equipment of $3,000,000.
6. | Notwithstanding your response to our comment above, we note your intention to report an impairment loss on your TOT-SIBBNS asset group of $1,882,043 for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009. As such, it appears you should provide the disclosures required for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements, as contemplated by FASB ASC 250-10-05 [paragraph 2.h of FAS 154]. Please address these disclosures in your amended Form 10-Q for the period in which the impairment charge is first reported, or otherwise advise why you do not believe these disclosures are required. In addition, please tell us how you have considered your reporting requirements for an Item 4.02 Form 8-K. |
As set forth in our response to Comment #5 above, the amended Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 submitted herewith will not include the restated financial statements that reflect the joint venture as discontinued operations, and the reference to an “impairment charge” as contained in our response letter dated March 31, 2010 was intended to reflect the difference in value of the shares of the Company’s common stock provided in connection with the purchase of the joint venture interest and that received in connection with the unwind transaction, and not an impairment in the asset group of the joint venture for any relevant period.

In connection with the decision to unwind the joint venture, we considered whether or not there existed a reporting requirement to file Form 8-K under Item 4.02 thereof. We assessed (i) the impact to an investor of the financial information contained in the quarterly report reflecting the joint venture’s assets and operations within continuing operations, (ii) the transparency of the joint venture’s unwind provisions, including expiration dates, contained in previously filed reports, and (iii) the veracity of forward-looking information contained in the quarterly report covering the period ended December 31, 2009 with respect to management’s intent to exercise the unwind provisions of the initial joint venture agreement. In the context of the totality of information contained in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2009 and disclosures contained in previously filed reports, management determined that the filing of a Form 8-K was not necessary as the financial and non-financial information contained in the quarterly report for the period ended December 31, 2009 was not inconsistent with prior disclosures, did not make prior financial information unreliable, and accurately reflected the circumstances as of the date of the report. Additionally, the Company did not receive advisement or notice from its independent accountants that would have required disclosure pursuant to Item 4.02 of Form 8-K. Further, the Company determined that the omission of the pro forma presentation contained in the footnotes to the financial statements as proposed in the amended Form 10-Q submitted herewith would not have a material affect on an investor’s decision with respect to the securities of the Company.
7. | With regard to the amount of impairment you intend to record, please confirm if true, that your impairment of $1,882,043 equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group, or $1,944,575 as disclosed on page 12, exceeds its fair value, or otherwise advise. In addition, please explain to us how you intend to account for the un-wind of TOT-SIBBNS, which became effective on March 31, 2010. |
As described above, the Company does not believe that an impairment charge relating to the asset group of the joint venture is warranted or required. The reference to an “impairment charge” as contained in our response letter dated March 31, 2010 was intended to reflect the difference in value of the shares of the Company’s common stock provided in connection with the purchase of the joint venture interest and that received in connection with the unwind transaction, and not an impairment in the asset group of the joint venture for any relevant period.
The unwind of the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture will be accounted for using the guidance provided in ASC 845 (previously APB 29). In this regard, the unwind will be accounted for as a disposal “other than by sale” similar to a spin-off, with the shares to be received reflected as treasury stock and recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at its carrying basis in the net assets of the joint venture as of March 31, 2010.

In addtion, based on the Company’s projections, there will not be any impairment recorded at March 31, 2010 since the sum of undiscounted cash flows from operations plus the terminal values for buildings and machinery and equipment will exceed the net book value of the joint venture assets.
8. | We note your response to prior comment number 18 that “In light of the Company's determination to treat the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture as discontinued operations, we have adjusted the financial statements and related disclosure relating to the period ended December 31, 2009 to reflect this accounting treatment. Accordingly, all revenues and expenses associated with the subject contract were deferred in accordance with the Completed Contract Method." We will continue to consider your response to this comment in light of your response to our new comment above concerning the presentation of TOT-SIBBNS as a discontinued operation. |
In connection with our revised accounting treatment as discussed above, and our re-evaluation of the contract terms, and in accordance with our disclosed revenue recognition policy, the Company has revised its financial statements to recognize all revenues earned on the subject multi-part contract under the Completed Contract Method as one contract. In this regard, revenues will be deferred until completion of the contract and expenses will be capitalized as incurred. Accordingly, we have deferred all revenues and capitalized all costs relating to this contract, which resulted in changes to cost in excess of related billings on uncompleted contract and stockholders’ equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and elimination of revenues and cost of sales on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and related adjustments to the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, as set forth in the attached draft Form 10-Q/A for the period ended December 31, 2009.
Thank you for your consideration of our responses and the assistance you and your staff have provided. Kindly confirm that the foregoing adequately responds to the Staff’s comments or, alternatively, that the Staff has no further inquiry at this time. Please contact me by telephone at (305) 588-0122 or fax at (305) 933-3748 if you have any questions regarding the matters addressed in this letter or require any additional information.

Overview
TOT Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Splinex Technology, Inc., was organized on February 6, 2004 under the laws of the State of Delaware as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Splinex, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and was the surviving entity pursuant to a merger with Ener1 Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Ener1, Inc., a Florida corporation. The Company initially intended to develop advanced technologies in the three-dimensional or 3D computer graphics industry. Since October 28, 2003 (“Inception”), the date of formation of Splinex, LLC, through December 17, 2007, we operated in a development phase typical of a software company and focused on developing technologies and products and securing intellectual property rights while we developed relationships with potential customers and resellers. Under an agreement effective April 1, 2004 (the “Contribution Agreement”), Splinex, LLC contributed substantially all of its assets, liabilities and operations to the Company. Due to lack of significant sales, we substantially reduced our workforce and overhead costs beginning in September 2005. From September 2005 through July 2007, Ener1 Group, Inc., a related party, loaned us money to fund our operations. In July 2007, Ener1 Group, Inc. stopped funding our operations, except that Mr. Wolfe did receive compensation by Ener 1 Group, Inc. for legal services provided to the Company. For more information, see “Item 11. Executive Compensation.”
On December 17, 2007, (1) certain holders, who had received shares in the Company as distributions from Splinex LLC, transferred their ownership of 35,162,334 shares of common stock of the Company to Splinex LLC for nominal consideration, and (2) Bzinfin, S.A., a British Virgin Islands limited corporation that is indirectly owned by an affiliate of Ener1 Group, Inc., a Florida company of which Mike Zoi is a shareholder and director and which is the majority shareholder of Ener1, Inc., and Ener1 Group assigned debt obligations of the Company to Splinex LLC in the amount of $2,805,207 and $845,864, respectively. Under a Purchase Agreement dated December 17, 2007, TGR Capital, LLC (which changed its name to Enerfund, LLC in September 2008), a Florida limited liability company (“Enerfund”), which is wholly-owned by Mike Zoi, acquired all of the membership interests in Splinex LLC, thereby giving Enerfund control of Splinex LLC.
Under an Exchange Agreement dated December 18, 2007, the Company agreed to issue 113,500,000 newly issued shares of the Company to Splinex LLC of which 8,500,000 shares were issued to Bzinfin and 2,125,000 were issued to a former affiliate of Splinex, LLC. Splinex LLC owned 98,157,334 shares of the Company as of December 17, 2007 and an aggregate of 201,032,334 shares after the completion of the Exchange Agreement on December 18, 2007. The Company had 100,757,769 shares outstanding at December 17, 2007 and 214,257,769 shares outstanding after the completion of the Exchange Agreement. In June 2008, Splinex, LLC changed its name to TGR Energy, LLC (“TGR”).
On July 16, 2008, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Evgeny Bogorad (“Bogorad”), owner of Sibburnefteservis, Ltd. of Novosibirsk, Russia, an oil services company (“SIBBNS”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, Bogorad has contributed certain of SIBBNS assets and personnel to a joint venture company named TOT-SIBBNS, Ltd., a Russian corporation (“TOT-SIBBNS”). An independent appraisal company has appraised the contributed assets at US$6,221,881.We ended development stage activity on July 16, 2008 when we acquired a 75% interest in the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture and began operations in the oil and gas service industry, including the exploration, development, production, and marketing of crude oil and natural gas in Russia and Kazakhstan, as well as other markets around the world. TOT Energy will also explore investments and other opportunities in the renewable energy field.
At the closing on July 16, 2008, we issued to Bogorad 3,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for a 75% interest in TOT-SIBBNS. We are obligated to issue to Bogorad 2,000,000 additional shares of common stock upon TOT-SIBBNS obtaining US$10,000,000 in gross revenue during the three-year period following the closing. If TOT-SIBBNS achieves this gross revenue target and Bogorad continues to hold the shares issued pursuant to the JV Agreement on the third anniversary of the closing and the stock price is less than US$1.00 per share, then we, in our sole discretion, must either make an additional payment in cash or additional shares of stock to Bogorad in an amount equal to the difference in the value per share and US$1.00 multiplied by the total number of shares held by Bogorad, or, if we decline to make such payment, Bogorad may require us to return our interest in TOT-SIBBNS in exchange for a payment to us of the fair market value of any assets acquired directly by TOT-SIBBNS (other than the assets initially contributed to the Joint Venture by Bogorad pursuant to the JV Agreement) and 75% of the retained earnings, accounts receivable and cash of TOT-SIBBNS. Bogorad will act as the manager of TOT-SIBBNS. We have the ability to appoint a majority of the Board of Directors of TOT-SIBBNS.
TOT-SIBBNS provides oil exploration and consulting services to companies located in and around Novosibirsk, Russia. TOT-SIBBNS owns and operates four oil drilling rigs that generate the majority of the revenues of TOT-SIBBNS. TOT-SIBBNS uses this equipment for drilling exploratory wells for fees. In addition, TOT-SIBBNS provides engineering services and well remediation services on a contract fee basis. Given the small number of drilling rigs owned by TOT-SIBBNS, drilling services will be limited to no more than four customers at any one time. However, exploration contracts will typically provide for utilization of multiple drilling rigs per customer, on whom our operations will be largely dependent. Accordingly, the termination of any exploration contract or loss of a customer or a material change in the financial stability of a customer would have a material adverse impact on the financial results of TOT-SIBBNS.
On April 2, 2009, TOT-SIBBNS determined there would be no further oil drilling operations under its existing contract for the current drilling season. TOT-SIBBNS has furloughed most employees (114 field and professional positions) until further notice. It is uncertain when or if drilling services under the existing contract will recommence. The contract for drilling services was temporarily suspended in January 2009 due to the inability of the customer to obtain necessary funding. TOT-SIBBNS’ equipment remains on-site and is expected to remain on-site through the summer. TOT-SIBBNS has incurred costs during the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2009 to secure its equipment on the job site and prepare for recommencement of drilling operations in the event the customer obtains the necessary financing to maintain the oil field license required to conduct operations.
As previously disclosed, the oil production business in Russia is seasonal and cyclical and is currently experiencing a down cycle in large part due to the recently lower prices relating to sale of a barrel of crude oil. While we are hopeful that drilling service demand will increase when the price of oil increases and/or the Russian government adjusts drilling license regulations and fee structures, we can provide no assurance that this will be the case. We may not know whether our drilling operations will be able to recommence with our existing customer or other customers until the end of 2009.
TOT-SIBBNS and its customers are subject to certain regulations and licensing requirements imposed by Russian law and government agencies, including regulations and contractual obligations relating to environmental hazards. The costs of compliance with these regulations and other obligations can be significant, particularly as the prices per barrel in the spot oil markets decline, which decline could have a significant impact on TOT-SIBBNS’ cost structures and those of its customers. The Russian Governmental Ecological Organization oversees compliance with regulations relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. All oil drilling and exploration projects are submitted to the Governmental Ecological Organization for approval of material discharge quotas and for determination of fees to be paid (typically monthly) that are based on the description of operations and planned discharge of materials into the environment. Governmental authorities monitor compliance with the approved project plan. Violations can result in fines and penalties. In addition, we must obtain certain licenses for explosive and fire protection devices which are used in the drilling process. Actual drilling activities do not require a license.
KORLEA-TOT is our 51% joint venture with Korlea Invest Holding AG of Switzerland (“Korlea”) who is a provider and trader of energy assets in the Czech Republic. The joint venture, Korlea-TOT, established as of July 17, 2008, was expected to assist in the marketing of oil assets sourced by other TOT-Energy companies and contacts. There has been no activity to date with this joint venture.
Despite the setbacks experienced by TOT-SIBBNS, we are working to build a diversified portfolio of energy assets. To this end, from time to time, we may be engaged in various discussions to acquire businesses or formulate joint venture or other arrangements with energy companies located around the world. Our policy is not to disclose discussions or potential transactions until definitive agreements have been executed. Where appropriate, acquisitions will be financed with equity shares and this may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.
Several factors raise significant doubt as to our ability to continue operating as a going concern. These factors include our history of net losses and that we have recently commenced operations, and have a working capital deficit at March 31, 2009. We are dependent upon TGR or Mike Zoi (as a result of his controlling interest in TGR and our dependence on the Subscription Agreement with TGR) to fund our operations. Our independent auditors’ report on our financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009 contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that our current operating strategy, as described in the preceding paragraphs, provides the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern; however, there is no assurance this will occur.
The current market situation is characterized by falling prices for drilling and exploration services, which has resulted in a general decline in orders as oil prices have fluctuated greatly during the past year. TOT-SIBBNS faces intense competition in its targeted markets. TOT-SIBBNS competes with a significant number of companies ranging in size from large well-known entities to a number of relatively small and highly specialized service providers, most of which have several production locations and significantly greater equipment and drilling capacity than the Company. TOT-SIBBNS’ principal methods of competition are price, quality of service, performance and speed of service performance. TOT-SIBBNS believes that it can effectively compete in certain markets based on its customer-oriented philosophy, highly skilled and professional workforce, historically low cost structure, high performance quality and reliability, and cost-effective solutions for its customers. However, as noted above, TOT-SIBBNS operates four drilling rigs and many larger competitors have significantly greater financial resources that will enhance their ability to withstand significant fluctuations in the price per barrel of oil and other economic and climatic volatility.
Our principal executive offices are located at 12100 N.E. 16 th Ave; Suite 210; Miami, FL 33161. Our telephone number is (305) 891-2288.
Employees
At March 31, 2009, the Company employed four people in the United States, including the Company’s CEO, CFO, a senior accountant and a secretary. In Russia, as of April 2, 2009, we have furloughed 114 people and there were 35 people working to maintain equipment, security and limited operations. The furloughed workers will either return to work as drilling resumes or be terminated after we make payment of salary due up to the date of furlough. None of our employees were represented by a union or collective bargaining agreement.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On August 7, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a Subscription Agreement dated August 7, 2008 (the “Subscription Agreement”) with TGR, wherein TGR committed to invest up to $2,000,000 in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $0.02 per share. In addition, we granted TGR warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock for $0.05 per share. These warrants may be exercised within five years from the date of grant. The shares and warrants are issuable under the Subscription Agreement upon the funding from time to time by TGR. The valuation date to determine the appropriate compensation charge is the last day of the quarter then ended.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued 10,697,250 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 5,348,625 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $213,945 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,390,643 was recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable. A compensation charge of $8,827,218 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
On November 1, 2008, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with Olympus Securities LLC (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, Olympus was appointed TOT Energy’s exclusive financial advisor and investment banker (collectively, the “Services”) for a period of seven (7) months. After expiration of this initial term, the Agreement is to automatically continue on a month-to-month basis, with each party having the right to terminate on thirty (30) days notice. The Agreement included a fee of one thousand dollars ($1,000) per month in return for the Services, except for the first month, where, instead of the monthly fee, the Company granted five (5) year warrants to Olympus to purchase one million (1,000,000) shares of the Company's common stock at ten cents ($.10) per share. The warrants were valued at $149,999 and were to be amortized over the seven-month term of the Agreement. The Agreement contains other provisions relating to payments of cash, stock and warrants in connection with any future financing or investment transaction completed through Olympus. The Company has not yet paid a cash fee or provided the abovementioned warrants to Olympus due to the failure by Olympus to provide meaningful investment banking services until world financial markets stabilized. Olympus has commenced providing strategic advice and other services to the Company and we are currently negotiating an amendment to the Agreement that will clarify payment and other terms, including issuance of securities, under the Agreement. The Company has amortized four months of the warrant charge and accrued this amount in the current period to reflect services provided.
At March 31, 2009, the Company had options to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock outstanding under its stock option plan, of which options to purchase 412,963 shares of common stock are vested, with an exercise price of $0.25 per share and with a remaining weighted average contractual term of 5.69 years. The Company also had warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock outstanding at March 31, 2009 with a strike price of $0.05 per share and a remaining contractual term of 4.74 years pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.
The Company entered into a Sponsorship Agreement with American Speed Factory dated April 22, 2009, whereby the Company would receive certain promotional services and sponsorship rights to display the Company’s logo in connection with the 2009 Ferrari Challenge racing season in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company.
To partially offset the reduction in salary, the Company provided Mr. New with 25,000 shares of fully vested common stock in lieu of his March 31, 2009 cash bonus and 200,000 shares of common stock which vest monthly from April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009. Other employees receiving salary reductions were granted a total of 50,000 shares of common stock vesting monthly between April 1, 2009 and September 30, 2009.
We believe that each of the foregoing securities transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our other filings with the Commission and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report.
General
We are working to build a diversified portfolio of energy assets. To this end, from time to time, we may be engaged in various discussions to acquire businesses or formulate joint venture or other arrangements with energy companies located around the world. Our policy is not to disclose discussions or potential transactions until definitive agreements have been executed. Where appropriate, acquisitions will be financed with equity shares and this may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.
On July 16, 2008, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Evgeny Bogorad (“Bogorad”), owner of Sibburnefteservis, Ltd. of Novosibirsk, Russia, an oil services company (“SIBBNS”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, Bogorad has contributed certain of SIBBNS assets and personnel to a joint venture company named TOT-SIBBNS, Ltd., a Russian corporation (“TOT-SIBBNS”). An independent appraisal company has appraised the contributed assets at US$6,221,881.
At the closing on July 16, 2008, we issued to Bogorad 3,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for a 75% interest in TOT-SIBBNS. We are obligated to issue to Bogorad 2,000,000 additional shares of common stock upon TOT-SIBBNS obtaining US$10,000,000 in gross revenue during the three-year period following the closing. If TOT-SIBBNS achieves this gross revenue target and Bogorad continues to hold the shares issued pursuant to the JV Agreement on the third anniversary of the closing and the stock price is less than US$1.00 per share, then we, in our sole discretion, must either make an additional payment in cash or additional shares of stock to Bogorad in an amount equal to the difference in the value per share and US$1.00 multiplied by the total number of shares held by Bogorad, or, if we decline to make such payment, Bogorad may require us to return our interest in TOT-SIBBNS in exchange for a payment to us of the fair market value of any assets acquired directly by TOT-SIBBNS (other than the assets initially contributed to the Joint Venture by Bogorad pursuant to the JV Agreement) and 75% of the retained earnings, accounts receivable and cash of TOT-SIBBNS. Bogorad will act as the manager of TOT-SIBBNS. We have the ability to appoint a majority of the Board of Directors of TOT-SIBBNS.
TOT-SIBBNS provides exploration services to oil exploration and production companies located in and around Novosibirsk, Russia. TOT-SIBBNS owns and operates four oil drilling rigs that generate the majority of the revenues of TOT-SIBBNS. TOT-SIBBNS uses this equipment for drilling exploratory wells for fees. In addition, TOT-SIBBNS provides engineering services and well remediation services on a contract fee basis.
On April 2, 2009, TOT-SIBBNS, our joint venture servicing the oil and gas industry in Russia, determined there would be no further oil drilling operations under its existing contract for the current drilling season. TOT-SIBBNS has furloughed most employees (114 field and professional positions) until further notice. It is uncertain when or if drilling services under the existing contract will recommence. The contract for drilling services was temporarily suspended in January 2009 due to the inability of the customer to obtain necessary funding. TOT-SIBBNS’ equipment remains on-site and is expected to remain on-site through the summer.
TOT-SIBBNS has incurred costs during the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2009 to secure its equipment on the job site and prepare for recommencement of drilling operations in the event the customer obtains the necessary financing to maintain the oil field license required to conduct operations.
As previously disclosed, the oil production business in Russia is seasonal and cyclical and is currently experiencing a down cycle in large part due to the recently lower prices relating to the selling price for a barrel of crude oil. While we are hopeful that drilling service demand will increase when the price of oil increases and/or the Russian government adjusts drilling license regulations and fee structures, we can provide no assurance that this will be the case. We may not know whether our drilling operations will be able to recommence with our existing customer or other customers until the end of 2009.
KORLEA-TOT is our 51% joint venture with Korlea Invest Holding AG of Switzerland (“Korlea”), a provider and trader of energy assets in the Czech Republic. The joint venture, Korlea-TOT, established as of July 17, 2008, was expected to assist in the marketing of oil assets sourced by other TOT-Energy companies and contacts. There has been no activity to date with this joint venture.
Several factors raise significant doubt as to our ability to continue operating as a going concern. These factors include our history of net losses and that we have recently commenced operations, and have a working capital deficit as of March 31, 2009. We are dependent upon TGR or Mike Zoi (as a result of his controlling interest in TGR and our dependence on the Subscription Agreement with TGR) to fund our operations. Our independent auditors’ report on our financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009 contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that our current operating strategy, as described in the preceding paragraphs, provides the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern; however, there is no assurance this will occur.
As of March 31, 2009, we leased temporary office space and intend to lease and furnish approximately 3,600 square feet of permanent office space in Miami, Florida. We also own a 3750 square foot building in Omsk, Russia where we operate TOT-SIBBNS.
Results of Operations for the Year Ended March 31, 2009 Compared to the Year Ended March 31, 2008
We had net income of $215,085, or $0.00 per share, for the year ended March 31, 2008 (“fiscal 2008”) compared to a net loss of $11,030,906, or $0.05 per share, for the year ended March 31, 2008 (“fiscal 2008”). Our total operating expenses for fiscal 2008 were $243,111 as compared to operating expenses for fiscal 2009 of $11,244,502. Interest expense in fiscal 2008 was $110,464 compared to fiscal 2009 interest expense of $0. Income from settlements of outstanding payables was $568,562 in fiscal 2008 compared to $0 in fiscal 2009.
TOT Energy, Inc. was not an operating company until the acquisition of TOT-SIBBNS in July 2008. The fiscal 2008 expenses of TOT Energy, Inc. reflect non-operating winding down activities, principally creditor settlements and expenses incurred to remain current in our SEC filing obligations. Our activity in fiscal 2008 was focused on settling outstanding payables and other liabilities. Our operating expenses declined significantly during fiscal 2008 as we terminated product development activities and our remaining workforce.
There were no operating expenses related to TOT-SIBBNS in fiscal 2008. For fiscal 2009, our operating expenses consisted of $10,391,575 for TOT-Energy, Inc. and $852,927 relating to operating expenses at TOT-SIBBNS. The operating expenses of TOT Energy, Inc. of $10,391,575 in fiscal 2009 related primarily to compensation expense ($8,931,801) in connection with issuances of stock and warrants pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. Payroll expenses were $656,702, professional fees for legal, accounting, consulting and tax preparation were $316,857 and other general and administrative expenses were $486,215 consisting primarily of travel, rent and investor relations expenses. For fiscal 2008, operating expenses of $243,111 consisted of $47,020 in professional fees, $37,587 in payroll expenses, $21,140 in transfer agent fees and $137,364 in other general and administrative expenses.
Outstanding payables were settled at a discount in late fiscal 2008 and the Company recognized income of $568,562 and $0 from settlements in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009, respectively.
The non-controlling interest in loss of consolidated subsidiary was $0 in fiscal 2008 and $213,378 in fiscal 2009 as TOT-SIBBNS was purchased on July 16, 2008 and the fiscal 2009 amount relates to the 25% non-controlling interest in TOT-SIBBNS retained by our joint venture partner.
Liquidity and capital resources
At March 31, 2009, we had negative working capital of $765,507 and cash of $99,971.
Short term financing is provided by TGR Energy, LLC (“TGR”) as we require additional working capital, pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated August 7, 2008 (the “Subscription Agreement”). TGR has agreed to provide up to $2,000,000 (the “Investment Amount”) in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, TGR will fund the Investment Amount as required in our operational budget. TGR’s obligation to fund the Investment Amount will be reduced by any future third party funding or investment on terms no less favorable than those contained in the Subscription Agreement.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued 10,697,250 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 5,348,625 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $213,945 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,390,643 was recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable. A compensation charge of $8,827,218 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are described more fully in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements. Management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amount of assets and liabilities as well as disclosures regarding any contingencies. Actual results could differ from estimates and this could impact reported net income or the value of our assets and liabilities.
In applying estimates, management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information provided by outside sources, trade journals and other sources, as appropriate.
Deferred Taxes. Estimates of deferred income taxes and items giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s assessment of actual future taxes to be paid on items reflected in the financial statements, giving consideration to both timing and the probability of the realization. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates for a variety of reasons including changes in tax law, operating results that vary from budget or the review of our tax returns by the IRS.
Valuation of stock based compensation. Stock based compensation has been provided by the Company in order to preserve the cash flow necessary to grow our business. In addition, we entered into the Subscription Agreement described above to strengthen our available sources of capital. We believe the estimate of stock based compensation is a “critical accounting estimate” that significantly affects our results of operations. Management of the Company has discussed the development and selection of this critical accounting estimate with our board of directors and the board of directors has reviewed the Company’s disclosure relating to it in this Report.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
At March 31, 2009, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 165 (SFAS No. 165), Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The Company does not expect that this Statement will result in a change in current practice.
In April 2009, the FASB issued three related FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”): (i) FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2, “Recognition of Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”), (ii) FSP FAS No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), and (iii) FSP FAS No. 157-4, “Determining the Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4), which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and will be effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amend the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to modify the requirement for recognizing other-than-temporary impairments, change the existing impairment model, and modify the presentation and frequency of related disclosures. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting these Staff Positions, but we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May, 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles , which simply moves the requirements related to which authoritative literature to look to first from the audit standards to GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the PCAOB’s amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
In March, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities . This standard requires enhanced disclosure about a company’s derivatives and hedging to help investors understand their impact on a company’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We do not hedge and we currently do not deal with derivative instruments. Management does not see an impact from this standard at this time.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements.” These Statements replace FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS No. 141(R) also makes significant amendments to other Statements and other authoritative guidance. The Statement is effective for years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Adoption of SFAS 141(R) is not expected to have a significant impact on our existing financial condition and results of operations.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We do not have material exposure to market risks associated with changes in interest rates related to cash equivalent securities held at March 31, 2009.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
TOT Energy, Inc.
Miami, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TOT Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2008 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency in assets 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 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 audits 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 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 financial position of TOT Energy, Inc. as of March 31, 2008 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency in assets and 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 experienced recurring losses and has a working capital deficit at March 31, 2009. 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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TOT Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Splinex Technology, Inc., was organized on February 6, 2004 under the laws of the State of Delaware as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Splinex, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and was the surviving entity pursuant to a merger with Ener1 Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Ener1, Inc., a Florida corporation. The Company initially intended to develop advanced technologies in the three-dimensional or 3D computer graphics industry. Under an agreement effective April 1, 2004 (the “Contribution Agreement”), Splinex, LLC contributed substantially all of its assets, liabilities and operations to the Company. The Company began its development stage activity on October 28, 2003 (“Inception”), the date of formation of Splinex, LLC, and ended development stage activity on July 16, 2008 when the Company acquired a 75% interest in the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture and began operations in the oil and gas service industry.
Basis of Consolidation
The interim financial statements include the accounts of TOT Energy, Inc., the accounts of the Company’s 75% joint venture, TOT- SIBBNS, a limited liability company formed under the laws of Russia (also known as the Russian Federation) and the accounts of our 51% joint venture, Korlea-TOT, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the Czech Republic. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in this consolidation.
Business Activity
The Company is working to build a diversified portfolio of energy assets. To this end, from time to time, the Company may be engaged in various discussions to acquire businesses or formulate joint venture or other arrangements with energy companies located around the world. Where appropriate, acquisitions will be financed with equity shares and this may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders. Prior to 2008, the Company developed computer software products.
TOT-SIBBNS provides exploration services to oil exploration and production companies located in and around Novosibirsk, Russia. TOT-SIBBNS owns and operates four oil-drilling rigs that generate the majority of the revenues of TOT-SIBBNS. TOT-SIBBNS uses this equipment for drilling exploratory wells for fees. In addition, TOT-SIBBNS provides engineering services and well remediation services on a contract fee basis.
KORLEA-TOT is the Company’s 51%-owned joint venture with Korlea Invest Holding AG of Switzerland (“Korlea”) who is a provider and trader of electricity in the Czech Republic. Korlea-TOT was expected to assist in the marketing of oil assets sourced by other TOT-Energy companies and contacts. There has been no activity to date with this joint venture..
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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of expenses for the period presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid money market investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. At March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its U.S. Dollar-denominated cash in a bank deposit account, the balance of which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Bank accounts in the United States are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. At March 31, 2009, and March 31, 2008, the United States bank balances did not exceed the FDIC limit. The Company also maintains bank balances in Russia and the Czech Republic and at March 31, 2009, the balance was $76,656. At March 31, 2008, there were no overseas bank balances. The non-United States bank balances are not insured and there is risk of loss in the event such banks should fail.
Inventories
Inventories are purchased primarily for the needs of production and used during the normal operating cycle. Items in inventory include fuel, cables, lubricants, construction materials and other miscellaneous items recorded at cost. Costs for freight or other acquisition expenses are charged to operations in the period they are incurred. Inventory is reduced using the average cost by item.
Fixed Assets
The Company depreciates its building over a term of 20 years. Machinery and Equipment are depreciated over lives ranging from 3 years to 10 years depending on the equipment. The Company uses lives of three years for office equipment, five years for most pieces of drilling equipment and ten years for our four drills. All of the Company assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis for financial statement purposes.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company’s primary operations are conducted outside the United States and we use foreign currencies to operate our consolidated foreign subsidiaries. Quarterly income and expense items are translated into U.S. dollars using the average interbank rate for the three-month period. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the interbank rate as of the balance sheet date. Equity items are translated at their historical rate. The Company does not engage in any currency hedging activities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues from its contract on the completed contract method due to uncertainty in counterparty performance and collections under its terms. Under the completed contract method, revenues and costs are included in operations when the contract is completed. Any losses expected to be incurred are charged to operations in the period that such losses are probable.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares issuable upon exercise of common stock options or warrants. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
At March 31, 2009, the Company had outstanding vested stock options to purchase 412,963 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 41,363,168 shares of common stock. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2009, these securities are excluded from the earnings per share calculation because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
At March 31, 2008, the Company had 100,000 options exercisable. The Company recorded a $8,000 compensation expense for these options in fiscal 2008. During fiscal 2009, the Company issued 1,100,000 options of which 312,963 were exercisable at March 31, 2009. The Company also issued 82,725,335 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock in exchange for $1,654,507 pursuant to the terms of its subscription agreement with TGR Energy, LLC (see Notes 8, 9 and 11).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash deposits, short-term payables and borrowings under related party payables. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of third-party financial instruments approximate fair value, due to their short-term maturities and the related party payables are interest bearing and payable on demand.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. No impairment losses were recorded during fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company had been in the development stage until the second quarter of 2008 and has had minimal revenues since Inception. Management recognizes that the Company must raise capital sufficient to fund business activities until such time as it can generate sufficient revenues and net cash flows in amounts necessary to enable it to continue in existence. These factors include our history of net losses and that minimal revenues have been earned to date. The Company is dependent upon TGR Energy, LLC or Mike Zoi (as a result of his controlling interest in TGR and the Company’s dependence on the Subscription Agreement with TGR) to fund its operations. The Company’s independent auditors’ report on its financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009 contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that its current operating strategy, as described herein, provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern; however, there is no assurance this will occur.
NOTE 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s sole reportable business segment is the oil and gas services sector. The Company’s accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
NOTE 4. CONTRACT ACCOUNTING
The Company accounts for its long-term contracts using the completed contract method of revenue recognition due to increasing uncertainties relating to its sole customer’s ability to continue to finance the existing contract to completion. The completed contract method recognizes income only when the contract is substantially complete. Project costs and related revenues are accumulated and are reflected in operations only when an estimated loss is probable. The contract will be deemed complete when our customer agrees that each milestone contained in the contract has been met.
Billed contract receivables consist of amounts due under our sole contract for fiscal 2009, which has been stopped due to lack of financing by our customer. We have fully reserved for uncollected billings and for costs in excess of billings in the amount of $270,582. There are no revenues or costs charged to operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 or 2009 under the completed contract method. For more information, see Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition” above.
NOTE 5. JOINT VENTURES
On July 18, 2008, the Company executed an agreement to acquire a 75% controlling interest in TOT-SIBBNS, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Russian Federation. Pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, the owner (the “JV Partner”) of Sibburnefteservis, Ltd. of Novosibirsk, Russia (“SIBBNS”) contributed certain assets of SIBBNS to TOT SIBBNS in exchange for 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The assets were appraised at more than $6 million at the time of contribution and the Company is obligated to issue an additional 2,000,000 shares to the JV Partner when TOT SIBBNS achieves $10,000,000 in cumulative revenues. If on the third anniversary of the joint venture agreement, the Company’s stock price is not at least $1.00 per share, the Company will have the option of making an additional payment to the JV Partner or returning the Company’s interest in the joint venture to the JV Partner.
The Company formed a joint venture, Korlea-TOT Energy s.r.o., in July 2008 with its Czech Republic partner Korlea Invest. The Company invested $56,000 to provide the 51% of share capital that the Company owns for this limited liability company in the Czech Republic. The Company financed this investment through a related party note with Kazo, LLC. Korlea-TOT Energy s.r.o. will engage in marketing and trading of oil and natural gas in Eastern Europe. The Company issued Alexander Kaplan 350,000 newly issued shares of Company stock for his assistance in completing this transaction.

TGR Energy, LLC owned 98,157,334 shares of common stock of the Company as of December 17, 2007, and after the completion of the Exchange Agreement transactions owned an aggregate of 201,032,334 shares of common stock of the Company as of December 18, 2007. The Company had a total of 100,757,773 shares of common stock outstanding at December 17, 2007 and 214,507,773 shares of common stock outstanding at December 18, 2007.
On August 7, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a Subscription Agreement dated August 7, 2008 (the “ Subscription Agreement”) with TGR Energy, LLC (“TGR”), wherein TGR committed to invest up to $2,000,000 in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $0.02 per share. In addition, the Company granted TGR warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock for $0.05 per share. These warrants may be exercised within five years from the date of grant. The shares and warrants are issuable under the Subscription Agreement upon the funding from time to time by TGR. The valuation date to determine the appropriate compensation charge is the last day of the quarter then ended.
On August 13, 2008, the Board of Directors approved (i) the issuance of fully vested options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock to Curtis Wolfe for his services as a board member of the Company and (ii) the issuance of options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Jonathan New for his services as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Wolfe abstained from discussion of his option grants. Mr. New’s stock options will vest ratably over three years. Both sets of options have a life of 7 years from the date of grant and a strike price of $0.25 per share. Utilizing a Black-Scholes valuation model, at September 30, 2008, the Company recorded compensation expense of $0.10 per share or $10,000 for options granted to Mr. Wolfe and $4,444 for vested options of Mr. New. For the quarter and year ended March 31, 2009, the Company recorded compensation expense of $0.10 per share or $8,333 and $21,296, respectively, for vested options of Mr. New.
On August 25, 2008, in consideration for activities that resulted in the successful joint venture with Korlea-TOT, the Company issued 350,000 shares of restricted TOT-Energy, Inc. common stock to Kaplan Capital, LLC. The stock provided for services was valued based on the market price per share on date of issuance ($0.13 per share) and the Company recorded compensation expense of $45,500.
On November 1, 2008, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with Olympus Securities LLC (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, Olympus was appointed TOT Energy’s exclusive financial advisor and investment banker (collectively, the “Services”) for a period of seven (7) months. After expiration of this initial term, the Agreement is to automatically continue on a month-to-month basis, with each party having the right to terminate on thirty (30) days notice. The Agreement included a fee of one thousand dollars ($1,000) per month in return for the Services, except for the first month, where, instead of the monthly fee, the Company granted five (5) year warrants to Olympus to purchase one million (1,000,000) shares of the Company's common stock at ten cents ($.10) per share. The warrants were valued at $149,999 and were to be amortized over the seven-month term of the Agreement. The Agreement contains other provisions relating to payments of cash, stock and warrants in connection with any future financing or investment transaction completed through Olympus. The Company has not yet paid a cash fee or provided the abovementioned warrants to Olympus due to the failure by Olympus to provide meaningful investment banking services until world financial markets stabilized. Olympus has commenced providing strategic advice and other services to the Company and we are currently negotiating an amendment to the Agreement that will clarify payment and other terms, including issuance of securities, under the Agreement. The Company has amortized four months of the warrant charge and accrued this amount in the current period to reflect services provided.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued 10,697,250 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 5,348,625 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $213,945 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,390,643 was recorded for the quarter ending March 31, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable. A compensation charge of $8,827,218 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
At March 31, 2009, the Company had options to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock outstanding under its stock option plan, of which options to purchase 412,963 shares of common stock are vested, with an exercise price of $0.25 per share and with a remaining weighted average contractual term of 5.69 years.

NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts of assets and liabilities used for income tax purposes. At March 31, 2008 and 2009, the Company had cumulative federal net operating loss carry forwards (NOL) of approximately $5.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $0 and approximately $640,000 relates to our Russian subsidiary, TOT-SIBBNS for fiscal 2008 and 2009 respectively. The Company estimates that 24% is the proper tax rate for the Russian foreign loss and we estimate this loss will expire in 10 years (2019). The Company has determined that the net operating loss may not be realized and a valuation allowance has been recorded for the full amount of the tax loss carryforward.
The Company is deliquent in filing its federal tax returns for several years. However, since the Company did not record profits, it owes no tax, but may be subject to certain fines and penalties. The NOL expire beginning in December 2025. Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, annual use of any of the Company's net operation loss and credit carry forwards will be limited.
The net provision (benefit) for income taxes consisted of the following at March 31, 2008 and 2009:
| | 2008 | | | 2009 | |
Current Federal income taxes | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
Deferred income tax benefit | | | | | | | | |
Domestic | | | (215,000 | ) | | | (494,976 | ) |

Valuation allowance | | | 215,000 | | | | 648,608 | |
Total income tax provision | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets at March 31, 2008 and 2009 are as follows:
| | 2008 | | | 2009 | |
Net operating loss carryforwards | | $ | 1,930,000 | | | $ | 2,758,608 | |

Net deferred tax asset | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
Reconciliation between actual income taxes and amounts at March 31, 2008 and 2009 computed by applying the federal statutory rate of 34% to pre-tax loss is summarized as follows:
| | 2008 | | | 2009 | |
U. S. Federal statutory rate on loss before income taxes | | | 34.0 | % | | | 34.0 | % |
Benefit of lower foreign tax rates | | | 0.0 | % | | | -3.0 | % |

Total income tax provision | | | 0.0 | % | | | 0.0 | % |
NOTE 11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On August 7, 2008, the Company and TGR, which held 94% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, entered into the Subscription Agreement described above pursuant to which TGR has agreed to provide funding of up to $2,000,000 (the “Investment Amount”) in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, TGR will fund the Investment Amount as required in the Company’s operational budget. TGR’s obligation to fund the Investment Amount will be reduced by any future third party funding or investments in the Company on terms no less favorable than those contained in the Subscription Agreement.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued 10,697,250 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 5,348,625 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $213,945 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,390,643 was recorded for the quarter ending March 31, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable. A compensation charge of $8,827,218 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
NOTE 12. DEBT DUE TO RELATED PARTIES
During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, using the proceeds from the Subscription Agreement described above, the Company repaid $637,410 in related party loans. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had no outstanding related party obligations.
NOTE 13. TGR RESTRUCTURING
In December 2007, a related party structured a transaction that provided funds to the Company to settle its existing debts at a discount to the face amount of the obligations, restructured certain notes payable which was exchanged for newly issued common shares of the Company, and gave TGR substantial majority of the outstanding common shares (see Note 8 for more information).
NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Up until May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was $140,000 with a $30,000 bonus payable quarterly for meeting agreed upon objectives. On May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was reduced from $140,000 to 91,000 and his bonus was reduced from $30,000 to $19,500 annually.
To partially offset the reduction in salary, the Company provided Mr. New with 25,000 shares of fully vested common stock in lieu of his March 31, 2009 cash bonus and 200,000 shares of common stock which vest monthly from April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009. A compensation charge of $11,000 will be recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 (June 30, 2009) and a compensation charge of $11,000 will be recorded in the second quarter of 2010 (September 30, 2009) which reflects the market value per share ($0.11) on the first trading day after the date of grant.
Other employees (other than officers and directors) receiving salary reductions were granted a total of 50,000 shares of common stock vesting monthly between April 1, 2009 and September 30, 2009. The Company expects to record compensation expense of $2,582 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and $1,375 in the second quarter of 2010 to reflect the market value of stock provided in lieu of cash compensation. Both of these charges were calculated using the price per share of common stock ($0.11) on the first trade after the date of grant.
On April 2, 2009, TOT-SIBBNS determined there would be no further oil drilling operations under its existing contract for the current drilling season. TOT-SIBBNS has furloughed most employees (114 field and professional positions) until further notice. It is uncertain when or if drilling services under the existing contract will recommence. The contract for drilling services was temporarily suspended in January 2009 due to the inability of the customer to obtain necessary funding. TOT-SIBBNS’ equipment remains on-site and is expected to remain on-site through the summer.
TOT-SIBBNS has incurred costs during the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2009 to secure its equipment on the job site and prepare for recommencement of drilling operations in the event the customer obtains the necessary financing to maintain the oil field license required to conduct operations.
The oil production business in Russia is seasonal and cyclical and is currently experiencing a down cycle in large part due to the recently lower prices relating to the sales price for a barrel of crude oil. While we are hopeful that drilling service demand will increase when the price of oil increases and/or the Russian government adjusts drilling license regulations and fee structures, we can provide no assurance that this will be the case.

Item 9. Changes and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’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 appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure . In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of March 31, 2009, we continue to develop our core activities and focus our resources on the acquisition of assets in the energy sector. Our disclosure controls and procedures are currently not effective because there are a limited number of personnel employed and we cannot have an adequate segregation of duties, and due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as discussed below. Accordingly, management cannot provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management works to mitigate these risks by being personally involved in all substantive transactions and attempts to obtain verification of transactions and accounting policies and treatments involving our overseas operations. We are in the process of reviewing and, where necessary, modifying controls and procedures throughout the Company. We expect this process to continue through 2010.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We recognize that because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009. Our management’s evaluation of our internal control was based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO Framework”). Based on this evaluation under the COSO Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2009.
Management is aware of the following material weaknesses (a material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, 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 our internal control over financial reporting:
Control Environment
| · | Inadequate Written Policies and Procedures: Based on our management’s review of key accounting policies and procedures, our management determined that such policies and procedures were inadequate as of March 31, 2009. Management identified certain policies and procedures as inadequate and others as lacking in appropriate documentation. Management is in the process of enhancing existing policies and procedures and preparing formal written documentation as appropriate. |
| · | Segregation of Duties: We did not maintain adequate segregation of duties related to job responsibilities for initiating, authorizing, and recording of certain transactions as of March 31, 2009. Although we believe that we have established appropriate transaction approval criteria, we do not have sufficient personnel to provide an independent review of journal entries, account analyses, monitoring or adequate risk assessment functions. Due to this material weakness, there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in the financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The Company has attempted to mitigate certain of these risks by enhancing management’s oversight of various procedures for initiating, authorizing, and recording of various transactions and establishing more formal and rigorous written guidelines, policies and procedures. However, additional measures and personnel are required primarily with respect to our overseas operations. |
| · | Board of Directors and Audit Committee: We did not have a functioning audit committee as of March 31, 2009 due to the lack of a sufficient number of independent members on our board of directors and that no member qualifies as a “financial expert” as defined by regulations of the SEC. Our entire board of directors acted in place of an audit committee. However, since we do not have a financial expert on our board, the oversight and monitoring of internal controls and procedures are not effective. |
Control Activities
| · | Testing of Internal Controls: We have identified deficiencies in our testing of internal controls within our key business processes, particularly with respect to our overseas operations. This was primarily due to insufficient financial and personnel resources during fiscal 2009. Management believes there are control procedures that are effective in design and implementation within our key business processes. However, certain of these processes were not formally tested or adequately documented. |
Information and Communication
| · | Timeliness and Adequacy of Financial Reporting Disclosures: Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's controls were not effective as of March 31, 2009 due to inherent weaknesses present in the preparation of financial statements and related disclosures as a result of the limited financial personnel, information technology infrastructure and other resources. However, management believes that given the size and scope of the Company’s business that all material information was communicated to management within a time-frame that was adequate for management to make informed business and reporting decisions. |
Monitoring
| · | Internal Control Monitoring: As a result of the lack of financial and personnel resources, management’s ability to monitor the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls is limited. Accordingly, management’s ability to timely detect, prevent and remediate deficiencies and potential fraud risks is inadequate. |
Management intends to focus its remediation efforts in the near term on developing additional formal policies and procedures surrounding transaction processing, period-end account analyses and providing for additional review and monitoring procedures and periodically assess the need for additional accounting resources as the business develops and resources permit. Management also intends to formally evaluate and test the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing enhancements or improvements as resources permit. Additionally, the Company intends to appoint a financial expert and additional independent members to the board of directors as soon as such persons can be identified and incentivized to join the Company.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses discussed above, our management has concluded that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Other than as described above, there were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information
None.

Except as described below, we know of no person that beneficially owns more than 5% of our outstanding common stock. As of March 31, 2009 there were 300,583,108 shares of common stock outstanding. We believe, based on information supplied by the following persons that, except as noted, the persons named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock which they beneficially own. The amount and percentage of common stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities.

A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
On December 17, 2007, (1) certain holders, who had received shares in the Company as distributions from Splinex LLC, transferred their ownership of 35,162,334 shares of common stock of the Company to Splinex LLC for nominal consideration, and (2) Bzinfin, S.A., a British Virgin Islands limited corporation that is indirectly owned by an affiliate of Ener1 Group, Inc., a Florida company of which Mike Zoi is a shareholder and director and which is the majority shareholder of Ener1, Inc., and Ener1 Group assigned debt obligations of the Company to Splinex LLC in the amount of $2,805,207 and $845,864, respectively. Under a Purchase Agreement dated December 17, 2007, TGR Capital, LLC (which changed its name to Enerfund, LLC in September 2008), a Florida limited liability company (“Enerfund”), which is wholly-owned by Mike Zoi, acquired all of the membership interests in Splinex LLC, thereby giving Enerfund control of Splinex LLC.
Under an Exchange Agreement dated December 18, 2007, the Company agreed to issue 113,500,000 newly issued shares of the Company to Splinex LLC of which 8,500,000 shares were issued to Bzinfin and 2,125,000 were issued to a former affiliate of Splinex, LLC. Splinex LLC owned 98,157,334 shares of the Company as of December 17, 2007 and an aggregate of 201,032,334 shares after the completion of the Exchange Agreement on December 18, 2007. The Company had 100,757,769 shares outstanding at December 17, 2007 and 214,257,769 shares outstanding after the completion of the Exchange Agreement. In June 2008, Splinex, LLC changed its name to TGR Energy, LLC (“TGR”).
On August 7, 2008, the Company and TGR, which held 94% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, entered into the Subscription Agreement described above pursuant to which TGR has agreed to provide funding of up to $2,000,000 (the “Investment Amount”) in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, TGR will fund the Investment Amount as required in the Company’s operational budget. TGR’s obligation to fund the Investment Amount will be reduced by any future third party funding or investments in the Company on terms no less favorable than those contained in the Subscription Agreement.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable to a related party. A compensation charge of $8,827,218 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
Director Independence
Currently, there is no one serving on the board or any committee thereof who is a “financial expert” or “independent” under the Commission’s standards (Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act) as the Company’s limited financial resources are not adequate to attract and retain qualified candidates. For more information regarding the Board and committees thereof, see “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance” of this Report.
Board meetings and committees; annual meeting attendance
During fiscal 2009, the board held six meetings by telephonic conference or unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting that were attended or signed by all board members, except that Mr. Zoi did not participate in a meeting held on August 7, 2009 relating to approval of the Subscription Agreement due to a conflict of interest.
The Company does not have a formal policy regarding attendance by directors at annual meetings of security holders. However, if any board members do attend the annual meeting of security holders, their expenses will be reimbursed.
Shareholder communications
The Company does not have a formal process for shareholders to send communications directly to the board, which given the Company’s financial situation and limited resources, the board deems appropriate at this time.
Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services
Audit Fees. The aggregate fees, including expenses, billed by our current principal accountants in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements and review of regulatory filings including the financial statements included in our Annual and Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Kand 10-Q was $113,063 for fiscal 2009 and $57,499 for fiscal 2008.
Audit Related Fees. The aggregate fees, including expenses, billed by our current principal accountants for services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements not reported under “Audit Fees” above for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $0.
Tax Fees. The aggregate fees, including expenses, billed by our former and current principal accountants for services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $0.
All Other Fees. The aggregate fees, including expenses, billed for all other services rendered to us by our current principal accountants during fiscal 2009 and 2008 were $0.
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy
Our Audit Committee’s responsibilities (which in our case is the full Board of Directors) include selecting and hiring our independent auditors and approving the audit and non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditors. The Audit Committee’s policy is that all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent auditor shall be approved before the independent auditor is engaged for the particular services. These services may include audit services and permissible audit-related services, tax services and other services. The Audit Committee may in the future establish pre-approval procedures pursuant to which our independent auditor may provide certain audit and non-audit services to us without first obtaining the Audit Committee's approval. All fees paid to the independent auditors in fiscal 200 9 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee (which in our case is the full Board of Directors) , and therefore no services were approved after the services were rendered .

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Basis of Presentation
TOT Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Splinex Technology, Inc., was organized on February 6, 2004 under the laws of the State of Delaware as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Splinex, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and was the surviving entity pursuant to a merger with Ener1 Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Ener1, Inc., a Florida corporation. The Company initially intended to develop advanced technologies in the three-dimensional or 3D computer graphics industry. Under an agreement effective April 1, 2004 (the “Contribution Agreement”), Splinex, LLC contributed substantially all of its assets, liabilities and operations to the Company. The Company began its development stage activity on October 28, 2003 (“Inception”), the date of formation of Splinex, LLC, and ended development stage activity on July 16, 2008 when we acquired a 75% interest in the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture and began operations in the oil and gas service industry.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required for complete financial statements are not included herein. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the Company's Annual Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2009. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2010. It is recommended that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended March 31, 2009 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Basis of Consolidation
The interim financial statements include the accounts of TOT Energy, Inc., the accounts of our 75% joint venture, TOT- SIBBNS, a limited liability company formed under the laws of Russia (also known as the Russian Federation) and the accounts of our 51% joint venture, Korlea-TOT, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the Czech Republic. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in this consolidation.
Business Activity
TOT Energy, Inc. is working to acquire a portfolio of energy related assets. To this end, from time to time, the Company may be engaged in various discussions to acquire businesses or formulate joint venture or other arrangements with energy companies located around the world. Where appropriate, acquisitions will be financed with equity shares and this may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders. Prior to 2008, the Company developed computer software products.
TOT-SIBBNS provides exploration services to oil exploration and production companies located in and around Novosibirsk, Russia. TOT-SIBBNS owns and operates four oil-drilling rigs that plans to generate the majority of the revenues of TOT-SIBBNS. TOT-SIBBNS uses this equipment for drilling exploratory wells for fees. In addition, TOT-SIBBNS provides engineering services and well remediation services on a contract fee basis.
KORLEA-TOT is our 51% joint venture with Korlea Invest Holding AG of Switzerland (“Korlea”) who is a provider and trader of electricity in the Czech Republic. Korlea-TOT was expected to assist in the marketing of oil assets sourced by other TOT-Energy companies and contacts. There has been no activity to date with this joint venture.
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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of expenses for the period presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid money market investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. At June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its U.S. Dollar-denominated cash in a bank deposit account, the balance of which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Bank accounts in the United States are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. At June 30, 2009, and March 31, 2009, the United States bank balances did not exceed the FDIC limit. The Company also maintains bank balances in Russia and the Czech Republic and at June 30, 2009, the balances were $0 and $86,133, respectively. At March 31, 2009, bank balances in Russia and the Czech Republic were $0 and $76,656, respectively. The non-United States bank balances are not insured and there is risk of loss in the event such banks should fail.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company’s primary operations are conducted outside the United States and we use foreign currencies to operate our consolidated foreign subsidiaries. Quarterly income and expense items are translated into U.S. dollars using the average interbank rate for the three-month period. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the interbank rate as of the balance sheet date. Equity items are translated at their historical rate. The Company does not engage in any currency hedging activities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues from its contract on the completed contract method due to uncertainty in counterparty performance and collections under its terms. Under the completed contract method, revenues and costs are included in operations when the contract is completed. Any losses expected to be incurred are charged to operations in the period that such losses are probable.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares issuable upon exercise of common stock options or warrants. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The Company did not issue any new options for the three months ended June 30, 2009, but recorded a $8,426 compensation expense for options that vested during the period. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company also issued 4,077,700 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,038,850 shares of common stock in exchange for $81,554 pursuant to the terms of its subscription agreement with TGR Energy, LLC (see Notes 7 and 8). In addition, the Company issued 148,472 shares of common stock in lieu of compensation and 500,000 shares of common stock for marketing and promotional activities.
At June 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding vested stock options to purchase 497,222 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 43,401,018 shares of common stock. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, these securities are excluded from the earnings per share calculation because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
At June 30, 2008, the Company had 100,000 stock options outstanding that were not included in the calculation of earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash deposits, short-term payables and borrowings under related party payables. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of third-party financial instruments approximate fair value, due to their short-term maturities and the related party payables are interest bearing and payable on demand.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. No impairment losses were recorded during the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company had been in the development stage until the second quarter of 2008 and has had minimal revenues since Inception. Management recognizes that the Company must raise capital sufficient to fund business activities until such time as it can generate sufficient revenues and net cash flows in amounts necessary to enable it to continue in existence. These factors include our history of net losses and that minimal revenues have been earned to date. The Company is dependent upon TGR Energy, LLC or Mike Zoi (as a result of his controlling interest in TGR and the Company’s dependence on the Subscription Agreement with TGR) to fund its operations. The Company’s independent auditors’ report on its financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009 contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that its current operating strategy, as described herein, provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern; however, there is no assurance this will occur.
NOTE 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s sole reportable business segment is the oil and gas service sector. The Company’s accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
NOTE 4. CONTRACT ACCOUNTING
The Company accounts for its long-term contracts using the completed contract method of revenue recognition due to increasing uncertainties relating to its sole customer’s ability to continue to finance the existing contract to completion. The completed contract method recognizes income only when the contract is substantially complete. Project costs and related revenues are accumulated and are reflected in operations only when an estimated loss is probable. The contract will be deemed complete when our customer agrees that each milestone contained in the contract has been met.
Billed contract receivables consist of amounts due under our sole contract, which has been suspended due to lack of financing by our customer. We have fully reserved for uncollected billings and for costs in excess of billings in the amount of $322,485. There are no revenues or costs charged to operations for the periods ended June 30, 2009 or June 30, 2008 (TOT-SIBBNS was established in July, 2008) under the completed contract method. For more information, see Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition” above.
NOTE 5. JOINT VENTURES
On July 18, 2008, the Company executed an agreement to acquire a 75% controlling interest in TOT-SIBBNS, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Russian Federation. Pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, the owner (the “JV Partner”) of Sibburnefteservis, Ltd. of Novosibirsk, Russia (“SIBBNS”) contributed certain assets of SIBBNS to TOT SIBBNS in exchange for 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The assets were appraised at more than $6 million at the time of contribution and the Company is obligated to issue an additional 2,000,000 shares to the JV Partner when TOT SIBBNS achieves $10,000,000 in cumulative revenues. If on the third anniversary of the joint venture agreement, the Company’s stock price is not at least $1.00 per share, the Company will have the option of making an additional payment to the JV Partner or returning the Company’s interest in the joint venture to the JV Partner.
The Company formed a joint venture, Korlea-TOT Energy s.r.o., in July 2008 with its Czech Republic partner Korlea Invest. The Company invested $56,000 to provide the 51% of share capital that the Company owns for this limited liability company in the Czech Republic. The Company financed this investment through a related party Note with Kazo, LLC. Korlea-TOT Energy s.r.o. will engage in marketing and trading of oil and natural gas in Eastern Europe. The Company issued Alexander Kaplan 350,000 newly issued shares of Company stock for his assistance in completing this transaction.
NOTE 6. ACCRUED EXPENSES
Accrued expenses represent expenses that are owed at the end of the period and either have not been billed by the provider or are expenses that are estimated for services provided. At June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, accrued expenses consisted of the following:
| | June 30, 2009 | | | March 31, 2009 | |

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company is authorized to issue 800,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held. The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, which may be divided into series with the designations, powers, preferences, and relative rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions as determined by the Company’s board of directors.
Under an Exchange Agreement dated December 18, 2007, the Company agreed to issue 113,500,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company to TGR Energy, LLC, of which 8,500,000 shares were issued to Bzinfin, S.A., a British Virgin Islands limited corporation that is indirectly owned by an affiliate of the Ener1 Group, and 2,125,000 shares were issued to Alexander Malovik, a principal of Splinex, LLC, in exchange for the Bzinfin and Ener1 Group notes totaling $3,688,132. TGR Energy, LLC owned 98,157,334 shares of common stock of the Company as of December 17, 2007, and after the completion of the Exchange Agreement transactions owned an aggregate of 201,032,334 shares of common stock of the Company as of December 18, 2007.

In addition, the Company granted TGR warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock for $0.05 per share. These warrants may be exercised within five years from the date of grant. The shares and warrants are issuable under the Subscription Agreement upon the funding from time to time by TGR. The valuation date to determine the appropriate compensation charge is the last day of the quarter then ended.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded compensation expense of $0.10 per share or $8,426 for options of Mr. New issued on August 13, 2008 that vested during the quarter.
Up until May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was $140,000 with a $30,000 bonus payable quarterly for meeting agreed upon objectives. On May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was reduced from $140,000 to $91,000 and his bonus was reduced from $30,000 to $19,500 annually. To partially offset the reduction in salary, the Company provided Mr. New with 25,000 shares of fully vested common stock in lieu of his March 31, 2009 cash bonus and 200,000 shares of common stock which vest monthly from April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009. A compensation charge of $12,500 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and a compensation charge of $12,500 will be recorded for the quarter ending September 30, 2009, which reflects the market value per share ($0.10) on the first trading day after the date of grant.
Other employees (other than officers and directors) receiving salary reductions were granted a total of 50,000 shares of common stock vesting monthly between April 1, 2009 and September 30, 2009. The Company recorded a compensation expense of $2,347 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and expects to record a compensation expense of $1,250 for the quarter ending September 30, 2009, to reflect the market value of stock provided in lieu of cash compensation. Both of these charges were calculated using the price per share of common stock ($0.10) on the first trading date after the date of grant.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company accrued an expense of $64,285 relating to stock expected to be issued in exchange for services to be provided by Olympus Securities. The Company is currently negotiating a revised contract for such services. Given the unstable equity markets over the last nine months, the Company and Olympus are working together to find a solution that provides value for both parties.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable. A compensation charge of $8,827,218 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, TGR was issued 4,077,700 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 2,038,850 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $81,554 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,264,087 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.
The Company entered into a Sponsorship Agreement with American Speed Factory dated April 22, 2009, whereby the Company receives certain promotional services and sponsorship rights to display the Company’s logo in connection with the 2009 Ferrari Challenge racing season in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company. This arrangement is valued at $50,000, which amount was recorded as an advertising expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
At June 30, 2009, the Company had options to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock outstanding under its stock option plan, of which options to purchase 497,222 shares of common stock are vested, with an exercise price of $0.25 per share and with a remaining weighted average contractual term of 5.54 years. The Company also had warrants to purchase 43,401,018 shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2009 with a strike price of $0.05 per share and a remaining average contractual term of 4.28 years.
NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On August 7, 2008, the Company and TGR, which holds 94% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, entered into the Subscription Agreement described above pursuant to which TGR has agreed to provide funding of up to $2,000,000 (the “Investment Amount”) in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, TGR will fund the Investment Amount as required in the Company’s operational budget. TGR’s obligation to fund the Investment Amount will be reduced by any future third party funding or investments in the Company on terms no less favorable than those contained in the Subscription Agreement.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable. A compensation charge of $8,827,218 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, TGR was issued 4,077,700 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 2,038,850 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $81,554 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,264,087 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 filed with the Commission and the consolidated interim financial statements and related notes included in this Report.
General
We are working to build a diversified portfolio of energy assets. To this end, from time to time, we may be engaged in various discussions to acquire businesses or formulate joint venture or other arrangements with energy companies located around the world. Our policy is not to disclose discussions or potential transactions until definitive agreements have been executed. Where appropriate, acquisitions will be financed with equity shares and this may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.
On July 16, 2008, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Evgeny Bogorad (“Bogorad”), owner of Sibburnefteservis, Ltd. of Novosibirsk, Russia, an oil services company (“SIBBNS”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, Bogorad has contributed certain of SIBBNS assets and personnel to a joint venture company named TOT-SIBBNS, Ltd., a Russian corporation (“TOT-SIBBNS”). An independent appraisal company has appraised the contributed assets at US$6,221,881.
At the closing on July 16, 2008, we issued to Bogorad 3,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for a 75% interest in TOT-SIBBNS. We are obligated to issue to Bogorad 2,000,000 additional shares of common stock upon TOT-SIBBNS obtaining US$10,000,000 in gross revenue during the three-year period following the closing. If TOT-SIBBNS achieves this gross revenue target and Bogorad continues to hold the shares issued pursuant to the JV Agreement on the third anniversary of the closing and the stock price is less than US$1.00 per share, then we, in our sole discretion, must either make an additional payment in cash or additional shares of stock to Bogorad in an amount equal to the difference in the value per share and US$1.00 multiplied by the total number of shares held by Bogorad, or, if we decline to make such payment, Bogorad may require us to return our interest in TOT-SIBBNS in exchange for a payment to us of the fair market value of any assets acquired directly by TOT-SIBBNS (other than the assets initially contributed to the Joint Venture by Bogorad pursuant to the JV Agreement) and 75% of the retained earnings, accounts receivable and cash of TOT-SIBBNS. Bogorad will act as the manager of TOT-SIBBNS. We have the ability to appoint a majority of the Board of Directors of TOT-SIBBNS.
TOT-SIBBNS provides exploration services to oil exploration and production companies located in and around Novosibirsk, Russia. TOT-SIBBNS owns and operates four oil drilling rigs that generate the majority of the revenues of TOT-SIBBNS. TOT-SIBBNS uses this equipment for drilling exploratory wells for fees. In addition, TOT-SIBBNS provides engineering services and well remediation services on a contract fee basis.
On April 2, 2009, TOT-SIBBNS, our joint venture servicing the oil and gas industry in Russia, determined there would be no further oil drilling operations under its existing contract for the current drilling season. TOT-SIBBNS has furloughed most employees (114 field and professional positions) until further notice. It is uncertain when or if drilling services under the existing contract will recommence. The contract for drilling services was temporarily suspended in January 2009 due to the inability of the customer to obtain necessary funding. During the quarter ending June 30, 2009, TOT-SIBBNS removed some equipment via barge and incurred additional expenses to maintain and secure equipment on the job site. TOT-SIBBNS incurred total expenses of $51,903 relating to this contract for the quarter ending June 30, 2009. The majority of TOT-SIBBNS’ equipment remains on-site and is expected to remain on-site through the summer.
As previously disclosed, the oil production business in Russia is seasonal and cyclical and is currently experiencing a down cycle in large part due to the recently lower prices relating to the selling price for a barrel of crude oil. While we are hopeful that drilling service demand will increase when the price of oil increases and/or the Russian government adjusts drilling license regulations and fee structures, we can provide no assurance that this will be the case. We may not know whether our drilling operations will be able to recommence with our existing customer or other customers until the end of 2009.
KORLEA-TOT is our 51% joint venture with Korlea Invest Holding AG of Switzerland (“Korlea”) who is a provider and trader of energy assets in the Czech Republic. The new joint venture, Korlea-TOT, established as of July 17, 2008, is expected to assist in the marketing of oil assets sourced by other TOT-Energy companies and contacts. There has been no activity to date with this joint venture.
Short term financing is provided by TGR Energy, LLC (“TGR”) as we require additional working capital, pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated August 7, 2008 (the “Subscription Agreement”). TGR has agreed to provide up to $2,000,000 (the “Investment Amount”) in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, TGR will fund the Investment Amount as required in our operational budget. TGR’s obligation to fund the Investment Amount will be reduced by any future third party funding or investment on terms no less favorable than those contained in the Subscription Agreement.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable. A compensation charge of $8,827,218 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, TGR was issued 4,077,700 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 2,038,850 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $81,554 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,264,087 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.
The Company entered into a Sponsorship Agreement with American Speed Factory dated April 22, 2009, whereby the Company would receive certain promotional services and sponsorship rights to display the Company’s logo in connection with the 2009 Ferrari Challenge racing season in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company. This arrangement is valued at $50,000, which amount was recorded as an advertising expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Up until May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was $140,000 with a $30,000 bonus payable quarterly for meeting agreed upon objectives. On May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was reduced from $140,000 to 91,000 and his bonus was reduced from $30,000 to $19,500 annually. To partially offset the reduction in salary, the Company provided Mr. New with 25,000 shares of fully vested common stock in lieu of his March 31, 2009 cash bonus and 200,000 shares of common stock which vest monthly from April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009. A compensation charge of $12,500 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and a compensation charge of $12,500 will be recorded for the quarter ending September 30, 2009, which reflects the market value per share ($0.10) on the first trading day after the date of grant.
Other employees (other than officers and directors) receiving salary reductions were granted a total of 50,000 shares of common stock vesting monthly between April 1, 2009 and September 30, 2009. The Company recorded a compensation expense of $2,347 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and expects to record a compensation expense of $1,250 for the quarter ending September 30, 2009, to reflect the market value of stock provided in lieu of cash compensation. Both of these charges were calculated using the price per share of common stock ($0.10) on the first trading date after the date of grant.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company accrued an expense of $64,285 relating to stock expected to be issued in exchange for services to be provided by Olympus Securities. The Company is currently negotiating a revised contract for such services. Given the unstable equity markets over the last nine months, the Company and Olympus are working together to find a solution that provides value for both parties.
Several factors raise significant doubt as to our ability to continue operating as a going concern. These factors include our history of net losses and that we have recently commenced operations and, until the second quarter of 2008, have earned minimal revenues. We are dependent upon TGR Energy, LLC or Mike Zoi (as a result of his controlling interest in TGR and the Company’s dependence on the Subscription Agreement with TGR) to fund our operations. Our independent auditors’ report on our financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009 contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that our current operating strategy, as described in the preceding paragraphs, provides the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern; however, there is no assurance this will occur.
Results of Operations for the Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2009
We reported a net loss of $1,842,031 or $(0.01) per share for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $303,287 or $(0.00) per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Weighted average shares outstanding were 300,822,957 and 214,507,773 for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 was negatively impacted by the non-cash compensation expense of $1,264,087 related to shares and warrants issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement with TGR, as described above. Additionally the Company recorded $50,000 of non-cash marketing expenses relating to services provided in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a non-cash compensation charge of $23,273 for shares issued and options vested during the period.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, there were no operations and the loss of $303,287 was a result of general and administrative expenses associated with operating a public company and locating acquisition opportunities. There were no non-cash compensation and marketing expenses as described above in results for the quarter ending June 30, 2009.
Operations reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 include the expense associated with TOT-SIBBNS. TOT-SIBBNS accounts for projects using the completed contract method where all costs are capitalized on the balance sheet as Project Costs. Contract billings are recorded as a reduction to Project Costs and revenue will only be recognized once amounts collected exceed costs incurred. We reported no revenue from contracts during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and we had no revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Additionally, pursuant to the completed contract method, costs incurred for our existing oil drilling contract were $51,903 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and related primarily to the relocation, on-going maintenance and security, of equipment, which is reflected in general and administrative costs.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009, were $1,926,479 of which $337,900 were attributable to TOT-SIBBNS , $29 to Korlea-TOT for bank fees and $1,588,550 from TOT Energy corporate (USA) expenses. The following table details the major expense items by category for TOT-SIBBNS and the Company for the quarter ended June 30, 2009:

Other general and administrative expenses | | | 19,482 | | | | 112,031 | |
TOTAL | | | 1,588,550 | | | $ | 337,900 | |
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $303,287, as we had no business and minimal administrative expenses during this time. TOT-SIBBNS was purchased July 16, 2008 and there are no expenses associated with TOT-SIBBNS for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Other expense was $55 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared with $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we obtained funding of an aggregate of $81,554 under the Subscription Agreement with TGR and recognized a non-cash compensation expense of $1,264,087. This charge is the result of an intrinsic value calculation that measures the difference between fair value on date of issuance of the shares and the purchase price per share under the Subscription Agreement, which amounted to a compensation expense of $815,540. Additionally, the warrants to purchase 33,434,743 shares of common stock issued in connection with these fundings resulted in a corresponding compensation expense of $448,547 based on a Black-Scholes valuation model.
The non-controlling interest relating to the TOT-SIBBNS and Korlea-TOT joint ventures were $84,489 and $14, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared with $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The joint venture non-controlling interest reflects the joint venture partner’s ownership of each joint venture.
Liquidity and capital resources
At June 30, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $18,555,626 and cash of $88,953. We are dependent upon receiving funds from our controlling stockholder, TGR Energy, LLC, which is controlled by our president, Mike Zoi. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, TGR is obligated to invest up to $2,000,000 to fund short term working capital requirements in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.05. The shares and warrants will be issued quarterly and we will record an appropriate compensation expense as necessary based on the fair value of the securities on the last day of each fiscal quarter (the date of issuance). At June 30, 2009, the remaining investment obligation is $263,939.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable. A compensation charge of $8,827,218 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, TGR was issued 4,077,700 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 2,038,850 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $81,554 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,264,087was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
At June 30, 2009, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 165 (SFAS No. 165), Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Adoption of this Statement did not result in a change in current practice.
In April 2009, the FASB issued three related FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”): (i) FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2, “Recognition of Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”), (ii) FSP FAS No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), and (iii) FSP FAS No. 157-4, “Determining the Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4), which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and was adopted in the current period. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amend the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to modify the requirement for recognizing other-than-temporary impairments, change the existing impairment model, and modify the presentation and frequency of related disclosures. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”).
In May, 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles , which simply moves the requirements related to which authoritative literature to look to first from the audit standards to GAAP. The Company will adopt FAS 162 for the quarter ending September 30, 2009.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’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 appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure . In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of June 30, 2009, we continue to develop our core activities and focus our resources on the acquisition of assets in the energy sector. Our disclosure controls and procedures are currently not effective because there are a limited number of personnel employed and we cannot have an adequate segregation of duties, and due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K previously filed with the SEC. Accordingly, management cannot provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management works to mitigate these risks by being personally involved in all substantive transactions and attempts to obtain verification of transactions and accounting policies and treatments involving our overseas operations. We are in the process of reviewing and, where necessary, modifying controls and procedures throughout the Company as resources permit. We expect this process to continue through the remainder of fiscal 2010.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, there were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 1. Legal proceedings

In April 2009, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock in exchange for marketing and promotional activities.

TOT ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Basis of Presentation
TOT Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Splinex Technology, Inc., was organized on February 6, 2004 under the laws of the State of Delaware as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Splinex, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and was the surviving entity pursuant to a merger with Ener1 Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Ener1, Inc., a Florida corporation. The Company initially intended to develop advanced technologies in the three-dimensional or 3D computer graphics industry. Under an agreement effective April 1, 2004 (the “Contribution Agreement”), Splinex, LLC contributed substantially all of its assets, liabilities and operations to the Company. The Company began its development stage activity on October 28, 2003 (“Inception”), the date of formation of Splinex, LLC, and ended development stage activity on July 16, 2008 when we acquired a 75% interest in the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture and began operations in the oil and gas service industry.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required for complete financial statements are not included herein. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the Company's Annual Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2009. Operating results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any particular quarterly period or the year ending March 31, 2010. It is recommended that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended March 31, 2009 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Basis of Consolidation
The interim financial statements include the accounts of TOT Energy, Inc., the accounts of our 75% joint venture, TOT- SIBBNS, a limited liability company formed under the laws of Russia (also known as the Russian Federation) and the accounts of our 51% joint venture, Korlea-TOT, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the Czech Republic. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in this consolidation.
Business Activity
TOT Energy, Inc. is working to acquire a portfolio of energy related assets. To this end, from time to time, the Company may be engaged in various discussions to acquire businesses or formulate joint venture or other arrangements with energy companies located around the world. Where appropriate, acquisitions will be financed with equity shares and this may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders. Prior to 2008, the Company developed computer software products.
TOT-SIBBNS provides exploration services to oil exploration and production companies located in and around Novosibirsk, Russia. TOT-SIBBNS owns and operates four oil-drilling rigs that generate the majority of the revenues of TOT-SIBBNS. TOT-SIBBNS uses this equipment for drilling exploratory wells for fees. In addition, TOT-SIBBNS provides engineering services and well remediation services on a contract fee basis.
KORLEA-TOT is our 51% joint venture with Korlea Invest Holding AG of Switzerland (“Korlea”) who is a provider and trader of electricity in the Czech Republic. Korlea-TOT was expected to assist in the marketing of oil assets sourced by other TOT-Energy companies and contacts. There has been no activity to date with this joint venture.
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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of expenses for the period presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid money market investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. At September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its U.S. Dollar-denominated cash in a bank deposit account, the balance of which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Bank accounts in the United States are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to a limit of $250,000. At September 30, 2009, and March 31, 2009, the United States bank balances did not exceed the FDIC limit. The Company also maintains bank balances in Russia and the Czech Republic and at September 30, 2009, the balances were $0 and $92,192 respectively. At March 31, 2009, bank balances in Russia and the Czech Republic were $0 and $76,656, respectively. The non-United States bank balances are not insured and there is risk of loss in the event such banks should fail.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company’s primary operations are conducted outside the United States and we use foreign currencies to operate our consolidated foreign subsidiaries. Quarterly income and expense items are translated into U.S. dollars using the average interbank rate for the three-month period. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the interbank rate as of the balance sheet date. Equity items are translated at their historical rate. The Company does not engage in any currency hedging activities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues from its contract on the completed contract method due to uncertainty in counterparty performance and collections under its terms. Under the completed contract method, revenues and costs are included in operations when the contract is completed. Any losses expected to be incurred are charged to operations in the period that such losses are probable.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares issuable upon exercise of common stock options or warrants. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The Company did not issue any new options for the six months ended September 30, 2009, but recorded a compensation expense of $16,945 for options that vested during the period. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued 5,395,600 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2,697,800 shares of common stock in exchange for $107,912 pursuant to the terms of its subscription agreement with TGR Energy, LLC (see Notes 7 and 8). In addition, the Company issued 110,417 shares of common stock in lieu of compensation (see Note 7).
At September 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding vested stock options to purchase 582,407 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 46,098,818 shares of common stock. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2009, these securities are excluded from the earnings per share calculation because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
At September 30, 2008, the Company had 582,407 stock options outstanding that were not included in the calculation of earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash deposits, short-term payables and borrowings under related party payables. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of third-party financial instruments approximate fair value, due to their short-term maturities and the related party payables are interest bearing and payable on demand.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. No impairment losses were recorded during the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
Subsequent Events
For the purposes of determining whether a post-balance sheet event should be evaluated to determine whether it has an effect on the financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2009, subsequent events were evaluated by the Company as of November 16, 2009, the date on which the unaudited consolidated financial statements at and for the period ended September 30, 2009, were available to be issued.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company had been in the development stage until the second quarter of 2008 and has had minimal revenues since Inception. Management recognizes that the Company must raise capital sufficient to fund business activities until such time as it can generate sufficient revenues and net cash flows in amounts necessary to enable it to continue in existence. These factors include our history of net losses and that minimal revenues have been earned to date. The Company is dependent upon TGR Energy, LLC or Mike Zoi (as a result of his controlling interest in TGR and the Company’s dependence on the Subscription Agreement with TGR) to fund its operations. TGR Energy, LLC remains obligated to invest up to $120,614 remaining from the $2,000,000 subscription agreement. The Company’s independent auditors’ report on its financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009 contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that its current operating strategy, as described herein, provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern; however, there is no assurance this will occur.
NOTE 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s sole reportable business segment is the oil and gas service sector. The Company’s accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
NOTE 4. CONTRACT ACCOUNTING
The Company accounts for its long-term contracts using the completed contract method of revenue recognition due to increasing uncertainties relating to its sole customer’s ability to continue to finance the existing contract to completion. The completed contract method recognizes income only when the contract is substantially complete. Project costs and related revenues are accumulated and are reflected in operations only when an estimated loss is probable. The contract will be deemed complete when our customer agrees that each milestone contained in the contract has been met.
Billed contract receivables consist of amounts due under our sole contract, which has been suspended due to lack of financing by our customer. We have fully reserved for uncollected billings and for costs in excess of billings in the amount of $429,486. There are no revenues or costs charged to operations for the periods ended September 30, 2009 or September 30, 2008 under the completed contract method. For more information, see Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition” above.
NOTE 5. JOINT VENTURES
On July 18, 2008, the Company executed an agreement to acquire a 75% controlling interest in TOT-SIBBNS, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Russian Federation. Pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, the owner (the “JV Partner”) of Sibburnefteservis, Ltd. of Novosibirsk, Russia (“SIBBNS”) contributed certain assets of SIBBNS to TOT SIBBNS in exchange for 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The assets were appraised at more than $6 million at the time of contribution and the Company is obligated to issue an additional 2,000,000 shares to the JV Partner when TOT SIBBNS achieves $10,000,000 in cumulative revenues. If on the third anniversary of the joint venture agreement, the Company’s stock price is not at least $1.00 per share, the Company will have the option of making an additional payment to the JV Partner or returning the Company’s interest in the joint venture to the JV Partner.
The Company formed a joint venture, Korlea-TOT Energy s.r.o., in July 2008 with its Czech Republic partner Korlea Invest. The Company invested $56,000 to provide the 51% of share capital that the Company owns for this limited liability company in the Czech Republic. The Company financed this investment through a related party Note with Kazo, LLC. Korlea-TOT Energy s.r.o. will engage in marketing and trading of oil and natural gas in Eastern Europe. The Company issued Alexander Kaplan 350,000 newly issued shares of Company stock for his assistance in completing this transaction.
NOTE 6. ACCRUED EXPENSES
Accrued expenses represent expenses that are owed at the end of the period and either have not been billed by the provider or are expenses that are estimated for services provided. At September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, accrued expenses consisted of the following:

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company is authorized to issue 800,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held. The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, which may be divided into series with the designations, powers, preferences, and relative rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions as determined by the Company’s board of directors.
Under an Exchange Agreement dated December 18, 2007, the Company agreed to issue 113,500,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company to TGR Energy, LLC, of which 8,500,000 shares were issued to Bzinfin, S.A., a British Virgin Islands limited corporation that is indirectly owned by an affiliate of the Ener1 Group, and 2,125,000 shares were issued to Alexander Malovik, a principal of Splinex, LLC, in exchange for the Bzinfin and Ener1 Group notes totaling $3,688,132. TGR Energy, LLC owned 98,157,334 shares of common stock of the Company as of December 17, 2007, and after the completion of the Exchange Agreement transactions owned an aggregate of 201,032,334 shares of common stock of the Company as of December 18, 2007. The Company had a total of 100,757,773 shares of common stock outstanding at December 17, 2007 and 214,507,773 shares of common stock outstanding at December 18, 2007.
On August 7, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a Subscription Agreement dated August 7, 2008 (the “ Subscription Agreement”) with TGR Energy, LLC (“TGR”), wherein TGR committed to invest up to $2,000,000 in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $0.02 per share. In addition, the Company granted TGR warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock for $0.05 per share. These warrants may be exercised within five years from the date of grant. The shares and warrants are issuable under the Subscription Agreement upon the funding from time to time by TGR. The valuation date to determine the appropriate compensation charge is the last day of the quarter then ended.
For the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded compensation expense of $0.10 per share or $8,519 and $16,945, respectively for options of Mr. New issued on August 13, 2008 that vested during the quarter and the six month period ended September 30, 2009.
Up until May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was $140,000 with a $30,000 bonus payable quarterly for meeting agreed upon objectives. On May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was reduced from $140,000 to $91,000 and his bonus was reduced from $30,000 to $19,500 annually. To partially offset the reduction in salary, the Company provided Mr. New with 25,000 shares of fully vested common stock in lieu of his March 31, 2009 cash bonus and 200,000 shares of common stock which vest monthly from April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009. A compensation charge of $12,500 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and a compensation charge of $10,000 was recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, which reflects the market value per share ($0.10) on the first trading day after the date of grant.
Other employees (other than officers and directors) receiving salary reductions were granted a total of 50,000 shares of common stock vesting monthly between April 1, 2009 and September 30, 2009. The Company recorded a compensation charge of $2,347 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and a compensation expense of $1,042 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, to reflect the market value of stock provided in lieu of cash compensation. Both of these charges were calculated using the price per share of common stock ($0.10) on the first trading date after the date of grant.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company accrued an expense of $64,285 relating to stock expected to be issued in exchange for services to be provided by Olympus Securities. The Company is currently negotiating a revised contract for such services. Given the unstable equity markets last year, the Company and Olympus are working together to find a solution that provides value for both parties going forward. There were no charges for this agreement for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable. A compensation charge of $8,812,774 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, TGR was issued 4,077,700 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 2,038,850 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $81,554 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,264,087 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, TGR was issued 5,395,600 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 2,697,800 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $107,912 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $2,077,306 was recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.
The Company entered into a Sponsorship Agreement with American Speed Factory dated April 22, 2009, whereby the Company receives certain promotional services and sponsorship rights to display the Company’s logo in connection with the 2009 Ferrari Challenge racing season in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company. This arrangement is valued at $50,000, which amount was recorded as an advertising expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
At September 30, 2009, the Company had options to purchase 1,200,000 shares of common stock outstanding under its stock option plan, of which options to purchase 582,407 shares of common stock are vested, with an exercise price of $0.25 per share and with a remaining weighted average contractual term of 5.36 years. The Company also had warrants to purchase 46,098,818 shares of common stock outstanding at September 30, 2009 with a strike price of $0.05 per share and a remaining average contractual term of 4.31 years.
NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On August 7, 2008, the Company and TGR, which holds 95% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, entered into the Subscription Agreement described above pursuant to which TGR has agreed to provide funding of up to $2,000,000 (the “Investment Amount”) in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, TGR will fund the Investment Amount as required in the Company’s operational budget. TGR’s obligation to fund the Investment Amount will be reduced by any future third party funding or investments in the Company on terms no less favorable than those contained in the Subscription Agreement.
See Note 7 for equity securities issued to TGR Energy, LLC under the terms of the Subscription Agreement.

General
We are working to build a diversified portfolio of energy assets. To this end, from time to time, we may be engaged in various discussions to acquire businesses or formulate joint venture or other arrangements with energy companies located around the world. Our policy is not to disclose discussions or potential transactions until definitive agreements have been executed. Where appropriate, acquisitions will be financed with equity shares and this may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.
On July 16, 2008, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Evgeny Bogorad (“Bogorad”), owner of Sibburnefteservis, Ltd. of Novosibirsk, Russia, an oil service company (“SIBBNS”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, Bogorad has contributed certain of SIBBNS assets and personnel to a joint venture company named TOT-SIBBNS, Ltd., a Russian corporation (“TOT-SIBBNS”). An independent appraisal company has appraised the contributed assets at $6,221,881.
At the closing on July 16, 2008, we issued to Bogorad 3,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for a 75% interest in TOT-SIBBNS. We are obligated to issue to Bogorad 2,000,000 additional shares of common stock upon TOT-SIBBNS obtaining $10,000,000 in gross revenue during the three-year period following the closing. If TOT-SIBBNS achieves this gross revenue target and Bogorad continues to hold the shares issued pursuant to the JV Agreement on the third anniversary of the closing and the stock price is less than $1.00 per share, then we, in our sole discretion, must either make an additional payment in cash or additional shares of stock to Bogorad in an amount equal to the difference in the value per share and $1.00 multiplied by the total number of shares held by Bogorad, or, if we decline to make such payment, Bogorad may require us to return our interest in TOT-SIBBNS in exchange for a payment to us of the fair market value of any assets acquired directly by TOT-SIBBNS (other than the assets initially contributed to the Joint Venture by Bogorad pursuant to the JV Agreement) and 75% of the retained earnings, accounts receivable and cash of TOT-SIBBNS. Bogorad will act as the manager of TOT-SIBBNS. We have the ability to appoint a majority of the Board of Directors of TOT-SIBBNS.
TOT-SIBBNS provides exploration services to oil exploration and production companies located in and around Novosibirsk, Russia. TOT-SIBBNS owns and operates four oil-drilling rigs that have generated the majority of the revenues of TOT-SIBBNS. TOT-SIBBNS uses this equipment for drilling exploratory wells for fees. In addition, TOT-SIBBNS provides engineering services and well remediation services on a contract fee basis.
On April 2, 2009, TOT-SIBBNS, our joint venture servicing the oil and gas industry in Russia, determined there would be no further oil drilling operations under its existing contract for the prior drilling season. TOT-SIBBNS has furloughed most employees (114 field and professional positions) until further notice. It is uncertain when or if drilling services under the existing contract will recommence. The contract for drilling services was temporarily suspended in January 2009 due to the inability of the customer to obtain necessary funding. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, TOT-SIBBNS incurred additional expenses to rig, maintain and secure equipment on the job site in order to ensure our customer was granted an extension of their license. TOT-SIBBNS incurred total expenses of $104,475 relating to this contract for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and $156,378 for the six months ended September 30, 2009.
As previously disclosed, the oil production business in Russia is seasonal and cyclical and was experiencing a down cycle in large part due to the lower prices relating to the selling price for a barrel of crude oil. While we are hopeful that drilling service demand will increase as prices currently remain stable in the $80 per barrel range (or higher) and/or the Russian government adjusts drilling license regulations and fee structures, we can provide no assurance that this will be the case. We our currently marketing drilling operations for the upcoming drilling season (November – April) and we continue to advance rigging on our one, non-paying contract in order to allow our customer to retain their drilling license (see Note 4) and continue on the project.
KORLEA-TOT is our 51% joint venture with Korlea Invest Holding AG of Switzerland (“Korlea”) who is a provider and trader of energy assets in the Czech Republic. The new joint venture, Korlea-TOT, established as of July 17, 2008, is expected to assist in the marketing of oil assets sourced by other TOT-Energy companies and contacts. There has been no activity to date with this joint venture.
Short term financing is provided by TGR Energy, LLC (“TGR”) as we require additional working capital, pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated August 7, 2008 (the “Subscription Agreement”). TGR has agreed to provide up to $2,000,000 (the “Investment Amount”) in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, TGR will fund the Investment Amount as required in our operational budget. TGR’s obligation to fund the Investment Amount will be reduced by any future third party funding or investment on terms no less favorable than those contained in the Subscription Agreement.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable. A compensation charge of $8,812,774 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, TGR was issued 4,077,700 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 2,038,850 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $81,554 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,264,087 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, TGR was issued 5,395,600 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 2,697,800 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $107,912 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $2,077,306 was recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.
The Company entered into a Sponsorship Agreement with American Speed Factory dated April 22, 2009, whereby the Company would receive certain promotional services and sponsorship rights to display the Company’s logo in connection with the 2009 Ferrari Challenge racing season in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company. This arrangement is valued at $50,000, which amount was recorded as an advertising expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Up until May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was $140,000 with a $30,000 bonus payable quarterly for meeting agreed upon objectives. On May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was reduced from $140,000 to 91,000 and his bonus was reduced from $30,000 to $19,500 annually. To partially offset the reduction in salary, the Company provided Mr. New with 25,000 shares of fully vested common stock in lieu of his March 31, 2009 cash bonus and 200,000 shares of common stock which vest monthly from April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009. A compensation charge of $12,500 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and a compensation charge of $10,000 was recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, which reflects the market value per share ($0.10) on the first trading day after the date of grant.
Other employees (other than officers and directors) receiving salary reductions were granted a total of 50,000 shares of common stock vesting monthly between April 1, 2009 and September 30, 2009. The Company recorded a compensation expense of $2,347 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and a compensation expense of $1,042 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, to reflect the market value of stock provided in lieu of cash compensation. Both of these charges were calculated using the price per share of common stock ($0.10) on the first trading date after the date of grant.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company accrued an expense of $64,285 relating to stock expected to be issued in exchange for services to be provided by Olympus Securities. The Company is currently negotiating a revised contract for such services. Given the unstable equity markets over the last year, the Company and Olympus are working together to find a solution that provides value for both parties. There were no charges relating to this agreement for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Several factors raise significant doubt as to our ability to continue operating as a going concern. These factors include our history of net losses and that we have recently commenced operations and, until the second quarter of 2008, have earned minimal revenues. We are dependent upon TGR Energy, LLC or Mike Zoi (as a result of his controlling interest in TGR and our dependence on the Subscription Agreement with TGR) to fund our operations. Our independent auditors’ report on our financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009 contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that our current operating strategy, as described in the preceding paragraphs, provides the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern; however, there is no assurance this will occur.
Results of Operations for the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
We reported a net loss of $2,557,742 or $(0.01) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $2,160,261 or $(0.01) per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Weighted average shares outstanding were 305,370,458 and 217,238,413 for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 was negatively impacted by the non-cash compensation expense of $2,077,306 related to shares and warrants issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement with TGR as compared with a non-cash compensation expense of $1,729,656 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Additionally the Company recorded a non-cash compensation charge of $19,561 for shares issued and options vested during the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with a non-cash compensation charge of $14,444 during the three month period ended September 30, 2008.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, there were no operations until mid-July when we purchased a 75% interest in TOT-SIBBNS. TOT-SIBBNS accounts for projects using the completed contract method where all costs are capitalized on the balance sheet as Project Costs. Contract billings are recorded as a reduction to Project Costs and revenue will only be recognized once amounts collected exceed costs incurred. We reported no revenue from contracts during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and we had no revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Additionally, pursuant to the completed contract method, costs incurred for our existing oil drilling contract were $104,475 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and related primarily to the rigging, on-going maintenance and security, of equipment, which is reflected in general and administrative costs.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009, were $2,639,159 of which $325,572 were attributable to TOT-SIBBNS and $2,313,537 were attributable to TOT Energy primarily relating to non-cash compensation expense. The following table details the major expense items by category for the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008:

TOTAL | | $ | 2,639,159 | | | $ | 2,185,744 | | | $ | 453,415 | |
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, we obtained funding of an aggregate of $107,912 under the Subscription Agreement with TGR and recognized a non-cash compensation expense of $2,077,306. This charge is the result of an intrinsic value calculation that measures the difference between fair value on date of issuance of the shares and the purchase price per share under the Subscription Agreement, which amounted to a compensation expense of $1,348,900. Additionally, the warrants to purchase 2,697,800 shares of common stock issued in connection with these fundings resulted in a corresponding compensation expense of $728,406 based on a Black-Scholes valuation model. The total compensation charge for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 was $1,729,656.
Professional fees were $17,873 lower for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the same period in 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, consulting expenses for U.S. operations were $50,863 lower and payroll was $11,180 lower as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Other expenses of $50,558 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were considerably lower than other expenses of $81,695 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of lower state tax accrual and lower rent and filing fee expenses.
TOT-SIBBNS general and administrative expenses were $222,713 higher during the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the same period in 2008. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, all expenses and contract project costs are charged to operations as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2008 where TOT-SIBBNS capitalized $148,928 in project costs. Additionally, general and administrative costs were favorably impacted by the difference in the number of days included in each quarterly period. The 2008 quarterly period was 75 days due to the establishment of the joint venture in July 2008 as compared with a full 90 day quarterly period in 2009.
Other expense was $0 and $309 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively.
The non-controlling interest relating to the TOT-SIBBNS and Korlea-TOT joint ventures were $81,393 and $25, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with $25,792 and $0, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The joint venture non-controlling interest reflects the joint venture partner’s ownership of each joint venture.
Results of Operations for the Six-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
We reported a net loss of $4,399,773 or $(0.01) per share for the six months ended September 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $2,463,549 or $(0.01) per share for the six months ended September 30, 2008. Weighted average shares outstanding were 303,323,673 and 215,873,093 for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
During the six months ended September 30, 2009, we obtained funding of an aggregate of $189,466 under the Subscription Agreement with TGR and recognized a non-cash compensation expense of $3,341,393. This charge is the result of an intrinsic value calculation that measures the difference between fair value on date of issuance of the shares and the purchase price per share under the Subscription Agreement, which amounted to a compensation expense of $2,164,440. Additionally, the warrants to purchase 4,736,650 shares of common stock issued in connection with these fundings resulted in a corresponding compensation expense of $1,176,953 based on a Black-Scholes valuation model. For the six months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred a total compensation charge of $1,729,656 in connection with fundings under the Subscription Agreement.
TOT-SIBBNS general and administrative expenses were $663,472 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with $102,859 reported for the six months ended September 30, 2008. The $102,859 represents only 75 days of general and administrative expenses as we formed the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture on July 16, 2008. The $663,472 represents a full six months of operating expenses.
Investor relations expense was $83,535 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and $36,268 for the same period in 2008. The $47,267 in additional expense was a result of $64,285 accrued for expected stock based investor relations compensation (see Note 6). Rent expense decreased due to relocating U.S. operations to cheaper office space. Additionally, consulting fees paid in 2008 of $45,500 relating to the formation of Korlea-TOT joint venture were not reproduced in 2009. Professional fees decreased by $75,914 in 2009 when compared to the six month period ended September 30, 2008 as a result of lower consulting, legal and accounting fees for the six months ended September 30, 2009.
The following table summarizes general and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:

Liquidity and capital resources
At September 30, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,115,637 and cash of $95,950. We are dependent upon receiving funds from our controlling stockholder, TGR Energy, LLC, which is controlled by our president, Mike Zoi. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, TGR is obligated to invest up to $2,000,000 to fund short term working capital requirements in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.05. The shares and warrants will be issued quarterly and we will record an appropriate compensation expense as necessary based on the fair value of the securities on the last day of each fiscal quarter (the date of issuance). At September 30, 2009, the remaining investment obligation is $120,614.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable. A compensation charge of $8,812,774 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, TGR was issued 4,077,700 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 2,038,850 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $81,554 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,264,087was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, TGR was issued 5,395,600 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 2,697,800 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $107,912 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $2,077,306 was recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
At September 30, 2009, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.” SFAS No. 168 sets forth the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP. The Codification was launched on July 1, 2009 and is the official source of authoritative, nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), EITF, and related literature. After the Codification was launched on July 1, 2009, only one level of authoritative U.S. GAAP exists, other than guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. All other accounting literature excluded from the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and was adopted by the Company for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855, Subsequent Events (formerly SFAS No. 165), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Adoption of this Statement did not result in a change in current practice.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly SFAS 157) effective April 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities and any other assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (see “NOTE 10 — Fair Value Measurement”). The adoption of this statement on April 1, 2008, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
FASB ASC 820 provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:
Level 1 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access. |
Level 2 | Inputs to the valuation methodology include: |
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at September 30, 2009 and 2008.
Stock Options and Warrants: Options and warrants are Level 2 in the valuation framework. Options and warrants are granted to employees, vendors and others for incentive purposes or in exchange for services. The Company values options and warrants using a Black-Scholes valuation model that considers the Company’s stock volatility, stock price, dividends, option/warrant term, option/warrant exercise price and a bond equivalent yield. Using the inputs above, an option or warrant value is determined using the Black-Scholes formula and this value is multiplied by the number of securities provided in order to determine a fair value charge for the particular options or warrants under valuation.
Common Stock: Valued at the quoted closing price reported on the over the counter bulletin board (OTCBB) exchange as of the first day after the stock is granted that the stock trades less any compensation received for common stock. Common stock is treated as Level 1 in the valuation framework above.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’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 appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure . In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of September 30, 2009, we continue to develop our core activities and focus our resources on the acquisition of assets in the energy sector. Our disclosure controls and procedures are currently not effective because there are a limited number of personnel employed and we cannot have an adequate segregation of duties, and due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K previously filed with the SEC. Accordingly, management cannot provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management works to mitigate these risks by being personally involved in all substantive transactions and attempts to obtain verification of transactions and accounting policies and treatments involving our overseas operations. We are in the process of reviewing and, where necessary, modifying controls and procedures throughout the Company as resources permit. We expect this process to continue through fiscal 2011.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, there were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal proceedings
We are not currently a party to any such proceedings the outcome of which would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, TGR was issued 5,395,600 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 2,697,800 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $107,912 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued an aggregate of 110,417 shares of common stock in lieu of salaries and bonuses to employees of the Company.
We believe that each of the foregoing securities transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.

TOT ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Basis of Presentation
TOT Energy, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Splinex Technology, Inc., was organized on February 6, 2004 under the laws of the State of Delaware as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Splinex, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and was the surviving entity pursuant to a merger with Ener1 Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Ener1, Inc., a Florida corporation. The Company initially intended to develop advanced technologies in the three-dimensional or 3D computer graphics industry. Under an agreement effective April 1, 2004 (the “Contribution Agreement”), Splinex, LLC contributed substantially all of its assets, liabilities and operations to the Company. The Company began its development stage activity on October 28, 2003 (“Inception”), the date of formation of Splinex, LLC, and ended development stage activity on July 16, 2008 when we acquired a 75% interest in the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture and began operations in the oil and gas service industry.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required for complete financial statements are not included herein. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the Company's Annual Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2009. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any particular quarterly period or the year ending March 31, 2010. It is recommended that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended March 31, 2009 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Basis of Consolidation
The interim financial statements include the accounts of TOT Energy, Inc., the accounts of our 75% joint venture, TOT- SIBBNS, a limited liability company formed under the laws of Russia (also known as the Russian Federation) and the accounts of our 51% joint venture, Korlea-TOT, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the Czech Republic. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in this consolidation.
Business Activity
TOT Energy, Inc. is working to acquire a portfolio of energy related assets. To this end, from time to time, the Company may be engaged in various discussions to acquire businesses or formulate joint venture or other arrangements with energy companies located around the world. Where appropriate, acquisitions will be financed with equity shares and this may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders. Prior to 2008, the Company developed computer software products.
TOT-SIBBNS provides exploration services to oil exploration and production companies located in and around Novosibirsk, Russia. TOT-SIBBNS owns and operates four oil-drilling rigs that generate the majority of the revenues of TOT-SIBBNS. TOT-SIBBNS uses this equipment for drilling exploratory wells for fees. In addition, TOT-SIBBNS provides engineering services and well remediation services on a contract fee basis. The Company has determined to unwind the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture (See Note 9 – Subsequent Events).
KORLEA-TOT is our 51% joint venture with Korlea Invest Holding AG of Switzerland (“Korlea”) who is a provider and trader of electricity in the Czech Republic. Korlea-TOT was expected to assist in the marketing of oil assets sourced by other TOT-Energy companies and contacts. There has been no activity to date with this joint venture.
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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of expenses for the period presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid money market investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. At December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its U.S. Dollar-denominated cash in a bank deposit account, the balance of which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Bank accounts in the United States are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to a limit of $250,000. At December 31, 2009, we had $330,183 in one account at Bank of America and the rest of our balances did not exceed the $250,000 FDIC limit at December 31, 2009. At March 31, 2009, the Company did not have any balances in USA in excess of $250,000.
The Company also maintains bank balances in Russia and the Czech Republic and at December 31, 2009, the balances were $17,179 and $105,972 respectively. At March 31, 2009, bank balances in Russia and the Czech Republic were $0 and $76,656, respectively. The non-United States bank balances are not insured and there is risk of loss in the event such banks should fail.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The Company’s primary operations are conducted outside the United States and we use foreign currencies to operate our consolidated foreign subsidiaries. Quarterly income and expense items are translated into U.S. dollars using the average interbank rate for the three-month period. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the interbank rate as of the balance sheet date. Equity items are translated at their historical rate. The Company does not engage in any currency hedging activities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues from its contract on the completed contract method due to uncertainty in counterparty performance and collections under its terms. Under the completed contract method, revenues and costs are included in operations when the contract is completed. Any losses expected are charged to operations in the period that such losses are probable.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares issuable upon exercise of common stock options or warrants. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The Company did not issue any new options for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, but recorded a compensation expense of $8,519 for options that vested during the period. During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued 6,713,215 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 3,357,107 shares of common stock in exchange for $134,264 pursuant to the terms of its Subscription Agreement with TGR Energy, LLC (see Notes 7 and 8). In addition, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to an unrelated third party, pursuant to the terms of an agreement assigned to the Company by TGR Energy, in exchange for $300,000 (see Note 9 – Subsequent Events).
At December 31, 2009, the Company had outstanding vested stock options to purchase 667,593 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 49,455,925 shares of common stock. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, these securities are excluded from the earnings per share calculation because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash deposits, short-term payables and related party payables. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of third-party financial instruments approximate fair value, due to their short-term maturities and the related party payables are interest bearing and payable on demand.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. No impairment losses were recorded during the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company had been in the development stage until the second quarter of 2008 and has had minimal revenues since Inception. Management recognizes that the Company must raise capital sufficient to fund business activities until such time as it can generate sufficient revenues and net cash flows in amounts necessary to enable it to continue in existence. These factors include our history of net losses and that minimal revenues have been earned to date.
The Company is dependent upon TGR Energy, LLC or Mike Zoi (as a result of his controlling interest in TGR and the Company’s dependence on the Subscription Agreement with TGR) to fund its operations. On August 7, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a Subscription Agreement dated August 7, 2008 (the “Subscription Agreement”) with TGR, wherein TGR committed to invest up to $2,000,000 in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $0.02 per share. In addition, the Company granted TGR warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock for $0.05 per share. These warrants may be exercised within five years from the date of grant. The shares and warrants are issuable under the Subscription Agreement upon the funding from time to time by TGR. The valuation date to determine the appropriate compensation charge is the last day of the quarter then ended. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, TGR will fund the Investment Amount as required in the Company’s operational budget. TGR’s obligation to fund the Investment Amount will be reduced by any future third party funding or investments in the Company on terms no less favorable than those contained in the Subscription Agreement. TGR remains obligated to invest up to $21,763 remaining under the Subscription Agreement. In January, the Company and TGR amended the Subscription Agreement to increase the Investment Amount to $4,000,000 (See Note 9 – Subsequent Events).
The Company’s independent auditors’ report on its financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009 contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that its current operating strategy, as described herein, provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern; however, there is no assurance this will occur.
NOTE 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s sole reportable business segment was the oil and gas service sector until the Company decided to unwind the joint venture effective March 31, 2010. The Company’s accounting policies for segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
NOTE 4. CONTRACT ACCOUNTING
The Company accounts for its long-term contracts using the completed contract method of revenue recognition due to uncertainties relating to its customer’s ability to finance contracts to completion. The completed contract method recognizes income only when the contract is substantially complete. Project costs and related revenues are accumulated and are reflected in operations only when an estimated loss is probable. The contract will be deemed complete when our customer agrees that each milestone contained in the contract has been met.
Billed contract receivables consist of amounts due under our second contract. Our initial contract has been suspended due to lack of financing by our customer. We have fully reserved for uncollected billings and for costs in excess of billings for this contract in the amount of $427,783. There are no revenues or costs charged to operations for the periods ended December 31, 2009 or December 31, 2008 under the completed contract method relating to our two contracts at December 31, 2009.
Our second drilling contract is a two-phase contract for an aggregate consideration of approximately $419,000. Phase one of this contract was completed during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 and we deferred $116,424 of revenues during the quarter until completion of the contract, which is expected on or before March 31, 2010. Our contractual and actual gross margin on this project is 15% and we deferred $98,960 in cost of sales for the first phase of this contract until completion of the contract. We incurred additional costs for this second contract of $182,512, which have been capitalized as costs in excess of billings on our balance sheet. The second phase of this contract was completed by March 31, 2010.
For more information, see Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition” above.
NOTE 5. JOINT VENTURES
On July 18, 2008, the Company executed an agreement to acquire a 75% controlling interest in TOT-SIBBNS, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Russian Federation. Pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, the owner (the “JV Partner”) of Sibburnefteservis, Ltd. of Novosibirsk, Russia (“SIBBNS”) contributed certain assets of SIBBNS to TOT SIBBNS in exchange for 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The assets were appraised at more than $6 million at the time of contribution and the Company is obligated to issue an additional 2,000,000 shares to the JV Partner when TOT SIBBNS achieves $10,000,000 in cumulative revenues. If on the third anniversary of the joint venture agreement, the Company’s stock price is not at least $1.00 per share, the Company will have the option of making an additional payment to the JV Partner or returning the Company’s interest in the joint venture to the JV Partner. The Company has determined to unwind this joint venture as of March 31, 2010 (See Note 9 – Subsequent Events).
The Company formed a joint venture, Korlea-TOT Energy s.r.o., in July 2008 with its Czech Republic partner Korlea Invest. The Company invested $56,000 to provide the 51% of share capital that the Company owns for this limited liability company in the Czech Republic. The Company financed this investment through a related party note with Kazo, LLC. Korlea-TOT Energy s.r.o. will engage in marketing and trading of oil and natural gas in Eastern Europe. The Company issued Alexander Kaplan 350,000 newly issued shares of Company stock for his assistance in completing this transaction.
NOTE 6. ACCRUED EXPENSES
Accrued expenses represent expenses that are owed at the end of the period and have not been billed by the provider or are estimates of services provided.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company is authorized to issue 800,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held. The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, which may be divided into series with the designations, powers, preferences, and relative rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions as determined by the Company’s board of directors.
Under an Exchange Agreement dated December 18, 2007, the Company agreed to issue 113,500,000 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company to TGR Energy, LLC, of which 8,500,000 shares were issued to Bzinfin, S.A., a British Virgin Islands limited corporation that is indirectly owned by an affiliate of the Ener1 Group, and 2,125,000 shares were issued to Alexander Malovik, a principal of Splinex, LLC, in exchange for the Bzinfin and Ener1 Group notes totaling $3,688,132. TGR Energy, LLC owned 98,157,334 shares of common stock of the Company as of December 17, 2007, and after the completion of the Exchange Agreement transactions owned an aggregate of 201,032,334 shares of common stock of the Company as of December 18, 2007. The Company had a total of 100,757,773 shares of common stock outstanding at December 17, 2007 and 214,507,773 shares of common stock outstanding at December 18, 2007.
On August 7, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a Subscription Agreement dated August 7, 2008 (the “ Subscription Agreement”) with TGR Energy, LLC (“TGR”), wherein TGR committed to invest up to $2,000,000 in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $0.02 per share. In addition, the Company granted TGR warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock for $0.05 per share. These warrants may be exercised within five years from the date of grant. The shares and warrants are issuable under the Subscription Agreement upon the funding from time to time by TGR. The valuation date to determine the appropriate compensation charge is the last day of the quarter then ended. The Subscription Agreement was amended on January 12, 2010 (See Note 9 – Subsequent Events) to increase the Investment Amount by an additional $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 in exchange for up to an additional 100,000,000 common shares and 50,000,000 warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock for $0.05 per share for a period of 5 years from date of issuance.
For the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded compensation expense of $0.10 per share or $8,519 and $25,464, respectively for options of Mr. New issued on August 13, 2008 that vested during the quarter and the nine month period ended December 31, 2009.
Up until May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was $140,000 with a $30,000 bonus payable quarterly for meeting agreed upon objectives. On May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was reduced from $140,000 to $91,000 and his bonus was reduced from $30,000 to $19,500 annually. To partially offset the reduction in salary, the Company provided Mr. New with 25,000 shares of fully vested common stock in lieu of his March 31, 2009 cash bonus and 200,000 shares of common stock which vest monthly from April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009. A compensation charge of $12,500 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and a compensation charge of $10,000 was recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, which reflects the market value per share ($0.10) on the first trading day after the date of grant.
Other employees (other than officers and directors) receiving salary reductions were granted a total of 50,000 shares of common stock vesting monthly between April 1, 2009 and September 30, 2009. The Company recorded a compensation charge of $2,347 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and a compensation expense of $1,042 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, to reflect the market value of stock provided in lieu of cash compensation. Both of these charges were calculated using the price per share of common stock ($0.10) on the first trading date after the date of grant.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company accrued an expense of $64,285 relating to stock expected to be issued in exchange for services to be provided by Olympus Securities. The Company is currently negotiating a revised contract for such services. Given the unstable equity markets last year, the Company and Olympus are working together to find a solution that provides value for both parties going forward. There were no charges for this agreement for the three months ended December 31, 2009.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable. A compensation charge of $8,812,774 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.

General
We are working to build a diversified portfolio of renewable energy assets. To this end, from time to time, we may be engaged in various discussions to acquire businesses or formulate joint venture or other arrangements with energy companies located around the world. Our policy is not to disclose discussions or potential transactions until definitive agreements have been executed. Where appropriate, acquisitions will be financed with equity shares and this may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.
On July 16, 2008, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Evgeny Bogorad (“Bogorad”), owner of Sibburnefteservis, Ltd. of Novosibirsk, Russia, an oil service company (“SIBBNS”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, Bogorad has contributed certain of SIBBNS assets and personnel to a joint venture company named TOT-SIBBNS, Ltd., a Russian corporation (“TOT-SIBBNS”). An independent appraisal company has appraised the contributed assets at $6,221,881.
At the closing on July 16, 2008, we issued to Bogorad 3,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for a 75% interest in TOT-SIBBNS. We are obligated to issue to Bogorad 2,000,000 additional shares of common stock upon TOT-SIBBNS obtaining $10,000,000 in gross revenue during the three-year period following the closing. If TOT-SIBBNS achieves this gross revenue target and Bogorad continues to hold the shares issued pursuant to the JV Agreement on the third anniversary of the closing and the stock price is less than $1.00 per share, then we, in our sole discretion, must either make an additional payment in cash or additional shares of stock to Bogorad in an amount equal to the difference in the value per share and $1.00 multiplied by the total number of shares held by Bogorad, or, if we decline to make such payment, Bogorad may require us to return our interest in TOT-SIBBNS in exchange for a payment to us of the fair market value of any assets acquired directly by TOT-SIBBNS (other than the assets initially contributed to the Joint Venture by Bogorad pursuant to the JV Agreement) and 75% of the retained earnings, accounts receivable and cash of TOT-SIBBNS. Bogorad will act as the manager of TOT-SIBBNS. We have the ability to appoint a majority of the Board of Directors of TOT-SIBBNS.
TOT-SIBBNS provides exploration services to oil exploration and production companies located in and around Novosibirsk, Russia. TOT-SIBBNS owns and operates four oil-drilling rigs that have generated the majority of the revenues of TOT-SIBBNS. TOT-SIBBNS uses this equipment for drilling exploratory wells for fees. In addition, TOT-SIBBNS provides engineering services and well remediation services on a contract fee basis.
On or about January 27, 2010, the Company determined to unwind the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture. The Company and TOT-SIBBNS executed an unwind agreement whereby the Company will exchange its 75% interest in TOT-SIBBNS for the 3,000,000 shares given to Evgeny Borograd. The unwind of the joint venture was consummated as of March 31, 2010. The unwind of the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture will be accounted for using the guidance provided in ASC 845 (previously APB 29). In this regard, the unwind will be accounted for as a disposal “other than by sale” similar to a spin-off, with the shares to be received reflected as treasury stock and recorded on the Company’s balance sheet at its carrying basis in the net assets of the joint venture as of March 31, 2010. For more information relating to the unwind of the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture, see Note 9 – Subsequent Events of the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements, which information is incorporated herein by reference. The Company intends to focus on developing or acquiring an alternative energy solar business concentrating on commercial solar installations.
Our second contract for drilling services was entered into in November 2009 for an aggregate of approximately $419,000 in billings over the two phases of the contract. The first phase was completed during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 and we received payments in December and January aggregating $116,424. Our contractual and actual gross margin on this project is 15% and we capitalized ($17,464) in gross margin for the first phase of this contract. Costs incurred for the second phase were $182,512, and these costs are capitalized as costs in excess of billings on our balance sheet. These costs represent activities and associated costs for the final phase of the second contract for which we expect to bill approximately $302,576 and achieve a gross margin of 15%. The second phase of this contract was completed by March 31, 2010.
KORLEA-TOT is our 51% joint venture with Korlea Invest Holding AG of Switzerland (“Korlea”) who is a provider and trader of energy assets in the Czech Republic. The new joint venture, Korlea-TOT, established as of July 17, 2008, is expected to assist in the marketing of oil assets sourced by other TOT-Energy companies and contacts. There has been no activity to date with this joint venture.
Short term financing is provided by TGR Energy, LLC (“TGR”) as we require additional working capital, pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated August 7, 2008 (the “Subscription Agreement”). TGR has agreed to provide up to $2,000,000 (the “Investment Amount”) in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, TGR will fund the Investment Amount as required in our operational budget. TGR’s obligation to fund the Investment Amount will be reduced by any future third party funding or investment on terms no less favorable than those contained in the Subscription Agreement. On January 12, 2010, TGR agreed to increase its funding commitment from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 in exchange for up to an additional 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share for a period of five years from date of issuance.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable. A compensation charge of $8,812,774 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, TGR was issued 4,077,700 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 2,038,850 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $81,554 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,264,087 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2009, TGR was issued 6,713,215 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 3,357,107 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $134,264 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $1,376,284 was recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.
The Company entered into a Sponsorship Agreement with American Speed Factory dated April 22, 2009, whereby the Company would receive certain promotional services and sponsorship rights to display the Company’s logo in connection with the 2009 Ferrari Challenge racing season in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company. This arrangement is valued at $50,000, which amount was recorded as an advertising expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Up until May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was $140,000 with a $30,000 bonus payable quarterly for meeting agreed upon objectives. On May 15, 2009, Mr. New’s base salary was reduced from $140,000 to 91,000 and his bonus was reduced from $30,000 to $19,500 annually. To partially offset the reduction in salary, the Company provided Mr. New with 25,000 shares of fully vested common stock in lieu of his March 31, 2009 cash bonus and 200,000 shares of common stock which vest monthly from April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009. A compensation charge of $12,500 was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and a compensation charge of $10,000 was recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, which reflects the market value per share ($0.10) on the first trading day after the date of grant.
Other employees (other than officers and directors) receiving salary reductions were granted a total of 50,000 shares of common stock vesting monthly between April 1, 2009 and September 30, 2009. The Company recorded a compensation expense of $2,347 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and a compensation expense of $1,042 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, to reflect the market value of stock provided in lieu of cash compensation. Both of these charges were calculated using the price per share of common stock ($0.10) on the first trading date after the date of grant.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company accrued an expense of $64,285 relating to stock expected to be issued in exchange for services to be provided by Olympus Securities. The Company is currently negotiating a revised contract for such services. Given the unstable equity markets over the last year, the Company and Olympus are working together to find a solution that provides value for both parties. There were no charges relating to this agreement for subsequent quarters.
Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 23, 2009, TGR agreed to sell to Dune Capital Group ("Dune") an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock of TOT Energy, Inc. held by TGR for a purchase price of $0.10 per share or an aggregate of $500,000. The purchase price is required to be paid on or before April 1, 2010. Dune paid $300,000 on November 23, 2009. In order to ensure compliance with obligations under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the issuance of shares to Dune by TGR, TGR assigned this Purchase Agreement to the Company. Accordingly, the Company received $300,000 pursuant to this agreement and issued an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to Dune on January 12, 2010.
Several factors raise significant doubt as to our ability to continue operating as a going concern. These factors include our history of net losses and that we have recently commenced operations and, until the second quarter of 2008, have earned minimal revenues, as well as the termination of TOT-SIBBNS first contract and the decision to unwind the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture. We are dependent upon TGR Energy, LLC or Mike Zoi (as a result of his controlling interest in TGR and the Company’s dependence on the Subscription Agreement with TGR) to fund our operations. Our independent auditors’ report on our financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009 contains an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently developing a downstream solar business that will provide complete solar solutions (design, installation, maintenance and finance) to commercial customers. This will be accomplished through acquisitions and hiring of key personnel. We expect to utilize existing commercial real estate industry relationships of our management to generate opportunities for solar installation proposals in the United States. Management believes that our current operating plans to develop a downstream solar business, provides the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern; however, there is no assurance this will occur.
Results of Operations for the Three-Month Periods Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
We reported a net loss of $1,764,551 or $(0.01) per share for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $6,328,588 or $(0.03) per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Weighted average shares outstanding were 312,156,555 and 223,758,378 for the quarters ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The net loss for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 was negatively impacted by the non-cash compensation expense of $1,376,284 related to shares and warrants issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement with TGR, which was substantially less that the non-cash compensation expense of $5,683,956 for the three months ended December 31, 2008.
TOT-SIBBNS accounts for projects using the completed contract method where all costs are capitalized on the balance sheet as project costs. Contract billings are recorded as a reduction to project costs and revenue will only be recognized once amounts collected exceed costs incurred. We reported $0 in revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and we had no revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Additionally, pursuant to the completed contract method, costs in excess of billings for our second oil drilling contract were $165,483. Project costs for our first contract were $124 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 and this amount was reserved for as uncollectible.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were $1,814,741 of which $200,662 was attributable to TOT-SIBBNS and $1,614,079 was attributable to TOT Energy (primarily relating to non-cash compensation expense). All general and administrative expenses relating to domestic operations were lower than reported in the comparable three month period ended December 31, 2008. Travel, rent and investor relations expenses were all lower in the quarter ended December 31, 2009 versus December 31, 2008 as the Company worked to reduce operating expenses. Salaries and benefits are also lower due to lower headcount and salary reductions. Professional fees were also lower due to reduced accounting and legal fees.
TOT - -SIBBNS general and administrative expenses were lower than the comparable quarter one year ago as a result of less activity relating to contract performance during the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The following table details the major expense items by category for the Company for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008:

During the three months ended December 31, 2009, we obtained funding of an aggregate of $134,264 under the Subscription Agreement with TGR and recognized a non-cash compensation expense of $1,376,284. This charge is the result of an intrinsic value calculation that measures the difference between fair value on date of issuance of the shares and the purchase price per share under the Subscription Agreement, which amounted to a compensation expense of $872,718. Additionally, the warrants to purchase 3,357,107 shares of common stock issued in connection with these fundings resulted in a corresponding compensation expense of $503,566 based on a Black-Scholes valuation model.
The non-controlling interest relating to the TOT-SIBBNS and Korlea-TOT joint ventures were $45,800 and $25, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared with $61,076 and $0, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2008. The joint venture non-controlling interest reflects the joint venture partner’s ownership of each joint venture.
Results of Operations for the Nine-Month Periods Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
We reported a net loss of $6,164,324 or $(0.02) per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $8,792,136 or $(0.04) per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. Weighted average shares outstanding were 306,108,759 and 218,501,521 for the quarters ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, we obtained funding of an aggregate of $323,730 under the Subscription Agreement with TGR and recognized a non-cash compensation expense of $4,717,677. This charge is the result of an intrinsic value calculation that measures the difference between fair value on date of issuance of the shares and the purchase price per share under the Subscription Agreement, which amounted to a compensation expense of $3,037,158. Additionally, the warrants to purchase 8,093,757 shares of common stock issued in connection with these fundings resulted in a corresponding compensation expense of $1,680,519 based on a Black-Scholes valuation model.
TOT-SIBBNS general and administrative expenses were $864,134 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared with $347,202 reported for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. We formed the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture on July 16, 2008 and therefore the 2008 period presented includes 165 days of expenses while the 2009 period has the full fiscal year (270 days) beginning April 1, 2009. In addition, costs for the second quarter ended September 30, 2009 were $222,713 higher than the comparable quarter ended September 30, 2008 due to increased business activities and 15 less business days of expenses, which negatively impacted the year to date general and administrative expenses for the period ended December 31, 2009.
The following table summarizes general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Compensation expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was favorable as compared to the same period last year primarily due to the funding differences under the Subscription Agreement. At December 31, 2009, funding under the Subscription Agreement totaled $323,730 as compared with $1,440,562 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2008.
Investor relations expense increased year on year due to a non-cash charge of $64,285 relating to services expected from Olympus Securities.
Salaries and benefits were decreased for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2008 due to headcount reductions and reductions in salaries of remaining staff. This decrease was substantially offset by a non-cash charge of $75,889 relating to compensation expense in lieu of salary. This amount represents the value of stock provided to employees to partially offset salary reductions.
Travel expenses decreased during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared with December 31, 2008. Travel has been reduced and Mike Zoi has not been charging the Company for some of his travel expenses.
Rent expense is decreased for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2008. This decrease is due to moving to less expensive office space.
Professional fees also decreased for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2008. Professional fees in 2008 included transaction costs for the TOT-SIBBNS joint venture that did not recur in 2009. In addition, our accounting and legal fees have been reduced as we manage such costs more efficiently.
Liquidity and capital resources
At December 31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $22,880,191 and cash of $453,334. We are dependent upon receiving funds from our controlling stockholder, TGR Energy, LLC, which is controlled by our president, Mike Zoi. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, TGR is obligated to invest up to $2,000,000 to fund short term working capital requirements in exchange for up to 100,000,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.05. The shares and warrants will be issued quarterly and we will record an appropriate compensation expense as necessary based on the fair value of the securities on the last day of each fiscal quarter (the date of issuance). At December 31, 2009, the remaining investment obligation was $21,763. On January 12, 2010, TGR agreed to increase its funding commitment under the Subscription Agreement from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 in exchange for up to an additional 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase up to 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share for a period of five years from date of issuance.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, TGR was issued an aggregate of 82,725,335 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 41,362,168 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. These issuances were in exchange for financings under the Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $1,654,507 of which $1,017,097 was cash and $637,410 related to refinancing of previously outstanding notes payable. A compensation charge of $8,812,774 was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. This amount is calculated as the difference between the market price of our common stock at the end of each quarter in which shares were issued and the subscription price of the common shares ($0.02) multiplied by the number of shares issued, plus the Black-Scholes valuation of the warrants issued as calculated at the end of each quarter.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, TGR was issued 16,186,515 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 8,093,757 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $323,730 provided during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 under the terms of the Subscription Agreement. A compensation charge of $4,717,677 was recorded for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as an officer of the Company is also a principal of TGR and the securities issued were below market value as of the issue date.
Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 23, 2009, TGR agreed to sell to Dune Capital Group ("Dune") an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock of TOT Energy, Inc. held by TGR for a purchase price of $0.10 per share or an aggregate of $500,000. The purchase price is required to be paid on or before April 1, 2010. Dune paid $300,000 on November 23, 2009. In order to ensure compliance with obligations under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the issuance of shares to Dune by TGR, TGR assigned this Purchase Agreement to the Company. Accordingly, the Company received $300,000 pursuant to this agreement and issued an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to Dune on January 12, 2010.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
At December 31, 2009, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.” SFAS No. 168 sets forth the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP. The Codification became effective on July 1, 2009 and is the official source of authoritative, nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), EITF, and related literature. After the Codification became effective on July 1, 2009, only one level of authoritative U.S. GAAP exists, other than guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. All other accounting literature excluded from the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and was first adopted by the Company for the three month period ended September 30, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855, “Subsequent Events” (formerly SFAS No. 165), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Adoption of this Statement did not result in a change in current practice.
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (formerly SFAS 157) effective April 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities and any other assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (see “NOTE 10 — Fair Value Measurement”). The adoption of this statement on April 1, 2008, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’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 appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure . In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of December 31, 2009, we continue to develop our core activities and focus our resources on the acquisition of assets in the energy sector. Our disclosure controls and procedures are currently not effective because there are a limited number of personnel employed and we cannot have an adequate segregation of duties, and due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K previously filed with the SEC. Accordingly, management cannot provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective.. Management works to mitigate these risks by being personally involved in all substantive transactions and attempts to obtain verification of transactions and accounting policies and treatments involving our overseas operations. We are in the process of reviewing and, where necessary, modifying controls and procedures throughout the Company as resources permit. We expect this process to continue through the fiscal year 2011.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, there were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal proceedings
We are not currently a party to any such proceedings the outcome of which would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
For the quarter ended December 31, 2009, TGR was issued 6,713,215 shares of common stock of the Company and fully vested warrants to purchase 3,357,107 shares of common stock of the Company for $0.05 per share in exchange for funding of $134,264 provided during the quarter under the terms of the Subscription Agreement.
Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 23, 2009, TGR agreed to sell to Dune Capital Group ("Dune") an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock of TOT Energy, Inc. held by TGR for a purchase price of $0.10 per share or an aggregate of $500,000. The purchase price is required to be paid on or before April 1, 2010. Dune paid $300,000 on November 23, 2009. In order to ensure compliance with obligations under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the issuance of shares to Dune by TGR, TGR assigned this Purchase Agreement to the Company. Accordingly, the Company received $300,000 pursuant to this agreement and issued an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to Dune on January 12, 2010.
We believe that each of the foregoing securities transactions were exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
