Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
For the Period Ended March 31, 2009
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods reported. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. JayHawk Energy, Inc. (the "Company") reports on operations using a fiscal year end of September 30. This report on Form 10-Q is for the second quarter of the fiscal year to end September 30, 2009, the quarter ending March 31, 2009. These consolidated financial statements, including notes, have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2008 as filed with the SEC. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for any future interim period or for the full year.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Going Concern - To date the Company has incurred operating losses. As of March 31, 2009 we have limited financial resources with which to achieve our objectives and obtain profitability and positive cash flows. This will be dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing , to locate profitable mineral properties and generate revenue from our current and planned business operations, and control costs. We plan to fund our future operations by joint venturing, obtaining additional financing from investors, and attaining additional commercial production. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve these objectives.
Basis of Consolidation – These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, JayHawk Gas Transportation Company, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Joint Venture Operations – In instances where the Company’s oil and gas activities are conducted jointly with others, the Company’s accounts reflect only its proportionate interest in such activities.
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods. Included in these estimates are assumptions about allowances for valuation of deferred tax assets, allowances for doubtful accounts, provisions for asset retirement obligations, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, as well as management’s impairment assessment on its oil and gas properties. By their very nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in these estimates, in future periods, could be significant. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known.
Loss per common share - Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share assumes exercise of stock options and warrants and conversion of convertible debt and preferred securities, and preferred securities, provided the effect is not antidilutive. As each of the two fiscal periods covered by these financial statements reflect net losses from operations, all of our warrants have an anti-dilutive effect on per common share amounts.
Revenue Recognition - Revenues are recognized based on the actual volumes of gas and oil sold to purchasers. The volume sold may differ from the volumes we are entitled to, based on our individual interest in the property. Revenues reflected in these financial statements are the Company's net working interest after deduction of amounts attributable to other working and royalty interest owners. See note above, "Joint Venture Operations" and subsequent Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
For the Period Ended March 31, 2009
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounts Receivable – When volumes of crude oil or gas are delivered to the purchaser we record a receivable based on the volumes delivered and field prices on the particular day of delivery. Subsequently these amounts may be adjusted for various technical factors affecting volumes such as temperature, pressure and content of basic sediment and water. When it becomes evident that amounts receivable become uncollectible we establish a valuation allowance and record a provision for bad debts in our statement of operations. Our sales of crude oil and natural gas are delivered into a market with a very concentrated group of purchasers. As more specifically detailed in Note 3, the former purchaser of our crude filed for bankruptcy protection in July 2008.
Property, plant and equipment - The Company uses the successful-efforts method of accounting for oil and gas property as defined under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 19, Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies (“FAS 19”). Under this method of accounting, costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and natural gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development wells, are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed.
We provide depletion of the capitalized cost of proved oil and gas property on a field-by-field basis using the units-of-production method, based upon estimated proved reserves. Support equipment and other property, plant and equipment related to oil and gas production are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which range from 5 to 35 years. Property, plant and equipment unrelated to oil and gas producing activities is recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 25 years.
In computing depreciation, depletion, and amortization (DD&A) we take into consideration restoration, dismantlement and abandonment cost and the anticipated proceeds from equipment salvage. When applicable, we apply the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which provides guidance on accounting for dismantlement and abandonment cost. Also, specifically see Note 6, Asset Retirement Obligation.
We review our long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred in accordance with SFAS 144. In the impairment test we compare the expected undiscounted future net revenue on a field-by-field basis with the related net capitalized cost at the end of each period. Should the net capitalized cost exceed the undiscounted future net revenue of a property, we will write down the cost of the property to fair value, which we will determine using discounted future net revenue. We will provide an impairment allowance on a property-by-property basis when we determine that the unproved property will not be developed. Also, specifically see Note 4, Unproved Properties and Impairment.
Share Based Payments – Periodically we compensate specific vendors of goods and services with shares of our common stock. The fair value of the common shares issued for goods or services rendered by non-employees is measured based on the fair value of the goods or services received.
Income Taxes - Income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Note 3 - Trade Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable represents those amounts the Company is owed for its' oil and gas production delivered during the months of June and July of 2008, and March of 2009, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Also included in the aggregate is an amount receivable from other working interests billed for their percentages of joint operating costs. Specifically, it is detailed as follows at March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008:
| | March 31, 2009 | | | September 30, 2008 | |
Due for crude oil delivered in June & July - SemCrude | | $ | 283,485 | | | $ | 283,486 | |
Less: Allowance for doubtful collections | | | ( 95,810 | ) | | | (95,810 | ) |
Due for crude oil delivered | | | 80,047 | | | | 181,340 | |
Due for natural gas delivered | | | 7,725 | | | | 19,356 | |
Due from joint operating agreement working interests | | | 6,035 | | | | 25,490 | |
| | $ | 281,482 | | | $ | 413,862 | |
The previous purchaser of our North Dakota crude oil, SemCrude, took delivery of the Company'sJune and July production and before compensating the Company filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. Management believes that the Company will receive all the proceeds for the July sales but has established an allowance for 80% of the value of the June deliveries, equivalent to $95,810, charging bad debt expense for an equal amount. Amounts receivable at March 31, 2009, for oil and natural gas deliveries were received in April 2009.
Note 4 – Unproved Properties and Impairment
The Company's total investment in unproved properties consists of the capitalized costs of property acquisitions made during the prior two fiscal years. At March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008, net Unproved Properties was the aggregate of the following:
Description | | March 31, 2009 | | | September 30, 2008 | |
Land acquisition and retention | | $ | 4,145,605 | | | $ | 4,144,445 | |
Less: Accumulated amortization | | | (259,992 | ) | | | (114,535 | ) |
Less: Allowance for impairment in value | | | (1,474,000 | ) | | | (1,474,000 | ) |
Total Net Investment in Unproved Properties | | $ | 2,411,613 | | | $ | 2,555,910 | |
Impairment of Uniontown Project: In addition to amortizing the capitalized lease costs, the Company periodically reviews and assesses its' unproved properties to determine whether or not they have been impaired. A property is considered impaired if it will not or cannot be developed. At that time an allowance is established to revalue the capitalized cost and a provision of equal amount is provided as an operating expense. Management made a review of the portfolio of leases acquired in the Uniontown transaction of July 2007 and decided based on geology and proximity to our pipeline, to permit approximately one-third of the original leases acquired to expire without renewal. The Company's inability at September 30, 2008 to fund development of any acreage, justified the creation of an impairment valuation. The management has estimated the allowance at two-thirds, 67 percent, of the original investment equaling $1,474,000.

Note 6 - Asset Retirement Obligation
In the period in which an asset retirement obligation is incurred or becomes reasonably estimable, the Company recognizes the fair value of the liability if there is a legal obligation to dismantle the asset and reclaim or remediate the property at the end of its useful life. The Company has identified potential asset retirement obligations at the Girard, Kansas and Candak, North Dakota operating sites. These retirement obligations are determined based on the estimated cost to comply with abandonment regulations established by the Kansas Corporation Commission and the State of North Dakota. The Company's engineers have estimated the cost, in today's dollars, to comply with these regulations. These estimates were projected out to the anticipated retirement date 15 years from when placed in service, at an assumed annual inflation rate of 1.5 percent. The anticipated future cost of remediation efforts in North Dakota and Kansas are $204,685 and $281,547, respectively. These amounts were discounted back at an assumed interest rate of 10 percent, to arrive at a net present value of the obligation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and supplemental information presented in our Annual Report for the period ending September 30, 2008, on Form 10-KSB. Certain sections of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include forward-looking statements concerning trends or events potentially affecting our business. These statements typically contain words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "plans," "probable," "should," "could," "would," or similar words indicating that future outcomes are uncertain. In accordance with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, these statements are accompanied by cautionary language identifying important factors, though not all such factors, which could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. For additional risk factors affecting our business see "Risks Related to Our Business," under Item 1. Description of Business in our Annual Report for the period ending September 30, 2008, filed on Form 10-KSB.
JayHawk Energy, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary JayHawk Gas Transportation Corporation, (herein referred to as the Company, JayHawk, we and our) is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, production and sale of natural gas, crude oil and natural gas liquids primarily from conventional reservoirs within North America. The Company incorporated in April 2004 as Bella Trading Company, Inc. and changed management and entered the oil and gas business in June of 2007. At that time we changed our name to JayHawk Energy Inc. Since then, we have devoted our efforts principally to the raising of capital, organizational infrastructure development, the acquisition of oil and gas properties for the purpose of future extraction of resources, and production of oil and natural gas. To date, we have acquired three main properties, the Uniontown in Kansas, the Candak in North Dakota, and Girard in Kansas. We did not begin producing and selling oil until the second quarter of the previous fiscal year, the quarter ending March 31, 2008; nor did we produce and sell any natural gas until the third quarter ending June 30, 2008.
On January 16, 2008, JayHawk purchased the Candak properties from JED Oil (USA) Inc. a 65% working interest in 5 producing oil wells located in the Williston Basin of North Dakota, along with the right to develop the oil, gas and mineral resources on 15,500 acres of leases in this same area. In consideration for these properties JayHawk paid JED Oil $3.5 million in cash. Because of the significance of this acquisition, Securities and Exchange rules and regulations define operations of these five wells (the Candak properties) to be "predecessor operations and an acquired business". As such, the Securities and Exchange Commission, through Article 8-04 of Regulation S-X, requires a complete set of audited financial statements of the acquired business operations to be provided for at least the two most recent fiscal years.
As a consequence of the previous operator being in bankruptcy proceedings and having limited staff, sufficient evidential material was unavailable to our external auditors to prepare complete financial statements reflecting the carved out operations of the five wells. These would be required for the period from October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007 and from October 1, 2007 through January 16, 2008, the date of the acquisition. We did not have any previous relationship with the prior operator and there were no ongoing arrangements with the prior operator. Failure to provide this information will preclude the Company from completing a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to having sufficient historical financial information on these operations for a two year period. This condition should be met with the completion of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009.
Results of Operations
Revenues - derived from oil sales delivered from our Candak, North Dakota properties are reported at our net working interest. For the three month and six month periods ending March 31, 2009, net revenues before production and severance taxes, were $61,599 and $184,932, respectively. These net revenues compare to $258,557 for both the same periods end in 2008. As previously discussed, these operations did not begin until January of 2008. The unfavorable apparent decline in revenues is primarily attributable to declines in prices received for our crude oil. Prices received during the quarter ending March 31, 2008 averaged $81.61 per barrel whereas during this quarter ending March 31, 2009 prices received averaged only $34.77. This represents a 57 percent decline from the comparable period in 2008. Additionally, all five wells where shut-in and did not produce during the month of January 2009, due to constraints of weather conditions.
Revenues derived from the sale of gas produced and delivered from our Girard, Kansas properties for the three and six months ending March 31, 2009 were $29,213 and $62,913, respectively. There were no gas sales during the comparable periods of 2008 as there was no production until the quarter ending June 30, 2008. Gas prices paid for our Girard, Kansas production have continued to be volatile, fluctuating from a high of $4.67 received in January to a low of $2.48 per mcf received in March 2009. Our revenues, operating results and ability to grow in the future are highly dependent on the prices we receive for our oil and natural gas.
Operating Expenses - include direct production expenses such as field labor, fuel, power, well repair and maintenance, saltwater disposal and severance taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization and corporate general and administrative expenses and other income and expense. There was no production from the Girard, Kansas properties during the comparable 2008 periods and all direct production expense is associated with the Candak, North Dakota properties. The following two tables segregate these expenses by producing properties and the corporate office for three months and six months, respectively:

Cash Flows, Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2009, our current assets totaled $309,041, consisting of cash, $20,930, accounts receivable, $281,482, and prepaid expenses $6,629. At the same time, our current liabilities were $1,207,544. Our main sources of liquidity are cash and internally generated cash flow from the sale of crude oil and natural gas. As of March 31, 2009, we have limited financial resources with which to achieve our objectives, and obtain profitability and positive cash flows.
The net change in cash and cash equivalents is the sum of cash used by operating activities and in investing activities, and that provided by financing activities for a net total decrease in cash of $61,753 for the six months ending March 31, 2009. This decreased our cash balance from $82,683 existing at September 30, 2008 to the cash balance at March 31, 2009 of $20,930.
Net cash used by operating activities totaled $230,780 for the six months ending March 31, 2009, compared to $279,105 used in operating activities for the three month period ending March 31, 2008.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $30,973 in the six months ending March 31, 2009 as compared to $4,864,431 in the same period ending March 31, 2008.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ending March 31, 2009 was $200,000 (see Note 7, of Notes to Financial Statements). For the six month period ending March 31, 2008, $4,900,000 was provided by financing activities.
As clearly demonstrated in this current quarter ending March 31, 2009, our revenue and operating cash flows, are highly dependent on the prices we receive for crude oil and natural gas. A substantial and continued decline in these prices will further reduce our operating results and cash flows, and will impact our rate of growth and the carrying values of our assets. For the immediate future we plan to reduce our operating expenses, consolidate our properties, and fund our future operations by joint venturing, obtaining additional financing from investors, and attaining additional commercial production. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve these objectives.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
