PART 1
Organizational
We were originally formed on October 10, 2005 as Hola Communications, Inc. in the State of Nevada. We were formed to provide wireless broadband access in Northern Mexico and Southwestern California. In October 2007, we redirected our business focus to the oil and gas industry. In November 2007, the Company created a wholly owned Nevada subsidiary for the purpose of affecting a name change from Hola Communications, Inc. to TAMM Oil and Gas Corp.
Business Overview
Our corporate headquarters are located in Calgary, Canada.
We are an exploration stage company that has not yet commenced significant operations in the heavy oil exploration business. Our activities have been limited to organizational matters and:
| · | Acquiring oil sands leases; |
| · | Developing our business plan; and |
| · | Raising capital to conduct our operations. |
Our heavy oil exploration activities will be conducted on properties located in Alberta Canada. We have acquired a 100% interest in 24 sections of Oil Sands leases with 15 year terms
None of our properties are currently in the production stage.
For the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and from October 10, 2005 (date of inception) through March 31, 2013, we reported net losses of $10,961,229, $388,592 and $81,556,497 respectively.
Description of Business
Principal Product.
We intend to produce only a single product, heavy oil, which we intend to extract from the above properties depending upon our exploration test results and activities. Any additional Petroleum and Natural Gas production that may be found will be an added byproduct. To date, we have not engaged in any production activities.
Distribution Methods.
Should we be successful in producing oil, it will be sold to other companies with downstream processing capabilities.
Status of Publicly Announced Products or Services.
We have not announced any products or services. Since our business is limited to conducting exploration activities, we do not anticipate any such development.
Competitive business conditions.
We compete with oil and natural gas companies and other individual producers and operators, many of which have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. Additionally, many of our competitors have the following competitive advantages: (a) recruitment of qualified personnel; (b) absorbing changes in laws and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we do business and ability to handle longer periods of reduced prices of gas and oil more easily than we can; and (c) paying more for productive oil and natural gas properties and being able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than we can. Our ability to compete will be contingent upon our ability to acquire additional properties in the future, conduct efficient operations, evaluate and select suitable properties, and implement advanced technologies and consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials.
We do not use significant quantities of raw materials in our operations at this time.
Dependence on one or a few major customers.
We do not anticipate becoming dependent upon one or a few customers since there are several companies that conduct business in downstream heavy oil processing – however typically once production starts, it is sold to one marketing company for resale.
Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises and concessions.
We have no patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises or concessions.
Research and Development Expenditures.
We have spent no funds on research and development activities nor do we anticipate any such future expenditure in the next 2-5 years – should an enhanced recovery project be identified, a certain amount of the capital will be assigned to research at the early stages of such a project to identify the most economic technical model.
Need for governmental approval.
Development and production, and sale of oil and natural gas in Canada are subject to complex laws and regulations, which require government approval, and can adversely affect the cost, manner, or feasibility of doing business. We may be required to make significant expenditures to comply with environmental and other governmental regulations, including the following matters that are subject to regulation:
| · | location and density of wells; |
| · | surface access; |
| · | drilling approvals; |
| · | wildlife approvals; |
| · | native and trapper approvals; |
| · | handling of drilling fluids and obtaining discharge permits for drilling operations; |
| · | bonds for ownership, development and production of natural gas and oil properties; |
| · | transportation of natural gas and oil by pipelines; |
| · | operation of wells and reports concerning operations; and |
| · | taxation |
Effect of existing or probable governmental regulations.
We are subject to existing and revisions to governmental regulations, including accounting for and payment of royalties on production from Provincial, Federal and Native lands. We are also subject to Provincial and Federal environmental, health, safety and transportation, and employer regulations.
Effect of compliance with federal, state, and local provisions for the protection of the environment.
We are subject to extensive environmental regulations. If we experience any leakage of crude oil and/or gas from the subsurface portions of a well, our gathering system could cause degradation of fresh groundwater resources, as well as surface damage, potentially resulting in suspension of operation of a well, fines and penalties from governmental agencies, expenditures for remediation of the affected resource, and liabilities to third parties for property damages and personal injuries. In addition, any sale of crude oil or gas collected as part of the drilling and recovery process could impose liability in accordance with applicable environmental health, transportation, and safety laws.
Employees.
We hire geologists, geophysicists, accountants; land management, legal and general management advisory personnel on a contract consulting basis. There are not permanent or part time employees.
Reports to Security Holders and Available Information
Our principal executive offices are located at Hochwachstrass 4 Steinhausen 6312 ch. Our telephone number is (403) 680-9441. Our annual, quarterly, and current reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), copies of which are available on our website at www.tammoilandgas.com or from the SEC free of charge at www.sec.gov . The public may also read and copy any materials, which we have filed with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street N.E., Washington, DC 20549. Information on the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling: 1-800-SEC-0330.
The following risks and uncertainties, along with other information contained in this Form 10-K, should be carefully considered by anyone considering an investment in our securities. The occurrence of any of the following risks could negatively affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our financial condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
During the period from our inception of October 10, 2005 to our year end at March 31, 2013, we have an accumulated deficit of $81,556,497. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion indicating that our significant operating losses, working capital deficit and inability to generate any revenues, cause substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and that there is uncertainty as to whether we have the capability to continue our operations without additional funding. Accordingly, we anticipate that we will need additional funding during the next 12 months, which we plan to seek through public or private equity financing, bank debt financing, or from other sources; however, adequate funds may not be available when needed, and even if we raise additional funds through sales of our equity securities, existing stockholder interests will be diluted.
We lack an operating history in our current business plan, which makes it difficult to evaluate whether we will be able to continue our operations or ever be profitable.
In October 2007, we began our current business plan of conducting exploration for heavy oil. Our short operating history has consisted of preliminary acquisition and exploration activities and non-income-producing activities. Accordingly, we have no adequate operating history to evaluate our future success or failure.
Because we are an exploration stage company, we currently have no significant operations, and our future operations are subject to substantial risks, we may be unsuccessful in conducting our operations.
We are an early stage oil exploration company and have not commenced oil production. We will be unable to generate revenues or make profits, unless we actually commence significant production.
We are subject to substantial regulation of our business, including requirements to obtain numerous licenses and permits in the operation of our business; if we are denied needed government licenses and permits or otherwise fail to comply with federal and state requirements, we may be subject to increased compliance costs and fines or penalties.
Exploration and Production
Our operations are subject to various types of regulation at federal, state, provincial, territorial and local levels. These types of regulations may include requiring permits for the drilling of wells, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations. Most provinces, states, territories and some municipalities in which we operate also regulate one or more of the following:
| · | the location of wells; |
| · | the method of drilling and casing wells; |
| · | the surface use and restoration of properties upon which wells are drilled; |
| · | the plugging and abandoning of wells; and |
| · | notice to surface owners and other third parties. |
Our future exploration activities will require licenses, permits, or compliance with other state and federal requirements, including:
| · | Acquiring permits before commencing drilling; |
| · | Restricting substances that can be released into the environment with drilling and production activities; |
| · | Limiting or prohibiting drilling activities on protected areas such as wetlands or wilderness areas; |
| · | Requiring that reclamation measures be taken to prevent pollution from former operations; |
| · | Requiring remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former operations, such as plugging abandoned wells and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater; and |
| · | Requiring remedial measures to be taken with respect to property designated as a contaminated site. |
Additionally, we could be liable for personal injury, clean-up costs and other environmental and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Although we maintain limited insurance coverage for sudden and accidental environmental damages as well as environmental damage that occurs over time, we have not obtained coverage for the full potential liability of environmental damages since we do not believe that we can obtain insurance coverage for the full potential liability of environmental damages is available at a reasonable cost. Accordingly, we could be liable, or could be required to cease production on properties, if environmental damage occurs. Delays or failures to acquire required licenses or permits or successfully comply with the pertinent federal and state regulations will negatively impact our operations.
Although the regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases our cost of doing business and, consequently, affects our profitability, these burdens generally do not affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than they affect other companies in the industry with similar types, quantities and locations of production.
The successful implementation of our plan of operations is subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas business.
Our oil and gas operations are subject to the economic risks associated with exploration, development and production activities, including substantial expenditures to locate and acquire properties and to drill exploratory wells. Additionally, the cost and timing of drilling, completing and operating wells may be uncertain. The presence of unanticipated pressure or irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploration, development and production activities to be delayed or unsuccessful, and may result in the total loss of our investment in a particular property. The technology required to economically produce this prospect is not well developed at this time, and thus additional time, costs may be incurred to fully develop the technology to an economic stage.
Trends and Uncertainties
Our ability to produce sufficient quantities of oil and gas from our properties may be adversely affected by factors outside of our control.
We are an early stage oil exploration company and have not commenced significant oil production. We will be unable to generate revenues or make profits, unless we actually commence significant oil production. Drilling, exploring and producing oil and gas involves various substantial risks beyond our control, including:
| · | unproductive wells; |
| · | productive wells that are unable to produce oil or gas in economically feasible quantities; |
| · | hazards, such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, pressures, fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids or other conditions that may substantially delay or prevent completion of any well; |
| · | adverse weather conditions hindering drilling operations; |
| · | a productive well becoming uneconomic due to pressure depletion, water encroachment, mechanical difficulties, or other factors, which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well; |
| · | operations being adversely affected by the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment; |
| · | market fluctuations of taxes, royalties, land tenure; and |
| · | allowable production and environmental protection. |
Government and Environmental Regulation
Our business is governed by numerous laws and regulations at various levels of government. These laws and regulations govern the operation and maintenance of our facilities, the discharge of materials into the environment and other environmental protection issues. The laws and regulations may, among other potential consequences, require that we acquire permits before commencing drilling, restrict the substances that can be released into the environment with drilling and production activities, limit or prohibit drilling activities on protected areas such as wetlands or wilderness areas, require that reclamation measures be taken to prevent pollution from former operations, require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former operations, such as plugging abandoned wells and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater, and require remedial measures to be taken with respect to property designated as a contaminated site.
Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injury, clean-up costs and other environmental and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties. We maintain limited insurance coverage for sudden and accidental environmental damages as well as environmental damage that occurs over time. However, we do not believe that insurance coverage for the full potential liability of environmental damages is available at a reasonable cost. Accordingly, we could be liable, or could be required to cease production on properties, if environmental damage occurs.
The costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations could occur that may result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
We rely upon third parties in our business which could adversely affect our business.
We rely upon third parties, including: (a) those that assist us in identifying desirable oil and gas prospects to acquire and to provide us with technical assistance and services; (b) the services of geologists, geophysicists, chemists, engineers and other scientists to explore and analyze oil prospects to determine a method in which the oil prospects may be developed in a cost-effective manner; and (c) owners and operators of oil drilling equipment to drill and develop our prospects to production. Although we have developed relationships with a number of third-party service providers, we cannot assure that we will be able to continue to rely on such persons. If any of these relationships with third-party service providers are terminated or are unavailable on commercially acceptable terms, we may be unable to execute our operational plan.
Market fluctuations in the prices of oil & gas could adversely affect our business.
Prices for oil and natural gas tend to fluctuate significantly in response to factors beyond our control, including:
| · | actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its production constraints; |
| · | United States and global economic environment; |
| · | weather conditions; |
| · | availability of alternate fuel sources; |
| · | transportation interruption; |
| · | the impact of drilling levels on crude oil and natural gas supply; and |
| · | the environmental and access issues that could limit future drilling activities industry wide. |
Additionally, changes in commodity prices affect our capital resources, liquidity and expected operating results. Price changes directly affect revenues and can indirectly impact expected production by changing the amount of funds available to reinvest in exploration and development activities. Reductions in oil and gas prices not only reduce revenues and profits, but could also reduce the quantities of reserves that are commercially recoverable. Significant declines in prices could result in charges to earnings due to impairment. Changes in commodity prices may also significantly affect our ability to estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and divestiture, and often cause disruption in the market for oil producing properties, as buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on the value of the properties. Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions, development and exploitation of projects. We expect that commodity prices will continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.
Oil and Natural Gas Properties
We believe that we have satisfactory title to our producing properties in accordance with standards generally accepted in the oil and natural gas industry and specific to the jurisdiction that the properties reside.
Although title to these properties is subject to encumbrances, in some cases, such as customary interests generally retained in connection with the acquisition of real property, customary royalty interests and contract terms and restrictions, liens under operating agreements, liens related to environmental liabilities associated with historical operations, liens for current taxes and other burdens, easements, restrictions and minor encumbrances customary in the oil and natural gas industry; we believe that none of these liens, restrictions, easements, burdens and encumbrances will materially detract from the value of these properties or from our interest in these properties or will materially interfere with our use in the operation of our business. In some cases, lands over which leases have been obtained may be subject to prior liens that have not been subordinated to the leases. In addition, we believe we have obtained sufficient rights-of-way grants and permits from public authorities and private parties for us to operate our business in all material respects.
Our President devotes less than full time to our business, which may negatively impact our operations.
William Tighe, our Chief Executive Officer, devotes only 2 hours per week to our business. Because our President may be unable to devote the time necessary to our business, we may be unsuccessful in implementing our operational plan.
The services of our President, Chairman of the Board and other Board Members are essential to the success of our business; the loss of any of these personnel will adversely affect our business.
Our business depends upon the continued involvement of our Chairman of the Board, and other board members who collectively have oil related experience of at least 30 years. The loss, individually or cumulatively, of these personnel would adversely affect our business, prospects, and our ability to successfully conduct our exploration activities. Before you decide whether to invest in our common stock, you should carefully consider that the loss of their expertise, may negatively impact your investment in our common stock.

Oil Sands Leases
Our leases are situated near Manning in the Peace River area of Northern Alberta, Canada, as follows:
| · | We have a 100% interest in 24 sections of Oil Sands leases, amounting to approximately 14,780 gross and net acres. Oil Sands leases have a 15 year term for exploration. Our Oil Sands leases expire in 2023. |
The majority of lands associated with our Oil Sands leases are situated in the Peace River Oil Sands area of northwestern Alberta. If economic production is proven on our lease parcels, we will automatically be given the right to extend the leases as they expire.
During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company management performed an evaluation of its unproved properties for purposes of determining the implied fair value of the assets at March 31, 2012. The test indicated that the recorded remaining book value of its royalty agreement exceeded its fair value for the year ended March 31, 2012. As a result, upon completion of the assessment, management recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $372,721, net of tax, or $0.0 per share during the year ended March 31, 2012 to reduce the carrying value of 14 sections of Peace River leases to $-0-. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from management’s estimates.
Sawn Lake
The Company had a royalty agreement applicable to 32 sections of oil sands leases. The subject royalties are 2% of gross revenue prior to any expenses from oil sand production.
On or about June 30, 2012, the Company exchanged this agreement for the outstanding debt owed to Asperago Holdings SA and recorded a loss on settlement of debt of $612,514. The Company no longer has any interests in the Sawn Lake area.
Alberta Crown
On September 24, 2009, the Company acquired a 100% working interest in 1,280 acres of oil sands leases with a 2% gross overriding royalty retained by the seller in exchange for 2,428,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The value of these rights is recorded at $1,626,760. In addition, the Company acquired 100% working interest in 6,400 acres of petroleum and natural gas leases with a 2% gross overriding royalty retained by the seller in exchange for 14,572,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These rights were recorded at $9,763,240.
On May 31, 2012 the Company entered binding letter of intent as combination of Oil sands leases in the Manning area consisting of 23 sections of Oil sand leases with CEC North Star Energy Ltd. The remaining 10 sections of P&NG leases part of the farm in with CEC North Star Energy Ltd. Tamm will transfer in escrow the tittle and leases to the Manning area properties it holds and the escrow forms part of the put and call agreement issued to Tamm by North Star and will be concluded within one year.
On or about August 1, 2012 the Company in review of the development plans decided to release 10 sections of P&NG leases back to the Province of Alberta. Those leases were then terminated by the Province of Alberta on September 4, 2012 and accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment of $10,259,918 to current period operations.

Union Energy, LLC
On June 12, 2009, we acquired a 100% working interest in 5,120 acres of oil sands leases in the Province of Alberta, in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of our common stock valued at $800,000. During the year ended March 31, 2011, the oil sands leases expired, therefore incurred an impairment charge of $800,000 in prior period operations.
Peace River
The Company leases 24 sections of oil sands leases in the Peace River region held at $718,903.
During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company management performed an evaluation of its unproved properties for purposes of determining the implied fair value of the assets at March 31, 2012. The test indicated that the recorded remaining book value of its royalty agreement exceeded its fair value for the year ended March 31, 2012. As a result, upon completion of the assessment, management recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $372,721, net of tax, or $0.0 per share during the year ended March 31, 2012 to reduce the carrying value of 14 sections of Peace River leases to $-0-. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from management’s estimates.
Farm In Agreement
The Company reached an Joint Venture agreement for a conventional industry farm in on the Manning properties with a private UK based Company with 61 sections of oil sands lease holdings in the Manning prospect area adjacent to the Company holdings. The agreements were ratified by the Board of Directors of TAMM on November 28, 2011.
The Company and Cougar Oil and Gas Canada, Inc. ("Cougar") terminated their previously announced farm-in agreement to negotiate a new agreement with the private Corporation. The private corporation has signed a multi-phase farm-in agreement with the Company to define and develop the Company's 47 section Manning area heavy oil prospect in parallel with the development of the private corporations 61 sections of land in the Manning area.
The first phase of the farm-in consists of the private corporation performing a $2.5million work program to earn a 30% working interest in the Company's heavy oil prospect. Subsequent year programs of $6.5 million dollars will earn an additional 20% working interest – this agreement has been assigned to CEC North Star Energy Inc by the private corporation.
Cougar was the designated operator in this agreement, however due to the Cougar receivership, Cougar has ceased operations and will not earn under this agreement and is no longer a participant in the agreement.
The private corporation has a related party relationship to the Company due to family members serving on the board of directors of each company and a common director was added to both Board of Directors.
This agreement has expired and has been terminated
Our approach to exploiting the properties is as follows:
Our geologist has identified target zones which we are presently evaluating with the goal of two drill locations. The goal for these locations is to drill, core and drill stem test the target formations followed by running a 30 day evaluation test for product deliverability and for engineering purposes. Once completed and dependent on the results of the testing, we will evaluate our overall position.
We commissioned a prospective resource/feasibility study report to assist us in moving forward in the development of the all the TAMM leases. An updated report was released May 25, 2011 to reflect new information available on adjacent lands. See subsequent event notes.
Property Geology
Well logs, cores and drill cutting sample reports of drilled wells on and around our leased lands suggest that heavy oil enrichment occurs in the Cretaceous Bluesky and Gething Formations, and especially in the Mississippian-aged Debolt Formation which includes the porous Elkton Member. High grade heavy oil intervals predominantly occur in the lower most Elkton Member and Lower Debolt Formation. Porosity in these intervals ranges up to 28%, and the lithology is comprised of both limestones and dolomites which were deposited in a shoaling upward environment.
Gross thickness of the Debolt Formation, including the Elkton Member over our leases, averages approximately 90 feet. These carbonates are relatively homogeneous, thinning in an easterly direction. Porosity has been enhanced by dolomitization, particularly in the Elkton Member and Lower Debolt Formation.
Oil analyses of these zones are sparse in the area, but the few measurements available from a local well indicate an API oil gravity of 14 plus. Gas production occurs in the area from the Cretaceous Bluesky and Gething Formations plus the Mississippian Debolt and Shunda horizons.
Item 3. Legal proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
Item 4. Submission of matters to a vote of security holders
To date, we have not conducted an annual meeting of shareholders.

As more fully disclosed in our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 2008, on July 1, 2008 we rescinded the December 27, 2007 issuance of 21,533,000 shares of our common stock with those 3 Deep Well shareholders. We have affected the necessary acts to cancel the 21,533,000 shares that were issued to the 3 Deep Well shareholders.
On March 5, 2008, we closed the third tranche of a private placement to nine individuals consisting of 80,000 units at a price of $1.25 per Unit for aggregate proceeds of $100,000.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data
Not applicable.
Item 7. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
Overview
We are a petroleum exploration company in the development stage that seeks to identify, acquire and develop working interests in Canada based oil sands prospects. Oil sands properties are characterized by deposits of bitumen, a form of viscous (relatively high resistance to flow) crude oil. We have generated no revenues since our inception and from our inception, we have not been profitable. We have financed our operations to date through equity placements to accredited investors and borrowings from related parties.
Uncertainties and Trends
Our revenues are dependent in the future, upon the following factors:
| · | price volatility in worldwide oil prices, which is affected by: (a) interest rates; (b)currency exchange rates (c) inflation or deflation; (d) speculation and (e) production levels; |
| · | global and regional supply and demand for oil; |
| · | political and economic conditions; |
| · | changes in the regulatory environment, which may lead to increased costs of doing business; |
| · | our ability to raise adequate working capital; |
| · | success of our development and exploration; |
| · | level of our competition; |
| · | our ability to attract and maintain key management and employees; and |
| · | our ability to efficiently explore, develop and produce sufficient quantities of marketable natural gas or oil in a highly competitive and speculative environment while maintaining quality and controlling costs. |
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and notes thereto.
(a) Liquidity and capital resources – 2013 and 2012
(a) (1) Continuing working capital deficit
Our working capital deficit has limited our ability to expand our operations and pursue our business plan. The following table sets forth our continuing working capital at March 31.
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Current Assets | | $ | 64,114 | | | $ | 15,202 | |
Current Liabilities | | | 430,026 | | | | 578,958 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Working Capital (Deficit) | | $ | (365,912 | ) | | $ | (563,756 | ) |
Our current assets increased by $48,912 from $15,202 as of March 31, 2012 to $64,114 at March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily from in accounts receivable, related party, which represents funds held on the Company’s behalf from the proceeds of the sale of our 113 assets in Sawn Lake.
Our working capital deficit decreased by $197,844 to a $365,912 as of March 31, 2013, from $563,756 at March 31, 2012. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased from $519,461 as of March 31, 2012 to $430,026 as of March 31, 2013 primarily due cancellation of debt due to creditor bankruptcy and debt forgiveness.
Related party advances decreased to nil as of March 31, 2013 from $59,497 as of March 31, 2012 due to pay offs from proceeds from the sale of Sawn Lake.
We continue to focus on conserving cash, setting priorities for our most important obligations and seeking other means to pay or defer any obligations as necessary.
(a) (2) Property and equipment 2013 and 2012.
During 2013, there were no material changes to our property and equipment.
March 31 | | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Office equipment | | $ | - | | | $ | 77 | |
Fixed assets net | | $ | - | | | $ | 77 | |
(a) (3) Capital commitments
We do not have any long term debt, capital lease obligations, operating or purchase obligations at March 31, 2013.
(a) (4) Derivative liability – Not applicable.
(a) (5) Equity
Stockholders’ equity decreased to $2,304,596 as of March 31, 2013, from $13,789,702 as of March 31, 2012. The primary reasons for the decrease our net incurred loss of $10,961,229, net with a foreign currency translation gain of $193,802 and common stock obligation exchanged for oil and gas properties $330,075.
(a) (6) Off-balance sheet arrangements.
We have not entered into any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement with an entity unconsolidated with us under whom we have;
| loan obligation under a guarantee contract, |
| |
| loan retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to the unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such assets, |
| |
| loan obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument, or |
| |
| loan obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by us and material to us where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us. |
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments that have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material, other than those which may be disclosed in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes.
(a) (7) Results of operations. The following sets forth certain information regarding our results of operations as of March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Years ended March 31 | | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
General and administrative | | $ | (88,390 | ) | | $ | (148,153 | ) |
Asset impairments | | | (10,259,918 | ) | | | (372,721 | ) |

Weighted average shares - basic and diluted | | | 92,582,523 | | | | 90,915,522 | |
Our operations have resulted in significant losses and negative cash flow as we have invested in our property lease interests.
Revenue. During both 2013 and 2012, our revenues were $0.
Production costs. Production costs remained $0 during 2013 and 2012.
Exploration & development. Exploration and mine development costs was $0 during 2013 and 2012.
General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased by $59,763, or 40.3%, to $88,390 during 2013 from $148,153 during 2012. We attribute the decrease in our general and administrative expenses to professional and legal fees.
Depreciation. Depreciation was $77 in 2013, $102 in 2012.
Impairment.
During the year ended March 31, 2013, our oil sand leases we previously acquired with issuance of common stock expired. As such, we incurred an impairment of our investment of $10,259,918 during the year ended March 31, 2013.
During the year ended March 31, 2012, we impaired 14 sections of our Peace River P&NG leases. As such, we incurred an impairment of our investment of $372,721 during the year ended March 31, 2012.
(Loss) gain on settlement of debt.
During the year ended March 31, 2013, we exchanged our interest in Sawn Lake for the outstanding debt we owed Asperago Holdings SA and accordingly recorded a loss on settlement of debt of $612,514, net with cancellation of debt due to vendor bankruptcies of $67,176.
During the year ended March 31, 2012, we recorded a gain on settlement of debt of $134,932 primarily from a related party bankruptcy proceedings and secondarily forgiveness of credit balance due.
Net loss.
Our net loss in 2013 was ($10,961,229) compared to ($388,592) in 2012, resulting in a basic per-share loss of $(0.12) in 2013 and $(0.00) in 2012 based on weighted average shares outstanding.
Since inception we have not generated any revenues, therefore our general, administrative and other costs have exceeded the resources we have generated through operations. As described above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we have been dependent on debt/equity financing, to meet our working capital obligations and to finance our continuing operating losses. Our current lack of production further complicates our ability to raise cash from these sources. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to finance our operating losses in such a manner. We have, however, been able to raise additional funds in the past and we believe that we will be able to do so in the future.
(a) (8) Cash flow
We have been able to meet our working capital obligations and cover our net loss through the proceeds from the sale of our Shawn Lake leases, net of repayments of related party notes. Net cash flows provided by our financing activities totaled nil in 2013 compared to $40,613 provided in 2012. Cash decreased to nil as of March 31, 2013 from $2,871 at March 31, 2012.
Net cash flows for the years ended | | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Net (loss) | | $ | (10,961,229 | ) | | $ | (388,592 | ) |
Net cash flows used in operating activities | | | (2,871 | ) | | | (31,458 | ) |
Cash flows used in investing activities | | | - | | | | - | |

Cash beginning of year | | | 2,871 | | | | 3,150 | |
Cash end of year | | | - | | | | 2,871 | |
We have used our equity to raise cash necessary to acquire property leases, expenses, and for payment of services. Our ability to continue to use our equity for those purposes is dependent on the price and trading volume of our common stock, both of which are volatile, and our ability to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws.
Although we have been successful in obtaining funds to date, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to be successful in doing so. Our ability to finance our operations will, in the end, be dependent on our ability to generate cash flow from operations, of which there can be no assurance.
(b) Special non-cash impact due to options
No options have been issued during the past three years. No options are currently outstanding.
(c) PLAN OF OPERATION
Our Plan of Operations to Date
To date, we have accomplished the following in our Plan of Operations:
(a) Peace River Oil Sands Area - Manning, Alberta, Canada
On January 9, 2008, we acquired a 100% interest in 21 sections of oil sands leases in the Peace River Oil Sands Area at an Alberta Crown Land Sale for $718,903. On May 28, 2008, we acquired a 100% interest in 14 sections of the P&NG leases in the Peace River Oil Sands Area at an Alberta Crown Land Sale for $372,721.
During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company management performed an evaluation of its unproved properties for purposes of determining the implied fair value of the assets at March 31, 2012. The test indicated that the recorded remaining book value of its royalty agreement exceeded its fair value for the year ended March 31, 2012. As a result, upon completion of the assessment, management recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $372,721, net of tax, or $0.0 per share during the year ended March 31, 2012 to reduce the carrying value of 14 sections of Peace River leases to $-0-. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from management’s estimates.
(b) Sawn Lake Oil Sands Area - Alberta, Canada
We entered into a letter agreement with Vendors, 1004731 Alberta Ltd. and Muzz Investments Inc., dated November 7, 2007, whereby the Vendors agreed to sell, assign and transfer to us, their entire right, title and interest in a royalty agreement made between Mikwec Energy Canada Ltd. and Nearshore Petroleum Corporation dated December 12, 2003 in consideration of the issuance of 4,000,000 shares of our common stock.
During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company management performed an evaluation of its royalty agreement for purposes of determining the implied fair value of the assets at March 31, 2010. The test indicated that the recorded remaining book value of its royalty agreement exceeded its fair value for the year ended March 31, 2010. As a result, upon completion of the assessment, management recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $2,929,868, net of tax, or $0.04 per share during the year ended March 31, 2010 to reduce the carrying value of the royalty agreement to $945,068. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from management’s estimates.
On or about June 30, 2012, the Company exchanged this agreement for the outstanding debt owed to Asperago Holdings SA and recorded a loss on settlement of debt of $612,514. The Company no longer has any interests in the Sawn Lake area.
Alberta Crown
On September 24, 2009, the Company acquired a 100% working interest in 1,280 acres of oil sands leases with a 2% gross overriding royalty retained by the seller in exchange for 2,428,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The value of these rights is recorded at $1,626,760. In addition, the Company acquired 100% working interest in 6,400 acres of petroleum and natural gas leases with a 2% gross overriding royalty retained by the seller in exchange for 14,572,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These rights are recorded at $9,763,240.
On May 31, 2012 the Company entered binding letter of intent as combination of Oilsands leases in the Manning area consisting of 24 sections of Oilsand leases with CEC North Star Energy Ltd. The remaining 10 sections of P&NG leases part of the farm in with CEC North Star Energy Ltd. Tamm will transfer in escrow the tittle and leases to the Manning area properties it holds and the escrow forms part of the put and call agreement issued to Tamm by North Star and will be concluded within one year.
On or about August 1, 2012 the Company in review of the development plans decided to release 10 sections of P&NG leases back to the Province of Alberta. Those leases were then terminated by the Province of Alberta on September 4, 2012 and accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment of $10,259,918 to current period operations.
Our Plan of Operations Going Forward
Our primary operational focus is the Manning project. On May 28, 2008, we purchased 14 sections of the P&NG leases at an Alberta Crown land sale that are adjacent to our existing 21 sections of oil sands leases in the Peace River region of northern Alberta. With this latest acquisition, we now have a 100% working interest in 35 sections, or approximately 22,400 acres. An independent engineering report by Chapman Engineering of Calgary Alberta was completed and filed on SEDAR in 2008 on the newly acquired adjacent 14 sections of leases for the determination of heavy oil in place for the 35 sections.
We intend to further expand our interests in oil sands properties through Alberta Crown Land Sales and/or purchasing interests from other companies that currently hold interests in oil sands properties. To assess our prospects and acquisitions, we will contractually engage geologists and geophysicists to provide geological evaluations.
Presently, our costs are uncertain because they are contingent upon the results of our information and data/collection to confirm whether we have a viable prospect, which will be determined by: (a) our contracted geologists and geophysicists that provide geological evaluations; (b) geological data results and related information/data that we obtain through: (i) the public domain; (ii) our acquisition of data from private firms; and (c) field activities, for example, seismic surveys and a core drilling program, that we may execute to gather specific information, for the purpose of modeling the underlying geological structure.
We will continually adjust our Plan of Operations based on this comprehensive analysis, the extent and quality of the available data, additions to our land base, and other factors, such as applying risk assessment and cost analyses, to determine which of the following activities we will engage in:
Geological Studies
Geological study of the earth’s crust in search for structural features or the age, deposition and distribution of underground sedimentary rocks that are favorable for the accumulation of hydrocarbons and ultimately determine locations for drilling.
Geophysical Surveys
The accurate measurement and recording of certain physical quantities of the Earth’s crust and buried layers of rock, using geophysical methods such as seismic, is necessary to locate probable reservoir structures capable of producing commercial quantities of natural gas and/or crude oil.
Seismic Surveys
Surveys to gather and record the patterns of induced shock wave reflections from underground layers of rock. Seismic surveys are used to create detailed models of the underlying geological structure used in the exploration and development of hydrocarbons.
Core Drilling Programs
A drilling operation to obtain continuous cylinders of rock, usually from two to four inches in diameter, cut from the bottom of a wellbore; cores are cut during the drilling of a well and are used in the study of underground formations.
Exploratory Well Drilling
A well drilled either in search of new and yet undiscovered accumulations of oil and gas, or in an attempt to significantly extend the limits of a known reservoir.
Farm In agreement
The Company reached an Joint Venture agreement for a conventional industry farm in on the Manning properties with a private UK based Company with 61 sections of oil sands lease holdings in the Manning prospect area adjacent to the Company holdings. The agreements were ratified by the Board of Directors of TAMM on November 28, 2011.
The Company and Cougar Oil and Gas Canada, Inc. ("Cougar") terminated their previously announced farm-in agreement to negotiate a new agreement with the private Corporation. The private corporation has signed a multi-phase farm-in agreement with the Company to define and develop the Company's 47 section Manning area heavy oil prospect in parallel with the development of the private corporations 61 sections of land in the Manning area.
The first phase of the farm-in consists of the private corporation performing a $2.5million work program to earn a 30% working interest in the Company's heavy oil prospect. Subsequent year programs of $6.5 million dollars will earn an additional 20% working interest – this agreement has been assigned to CEC North Star Energy Inc by the private corporation.
Cougar was the designated operator in this agreement, however due to the Cougar receivership, Cougar has ceased operations and will not earn under this agreement and is no longer a participant in the agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Tamm Oil and Gas Corp.
Calgary, Canada
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tamm Oil and Gas Corp. and its subsidiary (the “Company”) an exploration stage company, as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, deficiency in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2013 and for the period from October 10, 2005 (date of inception) through March 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We have conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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 consolidated financial position of Tamm Oil and Gas Corp. and its subsidiary as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2013 and for the period from October 10, 2005 (date of inception) through March 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has not commenced its planned principal operations and has suffered recurring losses since inception, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MARCH 31, 2013
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:
Business and Basis of Presentation
TAMM Oil and Gas Corp., formerly Hola Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 10, 2005. The Company was formed to provide wireless broadband access. In October 2007, the Company decided to discontinue its efforts to develop its original business plan in the telecom industry and to re-direct its focus to the oil and gas Industry. In November 2007, the Company created a wholly owned Nevada subsidiary for the purpose of affecting a name change from Hola Communications, Inc. to TAMM Oil and Gas Corporation. To implement its current business plan, significant additional financing will be required and the Company will need to be successful in its efforts to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable.
The Company is in the development (exploration) stage as defined by Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 915-10 Development Stage Entities (“ASC 915-10”) with its efforts principally devoted to developing oil and gas reserves. To date, the Company, has not generated sales revenues, has incurred expenses and has sustained losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from inception through March 31, 2013, the Company has accumulated losses of $81,556,497.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, including TAMM Oil and Gas Corp., its wholly-owned subsidiary, Union Energy, LLC (see below). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Acquisition of Union Energy, LLC
On June 12, 2009, the Company acquired Union Energy LLC, a Colorado limited liability corporation, in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $.80 per share, the fair market value of the stock on that date, for a total investment of $800,000. As part of the acquisition, the Company acquired a 100% working interest in 5,120 acres of oil sands leases in the Province of Alberta.
The total consideration paid was $800,000 and the significant components of the transaction are as follows:
Assets acquired: | | | |
Undeveloped oil sands property lease | | $ | 800,000 | |
Liabilities assumed: | | | ( - | ) |
Net: | | $ | 800,000 | |
During the year ended March 31, 2011, the acquired leases expired, therefore the Company recorded an impairment loss of $800,000 to the operations for the year ended March 31, 2011.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from the sale of petroleum and natural gas are recorded when title passes from the Company to its petroleum and/or natural gas purchaser and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company will begin recording revenue once it is determined there are proved reserves and production commences.

MARCH 31, 2013
Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation of assets is provided by use of a declining balance method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Expenditures for replacements, renewals, and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
The Company evaluates the carrying value of items of property, plant and equipment to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value of an item of property, plant and equipment is considered impaired when the projected undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset are less than its carrying value. The Company measures impairment based on the amount by which the carrying value of the respective asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined primarily using the projected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.
Unconventional Oil Sands Properties
Acquisition, exploration and development of oil sands mining activities are capitalized when costs are recoverable and directly result in an identifiable future benefit, following the full cost method of accounting. Improvements that increase capacity or extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Maintenance and turnaround costs are expensed as incurred.
Oil sands properties are assessed, at minimum annually, or as economic events dictate, for potential impairment. Impairment is assessed by comparing the estimated net undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the asset. If required, the impairment recorded is the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Capitalized costs are depleted and depreciated on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated gross proved reserves once determined by the independent petroleum engineers. Depletion and depreciation is calculated using the capitalized costs, including estimated asset retirement costs, plus the estimated future costs to be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage value.
Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproved properties and major development projects are excluded from the depletion and depreciation calculation if and until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. Costs of unproved properties and major development projects are transferred to depletable costs based on the percentage of reserves assigned to each project over the expected total reserves when the project was initiated. These costs are assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment has occurred.
During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company management performed an evaluation of its unproved properties for purposes of determining the implied fair value of the assets at March 31, 2012. The test indicated that the recorded remaining book value of its royalty agreement exceeded its fair value for the year ended March 31, 2012. As a result, upon completion of the assessment, management recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $372,721, net of tax, or $0.0 per share during the year ended March 31, 2012 to reduce the carrying value of 14 sections of Peace River leases to $-0-. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from management’s estimates.

MARCH 31, 2013
Depletion and Amortization of Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under this method, all direct costs and certain indirect costs associated with acquisition of properties and successful as well as unsuccessful exploration and development activities are capitalized. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of capitalized oil and gas properties and estimated future development costs, excluding unproved properties, are based on the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves.
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets, including unproved properties, to be held and used in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.
On or about August 1, 2012 the Company in review of the development plans decided to release 10 sections of P&NG leases back to the Province of Alberta. Those leases were then terminated by the Province of Alberta on September 4, 2012 and accordingly the Company recorded an impairment of $10,259,918 to current period operations.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company translates the foreign currency financial statements into US Dollars using the year or reporting period end or average exchange rates in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 830-10, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830-10”). Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries were translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect for the periods presented. The cumulative translation adjustment is included in the accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) within shareholders’ equity (deficit). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated results of operations.
Functional Currency
The functional currency of the Companies is the Canadian dollar and the financial statements are reported as US dollar. When a transaction is executed in a foreign currency, it is re-measured into Canadian dollars based on appropriate rates of exchange in effect at the time of the transaction. At each balance sheet date, recorded balances that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Companies are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate. The resulting foreign currency transactions gains (losses) are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive Income (“ASC 220-10”) which establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. ASC 220-10 requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.

Income Taxes
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions and requires that a Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
The Company computes earnings per share under Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”). Net earnings (losses) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of the Company's outstanding warrants (calculated using the treasury stock method). During the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, outstanding warrants were not considered because the exercise prices exceeded the weighted average common stock price of the Company for the period because they would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.
Stock Based Compensation
Effective for the year beginning January 1, 2006, the Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) This requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.
As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no outstanding employee stock options.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the prior periods may have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Reliance on Key Personnel and Consultants
The Company has no full-time employees and no part-time employees. There are approximately 3 consultants performing various specialized services. The Company is heavily dependent on the continued active participation of these current executive officers, employees and key consultants. The loss of any of the senior management or key consultants could significantly and negatively impact the business until adequate replacements can be identified and put in place.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN MATTERS
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year and inception to date periods ended March 31, 2013, the Company has incurred losses of $10,961,229 and $81,556,497, respectively. In addition, as of March 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of $365,912, and no revenue generating operations. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to generate business opportunities, evaluate existing properties and surrounding lands, and initiate commercial production to develop profitable operations which will resolve its liquidity problems. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company is attempting to obtain financing for its operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional equity financing. If operations and cash flows continue to improve through these efforts, management believes that the Company can continue to successfully maintain operations. However, no assurance can be given that management's actions will result in profitable operations or the resolution of its liquidity problems.
NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATED ENTITY
In connection with the October 2007 Letter of Intent to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of 1132559 Alberta Ltd. (“Alberta”), the Company purchased advances due to shareholders of Alberta, directly from the shareholders for $548,500 (during the year ended March 31, 2011, there were repayments of $88,905).

CEC North Star will issue shares in escrow North Star common voting shares at the agreed value per shares issued from Treasury of Thirty Two Dollars ($32.00) Cdn. for a total of 5,062,500 shares. Due to family relationships between CEC North Star Energy and the Company, Mr. Tighe abstained from voting on the transaction. Due to a common board position on both companies, Mr. Hilekes abstained from voting on the transaction. North Star will be responsible for rental costs of the Manning lands going forward. Tamm acknowledges and consents to CEC transferring the balance of the farm in agreement that would apply to the P&NG leases, to North Star. The GORR in place on the Tamm leases will remain the obligation of Tamm under this arrangement The transaction has two key requirements to close – the put/call – 1. TAMM is to re-domicile to Alberta based on a shareholder vote at the next AGM and required documentation, regulatory requirements being completed. 2. Post the re-domicile, approval of the majority of the TAMM shareholders of the transaction at the same AGM would be required. Upon signing this agreement, Mr. Hilekes is appointed to the Board of Directors of CEC North Star and Mr. Tighe is appointed as COO of CEC North Star.

The Company reached an Joint Venture agreement for a conventional industry farm in on the Manning properties with a private UK based Company with 61 sections of oil sands lease holdings in the Manning prospect area adjacent to the Company holdings. The agreements were ratified by the Board of Directors of TAMM on November 28, 2011.
The first phase of the farm-in consists of the private corporation performing a $2.5million work program to earn a 30% working interest in the Company's heavy oil prospect. Subsequent year programs of $6.5 million dollars will earn an additional 20% working interest.
The private corporation has a related party relationship to the Company due to family members serving on the board of directors of each company and a common director was added to both Board of Directors.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Deferred tax assets: | | | | | | |
Net operating losses | | $ | 3,726,818 | | | $ | 1,295,694 | |
Total gross deferred tax assets | | | 3,726,818 | | | | 1,295,694 | |
Less valuation allowance | | | (3,726,818 | ) | | | (1,295,694 | ) |
Net deferred tax asset | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. At March 31, 2013, the Company has available net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $16,115,000 for federal and state income tax purposes. The net operating losses will expire through 2033 and 2023 for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively. The ultimate realization of the net operating losses may be limited if an ownership change occurs under Internal Revenue Code section 382. The Company has fully reserved the tax benefit of the temporary differences as the likelihood of realization of the benefit cannot be established.
At March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s tax provision consists of:

The Company announced that Mr. Harri Huuskonen has resigned from the Board of Directors of the Corporation effective June 20, 2013.
Management evaluated all activities of the Company through the issuance date of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require adjustments or disclosures into the consolidated financial statements.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer/chief financial officer (principal financial officer) as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the year ended March 31, 2013 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of March 31, 2013.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. 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 or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/ Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013 based on the COSO framework criteria. Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.
These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies as described above together constitute a material weakness.
In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2013 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2013 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.
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 on Form 10-K.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
We do not have any information required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 that was not reported.

Based solely on our review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 available to us and, where applicable, written representations from directors, officers and 10% stockholders that no form is required to be filed, we believe that no director, officer or beneficial owner of more than 10% of its common stock failed to file such reports required pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.

Item 13. Certain relationships and related transactions, and director independence
Director Independence
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board; that trading medium does not have director independence requirements. Under Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K, we have adopted the definition of independence used by the American Stock Exchange, which may be found in the American Stock Exchange Company guide at (s) 121(A)(2) (2007). Under this definition, none of our directors are independent, because our Board of Directors cannot affirmatively determine that any of our directors do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out their responsibilities of a director.
