To the Board of Directors
Tero Oilfield Services Ltd,
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Tero Oilfield Services Ltd (the “Company”), as of June 30, 2014 and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the four months period ended June 30, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States 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 audit 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to the above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tero Oilfield Services Ltd. as of June 30, 2014, and the results of operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the four months period ended June 30, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Tero Oilfield Services Ltd, Inc. (“the Company”, “Tero”) was incorporated in the State of Alberta on January 31, 1997.
Tero Oilfield Services Ltd., an energy services company, provides specialized services to upstream oil and natural gas companies operating in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. Through the exploration and production of oil and gas a significant regular stream of waste is generated by the oil and gas producers. The oil and gas producers are required to dispose of this waste in an environmentally approved manner as stipulated by Alberta Energy, Alberta’s energy regulator.
The Company assists upstream oil and natural gas companies with the disposal fluids and solids and/or treatment of by-products. To dispose of liquid wastes, oil and gas producers are required to inject them into approved permitted injection wells. An injection well disposes of the waste fluids deep into the ground into porous rock formations outside of known oil and gas production zones and well as underground aquifers. The company owns and operates a full Class 1B liquid and sold oilfield waste handling facility in Wardlow, Alberta, Canada. This class of well is approved for the disposal of produced water, specific common oilfield waste streams and waste streams meeting specific criteria.
On August 20, 2012, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Lithium Exploration Group, Inc (Lithium) pursuant to which Tero agreed to sell to 75% of its issued and outstanding common shares of to Lithium in exchange for an aggregate of $1,500,000,
On March 1, 2014, Alta Disposal Ltd. (Alta), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lithium, completed a share purchase agreement with Tero and Garry Hofmann, the sole shareholder of Tero. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Hofmann agreed to sell and Lithium agreed to purchase 50% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Tero in exchange for an aggregate of
Lithium has been granted an option to acquire an additional 25% of the shares in Tero for $500,000 by February 28, 2015.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less at date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.
Short-Term Investments
The Company invests excess cash in GST accounts with maturities typically at one year.

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable arise in the normal course of business and are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is based on management’s estimate of the uncollectible trade accounts receivable based on historical collection experience and management’s evaluation of the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable. Contractual terms and payment history determine when receivables are delinquent. The Company evaluated its accounts receivable at June 30, 2014 and did not record an allowance for doubtful accounts because of the assurance of collectability of those receivables.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset. There were no impairment losses taken for the period ended June 30, 2014.
Revenue recognition
It is the Company’s policy that revenue from product sales or services will be recognized in accordance with ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”. Four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue for which the product was not delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.
The Company generates revenue by handling waste generated by oil and gas producers in the area. Specifically, the waste streams handled by the Company can be classified into the following categories:
- Fluids Disposal-Fluid disposal consists of the disposal of rig tank and workover water, produced water and frac water.
- Solids Disposal-Solid waste is produced in drilling, production, well servicing, and vessel cleaning. It is generally brought to waste disposal facilities mixed with liquids is then separated, tested, dewatered, then sent to a landfill for disposal.
- Oil Skimming-Through a process of heating and the use of various chemicals, the Company processes oilfield waste to separate to solids, water and oil. The oil is stored on site temporarily until sufficient volumes are accumulated to be shipped through pipeline.
Asset retirement obligation
The liability for the fair value of environmental and site restoration obligations is recorded when the obligations are incurred and the fair value can be reasonably estimated. The obligations are normally incurred at the time the related assets are brought into production. The fair value of the obligation is based on the estimated cash flows required to settle the obligations discounted using an estimate of the Company's finanCing rate. The fair value of the obligations is recorded as a liability with the same amount recorded as an increase in capitalized costs. The amounts included in capitalized costs are amortized using an amortization rate of 10%. The liability is adjusted for accretion expense representing the increase in the fair value of the obligations due to the passage of time.
