Mogul Energy International, Inc.
Mogul Energy International, Inc. (the “Company”), was formed in the state of Delaware on July 25, 2005 and is focused on oil and gas acquisition, exploration, development and production activity primarily in the State of Texas. The Company’s business strategy is focused on building a portfolio of prospective oil and gas properties that are close in proximity to areas containing known oil and gas reserves. By securing industry partners on a promoted basis where practical, the Company is also able to minimize the exploration risk contained within its oil and gas property portfolio. In addition, the Company strives to be the operator, so it can control the operations, timing, scope and financial obligations with respect to its oil and gas exploration, development and production operations.
In management’s opinion all of the adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim period ended September 30, 2011 have been made, such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.
NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
Going Concern
The Company has a history of operating losses, including an accumulated deficit of $8,411,640 through September 30, 2011. This and other factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management plans to address these matters through the sale of additional shares of its common stock, additional borrowings, the sale in whole or partial property interests, or a combination thereof to finance the Company’s future operations.
Although there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in these actions, management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing to continue operations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications used that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. Such adjustments would be material and would have an adverse effect on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires use of estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Because of various factors affecting future costs and operations, actual results could differ from estimates. Critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements relate to the accounting for impairments and carrying amounts of exploration properties including the realizable value of capitalized resource properties for exploration and evaluation costs. Future operations will be affected to the extent there are material differences between the estimated and actual amounts.
NOTE 3 - Securities available for sale
At September 30, 2011 the Company held 135,000 common shares of Sea Dragon Energy Inc., a Canadian company trading on the TSX Venture exchange under the symbol SDX. This investment is accounted for as held for sale. The fair market value of these shares was estimated to be $11,765 at September 30, 2011. The Company sold 165,000 common shares for net proceeds of $45,134 during the preceding nine months.

The Company anticipates the full amount the HST Receivable to be refunded within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Due to the nature of this receivable, management does not consider an allowance for doubtful accounts to be necessary.
Other receivables at September 30, 2011 included accrued revenue, maintenance fees and rent receivable from sublet office space.

Cash Requirements
Further cash requirements may be necessary should we wish to participate in further development of our prospects prospect and working capital. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, the sale of assets, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on their investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.

At September 30, 2011 we had total assets of $887,713, as compared to $984,030 at September 30, 2010. Working capital at September 30, 2011 was negative $782,270 and excludes restricted cash and drilling advances of $430,929 and $457,321, respectively. The accumulated deficit balance has grown to $8,411,640 from $6,875,273 in the comparable prior period due to continued net losses. The Company received $818,281 in loans from a related party, which largely accounts for the increase in liabilities and the working capital deficit at September 30, 2011 as compared to the working capital deficit of $342,262 at September 30, 2010. These related party loans have no interest due and are convertible into the Company’s common stock at the Company’s option.
At September 30, 2011, we had total current liabilities of $1,587,365, including $457,321 for drilling advances and $818,281 for zero interest loans received from a related party. Our total liabilities included an accrual of $115,289 for the potential claims remaining as a contingency due to reassessments denying personal tax deductions to investors in connection with funds raised in 2008 via a flow-though financing (see Financial Statements Note 11). Current liabilities in the corresponding period of 2010 were $342,262.
Capitalized oil and gas assets increased to $93,533 at September 30, 2011 as compared to $36,342 at September 30, 2010. The Increase was principally associated with our 15% working interest for the two wells drilled on the Stafford property.
Cash used for operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $890,112, as compared to $956,814 during the same period of 2010. The Company continues to focus on developing its property interests in Texas. The Company’s projects in Saskatchewan, Canada have been terminated pending completion of reclamation operations.

Revenues from oil and gas production for the nine month period ended September 30. 2011were $10,918 and management fees as operator were $8,885. There were no revenues in the comparable period in 2010.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 total general and administrative costs were $795,043, relatively flat, as compared to $772,549 in the corresponding period of 2010.
Internet and telephone charges increased 46% period-on-period due to increased communication costs between our new head office in Texas and our Canadian offices. Insurance costs were $29,009 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to nil for the same period of 2010. Professional fees decreased period-on-period, as the company used fewer consultants during the first nine months of 2011, as compared to the same period of 2010. Lease reclamation costs were $4,499 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a significant decrease over $59,737 for the same period of 2010, as the Company wound down its Canadian oil and gas operations. Rent expense decreased period-on-period, as the Company began subletting a portion of its office space at its Toronto location during 2011. Travel and Promotions costs have decreased period-on-period from $85,558 to $37,562, as the company narrowed its business focus to its properties in Texas. Travel and promotion costs may increase during future periods as management continues its efforts to grow the Company’s business. Wages increased to $367,802 during the nine months ended September 30, 2001, as compared to $234,794 in the same period of 2010 due to the hiring of additional individuals with expertise in oil and gas development in Texas during the first nine months of 2011.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 the Company sold 165,000 common shares of Sea Dragon Energy Inc. (TSXV: SDX) for net proceeds of $45,206 leaving the Company with 135,000 common shares of Sea Dragon Energy Inc. This investment is accounted for as held for sale. The remaining shares Sea Dragon Energy Inc. had an estimated fair market value of $11,765 at September 30, 2011.
Milestones - During the nine months ended September 30, 2011
Stafford Prospect, Jackson County, Texas
On November 26, 2010, we entered into a Joint Operating Agreement and a Participation Agreement with C. H. Squyres Family, LLC, Fossil Oil Company LLC and certain other individuals who are signatories thereto to develop an extension to the La Ward NE Field in Jackson County (Stafford Prospect). This agreement provides for the shared costs in the acquisition of oil and gas leases in the Stafford Prospect. As operator, we participate in the drilling of the initial well with an 8.89% working interest and will acquire a 6.11% promoted interest resulting in our having a 15.00% working interest upon the successful completion of the initial well drilled on the property. Each participant would also pay the same percentage costs for the next well as was paid on the first well.
On March 6th, 2011, we completed the drilling of the Stafford Well #1 at the La Ward NE Field area in Jackson County, Texas. The well was drilled to a total depth of 7,400 feet. Initial open-hole logging indicates multiple productive zones from the Frio formation with both oil and gas shows. The deepest prospective oil zone shows a structural sand 10 feet higher to an offsetting productive well with a sand thickness of 5 ½ feet with a 33% porosity and 20% water saturation. Additional tests and analysis of the several other productive zones will continue while the casing is installed, cemented and surface equipment are put into place. We have had some intermittent production as we evaluate production from various zones.
Stafford Well #1 has produced a gross amount 1,048 barrels of oil through September 30, 2011. The Company continues to test and analyze the production of multiple productive zones in this well. The Company has a 15% working interest in the Stafford Well #1.
We completed drilling of the Stafford #2 well at the end of the quarter. The well is located approximately 600 feet west of the Stafford #1 well. Open-hole logging indicated the potential of eight productive zones from the Frio formation with a cumulative thickness of 49 feet of pay of both oil and gas shows and further indicating several zones structurally higher than the Stafford #1 well. Unanimous consent was secured form all partners to complete the well as a viable producing well on September 23rd.
North Pasture Prospect – San Patricio County, Texas
On December 8, 2010, we entered into a Joint Operating Agreement and a Participation Agreement with Global Oil and Gas Resources Inc., Dolimiti Partners LLC, Indian Lane Asso., LLC, Plastiform Packaging, Inc. and certain other individuals who are signatories thereto for the first prospect known as the North Pasture Prospect in San Patricio County, Texas. Subject to the continued acquisition of the mineral leases in the area, we, as operator, would pay no proportionate cost for the drilling of the well and would earn a 25% net working interest upon the successful completion of the initial well. We have acquired leasehold rights to an additional 245 acres increasing our total acreage of the prospect to 260 acres. We are currently in negotiations with drilling companies to spud the well in the fourth quarter
Saskatchewan Exploration Program
We do not plan on any further exploration in Saskatchewan due to the expiration of our mineral leases. Our Ryerson 16-17-009-31W1M well, previously suspended after encountering a heavily oil stained, marginal reservoir within the Bakken interval, was determined by management to be uneconomical and it has been plugged and abandoned. On December 31, 2010 an impairment charge $523,558 has been made against previously capitalized costs.
Material Asset Purchases and Sales
Excelaron Interest
On February 12, 2009, we had acquired a 40% interest (the “Excelaron Interest”) in Excelaron LLP, a privately held company based in California (“Excelaron”). The acquisition was contingent upon our making a capital contribution of $2,300,000 in installments over a specified period. After making payments of $425,000 we engaged in assigning our interest to other parties better positioned to capitalize on this asset in exchange for either shares or cash.
On March 26, 2010, an Amended Qualifying Transaction Agreement was executed pursuant to which we agreed to accept, an aggregate of $1,000,000 Canadian Dollars (less $150,000 in debt financing repaid and $87,900 in legal and consulting fees) and the reimbursement of approximately, $425,000 of advances made by us to Excelaron, in exchange for the Excelaron Interest. The agreement was consummated on April 30 of 2010.
Sea Dragon Energy Inc.
At September 30, 2011 the Company held 135,000 common shares of Sea Dragon Energy Inc., a Canadian company trading on the TSX Venture exchange under the symbol SDX. This investment is accounted for as held for sale. The fair market value of these shares was estimated to be $11,765 at September 30, 2011. The Company sold 165,000 common shares for net proceeds of $45,134 during the preceding nine months.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment (excluding oil and gas activities) over the next twelve months ending December 31, 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have no current arrangements with any party to supplement our operations or provide us with financing in the future. In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling debt or equity securities, selling assets, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then shareholders. We provide no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Going Concern
We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our Company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our Company discontinue operations.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above, in thereport on the annual financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2010, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2010, contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. As noted herein, we are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
Governmental Regulations and Licensing
In order to drill for, recover, transport or sell any gas or oil from the properties subject to the Company’s drilling rights, the Company will generally be required to obtain additional licenses and permits and enter into agreements with various landowners and/or government authorities. The issuance of these permits and licenses generally will be contingent upon the consent of the governmental authority having jurisdiction over the property, which entities have broad discretion in determining whether or not to grant such authority. These licenses, permits, and agreements will generally contain numerous restrictions and require payment of development and exploration fees and royalties typically based on the recoverable reserves or expenditures. The amount of any such fee and royalties and other terms will determine in part, the commercial viability of any extraction prospect.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required under the Exchange Act, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, being September 30, 2011.
