In August 2010 the Company granted stock options under its stock option plan. A portion of the stock options granted relates to geological consulting and as a result a portion of the expense has been capitalized to oil and gas property interests. The vesting period for some of these options is up to three years. As a result, the unvested portion of the options has been revalued at February 28, 2013 resulting in a reversal of stock based compensation expense of ($62) (2012 - $12,827 reversal of expense). Of this ($77) (2012 - $7,360 reversal in capitalized expense) has been deducted from capitalized oil and gas property interests and $15 (2012 - $5,467 reversal of expense) has been recognized in additional stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statement of operations at February 28, 2013.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
This summary of accounting policies for Titan Oil & Gas, Inc. (an exploration stage company) (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Titan Oil & Gas, Inc. (an exploration stage company) was incorporated under the name of Xtrasafe, Inc. on June 5, 2008 under the laws of the State of Florida. On April 19, 2010, the Company’s majority shareholder as the holder of 36,000,000 (at the time representing 67%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, provided the Company with written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders authorizing the Company to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation for the purpose of changing the name of the Company from “Xtrasafe, Inc.” to “Titan Oil & Gas, Inc.” and to change its domicile from Florida to Nevada. In order to undertake the name and domicile change, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Nevada named Titan Oil & Gas, Inc. and merged Xtrasafe, Inc. with the new subsidiary. Subsequent to the merger, the Company continued as a Nevada company named Titan Oil & Gas, Inc.
In connection with the change of the Company’s name to Titan Oil & Gas, Inc. the Company’s business was changed to oil and gas exploration. The change in name, business, and domicile received its final approval by the regulatory authorities on June 30, 2010. The Company has incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in the province of Alberta Canada named TNGS Oil & Gas, Inc. (“TNGS”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the balances of TNGS.
Nature of Operations
The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and if warranted and feasible, the development of oil and gas properties. The Company currently has a 6% working interest in four producing oil wells located in Alberta, Canada. The remaining of the Company’s oil and gas assets are not in production and do not contain any assigned resources or reserves. In Alberta, Canada the Company has acquired the petroleum and natural gas rights to a total of approximately 2,816 hectares of land and has acquired a 2.51255% working interest in a non-producing oil well. In addition, the Company has acquired a 6% working interest in four producing oil wells as of February 28, 2013.
Interim Reporting
The unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the financial position of Titan Oil & Gas, Inc. and the results of its operations for the periods presented. This report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnote disclosure, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012 has been omitted. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending August 31, 2013.
NOTE 2 – ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in US dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company acquired its first producing assets in April 2011. Previously, the Company had not realized any revenue from its oil and gas operations. During the six months ended February 28, 2013, the Company incurred a net loss of $56,553. Since inception on June 5, 2008 the Company has an accumulated deficit of $518,439 to February 28, 2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to develop its oil and gas properties and ultimately achieve profitable operations and to generate sufficient cash flow from financing and operations to meet its obligations as they become payable. Even with production from its Leaman assets it is expected that losses will continue in the future until additional producing assets can either be developed or acquired by the Company. The Company expects that it will need approximately $76,000 to fund its operations during the next twelve months which will include minimum annual property lease payments as well as the costs associated with maintaining an office. Current cash available is not sufficient to fund all of the Company’s operations for the next twelve months. Management may seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. Although there are no assurances that management’s plans will be realized, management believes that the Company will be able to continue operations in the future. Accordingly, no adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and the classification of liabilities has been made to the accompanying financial statements in anticipation of the Company not being able to continue as a going concern
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management’s Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and notes. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates relate to accrued liabilities, stock-based compensation, asset retirement obligations, and the impairment of long-lived assets. Management believes the estimates utilized in preparing these financial statements are reasonable and prudent and are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.
Foreign Currency
The Company has oil and gas property interests in Canada and as a result incurs some transactions in Canadian dollars. The Company translates its Canadian dollar balances to US dollars in the following manner: assets and liabilities have been translated using the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. The Company’s results of operations have been translated using average rates.
All amounts included in the accompanying financial statements and footnotes are stated in U.S. dollars.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains all of its cash balances with two financial institutions in the form of demand deposits.
Loss per Share
Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. As of February 28, 2013, the company has outstanding common stock options of 800,000. The effects of the Company’s common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive for February 28, 2013 and 2012 and are thus not presented.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted ASC 220 (formerly SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”), which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company has disclosed this information on its Statement of Operations. Comprehensive income is comprised of net income (loss) and all changes to capital deficit except those resulting from investments by owners and distribution to owners.
Stock Options
Under ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, the Company is required to record compensation expense, based on the fair value of the awards, for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding as at the date of adoption.
The Company grants stock options to non-employees for services that include researching land availability, lease acquisitions, geological consulting and geophysical services including interpretation of seismic data. These options are accounted for under ASC 505 (EITF 96-18) and were measured at the fair value of the options as determined by an option pricing model on the measurement date and recognized as the related services are provided and the options earned.
Compensation expense for unvested options to non-employees is revalued at each period end and is being amortized over the vesting period of the options.
Oil and Gas Property Payments and Exploration Costs
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for natural gas and oil operations. Under the full cost method all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural gas and oil reserves are initially capitalized into cost centers on a country-by-country basis. The Company’s current cost center is located in Canada. Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling and overhead charges directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities.
Costs capitalized, together with the costs of production equipment, are depleted and amortized on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated net proved reserves, as determined by independent petroleum engineers. The Company has adopted revised oil and gas reserve estimation and disclosure requirements. The primary impact of the new disclosures is to conform the definition of proved reserves with the SEC Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting rules, which were issued by the SEC at the end of 2008. The accounting standards update revised the definition of proved oil and gas reserves to require that the average, first-day-of-the-month price during the 12-month period before the end of the year rather than the year-end price, must be used when estimating whether reserve quantities are economical to produce. This same 12-month average price is also used in calculating the aggregate amount of (and changes in) future cash inflows related to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. The percentage of total reserve volumes produced during the year is multiplied by the net capitalized investment plus future estimated development costs in those reserves. Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproved properties are initially excluded from depletion calculations. These unevaluated properties are assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. When proved reserves are assigned or the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to costs subject to depletion calculations.
Under full cost accounting rules, capitalized costs, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, shall not exceed an amount (the ceiling) equal to the sum of: (i) the after tax present value of estimated future net revenues computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on currents costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; (ii) the cost of properties not being amortized; and (iii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized. If unamortized costs capitalized within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, exceed the ceiling, the excess shall be charged to expense and separately disclosed during the period in which the excess occurs. Amounts thus required to be written off shall not be reinstated for any subsequent increase in the cost center ceiling.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, long lived assets such as equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount of fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.
Asset Retirement Obligations
In accordance with ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, the fair value of an asset retirement cost, and corresponding liability, should be recorded as part of the cost of the related long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a systematic and rational method. The Company has not yet undertaken any field exploration on its properties and as such has not yet incurred an asset retirement obligation. At least annually, the Company will reassess the need to record an obligation or determine whether a change in any estimated obligation is necessary. The Company will evaluate whether there are indicators that suggest the estimated cash flows underlying the obligation have materially changed. Should those indicators suggest the estimated obligation has materially changed the Company will accordingly update its assessment. The asset retirement obligation is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using level 3 inputs based on discounted cash flows involving estimates, assumptions, and judgments regarding the cost, timing of settlement, credit-adjusted risk-free rate and inflation rates.
Revenue recognition
Revenue from the production of crude oil and natural gas is recognized when title passes to the customer and when collection of the revenue is reasonably assured. The Company currently earns revenue from its 6% working interest it has in four producing wells in Alberta, Canada. The Company does not operate the wells but does currently market and sell its proportion of oil and gas produced from the wells. The customers take title when the crude oil is transferred to their pipeline or collection facility.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. If it is determined that the realization of the future tax benefit is not more likely than not, the enterprise establishes a valuation allowance.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, formerly FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The Company had no material unrecognized income tax assets or liabilities for the years ended August 31, 2012 or August 31, 2011. The Company’s policy regarding income tax interest and penalties is to expense those items as general and administrative expense but to identify them for tax purposes. During the year ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no income tax, or related interest and penalty items in the income statement, or liability on the balance sheet. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and Florida State. Tax years 2008 to present remain open to income tax examination. The Company is not currently involved in any income tax examinations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The book values of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value hierarchy under GAAP distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three levels:
| • | Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| • | Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and |
| • | Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use. |
Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. We evaluate our hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

Leaman Property
On April 14, 2011, the company entered into a general conveyance agreement (the “General Conveyance Agreement”) with Huron Energy Corporation (“Huron”), pursuant to which Huron conveyed to the Company a 6% working interest in the petroleum and natural gas rights, as well as the intangible and miscellaneous interests, (collectively, the “Assets”) in 800 acres of land located in the Leaman area of Alberta, Canada (the “Leaman”). In consideration for the Assets, the Company paid Huron an aggregate CDN $140,000. Including closing costs and taxes the Leaman was acquired for a total of USD $148,367. The Leaman consists of six oil wells with five currently in production. Of the five currently in production, the Company receives revenue form four of the wells as a fifth well is currently in penalty. The one well in penalty is a result of Huron not paying its share of capital costs to the well’s operator. Huron did not pay its share of costs as the well has had minimal production to date. The Company does not expect to receive revenue from the well in penalty. The Company has registered to do business in the province of Alberta under the name TNGS Oil & Gas, Inc. (“TNGS”). The General Conveyance Agreement has been executed through the Company’s TNGS registration.
The Company received an updated reserve report as of August 31, 2012. As a result of lower economic and price estimates used in the reserve report, the Company’s reserves have decreased in the current year compared to the prior year. As a result of the decrease in reserves the Company has recognized a write-down of its Leaman property in the amount of $130,201 in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended August 31, 2012.
Depletion Expense
The Company has received a reserve report on its Leaman property as of August 31, 2012. Based on the report prepared by GLJ Petroleum Consultants of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the Company’s portion of estimated proved plus probable producing resources and reserves, on an after royalty basis, is 3,500 recoverable barrels equivalent of oil. As a result $3,322 (2012 - $13,129) has been recorded as depletion expense for the six months ended February 28, 2013. The actual recoverable number of barrels may differ materially from this estimate.
Southeast Alberta Property
On August 19, 2010 the Company acquired an interest in one Petroleum and Natural Gas (“P&NG) Lease (the “August 2010 Lease”) in the province of Alberta, Canada. Including fees and closing costs the rights to the August 2010 Lease were acquired for an aggregate $13,099 and the purchase price includes the first year’s aggregate annual lease payments of $842. The total area covered by the August 2010 Lease is 256 hectares.
Between September 2 and September 30, 2010 the Company entered into six additional P&NG Leases (the “September 2010 Leases”) in the province of Alberta, Canada. Including fees and closing costs the rights to the September 2010 Leases were acquired for an aggregate $76,850 and the purchase price includes the first year’s aggregate annual lease payments of $5,360. The total area covered by the September 2010 Leases is 1,536 hectares.
On December 15, 2010 the Company acquired an interest in a P&NG Lease (the “December 2010 Lease”) in the province of Alberta, Canada. The rights to the December 2010 Lease were acquired for $9,484 and the purchase price includes the first year’s annual lease payments of approximately $899. The total area covered by the December 2010 Lease is 256 hectares.
On January 12, 2011, the Company acquired an interest in two PN&G Leases (the “January 2011 Leases”) in the province of Alberta, Canada. The rights to the January 2011 Leases were acquired for an aggregate $49,613 and the purchase price includes the first year’s aggregate annual lease payments of approximately $2,724. The total area covered by the Company’s January 2011 Leases is 768 hectares.
All of the leases comprising the Southeast Alberta Property were acquired through public land sales held on a regular basis by the Alberta provincial government. Upon being notified that it has submitted the highest bid for a specific land parcel the Company immediately pays the government the bid price and enters into a formal lease with the government. Each of the leases are for an initial five year term, requires minimum annual lease payments, and grants the Company the right to explore for potential petroleum and natural gas opportunities on the respective lease.
All of the Company’s leases are subject to royalties payable to the government of Alberta. The royalty is calculated using a revenue-less-cost formula. In years prior to the recovery of the project’s capital investment, the royalty is 1% of gross revenue. Once the project costs have been recovered, the royalty is the greater of 1% of gross revenue or 25% of net revenue.
Alberta Well Interest
On April 12, 2010 the Company executed a Sale and Conveyance Agreement (the “Agreement”) with 966749 Alberta Corp. (the “Vendor”) for the acquisition of a 2.51255% working interest in an oil well located in Alberta, Canada. Under the Agreement the Company paid the Vendor $6,043 including taxes and closing costs. The underlying property lease is with the Alberta provincial government.
NOTE 5 – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
As of February 28, 2013 the Company’s asset retirement obligation was comprised of its 6% working interest in the Leaman property. The Company has estimated its obligation at February 28, 2013 as $9,036 which includes $410 (2012 - $140) in accretion expense for the six-months ended February 28, 2013.
NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Effective December 1, 2012 the Company began paying its sole executive officer $750 per month. Prior to December 31, 2012 the Company’s sole executive officer served as a director and received $500 per month. The total amount paid to our sole executive officer for the six months ended February 28, 2013 was $3,750. Amounts paid in the prior period to the Company’s former sole executive officer were $18,000. Amounts paid in the prior period included a bonus.
The Company also currently pays one of its directors $500 per month to serve on its Board of Directors. The payments are made quarterly in advance. The total amount paid to the director for the six months ended February 28, 2013 was $1,500 (2012 - $3,000). The balance in 2013 has decreased as the director receiving these payments has agreed to suspend his payments in order to preserve the working capital of the Company. The payments were suspended effective November 30, 2012.
NOTE 7 – SHARE CAPITAL
Stock Options
On August 3, 2010 the Company adopted its 2010 Stock Option Plan (“the 2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan provides for the granting of up to 5,000,000 stock options to key employees, directors and consultants, of common shares of the Company. Under the 2010 Plan, the granting of stock options, the exercise prices, and the option terms are determined by the Company's Option Committee, a committee designated to administer the 2010 Plan by the Board of Directors. For incentive options, the exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the grant date. (In the case of options granted to an employee who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of the Company's stock on the date of grant, the option price must not be less than 110% of the fair market value of common stock on the grant date.). Options granted are not to exceed terms beyond five years.
In order to exercise an option granted under the Plan, the optionee must pay the full exercise price of the shares being purchased. Payment may be made either: (i) in cash; or (ii) at the discretion of the Committee, by delivering shares of common stock already owned by the optionee that have a fair market value equal to the applicable exercise price; or (iii) with the approval of the Committee, with monies borrowed from us.
Subject to the foregoing, the Committee has broad discretion to describe the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Plan. The Committee may at any time discontinue granting options under the Plan or otherwise suspend, amend or terminate the Plan and may, with the consent of an optionee, make such modification of the terms and conditions of such optionee’s option as the Committee shall deem advisable.
All stock options currently outstanding were granted in in the years ended August 31, 2011 and 2010. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to calculate to estimate the fair value of the options at the grant date. The following assumptions were made:
| | 2011 | | | 2010 |
Risk Free Rate | | | 0.17 | % | | | 0.19 | % |
Expected Life of Option | | 5 years | | | 5 years | |
Expected Volatility of Stock (Based on Historical Volatility) | | | 115.6 | % | | | 92.6 | % |
Expected Dividend yield of Stock | | | 0.00 | | | | 0.00 | |
Expected volatilities are based on industry comparables using available data and other factors due to the fact the Company’s business changed substantially from the previous electronic safe business to oil and gas exploration in 2010. When applicable, the Company will use historical data to estimate option exercise, forfeiture and employees termination within the valuation model. For non-employees, the expected term of the options approximates the full term of the options
In August 2010 the Company granted stock options under its stock option plan. A portion of the stock options granted relates to geological consulting and as a result a portion of the expense has been capitalized to oil and gas property interests. The vesting period for some of these options is up to three years. As a result, the unvested portion of the options has been revalued at February 28, 2013 resulting in a reversal of stock based compensation expense of ($62) (2012 - $12,827 reversal of expense). Of this ($77) (2012 - $7,360 reversal in capitalized expense) has been deducted from capitalized oil and gas property interests and $15 (2012 - $5,467 reversal of expense) has been recognized in additional stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statement of operations at February 28, 2013.
The following table sets forth the options outstanding under the 2010 Plan as of February 28, 2013:
| | Available for Grant | | | Options Outstanding | | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | |
Balance, August 31, 2012 | | | 4,200,000 | | | | 800,000 | | | $ | 0.59 | |
Options granted | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | |
Balance, February 28, 2013 | | | 4,200,000 | | | | 800,000 | | | $ | 0.59 | |
The following table summarizes information concerning outstanding and exercisable common stock options under the 2010 Plan at February 28, 2013:
Exercise Prices | Options Outstanding | Remaining Contractual Life (in years) | Weighted Average Exercise Price | Number of Options Currently Exercisable | Weighted Average Exercise Price |
| | | | | |
$ 0.26 | 550,000 | 2.42 | $ 0.26 | 300,000 | $ 0.26 |
$ 1.30 | 250,000 | 2.79 | $ 1.30 | 250,000 | $ 1.30 |
| 800,000 | | | 550,000 | |
The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding at February 28, 2013 was $0 and the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercisable at February 28, 2013 was also $0. No stock options have been exercised to date. As of February 28, 2013 there was $134 in unrecognized compensation expense that will be recognized over 1.50 years.
A summary of status of the Company’s unvested stock options as of February 28, 2013 under all plans is presented below:

General
Titan Oil & Gas, Inc. (an exploration stage company) was incorporated under the name of Xtrasafe, Inc. on June 5, 2008 under the laws of the State of Florida. On April 19, 2010, the Company’s majority shareholder and an officer and director of the Company as the holder of 36,000,000 (at the time representing 67%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, provided the Company with written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders authorizing the Company to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation for the purpose of changing the name of the Company from “Xtrasafe, Inc.” to “Titan Oil & Gas, Inc.” and to change its domicile from Florida to Nevada. In order to undertake the name and domicile change, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Nevada named Titan Oil & Gas, Inc. and merged Xtrasafe, Inc. with the new subsidiary. Subsequent to the merger, the Company continued as a Nevada company named Titan Oil & Gas, Inc.
In connection with the change of the Company’s name to Titan Oil & Gas, Inc. the Company’s business was changed to oil and gas exploration. The change in name, business, and domicile received its final approval by the regulatory authorities on June 30, 2010. The Company has incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in the province of Alberta Canada named TNGS Oil & Gas, Inc. (“TNGS”).
Oil and Gas Property Interests
Titan Oil & Gas Inc. is principally a company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of oil and gas properties. The Company is currently receiving revenue from its 6% interest in four producing oil wells located on the Leaman Property.
Leaman Property
On April 14, 2011, the Company entered into a general conveyance agreement (the “General Conveyance Agreement”) with Huron Energy Corporation (“Huron”), pursuant to which Huron conveyed to the Company a 6% working interest in the petroleum and natural gas rights, as well as the intangible and miscellaneous interests, (collectively, the “Assets”) in 800 acres of land located in the Leaman area of Alberta, Canada (the “Leaman Property”). Under the General and Conveyance Agreement the Company began receiving revenue from its interest in the Assets effective April 1, 2011. In consideration for the Assets, the Company paid Huron an aggregate CDN $140,000. Including closing costs and taxes the Leaman Property was acquired for a total of USD $148,367. The Leaman Property consists of six oil wells with five currently in production. Of the five currently in production, the Company receives revenue from four of the wells as a fifth well is currently in penalty. The one well in penalty is a result of Huron not paying its share of capital costs to the well’s operator. Huron did not pay its share of costs as the well has had minimal production to date. The Company does not expect to receive revenue from the well in penalty. The General Conveyance Agreement has been executed through TNGS.
The Company has received a reserve report on the Leaman Property. Based on the report prepared by GLJ Petroleum Consultants of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the Company’s portion of estimated proved plus probable producing resources and reserves, on an after royalty basis, is 3,500 recoverable barrels equivalent of oil as of August 31, 2012. The actual recoverable number of barrels may differ materially from this estimate. A copy of the report has been included as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company’s Amended Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 29, 2012.
Alberta Well Interest
On April 12, 2010 the Company executed a Sale and Conveyance Agreement (the “Agreement”) with 966749 Alberta Corp. (the “Vendor”) for the acquisition of a 2.51255% working interest in an oil well located in Alberta, Canada (the ‘Well’). Under the Agreement the Company paid the Vendor $6,043 including taxes and closing costs. The underlying property lease is with the Alberta provincial government. The Company has not received any production from this Well and to date there has been only minimal historical production from the Well and currently the Well is not in production.
Southeast Alberta Property
On August 19, 2010 the Company acquired an interest in one Petroleum and Natural Gas (“P&NG) Lease (the “August 2010 Lease”) in the province of Alberta, Canada. Including fees and closing costs the rights to the August 2010 Lease were acquired for an aggregate $13,099 and the purchase price included the first year’s aggregate annual lease payments of $842. The total area covered by the August 2010 Lease is 256 hectares.
Between September 2 and September 30, 2010 the Company entered into six additional P&NG Leases (the “September 2010 Leases”) in the province of Alberta, Canada. Including fees and closing costs the rights to the September 2010 Leases were acquired for an aggregate $76,850 and the purchase price included the first year’s aggregate annual lease payments of $5,360. The total area covered by the September 2010 Leases is 1,536 hectares.
On December 15, 2010 the Company acquired an interest in a P&NG Lease (the “December 2010 Lease”) in the province of Alberta, Canada. The rights to the December 2010 Lease were acquired for $9,484 and the purchase price included the first year’s annual lease payments of approximately $899. The total area covered by the December 2010 Lease is 256 hectares.
On January 12, 2011, the Company acquired an interest in two P&NG Leases (the “January 2011 Leases”) in the province of Alberta, Canada. The rights to the January 2011 Leases were acquired for an aggregate $49,613 and the purchase price included the first year’s aggregate annual lease payments of approximately $2,724. The total area covered by the Company’s January 2011 Leases is 768 hectares.
All of the leases comprising the Southeast Alberta Property were acquired through public land sales held on a regular basis by the Alberta provincial government. Upon being notified that it has submitted the highest bid for a specific land parcel the Company immediately pays the government the bid price and enters into a formal lease with the government. Each of the leases are for an initial five year term, requires minimum annual lease payments, and grants the Company the right to explore for potential petroleum and natural gas opportunities on the respective lease.
All of the Company’s leases are subject to royalties payable to the government of Alberta. The royalty is calculated using a revenue-less-cost formula. In years prior to the recovery of the project’s capital investment, the royalty is 1% of gross revenue. Once the project costs have been recovered, the royalty is the greater of 1% of gross revenue or 25% of net revenue.
Plan of Operations
Other than the Leaman Property, our current properties are without assigned resources or reserves of oil or natural gas. The Company is an exploration stage company and there is no assurance that a commercially viable oil or gas deposit exists on any of our properties. Further evaluation will be required on each property before a final evaluation as to the economics and legal feasibility of any property is determined.
In the next twelve months the Company plans to continue its assessment of its Southeast Alberta Property as well as continuing to review additional property acquisitions.
Results of Operations
Revenues
Commencing April 1, 2010 we began receiving revenues from our 6% working interest in the Leaman property. The Leaman property currently has five producing wells with the Company receiving revenue from four of the wells. The Company is not the operator of the wells on the Leaman property but the Company is responsible for selling its own oil and gas. For the three months ended February 28, 2013 the Company recognized $10,921 (2012 - $18,881) in revenue that resulted from the sale of approximately 194 barrels of oil (2012 - 236 barrels of oil). For the six months ended February 28, 2013 the Company recognized $32,215 (2012 - $40,571) in revenue that resulted from the sale of approximately 442 barrels of oil (2012 - 513 barrels of oil). Gas production for the three and six months ended February 28, 2013 and 2012 was negligible.
Operating Expenses and Net Loss
For the three months ended February 28, 2013 we had a net loss of 47,297 compared to a net loss of $40,359 for the three months ended February 28, 2012. The largest change in the current period was the increase of professional fees to 28,835 in 2013 compared to $4,300 in 2012. The increase was due to the timing of invoicing for audit and other professional fees. In 2012, the Company was not invoiced for certain fees while for the quarter ended February 28, 2013 those fees were invoiced to the Company. Operating costs decreased to $14,310 for the three months ended February 28, 2013 from $21,780 for the three months ended February 28, 2012 as a result of lower production in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter. Management fees decreased to $2,250 in the three months ended February 28, 2013 from $15,000 in the three months ended February 28, 2012. The reduction was due to a bonus paid in 2012 that was not paid in 2013 and to one of our directors suspending his pay effective November 30, 2012. Depletion and accretion expense decreased in the current three months to $1,823 compared to $7,407 in the three months ended February 28, 2012. The decrease was largely due to the write down of the Leaman property that occurred during the year ended August 31, 2012 resulting in much lower capitalized costs to be depleted for the three months ended February 28, 2013 compared to the three months ended February 28, 2012. Also, stock-based compensation for the three months ended February 28, 2013 was $(95) while a reversal of stock-based compensation expense of ($1,123) was recognized in the three months ended February 28, 2012. Stock based compensation expense in both periods was the result of the revaluation of unvested options granted in prior periods.
For the six months ended February 28, 2013 we had a net loss of $56,553 compared to a net loss of $64,562for the six months ended February 28, 2012. The most significant change in the current period was the increase of professional fees to $32,038 in 2013 compared to $22,363 in 2012. The increase was due to the timing of invoicing for audit and other professional fees. In 2012, the Company was not invoiced for certain fees while for the quarter ended February 28, 2012 those fees were invoiced to the Company. Another significant change in the current period was a reduction in management fees to $3,750 in 2013 compared in $15,000 in 2012. The reduction was due to a bonus paid in 2012 that was not paid in 2013 and to one of our directors suspending his pay effective November 30, 2012. Operating costs decreased to $28,931 for the six months ended February 28, 2013 from $34,754 for the six months ended February 28, 2012 as a result of lower production in the current period compared to the prior period. Depletion and accretion expense decreased in the current six months to $3,732 compared to $13,269 in the six months ended February 28, 2012. The decrease was largely due to the write down of the Leaman property that occurred during the year ended August 31, 2012 resulting in much lower capitalized costs to be depleted for the six months ended February 28, 2013 compared to the six months ended February 28, 2012. Also, stock-based compensation for the six months ended February 28, 2013 was $15 while a reversal of stock-based compensation expense of ($5,467) was recognized in the six months ended February 28, 2012. Stock based compensation expense in both periods was the result of the revaluation of unvested options granted in prior periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had a cash balance of $2,990 and a negative working capital of $4,462 as of February 28, 2013. We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next twelve months:
· | $61,000 for operating expenses, including working capital and general, legal, accounting and administrative expenses associated with reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. |
· | $15,000 for annual lease payments and for the on-going assessment of our properties. |
Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended February 28, 2013 was $42,743 compared to $50,451 during the six months ended February 28, 2012. The decrease was largely due to a decrease in the net loss to $56,553 in 2013 compared to $64,562 in 2012. Non-cash expenses relating to depletion and accretion decreased to $3,732 for the six months ended February 28, 2013 compared to $13,269 for the six months ended February 28, 2012. In the current period we incurred inflows from the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $936 while in 2012 there was a cash outflow of $12,777 from changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Also reducing the impact of the decreased loss was an inflow from changes in accounts receivable of $2,772 in 2013 while there was an inflow of $16,709 in 2012. Cash flows from financing activities were $0 for both the six months ended February 28, 2013 and 2012. Investing activities consisted of the acquisition of oil and gas property interests of $15,556 and $18,402 respectively for the six months ended February 28, 2013 and 2012.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to develop its oil and gas properties and ultimately achieve profitable operations and to generate sufficient cash flow from financing and operations to meet its obligations as they become payable. Even with production form its Leaman assets it is expected that losses will continue in the future until additional producing assets can either be developed or acquired by the Company. The Company expects that it will need approximately $76,000 to fund its operations during the next twelve months which will include minimum annual property lease payments as well as the costs associated with maintaining an office. Current cash available is not sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for the next twelve months. Management may seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. Although there are no assurances that management’s plans will be realized, management believes that the Company will be able to continue operations in the future. Accordingly, no adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and the classification of liabilities has been made to the accompanying financial statements in anticipation of the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.
Going Concern Consideration
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $518,439 for the period from June 5, 2008 (inception) to February 28, 2013. Current cash on hand is not sufficient for all of the Company’s commitments for the next 12 months. In order to further explore and develop our properties, additional funding will be required. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations. Management may seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the August 31, 2012 financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
