Basis Of Presentation Policies | ' |
Consolidation Policy | ' |
Consolidation Policy |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its’ wholly owned subsidiary. The Company’s subsidiary is Xtreme Operating Company, LLC. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates |
|
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of its financial statements and changes in these estimates are recorded when known. |
|
Significant estimates with regard to these financial statements include the estimate of (See Note 14), asset retirement obligations, income taxes and contingency obligations including legal and environmental risks and exposures. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Excluded from cash and cash equivalents is $75,313 of restricted cash (deposits) for our operator’s bonds. |
Receivables | ' |
Receivables |
|
Receivables from services are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. The Company records estimated oil and gas revenue receivable from third parties at its net revenue interest. The Company also reflects costs incurred on behalf of joint interest partners in receivables. |
|
Management periodically reviews receivables for collectability. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Uncollectible receivables are charged off against the allowance account. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $173,842 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. |
Investments | ' |
Investments |
|
Investments in partnerships and limited liability companies (LLC) that maintain specific ownership accounts for each investor and where the Company holds an interest of five percent or greater, but does not have control of the partnership or LLC, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. |
Oil and Natural Gas Properties | ' |
Oil and Natural Gas Properties |
|
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and natural gas properties. Costs incurred by the Company related to the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties and the cost of drilling successful wells are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain wells and related equipment and lease and well operating costs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses arising from sales of properties are included in income. Unproved properties are assessed periodically for possible impairment. The Company had $0 of non-producing properties as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. |
|
Capitalized amounts attributable to oil and natural gas properties are depleted by the unit-of-production method. Depreciation and depletion expense for oil and natural gas producing property and related equipment was $2,884 and $6,951 for the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. |
|
Capitalized costs are evaluated for impairment based on an analysis of undiscounted future net cash flows. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on expected future discounted cash flows. See Note 5 for additional information regarding the oil and gas properties. |
Joint Interest Billings Receivable and Oil and Natural Gas Revenue Payable | ' |
Joint Interest Billings Receivable and Oil and Natural Gas Revenue Payable |
|
Joint interest billings receivable represent amounts receivable for lease operating expenses and other costs due from third party working interest owners in the wells that the Company operates. The receivable is recognized when the cost is incurred. |
|
Oil and natural gas revenues payable represents amounts due to joint interest owners for their share of oil and natural gas revenue collected on their behalf by the Company. The payable is recorded when the Company recognizes oil and natural gas sales and records the related oil and natural gas sales receivable. |
|
The Company had $20,728 and $12,002 net joint interest billing receivable as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. |
Other Property | ' |
Other Property |
|
Other assets classified as property and equipment consists primarily of office furniture and equipment, which are carried at historical cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years. Gain or loss on retirement or sale or other disposition of assets is included in income in the period of disposition. |
Environmental Costs | ' |
Environmental Costs |
|
The Company is engaged in oil and natural gas exploration and production and may become subject to certain liabilities as they relate to environmental cleanup of well sites or other environmental restoration procedures as they relate to the drilling of oil and natural gas wells and the operation thereof. In the Company's acquisition of existing or previously drilled well bores, the |
|
Company may not be aware of what environmental safeguards were taken at the time such wells were drilled or during such time the wells were operated. Should it be determined that a liability exists with respect to any environmental cleanup or restoration, the liability to cure such a violation could fall upon the Company. No claim has been made, nor is the Company aware of any liability, which the Company may have, as it relates to any environmental cleanup, restoration or the violation of any rules or regulations relating thereto. |
Asset Retirement Obligations | ' |
Asset Retirement Obligations |
|
The asset retirement obligations represent the estimated present value of the amounts expected to be incurred to plug, abandon, and re-mediate the producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with state laws, as well as the estimated costs associated with the reclamation of the surrounding property. The Company determines the asset retirement obligations by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the liability. The asset retirement obligations are recorded as a liability at the estimated present value as of the asset’s inception, with an offsetting increase to producing properties. The Company has recorded a liability of $300,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. |
|
The estimated liability is determined using significant assumptions, including current estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation of these costs, the productive lives of wells, and a risk-adjusted interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligations. Revisions to the asset retirement obligations are recorded with an offsetting change to producing properties, resulting in prospective changes to depletion and depreciation expense and accretion of the discount. Because of the subjectivity of assumptions and the relatively long lives of most of the wells, the costs to ultimately retire the Company’s wells may vary significantly from prior estimates. |
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Non Oil and Gas Properties) | ' |
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Non Oil and Gas Properties) |
|
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flow that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets or asset groups are considered to be impaired, the loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value, for non oil and gas properties. |
|
The Company determined that there was no impairment of long-lived (non oil and gas property) assets for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. |
Income Taxes | ' |
Income Taxes |
|
The Company recognizes deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future income tax consequences of temporary differences between financial accounting bases and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying currently enacted income tax rates. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Only income tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold will be recognized. |
Revenue Recognition | ' |
Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized and earned. Specifically, the Company recognizes revenue when services are performed and projects are completed and accepted by the customer. |
|
Revenues from sales of crude oil and natural gas products are recorded when deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the commodity transfers to the purchaser. Revenues from the production of oil and natural gas properties in which the Company shares an undivided interest with other producers are recognized based on the actual volumes sold by the Company during the period. |
|
The Company recognizes gains or losses from the sales of its interests in oil and natural gas properties as title passes to the buyer. These amounts are recognized as income from asset sales, net. |
Concentration of Risk | ' |
Concentration of Risk |
|
Our financial instruments that are potentially exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash, trade receivables and other receivables for which the carrying amounts approximate fair value. At certain times, our demand deposits held in banks exceeded the federally insured limit. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these deposits. |
Concentrations of Market Risk | ' |
Concentrations of Market Risk |
|
The results of the Company's oil and natural gas operations are impacted by the market prices of oil and natural gas. The availability of a ready market for crude oil, natural gas and liquid products in the future depends on numerous factors beyond the Company's control, including weather, imports, proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and other transportation facilities, any oversupply or undersupply of oil, gas and liquid products, the regulatory environment, the economic environment, and other regional and political events, none of which can be predicted with certainty. |
|
During 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any credit losses on the sale of oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids or hedging contracts. |
Segments | ' |
Segments |
|
The Company operates in only one business segment, namely the drilling and development of oil and gas properties. |
Derivative Instruments | ' |
Derivative Instruments |
|
The Company’s debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability. |
|
The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments is complex. Our derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For bifurcated conversion options that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, we determine the fair value of these instruments using binomial option pricing model. That model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instrument and risk-free rates of return, our current Common Stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our Common Stock price over the life of the option. |
Fair Value Estimates | ' |
Fair Value Estimates |
|
Pursuant to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 820, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, the Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC No. 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. ASC No. 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value: |
|
Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. |
Level 2—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the asset/liability’s anticipated life. |
Level 3—Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. |
|
The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. |
|
Stock-Based Compensation | ' |
Stock-Based Compensation |
|
We account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the fair value method which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards (including stock options and stock awards) made to employees and directors based on estimated fair value. Compensation expense for equity-classified awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense in earnings over the requisite service period using a graded vesting method. |
|
We periodically issue common stock for acquisitions and services rendered. Common stock issued is valued at the estimated fair market value, as determined by our management and board of directors. Management and the board of directors consider market price quotations, recent stock offering prices and other factors in determining fair market value for purposes of valuing the common stock. |
Loss Per Share | ' |
Loss Per Share |
|
The Company is required to provide basic and dilutive earnings per common share information. The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no securities that would have had a dilutive effect. |
Reclassification | ' |
Reclassification |
|
Certain amounts in the 2011 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 financial presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on net income (loss). |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ' |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
We have adopted recently issued accounting pronouncements and have determined that they have no material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow. We do not expect any recently issued but not yet adopted accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow. |
