Basis of Presentation |
|
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Red Mountain Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). |
|
The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and in the opinion of management, such financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at December 31, 2013 and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Company has omitted certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures it has made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. |
|
In preparing the accompanying financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results the Company expects for the full fiscal year. The Company has not made any changes in its significant accounting policies from those disclosed in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. |
|
The Company effected a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock at a ratio of one-for-ten (1:10) on January 31, 2014. Retroactive application of the reverse stock split is required and all share and per share information included for all periods presented in these financial statements reflect the reverse stock split. |
|
On July 17, 2013, the Company’s board of directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from May 31 to June 30, effective as of June 30, 2013. The change in the Company’s fiscal year end resulted in a one-month transition period that began on June 1, 2013 and ended on June 30, 2013. |
|
As a result of this change, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Company compares the three-month period ended December 31, 2013 with the previously reported three-month period ended November 30, 2012 and the six-month period ended December 31, 2013 with the previously reported six-month period ended November 30, 2012. Financial information for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 has not been included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the following reasons: (i) the three and six months ended November 30, 2012 provide a meaningful comparison for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013; (ii) there are no significant factors, seasonal or other, that would impact the comparability of information if the results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 were presented in lieu of results for the three and six months ended November 30, 2012; and (iii) it was not practicable or cost justified to prepare this information. |

Business Combinations | ' |
Business Combinations |
|
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The acquisition method requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed including contingencies be recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company has finalized the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Cross Border Resources, Inc. (“Cross Border”). |
|
Noncontrolling Interests | ' |
Noncontrolling Interests |
|
Subsequent to January 28, 2013, the Company accounts for the noncontrolling interest in Cross Border in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. ASC 810 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interest of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owner. In addition, this guidance provides for increases and decreases in the Company’s controlling financial interests in consolidated subsidiaries to be reported in equity similar to treasury stock transactions. |
|
Investments | ' |
Investments |
|
Prior to January 28, 2013, the Company’s investment in Cross Border was accounted for under the equity method of accounting based on the Company’s significant influence. The determination of whether the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors, including, among others, ownership level. Under the equity method of accounting, an investee company’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations; however, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee company is reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Company’s carrying value in an equity method investee company is reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company evaluates these investments for other-than-temporary declines in value each quarterly period. Any impairment found to be other than temporary would be recorded through a charge to earnings. |

Investments In Non-performing Debentures | ' |
Investments in Non-Performing Debentures |
|
The Company’s investments in non-performing debentures were initially recorded at cost which the Company believes was fair value. Management estimated cash flows expected to be collected considering the contractual terms of the loans, the nature and estimated fair value of collateral, and other factors it deemed appropriate. The estimated fair value of the loans at acquisition was significantly less than the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan agreements. |
|
Since, at the acquisition date, the Company expected to collect less than the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loans based, at least in part, on the assessment of the credit quality of the borrower, the loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“ASC 310-30”). The difference between the contractually required payments on the loans as of the acquisition date and the total cash flows expected to be collected, or non-accretable difference, is not recognized and totaled $2.5 million and $1.5 million, plus accrued interest in arrears, as of December 31, 2013 and November 30, 2012, respectively. |
|
Debentures are classified as non-accrual when management is unable to reasonably estimate the timing or amount of cash flows expected to be collected from the debentures or has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest. As of December 31, 2013 and May 31, 2013, all of the Company’s debentures were on non-accrual status since the borrower remains under the supervision of the bankruptcy court. |
|
|
|
The Company periodically re-evaluates cash flows expected to be collected for each debenture based upon all available information as of the measurement date. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected are recognized prospectively through an adjustment to the debenture’s yield over its remaining life, which may result in a reclassification from non-accretable difference to accretable yield. Subsequent decreases in cash flows expected to be collected are evaluated to determine whether a provision for loan loss should be established. If decreases in expected cash flows result in a decrease in the estimated fair value of the debenture below its amortized cost, the debenture is deemed to be impaired, and the Company will record a provision for impairment to write the debenture down to its estimated fair value. The Company did not record any impairment on the debentures during the six months ended December 31, 2013 and November 30, 2012. |
|
The Company’s investments in non-performing debentures are classified as held to maturity because the Company has the intent and ability to hold them until maturity. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ' |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, an amendment to FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. ASU 2013-11 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2013-11 on its consolidated financial statements and financial statement disclosures. |
