This prospectus relates to the sale of up to 2,000,000 shares of the common stock of
North Texas Energy, Inc.
Offering Made Without an Underwriter
See the Section Offering-Plan of Distribution in the Prospectus
This offering is self-underwritten and conducted on a "Best Efforts No Minimum" basis and will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date upon which all 2,000,000 shares registered hereunder have been sold, or (ii) the date upon which we terminate this offering. No arrangement has been made to escrow funds received from the stock sales pending the completion of the offering.

THIS SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS SELECTED INFORMATION AND DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL THE INFORMATION THAT MAY BE IMPORTANT TO YOU. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THIS PROSPECTUS, ANY RELATED PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS WE HAVE REFERRED YOU TO IN "WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION" ON PAGE 31 BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE "RISK FACTORS" SECTION BEGINNING ON PAGE 6 IN THIS PROSPECTUS, REFERENCES TO " THE COMPANY," "WE," "US" AND "OUR" AND SO FORTH REFER TO THE MERGED OR COMBINED COMPANIES AS ONE ALTOGETHER SUBSEQUENT TO THE MERGERS AND COMBINATION OF THE RESPECTIVE BUSINESSES INTO NORTH TEXAS ENERGY, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES.
HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZATION- NORTH TEXAS ENERGY, INC.
PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT WITH REMINGTON OIL & GAS, INC.
North Texas Energy, Inc. ("NTE", "the Company", "we") was organized in Nevada in January 2011. We are a combination of two companies, each originally founded for the same purpose. The predecessor to NTE is Remington Oil & Gas, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its predecessor is Remington Oil & Gas LLC., a Texas Limited Liability Company. During 2009, Remington Oil & Gas, LLC acquired oil field leases in north Texas. In January 2010, Remington Oil & Gas, Inc. acquired all of the outstanding ownership interests of Remington Oil & Gas, LLC. In the process, Remington Oil & Gas, Inc. acquired the oil and gas leases in northern Texas that had been previously assigned to Remington Oil & Gas, LLC. Effective in January 2011, North Texas Energy, Inc. acquired Remington Oil & Gas, Inc. through a Purchase and Sale Agreement. The Purchase and Sale Agreement (see exhibit 2.2) transferred title of Remington's well-head equipment to North Texas Energy, Inc. and provided for the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Remington Oil & Gas, Inc. by North Texas Energy, Inc. in a one-for-one share exchange. North Texas Energy has begun producing crude oil on its oil and gas leases in northern Texas. A complete description of the Company's operations and oil and gas properties follows in the sections entitled "Oil and Gas Properties and Reserves". In order to execute its business plan to recover the oil and gas reserves on its leased property, the Company prepared and filed an S-1 Registration Statement for the sale of two million shares of its common stock. The price of the common shares was set at $2.00 per share. The registration statement became effective on March 29, 2013. The sale of the common shares was and is being conducted without an underwriter. Since the Company's S-1 Registration Statement became effective on March 29, 2013, the Company by and through its CEO, Kevin Jones, beginning in June 2013 and through June 30, 2016, issued 900,240 shares registered in the stock offering. The shares were sold at the offering price of $2.00 per share yielding to the Company an equity capital infusion of $1,800,480. The Company also issued 1,500 shares of restricted stock for cash at $1.00 per share to a private party. The total stock sales combined netted the Company $1,801,980 in capital infusion. The Company continues to issue shares of its common stock in accordance with the registration statement and will continue until all of the 2,000,000 shares are sold.
THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
North Texas Energy, Inc. is a non-traditional crude oil and natural gas producing company. The Company had acquired title to oil and natural gas leases in Milam and Upshur counties in the state of Texas. The Company's Oil and Gas leases in Upshur County Texas acquired from Remington Oil and Gas expired on December 18, 2013 and the Company chose not to renew those leases and focus its efforts to begin production on its leases in Milam County Texas. Since its operational beginnings in January 2014, the Company acquired additional leases.
The Company controls 100% of the working interests in the Milam County Texas leases. There is substantial oil exploration and production currently in the areas in which the Company holds ownership rights to the oil and gas reserves that the Company seeks to bring to market. The Company's business is the re-entering of oil fields containing wells that used to produce crude oil and employ newly proven methods to recover the remaining reserves of crude oil and natural gas. The Company has increased the number of leased properties in order to bring more reserves of oil to the surface to sale to the market.
NTE is an Enhanced Oil Recovery ("EOR") company. EOR is a term used to describe a variety of methods by which oil reserves are recovered from existing oil fields that were not completely exhausted using standard methods. We are not an "exploration company" in the sense that our business and our methods do not involve an attempt to explore for new oil reserves but rather to exploit existing known oil fields using other than "standard" recovery methods. In simplified terms, the "standard" methods of producing oil and natural gas from its location in natural reservoirs in the earth is to drill a relief (well) into the reservoir and allow the reservoir's crude oil to surface because of the natural pressure that exists in the reservoir structure underground. Once a well is finished and well casing is in place, the oil and natural gas will surface under its own pressure or with a small amount of suction introduced into the well. As the oil surfaces so does the natural gas. The gas and oil are separated and stored or delivered directly to market.
Enhanced Oil Recovery methods identify the process(s) by which substantial amounts of oil and gas that remain in a field reservoir, after standard recovery methods are exhausted, can be recovered using a variety of methods of enhancing the natural pressure in a reservoir or using some other method to release additional trapped oil in the reservoir. EOR allows for the recovery of significantly more oil from the same field by introducing additional pressure or other geological changes in the reservoir. The original well, well casing and well head equipment, are used in the process.
During 2013, the Company successfully used an EOR method called "microbial injection" to induce pressure in its oil field reservoirs and allow for the oil reserves to be recovered. Microbial injection is the process by which nutrients or compounds are injected into an oil field to allow for the natural enhancement of the movement and release of the oil out of the reserve. According to the U.S. Department of Energy Fossil Energy report on Oil and Natural Technologies "Enhanced Oil Recovery" "Conventional primary and secondary recovery operations often leave two-thirds of the oil in the reservoir at the time of abandonment. Enhanced oil recovery methods have the potential for recovering much of the remaining oil." - U.S. DOE. The concept is to use natural environmental reactions to improve the recovery of oil trapped in porous media in the reservoir or without sufficient pressure to allow the oil and gas to be expressed normally from the reservoir to above ground. In each different oil field, the method by which EOR can be successful is dependent on the oil field and reservoir structure. The uniqueness of each field may involve unique EOR methods which can be any combination of methods involving the use of expertise in the disciplines of geology, chemistry, and microbiology as well as fluid mechanics and a variety of engineering applications.
In December 2013, the Company began producing crude oil from its oil and gas leases that had been treated by the Enhanced Oil Recovery Method identified as "Microbial Injection" as described earlier. In December 2013, the Company produced approximately 120 barrels of crude oil from its refurbished wells that was sent to market and sold in January 2014. During 2014 and 2015, the Company has produced an additional approximate total of 1,062 and 747 barrels of crude oil, respectively, from its wells.
The Company relies on the science and practice of qualified petroleum engineers to identify oil and gas reserves in oil fields that we wish to enter and begin producing operations (see "Petroleum Engineer's Report" in the supplemental information attached to this prospectus). Additionally, NTE will rely on oil reserve identification methods such as seismic analysis and interpretation. We rely on engineering analysis and written reports that indicate (based on professional opinion) the character and type of oil reserves that may be in any particular oil field (See the section on "Risk Factors" for more information). Once NTE identifies an attractive field, we attempt to enter into an agreement to acquire lease title to the field and begin the process of producing oil and natural gas from the field using currently known effective EOR methods.
DESCRIPTION OF THE OIL AND GAS LEASE RIGHTS AND RESERVES
In order to determine the cost-effectiveness and feasibility of the Company's plan to produce oil from its leased oil and gas properties, a professional petroleum engineer's Technical Report was previously commissioned by the Company to determine the estimated hydrocarbon (crude oil and natural gas) reserves in the geological structures under the ground leases. The reports provide analytical data and conclusions that make estimates of the reserves the Company holds title to in the Minerva-Rockdale field. The Minerva-Rockdale field is shallow, dense, and known to be rich in hydrocarbon reserves including oil and natural gas. The leases are recorded in Milam County TX and are on record and identified in the records of the Texas Railroad Commission who has regulatory management authority over oil and gas leases in the state of Texas.
North Texas Energy, Inc. is an 'Enhanced Oil Recovery' company whose primary function is to increase the ultimate recovery of oil and gas from the wells it presently owns or will acquire in the future in order to maximize value to its stockholders. At this time the registrant has only 'unproved' reserves that are all located in the state of Texas in Milam County. NTE owns 100% working interest in all of its leases of which all are now producing oil.
THE COMPANY'S BRIEF OPERATING HISTORY
The Company and its predecessor had no field operations or activity in 2009 or from 2011 to 2012. The Company's predecessor had brief field operations during 2010. Beginning in 2010, the Company obtained funding from the private sale of its common stock. Along with the use of those funds and trade credit, the Company's predecessor began refurbishing and repairing the wells existing on the leased property for production and use. Working capital in the form of approximately $206,000 in cash from unregistered common stock sales along with trade credit from suppliers and contractors of $98,000 was used in the process. Financial information covering the Company's relevant operating history follows after this section (see the sections "Management's Discussion and Analysis" and "Financial Statements").
In 2013 the Company began receiving the proceeds from its public offering of its common shares related to its Registration Statement which became effective on March 29, 2013. Related to that offering, the Company has issued a total of 900,240 shares of its common stock registered in the offering as of June 30, 2016. The funds received from the sale of the 900,240 shares were used to begin developing the Company's oil and gas properties, resulting in oil production in December 2013 and subsequently.
THE OFFERING-PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The original prospectus dated March 29, 2013 refers to the sale of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company had outstanding common stock totaling 5,831,000 shares at December 31, 2012 and intended to issue another 2,000,000 shares to the public in the offering. Of the total outstanding shares, 831,000 of the Company's common shares were originally issued in book entry form to be issued to the prior shareholders of Remington Oil and Gas, Inc. in accordance with the Purchase and Sales Agreement. The Company is amending its original prospectus to allow for additional time to sell the remaining not yet sold shares originally registered in its registration statement dated March 29, 2013.
Physical share certificates are issued upon the Company's transfer agent receiving the appropriate documentation to complete the issuance of the stock certificates for those outstanding shares. The offering of the shares is made by the Company through the best efforts of its management and no underwriter is involved. The Company is responsible for all of the costs of the offering. The shares may be sold by the Company to any qualified individual or entity and are sold for cash only. This offering will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date upon which all 2,000,000 shares registered hereunder have been sold, or (ii) the date upon which we terminate this offering. It is likely that not all of the stock offered will be sold to investors immediately. It is likely that a delayed sale of the securities will take place over an extended period of time. The following table shows the possible outcomes for computing the Company's outstanding stock given partial sales of the total offering given in percentage intervals.
| | | Additional Shares Sold | |
| Shares Outstanding at June 30, 2016 | | 250,000 Shares | | 750,000 Shares | | 750,000 Shares | | 1,099,760 Shares | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Number of shares outstanding | | | 6,835,740 | | | | 7,085,740 | | | | 7,335,740 | | | | 7,585,740 | | | | 7,935,500 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Gross Proceeds | | $ | 1,801,980 | | | $ | 2,301,980 | | | $ | 2,801,980 | | | $ | 3,301,980 | | | $ | 4,001,500 | |
Of the total number of shares outstanding and subscribed at June 30, 2016, approximately 5,000,000 are held by a "control person" and 831,000 shares are subscribed to and held by private investors who acquired their stock via the stock exchange between Remington Oil & Gas, Inc. and the Company effective January 12, 2011. Of the total outstanding shares, 831,000 of the Company's common shares were originally issued in book entry form to be issued to the prior shareholders of Remington Oil and Gas, Inc. in accordance with the Purchase and Sales Agreement. Physical share certificates are issued upon the Company's transfer agent receiving the appropriate documentation to complete the issuance of the stock certificates for those outstanding shares.
Since the Company's S-1 Registration Statement became effective on March 29, 2013, the Company by and through its CEO, Kevin Jones, beginning in June 2013 and through June 30, 2016, issued 900,240 shares registered in the stock offering. The shares were sold at the offering price of $2.00 per share yielding to the Company an equity capital infusion of $1,800,480. The Company also issued 1,500 shares of restricted stock for cash at $1.00 per share to a private party and issued 103,000 shares for services. The total stock sales combined netted the Company $1,801,980 in capital infusion.
The Company has made no plans to place the proceeds of the offering in escrow or trust account. The proceeds are to be used when available. Immediate use of the proceeds when received in the Company's accounts regardless of the total received at any time during the offering has the possibility of having a negative effect on investors. Because the offering has no set minimum and there is no plan to escrow the offering proceeds, the Company may fail to raise enough capital to fund its business plan and operations and it's possible that investors may lose all or substantially all of their investment. North Texas Energy Inc. is registering 2,000,000 shares of its common stock for offer and sale. There is currently no active trading market for our common stock, and such a market may not develop or be sustained. We currently plan to have our common stock listing on the OTCMarkets, subject to the effectiveness of this Registration Statement. The Company will not offer the shares through a broker-dealer or anyone affiliated with a broker-dealer. The Company is bearing all expenses in connection with the registration of the shares of the Company. We are offering the shares on a "self-underwritten" basis directly through Kevin Jones, our Chief Executive Officer and Director named herein, who will not receive any commissions or other remuneration of any kind for selling shares in this offering except for the reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the sale of the common stock.
This offering is a self-underwritten offering, which means that it does not involve the participation of an underwriter to market, distribute or sell the shares offered under this prospectus. We will sell shares on a continual basis.
In connection with his selling efforts in the offering, Mr. Jones will not register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act but rather will rely upon the "safe harbor" provisions of Rule 3a4-1 under the Exchange Act. Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons associated with an issuer that participate in an offering of the issuer's securities. Mr. Jones is not subject to any statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a) (39) of the Exchange Act. Mr. Jones will not be compensated in connection with his participation in the offering by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in our securities. Mr. Jones is not and has not been within the past 12 months, a broker or dealer, and is not within the past 12 months, an associated person of a broker or dealer. At the end of the offering, Mr. Jones will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for us or on our behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities. Mr. Jones has not participated in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) or (iii).
The price per share is fixed at $2.00. Prior to being quoted on any national public stock exchange, the Company may sell its shares in private transactions to individuals or qualified entities. Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, we intend to seek a listing on the OTCMarkets. In order to be quoted on the Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that an agreement with a market maker to file the necessary documents with FINRA which regulates the OTCMarkets, can be made nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved. However, sales by the Company will be made at the price of $2.00 per share.
The Company's shares may be sold to purchasers from time to time directly by and subject to the discretion of the Company. Further, the Company will not offer its shares for sale through underwriters, dealers, agents or anyone who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Company and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom they may act as agents. The shares sold by the Company may be occasionally sold in one or more transactions.
In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the securities will be offered or sold in those only if they have been registered or qualified for sale; an exemption from such registration or if qualification requirement is available and with which the Company has complied. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Company will be subject to applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard to security transactions during the period of time when this Registration Statement is effective. The Company will pay all expenses incidental to the registration of the shares (including registration costs pursuant to the securities laws of certain states).

RISK FACTORS
Please consider the following risk factors and other information in this prospectus relating to our business and prospects before deciding to invest in our common stock. This offering and any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this prospectus before deciding whether to purchase our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The Company considers the following to be the material risks for an investor regarding this offering. North Texas Energy Inc. should be viewed as a high-risk investment and speculative in nature. An investment in our common stock may result in a complete loss of the invested amount.
Lack of an Operating History
The Company has a very brief operating history. During its brief operating history, the Company has only recognized a nominal revenue from its operations. The Company has used capital provided by shareholders and trade credit to provide operations capital during its brief operating history. The Company may not immediately realize any revenue from its operations unless it obtains sufficient funding for its oil producing activities. The Company's brief operating history and inability to yet realize any net income from its efforts should be considered as a substantial risk to investors who purchase the securities of the Company.
Lack of Profitable Operations in Recent Periods
The Company has not yet had a fiscal period in which it realized a profit. The Company believes that in order to realize a profit it must obtain financing to complete its oil well equipment. Without such financing the Company will not be able to put equipment in place that would allow for production to begin. The Company believes that the proceeds from the offering or some other financing are essential to begin producing crude oil and recognize income from its oil field operations.
Our Financial Position
The Company has minimal current resources from which to draw on to execute its business plan. The Company has begun producing crude oil from its leased properties and relies partly on that production to pay its short term obligations. During 2015, the Company produced and sold approximately 747 barrels of crude oil at an average price of $37.41 per barrel. The Company is still relying heavily on its ability to sell the securities contemplated by this offering in order to provide much needed working capital for the execution of its business model. The Company has diligently been making alternative plans for financing separate from the sale of its common stock but has not yet been successful. Our business could fail if we do not obtain adequate financing, resulting in the complete loss of an investment. If we are not successful in earning revenue once we have started our activities, we may require additional financing to sustain our business operations. Currently, we do not have any arrangements for alternative methods of financing and can provide no assurances to investors that we will be able to obtain any when required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the Company's operations results.
No assurance can be given that the Company will obtain access to capital markets in the future or that adequate financing to satisfy the cash requirements of implementing our business model will be available on acceptable terms. The inability of the Company to gain access to capital markets or obtain acceptable financing could have a material adverse effect upon the results of its operations and its financial condition.
Our Proposed Business is Inherently Risky
A significant risk factor directly affecting our business is the price of crude oil at market. The market price at which the Company could sell its oil production to market is the price as stated for "Western Intermediate Light Sweet Crude Oil". Since a low price of about $30 per barrel was reached in 2008, the average price per barrel has fluctuated greatly. The average price per barrel in 2015 was $50.13 per barrel according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration and the average price per barrel for the six months ended June 30, 2016 has fallen below that price level to $38.83. In our plans for recovering oil from our fields, we will need the price of crude oil at market to stay above the price averaged at about $20 per barrel. Below the price of $20 per barrel, we will have to carefully evaluate the timing and the methods we use for recovery of oil and natural gas in order to make the process profitable. Price of oil has fallen significantly in the last five years.
Environmental Impact Including New Legislation
As was discussed earlier in the section "The Business of Our Company", we are an oil and gas production company that uses new processes that allow for the production of oil from existing reservoirs that are residual reserves left after standard methods of relieving oil from known reserves has been exhausted. The new methods involve introducing into the geology of a reservoir, materials that have no known undesirable environmental impact on the geological formation we are operating in. If in the future it is found that a not predictable undesirable impact is related to our oil recovery methods, we may be prevented from using methods we now know to be cost effective and safe such as the methods we now plan to use discussed also in the section "The Business of Our Company". If in any case the method of recover that we choose is found to have undesirable effects on the environment that we operate in or around, it might prevent us from recovering oil in a cost-effective way. Of specific concern on an on-going basis, is how or if our recovery process has any impact on the aquifer (drinking water) system contained in the geological system we are attempting to recover oil in. Any undesirable impact to the drinking water system would have a serious impact on our ability to continue operations.
Reliance on Experts
As was discussed earlier in the section "The Business of Our Company", we are entering existing oil fields where oil reserves exist. The amount and type of reserves we intend to recover are identified and characterized for us by experts in the petroleum business with many years of experience using accepted methods of identifying and characterizing oil reserves in geological formations. We know that previous recovery operations were successful and we know that experts indicate that substantial reserves of crude oil and natural gas remain in the oil field reservoir. What we don't know is how accurate the estimates of the experts are. If in fact the experts' estimates of the amount and characterization of the reserves are that we intend to recover are significantly inaccurate it would have a serious negative impact on our business.
Our Business as a "Going Concern"
In expressing an opinion on our financial statements, our auditor has expressed its opinion as to our business being a "going concern". Such an opinion indicates that the business lacks sufficient liquidity to remain operating as a business entity for the next 12 months. Specifically, if our business fails to raise sufficient capital in order to conduct day-to-day business operations, it will fail to operate completely. At this time, we have no arrangements other than issuing short term debt and this offering to supply working capital needed to conduct day-to-day business. It is possible that additional arrangements can be made above and beyond the offering but those arrangements are not guaranteed.

MANAGMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Overview
North Texas Energy, Inc. is in its early stage of operation. The results of operations show how capital intensive and profitless the oil and gas production business is at early stage. The progress so far has been limited by severely limited access to working capital. One of the most important economic factors in the U.S. economy is the successful exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas. North Texas Energy, Inc. is committing its business and resources to the production of crude oil and natural gas that remains in geological formations in oil fields that have been previously explored and have produced significant amounts of crude oil already. Data and research produced by the Department of Energy indicates that additional significant reserves of crude oil and natural gas remain in fields that were once productive in the past. In recent years and with the price of crude oil steady at about seventy-four dollars per barrel (since 2008), new production methods have emerged as cost-effective in recovering the substantial remaining oil that has not been recovered using standard methods. North Texas Energy, Inc. entered into the business of recovering oil in previously drilled and producing fields in 2009 by acquiring oil and natural gas leases in north Texas. NTE's predecessor operated in year 2010 for a short period of time. During that time, the Company had access to private capital from sales of common stock to shareholders. The capital from investment by private shareholders was limited and sales were terminated late in 2010. The funds invested at that time were used mainly to begin the process of refurbishing wells and preparing well head installations for re-use. The short operations history will show that without on-going sources of working capital, the initial cost of getting wells and drill bores functional to begin the process of recovering oil that remains in the geological formation will not be met and significant delays in recovering the remaining oil would occur. However, the Company has been producing oil on a steady level since January of 2014 and anticipates that production will steadily increase as the Company adds leases and begins operating additional wells. During 2015, the Company has produced and sold approximately 747 barrels of oil for sale at an average price of $37.41 per barrel.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Without additional investment capital from shareholders or other sources, the Company has no short term source of liquidity. In order to bring wells on-line and produce crude oil and natural gas to bring to market, significant amounts of working capital will be needed to continue. Accordingly, the Company plans to systematically bring wells on-line that have the greatest initial production possibility as capital is available. The Company's illiquid financial position could cause it to not be able to continue producing oil in the near future unless working capital from the offering or some other source of short term liquidity is developed.
Until 2013, the Company had no producing operations since inception. There was a nominal revenue produced from oil and gas producing activities since the Company's inception because of a shortage of working capital. Additional working capital is needed to complete the well preparation phase of our business plan and increase the production of oil for market. We have at this time not identified any source other than the offering for the needed liquidity to begin oil and gas production. The production of oil and natural gas in early stage is capital intensive.
In December 2013, the Company began producing crude oil from its oil and gas leases. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had a net loss of $562,626 compared to a net loss of $327,393 for the year ended December 31, 2014.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had a net loss of $126,308. The majority of the loss was attributed to general and administrative expenses of $91,225, primarily related to travel expenses.
Significant amounts of capital and strong liquidity are essential to the success of our oil and gas income producing activities. There is no guarantee that the liquidity and capital produced by the offering depicted in this prospectus will provide sufficient liquidity to begin successful oil and gas production at a level that would sustain self-supplied liquidity depending on the expected production that is estimated in our engineering estimates of reserves. Successful results of operations at this time will depend greatly on our ability to find external sources of liquidity.
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015
For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had net losses of $126,308 and $240,766, respectively.
Revenues
Total production value of the oil for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $6,676 compared to a value of $10,925 for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Operating Expenses
The Company had lease operating expenses of $9,017 and general operating expenses of $123,967 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $75,473 and $176,218, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company incurred more lease operating expenses due to repairing damages to the wells caused by severe weather conditions during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company also incurred more travel expense related to the trips the Company's management made to manage the wells and sell the Company's shares during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
For the Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had a net loss of $562,626 compared to a net loss of $327,393 for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Revenues
For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had revenues of $21,578 and $70,615 respectively, from the sales of crude oil. The Company started to produce crude oil from December 2013 and had its first sale in January 2014. The reason for the decrease is because the wells were shut down for several months during 2015 due to damages caused by the severe weather conditions.
Operating expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had an operating expenses of $584,204 compared to $398,008 for the year ended December 31, 2014. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has lease operating expense of $109,482 and $96,856, respectively. The increase of lease operating expense is mainly because the Company had to do some repairs due to the flooding in the area in 2015. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has legal and professional fees of $237,351 and $88,916, respectively. The increase in legal and professional expense was mainly due to the issuance of 103,000 common shares to obtain geographical maps and professional services. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has general and administrative expenses of $237,371 and $206,793, respectively. The Company incurred more travel expense related to the trips the Company's management made to manage the wells and sell the Company's shares.
Liquidity
The Company began selling its common shares in accordance with its registration statement which became effective on March 29, 2013. On March 29, 2014, the Company filed an amendment of its Prospectus that relates to the common stock sales extending the time past the original one year sales period. The Company will continue to sell shares as allowed and use those funds for the further development of its oil and gas properties. The Company believes that it can continue to sell its common stock and use those funds as well as the funds it generates from crude oil production to continue its operations. The Company has no immediate sources of debt or equity funding that is not related to the offering of its shares. The Company believes it can avoid accumulating debt or using other non-traditional forms of financing to provide liquidity.
At June 30, 2016, our cash balance was $320,684.
Net cash used in operating activities was $147,296 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $185,119 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The change is mainly due to less payments made to the vendors and professional during the current period.
Net cash used in investing activities was $11,645 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $98,645 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The change is mainly due to less drilling activities during the current period.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $465,200 compared to $241,850 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The change is mainly due the Company's receipt of $337,200 for subscriptions of common stock during the current period.
Net cash used in operating activities was $344,994 for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $282,903 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The change is mainly due to more payments made to the vendors and professionals during the current year.
Net cash used in investing activities was $141,357 for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $291,195 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company made less payments to develop oil and gas properties in 2015.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $408,350 compared to $615,600 for the year ended December 31, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company received proceeds from sale of common stock of $403,350 and $615,600, respectively.
Without additional investment capital from shareholders or other sources, the Company has no short term source of liquidity. In order to bring wells on-line and produce crude oil and natural gas to bring to market, significant amounts of working capital will be needed to continue. Accordingly, the Company plans to systematically bring wells on-line that have the greatest initial production possibility as capital is available. The Company's illiquid financial position could cause it to not be able to start producing oil in the near future unless working capital from the offering or some other source of short term liquidity is developed.
Management does not believe that the Company's current capital resources will be sufficient to fund its operating activity and other capital resource demands during the next year. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to obtain capital through the sale of equity or issuance of debt, and ultimately attaining profitable operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully complete any one of these activities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development activities as defined by the SEC. Under this method of accounting, the costs for unsuccessful, as well as successful, exploration and development activities are capitalized as oil and gas properties. Capitalized costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical work, delay rentals, costs of drilling, completing and equipping the wells and any internal costs that are directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities but does not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Proceeds from the sale or other disposition of oil and gas properties are generally treated as a reduction in the capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, unless the impact of such a reduction would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and natural gas attributable to a country.
The Company categorizes its full cost pools as costs subject to amortization and costs not being amortized. The sum of net capitalized costs subject to amortization, including estimated future development and abandonment costs, are amortized using the unit-of-production method.
Oil and gas properties include costs that are excluded from capitalized costs being amortized. These amounts represent costs of investments in unproved properties. The Company excludes these costs on a country-by-country basis until proved reserves are found or until it is determined that the costs are impaired. All costs excluded are reviewed quarterly to determine if impairment has occurred. The amount of any impairment is transferred to the costs subject to amortization.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NORTH TEXAS ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 – Business and Organization
North Texas Energy, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 12, 2011. The Company intends to focus on re-entering non-producing oil fields and re-starting production with existing oil and gas wells. On February 25, 2011, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Remington Oil & Gas, Inc. ("Remington") to acquire Remington's interest in an oil and gas lease in Upshur and Milam County, Texas along with wellhead equipment and certain lease obligations.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of North Texas Energy, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 have been omitted.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. The amount in excess of the FDIC insurance at June 30, 2016 was $70,684.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development activities as defined by the SEC. Under this method of accounting, the costs for unsuccessful, as well as successful, exploration and development activities are capitalized as oil and gas properties. Capitalized costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical work, delay rentals, costs of drilling, completing and equipping the wells and any internal costs that are directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities but does not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Proceeds from the sale or other disposition of oil and gas properties are generally treated as a reduction in the capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, unless the impact of such a reduction would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and natural gas attributable to a country.
The Company categorizes its full cost pools as costs subject to amortization and costs not being amortized. The sum of net capitalized costs subject to amortization, including estimated future development and abandonment costs, are amortized using the unit-of-production method.
Oil and gas properties include costs that are excluded from capitalized costs being amortized. These amounts represent costs of investments in unproved properties. The Company excludes these costs on a country-by-country basis until proved reserves are found or until it is determined that the costs are impaired. All costs excluded are reviewed annually to determine if impairment has occurred. The amount of any impairment is transferred to the costs subject to amortization. The Company currently only owns unproved properties. As of June 30, 2016, management believes that there is no impairment for the Company's unproved oil and gas properties.
Ceiling Test and Impairment
Under the full cost method of accounting, a ceiling test is performed each quarter for proved properties. The full cost ceiling test is an impairment test prescribed by SEC Regulation S-X. The ceiling test determines a limit, on a country-by-country basis, on the book value of oil and gas properties. The capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties, net of accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment("DD&A") and the related deferred income taxes, may not exceed the estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, calculated using the average oil and natural gas sales price received by the Company as of the first trading day of each month over the preceding twelve months (such prices are held constant throughout the life of the properties) with consideration of price change only to the extent provided by contractual arrangement, discounted at 10%, net of related tax effects. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to expense and reflected as additional accumulated DD&A. The Company has no proved properties subject to the full cost ceiling test as of June 30, 2016.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Asset retirement obligations ("ARO") represent the future abandonment costs of tangible assets such as platforms, wells, service assets, pipelines, and other facilities. The fair value of a liability for an asset's retirement obligation is recorded in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and that the corresponding cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its then present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, an adjustment is made to the full cost pool, with no gain or loss recognized, unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. The ARO assets, which are carried on the balance sheet as part of the full cost pool, will be included in our amortization base for the purposes of calculating depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. For the purposes of calculating the ceiling test, the future cash outflows associated with settling the ARO liability is included in the computation of the discounted present value of estimated future net revenues. The liability is adjusted for any changes in the estimate of the liability and for the disposal of previously held oil and gas leases net of accretion expense.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generally sells crude oil and natural gas under short-term agreements at prevailing market prices. Revenues are recognized when the products are delivered, which occurs when the customer has taken title and has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership, prices are fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for the difference between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities as well as operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 the Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance as management has no assurance that deferred tax assets will be realized.
At June 30, 2016, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1.3 million that will expire between 2031 through 2036.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents included in the diluted computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock and "if converted" method. For periods in which net losses are incurred, weighted average shares outstanding is the same for basic and diluted loss per share calculations, as the inclusion of common share equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there are no potentially dilutive shares.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at year-end and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year and the reported amount of proved natural gas and oil reserves. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates and changes in these estimates are recorded when known.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all transactions through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued for subsequent event disclosure consideration.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern. The update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The amendments in this Update is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-15 on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Note 3 – Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations and has generated limited revenue at this time. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. In addition to the offering of securities for sale to the public, the Company currently is diligently searching for other short-term and long-term sources of liquidity for its producing operations.
Note 4 – Oil and Gas Properties
The Company's oil and gas properties at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were located adjacent to each other in the State of Texas in the United States and all in Milam County.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company invested $11,645 in the drilling of new wells.
Note 5 – Accrued Lease Liabilities
The Company has an accrued lease liability to KADs Oil, Inc., the lessor of the leases in Milam County, Texas which the Company currently owns. As a result of the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Remington, the Company assumed the leasehold obligation of $50,000. Payments are to be made when oil and gas is recovered and delivered to market at the rate of 25% of the sale price after all operating expenses.
On May 10, 2011, the Company entered into an oil, gas and mineral lease agreement for its oil and gas properties located in Milam County, Texas. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the Company will pay the lessor $15,881 for the lease which is recorded as an accrued leasehold liability on the Company's balance sheets at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Note 6 – Equity
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company issued 64,000 shares of common stock for cash of $128,000.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company received $337,200 for subscriptions of common stock. Shares for these subscriptions have not been issued yet.
Note 7 – Subsequent Events
Subsequent to June 30, 2016, the company received $7,150 for subscription of 3,575 shares of common stock. These shares have not been issued.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
North Texas Energy, Inc.
Addison, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of North Texas Energy, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended. North Texas Energy, Inc.'s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of North Texas Energy, Inc. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that North Texas Energy, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, North Texas Energy, Inc. has suffered losses from operations and has not secured sufficient funding for its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Business and Organization
North Texas Energy, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 12, 2011. The Company intends to focus on re-entering non-producing oil fields and re-starting production with existing wells. On February 25, 2011, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Remington Oil & Gas, Inc. ("Remington") to acquire Remington's interest in an oil and gas lease in Upshur and Milam County, Texas along with wellhead equipment and certain lease obligations.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and include the accounts of the Company and those of its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying amount net of write-offs and allowance for uncollectible accounts. The carrying amount of the Company's accounts receivable approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments.
The Company's reported balance of accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, represents management's estimate of the amount that ultimately will be realized in cash. The Company reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical payment trends, the age of the receivables and knowledge of the individual customers or joint interest owners. When the analysis indicates, management increases or decreases the allowance accordingly. However, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances might be required.
Inventory
From time to time, crude oil production volumes may be stored as inventory and sold at a later time. Inventory is carried at the lower of production cost or market value. The first-in, first-out method is used for the crude oil inventory.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development activities as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Under this method of accounting, the costs for unsuccessful, as well as successful, exploration and development activities are capitalized as oil and gas properties. Capitalized costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical work, delay rentals, costs of drilling, completing and equipping the wells and any internal costs that are directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities but does not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Proceeds from the sale or other disposition of oil and gas properties are generally treated as a reduction in the capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, unless the impact of such a reduction would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and natural gas attributable to a country.
The Company categorizes its full cost pools as costs subject to amortization and costs not being amortized. The sum of net capitalized costs subject to amortization, including estimated future development and abandonment costs, are amortized using the unit-of-production method.
Oil and gas properties include costs that are excluded from capitalized costs being amortized. These amounts represent costs of investments in unproved properties. The Company excludes these costs on a country-by-country basis until proved reserves are found or until it is determined that the costs are impaired. All costs excluded are reviewed annually to determine if impairment has occurred. The amount of any impairment is transferred to the costs subject to amortization.
Ceiling Test and Impairment
Under the full cost method of accounting, a ceiling test is performed each quarter for proved properties. The full cost ceiling test is an impairment test prescribed by SEC Regulation S-X. The ceiling test determines a limit, on a country-by-country basis, on the book value of oil and gas properties. The capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties, net of accumulated depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment("DD&A") and the related deferred income taxes, may not exceed the estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, calculated using the average oil and natural gas sales price received by the Company as of the first trading day of each month over the preceding twelve months (such prices are held constant throughout the life of the properties) with consideration of price change only to the extent provided by contractual arrangement, discounted at 10%, net of related tax effects. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to expense and reflected as additional accumulated DD&A. The Company has no proved properties subject to the full cost ceiling test as of December 31, 2015.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Asset retirement obligations ("ARO") represent the future abandonment costs of tangible assets such as platforms, wells, service assets, pipelines, and other facilities. The fair value of a liability for an asset's retirement obligation is recorded in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and that the corresponding cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its then present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, an adjustment is made to the full cost pool, with no gain or loss recognized, unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. The ARO assets, which are carried on the balance sheet as part of the full cost pool, will be included in our amortization base for the purposes of calculating depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. For the purposes of calculating the ceiling test, the future cash outflows associated with settling the ARO liability is included in the computation of the discounted present value of estimated future net revenues.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes sales revenues for crude oil based on the amount sold to purchasers when delivery to the purchaser has occurred and title has transferred. This occurs when a tanker lifting has occurred.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for the difference between the financial reporting and income tax basis of assets and liabilities as well as operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance as management believes it is likely that no deferred tax assets will be realized.
At December 31, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1.2 million that will expire between 2031 through 2035.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents included in the diluted computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock and "if converted" method. For periods in which net losses are incurred, weighted average shares outstanding is the same for basic and diluted loss per share calculations, as the inclusion of common share equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no potentially dilutive shares.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at year-end and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year and the reported amount of proved natural gas and oil reserves. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates and changes in these estimates are recorded when known.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all transactions through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued for subsequent event disclosure consideration.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Note 3 - Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations, has not generated significant revenue and has not secured continuous funding for the operation of its oil and gas producing activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. In addition to the offering of securities for sale to the public, the Company currently is diligently searching for other short-term and long-term sources of liquidity for its producing operations.
Note 4 – Oil and Gas Properties, Full Cost Method
The Company's oil and gas properties at December 31, 2015 and 2014 are located in the State of Texas in the United States and are all in Milam County.
During 2014, the Company transferred $1,395,848 from costs subject to amortization to unproved properties as the wells were only producing insignificant volumes of crude oil.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company added two additional oil and gas leases. The added leases contain a total of five wells. The Company paid $6,133 and $8,720, respectively, as cash consideration for the acquisition of the leases.
On October 10, 2014, the Company also entered into a lease agreement to lease an additional 221 acres in Milam County. The Company paid $11,083 for the additional lease and as of December 31, 2015, the Company has not execute the drilling permit.
For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company invested $141,357 and $235,263, respectively, in the development of its oil and gas infrastructure and wells and acquisition of new lease properties discussed above.
Note 5 – Accrued Lease Liabilities
The Company has an accrued lease liability to KADs Oil, Inc., the lessor of the Company's leases in both Upshur and Milam County, Texas. As a result of the Purchase and Sale Agreement with Remington, the Company assumed the leasehold obligation of $50,000. Payments are to be made when oil and gas is recovered and delivered to market at the rate of 25% of the sale price after all operating expenses. No payment has been made as of December 31, 2015.
On May 10, 2011, the Company entered into an oil, gas and mineral lease agreement for its oil and gas properties located in Milam County, Texas. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the Company will pay the lessor $15,881 for the lease which is recorded as an accrued leasehold liability on the Company's balance sheets at December 31, 2015 and 2014.
