Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Organization and business West Texas Resources, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on December 9, 2010 under the name Texas Resources Energy, Inc., a Texas corporation. On June 30, 2011, the Company changed its name to West Texas Resources, Inc. The Company intends to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties in North America. From its inception, the Company has devoted its activities to developing a business plan, raising capital and acquiring operating assets. Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, for the respective periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the year as a whole. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended September 30, 2015. Going concern The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) that contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not earned any significant revenues since inception. During the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred a net loss of $66,441 and $101,785, respectively. In addition, the Company had an accumulative deficit of $2,446,773 and $2,380,332, as of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will require up to $1 million of additional capital in order to fund its proposed operations over the next 12 months. Management plans to continue to seek sources of financing on favorable terms; however, there are no assurances that any such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all. Management expects to monitor and control the Companys operating costs until cash is available through financing or operating activities. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving these plans. The Company anticipates that losses will continue until such time, if ever, as the Company is able to generate sufficient revenues to support its operations. Oil and gas properties The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed. Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are amortized based on the Company's experience of successful drilling and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated residual salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method. On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income. On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained. Impairment of long-lived assets The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-35, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Asset retirement obligations ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations Except for the Eastland County investment, the asset retirement obligations for the other properties are recognized by the operators of these properties and deducted against the revenue interest of the Company. Cash, cash equivalents, and other cash flow statement supplemental information Cash is commonly considered to consist of currency and demand in deposits. The Company considers all liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit its concentration of risk exposure. Management believes this risk is not significant due to the financial strength of the financial institutions utilized by the Company. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Income taxes The Company reports certain expenses differently for financial and tax reporting purposes and, accordingly, provides for the related deferred taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by the Company in its Federal and State tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. Federal and State tax authorities from 2012 to the present, generally for three years after they are filed. The Company has not filed its income tax returns for fiscal years 2012 to 2014. The Company plans to file these tax returns in second quarter of 2016. The Company believes that it should not have any material impact on the financials because the Company did not have any tax liabilities due to net loss incurred for these years. Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share Basic net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. For the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, all common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive. Stock-based payments Compensation costs for all share-based awards are measured based on the grant date fair value and are recognized over the vesting period. The Company has no awards with market or performance conditions. Excess tax benefits will be recognized as an addition to additional paid-in-capital. Revenue recognition In accordance with the requirements ASC topic 605 Revenue Recognition, revenues are recognized at such time as (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Fair value of financial instruments The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash and other current assets and liabilities to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization. The Company has also adopted ASC 820-10 which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows: · Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. · Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. · Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, the Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with the current year presentation. Recent accounting pronouncement In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard that requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a decrease in a deferred tax asset where a net operating loss, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists and certain criteria are met. The new accounting standard is effective as of October 1, 2014 and is consistent with the Companys present practice. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 " Revenue from Contracts with Customers " (Topic 606). Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments create a new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred CostsContracts with Customers. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For a public entity, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on Companys financial position and statement of operations. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)," which makes amendments to the codification topic 718, "Accounting for Share-Based Payments. when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The new guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations. In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern, Subtopic 205-40, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities and require management to assess an entitys ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of managements plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of managements plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on Companys financial position and results of operations. |
