1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued) |
The Company does pay franchise taxes, which are considered income taxes under the authoritative guidance. The tax jurisdictions which impose a franchise tax include the state of Texas; at September 30, 2018, the Company had a net franchise tax payable balance of$80,505, which is included in its unaudited combined balance sheet.
Other relevant state tax jurisdictions include the filing of composite tax returns for the states of Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. These returns are filed to eliminate the need fornon-residents to file an individual tax return on their earnings from a resident company. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had a net prepaid balance of$332,035 related to state income taxes.
The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB,Accounting Standards Codification 740,“Income Taxes (ASC 740)”, effective January 1, 2009. ASC 740 provides guidance regarding the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure in its unaudited combined financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, including the decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require the Company management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Company and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Company has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company’s management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Company, and has concluded that as of September 30, 2018 , there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in its unaudited combined financial statements. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Company’s management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2014.
Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable.
The Company’s financial condition, and results of operations, are highly dependent upon the prevailing market prices of, and demand for, oil and natural gas. The Company cannot predict future oil and gas demand with any degree of certainty. Sustained weakness in the oil and gas markets may adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.
