The accompanying notes are an integral part of the financial statements.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| NOTE 1. | SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Principles of Consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of subsidiaries the Corporation controls.
Majority ownership is normally the indicator of control that is the basis on which subsidiaries are consolidated. However, certain factors may indicate that a majority-owned investment is not controlled and therefore should be accounted for using the equity method of accounting. These factors occur where the minority shareholders are granted by law or by contract substantive participating rights. These include the right to approve operating policies, expense budgets, financing and investment plans, and management compensation and succession plans.
Evidence of loss in value that might indicate impairment of investments in companies accounted for on the equity method is assessed to determine if such evidence represents a loss in value of the Corporation’s investment that is other than temporary. Examples of key indicators include a history of operating losses, a negative earnings and cash flow outlook, significant downward revisions to oil and gas reserves, and the financial condition and prospects for the investee’s business segment or geographic region. If evidence of an other than temporary loss in fair value below carrying amount is determined, an impairment is recognized. In the absence of market prices for the investment, discounted cash flows are used to assess fair value.
Revenue Recognition. The Corporation generally sells crude oil, natural gas and petroleum under short-term agreements at prevailing market prices. In some cases (e.g., natural gas), products may be sold under long-term agreements, with periodic price adjustments. 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 collectibility is reasonably assured.
Derivative Instruments. The Corporation makes no use of derivative instruments. The Corporation does not engage in speculative derivative activities or derivative trading activities, nor does it use derivatives with leveraged features.
Fair Value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Hierarchy Levels 1, 2 and 3 are terms for the priority of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Hierarchy Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. HierarchyLevel 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Hierarchy Level 3 inputs are inputs that are not observable in the market.
Property, Plant and Equipment. Depreciation, depletion and amortization, based on cost less estimated salvage value of the asset, are primarily determined under either the unit-of-production method or the straight-line method, which is based on estimated asset service life taking obsolescence into consideration. Maintenance and repairs, including planned major maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and the assets replaced are retired.
Interest costs incurred to finance expenditures during the construction phase of multiyear projects are capitalized as part of the historical cost of acquiring the constructed assets. The project construction phase commences with the development of the detailed engineering design and ends when the constructed assets are ready for their intended use. Capitalized interest costs are included in property, plant and equipment and are depreciated over the service life of the related assets.
The Corporation uses the “successful efforts” method to account for its exploration and production activities. Under this method, costs are accumulated on a field-by-field basis with certain exploratory expenditures and exploratory dry holes being expensed as incurred. Costs of productive wells and development dry holes are capitalized and amortized on the unit-of-production method.
The Corporation carries as an asset exploratory well costs when the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and where the Corporation is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. Exploratory well costs not meeting these criteria are charged to expense. Other exploratory expenditures, including geophysical costs and annual lease rentals, are expensed as incurred.
Acquisition costs of proved properties are amortized using a unit-of-production method, computed on the basis of total proved oil and gas reserves.
Capitalized exploratory drilling and development costs associated with productive depletable extractive properties are amortized using unit-of-production rates based on the amount of proved developed reserves of oil, gas and other minerals that are estimated to be recoverable from existing facilities using current operating methods.
Under the unit-of-production method, oil and gas volumes are considered produced once they have been measured through meters at custody transfer or sales transaction points at the outlet valve on the lease or field storage tank.
Production involves lifting the oil and gas to the surface and gathering, treating, field processing and field storage of the oil and gas. The production function normally terminates at the outlet valve on the lease or field production storage tank. Production costs are those incurred to operate and maintain the Corporation’s wells and related equipment and facilities and are expensed as incurred. They become part of the cost of oil and gas produced. These costs, sometimes referred to as lifting costs, include such items as labor costs to operate the wells and related equipment; repair and maintenance costs on the wells and equipment; materials, supplies and energy costs required to operate the wells and related equipment; and administrative expenses related to the production activity.
Proved oil and gas properties held and used by the Corporation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets.
The Corporation estimates the future undiscounted cash flows of the affected properties to judge the recoverability of carrying amounts. Cash flows used in impairment evaluations are developed using annually updated corporate plan investment evaluation assumptions for crude oil commodity prices, refining and chemical margins and foreign currency exchange rates. Annual volumes are based on field production profiles,which are also updated annually. Prices for natural gas and other products are based on corporate plan assumptions developed annually by major region and also for investment evaluation purposes. Cash flow estimates for impairment testing exclude derivative instruments.
Impairment analyses are generally based on proved reserves. Where probable reserves exist, an appropriately risk-adjusted amount of these reserves may be included in the impairment evaluation. An asset group would be impaired if the undiscounted cash flows were less than its carrying value. Impairments are measured by the amount the carrying value exceeds fair value.
Significant unproved properties are assessed for impairment individually, and valuation allowances against the capitalized costs are recorded based on the estimated economic chance of success and the length of time that the Corporation expects to hold the properties. Properties that are not individually significant are aggregated by groups and amortized based on development risk and average holding period. The valuation allowances are reviewed at least annually.
Gains on sales of proved and unproved properties are only recognized when there is neither uncertainty about the recovery of costs applicable to any interest retained nor any substantial obligation for future performance by the Corporation.
Losses on properties sold are recognized when incurred or when the properties are held for sale and the fair value of the properties is less than the carrying value.
Asset Retirement Obligations and Environmental Liabilities. The Corporation incurs retirement obligations for certain assets. The fair values of these obligations are recorded as liabilities on a discounted basis, which is typically at the time the assets are installed. The costs associated with these liabilities are capitalized as part of the related assets and depreciated. Over time, the liabilities are accreted for the change in their present value.
Liabilities for environmental costs are recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. These liabilities are not reduced by possible recoveries from third parties and projected cash expenditures are not discounted.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Corporation selects the United States Dollar as the functional reporting currency for it’s based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which each subsidiary operates.
For all operations, gains or losses from remeasuring foreign currency transactions into the functional currency are included in income.
| NOTE 2. | GOING CONCERN |
The Company sustained operating losses since inception. It has losses at December 31, 2014 and 2013 of $1,304,757 and $2,278,844, respectively. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $7,191,084 since inception. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and/or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from stockholders and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations.
There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a growing concern.
Management has developed specific current and long-term plans to address its viability as a going concern as follows:
| · | Upon registration, the Company will attempt to raise funds through equity offerings. If successful, these funds will be used to provide working capital. |
| · | In the longer term, the Company believes the cash flows from growth in its operations will provide resources for continued operations. |
There can be no assurance the Company will have the ability to implement its business plan and to ultimately attain profitability. The Company’s long-term viability as a going concern is dependent upon three key factors:
| · | The Company’s ability to obtain adequate sources of equity funding to meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operation in the near term. |
| · | The ability of the Company to control costs and expand revenues. |
| · | The ability of the Company to ultimately achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations. |

Revenues
At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Woodgate had limited revenues of gas sales in the amount of $ 0 and $437 and had limited income or cash flows from operations. The continuation of Woodgate as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from its stockholders or its ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations.
Earnings Per Share
At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the company recorded losses of $148,379 and $1,304,757, respectively. This resulted in Earnings Per Share of ($0.00) and ($0.00) for those respective period ends. The majority of these losses are attributable to operational expenses incurred by the subsidiaries of the Company.
Litigation and other Contingencies
Management has regular litigation reviews, including updates from corporate and outside counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The Company accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For purposes of our contingency disclosures, “significant” includes material matters as well as other matters which management believes should be disclosed. Woodgate Energy Corporation will continue to defend itself vigorously in these matters. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, the Company does not believe the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuit against Woodgate Energy Corporation will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s operations, financial condition, or financial statements taken as a whole.
On April 16, 2009, Noram Drilling Company filed an original complaint against E & P Co. International, LLC and E & P Co., LLC in the 37th District Court of Louisiana, arguing E & P Co., LLC was liable for breach of contract by E & P Co., LLC under the theory of single enterprise liability. The Company argues no such single enterprise liability exists as the contract is to be construed under Texas law. On January 16, 2013, the 37th District Court in the Parish of Caldwell, Louisiana, the court granted E & P Co., LLC’s Motion for Summary Judgment, holding the Company not to be a party to the drilling contract. The Court further denied NorAm’s Motion for Summary Judgment for damages. On December 11, 2013, the Court of Appeals of the Second Circuit of the State of Louisiana affirmed the trial court’s finding.
At this time, the company is subject to no legal proceedings and the Company is unaware of any proceedings contemplated against it.

Management’s judgment regarding the project’s capitalization of exploration well costs is based upon its current inability to estimate reserves. Currently, the project requires additional investment and approximately six months production history at substantially higher rates before an appropriate valuation of proved reserves may be made.
