SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES As of December 31,2015, the Company’s significant accounting policies were consistent with those discussed in the unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2015. Basis of Consolidation - These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 94% owned subsidiary, Seabourn Oil Company, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Oil and Gas Properties The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, excluding unevaluated and unproved properties, are amortized as depreciation, depletion and amortization expense using the units-of-production method based on estimated proved recoverable oil and gas reserves. The costs associated with unevaluated and unproved properties, initially excluded from the amortization base, relate to unproved leasehold acreage, wells and production facilities in progress and wells pending determination of the existence of proved reserves, together with capitalized interest costs for these projects. Unproved leasehold costs are transferred to the amortization base with the costs of drilling the related well once a determination of the existence of proved reserves has been made or upon impairment of a lease. Costs associated with wells in progress and completed wells that have yet to be evaluated are transferred to the amortization base once a determination is made whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the property. Costs of dry wells are transferred to the amortization base immediately upon determination that the well is unsuccessful. All items classified as unproved property are assessed on a quarterly basis for possible impairment or reduction in value. Properties are assessed on an individual basis or as a group if properties are individually insignificant. The assessment includes consideration of various factors, including, but not limited to, the following: intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; assignment of proved reserves; and economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. During any period in which these factors indicate an impairment, the cumulative drilling costs incurred to date for such property and all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are transferred to the full cost pool and become subject to amortization. Under full cost accounting rules for each cost center, capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties, including asset retirement costs, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, may not exceed an amount (the "cost ceiling") equal to the sum of (a) the present value of future net cash flows from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves, based on current prices and operating conditions, discounted at ten percent (10%), plus (b) the cost of properties not being amortized, plus (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of any unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, less (d) any income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties involved. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to operations. For purposes of the ceiling test calculation, current prices are defined as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month price for each month within the 12 month period prior to the end of the reporting period. Prices are adjusted for basis or location differentials. Unless sales contracts specify otherwise, prices are held constant for the productive life of each well. Similarly, current costs are assumed to remain constant over the entire calculation period. Given the volatility of oil and gas prices, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves could change in the near term. If oil and gas prices decline in the future, even if only for a short period of time, it is possible that impairments of oil and gas properties could occur. In addition, it is reasonably possible that impairments could occur if costs are incurred in excess of any increases in the present value of future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, or if properties are sold for proceeds less than the discounted present value of the related proved oil and gas reserves. Revenue Recognition Asset Retirement Obligations Inherent in the fair value calculation of an ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the fair value of the existing ARO liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. Settlements greater than or less than amounts accrued as ARO are recorded as a gain or loss upon settlement. Capitalized Interest On May 27, 2015, the Company incorporated a limited liability corporation in the State of Texas called Seabourn Oil Company, LLC (“Seabourn LLC”) for the purpose of acquiring certain oil and gas leases. On May 27, 2015 Seabourn completed the acquisition of the leases from Nelaco Operating Company, Inc., a company controlled by Mr. Joe Seabourn, a member of our board of directors. Under the terms of the assignment and bill of sale, Seabourn LLC acquired a 100% working interest and an 80% net revenue interest in a total of 960 acres located in two tracts in Callahan County, Texas. Under the terms of the agreements Mr. Seabourn retains a 6% ownership interest in Seabourn LLC. The Company capitalized this property at a nominal value of $100 in respect of the transaction due to the fact that Mr. Seabourn was unable to provide historical cost for the acquired lease land. On June 10, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Zheng Xiangwu (“Zheng”), a resident of Guang Dong Province, China, and the Company’s controlling shareholder ( see Note 5 ), whereby the Company issued 4 million shares of its common stock in exchange for rights to certain oil and gas leases located in Frio and Atascosa Counties, Texas, consisting of a total of 714 total acres of land, two (2) working wells and a total of seven (7) wells (the “Leases”). The 4 million shares were valued at Zheng’s historical cost totalling $160,000. The transaction closed on June 12, 2015. On June 11, 2015 the Company entered into various assignment agreements for the acquisition of multiple oil and gas leases and ORR’s as set out in the table below. On July 6 and July 9, 2015 respectively the Company concluded Asset Purchase Agreements with respect to the aforementioned assignments whereunder the Company issued a total of 650,000 shares of its common stock to Mr. Zheng. The Company valued the transaction at the market price of the shares as at the date of issue, or $0.15 per share for a total value of $97,500. The Company capitalized the historical cost of the acquired assets totaling $51,263 and recorded a loss on acquisition of $46,237.

In respect of the acquired leases the Company issued a total of 500,000 shares of common stock on the closing date, August 19, 2015 which shares were valued at market price on the date of the transaction, totaling $448,500, which amount was capitalized. As at September 30, 2015 the Company evaluated the capitalized value of the leases and determined to impair the amount in full due to the fact that the Company had no historical cost basis for the leases, and no immediate development plans for the lease land. A total of $448,500 has been expensed as Impairment loss on oil and gas lease in the current quarter. During the period the Company completed various workovers and other improvements to certain of its existing wellbores, which amounts totaling $ 77,044 were capitalized under Proved Properties. |
