ERHC ENERGY INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND BUSINESS ORGANIZATION
The consolidated financial statements included herein, which have not been audited pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods on a basis consistent with the annual audited financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for an entire year. Certain information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although ERHC Energy Inc. ("ERHC" or the "Company") believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.
Recent accounting pronouncements
There have been no recently issued accounting pronouncements that have had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company adopted new guidance as of October 1, 2008, related to the measurement of the fair value of certain of its financial assets required to be measured on a recurring basis. Under the new guidance, based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
| ● | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or, other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
Interest income on cash and cash equivalents is recognized as earned on the accrual basis.
Investments are accounted for as available for sale securities and reported at fair value, determined based on the quoted prices in an active market for identical assets and classified as Level 1 under the ASC 820.
During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company's investment in the common stock and warrants of OER, a Canadian oil and gas company that trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) decreased in value by $240,746. This decrease in value is included as a decrease in stockholders' equity in accumulated other comprehensive income.
During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued a number of convertible notes payable, and identified derivatives related to these notes. ERHC classifies its derivative liabilities as Level 3 and values them using the methods discussed in Note 5. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed in Note 5 are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.
As of March 31, 2015, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.
The derivative liability as of March 31, 2015, in the amount of $715,305 has a level 3 classification.
The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company's Level 3 financial liabilities as of March 31, 2015:
| | Derivative Liability | |
| | | |
Balance at September 30, 2014 | | $ | 1,021,942 | |

In October, 2013, the Company entered into a farm-out agreement with CEPSA Kenya Limited, an affiliate of Compañía Española de Petróleos, S.A.U., an international oil and gas company ("CEPSA"). Under the terms of this agreement, the Company assigned and transferred 55% of its participating interest in Kenya Block 11A to CEPSA. In connection with this farm-out, the Company recognized a gain of $239,515 of reimbursement of exploration costs incurred during the six months ended March 31, 2015.
In exchange for the transferred rights, CEPSA will carry the Company's proportionate share of obligations and financial costs under the terms and conditions outlined in the farm-out agreement.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
As described in Notes 4 and 6, the Company has identified embedded derivatives in notes payables and outstanding warrants.
The fair value of the embedded derivatives related to the convertible notes payable, comprising conversion feature with the reset provisions and the default provisions, at issuance and March 31, 2015 was determined using the multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liability based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. These models are based on future projections of the various potential outcomes and utilize the following assumptions:
| · | The stock price would fluctuate with the Company projected volatility; |
| · | The Derivative Convertible Notes (held by JMJ Financial, LG Capital, Adar Bay, Vista Capital Investment, Tonaquint Inc., KBM Worldwide, JSJ Investments, Iconic Holding LLC, Macallan Partners LLC, Union Capital, Auctus Private, Redwood Fund III, Cardinal Capital Group, Inc. and Chrome Oil Service Limited ) convert at 40% to 60% of the market prices; |
| · | An event of default would occur initially 0% of the time, increasing 1.00% per month until it reaches 10%; |
| · | The projected volatility curve for each valuation period was based on the historical volatility of the Company, ranging between 101% and 108%; |
| · | The Company would redeem the notes initially 0% of the time, and increase monthly by 1.00% to a maximum of 5.00%; |
| · | The holders of the notes would automatically convert the notes at the maximum of two times the conversion price if the Company is not in default, with the target conversion price dropping as maturity approaches; and |
| · | The Holder would convert the note early after 0-90-180 days and at maturity if the registration was effective and the Company was not in default. |
As discussed in Note 3, the Company issued convertible notes payable that provide for the issuance of convertible notes with variable conversion provisions. The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the Company's common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based on the future price of the Company's common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the promissory note is indeterminate. Due to the fact that the number of shares of common stock issuable could exceed the Company's authorized share limit, all additional convertible debentures and warrants are included in the value of the derivative. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair values of the variable conversion option and warrants and shares to be issued were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date.
The fair value of the embedded derivatives related to the tainted outstanding warrants, comprising exercise feature with the full ratchet reset, at March 31, 2015 was determined using the lattice models that value the derivative liability based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. These models are based on future projections of the various potential outcomes and utilize the following assumptions:
| · | The stock price would fluctuate with the Company projected volatility; |
| · | The stock price would fluctuate with an annual volatility. The projected volatility curve for each valuation period was based on the historical volatility of the Company, ranging between 101% and 103%; |
| · | The Holder would exercise the warrant as they become exercisable at target prices of two times the higher of the projected reset price or stock price; |
| · | The Warrants with the $0.355; $0.28; and $0.275 exercise prices are fixed and not projected to adjust; and |
| · | The Feltang Warrants have expired in the period ending December 31, 2014 without being exercised. |
The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date which at March 31, 2014 was an aggregate of $715,305.
During six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded an aggregate $65,749 gain on change in fair value of derivative liabilities and a $1,259,260 day 1 loss upon recognition of these derivatives. See Note 3 for more information.
NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized compensation expense of $8,400 related to service granted to the Board of Directors in fiscal year 2014.
During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of 574,083,793 shares of common stock for conversion of convertible debt with total valued at $3,570,732.
As of March 31, 2015, there are 4,150,000 options outstanding; none of which are exercisable. These options have a weighted average remaining term of six days and an intrinsic value of zero. Unamortized compensation cost related to these options amounted to $0.
During the six months ended March 31, 2015, there were no new warrants granted and none were exercised, cancelled or expired. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has 7,277,729 outstanding and exercisable warrants with a weighted average exercise price and remaining term of $0.32 per share and 1.0 years, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, these warrants have an intrinsic value of zero.
NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
COMMITMENTS UNDER PRODUCTION SHARE CONTRACTS
Republic of Kenya Concession Fees and Other Financial Commitments
On June 28, 2012, ERHC entered into a production sharing contract ("PSC") with the Government of the Republic of Kenya for certain land based hydrocarbon exploration and production of Block 11A located in northwestern Kenya.
In October, 2013, the Company entered into a farm-out agreement with CEPSA Kenya Limited, an affiliate of Compañía Española de Petróleos, S.A.U., an international oil and gas company ("CEPSA"). Under the terms of this agreement, the Company assigned and transferred 55% of its participating interest in Kenya Block 11A to CEPSA. In exchange for the transferred rights, CEPSA will carry the Company's proportionate share of obligations and financial costs under the terms and conditions outlined in the farm-out agreement. The agreement was approved in January 2014 by the Kenyan Government and from February 2014, CEPSA took over from ERHC as operator under the production sharing contract ("PSC") for Kenya Block 11A.
Republic of Chad Concession Fees and Other Financial Commitments
On June 30, 2011, ERHC entered into a production sharing contract ("PSC") with Chad for certain onshore hydrocarbon exploration and development. In September 2013, the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum of Chad approved ERHC's application to voluntarily relinquish two of the three Blocks covered by the PSC.
As of March 31, 2015, ERHC has paid or incurred:
a. | $2,000,000 as the entire signature bonus |
b. | $320,600 in advisers' and ancillary costs related to the PSC |
c. | $480,000 as legal fees and costs for the drafting and negotiation of the PSC, as provided for in the PSC |
d. | $190,872 as costs of Environmental Impact Study, as provided for in the PSC |
e. | $448,000 on Aeromagnetic data acquisition survey, in fulfilment of work program obligations under the PSC |
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
JDZ Blocks 5 and 6
Lawsuit
The Company's rights in JDZ Blocks 5 and 6 are currently the subject of legal proceedings at the London Court of International Arbitration and the Federal High Court in Abuja, Nigeria. The Company instituted both proceedings in November 2008 against the JDA and the Governments of Nigeria and Săo Tomé and Príncipe. The Company seeks legal clarification that its rights in the two Blocks remain intact.
The issue in contention is contractual. The Company was awarded a 15 percent working interest in each of the Blocks in a 2004/5 bid/licensing round conducted by the JDA following the Company's exercise of preferential rights in the Blocks as guaranteed by contract and treaty. The JDA and the Government of STP contend that certain correspondence issued by a previous CEO/President of the Company in 2006 amount to a relinquishment of the Company's rights in Blocks 5 and 6 under the Company's contracts with STP which provide for the rights. The Company contends that no such relinquishment has occurred and has sought recourse to arbitration accordingly. It also filed the suit to prevent any tampering with its said rights in JDZ Blocks 5 and 6 pending the outcome of arbitration.
Proceedings on the suit and the arbitration are currently suspended while the Company pursues amicable settlement with the Governments of Nigeria and Săo Tomé & Príncipe.
Routine Claims
From time to time, ERHC may be subject to routine litigation, claims, or disputes in the ordinary course of business. ERHC intends to defend these matters vigorously. The Company cannot predict with certainty, however, the outcome or effect of any of the arbitration or litigation specifically described above or any other pending litigation or claims.

Overview
ERHC Energy Inc., a Colorado corporation, ("ERHC" or the "Company") was incorporated in 1986. The Company is in the business of exploration for oil and gas resources in Africa. The Company's business includes working interests in exploration acreage in the Republic of Kenya ("Kenya"), the Republic of Chad ("Chad"), the Joint Development Zone ("JDZ") between the Democratic Republic of Săo Tomé and Príncipe ("STP"), the Federal Republic of Nigeria ("FRN" or "Nigeria"), and the exclusive economic zone of Săo Tomé and Príncipe (the "Exclusive Economic Zone" or "EEZ").
ERHC's strategy in Kenya and Chad is to perform exploration work and further establish the prospectivity of assets acquired through Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) with the governments of both countries. ERHC found a farm-out partner for its interests in Kenya, and is currently seeking for a partner for its interests in Chad. ERHC expects that such farm-in arrangements, if entered into, might lower the risk and cost of the exploration programs to ERHC.
The Company's strategy in the JDZ and EEZ is to farm out its working interests to well established oil and gas operators for valuable consideration including upfront cash payments and being carried for ERHC's share of the exploration costs. This has already been done successfully on Blocks 2, 3 and 4 of the JDZ where ERHC has benefited from partnerships with Addax Petroleum and Sinopec Corporation, which have operated some of the license areas on behalf of ERHC.
Apart from its oil and gas exploration activities in Kenya, Chad, the JDZ and the EEZ, ERHC continues to pursue other oil and gas opportunities on the African continent. These opportunities also include the possible acquisition of significant equity stakes in other oil and gas exploration and production companies and the resulting indirect interest in the underlying exploration and production assets of such other companies.
REPUBLIC OF KENYA
ERHC Kenya Acreage
In June 2012, after months of negotiations between ERHC and the Government of Kenya, the Government awarded Block 11A for oil and gas exploration and development in Kenya to the Company. On June 28, 2012, the Company announced that it had signed a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) on Block 11A with the Government of Kenya. A PSC is an agreement that governs the relationship between ERHC (and any future joint-venture partners) and the Government of Kenya in respect of exploration and production in the Block awarded to the Company. The PSC details, among other things, the work commitments (including acquisition of data, drilling of wells, social projects, etc.), the time frame for completion of the work commitments, production sharing between the parties and the Government, and how the costs of exploration, development and production will be recovered.
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/10-Q/0001140361-15-020018/image1.jpg)
By virtue of the PSC, the Company acquired a 90% interest in Block 11A, which encompasses 11,950.06 square kilometers or 2.95 million square acres. The Government of Kenya has a 10% carried participating interest up to the declaration of commerciality and may thereafter acquire an additional 10% interest in the PSC in which case the total Government participation would rise to 20%.
Circle Oil Limited (www.circleoilandgas.com) ("Circle") acted as finder in ERHC's acquisition of the Block by facilitating ERHC's entry into Kenya, including the introduction of Dr. Peter Thuo, ERHC's Kenya-based geoscientist and technical adviser who provided liaison services in the pursuit of ERHC's application. Circle's involvement provided significant efficiencies, including substantial cost savings, in ERHC's application process. By virtue of the terms of the business finder's agreement reached between Circle and ERHC, Circle is entitled to receive a 5% payment on the value of the acquisition accruing resulting to ERHC from the application. Circle has opted to receive this fee in the form of a carried 5% of ERHC's total interest in Block 11A.
In October, 2013, ERHC entered into a farm-out agreement with CEPSA Kenya Limited, an affiliate of Compañía Española de Petróleos, S.A.U., an international oil and gas company ("CEPSA"). The farm-out agreement was approved by the Government of the Republic of Kenya during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Under terms of the agreement, ERHC transferred a majority of its interest in Kenya Block 11A as well as operatorship to CEPSA. The farm-out agreement includes a carry and other considerations.

1 CEPSA is carrying ERHC's proportionate share of exploration costs except for the first exploration well where ERHC is expected to contribute 25% of its proportionate (35%) share of costs..
As of March 31, 2015, the exploration team is making steady progress toward drilling during the current phase of exploration. 2D seismic mapping has been completed. To date, two basins, Tarach and Anam, in the eastern and western parts of the block respectively, have been identified. 12 drillable prospects have been mapped in the Tarach Basin alone. Volumetric calculations and risk analyses have been completed leading to a total mean resource estimate of 640 MMBO. The technical team agreed on drilling Tarach-1 as the first exploratory well with a mean resource estimate of 65.78 MMBO during the first quarter of 2016 if all conditions precedent are met. Seismic interpretation of the Anam Basin will start later in 2015.
The Company continues to work with Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC (DCF) on a further farm-down of our interest in the Block to help raise funds for the company.
REPUBLIC OF CHAD
ERHC's Chad Acreage
On July 6, 2011, the Company announced that it had signed a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) on the three oil blocks with the Government of Chad. A PSC is an agreement that governs the relationship between ERHC (and any future joint-venture partners) and the Government of Chad in respect of exploration and production in the Blocks awarded to the Company. The initial period of exploration commenced on July 12, 2012 with the publication, in Chadian Government's Gazette Principal, of the Exclusive Exploration Authorization, granted to ERHC by the Government of Chad.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company received the arrêté (decree) of the President of Chad giving presidential seal of approval to the Company's request to obtain oil exploration Block BDS 2008 and its voluntary relinquishment of the Manga and Chari-Ouest III Blocks.
Focus Areas
Block BDS 2008 measures 41,800 square kilometers or 10,329,000 acres. ERHC's technical team has identified two focus areas within the Block:
- North of Esso's Tega and Maku discoveries in the Doseo basin; and
- East of and on trend with OPIC's Benoy-1 margin discovery in the Doba basin.

NIGERIA – SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE JOINT DEVELOPMENT ZONE ("JDZ")
Background of the JDZ
In the spring of 2001, Sao Tome & Principe and Nigeria signed a treaty establishing a JDZ for the joint development of petroleum and other resources in the overlapping area of their respective maritime boundaries. The treaty also established an administrative body, the Joint Development Authority ("JDA"), to administer the treaty and all activities in the JDZ. Revenues derived from the JDZ will be shared 60:40 between the governments of Nigeria and Săo Tomé & Príncipe, respectively. The JDZ lies approximately 180 kilometers south of Nigeria, in the Gulf of Guinea, one of the most prolific hydrocarbon regions of the world.
ERHC's Rights in the JDZ
In April 2003, the Company and STP entered into an Option Agreement (the "2003 Option Agreement") in which the Company relinquished significant prior legal rights and financial interests in the Joint Development Zone ("JDZ") in exchange for preferential exploration rights in the JDZ. Following the exercise of ERHC's rights as set forth in the 2003 Option Agreement, the JDA confirmed the award in 2004 of participating interests ("Original Participating Interest") in each of JDZ Blocks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9 of the JDZ during the 2004/5 licensing round conducted by the JDA. ERHC also jointly bid with internationally recognized technical partners for additional participating interests in the JDZ during the 2004/5 licensing round. As a result of the joint bid, ERHC won additional participating interests ("Joint Bid Participating Interest") in Blocks 2, 3 and 4. The following is a tabulation of ERHC's participating interests in the JDZ.
JDZ Block | | | ERHC Original Participating Interest | | | ERHC Joint Bid Participating Interest | | | Participating Interest(s) Assigned | | | Current ERHC Retained Participating Interest | |

ERHC's Participating Agreements in the JDZ
The following are the particulars of the Participating Agreements by which ERHC assigned some of its participating interests in JDZ Blocks 2, 3 and 4 to technical partners so that the technical partners would operate the Blocks and carry ERHC's proportionate share of costs in the Blocks until production, if any, commenced from the Blocks:
Date of Participation Agreement | Party(ies) to the Participation Agreement | | Participating Interest(s) Assigned | | | Participating Interest Assigned Price | |
| | | | | | | |
JDZ Block 2 - Participation Agreement - ERHC Retained Interest of 22.00% | | | | |
| | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | |
| Addax Energy Nigeria Limited - an Addax Petroleum Corporation subsidiary | | | 14.33 | % | | $ | 6,800,000 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
JDZ Block 3 - Participation Agreement - ERHC Retained Interest of 10.00% | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
February 15, 2006 | Addax Petroleum Resources Nigeria Limited - a subsidiary of Addax Petroleum Corporation | | | 15.00 | % | | $ | 7,500,000 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
JDZ Block 4 - Participation Agreement - ERHC Retained Interest of 19.50% | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
November 15, 2005 | Addax Petroleum Nigeria (Offshore 2) Limited - a subsidiary of Addax Petroleum Corporation | | | 40.50 | % | | $ | 18,000,000 | |
Under the terms of the Participation Agreements Sinopec and Addax agreed to pay all of ERHC's future costs for petroleum operations ("the carried costs") in respect of ERHC's retained interests in the blocks. Additionally, Sinopec and Addax are entitled to 100% of ERHC's allocation of cost oil plus up to 50% of ERHC's allocation of profit oil from the retained interests on individual blocks until Sinopec and Addax Sub recover 100% of ERHC's carried costs.
On or about October 2, 2009, Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Corporation acquired all of the outstanding shares of Addax Petroleum Corporation.
ERHC's JDZ Acreage
ERHC has working interests in six of the nine Blocks in the JDZ, as follows:
| ● | JDZ Block 5: 15.0% (in arbitration) |
| ● | JDZ Block 6: 15.0% (in arbitration) |
The working interest percentages represent ERHC's share of all the hydrocarbon production from the blocks and obligates ERHC to pay a corresponding percentage of the costs of drilling, production and operating the blocks. Through Exploration Phase 1 in blocks 2, 3 and 4, these costs have been carried by the operators. The operators can only recover their costs by carrying ERHC until production whereupon the operators will recover their costs from production revenues.
In 2009, Sinopec and Addax, ERHC's technical partners and operators in Blocks 2, 3 and 4 undertook an exploratory drilling campaign across the three blocks that was completed in January 2010.
Biogenic gas was discovered in each block and discussions continue between the Joint Development Authority and the parties, including ERHC, that hold interests in JDZ Blocks 2, 3 and 4, regarding drilling results. The meetings with the JDA are aimed at reaching a definitive agreement on how to proceed with the next stage of exploration in the Blocks following the expiration of Exploration Phase I in March 2012.
JDZ Operations Update
The JDZ partnership is currently assessing the data for possible new exploration play concepts in this area.
SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE ("EEZ")
Overview of ERHC's EEZ Blocks
The Săo Tomé and Príncipe EEZ is delineated over an expanse of waters offshore Sao Tome and Principe that covers approximately 160,000 square kilometers. In terms of hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation, the EEZ is a frontier region that sits south of the Niger Delta and west of the Gabon salt basin, retaining similarities with each of those prolific hydrocarbon regions. The regional seismic database comprises approximately 12,000 kilometers of seismic data. Interpretation of that seismic data shows numerous structures in the EEZ that have similar characteristics to known hydrocarbon accumulations in the area.
ERHC's Rights in the EEZ
Under a 2001 agreement with the Government of Sao Tome and Principe ("STP"), ERHC was vested with the rights to participate in exploration and production activities in the EEZ. These rights included (a) the right to receive up to 100% of two blocks of ERHC's choice and (b) the option to acquire up to a 15% paid working interest in each of two additional blocks of ERHC's choice in the EEZ. In 2010, ERHC exercised its rights to receive up to 100% of two blocks of ERHC's choice in the EEZ and was duly awarded Blocks 4 and 11 of the EEZ by the Government of STP.
EEZ Block 4 is 5,808 square kilometers, situated directly east of the island of Príncipe.
EEZ Block 11 totals 8,941 square kilometers, situated directly east of the island of Săo Tomé and abuts the territorial waters of Gabon. The southern area of the EEZ, where EEZ Block 11 is situated, contains parts of the Ascension and Fang Fracture Zones.
ERHC will decide whether to take up the option to acquire up to a 15% paid working interest in each of two additional blocks of the EEZ when called upon to exercise the option by the Government of STP in accordance with the agreements which provide for the rights and option.
PSC for the EEZ
In July 2014, ERHC and the National Petroleum Agency of São Tomé and Príncipe (ANP-STP) announced the conclusion of final terms for the Production Sharing Contract for EEZ Block 11.
A PSC is an agreement that governs the relationship between the Company (and its joint venture partners) and the Government of Săo Tomé and Príncipe in respect of exploration and production in any Block awarded to the Company. The PSC spells out, among other things, the work commitments (including acquisition of data, drilling of wells, social projects, etc.), the time frames for accomplishing the work commitments, how production will be shared between the parties and the government, and how the costs of exploration, development and production will be recovered.

As was the case in Kenya and earlier in the Joint Development Zone, management's intention is to bring a technically and financially capable operating partner onboard. The Company's discussions continue with several international oil companies about partnerships in EEZ Block 11. Some of those discussions are on the possibility of a 'right-to-earn' partnership where the operator commits to carrying only one aspect of the work program in return for a pre-determined interest in the PSC if the results of that aspect convince the operator to commit to the rest of the work program.
ERHC is currently working with the National Petroleum Agency of São Tomé and Príncipe (ANP-STP) to complete the budget for the first year of its exploration work program. A preliminary examination of available 2D seismic data indicates the possibility of commercially sizeable Cretaceous deep water tubidite fan existing in Block 11. While further investigation is in process, ERHC's exploration team believes that the Block has the potential for holding enormous hydrocarbon resources.
6 PSC provides for rate of return to be determined at the end of each quarter on the basis of accumulated compounded net cash flow for the contract area using a prescribed procedure.
INVESTMENT IN OANDO ENERGY RESOURCES (FORMERLY EXILE RESOURCES)
During the year ended September 30, 2011, ERHC invested $1,350,000 in Exile Resources Inc, a company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (Ventures Exchange) stock in open market purchases. ERHC's intention was to gain an indirect interest in Exile's underlying oil and gas exploration and production assets as well as the ability to participate in Exile's decision making in respect of those assets. ERHC was particularly interested in Exile's carried interest in the proven Akepo field in the Niger Delta.
In July 2011, Oando Petroleum and Exploration Company ("Oando Petroleum") commenced a reverse takeover ("RTO") of Exile Resources. In July 2012, Exile announced the completion of the RTO by Oando Petroleum and the change of name of the resultant company to Oando Energy Resources Inc, ("Oando Energy"). It also announced the listing of the company's shares under the symbol "OER" on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and commencement of trading in the shares on the TSX from July 30, 2012.
As a result of the RTO, ERHC now holds 418,889 shares in the common stock of Oando Energy. ERHC also holds warrants for 418,889 common shares exercisable within 24 months of the closing of the RTO at Cdn$2.00 per share.
CURRENT PLANS FOR OPERATIONS
ERHC's principal assets are its interests in rights for exploration for hydrocarbons in Kenya, Chad, the JDZ and the EEZ. ERHC has no current sources of income from its operations. The Company plans to develop its business by the acquisition of other assets which may include revenue-producing assets in diverse geographical areas and the forging of strategic, new business partnerships and alliances. ERHC cannot currently predict the outcome of negotiations for acquisitions, or, if successful, their impact on the Company's operations.
PLANS FOR FUNDING OF POTENTIAL ACQUISITIONS
ERHC's future plans will depend on the Company's ability to attract new funding. The Company is implementing a series of steps to fund the geophysical work, including magnetic/gravity and seismic surveys, prior to securing potential farm-out on Chad acreage. The fund raising might include:
| · | Farm-outs of part of the Company's assets in Kenya, Chad and the Săo Tomé and Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone |
| · | Issue shares of common stock through a registered direct offering |
| · | Convertible loans and other debt instruments |
| · | Other available financing options |
During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company retained the services of Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC (DCF) to advise on the Company's oil assets in the Republics of Chad and Kenya.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The process of preparing financial statements requires that the Company make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and stockholders' equity at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates primarily relate to realization of oil and gas concession assets and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts. ERHC's estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant estimates with regard to the financial statements included with this report relate to realization of oil and gas concession assets and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets.
These estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In preparing its financial statements and filings, the company considers recent guidance issued related to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company believes that there has been no new guidance since its most recent annual report on Form 10-K that have a significant impact on its financial statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
General and administrative expenses decreased from $940,909 in the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $520,695 in the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in general and administrative expenses as part of our cost savings plan.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had a net loss of $1,957,547 compared with a net gain of $1,723,555 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in net loss was primarily due loss on embedded derivative of $727,072 and interest expenses of $931,037 related to our convertible debts compared with no convertible debt during the same period in 2014.
Six Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared with the Six Months Ended March 31, 2014
General and administrative expenses decreased from $1,914,487 in the six months ended March 31, 2014 to $1,349,168 in the six months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in general and administrative expenses as part of our cost savings plan.
During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had a net loss of $3,646,762 compared with a net gain of $554,205 for the six months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in net loss was primarily due to loss on embedded derivative of $1,259,260 and interest expenses of $1,149,161 related to our convertible compared with no convertible debt during the same period in 2014.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $1,496,658 in cash and cash equivalents, and a working capital of $1,158,124. The Company is currently raising more funds through convertible debentures.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
At March 31, 2015, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
The Company's current focus is to exploit its primary assets, which are rights to working interests oil and gas exploration blocks in Kenya, Chad, the JDZ and EEZ under agreements with the governments of Kenya, Chad, the JDA and the government of STP respectively. The Company intends to continue to form relationships with other oil and gas companies with operational, technical and financial capabilities, to partner with the Company in leveraging its interests. The Company currently has no other operations.
As of March 31, 2015, all the Company's exploration and production acreages were located outside the United States. The Company's primary assets are agreements with Kenya, Chad, STP and the JDA which provide ERHC with rights to participate in exploration and production activities in Kenya, Chad, the EEZ and the JDZ in Africa. This geographic area of interest is controlled by foreign governments that have historically experienced volatility of which is out of management's control. The Company's operations and its ability to exploit its interests in the agreements in this area may be impacted by this circumstance.
The future success of the Company's international operations may also be adversely affected by risks associated with international activities that include financial, economic and labor conditions, political instability, risk of war, expropriation, renegotiation or modification of existing contracts, tax laws (including host-country import-export, excise and income taxes and United States taxes on foreign subsidiaries) and changes in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currencies in which future oil and gas producing activities may be denominated. Furthermore, changes in exchange rates may adversely affect the Company's future results of operations and financial condition.
Market risks relating to the Company's operations result primarily from changes in interest rates as well as credit risk concentrations. The Company's interest expense is generally not sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates in the United States, particularly because a substantial majority of its indebtedness is at fixed rates.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer participated in an evaluation by management regarding the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2015. Based on their participation in that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that ERHC files or submits under the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to our management; including our principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure under the Exchange Act. ERHC officers also concluded on March 31, 2015 that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
JDZ BLOCKS 5 AND 6
Arbitration and Lawsuit
The Company's rights in JDZ Blocks 5 and 6 are currently the subject of legal proceedings at the London Court of International Arbitration and the Federal High Court in Abuja, Nigeria. The Company instituted both proceedings in November 2008 against the JDA and the Governments of Nigeria and Săo Tomé and Príncipe. The Company seeks legal clarification that its rights in the two Blocks remain intact.
The issue in contention is contractual. The Company was awarded a 15 percent working interest in each of the Blocks in a 2004/5 bid/licensing round conducted by the JDA following the Company's exercise of preferential rights in the Blocks as guaranteed by contract and treaty. The JDA and the Government of STP contend that certain correspondence issued by a previous CEO/President of the Company in 2006 amount to a relinquishment of the Company's rights in Blocks 5 and 6 under the Company's contracts with STP which provide for the rights. The Company contends that no such relinquishment has occurred and has sought recourse to arbitration accordingly. It also filed the suit to prevent any tampering with its said rights in JDZ Blocks 5 and 6 pending the outcome of arbitration.
Suspension of Proceedings on the Arbitration and Lawsuit
Proceedings on the suit and the arbitration are currently suspended while the Company pursues amicable settlement with the Governments of Nigeria and Săo Tomé Príncipe.
ROUTINE CLAIMS AND OTHER MATTERS
From time to time, ERHC may be subject to routine litigation, claims, or disputes in the ordinary course of business. ERHC intends to defend these matters vigorously. The Company cannot predict with certainty, however, the outcome or effect of any of the arbitration or litigation specifically described above or any other pending litigation or claims.
Our operation and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and trading price of our common stock, including but not limited to, failing financial institutions. Please refer to our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2014 for additional information concerning these and other uncertainties that could negatively impact the Company.
