Provision For Income Taxes | |
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES | Note 4 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES |
In 2015 and 2014, the effective tax rate was less than the statutory rate, primarily as a result of allowable depletion for tax purposes in excess of the cost basis in oil and gas properties and the corporate graduated tax rate structure. | |
Excess federal percentage depletion, which is limited to certain production volumes and by certain income levels, reduces estimated taxable income projected for any year. The federal excess percentage depletion estimates will be updated throughout the year until finalized with the detail well-by-well calculations at year-end. When a provision for income taxes is recorded, federal excess percentage depletion benefits decrease the effective tax rate. The benefit of federal excess percentage depletion is not directly related to the amount of pre-tax income recorded in a period. Accordingly, in periods where a recorded pre-tax income is relatively small, the proportional effect of these items on the effective tax rate may be significant. |

Asset Retirement Obligation [Abstract] | |||||
ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION | Note 5 – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION | ||||
The Company records the fair value of its estimated liability to retire its oil and natural gas producing properties in the period in which it is incurred (typically the date of first sale). The estimated liability is calculated by obtaining current estimated plugging costs from the well operators and inflating it over the life of the property. Current year inflation rate used is 4.08%. When the liability is first recorded, a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset is also recorded. Subsequently, the asset is amortized to expense over the life of the property and the liability is increased for the change in its present value which is currently 3.25%. | |||||

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | Note 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | ||||||||||||
Inputs used to measure fair value are organized into a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of the inputs. Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices, for similar assets that are observable. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs. | |||||||||||||
Recurring Fair Value Measurements | |||||||||||||
Certain of the Company’s assets are reported at fair value in the accompanying balance sheets on a recurring basis. The Company determined the fair value of the available-for-sale securities using quoted market prices for securities with similar maturity dates and interest rates. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s assets reported at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows: | |||||||||||||

The Company’s asset retirement obligation represents a non-recurring fair value liability. The fair value of the non-financial liability incurred in the quarter ended March 31, was $7,542 in 2015 and $26,651 in 2014 and was calculated using Level 3 inputs. See Note 5 above for more information about this liability and the inputs used for calculating fair value. | |||||||||||||
The impairment losses in the quarter ended March 31 of $556,734 for 2015, with none for 2014, also represents non-recurring fair value expenses calculated using Level 3 inputs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, marketable securities, trade payables and dividends payable. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the historical cost of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables and dividends payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term maturities of these items. |

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard under U.S. GAAP under which an entity should recognize 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. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The new standard allows application either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Management is currently assessing the adoption method and the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company, but it is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | |
On April 7, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (“ASU 2015-03”). The standard requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company currently has no debt nor any plans to issue any debt. Accordingly, adoption of ASU 2015-03 will have no effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | |
There were no other accounting pronouncements issued and none that became effective since December 31, 2014 that were directly applicable to the Company. |
