Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed consolidated financial statements. Such necessary adjustments consist of normal recurring items and the elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys June 30, 2015 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities The estimated fair value for assets and liabilities are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant information. The Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) prioritizes inputs used in measuring fair value into a hierarchy of three levels: Level 1 unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets, Level 2 observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 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 asset or liability; and Level 3 unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The Companys policy is to recognize transfers into and out of Level 1, 2 and 3 categories as of the date of the event or change in circumstances occurs. The carrying amounts of receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value given their short-term nature or their effective interest rates, which represent Level 3 input levels. The following are the classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3): Fair Value at March 31, 2016 Level 1: Quoted Prices Level 2: in Active Significant Level 3: Total Markets Other Significant at for Identical Observable Unobservable March 31, Assets Inputs Inputs 2016 Asset Retirement Obligation $ - $ - $ 429,700 $ 429,700 Contingent Land Payment - - 668,000 668,000 $ - $ - $ 1,097,700 $ 1,097,700 Fair Value at June 30, 2015 Level 1: Quoted Prices Level 2: in Active Significant Level 3: Total Markets Other Significant at for Identical Observable Unobservable June 30, Assets Inputs Inputs 2015 Asset Retirement Obligation $ - $ - $ 429,700 $ 429,700 Contingent Land Payment - - 653,900 653,900 $ - $ - $ 1,083,600 $ 1,083,600 The following is a reconciliation of the opening and closing balances for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the nine months ended March 31, 2016.
