VANGUARD ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These consolidated financial statements of Vanguard Energy Corporation (Vanguard
or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In the opinion
of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the interim periods. Certain information, accounting policies and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. These financial statements should be
read along with Vanguard's audited financial statements as of September 30,
2014.
Going Concern -These financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other
things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses since
its inception and will require capital for future operating activities to take
place. The Company's ability to raise funding through the future issuances of
debt or common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the
successful development of a plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately,
to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to
continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Future issuances of the Company's equity or debt securities will be required in
order for the Company to finance operations and continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the
outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As of March 31, 2015, Vanguard's significant accounting policies were consistent
with those discussed in the audited financial statements as of September 30,
2014.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share--Basic earnings (loss) per share have been calculated
based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted
earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted-average number
of common and potential common shares. The calculation of diluted
weighted-average shares outstanding for the three-month and six-month periods
ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 excludes 149,394 and 192,619 shares, respectively,
issuable pursuant to outstanding warrants, stock options and debt conversion
features because their effect is anti-dilutive.
5
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Various accounting standards updates
have been recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to
the accounting literature or were applicable to specific industries. No new
accounting pronouncements have been issued that are likely to have a material
impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 - SALE OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES/PAYMENT OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES
During 2012, the Company sold $8,254,500 of Convertible Promissory Notes. On
March 31, 2014 the Company failed to make the scheduled interest payments on the
notes. As a result, the note holders were entitled to declare the notes in
default, in which case the principal amount of the notes, plus all accrued and
unpaid interest would be immediately due and payable.
The Company's inability to make the interest payment to the note holders was the
result of the expenditure of considerable capital to work over some of the
Company's wells. The costs of that work far exceeded the Company's expectations
and yet the work was required in order to get the wells back into production.
This depleted the Company's cash position far below its expectations. Further,
although the initial work on those wells was successful in boosting production
momentarily, further complications resulted in lower production than
anticipated, which was not adequate to replenish the cash expended and enable
the Company to make required interest payments.
With a view to paying its note holders, the Company, on June 17, 2014, sold its
oil and gas properties to Vast Exploration, Inc. for $5,500,000, after obtaining
approvals from the holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding shares of
common stock and approvals of a majority of note holders. An impairment charge
of $880,213 was recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 for the
amount by which the carrying value of the Company's oil and gas properties
exceeded the estimated net proceeds from the planned sale. The Company adjusted
the impairment charge by $(18,634) during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 based
on final closing of the transaction.
The Company used the proceeds from the sale to:
Pay holders of the convertible notes $5,259,706
Purchase the net profits interest held by
Vanguard Net Profits, LLC 230,619
Pay legal and closing costs 9,675
-----------
$5,500,000
A loss on early extinguishment of debt totaling $380,539 was recognized during
the quarter ended June 30, 2014 for the write-off of a portion of the debt
issuance costs and debt issuance discount associated with the debt repayment.
6
In consideration for accepting less than the full amount due on the notes, and
releasing their lien on the Company's oil and gas properties, holders of notes
in the principal of amount of $2,847,857 as a group, agreed to receive 860,380
shares of the Company's stock in payment of the remaining balances on their
notes, plus accrued interest. The Company issued the additional shares as
payment for the notes and accrued interest in the quarter ended December 31,
2014 and recognized a gain on the extinguishment of this debt totaling
$2,570,927.
At March 31, 2015, convertible notes totaling $146,937 remain outstanding
together with accrued interest of $27,551.
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES
The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate in recording its
quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the
Company operates. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual
items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur. The
Company recorded no income tax expense for the three-month and six-month periods
ended March 31, 2015 because the Company estimates it will record no income tax
expense for the year ended September 30, 2015. The Company has a valuation
allowance that fully offsets net deferred tax assets.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF
OPERATION
We have fully depleted our resources and have no assets of operational value. We
are seeking an opportunity to merge with another company that might provide us
with operational and financial capabilities to meet unpaid obligations and to
justify a market for our stock. Absent achieving such a transaction in the near
future, our viability is in doubt. As of March 31, 2015 the Company has not been
successful in meeting this goal; however, work continues in the effort and we
believe that before the end of the current fiscal year a merger or sale of the
Company is possible.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("1934 Act"), is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the SEC's
rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
the reports that we file or submit under the 1934 Act is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Financial
Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of March 31, 2015, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer evaluated
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive and Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There were no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting during the three month period ended March 31,
2015 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
