NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

 

 

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 20202021 and 20192020 which are included on the Form 10-K filed on April 29, 2021.4, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods shown have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 20202021, and 20192020 have been omitted.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our 100% owned subsidiary, Alpha Energy Texas Operating, LLC. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, 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 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, notes payable and convertible notes approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company does not have anyhas minimal cash or other current assets norand does itnot have an established ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

General Business Development

 

The Company was formed on September 26, 2013 in the State of Colorado.

 

Business Strategy

 

The Company was incorporated in September 2013. Our business model is to purchase or trade stock for oil and gas properties to be held as long-term assets. Oil and gas commodity pricing has stabilized under the current economic market conditions bringing the U.S. to become one of the top the number one producers in the world. The momentum to drill using enhanced drilling technology in previously undeveloped areas assures the continued value of these properties. Our lean operating structure positions us well to compete in this very competitive market. Our strategy is to acquire producing properties that the Company can operate which have proven un-drilled locations available for further development. At this time the Company is reviewing several properties but have no contractual commitments to date. Our management’s years of experience and knowledge of the oil and gas industry leads us to believe that there are an abundance of good drilling prospects available that have either been overlooked or are not big enough for the larger companies. In the process of identifying these drilling prospects, the Company will utilize the expertise of existing management and employ the highest caliber contract engineering firms available to further evaluate the properties. To qualify for acquisition, the calculated cash flow after taxes and operating expenses, including ten percent (10%) interest per year, will recover the acquisition cost in 22 to 30 months. The cash flow calculation will be based conservatively on $51 per barrel of oil and $2.89 per MCF of gas. In addition, the selection criteria will require the life of current producing wells to be 7 years or longer and the field must have a minimum total life of 15 years.

 

The company is actively pursuing acquisition of additional properties in Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

AsThe Company and its subsidiaries maintain an effective system of “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that complies with the requirements of the Exchange Act. The Company and its subsidiaries have carried out evaluations of the effectiveness of their disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), as of June 30, 2021, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer). Based on that evaluation, they have concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, the disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose 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's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.Act.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On July 6, 2020, Premier Gas Company, LLC filed a mechanic’s lien against the interests of Pure, ZQH and the Company in the Rogers County Project, alleging past unpaid invoices on the part of ZQH and Pure and also alleging that the Company’s ownership is 75% rather than 87.5%. No documentation has been provided to Alpha by ZQH, Pure, or Premier of any unpaid invoices. The Company intends to contest the lien vigorously.None.

On July 22, 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit in Texas State Court against its predecessor auditor, LBB & Associates and Vine Advisors, LLP, and their principal, Carlos Lopez, seeking damages up to $1,000,000.

In March 6, 2020, the Company was informed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission that (a) Lopez and LBB were investigated by the SEC through an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings; (b) Lopez and LBB ultimately agreed to the imposition of remedial sanctions against them by the SEC; and (c) Lopez had been suspended from appearing or practicing before the SEC for a period of at least two years (the “Suspension Order”) beginning on February 6, 2020. A copy of the Suspension Order can be found on the SEC’s website.

The Suspension Order finds, among other things, that:

For three consecutive years, Lopez and LBB “engaged in a pattern of improper professional conduct as auditors”;

Lopez failed to exercise due professional care in performing his audit work; and

Lopez and LBB committed “multiple instances of highly unreasonable conduct in circumstances that warranted heightened scrutiny.”

The Suspension Order and the predecessor auditor’s failure to disclose it or the SEC investigation when it was occurring has had very damaging repercussions for the Company. Due to the misdeeds of Lopez, LBB, and Vine, the Company is now obligated to spend substantial amounts to re-audit the filings that Lopez, LBB, and Vine handled. Also, the Company is obligated to undertake this re-audit for 2018 since it can no longer trust the work of someone who admittedly “engaged in a pattern of improper professional conduct” and committed “multiple instances of highly unreasonable conduct in circumstances that warranted heightened scrutiny.”

Upon discovery of the misdeeds of Lopez, LBB, and Vine, the Company notified the predecessor auditors of their claims. The predecessor auditors have ignored the Company’s communications and failed to respond or even return the Company’s work papers and property.
