Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Organization and business
West Texas Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on December 9, 2010 under the name Texas Resources Energy,
Inc. On June 30, 2011, the Company changed its name to West Texas Resources, Inc. The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration
and development of oil and gas properties in North America.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.) for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments,
which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company,
for the respective periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for any other interim period or the year as a whole. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended September 30, 2013.
Oil and gas properties
The Company uses the successful efforts
method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill
and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs
are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs
of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed.
Unproved oil and gas properties that are
individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment
by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are amortized based on the Company's experience of successful drilling
and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated residual salvage
values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.
On the sale or retirement of a complete
unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property
accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost
is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income. On
the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking
into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest
in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
June 30, 2014 and 2013
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company accounts for the impairment
and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-35,
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
. In accordance
with ASC 360-10-35, long-lived assets are reviewed for events of changes in circumstances, which indicate that their carrying value
may not be recoverable. During the year ended September 30, 2013, the Company determined that the investment in one of its oil
and gas properties was impaired due to an unsuccessful fracking process. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment loss of $108,373
for the capitalized fracking costs.
Asset retirement obligations
ASC 410-20,
Asset Retirement Obligations
,
clarifies that a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional
on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity
is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. ASC 410-20 requires a liability to
be recognized for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably
estimated.
Cash, cash equivalents, and other cash
flow statement supplemental information
The Company considers all liquid investments
with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents. The
Company places its cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions
are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of
these institutions to limit its concentration of risk exposure. Management believes this risk is not significant due
to the financial strength of the financial institutions utilized by the Company.
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
Furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried
at cost depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Gain or loss on retirement or sale or other
disposition of these assets is included in income in the period of disposition.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income taxes
The Company reports certain expenses differently
for financial and tax reporting purposes and, accordingly, provides for the related deferred taxes. Income taxes are
accounted for under the liability method in accordance with ASC 740,
Income Taxes
.
Management has considered its tax positions
and believes that all of the positions taken by the Company in its Federal and State tax returns are more likely than not to be
sustained upon examination. The Company is subject to examination by U.S. Federal and State tax authorities from 2010 to the present,
generally for three years after they are filed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
June 30, 2014 and 2013
Revenue recognition
Substantially all of the
Company’s revenue is from sales of oil and gas production and is recognized based on sales or delivery date completed by
the operating company.
Basic and diluted net income (loss)
per share
Basic net income (loss) per share is
based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is based on the
assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is
computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the
beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common
stock at the average market price during the period. For the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, all common stock
equivalents were anti-dilutive.
Stock-based payments
Compensation costs for
share-based awards with no market or performance conditions are measured based on the grant date fair value and are recognized
over the vesting period. The fair value of share-based awards with market or performance conditions are measured upon the completion
date. Excess tax benefits will be recognized as an addition to additional paid-in-capital.
Fair value of financial instruments
The accounting standards regarding fair
value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the
fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash and other current assets
and liabilities to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments
and their expected realization.
The Company has also adopted ASC 820-10
which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances
disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
|
·
|
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical
assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
|
·
|
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for
substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
|
|
·
|
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
June 30, 2014 and 2013
As of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013,
the Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value
in accordance with ASC 820-10.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-11: Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a
Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The new guidance requires that unrecognized
tax benefits be presented on a net basis with the deferred tax assets for such carryforwards. This new guidance is effective for
fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of the new provision did not
have an material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In August 2011, the Company purchased a
water truck for $35,759 cash. In October 2011, the Company's water truck was placed in service pursuant to a lease arrangement
with an unaffiliated third party. The lease required the lessee to pay the Company $2,500 per month plus 10% of the revenue
collected by the lessee from its use or sublease of the truck. The lease was for a term of two years and the lessee had the
option to purchase the truck at the end of the lease term for 75% of the Company's purchase price. During the year ended
September 30, 2012, the Company terminated the lease and wrote off the lease income receivable of $5,616 as bad debt expense due
to the lessee’s cash flow problems.
The Company calculated the depreciation
of the truck using straight-line method with a useful life of three years. For the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company
recorded depreciation expense of $2,980.
On December 31, 2012, the Company entered
into an agreement with a third party to sell the water truck for a cash amount of $25,000 and recorded a receivable of $21,316,
net of a replacement cost of tires of $3,684. The Company received cash of $21,316 as full payment of the sale on January 3, 2013.
In addition, the Company paid $4,858 in title fees and commission for selling the water truck in January 2013. For the year ended
September 30, 2013, the Company recorded loss on the disposal of a fixed asset of $5,265.

Oil and Gas Properties
|
In September 2011, the Company acquired
a 31.25% working interest in an exploratory oil and gas drilling prospect covering 120 acres in Eastland County, Texas, for $127,123
cash.
In October 2011, the operator of the Company's
Eastland County prospect began drilling and fracturing operations. As of June 30, 2014, no revenue has yet to be derived from the
wells.
During the year ended September 30, 2013,
the Company determined that the investment in the Eastland County oil and gas properties was impaired due to unsuccessful fracking
process. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment loss of $108,373 to write off the capitalized fracking costs. In addition,
the Company determined and recorded its share of the asset retirement obligation of $10,000 for the year ended September 30, 2013.
WEST TEXAS RESOURCES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
June 30, 2014 and 2013
Effective April 1, 2013, the Company acquired
a 7.24625% working interest in the oil and gas leases, wells and attendant production in the Port Hudson field, Baton Rouge Parish,
Louisiana, for a total consideration of $702,900. The Port Hudson field has three producing wells with estimated total remaining
recoverable proved developed producing reserves of 294,000 bbls and 229,000 bbls of proven developed behind pipes reserves. The
wells are currently producing approximately 290 bbls per day. The Company’s working interest is subject to certain overriding
royalty interests, subject to which it has a 5.65158% net revenue interest in the Port Hudson Field. The Company also assessed
the asset retirement obligation on the Port Hudson field. Because the total cost of abandonment for the producing wells and related
facilities will be substantially offset by the salvage value of the tangible equipment, the remaining costs will be insignificant.
As a result, the Company did not record asset retirement obligation
On September 6, 2013, the Company acquired
a 10.0167% working interest (7.2120% net revenue interest) in an offshore oil and gas field, known as West Cam 225, located in
the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico near Cameron, Louisiana. The Company’s purchase price for the working interest was
$50,000. In addition to the purchase price, the Company paid $230,459 to the operator of the West Cam 225 field in payment of the
Company’s allocable share of the costs for development. Pursuant to the operating agreement, a fee of $0.31 per MCF is to
be deducted from production revenue as accrual of asset retirement fund. The Company did not record asset retirement obligation.
On April 15, 2014, the Company entered
into an agreement with EnTek Partners, LLC for the sale of 44.1% of its working interest in the Port Hudson field for the total
consideration of $290,000, less any payments received by the Company for production from the Port Hudson field occurring after
January 1, 2014. Pursuant to the agreement with EnTek Partners, the Company sold to EnTek an undivided 3.1956% of 8/8ths working
interest (2.4926% net revenue interest) out of the working interests in the Port Hudson field owned by the Company. After giving
effect to the sale, the Company continue to hold a 4.0506% working interest (3.1595% net revenue interest) in the Port Hudson field.
Pursuant to the same agreement, EnTek Partners
has also agreed to provide to the Company $275,000 in non-recourse financing to pay for its share of a dual recompletion in the
D-1 well at West Cam 225 property in exchange for its agreement to provide EnTek Partners with 75% of the net profits derived by
the Company from the West Cam 225 property until such time as EnTek Partners has recouped 100% of the recompletion costs advanced
on the Company’s behalf and 50% of the net profits thereafter.
The transactions under the agreement closed
on April 16, 2014, with an effective date of January 1, 2014. As a result, during the nine months ended June 30, 2014, the Company
recorded a loss on sale of the working interest of $19,983.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2014,
the Company made additional investments of $45,484 on leases of various land in Hale County, Texas. As of June 30, 2014, $13,600
was not paid and recorded as accrued expenses and other payables.
