Organization, Nature of Operations and summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1 – Organization, Nature of Operations and summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

International Western Petroleum, Inc. (“IWP” or the “Company”) was incorporated on February 19, 2014 as a Nevada corporation. The Company was formed to conduct operations in the oil and gas industry.

 

Exploration Stage Change

 

The Company has limited operations and is considered to be in the exploration stage. During the year ending February 28, 2015, the Company elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. The adoption of this ASU allows the Company to remove the inception to date information and all references to exploration stage.

 

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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses and advances from officer approximates its estimated fair value due to the short-term nature of that financial instrument.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had $-0- cash equivalents at February 28, 2015 and February 28, 2014. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.

 

Oil Properties

 

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil gas properties, whereby all costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration for and development of petroleum and natural gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.

 

Depletion and depreciation of proved oil properties will be calculated on the units-of-production method based upon estimates of proved reserves. Such calculations include the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not included in the costs subject to depletion. These costs are assessed periodically for impairment.

 

The Company capitalizes pre-acquisition costs directly identifiable with specific properties when the acquisition of such properties is probable. Capitalized pre-acquisition costs are presented in the balance sheet.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognize it as expense, over the vesting or service period, as applicable, of the stock award.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per common share amounts are computed by dividing the net loss available to International Western Petroleum, Inc. shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding over the reporting period. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss, dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the year ended February 28, 2015, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Note 2 – Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has generated a net loss of $80,523 and negative cash flows from operations of $78,489 during the year ended February 28, 2015. Also, as of February 28, 2015, the Company did not have any business activities to generate revenues for its own operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.

 

Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

On April 20, 2015, International Western Oil Corporation (IWO), a related party, paid the Company $198,000 for consulting services related to discovery of the new and proprietary completion method of oil and gas exploration applied to the Bend Arch Lion 1B joint venture, which is a 6-well exploration program that IWO is operating.

 

On April 21, 2015, IWO paid the Company $304,000 for consulting services related to the drilling of 3 wells of the Bend Arch Lion 1B joint venture which is a 6-well exploration program that IWO is operating.

 

On May 4, 2015, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement with IWO pursuant to which the Company acquired a 39.5% working interest in the Bend Arch Lion 1A joint venture (the “1A Venture”) and a 50% working interest in the Bend Arch Lion 1B Joint Venture (the “1B Venture”) from IWO in exchange for 500,000 shares (in aggregate) of the Company’s common stock valued at $375,000. The Company will pay IWO a monthly retainer equal to $22,263. IWO will operate and provide field services for the oil and gas wells in the 1A Venture and the 1B Venture because IWO is licensed by the Railroad Commission of Texas as an operator. This monthly retainer will commence in May 2015 and the amount of such retainer may be adjusted based on the future performance of the 1A Venture and the 1B Venture.

 

On May 12, 2015, the Company sold 53,333 shares of the Company’s common stock for cash proceeds of $40,000.
