i COMPLETELY AGREE. WHOEVER DID THAT IS A IDIOT!!!!
Manipulation not good in delinquent stocks, only a fool would do it.
SEC could suspend it because of irregular trading. I would not buy in USA.
slow steady uptrend continues !!!
Thanks. Up nicely again today! Hope we start seeing larger moves up
No one knows how much, but assets should be worth something.
Move from an explorer to a producer focussing on Central Asia (Fergana Basin)
According to USGS and the EIA reports, the resource potential of the Fergana Basin has 4 billion barrels of recoverable oil, of which 75% is undiscovered.
MNP has a 90% equity interest in the Tajik company CJSC Somon Oil that owns a 100% working interest in two petroleum exploration licenses covered by a Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) in the Fergana Basin in Tajikistan close to producing fields and having significant resource potential.
Furthermore, MNP has acquired a 65% equity interest in EPA.at, an Austrian company, that owns a 57.42% equity interest in Petroleum Sugd, which operates 10 oilfields in the Fergana Basin of Tajikistan with 2P reserves of 30+ MMBO.
Company confirmed negotiations with new investors in July.

MNAP slowly starting to creep up higher with noone noticing. Perhaps we/I am more likely to strike it rich with a stock like this, under the radar, rather than having 500 posts/day. I suppose that if this increase continues, more eyes will follow. Hopefully the new funding/investment goes through and they finally drill some OIL
I thought I was giving up on this one ( although did not sell my many shares at the very low prices). Who knows, maybe this one is back in play. I don't think a company would risk/invest 266 million without thouroughly looking into the MNAP prospects. Some of these you just need to hold onto and wait. This one could skyrocket quickly with some positive news. Not many follow this. Perhaps that will change in 2016. It is good to see 100 % increase over last several weeks.
Maybe this financing will go better than the last try -
BAAR, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / December 1, 2014 / MNP Petroleum Corp. ("MNP") (MNP.V) (MNAP), announces that it has entered into a definitive private placement agreement (the "Agreement") with Stichting VB Vagobel ("Vagobel"), a financial holding company from the Netherlands. The Agreement, which is dated November 29, 2014, provides for a staged private placement of equity and convertible debt for gross proceeds of up to US$ 67,000,000. This private placement was previously announced by MNP in a news release dated September 8, 2014.
Details:
Pursuant to the private placement agreement, Vagobel has agreed to purchase and MNP has agreed to sell to Vagobel:
(a) on December 19, 2014:
(i) 43,000,000 shares of common stock of MNP (the "Initial Shares") at a purchase price of US$0.15 per Initial Share for an aggregate purchase price of US$6,450,000, and
(ii) for no additional consideration, two non-transferable common share purchase warrants (the "Initial Warrants"). One of the Initial Warrants provides that Vagobel will purchase, on the fifth business day (the "Warrant Exercise Date") following the date upon which MNP’s shareholders approve the transactions contemplated in the private placement agreement ("Shareholder Approval"), an additional 23,717,633 MNP common shares at an exercise price of US$0.20 per share for aggregate proceeds of US$4,743,527. The other Initial Warrant provides that Vagobel will purchase, on the Warrant Exercise Date, an additional 5,771,130 MNP common shares at an exercise price of US$0.15 per share for aggregate proceeds of US$865,669. The Initial Warrants must be exercised on the fifth business day following Shareholder Approval;
(b) on the fifth business day following Shareholder Approval, Vagobel must exercise the Initial Warrants and purchase one non-transferable convertible debenture (the "First Debenture") in the amount of US$25,000,000 and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant (the "Interest Warrant") providing for the issuance of up to 7,142,857 MNP common shares at an exercise price of US$0.70 per share; and
(c) four months following Shareholder Approval, Vagobel must purchase a second non-transferable convertible debenture (the "Second Debenture") in the principal amount of US$25,000,000.
The purchase price for the First Debenture and the Interest Warrant will be US$25,000,000 and the purchase price for the Second Debenture will be US$25,000,000.
Each of the First Debenture and the Second Debenture (the "Debentures") will have a maturity date of five years from the date of issuance and the principal amount outstanding under each will earn simple interest at a rate of three percent (3%) per annum, payable annually. Principal can be repaid only by conversion into MNP common shares at a conversion price of US$0.70 per share. Two-thirds of interest due is to be paid in MNP common shares through exercise of the Interest Warrant and the balance of interest due is to be paid in cash.
The Initial Shares and all of the MNP common shares issued upon exercise of the Initial Warrants and the Interest Warrant and conversion of the Debentures are and will be subject to the resale restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws (including those of the United States and Canada). The Initial Warrants, the Interest Warrant and the Debentures are not transferable.
The Agreement gives Vagobel the right to nominate two members to the MNP Board of Directors on sale of the Initial Shares and the right to nominate a third member once it exercises the Initial Warrants and purchases the First Debenture. Vagobel has nominated Andre Swanepoel and Dr. Victor Bletterman to serve as its initial two nominees to the MNP Board of Directors and MNP will appoint these gentlemen to its Board on December 19, 2014. In addition, once it exercises the Initial Warrants and purchases the First Debenture, Vagobel will have the right to nominate three qualified persons to assist MNP's management team in roles to be agreed upon.
TSX Venture Exchange Conditional Acceptance and Stockholder Approval:
MNP has received conditional acceptance of this transaction from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). The Exchange has agreed to permit the sale of the Initial Shares and the Initial Warrants on December 19, 2014. However, because the exercise of the Initial Warrant and the Second Warrant would create a new "control person" (as defined in the policies of the Exchange), MNP must obtain stockholder approval of the transaction before Vagobel will be permitted to exercise the Initial Warrants or issue any of the Debentures and the Interest Warrant. Manas intends to seek shareholder approval of the transaction at a shareholder meeting to be called after December 19, 2014.
Finder's Fee
Pursuant to an agreement dated September 26, 2014 with Sidewinder Investment AG ("Sidewinder"), MNP has agreed to pay to Sidewinder a fee in cash in an amount equal to 2.5% of the gross proceeds received by MNP from Vagobel for support from Sidewinder in introducing, progressing and closing the private placement with Vagobel. Sidewinder will only earn and be entitled to receive the fee as and when those proceeds are received by MNP.

Independent Auditor's Report
Board of Directors
EPA.at Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of EPA.at Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EPA.at Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of EPA.at Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH and Subsidiary
1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of business
EPA.at Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH ("EPA" or the "Company"), is headquartered in Vienna, Austria. The Company, through its subsidiary, Petroleum Sugd LLC ("Petroleum Sugd"), is engaged in the production of crude oil and gas in the north of Tajikistan.
Operating environment
In recent years Tajikistan has undergone substantial political, economic and social change. As in any emerging market Tajikistan does not possess overly sophisticated and efficient business, regulatory, power and transportation infrastructure as generally exists in more developed market economies. Management cannot predict what economic, political, legal or other changes may occur in these or other emerging markets, but such changes could adversely affect the Company's ability to carry out exploration, development or production activities. Particularly the legal system of Tajikistan is less developed than those of more established jurisdictions, which may result in risks such as: the lack of effective legal redress in the courts, whether in respect to a breach of law or regulation, or, in an ownership dispute, a higher degree of discretion from the governmental authorities, delays caused by extensive bureaucracy and the lack of judicial or administrative guidance on interpreting applicable laws and regulations, inconsistencies or conflicts between various laws, regulations, decrees, order and resolutions.

The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures, if any, of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Theses financial statements are prepared on a going concern bases and reflect the Company management's assessment of the impact of the Tajik business environment on the operations and the financial position of the company.
Scope and methods of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, EPA.at Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH, and all companies which EPA directly or indirectly controls (over 50% of voting interest). The sole subsidiary included in the consolidation is Petroleum Sugd, of which the Company owns 57.42% . Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Investments in which the Company exercises significant influence, but not control (generally 20% to 50% ownership) are accounted for using the equity method. The Group's share of earnings or losses is included in consolidated net loss and the Group's share of the net assets is included in long-term assets. Investments where the Company holds less than 20% ownership are accounted for using the cost method.
Concentrations of risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally these deposits may be redeemed upon demand. Cash and cash equivalents are subject to currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand, cash at banks and other short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
We carry accounts receivable at sales value less an allowance for doubtful accounts. We periodically evaluate accounts receivable and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances, credit conditions and the history of write-offs and collections. We evaluate items on an individual basis when determining accounts receivable write-offs. In general, our policy is to not charge interest on trade receivables after the invoice becomes past due. A receivable is considered past due if payment has not been received within agreed upon invoice terms.
Property, plant and equipment
Tangible fixed assets are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
Years
Buildings 10 - 20 years
Machinery and equipment 1 - 10 years
Vehicles 4 - 10 years
Office equipment 1 - 7 years
Materials and spare parts 2 - 3 years
Impairment of property, plant and equipment
Tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The carrying value of a long-lived asset or asset group is considered to be impaired when the undiscounted expected cash flows from the asset or asset group are less than its carrying amount. In that event, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined based on quoted market prices, where available, or is estimated as the present value of the expected future cash flows from the asset or asset group discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.
Oil and gas properties
Oil and gas properties consists of rigs and equipment in use to produce oil and gas as well as any asset retirement cost and is depreciated using the unit of production method. Unit of production depreciation is a critical accounting estimate that measures the depreciation of oil and gas assets. It is the ratio of actual volumes produced to total proved reserves or proved developed reserves (those proved reserves recoverable through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods), applied to the asset cost. The volumes produced and asset cost are known and, while proved reserves have a high probability of recoverability, they are based on estimates that are subject to some variability.
Investment in OJSC Rogun Dam
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded its investment in OJSC Rogun Dam ("OJSC") at cost since the company holds less than 20% in voting and capital interest in OJSC.
- 12 -
Current liabilities
Current liabilities include current or renewable liabilities due within a maximum period of one year. Current liabilities are carried at their nominal value, which approximates fair market value.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and a loan from a related party. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying value due to the short maturities of these instruments, unless otherwise noted.
Non-current liabilities
Non-current liabilities include all known liabilities as per year end, which can reliably be quantified with a due date of at least one year after the date of the balance sheet.
Income taxes
Taxes on income are accrued in the same period as the revenues and expenses to which they relate.
Deferred taxes are calculated on the temporary differences that arise between the tax base of an asset or liability and its carrying value in the balance sheet of the Company prepared for consolidation purposes, with the exception of temporary differences arising on investments in foreign subsidiaries where the Company has plans to permanently reinvest profits into the foreign subsidiaries.
Deferred tax assets on tax loss carry-forwards are only recognized to the extent that it is more likely than not, that future profits will be available and the tax loss carry-forward can be utilized.
Changes to tax laws or tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date are taken into account in the determination of the applicable tax rate provided that they are likely to be applicable in the period when the deferred tax assets or tax liabilities are realized.
The Company is required to pay income taxes in Austria and the Republic of Tajikistan. Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions and in evaluating tax positions.
The Company recognizes the benefit of uncertain tax positions in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities. The benefit recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized on settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. The Company adjusts its recognition of these uncertain tax benefits in the period in which new information is available impacting either the recognition of measurement of its uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized as income tax expense.
Revenue recognition
Revenues are recognized when products are delivered or services are provided to customers, title is transferred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of discounts granted to customers. Shipping and other transportation costs billed to customers are presented on a gross basis in revenues and cost of sales. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied, services rendered stated net of discounts, returns and value added taxes.

Exploration and development costs
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and natural gas producing activities. Under this method, acquisition costs for proved and unproved properties are capitalized when incurred. Exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, the costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties and exploratory dry hole drilling costs, are expensed. Development costs, including the costs to drill and equip development wells and successful exploratory drilling costs to locate proved reserves, are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement of a proved property, the cost and accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization are eliminated from property accounts and the resultant gain or loss is recognized.
Exploratory drilling costs are capitalized when incurred pending the determination of whether a well has found proved reserves. If a well is determined to be successful, the capitalized drilling costs will be reclassified as part of the cost of the well. If a well is determined to be unsuccessful, the capitalized drilling costs will be charged to expense in the period the determination is made.
Development costs of proved oil and natural gas properties, including estimated dismantlement, restoration, abandonment costs and acquisition costs, are depreciated and depleted on a well by well basis by the units-of-production method using estimated proved developed reserves.
We perform annual assessments of unproved oil properties for impairment on a field basis, and recognize a loss at the time of impairment by recording an expense to "exploration costs". In determining whether an unproved property is impaired we consider numerous factors including, but not limited to, dry holes drilled, current exploration plans, favorable or unfavorable exploratory activity on adjacent areas and our geologists' evaluation."
Loans payable
Loans payable are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Loans payable are subsequently carried at amortized costs; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption . . .
