These are the notes with Asher that I'm worried about. How many shares have been converted recently. Could be a mixture of shares hitting and some investors deciding to quick dump. Either way, we need some answers!


On August 11, 2010, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to Asher Enterprises, Inc. (“Asher”), in the amount of $57,500. The note had a maturity date of May 13, 2011 and an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. The holders have the right from and after the date of issuance, and until any time until the note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the note, and accrued interest, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The note has an initial conversion price of fifty eight percent (58%) of the 3 lowest closing bid prices for the 10 days preceding the conversion date and full reset provision. The note’s convertible feature was valued and resulted in a debt discount of $35,838, which is being amortized over the nine month note life, using the straight line method. In this case, using the straight line method approximates the effective interest method, given the short time to maturity. The Company has the right to redeem the note within 90 days from the date of issuance for 150% of the redemption amount and accrued interest. See Note 16 for a complete discussion of the derivative treatment and accounting of the Asher note.

During the first quarter of 2011, Asher converted $34,000 of the notes into the Company’s common stock, resulting in an issuance of 1,862,833 shares to Asher. During the second quarter of 2011, Asher converted the remaining balance of $23,500 into the Company’s common stock, resulting in an issuance of 2,036,820 shares to Asher. See Note 16 for a detailed description of each conversion.

On September 2, 2010, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to investors in the amount of $400,000, to fund financing and start-up costs of the recent Petro Energy acquisition. The notes have a maturity date of September 2, 2013, with accrued interest paid quarterly and an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. The holders have the right from and after the date of issuance, and until any time until the note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the note, and accrued interest, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The note has a fixed conversion price of $0.10.

On January 10, 2011, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to investors in the amount of $272,500, to fund drilling activities associated with the recent Petro Energy acquisition. The notes have a maturity date of January 9, 2013, with interest accrued and paid at the option of the holder at an annual interest rate of six percent (6%) per annum. The holders have the right from and after the date of issuance, and until any time until the note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the note, and accrued interest, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The note has a fixed conversion price of $0.35.

During the second quarter of 2011, the Company issued two nine-month convertible promissory notes to Asher in the amount of $53,000 each. The notes have maturity dates of February 16, 2012 and March 23, 2012 and an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. The holders have the right from and after the date of issuance, and until any time until the note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the note, and accrued interest, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The note has an initial conversion price of sixty five percent (65%) of the three lowest closing bid prices for the ten days preceding the conversion date.

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company issued two nine-month convertible promissory notes to Asher in the amount of $37,500 each. The notes have maturity dates of April 17, 2012 and June 12, 2012 and an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. The holders have the right from and after the date of issuance, and until any time until the note is fully paid, to convert any outstanding and unpaid principal portion of the note, and accrued interest, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The note due April 17, 2012 has an initial conversion price of sixty five percent (65%) of the three lowest closing bid prices for the ten days preceding the conversion date. The note due June 12, 2012 has an initial conversion price of fifty six percent (56%) of the three lowest closing bid prices for the ten days preceding the conversion date.

The Asher note’s convertible feature was valued and resulted in a debt discount which is being amortized over the nine month note lives, using the straight line method. In this case, using the straight line method approximates the effective interest method, given the short time to maturity. The Company has the right to redeem the note within 90 days from the date of issuance for 135% of the redemption amount and accrued interest, from days 91-120, the Company has the right to redeem the notes for 145% of the redemption amount and accrued interest, and from days 121-180, the Company has the right to redeem the notes for 150% of the redemption amount and accrued interest. See Note 16 for a complete discussion of the derivative treatment and accounting of the Asher note.
