SUMMARY
This
summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus.
This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider
before investing in our common stock. You should carefully read the entire
prospectus, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” and the financial
statements and accompanying notes, before making an investment
decision.
Business
We
were
formed on February 21, 2001 under the laws of the State of
Delaware.
On
May
10, 2001, we entered into a letter of intent with Tri-Corp. Enterprises Ltd.,
or
Tri-Corp, a privately-held corporation located in British Columbia, Canada,
to
jointly develop Gateway Falls R.V. Estates, a recreational vehicle community
located on Shuswap Lake near Lee Creek, British Columbia, Canada. Under the
terms of the agreement with Tri-Corp, we agreed to forward CDN$1,500,000.00
to
the joint venture for the purpose of providing clear title to the development
property and for use in the development of property infrastructure. We abandoned
this business plan in 2001 due to the British Columbia Financial Institutions
Commission's issuance of an order preventing the sale of the recreational
vehicle sites.
On
March
6, 2002, we entered into an option agreement to acquire an interest in the
Manchester South Property, a mineral claim located in the Sudbury Mining
Division of Ontario, Canada. The agreement, as amended on October 8, 2003,
was
between us and Terry Loney, doing business as Klondike Bay Resources. Our
objective was to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Manchester South
Property in order to assess whether the claim possessed commercially exploitable
reserves of copper and/or nickel.
Under
the
terms of the option agreement, we would have been deemed to have exercised
the
option to acquire a 90% interest in the Manchester South Property when we
had:
·
|
paid
Klondike Bay Resources $7,500 (paid upon the execution of the option
agreement); and
|
·
|
incurred
an aggregate of $200,000 of property exploration expenditures on
the
Manchester South Property within the following
periods:
|
·
|
$25,000
on or before December 31, 2004; and
|
·
|
a
further $175,000 on or before December 31,
2005.
|
Due
to
our inability to raise sufficient funds to meet the exploration expenditure
requirements of the option agreement with Klondike Bay Resources, we were unable
to exercise the option and our right to acquire an interest in the Manchester
South Property was terminated.
On
December 29, 2006, we entered into a reorganization agreement with Thatcher
Mining Pte Ltd., or Thatcher, a privately-held corporation formed on June 6,
2006 under the laws of Singapore. Thatcher was formed to conduct mining,
quarrying and prospecting services and to engage in wholesale and retail sales
of certain commodities.
Under
the
terms of the reorganization agreement, we agreed to acquire all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Thatcher in exchange for 32,000,000 shares of our
common stock. Upon closing the transactions contemplated by the reorganization
agreement, we also agreed to make a cash payment of $10,000 to the former
shareholders of Thatcher and to execute a royalty agreement pursuant to which
we
agreed to pay the former shareholders of Thatcher a royalty of $0.40 per metric
ton of coal sold by us. We completed the transactions contemplated by the
reorganization agreement on February 9, 2007 and, thereafter, Thatcher became
our wholly-owned subsidiary. We now carry on the business of Thatcher as our
sole line of business and all of our operations are conducted by and through
Thatcher.
On
September 12, 2007, we acquired Finchley Resources Pte. Ltd., or Finchley,
by
assuming its liabilities and expenses, via a transfer of stock from its sole
owner. Finchley is a corporation that was formed under the laws of the Republic
of Singapore on August 13, 2007. The only expenditures incurred by Finchley
were
those in association with its formation. We assumed a total of $209 in
liabilities from this transaction.
We
currently plan to carry on the business of Thatcher as our sole line of
business, and all of our operations are expected to be conducted by and through
Thatcher. All references to the “company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” for the periods
subsequent to the closing of the reorganization refer to KAL Energy and its
subsidiaries.

RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should
carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other
information included or referred to in this prospectus, before purchasing shares
of our common stock. There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown,
that may prevent us from achieving our goals. The risks described below are
not
the only risks we will face. If any of these risks actually occurs, our
business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially
adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could
decline and investors in our common stock could lose all or part of their
investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are not exclusive and
are intended to reflect the material risks that are specific to us, material
risks related to our industry and material risks related to companies that
undertake a public offering or seek to maintain a class of securities that
is
registered or traded on any exchange or over-the-counter market.
Our
future revenues, if any, will be derived from our coal operations. There are
numerous risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals
including, but not limited to, those described below. Additional unknown risks
may also impair our financial performance and business operations. Our business,
financial condition and/or results of operations may be materially adversely
affected by the nature and impact of these risks. In such case, the market
value
of our securities could be detrimentally affected, and investors may lose part
or all of their investment. Please refer to the information contained under
the
section entitled “Business” beginning on page 18 of this registration
statement for further details pertaining to our business and financial
condition.
Risks
Related to Us
We
are in the exploration stage and have yet to establish our mining operations,
which makes it difficult to evaluate our business. There can be no assurance
that we will ever generate revenues from operations or ever operate
profitably.
We
are
currently in the exploration stage and have yet to establish our mining
operations. Our limited history makes it difficult for potential investors
to
evaluate our business. We need to complete a drilling program and obtain
feasibility studies on the properties in which we have an interest in order
to
establish the existence of commercially viable coal deposits and proven and
probable reserves on such properties. Therefore, our proposed operations
are
subject to all of the risks inherent in the unforeseen costs and expenses,
challenges, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection
with
the formation of any new business, as well as those risks that are specific
to
the coal industry in general. Despite our best efforts, we may never overcome
these obstacles to financial success. There can be no assurance that our
efforts
will be successful or result in revenue or profit, or that investors will
not
lose their entire investment.
If
we do not obtain financing when needed, our business will
fail
.
As
of
February 29, 2008, we had approximately $1,788,943 in cash and cash equivalents
in our accounts. We estimate that we will need approximately US$10,000,000
in
working capital to fund capital and operational costs required to get us
through
the exploration phase and will need additional working capital following
the
exploration phase to complete all feasibility and pre production costs to
get us
to early production. We currently have subscription agreements for $9,103,010
which will close on a rolling basis through April 30, 2008. We have collected
$3,787,010 through February 29, 2008. We do not have any arrangements for
additional financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required.
Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors,
including the market prices for our products, production costs, the availability
of credit, prevailing interest rates and the market price for our common
stock.
Future
sales of our equity securities will dilute existing
stockholders
.
To
fully
execute our long-term business plan, we may need to raise additional working
capital through future sales of our equity securities. Any such future sales
of
our equity securities, when and if issued, would result in dilution to our
existing stockholders at the time of issuance.
We
face numerous uncertainties in confirming the existence of economically
recoverable coal reserves and in estimating the size of such reserves, and
inaccuracies in our estimates could result in lower than expected revenues,
higher than expected costs or failure to achieve
profitability.
We
have
not established the existence of a commercially viable coal deposit on the
properties in which we have an interest. Further exploration will be required
in
order to establish the existence of economically recoverable coal reserves
and
in estimating the size of those reserves. However, estimates of the economically
recoverable quantities and qualities attributable to any particular group
of
properties, classifications of reserves based on risk of recovery and estimates
of net cash flows expected from particular reserves prepared by different
engineers or by the same engineers at different times may vary substantially.
Actual coal tonnage recovered from identified reserve areas or properties
and
revenues and expenditures with respect to such reserves may vary materially
from
estimates. Inaccuracies in any estimates related to our reserves could
materially affect our ability to successfully commence profitable mining
operations.
Our
future success depends upon our ability to acquire and develop coal reserves
that are economically recoverable and to raise the capital necessary to fund
mining operations.
Our
future success depends upon our conducting successful exploration and
development activities and acquiring properties containing economically
recoverable coal deposits. In addition, we must also generate enough capital,
either through our operations or through outside financing, to mine these
reserves. Our current strategy includes completion of exploration activities
on
our current properties and, in the event we are able to establish the existence
of commercially viable coal deposits on such properties, continuing to develop
our existing properties. Our ability to develop our existing properties and
to
commence mining operations will depend on our ability to obtain sufficient
working capital through financing activities.
Our
ability to implement our planned development and exploration projects is
dependent on many factors, including the ability to receive various governmental
permits.
In
the
event our planned exploration activities confirm the existence of significant
coal deposits on our properties, we will then be required to renew our rights
in
the properties in order to continue with development and mining operations.
This
may include renewing the existing exploration Kuasa Pertambangan, or KP,
on each
property, or applying for exploitation KP’s in order to have the right to
commence mining operations. We currently intend to maintain interests in
the
properties described herein by making timely application for renewal of the
existing
KP’s or by filing applications to obtain the required forms of KP to commence
exploitation of the properties. Although we believe that absent unusual
circumstances, such as failure to pay rent or fees or the existence of excessive
environmental damage, it is common practice for the Indonesian government
to
approve requests for issuance or renewal of KP’s, there can be no assurance that
our applications will be approved. In the event our applications are not
approved, we will no longer have any interest in the properties and will
be
unable to continue with exploration, development or exploitation of those
properties. We would be required to resubmit applications or look for
other properties to explore, involving additional time and capital.
We
do not own a direct interest in the mining concessions in which we claim
to have
an interest. Our interests are based upon contractual arrangements which
give us
rights in the properties without any direct ownership. If it is determined
that
the contractual arrangements we have established do not satisfy legal
requirements or do not give us necessary rights in the properties, we may
be
unable to proceed with exploration, development or exploitation activities
on
the properties described herein.
Indonesian
mining regulations do not currently permit KP’s to be held by non-Indonesian
companies or by Indonesian companies which are wholly or partly owned by
non-Indonesian persons or entities. Therefore, in order for a non-Indonesian
entity such as us to have mining rights on properties in Indonesia, it is
necessary to establish special contractual arrangements. We believe that
the
contractual arrangements we have established, which involve selecting and
entering into agreements with Indonesian individuals who act as our nominees
in
acquiring ownership interests in the KP’s, represent a well established and
accepted shed procedure which has been used by many other foreign companies
which are currently conducting mining operations in Indonesia. However, there
is
no assurance that the contractual arrangements we have established are adequate
to give us rights to explore, develop and exploit the properties or that
our
rights in such properties would be upheld in the event of a legal challenge
by
governmental officials or by a third party. Any challenge to the contractual
arrangements we have established could delay the exploration or development
of
the properties and could ultimately result in the loss of any right or interest
in such properties.
Due
to variability in coal prices and in our cost of producing coal, as well
as
certain contractual commitments, we may be unable to sell coal at a
profit.
In
the
event we are able to commence coal production from our properties, we will
plan
to sell any coal we produce for a specified tonnage amount and at a negotiated
price pursuant to short-term and long-term contracts. Price adjustment, "price
reopener" and other similar provisions in long-term supply agreements may
reduce
the protection from short-term coal price volatility traditionally provided
by
such contracts. Any adjustment or renegotiation leading to a significantly
lower
contract price would result in decreased revenues and lower our gross margins.
Coal supply agreements also typically contain force majeure provisions allowing
temporary suspension of performance by us or our customers during the duration
of specified events beyond the control of the affected party. Most coal supply
agreements contain provisions requiring us to deliver coal meeting quality
thresholds for certain characteristics such as Btu, sulfur content, ash content,
hardness and ash fusion temperature. Failure to meet these specifications
could
result in economic penalties, including price adjustments, the rejection
of
deliveries or, in the extreme, termination of the contracts. Consequently,
due
to the risks mentioned above with respect to long-term supply agreements,
we may
not achieve the revenue or profit we expect to achieve from any such future
sales commitments. In addition, we may not be able to successfully convert
these
future sales commitments into long-term supply agreements.
The
coal industry is highly competitive and includes many large national and
international resource companies. There is no assurance that we will be able
to
effectively compete in this industry and our failure to compete effectively
could cause our business to fail or could reduce our revenue and margins
and
prevent us from achieving profitability.
In
the
event we are able to produce coal, we will be in competition for sale of
our
coal with numerous large producers and hundreds of small producers who operate
globally. The markets in which we may seek to sell our coal are highly
competitive and are affected by factors beyond our control. There is no
assurance of demand for any coal we are able to produce, and the prices that
we
may be able to obtain will depend primarily on global coal consumption patterns,
which in turn are affected by the demand for electricity, coal transportation
costs, environmental and other governmental regulations and orders,
technological developments and the availability and price of competing
alternative energy sources such as oil, natural gas, nuclear energy and
hydroelectric energy. In addition, during the mid-1970s and early 1980s,
a
growing coal market and increased demand for coal attracted new investors
to the
coal industry and spurred the development of new mines and added production
capacity throughout the industry. Although demand for coal has grown over
the
recent past, the industry has since been faced with overcapacity, which in
turn
has increased competition and lowered prevailing coal prices. Moreover, because
of greater competition for electricity and increased pressure from customers
and
regulators to lower electricity prices, public utilities are lowering fuel
costs
and requiring competitive prices on their purchases of coal. Accordingly,
there
is no assurance that we will be able to produce coal at competitive prices
or
that we will be able to sell any coal we produce for a profit. Our inability
to
compete effectively in the global market for coal would cause our business
to
fail.
Our
inability to diversify our operations may subject us to economic fluctuations
within our industry.
Our
limited financial resources reduce the likelihood that we will be able to
diversify our operations. Our probable inability to diversify our activities
into more than one business area will subject us to economic fluctuations
within
the coal industry and therefore increase the risks associated with our
operations.
We
rely heavily on our senior management, the loss of which could have a material
adverse effect on our business.
Our
future success is dependent on having capable seasoned executives with the
necessary business knowledge and relationships to execute our business plan.
Accordingly, the services of our management team, specifically, William
Bloking, the Chairman of our board of directors, and Jorge Nigaglioni,
our Chief Financial Officer, who serves pursuant to an employment agreement,
and
our board of directors are deemed essential to maintaining the continuity
of our
operations. If we were to lose their services, our business could be materially
adversely affected. Our performance will also depend on our ability to find,
hire, train, motivate and retain other executive officers and key employees,
of
which there can be no assurance.
Because
our assets and operations are located outside the United States and a majority
of our officers and directors are non-United States citizens living outside
of
the United States, investors may experience difficulties in attempting to
enforce judgments based upon United States federal securities laws against
us
and our directors. United States laws and/or judgments might not be enforced
against us in foreign jurisdictions.
All
of
our operations are conducted through a subsidiary corporation organized and
located outside of the United States, and all of the assets of such subsidiary
corporation are located outside the United States. In addition, all of our
officers and directors, other than our Chief Financial Officer, Jorge
Nigaglioni, are foreign citizens. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible
for United States investors to enforce judgments of United States courts
for
civil liabilities against us or against any of our individual directors or
officers. In addition, United States investors should not assume that courts
in
the countries in which our subsidiary is incorporated or where the assets
of our
subsidiary are located would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained
in actions against us or our subsidiary based upon the civil liability
provisions of applicable United States federal and state securities laws
or
would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or our subsidiary
based upon these laws.
Risks
Related to the Coal Business
The
international coal industry is highly cyclical, which will subject us to
fluctuations in prices for any coal we produce.
In
the
event we are able to produce coal, we will be exposed to swings in the demand
for coal, which will have an impact on the prices for our coal. The demand
for
coal products and, thus, the financial condition and results of operations
of
companies in the coal industry, including us, are generally affected by
macroeconomic fluctuations in the world economy and the domestic and
international demand for energy. In recent years, the price of coal has been
at
historically high levels, but these price levels may not continue. Any material
decrease in demand for coal could have a material adverse effect on our
operations and profitability.
The
price of coal is driven by the global market. It is affected by changing
requirements of customers based on their needs and the price of alternative
sources of energy such as natural gas and oil
.
In
the
event that we are able to begin producing coal, our success will depend upon
maintaining a consistent margin on our coal sales to pay our costs of mining
and
capital expenditures. We intend to seek to control our costs of operations,
but
pressures by government policies and the price of substitutes could drive
the
price of coal down to make it unprofitable for us. The price of coal is
controlled by the global market and we will be dependent on both economic
and
government policies to maintain the price above our future cost
structure.
Logistics
costs could increase and limit our ability to sell coal to end customers
economically
.
Logistics
costs represent a significant portion of the total cost of coal and, as a
result, the cost of transportation is a critical factor in a customer’s
purchasing decision. Increases in transportation costs could make coal a
less
competitive source of energy or could make some of our operations less
competitive than other sources of coal. Our future coal production, if any,
will
depend upon barge, trucking, pipeline and ocean-going vessels to deliver
coal to
markets. While coal customers typically arrange and pay for transportation of
coal from the mine or port to the point of use, disruption of these
transportation services because of weather-related problems, infrastructure
damage, capacity restraints, strikes, lock-outs, lack of fuel or maintenance
items, transportation delays or other events could temporarily impair our
ability to supply coal to our customers and thus could adversely affect our
results of operations.
Operating
a mine has hazardous risks that can delay and increase the costs of
production
.
Our
mining operations, if any, will be subject to conditions that can impact
the
safety of the workforce, or delay production and deliveries or increase the
full
cost of mining. These conditions include fires and explosions from methane
gas
or coal dust; accidental discharges; weather, flooding and natural disasters;
unexpected maintenance problems; key equipment failures; variations in coal
seam
thickness; variations in the amount of rock and soil overlying the coal deposit;
variations in rock and other natural materials and variations in geologic
conditions. Despite our efforts, once operational, significant mine accidents
could occur and have a substantial impact.
A
shortage of skilled labor in the mining industry could pose a risk to achieving
optimal labor productivity and competitive costs, which could adversely affect
our profitability.
Efficient
coal mining using modern techniques and equipment requires skilled laborers,
preferably with at least a year of experience and proficiency in multiple
mining
tasks. In order to support our planned production opportunities, we intend
to
sponsor both in-house and vocational coal mining programs at the local level
in
order to train additional skilled laborers. In the event the shortage of
experienced labor continues or worsens or we are unable to train the necessary
amount of skilled laborers, there could be an adverse impact on our future
labor
productivity and costs and our ability to commence production and therefore
have
a material adverse effect on our earnings.
The
coal industry could have overcapacity which would affect the price of coal
and
in turn, would impact our ability to realize a profit from future coal
sales.
Current
prices of alternative fuels such as oil are at high levels, spurring demand
and
investment in coal. This can lead to over investment and over capacity in
the
sector, dropping the price of coal to unprofitable levels. Such an occurrence
would adversely affect our ability to commence mining operations or to realize
a
profit from any future coal sales we may seek to make.
Environmental
pressures could increase and accelerate requirements for cleaner coal or
coal
processing.
Environmental
pressures could drive potential purchasers of coal to either push the price
of
coal down in order to compete in the energy market or move to alternative
energy
supplies therefore reducing demand for coal. Requirements to have cleaner
mining
operations could lead to higher costs for us which could hamper our ability
to
make future sales at a profitable level. Coal plants emit carbon dioxide,
sulfur
and nitrate particles to the air. Various countries have imposed cleaner
air
legislations in order to minimize those emissions. Some technologies are
available to do so, but also increase the price of energy derived by coal.
Such
an increase will drive customers to make a choice on whether or not to use
coal
as their driver for energy production.
Risks
Related to Doing Business in Indonesia
We
face the risk that changes in the policies of the Indonesian government could
have a significant impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in
Indonesia and the profitability of such business
.
Indonesia’s
economy as it relates to coal is in a transition. Indonesia has recently
reduced
taxation on the import of mining equipment and on the export of coal. Those
changes make doing business in Indonesia more favorable, but such regulations
can change in the future, and could have the effect of limiting the financial
viability of our operations. Other-in country regulations could increase
costs
of operations, limit export quotas or net trade.
Inflation
in Indonesia could negatively affect our profitability and
growth
.
Indonesia’s
rapid climb amongst the world exporters of coal can drive increased competition
and access to resources can lead to higher costs. Indonesia has kept inflation
in the 6% range per annum, but constant interest rate cuts by the central
bank
to spur investment can lead to quicker inflation hikes. We will monitor
inflation and adjust cost structures as necessary, but market pressures on
resources could possibly result in operating delays.
We
may experience currency fluctuation and longer exchange rate payment
cycles
.
The
local
currencies in the countries in which we intend to seek to sell our products
may
fluctuate in value in relation to other currencies. Such fluctuations may
affect
the cost of our product sold and the value of our local currency profits.
While
we are not conducting any operations in countries other than Indonesia at
the
present time, we may expand to other countries and may then have an increased
risk of exposure of our business to currency fluctuation.
Terrorist
threats and civil unrest in Indonesia may negatively affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Our
business is affected by general economic conditions, fluctuations in consumer
confidence and spending, and market liquidity, which can decline as a result
of
numerous factors outside of our control, such as terrorist attacks and
acts of war. Our business also may be affected by civil unrest and individuals
who engage in activities intended to disrupt our business operations. Future
terrorist attacks against Indonesia or the interests of the United Kingdom
or
other Western nations in Indonesia, rumors or threats of war, actual conflicts
involving Indonesia, the United Kingdom, or their allies, or military or
trade
disruptions affecting our customers may materially adversely affect our
operations. As a result, there could be delays or losses in future
transportation and deliveries of coal to our customers, decreased future
sales
of our coal and extension of time for payment of accounts receivable from
our
customers. Strategic targets such as energy-related assets may be at greater
risk of future terrorist attacks than other targets in Indonesia. In addition,
disruption or significant increases in energy prices could result in
government-imposed price controls. It is possible that any, or a combination,
of
these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Environmental
disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis in Indonesia may negatively affect
our
business, financial condition and results of
operations
.
The
coal
concessions which we intend to operate in Indonesia are subject to natural
disasters that can delay our drilling efforts to get certified measurements
of
the properties coal reserves, destroy infrastructure required for production
and
create delays in delivering product to our end customers. These impacts will
require us to adjust our operations and may be financially detrimental to
our
success.
Risks
Relating to Public Company Compliance Requirements
Public
company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers
and
directors
.
The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules subsequently implemented by the Securities
and Exchange Commission, or the Commission, have required changes in
corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public entity, we
expect these new rules and regulations to increase compliance costs and to
make
certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public entity, we
also
expect that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive
for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and
we
may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur
substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result,
it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to
serve
as directors or as executive officers.
Risks
Relating to Our Common Stock
Our
stock price may be volatile
.
The
market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could
fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are
beyond our control, including the following:
|
·
|
technological
innovations or new products and services by us or our
competitors;
|
|
·
|
additions
or departures of key personnel;
|
|
·
|
limited
“public float” following the reorganization transaction, in the hands of a
small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result
in
positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for the
common
stock;
|
|
·
|
our
ability to execute our business
plan;
|
|
·
|
operating
results that fall below
expectations;
|
|
·
|
loss
of any strategic relationship;
|
|
·
|
economic
and other external factors; and
|
|
·
|
period-to-period
fluctuations in our financial results.
|
In
addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant
price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance
of
particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and
adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
There
is currently no liquid trading market for our common stock and we cannot
ensure
that one will ever develop or be sustained
.
Our
common stock is currently approved for quotation on the Over-The-Counter
Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc., or the OTC Bulletin Board, trading under the symbol “KALG.OB.” However,
there is limited trading activity and not currently a liquid trading market.
There is no assurance as to when or whether a liquid trading market will
develop, and if such a market does develop, there is no assurance that it
will
be maintained. Furthermore, for companies whose securities are quoted on
the OTC
Bulletin Board, it is more difficult to obtain accurate quotations, to obtain
coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally
do
not publish press releases about such companies, and to obtain needed capital.
As a result, purchasers of our common stock may have difficulty selling their
shares in the public market, and the market price may be subject to significant
volatility.
Offers
or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common
stock
may cause the price of our common stock to decline or could affect our ability
to raise additional working capital
.
If
our
current stockholders seek to sell substantial amounts of common stock in
the
public market either upon expiration of any required holding period under
Rule
144 or pursuant to an effective registration statement, it could create a
circumstance commonly referred to as “overhang,” in anticipation of which the
market price of our common stock could fall substantially. The existence
of an
overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could
make
it more difficult for us to raise additional financing in the future through
sale of securities at a time and price that we deem acceptable.
Our
common stock is currently deemed to be “penny stock”, which makes it more
difficult for investors to sell their shares
.
Our
common stock is currently subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under
Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act or 1934, as amended, or the
Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock
is not
listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or other national securities exchange and
trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less
than
$5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more
years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny
stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain
documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors
with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a
risk
disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many
brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements
of
the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing
to
act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject
to the
penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect
on
the market, if any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to
the
penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our
securities.
The
elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees
under Delaware law and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors,
officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by us and may
discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and
employees
.
Our
certificate of incorporation, as amended, does not contain any specific
provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages
to
us and our stockholders. However, we are prepared to give such indemnification
to our directors and officers to the fullest extent provided by Delaware
law. We
may also have contractual indemnification obligations under its employment
agreements with its executive officers. The foregoing indemnification
obligations could result in us incurring substantial expenditures to cover
the
cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which
we may
be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage
us
from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their
fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative
litigation by our stockholders against our directors and officers even though
such actions, if successful, might otherwise us and our
stockholders.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
will
not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling
stockholders. Any proceeds from the sale of our common stock offered pursuant
to
this prospectus will be received by the selling stockholders.
MARKET
FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Our
common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, under the
symbol “KALG.OB.” Our common stock has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board
since December 22, 2004. Because we are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, our
securities may be less liquid, receive less coverage by security analysts and
news media, and generate lower prices than might otherwise be obtained if they
were listed on a Nasdaq market or other national exchange.

following table sets forth the high and low bid quotations for our common stock

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
Plan
of Operation
Our
plan
of operation for the twelve months following the date of this prospectus is
to
further explore and define the PT Graha Panca Karsa concession and to continue
the move into exploration of our PT Bunyut Bara Mandiri concession in
Kalimantan, Indonesia. We expect this program to run through the second half
of
the 2008 calendar year. This program is estimated to cost approximately
$2,000,000 for the Graha concession and $1,000,000 for the Bunyut concession.
The program is designed to define portions of the concessions to Joint Ore
Reserves Committee, or JORC, Compliant
1
measured
status, to determine their mineability and to explore other prospective areas
of
our concessions for additional resources.
As
of
February 29, 2008, we had $1,788,943 in cash and cash equivalents in our
accounts. We are seeking to complete the current raise of additional working
capital of approximately US$9,000,000 to US$10,000,000 by the fourth quarter
of
our 2007 fiscal year. The additional working capital will be used for capital
expenditures and operational costs to get us through the exploration phase.
We
then intend to raise the necessary funding to cover all feasibility and
pre-production costs to get us to early production. We have entered
into subscription agreements with 24 investors pursuant to which we agreed
to sell an aggregate of 60,686,732 shares of our common stock to such investors
at a purchase price of $0.15 per share, which will result in gross proceeds
to us of approximately $9,103,010, including $3,787,010 collected as of
February 29, 2008. The private placement will close on a rolling basis through
May 31, 2008. We have significantly reduced our burn rate, as compared to
previous quarters, to ensure funds are in place to move ahead with the next
phases of our operations. We reduced our burn rate by 52% from approximately
$1,910,818 for the three month period ended August 31, 2007 to $917,462 for
the
three month period ended February 29, 2008. We terminated certain material
contracts during the fiscal quarter that will further reduce the burn rate
in
the following fiscal quarter, with the savings affecting the entire fiscal
quarter.
Results
Of Operations
Year
ended May 31, 2007 compared to the year ended May 31,
2006
Revenue
We
have
not earned any revenue from operations from our incorporation on February 21,
2001 to May 31, 2007. Our activities have been financed from the proceeds of
private placement offerings of our common stock. We do not anticipate earning
any revenue until such time as we complete the property exploration and complete
activities relating to the preparation of coal extraction, of which there is
no
assurance.
Expenses
During
our fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, we incurred $1,228,807 of exploration
expenses, as compared to no exploration expenses for the year ended May 31,
2006. These expenses were related to the coal concessions in Indonesia under
exploration that started after the reorganization transaction. These expenses
were part of our Phase I drilling programme to establish a JORC-compliant
inferred resource. This included equipment rentals, fuel costs, third party
manpower and site maintenance costs. Professional and consulting fees for the
year ended May 31, 2007 increased to $642,835, as compared to $9,334 for the
year ended May 31, 2006. We incurred significant legal, accounting and finder
fee expenses in connection with our reorganization transaction, as well as
consulting services for administrative roles during the first months of
operation. General and administrative expenses for the year ended May 31,
increased to $552,025, as compared to $1,014 for the year ended May 31, 2006.
The increased costs resulted from both the reorganization transaction and
operations including travel, facilities expenses for Thatcher amortization
of the intangible assets and as well as payroll for the executive officers
and directorship.

Loss
Net
loss
for the year ended May 31, 2007 increased to $3,693,152, as compared to $10,348
for the year ended May 31, 2006. The increased loss was due to an increase
in
expenses, as discussed above. We have not attained profitable operations and
are
dependent upon obtaining additional financing to move from our exploration
activities to our initial production.
Capital
Resources
At
May
31, 2007, we had assets recorded at $8,075,350 consisting of cash of $729,626,
notes receivable of $283,869, other short term assets of $94,244 and an
intangible asset of $6,967,611. We are dependent upon obtaining additional
financing to fund our activities to move from our exploration activities to
our
initial production.
Liabilities
Our
liabilities at May 31, 2007 totaled $366,737 and consisted of various payables
to our service providers as well as accrued compensation for
executives.
Three-month
period ended February 29, 2008 compared to the three-month period ended February
28, 2007
Revenues
We
have
not earned any revenue from our operations from the date of our inception
on
February 21, 2001 through February 29, 2008. Our activities have been financed
from the proceeds of private placement offerings of our common stock. We
do not
anticipate earning any revenue until we have obtained additional capital
to fund
early production from our coal concessions.
Expenses
Exploration
expenses for the three month period ended February 29, 2008 increased to
$469,753, as compared to $273,126 for the three month period ended February
28,
2007. This increase occurred as the ramp up of exploration in the fiscal
quarter
ended February 28, 2007 consisted of two months versus three full months
in the
fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2008. Most of the exploration in 2007 occurred
in February, after the completion of the reorganization transaction with
Thatcher. The bulk of the costs spent on exploration in the three month period
ended February 29, 2008 were spent on the Graha property, as well as other
prospecting efforts. Stock based compensation expense increased to $1,512,381
from the prorated expense of the granted options and restricted shares. There
was no stock based compensation expense for the three month period ended
February 28, 2007. Professional and consulting fees for the three month period
ended February 29, 2008 increased to $152,085, as compared to $92, 309 for
the
three month period ended February 28, 2007. We incurred legal fees related
to
our current private placement offering and internal due diligence for the
full
quarter, as compared to legal fees that were predominantly versus efforts
that
occurred mostly in the months of January and February of 2007. General and
administrative expenses for the three month period ended February 29, 2008
increased to $399,713, as compared to $109,375 for the three month period
ended
February 28, 2007. The increase was due primarily to an increase in salaries
and
directors fees to account for a full quarter of activity of approximately
$179,582. We also incurred approximately $90,174 in amortization of intangible
assets, and an increase in rentals of approximately $30,754.
Loss
Net
loss
for the three month period ended February 29, 2008 increased to $2,515,260,
as
compared to $464,758 for the three month period ended February 28, 2007.
The
increased loss was due to the increased exploration expenses and stock based
compensation expenses described above. We have not attained profitable
operations and are dependent upon obtaining additional financing to move
from
our exploration activities to our initial production. Our proforma losses
increased to $13,459,762 due primarily to continued spending on our exploration
of the Graha concession.
Nine-month
period ended February 29, 2008 compared to the nine-month period ended February
28, 2007
Revenues
We
have
not earned any revenue from our operations from the date of our inception
on
February 21, 2001 through February 29, 2008. Our activities have been financed
from the proceeds of private placement offerings of our common stock. We
do not
anticipate earning any revenue until we have obtained additional capital
to fund
early production from our coal concessions.
Expenses
Exploration
expenses for the nine month period ended February 29, 2008 increased to
$2,842,004, as compared to $273,126 for the nine month period ended February
28,
2007. The increase is due primarily to the work performed on the Graha
concession to bring it to a JORC Compliant inferred resource of 204 million
tons
in June 2007 and the follow up work in the southwest and eastern blocks of
the
Graha Concession to further define the resource, including its coal quality
and
resource mineability. We incurred significant expenses in manpower of
approximately $1,350,784, site expenses of approximately $641,768 which include
on site facilities, catering, paving and telecommunications, equipment expense
of approximately $501,284 and travel expense of approximately $285,668 which
includes travel to and within Kalimantan, Indonesia. We spent $2,497,514
in coal
concessions in Indonesia and $361,990 in due diligence exploration in Mongolia.
Stock based compensation expense increased to $3,340,887 from the prorated
expense of the granted options and restricted shares. Professional and
consulting fees for the nine month period ended February 29, 2008 increased
to
$527,386, as compared to $107,266 for the nine month period ended February
28,
2007. We incurred significant consulting expenses related to our business
planning efforts, as well as legal expenses related to our current financing
activities over the full nine months versus a partial quarter in 2007. General
and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended February 29,
2008
increased to $1,251,403, as compared to $109,934 for the nine month period
ended
February 28, 2007. The increased costs resulted from salaries and directors
fees, facilities expense, travel, investor relations and amortization of
intangibles over the course of nine months versus a partial quarter in 2007.
Our
expenses totaled $9,211,585 versus proforma expenses of $492,264 in the previous
year. This increase in the rate of expenditure is due primarily to our
initiation of significant exploration activities in February 2007 following
the
reorganization transaction with Thatcher.
BUSINESS
Background
We
were
formed on February 21, 2001 under the laws of the State of
Delaware.
On
May
10, 2001, we entered into a letter of intent with Tri-Corp Enterprises Ltd.,
or
Tri-Corp, a privately-held corporation located in British Columbia, Canada,
to
jointly develop Gateway Falls R.V. Estates, a recreational vehicle community
located on Shuswap Lake near Lee Creek, British Columbia, Canada. Under the
terms of our agreement with Tri-Corp, we agreed to forward CND$1,500,000.00
to
the joint venture for the purpose of providing clear title to the development
property and for use in the development of property infrastructure. We abandoned
this business plan in 2001 due to the British Columbia Financial Institutions
Commission’s issuance of an order preventing the sale of the recreational
vehicle sites.
On
March
6, 2002, we entered into an option agreement to acquire an interest in the
Manchester South Property, a mineral claim located in the Sudbury Mining
Division of Ontario, Canada. This agreement, as amended on October 8, 2003,
was
between us and Terry Loney, doing business as Klondike Bay Resources. Our
objective was to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Manchester South
Property in order to assess whether the claim possessed commercially exploitable
reserves of copper and/or nickel.
Under
the
terms of the option agreement, we would have been deemed to have exercised
the
option to acquire the 90% interest in the Manchester South Property when we
had:
·
|
paid
Klondike Bay Resources $7,500 (paid upon the execution of the option
agreement); and
|
·
|
incurred
an aggregate of $200,000 of property exploration expenditures on
the
Manchester South Property within the following
periods:
|
·
|
$25,000
on or before December 31, 2004; and
|
·
|
$175,000
on or before December 31, 2005.
|
Due
to
our inability to raise sufficient funds to conduct exploration on the Manchester
South Property in order to meet the exploration expenditure requirements of
the
option agreement with Klondike Bay Resources, we were unable to exercise the
option and our right to acquire an interest in the property was
terminated.
On
December 29, 2006, we entered into a reorganization agreement with Thatcher
Mining Pte Ltd., or Thatcher, a privately-held corporation formed on June 6,
2006 under the laws of Singapore. Thatcher was formed to conduct mining,
quarrying and prospecting services and to engage in wholesale and retail sales
of commodities.
Under
the
terms of the reorganization agreement, we agreed to acquire all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Thatcher in exchange for the issuance of a total
of
32,000,000 shares of common stock. In conjunction with closing under the
reorganization agreement, we also agreed to pay $10,000 cash to the former
shareholders of Thatcher and to execute a royalty agreement pursuant to which
we
agreed to pay the former shareholders of Thatcher a royalty of $0.40 per metric
ton of coal sold by us. We completed the transactions contemplated by the
reorganization agreement on February 9, 2007, and upon completion of the
transactions, Thatcher became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
On
September 12, 2007, we acquired Finchley Resources Pte. Ltd., or Finchley,
by
assuming its liabilities and expenses, via a transfer of stock from its sole
owner. Finchley is a corporation that was formed under the laws of the Republic
of Singapore on August 13, 2007. The only expenditures incurred by Finchley
were
those in association with its formation. We assumed a total of $209 in
liabilities from this transaction.
We
currently plan to carry on the business of Thatcher as our sole line of
business, and all of our operations are expected to be conducted by and through
Thatcher. All references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods
prior to the closing of the reorganization refer to KAL Energy, and references
to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods subsequent to the closing of
the reorganization refer to KAL Energy and its subsidiaries.
Current
Activities
Our
current business plan is to engage in the exploration, extraction and
distribution of coal. We are currently considered to be an exploration stage
corporation because we are engaged in the search for coal deposits and are
not
engaged in the exploitation of a coal deposit. We have not engaged in the
preparation of an established commercially mineable coal deposit for extraction
or in the exploitation of a coal deposit. We will be in the exploration stage
until we discover commercially viable coal deposits on one of our properties,
if
ever. In an exploration stage company, management devotes most of its activities
to acquiring and exploring mineral properties.
We
have
the rights to two large coal concessions situated near the Mahakam River in
North Eastern Kalimantan, Indonesia. Further exploration will be required before
a final evaluation as to the economic feasibility of coal extraction on these
properties can be determined. We have done preliminary estimates of the surface
seams on these properties, and will be performing phase I drilling commencing
in
the first quarter of 2007 in order to determine whether either of them contains
a commercially viable coal deposit.
There
is
no assurance that a commercially viable coal deposit exists on either of our
current properties. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we will be able
to
successfully develop our current properties or identify, acquire or develop
other coal properties that would allow us to profitably extract and distribute
coal and to emerge from the exploration stage.
Products
Coal
is a
combustible, sedimentary, organic rock, which is composed mainly of carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen. Coal goes through the process of coalification as it
matures, affecting its chemical and physical properties. There are various
grades of coal, ranging from low rank coals (lignite and sub-bituminous) to
hard
coals (bituminous and anthracite). Bituminous coal is used as either thermal
coal or coking coal, depending on its properties. The properties of the coal
determine its value in the market, and include but are not limited to calorific
value, sulphur, moisture and ash content.
In
the
event that our coal concessions are found to contain commercially viable coal
deposits, they are expected to yield thermal coal, which is primarily used
for
power generation and industrial uses. according to the World Coal Institute,
or
WCI, coal accounts for approximately 39% of the world’s electricity production,
Coal is a lower cost fossil fuel, helping it maintain this sizable share of
energy consumption. Coal is also used for iron, steel and cement
manufacture.
International
Coal Market
According
to the WCI, the international coal market is led by the world’s top five
national producers: China, United States, India, Russia and Australia, and
16%
of global hard coal production, or approximately 775 million tons, is traded
internationally. The WCI also estimates that the amount of seaborne traded
steam
coal has increased by an average of approximately 8% per year over the past 20
years and according to the WCI, the Pacific Rim market currently accounts for
approximately 60% of the total amount of steam coal traded annually. Thermal
coal is the largest contributor to this trade and Indonesia is currently the
number one world exporter of thermal coal.
According
to the WCI, Asia is the largest consumer of coal, accounting for approximately
54% of the total global consumption of coal, and China is the leading user
of
coal in Asia. The Energy Information Association, or the EIA, estimates that
the
world coal trade should reach approximately 901 million tons by 2015, and 1,122
million tons by 2030. During that period, the EIA estimates that China’s coal
consumption will double from 2004 to 2015 and triple from 2004 to 2030, with
50%-60% used in electricity and close to 40% in industrial uses. The EIA further
estimates that total coal imports in Asia should increase from under 200 million
tons in 2004 to approximately 500 million tons in 2030. According to Platts,
the
energy information division of McGraw-Hill, power generation is expected to
increase in China and India, with the addition of 562 and 213 coal fired power
plants from 2004-2012, respectively.
The
WCI
estimates that global coal demand is expected to grow by 60% through 2030,
pushing electrification rates from 66% in 2002 to 78% in 2030. The WCI further
estimates that coal supplies 39% of the world’s energy production, but in Asia
that figure ranges from 49% to 72%. The price of coal as compared to natural
gas
and oil drives that increased use in the region.
Properties
Property
Location and Access.
We
have
rights to two coal concessions located near the Mahakam River in North Eastern
Kalimantan, on the Indonesian island of Borneo. The following map illustrates
the location of the properties:
The
area
of interest is in the vicinity of Melak, close to Senadawa, the regional capital
of the district of Kutai Barat in the province of East Kalimantan. Melak is
located approximately 100 miles northwest of the city of Balikpapan. Block
16 is
approximately 6 miles southeast of Melak. Block 24 is approximately 22 miles
northwest of Melak. The rivers provide the principal means of transport to
bring
in goods and heavy equipment and export coal and timber. The road network in
Kutai Barat varies from metalled to unmade and generally requires constant
repair. Access into concession areas is by four wheel drive vehicles or trail
bikes on the old logging roads or by motorized boat. The lots lie close to
the
Mahakam River. Each lot is 10,000 hectares, approximately 24,700
acres.

Claim
Status
Indonesia’s
natural resources are controlled by the Indonesian government. As a result,
there is no title to particular mineral deposits granted by the Indonesian
government to private companies or individuals, but rather the Indonesian
government will only grant the right to exploit and sell the mineral deposits.
Domestic investment in mining is conducted through a KP, a license issued by
the
Head of Regency, the regional governor and the Indonesian Minister of Energy
and
Mineral Resources, depending on the location of the mining area. There are
several types of KP’s which may be issued depending on the stage of development
of the mining area itself, including a General Survey KP, an Exploration KP,
an
Exploitation KP, a Transportation and Selling KP and a Processing and Refining
KP.
Indonesian
mining regulations do not permit KP’s to be held by non-Indonesian companies or
by Indonesian companies which are wholly or partly owned by non-Indonesian
persons or entities. We have established a series of contractual arrangements
which give us an economic benefit in relation to certain mining properties
in
Indonesia, as further described below.
The
KP’s
for the two properties in which we have economic rights are held by limited
liability companies formed under the laws of Indonesia. PT Graha Panca Karsa,
or
GPK, holds an Exploration KP on Kampung Tukul Kecamatan Tering in the Kutai
Barat district of East Kalimantan, and PT Bunyut Bara Mandiri, or BBM, holds
an
Exploration KP on Kecamatan Melak and Kecamatan Muara Lawa in the Kutai Barat
district of East Kalimantan. The KPs are extendable by the company under
agreement and obligations and both currently run until September 14th, 2008
unless and until extended.
Pursuant
to share purchase agreements dated September 14, 2006, as amended, Thatcher
agreed, in the name of its designated purchasers, to purchase all of the issued
and paid up share capital of GPK for a purchase price of $175,000 and BBM for
a
purchase price of $150,000. The transactions contemplated by the share purchase
agreements were completed on December 4, 2006, and at the closing of such
transactions, two Indonesian citizens selected by Thatcher to acquire the shares
in BBM and GPK, purchased all of the issued shares of both GPK and
BBM.
Contemporaneously
with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the share purchase
agreements, (i) GPK and BBM and the shareholders of GPK and BBM executed a
cooperation and investment agreement with Thatcher pursuant to which Thatcher
agreed to provide all required funding and certain services in relation to
the
exploration work, development, construction and operation necessary to develop
the mining properties and in return GPK and BBM agreed to pay Thatcher all
of
the net proceeds from coal sales, and (ii) GPK and BBM executed a power of
attorney in favor of Thatcher giving Thatcher the authority to sign any and
all
documents relating to mining operations on behalf of GPK and BBM.
In
addition, the shareholders of GPK and BBM executed (i) a loan agreement with
Thatcher to record the terms upon which Thatcher loaned them the funds needed
to
purchase the shares of GPK and BBM, (ii) a share pledge agreement issued to
Thatcher pledging their shares as collateral security for their obligations
under their respective loan agreements, cooperation and investment agreements,
and any related agreements, and (iii) a power of attorney in favor of Thatcher
giving Thatcher the power to vote the shares in GPK and BBM. We have included
the results of GPK and BBM in our financial statements as of May 31, 2007,
as a
variable interest entity, as we currently stand to absorb the majority of the
variable interest entity’s expected losses.
In
the
event that coal is produced and delivered to customers from either of these
properties, we will be obligated to pay production sharing fees under production
share agreements dated as of December 4, 2006 as follows:
|
·
|
a
share of the proceeds of production totaling $0.45 per ton pursuant
to
production share agreements entered into among GPK, Ferdinandus Hanye,
Eko
Purwanto, Rudiansyah and Laurensius Hajang, and between GPK and Laurensius
Hajang, for production under the KP held by GPK. This share of production
proceeds will be paid to the recipients in return for providing assistance
to GPK relating to the development of the mining project (particularly
in
the area of local community relations);
and
|
|
·
|
a
share of the proceeds of production totaling $0.45 per ton pursuant
to
production share agreements entered into among BBM, Kristiana Neny,
Eko
Purwanto and Laurensius Hajang, and between BBM and Laurensius Hajang,
for
production under the KP held by BBM. This share of production proceeds
will be paid to the recipients in return for providing assistance
to BBM
relating to the development of the mining project (particularly in
the
area of local community relations).
|
Depending
on the quality of the coal delivered, royalties of between 3% and 7% will be
paid to the Indonesian government.
In
addition to the production sharing fees described above, we will be obligated
to
pay a royalty of $0.40 per ton to the former shareholders of Thatcher pursuant
to a royalty agreement dated December 29, 2006, entered into between the us,
Thatcher and the former shareholders of Thatcher, which include Essendon Capital
Ltd., a privately-held company incorporated under the laws of Samoa, Carlton
Corp., a privately-held company incorporated under the laws of the Republic
of
the Seychelles, and Concord International, Inc., a privately-held company
incorporated under the laws of the Bahamas.
Pursuant
to the terms of a cooperation and investment agreement, GPK and BBM are required
to maintain their respective KPs in full force and effect, and to apply for
any
extensions or renewals of their respective KPs at our direction. We intend
to
instruct GPK and BBM to apply for extensions of their respective KP’s prior to
their expiration. Although we anticipate that the KP’s will be renewed prior to
their expiration, there is no assurance that the governing body will grant
such
renewal.
History
We
are
not aware of any previous mining activities which have taken place on either
of
the properties in which we have rights. However, there have been logging
operations in the area.
Geology
A
field
exploration program was conducted on Block 16 and Block 24 in July, 2006. Based
on that study, the following information is available:
The
rocks
of Kutai Barat are mostly contained within the Kutai Basin. A summary of the
stratigraphy in this basin is given in the Table below.

The
regional structural trend of fold axes and major faulting is northeast-east
northeast, a trend easily picked out on the satellite images. Other important
structural features trend approximately north-south. The area can be divided
into three areas based on the topography and the underlying
geology.
The
floodplain of the Mahakam River and its tributaries
The
area
is characterized by very low relief and dominated by swamps. Solid geology
outcrops of the coal bearing sediments are rare, the area being mostly covered
by late Holocene/Quaternary alluvium.
Intermediate
ground
This
is
underlain by the main coal bearing strata of the Pamalauan, Palau Balang and
Balikpapan Formations. These formations are of mixed facies with sandstone,
siltstones and mudstones/clays with coal seams. These formations form low,
undulating hills that have been eroded to form numerous small, V-shaped gullies
and valleys.
High
ground
Mostly
located 200m above sea level, these areas contain the volcanic rocks, andesites
and tuffs of the Maragoh Formation and, in the northwest, small areas of the
quartzitic Haloq Sandstone Formation of the neighbouring basin.
On
Block
24, surface seams up to 6.7m thick have been recorded. Some 92% of the
outcroppings recorded the block have dip under 10 degrees, indicating a low
strip ratio. The program yielded a collection of coal samples that were analyzed
for the moisture, ash, suplhur and calorific values of the coal in the
property.
Infrastructure
There
are
approximately 130 kilometers of unsealed roads on the properties which were
built by legacy logging operators operating on the properties. Both of the
properties are situated close to the Mahakan River, which is used for barge
transportation. In addition, both properties are situated near Melak, a small
rural town which provides a logistic base for operations.
Coal
We
completed our Phase I Drilling Programme and obtained a Joint Ore Reserves
Committee, or JORC, code compliant resource statement for the GPK site on June
11, 2007. The competent persons report arrived at an inferred resources of
204
million tons of thermal coal. The coal properties arrived in the exploration
and
report are noted below.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
We
previously made four loans to Thatcher in the aggregate principal amount
of
$615,000. These loans were payable on demand and were guaranteed by Cameron
Reynolds, our former president and chief executive officer. These loans were
cancelled upon completion of the reorganization transaction.
Thatcher
entered into a loan agreement with Laith Reynolds, the former chairman of
our
board of directors, pursuant to which Mr. Reynolds made a loan to Thatcher
in
the principal amount of $175,000. This loan carried no interest and was payable
in full on demand. This loan was paid in full on February 28, 2007.
We
entered into a royalty agreement with Concord International, or Concord,
Essendon Capital and Carlton Corp., the former shareholders of Thatcher,
or
their nominees, pursuant to which we are required to pay a royalty of $0.40
per
metric ton of coal sold by us or our affiliates. Under the royalty agreement,
we
are required to make royalty payments in exchange for the assignment of certain
mining permits. Prior to entering into the royalty agreement, the former
Thatcher shareholders presented us with an option to pay cash for such permits
or to pay a combination of a reduced initial cash payment and royalties for
such
permits. As an early stage company, we are particularly concerned with cash
conservation, and we determined that in order to preserve cash a royalty
agreement would provide us with the flexibility to enter into this transaction.
If successful, this will result in a reduction in margin only. As no coal
has
yet been sold by us, no amounts have been paid under the royalty
agreement.
We
use
the services of Mining House Ltd., or Mining House, for information technology
and administrative services. These services also include expense reimbursements
for travel and other administrative expenses. Two of our directors and two
of
our former presidents and chief executive officers, one of whom is the sole
shareholder of Mining House, are directors of Mining House. Our payments
to
Mining House for such services during the three and nine month periods ended
February 29, 2008 equaled $108,997 and $301,149, respectively. Our payments
to
Mining House for such services during the three and nine month periods ended
February 28, 2007 equaled $18,544 and $18,544, respectively. The terms of
this
agreement are consistent with other third party service agreements, as we
are
obtaining a share of office space, information technology support,
administrative services, company registration services and management consulting
services for the equivalent of two full time employees. In addition, two
of our
former presidents and chief executive officers resided in London and worked
out
of Mining House’s London office, requiring a level of administrative support.
With the departure of Mr. Hurley, our former president and chief executive
officer, on May 20, 2008, we no longer have any executive presence in London,
we
do not require the use of Mining House’s office space in London and we will
localize the support closer to our management in Asia. As a result, we have
notified Mining House that we intend to terminate the services agreement
on
August 31, 2008. The contract required a sixty day notice of termination.
In the
interim period, we intend to transition our documentation, migrate our
information technology to a new service and complete tax compliance matters
in
the United Kingdom.
We
have a
rental and services agreement with PB Commodities, or PBC, for office space
in
Singapore. PBC is owned by Concord, one of our principal stockholders. Rental
and service payments made under this agreement equaled $60,759 and $97,383,
respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended February 29, 2008.
Rental payments made under this agreement equaled $33,659 and $33,659,
respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2007.
The
terms of this agreement are consistent with other third party services
agreements. The primary cost under this agreement is the use of office space.
As
part of the restructuring of our management and administrative functions,
we
will be moving our offices to Jakarta, Indonesia and will not require a large
presence in Singapore. We have notified PBC of our intent to terminate the
lease
agreement as of the July 31, 2008, the end of the current lease term.
We
used
Asia Consultancy Group Pte Ltd., or ACG, for exploration consulting services.
These services included expense reimbursements for travel and other
administrative expenses. ACG is owned by Concord, one of our principal
stockholders. Total payments made for the three and nine month periods ended
February 29, 2008 equaled $37,776 and $465,014, respectively. Total payments
made for the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2007 equaled
$253,181 and $259,729, respectively. The terms of this agreement were consistent
with other third party services agreements. ACG provided the services of
key
personnel and operating costs while we had the flexibility to not use such
resources full time. We terminated this agreement in November 2007 following
our
decision to hire certain key personnel on a full time basis and remove other
costs from the organization.
The
above
referenced agreements with Mining House, PBC and ACG were in place with Thatcher
prior to our acquisition of Thatcher. We amended the Mining House and PBC
agreements for changes in the use of service and office space. For all new
agreements and amendments, we evaluate the transactions against other vendors.
We request of all of our directors and officers to disclose any related party
transactions as proposals are discussed.
DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
We
are
authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock. As of June 30,
2008, there were
143,416,172
shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
Common
Stock
The
holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. The holders
of
our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as
may
be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds. However,
the current policy of our board of directors is to retain earnings, if any,
for
operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders
of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally
available for distribution. The holders of our common stock have no preemptive,
subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and
privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely
affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, which
may be designated solely by action of the board of directors and issued in
the
future.
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
In
connection with (i) the private placement offering of our common stock to
certain selling stockholders pursuant to subscriptions entered into
simultaneously with the closing of our reorganization transaction on February
9,
2007 and (ii) our issuance of common stock to certain selling stockholders
as
compensation for services rendered in connection with the above-referenced
private placement offering, we agreed to file a registration statement with
the
SEC to register the shares of our common stock that we issued to the selling
stockholders for resale by the selling stockholders. The following table
provides the name of each selling stockholder and the number of shares of
our
common stock offered by each selling stockholder under this prospectus. We
prepared this table based upon information supplied to us by the selling
stockholders named in the table, and we have not sought to verify such
information. For each selling stockholder, the table below assumes the sale
by
that selling stockholder of all of its shares of common stock available for
resale under this prospectus. There can be no assurance that any of the shares
offered hereby will be sold. We may amend or supplement this prospectus from
time to time in the future to update or change this list of selling stockholders
and shares that may be resold. No selling stockholder has, or has had, within
the past three years, any position, office, or other material relationship
with
us or any of our predecessors or affiliates.

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of common stock being offered under this prospectus on the OTC Bulletin Board,
or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which shares of
our
common stock are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed
or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the
following methods when disposing of shares:
|
·
|
directly
by any selling stockholder to one or more
purchasers;
|
|
·
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker−dealer
solicits purchasers;
|
|
·
|
block
trades in which the broker−dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent
but may position and resell a portion of the blocks as principal
to
facilitate the transaction;
|
|
·
|
purchases
by a broker−dealer as principal and resale by the broker−dealer for its
account;
|
|
·
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
|
|
·
|
privately
negotiated transactions;
|
|
·
|
settlement
of short sales entered into after the date of this
prospectus;
|
|
·
|
broker−dealers
may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number
of such
shares at a stipulated price per
share;
|
|
·
|
a
combination of any of these methods of sale;
and
|
|
·
|
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable
law.
|
The
selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders
have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or to
make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory
at
any particular time.
Broker−dealers
engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker−dealers to
participate in sales. Broker−dealers may receive commissions or discounts from
the selling stockholders (or, if any broker−dealer acts as agent for the
purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The
selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed
what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The
selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest
in some or all of the shares of our common stock owned by them and, if they
default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledge or secured
parties may offer and sell the shares of our common stock from time to time
under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule
424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the
list
of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee, donee or other
successors-in-interest as selling stockholders under this
prospectus.
The
selling stockholders and any broker−dealers or agents that are involved in
selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the
Securities Act in connection with these sales. In such event, any commissions
received by these broker−dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the
shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act. Any broker-dealers or agents that are deemed
to be underwriters may not sell shares offered under this prospectus unless
and
until we set forth the names of the underwriters and the material details of
their underwriting arrangements in a supplement to this prospectus or, if
required, in a replacement prospectus included in a post-effective amendment
to
the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The selling
stockholders have informed us that they do not have any agreement or
understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common
stock.
The
selling stockholders and any other person participating in the sale or
distribution of the shares offered under this prospectus will be subject to
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations
promulgated under that act, including Regulation M. These provisions may
restrict activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any
of
the shares by, the selling stockholder or any other person. Furthermore, under
Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited
from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities with respect
to those securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement
of
such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these
limitations may affect the marketability of the shares.
If
any of
the shares of common stock offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus are
transferred other than pursuant to a sale under this prospectus, then subsequent
holders could not use this prospectus until a post-effective amendment or
prospectus supplement is filed, naming such holders. We offer no assurances
as
to whether any of the selling stockholders will sell all or any portion of
the
shares offered under this prospectus.
We
have
agreed to pay all fees and expenses we incur incident to the registration of
the
shares being offered under this prospectus. However, each selling security
holder and purchaser is responsible for paying any discounts, commissions and
similar selling expenses they incur.
We
and
the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify one another against certain
losses, damages and liabilities arising in connection with this prospectus,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.
CHANGES
IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
On
February 22, 2007, Morgan & Company, or Morgan, notified us that they would
resign as our principal independent registered public accounting firm, effective
upon our appointment of a successor firm.
On
March
6, 2007, our board of directors engaged Kabani & Company, Inc., or Kabani,
to serve as our principal independent registered public accounting firm,
effective as of such date.
The
audit
reports, or Audit Reports, of Morgan on our financial statements for the fiscal
years ended May 31, 2006 and 2005 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer
of
opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope
or
accounting principles, except as follows: the Audit Report dated August 4,
2006
for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2006 contained a qualification as to
uncertainty.
During
the period from June 1, 2005 to the date hereof, there have been no
disagreements between us and Morgan on any matter of accounting principles
or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures which,
if not resolved to Morgan’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference
to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its
reports.
We
provided Morgan with a copy of these disclosures and requested that Morgan
furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether Morgan agreed
with
the statements that we made. The letter from Morgan is attached as Exhibit
16.1
to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 12,
2007.
As
part
of its engagement as our independent registered public accounting firm, Kabani
conducted a review of our balance sheet for the period ended February 28, 2007,
and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the nine-month
period ending February 28, 2007.
During
the period from June 1, 2005 to the date of Kabani’s engagement, neither we, nor
anyone acting on our behalf, consulted with Kabani regarding (i) the
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered
on
our financial statements, or (ii) any of the matters or events set forth in
Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S−B.
LEGAL
MATTERS
The
validity of the issuance of the common stock offered hereby will be passed
upon
for us by Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, a Professional Corporation,
Newport Beach, California.

have
filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S−1 under the Securities Act
with respect to the shares of our common stock offered hereby. This prospectus,
which constitutes part of the registration statement, does not contain all

rules and regulations of the SEC. For further information regarding our common
stock and our company, please review the registration statement, including
the
exhibits, schedules and reports filed as a part thereof. Statements in this
prospectus as to the contents of any contract or other document filed as an

instance reference is made to the copy of such document filed as an exhibit
to
the registration statement, each such statement being qualified in all respects
by such reference.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The
Board
of Directors and Stockholders
Kal
Energy, Inc.
(formerly,
Patriarch, Inc.)
We
have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of Kal Energy, Inc. (formerly Patriarch,
Inc.) as of May 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2007. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on
our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards required that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2007,
and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended May 31,
2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America .
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial
statements, the Company had incurred cumulative losses of $3,770,823 and net
losses of $3,693,152 for the year ended May 31, 2007. These factors raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the
Stockholders and Directors of
Patriarch
Inc.
(An
Exploration Stage Company)
We
have
audited the statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows
for the year ended May 31, 2006, and for the cumulative period from inception,
February 21, 2001, to May 31, 2006 of Patriarch Inc. (an exploration stage
company). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan
and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year
ended May 31, 2006, and for the cumulative period from inception, February
21,
2001, to May 31, 2006, in conformity with United States generally accepted
accounting principles.
The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit
of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration
of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial
statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has
negative cash flows, has a stockholders’ deficiency and is dependent upon
obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its activities. These factors raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of
this uncertainty.

KAL
ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(FORMERLY
PATRIARCH, INC.)
(An
Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
1.
NATURE
OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
a)
Organization and Change of Name
Kal
Energy, Inc. (formerly, Patriarch, Inc.) (“the Company” or “We”) was
incorporated on February 21, 2001 in the State of Delaware. On November
14, 2006 the majority of shareholders voted to amend the Company’s Articles of
incorporation to change the Company’s name to KAL Energy, Inc. This amendment
took effect on December 20, 2006. The Company was formed for the purpose
of acquiring exploration and exploration stage natural resource properties
and
is in the pre-exploration stage. The Company’s operations are performed by its
wholly owned subsidiary, Thatcher Mining Pte. Ltd, a corporation under the
laws
of the Republic of Singapore on formed June 8, 2006 (“Thatcher”) and acquired by
the Company on February 9, 2007. PT Kubar Resources (Kubar), a limited liability
foreign investment (PMA) company corporation under the laws of the Republic
of
Indonesia was formed on April 12, 2007, and completed its registration on June
6, 2007. Kubar is owned 99% by Thatcher and 1% by the Company, making it a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
b)
Exploration Activities
The
Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not yet
realized any revenues from its planned operations. The Company is
currently seeking opportunities for profitable operations. Costs related to
locating coal deposits and determining the extractive feasibility of such
deposits are expensed as incurred until a defined resource is
obtained.
c)
Going
Concern
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplate the realization of assets and satisfaction
of
liabilities in the normal course of business.
As
shown
in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss
of
$3,770,823 for the period from February 21, 2001 (inception) to May 31, 2007,
and has earned no revenue. The Company's ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent upon the continued financial support of its shareholders,
its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely
basis and, ultimately, to attain cash flow from profitable
operations.
Recurring
losses from operations and operating cash constraints are potential factors,
which, among others, may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue
as
a going concern for a reasonable period of time. These factors, among
others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a
going concern.
The
consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to
recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts, or the amounts
and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.
Management
has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial
requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with
the
ability to continue as a going concern. Management devoted considerable effort
from inception through the year ended May 31, 2007, towards (i) obtaining
additional equity (ii) management of accrued expenses and accounts payable
(iii)
searching for a suitable strategic partner. Management believes that the above
actions will allow the Company to continue operations through the next fiscal
year.
2.
SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles
of consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of
Kal Energy, Inc. the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Thatcher and
Kubar and the accounts of the variable interest entities, PT. Bunyut Bara
Mandiri and PT. Graha Panca Karsa (Note 8).,collectively “the Company”. All
significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in
consolidation. Kubar had no financial transactions through May 31, 2007 as
the
registration was not completed until June 6, 2007.
Use
of
estimates
The
preparation of financial statements is in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basic
and
diluted net loss per share
Net
loss
per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting
standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings per share". SFAS No. 128 superseded
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net loss per share for
all
periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128.
Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted net 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.
Stock-based
compensation
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R), which requires companies to measure and recognize compensation
expense for all stock-based payments at fair value. SFAS 123R is being
applied on the modified prospective basis. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R,
the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plans under the
recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations, and accordingly, recognized no compensation expense related
to
the stock-based plans. Under the modified prospective approach, SFAS 123R
applies to new awards and to awards that were outstanding on January 1, 2006
that are subsequently modified, repurchased or cancelled.
Cash
& cash equivalents
For
purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of
purchase to be cash equivalents.
Approximately
69 percent of our cash and cash equivalents was held in the U.S. and 31% in
a
centrally managed global cash pool outside the U.S. For most of the year the
Company maintained approximately 31 percent of our overall cash and cash
equivalents in demand deposit accounts with global financial institutions of
high credit quality which was available to be used in paying and receiving
activities. The remainder was invested in short-term bank time deposits with
fixed maturities from overnight to three months. We continuously monitored
the
creditworthiness of the financial institutions and institutional money market
funds in which we invested our surplus funds. We did not experience any credit
losses from cash investments.
Short-term
investments
We
classify investments as short-term investments if their original or remaining
maturities are greater than three months and their remaining maturities are
one
year or less. Our short-term investments consist of bank time deposits, which
by
their nature are typically held to maturity, and are classified as such because
we have the intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Held-to-maturity
securities are carried at amortized cost.
Fair
value of financial instruments
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of
Financial Instruments” requires disclosures of information about the fair value
of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument
is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts and other receivables, accounts
payable, accrued liabilities, factor payable, capital lease payable and notes
and loans payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short period
to
maturity for these instruments.
Intangible
Assets
The
Company evaluates intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets for
impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from
its
estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets, other
long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value
to
the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering
a
number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic
projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book
value
of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is
considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of
impairment loss. Potential impairment of goodwill after July 1, 2002 is being
evaluated in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The SFAS No. 142 is applicable to
the
financial statements of the Company beginning July 1, 2002.
Exploration
Expenses
Costs
related to locating coal deposits and determining the extractive feasibility
of
such deposits are expensed as incurred until a defined resource is
obtained.
Income
taxes
The
Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future
tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements
or
tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the
tax
consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets
and
liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based
on
enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which
the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized.
Recent
pronouncements
In
February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject
to
specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year
companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial
statements.
The
new
Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure
eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise
required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option
for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting
periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes
presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between
entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and
liabilities. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this
pronouncement on financial statements.
In
September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87,
88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an
employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined
benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or
liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in
that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive
income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a
not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting
by
requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date
of
its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An
employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially
recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to
provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after
December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is
required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement
plan
and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending
after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity
securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to
financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but
before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this
Statement in preparing those financial statements:
a.
A brief description of the provisions of this
Statement
b.
The date that adoption is required
c.
The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of
this Statement, if earlier.
The
requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of
the
employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently
evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
In
September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having
previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is
the
relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require
any
new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of
this
Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently
evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
In
March
2006 FASB issued SFAS 156 'Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets' this
Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the
accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.
This Statement:
1.
Requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each
time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into
a
servicing contract.
2.
Requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities
to
be initially measured at fair value, if practicable.
3.
Permits an entity to choose 'Amortization method' or 'Fair value measurement
method' for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing
liabilities.
4.
At its
initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale
securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights,
without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale
securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities
are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity's exposure to changes
in
fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects
to subsequently measure at fair value.
5.
Requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities
subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position
and
additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and
servicing liabilities.
This
Statement is effective as of the beginning of the Company's first fiscal year
that begins after September 15, 2006. Management believes that this statement
will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
In
February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid
Financial Instruments". SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", and SFAF No. 140, "Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities". SFAS No. 155, permits fair value remeasurement for any
hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise
would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and
principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133,
establishes a requirement to evaluate interest in securitized financial assets
to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid
financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation,
clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are
not embedded derivatives, and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition
on the qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial
instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative
financial instrument. This statement is effective for all financial
instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the Company's first fiscal
year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company has not evaluated
the impact of this pronouncement in its financial statements.

BUSINESS
COMBINATION
On
December 29, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) with Thatcher Mining Pte., Ltd.,
a privately held Singapore corporation (“Thatcher”). Upon the closing under the
Reorganization Agreement on February 9, 2007, the shareholders of Thatcher
delivered all of their equity interests in Thatcher to the Company in exchange
for shares of common stock in the Company, as a result of which Thatcher
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the
“Reorganization”).
Pursuant
to the Reorganization Agreement, at the closing, shareholders of Thatcher
received 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for each issued and
outstanding common share of Thatcher. As a result, at the closing, the Company
issued 32,000,000 shares of its common stock to the former shareholders of
Thatcher. The Company cancelled the loan advanced to Thatcher of $615,000 on
the
closing of the transaction and also paid $10,000 in cash to the shareholders
of
Thatcher. The Company also executed a royalty agreement pursuant to which the
Company agreed to pay the former shareholders of Thatcher a royalty of $0.40
per
metric ton of coal sold by the Company. In addition, simultaneously with closing
under the Reorganization Agreement, the Company completed a private placement
offering of a total of 17,615,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for
aggregate proceeds to the Company of $3,523,000 (the “Private Placement”). As of
May 31, 2007, 17,615,000 shares were issued and $3,523,000 cash was received.
In
conjunction with completion of the Private Placement offering, the Company
paid
legal expenses of $20,000 in cash.
The
acquisition was accounted under the Purchase method of accounting. The results
of the Company include the results of Thatcher as of February 9, 2007, through
the closing of the Reorganization Agreement. The cost of the acquisition was
$7,025,000 and a gross intangible asset of $7,085,706 is recorded.

The
Company has reduced the recorded value of the non-current assets acquired,
by
the negative goodwill of $5,632,462. The purchase price allocation for Thatcher
acquisition is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. Immediately after the execution of the definitive agreement, the
Company obtained effective control over Thatcher. Accordingly, the operating
results of Thatcher have been consolidated with those of the Company starting
February 9, 2007.
In
accordance with paragraph 44 of SFAS 142, any excess of cost over net assets
acquired shall be allocated as a pro rata reduction of the amounts that
otherwise would have been assigned to all of the acquired assets except
financial assets other then investments accounted for by the equity method,
assets to be disposed of by sale, deferred tax assets, prepaid assets relating
to pension or other postretirement benefit plans and any other current
assets.
The
value
of the shares issued by the Company in connection with this acquisition exceeded
the fair market value of the net assets acquired. Thus, “negative goodwill”
generated was allocated to reduce the cost of the non-current assets
acquired.
The
pro
forma information below shows the impact of Thatcher’s operations on the
Company’s results as if it had been combined at the beginning of the year ended
May 31, 2007 and 2006 and the period from inception to May 31, 2007,
respectively.

VARIABLE
INTEREST ENTITY
The
Company has adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46R "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities" ("FIN 46R"), an Interpretation of Accounting Research
Bulletin No. 51. FIN 46R requires a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) to be
consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk
of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE's residual
returns. VIEs are those entities in which the Company, through contractual
arrangements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated
with ownership of the entities, and therefore the company is the primary
beneficiary of these entities. Acquisitions of subsidiaries or variable interest
entities are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results
of subsidiaries or variable interest entities acquired during the year are
included in the consolidated income statements from the effective date of
acquisition.
ACCOUNTING
AFTER INITIAL MEASUREMENT OF VIE - Subsequent accounting for the assets,
liabilities, and non-controlling interest of a consolidated variable interest
entity are accounted for as if the entity were consolidated based on voting
interests and the usual accounting rules for which the VIE operates are applied
as they would to a consolidated subsidiary as follows:
·
carrying
amounts of the VIE are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company
as the primary beneficiary (referred as "Primary Beneficiary" or
"PB");
·
inter-company
transactions and balances, such as revenues and costs, receivables and payables
between or among the Primary Beneficiary and the VIE(s) are eliminated in their
entirety; and
·
because
there is no direct ownership interest by the Primary Beneficiary in the VIE,
equity of the VIE is eliminated with an offsetting credit to minority
interest.
INITIAL
MEASUREMENT OF VIE- The Company initially measures the assets, liabilities,
and
non-controlling interests of the VIEs at their fair values at the date of the
acquisitions.
At
May
31, 2007, the company provided funds to two individuals for their purchase
of
1,000,000 or 100% of the 1,000,000 outstanding shares of PT Graha Panca Karsa
(“PT GPK”) and 1,000,000 or 100% of the 1,000,000 outstanding shares of PT
Bunyut Bara Mandiri (“PT BBM”), exploration stage companies involved in the
exploration of coal concessions in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The
Company has been the sole source of funding to the shareholders of PT GPK since
2006 to acquire the shares in PT GPK through advances made under a loan
agreement. Such advances totaled $150,000 for the shareholders of PT GPK
and $125,000 for the shareholders of PT BBM, at May 31, 2007. The Company is
considered the primary beneficiary as it stands to it stands to absorb the
majority of the VIE’s expected losses.
As
of May
31, 2007, the Company has consolidated PT GPK and PT BBM’s financial statements
for the year then ended in the accompanying financial statements. PT GPK and
PT
BBM did not have any operations through May 31, 2007.

STOCK
BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE
Description
of Stock-Based Compensation Plan
Stock
Incentive Plan (SIP) Effective April 27, 2007, we adopted the SIP. Under the
provisions of the SIP, the company may grant stock options, stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock awards to our
officers, directors and key employees, as well as to consultants and other
persons who provide services to us. The SIP has a maximum contractual term
of
ten years. As of May 31, 2007, securities authorized and available for issuance
in connection with our SIP were 10,775,000. Under the terms of the SIP, in
no
event shall the number of shares authorized for issuance in connection with
the
SIP exceed 12 million shares.
Valuation
Assumptions
For
all
periods presented, the fair value of stock-based compensation made under the
SIP
was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The
weighted average assumptions used for options granted, ESPP purchases and the
LTPP in 2007 was as follows:

We
used a
historical volatility assumption to derive our expected volatility assumption.
We also considered that this is an exploration phase enterprise and as such,
the
expected volatility should be higher than that of established mining companies.
The same applies to our assumption regarding the expected life of our options.
The early stage of our Company makes us assume a conservative position that
it
will take longer for the options to achieve their value.

EXPLORATION
EXPENDITURES
In
2006,
Thatcher commenced exploration in properties in Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Exploration expenses were performed by outside contractors, who billed all
resources used individually between manpower, travel, equipment rentals, phone
and other expenses. The bulk of all expenditures was manpower, including the
chief geologist, operations manager, site manager and site personnel from
various contractors, and were utilized to make preliminary assessments of the
properties providing mining services for initial property assessment and
preparing for the phase I drilling program. The initial measurements of the
quantity and quality of coal seams were made on two properties in East
Kalimantan, Indonesia as well as study the logistics for processing the coal
in
site and delivering it to customers. Site expenses include all site maintenance
costs as well as operating costs such as fuel and camps.

two tax jurisdictions - the Singapore and the United States. For operations
in
the United States of America and the Singapore, the Company has incurred net
accumulated operating losses for income tax purposes The Company believes that
it is more likely than not that these net accumulated operating losses will
not
be utilized in the future. Therefore, the Company has provided full valuation
allowance for the deferred tax assets arising from the losses at these locations
as of May 31, 2007. Accordingly, the Company has no net deferred tax
assets.

United
States of America
As
of May
31, 2007, the Company’s subsidiary in the United States of America had
approximately $1,674,019 in net operating loss carry forwards available to
offset future taxable income. Federal net operating losses can generally be
carried forward 20 years. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the use of net
operating loss and tax credit carry forwards in certain situations when changes
occur in the stock ownership of a company. In the event the Company has a change
in ownership, utilization of carry forwards could be restricted. The deferred
tax assets for the United States entity at May 31, 2007 consists mainly of
net
operating loss carry forwards and were fully reserved as the management believes
it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the
future.
The
following table sets forth the significant components of the net deferred tax
assets for operation in the United States of America as of May 31, 2007 and

Pursuant
to the Singapore Income Tax Laws, the Corporate Income Tax is at a statutory
rate of 20%. Unutilised tax losses and capital allowances may be carried forward
indefinitely to offset future taxable income provided that the beneficial
ownership of the company remains substantially (at least 50%) the same as at
certain relevant dates. For capital allowances, there is an additional
requirement that the same trade or business in respect of which these capital
allowances were made continues to be carried on. Carrybacks or transfers to
other companies are not permitted.

KAL
ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FORMERLY
PATRIARCH INC.)
(An
Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
1.
NATURE
OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
a)
Organization and Change of Name
Kal
Energy, Inc. (formerly, Patriarch, Inc.) (“the Company” or “We”) was
incorporated on February 21, 2001 in the State of Delaware. On November 14,
2006, the Company’s stockholders voted to amend the Company’s Articles of
incorporation to change the Company’s name to KAL Energy, Inc. This amendment
took effect on December 20, 2006. The Company was formed for the purpose
of
acquiring and developing exploration stage natural resource properties. The
Company is in the exploration stage. The Company’s operations are carried out by
its wholly owned subsidiary, Thatcher Mining Pte. Ltd, a corporation formed
under the laws of the Republic of Singapore on June 8, 2006 (“Thatcher”) and
acquired by the Company on February 9, 2007. The Company formed PT Kubar
Resources (“Kubar”), a limited liability foreign investment (PMA) company
corporation under the laws of the Republic of Indonesia on April 12, 2007,
and
completed its registration on June 6, 2007. Kubar is owned 99% by Thatcher
and
1% by the Company, making it a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The
Company acquired Finchley Resources Pte. Ltd. (Finchley), a corporation formed
under the laws of the Republic of Singapore on September 12, 2007.
b)
Exploration Activities
The
Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not
yet
realized any revenues from its planned operations. The Company is
currently seeking opportunities for profitable operations. Costs related
to
locating coal deposits and determining the extractive feasibility of such
deposits are expensed as incurred.
c)
Going
Concern
The
Company’s interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which contemplate the realization of assets and satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business.
As
shown
in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net
loss of
$12,941,828 for the period from February 21, 2001 (inception) to February
29,
2008. In addition, the Company’s current liabilities exceed its cash balance by
$4,054,788, of which $3,829,510 are non cash stock based liabilities, and
has no
revenue. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon the continued financial support of its stockholders, its ability to
generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and,
ultimately, to attain cash flow from profitable operations.
Recurring
losses from operations and operating cash constraints are potential factors,
which, among others, may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue
as
a going concern for a reasonable period of time. These factors, among
others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a
going concern.
The
interim financial statements do not include adjustments relating to
recoverability and classification of recorded assets amounts, or the amounts
and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company
be
unable to continue as a going concern.
Management
has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial
requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with
the
ability to continue as a going concern. Management devoted considerable effort
from inception through the quarter ended February 29, 2008, towards (i)
additional working capital through the issuance of the Company’s equity
securities, (ii) reduction of its recurring operational costs, (iii) management
of accrued expenses and accounts payable, and (iv) the pursuit of a suitable
strategic partner. Management believes that the above actions will allow
the
Company to continue operations through the next fiscal year.
2.
SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of
presentation
The
accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared
in
accordance with rules set forth in Regulation SB promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these statements do not include all
disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles and should
be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in
the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007. In the opinion
of
the Company’s management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring
accruals
have
been
made to the financial statements. The results of operation for the nine months
ended February 29, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be
expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2008.
Principles
of consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of
Kal Energy, Inc. the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, Thatcher,
PT
Kubar and Finchley, and the accounts of the variable interest entities, PT.
Bunyut Bara Mandiri and PT. Graha Panca Karsa (Note 8), collectively “the
Company”. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of
estimates
The
preparation of financial statements is in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles which requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basic
and
diluted net loss per share
Net
loss
per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting
standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings per share". SFAS No. 128 superseded
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net loss per share for
all
periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128.
Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted net 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.
Intangible
Assets
The
Company evaluates intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets
for
impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from
its
estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets, other
long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value
to
the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering
a
number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic
projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book
value
of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is
considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount
of
impairment loss. Potential impairment of goodwill after July 1, 2002 is being
evaluated in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The SFAS No. 142 is applicable
to the
financial statements of the Company beginning July 1, 2002.
Recent
pronouncements
In
September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures
about
fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board
having
previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is
the
relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require
any
new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application
of this
Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently
evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
In
September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87,
88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an
employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined
benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset
or
liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes
in
that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive
income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a
not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting
by
requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date
of
its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An
employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially
recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and
to
provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending
after
December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities
is
required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement
plan
and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year
ending
after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity
securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes
to
financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but
before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of
this
Statement in preparing those financial statements:
|
a.
|
A
brief description of the provisions of this Statement
|
|
b.
|
The
date that adoption is required
|
|
c.
|
The
date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of
this
Statement, if earlier.
|
The
requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date
of the
employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently
evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
In
February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option
for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject
to
specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year
companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial
statements.
The
new
Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure
eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise
required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value
option
for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting
periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes
presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between
entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and
liabilities. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this
pronouncement on financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest
in
a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that
a
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year
beginning October 1, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the effect
of this
pronouncement on financial statements.
In
March
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve
financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location
and
amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect
its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Management
is
currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This
Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains
the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method
of
accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all
business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business
combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements
for how
the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling
interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired
in
the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines
what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements
to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS
No.
141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009.
While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if
any,
that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements,
the
Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after
September 30, 2009. The management is currently evaluating the effect of
this
pronouncement on financial statements.

BUSINESS
COMBINATION
On
September 12, 2007, the Company acquired the operations of Finchley. The
transaction was transfer from the shareholder of Finchley to the Company.
Finchley had no assets and only had expenses from its incorporation. The
entity
was acquired for the purpose of conducting exploration in Mongolia.
On
December 29, 2006, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”) with Thatcher. Upon the closing
under the Reorganization Agreement on February 9, 2007, the shareholders
of
Thatcher delivered all of their equity interests in Thatcher to the Company
in
exchange for shares of common stock in the Company, as a result of which
Thatcher became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the
“Reorganization”).
Pursuant
to the Reorganization Agreement, at the closing, shareholders of Thatcher
received 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for each issued and
outstanding common share of Thatcher. As a result, at the closing, the Company
issued 32,000,000 shares of its common stock to the former shareholders of
Thatcher.
In
addition, simultaneously with closing under the Reorganization Agreement,
the
Company completed a private placement offering of a total of 17,615,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock for aggregate proceeds to the Company of
$3,523,000 (the “Private Placement”). As of February 28, 2007, 17,115,000 shares
were issued and $3,423,000 cash was received. In conjunction with completion
of
the Private Placement, the Company paid consulting fees of $68,000 and legal
expenses of $20,000 in cash, and also issued a total of 1,112,500 shares
of
restricted stock as compensation for certain legal services and as payment
of
consulting fees.
The
acquisition was accounted under the Purchase method of accounting. The results
of the Company include the results of Thatcher as of February 9, 2007, through
the closing of the Reorganization Agreement. The cost of the acquisition
was
$6,400,000 and goodwill $6,421,929 is recorded.

acquired and liabilities assumed:

The
Company has reduced the recorded value of the non-current assets acquired,
by
the negative goodwill of $5,632,462. The purchase price allocation for Thatcher
acquisition is based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. Immediately after the execution of the definitive agreement, the
Company obtained effective control over Thatcher. Accordingly, the operating
results of Thatcher have been consolidated with those of the Company starting
February 9, 2007.
In
accordance with paragraph 44 of SFAS 142, any excess of cost over net assets
acquired shall be allocated as a pro rata reduction of the amounts that
otherwise would have been assigned to all of the acquired assets except
financial assets other then investments accounted for by the equity method,
assets to be disposed of by sale, deferred tax assets, prepaid assets relating
to pension or other postretirement benefit plans and any other current assets.
The
value
of the shares issued by the Company in connection with this acquisition exceeded
the fair market value of the net assets acquired. Thus, “negative goodwill”
generated was allocated to reduce the cost of the non-current assets
acquired.
The
pro
forma information below shows the impact of Thatcher’s operations on the
Company’s results as if it had been combined at the beginning of the three month
period ended August 31, 2006 and period from inception to February 29, 2008,
respectively.

VARIABLE
INTEREST ENTITY
The
Company has adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46R "Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities" ("FIN 46R"), an Interpretation of Accounting Research
Bulletin No. 51. FIN 46R requires a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) to be
consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the
risk
of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE's residual
returns. VIEs are those entities in which the Company, through contractual
arrangements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated
with ownership of the entities, and therefore the company is the primary
beneficiary of these entities. Acquisitions of subsidiaries or variable interest
entities are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The results
of subsidiaries or variable interest entities acquired during the year are
included in the consolidated income statements from the effective date of
acquisition.
ACCOUNTING
AFTER INITIAL MEASUREMENT OF VIE - Subsequent accounting for the assets,
liabilities, and non-controlling interest of a consolidated variable interest
entity are accounted for as if the entity were consolidated based on voting
interests and the usual accounting rules for which the VIE operates are applied
as they would to a consolidated subsidiary as follows:
|
·
|
carrying
amounts of the VIE are consolidated into the financial statements
of the
Company as the primary beneficiary (referred to as "Primary
Beneficiary"
or "PB");
|
|
·
|
inter-company
transactions and balances, such as revenues and costs, receivables
and
payables between or among the Primary Beneficiary and the
VIE(s) are
eliminated in their entirety; and
|
|
·
|
because
there is no direct ownership interest by the Primary Beneficiary
in the
VIE, equity of the VIE is eliminated with an offsetting credit
to minority
interest.
|
INITIAL
MEASUREMENT OF VIE- The Company initially measures the assets, liabilities,
and
non-controlling interests of the VIEs at their fair values at the date of
the
acquisitions.
On
February 28, 2007, the Company provided funds to two individuals for their
purchase of 1,000,000 or 100% of the 1,000,000 outstanding shares of PT Graha
Panca Karsa (“PT GPK”) and 1,000,000 or 100% of the 1,000,000 outstanding shares
of PT Bunyut Bara Mandiri (“PT BBM”), exploration stage companies involved in
the exploration of coal concessions in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.
The Company has been the sole source of funding to the shareholders of PT
GPK
since 2006 to acquire the shares in PT GPK through advances made under a
loan
agreement. Such advances totaled $175,000 for the shareholders of PT GPK
and $150,000 for the shareholders of PT BBM, at February 29, 2008. The Company
is considered the primary beneficiary as it stands to it stands to absorb
the
majority of the VIE’s expected losses.
As
of
February 29, 2008, the Company has consolidated PT GPK and PT BBM’s financial
statements for the three month period then ended in the accompanying financial
statements. PT GPK and PT BBM did not have any operations through February
29,
2008.

EXPLORATION
EXPENDITURES
In
2006,
Thatcher commenced exploration in properties in Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Exploration expenses were performed by outside contractors, who billed all
resources used individually between manpower, travel, equipment rentals,
phone
and other expenses. The bulk of all expenditures was manpower, including
the
chief geologist, operations manager, site manager and site personnel from
various contractors, and were utilized to make preliminary assessments of
the
properties providing mining services for initial property assessment and
conducting the Phase I Drilling Program. Initial measurements of the quantity
and quality of coal seams were made on two properties in East Kalimantan,
Indonesia as well as studying the logistics for processing the coal in site
and
delivering it to customers. Additionally, the Company has performed due
diligence exploration in Mongolia, on a property for potential acquisition.

STOCK
BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE
Description
of Stock-Based Compensation Plan
Stock
Incentive Plan (SIP) Effective April 27, 2007, we adopted the SIP. Under
the
provisions of the SIP, the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock awards to our
officers, directors and key employees, as well as to consultants and other
persons who provide services to us. The SIP has a maximum contractual term
of
ten years. As of February 29, 2008, securities authorized and available for
issuance in connection with our SIP were 8,491,667. Under the terms of the
SIP,
in no event shall the number of shares authorized for issuance in connection
with the SIP exceed 12 million shares.
Valuation
Assumptions
For
all
periods presented, the fair value of stock-based compensation made under
the SIP
was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The
weighted average assumptions used for options granted, ESPP purchases and
the
LTPP in 2007 was as follows:
|

|
|
We
used a
historical volatility assumption to derive our expected volatility assumption.
We also considered that this is an exploration phase enterprise and as such,
the
expected volatility should be higher than that of established mining companies.
The same applies to our assumption
regarding
the expected life of our options. The early stage of our Company makes us
assume
a conservative position that it will take longer for the options to achieve
their value.
