OF
KAL
ENERGY, INC.
COMMON
STOCK
This
is a
resale prospectus for the resale of up to 43,686,734 shares of our common
stock
by the selling stockholders listed in this prospectus. These shares may be
sold
by the selling stockholders from time to time in the over-the-counter market

at negotiated prices or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time
of
sale.
Approximately
28 of our stockholders are offering shares of our common stock to the public
by
means of this prospectus. As of October 21, 2008, we had
134,416,172
shares

registration incurred in connection with this offering, but all selling and
other expenses incurred by the selling stockholders will be borne by
them.
Our
common stock is quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc.’s
Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, or the OTC Bulletin Board, under the symbol
“KALG.OB.” The high and low sale prices for shares of our common stock on
October 27, 2008, were $0.06 and $0.055 per share, respectively, based upon
bids
that represent prices quoted by broker-dealers on the OTC Bulletin Board.
These
quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down

PROSPECTUS
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
formed
PT Kubar Resources, or Kubar, a limited liability foreign investment (PMA)
company under the laws of the Republic of Indonesia on April 12, 2007, and
completed its registration on June 6, 2007. Kubar will be our operating company
for Indonesia.
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
now
carry on the business of Thatcher as our sole line of business and all of
our
operations are conducted by and through Thatcher or its subsidiaries. All
references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods prior to the
closing of the reorganization transaction refer to KAL Energy, and references

the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods subsequent to the closing of the
reorganization transaction 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 and/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.
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.
As
of May
31, 2008, we had approximately $1,944,567 in cash and cash equivalents in
our
accounts. We estimate that we will need approximately US$5,000,000 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 had subscription agreements for $9,103,010 which
were
expected to close on a rolling basis through June 15, 2008. We refer to this
financing as the June 2008 Financing. We collected $5,803,010 through June
15,
2008. One investor in the June 2008 Financing initially subscribed to purchase
26,666,667 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $4,000,000. Such investor had previously advanced
$700,000 to us as part of the outstanding balance for its subscribed shares.
We
informed such investor that the deadline for payment of the remaining balance
of
$3,300,000 would be June 13, 2008. On June 13, 2008, such investor informed
us
that it would be unable to tender payment of the remaining balance on that
date.
On June 17, 2008, we and the investor amended such investor’s subscription
agreement to reduce the number of subscribed shares from 26,666,667 to 4,666,667
for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $700,000. We accepted such
investor’s amended subscription for the reduced number of shares and agreed to
reduce the total size of the June 2008 Financing from 60,686,732 offered
shares
to 38,686,732 offered shares for total gross proceeds to us of approximately
$5,803,010. We closed the March 2008 Financing on June 17, 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.
Additionally, the GPK property requires an additional permit from the Forestry
department before Phase II can proceed. We are in the process of obtaining
this
permit.
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, our President and 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 Jorge Nigaglioni, our Chief Financial
Officer, 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 benefit 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 national securities exchange.

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 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
formed
PT Kubar Resources, or Kubar, a limited liability foreign investment (PMA)
company under the laws of the Republic of Indonesia on April 12, 2007, and
completed its registration on June 6, 2007. Kubar will be our operating company
for Indonesia.
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
now
carry on the business of Thatcher as our sole line of business and all of
our
operations are conducted by and through Thatcher or its subsidiaries. All
references to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods prior to the
closing of the reorganization transaction refer to KAL Energy, and references
to
the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods subsequent to the closing of the
reorganization transaction refer to KAL Energy and its
subsidiaries.
Current
Activities
Our
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 completed phase 1 drilling and obtained
a
Joint Ore Reserves Committee, or JORC, compliant resource measurement on
one of
the properties and require additional work to determine the economic viability
of the deposit. The result of the programme is an inferred resource of 204
million tons of thermal coal. See item 2 for a further description of the
results of the phase I programme.
There
is
no assurance that a commercially viable coal deposit exists on the unexplored
portion of 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& sub-bituminous) to
hard coals (bituminous & 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
the 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 7% per year over the past
20
years and, according to the WCI, the Pacific Rim market currently accounts
for
approximately 57% of the total amount of steam coal traded annually. Thermal
coal is the largest contributor of this trade and Indonesia is currently
the
number two 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 the region. 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. EIA estimates that world coal consumption
will
grow 74% from 2004 to 2030 and that coal’s share of energy consumption will grow
from 24% to 28% from 2004 to 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 production 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 49% to 72% of the energy production in Asian
markets. The price of coal as compared to natural gas and oil drives that
increased use in the region.
Employees
As
of May
31, 2008, we employed 32 people, each on a full-time basis. To the best of
our
knowledge, we are compliant with local prevailing wage, contractor licensing
and
insurance regulations, and have good relations with our employees.

area
of interest is in the vicinity of Melak, close to Senadawar, the 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 blocks lie close
to the
Mahakam River. Each block is10,000 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 KPs, 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 KPs 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
KPs
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. Applications for the extensions of the KP's have
been
submitted and await approval by the Regency.
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, 2008,
as a
variable interest entity, as we currently stand to absorb the majority of
the
variable interest entity’s expected losses. We have commenced a change
in the ownership of GPK and BBM in accordance with the terms of the
aforementioned agreements. Article 127 of Company Law requires that any change
of more than 50% shareholding requires a newspaper announcement, with closing
to
occur no earlier than 30 days following the announcement. We expect to
complete these transactions in the next 45 days.
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 have
instructed GPK and BBM to apply for extensions of their respective KPs prior
to
their expiration. The applications have been submitted and are awaiting approval
by the Regency. Although we anticipate that the KPs will be renewed prior
to
their expiration, there is no assurance that the governing body will grant
such
renewal. Additionally, the GPK property requires an additional permit from
the
Forestry department before Phase II can proceed. We are in the process of
obtaining this permit.
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

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 neighboring basin.
In
Block
24, coal seams up to 8 m thick have been recorded. Some 92% of the outcrops
recorded in the block have dips under 10 degrees. Gently rolling topography
combined with shallow dips (dip-slope) will ensure favorable stripping ratios.
The program yielded a collection of coal samples that were analyzed for
moisture, ash, sulphur 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 JORC, code compliant
resource statement for the GPK site on June 11, 2007. The competent persons
reported Inferred Resources of 204 million tons of thermal coal. The coal
properties are as below:

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
You
should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results
of
operations together with our financial statements and related notes included
elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion may contain forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements due
to
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those
risks
discussed under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this
prospectus.
Results
of Operations
Three-month
period ended August 31, 2008 compared to the three-month period ended August
31,
2007
Revenue
We
have
not earned any revenue from our operations from the date of our inception
on
February 21, 2001 through August 31, 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
Exploration
expenses for the three month period ended August 31, 2008 decreased to $379,916,
as compared to $1,425,746 for the three month period ended August 31, 2007.
The
decrease is related to the high expenditure rate from the finish of the Phase
I
exploration phase of the PT Graha Panca Karsa concession and the continued
work
on site. Our operations in 2008 have focused on preparation work for the
PT
Bunyut Bara Mandiri concession.
Stock-based
Compensation Expense
Stock-based
compensation expense for the three month period ended August 31, 2008 decreased
to $209,992, as compared to $1,527,396 for the three month period ended August
31, 2007. The decrease is mainly due to the cancellation of 8,145,417 stock
option and restricted stock grants since August 31, 2008 against grants of
only
4,115,000 issued under our equity compensation plan. The Company recorded
a one
time credit of $343,585 during the quarter ended August 31, 2008 for unvested
grants cancelled during the quarter. The Company has expensed $2,219,764
for
cancelled grants that vested but were not exercised since the inception of
the
plan.
General
and Administrative Expense
General
and administrative expense for the three month period ended August 31, 2008
increased to $411,760, as compared to $376,317 for the three month period
ended
August 31, 2007. The increase is mainly due to an increase in executive salaries
and relocation costs related to the relocation of our principal executive
offices.
Professional
and Consulting Fees
Professional
and consulting fees for the three month period ended August 31, 2008 increased
to $398,051, as compared to $210,277 for the three month period ended August
31,
2007. The increase is mainly due to expenses related to the search fees for
a
new chief executive officer and other personnel, consulting fees related
to the
resolution of our June 2008 private placement offering of common stock and
ongoing legal and accounting fees.
Loss
Net
loss
for the three month period ended August 31, 2008 decreased to $1,335,997,
as
compared to a net loss of $3,526,901 for the three month period ended August
31,
2007. The increase in income was mostly due to reductions in exploration
expenditures, reductions in the administrative costs of the company and the
reductions due to the cancellation of stock option and restricted stock grants
issued under our equity compensation plan as 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 $16,390,008 due primarily to continued spending
on
our exploration programmes.
Capital
Resources
As
of
August 31, 2008, we had current assets of $1,512,450, consisting of $1,190,573
in cash and cash equivalents, $75,450 in other receivables and $246,427 in
prepaid expenses and deposits. This is a decrease of $631,368 from May 31,
2008.
We have not completed our fundraising efforts and have used our cash reserves
during the quarter to fund our operations.
Liabilities
As
of
August 31, 2008, we had liabilities of $983,525, consisting of accounts payable
of $462,597 and accrued liabilities of $520,928. This is a decrease of $313,934
from May 31, 2008. We issued $700,000 of shares of our common stock during
the
quarter that were recorded as a liability as of May 31, 2008. That was partially
offset by an increase in liabilities from operations at the quarter
end.

Year
ended May 31, 2008 compared to the year ended May 31,
2007
Revenue
We
have
not earned any revenue from operations from our incorporation on February
21,
2001 to May 31, 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 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
Exploration
Expenses
During
our fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, we incurred $3,140,838 of exploration
expenses, as compared to $1,228,807 of exploration expenses for
the
year
ended May 31, 2007. This increase in exploration expense 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, the exploration of a coal concession
in Mongolia 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 manpower expense of approximately $1,552,421 for the
year
ended May 31, 2008 versus $500,325 for the year ended May 31, 2007. This
increase in manpower expense is due primarily to the difference in months
under
exploration of twelve in 2008 as compared to four in 2007. Site
expenses
incurred were approximately $816,333 for the year ended May 31, 2008 as compared
to $407,740 for the year ended May 31, 2007. These include on site facilities,
catering, paving and telecommunications. Equipment expense of approximately
$481,205 was incurred for the year ended May 31, 2008 as compared to $178,899
for the year ended May 31, 2007. We incurred travel expense of approximately
$290,879 for the year ended May 31, 2008 as compared to $141,843 for the
year
ended May 31, 2007. This includes the travel to and within Kalimantan,
Indonesia, as well as travel to Mongolia and other prospective properties
under
evaluation.
We
spent
$2,768,948 in coal concessions in Indonesia and $371,890 in due diligence
exploration in Mongolia. 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.
Stock
Based Compensation Expense
We
incurred stock based compensation expense of $4,883,059 for the year ended
May
31, 2008 as compared to $1,301,372 for the year ended May 31,
2007.
This increase resulted from operating under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan
for a
full year versus one month in 2007. We reduced the number of our
employees
and consultants as part of our ongoing efforts to reduce operating costs
during
the last two quarters of 2008. Those efforts resulted in a reduction of
stock
based compensation. A one time reduction of $1,115,798 was recorded in the
fourth quarter to reflect the impact of the grant cancellations. The net
fourth
quarter
expense of $330,788 is not indicative of the ongoing expense. The recurring
expense in the fourth quarter was $1,243,713.
General
and Administrative Expense
We
incurred general and administrative expense of $1,980,357 for the year ended
May
31, 2008 as compared to $552,025 for the year ended May 31,
2007,
with the increase resulting from a full year of operations in 2008 as compared
to four months of operations in 2007. The primary expense was related to
salaries and fees for our officers and directors. We also leased offices
in
London, Singapore and Jakarta during the year ended May 31, 2008. The expense
also
covers
the amortization of intangible assets of $88,571 per quarter. Travel also
contributed to the high run rate, although we curtailed travel in the later
quarters of 2008 as part of our cost controls.
Professional
Expenses
Professional
and consulting fees for the year ended May 31, 2008 increased to $732,921,
as
compared to $642,835 for the year ended May 31, 2007.
This
increase in professional fees reflects our operations over the course of
an
entire year as compared to four months in 2007. We use the services of legal
counsel
and accountants in all the countries in which we operate to ensure compliance
with applicable laws and regulatory filings. We also used the services of
Mining
House Ltd during the year ended May 31, 2008.
Loss
Net
loss
for the year ended May 31, 2008 increased to $10,647,276, as compared to
$3,693,152 for the year ended May 31, 2007. 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, 2008, we had assets recorded at $8,757,144 consisting of cash of $1,944,567,
accounts receivable of 75,945, prepaid expense and other current assets of
$123,307 and an intangible asset of $6,613,326. We are dependent upon obtaining
additional financing to fund our activities to move from our exploration
activities to our initial production.
Cash
Used In Operating Activities
Our
net
cash used in operating activities decreased by $4,911,598 in our fiscal year
ended May 31, 2008, as compared to $2,031,453 used in operating
activities
during our fiscal year ended May 31, 2007. This increase use of $2,880,145
resulted primarily from the increase in exploration, general and administrative
expenses discussed above.
Cash
Provided By Investing Activities
Our
net
cash provided by investing activities did not change in our fiscal year ended
May 31, 2008, as compared to $191,054 provided by investing activities during
our fiscal year ended May 31, 2007. This decrease of $191,054 resulted primarily
from the lack of our investing activity during the year ended
May
31,
2008.
Cash
Provided By Financing Activities
Our
net
cash provided by financing activities increased by $6,126,539 in our fiscal
year
ended May 31, 2008, as compared to $2,568,185 provided by
financing
activities during our fiscal year ended May 31, 2007. This increase of
$3,558,354 resulted primarily from the capital raise of the June 2008
Financing.
Liabilities
Our
liabilities at May 31, 2008 totaled $1,297,459 and consisted of various payables
to our service providers as well as $700,000 of shares to be issued to certain
of our investors.

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.

Director
|
Our
executive officers are elected annually by the board of directors. Our directors
serve one year terms or until their successors are elected. Mr. Varano and
Mr.
Bloking oversee the audit, nominating or compensation committees. During
the
first half of our fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, such applicable functions
were
performed by the board of directors as a whole. We do not currently have
an
audit committee financial expert but our board of directors is in the process
of
appointing a director who qualifies as an audit committee financial
expert. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, the board of directors
held seven formal meetings. There are no family relationships among any of
the
directors, nominees or executive officers.
Other
than our officers, we currently have no other significant employees.

Compensation
of Directors
We
use a
combination of cash and stock-based incentive compensation to attract and
retain
qualified candidates to serve on our board of directors. In setting director
compensation, we consider the demands that have been placed and will continue
to
be placed on the directors, the relatively small number of current directors
and
the skill-level required by our directors.
Director
Fees
Our
director fees are based on each director’s role on our board of directors. The
chairman of the board is paid $84,000 in annual fees for his non-executive
duties. The independent directors are paid $50,000 in annual fees for their
non-executive duties.
Stock
Awards
Stock
compensation is awarded to our directors based on their involvement with
our
board of directors. Our goal is to develop a compensation plan that is
competitive with our industry peers in order to attract the highest quality
individuals to serve on our board of directors. Stock awards are granted
to
cover the period of time that our directors will remain in service on our
board
of directors. The type of stock award that we grant to our directors is
determined based upon applicable tax laws for the director’s country of
residence.
Our
board
of directors has determined that it is appropriate to reevaluate director
compensation decisions every twelve (12) months to ensure that it is
commensurate with the required level of director activity, the number of
non-employee directors sitting on our board of directors, and such other
factors
as the board of directors deems relevant at the time.

EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION
COMPENSATION
DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Compensation
Overview
Compensation
for our executive officers is designed to attract and retain people who share
our vision and values and who can execute our strategic goals. We have a
very
knowledgeable employee base and the executive talent that we have sought
over
the past several years, and continue to seek, is capable of leveraging the
skills of our employees and our unique assets to increase stockholder
value.
Compensation
Philosophy and Objectives
Our
overall executive compensation philosophy is based on a series of guiding
principles derived from our values, business strategy, and management
requirements. These principles are summarized as follows:
|
·
|
Provide
competitive levels of total compensation which will enable us to
attract
and retain the best possible executive talent within our
industry;
|
|
·
|
Motivate
executive officers to achieve optimum individual
performance;
|
|
·
|
Align
the financial interest of our executive officers and stockholders
through
equity-based plans;
|
|
·
|
Provide
a compensation program that recognizes individual contributions
as well as
our overall business results; and
|
|
·
|
Ensure
that executive compensation-related disclosures are made to the
public on
a timely basis.
|
Role
of the Compensation Committee
The
compensation committee of the board of directors, comprised of two (2)
directors, oversees our executive compensation programs. The key elements
of
these programs are base salary and equity participation. The compensation
committee met one (1) time during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008. During
the
first half of our fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, the functions of a
compensation committee were performed by our full board of
directors.
The
key
responsibilities of the compensation committee include:
|
·
|
Reviewing
and establishing compensation and benefits practices and policies
to
ensure that they provide appropriate motivation for corporate performance
and increased stockholder value.
|
|
·
|
Overseeing
the administration of our 2007 Stock Incentive
Plan.
|
|
·
|
Reviewing
and approving compensation for our executive officers, including
base
salary and equity-based awards.
|
Role
of Management in the Compensation Determination Process
While
we
do not have any specific policies that would prevent members of our management
team from participating in the executive compensation decision-making process,
management has historically played a limited role in the compensation
determination process. At the request of the compensation committee, our
principal executive officer may occasionally make proposals to the compensation
committee regarding compensation related matters. However, our principal
executive officer and other management personnel typically do not attend
compensation committee meetings.
Total
Compensation for Executive Officers
The
compensation packages offered to our executive officers are comprised of
one or
more of the following elements:
|
·
|
Long-term
equity incentive compensation.
|
We
do not
have any formal policies which dictate the amount to be paid with respect
to
each element, nor do we have any policies which dictate the proportion of
the
various elements. We also do not have any formal policies for allocating
between
cash and non-cash compensation or short-term and long-term compensation.
Instead, we rely on the judgment of the compensation committee and input
and
feedback from our management team.
Each
of
our compensation components is described in more detail below.
Base
Salary
We
provide our executive officers with base salary to compensate them for services
rendered during the fiscal year. The purpose of base salary is to reflect
job
responsibilities, value to us and competitiveness of the market.
Base
salaries
for our executive officers are determined
based
on
the nature and responsibility of the position,
salary
norms for comparable positions
,
the
expertise of the individual executive
,
and
the
competitiveness of the market for the executive officer’s
services.
Merit
increases for our executive officers are subject to the same budgetary
guidelines as apply to all other employees. Executive officer salaries are
considered for adjustment annually as part of our annual review
process.
Long-Term
Equity Compensation
The
compensation committee believes that long-term stock compensation is a valuable
employee retention tool, encourages participants to focus on our long-term
performance and provides an opportunity for executive officers to increase
their
stake in us through stock option grants and restricted stock awards.
Accordingly, we have the ability to issue stock options and grant restricted
stock awards according to our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. Through our equity
compensation programs, we aim to align our executive officer’s interests with
those of our stockholders by enhancing the link between creation of stockholder
value and long-term executive incentive compensation.
All
awards of stock options are made at or above the market price of the underlying
stock at the time of the award. The authority to make grants of equity incentive
awards rests with the compensation committee, subject to ratification by
the
full board of directors.
Stock
Options
.
In our
fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, we awarded 500,000 stock options to our named
executive officers. The number of stock options granted to an executive officer
is based upon the executive officer’s position and level of responsibility. We
do not issue discounted stock options or permit the repricing of previously
issued options. Stock options have a ten (10) year term and generally vest
ratably over either a two-year or four-year period. We utilize the Black-Scholes
option pricing model for valuing stock option awards.
Restricted
Stock
.
In our
fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, we awarded 1,000,000 shares of restricted
common
stock to our named executive officers. As with stock options, the number
of
shares of restricted stock that may be awarded to a named executive officer
in
the future, if any, will be based upon the executive’s position and level of
responsibility.
Perquisites
and Other Benefits
We
provide our executive officers with various health and welfare programs and
other employee benefits which are generally available on the same cost-sharing
basis to all of our employees.
Employment
Agreements
We
had an
employment agreement with Cameron Reynolds, our former President and Chief
Executive Officer. Mr. Reynolds was compensated with an annual salary of
$66,000. The term of the agreement was five years. Pursuant to the terms
of Mr.
Reynolds’ employment agreement, we granted him options to purchase 1,000,000
shares of our common stock, which began vesting on November 1, 2007. Mr.
Reynolds resigned as our President and Chief Executive Officer effective
as of
November 13, 2007.
We
had
employment terms with Mr. Martin Hurley, our former President and Chief
Executive Officer. Mr. Hurley was compensated with a base salary of $200,000
per
year. Mr. Hurley also received 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock, which
vest
in equal installments of 250,000 shares every six months beginning November
1,
2007, and options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of common stock, which
vest
in equal 25% installments every six months beginning May 1, 2008. Mr. Hurley
resigned as our President and Chief Executive Officer effective May 20,
2008.
We
have a
compensation agreement with Mr. William Bloking, our current President and
Chairman of our board of directors, pursuant to which we will compensate
Mr.
Bloking for his services to us at the rate of $300,000 per year, beginning
June
1, 2008 and continuing until such time as we appoint a Chief Executive Officer.
Effective upon our appointment of a Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bloking’s
compensation will be reduced to $84,000 per year, his prior rate of
compensation.
We
have
an employment agreement with Mr. Jorge Nigaglioni, our Chief Financial Officer.
Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Nigaglioni is entitled to
an
annual base salary of $180,000. The employment agreement also provides for
equity incentive compensation to be awarded to Mr. Nigaglioni under our equity
incentive plans, as determined from time to time by our board of directors,
and
entitles Mr. Nigaglioni to participate in any performance-based cash
compensation plans that may be implemented by our board of directors. The
employment agreement further provides for severance compensation equal to
six
months of base salary upon Mr. Nigaglioni terminating his employment with
the
Company for “good reason.” For purposes of the employment agreement, “good
reason” includes (a) the assignment of duties that are materially inconsistent
with Mr. Nigaglioni’s current duties, including, without limitation, a material
diminution or reduction in his office or responsibilities or a reduction
in his
rate of annual base salary, bonus or other compensation or a change in Mr.
Nigaglioni’s reporting relationship, (b) the occurrence of a change in control
pursuant to which Mr. Nigaglioni is not employed by the surviving entity,
(c)
our breach of a material provision of the employment agreement that we do
not
cure, or (d) our insolvency or liquidation. Any severance payment will be
paid
by us to Mr. Nigaglioni in accordance with our normal payroll
practices.
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Our
compensation committee consists of Messrs. Bloking and Varano. None of our
executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served,
as a
member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity
that
has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors or
compensation committee.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
We
entered into a loan agreement with Concord International, or Concord, on

We
entered into a loan agreement with Laith Reynolds, our former chairman of
the
board, on November 28, 2007, for $25,000. The loan carried no

and was payable in full upon demand by Mr. Reynolds, after our receipt of
the
first US$ 3,000,000 from a private placement offering. We repaid the
loan
in
full on December 30, 2007.
We
entered into a royalty agreement with 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. Three 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 for the years ended May 31,
2008
and
2007 were $388,249 and $54,789, 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 terminated
the services agreement on August 31, 2008.
We
have a
rental and services agreement with PB Commodities, or PBC, for office space
and
the use of certain personnel in Singapore. PBC is owned
by
Concord, one of our principal stockholders. Rental and service payments made
under this agreement for the years ended May 31, 2008 and 2007 were
$137,807
and $18,036, respectively. 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 terminated the
rental and service agreement as of July 31, 2008, the end of the current
rental
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 years ended May 31, 2008 and
2007
were
$465,013 and $281,187, 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.
We
entered into an employment agreement with Andrew Caminschi, our Senior Vice
President of Business Development, effective as of June 1, 2008. Under the
terms
of the employment agreement, Mr. Caminschi is entitled to an annual base
salary
of $180,000. The employment agreement also provides for equity incentive
compensation to be awarded to Mr. Caminschi under our equity incentive plans,
as
determined from time to time by our board of directors, and entitles Mr.
Caminschi to participate in any performance-based cash compensation plans
that
may be implemented by our board of directors.

of
our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any,
as

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

the
future.
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
In

and
(ii)
the
private placement offering of our common stock to certain selling stockholders
pursuant to subscription agreements entered into on June 10, 2007, as amended
and restated on June 27, 2008
,
we
agreed to file a registration statement with the Commission
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. Other than
Martin Hurley, our former President and Chief Executive Officer and a former
member of our board of directors, 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

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The
Board
of Directors and Stockholders
Kal
Energy, Inc.
We
have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Kal Energy, Inc. as of May 31, 2008,
and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows
for the years ended May 31, 2008 and 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 audits.
We
conducted our audits 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
audits 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, 2008,
and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended May 31,
2008
and 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 $14,418,100 and net
losses of $10,647,276 for the year ended May 31, 2008. In addition, the
companies right to exploit its mining interest expires on September 14, 2008,
there is no assurance that a renewal will occur. 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.

KAL
ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(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 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 until a defined reserve 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.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. The Company had incurred cumulative losses of
$14,418,100 and net losses of $10,647,276 for the year ended May 31, 2008.
In
addition, the right to exploit its mining interest expire on September 14,
2008,
there is no assurance that a renewal is assured. These factors raise substantial
doubt about Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty or 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, 2008, 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. The management has initiated the process to renew the
license.

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, 2008. In the opinion
of
the Company’s management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring
accruals have been made to the financial statements.
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 11), 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.
In
May of
2008, FASB issued SFASB No.162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles”. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the
accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical
impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the
GAAP
hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC
approval. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its
financial statements.
In
May of
2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance
Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. The scope of the
statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance)
contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 31, 2008. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact
its financial statements.
At
May
31, 2008, the Company had $75,945 of other receivable related to the outsourcing
of exploration personnel.
As
of May
31, 2008, the Company has two note receivables of $150,000 and $175,000 from
two
unrelated parties. The note receivables are both pledged by the shares to be
purchased by the notes, with an interest rate of twelve month LIBOR plus 5%,
and
due on demand. The Company has accrued $37,656 of interest against this loan.
Subsequent to the fiscal year end, the Company has not received confirmation
from the holders of the notes. As such, the Company has commenced a change
in
the ownership of GPK and BBM in accordance with the terms of the share pledge
agreements. The Company is in the process of selling the notes to third parties.
Article 127 of Company Law requires that any change of more than 50%
shareholding requires a newspaper announcement, with closing to occur no earlier
than 30 days post-the announcement. The Company expects to complete these
transactions in the next 45 days. Up until the time the notes are transferred,
the Company is placing a reserve against the entire balance of the notes. Once
the transfer is completed and the notes are assumed by new parties, the Company
will reevaluate the value of the notes and the carrying amount of the reserve,
if any. (see note 16) As at May 31, 2008, the Company based upon its evaluation
of the notes, has provided an allowance for bad debts against the Notes
receivable amounting to $362,656.

On
September 12, 2007, the Company acquired the operations of Finchley. The
transaction was transfer from the shareholder of Finchley to the Company at
a
nominal value. Finchley had no assets and only had expenses from its
incorporation. The entity was acquired for the purpose of conducting exploration
in Mongolia. No separate pro-forma financial information is presented as the
amounts involved were immaterial.
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.

The
Company has reduced the recorded value of the intangible 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, 2008 and 2007 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 $175,000 for the shareholders of PT GPK
and $150,000 for the shareholders of PT BBM, at May 31, 2008. These advance
were
part of notes receivable (See note 4) and fully provided for as there is
uncertainty about the recoverability of these advances. The Company is
considered the primary beneficiary as it stands to absorb the majority of the
VIE’s expected losses.
As
of May
31, 2008, 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, 2008.

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, 2008, securities authorized and available for issuance
in connection with our SIP were 9,558,333. 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 2008 and 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, who 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 and a study of the logistics for processing the coal
in
site and delivering it to customers was completed. Site expenses include all
site maintenance costs as well as operating costs such as fuel and
camps.

The
Company is registered in the State of Delaware and has operations in primarily
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, 2008. Accordingly, the Company has no net deferred tax
assets.

United

As
of May
31, 2008, the Company’s subsidiary in the United States of America had
approximately $4,637,000 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, 2008 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, 2008 and

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.

The
Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in
the
normal course of business. While the outcome of these matters is currently
not
determinable, the Company does not expect the resolutions of any such matters
to
have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.
A
shareholder that purchased securities of the Company in connection with the
private placement begun in June, 2007, threatened litigation against the Company
regarding the terms of his subscription. The Company had previously accrued
the
entire subscription from the placement of $750,000 as accrued litigation until
this matter is resolved. The Company has settled this matter in June 16, 2008
and has presented the financial statements as if the litigation was settled
as
of May 31, 2008. See subsequent event description on note 16.
As
of May
31, 2008, there is no other pending litigation involving the
Company.
RIGHT
TO EXPLOIT
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 KPs, 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 KPs 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
KPs
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. There is no assurance that a KP will be renewed.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
As
previously reported, on June 10, 2007 KAL Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Prior Agreements”)
with 3 investors (the “Investors”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell
an aggregate of 937,500 shares of its common stock to the Investors at a
purchase price of $0.80 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company
of
approximately $750,000 (the “June 2007 Financing”). The Company also agreed to
issue the Investors warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of
937,500 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.428 per share.
The
closing of the June 2007 Financing occurred on June 10, 2007.
Subsequent
to the closing of the June 2007 financing, a dispute arose between the Company
and the Investors as a result of administrative non-conformance relating to
the
Prior Agreements (the “Dispute”). On June 17, 2008, the Company’s board of
directors agreed to resolve the Dispute by restructuring the terms of the June
2007 Financing and entering into an Amended and Restated Subscription Agreement
(the “Restated Agreement”) with the Investors (the “Restructuring”). The Company
entered into the Restated Agreement with the Investors on June 26, 2008.
Pursuant to the Restructuring, the Company reduced the purchase price for the
shares of common stock issued in the June 2007 financing to $0.15 per share
and
issued an aggregate of 4,062,500 additional shares of common stock to the
Investors, resulting in the sale and issuance of an aggregate total of 5,000,000
shares of common stock to the Investors. In addition, the Company and the
Investors agreed to cancel and terminate the Warrants, which were not previously
issued by the Company to the Investors. The Restructuring will not change the
gross proceeds received by the Company from the June 2007 financing, which
remain approximately $750,000.
Subsequent
to the fiscal year end, the Company has not received confirmation from the
holders of the notes. As such, the Company has commenced a change in the
ownership of GPK and BBM in accordance with the terms of the share pledge
agreements. The Company is in the process of selling the notes to third parties.
Article 127 of Company Law requires that any change of more than 50%
shareholding requires a newspaper announcement, with closing to occur no earlier
than 30 days post-the announcement. The Company expects to complete these
transactions in the next 45 days. Up until the time the notes are transferred,
the Company is placing a reserve against the entire balance of the notes. Once
the transfer is completed and the notes are assumed by new parties, the Company
will reevaluate the value of the notes and the carrying amount of the reserve,
if any. (see note 4)

financial statements
KAL
ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(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 Certificate 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.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. The Company had incurred cumulative losses of
$15,754,098. In addition, the permits allowing exploration activities on its
mining concessions in Kalimantan expired on September 14, 2008. Whilst
applications for permit extensions have been submitted, and while the original
permits continue to be valid automatically for another twelve months, there
is
no assurance that a renewal will be granted. These factors raise substantial
doubt about 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.
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.
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 August 31, 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.

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, 2008. 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 three months ended August 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of
the
results to be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2009.
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 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
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.
In
May of
2008, FASB issued SFASB No.162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles”. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the
accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical
impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the
GAAP
hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC
approval. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its
financial statements.
In
May of
2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance
Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. The scope of the
statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance)
contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 31, 2008. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact
its financial statements.
At
August
31, 2008, the Company had $75,450 of other receivable related to the outsourcing
of exploration personnel.
As
of May
31, 2008, the Company had two note receivables of $150,000 and $175,000 from
two
unrelated parties. The note receivables were both pledged by the shares to
be
purchased by the notes, with an interest rate of twelve month LIBOR plus 5%,
and
due on demand. The Company had accrued $37,656 of interest against this loan.
Subsequent to the fiscal year end, the Company did not receive confirmation
from
the holders of the notes. As such, the Company commenced a change in the
ownership of GPK and BBM in accordance with the terms of the share pledge
agreements. The Company is in the process of selling the notes to third parties.
Article 127 of Company Law requires that any change of more than 50%
shareholding requires a newspaper announcement, with closing to occur no earlier
than 30 days post-the announcement. Up until the time the notes are transferred,
the Company is placing a reserve against the entire balance of the notes. Once
the transfer is completed and the notes are assumed by new parties, the Company
will reevaluate the value of the notes and the carrying amount of the reserve,
if any. (see note 16) As at August 31, 2008, the Company based upon its
evaluation of the notes, has provided an allowance for bad debts against the
Notes receivable amounting to $369,409.

The
Company uses the services of Mining House Ltd. for IT and administrative
services. These also include expense reimbursements for travel and other
administrative expenses. One of the Company’s directors was a director of
Mining House Ltd. Additionally, our two previous chief executive officers and
Chairman, were directors in Mining House Ltd. Payments for such services

During
the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2008, the Company issued 4,666,667 shares
from funds received in May of 2008. These shares were recorded as shares to
be
issued as at May 31, 2008.
In
the
June 2007 financing, a dispute arose between the Company and the Investors
as a
result of administrative non-conformance relating to the Prior Agreements (the
“Dispute”). On June 17, 2008, the Company’s board of directors agreed to resolve
the Dispute by restructuring the terms of the June 2007 Financing and entering
into an Amended and Restated Subscription Agreement (the “Restated Agreement”)
with the Investors (the “Restructuring”). The Company entered into the Restated
Agreement with the Investors on June 26, 2008. Pursuant to the Restructuring,
the Company reduced the purchase price for the shares of common stock issued
in
the June 2007 financing to $0.15 per share and issued an aggregate of 4,062,500
additional shares of common stock to the Investors, resulting in the sale and
issuance of an aggregate total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock to the
Investors. In addition, the Company and the Investors agreed to cancel and
terminate the Warrants, which were not previously issued by the Company to
the
Investors. The Restructuring will not change the gross proceeds received by
the
Company from the June 2007 financing, which remain approximately
$750,000.

shares for total of $3,523,000. The issuance is recorded net of the expenses
and
payments of the fund raising expenses. The direct costs related to this stock
sale, including legal and professional fees, were deducted from the related

paid-in capital. In conjunction with the completion of the private placement
offering, the Company paid legal expenses of $20,000 in cash The Company also

of
the shares have been retroactively restated.
On
January 18, 2007, the board of directors approved an amendment to the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares off
common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000. On January 19, 2007, shareholders
of record holding a majority of the currently issued and outstanding common
stock approved the amendment. The amendment became effective on March 2,

employees and outside contractors (the “SIP”). The Company authorized 12,000,000
shares for use in the SIP. The Company granted as of August 31, 2008, 2,046,667
shares and 1,317,333 options had vested under the SIP. The Company has issued

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 or 100% of the 1,000 outstanding shares of PT Graha Panca
Karsa (“PT GPK”) and 1,000 or 100% of the 1,000 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 absorb the majority of the VIE’s expected
losses.
As
of
August 31, 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 August 31,
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 to provide mining services and to conduct 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 on 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 August 31, 2008, securities authorized and available for
issuance in connection with our SIP were 5,255,417. 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 were 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.

The
aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax
intrinsic value, based on the Company's closing stock price of $0.16 on August
31, 2008, which would have been received by award holders had all award holders

stock option awards exercisable on August 31, 2008 at a price lower than the
closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on that date. The Company has
not received any cash under the plan. The Company recorded a net expense of
$209,992 for the three month period ended August 31, 2008, including a one
time
credit of $343,485 for the cancellations during the quarter. The Company has
not
had issuances under the plan during the three month period ended August 31,

and as such has not recorded any expense as compensation from the
plan.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, provides that a
corporation may indemnify any person made a party to an action (other than
an
action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he
or
she was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or was serving
at the request of the corporation against expenses (including attorneys’ fees),
judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him or her in connection with such action if he or she acted in
good
faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to,
the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action
(other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), has no reasonable
cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Item
15.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
On
March
12, 2008, we entered into subscription agreements with 24 investors pursuant
to
which we agreed to sell an aggregate of 60,686,732 shares of common stock to
the
investors at a purchase price of $0.15 per share for potential gross proceeds
to
us of approximately $9,103,010. We refer to this financing as the March 2008
Financing. One of the original investors entered into a side agreement to offer
a portion of its subscription to an additional investor prior to closing,
resulting in 25 total investors for the March 2008 Financing. The closing of
the
March 2008 Financing was expected to occur on a rolling basis through June
15,
2008.
One
investor in the March 2008 Financing initially subscribed to purchase 26,666,667
shares of common stock at $0.15 per share for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $4,000,000. Such investor had previously advanced $700,000 to
us
as part of the outstanding balance for its subscribed shares. We informed such
investor that the deadline for payment of the remaining balance of $3,300,000
would be June 13, 2008. On June 13, 2008, such investor informed us that it
would be unable to tender payment of the remaining balance on that date. On
June
17, 2008, we and the investor amended such investor’s subscription agreement to
reduce the number of subscribed shares from 26,666,667 to 4,666,667 for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $700,000. We accepted such investor’s
amended subscription for the reduced number of shares and agreed to reduce
the
total size of the March 2008 Financing from 60,686,732 offered shares to
38,686,732 offered shares for total gross proceeds to us of approximately
$5,803,010. We closed the March 2008 Financing on June 17, 2008.
On
June
10, 2007, we entered into subscription agreements with 3 investors pursuant
to
which we agreed to sell an aggregate of 937,500 shares of common stock to the
investors at a purchase price of $0.80 per share, resulting in net proceeds
to
us of approximately $750,000. We refer to this financing as the June 2007
Financing. We also agreed to issue the investors warrants to purchase up to
an
aggregate of 937,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.428
per
share. The closing of the June 2007 Financing occurred on June 10,
2007.
Subsequent
to the closing of the June 2007 Financing, a dispute arose between us and the
investors as a result of administrative non-conformance relating to the
subscription agreements. On June 17, 2008, our board of directors agreed to
resolve the dispute by restructuring the terms of the June 2007 Financing and
entering into an amended and restated subscription agreement with the investors.
We entered into the amended and restated subscription agreement with the
investors on June 27, 2008. Pursuant to the restructuring, we reduced the
purchase price for the shares of common stock issued in the June 2007 Financing
to $0.15 per share and issued an aggregate of 4,062,500 additional shares of
common stock to the investors, resulting in the sale and issuance of an
aggregate total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock to the investors. In
addition, we and the investors agreed to cancel and terminate the warrants,
which were not previously issued by us to the investors. The restructuring
did
not change the gross proceeds received by us from the June 2007 Financing,
which
remain approximately $750,000.
Simultaneously
with closing the transactions contemplated by the reorganization agreement
with
Thatcher, dated as of February 9, 2007, we accepted subscriptions for a total
of
17,615,000 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $0.20 per share,
from a group of accredited investors. We received gross proceeds of $3,523,000
from the offering, and net cash proceeds of $3,455,000, after deducting a
finder’s fee of $68,000 which was payable in cash.
In
addition, we issued shares of our common stock as compensation for services
rendered in connection with such offerings, including, but not limited to,
finder’s fees.
The
shares of common stock sold in the private placement offerings were offered
and
sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Regulation S
promulgated under the Securities Act. The shares of our common stock were
offered and sold in “offshore transactions,” as defined in Regulation S, and no
“directed selling efforts,” as defined in Regulation S, were made in the United
States by us, a distributor of our shares of common stock, any of their or
our
respective affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing.
In addition, the subscription agreements for these private placement offerings
contain representations to support our reasonable belief that the investors
in
such offerings were non-“U.S. persons,” as defined by Regulation
S.
Pursuant
to the reorganization agreement with Thatcher, we issued 32,000,000 shares
of
our common stock, which we refer to as the Reorganization Shares, to the
shareholders of Thatcher in exchange for 100% of the common shares of Thatcher.
The issuance of the Reorganization Shares to the shareholders of Thatcher
pursuant to the reorganization agreement was exempt from registration under
the
Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.

Undertakings.
(a)
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
(ii)
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes
in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the
effective registration statement;
(iii)
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement.
(2)
That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3)
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(4)
That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to
any
purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a
registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration
statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in
reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the
registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.
Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement
or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser
with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify
any
statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was
part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such date of first use.
(5)
That,
for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities
Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The
undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities
of
the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless
of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if
the
securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the
purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
(i)
Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating
to
the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of
the
undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned
registrant;
(iii)
The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided
by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)
Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
registrant to the purchaser.
(b)
Insofar as indemnification by the registrant for liabilities arising under
the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
