Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements from the year ended February 29, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the 10-K report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three months ended May 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2021.

Basis of Consolidation

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Colony Energy, LLC, (“Colony”) Black Dragon Energy, LLC, (“Black Dragon”) Rolling Rock Resources, LLC (“Rolling Rock”) and City of Gold, LLC (“City of Gold”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

Basic earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average of all potentially dilutive shares of the common stock that were outstanding during the years presented. There were 2,000,000 (February 29, 2020 - 2,000,000) potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The treasury stock method is used in calculating diluted EPS for potentially dilutive stock options and share purchase warrants, which assumes that any proceeds received from the exercise of in-the-money stock options and share purchase warrants, would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. The most significant estimates with regard to these financial statements relate to carrying values of oil and gas properties, rights to acquisition, the assumptions used to record asset retirement obligations, the assumptions used to determine the fair value of derivative financial assets and liabilities, and valuation of share-based payments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
