NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of presentation


The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.  These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010 and notes thereto contained in the information as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2011. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2010 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented herein. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.


Basis of consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include those of Bakken Resources, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bakken Development Corp. and BR Metals, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Reclassification


Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.


Oil and Gas Properties


The Company owns royalty interests only and no working interests. The company capitalizes asset acquisition costs. Unproved oil and gas properties are periodically assessed to determine whether they have been impaired, and any impairment in value is charged to expense. The costs of unproved properties, which are determined to be productive, are transferred to proved oil and gas properties and amortized on an equivalent unit-of-production basis.

7




During the period ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized no impairment of its oil and gas properties.


Revenue recognition


The Company follows the guidance of paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.


Under the royalty and lease agreements obtained as part of the exercised Option to Purchase Asset Agreement the Company will recognize revenue when received pursuant to 14 separate mineral leases granted or amended between September 9, 2009 and December 10, 2009, whereby: 1) Oasis Petroleum, Inc., 2) Brigham Resources, and 3) Texon L.P. purchased the rights to explore, drill and develop oil and gas on the Holms Property acquired pursuant to the Agreement. Oasis Petroleum, Inc., pursuant to the terms and conditions of the leases, is required to drill nine wells in the acquired Holms Property, Bakken Formation, before December 31, 2011 in order to retain the leases and keep them in good standing. The royalty income is calculated monthly and the Company recognizes royalty income upon receipt of the royalty report. At June 30, 2011 there was one working well pursuant to the agreement.


NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF MINERAL RIGHTS


On June 11, 2010, and the Company entered into an Option to Purchase Assets Agreement with Holms Energy, LLC, pursuant to which Holms Energy agreed to grant Multisys Acquisition an option to exercise an Asset Purchase Agreement to assign all right, title, and interest of specific Holms Energy owned assets to Multisys Acquisition, with Holms Energy members holding a controlling interest in Multisys as a result of the exercise of the option. The option was exercised on November 26, 2010 and the Asset Purchase Agreement was entered into on November 26, 2010 by paying the consideration to Holms Energy detailed in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, Multisys Acquisition paid Holms Energy $100,000, issued Holms Energy 40,000,000 shares of restricted common stock, and granted to Holms Energy a 5% overriding royalty on all revenue generated from the Holms Property for ten years from the date of the acquisition closing. The issuance of the 40,000,000 shares to the Holms Energy members resulted in a Change in Control as the Holms Energy members obtained a controlling interest in Multisys. With the Holms Energy members obtaining a controlling interest in the Company, the mineral rights acquired from Holms were recorded at Holms Energy’s cost basis of zero. The $100,000 cash paid to Holms was recorded as a stockholder distribution.


The Asset Purchase Agreement related to the acquisition of: 1) certain Holms energy mineral rights in oil and gas rights on approximately 6,000 gross acres and 1,600 net mineral acres of land located in McKenzie County, 8 miles southeast of Williston, North Dakota; 2) potential production royalty income from wells to be drilled on the property whose mineral rights are owned by Holms Energy; and 3) the transfer of all right, title and interest to an Option to Purchase the Greenfield mineral rights entered into between Holms Energy and Rocky and Evenette Greenfield dated June 18, 2010 related to purchasing additional mineral rights and production royalty income on the Holms Property for $1,649,000.


The Greenfield Option was subsequently exercised by Holms Energy on November 12, 2010, and those Greenfield mineral rights were acquired by Multisys Acquisition through the Asset Purchase Agreement with Holms Energy. Holms Energy exercised the Greenfield option and executed the Asset Purchase Agreement on the Greenfield mineral rights on November 12, 2010 using $385,000 of a $485,000 one month non-interest bearing loan from Multisys to complete the initial payment of $400,000, of which $15,000 was already paid by Holms Energy. The collateral for the loan was the Greenfield mineral rights.


Under the terms of the loan from Multisys to Holms Energy, Holms Energy, in conjunction with the entry into the Asset Purchase Agreement on November 26, 2010, assigned the Greenfield mineral rights to Multisys Acquisition in exchange for forgiveness of $385,000 of the loan. The other $100,000 of the loan was to be applied to the Asset Purchase Agreement between Multisys and Holms Energy, and on November 26, 2010, that $100,000 was applied to the Asset Purchase Agreement and the loan was forgiven. After exercise of the option and executing the asset purchase agreement with Holms Energy, Multisys Acquisition purchased the gas and oil production royalty rights of Rocky and Evenette Greenfield for an aggregate of $1,249,000 plus interest as follows:  installment payments in the amount of $120,000 per year, or $30,000 per quarter plus interest at 5% per annum for 8 years and a balloon payment in the amount of $289,000. As of June 30, 2011, the unpaid balance of this installment note totaled $1,189,000.


Depletion expense recorded on the mineral rights for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1,308.


8





NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


Related party payable  receivable


The Company shares office space and other expenses with Holms Energy Development Corporation (HEDC). HEDC is controlled by Val Holms, CEO of Bakken Resources, Inc. The Company has paid various expenses incurred on behalf of HEDC and recorded a corresponding receivable from HEDC. At June 30, 2011, the receivable owed by HEDC totaled $53,747 and is reflected as accounts receivable from related party.


Related party payable – officer


On November 26, 2010, the Company exercised the Option to Purchase Assets Agreement with Holms Energy, which is owned by an officer of the Company. As part of the transaction, $7,500 was unpaid at December 31, 2010. It was subsequently paid in full on January 31, 2011.


NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE


During May and June 2011, the Company borrowed $300,000 from investors. The notes are unsecured, bear interest at 6% per annum and mature on December 31, 2011. Each of the notes will automatically convert into the next equity financing with gross proceeds of at least $2,000,000 at the lower of a 25% discount to the equity sales price or $0.50 per share. The notes also require the Company to grant the investors common stock warrants equal to 20% of the value of the principal of the notes. The warrants will have an exercise price equal to the per share exercise price of warrants issued in connection with the Company’s next qualified equity financing. As of June 30, 2011, the unpaid principal balance on these notes was $300,000.


In connection with these notes, the Company paid cash commissions of $30,000. The commissions were recorded as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the life of the notes using the effective interest rate method. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, amortization of $3,092 was recorded.


NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY


Common Stock and Common Stock Warrants


During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,490,000 common stock units at $0.50 per unit to private investors. Each unit consists of two shares of common stock plus one common stock purchase warrant that are exercisable at $0.50 per share for a term of three years from the date of issuance, callable at $0.01 per share at any time after one year from the date of sale, if the underlying shares are registered and the common stock trades for 20 consecutive trading days at an average closing sales price of $0.75 or more, for a total of 2,980,000 common shares and 1,490,000 warrants sold, total cash of $667,000 was received net of offering costs of $68,000. As of June 30, 2011, none of these warrants have been exercised.


During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company issued 300,000 common shares for the exercise of warrants for total cash proceeds of $10,000.


During the six months ended June 30, 2011, 250,000 previously issued common shares were returned to the Company and cancelled.


During June 2011, the Company entered into a consulting agreement and granted the consultant 100,000 units which vest over six months. Each unit consists of two shares of common stock plus one common stock purchase warrant that are exercisable at $0.50 per share for a term of three years from the date of issuance, callable at $0.01 per share at any time after one year from the date of sale, if the underlying shares are registered and the common stock trades for 20 consecutive trading days at an average closing sales price of $0.75 or more. The fair value of the grant was determined to be $50,000 and it is being recognized over the service period of six months. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, accrued stock-based compensation of $7,923 was recorded. The remaining $42,077 will be recognized over the remaining service period.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) and the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Annual Report”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to those identified in the 2010 Annual Report in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”


Overview


The Company’s current and proposed operations consist of holding certain mineral rights which presently entitle the company to limited royalty rights with respect to any gross revenue generated by lessees of our certain mineral rights underlying approximately 6,000 acres located approximately 8 miles southeast of Williston, North Dakota. The Company has limited legal rights to influence the drilling and other operational activities conducted by these lessees of our mineral rights. In the event the current operators on our properties fail to meet their drilling commitment, the Company generally has the following options: 1) it can agree to grant an extension; 2) it can renegotiate the terms of the existing leases; 3) it can legally terminate the leases and seek another lessee for the mineral rights. We will focus on evolving into a growth-orientated independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, exploitation, and development of oil and natural gas properties; initially focusing activities mainly in the Williston Basin, a large sedimentary basin in eastern Montana, Western North and South Dakota, and Southern Saskatchewan known for its rich deposits of petroleum and potash.


10




In summary, the Company owns an 8.5% average landowner royalty interest in approximately 6,000 gross acres and 3,000 net mineral rights in North Dakota. The landowner royalty interest is the revenue royalty paid by the contracted oil drilling company (Oasis Petroleum for example) on whatever oil and gas revenue they generate from the particular lease. For example, if Oasis Petroleum generates $100,000 in oil and gas revenue from acreage wholly subject to the Company’s landowner royalty of 8.5%, the Company would receive in royalty payments of $8,500 (Note that if the Company’s underlying land interest was less than 100%, the amount of the royalties would be proportionally reduced.). No revenue has yet been generated to date from these oil and gas rights and, to our knowledge, only one well has been drilled, fraced and completed. The Company did report on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC that one well where the Company has a royalty interest is currently producing oil.


In January 2011, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of BR Metals Corporation (“BRM”), a Nevada corporation. The Company intends to periodically evaluate the merits of engaging in the business of identifying, screening, evaluation, and acquiring metallic, non-metallic and precious metals properties in the Western United States.


In May and June 2011 the Company closed on an aggregate of $300,000 (the “Funds”) in convertible notes pursuant to a series of Convertible Bridge Loan Agreements (collectively, the “Loan Agreements”) with certain investors whereby the Company agreed to sell 6% Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) and Warrants (the “Warrants”). The Notes bear an annual interest rate of 6% and will be converted into shares of common stock of the Company upon the closing of any equity financing round for an amount of not less than $2,000,000 on or prior to December 31, 2011 (the “Closing Date”). Conversion, if it occurs, shall be at a 25% discount to the price per share of the Qualified Financing Round. In the event the Qualified Financing Round does not take place on or prior to the Closing Date, the Notes shall become due, plus interest accrued to date. The Warrants expire five years from the date of issuance and the number of shares of common stock of the Company exercisable shall be calculated at the time of closing of the Qualified Financing Round and shall be equal to 20% of the value of the Note divided by the exercise price determined at the Closing Date. The Company intends to use the Funds for working capital purposes and for further financing and business development activities.


Results of Operations


Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010


Revenue. We accrued revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 of $28,039, compared to revenue of $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and we accrued revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of $31,039, compared to revenue of $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The revenue amounts for the periods ended June 30, 2011 are based on our estimates of oil production from our currently producing well and are based on a conservative estimate of currently available public information. We have not received any royalty checks to date and no notice has been provided to us by Continental Resources, the well operator, as to when we will expect royalty checks. Typically, royalty checks from oil well operators can be delivered anytime between 60 to 180 days the month following initial production. Following oil well production, the oil well operator will usually seek a division order title opinion from any attorney which would describe the ownership of the production. Following issuance of this opinion, the oil well operator will generally issue division orders which would set forth payments to the royalty holders. North Dakota law requires payment of 18% annual interest if royalty payments are not made within 150 days after oil produced by the well is marketed. For additional information regarding the rights of royalty holders, see the “Royalty Owner Information Center” link found on the website for the North Dakota Petroleum Council, www.ndoil.org.


On July 20, 2011 and July 22, 2011 we received division orders from Continental Resources and Oasis Petroleum with respect to two of our currently producing wells. The orders reflect royalty interests of 0.01376144% and 0.01117505%, respectively.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $172,785 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to $16,388 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $156,397. Operating expenses were $383,390 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to $19,187 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $364,203. The increase in 2011 is principally attributable to costs and expenses for the salaries of our two officers and outside consultants and other related costs relating to the new business plan of the Company as an independent energy company.


Our material financial obligations include our salaries paid to our two current employees, fees paid to outside consultants, public company reporting expenses, transfer agent fees, bank fees, and other recurring fees.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


The Company has historically met our capital requirements through the issuance of stock and by borrowings. From November 2010 through June 2011, the Company raised approximately $2.35 million (net of offering costs of approximately $0.2 million) in equity financing and an additional $300,000 as a result of its sale of convertible notes. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had cash of $1,514,563. Our recent rate of use of cash in our operations over the last three months has been approximately $45,000 per month and consists mainly of salaries, office rent, travel and professional fees. Given our recent rate of use of cash in our operations, we believe we have sufficient capital to carry on operations for the next year. Our long term capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including the reporting company costs, public relations fees, and operating expenses, among others.


In the future, we anticipate we will be able to provide the necessary liquidity we need by the revenues generated from the royalties received through sales of our oil reserves in our existing properties. No assurances, however, can be given that such royalties will be received and as of June 30, 2011, no royalty revenues have been received. If the Company does not generate sufficient revenues it will continue to finance operations through equity and/or debt financings.


We will continue to evaluate additional properties containing mineral rights which we may seek to acquire. With respect to transactions involving the acquisition of additional mineral rights or other business collaboration transactions, we may seek to issue shares of our common stock or other equity to finance part or all such acquisitions or transactions. To the extent that such acquisitions or transactions require cash payments, such payments will likely have a material impact on our liquidity and we may need to raise additional funds in order to complete such acquisitions or transactions.


Until we can generate significant revenues from operations, we expect to continue to fund operations with proceeds of offerings of our equity and debt securities. However, we may not be successful in obtaining cash from new or existing agreements or licenses, or in receiving royalty payments under our existing leases. In addition, we cannot be sure that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to us or to our stockholders. Having insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of our business development activities. Failure to obtain adequate financing also may adversely affect our ability to operate as a going concern. If we raise additional funds from the issuance of equity securities, substantial dilution to our existing stockholders would likely result. If we raise additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict our ability to operate our business.


Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Judgments


Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets


12




and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We continually evaluate our estimates and judgments, the most critical of which are those related to revenue recognition, the timing of the royalty revenues, and income taxes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known.


Besides the estimates identified above that are considered critical, we make many other accounting estimates in preparing our financial statements and related disclosures. All estimates, whether or not deemed critical, affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are also based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known, even for estimates and judgments that are not deemed critical.


For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.


Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial and accounting officer), and with the participation of all members of management, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were designed and operating effectively as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have hired a Chief Financial Officer and have developed policies relating to our internal controls and procedures to help address any material weaknesses.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected.


CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING


As of the end of the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our company’s internal control over financial reporting.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF

PROCEEDS

In May and June 2011 the Company closed on an aggregate of $300,000 (the “Funds”) in convertible notes pursuant to a series of Convertible Bridge Loan Agreements (collectively, the “Loan Agreements”) with certain investors whereby the Company agreed to sell 6% Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) and Warrants (the “Warrants”). The Notes bear an annual interest rate of 6% and will be converted into shares of common stock of the Company upon the closing of any equity financing round for an amount of not less than $2,000,000 on or prior to December 31, 2011 (the “Closing Date”). Conversion, if it occurs, shall be at a 25% discount to the price per share of the Qualified Financing Round. In the event the Qualified Financing Round does not take place on or prior to the Closing Date, the Notes shall become due, plus interest accrued to date. The Warrants expire five years from the date of issuance and the number of shares of common stock of the Company exercisable shall be calculated at the time of closing of the Qualified Financing Round and shall be equal to 20% of the value of the Note divided by the exercise price determined at the Closing Date. The Company intends to use the Funds for working capital purposes and for further financing and business development activities.
