Restatement of previously issued consolidated financial statements
|
The Company has restated certain amounts reported as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2013. The restatement reflects adjustments of depletion expense and accumulated depletion based on the changes in reserve estimates for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2013, which were included in the Company’s Annul Report on Form 10K.
The adjustments are noncash adjustments and have no impact on the Company’s cash flows. On May 6, 2014, the Company completed its assessment of the impact of the adjustments to the depletion expense and accumulated depletion for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2013 and believes the effects of the restatements are as summarized in the following tables:
Prior to June 2014, the Company received communication from the majority participant of its lending group that the financial covenant failures at December 31, 2013 were going to be waived by its lending group. However, in June 2014, the Company was advised that certain non-majority participants in the Company's note payable did not waive their right to call the Company's note payable due to the financial covenant failures as of December 31, 2013. Accordingly, the note payable balance has been reclassified as a current liability as of December 31, 2013. The reclassification is a non-cash adjustment and will have no impact on the Company’s cash flows. On June 9, 2014 the Company completed its assessment of the impact of the reclassification of the current maturities of long-term debt as of December 31, 2013 and believes the effects of the restatement are as summarized in the following tables:

Organization and nature of operations
|
Prior to May 9, 2013, Claimsnet.com, Inc.’s (“Claimsnet”) business plan was to develop an electronic commerce company engaged in healthcare transaction processing for the medical and dental industries by means of the internet. On May 9, 2013, Claimsnet acquired a majority interest in TransCoastal Corporation (“TransCoastal”), a Texas corporation through an Acquisition Agreement. Claimsnet issued a total of 3,721,036 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, with an additional 194,920 Series F Preferred Stock to be issued, in consideration for the common stock of TransCoastal. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock issued has the attribute of having the voting right equal to 1,170.076 shares of common stock thereby giving the selling TransCoastal stockholders control of the corporation with the ability to vote 99.2% of all the votes eligible to vote for any matter brought before our equity holders.
Claimsnet acquired TransCoastal under the an acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”), dated March 18, 2013, as amended by the Amended Acquisition Agreement, dated April 24, 2013, through the issuance of shares of our convertible Series F preferred stock. This resulted in the owners of TransCoastal (the “accounting acquirer”) having actual or effective operating control of Claimsnet after the transaction, with the shareholders of Claimsnet (the “legal acquirer”) continuing only as passive investors. TransCoastal is an oil and gas exploration and production company focused primarily in the development of oil and gas reserves in Texas and the Southwest region of the United States. Effective on the date of acquisition, TransCoastal became a Delaware Corporation. TransCoastal, and its wholly owned subsidiary, CoreTerra Operating, LLC (“CTO”), are referred to as the “Company”.
Pursuant to the Amended Acquisition Agreement, on June 27, 2013, the Company placed, at the time of closing of the acquisition, all of the assets and liabilities constituting the current non-oil and gas assets of our business operations into a separate wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, ANC Holdings, Inc. (“ANC Holdings”), and sold that subsidiary to certain debt holders of the Company, who were affiliates of Claimsnet, in consideration for cancellation by such debt holders of the Company indebtedness owed to them.
Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2013, TransCoastal Partners LLC, an entity under common control of the Company, contributed all of its net assets and liabilities, which approximated $700 at the date of contribution, to the Company. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are presented in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805,
Business Combinations
, which requires that entities under common control be reflected at their historical cost. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the historical combined results of the common controlled entity prior to the reverse recapitalization date.
Claimsnet formally changed its name to TransCoastal Corporation and declared a reverse 200 to 1 stock split effective July 1, 2013.

Going concern consideration
|
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $18,476, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $42,572. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company had a net loss of approximately $4,053 and used cash in operations of approximately $1,654. The working capital deficit at December 31, 2013 is primarily the result of increased aged accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to a reduction in available cash to pay third party vendors, the Company's long term debt being current, and the liability related to the arbitration settlement discussed in Note 13. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with a third party which allows the Company to put common shares to the third party for an aggregate purchase price up to $5,000.

Going concern consideration (continued)
|
If the Company wishes to act upon this agreement the Company will need to register the necessary shares specified in the agreement within a registration statement
with the SEC. As of March 31, 2014, and through the date of this report, the Company has not decided to act upon this agreement,
if the company chose to act upon the agreement it would require an S-1 Registration Statement to be filed and deemed effective by the SEC.
If the Company is unable to obtain this additional equity financing, it may require the Company to liquidate a portion of its oil and natural gas properties to meet its liquidity needs, which could affect the Company’s long-term strategic plan and require the Company to liquidate certain oil and natural gas properties at an amount less than would normally be achieved if sold in the ordinary course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These consolidated financial statements were approved by management and available for issuance on March 31, 2014. Subsequent events have been evaluated through this date.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TransCoastal and its wholly owned subsidiary, CTO. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company has adopted and follows ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, for measurement and disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:
Level 1
— Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2
— Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level 3
— Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Valuation of instruments includes unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements (continued)
As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, oil and natural gas sales receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly-liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company held approximately $63 and $16, respectively, in cash equivalents.
The Company maintains its cash balances in financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The interest bearing cash accounts maintain FDIC coverage of up to $250 per institution. At December 31, 2012, non-interest bearing accounts are fully covered subject to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”). This provision of the Act is scheduled to expire after December 31, 2012 at which point in time the FDIC coverage for all accounts returns to $250 per institution. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $44 and $0, respectively, in excess of its FDIC coverage.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable is comprised of billings for services as the operator on certain wells, that TransCoastal has no working interest in, and accrued natural gas and crude oil sales. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ and extends credit to virtually all of its customers. Credit losses to date have not been significant and have been within management’s expectations. In the event of complete non-performance by the Company’s customers, the maximum exposure to the Company is the outstanding accounts receivable, net balance at the date of non-performance. The amounts billed to third parties for services as the operator have rights of offset against revenues generated from the sale of oil and gas commodities. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no bad debt expense.
Derivative Activities
The Company utilized oil and natural gas derivative contracts to mitigate it’s exposure to commodity price risk associated with its future oil and natural gas production. These derivative contracts have historically consisted of options, in the form of price floors or collars. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to its oil and natural gas derivative contracts and accordingly the changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period of change.
The Company’s derivative instruments are issued to manage the price risk attributable to our expected natural gas and oil production. While there is risk that the financial benefit of rising natural gas and oil prices may not be captured, Company management believes the benefits of stable and predictable cash flow are more important. Every unsettled derivative instrument is recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair value.

Derivative Activities (continued)
Changes in a derivative’s fair value are recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Cash flows from natural gas and oil derivative contract settlements are reflected in operating activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives are accounted for using the mark-to-market accounting method. We recognize all unrealized and realized gains and losses related to these contracts in each period in derivative gains or (losses) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Oil and Gas Natural Gas Properties
The Company uses the full-cost method of accounting for its oil and natural gas producing activities as further defined under ASC 932,
Extractive Activities - Oil and natural gas
. Under these provisions, all costs incurred for both successful and unsuccessful exploration and development activities, including salaries, benefits and other internal costs directly identified with these activities, and oil and natural gas property acquisitions are capitalized. All costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities are expensed as incurred.
Proved properties are amortized using the units of production method (“UOP”). The UOP calculation, in its simplest terms, multiplies the percentage of estimated proved reserves produced at year end by the cost of those reserves.
The amortization base in the UOP calculation includes the sum of proved property, net of accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”), estimated future development costs (future costs to access and develop reserves) and asset retirement costs that are not already included in oil and natural gas property, less related salvage value.
The cost of unproved properties and properties under development are excluded from the amortization calculation until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties or until development projects are placed in service. Geological and geophysical costs not associated with specific properties are recorded to proved properties. Unproved properties and properties under development are reviewed for impairment at least quarterly. In countries where proved reserves exist, exploratory drilling costs associated with dry holes are transferred to proved properties immediately upon determination that a well is dry and amortized accordingly. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no unproved properties or properties under development were included in the oil and natural gas properties of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Proceeds from the sale or disposition of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as a reduction to capitalized costs unless a significant portion (greater than 25 percent) of the Company’s reserve quantities in a particular country are sold, in which case a gain or loss is recognized in income. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no gain or loss from the sale or disposition of oil and natural gas properties occurred.
Under the full-cost method of accounting, the net book value of oil and natural gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated “ceiling.” The ceiling limitation is the estimated after-tax future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves, discounted at 10 percent per annum based on industry standards and adjusted for cash flow hedges. Estimated future net cash flows exclude future cash outflows associated with settling accrued asset retirement obligations. Any excess of the net book value of proved oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, over the ceiling is charged to expense and reflected as additional DD&A in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no impairment charge occurred.

Oil and Gas Natural Gas Properties (continued)
During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company determined $31 and $111, respectively, of interest costs were incurred during the development period of our wells, which is reflected as an increase to the Company’s full-cost pool in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Other Property and Equipment
Other property and equipment, which includes buildings, field equipment, vehicles, and office equipment, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Vehicles and office equipment are generally depreciated over a useful life of five or six years, field equipment is generally depreciated over a useful life of ten years and buildings are generally depreciated over a useful life of twenty years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company determines if impairment has occurred through adverse changes. When it is determined that the estimated future net cash flows of an asset will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an impairment loss must be recorded to reduce the carrying amount to its estimated fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no circumstances indicated an unrecoverable carrying value of the long-lived assets.
Goodwill
Goodwill was generated as part of the CTO acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2011 and represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in the acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is tested for impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill has been reduced below carrying value. The impairment test requires allocating goodwill and other assets and liabilities to reporting units. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had only one reporting unit. To assess impairment, the Company has the option to qualitatively assess if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the book value. Absent a qualitative assessment, or, through the qualitative assessment, if the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the book value, a quantitative assessment is prepared to calculate the fair market value of the reporting unit. If it is determined that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the book value, the recorded goodwill is impaired to its implied fair value with a charge to operating expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no impairment charge occurred.
Deferred Equity Issuance Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5A ““Expenses of Offering’’. Deferred equity issuance costs consist principally of fees incurred through the consolidated balance sheet dates that are related to an equity issuance and that will be charged to stockholders’ equity upon the receipt of the equity proceeds or charged to expense if the equity offering is not completed. During the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred deferred equity issuance costs of approximately $265 and $0, respectively. The deferred equity issuance costs are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, these costs are reviewed periodically by management for indications of impairment. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company did not have an impairment charge.

Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 410-20,
Asset Retirement Obligations
. ASC 410-20 requires entities to record the fair value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity capitalizes a cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depleted as part of the oil and natural gas property. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon settlement. The Company’s asset retirement obligations relate to the plugging, dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities of its oil and natural gas properties.
Asset retirement obligations are estimated at the present value of expected future net cash flows and are discounted using the Company’s credit adjusted risk free rate. The Company uses unobservable inputs in the estimation of asset retirement obligations that include, but are not limited to, costs of labor, costs of materials, profits on costs of labor and materials, the effect of inflation on estimated costs, and the discount rate. Accordingly, asset retirement obligations are considered a Level 3 measurement under ASC 820. Additionally, because of the subjectivity of assumptions and the relatively long lives of the Company’s wells, the costs to ultimately retire the Company’s wells may vary significantly from prior estimates.
Revenue Recognition and Natural Gas Imbalances
The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting for natural gas and crude oil revenues, whereby revenues are recognized based on the Company’s net revenue interest in the wells. The Company will also enter into physical contract sale agreements through its normal operations. These contracts are not considered derivative contracts by the Company in accordance with the normal purchases and normal sales provision of ASC 815-10-15.
Gas imbalances are accounted for using the sales method. Under this method, revenues are recognized based on actual volumes of oil and gas sold to purchasers. However, the Company has no history of significant gas imbalances.
Drilling Revenue
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 605-45,
Revenue Recognition – Principal Agent Considerations
, which requires the Company to record drilling revenues at net given such services are on behalf of third party oil and natural gas property operators. The Company does not own a participating interest in the wells for which drilling revenues, net are recorded.
During the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized net drilling revenues of approximately $0 and $2,746, respectively, which are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The following table presents the gross drilling revenues and drilling expenses of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2012:

Loss on turn-key contracts
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company was involved in an arbitration case regarding the drilling, completion and operation of wells on behalf of third party oil and natural gas property operators. In March of 2014, the arbitrator for this case awarded a final award amount of approximately $580 to the third party oil and natural gas operator due from the Company, which is included in the accounts payable and accrued liabilities of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred drilling, completion and operating costs under these turn-key contracts, which reimbursement was deemed to be uncollectible due to the outcome of the arbitration. These uncollectable turn-key contract expenses approximated $888 during the year ended December 31, 2013, and are reflected in the loss on turn-key contracts in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Lease Operating Expenses
Lease operating expenses represents severance and production taxes, field personnel salaries, saltwater disposal, ad valorem taxes, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses. Lease operating expenses are expensed as incurred.
Sales-Based Taxes
The Company incurs severance tax on the sale of its production which is generated in Texas. These taxes are reported on a gross basis and are included in lease operating expenses within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Sales-based taxes for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $199 and $177, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company complies with GAAP which requires an asset and liability approach to financial reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company is required to determine whether its tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognized results in the Company recording a tax liability that reduces ending retained earnings. Based on its analysis, the Company has determined that it has not incurred any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The Company’s conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and other expenses, respectively. No interest expense or penalties have been recognized as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the years then ended.

Income Taxes (continued)
The Company files an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and may file income tax returns in various U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions. Generally, the Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since 2010.
The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, U.S. states or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated in the same manner, but also considers the impact to net income (loss) and common shares for the potential dilution from convertible preferred stock and warrants. For the year ended December 31, 2013, there were 1,374,500 potentially dilutive shares considered in the diluted weighted average common shares. For the year ended December 31, 2012, there were 75,000 potentially dilutive shares.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718,
Compensation – Stock Compensation
. The standard requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for all share-based payment awards made to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants including employee stock options, non-vested equity stock and equity stock units, and employee stock purchase grants. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, reduced by an estimate of the annualized rate of expected forfeitures, and is recognized as an expense over the employees’ expected requisite service period, generally using the straight-line method. In addition, ASC 718 requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as prescribed under previous accounting rules.
The Company’s forfeiture rate represents the historical rate at which the Company’s stock-based awards were surrendered prior to vesting. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised on a cumulative basis, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
During the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred a stock based compensation expense of approximately $270 and $213, respectively, related to stock grant issuances and is included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations in general and administrative expenses.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Additionally, the Company’s estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are, by necessity, projections based on geologic and engineering data, and there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well as the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of natural gas and oil that are difficult to measure. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable natural gas and oil reserves and future net cash flows necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the area compared with production from other producing areas, the assumed effect of regulations by governmental agencies, and assumptions governing future natural gas and oil prices, future operating costs, severance taxes, development costs and workover costs, all of which may in fact vary considerably from actual results. The future drilling costs associated with reserves assigned to proved undeveloped locations may ultimately increase to the extent that these reserves are later determined to be uneconomic. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of expected natural gas and oil attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows may vary substantially. Any significant variance in the assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity of the reserves, which could affect the carrying value of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties and/or the rate of depletion related to the oil and natural gas properties.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC Update No. 2013-01 (“ASC No. 2013-01”). The objective of ASC No. 2013-01 is to clarify that the scope of Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASC No. 2011-11”), would apply to derivatives including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or are subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASC No. 2011-11, issued in December 2011, requires that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or
similar arrangements. The Company adopted ASC No. 2013-01 effective January 1, 2013, and it did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Asset retirement obligations
|
The Company has recognized the fair value of its asset retirement obligations related to the future costs of plugging, abandonment, and remediation of oil and natural gas producing properties. The present value of the estimated asset retirement obligations has been capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related oil and natural gas properties. The liability has been accreted to its present value as of the end of each period. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company evaluated 218 and 213 wells, and has determined a range of abandonment dates between December 2012 and December 2051. The following table represents a reconciliation of the asset retirement obligations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

On May 19, 2011, as amended from time to time through February 12, 2014, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Agreement”) with Green Bank with an initial borrowing base of $15,000,000 and amended to $16,950,000 on February 12, 2014. The Agreement bears interest at the prime rate minus 0.5%, but not less than 4.5%. Interest payments are due monthly with all principal and any unpaid interest being due on June 1, 2015. The interest rate was 4.5% at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Additionally, in accordance with the Agreement, for the period from March 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012, monthly borrowing base reductions of $125 occurred automatically on the first day of each month. Effective October 1, 2012, the monthly borrowing base reduction increased to $150 through January 15, 2013. The monthly borrowing base reductions were amended to $0 on February 11, 2013. On February 12, 2014, the monthly borrowing base reductions were amended to $125 payable on the first of each month for the period of March 1, 2014 through May 1, 2014.

The Agreement is collateralized by essentially all of the oil and natural gas related assets of the Company, contains personal guarantees from the principal officers, and requires compliance with certain financials covenants including, among others: (1) a requirement to maintain a current ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; (2) a maximum permitted ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not more than 2.0 to 1.0; and (3) a requirement to maintain a ratio of EBITDAX, as defined by the Agreement, to interest expense of not less than (a) 3.00 to 1.00 for all fiscal quarters prior to December 31, 2011, (b) 3.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2012, and (c) 3.50 to 1.00 for all fiscal quarters ending on or after June 30, 2012.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company was not in compliance with its current ratio. Accordingly, the balance as of December 31, 2013 is classified as current. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of December 31, 2012.
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had an outstanding principal balance due to Green Bank of approximately $17,500 and $15,400, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the current maturities of the outstanding principal balance were approximately $375 and $150, respectively.
Additionally, on October 21, 2013, the Company entered into a vehicle loan agreement (“Car Note”) with Western Equipment Finance, Inc. for a total borrowing base of $74. The Car Note bears interest at an approximate rate of 9%. Interest and principal payments are due monthly with any unpaid principal and interest due on August 18, 2018. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had an outstanding principal balanced due to Western Equipment Finance, Inc. of approximately $68. As of December 31, 2013, the current maturities of the outstanding principal balance were approximately $12.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $8,686 and $4,820, respectively, which can be utilized in future years. These NOLs, if not used, will expire between 2025 and 2033. A valuation allowance has been established for the full amount of the tax asset since it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Reverse Recapitalization
Claimsnet acquired TransCoastal under the Acquisition Agreement, dated March 18, 2013, (as amended by the Amended Acquisition Agreement, dated April 24, 2013), through the issuance of shares of Claimsnet’s convertible preferred stock. Pursuant to the Amended Acquisition Agreement, on June 27, 2013 the Company placed all of the assets and liabilities constituting the current non-oil and gas assets of the Company into a separate wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, ANC Holdings. ANC Holdings was then sold to certain affiliated debt holders of the Company, in consideration for cancelling the indebtedness owed. Additionally, on July 30, 2013 the Board of Directors, after receiving approval of the corporate action by FINRA, authorized the completion of the two hundred to one (200 to 1) reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, as may be adjusted (the “ Reverse Stock Split”), that reduced the outstanding shares of Common Stock from 35,644,696 to approximately 178,224 shares (recognizing that any resulting fractional shares will be rounded up to result in a maximum aggregate 178,250 post-split shares) and changed the name of the Company to TransCoastal Corporation. On July 30, 2013 the Board of Directors of the Company also authorized the issuance of Common Stock share certificates of the Company to all the Series F Preferred Stockholders converting the Company's Series F preferred shares into Common Stock of the Company.

Derivative contracts, at fair value
|
In the normal course of business, the Company utilizes derivative contracts in connection with its oil and natural gas operations. Derivative contracts are subject to additional risks that can result in additional losses. The Company’s derivative activities and exposure to derivative contracts are classified by the following primary underlying risk: commodity price. In addition to its primary underlying risk, the Company is also subject to additional counterparty risk due to inability of its counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Options
The Company is subject to commodity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Company may enter into options to speculate on the price movements of the commodity underlying the option or for use as an economic hedge against oil and natural gas production.
Option contracts purchased give the Company the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell within a limited time, a commodity at a contracted price that may also be settled in cash, based on differentials between specified indices or prices. For some OTC options, the Company may be exposed to counterparty risk from the potential that a seller of an option contract does not sell or purchase the underlying asset as agreed under the terms of the option contract. The maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk to the Company is the fair value of the contracts and the premiums paid to purchase its open option contracts. In these instances, the Company considers the credit risk of the intermediary counterparty to its option transactions in evaluating potential credit risk.
Swap Contracts
Generally, a swap contract is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified notional amount of the underlying assets. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. During the term of the swap contracts, changes in value are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by marking the contracts at fair value. Additionally, the Company records a realized gain (loss) when a swap contract is terminated and when periodic payments are received or made at the end of each measurement period. The fair value of open swaps reported in the balance sheet may differ from that which would be realized in the event the Company terminated its position in the contracts. Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the swap contract.

|
Derivative contracts, at fair value (continued)
|
The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the aggregate fair value of swap contracts in an unrealized gain position as well as any collateral posted with the counterparty. The risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Company and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Company to cover the Company’s exposure to the counterparty. Therefore, the Company considers the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a swap contract in evaluating potential credit risk.

Proved Reserves Methodology
The Company’s estimated proved reserves, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, are made in accordance with the SEC’s final rule,
Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting,
which amended Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X (the “Final Rule”). As defined by the Final Rule, proved reserves are those quantities of oil and natural gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations. Projects to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or an operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the projects within a reasonable time. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and gas or related substances to market, and all permits and financing required to implement the projects. Further requirements for assignment of estimated proved reserves include the following:
The area of a reservoir considered proved includes (A) that portion delineated by drilling and defined by natural gas, oil, and/or water contacts, if any; and (B) adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data. In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons and highest known oil seen in well penetrations unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower or higher contact with reasonable certainty. Reliable technologies are any grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that have been field-tested and have been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation.
Reserves which can be produced economically through applications of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to fluid injections) are included in the proved classification when successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, and other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based.
TRANSCOASTAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
(AMOUNTS SHOWN IN THOUSANDS)
Supplemental oil and natural gas disclosures (Unaudited) (continued)
Proved Reserves Methodology (continued)
Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The prices used are the average crude oil and natural gas prices during the twelve month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.
Reserves engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil, condensate, natural gas, and natural gas liquids that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserves estimate is a function of the quality of available date and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. The reserves actually recovered, the timing of production of those reserves, as well as operating costs and the amount and timing of development expenditures may be substantially different from original estimates. Revisions result primarily from new information obtained from development drilling, production history, field tests, and data analysis and from changes in economic factors including expectation and assumptions as to availability of financing for development projects.
Reserve Quantity Information (amounts shown in whole numbers)
The following table presents the Company’s estimate of its proved oil and natural gas reserves all of which are located in Texas. These estimates are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available. The estimates have been prepared with the assistance of an independent petroleum reservoir engineering firm. Oil reserves, which include condensate and natural gas liquids, are stated in barrels and gas reserves are stated in thousands of cubic feet.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
(AMOUNTS SHOWN IN THOUSANDS)
Supplemental oil and natural gas disclosures (Unaudited) (continued)
Reserve Quantity Information (amounts shown in whole numbers) (continued)
Future cash flows are computed by applying a first-day-of-the-month 12-month average price of natural gas (Henry Hub) and oil (West Texas Intermediate) to year end quantities of proved natural gas and oil reserves. Future operating expenses and development costs are computed primarily by the Company's petroleum engineers by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the Company’s proved natural gas and oil reserves at the end of the year, based on year end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the oil and natural gas prices were applied at $96.94/Bbl and $3.67/MMBtu, $9.52/MMBtu after adjustments for liquids and BTU content, respectively, in the standardized measure. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the oil and natural gas prices were applied at $94.71/Bbl and $2,85/ MMBtu, $9.69/MMBtu after adjustments for liquids and BTU content, respectively, in the standardized measure.
Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows and Changes Therein Relating to Proved Oil Reserves
The following table, which presents a standardized measure of discounted future cash flows and changes therein relating to proved oil reserves as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the years then ended, is presented pursuant to ASC 932. In computing this data, assumptions other than those required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board could produce different results. Accordingly, the data should not be construed as being representative of the fair market value of the Partnership’s interests in proved oil reserves.
A discount factor of 10 percent was used to reflect the timing of future net cash flows. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is not intended to represent the replacement costs or fair value of the Partnership’s interests in oil properties. An estimate of fair value would take into account, among other things, the recovery of reserves not presently classified as proved, anticipated future changes in prices and costs, and a discount factor more representative of time value of money and the risks inherent in reserve estimates of oil producing operations. There have been no estimates for future plugging and abandonment costs.
