ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Access US Oil & Gas (formerly Gumtree Acquisition Corporation) (the "Company") was incorporated on April 23, 2012 under the laws of the State of Delaware.
The Company has an agreement (“Agreement”) with Comanche Exploration Company LLC (“Comanche”) in which it obtained a percentage right to a land leasehold and the right and obligation to participate in oil drilling and mineral exploitation on that and other land. The Company has made an initial $500,000 deposit on the Agreement, and is actively raising debt financing to satisfy its additional capital obligations under the Agreement. It also plans to enter into more oil drilling and pumping agreements with Comanche as additional capital is raised.
The Company
The Company is in the development stage and has sustained operating losses since inception. At December 31, 2012, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $342,000. The Company also has a net loss from operations of $341,469 from April 23, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012.
Through December 31, 2012, the Company had not generated revenues and had no income or cash flows from operations. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Such continuation is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing until it can generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its financial obligations.
Management plans to raise additional debt financing to pay expenses until the cash flows from operations are adequate to meet its obligations . There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
As used in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation," except where the context otherwise requires, the term "we," "us," or "our," refers to the business of Access US Oil & Gas, Inc.
Overview
We were incorporated on April 23, 2012 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. On September 7, 2012, the shareholders of the Corporation and the Board of Directors unanimously approved the change of the Registrant's name to Access US Oil & Gas, Inc. and filed such change with the State of Delaware.
We are in the development stage and operations to date have been to obtain agreements with Comanche for oil exploration and drilling, as well as efforts to raise debt financing to invest with Comanche.
Through December 31, 2012, the Company had not generated revenues and had no income or cash flows from operations. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Such continuation is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing until it can generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its financial obligations.
Management plans to raise additional debt financing to pay expenses until the cash flows from operations are adequate to meet its obligations . There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our accompanying financial statements.
Pursuant to the JOBS Act of 2012, as an emerging growth company the Company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period for any new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the PCAOB or the SEC.
The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the standard for the private company. This may make comparison of the Company's financial statements with any other public company which is not either an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible as possible different or revised standards may be used.
Although the Company is still evaluating the JOBS Act, it currently intends to take advantage of some or all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to it so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”. The Company has elected not to opt out of the extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards available under Section 102(b) of the JOBS Act. Among other things, this means that the Company's independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting so long as it qualifies as an emerging growth company, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as it qualifies as an emerging growth company, the Company may elect not to provide certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of executive officers that would otherwise have been required to provide in filings with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the Company. As a result, investor confidence in the Company and the market price of its common stock may be adversely affected.
Use of Estimates
Financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among other things, management makes estimates relating to the fair value of financial instruments and the valuation allowance related to deferred income tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements or standards updates that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Results of Operations and Financial Condition for the Period from the inception April 23 2012 through December 31, 2012
The following is an analysis of the results of our operations for the period from the inception April 23, 2012 through December 31, 2012.
We have not generated any revenues or incurred any cost of revenues as of December 31, 2012. During the period from the inception April 23, 2012 through December 31, 2012, we had operating expenses of $341,469 which primarily represented expenses associated with obtaining our agreement with Comanche Exploration Company, LLC (“Comanche”) for future oil exploration activities, as well as consulting and legal fees in order to comply with regulatory requirements.
There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operations amounted to $253,231 for the period from the inception April 23, 2012 through December 31, 2012. This was primarily the result of our net loss of $342,000 during 2012, offset by an increase in accounts payable of $88,238.
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $500,000 for the period from the inception April 23, 2012 through December 31, 2012, which was the result of an increase in deposits and other assets from a down payment pursuant to an oil exploration agreement entered into with Comanche. On January 31, 2013, the Company made a second scheduled investment of $500,000. The third and final scheduled investment of $1,000,000 was due on March 15, 2013; however, the scheduled payment has been extended to May 31, 2013.
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $755,000 for the period from the inception April 23, 2012 through December 31, 2012, which was the result of $530,000 in borrowings from a related party, as well as $225,000 in proceeds from two promissory notes during the year.
Promissory Notes
On October 5, 2012, the Company borrowed $150,000 from an individual pursuant to a promissory note agreement. The note has an interest rate of 0% per annum and is due 50% two years from the date of issue, and 50% three years from the date of issue. In connection with this note payable, the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock to the individual on October 5, 2012 as an inducement to make the loan.
On October 8, 2012, the Company borrowed $75,000 from an individual pursuant to a promissory note agreement. The note has an interest rate of 0% per annum and is due 50% two years from the date of issue, and 50% three years from the date of issued. In connection with this note payable, the Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock to the individual on October 8, 2012 as an inducement to make the loan.
On December 1, 2012, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement with Access the USA (“AUSA”), a related party entity through common ownership. Under the terms of the agreement, any borrowings are due on demand and accrue interest at 5% per annum starting on January 1, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, AUSA had advanced the Company an aggregate total of $530,000 to fund the project with Comanche.
As of December 31, 2012 the Company had cash available of $1,769.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Access US Oil & Gas, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Access US Oil & Gas, Inc, (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2012, and the related statement of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the period from April 23, 2012 (Inception) through December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide 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 Access US Oil & Gas, Inc. as of December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from April 23, 2012 (Inception) through December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated revenues since inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Access US Oil & Gas, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on April 23, 2012 under the laws of the State of Delaware. On September 7, 2012, the shareholders of the Corporation and the Board of Directors unanimously approved the change of the Registrant's name from Gumtree Acquisition Corporation to Access US Oil & Gas, Inc.
The Company is in the development stage and is raising capital to invest in oil exploration and drilling.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").
USE OF ESTIMATES
Financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among other things, management makes estimates relating to the fair value of financial instruments and the valuation allowance related to deferred income tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. The Company did not have cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit as of December 31, 2012.
INCOME TAXES
Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, "Income Taxes", deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
The basic loss per share is the same as the diluted loss per share as there are no potentially dilutive shares. The loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would share in the loss of the entity.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company follows guidance for accounting for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company adopted guidance for fair value measurement related to nonfinancial items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The Company monitors the market conditions and evaluates the fair value hierarchy levels at least quarterly. For any transfers in and out of the levels of the fair value hierarchy, the Company elects to disclose the fair value measurement at the beginning of the reporting period during which the transfer occurred.
The Company's financial instruments consisted of cash and the notes payable. The estimated fair value of these instruments approximates its carrying amount due to the short maturity of these instruments.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements or standards updates that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and has negative cash flows from operations. It also has an accumulated deficit of $342,000 as of December 31, 2012. As a result, the Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing until it can generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until it begins generating positive cash flow.
There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - DEPOSITS AND OTHER ASSETS
On October 17, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Comanche Exploration Company, LLC (“Comanche”), an oil exploration and drilling company, to develop and drill wells in Mississippi. The Company has agreed to acquire a 12.5% interest in the project for a total investment of $2,000,000. On December 15, 2012, the Company made the first scheduled investment of $500,000. The amounts have been recorded as deposits and other assets on the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.
On January 31, 2013, the Company made the second scheduled investment of $500,000. The third and final scheduled investment of $1,000,000 was due on March 15, 2013; however, the scheduled payment has been extended to May 31, 2013.
As of December 31, 2012, the Comanche project had not yet started. Once the project begins, the Company will amortize the costs over the estimated term of the project and related revenue streams.
NOTE 4 - DUE TO RELATED PARTY
On December 1, 2012, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement with Access the USA (“AUSA”), a related party entity through common ownership. Under the terms of the agreement, any borrowings are due on demand and accrue interest at 5% per annum starting on January 1, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, AUSA had advanced the Company an aggregate total of $530,000 to fund the project with Comanche (see Note 3).
NOTE 5 - LONG TERM NOTES PAYABLE
On October 5, 2012, the Company borrowed $150,000 from an individual pursuant to a promissory note agreement. The note has an interest rate of 0% per annum and is due 50% two years from the date of issue, and 50% three years from the date of issue. In connection with this note payable, the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock to the individual on October 5, 2012 as an inducement to make the loan.
On October 8, 2012, the Company borrowed $75,000 from an individual pursuant to a promissory note agreement. The note has an interest rate of 0% per annum and is due 50% two years from the date of issue, and 50% three years from the date of issued. In connection with this note payable, the Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock to the individual on October 8, 2012 as an inducement to make the loan.
The fair value of the common stock issued in connection with the above notes payable was allocated on a pro rata basis to the proceeds from the notes payable. The aggregate amount allocated to the value of the common stock amounted to $6,781, which has been recorded as a discount to the notes payable in the accompanying balance sheet and is being amortized as interest expense over the life of the notes payable. The amount amortized as interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2012 amounted to $531, and the remaining discount amounted to $6,250 as of December 31, 2012 which will be amortized through October 2015.
Future scheduled maturities of these notes payable are as follows for the years ended December 31.
NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2012, 20,700,000 shares of common stock and no preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
On April 30, 2012, the Company issued 20,000,000 common shares to two directors and officers as founders shares.
On October 5, 2012, the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock to a debt holder as an inducement to provide the loan.
On October 8, 2012, the Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock to a debt holder as an inducement to provide the loan.
NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January 2013, the Company borrowed an aggregate total of $125,000 of additional notes payable from the two individuals comprising the existing notes payable (see Note 3). The borrowings were made using the same terms as the existing borrowings.
In January 2013, the Company borrowed an additional $500,000 from AUSA to make the second scheduled investment in the Comanche project (see Note 2).

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our interim principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2012.
The determination that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2012 was a result of:
·
the fact that we do not have significant operations and as a result do not have an internal accounting and financial department; and
·
insufficient segregation of duties.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company effected a change in control on September 2012, resulting in the resignation of the then officers and directors. New officers and directors are now in charge of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting but have not made any changes during its fourth fiscal quarter that materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Under the direction of our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 based upon the control criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our internal control over financial reporting was deemed to be not effective as of December 31, 2012.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act that permanently exempted non-accelerated filers from the auditor attestation requirement.
