Richland's net loss ballooned to $872,745 for the quarter ended July 31, 2012 (cumulative deficit $2,559,808, shareholders' deficit -$1,765,629) as it took on real oil and gas operations: a farmout agreement (with Sun Delta, Inc. and Amerril Energy LLC) to earn oil and gas leases from Bancorp Holdings, Carrier Acquisitions, and LHMF by drilling a well, plus disclosure of a related Manek Energy Pressure Pumping hydraulic-fracturing joint venture involving Goggans' own holding company and Amerril Energy - a dramatic, short-lived pivot into real oilfield operations two months before the company deregistered with the SEC.
