History
A board-game shell turned oil explorer lost its Thai and Texas ventures, borrowed heavily for Louisiana interests, then handed management to a CEO-linked firm before deregistering in 2009.
2001-2004: A shell finds oil
The company began as Pacific Sports Enterprises, renamed Make Your Move, Inc. in May 2001. In July 2001 The Rolling Group bought 800,000 shares, stated as 80%, for $50,000, and Henry Rolling became president. The company also reported buying a board-game maker and an LCD and computer maker, so this was not an oil business. The record is then quiet for three years.
In August 2004 the shell closed the purchase of Texhoma Energy, LLC, issuing 20,000,000 shares for a 50% interest in the Hubach 2A oil well and a 25% interest in the Clayton #1 gas well in Runnels County, Texas. The filing showed 45,337,798 shares outstanding afterwards.
2004-2006: Thailand and a reversal
The Texas deal did not last. In November 2004 the board cancelled the Hubach acquisition after the sellers did not produce updated engineering reports, and the 20,000,000 shares were to be returned. In its place the company agreed to buy 40% of Black Swan Petroleum from Capersia Pte Ltd, giving exposure to a Gulf of Thailand block that had to drill two wells. A 4-for-1 forward split followed. By January 2005 the price was stated as 56,000,000 post-split shares plus $150,000, and Capersia held 55.55% of 100,812,252 shares, a change of control. Frank Jacobs became Chairman.
The Thai drilling was unsuccessful in March 2005. In January 2006 the company transferred the stakes to Pacific Spinner Limited for no consideration, keeping a right to 20% of any resale proceeds.
2006-2007: Borrowing for the Gulf Coast
The company turned to Louisiana. In March 2006 its new subsidiary Texaurus Energy sold Laurus Master Fund an $8,500,000 secured note due March 2009. It used $5,225,000 to buy Kilrush Petroleum interests, and Laurus received warrants over 10,625,000 shares and 49% of Texaurus. In April 2006 Texaurus bought a 10% interest in Little White Lake for $2,500,000 plus 37,500,000 new shares.
In June 2006 the company borrowed $250,000 from Polaris Holdings, due August 2006, to drill the Allain-LeBreton No. 2 well at Clovelly, where it said it held 11%. The beats do not show the well's result or the note's repayment. In October 2006 it sold 25% of the Bayou Choctaw project to Morgan Creek Energy, then raised its participation, leaving a 16.667% interest. It also owed director Frank Jacobs $493,643.77.
In November 2007 the company settled disputes with Jacobs and others. About $640,000 of claims was forgiven, Jacobs returned 5,000,000 shares for cancellation, and Capersia's 30,000,000 shares were limited in resale. The company also sold $250,000 of convertible notes to Pagest Services SA.
2008-2009: ASL and deregistration
In September 2008 the company signed a management and joint venture deal with ASL Energy, LLC, whose CEO was Daniel Vesco, the company's own CEO. ASL was to find assets or a merger candidate, taking 80% of distributions against the company's 20%, for $20,000 a month. Vesco was to receive 150,000,000 shares, with smaller issues to other consultants, all dependent on shareholders approving more authorized shares than the 200,000,000 then allowed. No assets had yet been contributed.
In February 2009 the company deregistered its securities, ending its obligation to file reports with the SEC.
