NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2016

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

Rockdale Resources Corporation (“we”, “us”, “Rockdale” and the “Company”) an oil and gas exploration, development, and production company.  The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, 2015, as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and it’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Askarii Resources. Our subsidiary operates in the oil field services industry, providing equipment and services to various oil field related Companies. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process. Since the single subsidiary is wholly-owned, all non intercompany balances are included in the consolidated financial statement balances.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements follows.

Management Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and are valued using the specific identification method. The Company performs a periodic review of the inventory and if it is determined that if any has become obsolete, an inventory reserve is recorded.

Intangible Assets - Our intangible assets are subject to amortization and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are capitalized at their acquisition-date fair value. 

Equipment sales - Revenues from the sale of oil and gas related equipment are recognized at the time of sale, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and the recovery of the consideration is probable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements through the filing date and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company.

NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company plans to generate profits by reworking its existing oil or gas wells and drilling additional wells, as needed.  The Company will need to raise funds through either the sale of its securities, issuance of corporate bonds, joint venture agreements and/or bank financing to accomplish its goals.   The Company does not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide the Company with any additional capital, at this time.  If additional financing is not available when needed, the Company may need to cease operations.   The Company may not be successful in raising the capital needed to drill and/or rework existing oil wells.  Any additional wells that the Company may drill may be non-productive.  Management believes that actions presently being taken to secure additional funding for the reworking of its existing infrastructure will provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.  Since the Company has an oil producing asset, its goal is to increase the production rate by optimizing its current infrastructure.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern; no adjustments to the financial statements have been made to account for this uncertainty.

NOTE 4. EQUITY

Preferred Stock – 1,000,000 shares authorized, none issued or outstanding.

Common Stock –

On February 1, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in Askarii Resources, a private Texas based oil & gas service company. The Company acquired Askarii by issuing one million restricted common shares. Based on the current market value of the Rockdale stock at $0.05 per share, the aggregate value of the transaction is $50,000. There were minimal tangible assets purchased from Askarii. The final purchase price allocation is as follows: trademarks $10,000, internet/website $5,000, customer lists $10,000 and customer relationships $25,000.

On March 11, 2016, the Board of Directors granted (3) contract employees 700,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock for settlement of outstanding payables. The shares were issued at current market price of $0.06 per share on March 11, 2016, at a value of $42,000.

Summary information regarding common stock warrants issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2016, is as follows:

    Warrants  Weighted Average Exercise Price  Aggregate intrinsic value  Weighted average remaining contractual life (years) 
Outstanding at year ended December 31, 2015   11,910,111   $0.33   $—      3.52

Outstanding at quarter ended March 31, 2016   14,070,111   $0.29   $—      3.32 

NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company, as a lessee of oil and gas properties, is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment. These laws and regulations may, among other things, impose liability on the Company for the cost of pollution clean-up resulting from operations and subject the Company to liability for pollution damages. In some instances, the Company may be directed to suspend or cease operations in the affected area.  The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of March 31, 2016, which have not been provided for, or covered by insurance or which may have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. There can be no assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change, or past noncompliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on the Company’s properties.

Office Lease – As of June 30, 2016, the Company has one annually renewable office lease in Houston at a cost of $1,650 per month.

NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY

Transactions with related parties and affiliates

Beginning February 1, 2016, the Company sponsored the SUDS 1% Term Overriding Royalty Interest (“ORRI”) offering on behalf of the SUDS field to raise $300,000 to purchase and install pump jacks for twenty two (22) previously drilled wells at the field. Under the terms of the Rockdale offering, investors received 1% of the gross revenue from the field monthly, based on their investment of $20,000 until such time they receive a cumulative revenue amount of $30,000. With each unit purchased, a warrant to purchase 10,000 common unregistered shares of Company stock was granted with an exercise price of $0.10 on or before February 28, 2019. During the first quarter, $240,000 of the $300,000 offering had been received which resulted in the granting of warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of common stock. The following affiliated investors each purchased one (1) unit during the first quarter: Joel Oppenheim, Zel C Khan, Lee Lytton and Leo Womack. Included in that purchase each accredited investor received 10,000 warrants to purchase an additional 10,000 shares from the Company. The fair value of all these SUDS related warrants (affiliated and non affiliated) was $12,631 and was based on a $0.06 per share valuation, volatility of 235%, a discount rate of 1.09%, over a 3 year term. In addition, to properly account for Rockdale’s 10% working interest owner in the SUDS field, $24,000 of the $240,000 raise was offset against the full cost pool of Property & Equipment.

The pump jacks related to the ORRI offering were to be purchased from Askarii Resources at a market price of $10,000 per unit for a total of $220,000. Rockdale had previously purchased the surplus units as part of the Twin Lakes San Andres Unit (‘TLSAU”) acquisition before transferring them to Askarii at cost. In the first quarter, Askarii booked a profit of $149,700 on the sale of twenty (20) pump jacks to the other owners of the SUDs properties who are related parties.

On March 11, 2016, the Board of Directors granted Leo B. Womack, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share, which vests immediately, and is exercisable for 36 months thereafter. The Board also granted Lee Lytton and Joel Oppenheim, members of the Board of Directors each an option to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share, which vests immediately, and are exercisable for 36 months thereafter. The fair value of the options granted on March 11, 2016 is $115,045 and was based on a $0.06 valuation, volatility of 235%, a discount rate of 1.09% and a 3 year term. The total amount of the options was expensed in 2016. These warrants are subject to a clawback provision which would be ratably invoked if a director did not complete his 2016 service term.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, shareholders advanced an additional $65,000 while also being paid back $60,000 during the quarter. This resulted in an increase of $5,000 in borrowings through shareholders. This increased the shareholder advance liability from $46,000 at year end 2015 to $51,000 at March 31, 2016 which is included under Note payable to affiliates.

On November 4, 2015 the Company executed a Promissory Note for $146,875 related to the TLSAU acquisition. The note was due on December 31, 2015 and accrues at a rate of 10% per annum and the repayment of the note is secured by 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company. The Company exercised its one time right for a 6 month extension of the maturity date of the note by issuing BSNM 500,000 additional shares of restricted Company stock. As of March 31, 2016 the balance was included under Note payable to affiliates. On May 2, 2016, this note was converted to Rockdale shares. The 500,000 shares were issued at a price of $0.75 cents per share at a value of $37,500.

In association with Mr. Zel C. Khan’s employment agreement dated September 23, 2015, the Company issued one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s restricted stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share for each dollar of Mr. Khan’s deferred gross salary for the first quarter of 2016. The Company granted 40,000 warrants for the first quarter of 2016. The warrants have a term of 36 months from the date of grant, which will be at quarter end. . The fair value of these warrants was $4,210 and was based on a $0.07 price per share valuation, volatility of 235%, a discount rate of 1.09% and a 3 year term. At June 30, 2016, an additional 40,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock, with substantially similar terms, were granted related to the gross salary deferral for the second quarter of 2016

NOTE 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

As a result of the 2015 Annual Meeting of our Stockholders, held on April14, 2016, Quinten Beasley was elected as a new director on the Board of Directors. At the same meeting, the shareholders approved moving the Company’s domicile from Colorado to Texas and changing the Company’s name to “Petrolia Energy Corporation”. Additionally the shareholders voted to increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock to 150,000,000 shares and they ratified the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan.

On May 2, 2016, the Company paid off its outstanding Promissory Note to Blue Sky NM (“BSNM”) for $146,875. This Note was created when the 15% working interest in the Twin Lakes field was purchased earlier in the year. The payoff was made by issuing 1,468,750 shares of Company stock. Based on the market value of the stock on May 2, 2016 of $0.10, the value of the transaction was $146,875 and resulted in no gain or loss. In addition, a cash payment of $4,869 was made to pay off the remaining outstanding interest.

On May 31, 2016, the Company issued 8 units or 800,000 shares to a private investor as part of the September 1, 2015 private offering. The shares were issued at a price of $0.06 per share and included warrants to purchase an additional 800,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.12 cents per share at any time prior to August 5, 2018. This represented the final sale under this offering.

On June 30, 2016, the maturity date of the $350,000 and $200,000 Convertible Secured Promissory Notes between the Company and Rick Wilber (“Holder”) was extended to December 31, 2016. If at any time prior to December 31, 2016, the Company pays the

Holder the principal amount of $500,000 on the Notes (together with all accrued interest), the Company will receive a $50,000 discount on the total principal amount of $550,000. If the Notes are fully paid by the Company, the Company will issue new warrants for the purchase of 500,000 shares of stock at an exercise price of $0.15 cents per share and will expire five (5) years from the grant date (and the old warrants will be extinguished). If payment is not made before December 31, 2016, no discount is allowed.

During July 2016, certain shareholders provided advances of $100,000 in order to temporarily fund the Company’s working capital needs. To compensate the shareholders, the Company granted one (1) warrant for each dollar advanced, as well as paying interest of 10% on all balances outstanding. The exercise price of each warrant is $0.09 per share and they expire three (3) years from their grant date. A total of 100,000 warrants were granted.

Under the 2015 employment agreement with Zel C Khan serving as CEO, Mr. Khan agrees to defer receiving his salary until such time as the Company is cash flow positive. Mr. Khan’s total accrued salary at March 31, 2016 was $80,000. The Company agreed to issue one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s restricted common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 cents per share for each dollar of Mr. Khan’s deferred gross salary. On June 30, 2016, 40,000 additional warrants were issued related to the gross salary deferral for the second quarter.

As a result of the 2015 Annual Meeting of our Stockholders held on April 14, 2016, the shareholders approved, among other things, a Plan of Conversion, pursuant to which our corporate jurisdiction was to be changed from the State of Colorado to the State of Texas by means of a process called a “Conversion” and our name was to be changed to “Petrolia Energy Corporation”. In connection therewith, on June 15, 2016 the Company filed a Certificate of Conversion with the Texas Secretary of State, affecting the Conversion and the name change, and including a Certificate of Formation as a converted Texas Corporation. Notwithstanding Texas’s filing of the Conversion and Certificate of Formation, a Statement of Conversion has not yet been filed with the State of Colorado, and as such, and because FINRA and Depository Trust Company (DTC) have advised us that they will not recognize the Conversion or name change, or update such related information in the marketplace, until we become current in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and they have a chance to review and approve such transactions, we are taking the position that the Conversion and name change are not legally effective. We plan to file the Statement of Conversion with the State of Colorado shortly after this filing and work to have FINRA and DTC reflect such transactions with the OTC Markets shortly thereafter.

On February 10, 2016, a shareholder provided an advance of $20,000 in order to temporarily fund the Company’s working capital needs. On April 1, 2016, in order to compensate the shareholder, the Company granted 285,714 shares in order to pay off the debt in full. The valuation of the grant was $20,000, based on 285,714 shares valued at $0.07 per share on April 1, 2016.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Background

We were incorporated in Colorado on January 16, 2002.

We planned to sell custom framed artwork, art accessories, and interior design consulting. However, we generated only limited revenue since inception and have been inactive since 2008.

In February 2012 we decided it would be in the best interests of our shareholders to no longer pursue our original business plan and, in April 2012 we became active in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties.

On May 4, 2012 we amended our articles of incorporation and changed our name to Rockdale Resources Corporation. (1)

Plan of Operation

Since 2015, we have established a clearly defined strategy to acquire, enhance and redevelop high-quality, resource in place assets. Focused on acquisitions in the southwest United States while actively pursuing our strategy to offer low-cost operational solutions in established Oil and Gas regions. We believe our mix of assets-oil-in-place conventional plays, low-risk resource plays and the redevelopment of our late-stage plays is a solid foundation for continued growth and future revenue growth.

Our strategy is to acquire low risk, conventionally producing oil fields. This strategy allows us to incorporate new technology to minimize risk and maximize the recoverability of existing reservoirs. This approach allows us to minimize the environmental impact caused by exploratory development.

Our activities will primarily be dependent upon available financing.

Oil and gas leases are considered real property.  Title to properties which we may acquire will be subject to landowner’s royalties, overriding royalties, carried working and other similar interests and contractual arrangements customary in the oil and gas industry, to liens for current taxes not yet due, liens for amounts owing to persons operating wells, and other encumbrances.  As is customary in the industry, in the case of undeveloped properties little investigation of record title will be made at the time of acquisition (other than a preliminary review of local records).  However, drilling title opinions may be obtained before commencement of drilling operations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(1)As a result of the 2015 Annual Meeting of our Stockholders held on April 14, 2016, the shareholders approved, among other things, a Plan of Conversion, pursuant to which our corporate jurisdiction was to be changed from the State of Colorado to the State of Texas by means of a process called a “Conversion” and our name was to be changed to “Petrolia Energy Corporation”. In connection therewith, on June 15, 2016 the Company filed a Certificate of Conversion with the Texas Secretary of State, affecting the Conversion and the name change, and including a Certificate of Formation as a converted Texas Corporation. Notwithstanding Texas’s filing of the Conversion and Certificate of Formation, a Statement of Conversion has not yet been filed with the State of Colorado, and as such, and because FINRA and Depository Trust Company (DTC) have advised us that they will not recognize the Conversion or name change, or update such related information in the marketplace, until we become current in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and they have a chance to review and approve such transactions, we are taking the position that the Conversion and name change are not legally effective. We plan to file the Statement of Conversion with the State of Colorado shortly after this filing and work to have FINRA and DTC reflect such transactions with the OTC Markets shortly thereafter.

Minerva-Rockdale Field

The Minerva-Rockdale Field, which is located approximately 30 miles Northeast of Austin, Texas, was first discovered in 1921 and is approximately 50 square miles in size. The main producing formation for this field is the Upper Cretaceous Navarro Group of sands and shale’s. The Navarro is typically subdivided into several producing zones from the uppermost “A” and “B” sands to the lower “C” and “D” sands. The “B” sand is the primary producing zone. These sands are commonly fine grained and poorly sorted and were deposited close to a shoreline during a cycle of marine regression.

In April 2013, the Company entered into a lease pertaining to a 423 acre tract in Milam County, Texas, which is adjacent to the Company’s original 200 acre lease.  The Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock as consideration for a 100% working interest (75% net revenue interest) in such lease.

In August 2013, we became an oil and gas operator and took over the operation of 100% of our wells.  As such, we terminated our relationship with RTO Operating, LLC for the day-to-day operations and monitoring of our wells. During 2014, the Company continued to operate its own lease. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company hired Jovian Petroleum Corporation (Jovian) to survey the operations and well performance at the Noack field. Their report identified paraffin buildup problems in the well bores and gathering lines as the main production issue for the Company to overcome. In December 2014, the Company signed an operating agreement with Jovian to assume full operational responsibility for the Noack field under a fixed fee agreement of $10,000 per month for full operating field services. On March 1, 2015, the Company hired Zel C. Khan, our current CEO and director, who is the largest stockholder of Jovian, as well as several former employees of Jovian Petroleum. This allowed for the fixed fee agreement with Jovian to end.

During the period from our inception to December 31, 2011, we did not drill any oil or gas wells.  During the year-ended December 31, 2012 we drilled and completed six (6) oil wells and during 2013 the Company drilled and completed three (3) wells of which one (1) was converted to an injection well. During 2014 the Company drilled seven (7) new wells. Six (6) of the wells were completed, five (5) wells produced, one (1) did not produce and one (1) well was not completed. During 2015, the Company had fourteen (14) wells producing with one (1) injection well and one (1) well remaining offline.

Also, one of the existing non-producing wells was worked over and was converted to a producing well in 2014.

Slick Unit Dutcher Sands (“SUDS”) Field

The SUDS oilfield consists of 2,600 acres located in Creek County, Oklahoma and carries a 7.8% net revenue interest (NRI). The first oil producer was completed in 1918 by Standard Oil of Ohio (“Sohio”), which at that time was owned by John D. Rockefeller. By 1959, approximately 14,000,000 barrels of oil had been recovered at an average well depth of 3,100 feet and over 100 wells in production. Through a series of events, the infrastructure had deteriorated and the field suffered a lot of neglect. Since 2011, Jovian has invested an estimated $1.6 million into the restoration of the field; rebuilding the infrastructure and putting wells back in production. To date, 18 wells have been worked over and 9 are fully operational with considerable reserves remaining.

The Company acquired a 10% working interest in the SUDS field on September 23, 2015, in exchange for 10,586,805 shares of restricted common stock. Based on the then current market value of our common stock, $0.068 per share, the price paid was $719,903 or $4.77 dollars per barrel of oil (Bbl). Through this transaction, the Company increased its reserve base by approximately 151,000 Bbls of (1P) proven reserves. Concurrently with the purchase, Jovian agreed to assign to Rockdale all rights to be the operator of the SUDS unit under a standard operating agreement.

Twin Lakes San Andres Unit (“TLSAU”) Field

TLSAU is 45 miles from Roswell, Chavez County, New Mexico and consists of 4,864 acres with 130 wells. The last independent reserve report prepared by MKM Engineering on December 31, 2015, reflects approximately 3.4 million barrels of proven oil reserves remaining for the 100% working interest.

On November 4, 2015, the Company acquired a 15% net working interest in the TLSAU field (the “Net Working Interest”) and all operating equipment on the field. Through this transaction, the Company increased its reserve base by approximately 384,800 Bbls of (1P) proven reserves. The Company was assigned all rights to be the operator of the TLSAU field under a standard operating agreement. The total purchase price for the acquisition of the Net Working Interest and equipment rights was $196,875 or $0.52 dollars per barrel of oil (Bbl) and was paid to Blue Sky NM, Inc (“BSNM”). The Company paid $50,000 in cash and gave a BSNM promissory note in the amount of $146,875. The $50,000 was paid by the CEO for the benefit of the Company and recorded as a shareholder advance. On November 5, 2015, the $50,000 advance was converted to 800,000 shares at $0.06 per share which included 800,000 warrants. In addition, a $1.3 million face value BSNM note was purchased for $316,800 (6,000,000 shares or 0.0528 per share). With the inclusion of the note, the price per barrel would be $1.33 dollars per barrel of oil (Bbl).

As of March 31, 2016, the Company has sixteen wells drilled and completed, of which thirteen wells are currently online and producing at a rate of approximately 30 bbls of oil and 64bbls of water per day.

Askarii Resources, LLC

Askarii has a significant history with major oil companies providing services both onshore and offshore as well with regulatory agencies in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Through Askarii the Company will engage in the oil field service business as well as the leasing of field related heavy equipment.

Results of Operations/Liquidity and Capital Resources

Revenues

Our oil and gas revenue reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $22,999, a decrease of $37,527 from the prior year’s quarter revenue of $60,526. Our decreased revenue for the quarter ended March, 31, 2016 as compared with the prior year’s quarter is due to the decrease in oil prices and a number of Noack wells requiring paraffin wax treatment during the period. Our equipment sales for quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $180,000, an increase of the same since this was our first quarter to have equipment sales (see Note 6 above for additional details of the sale). This increase was due to Askarii’s sale of 20 pump jacks during the period.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased to $438,736 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 from $232,017 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Our major expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 were professional services of $78,666, stock based compensation (directors) of $127,755, and salaries and wages of $77,320, all included in general and administrative expenses. In comparison, major operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 were stock-based contract labor of $34,000, accounting expense of $22,890, legal and professional fees of $30,000 and salaries and wages of $20,000, all included in general and administrative expenses.

Our lease operating expenses decreased from $56,871 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 to $44,901 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, due to closer oversight and more efficient operating procedures. Our general and administrative expenses increase was primarily due to the recognition of board compensation in the first quarter (for the whole year). In addition, there were increased costs related to contractor compensation for accounting, investor, and financial analysis supporting services.

Other Income/Expenses

Other income/(expense) was ($66,205) for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 compared to other expense of ($41,789) for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest expense for the respective period.

Net Loss

Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $301,942 compared to a net loss of $213,280 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 due to the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our sources and (uses) of funds for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were:

Cash provided (used) in operations  $39,107 
Capital expenditures on oil and gas properties   21,264 
Proceeds from shareholder and affiliate advances   65,000 
Payment of affiliate advances   (60,000)
Payments on notes payable   (1,610)

Overview of Cash Flow Activities:

Net cash provided / (used by) operating activities was $39,108 and ($77,962) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The change was due primarily to an increase in working capital requirements, due to newly acquired fields with higher cumulative lease operating expenses. This was partially offset by a decrease in cash expended for general and administrative expenses as well as a delay in the accounts payable cycle (increased days outstanding).

Net cash provided by investing activities was $21,623 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively. The increase was due to a conveyance of oil and gas properties related to the SUDS ORRI.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,390 and $55,298 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease from 2015 to 2016 was due to a year to year reduction in advances from affiliates.

As of March 31, 2016, we had total current assets of $279,875 and total assets in the amount of $4,257,462. Our total current liabilities as of March 31, 2016 were $1,019,325. We had negative working capital of $739,450 as of March 31, 2016. Our material asset balances are made up of oil & gas properties and related equipment. Our most significant liabilities include a related party notes, ARO and accruals for professional services. One related party note ($550,000) is with Rick Wilber (see Note 8 for further details). The other related party note is with BSNM and was created during the TLSAU purchase. Additionally, there is $51,000 of shareholder advances outstanding that are temporarily funding working capital shortfalls.

During the year ended March 31, 2014, the Company raised $780,000 through the sale of 2,600,111 shares to private investors as part of a private placement, detailed on Form 8-K filed on February 14, 2014. The shares were all purchased at a price of $0.30 per share and included warrants. The purchasers included David Baker and Leo Womack both of whom were Directors at the time.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we raised $140,000 through a private placement offering with warrants authorized by the Board on March 23, 2015. We also raised $162,000 through a private placement offering with warrants, as reported on Form 8-K filed November 9, 2015.

From January 1, 2016 to the date of this filing we raised $48,000 through issuing 800,000 shares @ $0.06 per share, from the September 1, 2015 private offering. This represented the final sale under this offering.

On May 31, 2016, the Company issued 8 units or 800,000 shares to a private investor as part of the September 1, 2015 private offering. The shares were issued at a price of $0.06 per share and included warrants to purchase an additional 800,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.12 cents per share at any time prior to August 5, 2018. This represented the final sale under this offering.

The Company continues to operate at a negative cash flow of approximately $50,000 per month and our Auditors have raised a going concern issue in their latest audit report. Management is pursuing several initiatives to secure funding to increase production at both the SUDS and Twin Lakes fields which together with the increased price of crude oil may allow the Company to become cash flow positive later this year. The total amount required by the Company to accomplish this objective is approximately $250,000, of which no assurance can be provided that these initiatives will actually occur.

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We plan to generate profits by drilling productive oil or gas wells. However, we will need to raise additional funds to drill new wells through the sale of our securities, through loans from third parties or from third parties willing to pay our share of drilling and completing the wells. We do not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide us with any additional capital. If additional financing is not available when needed, we may need to cease operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the capital needed to drill oil or gas wells nor that any such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Any wells which we may drill may not be productive of oil or gas. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern; no adjustments to the financial statements have been made to account for this uncertainty.

Critical Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the financial statements included as part of our Annual Report  on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 17, 2016 for a description of our critical accounting policies and the potential impact of the adoption of any new accounting pronouncements.

Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. 

Use of Proceeds from Sale of Registered Securities 

On February 1, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in Askarii Resources, a private Texas based oil & gas service company. The Company acquired Askarii by issuing one million restricted common shares. Based on the current market value of the Rockdale stock at $0.05 per share, the aggregate value of the transaction is $50,000. There were minimal tangible assets that were purchased from Askarii. The final purchase price allocation was as follows: trademarks $10,000, internet/website $5,000, customer lists $10,000 and customer relationships $25,000.

Beginning February 1, 2016, the Company sponsored the SUDS 1% Term Overriding Royalty Interest (“ORRI”) offering on behalf of the SUDS field to raise $300,000 to purchase and install pump jacks for twenty two (22) previously drilled wells at the field. Under the terms of the Rockdale offering, investors received 1% of the gross revenue from the field monthly, based on their investment of $20,000 until such time they receive a cumulative revenue amount of $30,000. With each unit purchased, a warrant to purchase 10,000 common unregistered shares of Company stock was granted with an exercise price of $0.10 on or before February 28, 2019. During the first quarter, $240,000 of the $300,000 offering had been received which resulted in the granting of warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of common stock. The following affiliated investors each purchased one (1) unit during the first quarter: Joel Oppenheim, Zel C Khan, Lee Lytton and Leo Womack. Included in that purchase each accredited investor received 10,000 warrants to purchase an additional 10,000 shares from the Company. The fair value of all these SUDS related warrants (affiliated and non affiliated) was $12,631 and was based on a $0.06 per share valuation, volatility of 235%, a discount rate of 1.09% over a 3 year term. In addition, to properly account for Rockdale’s 15% working interest owner in the SUDS field, $24,000 of the $240,000 raise was offset against the full cost pool of Property & Equipment.

The pump jacks related to the ORRI offering were to be purchased from Askarii Resources at a market price of $10,000 per unit for a total of $220,000. Rockdale had previously purchased the surplus units as part of the Twin Lakes San Andres Unit (‘TLSAU”) acquisition before transferring them to Askarii at cost. In the first quarter, Askarii booked a profit of $169,700 on the sale of twenty (20) pump jacks

On March 11, 2016, the Board of Directors granted Leo B. Womack, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share, which vests immediately, and is exercisable for 36 months thereafter. The Board also granted Lee Lytton and Joel Oppenheim, members of the Board of Directors each an option to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share, which vests immediately, and are exercisable for 36 months thereafter. The fair value of the options granted on March 11, 2016 is $115,045. The total amount of the options was expensed in 2016. These warrants are subject to a clawback provision which would be ratably invoked if a director did not complete his 2016 service term.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, shareholders advanced an additional $65,000 while also being paid back $60,000 during the quarter. This resulted in an increase of $5,000 in borrowings through shareholders. This increased the shareholder advance liability from $46,000 at year end 2015 to $51,000 at March 31, 2016 which is included under Note payable to affiliates.

On March 11, 2016, the Board of Directors granted (3) contract employees 700,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock for settlement of outstanding payables. The shares were issued at current market price of $0.06 per share on March 11, 2016, at a value of $42,000.

In association with Mr. Zel C. Khan’s employment agreement dated September 23, 2015, the Company issued one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s restricted stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share for each dollar of Mr. Khan’s deferred gross salary for the first quarter of 2016. The Company granted 40,000 warrants for the first quarter of 2016. The warrants have a term of 36 months from the date of grant, which will be at quarter end. The fair value of these warrants was $4,210 and was based on a $0.07 price per share valuation, volatility of 235%, a discount rate of 1.09% and a 3 year term. At June 30, 2016, an additional 40,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock, with substantially similar terms, were granted related to the gross salary deferral for the second quarter of 2016.

On May 2, 2016, the Company paid off its outstanding Promissory Note to Blue Sky NM (“BSNM”) for $146,875. This Note was created when the 15% working interest in the Twin Lakes field was purchased earlier in the year. The payoff was made by issuing 1,468,750 shares of Company stock. Based on the market value of the stock on May 2, 2016 of $0.10, the value of the transaction was $146,875 and resulted in no gain or loss. In addition, a cash payment of $4,869 was made to pay off the remaining outstanding interest.

On May 31, 2016, the Company issued 8 units or 800,000 shares to a private investor as part of the September 1, 2015 private offering. The shares were issued at a price of $0.06 per share and included warrants to purchase an additional 800,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.12 cents per share at any time prior to August 5, 2018. This represented the final sale under this offering.

On June 30, 2016, the maturity date of the $350,000 and $200,000 Convertible Secured Promissory Notes between the Company and Rick Wilber (“Holder”) was extended to December 31, 2016. If at any time prior to December 31, 2016, the Company pays the Holder the principal amount of $500,000 on the Notes (together with all accrued interest), the Company will receive a $50,000 discount on the total principal amount of $550,000. If the Notes are fully paid by the Company, the Company will issue new warrants for the purchase of 500,000 shares of stock at an exercise price of $0.15 cents per share and will expire five (5) years from the grant date (and the old warrants will be extinguished). If payment is not made before December 31, 2016, no discount is allowed.

 

During July 2016, certain shareholders provided advances in order to temporarily fund the Company’s working capital needs. A total of $100,000 was funded. To compensate the shareholders, the Company granted one (1) warrant for each dollar advanced, as well as paying interest of 10% on all balances outstanding. The exercise price of each warrant is $0.09 per share and they expire three (3) years from their grant date. A total of 100,000 warrants were granted.

Under the 2015 employment agreement with Zel C Khan serving as CEO, Mr. Khan agrees to defer receiving his salary until such time as the Company is cash flow positive. Mr. Khan’s total accrued salary at March 31, 2016 was $80,000. The Company agreed to issue one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s restricted common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 cents per share for each dollar of Mr. Khan’s deferred gross salary. At June 30, 2016, 40,000 additional warrants were issued related to the gross salary deferral for the second quarter.

On February 10, 2016, a shareholder provided an advance of $20,000 in order to temporarily fund the Company’s working capital needs. On April 1, 2016, in order to compensate the shareholder, the Company granted 285,714 shares in order to pay off the debt in full. The valuation of the grant was $20,000, based on 285,714 shares valued at $0.07 per share on April 1, 2016.
