PETROLIA ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2019 AND 2018

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

Petrolia Energy Corporation (the “Company”) is in the business of oil and gas exploration, development and production.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) 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 year ended December 31, 2018, as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Leases

Leases are classified as operating leases or financing leases based on the lease term and fair value associated with the lease. The assessment is done at lease commencement and reassessed only when a modification occurs that is not considered a separate contract.

Lessee arrangements

Where the Company is the lessee, leases classified as operating leases are recorded as lease liabilities based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the lease term, discounted using the lessor’s rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, if the lessor’s implicit rate is not readily determinable. The lease term includes all periods covered by renewal and termination options where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the renewal options or not to exercise the termination options. Corresponding right-of-use assets are recognized consisting of the lease liabilities, initial direct costs and any lease incentive payments.

Lease liabilities are drawn down as lease payments are made and right-of-use assets are depreciated over the term of the lease. Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, consisting of interest accrued on the lease liability and depreciation of the right-of-use asset, adjusted for changes in index-based variable lease payments in the period of change.

Lease payments on short-term operating leases with lease terms twelve months or less are expensed as incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted in the current year

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases”, using the modified retrospective method, whereby a cumulative effect adjustment was made as of the date of initial application. The Company elected the practical expedient to use the effective date of adoption as the date of initial application. Accordingly, financial information and disclosures in the comparative period were not restated. The Company also elected to apply the package of practical expedients such that for any expired or existing leases, it did not reassess lease classification, initial direct costs or whether the relevant contracts are or contain leases. The Company did not use hindsight to reassess lease term or for the determination of impairment of right-of-use assets.

Adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have any impact on the Company as all its leases are short-term operating leases with lease terms twelve months or less.

To be Adopted in Future Years

In June 2016, Financial Account Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Loss on financial Instruments”. ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with the expected credit loss impairment model, which requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate expected credit losses over the life of the instrument instead of only when losses are incurred. This standard applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost basis and investments in leases recognized by the lessor. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating this standard to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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. The Company will need to raise funds through either the sale of its securities or through debt funding to accomplish its goals. If additional financing is not available when needed, the Company may not be able to rework existing oil wells. 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.

4. EVALUATED PROPERTIES

On November 1, 2018, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) with Crossroads Petroleum L.L.C. and Houston Gulf Energy (“HGE”) to sell 100% working interest in the NOACK field assets located in Milam County, Texas (the “NOACK Assets”). HGE agreed to pay $375,000 but defaulted on payment after making payments of $255,000, leaving a $120,000 receivable balance. The receivable balance was written off in April 2019. Consequently, the $255,000 was recognized as a gain on sale of assets. See Note 13 – Subsequent Events for discussion about the subsequent “re-sale” of the NOACK property.

	(i)	On May 8, 2014, the Company, with the primary guarantee provided by the Company’s former CEO, David Baker, purchased a backhoe to use at the Texas field. David Baker entered into an installment note in the amount of $57,613 for a term of three years and interest at 2.9% per annum. On June 1, 2018, the equipment was returned to the seller with no further action taken by the Company, Mr. Baker, or the lender.

	(ii)	On January 6, 2017, the Company purchased a truck and entered into an installment note in the amount of $35,677 for a term of five years and interest at 5.49% per annum. Payments of principal and interest in the amount of $683 are due monthly.

	(iii)	On May 9, 2018, Bow Energy Ltd. (“Bow”), a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with a third party. The Loan Agreement increased by $800,000 the amount of a previous loan agreement entered into between Bow and the Lender, to $1,530,000. The amount owed under the Loan Agreement accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum (19% upon the occurrence of an event of default) and is due and payable on May 11, 2021, provided that the amount owed can be prepaid prior to maturity, beginning 60 days after the date of the Loan Agreement, provided that the Company gives the Lender 10 days’ notice of its intent to repay and pays the Lender the interest which would have been due through the maturity date at the time of repayment. The Loan Agreement contains standard and customary events of default, including cross defaults under other indebtedness obligations of the Company and Bow, and the occurrence of any event which would have a material adverse effect on the Company or Bow. The Company is required to make principal payments of $10,000 per month from January through September 2019 with the remaining balance of $710,000 due at maturity on May 11, 2021.

The additional $800,000 borrowed in connection with the entry into the Loan Agreement was used by the Company to acquire a 25% working interest in approximately 41,526 acres located in the Luseland, Hearts Hill, and Cuthbert fields, located in Southwest Saskatchewan and Eastern Alberta, Canada (collectively, the “Canadian Properties” and the “Working Interest”).

		In order to induce the Lender to enter into the Loan Agreement, the Company agreed to issue the Lender 500,000 shares of restricted common stock (the “Loan Shares”), which were issued on May 18, 2018, and warrants to purchase 2,320,000 shares of common stock (the “Loan Warrants”), of which warrants to purchase (a) 320,000 shares of common stock have an exercise price of $0.10 per share in Canadian dollars and expire in May 15, 2021, (b) 500,000 shares of common stock have an exercise price of $0.12 per share in U.S. dollars, and expire on May 15, 2021; and (c) 1,500,000 shares of common stock have an exercise price of $0.10 per share in U.S. dollars and expire on May 15, 2020.

		The fair value of the 500,000 common shares issued were assessed at the market price of the stock on the date of issuance and valued at $47,500. The fair value of the Canadian dollar denominated warrants issued were assessed at $30,012 using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value of the U.S. dollar denominated warrants issued were assessed at $182,650 using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. The Company determined the debt modification to be an extinguishment of debt and recorded a total loss on extinguishment of debt of $260,162.

		Upon the disposition of Bow, a total of $730,000 of the obligations owed under the Loan Agreement were transferred to Blue Sky Resources Ltd. (“Blue Sky”).

	(iv)	On September 17, 2018, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a third party for $200,000 to acquire an additional 3% working interest in the Canadian Properties. The loan bears interest at 12% per annum and has a maturity date of October 17, 2019. Payments of principal and interest in the amount of $6,000 are due monthly. The loan is secured against the Company’s 3% working interest in the Canadian Properties and has no financial covenants

	(v)	On April 25, 2019, the Company entered into a promissory note (an “Acquisition Note”) with a third-party in the amount of $750,000 to acquire working interests in the Utikuma oil field in Alberta Canada. The Note bears interest at 15% per annum and is due in full at maturity on April 25, 2021. No payments are required on the note until maturity while interest is accrued. In addition, warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.12 per share expiring on May 1, 2021 were issued associated with the note and were recorded as a debt discount of $38,249 with a second quarter amortization of $3,586. The notes hold a security guarantee of a 50% working interest in the Utikuma oil field and a 100% working interest in the TLSAU field.

	(i)	Balances are non-interest bearing and due on demand.

	(ii)	On February 9, 2018, the Company entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (“LOC”) for $200,000 (subsequently increased to $500,000 on April 12, 2018) with Jovian Petroleum Corporation (“Jovian”). The CEO of Jovian is Quinten Beasley, our former director (resigned October 31, 2018), and 25% of Jovian is owned by Zel C. Khan, our CEO and director. The initial agreement was for a period of 6 months and it can be extended for up to 5 additional terms of 6 months each. All amounts advanced pursuant to the LOC will bear interest from the date of advance until paid in full at 3.5% simple interest per annum. Interest will be calculated on a basis of a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed. Subsequent to period-end this LOC has been extended until December 31, 2020.

	(iii)	On August 17, 2018, the Company sold an aggregate of $90,000 in convertible promissory notes (the “Director Convertible Notes”), to the Company’s directors, Ivar Siem ($20,000) through an entity that he is affiliated with; Leo Womack ($60,000); and Joel Oppenheim ($10,000). The Director Convertible Notes accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum until paid in full and were due and payable on October 17, 2018. The amount owed may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The outstanding principal and interest owed under the Director Convertible Notes are convertible into common stock of the Company, from time to time, at the option of the holders of the notes, at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. As additional consideration for entering into the notes, the Company agreed to grant warrants to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share for each dollar loaned pursuant to the Director Convertible Notes (the “Bridge Note Warrants”). The warrants had a contractual life of one year. As such, the Company granted (a) 20,000 Bridge Note Warrants to an entity affiliated with Ivar Siem; (b) 60,000 Bridge Note Warrants to Leo Womack; and (c) 10,000 Bridge Note Warrants to Joel Oppenheim. The Director Convertible Notes contain standard and customary events of default. The Company fair valued the warrants issued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for a total fair value of $6,249. On October 22, 2018, $60,000 in Director Convertible Notes were settled by offsetting against $60,000 proceeds required for the exercise of warrants.

	(iv)	On June 8, 2018, the Company entered into a promissory note (an “Acquisition Note”) with Blue Sky in the amount of CAD$406,181.

The Company may, at its sole discretion, extend the maturity date for a period of six months with notice to the lender and payment of 25% of the principal amount. At December 31, 2018, the maturity date had been extended to May 31, 2019. On April 1, 2019, the Company utilized its LOC with Jovian to pay off in its entirety the June 8, 2018 Acquisition Note with Blue Sky.

7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

On May 18, 2018, as an inducement to enter into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, the Company issued, among other instruments, warrants to acquire 320,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.10 per share in Canadian dollars (see Note 5). The warrants are valued using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model and the derivative is fair valued at the end of each reporting period. The Company valued the derivative liability at initial recognition as $30,012.

June 30, 2019	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Derivative liabilities		—		—		19,249		19,249

8. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company has a number of oil and gas wells in production and will have Asset Retirement Obligations (“AROs”) once the wells are permanently removed from service. The primary obligations involve the removal and disposal of surface equipment, plugging and abandoning the wells and site restoration.

AROs associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets are recognized as liabilities with an increase to the carrying amounts of the related long-lived assets in the period incurred. The fair value of AROs is recognized as of the acquisition date of the working interest. The cost of the tangible asset, including the asset retirement cost, is depleted over the life of the asset. AROs are recorded at estimated fair value, measured by reference to the expected future cash outflows required to satisfy the retirement obligations discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liabilities are accreted to their expected settlement value. If estimated future costs of AROs change, an adjustment is recorded to both the ARO and the long-lived asset. Revisions to estimated AROs can result from changes in retirement cost estimates, revisions to estimated discount rates and changes in the estimated timing of abandonment.

The Company’s ARO is measured using primarily Level 3 inputs. The significant unobservable inputs to this fair value measurement include estimates of plugging costs, remediation costs, inflation rate and well life. The inputs are calculated based on historical data as well as current estimated costs. For the Canadian properties, abandonment and reclamation liabilities are prescribed by the province in which the Company operates in. For the purpose of determining the fair value of AROs incurred during the years presented, the Company used the following assumptions:

	June 30, 2019
Inflation rate	1.92 - 2.15	%
Estimated asset life	15 - 21 years

The following table shows the change in the Company’s ARO liability:

	Canadian properties			United States properties			Total

9. EQUITY

Preferred stock

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate of 9% per annum. The Preferred Stock will automatically convert into common stock when the Company’s common stock market price equals or exceeds $0.28 per share for 30 consecutive days. At conversion, the value of each dollar of preferred stock (based on a $10 per share price) will convert into 7.1429 common shares (which results in a $0.14 per common share conversion rate).

In accordance with the terms of the Preferred Stock, cumulative dividends of $88,859 were declared for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

12. REVISION OF PRIOR PERIOD INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

While preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2018, Management identified that it had made an incorrect judgment in accounting for the acquisition of Bow on February 27, 2018. Accordingly, the Company has revised the comparative figures for three months ended June 30, 2018 to reflect this revision. The revision had no impact on the financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2018.

In accordance with the guidance provided by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 99, Materiality and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”, the Company has determined that the impact of adjustments relating to the correction of this accounting error was derived from a judgment, has no impact on compliance with regulatory requirements or loan covenants and has no impact on the Company’s cash flows. Accordingly, these changes are disclosed herein and have been disclosed prospectively.

The impact of the revision for the three months ended June 30, 2018 is summarized below:

All of the transactions/events mentioned below occurred subsequent to June 30, 2019.

The Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) for the sale of the same NOACK property with Flowtex Energy LLC. (“FT”), which was reclaimed after the default by HE (see Note 4). The purchaser agreed to pay $400,000 for the NOACK Assets including a $20,000 deposit that was received on August 15, 2019 and the remaining balance of $380,000 to be received by September 30, 2019. By December 31, 2019, FT had made cumulative payments of $375,000, resulting in a $25,000 account receivable to the Company at December 31, 2019 which is included in other current assets. The $400,000 was recorded as a gain on sale of properties.

A Company director Joel Martin Oppenheim exercised warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $15,000 at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. These shares were not issued until January 2020.

A Company director Joel Martin Oppenheim exercised warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock. Consideration for the exercise price of $1,000 or $0.10 per share was satisfied by forgiving a bridge loan debt outstanding to the holder of $10,000, with no gain or loss recognized. Since the consideration provided was due to a conversion of debt, the debt balance was transferred to the additional paid in capital account. These shares were not issued until January 2020.

Effective July 13, 2020, Richard Dole, Joel Oppenheim and Saleem Nizami resigned as Directors on the Board. This reduced the size of the Board from seven to four members, which is helping to streamline the Company.

On May 29, 2020, Petrolia Energy Corporation acquired a 50% working interest in approximately 28,000 acres located in the Utikuma Lake area in Alberta, Canada. The property is an oil-weighted asset currently producing approximately 500 bopd of low decline light oil. The working interest was acquired from Blue Sky Resources Ltd. in an affiliated party transaction as Zel C. Khan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, is related to the ownership of Blue Sky. Blue Sky acquired a 100% working interest in the Canadian Property from Vermilion Energy Inc. via Vermilion’s subsidiary Vermilion Resources. The effective date of the acquisition was May 1, 2020.

On September 1, 2020, the Board of Directors approved a contractual Employment Agreement between the Company and Mark Allen to appoint him as the new President of the Company. Mr. Allen’s contract term is 6 months, with a cash payment of $90,000 in equal monthly installments of $15,000, including an option to extend. In addition, Mr. Allen is due to receive incentive compensation of 2,000,000 shares of common stock (1,000,000 were issued at signing and the remining shares are yet to be issued). He also is to receive 1,000,000 warrants at $0.08 per share that expire in 36 months and vest over a two-year period. Mr. Allen has been in the oil and gas industry for over 25 years, most recently as Vice President, Oil and Gas Consulting for Wipro Limited, a leading global consulting and information technology services firm. Prior to Wipro Limited, Mr. Allen was Vice President, Exploration and Production Services for SAIC, a Fortune 500 company.

On September 16, 2020, Zel C.Khan resigned as a member of the Board to solely focus on his role as the Chief Executive Officer of Petrolia Energy Corporation.

Company President Mark Allen, was issued 1,650,000 common shares for exercising warrants at $0.05 per share with cash proceeds of $82,500

The Company signed an Executive Salary Payable Agreement with Zel Khan as the Chief Executive Officer. All of Mr. Khan’s previous salary obligation will be satisfied by the issuance of 1,992,272 shares of the Company, within 15 days of the signed agreement.

The Company entered into a promissory note with American Resources for $125,000. The Note bears interest at 10% per annum and is due in full at maturity on June 1, 2020. In addition, 500,000 shares of common stock were granted in association with the note.

Jovian, a related party, purchased 1 unit of the debt private placement with gross proceeds of $12,500. At maturity, the holder has the option to either collect the principal or convert the balance into shares/warrants. The conversion would be for 156,250 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 312,500 shares of common stock at a price of $0.08 per unit. Jovian converted the debt into shares during 2020.

Paul Deputy was reinstated as Interim Chief Financial Officer, signed a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement. In exchange for releasing the Company for any current, outstanding payroll and/or service-related liability at January 29, 2021, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Deputy $50,000, to be paid in $2,500 monthly increments, starting April 1, 2021. In addition, was issued 250,000 shares of Petrolia common stock.

Mark Allen converted $30,000 of unpaid contract wages from early 2020 into 333,333 common shares of common stock at a rate of $0.09 per share.

Mark Allen converted a defaulted secured loan of $270,000 that was due on December 15, 2019. The debt was converted at a rate of $0.05 per share and resulted in the issuance of 5,400,000 shares of common stock and 5,400,000 warrants to purchase common stock. The warrants have a strike price of $0.08 per share and expire in 36 months.

Between July 1, 2019 and May 10, 2021, 1,000,641 shares of common stock were issued for subscriptions to third parties.

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

Background

We were incorporated in Colorado on January 16, 2002. In February 2012, we decided it would be in the best interests of our shareholders to no longer pursue our original business plan (the sale of custom framed artwork, art accessories and interior design consulting) and, in April 2012, we became active in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties.

Effective September 2, 2016, we formally changed our name to Petrolia Energy Corporation, pursuant to the filing of a Statement of Conversion with the Secretary of State of Colorado and a Certificate of Conversion with the Secretary of State of Texas, authorized by the Plan of Conversion which was approved by our stockholders at our April 14, 2016, annual meeting of stockholders, each of which are described in greater detail in the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2016. In addition to the Certificate of Conversion filing, we filed a Certificate of Correction filing with the Secretary of State of Texas (correcting certain errors in our originally filed Certificate of Formation) on August 24, 2016.

As previously reported, although the stockholders approved the Plan of Conversion at the annual meeting, 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”, those filings were not immediately made and the Conversion did not become legally effective until September 2, 2016. Specifically, 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; however, the Statement of Conversion was not filed with the State of Colorado until a later date. As a result, and because FINRA and the Depository Trust Company (DTC) had advised us that they would not recognize the Conversion or name change, or update such related information in the marketplace until we became current in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and they had a chance to review and approve such transactions, we took the position that the Conversion and name change were not legally effective until September 2, 2016.

As a result of the filings described above, and FINRA and the Depository Trust Company (DTC) formally recognizing and reflecting the events described above in the marketplace, the Company has formally converted from a Colorado corporation to a Texas corporation, and has formally changed its name to “Petrolia Energy Corporation”.

Two significant acquisitions were made in 2015 and additional working interests in the same properties were acquired in 2016 and 2017, as described in greater detail in the “Plan of Operation” section below. Additionally, in February 2018, we acquired Bow Energy Ltd. and its assets (“Bow”), provided that in September 2018, we divested Bow, each as described in greater detail in the “Plan of Operation” section below. During 2018, we acquired an aggregate of a 28% working interest in properties consisting of approximately 41,526 acres located in the Luseland, Hearts Hill, and Cuthbert fields, located in Southwest Saskatchewan and Eastern Alberta, Canada, as described in greater detail in the “Plan of Operation” section below.

Plan of Operation

Since 2015, we have established a clearly defined strategy to acquire, enhance and redevelop high-quality, resource in place assets. The Company has been focusing on acquisitions in the Southwest United States and Canada 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.

Slick Unit Dutcher Sands (“SUDS”) Field

The SUDS oilfield consists of 2,604 acres located in Creek County, Oklahoma and Petrolia owns a 100% Working Interest (“WI”) with a 76.5% net revenue interest (NRI). The first oil well 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. Our engineering reports and analysis indicate there is still considerable recoverable reserves remaining.

We have recently completed a capital project to rebuild our field tank battery, consisting of two free water knockout units, four oil stock tanks and one fiberglass saltwater tank. Additionally, we received a new 5-year permit for our disposal well and upgraded our flowlines for most of the field.

Twin Lakes San Andres Unit (“TLSAU”) Field

TLSAU is located 45 miles from Roswell, Chaves County, New Mexico and consists of 3,864 acres with 58 wells. The last independent reserve report prepared by MKM Engineering on December 31, 2019, reflects approximately 752,000 barrels of proven oil reserves remaining for the 100% working interest.

TLSAU is currently shut-in awaiting capital allocation to complete some regulatory plugging requirements and well workovers.

The Company is actively seeking a partnership in developing the San Andres formation at this lease.

Askarii Resources, LLC

Effective February 1, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding interests of Askarii Resources LLC (“Askarii”), a private Texas based oil & gas service company. The Company acquired Askarii by issuing one (1) million restricted shares of common stock. Based on the then market value of the Company’s common stock of $0.05 per share, the aggregate value of the transaction was $50,000.

Askarii, while dormant for the last few years, has a significant history with major oil companies providing services both onshore and offshore- Gulf of Mexico. Using Askarii, the Company plans to engage in the oil field service business. It is also contemplated that Askarii will research various enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies and methods which it can use for the benefit of the Company’s oil fields.

Bow Energy Ltd., a related party

On February 27, 2018, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares in Bow Energy Ltd., which has contracts covering a total land position in Indonesia of 948,029 net acres.

Effective on August 31, 2018, the Company entered into and closed the transactions contemplated by a Share Exchange Agreement with Blue Sky Resources Ltd. (“Blue Sky” and the “Exchange Agreement”) to sell Bow Energy Ltd. while retaining a 20% interest in Bow’s subsidiary, Bow Energy International Holdings Inc. (“BEIH”). The President, Chief Executive Officer and 100% owner of Blue Sky is Ilyas Chaudhary, the father of Zel C. Khan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

In connection with the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the Company cancelled shares of common stock previously held by Blue Sky (and affiliates) and returned such shares to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. The 70,807,417 shares returned to treasury were subsequently cancelled.

Canadian properties – Luseland, Hearts Hill and Cuthbert fields

Effective on June 29, 2018, the Company acquired a 25% working interest in approximately 41,526 acres located in the Luseland, Hearts Hill, and Cuthbert fields, located in Southwest Saskatchewan and Eastern Alberta, Canada (collectively, the “Canadian Properties” and the “Working Interest”). The Canadian Properties currently encompass 64 sections, with 240 oil and 12 natural gas wells currently producing on the properties. Additionally, there are several idle wells with potential for reactivation and 34 sections of undeveloped land (approximately 21,760 acres). The Canadian Properties and the Working Interest were acquired from Blue Sky (a related party, as described above). Blue Sky had previously acquired an 80% working interest from Georox Resources Inc., who had acquired the Canadian Properties from Cona Resources Ltd.

On September 17, 2018, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Blue Sky to obtain the rights to acquire an additional 3% working interest in the Canadian Properties, increasing our Working Interest to 28%. Total consideration paid from the Company to Blue Sky for the additional 3% Working Interest was $150,000.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Our oil and gas revenue reported for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $800,006, an increase of $776,245 from the three months ended June 30, 2018. A total of $757,098 of the increase was attributable to the new operations associated with the Canadian Properties which were acquired after June 30, 2018. Revenues associated with our U.S. properties totaled $42,908.

Our oil and gas revenue reported for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $1,619,344, an increase of $1,565,603 from the six months ended June 30, 2018. A total of $1,553,872 of the increase was attributable to the new operations associated with the Canadian Properties which were acquired after June 30, 2018. Revenues associated with our U.S. properties totaled $65,472.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by $294,543, to $1,600,408 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1,305,865 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Operating expenses increased over the comparative period due to a significant increase of $880,092 in lease operating expenses and a $233,298 increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, both related to the acquisition of the Canadian properties on June 29, 2018. These increases were offset by a decrease of $859,173 in general and administrative from 2018 to 2019. This was primarily due to equity related issuances (stock compensation expense) in connection with Mr. James Burns stepping down as the Company’s President, and the associated Separation Agreement.

Operating expenses decreased by $465,440, to $2,837,705 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, compared to $3,303,145 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Operating expenses decreased over the comparative period due to a significant increase of $1,502,263 in lease operating expenses and a $415,914 increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, both related to the acquisition of the Canadian properties on June 29, 2018. These increases were offset by a decrease of $2,427,262 in general and administrative from 2018 to 2019. This was primarily due to equity related issuances (stock compensation expense) in connection with Mr. James Burns stepping down as the Company’s President, and the associated Separation Agreement.

Other income (expense)

Other expenses decreased by $515,593 to $(226,766) for the three-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to $288,827 for the three-month period ending June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a $260,162 loss related to an extinguishment of debt in the three-month ended June 30, 2018 period. No such expense was incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2019. This was offset by a net gain of $255,000 related to the foreclosure and repossession of the Noack property.

Other expenses decreased by $27,863,384 to $(264,819) for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to $27,598,565 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a $27,129,963 loss related to the disposition of Bow Energy Ltd, also there was a $260,162 loss on extinguishment of debt and 203,349 loss on related party debt settlement of accrued salaries. There were no such “loss” expenses incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2019. These losses were offset by a net gain of $255,000 related to the foreclosure and repossession of the Noack property in June 2019.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $573,637, compared to a net loss of $1,570,931 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The primary reason for the decrease in the 2019 net loss was due to a decrease in stock compensation expense from the prior reporting period and the net gain related to the Noack property in 2019.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $953,542, compared to a net loss of $30,847,969 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The primary reason for the decrease in loss in 2019 compared to 2018 was due to the disposition of Bow Energy Ltd. properties in 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The financial condition of the Company has not changed significantly throughout the period from December 31, 2018, to June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2019, we had total current assets of $104,683 and total assets of $13,145,600. Our total current liabilities as of June 30, 2019 were $2,876,329 and our total liabilities as of June 30, 2019 were $6,044,477. We had negative working capital of $2,771,646 as of June 30, 2019.

Our material asset balances are made up of oil and gas properties and related equipment. Our most significant liabilities are notes payable and notes payable related party of $2,546,093 along with accounts payable and accrued liabilities, including amounts due to related parties, mainly consisting of accrued officer salaries of $996,765, in addition to asset retirement obligations of $1,617,563 (see “Part I – Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 5. Notes Payable”, above for information regarding outstanding debt obligations).

Net cash used in operating activities was $320,593 and $160,786 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of the NOACK properties as well as an increase in accounts receivable.

Net cash used by investing activities was $508,035 and ($3,784) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the funds used to acquire the Canadian Properties.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,029,736 and $398,712 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase was primarily due to new $750,000 notes payable by a third-party. (see “Part I – Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 5. Notes Payable”, above for information regarding outstanding debt obligations). In addition, $30,000 was provided through related party Debt Private Placement purchases.

The Company continues to operate at a negative cash flow of approximately $35,000 per month which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management is pursuing several initiatives to secure funding to increase production at both the SUDS and TLSAUs fields which together with anticipated increases in the price of crude oil may reduce the Company’s monthly cash shortfall. The total amount required by the Company to accomplish this objective is approximately $500,000. The sale of the NOACK field and the addition of the revenue from our 28% ownership of the Canadian Properties has enhanced cashflow and allowed the Company to allocate funds for SUDS and TLSAU development plans. The Company has resumed workover activities at SUDS and expects progress to continue past the first quarter of 2020, funding permitting.

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 working over existing wells and drilling productive oil or gas wells. However, we will need to raise additional funds to workover or 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. Moving forward we may sell certain of our oil and gas properties in an effort to raise funds to support our operations and future planned oil and gas operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources or change our financial condition.

Trends Affecting Future Operations

The factors that will most significantly affect our results of operations will be (i) the sale prices of crude oil and natural gas, (ii) the amount of production from oil or gas wells in which we have an interest, and (iii) lease operating expenses. Our revenues will also be significantly impacted by our ability to maintain or increase oil or gas production through exploration and development activities, and the availability of funding to complete such activities.

It is expected that our principal source of cash flow will be from the production and sale of crude oil and natural gas reserves which are depleting assets. Cash flow from the sale of oil and gas production depends upon the quantity of production and the price obtained for the production. An increase in prices will permit us to finance our operations to a greater extent with internally generated funds, may allow us to obtain equity financing more easily or on better terms, and lessens the difficulty of obtaining financing. However, price increases heighten the competition for oil and gas prospects, increase the costs of exploration and development, and, because of potential price declines, increase the risks associated with the purchase of producing properties during times that prices are at higher levels.

A decline in oil and gas prices (i) will reduce the cash flow internally generated by the Company which in turn will reduce the funds available for exploring for and replacing oil and gas reserves, (ii) will increase the difficulty of obtaining equity and debt financing and worsen the terms on which such financing may be obtained, (iii) will reduce the number of oil and gas prospects which have reasonable economic terms, (iv) may cause us to permit leases to expire based upon the value of potential oil and gas reserves in relation to the costs of exploration, (v) may result in marginally productive oil and gas wells being abandoned as non-commercial, and (vi) may increase the difficulty of obtaining financing. However, price declines reduce the competition for oil and gas properties and correspondingly reduce the prices paid for leases and prospects. During the last 5 months, oil prices have trended upward to approximately $58.00 per barrel.

Other than the foregoing, we do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that will have, or are reasonably expected to have, a material impact on our sales, revenues or expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the financial statements included in the 2018 Annual Report for a description of our critical accounting policies. See Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of the impact of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and the potential impact of the adoption of any new accounting pronouncements.

Going concern – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses since its inception and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future sales of common stock and other securities is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

Item 4 Controls and Procedures

(a) We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of June 30, 2019, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Such disclosure controls and procedures were deemed ineffective due to material weaknesses in connection with disclosure and related issues associated with related party transactions involving the Company and its officers and directors, and recording, presentation and disclosure issues associated with acquisition transactions.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 Legal Proceedings

We may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceeding. In addition, we are not aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings against us, or contemplated to be brought against us.

Item 1A Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Commission on October 15, 2019, under the heading “Risk Factors”, except as set forth below and investors should review the risks provided in the Form 10-K and below, prior to making an investment in the Company. The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, under “Risk Factors” and below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. 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.

We are currently behind in our SEC filing obligations.

This filing is being filed well past the due date of such filing with the SEC. Additionally, as of the date of this filing, we are deficient in filing our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019. While we hope to be in a position to file such reports in the near future, we may be unable to timely file such reports and may fail to timely further reports in the future. Shareholders may have less information to determine the value of our common stock if we fail to timely make filings with the SEC and/or fail to make such filings with the SEC. Our securities may be trading higher, or lower, than they would be if current information regarding our financial condition and results of operations was publicly available.

Debts owed to us may not be timely paid, if at all.

On April 3, 2019, the Company foreclosed on its promissory note receivable for the sale of the NOACK field, which was secured by lien under the note. On August 6, 2019, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) for the sale of the 83% leasehold net revenue interest and 100% working interest in the NOACK Field Assets, i.e., the Company’s leasehold in the Noack Farms, Minera Lease and all related leases and assets located in Milam County, Texas (the “NOACK Assets”). The Sale Agreement includes customary indemnification obligations of the parties. The purchaser agreed to pay $400,000 for the NOACK Assets with a $20,000 deposit received on August 15, 2019 and the entire balance of $355,000 to be received by September 30, 2019 (of which $155,000 was received on August 30, 2019 and the balance of $25,000 still remains outstanding at the reporting date) with a final payment of $25,000 to be received on August 30, 2020. We may not receive the $25,000 owed to us pursuant to the agreement described above, which may have an adverse effect on our operations, cash flow and the value of our securities.
