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, 2014, 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 – The Company has a non-cancelable lease for its office in Austin, Texas. Rent expense on this lease for the 3 months ended March 31, 2014 totaled $16,543, but was completely offset by payments from the Company’s sublease.    Deferred rent at March 31, 2014 was $6,165.  Future minimum payments on the office lease will be nearly completely offset by payments due from the sublessee. The Company’s lease ends in June of 2015.
