PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Corporate History
Our Business
We are focused on the development, exploration and production of oil and gas in North America. Our primary focus is on oil and gas properties with proven undeveloped reserves that are economically attractive but are underserved by major independent oil and gas companies.
Garcia #3 Well
On May 23, 2012, we acquired a ten percent working interest, seven point five percent net revenue interest, from a third party interest holder of the Garcia #3 well (10.0 % WI, 7.5% NRI). For our interest, we paid $300,000 in convertible preferred shares with a conversion rate of .01 per share.
We are subject to the terms and conditions of the operating agreement established by the operator for the Garcia#3 well, Kidd Production Inc., the property developer, Progas Energy Services and the third party vendor we acquired our 10% interest from.
In August of 2012 Scorpion Rig #1 was moved onto the Garcia #3 location. The rig drilled to a total depth of 3750 feet with oil shows in the Frio Sands. Pipe was cemented in placed and the drilling rig was released. In October aworkover unit was moved in to test the target zones. The lower zones were tested and found to contain natural gas with water produced from the zone. The decision was made to move up the well and test an oil bearing zone. This zone was determined to be tight and requiring a frac job to accurately determine the potential production of this zone. The Company was not in agreement with Progas regarding the value of a frac job on this zone and we are waiting on information back from Progas regarding thefrac job and any results.Progas continues to be challenging to work with.
Due to our minority interest in the Garcia#3 well, we are reviewing operational alternatives to resolve our inability to control the development of this well and the field in general for any future drilling activities. The Company continues to evaluate leases available in the same area as the Premont Field, which may be available for the Company to lease directly from the mineral rights owners.
Joaquin Basin Resources, Inc.
Effective January 20, 2011, we entered into a Shared Exchange Agreement with Joaquin Basin Resources Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its stockholders (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement, we agreed to issue to Joaquin Basin shareholders (i) 62,000,000 shares of our common stock and (ii) 2,076,324 shares of our convertible preferred stock, in exchange for the transfer and delivery to us of their 62,000,000 shares of common stock in Joaquin Basin, which represents all of the issued and outstanding shares in Joaquin Basin. As result of the transaction, Joaquin Basin became our wholly owned subsidiary.
On November 21, 2011, Joaquin Basin entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its original Asset Transfer Agreement with Xploration, Inc., a Nevada corporation. Pursuant to the Asset Transfer Agreement, Xploration assigned Joaquin Basin a 50% working interest (37.5% net revenue interest) in mineral leases of approximately 4,000 acres in the Kreyenhagen Trend and Joaquin Basin assumed all of the liabilities associated with the leases.
4
Pursuant to the Amendment, in consideration for a reduction in working interest from 50% to 20% and in consideration for a reduction in net revenue interest from 37.5% to 14%, Xploration will do the following as increased compensation to Joaquin:
The total expenses that Xploration paid on behalf of Joaquin associated with the mineral leaseswillexceed $1,100,000. Joaquin will get a full carry on the first well drilled.
The following is a list of the expenses Xplorationpaid and to be paid on behalf of Joaquin:
1.
All GG&A, in excess of $300,000 was paid, as determined by Xploration of the leases for the period October 1, 2012 through March 31, 2013.
2.
All lease rentals, were paid in the amount of $284,000, due for the period October 1, 2011 through March 31, 2013.
3.
Pay all expenses through completion of the first well planned to be on a lease preselected by the geological team (but at Xploration’s election to be drilled on any of the leases), the cost of which is estimated to be in excess of $500,000 (“First Farmin Well”), such well anticipated to be commenced during the period in the last quarter of 2013.
4.
In the event Xploration has not commenced drilling the First Farmin Well within the timeframe as referenced in 3 above, then the time period within which Xploration may drill the First Farmin well may be further extended for an additional twelve month period ending September 30, 2013.
As mentioned above, we issued 2,076,000 shares of convertible preferred stock in concluding the Joaquin Basin purchase agreement. The cost of the issue, $4,152,000, was based on the value of preferred stock as if converted to common stock. $4,152,000 was added to the cost of the Joaquin property, including liabilities assumed in the November 21, 2011 agreement with Xploration Inc.
On March 1, 2011, Joaquin Basin entered into an Operating Agreement with Solimar Energy, LLC (“Solimar”) to explore and develop the 4,000 leased acres covering extensions of the Coalinga California oil and gas field in California. The acreage is labeled as the Kreyenhagen Trend acreage is on the nose of a Coalinga anticline.
In recent months, Solimar Energy as operator has been active on the Kreyenhagen Trend Prospect. Six wells have been submitted to the State of California for permitting. The permits are still under review by the State of California.
Bawden 1-24 - The well that we have a Carried Interest or Farm-in well where we will not have any expenses and we are carried 100%. Target Zone: Temblor Test
Vintage 1-17 - Temblor Test
Vintage 1-21 - Temblor Test
Den Hartog A-1 - Avenal Test

Den Hartog A-3 - Avenal Test
Each Drilling permit requires a Blunt Nose Lizard "study" to be conducted once in the spring and once again in the fall. After the study is finalized the drilling permits can be issued and the drilling process is expected to start. Plans to spud three exploratory wells sometime in 2013-2014. The Blunt Nose Lizard studies are still underway and upon completion the State of California will finalize the review of the proposed drilling permits.
5
The Geological study was conducted on only the KreyenhagenRanch.Solimar Energy has chosen not to share any of the information generated by the survey done on the Ranch. As we are not the operator in the Kreyenhagen Trend acreage the Company is dependent on Solimar Energy as it relates to activity in the Trend acreage. Currently it seems that Solimar is focused on the Ranch properties and not the Trend. Company management is keeping communication open with Solimar in an attempt to have their focus to expand and include the Trend acreage development.
SE Jonah Prospect
The Companies working interest in the remaining SE Jonah Prospect leases was allowed to expire as the Company’s evaluation of the potential investment was conclusive in the following; the large dollars required to develop this field remained far greater than the possible revenue to be generated over an acceptable time frame. Primarily, based on the low selling price of natural gas, which is lower than the overall cost of production, and the lack of an infrastructure to allow full production of natural gas from an existing well. The time frame to develop the required infrastructure is based on the natural gas production to warrant a transportation company committing the funding to build it. Along with a low selling price for the product signifies that the money will not be spent to drill due to the lack of transportation and the transportation will not happed due to the lack of drilling.
Competition and Marketing
We will be faced with strong competition from many other companies and individuals engaged in the oil and gas business, many are very large, well-established energy companies with substantial capabilities and established earnings records. We may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring oil and gas prospects since we must compete with these individuals and companies, many of which have greater financial resources and larger technical staffs. It is nearly impossible to estimate the number of competitors; however, it is known that there are a large number of companies and individuals in the oil and gas business.
Exploration for and production of oil and gas are affected by the availability of pipe, casing and other tubular goods and certain other oil field equipment including drilling rigs and tools. We expect we will depend upon independent drilling contractors to furnish rigs, equipment and tools to drill wells. Higher prices for oil and gas may result in competition among operators for drilling equipment, tubular goods and drilling crews, which may affect our ability expeditiously to drill, complete, recomplete and work-over wells.
The market for oil and gas is dependent upon a number of factors beyond our control, which at times cannot be accurately predicted. These factors include the proximity of wells to, and the capacity of, natural gas pipelines, the extent of competitive domestic production and imports of oil and gas, the availability of other sources of energy, fluctuations in seasonal supply and demand, and governmental regulation. In addition, there is always the possibility that new legislation may be enacted, which would impose price controls or additional excise taxes upon crude oil or natural gas, or both. Oversupplies of natural gas can be expected to recur from time to time and may result in the gas producing wells being shut-in. Imports of natural gas may adversely affect the market for domestic natural gas.
The market price for crude oil is significantly affected by policies adopted by the member nations of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC"). Members of OPEC establish prices and production quotas among themselves for petroleum products from time to time with the intent of controlling the current global supply and consequently price levels. We are unable to predict the effect, if any, that OPEC or other countries will have on the amount of, or the prices received for, crude oil and natural gas.
Gas prices, which were once effectively determined by government regulations, are now largely influenced by competition. Competitors in this market include producers, gas pipelines and their affiliated marketing companies, independent marketers, and providers of alternate energy supplies, such as residual fuel oil. Changes in government regulations relating to the production, transportation and marketing of natural gas have also resulted in significant changes in the historical marketing patterns of the industry. Generally, these changes have resulted in the abandonment by many pipelines of long-term contracts for the purchase of natural gas, the development by gas producers of their own marketing programs to take advantage of new regulations requiring pipelines to transport gas for regulated fees, and an increasing tendency to rely on short-term contracts priced at spot market prices.
6
Existing and Probable Governmental Regulation
We intend to monitor and comply with current government regulations that affect our activities, although our operations may be adversely affected by changes in government policy, regulations or taxation. There can be no assurance we will be able to obtain all of the necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out our exploration and development programs. It is not expected any of these controls or regulations will affect our operations in a manner materially different than they would affect other natural gas and oil companies operating in the areas in which we operate.
Government Regulation
The United States federal government and various state and local governments have adopted laws and regulations regarding the protection of human health and the environment. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit by operators before drilling commences, prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness areas, wetlands, or where pollution might cause serious harm, and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from drilling operations, particularly with respect to operations in onshore and offshore waters or on submerged lands. These laws and regulations may increase the costs of drilling and operating wells. Because these laws and regulations change frequently, the costs of compliance with existing and future environmental regulations cannot be predicted with certainty.
The transportation and certain sales of natural gas in interstate commerce are heavily regulated by agencies of the federal government. Production of any oil and gas by properties in which we have an interest will be affected to some degree by state regulations. States have statutory provisions regulating the production and sale of oil and gas, including provisions regarding deliverability. Such statutes and the regulations are generally intended to prevent waste of oil and gas and to protect correlative rights to produce oil and gas between owners of a common reservoir.
State regulatory authorities may also regulate the amount of oil and gas produced by assigning allowable rates of production to each well or pro-ration unit.
Any exploration or production on Federal land will have to comply with the Federal Land Management Planning Act, which has the effect generally of protecting the environment. Any exploration or production on private property whether owned or leased will have to comply with the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act. The cost of complying with environmental concerns under any of these acts varies on a case by case basis. In many instances the cost can be prohibitive to development. Environmental costs associated with a particular project must be factored into the overall cost evaluation of whether to proceed with the project.
Environmental Regulation
Oil and natural gas exploration, development and production operations are subject to stringent laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Numerous governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, issue regulations, which often require difficult and costly compliance measures that carry substantial administrative, civil and criminal penalties and may result in injunctive obligations for failure to comply. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit before drilling commences, restrict the types, quantities and concentrations of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling and production activities, limit or prohibit construction or drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, ecologically sensitive and other protected areas, require action to prevent or remediate pollution from current or former operations, such as plugging abandoned wells or closing pits, and impose substantial liabilities for pollution. The strict liability nature of such laws and regulations could impose liability upon us regardless of fault. Changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent and costly pollution control or waste handling, storage, transport, disposal or cleanup requirements could materially adversely affect our operations and financial position, as well as the oil and natural gas industry in general.
7
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, also known as CERCLA or the “Superfund” law, generally imposes joint and several liability, without regard to fault or legality of conduct, on classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the current owner or operator of a contaminated facility, a former owner or operator of the facility at the time of contamination and those persons that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substance. Under CERCLA and comparable state statutes, such persons may be subject to strict joint and several liabilities for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. In addition, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. Governmental agencies or third parties may seek to hold us responsible under CERCLA and comparable state statutes for all or part of the costs to clean up sites at which such “hazardous substances” have been released.
We did not incur any costs in connection with the compliance with any federal, state, or local environmental laws. However, costs could occur at any time through industrial accident or in connection with a terrorist act or a new project. Costs could extend into the millions of dollars for which we could be totally liable. In the event of liability, we believe we would be entitled to contribution from other owners so that our percentage share of a particular project would be the percentage share of our liability on that project. However, other owners may not be willing or able to share in the cost of the liability. Even if liability were limited to our percentage share, any significant liability would wipe out our assets and resources

Impact of Inflation
We believe that the rate of inflation has had a negligible effect on our operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. Since its inception, the Company has been funded by related parties through capital investment and borrowing funds.
As of March 31, 2013, total current assets were $573, which consisted of cash.
As of March 31, 2013, total current liabilities were $1,552,432, which consisted primarily of accounts payable and accrued expenses and convertible debentures. We had negative net working capital of $(1,551,859) as of March 31, 2013.
During the period from March 31, 2009 (Inception of Exploration Stage) through March 31, 2013, operating activities used cash of $(2,081,553). The cash used by operating activities related to general and administrative expenses, the purchase of inventory for resale and non-cash items related to derivative instruments. Except for cash in the amount of $nil from sales of our products, all of the cash during this period was provided by related party transactions, capital contributions and convertible debentures.
Intangible Assets
The Company’s intangible assets were $nil as of March 31, 2013.
Material Commitments
The Company’s material commitments were $nil as of March 31, 2013.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.
13
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Contractual Obligations

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Grid Petroleum Corporation(anexplorationstage company)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Grid Petroleum Corporation (anexplorationstage company), as of March 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations, change in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended; and for the period from March31, 2009(Inception) through March 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2012, were audited by other auditors, whose report dated June 25, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and also included an explanatory paragraph that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Grid Petroleum Corporation as of March 31, 2013, and the results of theiroperations and theircash flows for the year then ended; and for the period from March 31, 2009(Inception) through March 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated revenues since inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Grid Petroleum Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of Business
Grid Petroleum Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada with the name Sunberta Resources Inc. on November 15, 2006. The Company moved through the exploration stage and the development stage and is currently in the exploration stage once more. Its principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral claims and oil & gas properties.
On November 16, 2006 the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Sunberta Resources Inc. (“Sunberta Alberta”) an inactive corporation incorporated in the province of Alberta, Canada on September 19, 2006. The consideration for the acquisition of Sunberta Alberta was 2,000 shares (on a post-split basis) of the Company.
In January, 2007 Sunberta Alberta acquired seven placer claim tenures on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. During the year ended March 31, 2009 the Company abandoned three of the placer claim tenures and decided to abandon the remaining four properties. Between May 31, 2009 and June 14, 2009, the remaining four placer claim tenures expired. The carrying cost of the properties was written off and the operations associated with the properties were treated in the financial statements as discontinued operations in the year ended March 31, 2009. The Company entered the development stage on March 31, 2009 to seek other opportunities. See also note 2.
On November 18, 2009 the Company changed its name to Grid Petroleum Corp.
The Company’s activities to December 31, 2009 were carried on in Alberta and British Columbia, Canada. In February, 2010 operations were carried on in England. In mid-2010 the Company began to focus on its mineral properties in the United States, and activities of the Company thenceforth were controlled from the United States.
On May 14, 2010, the Company acquired from the CEO for nominal consideration all the issued shares of Grid Petroleum Ltd. (“Grid UK”), a company incorporated in January 27, 2010 under the laws of England. The purpose of Grid UK is to maintain bank accounts in the UK as nominee for the Company. Grid UK does not have any assets, liabilities or operations of its own.
On January 20, 2011, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a Nevada corporation, Joaquin Basin Resources Inc.,( “Seller”), and its stockholders, (“Selling Shareholders”). Pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement, the Company issued to the Selling Shareholders (i) 62,000,000 shares of Company common stock and (ii) 2,076,324 shares of convertible preferred stock, in exchange for the transfer and delivery to the Company by the Selling Shareholders of the 62,000,000 shares of common stock issued by the Seller, which were all of the issued and outstanding securities of the Seller. As a result of the related transaction on February 1, 2011, the Seller became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The issue of preferred stock was delayed until February 2012. None of the parties to the Agreement is a related person.
On May 23, 2012, we executed an agreement toacquire a 10% percent working interest, 7.5% net revenue interest, from a third party interest holder of the Garcia #3 well in Jim Wells County, Texas. The Company agreed to purchase the working interest for $300,000, payable in preferred stock which is convertible into 0.001 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of preferred stock. As of this date, the preferred shares have not been issued and accordingly, no accounting recognition has been given in connection with the transaction.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sunberta Alberta, Grid Petroleum Ltd. (“Grid UK”) and Joaquin Basin Resources, Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated.

Grid Petroleum Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As at March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $573and $25,416 in cash respectively. Cash equivalentscomprise certain highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. As at March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
Mineral Properties and Exploration Expenses
Mineral properties purchased are capitalized and carried at cost. Exploration and development cost are charged to operations as incurred until such time that proven or probable ore reserves are discovered. From that time forward, the Company will capitalize all costs to the extent that future cash flow from reserves equals or exceeds the cost deferred. The deferred cost will be amortized using the unit-of-production method when a property reaches commercial production.
Oil and Gas Properties and Exploration Expenses
Oil and gas property acquisition costs are capitalized and carried at cost. Exploration and development costs are accounted for on the successful-efforts method, whereby the costs related to successful projects are capitalized and all costs incurred as a result of unsuccessful projects are expensed when it is determined that the exploration efforts on that property are unsuccessful. The Company will periodically analyze exploration efforts, once exploration on its oil and gas properties has commenced, to determine which projects have been unsuccessful in establishing proved reserves. The costs of unsuccessful projects will be expensed.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically analyzes its long-lived assets for potential impairment, assessing the appropriateness of lives and recoverability of unamortized balances through measurement of undiscounted operating cash flows in accordance with ASC No. 144, Property, Plant and Equipment. If impairment is deemed to exist, it will be written down to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. As at March 31, 2013, the Company does not believe any adjustment for impairment is required.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) No. 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations which requires that the fair value of liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. ASC No. 410 requires a liability to be recorded for the present value of the estimated site restoration costs with a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability will be accreted and the asset will be depreciated over the life of the related assets. Adjustments for changes resulting from the passage of time and changes to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate underlying the obligation will be made. The Company has not incurred any asset retirement obligations as at March 31, 2013.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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.
Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Grid Petroleum Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period after giving retroactive effect to the forward stock split effected on January 14, 2008 (see Note 12.) Diluted earnings (loss) per share is equal to the basic per share for the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011. Common stock equivalents are not included in the loss per sharesince they are anti-dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash, notes payable, and accounts at March 31, 2013 and 2012 reflected in these financial statements approximates their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Income Taxes
The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with FASB ASC No. 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carry-forwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted ASC No. 220, Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income includes net income and all changes in equity during a period that arises from non-owner sources, such as foreign currency items and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in equity securities.
Exploration Stage
The Company entered the exploration stage upon its inception. The Company exited the exploration stage and entered the development stage on March 31, 2009 when the Company’s mineral claims tenures in British Columbia were abandoned and the Company started seeking new business. The Company exited the development stage and entered a new exploration stage on March 31, 2010 after the Company acquired oil and gas properties in Wyoming. In January 2011, the Company acquired oil and gas properties in California and started planning to explore the properties.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it. The Company does not expect the adoption of any other pronouncements to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
2. GOING CONCERN
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
F- 12
Grid Petroleum Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company has experienced substantial losses since its inception and has limited business operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as going concern. The ability of the Company to
meet its commitments as they become payable, including the completion of acquisitions, exploration and development of oil and gas properties and projects, is dependent on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing or achieving a profitable level of operations. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in achieving these goals.
The Company does not have sufficient cash to fund its desired exploration for the next twelve months. The Company has arranged financing as described in Note 7 and intends to draw upon this financing arrangement to fund exploration, production and administration. This financing may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements required to find, develop and exploit oil and reserves to the point of profitable operations. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in finding oil and gas reserves. The Company plans to seek additional financing if necessary in private or public equity offering to secure future funding for operations. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in raising additional funding. If the Company is not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of the Company’s business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all.
These financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to the amounts and classification to assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
The Company has oil and gas properties in California.
On January 20, 2011, the Company purchased, through its subsidiary Joaquin Basin Resources Inc., a 50% working interest (37% net revenue interest) in a mineral lease on 4,000 acres in Kings and Fresno counties in California. The lease was initially recorded at the cost of issuing 62,000,000 common shares.On January 20, 2012, 2,076,000 shares of convertible preferred stock were issued in concluding the Joaquin Basin purchase agreement. The cost of the issue, $4,152,000, was based on the value of preferred stock as if converted to common stock. The total cost, $7,026,666, was supported bya volumetric analysis.
The Company received a reserve report from an independent petroleum geologist as of March 31, 2013, which utilized the following assumptions:20% working interest (14% net revenue) supported by a “P10” factor, a 10% recovery rate, value for oil of $50 per barrel, resulting in an approximate value to the Company of $8,200,000, an amount in excess of the $7,112,000 recorded on the accompanying balance sheets.
On November 21, 2011, a portion of the interest in the lease was swapped for a future “carry” of exploration costs and administration of the lease. Grid’s 50% working interest (37.5% net revenue interest) was reduced to 30% and 14% respectively. The co-lessee, is the obligor under the agreement. Future exploration costs include the operating “carry” costs of the lease and drilling costs of the first well, named “First Farmin Well.” The exploration costs were valued based on the percentage reduction in net revenue interest. A reduction of $4,825,334 in the value of the Joaquin Basin property was recorded.
Impairment of the California properties from their recorded acquisition values was considered at March 31, 2013 and 2012. Management considered that there were no changes in circumstances that would warrant impairment from the estimated values indicated by independently prepared geological reports.
The Company has oil and gas properties in Wyoming which it does not wish to develop and, accordingly, has recorded an impairment in the amount of $85,334 at March 31, 2013.
In connection with an Amendment to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 21, 2011, the Company recorded rights to future exploration costs in the amount of $4,825,334 on its balance sheet as of March 31, 2012. The Company recorded a full impairment as of March 31, 2013.

ITEM 9.CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
Effective on or about February 14, 2013, the Company terminated the services of its principal independent auditor, John Kinross-Kennedy (the “Former Accountant”).
In the Former Accountant’s principal accountant’s report on the Company’s financial statements for its fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion was issued and no opinion of the Former Accountant was modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. Our Former Accountant’s report on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, as reported in the registrant’s Form 10-K that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 2, 2012, contained a paragraph concerning uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements did not include any adjustments that might have resulted from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The change in auditor was recommended, approved and ratified by the Company's Board of Directors.
Since the Company’s inception on May 18, 2005, through its most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, and subsequent interim periods preceding this change of independent auditors, the Company is not aware of any disagreements with the Former Accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
The Company is not aware of any reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(iv) or (v) of Regulation S-K) that have occurred during the two most recent fiscal years and the interim periods preceding the dismissal of the Former Accountant.
The Company has engaged the firm of Anton Chia LLP, (the “New Accountant”), as its new principle independent accountant effective February 14, 2013, to audit our financial records. During the two most recent fiscal years and the interim period preceding the appointment of the New Accountant, we have not consulted the New Accountant regarding either: the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that the Company considered an important factor in reaching a decision as to the accounting or financial reporting issue; or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or event (as defined in Item 304(a)(iv) or (v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to the Former Accountant prior to the date of the filing of the report and requested that the Former Accountant furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements in the Report. A copy of the letter furnished in response to that request was filed with the SEC on February 19, 2013, as part of our Quarterly Report on Form 10Q and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 9A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
This report includes the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2. This Item 9A includes information concerning the controls and control evaluations referred to in those certifications.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and

Grid Petroleum Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2013. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013, using the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
| 1. | We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities. | ||
|
| |||
2. | We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – As of March 31, 2013, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signature on the Company’s bank accounts. Alternatively, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact that the Company had limited transactions in their bank accounts. | |||
| ||||
3. | We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – As at March 31, 2013, the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors. |
Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.
16
Grid Petroleum Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013, that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Continuing Remediation Efforts to address deficiencies in Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Once the Company is engaged in a business of merit and has sufficient personnel available, then our Board of Directors, in particular and in connection with the aforementioned deficiencies, will establish the following remediation measures:
| 1. | Our Board of Directors will nominate an audit committee or a financial expert on our Board of Directors in the next fiscal year. | ||
|
| |||
2. | We will appoint additional personnel to assist with the preparation of the Company’s monthly financial reporting, including preparation of the monthly bank reconciliations. |

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
The Company does not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert (as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K) serving on its Board of Directors. All current members of the Board of Directors lack sufficient financial expertise for overseeing financial reporting responsibilities. The Company has not yet employed an audit committee financial expert on its Board due to the inability to attract such a person.

Grid Petroleum Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company intends to establish an audit committee of the Board of Directors, which will consist of independent directors. The audit committee’s duties will be to recommend to the Company’s Board of Directors the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements and to review the Company’s accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee will review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.
Code of Ethics
Our board of directors has not adopted a code of ethics due to the fact that we presently only have one director and we are in the development stage of our operations. We anticipate that we will adopt a code of ethics when we increase either the number of our directors and officers or the number of our employees.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of change in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to us under Rule 16a-3(e) during the year ended March 31, 2013, Forms 5 and any amendments thereto furnished to us with respect to the year ended March 31, 2013, and the representations made by the reporting persons to us, we believe that during the year ended March 31, 2013, our executive officers and directors and all persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
With regard to any future related party transaction, we plan to fully disclose any and all related party transactions in the following manor:

Disclosing such transactions in reports where required;
·
Disclosing in any and all filings with the SEC, where required;
·
Obtaining disinterested directors consent; and
·
Obtaining shareholder consent where required.
Director Independence
For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The OTCBB on which shares of Common Stock are quoted does not have any director independence requirements. The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Officer” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
According to the NASDAQ definition,Tim DeHerrera is an independent director because he is not also an executive officer of the Company.
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
