NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization

Business

Foothills Exploration, Inc., (“Company”, “Foothills Exploration”, or “Foothills”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on May 13, 2010, under the name “Key Link Assets Corp.” for the purpose of acquiring a portfolio of heavily discounted real estate properties in the Chicago metropolitan area. The Company changed its focus and planned to acquire small and medium sized grocery stores in non-urban locales that are not directly served by large national supermarket chains.

On May 2, 2016, Foothills Petroleum Inc., a Nevada corporation (“FPI”), acquired over 14.1 million pre-split (56.4 million post-split) shares of the Company’s common stock constituting approximately 96% of our then issued and outstanding shares (“FPI Acquired Shares”). As of May 16, 2016, we effected a 4:1 forward split of our shares of common stock.

On May 27, 2016, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with shareholders of FPI.

Prior to the Share Exchange, the Company had minimal assets and recognized no revenues from operations and was accordingly classified as a shell company. In light of closing the Share Exchange transaction with the shareholders of FPI, the Company became actively engaged in oil and gas operations and is no longer a shell company.

The consolidated balance sheets include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, Foothills Exploration, Inc. (“FTXP”), Foothills Petroleum, Inc. (“FPI”), Foothills Exploration, LLC (“FEL”), Foothills Petroleum Operating, Inc. (“FPOI”), Foothills Exploration Operating, Inc. (“FEOI”), Tiger Energy Partners International, LLC (“TEPI”), Tiger Energy Operating, LLC (“TEO”), and Tiger Energy Mineral Leasing, LLC (“TEML”).

The Company’s oil and gas operations are conducted by its wholly owned indirect subsidiaries. FEL is a qualified oil and gas operator in the states of Wyoming and Colorado, and TEO is a qualified oil and gas operator in the state of Utah.

The Company’s operating entities have historically employed, and will continue in the future to employ, on an as-needed basis, the services of drilling contractors, other drilling related vendors, field service companies and professional petroleum engineers, geologists, and landmen as required in connection with future drilling and production operations.

On May 23, 2019, Foothills Exploration, Inc., through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Foothills Exploration, LLC (the “Company”), entered into a letter agreement for the purchase and sale of oil and gas assets (the “Agreement”) with an unrelated third party (the “Seller”), concerning the acquisition of a total of 87 wells and associated acreage located in Montana (the “Assets”).

The Assets consist of 29 natural gas wells, 10 producing and 19 shut-in, plus associated acreage, additional miscellaneous leases, associated pipelines, gathering systems, compression and processing facilities, and related yards and equipment, located in Sweet Grass and Stillwater counties, Montana – comprising of the Rapelje, Lake Basin and Six Shooter Fields. The Assets also include oil properties consisting of 58 oil and injection wells with associated acreage located in Musselshell and Rosebud Counties, Montana – 12 proved developed producing wells, 25 proved developed non-producing wells, and 21 injection wells – comprising of the Sumatra and Big Wall / Little Wall fields. The oil properties currently generate approximately $1.1 million in annual gross revenues.

Closing of this transaction is subject to the approval of transfer from the Montana Board of Oil and Gas Conservation. Furthermore, no assurances can be made that the Closing will occur based on financing and other market conditions. For further details on this pending acquisition, please refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 30, 2019.

On June 17, 2019, Foothills Exploration, Inc. (the “Company”) received from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware confirmation of the effective filing of the Company’s Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”), increasing the number of shares of Common Stock the Company is authorized to issue from One Hundred Million (100,000,000) to Four Hundred Seventy-Five Million (475,000,000) (the “Increase in Authorized Shares”).

On June 26, 2019, Foothills Exploration, Inc., through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Foothills Exploration, LLC (the “Company”), entered into a letter agreement (the “Agreement”) with an unrelated third party seller (the “Seller”), with respect to a proposed transaction (the “Transaction”) to acquire a total of 12 shut-in wells and approximately 5,769 acres located in Montana (the “Assets”). The Assets consist of four natural gas wells, associated acreage, additional miscellaneous leases, associated pipelines, gathering systems, compression and processing facilities, and related yards and equipment, located in Stillwater and Golden Valley counties, Montana.

The transaction documents contain additional terms and provisions, representations and warranties, including further provisions covering effective time of transfer, venue, and governing law. Closing of this transaction is subject to the approval of transfer from the Montana Board of Oil and Gas Conservation No assurances can be given that the Company will complete the acquisition. For further details on this pending acquisition, please refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 1, 2019.

Going Concern

To address these matters, the Company is actively meeting with investors for possible equity investments, including business combinations; investigating other possible sources to refinance our existing debt; and in continuing discussions with various individuals and groups that could be willing to provide capital to fund operations and growth of the Company.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements include the accounts of Foothills Exploration, Inc., and all of its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries including Foothill Petroleum, Inc., Foothills Petroleum Operating, Inc., Foothills Exploration Operating, Inc., Foothills Exploration LLC, Tiger Energy Partners International, LLC, Tiger Energy Operating, LLC and Tiger Energy Mineral Leasing, LLC. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation and Functional Currency

Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, footnote disclosures and other information normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2019 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are expressed in United States dollars (USD).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s). Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in impairment testing of long-term assets, accruals for potential liabilities and valuing equity instruments issued for services. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts in prior year to conform to the current year presentation. All reclassifications have been applied consistently to the periods presented and had no effects on previously reported results of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with maturity of three months or less.

Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements are recorded in restricted cash in the current assets section of our consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had restricted cash of $120,000 and $120,000, respectively. This amount is being held in escrow for the benefit of the State of Utah for certain properties located in Utah, covered under a certain Modification to Stipulated Order between the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining and TEPI dated August 1, 2014 (Case No. SI/TA-102). These funds held in escrow, will be released to the Company once the Company finishes its reclamation of the various wells in question.

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying amount net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. The carrying amount of the Company’s accounts receivable approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company routinely assesses the collectability of all material trade and other receivables.

Trade accounts receivable comprise receivables from joint interest owners which are recorded when the Company incurs expenses on behalf of the non-operator interest owners of the properties the Company operates.

The Company’s oil and gas revenues receivable comprise receivables from purchasers of the Company’s production of oil and gas and other hydrocarbons and from operators of properties in which the Company has a non-operated interest, as well as from joint interest owners of properties the Company operates. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company accrued $89,902 of net revenue receivable related to GRB Assets. See Note 4 – Property and Equipment. EOG Resources, Inc. (“EOG”), the operator of two wells in which the Company has a 21.62% working interest. The Company has been informed that EOG will apply to unpaid invoices of the Company’s share of costs to drill two wells until EOG has recovered those costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, those costs were $238,244, of which $170,146 were capitalized. See Note 4 – Property and Equipment.

The Company’s reported balance of accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, represents management’s estimate of the amount that ultimately will be realized in cash or used in the future to offset an operator’s joint interest billings.

The Company reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical payment trends, the age of the receivables and knowledge of the individual customers or joint interest owners. When the analysis indicates, management increases or decreases the allowance accordingly. However, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances might be required.

Oil and Gas Properties

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its investments in oil and gas properties. Under the full cost method, all costs associated with the exploration of properties are capitalized into appropriate cost centers within the full cost pool. Internal costs that are capitalized are limited to those costs that can be directly identified with acquisition, exploration, and development activities undertaken and do not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead, or similar activities. Cost centers are established on a country-by-country basis.

Capitalized costs within the cost centers are amortized on the unit-of-production basis using proved oil and gas reserves. The cost of investments in unevaluated properties and major development projects are excluded from capitalized costs to be amortized until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. Until such a determination is made, the properties are assessed annually to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. The costs of drilling exploratory dry holes are included in the amortization base immediately upon determination that the well is dry.

For each cost center, capitalized costs are subject to an annual ceiling test, in which the costs shall not exceed the cost center ceiling. The cost center ceiling is equal to: (i) the present value of estimated future net revenues computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; plus (ii) the cost of properties not being amortized; plus (iii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized; and less (iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties. If unamortized costs capitalized within a cost center, less related deferred income taxes, exceed the cost center ceiling, the excess is charged to expense and separately disclosed during the period in which the excess occurs.

Support Facilities and Equipment

Our support facilities and equipment are generally located in proximity to certain of our principal fields. Depreciation of these support facilities is calculated on a units-of-production basis.

Maintenance and repair costs that do not extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to expense as incurred.

Proved Reserves

Estimates of the Company’s proved reserves included in this report are prepared in accordance with US GAAP and guidelines from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company’s engineering estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves directly impact financial accounting estimates, including depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense and impairment. Proved oil and natural gas reserves are the estimated quantities of oil and natural gas reserves that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under period-end economic and operating conditions. The process of estimating quantities of proved reserves is very complex, requiring significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of all geological, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. The accuracy of a reserves estimate is a function of: (i) the quality and quantity of available data; (ii) the interpretation of that data; (iii) the accuracy of various mandated economic assumptions, and (iv) the judgment of the persons preparing the estimate. The data for a given reservoir may change substantially over time as a result of numerous factors, including additional development activity, evolving production history and continual reassessment of the viability of production under varying economic conditions. Changes in oil and natural gas prices, operating costs, and expected performance from a given reservoir also will result in revisions to the amount of the Company’s estimated proved reserves. The Company engages independent reserve engineers to estimate its proved reserves.

Fixed Assets

The Company capitalizes expenditures related to property and equipment not directly associated with our production of oil and gas, subject to a minimum rule, that have a useful life greater than one year for: (1) assets purchased; (2) existing assets that are replaced, improved or the useful lives have been extended; or (3) all land, regardless of cost, acquisitions of new assets, additions, replacements and improvements (other than land) costing less than the minimum rule in addition to maintenance and repair costs, including any planned major maintenance activities, are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Office equipment – 3 years

Vehicle(s) – 5 years

Land – not depreciated

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company follows the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification ASC 410 - Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations. The fair value of an asset retirement obligation is recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The present value of the estimated asset retirement costs is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The Company’s asset retirement obligations relate to the abandonment of oil and gas producing facilities and facilities that support the production of oil and gas. The amounts recognized are based upon numerous estimates and assumptions, including future retirement costs, future inflation rates and the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. After recording these amounts, the ARO will be accreted to its future estimated value using the same assumed cost of funds, and the capitalized costs are depreciated on a unit-of-production basis. Both the accretion and the depreciation will be included in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense on our consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

●

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

●	Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. This category includes those derivative instruments that the Company values using observable market data. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the term of the derivative instruments, can be derived from observable data, or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

●	Level 3: Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources (i.e. supported by little or no market activity). Level 3 instruments include derivative warrant instruments. The Company does not have sufficient corroborating evidence to support classifying these assets and liabilities as Level 1 or Level 2.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of notes payable and convertible notes approximates their fair values since the current interest rates and terms on these obligations are the same as prevailing market rates.

Certain of the Company’s debt and equity instruments include embedded derivatives that require bifurcation from the host contract under the provisions of ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging. The estimated fair value of the derivative warrant instruments was calculated using a Black Scholes valuation model.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

	Carrying		Fair Value Measurement at
	Value		June 30, 2019

Derivative liabilities, debt and equity instruments		661,320		—		—		661,320

The Company did not identify any other assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the requirements of ASC 606, which directs that it should recognize revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services for an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. All of our revenue is attributable to sales of oil, gas, and other hydrocarbons which are sold daily, with sales aggregated on a monthly basis. In the case of revenue received for a non-operated working interest, we are paid by the operator, which is a joint interest partner and not the purchaser of the product. In the case of revenue received for an operated working interest, we are paid by the marketer to whom we sell the commodities directly pursuant to contractual arrangements.

Debt Issuance Costs, Debt Discount and Detachable Debt-Related Warrants

Costs incurred to issue debt are deferred and recorded as a reduction to the debt balance in our consolidated balance sheets. We amortize debt issuance costs over the expected term of the related debt using the effective interest method. Debt discounts relate to the relative fair value of warrants issued in conjunction with the debt and are also recorded as a reduction to the debt balance and accreted over the expected term of the debt to interest expense using the effective interest method.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company computes earnings per share under ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company’s earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution of securities, if any, that could share in the earnings (loss) of the Company and are calculated by dividing net income by the diluted weighted average number of common shares. The diluted weighted average number of common shares is computed using the treasury stock method for common stock that may be issued for outstanding stock options, warrants, and convertible debt.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, “out of the money” stock options representing 2,050,000 and 2,050,000 shares and warrants representing 2,466,015 and 2,683,515 shares were antidilutive and, therefore, excluded from the diluted share calculation.

(3)	For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, stock payable representing 96,666 and 4,491,111 shares were anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, stock payable representing 96,666 and 4,491,111 shares were anti-dilutive.

(4)	For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, convertible notes representing 220,000 and 0 shares were anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, convertible notes representing 220,000 and 0 shares were anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Stock-Based Compensation

All share-based payments, including grants of stock to employees, directors and consultants, are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based upon their estimated fair values.

The Company accounts for stock, stock options, and stock warrants issued for services and compensation by employees under the fair value method. For non-employees, the fair market value of the Company’s stock is measured on the date of stock issuance or the date an option/warrant is granted as appropriate under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. The Company determined the fair market value of the warrants/options issued under the Black-Scholes Pricing Model. Under the provisions ASC 718, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows ASC Topic 505. As such, the value of the applicable stock-based compensation is periodically re-measured and income or expense is recognized during their vesting terms. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is primarily recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance with FASB guidance, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2016-18 (Topic 230) Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this update require that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Current GAAP does not include specific guidance on the cash flow classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and is required to be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company implemented this guidance effective January 1, 2018. Implementing this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s statement of cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). The standard clarifies the definition of a business by adding guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Under ASU 2017-01, to be considered a business, the assets in the transaction need to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Prior to the adoption of the new guidance, an acquisition or disposition would be considered a business if there were inputs, as well as processes that when applied to those inputs had the ability to create outputs. Early adoption is permitted for certain transactions. Adoption of ASU 2017-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation and may require the services of valuation experts. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not carry any Goodwill on its Consolidated Balance Sheets and does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-11, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features (“ASU 2017-11”). When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. ASU 2017-11 is effective for annual or interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted ASU 2017-11 on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued “ASU 2018-07 - Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. The amendments in this update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2019 the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” which superseded previous lease guidance ASC 840, Leases. Topic 842 is a new lease model that requires a company to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated income statement or consolidated cash flow statement.

The Company adopted the package of practical expedients and transition provisions available for expired or existing contracts, which allowed the Company carryforward its historical assessments of 1) whether contracts are or contain leases, 2) lease classification and 3) initial direct costs. Additionally, for real estate leases, the Company adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of leases as a single lease component. The Company also elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. Further, the Company elected the short-term lease exception policy, permitting it exclude the recognition requirements for leases with terms of 12 months or less. See Note 11 for additional information about leases.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

●

In 2017, the Company acquired a 21.62% non-operated working interest with a 17.1% net revenue interest in two exploratory horizontal gas wells in the Uinta Basin from an undisclosed party, and the Company incurred $1,479,282 in well costs. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the company incurred an additional $1,868,370 of well costs. At December 31, 2018, the Company’s share total costs for drilling and completing the two wells was $3,347,776. Although these wells produced economic quantities of natural gas liquids and residue gas through December 31, 2017, well completion activities were completed during the year ended December 31, 2018, so costs were reclassed from construction-in-progress to proved properties subject to depletion through December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, we recorded impairment expense of $1,521,776 for the amount exceeding the ceiling test limitation. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the company capitalized additional costs of $170,146.

●	In 2017, the Company drilled a test well on the Labokay prospect to the total measured depth of 8,795 feet, where hydrocarbons shows were not in commercial quantities to warrant completion. This well was plugged and abandoned. Since the well was not commercially viable the Company’s working interest in the underlying mineral lease terminated and we no longer have a right to acquire title to said property. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we incurred costs of $1,209,675 in the drilling of this well and $1,352,982 was charged to impairment expense. Civil lawsuits were filed against FPOI arising from unpaid accounts in connection with drilling of this well – see Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies for additional information on the lawsuits.

●	In 2017, the Company worked over two Duck Creek wells obtaining production from the Green River formation. We incurred $79,989 in capitalized workover costs associated with these wells. The wells require additional workover and were shut-in in July 2017. The Company recorded asset retirement costs of $291,659 related to Duck Creek wells. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we incurred $8,821 in capitalized workover costs associated with these wells. As of December 31, 2018, due to the Duck Creek wells subsequently becoming subject to a Sherriff’s sale stemming from a legal matter with our indirect subsidiary, the Duck Creek wells should be impaired to the extent of total intangible costs, which were capitalized for these properties during 2017 and 2018. Accordingly, the impairment expense for the period ending December 31, 2018 is $88,810. We did not incur any cost during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

●	In 2017, the Company incurred costs of $22,691 for bonding, legal, title, engineering, geological and surveying in our Ladysmith project in Fremont County, Wyoming.

●	In 2017, the Company incurred costs of $3,750 related to Springs Project. The Company allowed the BLM leases for the Springs project to expire without paying additional delay rental payments. The primary terms on these leases were due to expire in Q4 2018 and in the view of management it was not in the best interest of the Company to continue exploratory efforts on this speculative play. Management concluded that Company resources would be better redirected to continue seeking lower-risk acquisitions of producing oil and gas properties rather than take additional wildcat drilling risk on this prospect. The Company currently no longer owns the mineral rights for this project. As the result, the Company recognized impairment of oil and gas property in amount of $154,787, during the year ended December 31, 2017. During the year ended 31, 2018, the Company has decided to allow Ladysmith leases to expire without making further delay rental payments to the BLM, as the result we recorded impairment expense of $78,469.

●	In 2017, the Company incurred costs of $100,191 for exploration and development efforts associated with the proved oil and gas assets in Utah, which were acquired on December 30, 2016, from Total Belief Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of New Times Energy Corporation Limited. These assets include certain oil and gas wells throughout the Uinta Basin in Utah on acreage with over 30 proved undeveloped drilling locations, additional non- operating interest in other leases, and access to approximately 6,000 acres in the Uinta Basin with proven and probable reserves and existing infrastructure in place. In connection with the TBL acquisition, Foothills entered into a promissory note in the amount of $6,000,000. This note bears no interest during its term. The Company recorded ($342,804) of imputed interest as debt discount. Starting from July 1, 2018 the note bears 10% annual interest. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we incurred cost of $20,000 exploration and development efforts associated with these properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred costs of $24,722 exploration and development efforts associated with these properties.

●	In 2017, the Company incurred costs of $379,498 for exploration and development efforts associated with numerous unproved oil and gas properties in the Company’s geographic areas of interest, including farmout properties (Paw Paw and Ironwood) and numerous others that were being evaluated and considered for a prospective acquisition and/or farmout by the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we incurred cost of $312 exploration and development efforts associated with these properties. As of December 31, 2018, the Company determined it is unlikely that it will be able to obtain enough production from this test well at the present time to warrant continued development. As the result we recorded $778,034 impairment expense of Pawpaw during the year ended December 31, 2018.

●	On March 6, 2019, the Company, through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Foothills Exploration, LLC, closed on the acquisition of 22 natural gas wells and approximately 18,214 gross acres (14,584 core), 78% held by production, located in the Greater Green River Basin in Wyoming (the “GRB Assets”). Some of the underlying leases come with certain depth restrictions and roughly 80% of the acreage remains undeveloped.

Effective August 9, 2017, Foothills borrowed $1,050,000 from Profit Well Limited, a Hong Kong limited liability company. The Company executed a Bridge Note with an annual percentage interest rate of 13.5% and a maturity date of September 8, 2017. Proceeds of this Bridge Note were primarily used to repay Full Wealth for the debenture dated June 1, 2017. On November 3, 2017, Profit Well Limited agreed to defer repayment of this note to a later date and acknowledged that the Company is not in default regarding this Debenture. Profit Well Limited also reaffirmed its belief that the Company will either extend or repay the obligation to the satisfaction of Profit Well. As partial consideration for the deferment, the Company agreed to issue Profit Well Limited 100,000 shares of its restricted common stock, valued at $48,000. The issuance of the shares in exchange for the maturity extension was treated as a modification of existing debt pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”). On February 28, 2018, Profit Well and the Company agreed to extend the maturity date of the debenture to June 30, 2018, and as consideration for the extension, the Company agreed to compensate Profit Well with 200,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $46,700. The issuance of the shares in exchange for the maturity extension was treated as a modification of existing debt pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”). In addition, the parties agreed that if payment of said principal and interest due and payable is made late, then a penalty payment of $100,000 shall become due and payable to Profit Well by the Company. On June 30, 2018, we recorded $100,000 penalty as additional interest payable. The penalty payment was treated as a modification of existing debt pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”). On July 29, 2018, Profit Well Limited agreed to defer repayment of this note to a later date and acknowledged that the Company is not in default regarding this Debenture, and as consideration for the extension, the Company agreed to compensate Profit Well with 100,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $12,000. The issuance of the shares in exchange for the maturity extension was treated as a modification of existing debt pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”).

On September 29, 2017, the Company issued to an unaffiliated investor a promissory note and three tranches of warrants for an aggregate consideration of $250,000. The Note recites that it accrues no interest if paid when due and is due and payable on January 2, 2018. If principal is not paid on or before maturity, interest will accrue at the rate of 15% per year until paid. On November 6, 2017, the Company agreed to compensate the investor with 75,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock in connection with a more favorable term of a note entered into with FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC (“FirstFire”). On December 30, 2017, the Company and the investor agreed to extend the maturity date of this Note to January 23, 2018, in return for a payment at maturity of the principal, accrued interest as provided in the Note, plus 30,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. Because the fair value of the shares was greater than 10% of the present value of the remaining cash flows under the Note, the issuance of the shares in connection with a more favorable term of a note entered with FirstFire was treated as a debt extinguishment and reissuance of a new debt instrument pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”).

Since January 23, 2018, the Company and the investor have been in ongoing discussions to extend the term of this Note. On March 28, 2018, the investor acknowledged that the Company is not in default regarding this Note and reaffirmed its belief that the Company will either extend the Note’s due date or repay its obligation on terms that are mutually satisfactory. The warrants have the following terms:

●	375,000 warrants to purchase 375,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a strike price of $0.665 per share expiring on September 29, 2019;

●	375,000 warrants to purchase 375,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a strike price of $1.25 per share expiring on September 29, 2020; and

●	185,000 warrants to purchase 185,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a strike price of $2.00 per share expiring on September 29, 2020.

The aggregate relative fair value of three tranches of warrants was determined to be $105,000 on September 29, 2017, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions: (i) volatility rate of 94%, (ii) discount rate of 0%, (iii) zero expected dividend yield, and (iv) expected life of 2-3 years. $2,536 imputed interest was recorded as debt discount. $2,536 was determined using the present value method based on the following assumptions: (i) adjusted interest rate 4% (ii) expected life of 0.26 year. The aggregate value of the warrants and imputed interest of $107,536 was considered as debt discount upon issuance and will be amortized as interest over the term of the Note or in full upon the conversion of the Note. At June 30, 2019, $250,000 of principal was outstanding under the Note.

Each tranche of warrants is subject to down round adjustment provisions if the Company during the term of that tranche issues additional securities for consideration per share, after giving effect to fees, commission and expenses, that is less, or which on conversion or exercise of the underlying security is less, than $0.665 per share (as adjusted for any change resulting from forward or reverse splits, stock dividends and similar events).

To satisfy most favored nation provisions in previously entered securities purchase agreements that are triggered by the transaction described above, the Company issued 136,015 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 136,015 shares of common stock, in the aggregate, to certain investors who purchased units from the Company, at a $1.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share and one warrant. See the Company’s Current Report on the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 5, 2017. Of this amount, 100,752 shares and warrants to purchase 100,752 shares of common stock will be issued to Wilshire Energy Partners LLC, an entity controlled by Kevin J. Sylla, our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FPI. The exercise price of these investor warrants was adjusted to $0.665 per share. We measured the value of the effect of the down round feature as the difference between the fair value of the financial instrument at an original exercise price of $1.50 and an adjusted exercise price of $0.665 and, as a result, $59,801 was recorded as down round feature as interest expense under ASC 260-10-30-1. Foothills determined the amount of $59,801 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions: (i) volatility rate of 94%, (ii) discount rate of 0%, (iii) zero expected dividend yield, and (iv) expected life of 3 years.

(3)	A promissory note was issued on November 1, 2017, for services rendered, bearing an interest rate of 12% per annum and with a maturity date of June 30, 2018. On August 22, 2018, the Note Holder agreed to defer repayment of this note to a later date and acknowledged that the Company is not in default regarding this Debenture. As partial consideration for the deferment, the Company agreed to issue the Note Holder 60,000 shares of its restricted common stock. The issuance of the shares in exchange for the maturity extension was treated as a modification of existing debt pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”).

(4)	On July 19, 2018, the Company borrowed $38,000 from an unaffiliated investor with an original discount of $3,207. The Note recites that it accrues no interest if paid when due and is due and payable on August 6, 2018. If principal is not paid on or before maturity, interest will accrue at the rate of 10% per year until paid. In connection with the issuance of this note, the Company issued 300,000 shares for late SEC filing, valued at $36,000. $74 imputed interest was recorded as debt discount. $74 was determined using the present value method based on the following assumptions: (i) adjusted interest rate 4% (ii) expected life of 0.05 year. The relative aggregate value of the shares and imputed interest was determined to be $32,793 using the allocation of proceed, $32,793 was considered as debt discount upon issuance and will be amortized as interest over the term of the Note or in full upon the conversion of the Note. Pursuant to this Note, the investor shall be assigned an undivided two percent (2%) overriding royalty of all oil, gas, and other minerals and hydrocarbons produced, saved, and sold from each well now or hereinafter located on certain leases and wells owned by the Company.

(1)	On May 10, 2017, we entered into a convertible note agreement with an unrelated party, pursuant to which we borrowed $50,000 at an annual percentage rate of 10% with a term of 12 months, which is due on May 10, 2018. This note may, at the option of the lender, be converted at any time prior to May 10, 2018, into fully-paid, restricted and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to 100% of the selling price of such common stock in a private placement to institutional and/or accredited investors initiated by the Company during the term of this convertible note until May 10, 2018. On November 7, 2017, the Company issued 50,000 warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a strike price of $1.00 per share expiring on May 7, 2019. If the Company fails to pay the principal and accrued unpaid interest due and payable to Lender on or before the due date of the convertible note, then the Lender shall be provided the right to convert at either $0.665 per share or upon the same terms offered in FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC Note’s conversion options. The relative fair value of warrant was determined to be $3,381 on November 7, 2017, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions: (i) volatility rate of 77%, (ii) discount rate of 0%, (iii) zero expected dividend yield, and (iv) expected life of 1.5 years. The issuance of the warrants in exchange for the maturity extension was treated as a modification of existing debt pursuant to the guidance of ASC 470-50 “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”).

During the audit process, a vendor for whom the Company has recorded $50,000 in accounts payable, confirmed an open invoice due to them that was greater than what was reported on the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes that this invoice is legally disputable, as follows:

1.	The invoice was only prepared and submitted after the request for a confirmation letter. No demand has ever been made to the Company for payment either orally, invoice or letter.

2.	The invoice fails to reflect any payments made to the account, although Company records show that certain amounts were paid to this account.

3.	The invoice includes a bonus fee for services rendered in connection with a lease transfer. This fee was not earned in that the milestone for the bonus was a lease transfer which remains in litigation and the terms of the oral modification of the written contract between the parties required the successful completion of the transfer as the milestone.

4.	The contract between the parties was terminated in May, 2018.

The Company believes that the invoice is completely irregular and does not represent any legitimate debt of the Company to this vendor.

Contractual Obligations

Leases

Effective March 4, 2019, the Company entered into a sublease agreement, expiring November 30, 2020, for approximately 3,236 square feet of office space in Los Angeles, California, at a monthly rental amount of $9,500, and subsequently moved its corporate headquarters to the new location.

The Company records the lease asset and lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The leases typically do not provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate at the time of lease commencement to discount the present value of lease payments. The Company’s discount rate for operating leases at June 30, 2019 was 12%. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our weighted-average remaining lease term is 1.67 years.

As of June 30, 2019, the maturities of operating leases liabilities are as follows:

	Operating Leases
Remaining 2019	$	57,000
2020		107,350
Total		164,350
Less: amount representing interest		(17,150	)
Present value of future minimum lease payments		147,200
Less: current obligations under leases		101,225

	Six months ended
	June 30, 2019
Operating lease costs	$	44,250
Variable rent costs		(-	)
Total rent expense	$	44,250

Legal proceedings

The Company has determined that judgments rendered in the second quarter of 2018 in connection with all but four of the following legal proceedings against the Company are Type 1 subsequent events that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet. Therefore, the financial statements reflect the effects of prejudgment judgments awards to plaintiffs through June 30, 2019, noted below in accordance with Auditing Standard 2801.03.

Utah Wells

Graco Fishing & Rental Tools, Inc. vs. Tiger Energy Operating LLC (Case No. 160800005 8^thJudicial District Court, Duchesne County, State of Utah)

Plaintiff in this case sought collection of unpaid debt incurred by TEO for services rendered in connection with its workover of wells in Duchesne County, Utah. On June 1, 2016, a default judgment of $159,965 was obtained against TEO by Plaintiff. Graco filed a writ of execution against the A Rust 2, Dye-Hall 2-21 A1, Wilkins 1-24 A5 and Rust 3-22A-4 wells located in Duchesne County executing on properties not owned by us. A Motion to Set Aside the sheriff’s sale of these properties was filed with the court based on the fact that TEO was not the owner of these properties. A hearing for this matter was held on May 1, 2017, in Duchesne County, Utah, at which time a Company representative was present to comply with the court’s order to produce documents. Prior to the hearing, TEO made an initial settlement offer, which was eventually rejected by Graco. A writ of execution was issued to seize the property subject of litigation on March 8, 2018.

Graco had scheduled certain foreclosure sales of TEO’s interests in various oil and gas wells to take place on May 3, 2018 (the “Sales”). On April 27, 2018, the parties reached a settlement and release agreement whereby TEO agreed to make five (5) payments totaling $163,964.59 to Graco. The first payment due on May 9, 2018, has already been made to the judgment holder. The second payment of $32,792.92 is due on July 9, 2018; the third payment of $32,792.92 is due on September 9, 2018; the fourth payment of $32,792.92 is due on November 9, 2018; and fifth and final payment of $32,792.92 is due on January 9, 2019. If any of the above payments are not made when due, Grace will have the right to immediately execute the Sales. Graco will maintain and apply liens and notices of its judgment until the total payment has been paid in full by TEO. TEO shall be provided with a 10-day period within which to cure any default under the settlement agreement, other than making the first payment described above. TEO made its second payment of $32,793 on July 19, 2018, within the 10-day cure period provided in the settlement agreement. TEO made its third payment of $32,793 on September 11, 2018, within the 10-day cure period provided in the settlement agreement. TEO also made its fourth payment of $32,793 on November 15, 2018. On January 25, 2019, the Plaintiff issued a Writ of Execution Notice. A Notice of Sheriff Sale was filed on February 1, 2019.

Regarding the Company’s Utah properties, there was a settlement agreement between Graco Fishing & Rental Tools, Inc. (“Graco”) and Tiger Energy Operating, LLC (“TEO”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company and the Operator of the Duck Creek wells. Graco obtained a default judgment of $159,965 against TEO, subsequent to which they were also issued Writs of Execution against the certain TEO wells, located in Uintah and Duchesne County, Utah.

Graco had scheduled foreclosure sales of TEO’s interests in four wells (A Rust 2, Dye-Hall 2-21-A1, Wilkins 1-24A5, and Rust 3-22A4), which was to take place on May 3, 2018 (the “Sales”). On April 27, 2018, the parties reached a settlement and release agreement whereby TEO agreed to make five (5) payments totaling $163,965 to Graco. If any of the above payments were not made when due, Graco had the right to immediately execute the Sales. Graco also had the right to maintain and apply liens and notices of its judgment until the total payment has been paid in full by TEO. On June 27, 2018, Finley Resources, Inc. (“Finley”), acquired all of Graco’s right, title and interest in the settlement agreement.

The first four settlement payments to the judgment holder were made timely but the last and final payment was made late, and the judgment holder (i.e. Finley) rejected TEO’s final payment. The Company disputes this because the final date of the 10-day cure period was on a Saturday, which is not considered a business day and therefore, the payment was made on the following business day. On January 25, 2019, Finley issued a Writ of Execution Notice and a Notice of Sheriff Sale was filed on February 1, 2019, for the four wells: A Rust 2, Dye-Hall 2-21-A1, Wilkins 1-24A5, and Rust 3-22A4. While it believes it could prevail should it protest Finley’s actions, the Company believes that the production value of the affected properties is limited. For additional details, please review the Legal Proceedings section of the 10-K report.

Conquest Well Servicing, LLC vs. Foothills Exploration Operating, Inc. (Case No. 179800421 8^thJudicial District Court in and for Uintah County, State of Utah)

Plaintiff filed this action on September 11, 2017, for collection of unpaid services and materials in the amount of $49,689 in connection with a workover of wells in Uintah County, Utah. A Settlement Agreement and Stipulation to Entry of Judgment was agreed to by the parties and filed with the court on October 10, 2017. Judgment in the amount of $54,937.10 including $5,248.10 in pre-judgement interest was filed on December 18, 2017. An order requesting company asset inquiry was issued on February 20, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, we recorded $13,489 of prejudgment interest expense. A hearing on contempt by FEOI for failure to appear and an answer as to assets was set for September 13, 2018. A stipulation was filed with the court to continue the hearing to October 22, 2018. FEOI inadvertently failed to appear at this hearing, resulting in a contempt of court citation being issued. Currently, FEOI is seeking to reschedule this hearing and intends to purge any contempt by compliance with the court’s order.

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

This report contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including without limitation, statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations regarding our financial position, estimated working capital, business strategy, the plans and objectives of our management for future operations and those statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believe,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “projects,” “target,” “goal,” “plans,” “objective,” “should” or similar expressions or variations on such expressions are forward-looking statements. We can give no assurances that the assumptions upon which the forward-looking statements are based will prove to be correct. Because forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, our inability to obtain adequate financing, insufficient cash flows and resulting illiquidity, our inability to expand our business, government regulations, lack of diversification, volatility in the price of oil and/or natural gas, increased competition, results of arbitration and litigation, stock volatility and illiquidity, our failure to implement our business plans or strategies and general economic conditions. A description of some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those described by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q appears in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligations or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring losses from inception through June 30, 2019, has a working capital deficit at June 30, 2019, of $23,789,371, and has limited sources of revenue. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements reflect that our current liabilities exceed our current assets and it is possible that the historical value of the assets that we record on our books may not be attained on a sale or other disposition for cash. We require substantial additional operating capital to maintain current operations and to implement even a portion of our identified acquisitions and workovers. Additional capital, if available at all, will likely be on onerous terms that are also dilutive to our shareholders. No assurance can be given that we will obtain any additional capital. As a consequence, an investment in our shares or other securities is extremely speculative and may result in a complete loss of your investment.

Interest Expense and Gain on Change in Derivative Value

Interest expense and Gain on Change in Derivative Value for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, was $7,968,634 and $(1,225,075), respectively. The increase in interest expense and derivative value is primarily attributed to additional compensation related to notes payable extensions during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Other Income

Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, was $18,905 and $22,907, respectively. The increase in other income is primarily attributed to a credit provided by the lessor of our Denver office for an unused allowance for tenant improvements which was contractually allowed to offset monthly rental payments for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Gain or loss on extinguishment of debt

Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, was $1,246,186 and $(63,685), respectively. The increase in loss on extinguishment of debt is primarily attributed to common stock shares exchanged for the reduction of officers and directors’ accrued unpaid wages issued below market price.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was $8,360,207 ($0.37) per basic and diluted common share. Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was $2,390,301 ($0.16) per basic and diluted common share.

Accrued payable to management for unpaid compensation of $1,023,371.

Cash, Cash equivalents, restricted cash and Accounts Receivable

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had cash of $21,099, compared to $1,139 at December 31, 2018.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company has restricted cash of $120,000, compared to $120,000 at December 31, 2018.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had accounts receivable – trade & oil and gas of $89,902, compared to $10,090 at December 31, 2018. This increase in accounts receivable is due primarily to 22 gas wells we acquired in Q1 2019.

Liabilities

As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding balance of principal on notes and convertible notes payable net of debt discount was $10,024,364 a net increase of $997,030 from the outstanding balance of $9,027,334 as of December 31, 2018. This net increase was due to additional notes we entered into during Q1 2019.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $882,334 to $7,132,544 at June 30, 2019, from $6,250,210 at December 31, 2018. Included in accounts payable and accrued expenses are $1,023,371 and $687,770 as of the June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, primarily associated with accrued payable to management for unpaid compensation. These unpaid liabilities are aged from 1 days to 635 days, and the Company lacks the liquidity to pay them until it obtains additional capital.

Management knows that its existing cash on hand is insufficient to fund its current operations. The Company is currently in discussions with multiple parties interested in providing additional capital investment to fund the Company’s current operations, development plans for current assets, and acquisitions of producing properties presently under consideration. The Company also continues to search for producing and/or additional productive properties and seeks to strategically lease additional acreage positions adjoining leases currently owned by the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will be successful in any of these endeavors, or that those efforts will translate in a beneficial manner to the Company. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and/or liabilities that might be necessary, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company used $557,128 and provided $99,542 of cash in operating activities, respectively. Non-cash adjustments included $222,255 and $239,259 related to stock compensation expense, $3,160 and $(936) in rent related, $7,295,739 and $672,423 related to amortization of debt discount, warrant and conversion feature that exceeded notes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, common stock and warrants issued for inducement of the note extension and change in derivative liabilities and extinguishment of debt of ($1,246,186) and $63,685, and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $603,513 and $944,108, respectively.

Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, $684,413 and $0 net cash was used in investing activities, an increase of $684,413. This increase is primarily due to 22 gas wells acquired in Q1 19.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, $1,261,501 and ($100,000) net cash used and provided by financing activities, an increase of $1,361,501. This change is primarily due to notes payable entered into during Q1 19 during six months ended June 30, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any 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 is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In accordance with GAAP, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management reviews and refines those estimates. Management’s judgments are based on information including, but not limited to, historical experience, industry trends, conventional practices, expert opinions, terms of existing agreements and information from outside sources. Judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and therefore actual results could differ from these estimates.

Oil and Gas Properties, Full Cost Method. The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its investments in oil and gas properties. Under the full cost method, all costs associated with the exploration of properties are capitalized into appropriate cost centers within the full cost pool. Internal costs that are capitalized are limited to those costs that can be directly identified with acquisition, exploration, and development activities undertaken and do not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead, or similar activities. Cost centers are established on a country-by-country basis, and all of the Company’s capitalized costs associated with oil and gas properties are located within a single cost center, which is the United States.

Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC Topic 606”). This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. The updated guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principal of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the updated guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method. The new standard did not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations, as it did not change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue. Under ASC Topic 606, in order to recognize revenue, the Company is required to identify an approved contract with commitments to perform respective obligations, identify rights of each party in the transaction regarding goods to be transferred, identify the payment terms for the goods transferred, verify that the contract has commercial substance and verify that collection of substantially all consideration is probable. The adoption of ASC Topic 606 did not have an impact on the Company’s operations or cash flows.

Stock-Based Compensation. Pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee service, we utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. We estimate volatility by considering historical stock volatility. We have opted to use the simplified method for estimating expected term, which is equal to the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Not required under Regulation S-K for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company is required to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Act. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, B.P. Allaire, who is both the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Notwithstanding the existence of the material weaknesses discussed below, our management, including our CEO/CFO, has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in conformity with GAAP.

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report from the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act the Company is not required to comply with Section 404(b) because it is an “emerging growth company.”

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

●	pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;

●	provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and

●	provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the 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.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls. Based on this assessment, the Company’s management has concluded that as of June 30, 2019, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as a result of material weaknesses.

The Company has identified the following factors that have led management to determine that material weaknesses exist in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2019:

1.	The Company does not have written documentation of its internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management evaluated the impact of the Company’s failure to have written documentation of its internal controls and procedures on its assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

2.	The Company does not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of the Company’s failure to have segregation of duties on the Company’s assessment of its disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

These factors represent material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Although the Company believes the possibility of errors in its financial statements is remote and expects to continue to use a third party accountant to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and financial reporting responsibilities in an effort to mitigate the lack of segregation of duties, until such time as the Company hires a full time principal financial officer and expands its staff with qualified personnel, the Company expects to continue to report material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls.

The design of any system of control is based upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all future events, no matter how remote, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may not deteriorate. Because of its inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. 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 policies and procedures may deteriorate.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may be involved in routine legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation that arise in the normal course of our business. The ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any claims of any type (either alone or in the aggregate) may materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. In addition, the ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain. Any outcome, whether favorable or unfavorable, could materially and adversely affect us due to legal costs and expenses, diversion of management attention and other factors. We expense legal costs in the period incurred. We cannot assure you that additional contingencies of a legal nature or contingencies having legal aspects will not be asserted against us in the future, and these matters could relate to prior, current or future transactions or events.

At June 30, 2019, our indirect subsidiaries were parties to the following contested matters:
