Business
 
General
 
We were incorporated on May 14, 2004 in Nevada. Between May 2004 and May 2007 we were relatively inactive. In May 2007, we directed our focus to the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties. We are currently controlled by Holloman Corporation, a Texas corporation involved in the engineering and construction of pipelines and mid-stream gas processing facilities.

All of our exploration and development efforts are concentrated in Australia. We hold working interests in petroleum exploration licenses covering 3,444 square kilometers (851,030 gross acres, 412,752 net acres) located on the western flank of Australia’s Cooper Basin.

Effective May 11, 2012, we entered into a definitive Oil and Gas Farm-In Agreement with Terra Nova Energy Ltd., and its wholly owned subsidiary Terra Nova Resources Inc. (“Terra Nova”), which provides Terra Nova the right to earn up to a 55% undivided working interest in our Australian licenses in exchange for undertaking certain exploration obligations (the “Terra Nova Farm-In Agreement”).

We are an exploration stage company and did not participate in drilling any wells during the three years preceding June 30, 2013. On July 23, 2013, we spudded the Wolfman #1 exploration well on PEL 112. The Wolfman #1 did not encounter oil or gas and was plugged and abandoned.
 
As of March 31, 2015 we did not have any proven oil or gas reserves and we did not have any revenue.
 
Our Australian assets
 
In May 2007 we acquired a 62.5% working interest in an offshore Australian oil and gas exploration permit known as Victoria Permit 60 (“Vic P60”). We paid $639,487 in cash plus a 4.00% overriding royalty participation for this interest. On November 21, 2007 we acquired Holloman Petroleum Pty. Ltd. (“Holloman Petroleum”) for 18,600,000 shares of our common stock. Holloman Petroleum’s assets consisted of working interests, varying between 37.5% and 100%, in seven oil and gas permits awarded by the Australian Government. These permits, one of which included the remaining 37.5% working interest in Vic P60, covered 8,087 square kilometers (1,998,348 acres) of land in the Cooper/Eromanga Basin and 2,589 square kilometers (639,755 acres) offshore in the Gippsland Basin and the Barrow Sub-Basin. We have subsequently relinquished the Vic P60 and Barrow Sub-Basin permits and consolidated two of our onshore licenses.

Onshore licenses – Cooper Basin
 
We currently hold working interests of 48.5003% in two onshore Petroleum Exploration Licenses (PELs) in Australia. PEL 112 is comprised of 1,086 square kilometers (268,356 gross acres). PEL 444 is comprised of 2,358 square kilometers (582,674 gross acres). Both licenses are located on the southwestern flank of the Cooper Basin in the State of South Australia. We are obligated to pay 4.53% in royalties on our revenues generated by operations on these licenses.

The Department of Primary Industries and Resources of South Australia reports that the Cooper Basin has sourced over 158 million barrels of oil, 5 trillion cubic feet of gas and 155 million equivalent barrels of LPG and condensate. It has in excess of 120,000 kilometers of 2-D seismic data and more than 1,970 wells in more than 103 oil and 165 gas fields. From January 2002 through December 2012, 195 exploration wells and 85 appraisal/development wells have been drilled by the new explorers in the Cooper Basin. Most have targeted oil, however both oil and gas have been discovered. The new entrants found hydrocarbons in 89 of these wells (46% technical success rate) and 76 were cased and suspended as future producers (39% commercial success rate). Our management believes that Australia provides a stable regulatory, tax and business environment in the oil and gas sector.

Heavy rains beginning in February 2010 created wide scale flooding in the Cooper Basin. For nearly eighteen months, the inaccessibility of roads and facilities partially curtailed Cooper Basin oil production and resulted in a general contraction of exploration activity. As a result, we have applied for, and have been granted multiple license extensions on PEL 112 and PEL 444 from the Government of South Australia. Effective January 9, 2012, we were granted a variation of license terms on PEL 112. Under the variation, the minimum work requirements for PEL 112 License Year Three (3) were exchanged for those of PEL 112 License Year Four (4). Accordingly, the timeframe for acquisition of 100 kilometers of 2D seismic data on that license was moved from January 10, 2012 to January 10, 2013. Our seismic obligation on PEL 112 was completed in late September 2012. On January 3, 2013, we were also granted a six-month extension on PEL 444 such that the timeframe for acquisition of 200 kilometers of 2D seismic data on that license was moved from January 10, 2013 to July 11, 2013, and the overall license term for PEL 444 was extended to July 11, 2015. On February 17, 2015 a 6 month extension was granted extending the obligated drill date to January 11, 2016. Seismic acquisition on PEL 444 was completed in July 2013. The Seismic interpretation on PEL 444 was finalized in February 2014 and the registration with the Government of South Australia was completed on May 7, 2014. This fulfills our minimum work requirements for PEL 444 License Year Three (3).

Under Australian law, at the end of each five year term, one third of the area covered by a petroleum exploration license must be relinquished. In June 2008 the Government of South Australia renewed the lease term and associated work programs for PEL 112 and PEL 444 by five years. In connection with that renewal, we identified and relinquished one-third of the acreage covered by PEL 112 and PEL 444.

During November 2013, we applied for our final five-year renewal of PEL 112. On December 18, 2013, the Government of South Australia accepted our application and offered to renew PEL 112 in accordance with our suggested terms. In connection with that renewal, we identified and relinquished one-third of the acreage covered by PEL 112. The remaining license acreage contains all areas over which 2D and 3D seismic has been acquired and all existing leads and prospects. We believe the acreage we relinquished was non-prospective. On March 12, 2014, the Government of South Australia finalized its renewal of PEL 112. As a result, we now hold a 48.5003% working interest in PEL 112 (which is comprised of 1,086 square kilometers (268,356 acres) until January 10, 2019.

To maintain our exploration rights in the Cooper/Eromanga Basin, the Australian Government requires that we fulfill the following minimum work commitments:

Our oil and gas farm-in agreements and exploration activity

Cooper Basin farm-in agreements

Effective May 11, 2012, we entered the Terra Nova Farm-In Agreement with Terra Nova, Australian-Canadian Oil Royalties Ltd. (“ACOR”) and Eli Sakhai (“Sakhai”) on PELs 112 and 444. The Terra Nova Farm-In Agreement provides terms under which Terra Nova may earn a 55% undivided working interest in PEL 112 and PEL 444 (the “Farm-In Interest”).

To earn the entire Farm-In Interest, Terra Nova is required to fund exploration and development expenditures (the “Earning Obligations”) totaling at least AUD$13,700,000 (USD$13,308,200) including:

  
AUD$4,700,000 (USD$4,968,000) which was placed in escrow during May 2012, for use in the completion of a seismic acquisition program sufficient to meet the minimum seismic acquisition requirements and interpretation of the acquired data for PEL 112 and PEL 444 (earning a 20% working interest in each license); and
 

  
AUD$4,500,000 (USD$4,670,000) which was placed in escrow on November 1, 2012 to secure Terra Nova’s obligation to sole fund the dry-hole costs of an initial three (3) well drilling program on either PEL 112 or PEL 444, provided that at least one well is drilled on each license (earning a working interest of 5.833% per well in each license, totaling a working interest of 17.5%); and
 

  
AUD$4,500,000 (USD$3,670,200) to be placed in escrow on or before 45 days following completion or abandonment of the third well in the initial well program for use in funding the first AUD$4,500,000 in dry-hole costs of an optional three (3) well drilling program on either PEL 112 or PEL 444, provided that at least one well is drilled on each license (earning a working interest of 5.833% per well in each license, totaling a working interest of 17.5%).

Terra Nova will act as contract operator with respect to all seismic acquisition and drilling work contemplated by the Terra Nova Farm-In Agreement.

Effective May 29, 2013, the Terra Nova Farm-In Agreement was amended such that of the AUD$4,500,000 (USD$4,670,000) placed in escrow for the Initial Well Program, AUD$500,000 (USD$482,250) was used to pay costs incurred in the PEL 444 seismic program. Costs incurred in relation to the seismic earning obligations in excess of AUD$5,200,000 (USD$5,152,000) are borne by Terra Nova, other interest holders and us in accordance with our/their working interest percentages calculated as though Terra Nova had successfully completed its Earning Obligations and earned the entire Farm-In Interest.

In the event Terra Nova elects to complete the second well drilled in connection with the initial three well drilling program, Terra Nova shall pay 50% of the completion cost and we will pay the other 50% of the completion costs. In the event Terra Nova elects to complete the third well drilled in connection with the initial three well drilling program, or any well drilled in connection with the optional three well drilling program, Terra Nova shall pay 50% of the completion cost, and we, and other interest holders shall pay the other 50% of the completion costs in accordance with our working interest at the effective date of the Terra Nova Farm-In Agreement. Terra Nova needs to drill the second well no later than January 11, 2016.

In the event any well drilled in connection with either the initial or optional drilling programs is commercially viable, and Terra Nova elects to complete such well, Terra Nova is entitled to a preferential recovery of one hundred percent of the costs it has paid to drill and test that successful well. Terra Nova is entitled to 80% of production from that successful well until either that successful well has ceased production or Terra Nova has received net revenue equal to the reimbursable costs it has incurred.

Terra Nova earns the Farm-In Interest in stages based upon successful completion of specific Earning Obligations. In each instance, we, and other interest holders will each contribute a portion of the working interest earned by Terra Nova. In the event Terra Nova earns the entire Farm-In Interest, we, and other interest holders will transfer to Terra Nova the following working interest percentages in both PEL 112 and PEL 444:

(a)
We will contribute an undivided 38.556% working interest in both PEL 112 and PEL 444 (resulting in a residual working interest position of 28.112% in each license);
   
(b)
Other interest holders will contribute an undivided 16.444% working interest in both PEL 112 and PEL 444; and
 
The Terra Nova Farm-In Agreement may be terminated by any party upon the occurrence of an uncured breach of any material term. Terra Nova may terminate the Agreement any time before it has earned the Farm-In Interest upon providing written notice of such termination. In the event Terra Nova terminates the Agreement, it shall not be entitled to any interest in either PEL 112 or PEL 444 unless it has satisfied an Earning Obligation with respect to that license.
 
Cooper Basin exploration activity

Our Cooper Basin exploration plan includes the acquisition of 3D seismic data on PEL 112 and PEL 444, and the drilling, completion and equipping of six (6) wells shared across both licenses. Current estimates indicate the costs to perform this work could be AUD$37.5 million (USD$31.5 million). Of this amount, approximately AUD$10.9 million (USD$9.8 million) has already been expended.

PEL 112

Acquisition of 127 square kilometers of 3D seismic data on PEL 112 (the “Mulka Survey”) was completed in late September 2012. The Mulka Survey fulfilled our minimum work requirements for PEL 112 License Year Four. Geokinetics (Australia) Pty. Ltd. undertook the Mulka Survey on the northern boundary of PEL 112 under the direction of Terra Nova. During February 2013, we received copies of the Mulka Survey data and interpretation from Terra Nova. As a result, Terra Nova completed its seismic Earning Obligation with respect to PEL 112, and earned an undivided 20% working interest in that license. We, ACOR and Sakhai each contributed the following portion of the working interest earned to Terra Nova:

(a)
We contributed an undivided 13.3334% working interest in PEL 112 resulting in a residual working interest position of 53.334% in that license;
   
(b)
ACOR contributed an undivided 3.3333% working interest in PEL 112; and
   
(c)
Sakhai contributed an undivided 3.3333% working interest in PEL 112.

On July 17, 2013, the Government of South Australia finalized and registered the transfer of the 20% working interest earned by Terra Nova in PEL 112.

Seven drilling targets were identified as a result of the final interpretation of the Mulka Survey data. We believe our primary drilling targets are similar geologically to producing structures observed in existing oil pools (including the Butlers, Perlubie and Parsons fields) located to the north of PEL 112 on the Cooper Basin’s western-flank. Seismic interpretation indicates that all primary targets display 4-way structural closures.

Work Area Clearance (“WAC”) on PEL 112 access roads and drill site locations began April 20, 2013 and was completed on April 22, 2013. WAC is the process by which anthropologists and representatives of Australia’s Native Title Holders review exploration sites to ensure planned activity does not harm the cultural integrity of the land to be explored.

On July 23, 2013, we spudded the Wolfman #1 exploration well on PEL 112. The well’s primary oil objective, the Namur Sandstone, was encountered at approximately 1,197 meters (3,927 feet) on August 6, 2013. Drilling continued to its secondary targets in the Birkhead formation and Hutton sandstones. Wolfman #1 reached Total Depth of 1,703 meters (5,587 feet), on August 7, 2013. No oil shows were observed in the primary and secondary oil objectives, and the well was plugged and abandoned. The entire cost of the well was paid by Terra Nova in accordance with the terms of the Terra Nova Farm-In Agreement.

The drilling of Wolfman #1 fulfilled our minimum work requirement for PEL 112 License Year Five. 3D Sesimic data has been acquired on only 11.7% (31,382 of 268,356 gross acres) of the land comprising PEL 112. We believe significant potential remains for future seismic to identify migration trends and additional prospects on PEL 112 during the next exploration term.

Upon completion of Wolfman #1 Terra Nova earned an additional undivided 5.8333% working interest in PEL 112. We, ACOR and Sakhai each contributed the following portion of the working interest earned to Terra Nova:

(a)
We contributed an undivided 4.8333% working interest in PEL 112 resulting in a residual working interest position of 48.5003% in that license;
   
(b)
ACOR contributed an undivided 0.5000% working interest in PEL 112; and
   
(c)
Sakhai contributed an undivided 0.5000% working interest in PEL 112.
 
On December 20, 2013, the Government of South Australia registered the transfer of the 5.8333% working interest earned by Terra Nova in PEL 112.

During November 2013, the Company applied for a five-year renewal of its license on PEL 112. In connection with its application, the Company offered to relinquish 1,110 square kilometers (274,287 acres) of the area covered by that license. On March 12, 2014, the Government of South Australia accepted the Company’s application and finalized its renewal of PEL 112. As a result, the Company now holds a 48.5003% working interest in PEL 112 until January 10, 2019.  The Company’s management believes the acreage relinquished in connection with this renewal was non-prospective, and intends to develop the prospects identified on its remaining acreage in that concession.

PEL 444

Acquisition of 80 square kilometers of 3D seismic data on PEL 444 (the “Wingman Survey”) began May 28, 2013 and was completed July 2, 2013. The Wingman Survey was conducted over a portion of PEL 444 that lies within the "Western Margin" of the Cooper Basin, which is generally considered highly prospective. This trend is being actively drilled by adjacent licensees including Senex Energy and Beach Energy.

During February 2014, Terra Nova finalized its interpretation of the Wingman Survey data and earned a 25.8333% working interest in PEL 444. The working interest earned by Terra Nova was comprised of a 20% interest resulting from the completion of the Wingman Survey and a 5.8333% interest granted in connection with Terra Nova’s completion of the Wolfman #1 well. The Company, ACOR and Sakhai each contributed a portion of the working interest earned by Terra Nova as follows:

(a)  
The Company contributed an undivided 18.1667% working interest in PEL 444 resulting in a residual working interest position of 48.5003% in that license;
 
(b)  
ACOR contributed an undivided 3.8333% working interest in PEL 444; and
 
(c)  
Sakhai contributed an undivided 3.8333% working interest in PEL 444.

On May 7, 2014 the Government of South Australia registered the transfer of the 25.8333% working interest earned by Terra Nova in PEL 444. The completion of the Wingman Survey fulfills the Company’s minimum work requirements for PEL 444 License Year Three.

Eight drilling locations were identified as a result of the reprocessing and final interpretation of the Wingman Survey data. We believe our primary drilling locations are similar geologically to the producing adjacent Charo field located in the western flank of the Cooper Basin.

Other

During 2011 and 2010, we completed processing of more than 666 km (414 miles) of 2D seismic data. This reprocessing covered a significant portion of PEL 112 and PEL 444. Our 2D seismic reprocessing was performed by Dayboro Geophysical Pty Ltd (“Dayboro”) under the supervision of Isis Petroleum Consultants Pty Ltd (“Isis”). Both Dayboro and Isis are independent engineers with lengthy geological and geophysical work experience in the Cooper Basin. The processing sequence targeted lines which complimented our technical assessment of likely drilling prospects and future seismic acquisition.

We have also completed a broad range of technical studies relating to PEL 112 and PEL 444. In largest part, the studies were performed by Isis and included; a) a review of Cooper Basin exploration acreage (including an analysis of the chronostratigraphy, an assessment of neighboring exploration results, an analysis of petroleum systems and a probabilistic volumetric assessment of leads), b) oil migration studies, c) adjacent oil pools studies, and d) economic feasibility studies. In the opinion of management, these studies increased the value of both licenses.

Competition
 
The petroleum and natural gas industry is highly competitive. Numerous independent oil and gas companies, oil and gas syndicates and major oil and gas companies actively seek out and bid for oil and gas properties as well as for the services of third party providers, such as drilling companies, upon which we rely. In the Cooper Basin, seismic and drilling contractors are limited. In large part, their schedules are controlled by demand from larger explorers in the area. Certain of our competitors control roads, bridges and other infrastructure we require to access our properties. Our reliance upon their infrastructure may create a competitive disadvantage for us. A substantial number of our competitors have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and personnel resources than we do, and have demonstrated the ability to operate through industry cycles.
 
 
7

 
 
Some of our competitors not only explore for, produce and market petroleum and natural gas, but also carry out refining operations and market the resultant products on a worldwide basis which may provide them with additional sources of capital. Larger and better capitalized competitors may be in a position to outbid us for particular prospect rights. These competitors may also be better able to withstand sustained periods of unsuccessful drilling. Larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position.
 
Petroleum and natural gas producers also compete with other suppliers of energy and fuel to industrial, commercial and individual customers. Competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of energy legislation and/or regulation considered from time to time by the governments and/or their agencies and other factors which are out of our control including, international political conditions, terrorism, overall levels of supply and demand for oil and gas, and the markets for synthetic fuels and alternative energy sources.
 
 Regulation
 
The exploration, production and sale of oil and gas are extensively regulated by governmental authorities. Applicable legislation is under constant review for amendment or expansion. These efforts frequently result in an increase in the regulatory burden on companies in our industry and consequently an increase in the cost of doing business and decrease in profitability. Numerous governmental departments and agencies are authorized to, and have, issued rules and regulations imposing additional burdens on the oil and gas industry that often are costly to comply with and carry substantial penalties for non-compliance. Production operations are affected by changing tax and other laws relating to the petroleum industry, constantly changing administrative regulations and possible interruptions or termination by government authorities.
 
Oil and gas mineral rights may be held by individuals, corporations or governments having jurisdiction over the area in which such mineral rights are located. As a general rule, parties holding such mineral rights grant licenses or leases to third parties to facilitate the exploration and development of these mineral rights. The terms of the leases and licenses are generally established to require timely development. Notwithstanding the ownership of mineral rights, the government of the jurisdiction in which mineral rights are located generally retains authority over the drilling and operation of oil and gas wells.
 
Environmental considerations
 
Our operations are also subject to a variety of constantly changing laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations can result in the imposition of substantial fines and penalties as well as potential orders suspending or terminating our rights to operate. Some environmental laws to which we are subject provide for strict liability for pollution damage, rendering a person liable for environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such person. In addition, we may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous substances, such as oil and gas related products or for other reasons.
 
Some environmental protection laws and regulations may expose us to liability arising out of the conduct of operations or conditions caused by others, or for acts which were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time the acts were performed. Changes in environmental laws and regulations, or claims for damages to persons, property, natural resources or the environment, could result in substantial costs and liabilities to us. These laws and regulations may substantially increase the cost of exploring, developing, producing or processing oil and gas and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of a given project and thus generally could have a material adverse effect upon our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws and regulations. Nevertheless, changes in existing environmental laws and regulations or in the interpretations thereof could have a significant impact on us and the oil and gas industry in general.

Other
 
We currently have no full-time employees. We use consultants and contractors to provide us, among other things, with executive management and accounting services, and technical engineering support.
 
Other than seismic, engineering, geochemical and geophysical programs capitalized in connection with our oil and gas concessions, we have devoted no substantial efforts to research and development within the last two fiscal years.
 
Our offices are located at 333 North Sam Houston Parkway East, Suite 410, Houston, Texas 77060. Our offices are provided under the terms of an administrative services agreement with Holloman Corporation, the parent company of our controlling shareholder.

ITEM 1.A.   RISK FACTORS.

Our failure to obtain capital may significantly restrict our proposed operations.
 
We need additional capital to fund operating losses and to explore for oil and gas. If we are unable to access funding when needed on acceptable terms, we may not be able to fully implement our business plans, take advantage of business opportunities, respond to competitive pressures, or refinance our debt obligations as they come due, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.

We do not know the terms by which we may obtain any future capital, but any future sale of our equity securities would dilute the ownership of existing stockholders and could be at prices substantially below the market price of our common stock. We may not be able to obtain the capital we need.
 
We have never earned a profit from our oil and gas operations.
 
We expect to incur losses during the foreseeable future and we may never be profitable. To enable us to continue in business we will eventually need to earn a profit or obtain additional financing until we are able to earn a profit.
 
Oil and gas exploration is not an exact science, and involves a high degree of risk.
 
Our primary exploration risk lies in the drilling of dry holes or drilling and completing wells which, though productive, do not produce gas and/or oil in sufficient amounts to return the amounts expended and produce a profit. Hazards, such as unusual or unexpected formation pressures, downhole fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids and other conditions are involved in drilling and completing oil and gas wells and, if such hazards are encountered, completion of any well may be substantially delayed or prevented. In addition, adverse weather conditions can hinder or delay operations, as can shortages of equipment and materials or unavailability of drilling, completion, and/or work-over rigs. Even though a well is completed and is found to be productive, water and/or other substances may be encountered in the well, which may impair or prevent production or marketing of oil or gas from the well. Exploratory drilling involves substantially greater economic risks than development drilling because the percentage of wells completed as producing wells is usually less than in development drilling. Exploratory drilling itself can generally be divided into higher risk attempts to discover a reservoir in a completely unproven area or relatively lower risk efforts in areas not too distant from existing reservoirs. While exploration adjacent to or near existing reservoirs may be more likely to result in the discovery of oil and gas than in completely unproven areas, exploratory efforts are nevertheless high risk activities.
 
Although the completion of oil and gas wells is, to a certain extent, less risky than drilling for oil and gas, the process of completing an oil or gas well is nevertheless associated with considerable risk. In addition, even if a well is completed as a producer, the well for a variety of reasons may not produce sufficient oil or gas in order to repay our investment in the well.

The acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties and the production and sale of oil and gas are subject to many factors which are outside our control.
 
These factors include, among others, general economic conditions, proximity to pipelines, oil import quotas, supply, demand, and price of other fuels and the regulation of production, refining, transportation, pricing, marketing and taxation by federal, state, and local governmental authorities.

Current oil and gas price decreases have not restricted our drilling plans.  The low lifting costs on the Western Flank of the Cooper Basin still allow for favorable margins with a lower oil price environment.
 
Due to the distances and infrastructure limitations involved in Cooper Basin exploration, we are subject to the impact of rains and flooding. Our Cooper Basin properties are situated largely on desert terrain. Though flooding is rare, we have experienced significant delays resulting from land access restrictions due to high standing water. Flooding in the past has resulted in increased investment in roads, bridges and infrastructure targeted at minimizing the effect of future heavy rains.
 
The marketability of our production depends in part upon the availability, proximity, and capacity of pipelines, and processing facilities.  Any significant change in market factors affecting these infrastructure facilities, as well as delays in the construction of new infrastructure facilities, could harm our business.  Any oil that we may produce will be delivered using facilities that we do not own or operate.  As a result, we are subject to the risk that these facilities may be temporarily unavailable due to mechanical reasons or market conditions, or may not be available to us in the future.  If we experience interruptions that impact a substantial amount of our production, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.
 
The drilling of oil and gas wells involves hazards such as blowouts, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures or other conditions which could result in substantial losses or liabilities to third parties.
 
Although we believe the coverage and types of insurance we maintain are currently adequate, we may not be insured against all losses because insurance may not be available, premium costs may be deemed unduly high, or for other reasons. Accordingly, uninsured liabilities could result in significant losses and have a material adverse effect on our operations.

The price of our common stock may become volatile, which could lead to losses by investors and costly securities litigation.
 
The trading price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate in response to factors such as:
 
  
actual or anticipated variations in our operating results;
 
  
announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments, or other business developments, such as oil or gas discoveries;
 
  
adoption of new accounting standards affecting our industry;
 
  
additions or departures of key personnel;
 
  
sales of our common stock or other securities in the open market;
 
  
conditions or trends in our industry;
 
  
changes in business, legal or regulatory conditions, or other developments affecting the oil and gas industry; and
 
  
other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.
 
 
10

 
 
The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, and the market prices of stock in exploration stage companies have been highly volatile.  In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against our company. Litigation initiated against us, whether or not successful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management's attention and resources, which could harm our business and financial condition.
 
Also see Item 1 above for a discussion of our competitive, regulatory and environmental risks.

IN ADDITION TO THE RISK FACTORS SET FORTH ABOVE, WE ARE SUBJECT TO NUMEROUS OTHER RISKS SPECIFIC TO OUR COMMON STOCK, OUR PARTICULAR BUSINESS AS WELL AS GENERAL BUSINESS RISKS.

There is currently only a limited market for our common stock. A limited market is characterized by a relatively limited number of shares in the public float, relatively low trading volume and the small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. The market for low priced securities is generally less liquid and more volatile than securities traded on national stock markets. Fluctuations in market prices are not uncommon. No assurance can be given that the market for our common stock will continue or that the stock price will be maintained.
 
As of March 31, 2015 we had 43 record holders of our common stock.
 
We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain earnings to finance the expansion of our operations.
 
On December 31, 2014, we issued 45,482 shares of our common stock, at an average price of $0.33 per share, in connection with the conversion of $15,000 in administrative service fees and 126,257 shares of our common stock, at an average price of $0.33 per share, in connection with the conversion of $41,749 in management fees payable to a wholly owned subsidiary of our controlling shareholder, Holloman Corporation. The certificates representing the shares will bear a restricted legend providing that they cannot be sold unless pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration. We relied upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the issuance of these shares and did not pay any underwriting discounts or sales commissions.
 
We relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the issuance of the shares listed above.  The persons who acquired these securities were sophisticated investors who were provided full information regarding our business and operations.  There was no general solicitation in connection with the offer or sale of these securities. The persons acquired these securities for their own accounts. The shares cannot be sold unless pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration. No commissions were paid to any person in connection with the issuance of these securities.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2014 we did not purchase any shares of our common stock from third parties in a private transaction or the open market. During the year ended December 31, 2014 none of our officers or directors, or any of our principal shareholders, purchased any shares of our common stock on our behalf from third parties in a private transaction or as a result of purchases in the open market.

Results of Operations
 
Our combined consulting, management and professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2014, decreased by approximately $65,000 or 22% (from $293,710 to $229,211) when compared to the prior fiscal year. This decrease relates to services ended in May 2014 with a consultant ($25,000) and the difference in management fees resulting from the resignation of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer in August 2014 ($39,499).

Our office and travel expenses remained relatively stable between 2014 and 2013.

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we incurred interest expense of $6,096 and $44,650, respectively. This decrease in interest relates almost entirely to the reduction in financing costs in connection with a Note Payable of $940,000 repaid in late February 2014 (see further details below).
 
The Australian dollar decreased from 0.887 to 0.8156 US dollars during the year ended December 31, 2014 and decreased from 1.037 to 0.887 US dollars during the year ended December 31, 2013. As a result, we recognized a foreign exchange gain of $387,858 during 2014 and a foreign exchange gain of $746,669 during 2013. Substantially all of our non-cash foreign exchange losses relate to the measurement of US dollars required to settle deferred taxes payable to the Australian Government in connection with our acquisition of PEL 112 and PEL 444.

On April 3, 2012, we granted 1,800,000 stock options to our Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the 2009 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (See Note 8 to the financial statements which accompany this report for a more detailed discussion). We determined that the total fair market value of the options granted was $104,874. Since the options were entirely vested at the date of grant, we recognized the entire value of the options as stock-based compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2012. We recognized no expense in connection with the option plan during the year ended December 31, 2014, since all compensation expense related to the plans had been previously recognized.

On an inception to date basis, we have recognized a net loss of approximately $14,600,000. In largest part, that loss consisted of non-cash expense including: stock-based fees and compensation expense of $3,339,000, unrealized foreign exchange gain of $174,000, and a net impairment of oil and gas properties of approximately $5,152,000. In addition, we have incurred a net loss of $1,671,000 related to the discontinued operations of a former subsidiary, and approximately $4,264,000 in other net losses, related to exploration stage operations.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The execution of the Terra Nova Farm-In Agreement significantly enhanced our exploration capacity. On May 11, 2012, Terra Nova closed an equity financing for gross proceeds equal to CAD$10,652,000 (USD$10,663,000). During May 2012, Terra Nova placed AUD$4,700,000 (USD$4,968,000) in escrow for use in the completion of the Mulka and Wingman seismic surveys. During May 2013, we agreed to amend the Terra Nova Farm-In Agreement such that of the amount placed in escrow for the Initial Well Program, AUD$500,000 (USD$482,250) could be used to pay costs incurred on the Wingman Survey as well. During July 2013 and November 2014, we also paid a cash call to Terra Nova of AUD$523,259 (USD$475,747)  and AUD$28,083 (USD$24,618) respectively covering our portion of the costs incurred on the Wingman Survey in excess of the funds escrowed in connection with those seismic efforts.

On November 1, 2012, Terra Nova deposited AUD$4,500,000 (USD$4,670,000) in escrow as a deposit to sole fund the dry-hole costs of an initial three (3) well drilling program. As at December 31, 2014 the funds escrowed had been used to cover costs in connection with those efforts.  The costs associated to drill the second well in the three (3) well drilling program will be paid by Terra Nova.

Our Cooper Basin exploration plan includes the acquisition of 3D seismic data on PEL 112 and PEL 444, and the drilling, completion and equipping of six (6) wells shared across both licenses. Current estimates indicate the costs to perform this work could be AUD$37.5 million (USD$31.5 million). Of this amount, approximately AUD$10.9 million (USD$9.8 million) has already been expended. Under the terms of the Terra Nova Farm-In Agreement, we estimate that Terra Nova will bear AUD$19.6 million (USD$16 million), we would bear AUD$4.8 million (USD$3.9 million) and our other working interest partners would bear AUD$2.2 million (USD$1.8 million), of planned future exploration costs.

Our operations to date have been financed from contract fees and advances, sales of our securities, loans from unrelated third parties and advances from Holloman Corporation, our current and former officers, directors and their affiliates. We regularly review the market to identify opportunities for capital formation.

In connection with the Terra Nova Farm-In Agreement, Terra Nova paid us cash fees totaling $350,000. We determined that $54,719 of the cash fees paid by Terra Nova were refundable to ACOR and Sakhai under the terms of a cost sharing agreement with them. Of that amount, we have withheld $37,340 as a recovery of exploration costs payable to us by ACOR and Sakhai.

On December 24, 2012 we borrowed $1,000,000 (“Loan”) from LPD Investments Ltd., (“Lender”). The Loan bore interest at 4.5% per annum and provided for a penalty rate of interest of 10% per year on any unpaid principal which is not paid when due. The Loan was payable upon demand of the Lender at any time, and may be prepaid by us without notice or penalty. On August 16, 2013, we voluntarily repaid $60,000 on the Loan, as a result, at December 31, 2013, the principal balance of the Loan was $940,000. Effective February 15, 2014 we extinguished the Loan by exchanging its remaining principal balance ($940,000) for a 1% royalty interest in favor of the Lender in all production of oil, gas and associated hydrocarbons from PEL 112 and PEL 444 (see Note 5). The Lender is an unrelated party. Holloman Corporation has guaranteed our obligations under the Loan. Other than this Loan, and the obligations associated with our oil and gas concessions in Australia, which include a formal authorization for expenditure in the amount of $176,000 relating to the potential residual portion of seismic exploration expenditures, we had no material future contractual obligations as of December 31, 2014.

On March 1, 2012, we borrowed $100,000 from a consultant who is also a shareholder. This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon demand. The entire amount of the loan was repaid on March 23, 2012.

During March 2011, we sold 1,400,002 shares of common stock in a private placement of investment units. Proceeds from the private placement totaled $210,000. Of that amount, $180,000 was paid in cash and $30,000 was a conversion of liabilities.

Effective October 1, 2010, we executed an administrative services agreement with Holloman Corporation. Under this agreement, fees of $5,000 per month are payable to Holloman Corporation covering; office and meeting space, supplies, utilities, office equipment, network access and other administrative facilities costs. These fees are payable quarterly in shares of our restricted common stock at the closing price of the stock on the last trading-day of the applicable monthly billing period. This administrative services agreement can be terminated by either party with 30-day notice. During 2014, we recorded $60,000 (2013 – $60,000) of office expense and issued 186,097 (2013– 156,343) shares of our common stock as a result of this agreement.

Effective December 18, 2014, in order to conserve cash, the Board of Directors consented to issue shares for management services incurred by our Chief Financial Officer on behalf of Holloman Corporation. These fees are payable in shares of our restricted common stock using the same basis as the administrative services agreement. We recorded $41,748 in management fees during 2014 and issued 126,257 shares of its common stock. (see Note 7)

On April 15, 2014, we sold 531,948 shares of common stock to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holloman Corporation, to certain of our directors and officers, and to two non-affiliated persons. The shares were priced at $0.25 each. Proceeds from the private placement totaled $132,987. Of that amount, $100,000 was paid in cash and $32,987 was a conversion of liabilities.

On October 20, 2014, we sold 675,000 shares of common stock to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holloman Corporation, to certain of our directors and officers, and to two non-affiliated persons. The shares were priced at $0.20 each. Proceeds from the private placement totaled $135,000.

The oil and gas industry is cyclical in nature and tends to reflect general economic conditions. Although the US has experienced economic growth during this fiscal period, other world economies are on the verge of further recessionary effects that continue to inhibit investment liquidity. Oil prices have decreased significantly in the last few months which have resulted in additional uncertainty in capital markets. Our access to capital, as well as that of our partners and contractors, may be limited due to tightened credit markets. In addition, the results of our operations will be significantly impacted by a variety of trends and factors including; (i) our exploration success and the marketability of future production, if any, (ii) increasing competition from larger companies, (iii) future fluctuations in the prices of oil and gas, and (iv) our ability to maintain or increase oil and gas production through exploration and development activities.
 
We believe our plan of operations may require up to $10 million for exploration costs and administrative expenses over the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2016. We anticipate that our working interest partners will bear will bear up to $8 million and that we may bear up to $2 million of that amount. We are attempting to raise investment capital to cover our portion of anticipated costs.

If we are unable to raise the financing we need, our business plan may fail and our stockholders could lose their investment. If we are unable to perform in accordance with the work programs required by our licenses, the Australian government could cancel our exploration rights. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the capital we require, or that if capital is offered, it will be subject to terms we consider acceptable. Investors should be aware that even in the event we are able to raise the funds we require, there can be no assurance that we will succeed in our drilling or production plans and we may never be profitable.

As of March 31, 2015 we did not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

As of March 31, 2015 we did not have any proven oil or gas reserves and we did not have any oil and gas revenues.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Measurement Uncertainty
 
The process of preparing financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts. Our estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant estimates with regard to the financial statements included with this report relate to carrying values of oil and gas properties, determination of fair values of stock based transactions, and deferred income tax rates and timing of the reversal of income tax differences.
 
These estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known.

Petroleum and Natural Gas Properties
 
We utilize the full cost method to account for our investment in oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs, interest costs relating to unproved properties, geological expenditures, tangible and intangible development costs, including direct internal costs, are capitalized to the full cost pool. When we commence production from established proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not amortized until the proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If an assessment of such properties indicates that properties are impaired, the amount of impairment is added to the capitalized cost base to be amortized.
 
 
15

 
 
The capitalized costs included in the full cost pool are subject to a "ceiling test", (based on the average of 12 month, first-day-of-the-month pricing), which limits such costs to the aggregate of the (i) estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, (ii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized, (iii) the cost of properties not being amortized, less (iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the cost of properties not being amortized and the cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized. At December 31, 2014, all of our oil and gas interests were classified as unproven properties and were not being amortized.
 
Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
 
Fair Value Measurements

Our valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of these techniques requires significant judgment and is primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, the principal (or most advantageous) market in which participants would transact for the asset or liability and the quality and availability of inputs. Inputs to valuation techniques are classified as either observable or unobservable within the following hierarchy:

 
●  
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 
●  
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for an asset or liability. These include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).

 
●  
Level 3 — unobservable inputs that reflect our own expectations about the assumptions that market participants would use in measuring the fair value of an asset or liability.
 
We consider all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $50,883 and $23,260 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We are exposed to a concentration of credit risk with respect to our cash deposits. We place cash deposits with highly rated financial institutions in the United States and Australia. At times, cash balances held in financial institutions may be in excess of insured limits. We believe the financial institutions are financially strong and the risk of loss is minimal. We have not experienced any losses with respect to the related risks and do not believe our exposure to such risks is more than normal.

The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair value of cash, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and demand notes payable approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

Stock Based Compensation
 
We record compensation expense for stock based payments using the fair value method. The fair value of stock options granted to directors and employees is determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model at the time of grant. Fair value for common shares issued for goods or services rendered by non-employees is measured based on the fair value of the goods and services received. Share-based compensation is expensed with a corresponding increase to share capital. Upon the exercise of the stock options, the consideration paid is recorded as an increase in share capital.

Foreign Currency Translation
 
Our functional and reporting currency, and that of our Australian subsidiary, is the United States dollar. The financial statements of our Canadian subsidiary (which is relatively inactive) are translated to United States dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency financial statements of our Australian subsidiary use period end rates for monetary assets and liabilities, historical rates for historical cost balances, and average rates for expenses. If material, translation gains and losses are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian and Australian dollars. As of December 31, 2014, we have not entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
We report and display comprehensive loss and its components in our consolidated financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the only components of comprehensive loss were foreign currency translation adjustments.

Income Taxes
 
We follow the asset and liability method of accounting for future income taxes. Under this method, future income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on temporary differences between the carrying amount of balance sheet items and their corresponding tax bases. In addition, the future benefits of income tax assets, including unused tax losses, are recognized, subject to a valuation allowance, to the extent that it is more likely than not that such future benefits will ultimately be realized. Future income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply when the tax liabilities or assets are to be either settled or realized.
 
Earnings per share
 
We present both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS excludes all potential dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted EPS figures are equal to those of basic EPS for each period since we had no securities outstanding during periods in which we generated net income that were potentially dilutive.
 
See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Financial Officer and Principal Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-K. Disclosure controls and procedures are procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and is communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on our evaluation, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404.A. Our 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 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
(1)  
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets;
 
(2)  
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and
 
(3)  
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework as amended in 2013. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that during the period covered by this report our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We believe our directors benefit us as a result of their expertise in the following areas:

J. Douglas Brown 
 
Oil and gas, and corporate finance
 
On November 21, 2007, we acquired Holloman Petroleum Pty. Ltd. for 18,600,000 shares of our common stock. As a condition of this acquisition, Mark Stevenson, President and CEO of Holloman Corporation, and Eric Prim, Vice President of Holloman Corporation, were appointed to our Board of Directors.
 
J. Douglas Brown is an independent director, as that term is defined in Section 803 of the listing standards of the NYSE MKT. During 2014 Mr. Brown and Mr. Macdonald comprised our Audit Committee. Mr. Brown is our Audit Committee financial expert as that term is defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
We do not have a separate nominating committee. Our entire Board of Directors acts as our nominating committee.
 
On March 26, 2007, our Board of Directors adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive and financial officers. A copy of our Code of Ethics was included as Exhibit 14.1 to our Form 10-KSB for our year ended December 31, 2006 and is also available in the “Investors” section of our website at www.hollomanenergy.com.
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
We do not have a separate compensation committee. Our Board of Directors acts as our compensation committee. During the year ended December 31, 2014, all of our directors participated in deliberations concerning executive officer compensation.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2014, our Chief Operating Officer, Eric Prim, Chief Financial Officer, Robert Wesolek, and Director, Keith Macdonald were directors with the authority to approve compensation decisions for EFLO Energy, Inc., an OTCQB natural resources exploration company. Mr. Macdonald and Mr. Wesolek were executive officers of that company. Mr. Wesolek resigned as one of our officers and directors on August 19, 2014 and Mr. Macdonald resigned on December 11, 2014.

Except for the foregoing, during the year ended December 31, 2014 none of our officers served as a compensation committee member or director of another entity whose officer(s) also served as one of our directors.

Compliance with Section 16A of the Exchange Act
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock (referred to herein as the “reporting persons”) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission various reports as to their ownership of and activities relating to our common stock. Such reporting persons are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely upon a review of copies of Section 16(a) reports and representations received by us from reporting persons, and without conducting any independent investigation of our own, we believe all Forms 3, 4 and 5 were timely filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by such reporting persons, with the exception of Holloman Value Holdings LLC (our controlling shareholder) which filed one Form 4 covering four transactions after their due dates. These transactions related entirely to the conversion of administrative service fees to shares of our common stock.

Mr. Wesolek was compensated in the form of fees for services rendered in the normal course of operations. The amount of the fees was established and approved by our Board of Directors. Mr Wesolek resigned August 19, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, $73,375 in fees payable to Mr. Wesolek remained unpaid.
 
In August 15, 2009, we issued our officers and directors fractional participation in a 2% net revenue interest in wells drilled by us on lands in the Cooper Basin. Additional participation was granted to one officer during April, 2012. These participation units represent a 0.62% interest in our Cooper Basin revenues, after all royalties, exploration expenses, operating costs and capital investments associated with the Cooper Basin have been recovered. In our opinion no value can be assigned to these revenue interests, as any valuation cannot be estimated.
 
We do not have employment agreements with our officers.
 
We do not have any annuity, pension or retirement plans.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
On August 15, 2009, we established a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and a Stock Bonus Plan. The Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) authorized the issuance of up to 7,200,000 shares of our common stock. Under the Stock Bonus Plan up to 300,000 shares (“Bonus Shares”) of our common stock could have been issued to employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors, provided qualifying services were rendered.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, no options were granted, exercised or forfeited by our officers or directors pursuant to our Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan.  All options expired on August 15, 2014.
 
We have never offered any annuity, pension or retirement benefits for our officers, directors or employees.
 
Director’s Compensation
 
Our directors are reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with attendance at Board of Director and committee meetings. During the year ended December 31, 2014, no compensation was paid to any of our directors.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

(An Exploration Stage Company)
 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Holloman Energy Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Holloman Energy Corporation and Subsidiaries (an Exploration Stage Company) (the Company) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2014, and for the period from inception (May 5, 2006) to December 31, 2014. 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 audits.

We conducted our audits 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 Holloman Energy Corporation and Subsidiaries (an Exploration Stage Company) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2014 and for the period from inception (May 5, 2006) to December 31, 2014 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 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated operating revenues, incurred losses since inception, has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its exploration activities. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

HOLLOMAN ENERGY CORPORATION
(An Exploration Stage Company)
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
 
Holloman Energy Corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 14, 2004. The Company focuses on oil and gas exploration and development in Australia’s Cooper Basin.
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company is in the exploration stage. It has not generated operating revenues, and has accumulated losses of $14,623,572 since inception. The Company has funded its operations through the issuance of capital stock, joint venturing of its work program obligations with third parties who have paid a significant portion of required program costs, and debt. Management plans to raise additional funds through: third-party equity or debt financing, continued joint venturing of its work program obligations, and reliance upon the continued support of its controlling shareholder. There is no certainty that further funding will be available as needed. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue operating as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue its operations as a going concern, realize the carrying value of its assets, and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon: the continued participation of its joint venture partners and the support of its controlling shareholder, its ability to raise capital sufficient to fund its commitments and ongoing losses, and ultimately generating profitable operations.
 
2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
 
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with US GAAP, and are expressed in United States dollars. The Company has not produced revenues from its principal business and is an exploration stage company as defined by “Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, Development Stage Entities.” These statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries First Endeavor Holdings, Inc. (“FEH”) and Holloman Petroleum Pty. Ltd. (“Holloman Petroleum”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. The most significant estimates with regard to these consolidated financial statements relate to carrying values of oil and gas properties, determination of fair values of stock based transactions, and deferred income taxes.

Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company and its Australian subsidiary’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary (which is currently inactive) is the Canadian dollar. Foreign currency financial statements of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary are translated to United States dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues and expenses. Transaction gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency financial statements of the Company’s Australian subsidiary use period end rates for monetary assets and liabilities, historical rates for historical cost balances, and average rates for expenses.  If material, translation gains and losses are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions of the Company’s subsidiaries are primarily undertaken in Australian and Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
 
Fair Market Measurements

The Company estimates the fair values of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities under ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 provides a framework for consistent measurement of fair value for those assets and liabilities already measured at fair value under other accounting pronouncements. Certain specific fair value measurements, such as those related to share-based compensation, are not included in the scope of ASC Topic 820. Primarily, ASC Topic 820 is applicable to assets and liabilities related to financial instruments, to some long-term investments and liabilities, to initial valuations of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, and to long-lived assets written down to fair value when they are impaired. It does not apply to oil and natural gas properties accounted for under the full cost method, which are subject to impairment based on SEC rules. ASC Topic 820 applies to assets and liabilities carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet, as well as to supplement fair value information about financial instruments not carried at fair value.

Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of these techniques requires significant judgment and is primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, the principal (or most advantageous) market in which participants would transact for the asset or liability and the quality and availability of inputs. Inputs to valuation techniques are classified as either observable or unobservable within the following hierarchy:

 
  
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 
  
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices which are observable for an asset or liability. These include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).

 
  
Level 3 — unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own expectations about the assumptions that market participants would use in measuring the fair value of an asset or liability.
 
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instrument’s complexity.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Acquired oil and gas properties are reported at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the Company’s balance sheet. See Oil and Gas Properties below for further discussion of the methods and assumptions used to estimate fair values.

 
33

 
 
Cash, Cash Equivalents and the Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $50,883 and $23,260 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company is exposed to a concentration of credit risk with respect to its cash deposits. The Company places cash deposits with highly rated financial institutions in the United States and Australia. At times, cash balances held in financial institutions may be in excess of insured limits. The Company believes the financial institutions are financially strong and the risk of loss is minimal. The Company has not experienced any losses with respect to the related risks and does not believe its exposure to such risks is more than normal.

The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair value of cash, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and demand notes payable approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

Long-Lived Assets
 
The carrying value of long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.

Oil and Gas Properties
 
The Company utilizes the full cost method to account for its investment in oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs, interest costs relating to unproved properties, geological expenditures, and tangible and intangible development costs including direct internal costs are capitalized to the full cost pool. When the Company commences production from established proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not amortized until the proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If an assessment of such properties indicates that properties are impaired, the amount of impairment is added to the capitalized cost base to be amortized. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company assessed that there was no impairment of unproved properties.
 
The capitalized costs included in the full cost pool are subject to a "ceiling test" (based on 12-month average of first-day-of-the-month pricing), which limits such costs to the aggregate of the (i) estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, (ii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized, (iii) the cost of properties not being amortized, less (iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the cost of properties not being amortized and the cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized. At December 31, 2014, all of the Company’s oil and gas interests were classified as unproven properties and were not being amortized.
 
Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
 
34

 
 
Asset Retirement Obligations
 
The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs an obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation is based on the current cost escalated at an inflation rate and discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate. This liability is capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized over its useful life. The liability accretes until the Company settles the obligation.
 
Environmental
 
Oil and gas activities are subject to extensive federal and provincial environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Company to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites.
 
Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Expenditures that have future economic benefits are capitalized. Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital nature are recorded when an environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the 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 on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes that date of enactment. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes by applying a two-step method. First, it evaluates whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold, and second, it measures that tax position to determine the amount of benefit, if any, to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The application of this method did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company records compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements for share based payments using the fair value method. The fair value of stock options granted to directors and employees is determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model at the time of grant. Fair value for common shares issued for goods or services rendered by non-employees is measured based on the fair value of the goods and services received. Share-based compensation is expensed with a corresponding increase to share capital. Upon the exercise of the stock options, the consideration paid is recorded as an increase in share capital.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
The Company reports and displays comprehensive income and loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the only components of comprehensive income were foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
 
35

 
 
Earnings Per Share
 
The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted EPS figures are equal to those of Basic EPS for each period since the Company had no securities outstanding during periods in which the Company generated net loss that were potentially dilutive.
 
Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events from December 31, 2014 through the date the financials were available to be issued and has disclosed any subsequent events at Note 12.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation (ASU 2014-10), which eliminates the concept of a development stage entity (DSE) from U.S. GAAP. This change rescinds certain financial reporting requirements that have historically applied to DSEs and is intended to result in cost-savings for affected entities.  ASU 2014-10 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods therein. The Company does not expect that the removal of this information will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements or the related footnote disclosures thereto.

3.  DIVESTITURE OF ENDEAVOR AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
Effective August 3, 2007, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Endeavor Canada Corporation (“Endeavor”), an Alberta Canada corporation involved in oil and gas development. The Company’s acquisition of Endeavor was accounted for as a re-capitalization using accounting principles applicable to reverse acquisitions whereby the financial statements subsequent to the date of the transaction are presented as a continuation of Endeavor. Under re-capitalization accounting Endeavor was treated as the Company’s accounting parent (legal subsidiary) and the Company was treated as the accounting subsidiary (legal parent). Accordingly, the consolidated results of operations of the Company include those of Endeavor from its inception on May 5, 2006 and those of the Company from the closing date of the re-capitalization on August 3, 2007. Endeavor, the acquired entity, was regarded as the predecessor and continuing entity as of August 3, 2007.
 
On February 1, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with its former Chief Executive Officer which provided the Company the option of exchanging all of its interest in Endeavor. On February 15, 2008, the option was exercised. In exchange, all outstanding shares of Endeavor were transferred to the former CEO. The Company recognized a gain on its divestiture of Endeavor as follows:

Offshore – The Gippsland and Barrow Basins

In May 2007, the Company acquired a 62.5% working interest in an Australian oil and gas exploration permit (“Vic P60”) covering 340,000 acres, more or less, in the Gippsland Basin in Australia. On November 21, 2007, the Company purchased seven Australian oil and gas interests. This purchase was facilitated by the acquisition of Holloman Petroleum, a privately held Australian-based company, for 18,600,000 shares of the Company's common stock with a fair market value of $15,903,000. The purchase included a 66.67% working interest in three licenses located in the Cooper Basin in the State of South Australia, the remaining 37.5% working interest in Vic P60 and a 100% working interest in three permits in the Barrow Sub-Basin in the State of Western Australia. During 2009, the Company relinquished its Barrow Sub-Basin and Vic P60 permits, and recognized a net loss on the impairment of oil and gas assets of $5,759,694. This loss included the write-off of a $639,487 deposit paid in connection with the acquisition of Vic P60. The carrying value of oil and gas properties was also reduced by $1,636,508 in deferred tax gross-ups relating to the relinquished permits.

Onshore – The Cooper Basin
 
At December 31, 2014, the Company holds working interests in two onshore Petroleum Exploration Licenses (PELs) in Australia. PEL 112, in which the Company holds a 48.5003% working interest, is comprised of 1,086 square kilometers (268,356 gross acres), and PEL 444, in which the Company also holds a 48.5003% working interest, is comprised of 2,358 square kilometers (582,674 gross acres). Both licenses are located on the southwestern flank of the Cooper Basin in the State of South Australia. The Company’s oil and gas properties are unproven. As such, the costs capitalized in connection with those properties are not currently subject to depletion.

The Terra Nova Farm-In Agreement

Effective May 11, 2012, the Company entered into a definitive Oil and Gas Farm-In Agreement with Terra Nova Energy Ltd., and its wholly owned subsidiary Terra Nova Resources Inc. (“Terra Nova”), Australian-Canadian Oil Royalties Ltd. (“ACOR”) and Eli Sakhai (“Sakhai”) on PEL 112 and PEL 444 (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides terms under which Terra Nova may earn up to a 55% undivided working interest in PEL 112 and PEL 444 (the “Farm-In Interest”).

During 2012, in connection with the Agreement, Terra Nova paid the Company non-refundable cash fees totaling $350,000, and 666,670 shares of its common stock with a fair market value of $193,334. The shares were measured at fair market value on a non-recurring basis using quoted market prices, and are categorized as a Level 1 fair value measurement under ASC Topic 820. The Company agreed to provide ACOR and Sakhai a full accounting of its use of the cash fees, and to share with ACOR and Sakhai, any excess of the cash fees over the transaction costs it incurred in connection with the Agreement. As a result of its analysis, the Company identified a total of $54,719 in excess fees to be refunded to ACOR and Sakhai. Of that amount, the Company withheld $37,340 as a recovery of exploration costs payable to it by ACOR and Sakhai.

To earn the entire Farm-In Interest, Terra Nova is required to fund exploration and development expenditures (the “Earning Obligations”) totaling at least AUD$13,700,000 (USD$13,308,200) including:

  
AUD$4,700,000 (USD$4,968,000) which was placed in escrow during May 2012 for use in the completion of a seismic acquisition program sufficient to meet the minimum seismic acquisition requirements, and interpretation of the acquired data for PEL 112 and PEL 444 (earning a 20% working interest in each license upon completion of the seismic obligations);

  
AUD$4,500,000 (USD$4,670,000) which was placed in escrow on November 1, 2012 to secure Terra Nova’s obligation to sole fund the dry-hole costs of an initial three (3) well drilling program on either PEL 112 or PEL 444, provided that at least one well is drilled on each license (earning a working interest of 5.833% per well in each license upon completion, totaling a working interest of 17.5%); and

  
AUD$4,500,000 (USD$3,670,200) to be placed in escrow on or before 45 days following completion or abandonment of the third well in the initial well program, for use in funding the first AUD$4,500,000 in dry-hole costs of an optional three (3) well drilling program on either PEL 112 or PEL 444, provided that at least one well is drilled on each license (earning a working interest of 5.833% per well in each license upon completion, totaling a working interest of 17.5%).

Terra Nova acts as contract operator with respect to all seismic acquisition and drilling work contemplated by the Agreement.

Effective May 29, 2013, the Agreement was amended such that of the AUD$4,500,000 (USD$4,670,000) placed in escrow for the Initial Well Program, AUD$500,000 (USD$482,250) was used to pay costs incurred in the PEL 444 seismic program. Costs incurred in relation to the seismic earning obligations in excess of AUD$5,200,000 (previously AUD$4,700,000), have been borne by Terra Nova, the Company, ACOR and Sakhai in accordance with their working interest percentages calculated as though Terra Nova had successfully completed its Earning Obligations and earned the entire Farm-In Interest.

In July 2013, Terra Nova drilled the first well on PEL 112. The well was plugged and abandoned in August 2013. In the event Terra Nova elects to complete the second well drilled in connection with the initial three well drilling program, Terra Nova will pay 50% of the completion costs and the Company will pay the other 50% of the completion costs. In the event Terra Nova elects to complete the third well drilled in connection with the initial three well drilling program, or any well drilled in connection with the optional three well drilling program, Terra Nova will pay 50% of the completion costs, and the Company, and other interest holders will pay the other 50% of the completion costs in accordance with their working interest at the effective date of the Agreement.

 
38

 
 
In the event any well drilled in connection with either the initial or optional drilling programs is commercially viable, and Terra Nova elects to complete such well, Terra Nova is entitled to a preferential recovery of one hundred percent of the costs it has paid to drill and test that successful well. Terra Nova is entitled to 80% of production from that successful well until either that successful well has ceased production or Terra Nova has received net revenue equal to the reimbursable costs it has incurred. Terra Nova will need to drill the second well of the initial well program no later than January 11, 2016.

Terra Nova earns the Farm-In Interest in stages based upon successful completion of specific Earning Obligations. In each instance, the Company, and other interest holders will each contribute a portion of the working interest earned by Terra Nova. In the event Terra Nova earns the entire Farm-In Interest, the Company, and other interest holders will transfer to Terra Nova the following working interest percentages in both PEL 112 and PEL 444:

(a)  
The Company will contribute an undivided 38.556% working interest in both PEL 112 and PEL 444 (resulting in a residual working interest position of 28.112% in each license);
(b)  
Other interest holders will contribute an undivided 16.444% working interest in both PEL 112 and PEL 444; and

The Agreement may be terminated by any party upon the occurrence of an uncured breach of any material term. Terra Nova may terminate the Agreement any time before it has earned the Farm-In Interest upon providing written notice of such termination.

Cooper Basin Exploration Activity

Acquisition of 127 square kilometers of 3D seismic data on PEL 112 (the “Mulka Survey”) was completed in late September 2012. As a result, Terra Nova completed its seismic Earning Obligation with respect to PEL 112, and earned an undivided 20% working interest in that license. The Company, ACOR and Sakhai each contributed the following portion of the working interest earned to Terra Nova:

(a)  
The Company contributed an undivided 13.3334% working interest in PEL 112
(b)  
ACOR contributed an undivided 3.3333% working interest in PEL 112; and
(c)  
Sakhai contributed an undivided 3.3333% working interest in PEL 112.

On July 17, 2013, the Government of South Australia finalized and registered the transfer of the 20% working interest earned by Terra Nova in PEL 112.

On July 23, 2013, the Company spudded the Wolfman #1 exploration well on PEL 112. The well’s primary oil objective, the Namur Sandstone, was encountered at approximately 1,197 meters (3,927 feet) on August 6, 2013. Drilling continued to its secondary targets in the Birkhead formation and Hutton sandstones. Wolfman #1 reached Total Depth of 1,703 meters (5,587 feet), on August 7, 2013. No oil shows were observed while drilling in the primary and secondary oil objectives, and the well was plugged and abandoned. The entire cost of the well was paid by Terra Nova in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

Upon completion of Wolfman #1 Terra Nova earned an additional undivided 5.8333% working interest in PEL 112. The Company, ACOR and Sakhai each contributed the following portion of the working interest earned to Terra Nova:

(a)  
The Company contributed an undivided 4.8333% working interest in PEL 112 resulting in a residual working interest position of 48.5003% in that license;
(b)  
ACOR contributed an undivided 0.5000% working interest in PEL 112; and
(c)  
Sakhai contributed an undivided 0.5000% working interest in PEL 112.

On December 20, 2013, the Government of South Australia registered the transfer of the 5.8333% working interest earned by Terra Nova in PEL 112.

 
39

 
 
During November 2013, the Company applied for a five-year renewal of its license on PEL 112. In connection with its application, the Company offered to relinquish 1,110 square kilometers (274,287 acres) of the area covered by that license. On March 12, 2014, the Government of South Australia accepted the Company’s application and finalized its renewal of PEL 112. As a result, the Company now holds a 48.5003% working interest in PEL 112 until January 10, 2019.  The Company’s management believes the acreage relinquished in connection with this renewal was non-prospective, and intends to develop the prospects identified on its remaining acreage in that concession.

Acquisition of 80 square kilometers of 3D seismic data on PEL 444 (the “Wingman Survey”) began May 28, 2013 and was completed on July 2, 2013. During February 2014, Terra Nova finalized its interpretation of the Wingman Survey data and earned a 25.8333% working interest in PEL 444. The working interest earned by Terra Nova consisted of a 20% interest resulting from the completion of the Wingman Survey and a 5.8333% interest granted in connection with Terra Nova’s completion of the Wolfman #1 well. The Company, ACOR and Sakhai each contributed a portion of the working interest earned by Terra Nova as follows:
