NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

On June 14, 2011, the Company entered into agreements with Stranded Oil Resources Corporation (“SORC”) to seek recovery of stranded crude oil from mature, declining oil fields by using the enhanced oil recovery (“EOR”) method known as Underground Gravity Drainage (“UGD”). Such agreements include license agreements, management services agreements, and other agreements (collectively the “Agreements”). SORC is a subsidiary of Alleghany Capital Corporation (“Alleghany Capital”) which is a subsidiary of Alleghany Corporation (“Alleghany”).

The Agreements stipulate that the Company and Mark See, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), will provide to SORC, management services and expertise through exclusive, perpetual license agreements and a management services agreement with SORC. As consideration for the licenses to SORC, the Company will receive an interest in SORC’s net profits as defined in the Agreements (the “Royalty”). The Management Service Agreement (“MSA”) outlines that the Company will provide the services of key employees (“Key Persons”), including Mark See, in exchange for monthly and quarterly management service fees. The monthly and quarterly management service fees provide funding for the salaries, benefit costs, and FICA taxes for the Key Persons identified in the MSA. The quarterly management fee is $137,500 per quarter and is paid on the first day of each calendar quarter, and, as such, $45,833 has been recorded as deferred management fee revenue at February 28, 2015. In addition, SORC will reimburse the Company for monthly expenses incurred by the Key Persons in connection with their rendition of services under the MSA. The Company may submit written requests to SORC for additional funding for payment of the Company’s operating costs and expenses, which SORC, in its sole and absolute discretion, will determine whether or not to fund.

As consideration for the licenses to SORC, the Company will receive a 19.49% interest in SORC net profits as defined in the SORC License Agreement (the “SORC License Agreement”). Under the SORC License Agreement, the Company agreed that a portion of the Royalty equal to at least 2.25% of the net profits (“Incentive Royalty”) be used to fund a long term incentive plan for the benefit of its employees, as determined by the Company’s board of directors. On October 11, 2012, the Laredo Royalty Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was approved and adopted by the Board and the Incentive Royalty was assigned by the Company to Laredo Royalty Incentive Plan, LLC, a special purpose Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Laredo Oil, Inc. formed to carry out the purposes of the Plan (the “Plan Entity”). Through February 28, 2015 the subsidiary has had no activity. As a result of the assignment of the Incentive Royalty to the Plan Entity, the Royalty retained by the Company has been reduced from 19.49% to 17.24% subject to reduction to 15% under certain events stipulated in the SORC License Agreement. Additionally, in the event of a SORC initial public offering or certain other defined corporate events, the Company will receive 17.24%, subject to reduction to 15% under the SORC License Agreement, of the SORC common equity or proceeds emanating from the event in exchange for termination of the Royalty. Under certain circumstances regarding termination of exclusivity and license terminations, the Royalty could be reduced to 7.25%. If any Incentive Royalty is funded as a result of those conditions being met, the Company may record compensation expense for the fair value of the Incentive Royalty, once all pertinent factors are known and considered probable.

Prior to the Company receiving any Royalty cash distributions from SORC, all SORC preferred share accrued dividends must be paid, preferred shares redeemed, and debt retired to comply with any loan agreements. Additionally, when SORC acquires additional oil fields, any Alleghany Capital funds invested into SORC to finance their acquisition and development must be repaid prior to the distribution of any Royalty cash distributions to Laredo.

Basic and Diluted Net Income/(Loss) per Share

The Company’s basic earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts have been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. As the Company realized a net loss for the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, respectively, no potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their impact would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has no significant operating history as of February 28, 2015, and has a net loss of $546,106 for the nine months ended February 28, 2015. The Company entered into the Agreements with SORC to fund operations and to provide working capital. However, there is no assurance that in the future such financing will be available to meet the Company’s needs.

Management has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include (a) providing services and expertise under the Agreements to expand operations; and (b) controlling overhead and expenses. In that regard, the Company has worked to attract and retain key personnel with significant experience in the industry to enhance the quality and breadth of the services it provides. At the same time, in an effort to control costs, the Company has required a number of its personnel to multi-task and cover a wider range of responsibilities in an effort to restrict the growth of the Company’s headcount at a time of expanding demand for its services under the MSA. Further, the Company works closely with SORC to obtain its approval in advance of committing to material costs and expenditures in order to keep the Company’s expenses in line with the management fee revenue. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully accomplish these steps and it is uncertain that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN - continued

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - RECENT AND ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting standards and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it. It does not expect the adoption of those standards to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's financial instruments as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825-10-50, Financial Instruments, include cash, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, warrant liabilities and notes payable. All instruments, with the exception of the warrant liabilities which are measured at fair value, are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at February 28, 2015. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities, the fair value of long term notes payable approximates the carrying value.

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“FASB ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date and requires consideration of the counterparty’s creditworthiness when valuing certain assets.

The three level fair value hierarchies for disclosure of fair value measurements defined by FASB ASC 820 are as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. An active market is defined as a market where transactions for the financial instrument occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. Valuation under level 3 generally involves a significant degree of judgment from management.

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.

The Company has warrant liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at February 28, 2015 and 2014. The Company recorded a gain on revaluation of warrant liability of $80,347 and $337,666 for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2015. The Company recorded a gain on revaluation of warrant liability of $58,317 for the three months ended February 28, 2014 and a loss on revaluation of warrant liability of $67,695 for the nine months ended February 28, 2014. The Company measures the fair value of the warrant liabilities using the Black Scholes method. Inputs used to determine fair value under this method include the Company’s stock price volatility and expected remaining life as disclosed in Note 6.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 28, 2015 and May 31, 2014:

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

Current Liability	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Warrant Liabilities – February 28, 2015	$	-	$	298,762	$	-	$	298,762
Warrant Liabilities – May 31, 2014	$	-	$	636,428	$	-	$	636,428

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions between related parties are considered to be related party transactions even though they may not be given accounting recognition. FASB ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures (“FASB ASC 850”) requires that transactions with related parties that would make a difference in decision making shall be disclosed so that users of the financial statements can evaluate their significance. Related party transactions typically occur within the context of the following relationships:

●	Affiliates of the entity;

●	Entities for which investments in their equity securities are typically accounted for under the equity method by the investing entity;

●	Trusts for the benefit of employees;

●	Principal owners of the entity and members of their immediate families; and

●	Management of the entity and members of their immediate families;

Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

SORC and Alleghany Capital are considered related parties under FASB ASC 850. All management fee revenue reported by the Company for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2015 and 2014 is generated from charges to SORC. All outstanding notes payable at February 28, 2015 and May 31, 2014 are held by Alleghany Capital. See Note 7.

NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT

Share Based Compensation

The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options granted under our stock incentive plan.

The following table summarizes share-based compensation:

	Nine Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	February 28, 2015		February 28, 2014
Share-based compensation:
General, selling and administrative expenses	$	335,110	$	340,279
Consulting and professional services		145,974		41,110
		481,084		381,389
Share-based compensation by type of award:
Stock options		458,584		340,279
Restricted stock		22,500		41,110
	$	481,084	$	381,389

Stock Options

Stock options were exercised for net proceeds of $6,500 during the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, resulting in the issuance of 26,000 shares of common stock.

On August 8, 2013, the Company granted 1,540,000 stock options to employees with an exercise price of $0.25 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant. The options vest monthly over three years beginning September 1, 2013 and expire on August 8, 2023. The grant date fair value of this employee stock option grant amounted to approximately $380,000. The assumptions used in calculating these values were based on an estimated contractual life of 7.0 years, volatility of 187% and a 1.98% risk free

interest rate at the date of grant.

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT - continued

On November 22, 2013, the Company granted 800,000 stock options to an employee and 400,000 stock options to an independent contractor with an exercise price of $0.36 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant. The options vest monthly over three years beginning December 1, 2013 and expire on November 22, 2023. The grant date fair value of this employee stock option grant amounted to approximately $427,000. The assumptions used in calculating these values were based on an estimated contractual life of 7.0 years, volatility of 186% and a 2.1% risk free interest rate at the date of grant.

On January 2, 2015, the Company granted 1,100,000 stock options to a member of the board of directors with an exercise price of $0.38 per share, the fair market value on the date of grant. The options vest monthly over three years beginning February 2, 2015 and expire on January 2, 2025. The grant date fair value of this employee stock option grant amounted to approximately $432,000. The assumptions used in calculating these values were based on an estimated contractual life of 7.0 years, volatility of 177%, a dividend yield of zero and a 1.92% risk free interest rate at the date of grant.

Restricted Stock

No restricted stock was granted during the first nine months of fiscal year 2015. In August 2013, the three independent board members were each granted 50,000 restricted shares which vest in equal annual installments over three years beginning on the grant date. During the 4th quarter of fiscal year 2014, one of the independent board members resigned from their position resulting in a forfeiture of 50,000 restricted shares causing a $2,000 reduction to consulting and professional services expense.

The fair value of the restricted stock granted is the market value as of the respective grant date since the restricted stock is granted at no cost to the directors. The grant date fair value of restricted stock granted during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $37,500, using $0.25 per share.

Warrants

No warrants were issued during the first nine months of fiscal year 2015 or 2014. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, warrants for 62,500 shares were exercised in a cashless share transaction resulting in the issuance of 42,164 shares.

All outstanding warrants are currently exercisable.

During fiscal year 2011, the Company issued warrants to purchase 975,000 shares of common stock in connection with a stock purchase agreement. These warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of the Company’s Private Placement. The exercise price of each warrant is equal to the lesser of the stock price in a future financing arrangement, or $0.25. Accordingly, these warrants contain anti-dilution provisions that adjust the exercise price of the warrants in the event additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock are issued by the Company at a price less than the then applicable exercise price of the warrants. Pursuant to FASB ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, these warrants are treated as a liability measured at fair value at inception, with the calculated increase or decrease in fair value each quarter being recognized in the Statement of Operations. The fair value of the warrants was determined during the nine months ending February 28, 2015 and 2014 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions:

	2015			2014

Risk-free interest rates		0.09	%			0.28	%
Contractual life	0.8 years				1.65 years
Expected volatility		122.9	%			202.4	%
Dividend yield		0	%			0	%

The interest is payable in either cash or in kind. The notes have been amended and restated and now have a maturity date of December 31, 2015 and are classified as short term notes payable. The loan agreements require any stock issuances for cash be utilized to pay down the outstanding loan balance unless written consent is obtained from Alleghany Capital.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, warrants to purchase 332,500 shares of common stock were exercised in a combination of cash and cashless share transactions resulting in the issuance of 174,408 shares.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. We use words such as "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "expect", "future", "intend", and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. Investors should be aware that all forward-looking statements contained within this filing are good faith estimates of management as of the date of this filing. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

The Company is a management services company managing the acquisition and conventional operation of mature oil fields and the further recovery of stranded oil from those fields using enhanced oil recovery methods for its sole customer, SORC, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Alleghany. See “Item 1. Business” in the Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2014 for a discussion of our business and our transactions with SORC. The sole source of revenue for the Company comes from the management fees described in the MSA and from a Royalty based upon the success of SORC. As of February 28, 2015, no royalties have been accrued or paid.

As of February 28, 2015, Alleghany Capital had a net investment of approximately $208.3 million into SORC. This investment is primarily being channeled into three major projects located in separate states. The projects are listed in order of acquisition, but not necessarily in order of when work may commence on UGD projects if and when approved by the SORC board of directors.

The first project is located in Kansas. SORC funds there have been used to acquire oil and gas leases and to purchase mineral rights totaling approximately 2,500 acres and used to construct and develop a UGD facility. In January 2013, permits were issued by the Kansas Corporation Commission (“KCC”) to begin work on the project. On January 12, 2015, SORC declared a unit covering approximately 1,560 acres, and as of February 28, 2015, well bores were being drilled and equipment, designs, procedures and systems were being evaluated and modified where necessary. As of the end of the quarter, no crude oil sales from the facility had occurred due to ongoing drilling activities and system optimization. There is a time lag between drilling, production and sales.

The second project is located in Louisiana. SORC has acquired oil and gas leases on approximately 9,240 acres in a targeted oil reservoir there. Negotiations continue to acquire additional mineral rights and leases in that oil field, and the Company believes that mineral rights underlying sufficient acreage are already in place to develop another UGD project there. The Company, on behalf of SORC, is currently operating those leases acquired. The Company has assessed the geological data concerning the oil reservoir there and will begin implementing the UGD recovery method if and when approved by the SORC board of directors.

The third project is located in Wyoming. On January 30, 2015, SORC, through one of its subsidiaries, purchased the Department of Energy's Naval Petroleum Reserve Number 3 (NPR-3), the Teapot Dome Oilfield, for $45.2 million. The purchase culminated a competitive bidding process that closed on October 16, 2014. Under the terms of the sale, upon closing of the transaction, operation and ownership of all of NPR-3’s mineral rights and approximately 9,000 acres of land immediately transferred to SORC. The remaining surface acreage is scheduled to be transferred in May, bringing the total acres purchased to 9,318. The oil field there is operational and currently producing crude oil using conventional production methods.

When SORC acquires mineral rights, it generally will continue to operate any producing properties associated with those rights and expects to generate revenue and profit from doing so. Some mineral rights acquired thus far include leases which have producing wells on them. For those fields, once development of the underground chamber is complete, the UGD method is prepared for operation, and production has begun, selected conventional wells are expected to be plugged and abandoned. The effect of such operational procedures should result in minimal disruption of oil production from the SORC field investments.

In accordance with the terms of the Agreements, the Company has agreed with SORC that it will not acquire for its own account any fields associated with UGD development.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In accordance with the SORC license and management services agreements, the Company believes that it will receive from SORC sufficient working capital necessary to meet its obligations under the Agreements. The Company provides the know-how, expertise, and management required to identify, evaluate, acquire, test and develop targeted properties, and SORC will provide all required funding and will own the acquired assets. It is expected that SORC will be funded primarily by Alleghany Capital in exchange for issuance by SORC to Alleghany Capital of 12% Cumulative Preferred Stock. In April 2014, one of the SORC subsidiaries obtained a $250 million non-recourse secured bank credit facility to provide it with a lower cost source of funding as compared to the cost of funds received from Alleghany Capital. As of February 28, 2015, SORC had $6.55 million of borrowings under the facility, its current borrowing capacity, which is limited to the value of properties included in the borrowing base as determined by the lending institution. As of February 28, 2015, SORC had received $208.3 million in net funding from Alleghany Capital. Prior to the Company receiving any Royalty cash distributions from SORC, all SORC preferred share accrued dividends must be paid, preferred shares redeemed, and debt retired to comply with any loan agreements. Additionally, when SORC acquires additional oil fields, any Alleghany Capital funds invested into SORC to finance their acquisition and development must be repaid prior to the distribution of any Royalty cash distributions to Laredo. With such uncertainty, Royalty cash distributions are not foreseen in the near future and the main source of income for the Company will continue to be the management fee revenue under the MSA.

Our cash and cash equivalents at February 28, 2015 was $70,366. Total debt outstanding as of the filing date of this report is $350,000 owed to Alleghany Capital, which is classified as short-term.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

Results of Operations

Pursuant to the MSA with SORC, the Company received and recorded management fee revenue and direct costs totaling $2,636,486 and $2,829,375 for the quarter ended February 28, 2015 and $974,398 and $875,582 for the quarter ended February 28, 2014. Similarly, the Company received and recorded management fee revenue and direct costs totaling $6,040,479 and $6,059,354 for the nine months ended February 28, 2015 and $2,443,246 and $2,267,072 for the nine months ended February 28, 2014. The increase in revenues and direct costs is primarily attributable to an increase in employees for both the three and nine months ended February 28, 2015 as compared to the same three and nine months of last year.

During the quarters ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, respectively, we incurred operating expenses of $249,899 and $273,503. The Company incurred operating expenses of $845,581 and $687,405 during the nine months ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These expenses consisted of general operating expenses incurred in connection with the day to day operation of our business, the preparation and filing of our required reports and stock option compensation expense. The increase in expenses for the quarter ended February 28, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 is primarily attributable to the increased rent.

Due to the nature of the Agreements, the Company is relatively unaffected by the impact of inflation. Usually, when general price inflation occurs, the price of crude oil increases as well, which may have a positive effect on sales. However, as the price of oil increases, it also most likely will result in making targeted oil fields more expensive.

Further, for the quarters ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, respectively, the Company experienced a gain on revaluation of warrant liability of $80,347 and $58,317. For the nine months ended February 28, 2015 and 2014, respectively, the Company experienced a gain on revaluation of warrant liability of $337,666 and a loss on revaluation of warrant liability of $67,695. The changes on revaluation during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2015 and the three months ended February 28, 2014 are due to a decrease in the common stock price, as well as a change in the exercise price on certain warrants, whereas the changes on revaluation during the nine months ended February 28, 2014 are due to an increase in the common stock price and the change in the exercise price on certain warrants.

The Company’s operating loss will continue to be affected by changes of value of the warrant liability associated with the Sutter and Seaside warrants which contain price-protection provisions. Those warrants will be outstanding until they are either exercised or expire in July 2015.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The process of preparing financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and stockholders’ equity/(deficit) at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates primarily relate to revaluation of warrants 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 the valuation of warrants.

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.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not currently have any off balance sheet arrangements or other such unrecorded obligations, and we have not guaranteed the debt of any other party.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure to market risk is confined to our cash equivalents. We invest in high-quality financial instruments and we believe we are subject to limited credit risk. Due to the short-term nature of our cash, we do not believe that we have any material exposure to interest rate risk arising from our investments.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in insuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties. Therefore, it is difficult to effectively segregate accounting duties which comprises a material weakness in internal controls. This lack of segregation of duties leads management to conclude that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

None.
