PART I

Item 1. Business.

Our Company

Norris Industries, Inc. (“NRIS” or the “Company”) (formerly International Western Petroleum, Inc.) was incorporated on February 19, 2014, as a Nevada corporation and is headquartered in Irving, Texas. The Company was formed to conduct operations in the oil and gas industry, and currently focuses on the acquisition, development, and exploration of crude oil and natural gas properties in Texas. On May 4, 2015, the Company acquired significant working interests from the Bend Arch Lion 1A and the Bend Arch Lion 1B Joint Ventures in Coleman County of Texas, encompassing a total production of 7 producing oil and gas wells on a total of 380 acres out of 777-acre leaseholds showing proven recoverable reserves of approximately 416.34 Mbbl and 317.45 MMcf as of March 1, 2017. We believe that the Bend Arch Lion 1A and 1B Joint Ventures are parts of the total 777-acre leaseholds that have not been fully explored. In fiscal year 2018, the Company, together with its affiliated operator; International Western Oil Corporation (“IWO”), has undertaken basic maintenance of the oil and gas wells, with a total of 8 gross wells in production in the Midland area. The Company also manages the 45-acre Marshall Walden joint venture with 8 Woodbine Sand oil wells in Kilgore City, Texas, and acquired a 640-acre leasehold with 3 oil wells (non-producing) from the multi-zone Ratliff property in King County, thus setting a foothold in the Eastern Permian Basin of Texas. The Company, in fiscal year 2018, also purchased producing oil and gas mineral leases on December 28, 2017, in the Texas counties of Jack & Palo-Pinto in North Central Western part of Texas. The lease was for 20 oil & gas wells on 2,790 gross acres with majority working and operating interest with daily production of 50+ BOE (barrels of oil equivalent). Currently, NRIS holds approximately 4,200 total gross acres in leaseholds in various areas of North Central Texas region. The Company plans to acquire additional leaseholds in the future.

The Company underwent a change of control in July 2017, when Patrick Norris, and his affiliate JBB Partners (“JBB”) acquired the majority of ownership of the Company and provided loans and equity funding for the oil/gas mineral rights purchases and covering the operational expenses of Company.

The Company will, from time to time, seek strategic investors and other funding to help it develop additional exploration and acquisition projects located within the Bend Arch-Fort Worth Basin and other prime acquisition targets in the Central West, South and East Texas.

Our Business Strategy

We are an Exploration & Production (“E&P”) oil and natural gas company that focuses on the acquisition, development, and exploration of crude oil and natural gas properties in Texas. The Company is currently managed by business and oil and gas exploration veterans who specialize in the oil and gas acquisition and exploration markets of the Central West Texas region. The Company’s goal is to tap into the high potential leases of the Central West Texas region of the United States, aiming to unlock its potential, specifically in the prolific Bend Arch-Fort Worth region. This area is approximately 120 miles long and 40 miles wide running from Archer County, Texas in the north to Brown County, Texas in the south. The Company is also looking at other acquisition opportunities in the Permian Basin, West Texas, East Texas and South Texas region.

Management believes that focusing on the development of existing small producing fields is one of the key differentiators of the Company. Oil and natural gas reserve development is a technologically oriented industry. Management believes that the use of current technology has greatly increased the success rate of finding commercial oil or natural gas deposits. In this context, success means the ability to make an oil/gas well that produces a commercialized quantity of hydrocarbons. In general, the Company expects to conduct 3D Seismic surveys to determine more accurate drilling locations and drilling depths beside its initial georadiometry technology application via its last 10 drilling projects. For short-term cash flow enhancement, the Company plans to seek large-reserve oil and gas properties with low production to acquire at the lowest cost possible and then implement effective Enhanced Oil Recovery (“EOR”) methods to improve its current revenues and assets. For long-term cash flow enhancement, the Company plans to identify larger and more mature production opportunities while selecting capital partners to buyout via the Company’s strategic joint venture partnerships, thus significantly increasing production via additional drilling and state-of-the-art EOR implementations.

The Company’s long-term objective is to increase shareholder value by growing reserves, production and cash flow.

The Company is currently listed on the OTCQB marketplace of OTC Link as an E&P oil and gas company. The Company intends to upgrade to a senior US stock exchange in the future.

To accomplish this objective, we plan to execute the following business strategies:

Develop and Grow Our Hydrocarbon Rich Resource-Style Acreage Positions Using Our Proven Development Expertise. We plan to continue to seek and acquire high quality assets in hydrocarbon-rich resource plays to improve our asset quality and expand our drilling inventory. We plan to leverage our management team’s expertise and apply the latest available EOR technologies to economically develop our existing property portfolio in Central West and East Texas in addition to any assets in other regions we may acquire. We operate the majority of our acreage, thus giving us certain control over the planning of capital expenditures, execution and cost reduction. Our carefully planned operation also allows us to adjust our capital spending based on drilling results and the economic environment. Our leasehold acquisition strategy is to pursue long-term contracts that allow us to maintain flexible development plans and avoid short-term obligations to drill wells, as have been common in other resource plays. As a small producer, we regionally evaluate industry drilling results and implement technologically effective operating practices which may increase our initial production rates, ultimate recovery factors and rate of return on invested capital.

Manage Our Property Portfolio Proactively. We constantly evaluate our properties to identify and divest non-core assets and higher cost or lower volume producing properties with limited developmental potential, thus enabling us to focus on a portfolio of core properties with the greatest economic potential to increase our proved reserves and production.

Acquire Small Producing Companies with Compelling Underlying Values. We identify acquisition opportunities of exploration and production companies with underlying assets to unlock the development potential and accelerate production using new technologies and capital infusion from capital partners.

Maintain Good Balance Sheet and Execute Growth Plan. Our management team is focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet with borrowing capacity and access to capital markets, aiming to provide us with sufficient liquidity to execute our growth in assets and revenues.

Our operation strategy is to identify “prime time” hydrocarbon land leases in Texas with in-depth studies and develop proven reserves via drilling new wells and re-entering existing low production wells to maximize production and enhance valuation of our production assets. We also plan to position the Company in the international marketplace as a petroleum expert in the United States to partner up with multinational oil and gas players after establishing our new presence in the Permian Basin of Texas and applying current exploration technology on our new leases.

Based upon management’s petroleum exploration experience, geology expertise, and ability to identify high potential acreage and high production fields, management believes that the Company’s near future valuation as a public company is attractive.

Our Competitive Strengths

Management believes that we have a number of competitive strengths that will allow us to successfully execute our business strategies:

Simple Capital Structure. We have a simple capital structure and de-risked inventory of quality locations with what we believe is upside potential to take advantage of the current recovery of oil prices to acquire potential production at reasonable cost. Management believes there are opportunities for profits to be made now that oil prices appear to have stabilized and if they continue to gradually rise higher.

Visionary Management Team. With experience in all aspects of the development of resource plays, our management team includes a 4th generation oil man and oil field supplier with business skills that have decades of combined experience in the industry and a commitment of creating shareholder value via acquisition strategies. We also consult with geologists, engineers, and other professionals to execute on our business vision.

Low Risk Exploration Practice. Unlike many major oil companies that often drill very deep wells with a high degree of risk, we focus on shallow well exploration (sub 5,000 feet) that is less expensive and has lower risk factors. The basis for management’s belief that the wells that can be drilled in the prospective leases will have the capacity to produce a reasonable amount of hydrocarbon and due to our recent studies of the general areas where we are prospecting the projects. That is our most important exploration practice.

Under The Radar Asset Base. Management believes our local West Texas E&P team has a special talent in acquiring local “prime time” hydrocarbon land leases with sub-300 barrels of oil per day (“bopd”) wells that have large hydrocarbon reserves. Management believes that these “under the radar” prospective leases have multi-year drilling inventory and reasonable production history with high upside potential and not readily accessible to the public for auctions, thus adding to our competitive advantage on these “under the radar” opportunities. It is because management also believes that these highly valuable leases are not economically justifiable for the major oil and gas companies in the region because such companies need the wells they drill to produce at least 300 barrels (“Bbls”) of oil per day per well.

Geographic Diversity. We believe that our geographic diversity encompassing the West, Central West, East and South Texas regions provides us with broad flexibility to direct our capital resources to projects with the greatest potential returns and access to multiple key end markets, which mitigates our exposure to temporary price dislocations in any one market.

Strong Technical Team. Our technical team has significant experience and expertise in applying current technologies and techniques used in conventional and unconventional resource style plays, including 3-D seismic interpretation, vertical and horizontal drilling, comprehensive multi-stage hydraulic fracture stimulation programs, other oilfield service, and enhanced oil recovery technologies. We believe this technical expertise is partly responsible for our management team’s strong track record of successful exploration and development, including defining core producing areas in emerging plays.

Technologies

Oil and natural gas reserve development is a technologically oriented industry; many techniques developed by the industry are now used in other industries, including the space program. Management believes that technological innovations have made it possible for the oil and natural gas industry to furnish the fuels that power the world economy. Management also believes that technology has greatly increased the success rate of finding commercial oil or natural gas deposits. In this context, success rate means the ability to make an oil/gas well that can produce a commercialized quantity of hydrocarbon.

Georadiometry

The use of 3-D Hydrocarbon Imaging brought georadiometric technology into the cutting edge of identifying and quantifying oil reservoirs and reserves with sophisticated field equipment and software integration abilities that aided explorers in locating oil and gas leasehold reserves. All specific drilling recommendations and opinions are based upon the technical results of inferences from global positioning satellites, electrical, and gamma ray devices and calibrated measurements based on georadiometric technology. 3-D Hydrocarbon Imaging rivals conventional seismic and downhole logging for reserve identification. This technology goes beyond conventional techniques in both arenas of cost and reserve identification and has been leveraged to meet the needs of the industry. 3-D Hydrocarbon Imaging has taken historical radiometric technology to a more complete and reliable level today. Historical documentation of radiometric’s success ratio and interpretation average above 90% in its accuracy. To date, this radiometry technology has demonstrated that it has clearly improved on this with its thoroughness in gathering field data and applying its sophisticated computer modeling and interpretation.

Hydrocarbon Satellite Imaging

Hydrocarbon survey maps are generated from several data sources downloaded from scientific instruments installed on Earth orbit satellites. These instruments are designed to retrieve physical data from outer space as well as from the Earth. Instruments installed on the satellites include, for our use, Radar, Infrared (Temperature), Radiation (Radiometrics), Dialectic Potential (Tellurics), Ionization, and Geo-Magnetics. These data sets are stacked and embedded into each data stream that result in the final map interpretation. All of these exploration techniques can be done separately with land-based tools but with the use of satellites it is possible to cover much larger areas more economically.

Directional Drilling

Drilling technology has come a long way over the years. Among the most recent advancements in drilling are Rotary Steerable tools which allow three-dimensional control of the bit without stopping the drill string. One of the benefits of this technology is increasing the exposed section throughout the target reservoir by drilling through it at an angle. Directional drilling also allows drilling into reservoirs where vertical access is difficult or not possible; for instance, an oilfield under a town, lake, or hard to drill through formation.

Fracturing Technology

Fracturing technology allows the industry to get more oil or natural gas out of each deposit that it finds. Newer stimulation technologies, completion treatment fluids, and enhanced recovery techniques enable the oil or natural gas to move more easily to producing well bores. Hydraulic fracturing techniques create small cracks from the well bore into the reservoir rock. A “proppant” (usually sand), is then pumped into the formation to keep the fractures open. These fractures serve as a “highway” for the hydrocarbons to be produced. Horizontal-drilling technologies allow the reservoir to be penetrated horizontally rather than vertically, opening more of the reservoir to the well bore and enhancing recovery. “Acidizing”, is another stimulation technique that is frequently used in carbonate (limestone, dolomite) reservoirs to increase porosity, permeability and to enhance recovery. Sometimes the techniques of fracturing and acidizing are combined in an “acid-frac job” resulting in increased production. Secondary and tertiary recovery techniques can include “water flood” which utilizes water injection wells to push oil from partially depleted reservoirs to recovery wells. CO2 injection wells pressure up the depleted reservoir for the same purpose of increasing production.

At NRIS, we focus on Geoscience along with understanding complex mineralogy in shale reservoirs and better determining zones prone to fracture stimulation. This technology strongly suggests where to frack by providing us with rapidly available data while delivering game changing levels of collaboration: multi-well, multi-user and multi interpreter. Our field engineers, geologists and petrophysicists work together for better drilling decisions.

Reservoir Estimate

As of March 1, 2017, our estimated gross proved oil and natural gas reserves, as prepared by our independent reserve engineering firm, Ralph E. Davis, an Opportune Company, using SEC prices of $43.05 per Bbl of oil and $1.55 per Mcf of natural gas, were 416.34MBbl of oil and 317.45MMcf of natural gas. Approximately 41.5% of our oil reserves and 36.3% of our natural gas reserves were classified as proved producing and proved behind pipe categories as of March 1, 2017.

As of March 1, 2018, our estimated gross proved oil and natural gas reserves, as prepared by our independent reserve engineering firm, Bryant M. Mook, PE, using SEC prices of $53.49 per Bbl of oil and $3.00 per Mcf of natural gas, increased to 275 MBbl of oil and 4,915 MMcf of natural gas. As result of new lease purchases from funding made available from our majority owner, we include 100% of our net oil reserves and 100% of our net natural gas reserves that were classified as proved producing but chose to only add a small portion of value from the proved not producing (“PDNP”) category as of March 1, 2018, while the Company chose to eliminate prior values carried for its Proved Undeveloped (“PUD”) reserves.

Sales Strategy

Abilene, Texas, is the closest city with oil handling and sales firms. Our sales strategy in relation to spot pricing will be to produce less when the sales price is lower and produce more when the sales price is higher. To maintain the lowest production cost, we will aim to have our inventory be virtually zero. Our E&P core team has business relationships with BML, Transport Oil, Lion Oil Trading & Transportation, for oil sales as well as WTG Jameson for gas sales. The Company has selected to enter into material agreements with BML, Lion Oil and WTG Jameson so that, as our tier 1 buyer, they can handle pick-up and sales of our crude oil stock to refineries and gas via local gas pipelines.

As such, crude oil will be picked up from our leases as needed during the calendar month. At the end of the month the crude total sales will be tallied by lease and the 30-day average of the daily closing of oil will be tabulated. On or about the 25th of the following month the proceeds checks will be issued to the financial parties of record.

Operational Plans

During fiscal year 2017, the Company was actively looking for large-reserve oil and gas concessions with existing production to acquire and continue to raise enough capital via equity financing options to meet its operational goal in fiscal year 2018.

Based on management’s general management and petroleum exploration experience as well as its geology expertise, the Company believes it has the ability to identify high potential acreage and high production fields.

The Company has recently shifted its E&P plan on regional acquisition(s) to a focus in the Permian Basin region. This region has been producing oil continuously for nearly 100 years and the U.S. Geological Survey (“USGS”) has recently announced that this region has the largest estimate of continuous oil that it has ever assessed. Our area of interest is production locations within the Wolfcamp shale in the Midland Basin portion of the Texas Permian Basin where the USGS estimates that there are 20 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil.

The Company has instigated a new acquisition model which is based on:

Since the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company has reviewed several acquisition candidates in the greater West Permian Basin, Central and South Texas regions. After identifying any new prospect, additional research and evaluation was carried out using our personal contacts, geologists, 3D seismic, satellite hydrocarbon imaging, production data and other available resources to glean information and data in order to make an acquisition decision. Our operational plan after each acquisition is to increase production of the acquired oil and gas properties using current technologies with a designated budget pre-approved by the Company’s senior management team. In December 2017, the Company acquired certain leases in Jack County and Palo Pinto County in Texas (discussed further below).

The Company has plans to design a cost effective operating budget for each exploration project associated with an acquisition project and each budget will vary depending on the total depth of drilling and whether it is a new drilling or a re-entry. For each project, the Company plans on hiring selected operators to work under the close supervision of a core team of Company geologists, engineers and scientists.

The exploration and production process is a two-phase process: 1) drilling and testing and 2) well completion. The Company plans to hire drilling specialists and technical consultants designated to oversee the drilling and reentering of existing holes for each well during the drilling and testing phase. For the well completion process, the Company plans to hire technical data collectors and cementing operators to ensure the best performance upon perforating the wells at different pay zones based on thorough technical advisory work done by our internal and external production personnel and geologists before production.

The Company also applies selective leading edge EOR technologies from technology vendors to improve existing production after each future acquisition.

Completed Acquisitions with Production Enhancement Programs

To date, the Company has prospected and completed several exploration and acquisition projects:

The Bend Arch Lion 1A JV, Coleman County, TX:

This drilling joint venture is a 160-acre leasehold having four producing wells which have been drilled by our Texas-based operating partner International Western Oil. This field has been surveyed with high quality proven reserves encompassing several pay zones highlighted by the Gray Sand, the Palo Pinto, and in some instances the Ellenburger pay zone. On May 4, 2015, the Company acquired a 39.5% working interest from IWO in the Bend Arch Lion 1A Joint Venture (the Pittard Bend Arch White property encompassing 160 acres – State ID# 21488) (the “1A Venture”.) By acquiring these working interests, the Company directly receives the share of working interest revenue (after accounting for applicable taxes, expenses, and landowner royalties) IWO was receiving prior to the acquisitions.

As of February 28, 2018, the 1A Venture property had four (4) gross oil and gas wells (1.58 net wells). The initial production of this property started in April 2014.

Management plans to review and determine how best to implement a production improvement program on several of its wells including the Bend Arch Lion 1A and others. As a result of recent studies that show accessible proven reserves in several pay zones highlighted by the Gray Sand and the Ellenburger pay zones, management believes its production improvement program can offer an increase from the current production of these fields by re-completing certain pay zones with either standard acidizing jobs, a new EOR method, or reentering and fixing equipment in areas that have become declining wellbores.

The Bend Arch Lion 1B JV, Coleman County, TX:

This drilling joint venture is a 220-acre leasehold having 6 new producing wells which have been drilled by our Texas-based operating partner International Western Oil. In May 2015, the Company acquired working interests of this leasehold which has been surveyed with high quality proven reserves encompassing several pay zones highlighted by the Gray Sand and in some instances the Ellenburger pay zone. At the moment, the leasehold has 3 producing wells coming from the Gray Sand formation and 3 producing wells coming from the Ellenberger formation. On May 4, 2015, the Company acquired 46% working interest in the Bend Arch Lion 1B Joint Venture (the Pittard Bend Arch Red property encompassing 220 acres - State ID# 13121) (the “1B Venture”).

As of February 28, 2018, the 1B Venture property had six (6) gross oil and gas wells (3 net wells). The initial production of this property started in March 2015.

Management plans to determine how best to implement a production improvement program on the Bend Arch Lion 1B as the result of our prior in-depth studies that show accessible proven reserves in several pay zones highlighted by the Gray Sand pay zone and the Ellenburger pay zone. Management believes this can offer a potential increase from the current production of this field by re-completing certain Gray Sand pay zone with either standard acidizing jobs or a new EOR method and entering the virgin Gray Sand pay zone or increasing pumping efficiency in the Ellenburger pay zone in certain declining wellbores.

The Marshall Walden JV, Kilgore City, TX:

As of July 29, 2016, the Company served as the managing venturer in a 45-acre joint venture with Odyssey Enterprises LLC which has financed the Marshall Walden joint venture for the lease purchase and optimization of wells located in Kilgore, Texas, in the heart of the Woodbine formation. There are 8 wellbores in the acquisition, with 4 currently in production and 4 inactive. During the year ended February 28, 2018, the Company completed a re-work of several inactive wellbores and plans to upgrade to a new pump set up to enhance oil production levels. Management believes that this Marshall Walden acquisition put a solid foundation in place for the Company in the East Texas region.

As of February 28, 2018, the Marshall Walden property had six (6) gross oil and gas wells (0.6 net wells) which are active, plus two (2) injection wells. The initial production of this property started in September 2016.

The Ratliff Property, King County, TX:

As of December 6, 2016, the Company acquired, in a series of payments that totaled $100,000, a 640 acres oil and gas lease and also 3D Seismic data for 340-acres of the leasehold acreage acquired in King County, Texas. This acquisition represented a 100% working interest with 70% net revenue interest on leasehold acreages in King County, Texas, with additional options to lease up to 800 acres of adjoining acreage with 3D seismic data. The 640-acre leasehold comes with an existing tank facility for the production of oil, natural gas, and water. There is also a full injection wellbore set in place that is equipped. There have been five (5) wellbores drilled on this lease dating back to the 1970s, and these previous wellbores ranged from 4800ft – 6200ft in total depth, with three (3) different prolific hydrocarbon formations.

Management believes that this acquisition created an initial small foothold for us in the Eastern Permian Basin. Within depth studying of the 3D seismic data, we believe there are up to eight (8) proven undeveloped locations (“PUDs”) throughout the lease’s acreage. Management also believes that the Company can best take full advantage of the complete 3D Seismic data available and should be able to drill wellbores in favorable locations. The Company plans to drill a test pilot hole in order to obtain Ellenbuger pay zone samples and complete the Canyon Reef pay zone at 6,700ft on one wellbore and access a full log review to determine if there is a window to drill a horizontal leg. The Company also plans to turn on 3 wellbores that are producers via extended re-entry method. As of February 28, 2018, the Ratliff property had minimal production but had substantial value in several proved developed not producing (“PDNP”) wells based on the Company’s year-end reserve analysis.

The Stuart Leases of Jack and Palo-Pinto Counties Property

The Jack Palo-Pinto County Stuart Oil Leases were purchased on December 28, 2017 for $1,600,000 in cash and have twenty (20) gross oil and gas wells (15 net wells) which the management is operating production on its properties and produced well over 1,500 gross barrels of oil equivalent since the purchase date until February 28, 2018.

The data below is based on the SEC Non-Escalated Analysis of Estimated Proved Reserve of the Jack -Palo Pinto associated leases as well as the Bend Arch Lion 1A and Bend Arch Lion 1B, and Marshall-Walden leaseholds in which the Company has certain minority interests. As of March 1, 2018, this evaluation report was prepared by an independent third-party Bryant M. Mook, a double PE reservoir engineer based in Houston, Texas. In order to include portions of the PDNP from the reserves report the Company has secured assurances from its majority owner to do a review and to fund selectively up to the $950,200 maximum cost indicated in such reserve report to be able to increase its current production rates. The Company will concentrate on those wells in which the Company either owns a majority, or 100% of the working interest in such oil and gas property lease.

The Company was formed on February 19, 2014. The Company has had limited operations upon which an evaluation of the Company can be based. Exploration stage companies, such as the Company are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of any new business in the E&P sector of the oil and gas industry. Our financial viability is dependent upon raising funds and successfully executing our business plan. The likelihood of our success must be considered in the light of the challenges, both expected and unexpected, frequently encountered in connection with starting and expanding a new business. Accordingly, we are planning to align our primarily fixed expense levels with our expectation of future revenues. We may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for unexpected shortfalls in any forthcoming revenue. Any such shortfalls will have an immediate adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition which could cause investors to lose all or a substantial part of their investment.

AS WE CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OUR OPERATIONS, WE WILL NEED SUBSTANTIAL CAPITAL TO FUND OUR OPERATIONS, AND IF WE ARE NOT ABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT CAPITAL, WE MAY BE FORCED TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF OUR OPERATIONS.

The Company currently has working interests in wells and acreage. As we continue to develop and expand our operations, we will need to make substantial capital expenditures for the acquisition of petroleum exploration companies, hydrocarbon land leases, and existing oil and gas production with large reserves, and for drilling new wells and re-entering existing low production wells. We intend to finance our capital expenditures primarily through our cash flows from operations, bank borrowings, and public and private equity and debt offerings. Lower crude oil and natural gas prices, however, will reduce our cash flows. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to the shares being offered for resale by the selling security holders.

Further, if the condition of the credit and capital markets materially declines, we might not be able to obtain financing on terms we consider acceptable, if at all. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) our profitability; (ii) the development of similar services undertaken by our competition; and (iii) the amount of our capital expenditures. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs. If we cannot obtain financing, we may be required to limit our expansion and decrease or eliminate capital expenditures. Such reductions could materially adversely affect our business and our ability to compete.

In addition, weakness and/or volatility in domestic and global financial markets or economic conditions may increase the interest rates that lenders require us to pay and adversely affect our ability to finance our capital expenditures through equity or debt offerings or other borrowings. A reduction in our cash flows (for example, as a result of lower crude oil and natural gas prices) and the corresponding adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations may also increase the interest rates that lenders require us to pay. In addition, a substantial increase in interest rates would decrease our net cash flows available for reinvestment. Any of these factors could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The oil and gas business is characterized by high fixed costs resulting from the significant capital outlays associated with the acquisition, development, and exploration of crude oil and natural gas properties. We are dependent on the production and sale of quantities of crude oil at product margins sufficient to cover operating costs, including any increases in costs resulting from future inflationary pressures or market conditions and increases in costs of fuel and power necessary in operating our facilities. Furthermore, future major capital investment, various environmental compliance related projects, regulatory requirements, or competitive pressures could result in additional capital expenditures, which may not produce a return on investment. Such capital expenditures may require significant financial resources that may be contingent on our access to capital markets and commercial bank loans. Additionally, other matters, such as regulatory requirements or legal actions, may restrict our access to funds for capital expenditures

Our ability to generate operating cash flow is subject to many of the risks and uncertainties that exist in our industry, some of which we may not be able to anticipate at this time. Future cash flows from operations are subject to a number of risks and variables, such as the level of production from existing wells, prices of natural gas and oil, our success in developing and producing new reserves and the other risk factors discussed herein. Our ability to obtain capital from other sources, such as the capital markets, other financing and asset sales, is dependent upon many of those same factors as well as the orderly functioning of credit and capital markets. If such proceeds are inadequate to fund our planned spending, we would be required to reduce our capital spending, seek to sell different or additional assets or pursue other funding alternatives, and we could have a reduced ability to replace our reserves and increase liquids production.

YOU WILL EXPERIENCE DILUTION OF YOUR OWNERSHIP INTEREST BECAUSE OF THE FUTURE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND OUR PREFERRED STOCK.

If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of the Company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, we may also have to issue securities that may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock. In the event we seek to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt or its equivalents, this will result in increased interest expense.

WE WILL BE DEPENDENT UPON KEY PERSONNEL FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

Given our early stage of development, we are highly dependent on our executive officers, employees, and contractors. Although we believe that we will be able to identify, engage and motivate qualified personnel, an inability to do so could adversely affect our ability to market, sell, and develop our products and services. Any difficulty to attracting and retaining key people could have an adverse effect on our business.

SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACT TO OUR CAPITAL RESERVE OF ANY UNINSURED LIABILITY CLAIM

We do not have any insurance to cover potential risks and liabilities, including, but not limited to, injuries or economic losses arising out of or relating to our omission or errors in providing our services. Even if we decide to obtain insurance coverage in the future, it is possible that: (1) we may not be able to get enough insurance to meet our needs; (2) we may have to pay very high premiums for the additional coverage; (3) we may not be able to acquire any insurance for certain types of business risk; or (4) we may have gaps in coverage for certain risks. We may be exposed to potential uninsured claims for which we could have to expend significant amounts of capital. Consequently, if we were found liable for a significant uninsured claim in the future, we may be forced to expend a significant amount of our capital to resolve the uninsured claim.

UNCERTAINTY OF PROFITABILITY

Our business model requires significant investment in acquisitions and explorations, and, if and to the extent our business grows, we will need to hire new employees. Specifically, our profitability will depend upon our success at accomplishing the following tasks:

Additionally, our revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter due to a number of factors, including:

MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH

Successful expansion of our business will depend on our ability to effectively attract and manage staff, strategic business relationships, and shareholders. Specifically, we will need to hire skilled management and technical personnel as well as manage partnerships to navigate shifts in the general economic environment as well as in our target geographic exploration locations. Expansion has the potential to place significant strains on financial, management, and operational resources, yet failure to expand will inhibit our profitability goals.

WE ARE IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKET

We expect to face substantial competition in the oil and gas industry. There are many exploration companies in the oil and gas industry which will compete directly with us. There are many large, well-capitalized, private and public companies in this industry, which have the resources, lease access, loyal buyers and expertise to drill and produce oil if they wish to do so. Many of our existing and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. These competitors may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies. This type of pricing pressure could force us to offer discounts, decreasing our profit margin.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

The Company’s principal executive officers and directors also control a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s stock, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. As a result, no other persons can or will be able to effect any Company action except with the consent of these officers and directors, and in certain matters (such as compensation, incentive stock ownership, and continues employment), there may be an inherent conflict of interest unless such persons agree to abstain from voting on such matters, which they are not legally required to do. Our officers and directors may also serve as officers and directors of other entities that are not affiliated with us. Such non-affiliates may be involved in similar business enterprises to ours.

WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO BE A PUBLIC COMPANY TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ABSORB SUCH COSTS.

We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect these costs to be at least $25,000 per year. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. In addition, we may not be able to absorb these costs of being a public company which will negatively affect our business operations.

WE ARE AN “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY,” AND ANY DECISION ON OUR PART TO COMPLY ONLY WITH CERTAIN REDUCED DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANIES” COULD MAKE OUR COMMON STOCK LESS ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we expect and fully intend to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement (February 28, 2020); (iii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to opt in to the extended transition period for complying with the revised accounting standards. We have elected to rely on these exemptions and reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” and expect to continue to do so.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MEET THE ACCELERATED FILING AND INTERNAL CONTROL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY THE SEC WHICH MAY RESULT IN A DECLINE IN THE PRICE OF OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND AN INABILITY TO OBTAIN FUTURE FINANCING.

As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as amended by SEC Release No. 33-8934 on June 26, 2008, the SEC adopted rules requiring each public company to include a report of management on the company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its annual reports. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing a company’s financial statements must also attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting as well as the operating effectiveness of the company’s internal controls. We will be required to include a report of management on its internal control over financial reporting. The internal control report must include a statement

Furthermore, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to file its attestation report separately on our internal control over financial reporting on whether it believes that we have maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting.

While we expect to expend significant resources in developing the necessary documentation and testing procedures required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, there is a risk that we may not be able to comply timely with all of the requirements imposed by this rule. In the event that we are unable to receive a positive attestation from our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our internal controls, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and our stock price and ability to obtain equity or debt financing as needed could suffer.

In addition, in the event that our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to rely on our internal controls in connection with its audit of our financial statements, and in the further event that it is unable to devise alternative procedures in order to satisfy itself as to the material accuracy of our financial statements and related disclosures, it is possible that we would be unable to file our Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC, which could also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and our ability to secure additional financing as needed.

THE JOBS ACT ALLOWS US TO DELAY THE ADOPTION OF NEW OR REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS THAT HAVE DIFFERENT EFFECTIVE DATES FOR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMPANIES.

Since we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act, this election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION PROVIDE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS AT OUR EXPENSE AND LIMIT THEIR LIABILITY WHICH MAY RESULT IN A MAJOR COST TO US AND HURT THE INTERESTS OF OUR SHAREHOLDERS BECAUSE CORPORATE RESOURCES MAY BE EXPENDED FOR THE BENEFIT OF OFFICERS AND/OR DIRECTORS.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws include provisions that eliminate the personal liability of the directors of the Company for monetary damages to the fullest extent possible under the laws of the State of Nevada or other applicable law. These provisions eliminate the liability of directors to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages arising out of any violation of a director of his fiduciary duty of due care. Under Nevada law, however, such provisions do not eliminate the personal liability of a director for (i) breach of the director’s duty of loyalty, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (iii) payment of dividends or repurchases of stock other than from lawfully available funds, or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit. These provisions do not affect a director’s liabilities under the federal securities laws or the recovery of damages by third parties.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT AND COMPLIANCE WITH THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002, INCLUDING ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING ACCEPTABLE INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING, ARE COSTLY AND MAY INCREASE SUBSTANTIALLY.

The rules and regulations of the SEC require a public company to prepare and file periodic reports under the Exchange Act, which will require that the Company engage legal, accounting, auditing and other professional services. The engagement of such services is costly. Additionally, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requires, among other things, that we design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls and procedures over financial reporting. The costs of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the limited technically qualified personnel we have may make it difficult for us to design, implement and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. In the event that we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may not be able to produce reliable financial reports or report fraud, which may harm our overall financial condition and result in loss of investor confidence and a decline in our share price.

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Despite recent reforms made possible by the JOBS Act, compliance with these rules and regulations will nonetheless increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and operating results.

The increased costs associated with operating as a public company may decrease our net income or increase our net loss, and may cause us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products or services to offset the effect of such increased costs. Additionally, if these requirements divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

THE COMPANY MAY BE SUBJECT TO LITIGATION IN THE FUTURE WHICH COULD IMPACT THE FINANCIAL HEALTH OF THE COMPANY.

Currently there are no legal proceedings pending or threatened against the Company. However, from time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

Risks Related to the Exploration Business

AS WE CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OUR OPERATIONS, OUR PRODUCTION REVENUES MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY CHANGES IN OIL AND GAS PRICES AND IF WE ARE UNABLE TO BRING NEW OIL WELLS TO PRODUCTION WITH REASONABLE PRODUCTION CAPACITY.

The Company is an early stage company in the oil and gas industry, which has a working interest in wells and acreage. As we continue to develop our operations generate revenues and profits, the Company must own majority interests of new production. The only way for the Company to reach strong stable production capacity is to raise enough capital to help the Company gain control of new working interests in any future production wells. Any significant changes in oil prices or any inability on our part to anticipate or react to such changes could result in reduced revenues and profits and erosion of our competitive and financial position. Our success also depends on our ability to acquire good hydrocarbon production and bringing new oil wells to production with reasonable production capacity. In addition, changes from very shallow well to semi shallow well exploration or geographical exploration locations could result in higher costs of production and higher risks.

AS WE CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OUR OPERATIONS, PRODUCTION REVENUE MAY DECREASE OVER TIME DUE TO A VARIETY OF FACTORS.

As we continue to develop our operations, production revenue may decrease over time due to a variety of factors, including the aging of re-entry wells, changes in hydrocarbon flows, depletion, natural disasters, weather, negative publicity resulting from regulatory action or litigation against companies in our industry, or a downturn in economic conditions or taxes specifically targeting the consumption of oil and gas. Any of these changes may reduce our projected production revenues. Our success is also dependent on our technology innovations and applications, including maintaining production capacity, and the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, marketing programs and market positioning. Although we will devote significant resources to meeting our revenue goals, there can be no assurance as to our ability either to explore new projects and launch successful new production, or to effectively execute explorations and new acquisitions. In addition, both the launch and ongoing success of new production and acquisitions are inherently uncertain, especially as to their appeal to our investors.

ANY DAMAGE TO OUR REPUTATION COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Maintaining a good reputation globally is going to be critical to the Company here and abroad. If we fail to maintain high standards for our work ethic and integrity, including with regard to our production results, our reputation could be jeopardized. Adverse publicity about these types of concerns, or the incidence of “dry holes” in exploration or low production wells, whether valid or not, may cause production and delivery disruptions. If any of our production wells becomes depleted for any reason, is mishandled or causes injury, we may be subject to legal liability. A widespread non-commercialized production or a significant depletion could cause our production to be disrupted for a period of time, which could further reduce our revenue and damage our corporate image. Failure to maintain high ethical, social and environmental standards for all of our operations and activities or adverse publicity regarding our responses to health concerns, our environmental impact, including drilling and production materials, energy use and waste management, or other sustainability issues, could jeopardize our reputation. In addition, water is a limited resource in many parts of the world. Our reputation could be damaged if we do not act responsibly with respect to water use of our exploration purposes. Failure to comply with local laws and regulations, to maintain an effective system of internal controls or to provide accurate and timely financial statement information could also hurt our reputation. Damage to our reputation or loss of buyer confidence in our oil production for any of these reasons could result in decreased demand for our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as require additional resources to rebuild our reputation.

AS WE CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OUR OPERATIONS, CHANGES IN THE LEGAL AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT COULD LIMIT OUR BUSINESS ACTIVITIES, INCREASE OUR OPERATING COSTS, AND REDUCE DEMAND FOR OUR PRODUCTION OR RESULT IN LITIGATION.

As we continue to develop our operations, we will be subject to various laws and regulations administered by federal, state and local governmental agencies in the United States. These laws and regulations may change, sometimes dramatically, as a result of political, economic or social events. Such regulatory environment changes may include changes in: laws related to advertising and deceptive marketing practices; accounting standards; taxation requirements, including taxes specifically targeting the consumption of our products; anti-trust laws; and environmental laws, including laws relating to the regulation of oil and gas production. Changes in laws, regulations or governmental policy and related interpretations may alter the environment in which we do business and, therefore, may impact our results or increase our costs or liabilities. Governmental entities or agencies in jurisdictions where we plan to operate may also impose new quality or production requirements, or other restrictions. Regulatory authorities under whose laws we operate may also have enforcement powers that can subject us to actions such as product recall, seizure of products or other sanctions, which could have an adverse effect on our sales or damage our reputation.

The Company is still in the process of determining whether to use hydraulic fracturing in its operations. Hydraulic fracturing is a commonly used process that involves injecting water, sand, and small volumes of chemicals into the wellbore to fracture the hydrocarbon-bearing rock thousands of feet below the surface to facilitate higher flow of hydrocarbons into the wellbore. Various federal legislative and regulatory initiatives have been undertaken which could result in additional requirements or restrictions being imposed on hydraulic fracturing operations. For example, the Department of Interior has issued proposed regulations that would apply to hydraulic fracturing operations on wells that are subject to federal oil and gas leases and that would impose requirements regarding the disclosure of chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process as well as requirements to obtain certain federal approvals before proceeding with hydraulic fracturing at a well site. These regulations, if adopted, would establish additional levels of regulation at the federal level that could lead to operational delays and increased operating costs.

The US Congress has considered legislation that would require additional regulation affecting the hydraulic fracturing process. Consideration of new federal regulation and increased state oversight continues to arise. The US Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) announced in the first quarter of 2010 its intention to conduct a comprehensive research study on the potential effects that hydraulic fracturing may have on water quality and public health. The EPA issued a final report in June 2014.

At the same time, legislation and/or regulations have been adopted in several states that require additional disclosure regarding chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process but that include protections for proprietary information. Legislation and/or regulations are being considered at the state and local level that could impose further chemical disclosure or other regulatory requirements (such as restrictions on the use of certain types of chemicals or prohibitions on hydraulic fracturing operations in certain areas) that could affect our operations. The adoption of any future federal, state, or local laws or implementing regulations imposing reporting obligations on, or limiting or banning, the hydraulic fracturing process could make it more difficult to complete natural gas and oil wells and could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated financial condition.

DISRUPTION OF OUR PROPOSED SUPPLY CHAIN COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Our ability and the ability of our suppliers, business partners, including drillers, operators, and independent buyers, to make, move and sell our products is critical to our success. Damage or disruption to our or their manufacturing or distribution capabilities due to adverse weather conditions, natural disaster, fire, terrorism, the outbreak or escalation of armed hostilities, pandemics, strikes and other labor disputes or other reasons beyond our or their control, could impair our ability to produce oil. Failure to take adequate steps to mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to effectively manage such events if they occur, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as require additional resources to restore our supply chain.

AS WE CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OUR OPERATIONS, WE ARE BE SUBJECT TO HAZARDS AND RISKS INHERENT IN THE DRILLING, PRODUCTION, AND TRANSPORTATION OF CRUDE OIL AND NATURAL GAS

As we continue to develop our operations, we will be subject to hazards and risks inherent in the drilling, production, and transportation of crude oil and natural gas, including: i) well blowouts, explosions and cratering, ii) pipeline ruptures and spills, iii) fires, iv) formations with abnormal pressures, v) equipment malfunctions, vi) natural disasters and vii) surface spillage and surface or ground water contamination from petroleum constituents or hydraulic fracturing chemical additives. Failure or loss of equipment, as the result of equipment malfunctions, cyber-attacks, or natural disasters such as hurricanes, could result in property damages, personal injury, environmental pollution and other damages for which we could be liable. Litigation arising from a catastrophic occurrence, such as a well blowout, explosion, or fire at a location where our equipment and services are used, or ground water contamination from hydraulic fracturing chemical additives may result in substantial claims for damages. Ineffective containment of a drilling well blowout or pipeline rupture, or surface spillage and surface or ground water contamination from petroleum constituents or hydraulic fracturing chemical additives could result in extensive environmental pollution and substantial remediation expenses. If a significant amount of our production is interrupted, our containment efforts prove to be ineffective or litigation arises as the result of a catastrophic occurrence, our cash flows, and, in turn, our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

TERRORIST ATTACKS OR CYBER-INCIDENTS COULD RESULT IN INFORMATION THEFT, DATA CORRUPTION, OPERATIONAL DISRUPUTON AND/OR FINANCIAL LOSS.

Like most companies, we have become increasingly dependent upon digital technologies, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, to operate our businesses, to process and record financial and operating data, communicate with our business partners, analyze mine and mining information, estimate quantities of coal reserves, as well as other activities related to our businesses. Strategic targets, such as energy-related assets, may be at greater risk of future terrorist or cyber-attacks than other targets in the United States. Deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, our systems or infrastructure, or the systems or infrastructure of third parties, or cloud-based applications could lead to corruption or loss of our proprietary data and potentially sensitive data, delays in production or delivery, difficulty in completing and settling transactions, challenges in maintaining our books and records, environmental damage, communication interruptions, other operational disruptions and third-party liability. Our insurance may not protect us against such occurrences. Consequently, it is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, as cyber incidents continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to cyber incidents.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT OUR COMMON STOCK WILL EVER TRADE ON A RECOGNIZED EXCHANGE. THEREFORE, YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO LIQUIDATE YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK.

There is a limited public trading market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that one will ever develop. Market liquidity will depend on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result, holders of our securities may not find purchasers for our securities should they decide to sell. Consequently, our securities should be purchased only by investors having no need for liquidity in their investment and who can hold our securities for an indefinite period of time.

WE MAY NEVER PAY ANY DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future, but will review this policy as circumstances dictate.

OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED A PENNY STOCK, WHICH MAY BE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETABILITY, SO YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES.

We may be subject now and in the future to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules if our shares of Common Stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction; the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our Common Stock. As long as our shares of Common Stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of Common Stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

Overview

Norris Industries, Inc. (the “Company”, “We”, or “Us”) (formerly International Western Petroleum, Inc.) was incorporated on February 19, 2014, under the laws of the state of Nevada. We are an oil and natural gas company that focuses on the acquisition, development, and exploration of crude oil and natural gas properties in Texas. As of March 1, 2018, the SEC Non-Escalated Analysis of Estimated Proved Reserve of our various leases in Jack & Palo-Pinto Counties, the Ratliff leases, the Marshall-Walden, and the Bend Arch Lion 1A and Bend Arch Lion 1B leaseholds, is a total of 197.5 Mbbl in oil net reserves, plus 4,608.8 MMcf in natural gas net reserves being out of total of BOE equivalent of 965.63 Mbbl in gross reserves.

The reserves associated with the report from Bryant M. Mook, PE have been classified in accordance with the definitions of the Securities and Exchange Commission as found in Part 210 —Form and Content of and Requirements for Financial Statements, Securities Act of 1933, Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, Investment Company Act of 1940, Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, under Rules of General Application § 210.4-10 Financial accounting and reporting for oil and gas producing activities pursuant to the Federal securities laws and the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.

In fiscal year 2019, the Company’s main objective is to take advantage of the rising oil prices to actively look for large-reserve oil and gas concessions and production, aiming to participate with international capital partners for large-scale transactions related to buyouts and joint ventures. In the meantime, the Company will continue to raise capital to acquire smaller oil and natural gas properties in the West, Central West, East and South Texas aiming to increase its revenues via these acquisitions and continue to improve the existing production revenues of the Bend Arch Lion 1A, Bend Arch Lion 1B, Marshall Walden joint venture property, which includes the recent purchase of leases in Jack County and Palo Pinto County, plus the Ratliff property via new entries, re-entries and EOR methods as mentioned in the Operational Plan section above.

The Company plans to tap into the high potential leases of the West Texas region of the United States, aiming to unlock its potential via reserves development to increase its oil and gas assets, specifically in the Permian Basin. The Permian Basin is a sedimentary basin largely contained in the western part of the U.S. state of Texas and the southeastern part of the U.S. state of New Mexico. It reaches from just south of Lubbock, TX, to just south of Midland and Odessa, TX, extending westward into the southeastern part of New Mexico. It is so named because it has one of the world’s thickest deposits of rocks from the Permiangeologic period. The greater Permian Basin comprises several component basins: of these, Midland Basin is the largest, Delaware Basin is the second largest, and Marfa Basin is the smallest. The Permian Basin extends beneath an area approximately 250 miles (400 km) wide and 300 miles (480 km) long.

To achieve the Company’s objectives, the use of current technology will be key since oil and natural gas reserve development is a technologically oriented industry. Our senior management team has explored the opportunity to utilize new and existing technologies and plans to start with 4 counties (Coleman, Gregg, Russ and Reeves) for the EOR business in Texas. The Company plans to optimize its acquisition model by adding this technology to increase existing mature productions without additional drilling or fracking.

Results of Operations

Revenues

The Company generated revenues of $131,943 from oil and gas production sales during the year ended February 28, 2018, compared to $104,351 during the year ended February 28, 2017. The increase in oil and gas production sales was primarily due to the acquisition of the Jack County and Palo Pinto County leases in December 2017. The Company had $0 of service income during year ended February 28, 2018, compared to $45,000 of one-time service income during the year ended February 28, 2017.

Lease Operating Expenses

Lease operating expenses for the years ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, were $131,626 and $188,150, respectively. We incurred more lease operating expenses in 2017 primarily as a result of additional maintenance and repair costs on our leases in Coleman County.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the years ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, were $1,428,919 and $1,706,570, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to new management implementing cost controls to lower the general and administrative expenses incurred by the Company.

Other Income (Expense)

For the year ended February 28, 2018, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $1,228,322 as a result of a conversion of debt from an unrelated party into the Company’s common stock.

The Company recognized a gain of $20,324 from the sale of some of its oil and gas properties during the year ended February 28, 2017. In 2018, the Company did not have such a sale.

For the years ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded interest expense of $23,648 and $1,000, respectively. Higher interest expense was incurred in 2018 due additional debt issuances to related parties in the current year.

Net Loss

Our operations resulted in a net loss in the amount of $2,548,946 for the year ended February 28, 2018, compared to a net loss of $1,749,418 for the year ended February 28, 2017. The increase was primarily related to additional costs incurred during the current year related to stock-based compensation expenses and loss on extinguishment of debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On February 28, 2018, the Company had cash of $244,997.

Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended February 28, 2018 was $846,368, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $1,304,803 for the same period in 2017. The decrease was related to cost cutting implemented during the year ended February 28, 2018 related to the maintenance and repair of the Company’s legacy oil and gas properties and the cost cutting measures implemented by the Company new management.

Net cash used in investing activities during year ended February 28, 2018 was $1,600,000 for the acquisition of properties in Jack County and Palo Pinto County, compared to cash used in investing activities of $65,000 for the year ended February 28, 2017.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended February 28, 2018 was $2,615,000, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $903,940 for the year ended February 28, 2017. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily related to proceeds from the issuance of common stock and loans from our controlling shareholder.

The Company will require additional financing to support its operations and to pursue its acquisition program. It does not have any committed sources of financing at this time. If it is unable to obtain financing, it will have to reduce or curtail its operations and acquisition program. There is no assurance that it will be able to obtain financing in the future, and even if financing is available, it may not be on terms acceptable to the Company.

To date, the recent funding of operations and some acquisitions has been provided by the largest shareholder of the Company. This individual does not have any legal obligation to continue to provide funding to the Company. Yet the majority owner has indicated a willingness, and provided some assurances, to selectively review and determine added funding for certain low risk initiatives on those oil & gas wells in which the Company has either 100%, or a majority working interest in order to increase its existing production. Our majority shareholder expects, but is not legally obligated, to provide funding for the Company’s capital expenditure program for fiscal year 2019. Such funding may be provided in the form of loans, issuance of equity or other means.

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue its operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of February 28, 2018, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1934.

Critical Accounting Policies

Oil and Gas Properties, Full Cost Method

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil gas properties, whereby all costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration for and development of petroleum and natural gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.

Depletion and depreciation of proved oil properties will be calculated on the units-of-production method based upon estimates of proved reserves. Such calculations include the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not included in the costs subject to depletion. These costs are assessed periodically for impairment.

At the end of each quarter, the unamortized cost of oil and gas properties, net of related deferred income taxes, is limited to the sum of the estimated future after-tax net revenues from proved properties, after giving effect to cash flow hedge positions, discounted at 10%, and the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties, adjusted for related income tax effects. Costs in excess of the present value of estimated future net revenues are charged to impairment expense. This limitation is known as the “ceiling test,” and is based on SEC rules for the full cost oil and gas accounting method.

The Company capitalizes pre-acquisition costs directly identifiable with specific properties when the acquisition of such properties is probable. Capitalized pre-acquisition costs are presented in the balance sheet.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Organization, Nature of Operations and summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Norris Industries, Inc. (“NRIS” or the “Company”) (formerly International Western Petroleum, Inc.), was incorporated on February 19, 2014 as a Nevada corporation. The Company was formed to conduct operations in the oil and gas industry. The Company’s principal operating properties are in the Ellenberger formation in Coleman County, as well as the Jack and Palo-Pinto Counties. The Company’s production operations are all located in the State of Texas.

On April 25, 2018, the Company incorporated a Texas registered subsidiary, Norris Petroleum, Inc., as its own operating entity.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of the year or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.

Oil and Gas Properties, Full Cost Method

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil gas properties, whereby all costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration for and development of petroleum and natural gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.

Depletion and depreciation of proved oil properties will be calculated on the units-of-production method based upon estimates of proved reserves. Such calculations include the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not included in the costs subject to depletion. These costs are assessed periodically for impairment.

At the end of each quarter, the unamortized cost of oil and gas properties, net of related deferred income taxes, is limited to the sum of the estimated future after-tax net revenues from proved properties, after giving effect to cash flow hedge positions, discounted at 10%, and the lower of cost or fair value of unproved properties, adjusted for related income tax effects. Costs in excess of the present value of estimated future net revenues are charged to impairment expense. This limitation is known as the “ceiling test,” and is based on SEC rules for the full cost oil and gas accounting method.

The Company capitalizes pre-acquisition costs directly identifiable with specific properties when the acquisition of such properties is probable. Capitalized pre-acquisition costs are presented in the balance sheet.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments which extend the life or improve existing equipment are capitalized. Upon disposition or retirement of equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 to 10 years.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

Revenue Recognition

All revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service or sale is complete, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is derived from the sale of crude oil and natural gas. Revenue from crude oil and natural gas sales is recognized when the product is delivered to the purchaser and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company follows the “sales method” of accounting for oil and natural gas revenue, so it recognizes revenue on all natural gas or crude oil sold to purchasers, regardless of whether the sales are proportionate to its ownership in the property. A receivable or liability is recognized only to the extent that the Company has an imbalance on a specific property greater than its share of the expected remaining proved reserves. If collection is uncertain, revenue is recognized when cash is collected.

Share-based Compensation

The Company estimates the fair value of each share-based compensation award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. As share-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest. Excess tax benefits, if any, are recognized as an addition to paid-in capital.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share amounts are computed by dividing the net loss available to Norris Industries, Inc. shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding over the reporting period. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss, dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the years ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, there were outstanding options to purchase 1,440,000 and 0 of the Company’s common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, as the inclusion of these shares would be anti-dilutive.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash deposits placed with financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At February 28, 2018, $0 of the Company’s cash balances was uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new standard supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible that more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than is required under present U.S. GAAP. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The new standard also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. We adopted this new standard on March 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method of adoption. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but will result in increased disclosures related to revenue recognition policies and disaggregation of revenues.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which aims to make leasing activities more transparent and comparable and requires substantially all leases be recognized by lessees on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability, including leases currently accounted for as operating leases. This ASU is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt ASU 2016-02 beginning January 1, 2019 and are in the process of assessing the impact that this new guidance is expected to have on our financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 was issued to provide more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and changes the loss impairment methodology. ASU 2016-13 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 using a modified retrospective adoption method. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact this accounting standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Modification Accounting for Share-Based Payment Arrangements. The standard amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements and provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. There was no impact on the financial statements of adopting this new standard on March 1, 2018.

Note 5 – Related Party Transactions

$750,000 Loan Payable to JBB Partners, Inc. (“JBB”)

On April 7, 2017, the Company entered into a secured promissory note (the “Secured Promissory Note”) with JBB, an entity owned by the Company’s CEO and majority shareholder. Pursuant to the terms of the Secured Promissory Note, the Company borrowed from JBB $200,000 (the “Loan”). The Loan was funded on April 11, 2017. The Loan was secured by all of the Company’s assets and until August 2, 2017 was additionally secured by 17,920,000 shares of the Company’s common stock then owned by two of the then officers of the Company. The Loan carried interest at the rate of 3% per annum and the maturity date was April 7, 2018.

On July 27, 2017, to be effective as of August 2, 2017, JBB and the Company: (a) modified the Secured Promissory Note and restated it to increase the loan principal to an aggregate of $750,000, which includes the advance made on April 11, 2017, and (b) modified and added certain other provisions, including elimination of the share collateral that secured the Loan, changing the maturity date to July 27, 2018, and adding a provision to automatically convert the outstanding principal and interest into 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

The Company had a shareholder meeting in November 2017, in which it approved a name change and new corporation charter, those changes became effective on February 21, 2018, with its name changed to Norris Industries, an increase in the number of authorized common shares issuable to 150,000,000 shares, and authorized 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 1,000,000 Series A Preferred shares were issued to JBB Partners, Inc. in exchange for the $750,000 of prior debt and accrued interest outstanding (See Note 9).

During the year ended February 28, 2018, the Company recognized interest expense of $12,513 related to the $750,000 loan payable to JBB Partners, Inc.

$1,550,000 Promissory Note to JBB

On December 28, 2017, the Company borrowed $1,550,000 from JBB to complete the purchases of a series of oil and leases. The loan has an interest rate of 3% per annum, a maturity date of December 28, 2018 and is secured by all assets of the Company. The loan is convertible to the Company’s common stock at the conversion rate of $0.20 per share. On June 13, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment of its promissory note to JBB to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2019.

During the year ended February 28, 2018, the Company recognized interest expense of $7,899 related to the $1,550,000 promissory note to JBB.

The balance of this promissory note was $1,550,000 at February 28, 2018, plus interest that is due at maturity.

Due to related party

From time to time, the Company received advances from a related party, International Western Oil Corporation (“IWO”), an entity owned by the former controlling shareholders of the Company, to fund its operations. As of February 28, 2017, the Company had an outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses due to IWO in the amount $379,428. On May 30, 2017, IWO sold its receivable from the Company to Riggs Capital, Inc. As of February 28, 2018, the Company did not have any payable remaining outstanding to IWO.

Note 6 – Settlement of Debt

On May 30, 2017, IWO sold its receivable from the Company in the amount of $379,428 to Riggs Capital, Inc. an unrelated third party of the Company. The debt was unsecured, had no stated interest rate, was due on demand and had no conversion features.

On August 2, 2017, the Company and Riggs Capital, Inc. consummated a Debt Conversion Agreement to convert the outstanding debt of $379,428 into 5,900,000 shares of Common Stock which were distributed to Riggs Capital, Inc. and its related party, Patrick Riggs. The Debt Conversion Agreement provided for a one-year lock-up on the sale of shares issued in the transaction. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,228,322 to recognize the difference between the reacquisition price, (the fair value of the stock issued) and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt. ASC Topic 470-50-40 provides for the difference between the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt and the reacquisition price be recognized currently in the period of extinguishment.

Note 7 – Income Taxes

Due to the Company’s net losses, there were no provisions for income taxes for the years ended February 28, 2018 and 2017.

The difference between the income tax expense of zero shown in the statement of operations and pre-tax book net loss times the federal statutory rate of 32.7% and 34% for the years ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, respectively, are summarized as follows:

Deferred income tax assets for the years ended February 28, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of deferred assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, management has applied a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at February 28, 2018 and 2017. The net change in the total valuation allowance from February 28, 2017 and February 28, 2018, was a decrease of $243,412.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of February 28, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any significant uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits. The Company incurred interest expense of $1,000 and $0 penalties was recognized for the year ended February 28, 2017.

As of February 28, 2018, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,441,033 for federal and state tax purposes, respectively, which if not utilized, will expire beginning in 2038, respectively, for both federal and state purposes.

Utilization of NOL and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as amended, as well as similar state provisions. In general, an “ownership change” as defined by the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percent of the outstanding stock of a company by certain shareholders or public groups. The Company experienced an “ownership change” within the meaning of IRC Section 382 during the year ended February 28, 2018. As a result, certain limitations apply to the annual amount of net operating losses that can be used to offset post ownership change taxable income. The Company has estimated that $1.1 million of its pre-ownership change net operating loss could potentially be lost due to the IRC Section 382 limitation.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Government enacted comprehensive tax legislation referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). The Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including but not limited to, reducing the U.S. federal corporate rate from 35% to 21%, allowing full expensing of qualified property acquired and placed in service after September 27, 2017 and imposing new limits on the deduction of net operating losses, executive compensation and net interest expense. The rate change, along with certain immaterial changes in tax basis resulting from the 2017 Tax Act, resulted in a reduction of the Company’s deferred tax asset $360,842 and a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance.

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies

Office Lease

In March 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to extend the term of its office lease to August 31, 2018. The obligation under this lease extension for the remainder of its term is $13,400. During the year ended February 28, 2018, the Company had total rent expense of $37,588.

Leasehold Drilling Commitments

The Company’s oil and gas leasehold acreage is subject to expiration of leases if the Company does not drill and hold such acreage by production or otherwise exercises options to extend such leases, if available, in exchange for payment of additional cash consideration. In the King County, Texas lease acreage, 640 acres are due to expire in June 2021. The Company plans to hold significantly all of this acreage through a program of drilling and completing producing wells. Where the Company is not able to drill and complete a well before lease expiration, the Company may seek to extend leases where able.

Note 9 – Equity Transactions

On February 21, 2018, the Company effected an increase in the Company’s authorized shares of stock from 90,000,000 to 170,000,000, of which 150,000,000 shares are designated as common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and (3) create a single class of “blank check” Preferred Stock for the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, having such terms, rights and features as may be determined by the board of directors of the Company from time to time.

Preferred Stock

On February 21, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to create the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company and fulfill the Company’s obligations under the $750,000 Loan Payable to JBB described in Note 6.

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has certain dividend, liquidation, voting and conversion rights. When, and as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be entitled to participate prior to any dividends paid on the Company’s common stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Original Issuance Price is $0.75 per share. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or any Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to the holders of common stock, an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to three (3) times the Series A Preferred Stock Original Issue Price plus any declared but unpaid dividends thereon, which is the full principal amount of the $750,000 Loan Payable to JBB.

Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have the right to convert shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at any time and from time to time, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by the number of shares Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, divided by the product of (i) the Preferred Stock Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion and (ii) 0.02. The “Preferred Stock Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $0.75 will equal 666,666.66 shares of common stock. Such Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as in the event of stock split, merger, reorganization and certain dividend and distribution. There is no mandatory conversion or redemption right by the Company.

As of February 28, 2018, there were 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

During the year ended February 28, 2017:

During the year ended February 28, 2018:

Stock Options

During the year ended February 28, 2018, the Company granted two of its officers options to purchase a total of 1,440,000 shares the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, a term of 2 years until August 3, 2019, and a vesting period of 2 years. The options have an aggregate fair value of $431,956 that was calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include: (1) discount rate of 1.34%; (2) expected life of 2 years; (3) expected volatility of 482.51%; and (4) zero expected dividends.

The fair value of all options issued and outstanding are being amortized over their respective vesting periods. These options had an intrinsic value of $417,600 as of February 28, 2018. During the year ended February 28, 2018, the Company recorded total option expense of $126,000 related to the vesting of these options. The unrecognized compensation expense on these options at February 28, 2018 was approximately $306,000. As of February 28, 2018, these options have a remaining life of 1.43 years.

Note 10 – Subsequent Events

On June 26, 2018, the Company and JBB have entered into a modification of the existing Secured Promissory Note originally dated December 28, 2017 (‘Loan Note”), to add provisions to permit the Company to obtain advances under the Loan Note up to a maximum of $1,000,000.  The Company may request an advance in an amount of $100,000 no more frequently than every 30 days, provided that it provides a description of the use of proceeds for the advance reasonably acceptable to JBB, and the Company is not otherwise in default of the Loan Note. The original loan amount and the advances are secured by all the assets of the Company and are convertible into common stock of the Company at the rate of $0.20 per share, subject to adjustment for any reverse and forward stock splits. The Loan Note may be repaid at any time, without penalty, however, any advance that is repaid before maturity may not be re-borrowed as a further advance. The maturity date of the original amount and all the advances is September 30, 2019.

Note 11 – Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosures (Unaudited)

Capitalized Costs Relating to Oil and Gas Producing Activities

The estimates of proved oil and gas reserves utilized in the preparation of these statements were prepared by Bryant M. Mook for year ended February 28, 2018 and by Ralph E. Davis for year ended February 28, 2017, using reserve definitions and pricing requirements prescribed by the SEC. The Company used a combination of production performance and offset analogies, along with estimated future operating and development costs as provided by the Company and based upon historical costs adjusted for known future changes in operations or developmental plans, to estimate its reserves.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved reserves, projecting future rates of production and projecting the timing of development expenditures, including many factors beyond our control. The reserve data represents only estimates. Reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of natural gas and oil that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretations and judgment. All estimates of proved reserves are determined according to the rules prescribed by the SEC. These rules indicate that the standard of “reasonable certainty” be applied to the proved reserve estimates. This concept of reasonable certainty implies that as more technical data becomes available, a positive, or upward, revision is more likely than a negative, or downward, revision. Estimates are subject to revision based upon a number of factors, including reservoir performance, prices, economic conditions and government restrictions. In addition, results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of an estimate may justify revision of that estimate. Reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of natural gas and oil that are ultimately recovered. The meaningfulness of reserve estimates is highly dependent on the accuracy of the assumptions on which they were based. In general, the volume of production from natural gas and oil properties we own declines as reserves are depleted. Except to the extent we conduct successful development activities or acquire additional properties containing proved reserves, or both, our proved reserves will decline as reserves are produced. There have been no major discoveries or other events, favorable or adverse, that may be considered to have caused a significant change in the estimated proved reserves since February 28, 2018. The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as more current information becomes available. In addition, a portion of the Company’s proved reserves are proved developed non-producing and proved undeveloped, which increases the imprecision inherent in estimating reserves which may ultimately be produced.

All of the Company’s reserves are located in the United States.

Costs Incurred in Oil and Gas Property Acquisition, Exploration, and Development Activities

At February 28, 2018 and 2017, unevaluated costs of $0 were excluded from the depletion base.

Estimated Quantities of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves

The following table sets forth proved oil and gas reserves together with the changes therein, proved developed reserves and proved undeveloped reserves for the years ended February 28, 2018 and 2017. Units of oil are in thousands of barrels (“MBbls”) and units of gas are in millions of cubic feet (“MMcf”). Gas is converted to barrels of oil equivalents (“MBoe”) using a ratio of six Mcf of gas per Bbl of oil.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows and Changes Therein Relating to Proved Reserves

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, in management’s opinion, should be examined with caution. The basis for this table is the reserve studies prepared by the Company’s independent petroleum engineering consultants, which contain imprecise estimates of quantities and rates of future production of reserves. Revisions of previous year estimates can have a significant impact on these results. Also, exploration costs in one year may lead to significant discoveries in later years and may significantly change previous estimates of proved reserves and their valuation. Therefore, the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flow is not necessarily indicative of the fair value of the Company’s proved oil and natural gas properties.

Future cash inflows for 2018 were computed by applying the average price for the year to the year-end quantities of proved reserves. The 2018 average price for the year was calculated using the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an un-weighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period. Adjustment in this calculation for future price changes is limited to those required by contractual arrangements in existence at the end of each reporting year. Future development, abandonment and production costs were computed by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing proved oil and natural gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs, assuming continuation of year-end economic conditions. Future income tax expense was computed by applying statutory rates, less the effects of tax credits for each period presented, and to the difference between pre-tax net cash flows relating to the Company’s proved reserves and the tax basis of proved properties, after consideration of available net operating loss and percentage depletion carryovers. Discounted future net cash flows have been calculated using a ten percent discount factor. Discounting requires a year-by-year estimate of when future expenditures will be incurred and when reserves will be produced.

The estimated present value of future cash flows relating to prove reserves is extremely sensitive to prices used at any measurement period. The prices used for each commodity for the years ended February 28, 2018 and 2017 as adjusted, were as follows:

The information provided in the tables set out below does not represent management’s estimate of the Company’s expected future cash flows or of the value of the Company’s proved oil and gas reserves. Estimates of proved reserve quantities are imprecise and change over time as new information becomes available. Moreover, probable and possible reserves, which may become proved in the future, are excluded from the calculations. The arbitrary valuation prescribed under ASC No. 932 requires assumptions as to the timing and amount of future development and production costs. The calculations should not be relied upon as an indication of the Company’s future cash flows or of the value of its oil and gas reserves.

The following table sets forth the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proven reserves for the years ended February 28, 2018 and 2017 respectively (stated in thousands):

Summary of Changes in Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the principal sources of change in the standardized measure of discounted future estimated net cash flows at 10% per annum for the years ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, respectively (stated in thousands):

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

On December 12, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company dismissed Anton & Chia, LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company. The Company engaged GBH CPAs, PC who had been the independent public accounting firm of to the Company for the fiscal years ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015.

Termination of Anton & Chia, LLP

The reports of Anton & Chia, LLP (“Anton”) on the Company’s balance sheets as of February 28, 2017, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, except that the reports stated that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the Company’s most recent fiscal year, and the period subsequently through December 12, 2017, there were no disagreements between the Company and Anton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Anton, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their review on the Company’s financial statements for such periods. There were no reportable events (as described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) during the Company’s most recent fiscal year and subsequently through December 12, 2017.

The Company provided Anton with a copy of the Form 8-K disclosure and requested that Anton furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees or disagrees with the statements by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K. The letter was provided and filed as Exhibit 16.1 with the Form 8-K report for the change of accountants.

Engagement of GBH CPAs, PC

On December 12, 2017, the Company engaged GBH CPAs, PC (“GBH”), as its new independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement of GBH was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 12, 2017.

During the Company’s most recent fiscal year ended February 28, 2017 and through December 12, 2017, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with GBH regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report was provided to the Company or oral advice was provided that GBH concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of either a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

GBH had been the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company auditing the balance sheet of the Company as of February 29, 2016, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended February 29, 2016.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure of Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure and Control Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports, filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2018. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) under the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of February 28, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses at February 28, 2018:

(i)       The Company does not have accounting personnel with extensive experience in maintaining books and records and preparing financial statements in accordance with US GAAP which could lead to untimely identification and resolution of accounting matters inherent in the Company’s financial transactions in accordance with US GAAP.

(ii)       The Company does not have policies and procedures in place to ensure the timely review, disclosure and accurate financial reporting for significant agreements and transactions.

(iii)       The Company does not have an independent audit committee in place, which would provide oversight of the Company’s officers, operations and financial reporting function.

Management’s Remediation Plan

The management believes that the Company’s financial statements previously filed in the Company’s SEC reports have been properly recorded and disclosed in accordance with US GAAP, notwithstanding the control deficiencies identified above. The Company does not have an active remediation plan in operation at this time. If and when the Company has greater financial resources, it plans to engage additional persons and/or engage consultants to address the various deficiencies that are identified above.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the exemption provided to issuers that are neither “large accelerated filers” nor “accelerated filers” under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

(c) Changes in Internal Controls

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the last fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2018, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.

None.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, all executive officers, directors, and each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the common stock of a company that files reports pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, are required to report the ownership of such common stock, options, and stock appreciation rights (other than certain cash-only rights) and any changes in that ownership with the SEC. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and the Company is required to report, in this Form 10-K, any failure to comply therewith during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018. The Company believes that all of these filing requirements were satisfied by its executive officers, directors and by the beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company’s common stock, other than Mr. Benjamin Tran. In making this statement, the Company has relied solely on copies of any reporting forms received by it, and upon any written representations received from reporting persons that no Form 5 (Annual Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership) was required to be filed under applicable rules of the SEC.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.
