(FORMERLY ART DESIGN, INC.)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

Art Design, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Colorado on January 16, 2002. In April 2012, the Company discontinued its prior operations and became involved in the exploration and development of oil and gas. On May 4, 2012, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Rockdale Resources Corporation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, 2012, as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As of June 30, 2013, the Company’s significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed in the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2012.

Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used in the computations of earnings per share was 15,423,667 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 and 11,492,455 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – Various accounting standards updates have been recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or were applicable to specific industries. No new accounting pronouncements have been issued that are likely to have a material impact to the Company's financial statements.

Use of Estimates

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

NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to generate profits by drilling productive oil or gas wells. However, the Company will need to raise the funds required to drill new wells through the sale of its securities, through loans from third parties or from third parties willing to pay the Company’s share of drilling and completing the wells. The Company does not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide the Company with any additional capital. If additional financing is not available when needed, the Company may need to cease operations. The Company may not be successful in raising the capital needed to drill oil or gas wells. Any wells which the Company may drill may not be productive of oil or gas. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. We have plans to finance our activities through private offerings of our securities, issuance of corporate bonds and/or joint venture agreements. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern; no adjustments to the financial statements have been made to account for this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013

(Unaudited)

NOTE 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At June 30, 2013 the Company had accounts payable – related-party of $6,586. This amount constitutes the net payment due to RTO Operating, LLC for its services as the operator of the Company’s wells during June 2013.

NOTE 5. EQUITY

Preferred Stock – 1,000,000 shares authorized, none issued or outstanding.

Common Stock – In April 2012 the Company purchased 9,125,500 of the Company’s common stock from an unrelated third party for $9,126.

In March 2013, Michael Smith transferred 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, to the Company for consideration of $100. These shares were returned to treasury and cancelled. In addition, in March 2013, John Barton, a former officer and director of the Company, and a number of other shareholders transferred an aggregate of 2,031,707 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company for aggregate consideration of $800. All such shares were returned to treasury and cancelled.

In March 2013, an additional 45,000 outstanding shares of common stock were cancelled, including 20,000 of treasury stock.

In April 2013, the Company was assigned a 100% working interest (75% net revenue interest) in a 623-acre lease in Milam County, Texas. (The Company had previously been assigned an aggregate of 202.5 acres out of this 623-acre lease via an assignment in March 2012 of 200 acres and an assignment in October 2012 of 2.5 acres. See “The Subsequent Kingman Assignment” in Item 5 of this Report on Form 10-Q.) The Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock valued at $395,000 as consideration for the release of a security interest encumbering this 623-acre lease.

In June 2013 the Company issued 20,000 shares of its common stock valued at $5,400 as employee compensation.

NOTE 6. CONVERTIBLE DEBT – RELATED PARTY

On June 17, 2013, the Company entered into a Convertible Secured Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Rick Wilber. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell, and Mr. Wilber agreed to buy, for aggregate consideration of $350,000, a convertible secured promissory note in the principal amount of $350,000 (the “Note”) convertible at $0.30 per share, and a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant”) at an exercise price of $0.80 per share. The Company analyzed the convertible debt and the warrants issued for derivative accounting consideration and determined that derivative accounting is not applicable for these debts. The warrants vest immediately and have a term of 10 years. The relative fair value of the warrants was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and determined to be $148,925, which was recorded as a debt discount. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the warrants included: (1) discount rate of 2.19%, (2), expected life of ten years, (3) expected volatility of 196% and (4) zero expected dividends. The note was then evaluated for a beneficial conversion feature and it was determined that a beneficial conversion feature existed. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was determined to be $102,259 and was recorded as a debt discount. The debt discounts are being amortized over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company, as a lessee of oil and gas properties, is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment. These laws and regulations may, among other things, impose liability on the Company for the cost of pollution clean-up resulting from operations and subject the Company to liability for pollution damages. In some instances, the Company may be directed to suspend or cease operations in the affected area. The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of June 30, 2013, which have not been provided for, or covered by insurance or which may have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. There can be no assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change, or past noncompliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on the Company’s properties.

Office rental expense was approximately $27,192 and $17,198 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Deferred rent was approximately $8,656 as of June 30, 2013.

Vesting of all shares is subject to Mr. Spezialy’s continued service as an executive officer. These shares were issued pursuant to a Stand-Alone Restricted Stock Award Agreement between the Company and Mr. Spezialy, and were valued at $0.27 per share, or an aggregate of $81,000, on the date of grant.

On August 5, 2013, the Company issued 100,000 shares of restricted stock to a Company employee as consideration for such employee’s continued service.

The information contained in this Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including among other things, statements regarding our capital needs, business strategy and expectations. Any statement which does not contain a historical fact may be deemed to be a forward-looking statement.

In evaluating forward looking statements, you should consider various factors outlined in our latest Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 31, 2012, and in other reports we file with the SEC from time to time. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between our actual results and those reflected in these statements. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s condensed financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Background

We were incorporated in Colorado in January 2002.

We planned to sell custom framed artwork, art accessories, and interior design consulting. However, we generated only limited revenue since inception and have been inactive since 2008.

In February 2012 we decided it would be in the best interests of our shareholders to no longer pursue our original business plan and, instead, to become active in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties. In furtherance of our business plan, the following have taken place:

·In February 2012, several of our shareholders, including our former officers and directors, sold an aggregate of 9,125,500 shares of our common stock to an unrelated third party. The unrelated third party sold the shares back to us for $9,126.

·In April 2012 we sold 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to a group of private investors for an aggregate purchase price of $51,250.

·In April 2012 we sold 8,367,850 shares of our common stock to our officers, directors and private investors for an aggregate purchase price of $173,902.

·In May 2012, we changed our name to Rockdale Resources Corporation.

·Between April 1, 2012 and August 31, 2012 we sold an aggregate of 5,781,798 shares of our common stock, at a price of $0.70 per share, to a group of private investors.

Minerva-Rockdale Field

The Minerva-Rockdale Field, which is located approximately 30 miles Northeast of Austin, was first discovered in 1921 and is approximately 50 square miles in size. The main producing formation for this field is the Upper Cretaceous Navarro Group of sands and shales. The Navarro is typically subdivided into several producing zones from the uppermost “A” and “B” sands to the lower “C” and “D” sands. The “B” sand is the primary producing zone. These sands are commonly fine grained and poorly sorted and were deposited close to a shoreline during a cycle of marine regression. The first well in the Minerva-Rockdale field came on producing 7 bbls/day in 1921. As of April 15, 2013 there were over 14,000 wells drilled and the field has produced 8.5 million bbls of oil. The oil is light, paraffin base, and has an API gravity of around 40 degrees. Water production in the “B” sands is very low.

“Bbl” refers to one stock tank barrel, or 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, in reference to crude oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.

In April 2012 we entered into an agreement with Kingman Operating Company, Inc. (“Kingman Operating”), then a related party. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement:

·	We paid Kingman Operating $475,000 for the assignment of a 100% working interest (75% net revenue interest) in an oil and gas lease covering 200 acres in the Minerva-Rockdale field (the “Minerva Lease”);
·	We paid Kingman Operating $1,375,000 to drill and complete our first five wells; and
·	We paid Kingman Operating $150,000 to drill and complete our sixth well. The price included the assignment of 100% working interest (75% net revenue interest) in an oil and gas lease covering 2.5 acres on a neighboring tract. We incurred an additional cost of $41,000 from a third party to fracture and stimulate this well.

Table of Contents

The cost to drill and complete the first five wells on the Minerva Lease was $275,000 per well. The cost to drill and complete the sixth well on the Minerva Lease was $191,000.

In December 2012, the Company paid Kingman Operating $106,000 to obtain 3D seismic on the Minerva Lease and an adjacent 420 acres. In April 2013, the Company was assigned a 100% working interest (75% net revenue interest) in the adjacent 420 acres. (In April 2013, the Company was assigned a 623-acre lease in Milam County, Texas. The Company had previously been assigned an aggregate of 202.5 acres out of this 623-acre lease via an assignment in March 2012 of 200 acres and an assignment in October 2012 of 2.5 acres. See “The Subsequent Kingman Assignment” in Item 5 of this Report on Form 10-Q. The Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock as consideration for the release of a security interest encumbering this 623-acre lease, of which the 420 acres is part.)

Michael D. Smith, a former officer and director of the Company, is an officer and director of Kingman Energy, LLC, which controls Kingman Operating. Kingman Operating formerly served as the Company’s operator pursuant to a contract between the Company and Kingman Operating executed in April 2012. The Company terminated its agreement with Kingman Operating on January 31, 2013.

We will work independently with vendors to drill wells on our lease with the supervision of the Company’s director, Matthew Ferguson.

The wells will be drilled to sufficient depths to test the shallow Navarro B formation (approximate depth of 1,800 feet). Each well will take approximately seven days to drill and complete.

Beginning August 1, 2013, we took over the operating of all wells. As such, we will no longer use RTO Operating, LLC for the day to day monitoring of the wells, but we might use them for future tasks on an as-necessary basis.

If, in our sole discretion, the estimated future production from wells drilled on the lease in the Minerva-Rockdale Field does not warrant further drilling, we plan to drill wells in other areas.

As of July 15, 2013, we have drilled and completed our first eight oil wells. As of July 15, 2013, these eight wells were collectively producing 11 bbls of oil and 13 bbls of water per day. We have identified drilling sites for fourteen additional wells on our lease in the Rockdale-Minerva Field.

As of July, 2013 we began the process of drilling one additional well on our lease in Milam County, Texas. We plan to have this well drilled in August 2013.

Results of Operations/Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since we did not become active in the exploration and production of oil until April 2012, a comparison of our operating results for the six months ended June 2013 with the comparable period in 2012 would not be meaningful. Instead, the following discussion compares the Company’s operating results for the six months ended June 2013 with the operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2012.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013:

Sales of oil and gas for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, totaled $94,449, while sales of oil and gas for the six-month period ended December 31, 2012 totaled $90,514. These numbers have remained fairly constant over both periods because the Company has operated the same wells over both periods, with two wells being added in late June 2013.

·	Lease operating expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 totaled $63,181, while lease operating expenses for the six-month period ended December 31, 2012 totaled $35,088. This increase is due primarily to increased insurance premiums and increased salt water disposal costs.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses totaling $597,520. This total comprises primarily the following: salaries and wages expenses of $235,629; legal expenses of $149,834; and contract labor and professional fees of $93,052. General and administrative expenses for the six-month period ended December 31, 2012 totaled $589,828, and comprised primarily the following: contract labor and professional fees of $431,381; salaries and wages expenses of $175,843; and legal expenses of $61,708.

Table of Contents

Our net losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 totaled $608,562, as compared to net losses for the six-month period ended December 31, 2012 of $823.345. These net losses are a result of lower than expected well production and high overhead costs. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses unless we are able to drill new (more productive) wells, and are able to further decrease overhead expenses. The net loss in the second quarter of 2013 was $236,629, which is the smallest quarterly loss incurred over the last five quarters, and an improvement of $135,304 in comparison to the net loss in the first quarter of 2013 of $371,933. This improvement was primarily driven by our efforts to decrease corporate overhead; we experienced a decrease of $147,021. We are in the process of drilling drill new wells, improving current wells and are working to further decrease our monthly overhead expenses, in an attempt to become profitable. We plan on raising additional capital in order to drill new wells and to continue making improvements on existing wells.

Our sources and (uses) of funds for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were:

Cash used in operations	$	(554,746	)
Capital expenditures on oil and gas properties		(207,955	)
Cash provided (used) by purchase (sale) of PP&E		(13,800	)
Cash provided by financing activities	$	349,100

Our anticipated capital requirements for the twelve months ending June 30, 2014 are as follows:

Drilling and completion of oil wells	$	2,100,000
Corporate overhead		500,000
	$	2,600,000

Plan of Operation

We evaluate undeveloped oil and gas prospects and participate in drilling activities on those prospects which, in the opinion of management, are favorable for the production of oil or gas. If, through our review, a geographical area indicates geological and economic potential, we may attempt to acquire leases or other interests in the area. We may then attempt to sell portions of such leasehold interests in a prospect to third parties, thus sharing the risks and rewards of the exploration and development of the prospect with the other owners. One or more wells may be drilled on a prospect, and if the results indicate the presence of sufficient oil and gas reserves, additional wells may be drilled on the prospect.

Our strategy is to acquire other similar prospects in or adjacent to existing fields with further development potential and minimum risk in the same area.

We may also:

·	acquire a working interest in one or more prospects from others and participate with the other working interest owners in drilling, and if warranted, completing oil or gas wells on a prospect; or
·	purchase producing oil or gas properties.

Our activities will primarily be dependent upon available financing. We have plans to finance our activities through private offerings of our securities, issuance of corporate bonds and/or joint venture agreements.

Oil and gas leases are considered real property. Title to properties which we may acquire will be subject to landowner’s royalties, overriding royalties, carried working and other similar interests and contractual arrangements customary in the oil and gas industry, to liens for current taxes not yet due, liens for amounts owing to persons operating wells, and to other encumbrances. As is customary in the industry, in the case of undeveloped properties little investigation of record title will be made at the time of acquisition (other than a preliminary review of local records). However, drilling title opinions may be obtained before commencement of drilling operations.

Trends Affecting Future Operations

The factors that will most significantly affect our results of operations are (i) the sale prices of crude oil and natural gas, (ii) the amount of production from oil or gas wells in which we have an interest, and (iii) lease operating expenses. Our revenues will also be significantly impacted by our ability to maintain or increase oil or gas production through exploration and development activities.

Table of Contents

It is expected that our principal source of cash flow will be from the production and sale of crude oil and natural gas reserves which are depleting assets. Cash flow from the sale of oil and gas production depends upon the quantity of production and the price obtained for the production. An increase in prices will permit us to finance our operations to a greater extent with internally generated funds, may allow us to obtain equity financing more easily or on better terms, and lessens the difficulty of obtaining financing. However, price increases heighten the competition for oil and gas prospects, increase the costs of exploration and development, and, because of potential price declines, increase the risks associated with the purchase of producing properties during times that prices are at higher levels.

A decline in oil and gas prices (i) will reduce our cash flow, which in turn will reduce the funds available for exploring for and replacing oil and gas reserves, (ii) will increase the difficulty of obtaining equity and debt financing and worsen the terms on which such financing may be obtained, (iii) will reduce the number of oil and gas prospects which have reasonable economic terms, (iv) may cause us to permit leases to expire based upon the value of potential oil and gas reserves in relation to the costs of exploration, (v) may result in marginally productive oil and gas wells being abandoned as non-commercial. However, price declines reduce the competition for oil and gas properties and correspondingly reduce the prices paid for leases and prospects.

Other than the foregoing, we do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that will have, or are reasonably expected to have, a material impact on our sales, revenues or expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the financial statements included as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2013, for a description of our critical accounting policies and the potential impact of the adoption of any new accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Risk Factors

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described below and other information included in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The risks described below are not the only risks involved in an investment in our securities. The risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the risks described below actually occur, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could suffer materially. In that event, the trading price and market value of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment in our securities.

Risks Related to Our Company

Our business is difficult to evaluate because we have a limited operating history.

In April 2012, we discontinued our prior operations and became involved in the exploration and development of oil and gas. In considering whether to invest in our securities, you should consider that there is only limited historical financial and operating information available on which to base your evaluation of our performance.

We have a history of operating losses and there can be no assurance we will be profitable in the future.

We have a history of operating losses, expect to continue to incur losses, and may never be profitable. We have been dependent on sales of our debt and equity securities to meet our cash requirements. We have incurred losses totaling $1,392,777 from April 2012 to December 31, 2012, and $371,933 during the first quarter of 2013. Further, we do not expect positive cash flow from operations in the near term. There is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates.

Table of Contents

We have received a going concern opinion from our independent auditors.

The independent auditor’s report accompanying our December 31, 2012 audited financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund our operations and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or to generate enough cash flow from operations to address all of our cash flow needs. If we are not able to find alternative sources of cash or to generate positive cash flow from operations, our business will be materially and adversely affected, and we may have to cease operations.

Our failure to obtain additional capital may significantly restrict our proposed operations.

We will need to raise the funds required to drill new wells through the sale of our securities, through loans from third parties, or from third parties willing to pay our share of drilling and completing the wells. We currently have no commitments from or arrangements with any person to provide us with additional capital. If additional financing is not available when needed, our business will be materially and adversely affected. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the capital that we will need.

Relationships upon which we may rely are subject to change, which may diminish our ability to conduct operations.

Our ability to successfully acquire additional leaseholds, to increase our oil and gas reserves, to participate in drilling opportunities, and to identify and enter into commercial relationships with customers will depend on our ability to develop and maintain close working relationships with industry participants and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. Our inability to maintain close working relationships with industry participants may impair our ability to execute our business plan.

We are dependent upon certain key personnel. The loss of such personnel could impair our ability to fulfill our business plan.

We are dependent on the services of Marc Spezialy, our Chief Executive Officer, and on the services of the other members of our management team. The loss of any such individual’s services could impair our ability to complete acquisitions of producing assets and leaseholds, perform relevant managerial and legal services, and maintain key relationships with market participants, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a reporting company.

Our management and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time to complying with the laws and regulations governing public companies. Moreover, these laws and regulations increase our legal and financial compliance costs. If we are not able to comply with these laws and regulations, we could suffer significant adverse consequences, including being subject to investigations or sanctions by the Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulatory authorities, responding to which would require additional financial and management resources.

We may be subject to litigation.

We face the risk of litigation in connection with our operations. Legal proceedings may subject us to liability for indeterminate amounts of cash or limit our ability to conduct operations. We could incur significant legal fees and other costs to defend or pursue legal proceedings, and such proceedings could divert management’s resources and attention and cause major business disruptions. A significant adverse outcome could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position, and results of operations, as well as harm our reputation.

Risks Related to the Oil and Gas Industry

Oil and gas exploration involves a high degree of risk, including the risk that we will drill wells that are not productive at all, or that are not productive enough to make our business profitable.

The primary risk of oil and gas exploration lies in drilling dry holes or drilling and completing wells that, though productive, do not produce oil or gas in sufficient amounts to return the capital expended and produce a profit. Hazards, such as unusual or unexpected formation pressures, down hole fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids, and other conditions are involved in drilling and completing oil and gas wells and, if such hazards are encountered, completion of the well may be substantially delayed or prevented. Additionally, adverse weather conditions can hinder or delay operations, as can shortages of equipment and materials or unavailability of drilling, completion, or work-over rigs. Even though a well is completed and is found to be productive, water or other substances may be encountered in the well, which may impair or prevent production or marketing of oil or gas from the well.

Table of Contents

Industry competition for leases, materials, people, and capital can be significant.

Strong competition exists in all sectors of the oil and gas industry. We plan to compete with major integrated and other independent oil and gas companies for the acquisition of oil and gas leases and properties. We also plan to compete for the equipment and personnel required to explore, develop, and operate properties. Competition is also prevalent in the marketing of oil and gas. Typically, during times of high or rising commodity prices, drilling and operating costs will also increase. Higher prices will also generally increase the price of properties available for acquisition. Our competitors have financial and other resources substantially larger than ours. They also may have established strategic and long-term positions and relationships in areas in which we may seek new entry. As a consequence, we may be at a competitive disadvantage in bidding for properties. In addition, many of our larger competitors may have a competitive advantage when responding to factors that affect demand for oil and gas production, such as changing worldwide price and production levels, the cost and availability of alternative fuels, and the application of government regulations.

Oil and gas prices are volatile.

Our financial results are highly dependent on the general supply of and demand for oil and gas, which impacts the prices we ultimately realize on our sales of these commodities. A significant downward movement of the prices of oil and gas could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, operating cash flows, and profitability. Such a downward price movement could also have a material adverse effect on our future estimated proved reserves, the carrying value of our future oil and gas properties, the level of planned drilling activities, and our future growth. Historically, market prices for oil and gas have been volatile, and such prices are likely to continue to be volatile in the future due to numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to: consumer demand, conservation efforts, production levels, weather, the price and availability of alternative fuels, the overall economic environment, and governmental regulation and taxes.

Estimates of oil and gas reserves are uncertain.

The process of estimating oil and gas reserves is complex and requires significant judgment in the evaluation of available geological, engineering, and economic data for each reservoir. Because of the high degree of judgment involved, different reserve engineers may develop different estimates of reserve quantities and related revenue based on the same data. In addition, the reserve estimates for a given reservoir may change substantially over time as a result of several factors, including additional development activity, the viability of production under varying economic conditions, and variations in production levels and associated costs. Consequently, material revisions to our future reserve estimates may occur as a result of changes in any of these factors. Such revisions to reserves could have a material adverse effect on our future estimates of net revenue, as well as our financial condition and profitability.

Discoveries or acquisitions of additional reserves will be needed to avoid a material decline in future reserves and production.

The production rates from oil and gas properties generally decline as reserves are depleted, while related per unit production costs generally increase due to decreasing reservoir pressures and other factors. Therefore, we anticipate our future estimated proved reserves and future oil and gas production will decline materially as future reserves are produced, unless we conduct successful exploration or development activities or unless we identify additional producing zones in existing wells, successfully utilize secondary or tertiary recovery techniques, or acquire additional properties containing proved reserves. Consequently, our future oil and gas production and related per unit production costs will be highly dependent on our level of success in finding or acquiring additional reserves.

Our current oil and gas properties are subject to certain royalties, and oil and gas properties that we acquire in the future may be subject to certain royalties, liens, and title risks.

The oil and gas property we currently hold is subject to a 25% overriding royalty interest in favor of Ardent 1, LLC (on its own behalf and on behalf of the lessor under the subject oil and gas lease). Interests that we may acquire in oil and gas properties also may be subject to royalty and overriding royalty interests, liens incident to operating agreements, liens for current taxes, easements, and other burdens and encumbrances, any of which may subject us to future undetermined expenses. We do not intend to purchase title insurance, title memos, or title certificates for any leasehold interests we acquire. It is possible that, at some point, we will have to undertake title work involving substantial costs. In addition, it is possible that we may suffer title failures resulting in significant losses.

Table of Contents

The drilling of oil and gas wells involves hazards that could result in substantial losses and liabilities to third parties.

Drilling for oil and gas subjects us to blowouts, unusual or unexpected formation pressures, down hole fires, and other hazards. Although we intend to acquire adequate insurance or to be named as an insured under coverage acquired by others (e.g., the driller or operator), we may not be insured against all such losses because such insurance may not be available, premium costs may be deemed unduly high, or for other reasons. The occurrence of any such hazard could materially adversely affect our business.

Our operations will be affected by federal and state laws and regulations regarding the development, production, and sale of oil and gas.

Federal and state laws and regulations require permits to drill wells and regulate the spacing of wells, the prevention of waste, and other matters. Rates of production of oil and gas have for many years been subject to federal and state conservation laws and regulations and the petroleum industry is subject to federal tax laws. In addition, the production of oil or gas may be interrupted or terminated by governmental authorities due to ecological and other considerations. Compliance with these regulations may require a significant capital commitment by and expense to us and may delay or otherwise adversely affect our proposed operations.

Our activities will be subject to existing federal and state laws and regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control.

Compliance with environmental legislation and regulations (including regulations restricting access and surface use) may necessitate significant capital outlays, materially affect our earning power, and cause material changes in our intended business. Furthermore, as an owner or lessee and operator of oil and gas properties, we are subject to various federal, state, and local regulations relating to the discharge of materials into, and the protection of, the environment. These regulations may, among other things, impose liability on us for the cost of pollution cleanup resulting from operations, subject us to liability for pollution damages, and require suspension or cessation of operations in affected areas. Moreover, we are subject to the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s rule requiring annual reporting of greenhouse gas emissions. Changes in, or additions to, these regulations could lead to increased operating and compliance costs and, in turn, materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Climate change has the potential to damage our facilities, disrupt our production activities, and cause us to incur significant costs.

Climate change could have an effect on the severity of weather (including hurricanes and floods), sea levels, and water availability and quality. If such effects were to occur, our exploration and production operations may be adversely affected. Significant physical effects of climate change could also have an indirect effect on our financing and operations by disrupting our transportation and processing services. We may not be able to recover through insurance all of the damages, losses, or costs that may result from the effects of climate change.

From time to time we may hedge a portion of our production, which may result in our making cash payments or prevent us from receiving the full benefit of increases in prices for oil and gas.

We may reduce our exposure to the volatility of oil and gas prices by hedging a portion of our production. Hedging prevents us from receiving the full advantage of increases in oil or gas prices above the maximum fixed amount specified in the hedge agreement. In a typical hedge transaction, we have the right to receive from the hedge counterparty the excess of the maximum fixed price specified in the hedge agreement over a floating price based on a market index, multiplied by the quantity hedged. If the floating price exceeds the maximum fixed price, we must pay the counterparty this difference multiplied by the quantity hedged even if we had insufficient production to cover the quantities specified in the hedge agreement. Accordingly, if we have less production than we have hedged when the floating price exceeds the fixed price, we must make payments against which there are no offsetting sales of production. If these payments become too large, the remainder of our business may be adversely affected. In addition, hedging agreements may expose us to risk of financial loss if the counterparty to a hedging contract defaults on its contract obligations.

A sustained recession may adversely affect our results of operations.

If there is a sustained economic downturn in the United States or abroad, oil and gas prices may fall and remain depressed for a long period of time. A sustained reduction in the prices we receive for our oil and gas production will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Securities

The public market for our common stock is minimal.

Our common stock is thinly-traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near ask prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors, and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume. Furthermore, even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company, such as us, or to purchase or recommend the purchase of our common stock until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our common stock is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer, which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. There can be no assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give you no assurance that you will be able to sell your common stock at or near ask prices or at all.

Our stock price may be volatile and the value of our shares may be subject to sudden decreases.

We anticipate that our common stock price will fluctuate. Such fluctuations may be due to factors including, but not limited to: actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly and annual operating results; decreased demand for oil and gas; loss of key management personnel; regulatory changes; announcements in the oil industry; financing transactions proposed or completed; and broader industry and market trends unrelated to our performance.

Disclosure requirements pertaining to penny stocks may reduce the level of trading activity in our common stock.

Trades of our common stock are subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which imposes certain requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The Securities and Exchange Commission also has rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, 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 effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.

Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell shares of our common stock and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares in the secondary market, as compliance with such rules may delay or preclude certain trading transactions. The rules could also have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. Many brokers may be unwilling to engage in transactions in our common stock because of the added disclosure requirements, thereby making it more difficult for shareholders to dispose of their shares. You may also find it difficult to obtain accurate information about, and quotations as to the price of, our common stock.

There may be restrictions on your ability to resell shares of our common stock.

Currently, Rule 144 under the Securities Act permits the public resale of securities under certain conditions after a six- or twelve-month holding period by the seller, including conditions relating to the manner of sale, volume restrictions, filing requirements, and a requirement that certain information about the issuer be publicly available. At the time you wish to resell your shares, we may no longer be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or we may not be current in our Exchange Act reporting requirements as required by Rule 144. Additionally, various state securities laws may impose further restrictions on your ability to sell or transfer shares of our common stock.

Your ownership may be diluted by future issuances of our stock, options, warrants or other securities.

Your ownership in our company may be diluted by future issuances of capital stock or the exercise of outstanding or to be issued options, warrants, or convertible notes to purchase capital stock. We may sell securities in the future in order to finance operations, expansions, or particular projects or expenditures without obtaining the approval of the holders of our common stock.

Table of Contents

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws could discourage acquisition proposals, delay a change in control, or prevent other transactions.

Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of the Colorado Business Corporation Act, may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our company or other transactions that you as a shareholder may consider favorable and may be in your best interest. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that:

·	authorize the issuance of shares of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by our board of directors to increase the number of outstanding shares and discourage a takeover attempt;

·	limit who may call special meetings of shareholders; and

·	require advance notice for business to be conducted at special shareholder meetings.

Our directors have the authority to issue common and preferred shares without shareholder approval, and preferred shares may be issued with such rights, preferences, and limitations as may be determined by our board of directors. The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of any holders of preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Authorized and unissued preferred stock could delay, discourage, hinder, or preclude an unsolicited acquisition of our company, could make it less likely that shareholders receive a premium for their shares as a result of any such attempt, and could adversely affect the market prices of, and the voting and other rights, of the holders of outstanding shares of our common stock.

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Prospective investors should not purchase these securities with any view toward the receipt of dividends.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of June 30, 2013, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 5. Other Information.

Kingman Agreement and Initial Kingman Assignment

As first reported in Item 2 of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 15, 2012, the Company entered into the Letter of Agreement for Farmout of Milam County “Airport” Lease (the “Kingman Agreement”) with Kingman Operating Company, Inc. (“Kingman”) on March 21, 2012. Pursuant to the Kingman Agreement, Kingman agreed to assign to the Company Kingman’s rights (100% working interest, 75% net revenue interest) in an oil and gas lease covering 200 acres1 in the Minerva-Rockdale Field in Milam County, Texas. Kingman also granted the Company the option to be assigned Kingman’s rights (100% working interest, 75% net revenue interest) in an oil and gas lease covering an additional 300 acres in the Minerva-Rockdale Field (this option expired on January 31, 2013, without being exercised2). The Kingman Agreement required the Company to appoint Kingman as the operator of the lease on specified terms (see the discussion under “Kingman Operating Agreement” in this Item 5, below). The Kingman Agreement also required the Company to appoint Michael Smith, an officer and director of Kingman Energy, LLC3, as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer on specified terms (see the discussion of Mr. Smith’s employment agreement included in the Report on Form 8-K filed on April 27, 2012. Mr. Smith resigned as an officer and director of the Company on January 31, 2013.).

As consideration for the foregoing terms, the Company paid Kingman $475,000 and agreed to convey to Kingman 1,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (such shares were reconveyed to the Company by Michael Smith, an officer and director of Kingman, in March 2013, for $100). In the Kingman Agreement, the Company also agreed to convey back to Kingman a 10% working interest in the lease at such time as the Company recovers, from the net proceeds of the sale of any oil or gas produced from any wells drilled or completed on the lease, an amount equal to the cost of drilling, testing, completing, equipping, and operating any wells drilled on the lease (such 10% working interest, the “Reversionary Interest”). Additionally, the Company agreed to secure and maintain, at the Company’s expense, office space for Kingman’s use in Austin, Texas, for a period of three years. (Kingman released the Company from the office-space obligation, and from the obligation to convey the Reversionary Interest to Kingman, as of February 1, 2013.)

To effect the assignment of the 200-acre lease provided for by the Kingman Agreement, on March 22, 2012, Kingman executed an Assignment of Paid-Up Oil and Gas Lease (the “Initial Kingman Assignment”) in favor of the Company. The Initial Kingman Assignment was subject to an overriding royalty interest in favor of Ardent 1, LLC (on its own behalf and on behalf of the lessor under the subject Paid-Up Oil and Gas Lease (i.e., the Noack Lease)), equal to 25% of any oil and gas produced from the lease. To avoid termination of the Initial Kingman Assignment, the Initial Kingman Assignment required the Company to drill a producing well within 120 days after the Initial Kingman Assignment’s effective date. The Initial Kingman Assignment was made expressly subject to the Kingman Agreement and the Reversionary Interest granted to Kingman by the Kingman Agreement. The Initial Kingman Assignment required that the Company operate the lease to obtain the maximum production from the well for each month, subject to compliance with applicable rules and regulations of the Texas Railroad Commission. Per the Initial Kingman Assignment, the Company was subject to all of the terms, conditions, covenants, and obligations of the lease.

The Initial Kingman Assignment was superseded in its entirety by the Subsequent Kingman Assignment, discussed in this Item 5, below.

The foregoing summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Kingman Agreement and the Initial Kingman Assignment, copies of which are attached to this Report as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference.

The entire lease, dated June 20, 2011, between Noack Farms, LLC, as Lessor, and Ardent 1, LLC, as Lessee (the “Noack Lease”), covers approximately 623 acres. Pursuant to the Kingman Agreement, the Company was assigned that portion of the Noack Lease covering 200 of the 623 acres. Ardent 1, LLC assigned the Noack Lease to Kingman on January 11, 2012.

Kingman Operating Agreement

On March 31, 2012, the Company and Kingman Operating Company, Inc. (“Kingman”) entered into a Single Owner Turnkey Drilling and Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”). As of March 31, 2012, Michael Smith served as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Smith also controlled Kingman on such date. (Mr. Smith resigned as an officer and director of the Company on January 31, 2013.) According to the Form 4 filed by Mr. Smith on January 10, 2013, at the time the Operating Agreement was executed, neither Kingman nor Mr. Smith owned any shares of the Company’s common stock.

Under the Operating Agreement, Kingman agreed to develop and operate the Company’s 200-acre oil and gas lease in the Minerva-Rockdale Field. The Operating Agreement provided that Kingman was to drill wells on a turnkey basis at a rate of $275,000 per well1 and established a monthly management fee to Kingman of $1,000 per well. Additionally, the Company granted Kingman a lien on the Company’s interest in the lease, and any personal property or fixtures on the lease, to secure the Company’s obligations under the Operating Agreement. The Operating Agreement was for an initial term of 5 years, and was to continue thereafter unless terminated by either party on 60 days’ notice. The Operating Agreement was terminable by the Company, after notice and the expiration of a cure period, for Kingman’s breach. The Operating Agreement was terminated as of February 1, 2013, without penalty, by the mutual agreement of the parties in connection with Mr. Smith’s resignation.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Operating Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.3 and which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company paid Kingman $275,000 per well to drill and complete the Company’s first five wells. The Company paid Kingman $150,000 to drill the Company’s sixth well. The price of the sixth well included the Kingman C-1 Assignment, discussed in this Item 5, below. The Company incurred additional costs of $41,000 from a third party to fracture and stimulate the sixth well.

Issuance of Common Stock

On April 25, 2012, the Company issued 1,600,000 shares of its Common Stock to Michael Smith, then the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, as consideration for future services. The shares were issued pursuant to the Kingman Agreement, discussed in this Item 5, above.

These securities were offered and sold to Mr. Smith in a private placement transaction made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act.
