ROCKDALE RESOURCES CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND 2014.

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Rockdale Resources Corporation (“we”, “us”, and the “Company”) was formed for the purpose of oil and gas exploration, development, and production. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

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, 2014, as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

Management 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements through the filing date and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company.

NOTE 3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT.

SUDS Purchase

On September 23, 2015, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with SUDS Properties, LLC (“SUDS” and the “Purchase Agreement”). SUDS is 100% owned by Jovian Resources LLC (“Jovian”). Mr. Zel C. Khan, our President and CEO, is the former manager of Jovian. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we acquired a 10% working interest in the SUDS field located in Creek County Oklahoma, in exchange for 10,586,805 shares of restricted common stock, representing 33% of our outstanding common stock. Based on that current market value of Rockdale stock at $0.068 per share, the price paid was $719, 902. Concurrently with the purchase, Jovian agreed to assign to Rockdale all rights to be the operator of the SUDS unit under a standard operating agreement.

Impairment of Oil & Gas Properties

Pursuant to Full-cost accounting rules, the Company recognized impairment expense relating to its oil & gas properties, subject to amortization in the amount of $0 and $668,073; during the three months and nine months ended on September 30, 2015, respectively. Impairment of oil & gas properties represents a non-cash charge against the Company’s earnings. We recognized the impairment based on SEC rules, which require proved oil and gas reserves to be valued using an unweighted arithmetic average of oil and gas prices on the first day of each month for the preceding twelve-month period.

Table of Contents

NOTE 4. 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 reworking its existing oil or gas wells and drilling additional wells, as needed. The Company will need to raise funds through either the sale of its securities, issuance of corporate bonds, joint venture agreements and/or bank financing to accomplish its goals. The Company does not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide the Company with any additional capital, at this time. 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 and/or rework existing oil wells. Any additional wells that the Company may drill may be non-productive. Management believes that actions presently being taken to secure additional funding for the reworking of its existing infrastructure will provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. Since the Company has an oil-producing asset, its goal is to increase the production rate by optimizing its current infrastructure. 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.

NOTE 5. EQUITY

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

Common Stock – During the nine month period ending September 30, 2015, the Company sold 3,500,000 shares of common stock to private investors as part of two private placement offerings.

Khan, purchased 100,000 units. A total of $60,000 in advances from affiliates that was disclosed as a liability in the financial statements as of March 31, 2015 were converted to equity in this offering. The conversion resulted in a $69,107 loss.

Each unit is comprised of 100,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.06 cents per share and one warrant to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.10 cents per share at any time prior to August 31, 2018.

NOTE 6. 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 September 30, 2015, 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.

NOTE 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Twin Lakes San Andres Unit Interest Acquisition

On November 4, 2015, we acquired a 15% net working interest in the “Twin Lakes San Andres Unit” or “TLSAU” field located in Chavez County, New Mexico (the “Net Working Interest”) and all operating equipment on the field, pursuant to the terms of a Memorandum of Agreement between the Company and Blue Sky NM, Inc. (“BSNM”), which was dated November 4, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”).

The total purchase price for the acquisition of the Net Working Interest and equipment rights was $196,875. The Company paid $50,000 in cash to BSNM and executed a Promissory Note for the remaining balance ($146,875) (the “Note”). The Note is due on or before December 31, 2015, accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum and the repayment of the Note is secured by 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company. The Company also has the right to a one-time extension of the maturity date of the note (extending the maturity date for 90 days) if we issue BSNM 500,000 additional shares of restricted common stock.

In connection with the acquisition we were also required to place necessary bonds with the New Mexico Energy Department, not to exceed $400,000 in value.

The Company became the new operator of the field effective November 15, 2015.

Table of Contents

TLSAU is 45 miles from Roswell, New Mexico and consists of 4,864 acres with 130 wells of which only 6 are currently online. The last independent reserve report was prepared in November 2013 by American Energy Advisors, Inc. and reflects approximately 2.8 million barrels of proven oil reserves for 100% interest.

Promissory Note Acquisition

The Company also acquired an Installment Promissory Note with a face value of $1.3 million from BSNM on November 4, 2015, who had previously purchased the note from the Bankruptcy Trustee appointed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the district of New Mexico, in connection with the Bankruptcy of Orbit Petroleum, Inc., pursuant to the terms of a Memorandum of Agreement between the Company and BSNM, dated November 4, 2015. The note originally issued in September 2010, evidences amounts due from Canyon E&P Company to the Bankruptcy Trustee (now us pursuant to the acquisition), which are past due and in default and currently accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The note is secured by a significant amount of surface equipment and several mineral leases, including the TLSAU lease noted above. The note was purchased for total consideration of six million shares of Rockdale Resources unregistered restricted common stock.

Offering

On September 1, 2015, the Company began a new private offering of “Units” (each consisting of 100,000 shares of restricted common stock and a warrant to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share at any time prior to August 31, 2018), with each unit being sold for $6,000 per Unit. Subsequent to September 30, 2015, we sold 15 Units (1.5 million restricted shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1.5 million shares of common stock) for an aggregate of $90,000.

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

Background

Rockdale Resources Corporation (the “Company”, “we” and “us”) was incorporated in Colorado on January 16, 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, in April 2012 we became active in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties.

On May 4, 2012, we amended our articles of incorporation and changed our name to Rockdale Resources Corporation.

On June 11, 2015, the board of directors increased the size of the board of directors from two to three members by adding Joel Oppenheim to the board of directors to fill the newly created vacancy. Joel Oppenheim has owned and operated the Oppenheim Group since 1991.

Plan of Operation

We evaluate undeveloped and/or underdeveloped 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 will attempt to acquire leases or other interests in the area. We may then attempt to sell portions of our 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.

Our activities will primarily be dependent upon available financing, which can be affected by a prolonged reduction in oil price.

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, and 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.

Minerva-Rockdale Field

The Minerva-Rockdale Field, which is located approximately 30 miles Northeast of Austin, Texas, 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 shale. 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.

In April 2013, the Company entered into a lease pertaining to a 423 acre tract in Milam County, Texas, which is adjacent to the Company’s original 200 acre lease. The Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock as consideration for a 100% working interest (75% net revenue interest) in such lease.

In June 2013, we drilled two wells at approximately $120,000 each.

In August 2013, we became an oil and gas operator and took over the operating of 100% of our wells. We worked independently with vendors to drill wells on our lease with the supervision of the Company’s former director, Matthew Ferguson.

In August 2013, we drilled one well at a cost of approximately $120,000 and converted one existing well to an injection well.

On October 2, 2013, the Company executed a Paid Up Oil and Gas Lease (the “New Lease”) between Noack Farms, LLC (“Noack”), as Lessor, and the Company, as Lessee. Under the New Lease, Noack leased to the Company 623.29 acres in Milam County, Texas, for the purpose of exploring for, developing, producing, and marketing oil and gas, along with all hydrocarbon and hydrocarbon substances produced in association therewith. The New Lease provides for royalties of 1/6th of the production from the leased premises to be paid to Noack.

The land described in the New Lease was subject to a pre-existing Paid Up Oil and Gas Lease dated June 20, 2011, from Noack, as Lessor, to Ardent 1, LLC, as Lessee (the “Prior Lease”). The New Lease provided that it was subordinate to the Prior Lease, and that it would not become effective until the termination or release of the Prior Lease.

By virtue of a series of assignments, the Prior Lease previously had been assigned to the Company as Lessee effective as of March 20, 2012. (The assignment to the Company is filed as Exhibit 10.7 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2013, and the Prior Lease is filed as Exhibit 10.8 to such Quarterly Report.) All of the Company’s current wells are drilled on the 623.29 acres that constitute the leased premises under the New Lease and the Prior Lease.

On October 24, 2013, the Company filed a release of the Prior Lease.

In January 2014, the Company drilled one well at a cost of approximately $120,000.

In March 2014, the Company drilled three additional wells but did not complete them by March 31, 2014. Total cost per well is approximately $120,000.

The cost to drill and complete any remaining wells on the 623 acre lease will be approximately $120,000 per well.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company has sixteen wells drilled and completed, of which fourteen wells are currently online and producing at a rate of approximately 30 barrels (bbls) of oil and 60 bbls of water per day.

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

The Company continues with the rework of the wells at Minerva/Rockdale field and has implemented a paraffin maintenance program.

Completion of Acquisition of Assets.

SUDS Properties Acquisition

On September 23, 2015, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with SUDS Properties, LLC (“SUDS”). SUDS is 100% owned by Jovian Resources, LLC. Mr. Zel C. Khan, our President and CEO, is the former manager of Jovian Resources, LLC.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we acquired a ten percent (10%) working interest in the SUDS field located in Creek County Oklahoma, in exchange for 10,586,805 shares of restricted common stock, representing 33% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock. Such shares were calculated based on the relative 1P reserves currently owned by the Company and the 1P reserves being acquired through the transaction without regard to the Company’s common share price.

Based on the, then, current market value of the Company’s stock ($0.068 per share), the price paid was $719,902 or $4.76 dollars per barrel of oil (Bbl). Through this transaction, the Company increased its reserve base by approximately 151,000 Bbls of (1P) proven reserves.

The acquisition was effective October 1, 2015 for all purposes. Concurrently with the purchase, Jovian Resources LLC agreed to assign to Rockdale Resources Corp all rights to be the operator of the SUDS unit under a standard operating agreement.

Twin Lakes San Andres Unit Interest Acquisition

In connection with the acquisition we were also required to place necessary bonds with the New Mexico Energy Department, not to exceed $400,000 in value.

The Company became the new operator of the field effective November 15, 2015.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings that we believe could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

We have previously disclosed in our Current Reports on Form 8-K all unregistered equity securities that we issued during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, and from September 30, 2015 to date.

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 September 30, 2015, 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 there was a material weakness related to our disclosure controls and procedures were they were not effective at that date. This issue included inadequate month-end closing review to ensure all required analysis and entries have been performed and entered. Subsequently, management is ensuring these additional procedures are performed.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information

On September 24, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the adoption of a Code of Ethical Business Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees and sets forth certain general and ethical principles and guidelines which all such persons are required to follow and abide by. A copy of the Code of Conduct is filed herewith as Exhibit 14.1.

Government Regulation

Various state and federal agencies regulate the production and sale of oil and natural gas. All states in which we plan to operate impose restrictions on the drilling, production, transportation and sale of oil and natural gas.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the “FERC”) regulates the interstate transportation and the sale in interstate commerce for resale of natural gas. The FERC’s jurisdiction over interstate natural gas sales has been substantially modified by the Natural Gas Policy Act under which the FERC continued to regulate the maximum selling prices of certain categories of gas sold in "first sales" in interstate and intrastate commerce.

FERC has pursued policy initiatives that have affected natural gas marketing. Most notable are (1) the large-scale divestiture of interstate pipeline-owned gas gathering facilities to affiliated or non-affiliated companies; (2) further development of rules governing the relationship of the pipelines with their marketing affiliates; (3) the publication of standards relating to the use of electronic bulletin boards and electronic data exchange by the pipelines to make available transaction information on a timely basis and to enable transactions to occur on a purely electronic basis; (4) further review of the role of the secondary market for released pipeline capacity and its relationship to open access service in the primary market; and (5) development of policy and promulgation of orders pertaining to its authorization of market-based rates (rather than traditional cost-of-service based rates) for transportation or transportation-related services upon the pipeline's demonstration of lack of market control in the relevant service market. We do not know what effect the FERC’s other activities will have on the access to markets, the fostering of competition and the cost of doing business.

Table of Contents

Our sale of oil and natural gas liquids will not be regulated and will be at market prices. The price received from the sale of these products will be affected by the cost of transporting the products to market. Much of that transportation is through interstate common carrier pipelines.

Federal, state, and local agencies have promulgated extensive rules and regulations applicable to our oil and natural gas exploration, production and related operations. Most states require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and the filing of reports concerning operations and impose other requirements relating to the exploration of oil and natural gas. Many states also have statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and natural gas wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells. The statutes and regulations of some states limit the rate at which oil and natural gas is produced from our properties. The federal and state regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases our cost of doing business and affects our profitability. Because these rules and regulations are amended or reinterpreted frequently, we are unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with those laws.

Competition and Marketing

We will be faced with strong competition from many other companies and individuals engaged in the oil and gas business, many are very large, well-established energy companies with substantial capabilities and established earnings records. We will be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring oil and gas prospects since we must compete with these individuals and companies, many of which have greater financial resources and larger technical staffs. It is nearly impossible to estimate the number of competitors; however, it is known that there are a large number of companies and individuals in the oil and gas business.

Exploration for and production of oil and gas are affected by the availability of pipe, casing and other tubular goods and certain other oil field equipment including drilling rigs and tools. We will depend upon independent drilling contractors to furnish rigs, equipment and tools to drill our wells. Higher prices for oil and gas may result in competition among operators for drilling equipment, tubular goods and drilling crews, which may affect our ability expeditiously to drill, complete, recomplete and work-over wells.

The market for oil and gas is dependent upon a number of factors beyond our control, which at times cannot be accurately predicted. These factors include the proximity of wells to, and the capacity of, natural gas pipelines, the extent of competitive domestic production and imports of oil and gas, the availability of other sources of energy, fluctuations in seasonal supply and demand, and governmental regulation. In addition, there is always the possibility that new legislation may be enacted which would impose price controls or additional excise taxes upon crude oil or natural gas, or both. Oversupplies of natural gas can be expected to recur from time to time and may result in the gas producing wells being shut-in. Imports of natural gas may adversely affect the market for domestic natural gas.

The market price for crude oil is significantly affected by policies adopted by the member nations of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC"). Members of OPEC establish prices and production quotas among themselves for petroleum products from time to time with the intent of controlling the current global supply and consequently price levels. We are unable to predict the effect, if any, that OPEC or other countries will have on the amount of, or the prices received for, crude oil and natural gas.

Gas prices, which were once effectively determined by government regulations, are now largely influenced by competition. Competitors in this market include producers, gas pipelines and their affiliated marketing companies, independent marketers, and providers of alternate energy supplies, such as residual fuel oil. Changes in government regulations relating to the production, transportation and marketing of natural gas have also resulted in significant changes in the historical marketing patterns of the industry. Generally, these changes have resulted in the abandonment by many pipelines of long-term contracts for the purchase of natural gas, the development by gas producers of their own marketing programs to take advantage of new regulations requiring pipelines to transport gas for regulated fees, and an increasing tendency to rely on short-term contracts priced at spot market prices.
