ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Background

We were 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 and were inactive between 2008 and February of 2012.

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.

Effective September 2, 2016, we formally changed our name to Petrolia Energy Corporation, pursuant to the filing of a Statement of Conversion with the Secretary of State of Colorado and a Certificate of Conversion with the Secretary of State of Texas, authorized by the Plan of Conversion which was approved by our stockholders at our April 14, 2016, annual meeting of stockholders, each of which are described in greater detail in the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2016. In addition to the Certificate of Conversion filing, we filed a Certificate of Correction filing with the Secretary of State of Texas (correcting certain errors in our originally filed Certificate of Formation) on August 24, 2016.

As previously reported, although the stockholders approved the Plan of Conversion at the annual meeting, pursuant to which our corporate jurisdiction was to be changed from the State of Colorado to the State of Texas by means of a process called a “Conversion” and our name was to be changed to “Petrolia Energy Corporation”, those filings were not immediately made and the Conversion did not become legally effective until September 2, 2016. Specifically, on June 15, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Conversion with the Texas Secretary of State, affecting the Conversion and the name change, and including a Certificate of Formation as a converted Texas corporation; however, the Statement of Conversion was not filed with the State of Colorado until a later date. As a result, and because FINRA and the Depository Trust Company (DTC) had advised us that they would not recognize the Conversion or name change, or update such related information in the marketplace, until we became current in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and they had a chance to review and approve such transactions, we took the position that the Conversion and name change were not legally effective until September 2, 2016.

As a result of the filings described above, and FINRA and the Depository Trust Company (DTC) formally recognizing and reflecting the events described above in the marketplace, the Company has formally converted from a Colorado corporation to a Texas corporation, and has formally changed its name to “Petrolia Energy Corporation”.

Two significant acquisitions were made in 2015 and additional working interests in the same properties were acquired in 2016, as described in greater detail in the “Plan of Operation” section below

Table of Contents

Plan of Operation

Since 2015, we have established a clearly defined strategy to acquire, enhance and redevelop high-quality, resource in place assets. The Company has been focusing on acquisitions in the Southwest United States while actively pursuing our strategy to offer low-cost operational solutions in established Oil and Gas regions. We believe our mix of assets-oil-in-place conventional plays, low-risk resource plays and the redevelopment of our late-stage plays is a solid foundation for continued growth and future revenue growth.

Our strategy is to acquire low risk, conventionally producing oil fields. This strategy allows us to incorporate new technology to minimize risk and maximize the recoverability of existing reservoirs. This approach allows us to minimize the environmental impact caused by exploratory development.

Our activities will primarily be dependent upon available financing.

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 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 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.

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.

During the period from our inception to December 31, 2011, we did not drill any oil or gas wells. During the year-ended December 31, 2012 we drilled and completed six (6) oil wells and during 2013 the Company drilled and completed three (3) wells of which one (1) was converted to an injection well. During 2014 the Company drilled seven (7) new wells. In 2015, six (6) of the wells were completed, five (5) wells produced, one (1) did not produce and one (1) well was not completed. During 2016, the Company had thirteen (13) wells producing with one (1) injection well and one (1) did not produce/one (1) well not completed.

Slick Unit Dutcher Sands (“SUDS”) Field

The SUDS oilfield consists of 2,600 acres located in Creek County, Oklahoma and carries a 61% net revenue interest (NRI). The first oil producer was completed in 1918 by Standard Oil of Ohio (“Sohio”), which at that time was owned by John D. Rockefeller. By 1959, approximately 14,000,000 barrels of oil had been recovered at an average well depth of 3,100 feet and over 100 wells in production. Through a series of events, the infrastructure had deteriorated and the field suffered a lot of neglect. From 2011 to the acquisition date, Jovian Petroleum Corporation and its subsidiaries, Jovian Resources, LLC and SUDS Properties, LLC (together known as “Jovian”), the previous operator of the field, had invested an estimated $1.6 million into the restoration of the field; rebuilding the infrastructure and putting wells back in production. Note that Jovian and its management is considered a related party. This designation is because two (2) individuals hold key management and ownership positions in both Companies which effectively results in joint control. To date, 22 wells have been worked over and 9 are fully operational with considerable reserves remaining. As a result of the transactions below, as of December 31, 2016, Petrolia is the operator and has a 100% working interest in this field. Mr. Zel C. Khan, our Chief Executive Officer and President, is the former manager of Jovian and Mr. Quinten Beasley, our Director currently serves as President of Jovian.

SUDS 10% Acquisition

The Company acquired a 10% working interest in the SUDS field located in Creek County Oklahoma on September 23, 2015, in exchange for 10,586,805 shares of restricted common stock. Based on the then current market value of our common stock, $0.068 per share, the price paid was $719,903 or $4.77 dollars per barrel of oil (Bbl). Through this transaction, the Company increased its reserve base by approximately 151,000 Bbls of (1P) proven reserves. Concurrently with the purchase, Jovian agreed to assign to the Company the right to be the operator of record of the SUDS field, governed by an American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL) standard Joint Operating Agreement (JOA).

SUDS 90% Acquisition

On the effective date of September 28 2016, the Company acquired a 90% net working interest in the SUDS field as a result of two separate agreements, Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Share Exchange Agreement, both between the Company and Jovian.

Table of Contents

The Company issued two notes for a combined value of $4,000,000 in exchange for a cumulative 50% working interest in SUDS. See Note 6 – NOTES PAYABLE of the audited consolidated financial statements included herein for a complete description of the note terms.

The Company issued 24,308,985 shares of its restricted common stock to Jovian to acquire an additional 40% working interest ownership of SUDS. The purchase price of the shares equates to a $4,373,186 value, based on the $0.1799/share market price of our common stock on September 28, 2016 (the effective date of the transaction).

On November 11, 2016, the Board approved the expenditure of $150,000 to drill one new well at the SUDS field. This new well is the pilot well in the Company’s infill drilling program at SUDS. We believe this program will lead to an accelerated recovery of oil by adding wells in an existing field within the original well patterns.

Twin Lakes San Andres Unit (“TLSAU”) Field

TLSAU is located 45 miles from Roswell, Chavez County, New Mexico and consists of 4,864 acres with 130 wells. The last independent reserve report prepared by MKM Engineering on December 31, 2016, reflects approximately 2.7 million barrels of proven oil reserves remaining for the 100% working interest (of which we hold a 40% working interest). During 2016, the field had ninety (90) total wells, eight (8) were producing on timers to equal one well as allowed by permit with thirty-two (32) requiring workovers and an additional fifty (50) will serve as injection wells as needed and permits are acquired. As of December 31, 2016 Petrolia was the operator of the TLSAU field (through an agreement with BSNM described below). As of the date of this report, Petrolia owns a 100% working interest in the field.

TLSAU 15% Acquisition

On November 4, 2015, the Company acquired a 15% net working interest in the TLSAU field located in Chavez County, New Mexico (the “Net Working Interest”) and all operating equipment on the field. Through this transaction, the Company increased its reserve base by approximately 384,800 Bbls of (1P) proven reserves. The Company was also assigned all rights to be the operator of the TLSAU unit under a standard operating agreement.

The total purchase price for the acquisition of the Net Working Interest and equipment rights was $196,875 or $0.52 dollars per barrel of oil (Bbl) and was paid to Blue Sky NM, Inc. (“BSNM”). The Company paid $50,000 in cash and gave a promissory note in the amount of $146,875. The $50,000 was paid by the CEO of the Company for the benefit of the Company and recorded as a shareholder advance. Subsequently, the $50,000 advance was converted into 800,000 shares of common stock at $0.06 per share and warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock. In addition, a $1.3 million face value note payable to BSNM was purchased for $316,800 (6,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.0528 per share). With the inclusion of the note receivable, the price per barrel would be $1.33 dollars per barrel oil (Bbl). (See Note 5 and Note 6 of the audited consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-1 hereof for further details)

TLSAU 25% Acquisition

On September 1, 2016 the Company acquired an additional 25% working interest ownership in the TLSAU field through the issuance of 3,500,000 shares of its restricted common stock to an unrelated party. The purchase price of the shares equates to a $350,000 value, based on the $0.10 per share market price of Petrolia’s shares on September 1, 2016. After the purchase, the Company owns a total working interest ownership of 40%. The final purchase price allocation of the transaction is as follows: oil and gas properties acquired $392,252, asset retirement obligations assumed of $42,252.

Non Oil & Gas Properties Businesses

Askarii Resources, LLC

Effective February 1, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in Askarii Resources LLC (“Askarii”), a private Texas based oil & gas service company. The Company acquired Askarii by issuing one (1) million restricted common shares. Based on the then market value of the Company stock at $0.05 per share, the aggregate value of the transaction is $50,000.

Askarii, while dormant for the last few years, has a significant history with major oil companies providing services both onshore and offshore- Gulf of Mexico. Using Askarii, the Company will engage in the oil field service business as well as the leasing of field related heavy equipment. Askarii will also research various enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies and methods which it can use for the benefit of the Company’s oil fields.

There were no wells drilled during the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Table of Contents

The following table shows, as of April 17, 2017, our producing wells, developed acreage, and undeveloped acreage:


State	Productive Wells						Developed Acreage				Undeveloped Acreage (1)
	Gross				Net		Gross		Net		Gross		Net
Texas		13				13		260		260		363		363
Oklahoma		26	(2	)		26		1,040		1,040		1,564		1,564
New Mexico		12				12		500		500		4,364		4,364

(1)	Undeveloped acreage includes leasehold interests on which wells have not been drilled or completed to the point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of natural gas and oil regardless of whether the leasehold interest is classified as containing proved undeveloped reserves.

(2)

Represents twenty six (26) wells that were worked-over and capable of producing oil. Eighteen (18) of those wells experienced a repairable mechanical failure after a week of production. Those eighteen (18) wells are excluded from our producing well totals in the overview description above. Note that there were other wells that were worked over that never produce oil and are excluded from all of these reported amounts.

The following table shows, as of April 17, 2017, the status of our gross acreage:

State	Held by Production		Not Held by Production
Texas		623		—
Oklahoma		2,604		—
New Mexico		4,864		—

Leases on acres that are Held by Production remain in force so long as oil or gas is produced from one or more wells on the particular lease. Leased acres that are not held by Production require annual rental payments to maintain the lease until the first to occur of the following: the expiration of the lease or the time oil or gas is produced from one or more wells drilled on the leased acreage. At the time oil or gas is produced from wells drilled on the leased acreage, the lease is considered to be Held by Production.

Proved Reserves

Below is a table that provides historical average sales price per barrel and average production cost per barrel by geographical location and by year, for the last three (3) fiscal years.

	Average Sales Price (per Bbls) ($)			Average Production Cost (per Bbls) ($)			Oil Production (Bbls)

2016		29.10	(1)		186.25	(2)		842

(1)	The market price offered for our New Mexico oil is typically lower than with our other states. There are fewer sales points in New Mexico and comparatively, they are not located as close to our production facilities. These inefficiencies result in a lower relative price for oil sales.

(2)

The New Mexico field was being prepared for significant production during 2016 but due to permitting issues, the equivalent of only one well was allowed to produce. Consequently the number of barrels used to compute this metric was respectively lower which resulted in a higher than usual production cost per barrel in 2016.

Table of Contents

Below are estimates of our net proved reserves as of December 31, 2016, net to our interest. Our proved reserves are located in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.

Estimates of volumes of proved reserves at December 31, 2016 are presented in barrels (Bbls) for oil and, for natural gas, in millions of cubic feet (Mcf) at the official temperature and pressure bases of the areas in which the gas reserves are located.

	Oil(Bbls)		Gas(Mcf)
Proved:
Developed		1,206,010		—
Undeveloped		1,021,230		—
Total		2,227,240		---

There was a significant increase of approximately 1.5 million barrels of proved reserves primarily due to the acquisition of working interests in the TLSAU and SUDS fields during 2016 (see explanations above). This increase was offset by a reduction of approximately 500,000 barrels of proved reserves at the SUDS field due to the delay of planned drilling of new wells. The 2015 reserves estimate assumed an increase due to expected drilling that did not occur in 2016. The proved developed increased due to the additional wells brought online.

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

·	Mcf - refers to one thousand cubic feet.

·	A BOE (i.e., barrel of oil equivalent) combines Bbls of oil and Mcf of gas by converting each six Mcf of gas to one Bbl of oil.

Below are estimates of our present value of estimated future net revenues from our proved reserves based upon the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is determined by using estimated quantities of proved reserves and the periods in which they are expected to be developed and produced based on period-end economic conditions. The estimated future production is based upon benchmark prices that reflect the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for oil and gas during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2016. The resulting estimated future cash inflows are then reduced by estimated future costs to develop and produce reserves based on period-end cost levels. No deduction has been made for depletion, depreciation or for indirect costs, such as general corporate overhead. Present values were computed by discounting future net revenues by 10% per year.

Future cash inflows	$	90,265,000
Deductions (including estimated taxes)	$	(57,446,760	)
Future net cash flow	$	32,818,240
Discounted future net cash flow	$	13,564,480

MKM Engineering prepared the estimates of our proved reserves, future production and income attributable to our leasehold interests as of December 31, 2016. Michele Mudrone was the technical person primarily responsible for overseeing the preparation of the 2016 reserve report. Ms. Mudrone has more than 25 years of practical experience in the estimation and evaluation of petroleum reserves. MKM Engineering is an independent petroleum engineering firm that provides petroleum consulting services to the oil and gas industry. The estimates of drilled reserves, future production and income attributable to certain leasehold and royalty interests are based on technical analysis conducted by engineers employed at MKM Engineering.

Zel C. Khan, our CEO, oversaw preparation of the reserve estimates by MKM Engineering. We do not have a reserve committee and we do not have any specific internal controls regarding the estimates of our reserves.

Our proved reserves include only those amounts which we reasonably expect to recover in the future from known oil and gas reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, at current prices and costs, under existing regulatory practices and with existing technology. Accordingly, any changes in prices, operating and development costs, regulations, technology or other factors could significantly increase or decrease estimates of proved reserves.

Proved reserves were estimated by performance methods, the volumetric method, analogy, or a combination of methods utilizing present economic conditions and limited to those proved reserves economically recoverable. The performance methods include decline curve analysis that utilize extrapolations of historical production and pressure data available through December 31, 2016 in those cases where such data was considered to be definitive.

Proved undeveloped reserves increased from 2015 to 2016 as a result of the SUDS and TLSAU acquisitions.

Table of Contents

Forecasts for future production rates are based on historical performance from wells currently on production in the region with an economic cut-off for production based upon the projected net revenue being equal to the projected operating expenses. No further reserves or valuation were given to any wells beyond their economic cut-off. Where no production decline trends have been established due to the limited historical production records from wells on the properties, surrounding wells historical production records were used and extrapolated to wells of the property. Where applicable, the actual calculated present decline rate of any well was used to determine future production volumes to be economically recovered. The calculated present rate of decline was then used to determine the present economic life of the production from the reservoir.

For wells currently on production, forecasts of future production rates were based on historical performance data. If no production decline trend has been established, future production rates were held constant, or adjusted for the effects of curtailment where appropriate, until a decline in ability to produce was anticipated. An estimated rate of decline was then applied to economic depletion of the reserves. If a decline trend has been established, this trend was used as the basis for estimating future production rates.

Proved developed non-producing and undeveloped reserves were estimated primarily by the performance and historical extrapolation methods. Test data and other related information were used to estimate the anticipated initial production rates from those wells or locations that are not currently producing. For reserves not yet on production, sales were estimated to commence at a date we determined to be reasonable.

In general, the volume of production from our oil and gas properties declines as reserves are depleted. Except to the extent we acquire additional properties containing proved reserves or conduct successful exploration and development activities, or both, our proved reserves will decline as reserves are produced. Accordingly, volumes generated from our future activities are highly dependent upon the level of success in acquiring or finding additional reserves and the costs incurred in doing so.

On the effective date of September 28 2016, we acquired a 90% net working interest in the SUDS field located in Creek County, Oklahoma (the “Working Interest”) based on two separate agreements, the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Share Exchange Agreement, both between the Company and Jovian.

The SUDS field is located in Creek County, Oklahoma and consists of 2,600 acres. From a prior transaction described above, we owned a 10% working interest in SUDS.

The Company issued two notes for a combined value of $4,000,000 in exchange for a cumulative 50% working interest in SUDS.

One note is a Promissory Note for $1,000,000 bearing interest at 5% and due on December 31, 2016. If full payment is not made by December 31, 2016, the buyer will be entitled to extend the Note to June 30, 2017 by making a $10,000 payment in cash prior to maturity. The Promissory Note is secured by a 12.5% undivided working interest in the SUDS field. Although the note is due on December 31, 2016, in the event the Company closes financing related to the SUDS field, 50% of the net proceeds received from the financing will be applied to pay the Note.

The second note is a Production Payment Note for $3,000,000 paid out of twenty percent (20%) of the 50% undivided interest of net revenues received by the Purchaser that are attributable to the SUDS field assets. The Purchaser shall make the production payments to seller no later than the end of each calendar month. The Production Payment Note is secured by a 12.5% undivided working interest in the SUDS field.

Twin Lakes San Andres Unit Interest Acquisition

On the effective date of February 12, 2017, we acquired an additional 60% net working interest in the “Twin Lakes San Andres Unit” or “TLSAU” field located in Chavez County, New Mexico (the “Net Working Interest”) resulting from the execution of a Settlement Agreement on February 12, 2016. The agreement assigned Dead Aim Investments’ (“Dead Aim”) 60% ownership interests to Petrolia. As a result of this transaction, Petrolia now owns 100% ownership interest in TLSAU. Consideration of $639,675 was given in exchange for Dead Aim’s working interest. The consideration includes the forgiveness of the Orbit Petroleum Inc Bankruptcy Estate (“OPBE”) note of $316,800 (with a $1.3M face value) and the write off of $116,700 of Dead Aim’s outstanding accounts receivable to Petrolia. Dead Aim assumed liability for the OPBE note that Petrolia purchased.

TLSAU is 35 miles northeast of Roswell, New Mexico and consists of 4,864 acres of which Petrolia already owned a 40% working interest in the property. The net reserves, based on internal estimates, are approximately 2.6 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe) and are part of the northwestern shelf of the Permian Basin. The San Andres formation holds 100% of the TLSAU production base.

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.

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 to expeditiously 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 that 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.

Glossary of Oil and Gas Terms

DEVELOPED ACREAGE. The number of acres that are allocated or assignable to productive wells or wells capable of production.

DISPOSAL WELL. A well employed for the reinjection of salt water produced with oil into an underground formation.

HELD BY PRODUCTION. A provision in an oil, gas and mineral lease that perpetuates an entity’s right to operate a property or concession as long as the property or concession produces a minimum paying quantity of oil or gas.

INJECTION WELL. A well employed for the injection into an underground formation of water, gas or other fluid to maintain underground pressures which would otherwise be reduced by the production of oil or gas.

LANDOWNER’S ROYALTY. A percentage share of production, or the value derived from production, which is granted to the lessor or landowner in the oil and gas lease, and which is free of the costs of drilling, completing, and operating an oil or gas well.

LEASE. Full or partial interests in an oil and gas lease, authorizing the owner thereof to drill for, reduce to possession and produce oil and gas upon payment of rentals, bonuses and/or royalties. Oil and gas leases are generally acquired from private landowners and federal and state governments. The term of an oil and gas lease typically ranges from three to ten years and requires annual lease rental payments of $1.00 to $2.00 per acre. If a producing oil or gas well is drilled on the lease prior to the expiration of the lease, the lease will generally remain in effect until the oil or gas production from the well ends. The owner of the lease is required to pay the owner of the leased property a royalty which is usually between 12.5% and 25% of the gross amount received from the sale of the oil or gas produced from the well.

LEASE OPERATING EXPENSES. The expenses of producing oil or gas from a formation, consisting of the costs incurred to operate and maintain wells and related equipment and facilities, including labor costs, repair and maintenance, supplies, insurance, production, severance and other production excise taxes.

NET ACRES OR WELLS. A net well or acre is deemed to exist when the sum of fractional ownership working interests in gross wells or acres equals one. The number of net wells or acres is the sum of the fractional working interests owned in gross wells or acres expressed as whole numbers and fractions.

NET REVENUE INTEREST. A percentage share of production, or the value derived from production, from an oil or gas well and which is free of the costs of drilling, completing and operating the well.

OVERRIDING ROYALTY. A percentage share of production, or the value derived from production, which is free of all costs of drilling, completing and operating an oil or gas well, and is created by the lessee or working interest owner and paid by the lessee or working interest owner to the owner of the overriding royalty.

PRODUCING PROPERTY. A property (or interest therein) producing oil or gas in commercial quantities or that is shut-in but capable of producing oil or gas in commercial quantities. Interests in a property may include working interests, production payments, royalty interests and other non-working interests.

PROSPECT. An area in which a party owns or intends to acquire one or more oil and gas interests, which is geographically defined on the basis of geological data and which is reasonably anticipated to contain at least one reservoir of oil, gas or other hydrocarbons.

PROVED RESERVES. Those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geosciences and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible, from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations, prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation.

SHUT-IN WELL. A well which is capable of producing oil or gas but which is temporarily not producing due to mechanical problems or a lack of market for the well’s oil or gas.

UNDEVELOPED ACREAGE. Lease acres on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil and gas regardless of whether or not such acreage contains proved reserves. Undeveloped acreage should not be confused with undrilled acreage which is “Held by Production” under the terms of a lease.

WORKING INTEREST. A percentage of ownership in an oil and gas lease granting its owner the right to explore, drill and produce oil and gas from a tract of property. Working interest owners are obligated to pay a corresponding percentage of the cost of leasing, drilling, producing and operating a well. After royalties are paid, the working interest also entitles its owner to share in production revenues with other working interest owners, based on the percentage of the working interest owned.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to risks and uncertainties in the ordinary course of business that are common to all businesses, important factors that are specific to us and our industry could materially impact our future performance and results of operations. We have provided below a list of known material risk factors that should be reviewed when considering buying or selling our securities. These are not all the risks we face and other factors currently considered immaterial or unknown to us may impact our future operations.

The price we receive for our oil directly affects our revenues, profitability, access to capital and future rate of growth. Oil is a commodity that is subject to wide price fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand. Lower prices for our oil may not only decrease our revenues but may also reduce the amount of oil that we can produce economically. Historically, the markets for oil have been volatile and will likely continue to be volatile in the future. The prices we receive for our production and the volume of our production depend on numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the following: changes in global supply and demand for oil, the actions of OPEC, the price and quantity of imports of foreign oil, acts of war, terrorism or political instability in oil producing countries and economic conditions.

The prices of crude oil have declined substantially since June 2014. The price of West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude oil has decreased from $107 per barrel in the middle of June 2014 to as low as $44 per barrel in January 2015. This decrease in prices has impacted all oil and gas producers to varying degrees depending on hedging strategies. During 2016, the price increased to a high of $53.75 per barrel but is still substantially less than the price prior to 2015.

Accounting rules applicable to us require that we periodically review the carrying value of our oil properties for possible impairment. Based on specific market factors and circumstances at the time of prospective impairment reviews and the continuing evaluation of development plans, production data, economics and other factors, we will likely be required to write down the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties. Such write-downs constitute a non-cash charge to earnings. Impairment of proved properties under our full cost oil accounting method is largely driven by the present values of future net revenues of proved reserves estimated using SEC mandated 12-month un-weighted first-day-of-the-month commodity prices. No assurance can be given that we will not experience ceiling test impairments in future periods, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the periods taken. As a result of lower oil prices, we may also reduce our estimates of the reserve volumes that may be economically recovered, which would reduce the total value of our proved reserves.

Our undeveloped proved reserves and developed non-producing proved reserves require additional expenditures and/or activities to convert these into producing reserves. We cannot provide assurance these expenditures will be made and that activities will be entirely successful in converting these reserves. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that all of our undeveloped and developed non-producing reserves will ultimately be produced during the time periods we have planned, at the costs we have budgeted, or at all, which could result in the write-off of previously recognized reserves.

Our future success depends largely upon our ability to find, develop or acquire additional oil and natural gas reserves that are economically recoverable. Unless we replace the reserves we produce through successful exploration, development or acquisition activities, our proved reserves and production will decline over time. Our exploration, development and acquisition activities require substantial capital expenditures. The capital markets we have historically accessed are currently constrained, but we believe we could access other capital markets if the need arises. These limitations in the capital markets may affect our ability to grow and changes in our capitalization structure may significantly affect our financial risk profile. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that financing for future capital expenditures will be available if needed, and to the extent required, on acceptable terms.

Future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, such as the level of production from existing wells, the prices of oil and our success in developing and producing new reserves. Any reductions in our capital expenditures to stay within internally generated cash flow (which could be adversely affected by declining commodity prices) and cash on hand will make replacing produced reserves more difficult. If our cash flow from operations and cash on hand are not sufficient to fund our capital expenditure budget, we may be limited in our ability to access additional debt, equity or other methods of financing on an economic or timely basis to replace our proved reserves.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has adopted new regulations under the Clean Air Act (CAA) that, among other things, require additional emissions controls for the production of oil, including New Source Performance Standards to address emissions of sulfur dioxide and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and a separate set of emission standards to address hazardous air pollutants frequently associated with such production activities. For well completion operations occurring at such well sites before January 1, 2015, the final regulations allow operators to capture and direct flowback emissions to completion combustion devices, such as flares, in lieu of performing green completions. These regulations also establish specific new requirements regarding emissions from dehydrators, storage tanks and other production equipment. Compliance with these requirements could significantly increase our costs of development and production.

Table of Contents

We are required to record a liability for the present value of our asset retirement obligation (ARO) to plug and abandon inactive non-producing wells, facilities and equipment, and to restore the land at the end of oil production operations. As a result, we may make significant increases or decreases to our estimated ARO in future periods. Accordingly, our estimate of future ARO could differ dramatically from what we may ultimately incur.

Our development activities may be unsuccessful for many reasons, including adverse weather conditions, cost overruns, equipment shortages, geological issues and mechanical difficulties. Moreover, the successful drilling of an oil well does not assure us that we will realize a profit on our investment. A variety of factors, both geological and market-related, can cause a well to become uneconomical or only marginally economical. In addition to their costs, unsuccessful wells hinder our efforts to replace reserves.

Our oil exploration and production activities, including well stimulation and completion activities which include, among other things, hydraulic fracturing, involve a variety of operating risks, including fires, explosions, blow-outs and surface craters, uncontrollable flows of oil and formation water, natural disasters. If we experience any of these problems, well bores, platforms, gathering systems and processing facilities could be affected, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct operations. We could also incur substantial losses as a result of injury or loss of life, damage to and destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage.

Our business strategy includes growing by making acquisitions, which may include acquisitions of exploration and production companies, producing properties and undeveloped leasehold interests. Our acquisition of oil and natural gas properties requires assessments of many factors that are inherently inexact and may be inaccurate, including the acceptable prices for available properties, amounts of recoverable reserves, estimates of future oil prices, estimates of future exploratory, development and operating costs, estimates of the costs and timing of plugging, and abandonment and estimates of potential environmental and other liabilities

The process of estimating oil reserves is complex. It requires interpretations of available technical data and many assumptions, including assumptions relating to economic factors. Any significant inaccuracies in these interpretations or assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantities and the calculation of the present value of our reserves at December 31, 2016. In order to prepare our year-end reserve estimates, our independent petroleum consultant projected our production rates and timing of development expenditures. Our independent petroleum consultant also analyzed available geological, geophysical, production and engineering data. The extent, quality and reliability of this data can vary and may not be under our control. The process also requires economic assumptions about matters such as oil and natural gas prices, operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds. Therefore, estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are inherently imprecise.

You should not assume that the present value of future net revenues from our proved oil and natural gas reserves is the current market value of our estimated oil and natural gas reserves. In accordance with SEC requirements, we base the estimated discounted future net cash flows from our proved reserves on the 12-month un-weighted first-day-of-the-month average price for each product and costs in effect on the date of the estimate. Actual future prices and costs may differ materially from those used in the present value estimate.

Our operations and facilities are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the exploration, development, production and transportation of oil and natural gas and operational safety. Future laws or regulations, any adverse change in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations or our failure to comply with such legal requirements may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

To a large extent, we depend on the services of our senior management. The loss of the services of any of our senior management, could have a negative impact on our operations. We do not maintain or plan to obtain for the benefit of the Company any insurance against the loss of any of these individuals.

Wherever possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of shares of our common stock, preferred stock or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock, preferred stock or warrants to purchase such shares of common stock. In addition, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market in the future. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders and may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of us, because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.

We currently have a highly sporadic, illiquid and volatile market for our common stock, which market is anticipated to remain sporadic, illiquid and volatile in the future. Factors that could affect our stock price or result in fluctuations in the market price or trading volume of our common stock include:

·	our actual or anticipated operating and financial performance and drilling locations, including reserves estimates;

·	quarterly variations in the rate of growth of our financial indicators, such as net income per share, net income and cash flows, or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us;

·	changes in revenue, cash flows or earnings estimates or publication of reports by equity research analysts;

·	speculation in the press or investment community;

·	public reaction to our press releases, announcements and filings with the SEC;

Table of Contents

·	sales of our common stock by us or other shareholders, or the perception that such sales may occur;

·	the limited amount of our freely tradable common stock available in the public marketplace;

·	general financial market conditions and oil and natural gas industry market conditions, including fluctuations in commodity prices;

·	the realization of any of the risk factors presented in this Annual Report;

·	the recruitment or departure of key personnel;

·	commencement of, or involvement in, litigation;

·	the prices of oil and natural gas;

·	the success of our exploration and development operations, and the marketing of any oil and natural gas we produce;

·	changes in market valuations of companies similar to ours; and

·	domestic and international economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance.

Our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. The stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. Additionally, general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Due to the limited volume of our shares which trade, we believe that our stock prices (bid, ask and closing prices) may not be related to our actual value, and not reflect the actual value of our common stock. Shareholders and potential investors in our common stock should exercise caution before making an investment in us.

Additionally, as a result of the illiquidity of our common stock, investors may not be interested in owning our common stock because of the inability to acquire or sell a substantial block of our common stock at one time. Such illiquidity could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, a shareholder may not be able to borrow funds using our common stock as collateral because lenders may be unwilling to accept the pledge of securities having such a limited market. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for our common stock will develop or, if one develops, be sustained.

Our common stock will be subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9, promulgated under the Exchange Act, as long as the price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 also requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock. Generally, the Commission defines a penny stock as any equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of the securities and the ability of purchasers to sell their securities in the secondary market. In addition, various state securities laws impose restrictions on transferring “penny stocks” and as a result, investors in the common stock may have their ability to sell their shares of the common stock impaired.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

Our principal office is located at 710 N. Post Oak Rd. Suite 512 Houston, Texas 77024.

We lease our principal office space, consisting of approximately 1,000 square feet, at a rate which is currently $1,650 per month. Our lease is an annual renewable lease and it expires on August 31, 2017.

The Company’s oil and gas properties are described under “Item 1. Business” and below under “Note 12. Supplemental Information Relating To Oil And Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited)” at the end of the consolidated audited financial statements attached hereto.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceeding. In addition, we are not aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings against us, or contemplated to be brought against us.

Penny Stock

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market 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 such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, 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 acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

Table of Contents

Holders of Our Common Stock

As of April 17, 2017 we had 79,034,505 outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 245 shareholders of record.

Dividends

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. Our directors are not restricted from paying any dividends but are not obligated to declare a dividend. We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends on our common stock in the future will be dependent upon the amount of funds legally available, our earnings, if any, our financial condition, our anticipated capital requirements and other factors that the board of directors may think are relevant. However, we currently intend for the foreseeable future to follow a policy of retaining all of our earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business and, therefore, do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Preferred Stock

Our Certificate of Formation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The provisions in the Certificate of Formation, relating to the preferred stock, allow our directors to issue preferred stock with multiple votes per share and dividend rights which would have priority over any dividends paid with respect to the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock with these rights may make the removal of management difficult even if the removal would be considered beneficial to shareholders generally, and will have the effect of limiting shareholder participation in certain transactions such as mergers or tender offers if these transactions are not favored by our management.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” that reflect our future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. We caution you that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events may, and often do, vary from actual results and the differences can be material. See “Risk Factors” and “Forward Looking Statements.”

Results of Operations

Revenues

Our total revenue reported for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $321,246, an increase of $133,270 from the prior year. However, our oil and gas sales decreased $64,730 due to various factors including a lack of funding for field operations while the focus was on increasing proven reserves and field ownership percentages.

Our increased revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared with the prior year is a result of Askarii’s equipment sales.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased to $1,883,774 for the year ended December 31, 2016 from $1,731,652 for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $152,122. Our major expenses for the year ended 2016 were for professional services of $304,204, stock compensation of $509,798, and deferred salary of $200,000. Professional services increased primarily due to financial and accounting contractors, a SUDS property audit and investor relations/IT related services. Stock compensation increased due to Board and Advisory Board fees/compensation (See Note 7 for further details). Deferred salary increased due to the hiring of the CFO (40,000) and a full year of CEO salary deferral ($160,000). In comparison, our operating expenses for the year ended 2015 included a property impairment of $668,073 (primarily due to the drop in oil prices) and stock compensation expense of $185,395 and management fees of $105,000 and professional fees and contract labor of $163,783. The management fees were for administrative and accounting services early in 2015. Professional fees were paid for a financial analyst, investor managing, audit, tax and CPA services. Contract labor was paid for operational support in the field.

Our lease operating expenses increased due to adding additional field personnel to oversee the new SUDS and TLSAU fields, increased repairs due to SUDS and TLSAU workovers and higher administrative charges due to taking over as operator at the new fields. Our general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to increased stock compensation expense, increased professional services and deferred salary.

Other Income/Expenses

Other expenses were $313,251 for the year ended December 31, 2016 a small increase from other expenses of $312,938 for the same period ended 2015. The small increase was primarily due to a $95,543 decrease in loss on conversion of debt but was offset by an 117,461 increase in interest expense.

Net Loss

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $1,875,779 compared to net loss of $1,856,614 for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $19,165from the prior period for the reasons described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2016 we had total current assets of $298,843 and total assets in the amount of $13,211,624. Our total current liabilities as of December 31, 2016 were $2,986,390 and our total liabilities as of December 31, 2016 were $6,213,120. We had negative working capital of $2,687,547 as of December 31, 2016.

Our material asset balances are made up of oil and gas properties and related equipment. Our most significant liabilities include related party notes (primarily the purchase of 90% working interest in SUDS from Jovian) See Note 6 for further details, ARO and accruals for professional services.

See also Note 6. Notes Payable of the consolidated audited financial statements included herein for a description of our outstanding notes payable.

Operating activities used $551,823 in cash for the year ended December 31, 2016. Our net loss of $1,875,779 was the main component of our negative operating cash flow, offset mainly by amortization of debt discount of $171,573, stock-based compensation of $359,915 (Management signing bonuses and Board compensation) and deferred salaries of $200,000 (see details above)and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $464,407.

Table of Contents

Cash used by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $63,362 primarily the result of the purchase of property and equipment of $93,476.

Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2016 amounted to $680,742 and consisted of $111,352 in private placement offerings, $296,000 in net advances from shareholders (funds provided primarily by Management and Board members for working capital) See Note 6 for further details, and $275,000 in proceeds from short term loans (funds provided by accredited investors used for working capital).

During the year ended December 31, 2015, we raised $140,000 through a private placement offering with warrants authorized by the Board on March 23, 2015. We also raised $162,000 through a private placement offering with warrants, as reported on Form 8-K filed November 9, 2015. (See Note 7 for further details)

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we raised $48,000 through a private placement offering with warrants authorized by the Board on March 23, 2015. And we raised $63,352 through the exercise of outstanding warrants. (See Note 7 for further details)

Our sources and (uses) of funds for the year ended December 31, 2016 were:

Cash used in operations	$	(551,823	)

Net Purchase of equipment		(63,362	)

Net Proceeds from shareholder advances		296,000

Proceeds from issuance of common stock		111,352

Proceeds from Short Term Loans		275,000

The Company continues to operate at a negative cash flow of approximately $50,000 per month and our auditors have raised a going concern in their latest audit report as contained herein. Management is pursuing several initiatives to secure funding to increase production at both the SUDS and TLSAUs fields which together with anticipated increases in the price of crude oil may reduce the Company’s monthly cash shortfall. The total amount required by the Company to accomplish this objective is approximately $1,000,000, which funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We plan to generate profits by working over existing wells and drilling productive oil or gas wells. However, we will need to raise additional funds to workover or 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 do not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide us with any additional capital. If additional financing is not available when needed, we may need to cease operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the capital needed to drill oil or gas wells nor that any such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Any wells which we 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. 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

Trends Affecting Future Operations

The factors that will most significantly affect our results of operations will be (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.

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.

Table of Contents

A decline in oil and gas prices (i) will reduce the cash flow internally generated by the Company 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, and (vi) may increase the difficulty of obtaining financing. However, price declines reduce the competition for oil and gas properties and correspondingly reduce the prices paid for leases and prospects. During the last 5 months oil prices have trended upward to approximately $50.00 per barrel, (vii) if prices remain low operating costs will decrease to offset the reduced revenue.

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

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Going concern – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $7,967,620 since its inception and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future sales of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports 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 the Company’s management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Table of Contents

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Subsequent audit adjustments were necessary but were the result of further review of complex accounting issues and were not considered the result of material control deficiencies with regard to financial reporting by our internal staff.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our Principal Executive and Financial Officer and implemented by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.

Paul Deputy, our CFO and Zel C. Khan our CEO evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO Framework of 2013. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2016.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. Under SEC rules, such attestation is not required for smaller reporting companies such as ourselves.

Term of Office

Our Directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the SEC and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations.

Board Leadership Structure

The roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company are currently held separately. Mr. Womack serves as Chairman and Mr. Khan serves as Chief Executive Officer. The Board of Directors does not have a policy as to whether the Chairman should be an independent director, an affiliated director, or a member of management. Our Board believes that the Company’s current leadership structure is appropriate because it effectively allocates authority, responsibility, and oversight between management (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Khan and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Deputy) and the members of our Board (currently Mr. Womack as Chairman). It does this by giving primary responsibility for the operational leadership and strategic direction of the Company to its Chief Executive Officer, while enabling our Chairman to facilitate our Board’s oversight of management, promote communication between management and our Board, and support our Board’s consideration of key governance matters. The Board believes that its programs for overseeing risk, as described below, would be effective under a variety of leadership frameworks and therefore do not materially affect its choice of structure.

Risk Oversight

Effective risk oversight is an important priority of the Board of Directors. Because risks are considered in virtually every business decision, the Board of Directors discusses risk throughout the year generally or in connection with specific proposed actions. The Board of Directors’ approach to risk oversight includes understanding the critical risks in the Company’s business and strategy, evaluating the Company’s risk management processes, allocating responsibilities for risk oversight, and fostering an appropriate culture of integrity and compliance with legal responsibilities. The directors exercise direct oversight of strategic risks to the Company.

Family Relationships

None of our directors are related by blood, marriage, or adoption to any other director, executive officer, or other key employees.

Arrangements between Officers and Directors

To our knowledge, there is no arrangement or understanding between any of our officers and any other person, including directors, pursuant to which the officer was selected to serve as an officer.

Other Directorships

No directors of the Company are also directors of issuers with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act (or which otherwise are required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act).

Table of Contents

Director Qualifications

The Board believes that each of our directors is highly qualified to serve as a member of the Board. Each of the directors has contributed to the mix of skills, core competencies and qualifications of the Board. When evaluating candidates for election to the Board, the Board seeks candidates with certain qualities that it believes are important, including integrity, an objective perspective, good judgment, and leadership skills. Our directors are highly educated and have diverse backgrounds and talents and extensive track records of success in what we believe are highly relevant positions.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To the best of our knowledge, none of our executive officers or directors has been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

(1)	any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

The Company had thirteen (13) official meetings of the Board of Directors during the fiscal year 2016 and eight (8) during the previous fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.

The Company has not adopted a policy requiring its directors to attend its annual meeting of stockholders.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

Our Company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions, nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our Board of Directors.

Our Company has defined policy and procedural requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors as set forth in the Company’s Bylaws and described below. Our Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Except as discussed below or otherwise disclosed above under “Executive Compensation, or in Note 5 Related Party, of the consolidated audited financial statements included herein, all of which information is incorporated by reference into this Item 13, there have been no transactions since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, and there is not currently any proposed transaction, in which the Company was or is to be a participant, where the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Company’s total assets at year end, for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any officer, director, or any stockholder owning greater than five percent (5%) of our outstanding voting shares, nor any member of the above referenced individual’s immediate family, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

On May 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 $0.12 per share at any time prior to August 5, 2018), with each unit being sold for $10,000 per Unit. The Company sold a total of 22 Units before terminating the offering. Included as purchasers in the offering were Lee H. Lytton, our Corporate Secretary and Director, who purchased one Unit for an aggregate of $10,000; The Oppenheimer Group, an entity affiliated with Joel Oppenheim, our Director, which acquired three Units; Jovian Petroleum Corporation, affiliated with Zel C. Khan, our Chief Executive Officer and President, which acquired one Unit; The Leo B. Womack Family Trust, which is beneficially owned by our Chairman, Leo Womack, which acquired three Units; and Quinten Beasley, a director who acquired one Unit.

A Promissory Note to Jovian for $1,000,000 was executed bearing interest at 5% and due on December 31, 2016 related to the acquisition of a 50% working interest in the SUDS field. If full payment is not made by December 31, 2016, the buyer extended the Note to June 30, 2017 by making a $10,000 payment. The Promissory Note is secured by a 12.5% undivided working interest in the SUDS field. In the event the Company closes any financing related to the SUDS field, 50% of the net proceeds received from the financing will be applied to pay the Note.

On June 11, 2015, our Board of Directors increased the size of our Board of Directors from two to three members and appointed Joel Oppenheim to our Board of Directors to fill the newly created vacancy. On June 11, 2015, our Board of Directors agreed to issue Joel Oppenheim 100,000 shares of our restricted common stock in consideration for agreeing to serve on our Board of Directors.

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. To date the Company has sold 28 Units (2.8 million restricted shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 2.8 million shares of common stock) for aggregate consideration of $168,000. Included as purchases in the offering were Lee H. Lytton, our Corporate Secretary and Director, who purchased two Units for an aggregate of $12,000; The Oppenheimer Group, an entity affiliated with Joel Oppenheim, our Director, which acquired two Units; and Zel C. Khan, our Chief Executive Officer and President, which acquired eight Units for $48,000.

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 Chief Executive Officer and President, is the former manager of Jovian and Quinten Beasley, our Director is the President and CEO 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. Such shares were calculated based on the relative 1P reserves currently owned by us and the P1 reserves being acquired through the transaction without regard to our common share price. Based on the then current market value of our stock at $0.06 per share, the price paid was $719,903 or $4.77 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 will be effective October 1, 2015 for all purposes. Concurrently with the purchase, Jovian agreed to assign to the Company all rights to be the operator of the SUDS unit under a standard operating agreement.

On September 23, 2015, our Board of Directors agreed to issue Mr. Zel C. Khan, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock in consideration for entering into the employment agreement as described above under “Employment Agreements”.

On September 23, 2015, the Board of Directors agreed to pay:

(a)

Leo B. Womack, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, $4,000 per month in consideration for his services on the Board of Directors, and to grant him an option to purchase 1 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share, which vests on January 1, 2016, and is exercisable for 36 months thereafter; and

(b)

Lee Lytton and Joel Oppenheim, members of the Board of Directors, each $2,000 per month in consideration for their service on the Board of Directors, and to grant each of them an option to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share, which vest on January 1, 2016, and are exercisable for 36 months thereafter (collectively with the options granted to Mr. Womack as described above, the “Director Options”);

(c)

Provided that the cash fees due to the directors as described above shall only be payable out of 10% of the positive cash flow (if any) of the Company as of any fiscal quarter (“Positive Cash Flow”), and any other fees due such directors shall accrue until such time as the Company has Positive Cash Flow.

Effective October 1, 2015, all five (5) employees of Jovian became employees of the Company and the Company became operator of all properties acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Beginning February 1, 2016, the Company sponsored the SUDS 1% Term Overriding Royalty Interest (“PORRI”) offering on behalf of the SUDS field to raise $300,000. Under the terms of the Company offering, investors will receive 1% of the gross revenue from the field monthly, based on their investment of $20,000 until such time as they receive a cumulative revenue amount of $30,000. With each unit purchased, a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of Company’s common stock was granted with an exercise price of $0.10 per share, and an expiration date of February 28, 2019. At the end of the second quarter of 2016, the $300,000 offering had been received which resulted in the granting of warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock. The following affiliated investors each purchased one (1) unit in the offering: Joel Oppenheim, Jovian, Lee Lytton, Paul Deputy and Leo Womack. The fair value of all 150,000 SUDS related warrants was $14,336, over a 3 year term. This fair value was accounted for as a loss on the conveyance.

The Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary Askarii sold pump jacks to the other owners of the SUDS properties (before the Company’s September 2016 acquisition of the 90% working interest), totaling $198,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Askarii booked a profit of $164,670 on the sale of pump jacks to the other owners of the SUDs properties.

On February 10, 2016, a shareholder provided an advance of $20,000 in order to temporarily fund the Company’s working capital needs. On April 1, 2016, in order to compensate the shareholder, the Company issued 285,714 shares in consideration for forgiveness of the debt in full. The valuation of the issuance was $20,000, based on 285,714 shares valued at $0.07 per share on April 1, 2016.

On March 11, 2016, the Board of Directors granted Leo B. Womack, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company an option to purchase 1 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share, which vests on January 1, 2017, and is exercisable for 36 months thereafter. The Board also granted Lee Lytton and Joel Oppenheim, members of the Board of Directors each an option to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share, which vests on January 1, 2017, and is excisable for 36 months thereafter. The fair value of the options granted on March 11, 2016 is $115,045.

Effective April 18, 2016, Quinten Beasley was compensated for his Board service during 2016 through a grant of 500,000 warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.07 per share, which vested immediately, and is exercisable for 36 months thereafter. The fair value of the warrants is $41,891with a 3 year term. These warrants are subject to a claw-back provision which would be ratably invoked if a director did not complete his 2016 service term.

On May 2, 2016, the Company paid off its outstanding Promissory Note to Blue Sky NM (“BSNM”) for $146,875. This Note was created when the 15% working interest in the Twin Lakes field was purchased in November of 2015. The payoff was made by issuing 1,468,750 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. Based on the market value of the stock on May 2, 2016 of $0.10, the value of the transaction was $146,875 and resulted in no gain or loss. In addition, a cash payment of $4,869 was made to pay off the remaining outstanding interest.

On May 31, 2016, in exchange for a cash payment of $48,000, the Company issued 8 units or 800,000 shares to the current CFO as part of, and under the terms of, the September 1, 2015 private offering. The shares were issued at a price of $0.06 per share and included warrants to purchase an additional 800,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.10 cents per share at any time prior to August 5, 2018. This represented the final sale under this offering.

On June 17, 2016 the Company entered into Temporary Unsecured Loans (Bridge Loan – Working Capital) for $230,000. The notes bear interest at 10% per annum payable and mature in sixty (60) days. The lenders receive 100% warrant coverage at an exercise price of $0.09 per share. If the loans are not paid in 60 days, a 10% warrant coverage default penalty is paid. Initially, Director Leo Womack loaned $20,000, Director Joel Oppenheim loaned $110,000 and our CFO loaned $100,000. At December 31, 2016 the outstanding balance of Bridge Loan – Working Capital is $120,000. The decrease during 2016 was due to Mr. Oppenheim converting $20,000 and the CFO converting $110,000 of their respective debt into shares.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Petrolia Energy Corporation and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses from operation since inception and has a net working capital deficiency. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PETROLIA ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

Petrolia Energy 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC. 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. Significant estimates made in preparing these financial statements include asset retirement obligations (Note 10), income taxes (Note 11) and the estimate of proved oil and gas reserves and related present value estimates of future net cash flows therefrom (Note 12).

Reclassifications – Certain amounts previously presented for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net loss, working capital or equity previously reported.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Oil and Gas Properties — The Company follows the full cost accounting method to account for oil and natural gas properties, whereby costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on nonproducing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil and gas wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil and gas 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 to operations.

The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, excluding unevaluated and unproved properties, are amortized as depreciation, depletion and amortization expense using the units-of-production method based on estimated proved recoverable oil and gas reserves.

The costs associated with unevaluated and unproved properties, initially excluded from the amortization base, relate to unproved leasehold acreage, wells and production facilities in progress and wells pending determination of the existence of proved reserves, together with capitalized interest costs for these projects. Unproved leasehold costs are transferred to the amortization base with the costs of drilling the related well once a determination of the existence of proved reserves has been made or upon impairment of a lease. Costs associated with wells in progress and completed wells that have yet to be evaluated are transferred to the amortization base once a determination is made whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the property. Costs of dry wells are transferred to the amortization base immediately upon determination that the well is unsuccessful.

All items classified as unproved property are assessed on a quarterly basis for possible impairment or reduction in value. Properties are assessed on an individual basis or as a group if properties are individually insignificant. The assessment includes consideration of various factors, including, but not limited to, the following: intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; assignment of proved reserves; and economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. During any period in which these factors indicate an impairment, the cumulative drilling costs incurred to date for such property and all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are transferred to the full cost pool and become subject to amortization.

F-7

Table of Contents

Under full cost accounting rules for each cost center, capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties, including asset retirement costs, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, may not exceed an amount (the “cost ceiling”) equal to the sum of (a) the present value of future net cash flows from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves, based on current prices and operating conditions, discounted at ten percent (10%), plus (b) the cost of properties not being amortized, plus (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of any unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, less (d) any income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties involved. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to operations. For purposes of the ceiling test calculation, current prices are defined as the un-weighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month price for each month within the 12 month period prior to the end of the reporting period. Prices are adjusted for basis or location differentials. Unless sales contracts specify otherwise, prices are held constant for the productive life of each well. Similarly, current costs are assumed to remain constant over the entire calculation period. There was no impairment during the year ended December 31, 2016. In 2015, there was an impairment of $668,073 which was primarily due to the decrease in oil prices during the year.

Given the volatility of oil and gas prices, it is reasonably possible that the estimate of discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves could change in the near term. If oil and gas prices decline in the future, even if only for a short period of time, it is possible that impairments of oil and gas properties could occur. In addition, it is reasonably possible that impairments could occur if costs are incurred in excess of any increases in the present value of future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, or if properties are sold for proceeds less than the discounted present value of the related proved oil and gas reserves.

Revenue Recognition — Revenues from the sale of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids are recognized when the product is delivered at a fixed or determinable price, title has transferred; collectability is reasonably assured and evidenced by a contract. The Company follows the sales method of accounting for its oil and natural gas revenue, so it recognizes revenue on all crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids 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 the expected remaining proved reserves. The Company had no imbalance positions at December 31, 2016 or 2015. Charges for gathering and transportation are included in production expenses.

Receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts — Oil revenues receivable do not bear any interest. These receivables are primarily comprised of joint interest billings. Early in 2017, $117K of these receivables were provided as consideration towards the purchase of the 60% WI in TLSAU (see Note 13 for further explanation). We regularly review collectability and establish or adjust an allowance for uncollectible amounts as necessary using the specific identification method. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Management has determined that a reserve for uncollectible amounts was not required in the periods presented.

Asset Retirement Obligations — The Company records a liability for asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) associated with its oil and gas wells when those assets are placed in service. The corresponding cost is capitalized as an asset and included in the carrying amount of oil and gas properties and is depleted over the useful life of the properties. Subsequently, the ARO liability is accreted to its then-present value.

Inherent in the fair value calculation of an ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the fair value of the existing ARO liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. Settlements greater than or less than amounts accrued as ARO are recorded as a gain or loss upon settlement.

Debt Issuance Costs — Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the related debt and amortized over the term of the related debt.

Stock-Based Compensation — The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718. Stock-based compensation to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50. Equity instruments issued to other than employees are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments, and is recognized as expense over the service period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payments using the Black-Sholes option-pricing model for common stock options and warrants and the closing price of the Company’s common stock for common share issuances. The Company may grant stock to employees and contractors in exchange for services rendered.

Income Taxes — Income taxes are accounted for pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The Company provides for deferred taxes on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets using the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Table of Contents

Uncertain tax positions are recognized in the financial statements only if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision. There are currently no unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would affect the tax rate. There was no interest or penalties recognized for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The Company is required to file federal income tax returns in the United States and in various state and local jurisdictions. The Company’s tax returns filed since the 2012 tax year are subject to examination by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which it operates in accordance with the normal statutes of limitations in the applicable jurisdiction.

Furniture, equipment, and software — Furniture, equipment, and software are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related asset, generally three to five years. Fully depreciated assets are retained in property and accumulated depreciation accounts until they are removed from service. We perform ongoing evaluations of the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment for depreciation purposes. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. We periodically review our long-lived assets, other than oil and gas property, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. We recorded no impairment on our non-oil and gas long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share — Basic earnings (loss) 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 (loss) per share was 54,541,922 for 2016 and 24,875,600 for 2015. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) amounts would include the effect of outstanding stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities if including such potential shares of common stock is dilutive. Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same in all periods presented because losses are anti-dilutive.

Concentration of Credit Risk — The Company is subject to credit risk resulting from the concentration of its oil receivables with significant purchasers. Two purchasers accounted for all of the Company’s oil sales revenues for 2016 and 2015. The Company does not require collateral. While the Company believes its recorded receivable will be collected, in the event of default the Company would follow normal collection procedures. The Company does not believe the loss of a purchaser would materially impact its operating results as oil is a fungible product with a well-established market and numerous purchasers.

At times, the Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. Management monitors the credit ratings and concentration of risk with these financial institutions on a continuing basis to safeguard cash deposits.

Fair Value Measurements — The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Related Party – The Board approves all material related party transactions. The Board is provided with the details of each new, existing or proposed related party transaction, including the terms of the transaction, the business purpose of the transaction, and the benefits to the Company and the relevant related party. In determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the following factors are considered: (1) if the terms are fair to the Company, (2) if there are business reasons to enter into the transaction, (3) if the transaction would impair independence of an outside Director, (4) if the transaction would present an improper conflict of interest for any Director or executive officer. Any member of the Board who has an interest in the transaction will abstain from voting on the approval of the related party transaction.

Intangible Assets – Our intangible assets are subject to amortization and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are capitalized at their acquisition date fair value.

Equipment Sales – Revenues from the sale of oil and gas related equipment are recognized at the time of sale, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and the recovery of the consideration is probable.

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. GOING CONCERN

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and currently a working capital deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We plan to generate profits by drilling productive oil or gas wells. However, 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 do not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide us with any additional capital. If additional financing is not available when needed, we may need to cease operations. We may not be successful in raising the capital needed to drill oil or gas wells. Any wells that we 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. 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 4. NOTE RECEIVABLE

The Company purchased a Note Receivable from Blue Sky New Mexico, Inc. (“BSNM”) on November 4, 2015 with a face value of $1,300,000. BSNM had previously purchased this note from the Bankruptcy Trustee, it was an asset of the Orbit Petroleum bankruptcy liquidation. The Company issued six million (6,000,000) shares of common stock as consideration for the note. The dollar value of the shares on this date was $316,800, specifically 6,000,000 shares at a market price of $0.528 per share. The note bears an annual simple interest rate that accrues at the rate of 10%. The note is secured by mortgages on the Twin Lakes oil and gas leases.

On November 4, 2015, the note was past due and is considered to be in default. In February 2017, the Company included the note as consideration for the purchase of a 60% working interest in TLSAU, so it is no longer outstanding. See Note 13 for further explanation.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 9. OIL AND GAS ACQUISITIONS

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had completed the drilling of sixteen wells on the leased properties. Four of these wells have been pledged as collateral for the convertible notes payable.

On September 23, 2015, the Company 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 present CEO, is the former manager of Jovian. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired a 10% working interest (carrying a 7.8% NRI) in the SUDS field located in Creek County Oklahoma, in exchange for 10,586,805 shares of restricted common stock. Based on that current market value of Company common stock at $0.068 per share, the price paid was $719,903. Concurrently with the purchase, Jovian agreed to assign us all rights to be the operator of the SUDS unit under a standard operating agreement. The Company did not prepare an unaudited pro-forma income statement table for 2015, related to this SUDS purchase, because the net income effect of those transactions was consider to be immaterial.

On November 4, 2015, the Company acquired a 15% net working interest in the 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 BSNM, which was dated November 4, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”).

On February 1, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in Askarii Resources, a private Texas based oil & gas service company.

NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES

There was no provision for income taxes for 2016 and 2015 due to a net operating losses and doubt as to the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern resulting in a 100% valuation allowance. Years from 2012 forward are open to IRS examination.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate (35%) on operations due primarily to permanent differences attributable to organizational expenses.

Oil and Gas Reserve Information. MKM Engineering, an independent engineering firm, prepared the estimates of the proved reserves, future production, and income attributable to the leasehold interests as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. The estimated proved net recoverable reserves presented below include only those quantities that were expected to be commercially recoverable at prices and costs in effect at the balance sheet dates under the then existing regulatory practices and with conventional equipment and operating methods. Proved Developed Reserves represent only those reserves estimated to be recovered through existing wells. Proved Undeveloped Reserves include those reserves that may be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from existing wells on which a relatively major expenditure for recompletion or secondary recovery operations is required. All of the Company’s Proved Reserves are located onshore in the continental United States of America.

Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties. Estimates of fair value should also consider unproved reserves, anticipated future oil and gas prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations, any estimate of fair value is subjective and imprecise.

The following table sets forth estimates of the proved oil and gas reserves (net of royalty interests) for the Company and changes therein, for the periods indicated.

Estimated Quantities of Proved Undeveloped Reserves – Oil (Bbls)		1,021,230		446,740

The net increase –after production of 6,643 bbls– of “Total Proved Reserves” in the amount of 1,492,720 bbls from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016 was primarily because the Company acquired reserves in TSLAU and SUDS fields. This was offset by a reduction in reserve estimates by 58,297 barrels of oil. This resulted in an overall increase of 1,492,720 barrels of oil of “net proved reserves”.

The following table sets forth estimates of the proved developed and proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves (net of royalty interests) for the Company and changes therein, for the period indicates.

Acquired Reserves		568,257
Revisions to prior estimates		6,233

The increases in Proved Undeveloped (PUD) reserves were all due to the SUDS and TLSAU acquisitions.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows. The Standardized Measure related to proved oil and gas reserves is summarized below. Future cash inflows were computed by applying a twelve month average of the first day of the month prices to estimated future production, less estimated future expenditures (based on year end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, less estimated future income tax expense. Future income tax expenses are calculated by applying appropriate year-end tax rates to future pretax net cash flows, less the tax basis of properties involved. Future net cash flows are discounted at a rate of 10% annually to derive the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows. This calculation procedure does not necessarily result in an estimate of the fair market value or the present value of the Company.

On February 13, 2017, the Board of Directors approved the increase of board membership from its current five-member board to a seven-member board.

Effective February 12, 2017, the Company acquired an additional 60% net working interest in the “Twin Lakes San Andres Unit” or “TLSAU” field located in Chaves County, New Mexico (the “Net Working Interest”) resulting from the execution of a Settlement Agreement on February 12, 2016. The agreement assigned Dead Aim Investments’ (“Dead Aim”) 60% ownership interests to the Company. As a result of this transaction, Petrolia now owns 100% ownership interest in TLSAU. Consideration of $639,675 was given in exchange for Dead Aim’s working interest. The consideration includes the forgiveness of the Orbit Petroleum Inc Bankruptcy Estate (“OPBE”) note of $316,800 (with a $1.3 M face value) and the write off of $116,700 of Dead Aim’s outstanding accounts receivable to Petrolia. Dead Aim assumed liability for the OPBE note that Petrolia purchased.
