Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business

Effective April 2, 2012, Ante5, Inc. changed its corporate name to Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc., and continues to be quoted on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “ANFC”. Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. (formerly Ante5, Inc.) (the “Company” and “BROG”) became an independent company in April 2010. We became a publicly traded company when our shares began trading on July 1, 2010. From October 2010 through August 2019, we had been engaged in the business of acquiring oil and gas leases and participating in the drilling of wells in the Bakken and Three Forks trends in North Dakota and Montana and /or managing similar assets for third parties.

On September 26, 2017, the Company finalized an equity raise utilizing a rights offering and backstop agreement, raising net proceeds of $5,051,675 and issuing 1,439,400 shares. The proceeds were used to sponsor a special purpose acquisition company, discussed below, with the remainder for general corporate purposes.

On October 10, 2017, the Company’s sponsored special purpose acquisition company, Black Ridge Acquisition Corp. (“BRAC”), completed an IPO raising $138,000,000 of gross proceeds (including proceeds from the exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriters on October 18, 2017). In addition, the Company purchased 445,000 BRAC units at $10.00 per unit in a private placement transaction for a total contribution of $4,450,000 in order to fulfill its obligations in sponsoring BRAC, a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. BRAC’s efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to a particular industry or geographic region. Following the IPO and over-allotment, BROG owned 22% of the outstanding common stock of BRAC and managed BRAC’s operations via a management services agreement.

On December 19, 2018, BRAC entered into a business combination agreement and the business combination closed on August 9, 2019.

The Company currently owns 2,368,532 shares of Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AESE), the surviving entity after BRAC’s business combination (“Sponsor Shares”), after selling 316,968 shares for a total of $962,812, and warrants to purchase 505,000 shares of AESE (NASDAQ: AESEW) (“Sponsor Warrants”). Of the remaining Sponsor Shares, 537,100 are subject to distribution rights to officers and directors under the 2018 Management Incentive Plan dated March 6, 2018.

On June 9, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and S-FDF, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire $2.5 million in cash and certain assets and agreements related to the Seller’s freeze dried fruits and vegetables business for human consumption (the “Purchased Assets”) and enter into certain employment and registration rights agreements. The Company will not assume any liabilities of Seller or any liabilities, liens, or encumbrances pertaining to or encumbering the Purchased Assets except for those related to agreements or arrangements specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Subject to the terms of Asset Purchase Agreement, Seller will transfer the Purchased Assets to the Company in exchange for the issuance of 1,120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Seller representing 41.18% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (the “Seller Shares”). The amount of Seller Shares to be issued is subject to adjustment, as specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement, based on the extent to which the amount of cash proceeds held by the Company, as derived from the sale of the Company’s holdings of Sponsor Shares, are less than $5 million or greater than $6 million on the date specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Final Determination Date”). The Final Determination Date will be the first anniversary of the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement if closing occurs by January 1, 2021, and the Company has contributed $4 million to the business in the form of proceeds from either the sale of Sponsor Shares, proceeds from a financing secured by the AESE Shares, proceeds from an equity or convertible debt financing, legal fees paid in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement or expenses incurred by the Company after August 1, 2020 (the “Company Contribution”). If the Company Contribution is less than $4 million on January 1, 2021, then the Final Determination Date will be January 1, 2021. The Company expects to close the transaction on or about October 1, 2020, subject to extension by mutual agreement of the parties.

The Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated in the event of a material breach of the provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, by mutual consent of the Company and Seller, by either the Company or Seller after October 31, 2020 absent a material breach or failure to comply with the provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, or by either party upon payment of a $5 million termination fee.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The interim condensed financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to not make the information presented misleading.

These statements reflect all adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that these interim condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

Reclassifications

In the prior year, the income, expense and cash flows from Black Ridge Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary formed on October 10, 2017, which was consolidated as a variable interest entity through August 9, 2019, the date that BRAC completed a business combination with Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. (“AESE”), were consolidated and have been retrospectively classified as discontinued operations. In addition, prior period investment in Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. securities of $6,982,300 were reclassified from long term assets to current assets to conform to current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

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

Environmental Liabilities

The Company was formerly a direct owner of assets in the oil and gas industry. Oil and gas companies are subject, by their nature, to environmental hazard and clean-up costs. At this time, management knows of no substantial losses from environmental accidents or events which would have a material effect on the Company.

Cash in Excess of FDIC Limits

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) up to $250,000 and $500,000, respectively, under current regulations. The Company had $44,718 of cash in excess of SIPC insured limits at June 30, 2020. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding (if dilutive) during each period. Potential common shares include stock options, warrants and restricted stock. The number of potential common shares outstanding relating to stock options, warrants and restricted stock is computed using the treasury stock method.

The reconciliation of the denominators used to calculate basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. Stock options and warrants excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect was anti-dilutive were 378,871 and 36,788 as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company had no items that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Expenditures for replacements, renewals, and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment to determine if current circumstances and market conditions indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Depreciation expense was $650 and $623 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognized revenue from management services through our previously consolidated Special Purpose Acquisition Company (“SPAC”), Black Ridge Acquisition Corp. until December 31, 2019.

Revenue was primarily generated from BRAC in the form of management services performed within the state of Minnesota on a fixed fee basis. Revenue from the performance of those services was recognized upon completion of the services, at which time the services were delivered to the customer, and collectability of the fee was reasonably assured. We typically required payment within thirty days of the completion of services. Management estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of its receivables.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 2018-07 (ASC 2018-07). All transactions in which the consideration provided in exchange for the purchase of goods or services consists of the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty’s performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance. Stock-based compensation was $70,943 and $55,818, consisting entirely of expenses related to common stock options issued for services for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and an effective term of 6 to 6.5 years based on the weighted average of the vesting periods and the stated term of the option grants and the discount rate on 5 to 7 year U.S. Treasury securities at the grant date. In addition, $377,440 of expenses related to the amortization of warrants issued in consideration of personal guarantees provided for debt financing for the six months ended June 30, 2020, using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and an effective term of 5 years based on the weighted average of the vesting periods and the stated term of the warrant grants and the discount rate on 5 year U.S. Treasury securities at the grant date were recognized as interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Uncertain Tax Positions

In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

BLACK RIDGE OIL & GAS, INC.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Various taxing authorities may periodically audit the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.

The assessment of the Company’s tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed below, management believes there have been no developments to recently issued accounting standards, including expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on our financial statements, from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2019.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. The amendments in ASU 2018-10 provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on certain aspects of the previously issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) and have the same effective and transition requirements as ASU 2016-02. Upon the effective date, ASU 2018-10 will supersede the current lease guidance in ASC Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis. Concurrently, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2018-10 is effective for private companies and emerging growth public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is required to be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative periods presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019, and the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s combined financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 3 – Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, as of June 30, 2020, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $33,286,196. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s cash on hand may not be sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently seeking sources of capital to fund the requirements of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Company intends to sell its AESE shares to continue as a going concern, however, there can be no assurance the share price will be sufficient to sustain operations, therefore the Company may be dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are also no assurances that the Company will be successful; therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 – Related Party

On March 1, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved and adopted the Black Ridge Gas, Inc. 2018 Management Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and the form of 2018 Management Incentive Plan Award Agreement (the “Award Agreement”).

In connection with the approval of the Plan and Award Agreement, the Board approved the issuance of awards (the “Awards”) to certain individuals including officers and directors (the “Grantees”), representing a percentage of the shares of BRAC held by the Company as of the date of closing of a business combination for the acquisition of a target business as described in the BRAC prospectus dated October 4, 2017, as follows:

Following the AESE merger on August 9, 2019, the Company owned 2,685,500 shares of AESE common stock. During the quarter ending June 30, 2020, the Company sold 316,968 shares for a total of $962,812, leaving 2,368,532 shares owned in AESE common stock. Of these 2,368,532 shares, 537,100 shares (the “AESE Plan Shares”) are committed to employees and directors of the Company. Employees and directors are required to remain in their positions for a one-year period from the AESE merger, with certain exceptions, to receive the granted shares. The AESE Plan Shares had a fair market value of $1,133,281 on June 30, 2020. The Company recognized $1,396,460 of compensation expense related to the Plan during the year ended December 31, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized a gain of $263,179 related to the reduction in the value of the shares to be paid to employees on August 10, 2020, which was offset against the Company’s loss on the investment in AESE shares due to changes in the AESE market price between December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020. Subsequent adjustments will be required each quarter to adjust the deferred compensation liability until the shares can be transferred to the employees.

Note 5 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

The Company has cash and cash equivalents and a revolving credit facility that must be measured under the fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Note 8 – Investment in Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc.

Following the close of BRAC’s merger, the Company retained 2,685,500 shares of Allied Esports Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ: AESE) common stock with a value, based on the closing stock of $4.45 on the merger, of $11,950,475, and tradeable warrants to purchase 505,000 shares of AESE (NASDAQ: AESEW) (“Sponsor Warrants”), of which the Company currently owns 2,368,532 shares, after selling 316,968 shares for a total of $962,812 during the second quarter of 2020, and the warrants to purchase 505,000 Sponsor Warrants. As noted in Note 4 - Related Party Transactions, 20% or 537,100, of the shares are committed to be released to employees one year from the date of the merger, or on August 10, 2020. Therefore, the Company recorded a deferred compensation liability of $1,133,281 to recognize the commitment to employees as of June 30, 2020.

As of June 30, 2020, the market value of the Company’s investment in AESE’s common stock was $4,997,603, based on the closing stock price of $2.11 per share, and the investment in AESEW was $75,750, based on the closing warrant price of $0.15 per warrant, for a total investment in AESE securities of $5,073,353, resulting in gains and losses on our investment in securities, as follows:

On January 2, 2020, the Company deposited 500,000 shares of its holdings of AESE pursuant to its brokerage account agreement with RBC Capital Markets, LLC. These shares were subsequently used as collateral for the $700,000 promissory note, described below, pursuant to a commercial pledge and security agreement, dated March 10, 2020. On February 10, 2020, an additional 66,000 of AESE shares were deposited into this brokerage account. Under this standard brokerage agreement, the Company will be able to borrow funds secured by the value of the AESE shares pursuant to a standard margin account arrangement. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company sold 316,968 of these shares for total proceeds of $962,812, resulting in a gain on investment of $363,813. The value of the remaining 249,032 deposited AESE shares is $525,458 based on a closing price of $2.11 as of June 30, 2020.

Note 10 – Changes in Stockholders’ Equity

Reverse Stock Split

On February 21, 2020, the Company effected a 1-for-300 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”). No fractional shares were issued. Instead, the Company issued the following to any stockholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split:

Any cash payment in lieu of fractional shares were based on the volume weighted average of the closing sales prices of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. (the “OTCQB”) during regular trading hours for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Effective Date, which was $0.018 per share prior to the effects of the reverse stock split.

The Company was authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock prior to the Reverse Stock Split, which remains unaffected. The Reverse Stock Split did not have any effect on the stated par value of the common stock, or the Company’s authorized preferred stock. Unless otherwise stated, all share and per share information in this Interim Report has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Preferred Stock

The Company has 20,000,000 authorized shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. No shares have been issued to date.

Common Stock

The Company has 500,000,000 authorized shares of $0.001 par value common stock. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, a total of 1,600,424 shares of common stock have been issued.

Note 13 – Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which provides for an asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributed to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated for income tax purposes.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Losses incurred during the period from April 9, 2011 (inception) to June 30, 2020 could be used to offset future tax liabilities. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2020, net deferred tax assets were $6,564,319, with no deferred tax liability, primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards. A valuation allowance of approximately $6,564,319 was applied to the net deferred tax assets. Therefore, BROG has no tax expense for 2020 to date.

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no significant uncertain tax positions as of any date on, or before June 30, 2020.

Note 14 – Commitments

The Company from time to time may be involved in various inquiries, administrative proceedings and litigation relating to matters arising in the normal course of business. The Company is not aware of any inquiries or administrative proceedings and is not currently a defendant in any material litigation and is not aware of any threatened litigation that could have a material effect on the Company.

The Company periodically maintains cash balances at banks in excess of federally insured amounts. The extent of loss, if any, to be sustained as a result of any future failure of a bank or other financial institution is not subject to estimation at this time.

Note 15 – Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date through the date these financial statements were issued.

On July 9, 2020, the Company sold an additional 20,000 shares of AESE stock in accordance with the 10b5-1 plan, dated June 15, 2020 at an average price of $2.50 per share, resulting in total proceeds of $50,000. 

On August 10, 2020, the Company sold another 113,000 shares of AESE stock in accordance with the 10b5-1 plan. The shares were sold at an average price of $2.0191 per share, resulting in total proceeds of $228,158. Of these share sales, 101,098 shares were sold on behalf of the employees out of the 2018 Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) in order to cover payroll tax withholdings, and the remaining 11,902 shares, were sold by the Company to fund the employer’s portion of payroll taxes. The remaining 436,002 shares of the 537,100 shares previously committed under the MIP are being distributed to employees. After the distribution and recent sales, the Company still holds 1,799,530 shares of AESE common stock.

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

Cautionary Statements

We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect our company and to take advantage of the “safe harbor” protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities law affords.

From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf may make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our company. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding our financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations and industry conditions are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by terms or phrases such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “plan,” “intend,” “seek,” “goal,” “will,” “should,” “may” or other words and similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Items making assumptions regarding actual or potential future sales, market size, collaborations, trends or operating results also constitute such forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors (many of which are beyond our control) that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements include the following:

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results in these statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.

Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in our reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected.

Overview and Outlook

Effective April 2, 2012, we changed our name to Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. Our common stock is still quoted on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “ANFC.”

As the sponsor and manager of Black Ridge Acquisition Corp. beginning in May of 2017, the Company was focused on identifying and closing a business combination for BRAC, which closed on August 9, 2019. Upon BRAC (renamed Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. following the merger or “AESE”, and hereafter named as such following the merger) completing its business combination, we continued to provide additional management services to BRAC until December 31, 2019.

Following the close of the Merger, the Company commenced a strategic review to identify, review and explore alternatives for the Company, including a merger, acquisition, or a business combination. The result of that review is the transaction with S-FDF described below. The Company currently owns 2,368,532 Sponsor Shares, after selling 316,968 shares for a total of $962,812. Of those remaining shares, 537,100 of the Sponsor Shares are subject to distribution rights to officers and directors under the 2018 Management Incentive Plan dated March 6, 2018. Black Ridge expects to use the remaining Sponsor Shares to fulfill its obligations related to the Asset Purchase Agreement described below.

On June 9, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, between the Company and S-FDF, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, pursuant to which the Company will acquire $2.5 million in cash and certain assets and agreements related to the Seller’s freeze dried fruits and vegetables business for human consumption and enter into certain employment and registration rights agreements. The Company will not assume any liabilities of Seller or any liabilities, liens, or encumbrances pertaining to or encumbering the Purchased Assets except for those related to agreements or arrangements specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Subject to the terms of Asset Purchase Agreement, Seller will transfer the Purchased Assets to the Company in exchange for the issuance of 1,120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Seller representing 41.18% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. The amount of Seller Shares to be issued is subject to adjustment, as specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement, based on the extent to which the amount of cash proceeds held by the Company, as derived from the sale of the Company’s holdings of Sponsor Shares, are less than $5 million or greater than $6 million on the date specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Final Determination Date will be the first anniversary of the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement if closing occurs by January 1, 2021, and the Company has contributed $4 million to the business in the form of proceeds from either the sale of Sponsor Shares, proceeds from a financing secured by the AESE Shares, proceeds from an equity or convertible debt financing, legal fees paid in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement or expenses incurred by the Company after August 1, 2020. If the Company Contribution is less than $4 million on January 1, 2021, then the Final Determination Date will be January 1, 2021. The Company expects to close the transaction on or about October 1, 2020, subject to extension by mutual agreement of the parties.

Going Concern Uncertainty

As of June 30, 2020, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $33,286,196, and as of June 30, 2020, the Company’s cash on hand may not be sufficient to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently seeking sources of capital to fund the requirements of the Asset Purchase Agreement including selling its shares of AESE or other sources of capital. The Company intends to sell its AESE shares to continue as a going concern, however, there can be no assurance the share price will be sufficient to sustain operations, therefore the Company may be dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are also no assurances that the Company will be successful; therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

We continue to pursue sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements, including joint venturing of projects, equity or debt financing or other means. We may not be successful in identifying suitable funding transactions in a sufficient time period or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. If we do not succeed in raising additional capital, our resources may not be sufficient to fund our business.

The report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies its audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A contains an explanatory paragraph regarding the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the going concern uncertainty.

There was no other income (expenses) during the comparative three months ended June 30, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our total current assets, liabilities and working capital at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

As of June 30, 2020, we had working capital of $4,475,466. Liabilities of $1,133,281 related to the 2018 Management Incentive Plan are included in current liabilities as of June 30, 2020, which will be settled in common stock from the Company’s Investment in Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc., a long-term asset.

The following table summarizes our cash flows during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Net cash used in operating activities was $682,885 and $2,127,947 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a period over period improvement of $1,445,062. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1,388,920 in net losses in discontinued operations of BRAC. Changes in working capital from continuing operating activities resulted in a decrease in cash used in operating activities of $56,142 in the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to a decrease in cash used in operating activities of $455,571 for the same period in the previous year.

Net cash provided by investing activities were $962,812 and $892,514 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Cash provided by investing activities were comprised of proceeds of $962,812 from the sale of Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. securities during the six months ended June 30, 2020. In the comparative period ended June 30, 2019, virtually all the cash was provided from discontinued operations and was the result of transfers and withdrawals from the Trust Account.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $262,925 and $-0- for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. All of the 2020 activity was the result of $802,025 of net proceeds from notes payable, as offset by $539,100 of repayments.

Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months

As of June 30, 2020, our balance of cash was $651,608 and we had total working capital of $4,475,466. We expect to incur significant costs related to a potential business combination which will put a strain on our cash resources. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through cash on hand and the sale of its AESE shares, however, there can be no assurance the share price will be sufficient to cover our cash obligations for the next 12 months, therefore, additional financing in the form of equity or debt may be needed. The Company realized $962,812 of proceeds on the sale of 316,968 shares of AESE stock, and received proceeds of $112,925 on a PPP loan and $150,000 of proceeds on an EIDL loan to be used as working capital to alleviate economic injury caused by COVID-19 during the second quarter of 2020. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement we entered into with S-FDF, LLC on June 9, 2020, we will need to contribute $4 million to the business in the form of proceeds from either the sale of Sponsor Shares, proceeds from a financing secured by the AESE Shares, or proceeds from equity or convertible debt financing by January 1, 2020. The net fair value of the Sponsor Shares and Sponsor Warrants, less the deferred compensation under the Management Incentive Plan Award Agreement is approximately $4 million currently, however, there can be no assurance we will be able to realize these proceeds upon the sale of the securities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements required us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results and experiences may differ materially from these estimates.

Our critical accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the footnotes to our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and Note 2 of the footnotes to the financial statements provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our management, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, who is one in the same, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2020. As part of such evaluation, management considered the matters discussed below relating to internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation our management, including The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020 to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Other than routine legal proceedings incident to our business, there are no material legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

The outbreak of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has negatively impacted and could continue to negatively impact the global economy. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could disrupt or otherwise negatively impact global credit markets, our operations and our efforts to identify, review and explore alternatives for the Company, including a merger, acquisition, or a business combination.

The significant outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis, which has negatively impacted and could continue to negatively impact the global economy. In addition, the global and regional impact of the outbreak, including official or unofficial quarantines and governmental restrictions on activities taken in response to such event, could have a negative impact on our operations and our ability to identify, review and explore alternatives for the Company. More broadly, the outbreak could potentially reduce the value of the AESE Shares that we own and impact the shares of the Company that we may be required to issue to Sellers under the S-FDF Asset Purchase Agreement.

The COVID-19 outbreak could disrupt or otherwise negatively impact credit and equity markets, which could adversely affect the availability and cost of capital. Such impacts could limit our ability to obtain additional funding through various financing transactions or arrangements, including equity or debt financing or other means.

A pandemic typically results in social distancing, travel bans and quarantines, and this may limit access to our management, support staff, professional advisors and our independent auditors. These factors, in turn, may not only impact our operations, financial condition and our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Also, it may hamper our efforts to comply with our filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, it could impact the ability to complete construction and commence operations of the S-FDF business following the anticipated closing.

The extent and potential short and long term impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business will depend on future developments, including the duration, severity and spread of the virus, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities and the impact on the financial markets, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. These and other potential impacts of an epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could therefore materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
