<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In connection with the contribution of the Contributed Properties by Masterson West, at the final closing, Masterson West II will assume a credit facility affiliated with the Contributed Properties that has approximately $20,000,000 outstanding as of the date hereof.&#160; Masterson West and the Company intends to use the cash consideration paid by the Company at the final closing to pay down such credit facility and/or as working capital to continue to develop the Contributed Properties.&#160; If the proceeds are used to pay down part or all of such credit facility, the credit facility will be used to continue to develop the Contributed Properties.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">All of Contributed Properties are located in Moore and Potter Counties in Texas and the wells to be included in such Contributed Properties primarily target the red cave formation at a depth of 2,100 to 2,300 feet.&#160; Masterson West and affiliate of Masterson West, Adams Affiliates Inc., have owned and operated the Contributed Properties for over 20 years.&#160; The Company has targeted this transaction for a number of reasons.&#160; First, the Contributed Properties are currently producing approximately 1,000 barrels of oil per day equivalent and include approximately 8,000 net acres of leasehold that are held by such production.&#160; Second, the Company believes this transaction is a lower risk oil-weighted infill drilling opportunity as Masterson West has identified approximately 380 locations to develop on five to ten acre spacing units, with approximately 200 proved undeveloped drilling locations.&#160; The Company estimates the total cost to complete each well will be approximately $250,000.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">On February 18, 2017, Gary C. Adams, the majority owner of Masterson West unexpectedly passed away. As a result of this development, the final closing did not occur on April 1, 2017, the final close date&#160; per the Contribution Agreement. Though the transaction did not close before the stated final closing date, the Agreement remains in effect until one or both parties serve a notice of termination. As of the date of this filing, neither party has elected to terminate the Contribution Agreement. The Company is continuing its discussions with representatives of Masterson West regarding the continuation of the Contribution Agreement.</div>

Masterson West and affiliate of Masterson West,&#13;Adams Affiliates Inc., have owned and operated the Contributed Properties for over 20 years.&amp;#160; The Company has targeted this&#13;transaction for a number of reasons.&amp;#160; First, the Contributed Properties are currently producing approximately 1,000 barrels&#13;of oil per day equivalent and include approximately 8,000 net acres of leasehold that are held by such production.&amp;#160; Second,&#13;the Company believes this transaction is a lower risk oil-weighted infill drilling opportunity as Masterson West has identified&#13;approximately 380 locations to develop on five to ten acre spacing units, with approximately 200 proved undeveloped drilling locations.&amp;#160;&#13;The Company estimates the total cost to complete each well will be approximately $250,000.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

Though the transaction&#13;did not close before the stated final closing date, the Agreement remains in effect until one or both parties serve a notice of&#13;termination. As of the date of this filing, neither party has elected to terminate the Contribution Agreement. The Company is&#13;continuing its discussions with representatives of Masterson West regarding the continuation of the Contribution Agreement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:InvestmentHoldingsTextBlock>

company (&#34;Masterson West II&#34;).&#160;&#160; Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, among other things, (a) at the initial
closing, the Company agreed to contribute 2,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the &#34;Common Stock&#34;),
to Masterson West II, along with an additional 38,000,000 shares of Common Stock and (b) at the final closing, Masterson West
has an obligation to contribute certain oil and gas properties (the &#34;Contributed Properties&#34;) to Masterson West II in
exchange for the Company contributing cash of not less than $9,000,000 and up to $18,000,000 to Masterson West II.&#160; There
is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure the funds necessary for the final closing.&#160; Under the terms of the
Agreement, the final closing was scheduled to occur no later than April 1, 2017.&#160; After April 1, 2017 either party has the
right to terminate the Agreement.&#160; If the final closing occurs, the Company will own 50% of Masterson West II if it delivers
$18,000,000 of cash at the final closing and 25% of Masterson West II if it delivers $9,000,000 of cash at the final closing.</font></p>

on December 22, 2016, the Company entered into a limited liability agreement of Masterson West II with Masterson West (the &#34;LLC

a distribution of the 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, but is only entitled to a distribution of all or a portion of the 38,000,000
shares of Common Stock if and when the final closing occurs.</font></p>

connection with the contribution of the Contributed Properties by Masterson West, at the final closing, Masterson West II will
assume a credit facility affiliated with the Contributed Properties that has approximately $20,000,000 outstanding as of the date
hereof.&#160; Masterson West and the Company intends to use the cash consideration paid by the Company at the final closing to
pay down such credit facility and/or as working capital to continue to develop the Contributed Properties.&#160; If the proceeds
are used to pay down part or all of such credit facility, the credit facility will be used to continue to develop the Contributed
Properties.</font></p>

of Contributed Properties are located in Moore and Potter Counties in Texas and the wells to be included in such Contributed Properties
primarily target the red cave formation at a depth of 2,100 to 2,300 feet.&#160; Masterson West and affiliate of Masterson West,
Adams Affiliates Inc., have owned and operated the Contributed Properties for over 20 years.&#160; The Company has targeted this
transaction for a number of reasons.&#160; First, the Contributed Properties are currently producing approximately 1,000 barrels
of oil per day equivalent and include approximately 8,000 net acres of leasehold that are held by such production.&#160; Second,
the Company believes this transaction is a lower risk oil-weighted infill drilling opportunity as Masterson West has identified
approximately 380 locations to develop on five to ten acre spacing units, with approximately 200 proved undeveloped drilling locations.&#160;
The Company estimates the total cost to complete each well will be approximately $250,000.</font></p>

February 18, 2017, Gary C. Adams, the majority owner of Masterson West unexpectedly passed away. As a result of this development,
the final closing did not occur on April 1, 2017, the final close date&#160; per the Contribution Agreement. Though the transaction
did not close before the stated final closing date, the Agreement remains in effect until one or both parties serve a notice of
termination. As of the date of this filing, neither party has elected to terminate the Contribution Agreement. The Company is
continuing its discussions with representatives of Masterson West regarding the continuation of the Contribution Agreement.</font></p><span></span>

Earnings per Share (&#34;EPS&#34;) gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The computation
of Diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect
on losses.&#160; As a result, if there is a loss from continuing operations, Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as Basic
EPS.&#160; At September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had 1,154,167 and 2,946,250 options outstanding ,respectively,&#160;&#160;
that were not included in the calculation of earnings per share for the periods then ended.&#160; Such financial instruments may
become dilutive and would then need to be included in future calculations of Diluted EPS.&#160; At September 30, 2017 and 2016,
the outstanding options were considered anti-dilutive since the strike prices were above the market price and since the Company
has incurred losses year to date.</font></p>

diligence, and administrative support. The options immediately vested and expire after 2 years. 600,000 of the options have a
strike price of 15 cents, with the remainder, 550,000, having a strike price of 25 cents. The Company recorded an expense of $65,660
