<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">During 2015, the Company entered into two Lease Option Agreements primarily in South Dakota.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In the first, with BHPP Group, the Company had an exclusive option for a period of two years ended April 8, 2017 to enter into oil and gas leases with respect to mineral interests owned by BHPP in Haakon, Meade, and Pennington Counties in South Dakota.&#160; The Lease Option Agreement covered approximately 150,000 gross leasable acres.&#160; The Company granted BHPP the option to acquire 1,000,000 shares of the Company's stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Under Lease Option Agreement II, with Anderson Brothers, the Company had an exclusive option for a period of two years ended April 30, 2017 to enter into oil and lease leases with respect to mineral interests owned by the Anderson Brothers in Perkins and Harding Counties in South Dakota and Adams County in North Dakota.&#160; The Lease Option Agreement covered approximate 10,000 gross leasable acres.&#160; The Company granted Anderson Brothers the option to acquire 250,000 shares of the Company's stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Both lease options were determined to be impaired at the end of 2016 due to management's expectation that the lease options would not be exercised prior to expiring in April 2017.&#160; The result of the impairment was the write off of the carrying value of the lease options as of December 31, 2016.</div>

<div><br>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Investment in Masterson West II</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">On December 22, 2016, the Company entered into a subscription and contribution agreement with Masterson West, LLC ("Masterson West") (the "Contribution Agreement") relating to the newly formed Masterson West II, LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Masterson West II").&#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 "Common Stock"), 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 "Contributed Properties") 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; The final closing was scheduled to occur no later than April 1, 2017.&#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.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Also on December 22, 2016, the Company entered into a limited liability agreement of Masterson West II with Masterson West (the "LLC Agreement").&#160; Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and the LLC Agreement, Masterson West is immediately entitled to 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.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<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><br>
</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>

As a result of this development, the final closing did not occur on April 1, 2017, the final close date 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 a potential transaction with Masterson West.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-ALIGN: left">Changes in Directors and Executive Officers</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">On December 22, 2016, J. C. Whorton, Jr. resigned as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.&#160; On December 23, 2016, the sole remaining member of the Board of Directors, Michael R. Morrisett, appointed Anthony N. Kamin to fill the vacancy on the Board of Directors created by Mr. Whorton's resignation.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">On November 28, 2017, Thomas Pritchard was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Competition</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The oil and gas business is extremely competitive.&#160; The Company must compete with many long-established companies with greater financial resources and technical capabilities.&#160; The Company is not a significant participant in the oil and gas industry.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Markets; Price Volatility</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The market price of oil and gas is volatile, subject to speculative movement and depends upon numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including expectations regarding inflation, global and regional demand, political and economic conditions and production costs. Future profitability, if any, will depend substantially upon the prevailing prices for oil and gas.&#160; If the market price for oil and gas remains depressed in the future, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to raise additional capital necessary to finance operations. Lower oil and gas prices may also reduce the amount of oil and gas, if any, that can be produced economically from the Company's properties.&#160; The Company anticipates that the prices of oil and gas will fluctuate somewhat in the near future.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Regulation</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The oil and gas industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the production, transportation and sale of hydrocarbons as well as the taxation of income resulting therefrom.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Legislation affecting the oil and gas industry is constantly changing.&#160; Numerous federal and state departments and agencies have issued rules and regulations applicable to the oil and gas industry.&#160; In general, these rules and regulations regulate, among other things, the extent to which acreage may be acquired or relinquished; spacing of wells; measures required for preventing waste of oil and gas resources; and, in some cases, rates of production.&#160; The heavy and increasing regulatory burdens on the oil and gas industry increase the Company's cost of doing business and, consequently, affect profitability.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Many times leases are granted by the federal government and administered by the BLM and the Minerals Management Service ("MMS") of the U.S. Department of the Interior, both of which are federal agencies.&#160; Such leases are issued through competitive bidding, contain relatively standardized terms and require compliance with detailed BLM and MMS regulations and orders (which are subject to change by the BLM and the MMS).&#160; Leases are also accompanied by stipulations imposing restrictions on surface use and operations.&#160; Operations to be conducted by the Company on federal oil and gas leases must comply with numerous regulatory restrictions, including various nondiscrimination statutes.&#160; Federal leases also generally require a complete archaeology and environmental impact assessment prior to the authorization of an exploration or development plan.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The oil and gas operations are also subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection. These laws govern, among other things, the amounts and types of substances and materials that may be released into the environment, the issuance of permits in connection with exploration, drilling and production activities, the reclamation and abandonment of wells and facility sites and the remediation of contaminated sites.&#160; These laws and regulations may impose substantial liabilities if the Company fails to comply or if any contamination results from the Company's operations.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The Subscription and Contribution agreements require the Company to raise between $9,000,000 and $18,000,000 of new capital, the majority of which will be contributed to Masterson West II in exchange for Class B Common Shares.&#160;The Company may not be successful at raising the required capital which will result in the cancellation of the agreements. 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 under the Subscription and Contribution Agreement did not occur. As of the date of this filing, either party may terminate the Subscription and Contribution Agreement, but neither party has elected to do so.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The Company does not have any significant on-going income producing oil and gas properties and has limited financial resources.</div>

The Company also had an accumulated deficit of $(16,111,215) as of December 31, 2017. The Company can provide no assurance that it will be profitable in the future and, if the Company does not become profitable, it may have to suspend its operations. As a result of the foregoing, the audit report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm relating to the Company's financial statements has been modified because of a going concern uncertainty.&#160; If the Company is able to raise the funds necessary to continue its operations, its future performance will be dependent on the success of its investments. The failure of completing the investment in Masterson West II or other drilling activities to achieve sufficient quantities of economically attractive reserves and production would have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, operations and financial results.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Even if the Company's drilling activities achieve commercial quantities of economically attractive reserves and production revenue, the Company will remain subject to prevailing prices for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, which are dependent upon numerous factors such as weather, economic, political and regulatory developments and competition from other sources of energy. The volatile nature of the energy markets makes it particularly difficult to estimate future prices of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. Prices of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in circumstances, and there can be no assurance that future prolonged decreases in such prices will not occur. All of these factors are beyond the control of the Company.&#160; Any significant decline in oil and gas prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, operations and financial condition.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In accordance with customary industry practice, the Company has relied and will rely on independent third-party service providers to provide most of the services necessary to drill new wells, including drilling rigs and related equipment and services, horizontal drilling equipment and services, trucking services, tubulars, fracing and completion services and production equipment. The industry has experienced significant price fluctuations for these services during the last year and this trend is expected to continue into the future.&#160; These cost uncertainties could, in the future, significantly increase the Company's development costs and decrease the return possible from drilling and development activities, and possibly render the development of certain proved undeveloped reserves uneconomical.</div>

In addition, the Company's properties may be susceptible to hydrocarbon drainage from production by other operators on adjacent properties. Industry operating risks include the risk of fire, explosions, blow-outs, pipe failure, abnormally pressured formations and environmental hazards such as oil spills, gas leaks, ruptures or discharges of toxic gases, the occurrence of any of which could result in substantial losses to the Company due to injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and suspension of operations.</div>

Any failure by the Company to obtain required permits for, control the use of, or adequately restrict the discharge of hazardous substances under present or future regulations could subject the Company to substantial liability or could cause its operations to be suspended. Such liability or suspension of operations could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.</div>

In addition, the production, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of oil and gas, by-products thereof and other substances and materials produced or used in connection with oil and gas operations are subject to regulation under federal, state and local laws and regulations primarily relating to protection of human health and the environment. To date, expenditures related to complying with these laws and for remediation of existing environmental contamination have not been significant in relation to the operations of the Company.

Even if the Company is performing according to its plan and there is no legitimate company-specific financial basis for this volatility, it must still be expected that substantial percentage price swings will occur in the Company's Common Stock for the foreseeable future.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Because estimates and assumptions require significant judgment, future actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The Company re-evaluates its estimates and assumptions at least on a quarterly basis. The following policies may involve a higher degree of estimation and assumption:</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Successful Efforts Accounting - Under the successful efforts method of accounting, the Company capitalizes all costs related to property acquisitions and successful exploratory wells, all development costs and the costs of support equipment and facilities. Certain costs of exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination that proved reserves have been found.&#160; Such determination is dependent upon the results of planned additional wells and the cost of required capital expenditures to produce the reserves found.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">All costs related to unsuccessful exploratory wells are expensed when such wells are determined to be non-productive and other exploration costs, including geological and geophysical costs, are expensed as incurred. The application of the successful efforts method of accounting requires management's judgment to determine the proper designation of wells as either developmental or exploratory, which will ultimately determine the proper accounting treatment of the costs incurred. The results from a drilling operation can take considerable time to analyze, and the determination that commercial reserves have been discovered requires both judgment and application of industry experience. Wells may be completed that are assumed to be productive and actually deliver oil and gas in quantities insufficient to be economic, which may result in the abandonment of the wells at a later date. The evaluation of oil and gas leasehold acquisition costs requires management's judgment to estimate the fair value of exploratory costs related to drilling activity in a given area.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Impairment of unproved oil and gas properties - Capitalized drilling costs are reviewed periodically for impairment. Costs related to impaired prospects or unsuccessful exploratory drilling are charged to expense. Management's assessment of the results of exploration activities, commodity price outlooks, planned future sales or expiration of all or a portion of such leaseholds impact the amount and timing of impairment provisions. An impairment expense could result if oil and gas prices decline in the future as it may not be economic to develop some of these unproved properties.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Estimates of future dismantlement, restoration, and abandonment costs - the Company accounts for future abandonment costs of wells and related facilities in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.&#160; Under this method of accounting, the accrual for future dismantlement and abandonment costs is based on estimates of these costs for each of the Company's properties based upon the type of production structure, reservoir characteristics, depth of the reservoir, market demand for equipment, currently available procedures and consultations with construction and engineering consultants. Because these costs typically extend many years into the future, estimating these future costs is difficult and requires management to make estimates and judgments that are subject to future revisions based upon numerous factors, including changing technology and the political and regulatory environment and, estimates as to the proper discount rate to use and timing of abandonment.</div>

</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.&#160; Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.&#160; The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.&#160; As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.&#160; Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</div>

</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.&#160; Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.&#160; Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.&#160; We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Diluted Earnings per Share ("EPS") 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 December 31, 2016 and 2017, the Company had 3,287,500 and 8,775,167 options and warrants outstanding, respectively, 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 December 31, 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.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.&#160; Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.&#160; Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established if management determines it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance on accounting for asset retirement obligations, which among other matters, addresses financial accounting and reporting for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This guidance requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred, with the associated asset retirement cost capitalized as part of the related asset and allocated to expense over the asset's useful life.&#160; The Company applies its analysis to producing wells.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">(h) Recent Accounting Pronouncements:</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">FASB periodically issues new accounting standards in a continuing effort to improve standards of financial accounting and reporting. The Company has reviewed the recently issued pronouncements and concluded that the following new accounting standards are applicable:</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02: "Leases (Topic 842)" which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions.&#160; This ASU will require organizations ("lessees") that lease assets with lease terms of more than twelve months to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases.&#160; Organizations that own the assets leased by lessees ("lessors") will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP.&#160; In addition, this ASU will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.&#160; The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted.&#160; Based on management's initial assessment, ASU No. 2016-02 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.&#160; The Company is a lessee on an office lease; however since the lease is on a month to month basis it would not record a right of use asset or liability.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: left">In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09 which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. Entities should apply the modification accounting guidance if the value, vesting conditions or classification of the award changes. ASU 2017-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted and prospective application is required. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">On December 22, 2016, the Company entered into a subscription and contribution agreement with Masterson West, LLC ("Masterson West") (the "Contribution Agreement") relating to the newly formed Masterson West II, LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Masterson West II").&#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 "Common Stock"), 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 "Contributed Properties") 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; The final closing is scheduled to occur no later than April 1, 2017.&#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.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Also on December 22, 2016, the Company entered into a limited liability agreement of Masterson West II with Masterson West (the "LLC Agreement").&#160; Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and the LLC Agreement, Masterson West is immediately entitled to 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.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<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><br>
</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">&#160;</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">As stated above, if the final closing does not occur, the Contributed Properties will not be transferred to Masterson West II and the additional 38,000,000 shares of the Common Stock will not be issued by the Company.&#160; Also as stated above, under the Contribution Agreement, the final closing was scheduled to occur no later than April 1, 2017.&#160; However, on February 18, 2017, the majority owner of Masterson West, Gary C. Adams, unexpectedly passed away.&#160;&#160;&#160;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 a potential acquisition.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">At December 31, 2017, the Company has accumulated net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $9,800,000 which&#160;&#160; begin to expire if not utilized starting in 2018.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">On December 22, 2017 H.R. 1, originally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the "Tax Act") was enacted. Among the significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Tax Act lowers the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate ("Federal Tax Rate") from 35% to 21% effective&#160; January 1, 2018.&#160; The Company must re-measure its net deferred tax assets and liabilities using the Federal Tax Rate that will apply when these amounts are expected to reverse. Accordingly, the Company utilized a 21% tax rate to evaluate its net deferred taxes for the period ended December 31, 2017.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Utilization of the Company's loss carryforwards is dependent on realizing taxable income. Deferred tax assets for these carryforwards have been reduced by a valuation allowance up to an amount equal to estimated deferred tax liability.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2013.&#160; The Company is not currently the subject of any income tax examinations by any tax authorities.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Based upon a review of its income tax filing positions, the Company believes that its positions would be sustained upon an audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.&#160; Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.&#160; The Company recognizes interest related to income taxes as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses.</div>

Mr. Pritchard is the co-founder/ partner for Pritchard Griffin Advisors and the Managing Director of Pritchard Energy Advisors. Both of the companies have provided services to the Company, primarily related to raising capital and locating oil &amp; gas investments.

if there is a loss from continuing operations, Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as Basic EPS.&#160; At December 31, 2016

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 December 31, 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.</p>

accordance with the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.&#160; Under the asset and liability method, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.&#160;
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established if management determines
it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">The carrying value of current assets and
current liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of the instruments.&#160; The carrying
value of the convertible debt and investments in Masterson West II also approximate their fair value as of December 31, 2017.&#160;
Management's estimates are based on an assessment of qualitative factors that are considered level 3 measurements in the fair value
valuation hierarchy required by FASB ASC 820.</p>

of assets:</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company follows Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) guidance on accounting for asset retirement obligations, which among other matters, addresses financial
accounting and reporting for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated
asset retirement costs. This guidance requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized
in the period in which it is incurred, with the associated asset retirement cost capitalized as part of the related asset and allocated
to expense over the asset's useful life.&#160; The Company applies its analysis to producing wells.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">(h) Recent Accounting Pronouncements:</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">FASB periodically issues new accounting
standards in a continuing effort to improve standards of financial accounting and reporting. The Company has reviewed the recently
issued pronouncements and concluded that the following new accounting standards are applicable:</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-02: &#34;Leases (Topic 842)&#34; which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions.&#160; This
ASU will require organizations (&#34;lessees&#34;) that lease assets with lease terms of more than twelve months to recognize
on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases.&#160; Organizations that
own the assets leased by lessees (&#34;lessors&#34;) will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP.&#160; In addition, this
ASU will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty
of cash flows arising from leases.&#160; The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early
adoption is permitted.&#160; Based on management's initial assessment, ASU No. 2016-02 will not have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements.&#160; The Company is a lessee on an office lease; however since the lease is on a month to month basis it
would not record a right of use asset or liability.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09
which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification.
Entities should apply the modification accounting guidance if the value, vesting conditions or classification of the award changes.
ASU 2017-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted
and prospective application is required. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material impact on
its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.</p><span></span>

<td class="text"><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">On December 22, 2016, the Company entered
into a subscription and contribution agreement with Masterson West, LLC (&#34;Masterson West&#34;) (the &#34;Contribution Agreement&#34;)
relating to the newly formed Masterson West II, LLC, a Texas limited liability 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; The final closing is scheduled to occur no later than April 1, 2017.&#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.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">Also on December 22, 2016, the Company
entered into a limited liability agreement of Masterson West II with Masterson West (the &#34;LLC Agreement&#34;).&#160; Pursuant
to the Contribution Agreement and the LLC Agreement, Masterson West is immediately entitled to 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.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; 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.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; 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.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">As stated above, if the final closing does
not occur, the Contributed Properties will not be transferred to Masterson West II and the additional 38,000,000 shares of the
Common Stock will not be issued by the Company.&#160; Also as stated above, under the Contribution Agreement, the final closing
was scheduled to occur no later than April 1, 2017.&#160; However, on February 18, 2017, the majority owner of Masterson West,
Gary C. Adams, unexpectedly passed away.&#160;&#160;&#160;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 a potential acquisition.</p>

Stockholders, the stockholders approved the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the &#34;Plan&#34;).&#160; The Plan permits the issuance
of stock options, restricted stock awards, and performance shares to employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company.&#160;
Initially, and until such time as the Board creates a Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors will administer the Plan.&#160;
The total number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the Plan is 5,000,000.&#160; Under the
Plan, no participant may receive awards of stock options that cover, in the aggregate, more than 500,000 shares of common stock
in any fiscal year.&#160; The plan terminated on June 5, 2016.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company expenses the cost of options granted over the vesting
period of the option based on the grant-date fair value of the award.&#160; Option fair values are estimated at the grant date
using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.&#160; The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable.&#160; For purposes of determining
the expected life of the options, the Company utilizes the Simplified Method as defined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission.&#160; In addition, the Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of other
highly subjective assumptions including stock price volatility.</p>

The options immediately vested and expire after 2 years. Options totaling 600,000 have a strike price of $0.15, with the remainder
550,000 having a strike price of $.25. The Company recorded an expense of $65,660 for the options; $27,500 related to options
with a strike price of $0.25 and $38,160 related to options with a strike price of $0.15.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0">At December 31, 2017, the Company has accumulated net
operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $9,800,000 which&#160;&#160; begin to expire if not utilized starting in 2018.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">On December 22, 2017 H.R. 1, originally
known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the &#34;Tax Act&#34;) was enacted. Among the significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue
Code, the Tax Act lowers the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate (&#34;Federal Tax Rate&#34;) from 35% to 21% effective&#160;
January 1, 2018.&#160; The Company must re-measure its net deferred tax assets and liabilities using the Federal Tax Rate that
will apply when these amounts are expected to reverse. Accordingly, the Company utilized a 21% tax rate to evaluate its net deferred
taxes for the period ended December 31, 2017.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">Utilization of the Company's loss carryforwards
is dependent on realizing taxable income. Deferred tax assets for these carryforwards have been reduced by a valuation allowance
up to an amount equal to estimated deferred tax liability.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company is no longer subject to income
tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2013.&#160; The Company is not currently the subject of any income tax examinations
by any tax authorities.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">Based upon a review of its income tax filing positions, the Company believes that its positions would be
sustained upon an audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.&#160;
Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.&#160; The Company recognizes interest related to
income taxes as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses.</p>

ASU will require organizations (&#34;lessees&#34;) that lease assets with lease terms of more than twelve months to recognize
on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases.&#160; Organizations that
own the assets leased by lessees (&#34;lessors&#34;) will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP.&#160; In addition, this
ASU will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty
of cash flows arising from leases.&#160; The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early
adoption is permitted.&#160; Based on management's initial assessment, ASU No. 2016-02 will not have a material impact on the Company's

would not record a right of use asset or liability.</p>

changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. Entities should apply

for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted and prospective application
is required. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material impact on its financial position, results

Warrants and rights outstanding are derivative securities that give the holder the right to purchase securities (usually equity) from the issuer at a specific price within a certain time frame. Warrants are often included in a new debt issue to entice investors by a higher return potential. The main difference between warrants and call options is that warrants are issued and guaranteed by the company, whereas options are exchange instruments and are not issued by the company. Also, the lifetime of a warrant is often measured in years, while the lifetime of a typical option is measured in months. Disclose the title of issue of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the aggregate amount of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the date from which the warrants or rights are exercisable, and the price at which the warrant or right is exercisable.</p></div>
