The new lease standard requires all leases with a term greater than one year to be recognized on the balance sheet while maintaining substantially similar classifications for financing and operating leases. Lease expense recognition on the consolidated statements of operations will be effectively unchanged. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not plan to early adopt the standard. The Company plans to make policy elections to not capitalize short-term leases for all asset classes and to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all asset classes except for vehicles. The Company also plans to not elect the package of practical expedients that allows for certain considerations under the original "Leases (Topic 840)" accounting standard ("Topic 840") to be carried forward upon adoption of ASU 2016-02.</div>

Upon adoption, the Company will be required to recognize right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities that are not currently recognized under applicable guidance. The Company does not believe this adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets based on the leases in place as of the filing of this Quarterly Report.</div>

The effective date of the standard is dependent on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some amendments do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon the issuance of this standard. Many of the amendments in ASU 2018-09 will be effective in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will be required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Actual results&#13;could differ from these estimates. Depletion of oil and natural gas properties is determined using estimates of proved oil and&#13;natural gas reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved reserves and in the&#13;projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment of&#13;proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others, estimates of&#13;future recoverable reserves, commodity price outlooks and prevailing market rates of other sources of income and costs. Other&#13;significant estimates include, but are not limited to, asset retirement obligations, fair value of assets purchased in acquisitions,&#13;and taxes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Interim&#13;financial statements.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company's&#13;independent registered public accounting firm.

The Company enters into contracts with customers to&#13;sell its oil and natural gas production. Revenue on these contracts is recognized in accordance with the five-step revenue recognition&#13;model prescribed in ASC 606. Specifically, revenue is recognized when the Company's performance obligations under these contracts&#13;are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the oil and natural gas to the purchaser. Control is generally&#13;considered transferred when the following criteria are met: (i) transfer of physical custody, (ii) transfer of title, (iii) transfer&#13;of risk of loss and (iv) relinquishment of any repurchase rights or other similar rights. Given the nature of the products sold,&#13;revenue is recognized at a point in time based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in accordance with&#13;the price specified in the contract. Consideration under the oil and natural gas marketing contracts is typically received from&#13;the purchaser one to two months after production. At September 30, 2018, the Company had receivables related to contracts with&#13;customers of approximately $ 21,237.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fair&#13;Value Measurements &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The Financial Accounting Standards Board (&amp;#34;FASB&amp;#34;) fair value measurement standards define fair&#13;value, establish a consistent framework for measuring fair value and establish a fair value hierarchy based on the observability&#13;of inputs used to measure fair value.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Convertible&#13;debt - &lt;/i&gt;The carrying value of the convertible debt and investment in Masterson West II approximate fair value as of September&#13;30, 2108.

Significant inputs to the valuation of proved and&#13;unproved oil and natural gas properties include estimates of: (i) recoverable reserves; (ii) production rates; (iii) future operating&#13;and development costs; (iv) future commodity prices; and (v) a market-based weighted average costs of capital. The Company utilized&#13;a combination of the New York Mercantile Exchange (&amp;#34;NYMEX&amp;#34;) strip pricing and consensus pricing to value the reserves,&#13;then applied various discount rates depending on the classification of reserves and other risk characteristics. Management utilized&#13;the assistance of a third-party valuation expert to estimate the value of the oil and natural gas properties acquired.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;The&#13;fair value of asset retirement obligations is included in proved oil and natural gas properties with a corresponding liability&#13;in the table above.

The new lease standard requires all leases with a&#13;term greater than one year to be recognized on the balance sheet while maintaining substantially similar classifications for financing&#13;and operating leases. Lease expense recognition on the consolidated statements of operations will be effectively unchanged. This&#13;guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does&#13;not plan to early adopt the standard. The Company plans to make policy elections to not capitalize short-term leases for all asset&#13;classes and to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all asset classes except for vehicles. The Company&#13;also plans to not elect the package of practical expedients that allows for certain considerations under the original &amp;#34;Leases&#13;(Topic 840)&amp;#34; accounting standard (&amp;#34;Topic 840&amp;#34;) to be carried forward upon adoption of ASU 2016-02.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;The&#13;Company enters into lease agreements to support its operations. These agreements are for leases on assets such as office space,&#13;well equipment and drilling rigs. The Company has substantially completed the process of reviewing and determining the contracts&#13;to which this new guidance applies. The Company is currently enhancing its accounting system in order to track and calculate additional&#13;information necessary for adoption of this standard. Upon adoption, the Company will be required to recognize right-of-use assets&#13;and associated lease liabilities that are not currently recognized under applicable guidance. The Company does not believe this&#13;adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated balance sheets based on the leases in place as of the filing of this&#13;Quarterly Report.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;In&#13;July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, &amp;#34;Codification Improvements,&amp;#34; which makes amendments to multiple codification&#13;topics to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the accounting standards codification. The effective date&#13;of the standard is dependent on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some amendments do not require transition guidance&#13;and will be effective upon the issuance of this standard. Many of the amendments in ASU 2018-09 will be effective in annual periods&#13;beginning after December 15, 2018.

Actual results could differ from these estimates. Depletion of oil and natural gas properties&#13;is determined using estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation&#13;of quantities of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures.&#13;Similarly, evaluations for impairment of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties&#13;including, among others, estimates of future recoverable reserves, commodity price outlooks and prevailing market rates of other&#13;sources of income and costs. Other significant estimates include, but are not limited to, asset retirement obligations, fair value&#13;of assets purchased in acquisitions, and taxes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:UseOfEstimates>

The Company enters into contracts with customers to sell its oil and natural gas production.&#13;Revenue on these contracts is recognized in accordance with the five-step revenue recognition model prescribed in ASC 606. Specifically,&#13;revenue is recognized when the Company's performance obligations under these contracts are satisfied, which generally occurs with&#13;the transfer of control of the oil and natural gas to the purchaser. Control is generally considered transferred when the following&#13;criteria are met: (i) transfer of physical custody, (ii) transfer of title, (iii) transfer of risk of loss and (iv) relinquishment&#13;of any repurchase rights or other similar rights. Given the nature of the products sold, revenue is recognized at a point in time&#13;based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in accordance with the price specified in the contract. Consideration&#13;under the oil and natural gas marketing contracts is typically received from the purchaser one to two months after production.&#13;At September 30, 2018, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $ 21,237.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:RevenueRecognitionPolicyTextBlock>

The Company utilized a combination of the New York&#13;Mercantile Exchange (&amp;#34;NYMEX&amp;#34;) strip pricing and consensus pricing to value the reserves, then applied various discount&#13;rates depending on the classification of reserves and other risk characteristics.

The new lease standard requires all leases with a term greater than one year to be recognized on the balance sheet&#13;while maintaining substantially similar classifications for financing and operating leases. Lease expense recognition on the consolidated&#13;statements of operations will be effectively unchanged. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December&#13;15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not plan to early adopt the standard. The Company plans to make policy&#13;elections to not capitalize short-term leases for all asset classes and to not separate non-lease components from lease components&#13;for all asset classes except for vehicles. The Company also plans to not elect the package of practical expedients that allows&#13;for certain considerations under the original &amp;#34;Leases (Topic 840)&amp;#34; accounting standard (&amp;#34;Topic 840&amp;#34;) to be carried&#13;forward upon adoption of ASU 2016-02.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;The&#13;Company enters into lease agreements to support its operations.

The Company has substantially completed the process of reviewing and determining the contracts&#13;to which this new guidance applies. The Company is currently enhancing its accounting system in order to track and calculate additional&#13;information necessary for adoption of this standard. Upon adoption, the Company will be required to recognize right-of-use assets&#13;and associated lease liabilities that are not currently recognized under applicable guidance.

Significant inputs to the valuation of proved oil and natural gas properties include estimates&#13;of: (i) recoverable reserves; (ii) production rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv) future commodity prices;&#13;and (v) a market-based weighted average costs of capital. The Company utilized a combination of the New York Mercantile Exchange&#13;(&amp;#34;NYMEX&amp;#34;) strip pricing and consensus pricing to value the reserves, then applied various discount rates depending on&#13;the classification of reserves and other risk characteristics. Management utilized the assistance of a third-party valuation expert&#13;to estimate the value of the oil and natural gas properties acquired.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;The&#13;fair value of asset retirement obligations totaled $83,782 and is included in proved oil and natural gas properties with a corresponding&#13;liability in the table above. The fair value was determined based on a discounted cash flow model, which included assumptions&#13;of the estimated current abandonment costs, discount rate, inflation rate and timing associated with the incurrence of these costs.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;The&#13;inputs used to value oil and natural gas properties and asset retirement obligations require significant judgment and estimates&#13;made by management and represent Level 3 inputs.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Financial&#13;instruments and other&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;The&#13;fair values determined for accounts receivable and accounts payable &amp;#8211; trade were equivalent to the carrying value due to&#13;their short-term nature.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;Accounts&#13;payable - trade includes approximately $22,526 of liabilities primarily related to well activity prior to close.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</EMPR:AcquisitionOfCardinalAssetsTextBlock>

of estimates in the preparation of financial statements.</i></b> Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (&#34;U.S. GAAP&#34;) requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results
could differ from these estimates. Depletion of oil and natural gas properties is determined using estimates of proved oil and
natural gas reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved reserves and in the
projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment of
proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others, estimates of
future recoverable reserves, commodity price outlooks and prevailing market rates of other sources of income and costs. Other
significant estimates include, but are not limited to, asset retirement obligations, fair value of assets purchased in acquisitions,
and taxes.</font></p>

recognition.</i></b>&#160;&#160; The Company recognizes revenues from the sales of oil and natural gas to its customers and presents
them disaggregated on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The Company enters into contracts with customers to
sell its oil and natural gas production. Revenue on these contracts is recognized in accordance with the five-step revenue recognition
model prescribed in ASC 606. Specifically, revenue is recognized when the Company's performance obligations under these contracts
are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the oil and natural gas to the purchaser. Control is generally
considered transferred when the following criteria are met: (i) transfer of physical custody, (ii) transfer of title, (iii) transfer
of risk of loss and (iv) relinquishment of any repurchase rights or other similar rights. Given the nature of the products sold,
revenue is recognized at a point in time based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in accordance with
the price specified in the contract. Consideration under the oil and natural gas marketing contracts is typically received from
the purchaser one to two months after production. At September 30, 2018, the Company had receivables related to contracts with
customers of approximately $ 21,237.</font></p>

a combination of the New York Mercantile Exchange (&#34;NYMEX&#34;) strip pricing and consensus pricing to value the reserves,
then applied various discount rates depending on the classification of reserves and other risk characteristics. Management utilized
the assistance of a third-party valuation expert to estimate the value of the oil and natural gas properties acquired.</font></p>

term greater than one year to be recognized on the balance sheet while maintaining substantially similar classifications for financing
and operating leases. Lease expense recognition on the consolidated statements of operations will be effectively unchanged. This
guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does
not plan to early adopt the standard. The Company plans to make policy elections to not capitalize short-term leases for all asset
classes and to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all asset classes except for vehicles. The Company
also plans to not elect the package of practical expedients that allows for certain considerations under the original &#34;Leases

information necessary for adoption of this standard. Upon adoption, the Company will be required to recognize right-of-use assets

and (v) a market-based weighted average costs of capital. The Company utilized a combination of the New York Mercantile Exchange
(&#34;NYMEX&#34;) strip pricing and consensus pricing to value the reserves, then applied various discount rates depending on
the classification of reserves and other risk characteristics. Management utilized the assistance of a third-party valuation expert

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, 2018 and 2017, the Company had 4,167 and 1,154,167 respectively, options outstanding 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, 2018 and 2017, the outstanding
options were considered anti-dilutive since the strike prices were above the market price and since the Company has incurred losses

September and October 2017, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (each, a &#34;Securities Purchase Agreement&#34;
and, collectively, the &#34;Securities Purchase Agreements&#34;) with two accredited investors, pursuant to which it issued senior
unsecured convertible promissory notes due December 31, 2019 (each, a &#34;Convertible Note&#34; and, collectively, the &#34;Convertible
Notes&#34;) in the aggregate amount of $65,000 in cash.&#160; Each Convertible Note accrues interest at 6%, is due December 31,
2019 and is convertible at the option of the holder at $0.15 per share.&#160; Each investor was also issued a warrant certificate
(each, a &#34;Warrant Certificate&#34; and, collectively, the &#34;Warrant Certificates&#34;), pursuant to which such investor
could acquire one share of Common Stock at $0.25 per share for each $0.25 invested in the applicable Convertible Note until December
31, 2019.&#160; The full amount of interest under each Convertible Note is accrued and paid upon the maturity date or earlier
conversion.&#160; The value allocated&#160;to the September Warrant Certificates was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes
option valuation with the following assumptions:&#160; no dividend yield, expected annual volatility of 154%, risk free interest
rate of 1.35% and an expected useful life of 28 months. The value allocated&#160;to the October Warrant Certificates was the fair
value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation with the following assumptions:&#160; no dividend yield, expected annual
volatility of 180%, risk free interest rate of 1.51% and an expected useful life of 27 months The fair value of the Warrant Certificates
of $13,918 was allocated to Paid in Capital.&#160; The Notes' conversion features were valued at their intrinsic value in excess
of the debt's allocated value of $13,918 and resulted in additional Paid in Capital. The Debt Issue Costs represent a direct deduction
of the face amount the Convertible Notes and is amortized as interest expense over the life of the Notes.</font></p>

of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (&#34;U.S.

disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Depletion of oil and natural gas properties
is determined using estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation
of quantities of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures.
Similarly, evaluations for impairment of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties
including, among others, estimates of future recoverable reserves, commodity price outlooks and prevailing market rates of other
sources of income and costs. Other significant estimates include, but are not limited to, asset retirement obligations, fair value
of assets purchased in acquisitions, and taxes.</font></p><span></span>

Company recognizes revenues from the sales of oil and natural gas to its customers and presents them disaggregated on the Company's
consolidated statements of operations. The Company enters into contracts with customers to sell its oil and natural gas production.
Revenue on these contracts is recognized in accordance with the five-step revenue recognition model prescribed in ASC 606. Specifically,
revenue is recognized when the Company's performance obligations under these contracts are satisfied, which generally occurs with
the transfer of control of the oil and natural gas to the purchaser. Control is generally considered transferred when the following
criteria are met: (i) transfer of physical custody, (ii) transfer of title, (iii) transfer of risk of loss and (iv) relinquishment
of any repurchase rights or other similar rights. Given the nature of the products sold, revenue is recognized at a point in time
based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in accordance with the price specified in the contract. Consideration
under the oil and natural gas marketing contracts is typically received from the purchaser one to two months after production.
At September 30, 2018, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $ 21,237.</font></p><span></span>

lease guidance. The new lease standard requires all leases with a term greater than one year to be recognized on the balance sheet
while maintaining substantially similar classifications for financing and operating leases. Lease expense recognition on the consolidated
statements of operations will be effectively unchanged. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not plan to early adopt the standard. The Company plans to make policy
elections to not capitalize short-term leases for all asset classes and to not separate non-lease components from lease components
for all asset classes except for vehicles. The Company also plans to not elect the package of practical expedients that allows
for certain considerations under the original &#34;Leases (Topic 840)&#34; accounting standard (&#34;Topic 840&#34;) to be carried

requirements, U.S. GAAP or changes in the information environment.&#160; The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure
of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors.&#160;
The final rule amends numerous SEC rules, items and forms covering a diverse group of topics, including, but not limited to, changes
