</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">We market our oil and natural gas in accordance with standard energy industry practices. The marketing effort endeavors to obtain the combined highest netback and most secure market available at that time.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">We sell production at the lease locations to third-party purchasers via truck transport. We do not transport, refine or process the oil we produce. We sell our produced oil under contracts using market-based pricing, which is adjusted for differentials based upon oil quality.</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">The oil and natural gas industry in the areas in which we operate is highly competitive. We encounter strong competition from numerous parties, ranging generally from small independent producers to major integrated companies. We primarily encounter significant competition in acquiring properties. At higher commodity prices, we also face competition in contracting for drilling, pressure pumping and workover equipment and securing trained personnel. Many of these competitors have financial, technical and personnel resources substantially larger than ours. As a result, our competitors may be able to pay more for desirable properties, or to evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties or prospects than our financial or personnel resources will permit.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In addition to competition for drilling, pressure pumping and workover equipment, we are also affected by the availability of related equipment and materials. The oil and natural gas industry periodically experiences shortages of drilling and workover rigs, equipment, pipe, materials and personnel, which can delay drilling, workover and exploration activities and cause significant price increases. We are unable to predict the timing or duration of any such shortages.</div>

Adams, the majority owner of Masterson West unexpectedly passed away. As a result of this development, the transactions were not consummated. On December 1, 2018, the Company and Masterson West agreed to terminate and unwind the Contribution Agreement in a manner as if the parties had never entered into the Contribution Agreement. As a result of the Termination Agreement, in 2018 the Company has reversed its $300,000 investment in Masterson West II and the related common stock subscription and paid in capital.</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 in the near future.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">For the past three years, with the exception of the financial institution note payable entered into in 2018,&#160;the Company has financed its operations primarily from sales of its equity securities and convertible notes issued to individual investors.&#160;&#160;There is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to finance its operations through the sale of its equity securities, or through loans or advances by third parties.</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">&#160;In 2018, the Company acquired certain oil and gas properties. However, the Company reported losses of $(1,017,131) and $(830,067) for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company also had an accumulated deficit of $(17,128,346) as of December 31, 2018. 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 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><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The Company could be adversely affected by fluctuations in oil and gas prices.</div>

<div><br>
</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 and natural gas&#160; 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><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The Company could be adversely affected by increased costs of service providers utilized by the Company.</div>

<div><br>
</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, fracking 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>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Our producing properties are geographically concentrated in Louisiana. At December 31, 2018,&#160; all of our total estimated proved reserves were attributable to properties located in this area. As a result of this concentration, we are exposed to the impact of regional supply and demand factors, delays or interruptions of production from wells in this area caused by governmental regulation, processing or transportation capacity constraints, market limitations, severe weather events, water shortages or other drought related conditions or interruption of the processing or transportation of oil or natural gas.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">This concentration of assets exposes us to additional risks, such as changes in field-wide rules and regulations that could cause us to permanently or temporarily shut-in all of our wells within a field.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Standardized Measure is a reporting convention that provides a common basis for comparing oil and natural gas companies subject to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Our non-GAAP financial measure, PV-10, is a similar reporting convention that we have disclosed in this report. Both measures require the use of operating and development costs prevailing as of the date of computation. Consequently, they will not reflect the prices ordinarily received or that will be received for oil and natural gas production because of varying market conditions, nor may it reflect the actual costs that will be required to produce or develop the oil and natural gas properties. Accordingly, estimates included herein of future net cash flows may be materially different from the future net cash flows that are ultimately received. In addition, the 10 percent discount factor, which is required by the rules and regulations of the SEC to be used in calculating discounted future net cash flows for reporting purposes, may not be the most appropriate discount factor based on interest rates in effect from time to time and risks associated with our company or the oil and natural gas industry in general.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In response to findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases present an endangerment to public health and the environment, the EPA has issued regulations to restrict emissions of GHGs under existing provisions of the CAA. These regulations include limits on tailpipe emissions from motor vehicles and preconstruction and operating permit requirements for certain large stationary sources. The EPA has also adopted rules requiring the reporting of GHG emissions from specified large GHG emission sources in the United States, as well as certain onshore oil and natural gas production facilities, on an annual basis, including GHG emissions resulting from the completion and workover operations of hydraulically fractured oil wells. Recent federal regulatory action with respect to climate change has focused on methane emissions. For example, in June 2016, the EPA finalized new air emission controls for emissions of methane from certain equipment and processes in the oil and natural gas source category, including production, processing, transmission and storage activities. The final rule package includes first-time standards to address emissions of methane from equipment and processes across the source category, including hydraulically fractured oil and natural gas well completions, and also imposes leak detection and repair requirements on operators. However, in June 2017, the EPA proposed a two year stay of fugitive emissions monitoring requirements, pneumatic pump standards, and closed vent system certification requirements in the 2016 rule while it reconsiders these aspects of the rule. Additionally, on September 11, 2018, the EPA proposed targeted improvements to the 2016 rule, including amendments to the rule's fugitive emissions monitoring requirements, and expects to "significantly reduce" the regulatory burden of the rule in doing so. The BLM finalized similar rules in November 2016 that limit methane emissions from new and existing oil and natural gas operations on federal lands through limitations on the venting and flaring of gas, as well as enhanced leak detection and repair requirements but then finalized a revised rule in 2018 which scaled back the waste prevention requirements of the 2016 rule. Environmental groups have sued in federal district court to challenge the legality of aspects of the revised rule, and the outcome of this litigation is currently uncertain. These methane emission rules have the potential to increase our compliance costs.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">While Congress has from time to time considered legislation to reduce emissions of GHGs, there has not been significant activity in the form of adopted legislation to reduce emissions of GHGs in recent years. In the absence of Congressional action, many states have established rules aimed at reducing GHG emissions, including GHG cap and trade programs. Most of these cap and trade programs work by requiring major sources of emissions, such as electric power plants, or major producers of fuels, such as refineries and natural gas processing plants, to acquire and surrender emission allowances. The number of allowances available for purchase is reduced each year in an effort to achieve the overall GHG emission reduction goal. In the future, the United States may also choose to adhere to international agreements targeting GHG reductions.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The adoption of legislation or regulatory programs to reduce emissions of GHGs could require us to incur increased operating costs, such as costs to purchase and operate emissions control systems, to acquire emissions allowances or to comply with new regulatory or reporting requirements. Any such legislation or regulatory programs could also increase the cost of consuming, and thereby reduce demand for, the oil and natural gas we produce. Consequently, legislation and regulatory programs to reduce emissions of GHGs could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Reduced demand for the oil and natural gas that we produce could also have the effect of lowering the value of our reserves. It should also be noted that some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHGs in the earth's atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climatic events. If any such effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, there have also been efforts in recent years to influence the investment community, including investment advisors and certain sovereign wealth, pension and endowment funds promoting divestment of fossil fuel equities and pressuring lenders to limit funding to companies engaged in the extraction of fossil fuel reserves. Such environmental activism and initiatives aimed at limiting climate change and reducing air pollution could interfere with our business activities, operations and ability to access capital. Finally, increasing attention to the risks of climate change has resulted in an increased possibility of lawsuits or investigations brought by public and private entities against oil and natural gas companies in connection with their GHG emissions. Should we be targeted by any such litigation or investigations, we may incur liability, which, to the extent that societal pressures or political or other factors are involved, could be imposed without regard to the causation of or contribution to the asserted damage, or to other mitigating factors. The ultimate impact of GHG emissions-related agreements, legislation and measures on our company's financial performance is highly uncertain because the Company is unable to predict with certainty, for a multitude of individual jurisdictions, the outcome of political decision-making processes and the variables and tradeoffs that inevitably occur in connection with such processes.</div>

<div>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">Asset retirement obligations - 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 style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The ultimate recoverability of the Company's investment in its oil and gas interests is dependent upon the existence, discovery, and development of economically recoverable oil and gas reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to further develop the interests, and upon the ability to attain future profitable production. The Company has been incurring significant losses in recent years and future financing is uncertain.&#160; These factors indicate that there is a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The Company sells oil and natural gas to various customers. The receivables related to these operations are generally unsecured. Receivables are considered past due if full payment is not received by the contractual due date. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted. The Company did not have an allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.</div>

Costs related to impaired prospects or unsuccessful exploratory drilling is 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 economical to develop some of these unproved properties.</div>

Subsequently, the asset retirement cost included in the carrying amount of the related asset is allocated to expense through depletion of the asset. Changes in the liability due to passage of time are recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the liability through accretion expense. Based on certain factors, including commodity prices and costs, the Company may revise its previous estimates of the liability, which would also increase or decrease the related oil and natural gas property asset.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," ("ASC 606") using the modified retrospective approach, which only applies to contracts that were not completed as of the date of initial application. The adoption did not require an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the cumulative effect adjustment and does not have a material impact on the Company's reported net income (loss), cash flows from operations or statement of stockholders' equity.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">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. The Company's oil and natural gas&#160; marketing contracts transfer physical custody and title at or near the wellhead, which is generally when control of the oil has been transferred to the purchaser. All of the Company's oil and natural gas production is sold to a single customer for each commodity. While the loss of these customers may result in a temporary interruption in sales, since there are alternative purchasers these risks are mitigated.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The majority of the Company's natural gas is sold at the lease location, which is generally when control of the natural gas has been transferred to the purchaser.

<div>&#160;</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, 2017 and 2018, the Company had 8,775,167 and 17,524,169 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, 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 year to date.</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&#160; office leases; 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: justify">In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, "Codification Improvements," ("ASU 2018-09") which makes amendments to multiple codification topics to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the accounting standards codification. 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. Management has reviewed the new standard in conjunction with its current practices and believes that it will not have a material impact on the financial statements.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, "Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606," ("ASU 2018-18") which, among other things, clarifies that (i) certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit of account, (ii) adds unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606 and (iii) requires that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related to sales to third parties, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer. ASU 2018-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of Topic 606. An entity should recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the later of the earliest annual period presented and the annual period that includes the date of the entity's initial application of Topic 606. The Company is currently assessing the effect that ASU 2018-18 will have on its financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

<div>&#160;</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The fair value of proved oil and natural gas properties was measured using valuation techniques that convert the future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation of proved oil and natural gas properties include estimates of: (i) recoverable reserves; (ii) production rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv) future commodity prices; and (v) a market-based weighted average costs of capital. The Company utilized a combination of the New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") 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.</div>

The unaudited pro forma earnings for the years ending December 31, 2018&#160; and 2017 were adjusted to include $19,300 and $34,803 of depreciation, depletion, and amortization, respectively. Incremental interest expense of $29,498 and $58,997 was included for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, as if the Senior Revolver Loan Agreement used to help fund the acquisition had been entered into on January 1, 2017. Earnings per share were adjusted to include the additional 1,978,810 shares of the Company's common stock issued to help fund&#160; the acquisitions as if those shares had been issued on January 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma information is provided for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the Company's combined results of operations which would actually have been obtained had the acquisitions taken place on January 1, 2017, nor should it be taken as indicative of the Company's future consolidated results of operations.</div>

Subsequently, the asset retirement cost included&#13;in the carrying amount of the related asset is allocated to expense through depletion of the asset. Changes in the liability due&#13;to passage of time are recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the liability through accretion expense. Based on certain&#13;factors, including commodity prices and costs, the Company may revise its previous estimates of the liability, which would also&#13;increase or decrease the related oil and natural gas property asset.&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;(g)&#13;Revenue recognition&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;On&#13;January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, &amp;#34;Revenue from Contracts with Customers,&amp;#34; (&amp;#34;ASC 606&amp;#34;) using&#13;the modified retrospective approach, which only applies to contracts that were not completed as of the date of initial application.&#13;The adoption did not require an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the cumulative effect adjustment and does not have&#13;a material impact on the Company's reported net income (loss), cash flows from operations or statement of stockholders' equity.&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;Company enters into contracts with customers to sell its oil and natural gas production. Revenue on these contracts is recognized&#13;in accordance with the five-step revenue recognition model prescribed in ASC 606. Specifically, revenue is recognized when the&#13;Company's performance obligations under these contracts are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of&#13;the oil and natural gas to the purchaser. Control is generally considered transferred when the following criteria are met: (i)&#13;transfer of physical custody, (ii) transfer of title, (iii) transfer of risk of loss and (iv) relinquishment of any repurchase&#13;rights or other similar rights. Given the nature of the products sold, revenue is recognized at a point in time based on the amount&#13;of consideration the Company expects to receive in accordance with the price specified in the contract. Consideration under the&#13;oil and natural gas marketing contracts is typically received from the purchaser one to two months after production. The Company's&#13;oil and natural gas&amp;#160; marketing contracts transfer physical custody and title at or near the wellhead, which is generally&#13;when control of the oil has been transferred to the purchaser. All of the Company's oil and natural gas production is sold to&#13;a single customer for each commodity. While the loss of these customers may result in a temporary interruption in sales, since&#13;there are alternative purchasers these risks are mitigated.&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;majority of the Company's natural gas is sold at the lease location, which is generally when control of the natural gas has been&#13;transferred to the purchaser. The Company follows the sales method of accounting for natural gas sales, recognizing revenue based&#13;on the Company's actual proceeds from the natural gas sold to purchasers.&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;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&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;(h)&#13;Per share amounts:&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;Company calculates and discloses basic earnings per share (&amp;#34;Basic EPS&amp;#34;) and diluted earnings per share (&amp;#34;Diluted EPS&amp;#34;).&#13;The computation of basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted&#13;average number of outstanding common shares during the period.&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;Diluted&#13;Earnings per Share (&amp;#34;EPS&amp;#34;) gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The computation&#13;of Diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect&#13;on losses.&amp;#160; As a result, if there is a loss from continuing operations, Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as Basic&#13;EPS.&amp;#160; At December 31, 2017 and 2018, the Company had 8,775,167 and 17,524,169 options and warrants outstanding, respectively,&#13;that were not included in the calculation of earnings per share for the periods then ended.&amp;#160; Such financial instruments may&#13;become dilutive and would then need to be included in future calculations of Diluted EPS.&amp;#160; At December 31, 2018 and 2017,&#13;the outstanding options were considered anti-dilutive since the strike prices were above the market price and since the Company&#13;has incurred losses year to date.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates&#13;expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.&#13;A valuation allowance is established if management determines it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset&#13;will not be realized.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

This ASU will require organizations (&amp;#34;lessees&amp;#34;) that lease assets with lease terms of&#13;more than twelve months to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by&#13;those leases.&amp;#160; Organizations that own the assets leased by lessees (&amp;#34;lessors&amp;#34;) will remain largely unchanged from&#13;current GAAP.&amp;#160; In addition, this ASU will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better&#13;understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.&amp;#160; The guidance is effective for annual periods&#13;beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted.&amp;#160; Based on management's initial assessment, ASU No. 2016-02&#13;will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.&amp;#160;

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. The Company will be required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Management&#13;has reviewed the new standard in conjunction with its current practices and believes that it will not have a material impact on&#13;the financial statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;In&#13;November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, &amp;#34;Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between&#13;Topic 808 and Topic 606,&amp;#34; (&amp;#34;ASU 2018-18&amp;#34;) which, among other things, clarifies that (i) certain transactions between&#13;collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the collaborative arrangement participant&#13;is a customer in the context of a unit of account, (ii) adds unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance&#13;in Topic 606 and (iii) requires that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related&#13;to sales to third parties, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative&#13;arrangement participant is not a customer. ASU 2018-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim&#13;periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively&#13;to the date of initial application of Topic 606. An entity should recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments&#13;as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the later of the earliest annual period presented and the annual&#13;period that includes the date of the entity's initial application of Topic 606. The Company is currently assessing the effect&#13;that ASU 2018-18 will have on its financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

Revenue on these contracts is recognized in accordance with the five-step&#13;revenue recognition model prescribed in ASC 606. Specifically, revenue is recognized when the Company's performance obligations&#13;under these contracts are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the oil and natural gas to the purchaser.&#13;Control is generally considered transferred when the following criteria are met: (i) transfer of physical custody, (ii) transfer&#13;of title, (iii) transfer of risk of loss and (iv) relinquishment of any repurchase rights or other similar rights. Given the nature&#13;of the products sold, revenue is recognized at a point in time based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive&#13;in accordance with the price specified in the contract. Consideration under the oil and natural gas marketing contracts is typically&#13;received from the purchaser one to two months after production. The Company's oil and natural gas&amp;#160; marketing contracts transfer&#13;physical custody and title at or near the wellhead, which is generally when control of the oil has been transferred to the purchaser.&#13;All of the Company's oil and natural gas production is sold to a single customer for each commodity. While the loss of these customers&#13;may result in a temporary interruption in sales, since there are alternative purchasers these risks are mitigated.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The majority of the Company's natural gas&#13;is sold at the lease location, which is generally when control of the natural gas has been transferred to the purchaser. The Company&#13;follows the sales method of accounting for natural gas sales, recognizing revenue based on the Company's actual proceeds from the&#13;natural gas sold to purchasers.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:RevenueRecognitionPolicyTextBlock>

the modified retrospective approach, which only applies to contracts that were not completed as of the date of initial application.
The adoption did not require an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the cumulative effect adjustment and does not have
a material impact on the Company's reported net income (loss), cash flows from operations or statement of stockholders' equity.</font></p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify"><font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">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. The Company's
oil and natural gas&#160; marketing contracts transfer physical custody and title at or near the wellhead, which is generally
when control of the oil has been transferred to the purchaser. All of the Company's oil and natural gas production is sold to
a single customer for each commodity. While the loss of these customers may result in a temporary interruption in sales, since
there are alternative purchasers these risks are mitigated.</font></p>

majority of the Company's natural gas is sold at the lease location, which is generally when control of the natural gas has been
transferred to the purchaser. The Company follows the sales method of accounting for natural gas sales, recognizing revenue based
on the Company's actual proceeds from the natural gas sold to purchasers.</font></p>

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 December 31, 2017 and 2018, the Company had 8,775,167 and 17,524,169 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, 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 year to date.</font></p>

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&#160; office leases; however,
since the lease is on a month to month basis it would not record a right of use asset or liability.</font></p>

July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, "Codification Improvements," ("ASU 2018-09") which makes amendments to multiple codification
topics to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the accounting standards codification. 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. Management
has reviewed the new standard in conjunction with its current practices and believes that it will not have a material impact on
the financial statements.</font></p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-align: justify"><font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif">In
November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, &#34;Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between
Topic 808 and Topic 606,&#34; (&#34;ASU 2018-18&#34;) which, among other things, clarifies that (i) certain transactions between
collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the collaborative arrangement participant
is a customer in the context of a unit of account, (ii) adds unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance
in Topic 606 and (iii) requires that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related
to sales to third parties, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative
arrangement participant is not a customer. ASU 2018-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim
periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively
to the date of initial application of Topic 606. An entity should recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments
as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the later of the earliest annual period presented and the annual
period that includes the date of the entity's initial application of Topic 606. The Company is currently assessing the effect
that ASU 2018-18 will have on its financial position, results of operations and disclosures. Management has reviewed the new standard
in conjunction with its current practices and believes that it will not have a material impact on the financial statements.</font></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 had 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; The final closing was scheduled to occur no later than
April 1, 2017. 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; On February 18, 2017, Gary C. Adams, the majority owner of Masterson West unexpectedly
passed away. As a result of this development, the transactions were not consummated. On December 1, 2018, the Company and Masterson
West agreed to terminate and unwind the Contribution Agreement in a manner as if the parties had never entered into the Contribution
Agreement. As a result of the Termination Agreement, in 2018 the Company has reversed its $300,000 investment in Masterson West
II and the related common stock subscription and paid in capital.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">The fair value of proved oil and natural
gas properties was measured using valuation techniques that convert the future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant
inputs to the valuation of proved oil and natural gas properties include estimates of: (i) recoverable reserves; (ii) production
rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv) future commodity prices; 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 to estimate the value of the oil and natural gas properties
acquired.</p>

based on a discounted cash flow model, which included assumptions of the estimated current abandonment costs, discount rate, inflation
rate and timing associated with the incurrence of these costs.</p>

and the Riviera assets acquired for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had
been combined as of January 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma earnings for the years ending December 31, 2018&#160; and 2017 were
adjusted to include $19,300 and $34,803 of depreciation, depletion, and amortization, respectively. Incremental interest expense
of $29,498 and $58,997 was included for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, as if the Senior Revolver Loan
Agreement used to help fund the acquisition had been entered into on January 1, 2017. Earnings per share were adjusted to include
the additional 1,978,810 shares of the Company's common stock issued to help fund&#160; the acquisitions as if those shares had
been issued on January 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma information is provided for informational purposes only and does not purport
to be indicative of the Company's combined results of operations which would actually have been obtained had the acquisitions taken
place on January 1, 2017, nor should it be taken as indicative of the Company's future consolidated results of operations.</p>

<td class="text"><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">At the Company's 2006 Annual Meeting of
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;&#160; Under the terms of the Plan, no additional options could be granted after the tenth anniversary of the
Plan, which occurred on June 5, 2016.</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 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>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 3pt 0; text-align: justify">At December 31, 2018, the Company has accumulated
net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $10,800,000 which begin to expire if not utilized starting
in 2018.</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">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 periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.</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">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; text-align: justify">&#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 2014.&#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><span></span>

which only applies to contracts that were not completed as of the date of initial application. The adoption did not require an

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. The Company's oil and natural gas&#160; marketing contracts transfer
physical custody and title at or near the wellhead, which is generally when control of the oil has been transferred to the purchaser.
All of the Company's oil and natural gas production is sold to a single customer for each commodity. While the loss of these customers
may result in a temporary interruption in sales, since there are alternative purchasers these risks are mitigated.</p>

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

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

2018-18&#34;) which, among other things, clarifies that (i) certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants
should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context

that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related to sales to third parties, presenting
the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not
a customer. ASU 2018-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal
years and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application
of Topic 606. An entity should recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening

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>
