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,

recognition.</I></B> 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)&nbsp;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 March 31, 2020, the Company had receivables related to contracts with
customers of approximately $240,000.</FONT></P>

Earnings per Share (&quot;EPS&quot;) 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. As a result, if there is a loss from continuing operations, Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as Basic EPS.
At March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had 5,004,167 and 4,167 respectively, options outstanding that were not included in the
calculation of earnings per share for the periods then ended. Such financial instruments may become dilutive and would then need
to be included in future calculations of Diluted EPS. At March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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>

oil and natural gas prices present challenges to our industry and our Company. During the first quarter of 2020, the economic
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with the disagreements between OPEC and Russia on production levels, have caused oil prices
to decrease substantially since the beginning of 2020. In the first quarter of 2020, gains on settled derivatives offset a large
portion of the impact of the recent decline in prices, and we currently have derivative positions in place for a substantial amount
of our expected remaining 2020 production. There can be no assurance that we will be able to add derivative positions to cover
the remainder of our expected production at favorable prices.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">During
the first quarter of 2020, we did not experience any material impact to our ability to operate or market our production due to
the direct or indirect impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency in the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security classifies individuals engaged in and supporting exploration for and production of natural gas, oil and NGLs
as &ldquo;essential critical infrastructure workforce,&rdquo; and to date, state and local governments where our wells are located
have followed this guidance and exempted these activities from business closures. Should this situation change, our access to
supplies or workers to drill, complete and operate wells could be materially and adversely affected.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">However,
as decreased transportation, manufacturing and general economic activity levels prompted by COVID-19 and related governmental
and societal actions have reduced the demand for oil-based products such as gasoline, jet fuel and other refined products, space
to store oil and condensate production is reaching or may reach capacity in some areas, which is prompting purchasers of oil and
condensate to reduce future purchase levels and, in some cases, to claim force majeure for purchases already contracted. These
situations may lead to production greater than storage capacity later in the year, depending on weather and other seasonal factors.
In addition, commodity pricing challenges may cause our production costs to exceed the revenues associated with such production.
To the extent that this decreased demand for our commodities continues and our margins are not at acceptable levels or storage
for our production is not available, we may have to reduce production from or completely shut in portions of our currently producing
wells. The inability to sell our production or the decision to potentially reduce or shut in our production could materially and
adversely affect our operating results and our ability to comply with the financial covenants under our credit facility.</FONT></P>

is uncertainty around the extent and duration of the disruption. The degree to which the COVID-19 pandemic or any other
public health crisis adversely impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot
be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain
the virus or treat its impact, its impact on the economy and market conditions, and how quickly and to what extent normal
economic and operating conditions can resume. Therefore, while we expect this matter will likely disrupt our operations, the
degree of the adverse financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.</FONT></P>

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, the results of operations, and the cash flows for the interim period are included. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;The information contained in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2019 which are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 30, 2020.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;The Company has incurred significant losses in recent years. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to attain future profitable operations and/or additional debt or equity financing until profitable operations are achieved. These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of United States generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a company with continuing operations, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its obligations in the normal course of operations. Management believes the going concern assumption to be appropriate for these financial statements. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments might be necessary to adjust the carrying value of assets and liabilities and reported expenses.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px 7.9pt 0px 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;The Company&amp;#8217;s impairment assessment of proved and unproved mineral properties is based on several factors including oil and gas spot market prices and estimated futures prices that existed at March 31, 2020. &lt;font style="letter-spacing:2pt"&gt;In March &lt;/font&gt;2020, crude oil prices in both the spot market and futures market experienced significant declines. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 the Company recorded an impairment expense of $800,452 as a result of the decline in oil prices (See Note 3). Further, the effect of lower crude oil prices on the Company&amp;#8217;s future financial position or results of operations is not currently determinable due to broader economic and industry uncertainties, including the impact to the operators and other working interest owners of the properties in which the Company owns mineral interests.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font:10pt times new roman, times, serif;margin:0px"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font:10pt times new roman, times, serif;margin:0px"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;In the event crude oil or natural gas prices remain low, there is the risk that, among other things:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font:10pt times new roman, times, serif;margin:0.1pt 0px 0px"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin:0px"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="border-spacing:0;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;font:10pt times new roman, times, serif;width:100%" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tr style="height:15px;vertical-align:top"&gt; &lt;td style="width:42;"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width:18;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;#183;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 15.55pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;the Company&amp;#8217;s revenues, cash flows and profitability may decline substantially, which could also indirectly impact expected production by reducing the amount of funds available to acquire future mineral interests;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p style="margin:0px"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="border-spacing:0;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;font:10pt/98% times new roman, times, serif;width:100%" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tr style="height:15px;vertical-align:top"&gt; &lt;td style="width:42;"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width:18;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;#183;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 6.65pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;reserves relating to the Company&amp;#8217;s proved properties may become uneconomic to produce resulting in impairment of proved properties; and&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p style="margin:0px"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="border-spacing:0;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0.15pt;font:10pt times new roman, times, serif;width:100%" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tr style="height:15px;vertical-align:top"&gt; &lt;td style="width:42;"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width:18;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;#183;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 5pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;operators and other working interest owners are unable to execute their drilling and exploration programs resulting in lower production or inability to prove reserves on unproved properties&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p style="font:10pt times new roman, times, serif;margin:0px 11.4pt 0px 0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font:10pt times new roman, times, serif;margin:0px 11.4pt 0px 0px"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;The occurrence of certain of these events may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font:10pt times new roman, times, serif;margin:0px 11.4pt 0px 0px"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;In early March 2020, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19 that has resulted in changes in global supply and demand of certain mineral and energy products. These changes, including the magnitude and length of the economic downturn and any potential resulting direct and indirect negative impact to the Company cannot be determined, but they could have a prospective material impact to the Company&amp;#8217;s acquisition and project development activities, and cash flows and liquidity.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the ability of the Company to raise capital and attain future profitable operations. The ultimate recoverability of the Company's investment in oil and natural gas interests is dependent upon the existence and discovery of economically recoverable oil and natural gas reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to further develop the interests, and the ability of the Company to attain future profitable production.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $590,183 of cash and working capital deficit of $7,158,698, which includes the net balance of the Senior Revolver Loan Agreement of $8,3338,908 which matures March 27, 2021. The Company has proved reserves of approximately 3,600 Mbbls of oil and 400 MMcf of natural gas (as of December 31, 2019), all of which have been acquired within the last two years. The Company plans to continue to look for oil and natural gas investments and will use a combination of debt and equity financing to fund the acquisitions. The Company expects to also incur costs related to evaluating and acquiring oil and natural gas acquisitions for the foreseeable future. It is expected that management will attempt to raise additional capital for future investment and working capital opportunities.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;Compensation of Officers and Employees&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;As of March 31, 2020, the Company had three employees.

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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0.05pt 0px 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0.05pt 0px 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Interim financial statements.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

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)&amp;nbsp;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 March 31, 2020, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $240,000.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0.05pt 0px 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0.05pt 0px 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fair value measurements.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") fair value measurement standards define fair value, establish a consistent framework for measuring fair value and establish a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair value.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px 0.3in; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Convertible debt - &lt;/em&gt;The carrying value of the convertible debt approximate fair value as of December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020 all of the convertible debt had been converted to shares of the Company&amp;#8217;s common stock. Management's estimates are based on the assessment of qualitative factors that are considered Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy as required by FASB ASC 820.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px 0.3in; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0.05pt 0.3in 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oil and natural gas properties - &lt;/em&gt;The fair value of proved and unproved 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 and unproved 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. For significant purchases, management utilized 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; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0.05pt 0.3in 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0.05pt 0.3in 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;The fair value of asset retirement obligations is included in proved oil and natural gas properties with a corresponding liability in the table above.

The Agreement matures on March 27, 2021. Collateral for the loan is a lien on all of the assets of the Company&amp;#8217;s wholly owned subsidiaries, Empire Louisiana and Empire North Dakota, and a first priority mortgage lien, pledge of and security interest in not less than 80% of Empire Louisiana&amp;#8217;s and Empire North Dakota&amp;#8217;s producing oil, gas and other leasehold and mineral interests. The Agreement requires Empire Louisiana, beginning December 31, 2018 to maintain certain covenants including an EBITDAX to interest expense of at least 3:1 and funded debt to EBITDAX of 4:1 on a trailing twelve month basis. The Company is not in compliance with the funded debt to EBITDAX covenant of the Agreement at March 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has an outstanding loan balance of $8,397,253 under the Agreement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;In January, 2020 three of the Senior Unsecured Promissory Note investors exercised the conversion feature and converted their $102,500 notes for 1,025,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on losses. As a result, if there is a loss from continuing operations, Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as Basic EPS. At March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had 5,004,167 and 4,167 respectively, options outstanding that were not included in the calculation of earnings per share for the periods then ended. Such financial instruments may become dilutive and would then need to be included in future calculations of Diluted EPS. At March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;In March 2019, 1,446,668 outstanding $0.15 warrants were converted to shares of common stock of the Company.

The total number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to stock options under the Stock Option Plan is 10,000,000. Further, on April 3, 2019 the Company granted Mr. Pritchard and Mr. Morrissett each, options to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.33 per share. The options vest in three installments with 1,250,000 vesting immediately and 625,000 vesting each in April 2020 and April, 2021. All of the options expire in April, 2029. The value allocated&amp;nbsp;to the vested options was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation with the following assumptions:&amp;nbsp; no dividend yield, expected annual volatility of 213%, risk free interest rate of 2.32% and an expected useful life of 5.375 years. The fair value of the vested options of $812,500 was recorded as compensation expense and allocated to Paid in Capital.

The purchase price included the assumption of certain obligations and a contingent payment not to exceed $2,000,000 reduced by certain revenue suspense amounts. The primary liability assumed is the asset retirement obligation for the properties, which the Company is in the process of evaluating. The contingent payment is based on oil production in excess of a specified level from the purchased properties and an average realized oil price of $40 or more per barrel of oil through December 31, 2022.

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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:UseOfEstimates>

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)&amp;nbsp;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 March 31, 2020, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $240,000.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:RevenueRecognitionPolicyTextBlock>

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. For significant purchases, management utilized 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; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0.05pt 0.3in 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0.05pt 0.3in 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"&gt;The fair value of asset retirement obligations is included in proved oil and natural gas properties with a corresponding liability in the table above.

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> <p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0.05pt 0px 0px; text-align:justify;"><font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif">&nbsp;</font></p> <p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0.05pt 0px 0px; text-align:justify;"><font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"><strong><em>Interim financial statements.</em></strong> The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

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)&nbsp;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 March 31, 2020, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $240,000.</font></p> <p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0.05pt 0px 0px; text-align:justify;"><font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif">&nbsp;</font></p> <p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0.05pt 0px 0px; text-align:justify;"><font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"><strong><em>Fair value measurements.</em></strong> The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") fair value measurement standards define fair value, establish a consistent framework for measuring fair value and establish a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair value.</font></p> <p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif">&nbsp;</font></p> <p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px 0.3in; text-align:justify;"><font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif"><em>Convertible debt - </em>The carrying value of the convertible debt approximate fair value as of December 31, 2019.

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.

The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on losses. As a result, if there is a loss from continuing operations, Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as Basic EPS. At March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had 5,004,167 and 4,167 respectively, options outstanding that were not included in the calculation of earnings per share for the periods then ended. Such financial instruments may become dilutive and would then need to be included in future calculations of Diluted EPS. At March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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> <p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif">&nbsp;</font></p> <p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman, times, serif; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><font style="font-family:times new roman, times, serif">In March 2019, 1,446,668 outstanding $0.15 warrants were converted to shares of common stock of the Company.

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></div><span></span>

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)&nbsp;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 March 31, 2020, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $240,000.</font></p></div><span></span>
