In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, the results

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. 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.</P>

$3,914,678 of cash and working capital deficit of $7,047,930, which includes the net balance of the Senior Revolver Loan Agreement
of $7,849,500. The Senior Revolver Loan Agreement matures March 27, 2022 and, as of March 31, 2021, the Company is not in compliance
with its financial covenants under the Loan Agreement (See Note 8). The Company has proved reserves 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.</P>

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

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.</P>

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

Company recognizes revenues from the sales of oil and natural gas to its customers and presents them aggregated on the Company's
condensed 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, 2021, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of
approximately $855,000, joint interest billings of approximately $383,000 and other receivables of approximately $44,000.</P>

properties - </I>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
(&quot;NYMEX&quot;) 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 acquisitions, management utilized the assistance of a third-party valuation
expert to estimate the value of the oil and natural gas properties acquired.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9.5pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">On August 6, 2020 the Company, through its
wholly owned subsidiary, Empire Texas, entered into a joint development agreement (the &ldquo;JDA&rdquo;) with Petroleum &amp;
Independent Exploration, LLC and related entities (&ldquo;PIE&rdquo;) dated August 1, 2020. Under the terms of the JDA, PIE will
perform recompletion or workover on specified mutually agreed upon wells (&ldquo;Workover Wells&rdquo;) owned by Empire Texas. To
fund the work, PIE entered into a term loan agreement with Empire Texas dated August 1, 2020, whereby PIE will loan up to
$2,000,000, at an interest rate of 6% per annum, maturing August 7, 2024 unless terminated earlier by PIE. Proceeds of the loan will
be used for recompletion or workover of the Workover Wells. As of March 31, 2021 approximately $446,000 has been advanced from the
loan and is presented as corresponding other long-term assets and long-term notes payable. As part of the JDA, Empire Texas will
assign to PIE a combined 85% working and revenue interest in the Workover Wells; an assignment was completed in October 2020 for the
initial three Workover Wells. Of the assigned interest, 70% working and revenue interest will be used to repay the obligations under
the term loan agreement. Once the term loan is repaid, PIE will reassign a 35% working and revenue interest to Empire Texas in each
of the Workover Wells and retain a 50% working and revenue interest (See Note 10). Activity resulting from the JDA is being treated
as a conveyance.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9.5pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In addition, PIE and Empire entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement (&ldquo;Securities Agreement&rdquo;) whereby PIE purchased for $525,000 (a) 3,500,000 shares of Empire common stock,
(b) warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, (c) warrants to purchase 1,800,000
shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, (d) warrants to purchase 8,136,518 shares of Empire common stock
at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, and (e) warrants to purchase up to 11,066,667 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price
of $0.141 per share. Pursuant to the Securities Agreement, PIE was obligated to exercise the $0.20 warrants within 45 days of when 3 month
trailing average production from the Empire Texas properties have increased by 20% over the trailing 3 month trailing average production
as of July 2020. PIE can only exercise the $0.25 warrants once all existing non-PIE outstanding warrants to purchase Empire common stock
have been exercised or lapsed. For the $0.141 warrants, PIE may initially acquire 7,533,333 shares of Empire common stock, however the
amount could be increased if any existing non-PIE warrants were exercised prior to December 31, 2020. On March 11, 2021 the Company amended
the Securities Agreement to remove the vesting provisions for the warrants and PIE exercised all of its warrants for an aggregate exercise
price of $3,349,052 (See Note 10).</P>

maximum amount that can be advanced under the Agreement is $20,000,000 and includes interest at Wall Street Journal Prime plus 150 basis
points (4.75% as of March 31, 2021). The Amended Agreement matures on March 27, 2022. Collateral for the loan is a lien on all of the
assets of the Company&rsquo;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&rsquo;s and Empire North Dakota&rsquo;s producing oil, gas and
other leasehold and mineral interests. The Amended Agreement requires the Company maintain commodity derivatives at certain thresholds
based on projected production and, beginning March 31, 2021, to maintain certain covenants including an EBITDAX to interest expense of
at least 3:1 and funded debt to EBITDAX of 6:1 on a trailing twelve month basis and reducing quarterly to 4:1 as of March 31, 2022 and
thereafter. The Company is not in compliance with these covenants of the Amended Agreement at March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the
Company has an outstanding loan balance of $7,849,500 under the Amended Agreement.</P>

headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The lease expires on December 31, 2025 and has an option to renew for an additional five-year term. The
option to renew the lease is generally not considered reasonably certain to be exercised. Therefore, the period covered by such optional
period is not included in the determination of the term of the lease and the lease payments during these periods are similarly excluded
from the calculation of right-of-use lease asset and lease liability balances.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9.5pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Diluted 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, 2021 and 2020, the Company had 10,000,000
and 5,004,167 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,
2021 and 2020, the outstanding options were considered anti-dilutive because the strike prices were above the market price and the Company
has incurred operating losses year to date.</P>

revenues from oil and natural gas sales were $ 2,456,458 and $1,314,399 respectively.&nbsp;In 2020, due to COVID and other economic factors,
prices of oil and natural gas declined, resulting in the Company reducing volumes produced. In 2021, the Company included revenue from
the Pardus properties of approximately $960,000, which were not owned in the first quarter of 2020.</P>

and depletion and amortization and accretion increased to $2,052,847 cumulatively for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $1,916,885
for the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased production taxes due to higher prices for oil and natural gas
sold and higher accretion of asset retirement obligation due to the addition of the Pardus properties in 2021.</P>

decreased to $(357,915) for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from $2,509,045 in the same period 2020 due primarily to increases

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Lower oil and natural gas prices present challenges
to our industry and our Company. The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic have caused oil price volatility in 2020. In the first three
quarters of 2020, gains on settled derivatives offset a large portion of the impact of the recent decline in prices and slower production,
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.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9.5pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In 2020, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19
which has resulted in changes in global supply and demand of certain mineral and energy products.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9.5pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9.5pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Decreased transportation, manufacturing and general
economic activity levels prompted by COVID-19 and related governmental and societal actions reduced the demand for oil-based products
such as gasoline, jet fuel and other refined products, which prompted purchasers of oil and condensate to reduce purchase levels. These
situations led to production greater than storage capacity at some points during the year. 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.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 9.5pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">There is uncertainty around the continuing 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
continue to disrupt our operations, the degree of the adverse financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.</P>

this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision of the Company's President (and principal financial
officer) of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities
Exchange Act Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e). Based on this evaluation, the Company's President (and principal financial officer)
has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are not effective. As
described in the Company&lsquo;s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange commission (the
&ldquo;SEC&rdquo;) on March 31, 2021, our Chief Executive Officer and President (principal financial officer) concluded that, as of
December 31, 2020, our reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as we do
not have sufficient resources in our accounting function, which restricts the Company&rsquo;s ability to gather, analyze and
properly review information related to financial reporting in a timely manner. In addition, due to our size and nature, segregation
of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. The Company engaged a financial
consultant during the quarter to assist with the evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures and will continue to perform
additional analysis and procedures to implement appropriate disclosure controls and procedures.&nbsp;Notwithstanding the assessment
that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, we believe that our condensed consolidated financial statements
fairly present our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods thereby covered in all
material respects.</P>

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP 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, 2021.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&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, 2020 which are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 31, 2021.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&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. 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;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $3,914,678 of cash and working capital deficit of $7,047,930, which includes the net balance of the Senior Revolver Loan Agreement of $7,849,500. The Senior Revolver Loan Agreement matures March 27, 2022 and, as of March 31, 2021, the Company is not in compliance with its financial covenants under the Loan Agreement (See Note 8). The Company has proved reserves 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;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;However, there can be no assurances the Company will be able to refinance or restructure its existing indebtedness, raise sufficient capital to fund its strategic development plans, and meet its various capital needs. As a result of these uncertainties, management has concluded there is substantial doubt regarding the Company&amp;#8217;s ability to continue as a going concern.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;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;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&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, 2021. In 2020, crude oil prices in both the spot market and futures market experienced significant volatility. For the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company recorded an impairment expense of $8,671,303 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;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;In the event crude oil or natural gas prices remain low, there is the risk that, among other things:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="border-spacing:0;font-size:10pt;width:100%" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tr style="height:15px"&gt; &lt;td style="width:7%;"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width:3%;vertical-align:top;"&gt; &lt;p style="margin:0px"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:symbol"&gt;&amp;#183;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="vertical-align:top;"&gt; &lt;p style="margin:0px"&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;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="border-spacing:0;font-size:10pt;width:100%" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tr style="height:15px"&gt; &lt;td style="width:7%;"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width:3%;vertical-align:top;"&gt; &lt;p style="margin:0px"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:symbol"&gt;&amp;#183;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="vertical-align:top;"&gt; &lt;p style="margin:0px"&gt;reserves relating to the Company&amp;#8217;s proved properties may become uneconomic to produce resulting in impairment of proved properties; and&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="border-spacing:0;font-size:10pt;width:100%" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tr style="height:15px"&gt; &lt;td style="width:7%;"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width:3%;vertical-align:top;"&gt; &lt;p style="margin:0px"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:symbol"&gt;&amp;#183;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="vertical-align:top;"&gt; &lt;p style="margin:0px"&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;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"&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;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;In early March 2020 there was a global outbreak of COVID-19 which has continued and resulted in changes in global supply and demand of certain mineral and energy products.

All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0in; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Depletion of oil and natural gas properties is determined using estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. Similarly, evaluations for impairment of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others, estimates of future recoverable reserves, commodity price outlooks and prevailing market rates of other sources of income and costs. Other significant estimates include, but are not limited to, asset retirement obligations, fair value of assets purchased in business combinations, and taxes.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0in; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Interim financial statements.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. In preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0in; text-align:justify;"&gt;Certain disclosures have been condensed in or omitted from these condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these condensed notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0in; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inventory &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Inventory consists of oil in tanks which has not been delivered and is valued at the contract price to the buyer.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0in; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Revenue recognition.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; The Company recognizes revenues from the sales of oil and natural gas to its customers and presents them aggregated on the Company's condensed 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)&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, 2021, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $855,000, joint interest billings of approximately $383,000 and other receivables of approximately $44,000.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fair value measurements.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&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;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.3in; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Impairment of 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 acquisitions, management utilized the assistance of a third-party valuation expert to estimate the value of the oil and natural gas properties acquired.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.3in; text-align:justify;"&gt;The fair value of asset retirement obligations is included in proved oil and natural gas properties with a corresponding liability. The fair value was determined 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.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.3in; text-align:justify;"&gt;The inputs used to value oil and natural gas properties for impairments and asset retirement obligations require significant judgment and estimates made by management and represent Level 3 inputs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.3in; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px;text-indent:30px"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Derivative instruments&lt;/em&gt; - The fair value of the Company&amp;#8217;s derivative instruments are measured at fair value using third party pricing services and represent Level 2 inputs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.3in; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Financial instruments and other- &lt;/em&gt;The fair values determined for accounts receivable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities were equivalent to the carrying value due to their short-term nature.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related Party Transactions. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Transactions between related parties are considered to be related party transactions even though they may not be given accounting recognition. FASB ASC 850,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Related Party Disclosures&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;(&amp;#8220;FASB ASC 850&amp;#8221;) requires that transactions with related parties that would make a difference in decision making shall be disclosed so that users of the financial statements can evaluate their significance. Related party transactions typically occur within the context of the following relationships: affiliates of the entity; entities for which investments in their equity securities is typically accounted for under the equity method by the investing entity; trusts for the benefit of employees; principal owners of the entity and members of their immediate families; management of the entity and members of their immediate families; and other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:SignificantAccountingPoliciesTextBlock>

Under the terms of the JDA, PIE will perform recompletion or workover on specified mutually agreed upon wells (&amp;#8220;Workover Wells&amp;#8221;) owned by Empire Texas. To fund the work, PIE entered into a term loan agreement with Empire Texas dated August 1, 2020, whereby PIE will loan up to $2,000,000, at an interest rate of 6% per annum, maturing August 7, 2024 unless terminated earlier by PIE. Proceeds of the loan will be used for recompletion or workover of the Workover Wells. As of March 31, 2021 approximately $446,000 has been advanced from the loan and is presented as corresponding other long-term assets and long-term notes payable. As part of the JDA, Empire Texas will assign to PIE a combined 85% working and revenue interest in the Workover Wells; an assignment was completed in October 2020 for the initial three Workover Wells. Of the assigned interest, 70% working and revenue interest will be used to repay the obligations under the term loan agreement. Once the term loan is repaid, PIE will reassign a 35% working and revenue interest to Empire Texas in each of the Workover Wells and retain a 50% working and revenue interest (See Note 10). Activity resulting from the JDA is being treated as a conveyance.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;In addition, PIE and Empire entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (&amp;#8220;Securities Agreement&amp;#8221;) whereby PIE purchased for $525,000 (a) 3,500,000 shares of Empire common stock, (b) warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, (c) warrants to purchase 1,800,000 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, (d) warrants to purchase 8,136,518 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, and (e) warrants to purchase up to 11,066,667 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.141 per share. Pursuant to the Securities Agreement, PIE was obligated to exercise the $0.20 warrants within 45 days of when 3 month trailing average production from the Empire Texas properties have increased by 20% over the trailing 3 month trailing average production as of July 2020. PIE can only exercise the $0.25 warrants once all existing non-PIE outstanding warrants to purchase Empire common stock have been exercised or lapsed. For the $0.141 warrants, PIE may initially acquire 7,533,333 shares of Empire common stock, however the amount could be increased if any existing non-PIE warrants were exercised prior to December 31, 2020. On March 11, 2021 the Company amended the Securities Agreement to remove the vesting provisions for the warrants and PIE exercised all of its warrants for an aggregate exercise price of $3,349,052 (See Note 10).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</empr:JointDevlopmentAgreementDisclosureTextblock>

Commodity derivative instruments are used to reduce the effect of volatility of price changes on the oil and natural gas the Company produces and sells. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company&amp;#8217;s derivative financial instruments consist of oil swaps.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;The Company does not designate its derivative instruments to qualify for hedge accounting.

The Amended Agreement commitment amount is $8,520,000 which is reduced by $180,000 per calendar quarter beginning March 31, 2021 and the maximum amount that can be advanced under the Agreement is $20,000,000 and includes interest at Wall Street Journal Prime plus 150 basis points (4.75% as of March 31, 2021). The Amended Agreement matures on March 27, 2022. 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 Amended Agreement requires the Company maintain commodity derivatives at certain thresholds based on projected production and, beginning March 31, 2021, to maintain certain covenants including an EBITDAX to interest expense of at least 3:1 and funded debt to EBITDAX of 6:1 on a trailing twelve month basis and reducing quarterly to 4:1 as of March 31, 2022 and thereafter. The Company is not in compliance with these covenants of the Amended Agreement at March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has an outstanding loan balance of $7,849,500 under the Amended Agreement.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;During 2016 and 2017, the Company issued $260,000 of Senior Unsecured Promissory Notes which contained a conversion feature allowing the investors to convert the Notes into shares of the Company&amp;#8217;s common stock. In 2019, all but three of the Note holders converted their notes with a balance of $157,500 into 1,575,000 shares of the Company&amp;#8217;s common stock. 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. All of the Senior Unsecured Promissory Notes have been converted to common stock of the Company as of March 31, 2020.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;On April 1, 2020, in conjunction with the purchase of assets from Pardus Oil &amp;amp; Gas, LLC (see Note 5), the Company entered into a unsecured promissory note agreement with the seller in the amount of $378,000. The note is payable in one installment on April 1, 2021 and bears interest at the one-year LIBOR rate (1% as of March 31, 2021).

The loan matures on May 5, 2022 and has an interest rate of 1%. There are no payments due until ten months after the covered period which ended October 20, 2020, at which time the payment amount will be determined based on the portion of the loan which has not been forgiven under criteria established by the SBA, using an eighteen-month amortization. On April 26, 2021 the Company filed its application for forgiveness of the entire PPP loan, which is subject to SBA approval.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;In August 2020, concurrent with the Joint Development Agreement with Petroleum and Independent Exploration, LLC (&amp;#8220;PIE&amp;#8221;), the Company entered into a term loan agreement dated August 1, 2020, whereby PIE will loan up to $2,000,000, at an interest rate of 6% per annum, maturing August 7, 2024 unless terminated earlier by PIE. The loan proceeds will be used for recompletion or workover of certain designated wells. In addition, the Company assigned a 70% working and revenue interest to PIE in the designated wells which will be applied to repayment of the loan. As of March 31, 2021, approximately $446,000 has been advanced from the loan (See Note 6).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:AccountsPayableAndAccruedLiabilitiesDisclosureTextBlock>

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, 2021 and 2020, the Company had 10,000,000 and 5,004,167 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, 2021 and 2020, the outstanding options were considered anti-dilutive because the strike prices were above the market price and the Company has incurred operating losses year to date.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;On April 3, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Empire Petroleum Corporation 2019 Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"). 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 in 2019. In 2020, the fair value of the options which vested in April 2020 of $406,250 was recorded as compensation expense and allocated to Paid in Capital. The fair of the remaining unvested options is $406,250 as of March 31, 2021.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;On August 7, 2020 concurrently with the Joint Development Agreement with Petroleum &amp;amp; Independent Exploration, LLC and related entities (&amp;#8220;PIE&amp;#8221;), the companies entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (&amp;#8220;Securities Agreement&amp;#8221;) whereby PIE purchased for $525,000 (a) 3,500,000 shares of Empire common stock, (b) warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, (c) warrants to purchase 1,800,000 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, (d) warrants to purchase 8,136,518 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, and (e) warrants to purchase up to 11,066,667 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.141 per share. PIE is obligated to exercise the $0.20 warrants within 45 days of when 3 month trailing average production from the Empire Texas properties have increased by 20% over the trailing 3 month trailing average production as of July 2020. PIE can only exercise the $0.25 warrants once all existing non-PIE outstanding warrants to purchase Empire common stock have been exercised or lapsed. For the $0.141 warrants, PIE may initially acquire 7,533,333 shares of Empire common stock, however the amount may be increased if any existing non-PIE warrants are exercised prior to December 31, 2020. The value allocated&amp;nbsp;to the warrants was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation with the following assumptions:&amp;nbsp; no dividend yield, expected annual volatility of 147%, risk free interest rate of .19% and an expected useful life of 4 years. The fair value of the warrants of $450,848 was allocated to Paid in Capital (See Note 8). On March 11, 2021 the Company amended the Securities Agreement to remove the vesting provisions for the warrants and PIE exercised the warrants for an aggregate exercise price of $3,349,052 (See Note 6).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;During February and March 2021, the Company issued to a group of accredited investors 8,993,858 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 8,993,858 shares of its common stock for $.50 per share which expires on December 31, 2022. Proceeds from the sale were $3,147,850. The value allocated&amp;nbsp;to the warrants was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation with the following assumptions:&amp;nbsp; no dividend yield, expected annual volatility of 180%, risk free interest rate of .14% and an expected useful life of 21 months. The fair value of the warrants of $2,350,407 was allocated to Paid in Capital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:StockholdersEquityNoteDisclosureTextBlock>

The purchase price is $17,800,000 subject to customary adjustments. The Company wired a deposit of $1,780,000 to the Seller on March 12, 2021. As a part of the transaction, the Company established Empire New Mexico, LLC. The effective date of the transactions contemplated by the purchase and sale agreement is January 1, 2021 and the transaction closed on May 14, 2021.

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 business combinations, and taxes.&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, 2021, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $855,000, joint interest billings of approximately $383,000 and other receivables of approximately $44,000.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:RevenueRecognitionPolicyTextBlock>

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 acquisitions, management utilized the assistance of a third-party valuation expert to estimate the value of the oil and natural gas properties acquired.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.3in; text-align:justify;"&gt;The fair value of asset retirement obligations is included in proved oil and natural gas properties with a corresponding liability.

<td class="text"><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN"><p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Empire Petroleum Corporation ("Empire" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (&#8220;GAAP&#8221;) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP 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, 2021.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">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, 2020 which are contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 31, 2021.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">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. 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.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $3,914,678 of cash and working capital deficit of $7,047,930, which includes the net balance of the Senior Revolver Loan Agreement of $7,849,500. The Senior Revolver Loan Agreement matures March 27, 2022 and, as of March 31, 2021, the Company is not in compliance with its financial covenants under the Loan Agreement (See Note 8). The Company has proved reserves 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.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">However, there can be no assurances the Company will be able to refinance or restructure its existing indebtedness, raise sufficient capital to fund its strategic development plans, and meet its various capital needs. As a result of these uncertainties, management has concluded there is substantial doubt regarding the Company&#8217;s ability to continue as a going concern.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">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.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">The Company&#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, 2021. In 2020, crude oil prices in both the spot market and futures market experienced significant volatility. For the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company recorded an impairment expense of $8,671,303 as a result of the decline in oil prices (See Note 3). Further, the effect of lower crude oil prices on the Company&#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.</p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">In the event crude oil or natural gas prices remain low, there is the risk that, among other things:</p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <table style="border-spacing:0;font-size:10pt;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="width:7%;"></td> <td style="width:3%;vertical-align:top;"> <p style="margin:0px"><font style="font-family:symbol">&#183;</font></p></td> <td style="vertical-align:top;"> <p style="margin:0px">the Company&#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;</p></td></tr></table> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <table style="border-spacing:0;font-size:10pt;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="width:7%;"></td> <td style="width:3%;vertical-align:top;"> <p style="margin:0px"><font style="font-family:symbol">&#183;</font></p></td> <td style="vertical-align:top;"> <p style="margin:0px">reserves relating to the Company&#8217;s proved properties may become uneconomic to produce resulting in impairment of proved properties; and</p></td></tr></table> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <table style="border-spacing:0;font-size:10pt;width:100%" cellpadding="0"> <tr style="height:15px"> <td style="width:7%;"></td> <td style="width:3%;vertical-align:top;"> <p style="margin:0px"><font style="font-family:symbol">&#183;</font></p></td> <td style="vertical-align:top;"> <p style="margin:0px">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</p></td></tr></table> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp; </p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">The occurrence of certain of these events may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.</p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">In early March 2020 there was a global outbreak of COVID-19 which has continued and 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&#8217;s acquisition and project development activities, and cash flows and liquidity.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">As of March 31, 2021, the Company had six employees. No independent Board members received compensation from the Company in the first three months of 2021 or 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company paid its officers, Mr. Morrisett and Mr. Pritchard, $62,500 each for services rendered. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company paid Mr. Morrisett and Mr. Pritchard $63,500 each for services rendered excluding the value of options awarded. In addition, as of March 31, 2021 Mr. Pritchard has outstanding advances of $26,871. Mr. Pritchard has an agreement with the Company to repay the outstanding advance on or before June 30, 2021.</p></div><span></span>

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

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, 2021, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $855,000, joint interest billings of approximately $383,000 and other receivables of approximately $44,000.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Fair value measurements.</strong></em> 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.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.3in; text-align:justify;"><em>Impairment of oil and natural gas properties - </em>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 acquisitions, management utilized the assistance of a third-party valuation expert to estimate the value of the oil and natural gas properties acquired.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.3in; text-align:justify;">The fair value of asset retirement obligations is included in proved oil and natural gas properties with a corresponding liability. The fair value was determined 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> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.3in; text-align:justify;">The inputs used to value oil and natural gas properties for impairments and asset retirement obligations require significant judgment and estimates made by management and represent Level 3 inputs.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.3in; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-size:10pt;font-family:times new roman;margin:0px;text-indent:30px"><em>Derivative instruments</em> - The fair value of the Company&#8217;s derivative instruments are measured at fair value using third party pricing services and represent Level 2 inputs.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.3in; text-align:justify;"><em>Financial instruments and other- </em>The fair values determined for accounts receivable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities were equivalent to the carrying value due to their short-term nature.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Related Party Transactions. </strong></em>Transactions between related parties are considered to be related party transactions even though they may not be given accounting recognition.

<td class="text"><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN"><p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">On August 6, 2020 the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Empire Texas, entered into a joint development agreement (the &#8220;JDA&#8221;) with Petroleum &amp; Independent Exploration, LLC and related entities (&#8220;PIE&#8221;) dated August 1, 2020. Under the terms of the JDA, PIE will perform recompletion or workover on specified mutually agreed upon wells (&#8220;Workover Wells&#8221;) owned by Empire Texas. To fund the work, PIE entered into a term loan agreement with Empire Texas dated August 1, 2020, whereby PIE will loan up to $2,000,000, at an interest rate of 6% per annum, maturing August 7, 2024 unless terminated earlier by PIE. Proceeds of the loan will be used for recompletion or workover of the Workover Wells. As of March 31, 2021 approximately $446,000 has been advanced from the loan and is presented as corresponding other long-term assets and long-term notes payable. As part of the JDA, Empire Texas will assign to PIE a combined 85% working and revenue interest in the Workover Wells; an assignment was completed in October 2020 for the initial three Workover Wells. Of the assigned interest, 70% working and revenue interest will be used to repay the obligations under the term loan agreement. Once the term loan is repaid, PIE will reassign a 35% working and revenue interest to Empire Texas in each of the Workover Wells and retain a 50% working and revenue interest (See Note 10). Activity resulting from the JDA is being treated as a conveyance.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">In addition, PIE and Empire entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (&#8220;Securities Agreement&#8221;) whereby PIE purchased for $525,000 (a) 3,500,000 shares of Empire common stock, (b) warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, (c) warrants to purchase 1,800,000 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, (d) warrants to purchase 8,136,518 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, and (e) warrants to purchase up to 11,066,667 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.141 per share. Pursuant to the Securities Agreement, PIE was obligated to exercise the $0.20 warrants within 45 days of when 3 month trailing average production from the Empire Texas properties have increased by 20% over the trailing 3 month trailing average production as of July 2020. PIE can only exercise the $0.25 warrants once all existing non-PIE outstanding warrants to purchase Empire common stock have been exercised or lapsed. For the $0.141 warrants, PIE may initially acquire 7,533,333 shares of Empire common stock, however the amount could be increased if any existing non-PIE warrants were exercised prior to December 31, 2020. On March 11, 2021 the Company amended the Securities Agreement to remove the vesting provisions for the warrants and PIE exercised all of its warrants for an aggregate exercise price of $3,349,052 (See Note 10).&nbsp;</p></div><span></span>

The Amended Agreement commitment amount is $8,520,000 which is reduced by $180,000 per calendar quarter beginning March 31, 2021 and the maximum amount that can be advanced under the Agreement is $20,000,000 and includes interest at Wall Street Journal Prime plus 150 basis points (4.75% as of March 31, 2021). The Amended Agreement matures on March 27, 2022. Collateral for the loan is a lien on all of the assets of the Company&#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&#8217;s and Empire North Dakota&#8217;s producing oil, gas and other leasehold and mineral interests. The Amended Agreement requires the Company maintain commodity derivatives at certain thresholds based on projected production and, beginning March 31, 2021, to maintain certain covenants including an EBITDAX to interest expense of at least 3:1 and funded debt to EBITDAX of 6:1 on a trailing twelve month basis and reducing quarterly to 4:1 as of March 31, 2022 and thereafter. The Company is not in compliance with these covenants of the Amended Agreement at March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has an outstanding loan balance of $7,849,500 under the Amended Agreement.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">During 2016 and 2017, the Company issued $260,000 of Senior Unsecured Promissory Notes which contained a conversion feature allowing the investors to convert the Notes into shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock. In 2019, all but three of the Note holders converted their notes with a balance of $157,500 into 1,575,000 shares of the Company&#8217;s common stock. 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. All of the Senior Unsecured Promissory Notes have been converted to common stock of the Company as of March 31, 2020.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">On April 1, 2020, in conjunction with the purchase of assets from Pardus Oil &amp; Gas, LLC (see Note 5), the Company entered into a unsecured promissory note agreement with the seller in the amount of $378,000. The note is payable in one installment on April 1, 2021 and bears interest at the one-year LIBOR rate (1% as of March 31, 2021). The note was paid on April 1, 2021 (See Note 12).</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp; </p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;On May 5, 2020, the Company received an SBA Payroll Protection Plan (&#8220;PPP&#8221;) loan for $160,700. The loan matures on May 5, 2022 and has an interest rate of 1%. There are no payments due until ten months after the covered period which ended October 20, 2020, at which time the payment amount will be determined based on the portion of the loan which has not been forgiven under criteria established by the SBA, using an eighteen-month amortization. On April 26, 2021 the Company filed its application for forgiveness of the entire PPP loan, which is subject to SBA approval.</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">In August 2020, concurrent with the Joint Development Agreement with Petroleum and Independent Exploration, LLC (&#8220;PIE&#8221;), the Company entered into a term loan agreement dated August 1, 2020, whereby PIE will loan up to $2,000,000, at an interest rate of 6% per annum, maturing August 7, 2024 unless terminated earlier by PIE. The loan proceeds will be used for recompletion or workover of certain designated wells. In addition, the Company assigned a 70% working and revenue interest to PIE in the designated wells which will be applied to repayment of the loan. As of March 31, 2021, approximately $446,000 has been advanced from the loan (See Note 6).</p></div><span></span>

<td class="text"><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN"><p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; 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. 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, 2021 and 2020, the Company had 10,000,000 and 5,004,167 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, 2021 and 2020, the outstanding options were considered anti-dilutive because the strike prices were above the market price and the Company has incurred operating losses year to date.</p> <p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">On April 3, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Empire Petroleum Corporation 2019 Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"). 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&nbsp;to the vested options was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation with the following assumptions:&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 in 2019. In 2020, the fair value of the options which vested in April 2020 of $406,250 was recorded as compensation expense and allocated to Paid in Capital. The fair of the remaining unvested options is $406,250 as of March 31, 2021.</p> <p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">On August 7, 2020 concurrently with the Joint Development Agreement with Petroleum &amp; Independent Exploration, LLC and related entities (&#8220;PIE&#8221;), the companies entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (&#8220;Securities Agreement&#8221;) whereby PIE purchased for $525,000 (a) 3,500,000 shares of Empire common stock, (b) warrants to purchase 2,625,000 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, (c) warrants to purchase 1,800,000 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, (d) warrants to purchase 8,136,518 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, and (e) warrants to purchase up to 11,066,667 shares of Empire common stock at an exercise price of $0.141 per share. PIE is obligated to exercise the $0.20 warrants within 45 days of when 3 month trailing average production from the Empire Texas properties have increased by 20% over the trailing 3 month trailing average production as of July 2020. PIE can only exercise the $0.25 warrants once all existing non-PIE outstanding warrants to purchase Empire common stock have been exercised or lapsed. For the $0.141 warrants, PIE may initially acquire 7,533,333 shares of Empire common stock, however the amount may be increased if any existing non-PIE warrants are exercised prior to December 31, 2020. The value allocated&nbsp;to the warrants was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation with the following assumptions:&nbsp; no dividend yield, expected annual volatility of 147%, risk free interest rate of .19% and an expected useful life of 4 years. The fair value of the warrants of $450,848 was allocated to Paid in Capital (See Note 8). On March 11, 2021 the Company amended the Securities Agreement to remove the vesting provisions for the warrants and PIE exercised the warrants for an aggregate exercise price of $3,349,052 (See Note 6).</p> <p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="FONT: 10pt times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">During February and March 2021, the Company issued to a group of accredited investors 8,993,858 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 8,993,858 shares of its common stock for $.50 per share which expires on December 31, 2022. Proceeds from the sale were $3,147,850. The value allocated&nbsp;to the warrants was the fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation with the following assumptions:&nbsp; no dividend yield, expected annual volatility of 180%, risk free interest rate of .14% and an expected useful life of 21 months. The fair value of the warrants of $2,350,407 was allocated to Paid in Capital.</p></div><span></span>

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.

<td class="text"><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; FONT: 10pt TIMES NEW ROMAN"><p style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman; MARGIN: 0px; text-align:justify;">The Company recognizes revenues from the sales of oil and natural gas to its customers and presents them aggregated on the Company's condensed 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, 2021, the Company had receivables related to contracts with customers of approximately $855,000, joint interest billings of approximately $383,000 and other receivables of approximately $44,000.</p></div><span></span>
