GOING CONCERN	Although the Company’s senior Tranche A Notes (as defined and discussed below under “Note 9- Notes Payable - 2016 Senior Note Financing”) do not mature until May 11, 2019, with all of the Comapny’s other debt expressly subordinated thereto with no amounts due or owing under such subordinated debt until June 11, 2019 at the earliest, with the exception of the New MIEJ Note (as defined and discussed below under “Note 9 - Notes Payable - MIE Jurassic Energy Corporation”), which matures on March 8, 2019 and with interest accruing thru March 8, 2018 being payable on such date, the realization of the Company’s assets and satisfaction of its liabilities remains contingent on the completion of a financing. The Company anticipates that it will need approximately $11 million in 2017 to execute its current business plan and is currently actively negotiating the necessary financing. In the event that the Company is unable to complete the financing currently under consideration, and is otherwise unable to replace such financing on a timely basis, it would materially affect the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If such financing is not completed, among other things, the Company expects that it would incur an impairment of its oil and gas properties in the range of $29 million and the Company’s ability to meet its obligations from existing cash flows would be significantly affected. If the Company would be required to seek financing from other sources, such financings may not be available or, if available, may not be on terms acceptable to the Company or its existing lenders. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise capital to meet its debt obligations, working capital needs, and develop its oil and gas properties to attain profitable operations. Management has concluded that there is substantial doubt as to the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issue date of these financial statements.
