Oil & Gas Property Acquisitions:

On March 22, 2012,we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Twin City Technical, LLC, a North Dakota limited liability company, and Irish Oil and Gas, Inc., a Nevada corporation, dated March 21, 2012, to acquire all of the Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to certain oil and gas mineral leases comprising approximately 8,655 net acres of undeveloped oil and gas properties primarily located in McKenzie, Mountrail, Williams, Burke, Divide, Dunn Counties, and other associated positions in North Dakota, in consideration for a total of $24,235,036 of cash payable in full at the closing, plus an aggregate of 577,025 shares of the Company’s common stock, which shares of common stock will also be issued as a deposit.  The closing of the purchase and sale of the assets is expected to occur upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the asset purchase agreement, but no later than June 1, 2012, unless the Sellers and us mutually agree in writing to extend the closing date.  Among other things, closing is conditioned on the Company having obtained sufficient capital to pay the cash portion of the purchase price.
On March 16, 2012, we purchased approximately 259 net acres of oil and gas properties in North Dakota from a total of nine different sellers.  In consideration for their assignment of these mineral leases, we paid the sellers a total of $131,075.

On February 14, 2012, we purchased approximately 543 net acres of oil and gas properties in North Dakota.  In consideration for the assignment of these mineral leases, we paid the seller a total of $944,096.

Name Change

Our Board of Directors has approved changing the corporate name to Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc.  The name change is expected to become effective on April 2, 2012.  The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the OTCBB using the ticker symbol ANFC.

Increase in Capitalization

We intend to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares because we believe that for us to grow our business, increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock will allow us to acquire other businesses in the future or raise capital.  This may require us to issue a significant number of additional shares of our common stock.  The number of our authorized shares of preferred stock will remain at 20,000,000.  This action will become effective no sooner than 20 days after we mail a notice and related information statement to our stockholders.

Potential Reverse Stock Split

Our Board approved resolutions authorizing the Company to implement a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio of up to 1:10 and any related amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation.  Our stockholders have also approved the amendment by written consent.

Our Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors has the authority to decide whether to implement a reverse stock split and the exact amount of the split within the foregoing range, if it is to be implemented.  If the reverse split is implemented, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock would be reduced in accordance with the exchange ratio selected by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof.  The total number of authorized shares of Common Stock will be reduced proportionately as a result of the reverse stock split and the total number of shares of authorized preferred stock will remain unchanged at 20,000,000 shares.

We believe that a reverse split would, among other things, (i) better enable the Company to obtain a listing on a national securities exchange, (ii) facilitate higher levels of institutional stock ownership, where investment policies generally prohibit investments in lower-priced securities and (iii) better enable the Company to raise funds to finance its planned operations.  There can be no assurance however that we will be able to obtain a listing on a national securities exchange even if we implement the reverse stock split.

This action will become effective (to permit the board in its future discretion to implement a reverse stock split) no sooner than 20 days after we mail a notice and related information statement to our stockholders.
