EXPLANATORY
NOTE
We
are filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amended Filing”) to the Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Original Filing”)
of GASE Energy, Inc. for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) on April 15, 2014 to revise certain disclosures pursuant to a comment letter we received from the SEC in connection
with our filing of the Registration Statement on Form 10 with the SEC on September 8, 2014. This Amended Filing does not reflect
events that occurred after the Original Filing or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. This Amended
Filing should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company's other filings made with the SEC subsequent to
the filing of the Original Filing.
PART
I
ITEM
1. BUSINESS
Corporate
History
GASE
Energy, Inc. (formerly, “Great East Energy, Inc.,” the “Company”) was incorporated under the name Epsilon
Corp on October 17, 2011 in the State of Delaware. The business plan of the Company was originally to launch and maintain an on-line
social network for start-ups in high-tech industry, where entrepreneurs and investors and industry experts meet. Immediately after
the completion of the Share Exchange, the Company discontinued its on-line social network business and changed its business plan
to acquisition and development of natural gas properties located in Ukraine. Effective September 10, 2013, the Company changed
its name to Great East Energy, Inc. Effective June 13, 2014, the Company’s name was changed to “GASE Energy, Inc.”
Share
Exchange Agreement
On
July 25, 2013, we consummated transactions (the “Share Exchange”) pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement
(the “Share Exchange Agreement”) dated July 25, 2013 by and among the Company and the stockholders of Great East Energy,
Inc., a Nevada corporation (“GEEI”), (the “GEEI Stockholders”), whereby GEEI Stockholders transferred
100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of GEEI held by them, in exchange for an aggregate of 330,008 newly issued shares
of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”). As a result, GEEI became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company.
Stock
Purchase Option Agreement
On
July 25, 2013, GEEI entered into a Stock Purchase Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Bezerius Holdings
Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus (“BHL”), whereby BHL granted to GEEI an
option to purchase 1,000 shares of equity capital of Synderal Services LTD, a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic
of Cyprus ("SSL"), representing all issued and outstanding shares of SSL, for $1,250,000. SSL is engaged in the gas
exploration and production business in Ukraine through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Limited Liability Company NPK-KONTAKT
and Limited Liability Company LISPROMGAZ, each a legal entity formed under the laws of Ukraine.
Under
the Option Agreement, GEEI was required to pay to BHL $412,500 as an advance payment to be credited towards the purchase price
of the SSL shares. The Company made the advance payment on July 25, 2013. The balance of the purchase price in the amount of $837,500
was paid by GEEI upon exercise of the option that was completed on November 25, 2013 by paying to BHL $500,000 in cash and issuing
a promissory note in the principal amount of $337,500 for the balance of the option exercise price. The note bears no interest
and has a maturity date of December 31, 2013, which was extended to June 30, 2014. The obligations of GEEI under the note are
secured by 1,000 shares of SSL purchased by GEEI under the Option Agreement in accordance with the Pledge and Security Agreement
dated November 25, 2013 made by GEEI in favor of the collateral agent acting on behalf of BHL. As a result, SSL became a direct
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Limited Liability Company NPK-KONTAKT and Limited Liability Company LISPROMGAZ became
indirect subsidiaries of the Company.
On
July 25, 2013, the Company issued 25,799,984 shares of Common Stock to BHL in connection with the option grant closing under the
Option Agreement. In connection with the issuance of 25,799,984 shares of Common Stock, BHL entered into a Stock Escrow Agreement
and a Lock-Up Agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the Stock Escrow Agreement, BHL delivered to the escrow agent the shares
of Common Stock issued to it to be held by the escrow agent pending the closing of the option exercise to purchase shares of SSL
by GEEI under the Option Agreement in which case such 25,799,984 shares of Common Stock will be released by the escrow agent to
BHL. The shares were released from escrow following the closing of the option exercise on November 25, 2013.
Under
the Lockup Agreement, BHL agreed not to offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase
any option or contract to sell, sell short, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose
of any shares of Common Stock, or enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers any economic consequences of ownership
of Common Stock until 12 months after the date therein.
On November
26, 2013, in accordance with the Option Agreement the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate
of Designations, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate”). Pursuant
to the Series A Certificate, there is one share of Series A Preferred Stock authorized. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock have
no dividend rights.
The holder
of the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to vote together with the holders of the Company’s common stock, with such holder
entitled to 30% of the total votes on all such matters, and the holders of Common Stock and any other shares entitled to vote
are entitled to their proportional share of the remaining 70% of the total votes based on their respective voting power. Each
share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock upon the earlier to occur
of (i) Twelve (12) months from July 25, 2013 or (ii) the Company closing financings with gross proceeds of at least $4,000,000
on a cumulative basis from July 25, 2013. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not redeemable and have no liquidation preference.
On November 26, 2013, the Company issued one share of Series A Preferred Stock to BHL.
Private
Placement of Common Stock
From July
2013 to February 2014, the Company entered into and consummated transactions pursuant to a series of the Subscription Agreements
(the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain accredited investors whereby the Company issued and sold to the investors
for $1.00 per share an aggregate of 1,490,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,490,000
(the “Private Placement”).
The Subscription
Agreements contain representations and warranties by the Company and the investors which are customary for transactions of this
type such as, with respect to the Company: organization, good standing and qualification to do business; capitalization; subsidiaries,
authorization and enforceability of the transaction and transaction documents; valid issuance of stock, consents being obtained
or not required to consummate the transaction; litigation; compliance with securities laws; and no brokers used, and with respect
to the investors: authorization, accredited investor status and investment intent.
Stock
Split
On
September 16, 2013, the Company effected a 56-for-1 forward stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
As a result of the forward split, 907,641 shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately before the forward split increased
automatically, and without any further action from the Company’s stockholders, to 50,827,896 shares of common stock. The
authorized number and par value of common stock were unchanged.

The
Company is engaged in the gas exploration and production business in Ukraine through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Limited
Liability Company NPK-KONTAKT and Limited Liability Company LISPROMGAZ. All of our properties are located in Ukraine and are owned
and operated through our subsidiaries. The head office of our Ukrainian subsidiaries is located in the city of Lisichansk, the
local center of the Lugansk Region in eastern Ukraine.
NPK-KONTAKT,
LLC holds the license for exploration and owns 6 wells (2 productive, 2 exploratory wells and 2 degassing wells), which were completed
during the years 2003-2004. Due to technical and geological reasons, the exploratory wells were suspended in 2005. Currently,
the Company is considering an overhaul and intensification of gas produced from these wells. The final assessment of the operational
and economic viability of the production from those wells is expected at the end of 2014.
LISPROMGAZ,
LLC is an operating company that holds all permits, controls technical and human resources and owns
two gas facilities with a monthly capacity of more than 350 million cubic feet (“MMcf”)
each. LISPROMGAS also owns 13.5 km of gas pipelines to its customers and office and storage premises located in Lisichansk.
We
currently operate two productive wells and the principal product we produce is natural gas. This product is not marketed to customers
without access to our proprietary pipeline facilities and can be sold only to a purchaser that has access to the pipeline facilities.
During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, 100% of the Company’s gas production was sold to one customer: Additional
Liability Company “Lisichansk Brewery”. Typically our natural gas is sold to this customer under contract at a negotiated
price based upon factors normally considered in the industry, such as distance from well to factory and natural gas commodity
prices.
Due
to the current low production volume and the limited ability to market gas produced by the Company, the Company had a limited
capacity to sell its gas at the current market rate. Thus, the average selling price for our gas in 2013 was $11.56 per thousand
cubic feet ("Mcf") (including 20% VAT) which is approximately 20% below the average market price. In future, as production
will be increased, the Company will have the ability to sell gas at the market rate without any discounts.
Moreover,
we anticipate further increases in natural gas commodity prices in Ukraine during years 2014-2015 because of a number of reasons.
First, as a consequence of the significant depreciation of the local currency (the “UAH”), on April 1, 2014 the National
Energy Regulation Commission of Ukraine announced an increase in gas prices by 30% in local currency which eliminated the effect
of the recent UAH’s depreciation against the USD, thus the price of gas in USD remains at the same level. The second reason
for price an increase is the reversal of the 32% discount on Russian gas for Ukraine which will also force the National Energy
Regulation Commission (State regulatory authority) to increase gas prices for all types of consumers including both retail and
industrial consumers.
Due
to unfavorable political and military situation, the Company has decided not to initiate a drilling program in 2014. Based on
the improved military situation because of the cease-fire agreed to by the Ukrainian and the separatist forces of Eastern Ukraine,
and that the Company’s licensed area is located on the territory under the control of public authorities and the Ukrainian
army, the Company began negotiations with the service (drilling) companies about potentially initiating drilling in the first
quarter of 2015 shallow wells. These wells will be drilled for the development of production of AMM.
We
believe that all the above factors will combine to favorably affect our financial position and financial results.
Recent
Developments
From
January 2014 we have started realizing our strategic plan of increasing production and developing our asset base by conducting
geological investigation. Our efforts are focused on performing further geological studies at our Northern and Southern Tomashevskiy
domes and determining the optimal placement for our three new production shallow wells of up to 800 m each. We intend to utilize
the expertise of third parties for our drilling programs; as such we will hold a tender among drilling and service companies with
a view to start drilling works in the second half of 2014. Additionally, we plan to put into operation two small degassing wells
by installing additional compressors and connecting them to the existing flare plant.
Our
Strategy
Our
business strategy is to create value for our shareholders by growing reserves and production volumes through exploring and developing
gas fields at moderate depth with reserves which have been discovered but undeveloped. Key elements of our business strategy include:
Focus
on developing our Lisichansk-Toskovskay area. We intend to continue to expand our asset base by drilling and completing wells
within our current lands of the Lisichansk-Toskovskay area. We will focus our efforts to determine the most optimal placement
of new wells that is required to realize the maximum resource potential of the existing area.
Evaluate
Strategic Acquisitions in Ukraine and Central & Eastern Europe (CEE). The Company considers Lisichansk-Toskovskay area
as a first stage and the base for further rapid expansion. We intend to identify early-entry exploration opportunities in Ukraine
and CEE and enhance the value of our resource potential either by winning greenfield licenses or investing in underperforming
assets that have high-potential drilling opportunities, such as our Lisichansk-Toskovskay area. Our goal is to expand the Company’s
area from 100 sq. miles up to 1,000 sq. miles.
Focus
on Acquisition and Exploration Activities. Our efforts are focused on uncovering undervalued investment opportunities
in the field of conventional and coal bed gas production, as well as improving our drilling techniques.
Leverage
capital and experience form North America. We typically seek to bring North American capital, know-how and technology to unconventional
projects in Ukraine and other CEE countries.
Intellectual
Property
The
Company does not own any intellectual property rights
Suppliers
No
drilling activities were conducted during the years 2012 and 2013. We currently operate two productive wells and the majority
of our purchasing is related to maintaining the current level of operations in our wells. Typically, we purchase fuel and energy
for our needs through short-term contracts with several suppliers at the regional level, including natural resource monopolies
in the utility sector. All materials, energy and utilities are available in the region as required, but pricing is subject to
state regulation and market fluctuations. We are an insignificant purchaser of basic materials and these type of expenses account
for approximately 12% of our total costs and other deductions.
Gas
Production
The
Company is engaged in the gas exploration and production business in Ukraine. We have in operation a complete set of facilities
and infrastructure necessary for gas processing and delivery to end use customers. Natural gas comes from one of our two productive
wells. Our two wells produce methane gas at a rate of approximately 80 Mcf per day. Average methane concentration is not
less than 90%. Gas collected from our wells is first transferred through a pipeline to one of our gas processing facilities where
the various unit processes are used in the processing of raw natural gas, such as gas pressure decrease, removal of water and
gas odorization. Gas processed by the processing units is the final product which is sold to our customers through the pipeline.
Competition
Presently,
state-owned companies account for roughly 90% of oil and gas production in Ukraine. However, the government of Ukraine makes efforts
to encourage private investors, including foreign investors, to increase their activities in the market and improve oil and gas
production. Private and foreign investors are increasingly seeking opportunities in the country and are being actively encouraged
to do so.
National
Joint-Stock Company Naftogaz of Ukraine is the major state energy company. Naftogaz of Ukraine is a vertically integrated oil
and gas company that explores and produces most of the oil and gas in the country. The company also manages the oil and gas pipeline
system, gas conversion, and the import and transit of gas and its distribution across Ukraine. Naftogaz of Ukraine’s oil
and gas production subsidiaries include Ukrgazvydobuvannya, Ukrnafta (42% held by private investors). However, Naftogaz of Ukraine
does not have enough finances for exploration. Instead, it signs contracts with private exploration and production companies.
Domestic
gas production has been growing since 2000 until 2013, mainly due to an increased output from private producers. These private
companies accounted for 11.5% of the total gas production in 2013. This is a significant increase since 2000, when private companies
accounted for only 3.3% of gas produced in Ukraine and 2.7% of oil production. In Ukraine, domestic production covers only 40%
of the country’s oil and gas consumption requirements.
The Ukrainian
government has recently been encouraging cooperation with foreign companies and investors. Due to the geological characteristics
of the Ukrainian hydrocarbon accumulations, Ukraine is in need of both financing and technologies in order to further develop
the sector. Naftogaz has entered into agreements with many foreign companies to enable an acceleration of hydrocarbon development
in Ukraine. Among the foreign companies active in Ukraine are Cub Energy, Serinus, JKX Oil & Gas plc, Regal Petroleum plc,
Cadogan Petroleum plc, Shell and Chevron. The Company’s assets are surrounded by large producing oil & gas fields located
in Myratovskoj Zone: Plast, Cub Energy, Geo Alliance.
We believe
we possess a range of competitive strengths and advantages in our operating segment. As of the date of this filing, we hold approximately
104,000 acres in the Dnieper-Donetsk Basin and possess certain production facilities and infrastructure. We expect that the results
of our active drilling program and drilling activity will significantly improve our competitive position in the region. The Dnieper-Donets
Basin, where our Lisichansk-Toskovskay field is located, is underexplored and presents an excellent opportunity for our Company
with respect to the acquisition of prospective natural gas properties and natural gas reserves.
Government
Regulation
The Ukrainian
government is making efforts to reform the oil and gas sector in an attempt to attract foreign investment. These efforts include
the new 2010 Law “On Basic Principles of the Natural Gas Market Functioning” that was formally approved by the European
Union (“EU”). This law significantly liberalizes the gas market and provides for the right to sell gas at an unregulated
price (if the state’s share in the company is less than 50%). In addition, in April 2012, the National Energy Regulation
Committee reformed the procedures of access to the Ukraine’s gas transport system. All market participants now have equal
rights of access to the gas transportation system and underground storage facilities.
The regulation
of hydrocarbons in Ukraine is administered by a number of governmental bodies.
● The
Cabinet of Ministers provides the general legal framework for hydrocarbons, sets hydrocarbon taxes and Product Sharing Agreement
(PSA) terms.
● Tariffs
are regulated by the National Energy Regulation Commission (NERC). It sets the boundary price for both industrial and residential
consumers and provides general supervision over the market.
● The
Ministry of Energy and Coal Industry of Ukraine is responsible for Ukraine’s energy strategy formation, as well as the commissioning
of the deposits into commercial production and approval of reserves estimations.
The
legislation “On Oil and Gas” and “The Code on Mineral Resources” are the two documents regulating the
issue of special permits for the use of mineral resources in oil and gas production. There are several types of special permits
for the use of oil and gas mineral resources:
● |
For
geological studies of oil and gas resources, including experimental programs; |
● |
For
geological studies of oil and gas resources, including experimental programs, with subsequent oil and gas production (pilot
production); |
● |
Oil
and gas production (commercial development). |
Special
permits for the use of mineral resources are granted via auction. If the applicant company has already done geological studies
at its own cost and proven to the State Commission on Mineral Resources that there are hydrocarbon reserves, this company earns
the right to obtain the special permit without the auction.
Permits
for geological studies are granted for five years and can be extended by another five years if this condition is stipulated in
the initial permit. Such an extension does not require an auction.
Before
the company can begin exploration work on a certain field, it must obtain a special permit from both the local authorities and
the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy.
Permits
for field exploration and other agreements contain the minimum work plan which the applicant company must fulfill within a certain
time period, including the following:
● Seismic
studies;
● Development
drilling;
● Full
repairs of the well;
● Reserve
assessment and other studies;
● Environmental
impact assessment.
The
Ministry of Environmental Protection may also attach other conditions to the use of mineral resources. Once the minimum work plan
is completed and results have been submitted to the State Commission on Mineral Resources, the license holder may apply to the
Ministry of Environmental Protection for a commercial development license.
This
application must include the results of the independent reserve assessment (according UA standards), information on the fulfillment
of responsibilities stipulated in the work program and a field development plan.
The
Ministry of Environmental Protection of Ukraine usually takes six to nine months to process a commercial development license.
During the transition period (up to 70 days) between the experimental program license and the commercial development license,
all field development must be suspended. A commercial development license is usually granted for 20 years, though this can vary
depending on the size of the field reserves. The experimental program license holder has a priority over other applicants for
the commercial development license. Before the company can start oil and gas production, they need to obtain a commercial development
license.
At
the present time, the Company possesses a special permit for geological investigation including the experimental-industrial production.
The special permit retained by the Company covers both the present production from its two wells and future drillings of new wells
in accordance with the planned drilling program and within the licensed area under the special permit. Initially, this license
was given in 2003 based on the fact that Ukrainian company (NPK-Kontakt) held geological investigations at this area earlier till
2003. During 2003-2013, the Company renewed and extended this license twice, in 2008 and 2013, according to the above mentioned
procedure and Ukrainian legislation.
According
to Ukrainian legislation, the Company signed the agreement about the conditions of usage of subsoil for geological investigations
and experimental-industrial development of hydrocarbons with the State service of geology and subsoil of Ukraine, together with
prolongation of the special permit. In Appendix 1 to this agreement the following schedule of works was agreed:

The
production, transportation and use of Coal Bed Methane (“CBM”) is governed by the Law of Ukraine on Coal Deposit Gas
(Methane), as part of energy sector reforms aimed at diversifying Ukraine’s gas supply and increase the safety of working
conditions in coal mines. The Law on Coal Deposit Gas (Methane) was passed in 2010 and ratified in 2011.
The
domestic gas price within Ukraine is set by the National Commission exercising the State Regulation in Energy Sector by reference
to the Russian imported gas price. Natural gas average prices for industrial customers in Ukraine have decreased in 2013 compared
to 2012 to Ukraine Hryvnia ("UAH") 3,459/Mcm ($12.25/Mcf) from UAH 3,509/Mcm ($ 12.43/Mcf). (All prices are quoted without
20% value added tax). As Ukraine relies to a significant extent on supplies of energy resources from Russia, the domestic industrial
gas price in Ukraine exhibits a strong correlation to the Russian gas import price. This import price, and consequently the prices
which may be charged by producers in Ukraine to their industrial customers, is determined based on annual negotiations between
the governments of Ukraine and Russia. Subsoil fees (effectively government royalties) are set by the Tax Code at 25% of sales
revenues from gas (excluded VAT).
Employees
As
of the date of this filing, the Company and its subsidiaries had 42 employees. The Company utilizes the services of consultants
and advisors. These include its principal executive officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer, scientific personnel,
investor relations, accountants, and attorneys. Some of these positions, especially those of a technical nature, may be converted
to employment if and when the Company's business requires and resources permit.
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS
Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public
companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with
the auditor attestation requirements of section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and exemptions from the requirements of Sections
14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to hold a nonbinding advisory vote of shareholders on executive compensation
and any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
The
Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section
102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different
effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election,
our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We
will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which our
revenues exceed $1 billion, (2) the date on which we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period,
(3) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities
pursuant to an effective registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (4) when the market
value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently
completed second fiscal quarter.
To
the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company”, as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available
to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including: (1) not being
required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act; (2) scaled executive
compensation disclosures; and (3) the requirement to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three
years.
ITEM
2. PROPERTIES
According
to Ukrainian law, a special permit (license) is issued and granted to authorize exploration and extraction of natural resources
within the licensed area. In most cases the production company obtains leases on all land lots within the licensed area which
it uses for its production needs, such as drilling, wellhead set up, production facilities and infrastructure development. As
of the date of this filing, we had 11 land leases covering approximately 6.45 gross acres held under our wells, gas treatment
units, office and auxiliary buildings with an aggregate annual rent accounting for approximately $10,600, as summarized in the

The
Company is focused on growing gas production volumes in Ukraine through expanding its assets base by exploring and developing
its existing license field, as well as through evaluating and pursuing new investment opportunities. The Company’s management
anticipates that in addition to the existing assets which will continue to provide ongoing revenues from our productive gas wells,
the Company's surface and sub-surface facility optimization, expected new drilling activities and discovery of new resources
will contribute to increased production volumes.
Plan
of Operations
Since
2004, the Company explored and developed the shallow gas-bearing horizons only at two of seven domes within the license area;
we currently operate only two productive wells. Thus, we believe that the Company has unrealized opportunity and can create the
base for further expansion. We have developed a production increase plan for years 2014-2018, key elements of this plan include:
Increase
production within overthrust /belowthrust domes. We plan to enhance our gas production volumes on Northern Tomashevskoye
and Southern Tomashevskoye domes through fracking and stimulation on our existing two exploratory, but currently suspended wells.
Our 2014-2018 drilling program also includes drilling three new “shallow” and four new “deep” operated
wells on Northern Tomashevskoye and Southern Tomashevskoye domes with implementation of fracking and stimulation technology to
enhance initial production. In addition we plan to drill nine new “deep” exploratory wells on Zolotarivska, Toshkievskaya
and Petrograd-Donetsk domes with fracking and stimulation.
Starting
of AMM production. We intend to start production of abandoned mine methane (AMM), by modernizing degasification
equipment and connecting our current two degassing wells with existing delivery infrastructure. In addition, we intend significantly
enhance our CBM production by drilling on the developed domes numerous new shallow vent-wells up to 500m each.
Conduct
further geological research within our Lisichansk-Toskovskay area. We intend to obtain new geological information for
potential additional under-fault gas resources by reworking and deepening the 7K well up to 1,500m (under the fault) or drilling
a new well up to 1,500m. We will also focus our efforts to carry out modern geological studies on the entire license area through
2D and 3D seismic as well as modern helium survey. As a result, we expect to compile a geophysical database and obtain geological
proofs to update our reserves valuation.
Our 2014-2018
strategic and operational plan is subject to various factors, including market conditions, gas field services and equipment availability,
commodity prices and drilling results. While we continue to explore opportunities to enhance our gas production volumes, our main
efforts will be focused on drilling and completing wells. If we choose to pursue the rapid expansion strategy, we will contemplate
obtaining greenfield licenses directly from government authorities and acquire underperforming existing operators that have room
to grow.
Due
to unfavorable political and military situation, the Company has decided not to initiate a drilling program in 2014. Based on
the improved military situation because of the cease-fire agreed to by the Ukrainian and the separatist forces of Eastern Ukraine,
and that the Company’s licensed area is located on the territory under the control of public authorities and the Ukrainian
army, the Company began negotiations with the service (drilling) companies about potentially initiating drilling in the first
quarter of 2015 shallow wells. These wells will be drilled for the development of production of AMM.

Natural
gas sales revenues. Natural gas sales volumes decreased by 2.5 MMcf to 28.5 MMcf for the year ended December 31, 2013. Natural
gas revenues increased by $21.62 thousand to $274.44 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to natural gas
revenues of $252.82 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in natural gas sales revenue was attributed to
the increase in natural gas prices received. The average price we realized on the sale of our natural gas was $9.63 per thousand
cubic feet ("Mcf") in 2013 compared to $8.15 per Mcf in 2012. In 2013, our natural gas sales averaged 79.17 Mcf per
day. The volume decrease is due to the natural depletion of our two productive wells.

Other
revenues and other sales. Our other sales mainly included revenues using the Company-owned transportable machinery and equipment,
such as a cementing unit, compressor unit and pump set to render services to third parties. Other revenues increased by $3.60
thousand to $53.67 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2013. Other income of $20.51 thousand in 2013 included interest income
of approximately $ 19.83 thousand earned on bank deposits.
Operating
and maintenance expenses. Our operating and maintenance expenses of $249.75 thousand mainly included wages and salaries of
the gas production personnel, cost of materials, taxes and duties. Operating and maintenance expenses increased by $34.31 thousand
in 2013 compared to 2012 mainly due to increases in material expenses.
General
and administrative (“G&A”) expenses. G&A expenses decreased by $22.28 thousand to $196.68 thousand for
the year ended December 31, 2013, from $174.39 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012. On a per unit basis, G&A expenses
increased from $5.62 per Mcf sold in 2012 to $6.90 per Mcf sold in 2013.
Depreciation,
depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) expenses. Our DD&A expense decreased $0.83 thousand to $107.81 thousand
for the year ended December 31, 2013, from $108.64 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Professional
fees. Professional fee expenses of approximately $3.75 million in 2013 included accounting, legal fees and consulting expenses
related to the preparation, execution and consummation of a series of transactions we entered during year 2013 pursuant to a Share
Exchange Agreement, Stock Purchase Option Agreement and Private Placement of Common Stock. See Item 1 of this report.
Loss
from operations. Our operating loss was approximately $3.96 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to the
operating loss of approximately $153.95 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012. This increase in operating loss is primarily
attributed to professional fees expenses, and to a lesser extent, to increase in other operating expenses. Excluding the impacts
of professional fees, our operating result decreased $52.58 thousand to $206.53 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2013,
from $153.95 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Income
from sale of ERUs. Due to coal mine methane exploration, the Company generates greenhouse gas Emission Reduction Units (ERUs),
which could be sold according to the procedure established by the Kyoto Protocol. In 2012 the Company verified 215 thousand tons
of ERUs CO2 equivalents and sold it to Carbon Resource Management S.A. for $215.89 thousand (€175.69 thousand).
Net
loss. Our net loss was approximately $3.96 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to net income of $26.16
thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily the result of an increase in operating loss for the
year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to 2012, and to a lesser extent, to a negative result of non-operating activities in
2013.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Our primary
sources of cash in 2013 were proceeds from equity investors of $1,185.4 thousand as a result of the private placement of common
stocks.
The following
is a summary of our change in cash and cash equivalents for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

Operating
activities.
During
the year ended December 31, 2013 cash used in operating activities was $241.35 thousand as compared to cash provided by operating
activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 in the amount of $153.03 thousand. The increase of cash used in operating
activities was primarily due to higher professional fee expenditures of $3.75 million related to the preparation, execution and
consummation of a series of transactions we entered during the year 2013 and described in details in Item 1. See “Results
of Operations for the Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012” for a review of the impact of professional fees on
our operating results. The Company issued 3,777,984 shares of common stock which were used to pay consultants for services of
$3.78 million and partially offset higher professional fee expenses during 2013.
Investing
activities.
During
the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, our net cash used in by investing activities was $409.83 thousand and net cash provided
by investing activities of $194.59 thousand, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributed to deposits for investments offset
by the proceeds from the payment of a note held by the Company and withdrawal of a bank deposit. Cash provided by the investing
activities was provided in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Option Agreement
and the purchase of SSL by the Company.
Financing
activities.
During
the year ended December 31, 2013 cash provided by financing activities was $551.93 thousand as compared to cash used in financing
activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 in the amount of $194.80 thousand. The increase was primarily due to
the increase in proceeds received from our sales of our common stock issued for cash and advance subscriptions for our common
stock received from investors.
Our 2014 drilling
program is designed to provide flexibility in identifying suitable well locations and in the timing and size of capital investment.
Our 2014 capital expenditure budget contemplates drilling of 2 shallow productive wells on Northern Tomashevskoye and Southern
Tomashevskoye domes, modernizing degasification equipment and connecting our current two degassing wells with existing delivery
infrastructure. Additionally in 2014, we intend to enhance our gas production through fracking and stimulation on our existing
two exploratory, but currently suspended wells. Our capital expenditure budget is estimated approximately $5.00 million in 2014
and is dependent on various factors, including market conditions, services and equipment availability, gas price and drilling
results. Other factors that could cause us to further adjust our capital expenditure budget include, among other things, increases
or decreases in service and material costs, changes in commodity prices or well performance that differ from our forecasts, any
of which could affect our operating cash flow.
We
plan to finance our 2014 capital expenditure budget primarily through the issuance of equity and, to a lesser extent, cash flows
from operations, as discussed in more detail below:
Sources
of Capital
Issuance
of equity. As of the date of this filing, in order to support our capital and exploration expenditures we plan to raise equity
capital from investors of approximately $4.0 million in 2014. We will continue to assess our liquidity position and conditions
on the capital markets and may increase or decrease our financing activities in 2014 accordingly.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Going
concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred $2,804,286 in accumulated
deficit since its inception, is in the development stage and has generated $348,611 operating revenue during the year ended December
31, 2013. These items raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In
view of these matters, realization of the assets of the Company is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial
requirements through equity financing and the success of future operations. These financial statements do not include adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
Management
believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan and acquire an operating company with positive
cash flow. Management intends to seek new capital from owners and related parties to provide needed funds.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons,
also known as "special purpose entities" (SPEs).

Company's consolidated audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, together with the report
of the independent certified public accounting firm thereon and the notes thereto, are presented beginning at page F-1.
ITEM
9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
We
changed our independent registered public accounting firm effective October 3, 2013 from Weinberg & Baer LLC (“WB”)
to Anton & Chia LLP. Information regarding the change in the independent registered public accounting firm was disclosed in
our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 8, 2013. There were no disagreements with WB or any reportable events
requiring disclosure under Item 304(b) of Regulation S-K.
ITEM
9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
The
Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean controls and other
procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or
submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files
or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including
its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure
that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required
to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions
regarding disclosure.
As
of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
(iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Management
assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report.
In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we determined that, as of the end of the period covered
by this report, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on those criteria.
During
our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report,
management identified the following material weaknesses:
1. |
Internal
Audit Function – We have insufficient qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly. In addition,
the scope and effectiveness of the internal audit function are in the process of being developed. |
|
|
2. |
Review
of Financial Information and Financial Reporting – We do not have adequate levels of review of financial information
necessary to ascertain the accounting for complex transactions. |
|
|
3. |
Lack
of Segregation of Duties – We do not have segregation of duties between recording, authorizing and testing. |
Remediation
Initiative
We
are developing a plan to ensure that all information will be recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately, and as of
the date of this report, we have taken the following steps to address the above-referenced material weakness in our internal control
over financial reporting:
1. |
We
will continue to educate our management personnel to increase its ability to comply with the disclosure requirements and financial
reporting controls; and |
|
|
2. |
We
will increase management oversight of accounting and reporting functions in the future; and |
|
|
3. |
As
soon as we can raise sufficient capital or our operations generate sufficient cash flow, we will hire additional personnel
to handle our accounting and reporting functions. |
While
the first two steps of our remediation process are ongoing, we do not expect to remediate the weaknesses in our internal controls
over financial reporting until the time when we start to commercialize our products (and, therefore, may have sufficient cash
flow for hiring sufficient personnel to handle our accounting and reporting functions).
A
material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual
or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency,
or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet
important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm because
as a smaller reporting company we are not subject to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
No
change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.
The following
table sets forth certain information as of March 28, 2014 concerning our directors and executive officers. Some of our officers
and directors reside outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process
within the United States upon them or to enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against them.

Timur
Khromaev, age 38, is an advisor at ARTA, a leading Ukrainian investment company where until September 2013 he managed investment
banking, corporate finance, brokerage and asset management departments. Prior to co-founding ARTA in 2002, Mr. Khromaev was a
Deputy Chairman of the Board at Closed Corporation “TAS-Invest Bank” where he supervised the Investment Banking and
Corporate Finance Departments. Before joining “TAS-Invest Bank”, Mr. Khromaev served as the Deputy Chairman of the
Board at another Ukrainian bank – Closed Corporation “NRB-Ukraine”, where he was responsible for management
of the bank’s Treasury and the Corporate Finance Department. From 1997 till 2001 Mr. Khromaev held top ranking positions
at the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine including the post of the Head of Capital Markets Development Department. His scope of activity
included the implementation of the state debt policy in the domestic and foreign capital markets, optimization of the state commercial
debt structure, coordination of the Ministry’s co-operation with the National Bank of Ukraine and the State Treasury, as
well as elaboration of the legislative acts related to the state commercial debts. Mr. Khromaev obtained a B.A. degree in Economics
from Union College, New York, USA in 1997, and Master's degree in International Law from Institute of International Relations,
Kiev National Taras Shevchenko University. He also completed training in International Law at Cambridge University (1995). We
believe that Mr. Khromaev’s qualifications and business experience with the companies operating in Ukraine make him uniquely
qualified to sit on our board of directors.
Michael
Doron , age 52, is an accomplished corporate leader with executive level experience in the financing of small to mid-cap
private and public companies. Currently based in Stockholm, Sweden, he has been the Managing Director of Alta Nordic, a boutique
consulting company, since October 2013. From 2009 to April 2013, Mr. Doron was the Managing Partner at DDR & Associates, a
business development firm specializing in pre-IPO companies. Previously Mr. Doron was Co-Founder and a Partner in Evolution Capital,
a private firm working in conjunction with DDR, and specializing in providing capital to publicly held companies using various
debt instruments. He serves on the Board of Directors of MusclePharm Corp (NASDAQ: MSLP) and Next Graphite, Inc. (OTCBB: GPNE).
We believe that Mr. Doron’s qualifications and his extensive experience with emerging public companies provide a unique
perspective for our board.
Herve
Collet , age 66, has worked as a consulting petroleum engineer on various projects in the U.S., Ukraine, Canada, Russia
and France since 2010. Since 2012, he has been the Consulting Operation Engineer for European Gas Limited whose project is located
in France. From 2010 through 2012, Mr. Collet was a Consulting Petroleum Engineer at Kulczyk Oil and Gas located in Canada, U.S.
Ukraine and Russia. From 2005 to 2010, he was the Vice President of Operations at PanTerra Resource Corp. in Canada. From 2004
to 2005, Mr. Collet was the General Manager of Canoro Resources Ltd. Delhi India in India. Prior to that, he worked in various
capacities including senior drilling engineer, general manager, project manager and deputy director general on oil and gas projects
worldwide, including countries of the former Soviet Union, Latin America, North Africa, Canada and Western Europe. Mr. Collet
started his career in the industry in 1974. Mr. Collet obtained an AB degree in Geology from the University of Calgary, Calgary,
Canada, and an AB degree in Engineering from the Mount Royal College, Calgary, Canada.
All of
our officers and directors spend 30% to 50% of their professional time on the Company’s operation. In the future when the
Company commences drilling, however, more of their time will be devoted.
Our
directors hold their positions on the board until our next annual meeting of the shareholders, and until their successors have
been qualified after being elected or appointed. Officers serve at the discretion of the board of directors.
There
are no family relationships among our directors and executive officers. There is no arrangement or understanding between or among
our executive officers and directors pursuant to which any director or officer was or is to be selected as a director or officer,
and there is no arrangement, plan or understanding as to whether non-management shareholders will exercise their voting rights
to continue to elect the current board of directors.
Our
directors and executive officers have not, during the past ten years:
|
● |
had
any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which was a general partner or executive officer, either at the
time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time, |
|
|
|
|
● |
been
convicted in a criminal proceeding and is not subject to a pending criminal proceeding, |
|
|
|
|
● |
been
subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction,
permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities,
futures, commodities or banking activities; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
been
found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed,
suspended or vacate |
Board
Committees
We
currently do not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees. Currently, our entire board of directors is responsible
for the functions that would otherwise be handled by these committees. We intend, however, to establish an audit committee, a
nominating committee and a compensation committee of the board of directors as soon as practicable. We envision that the audit
committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing the services performed by our independent auditors, evaluating our accounting
policies and our system of internal controls. The nominating committee would be primarily responsible for nominating directors
and setting policies and procedures for the nomination of directors. The nominating committee would also be responsible for overseeing
the creation and implementation of our corporate governance policies and procedures. The compensation committee will be primarily
responsible for reviewing and approving our salary and benefit policies (including stock options), including compensation of executive
officers.
Audit
Committee Financial Expert
The
Board of Directors does not currently have Audit Committee financial expert, as defined under Item 407(d)(5)(i) of Regulation
S-K.
Code
of Ethics
We
do not have a code of ethics but intend to adopt one in the near future.
Board
Leadership Structure
Timur
Khromaev is our Chief Executive Officer. Michael Doron is the Chairman of our Board of Directors. We believe a board leadership
structure involving one person serving as chairman and another as chief executive officer is best for our company and our stockholders.
Further, we believe this separation improves the Board’s oversight of management, provides greater accountability of management
to stockholders, and allows the chief executive officer to focus on managing our business operations, while allowing the chairman
to focus on more effectively leading the Board and overseeing our general strategic direction and extraordinary transactions.
Potential
Conflict of Interest
Since
we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent Directors, the functions that would have been performed
by such committees are performed by our Board of Directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our Directors
have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, in essence their own, and audit issues that may affect
management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executives or Directors.
Board’s
Role in Risk Oversight
The
Board assesses on an ongoing basis the risks faced by the Company. These risks include financial, technological, competitive,
and operational risks. The Board dedicates time at each of its meetings to review and consider the relevant risks faced by the
Company at that time. In addition, since the Company does not have an Audit Committee, the Board is also responsible for the assessment
and oversight of the Company’s financial risk exposures.

13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Transactions
with related persons
On
November 14, 2011, we issued a total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock to Mr. David Schwartz, the then Company’s sole
Officer and Director, for total cash consideration of $30,000 which was received in January 2012.
On
June 1, 2013, Mr. Schwartz and GEEI entered into an Affiliate Stock Purchase Agreement, which was amended on July 15, 2013, pursuant
to which on July 25, 2013 Mr. Schwartz sold to GEEI 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock representing approximately
89.3% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
On
July 25, 2013, GEEI entered into the Option Agreement with BHL, whereby GEEI purchase from BHL 1,000 shares of equity capital
of SSL, representing all issued and outstanding shares of SSL, for $1,250,000. GEEI paid to BHL $912,500 towards the purchase
price of the SSL shares in cash and issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $337,500 for the balance of the option
exercise price. The note bears no interest and has a maturity date of December 31, 2013, which was extended to June 30, 2014.
The obligations of GEEI under the note are secured by 1,000 shares of SSL purchased by GEEI under the Option Agreement in accordance
with the Pledge and Security Agreement dated November 25, 2013 made by GEEI in favor of the collateral agent acting on behalf
of BHL.
On
July 25, 2013, the Company issued 25,799,984 shares of its common stock to BHL in connection with the option grant under the Option
Agreement. GEEI cancelled 3,000,000 shares of common stock acquired from Mr. Schwartz effective immediately after the issuance
of such shares to BHL.
Under
a Participating Agent Agreement dated as October 1, 2013 by and between BHL and the Company’s placement agent, BHL is entitled
to receive from the placement agent a cash compensation of 5% of the investment amounts subscribed for and warrants to purchase
5% of the Company securities purchased by investors introduced by BHL. As of the date of this report, BHL has not received any
such compensation.
Other
than the above transactions or as otherwise set forth in this report or in any reports filed by the Company with the SEC, there
have been no related party transactions, or any other transactions or relationships required to be disclosed pursuant to Item
404 of Regulation S-K. The Company is currently not a subsidiary of any company.
The
Company’s Board conducts an appropriate review of and oversees all related party transactions on a continuing basis and
reviews potential conflict of interest situations where appropriate. The Board has not adopted formal standards to apply when
it reviews, approves or ratifies any related party transaction. However, the Board believes that the related party transactions
are fair and reasonable to the Company and on terms comparable to those reasonably expected to be agreed to with independent third
parties for the same goods and/or services at the time they are authorized by the Board.
Director
Independence
We
are not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange and, as a result, we are not at this time required
to have our board comprised of a majority of “independent Directors.” We do not believe that any of our directors
currently meets the definition of “independent” as promulgated by the rules and regulations of NASDAQ.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Great East Energy, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet of Great East Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements of comprehensive
income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audit. The combined financial statements of the predecessor companies to the Company (Synderal Services
Ltd., NPK-Kontakt LLC and Lispromgaz LLC – collectively, the “Group”) as of December 31, 2012 and for the year
then ended were audited by other auditors, whose report dated September 27, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on those combined
financial statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance
with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company
was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
2013, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company incurred a 2013 net loss of $3,959,728, which resulted in an accumulated deficit $2,804,286
as of December 31, 2013. Further, the Company’s operating activities are based in the Ukraine, which is undergoing significant
political unrest as discussed in Note 14. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 15, which includes
the raising of additional equity financing. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GREAT EAST ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2013
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Great East Energy, Inc. (the “Company”)
was incorporated under the name Epsilon Corp. in Delaware on October 17, 2011. The Company's current business plan is acquisition
and development of natural gas properties located in Ukraine.
On July 25, 2013, the Company consummated
transactions pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) dated July 25, 2013 by and among
the Company and the stockholders of Great East Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“GEEI”), (the “GEEI Stockholders”)
whereby GEEI Stockholders transferred 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of GEEI held by them, in exchange for an aggregate
of 330,008 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”). As
a result, GEEI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
On July 25, 2013, GEEI entered into
a Stock Purchase Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Bezerius Holdings Limited, a corporation organized
under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus (“BHL”), whereby BHL granted to GEEI an option to purchase 1,000 shares of
equity capital of Synderal Services LTD, a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus ("SSL"), representing
all issued and outstanding shares of SSL, for $1,250,000. SSL is engaged in the gas exploration and production business in Ukraine
through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Limited Liability Company NPK-KONTAKT and Limited Liability Company LISPROMGAZ, each
a legal entity formed under the laws of Ukraine.
Under the Option Agreement, GEEI was
required to pay to BHL $412,500 as an advance payment to be credited towards the purchase price of the SSL shares. The Company
made the advance payment on July 25, 2013. The balance of the purchase price in the amount of $837,500 was paid by GEEI upon exercise
of the option that was completed on November 25, 2013 by paying to BHL $500,000 in cash and issuing a promissory note in the principal
amount of $337,500 for the balance of the option exercise price. The note bears no interest and has a maturity date of December
31, 2013, which was extended to March 31, 2013. The obligations of GEEI under the note are secured by 1,000 shares of SSL purchased
by GEEI under the Option Agreement in accordance with the Pledge and Security Agreement dated November 25, 2013 made by GEEI in
favor of the collateral agent acting on behalf of BHL. As a result, SSL, Limited Liability Company NPK-KONTAKT and Limited Liability
Company LISPROMGAZ became indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
AND COMBINATION
The Group’s entities maintain
accounting books and records in local currencies of their domicile in accordance with the requirements of respective accounting
and tax legislations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in order to present the Group's financial
position and its results of operations and cash flows in accordance with US GAAP and are expressed in terms of US Dollars ($),
unless otherwise stated.
The consolidated financial statements
are based upon the historical financial statements of the Company, Synderal Services LTD, NPK-Kontakt LLC and Lispromgas LLC and
certain adjustments that rely on preliminary estimates and certain assumptions which the Company believes are reasonable under
the circumstances.
The adjustments made in preparing the
interim consolidated financial statements are as follows:
- elimination of intra-entity transactions
between Great East Energy, Inc. and Synderal Services LTD;
- elimination of intra-entity transactions
between NPK-Kontakt LLC and Lispromgaz LLC;
- elimination of intra-entity balances
between NPK-Kontakt LLC and Lispromgaz LLC;
- elimination of share capital of NPK-Kontakt
LLC and Lispromgaz LLC and representation of payables for acquisition of subsidiaries incurred in connection with acquisition of
NPK-Kontakt LLC and Lispromgaz LLC in March 2013.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Although the Company uses its best estimates and judgments,
actual results could differ from these estimates as future confirming events occur.
Reporting and functional currency
The Company’s functional and Group’s
reporting currency is the US dollar ("USD").
The national currency of Ukraine, Ukrainian
Hryvnia (“UAH”) is the functional currency for the Group’s entities that operate in Ukraine. Monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the US dollar have been translated into the US dollar at the rate prevailing
at each balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than the US dollar have been translated into
US dollars at historical rates. Non US dollar revenues, expenses and cash flows have been translated into US dollars at rates which
approximate actual rates at the date of the transaction. Translation differences resulting from the use of these rates are included
in the statement of income.
The cumulative translation effects for
those entities using functional currencies other than the US dollar are included in “Foreign currency translation adjustment”
on the statement of equity.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition
Revenues from the sale of natural gas
are recognized when title passes to customers, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists and the sale price is fixed or determinable.
Cash
Cash consists principally of currency
on hand, demand deposits at commercial banks, and liquid investment funds having an original maturity of three months or less at
the time of purchase.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower
of current market value or cost. The cost of inventories is based on the FIFO method and includes expenditures and other charges
directly and indirectly incurred in bringing the inventory to its existing condition and location. Inventories are made up of pipe
and other material used to extract gas.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at
their transaction amounts less allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded to the extent that
there is a likelihood that any of the amounts due will not be obtained. The allowance is based on historical experience, current
and expected economic trends and specific information about customer accounts. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues
and expenses during those reporting periods.
Property, plant and equipment
Depreciation, depletion and amortization,
based on cost less estimated salvage value of the asset, are primarily determined under either the unit-of-production method or
the straight-line method, which is based on estimated asset service life taking obsolescence into consideration. Maintenance and
repairs, including planned major maintenance, are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and the
assets replaced are retired.
Production costs are expensed as incurred.
Production involves lifting the gas to the surface and gathering, treating, field processing and field storage of the gas. Production
costs are those incurred to operate and maintain wells and related equipment and facilities. These costs become part of the cost
of gas produced.
Interest costs incurred to finance expenditures
during the construction phase of multiyear projects are capitalized as part of the historical cost of acquiring the constructed
assets. The project construction phase commences with the development of the detailed engineering design and ends when the constructed
assets are ready for their intended use.
Gas properties (wells) are accounted
for using the successful efforts method of accounting whereby property acquisitions, successful exploratory wells, development
costs, and support equipment and facilities are capitalized and depleted using the unit-of-production method. Unsuccessful exploratory
wells are expensed when a well is determined to be non-productive. Other exploratory expenditures, including geological and geophysical
cost are expensed as incurred.
The Group capitalizes costs related
to exploratory wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic wells for more than one year if the well has found a sufficient quantity
of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and the company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves
and the economic and operating viability of the project. If these conditions are not met or if information that raises substantial
doubt about the economic or operational viability of the project is obtained, the well would be assumed impaired, and its cost,
net of any salvage value, would be charged to operating expenses.
The capitalized costs of all other plant
and equipment are depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis.
Long-lived assets, including gas properties,
are assessed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
group may not be recoverable. Such events include write-downs of proved reserves based on field performance, significant decreases
in the market value of an asset, significant change in the extent or manner of use of or a physical change in an asset, and a more-likely-than-not
expectation that a long-lived asset or asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly sooner than the end of its
previously estimated useful life. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of their carrying amount
with their estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. Impaired assets are written down to
their estimated fair values, generally their discounted, future net before-tax cash flows.
Asset retirement obligation and
environmental liabilities
The Group incurs asset retirement obligations
for certain assets. These obligations may include the costs of asset disposal and additional soil remediation. The fair value of
a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recorded as a liability when there is a legal obligation associated with the
retirement of a long-lived asset and the amount can be reasonably estimated. In the estimation of fair value, the Group uses assumptions
and judgments regarding such factors as the existence of a legal obligation for an asset retirement obligation; technical assessments
of the assets; estimated amounts and timing of settlements; discount rates; and inflation rates. The costs associated with these
liabilities are capitalized as part of the related assets and depreciated. Over time, the liabilities are accreted for the change
in their present value.
Liabilities for environmental costs
are recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Environmental
expenditures that relate to ongoing operations or to conditions caused by past operations are expensed. Expenditures that create
future benefits or contribute to future revenue generation are capitalized.
The gross amount of environmental liabilities
is based on the company’s best estimate of future costs using currently available technology. Future amounts are not discounted.
Start-up Costs
In accordance with ASC 720, “Start-up Activities,”
the Company expenses all costs incurred in connection with the start-up and organization of the Company.
Common Stock Issued For Other
Than Cash Proceeds
Services purchased and other transactions
settled in the Company's common stock are recorded at the estimated fair value of the common stock issued if that value is more
readily determinable than the fair value of the consideration received.
Income taxes
Income taxes represent amounts paid
or estimated to be payable, net of amounts refunded or estimated to be refunded, for the current year and the change in deferred
taxes, exclusive of amounts recorded in other comprehensive income.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities
are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are recognized
using enacted tax rates for the effect of such temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance
if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
In accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, the Group utilizes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement. The recognition threshold requires the Group to determine whether
it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals
or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position in order to record any financial statement benefit. If it
is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained, then the Group must measure the tax position to determine the amount
of benefit to recognize in financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater
than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Group recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized
tax benefits in income tax expense.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the
Company had 51,177,896 and 188,160,000 shares issued and outstanding, respectively. The Company had 144,000 potentially dilutive
securities, related to warrants in 2013, currently issued and outstanding.
Significant Concentrations
There is currently one customer that
makes up 100% of total gas revenue as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The loss of this customer would have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operation
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards
Based on our review of recently enacted
accounting standards, the Company believes that none of them are expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 4 – INCOME FROM SALE OF
EMISSION REDUCTION UNITS
Due to coal mine methane exploration,
the Group generates greenhouse gas Emission Reduction Units (ERUs), which could be sold according to the procedure established
by Kyoto Protocol.
In 2012 the Group verified 215 thousand
tons of ERUs CO2 equivalent and sold it in July to Carbon Resource Management S.A. for €175,688, (U.S. $215,884); which have
been recorded as other income in the year ended December 31, 2012.

and $4,054, respectively. Under current Cyprus legislation, tax losses may be carried forward and be offset against taxable income
of the five succeeding years. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over
the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management does not expect that deferred assets for operating
loss carry-forwards will be realised.
The valuation allowance relates to deferred tax assets for
operating loss carry-forwards and reduces the deferred tax assets to amounts that are, in management’s assessment, more likely
than not to be realized.

On July 25, 2013, GEEI entered into
the Option Agreement with BHL, whereby BHL granted to GEEI an option to purchase 1,000 shares of equity capital of SSL, representing
all issued and outstanding shares of SSL, for $1,250,000.
Under the Option Agreement, GEEI was
required to pay to BHL $412,500 as an advance payment to be credited towards the purchase price of the SSL shares. The Company
made the advance payment on July 25, 2013. The balance of the purchase price in the amount of $837,500 was paid by GEEI upon exercise
of the option that was completed on November 25, 2013 by paying to BHL $500,000 in cash and issuing a promissory note in the principal
amount of $337,500 for the balance of the option exercise price. The note bears no interest and has a maturity date of December
31, 2013, which was extended to June 30, 2014. The obligations of GEEI under the note are secured by 1,000 shares of SSL purchased
by GEEI under the Option Agreement in accordance with the Pledge and Security Agreement dated November 25, 2013 made by GEEI in
favor of the collateral agent acting on behalf of BHL.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company

NOTE 13 – FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Transactions involving the Company's
two natural gas companies in the Ukraine, are denominated in Ukrainian Hryvnia, although none has occurred as of December 31, 2013.
Assets and liabilities denominated in Ukrainian Hryvnia will be revalued to the United States dollar equivalent in the future.
The effect of change in exchange rates from the transaction dates to the reporting date, for assets and liabilities, is reported
as a Cumulative Currency Translation Adjustment and included in Other Comprehensive Gains or (Losses). As of December 31, 2013
and 2012, the Company had $501 and $503 in foreign currency translation, respectively.
NOTE 14 – SUPPLEMENTAL
INFORMATION ON OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION, DEVELOPMENT, AND PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES
The Company’s oil and gas
properties and proved reserves are located in the Ukraine.
As discussed in Note 1, on July
25, 2013, the Company entered into an Option Agreement with Bezerius Holdings Limited (or BHL), a corporation organized under
the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, whereby BHL granted the Company an option to purchase 1,000 shares of equity capital of Synderal
Services LTD (or SSL), a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, representing all issued and outstanding
shares of SSL, for $1,250,000. SSL is engaged in the gas exploration and production business in Ukraine through its two wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Limited Liability Company NPK-KONTAKT and Limited Liability Company LISPROMGAZ, each a legal entity formed under
the laws of Ukraine.
Under the Option Agreement, the
Company was required to pay to BHL $412,500 as an advance payment to be credited towards the purchase price of the SSL shares.
The Company made the advance payment on July 25, 2013. The balance of the purchase price in the amount of $837,500 was paid by
the Company upon exercise of the option that was completed on November 25, 2013 by paying to BHL $500,000 in cash and issuing
a promissory note in the principal amount of $337,500 for the balance of the option exercise price. The obligations of the Company
under the note are secured by 1,000 shares of SSL purchased by the Company under the Option Agreement in accordance with the Pledge
and Security Agreement dated November 25, 2013 made by the Company in favor of the collateral agent acting on behalf of BHL. As
a result, SSL, Limited Liability Company NPK-KONTAKT and Limited Liability Company LISPROMGAZ became indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries
of the Company.
The above transactions were accounted
for as a single acquisition of related businesses as the Company’s acquisition of SSL and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Limited Liability Company NPK-KONTAKT and Limited Liability Company LISPROMGAZ, were conditioned upon a single common event –
the exercise of the Option Agreement. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013
are presented on a consolidated basis and the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 are combined.

Reserve Information and Related Standardized
Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows
Supplemental Oil and Gas Reserve
and Standardized Measure Information
The supplemental unaudited presentation
of proved reserve quantities and related standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows provides estimates only and
does not purport to reflect realizable values or fair market values of the Company’s reserves. The Company emphasizes that
reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing oil
and gas properties. Accordingly, significant changes to these estimates can be expected as future information becomes available.
All of the Company’s reserves are located in the Ukraine.
Proved reserves are those estimated
reserves of natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future
years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are those expected to
be recovered through existing wells, equipment, and operating methods. The reserve estimates set forth below were prepared by
third party engineering firms using reserve definitions and pricing requirements prescribed by the SEC.
Since the acquisition of the methane
gas producing properties was completed in November 2013, the following table presents this acquisition in a one line item presentation.
A reserve study was not prepared by the predecessor entity as of January 1, 2013.
Estimated quantities of oil
and natural gas reserves
The following table sets forth certain

Standardized measure of discounted future net cash
flows
The standardized measure of discounted
future net cash flows is computed by applying the average first day of the month price of gas during the 12 month period before
the end of the year (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated
future production of proved gas reserves, less the estimated future expenditures (based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing
and producing the proved reserves, less estimated future income tax expenses (based on year-end statutory tax rates, with consideration
of future tax rates already legislated) to be incurred on pretax net cash flows less tax basis of the properties and available
credits, and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. The estimated future net cash flows are then discounted using
a rate of 10 percent per year to reflect the estimated timing of the future cash flows.

NOTE 15 – CONTINGENCIES
AND COMMITMENTS
Operating environment
The principal business activities of
the Group are within Ukraine. Emerging markets such as Ukraine are subject to different risks than more developed markets, including
economic, political and social, legal and legislative risks. As has happened in the past, actual or perceived financial problems
or an increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in emerging economies could adversely affect the investment climate
in Ukraine and the Ukraine’s economy in general. Laws and regulations affecting businesses operating in Ukraine are subject
to rapid changes and the Group’s assets and operations could be at risk if there are any adverse changes in the political
and business environment. See “Political Risks” in this footnote.
Taxation
The tax environment in Ukraine is constantly
changing and characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation, which may be applied retroactively and are often
unclear, contradictory, and subject to interpretation. Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities,
which are enabled by law to impose severe fines, penalties and interest charges and these amounts could be material. Future tax
examinations could raise issues or assessments which are contrary to the Group companies’ tax filings.
Management believes that it has provided
adequately for tax liabilities based on its interpretations of applicable tax legislation and official pronouncements.
Environmental liabilities
The Group routinely evaluates their
obligations relating to new and changing environmental legislation.
As liabilities in respect of the Group’s
environmental obligations are able to be determined, they are recognized immediately. The likelihood and amount of liabilities
relating to environmental obligations under proposed or any future legislation cannot be reasonably estimated at present and could
become material. Under existing legislation, however, management believes that there are no significant unrecorded liabilities
or contingencies, which could have a materially adverse effect on the operating results or financial position of the Group.
Political Risks
After continuous political and social
turbulence that resulted in dismissal of the acting President of Ukraine, on February 27, 2014 the Ukrainian parliament appointed
an interim government with a mandate to execute the Ukraine-EU Association and Free trade agreements, negotiated USD 16 billion
IMF program in order to support implementation of liberal economic, judicial and social reforms. The Parliament also scheduled
presidential elections on May 25, 2014. The US and European Union also agreed to provide additional USD 20 billion financial and
technical support for Ukraine in light of its recent economic and military tensions with Russian Federation.
Political unrest in Ukraine of the
past months and recent increase in political, economic and military pressures from Russian Federation, have fueled the activity
of various secessionist groups in the eastern part of the country. This may have an adverse effect on the national security and
economy, and increases risks of doing business in Ukraine or investing in the companies doing business in Ukraine. The situation
is exacerbated by the tensions with the Russian Federation which annexed the Crimean peninsula in March 2014 and built up a significant
military presence at its border with Ukraine. Russia actively provides financial, military and human resources to illegal armed
groups, which are active in some north-eastern parts of Donbass. In order to counteract to such activities and potential consequences,
starting from April, the government, enforcement agencies and armed forces of Ukraine are implementing the anti-terrorists operation
(ATO).
Petr Poroshenko, the President of
Ukraine elected in May 2014, presented his program of peaceful regulation of the situation in the East of Ukraine. Based on this
peaceful plan, the signing of the protocol which contains the steps and measures aimed at de-escalation of the situation in Donetsk
and Lugansk regions took place in Minsk at the beginning of September.
This protocol was signed by Ukraine,
OSCE and Russia and contains 12 steps which regulate the process of implementation of peace on the given territory. In connection
with signing the cessation of arms and cease-fire was announced. Together with that, this condition is not followed by the terrorists
and the locations of Ukrainian army undergo the firing. At the end of August, the President of Ukraine announced about the dismissal
of the Parliament and the pre-term elections to the Parliament on October 26th. During September-October the Parliament adopted
several important laws including the laws aimed at the reforms in Ukraine and improvement of the investment climate in Ukraine:
«About the public prosecutor’s office», «About the National anti-corruption bureau of Ukraine»,
the Law «About the prevention of corruption».
In the February
2015 the International Monetary Fund approved a new $17.5 billion bailout of crisis-hit Ukraine. The IMF executive board will
meet at the end of February or in early March to give the go-ahead on the proposed four-year loan program to Ukraine. The IMF
has indicated its $17.5 billion aid would be part of about $40 billion in assistance from the international community.
The territory where the licensed
area of the Company is located and the operation activity is implemented is located on the territory controlled by Ukrainian military
forces.
Such events and circumstances have
an adverse effect on investment climate in Ukraine and in case of further escalation it might have the further negative impact
on the business environment.
NOTE 16 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates
continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred $2,804,286 in accumulated deficit since its inception
and has generated $348,611 in operating revenue during the year ended December 31, 2013. These items raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In view of these matters, realization
of the assets of the Company is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements through equity financing
and the success of future operations. These financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable
to continue in existence.
NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
The Company has evaluated events from
December 31, 2013 through the date the financial statements were issued.
On February 5, 2014, the Company consummated
a private placement of an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Common Stock for gross proceeds of $50,000 at a per share price of $1.00
pursuant to a Subscription Agreement with an accredited investor.
On February 24, 2014, Mr. Herve Collet
was appointed as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company. The Company and Mr. Collet entered into a consulting agreement dated
February 23, 2014, whereby Mr. Collet’s compensation consists of:(i) stock grant of 300,000 shares of common stock of which
150,000 shares vest as of the date of the agreement and 150,000 shares vesting and issued 181 days after the date of the agreement;
and(ii) a stipend of $4,000 per month.

Attention:
Dear Sir:
Re: |
Evaluation
of Resources – Great East Energy Inc.
Lysychansko-Toshkivskay Project, Ukraine, |
In
accordance with your authorization, we have performed an evaluation of the resources on the Lysychansk-Toshkivskay project in
the Ukraine for Great East Energy Inc. (the “Company”), in order to determine the feasibility of the Company’s
geological investigations and potential industrial development of resources within the area under the terms proposed and the value
of the resources after consideration of risk. This evaluation has been conducted utilizing forecast prices and costs.
Our
analysis has included a review of the available technical data including the geological and geophysical interpretation presented
by the Company, the proposed financial terms under which the Company shall operate, information from wells within the area, and
the proposed program for any prospects and the expenditures anticipated. We have reviewed this material with respect to the estimated
resources and productivity that would be expected from a successful program, the anticipated capital costs, the average operating
costs in the area and the expected product prices. We have considered the availability of product markets and pipelines within
the area.
In
forming our opinion of the prospects we have relied to considerable extent on the information provided by the Company, which together
with our independent analysis and judgment was sufficient for us to establish the nature of the prospects and risks involved.
An
economic analysis has been performed for the Company’s interest position. This analysis has been utilized for formulating
and supporting our recommendation on the project and the values do not necessarily infer “fair market value” of these
resources. All monetary units in this report are US dollars.
Based
on our analysis, after consideration of risk, we have concluded that the potential of the prospects is of sufficient merit to
justify the work program being proposed, and we therefore recommend and support the Company’s planned activities.
All
data gathered and calculations created in support of this report are stored in our files and can be made available or presented
upon request. We reserve the right to make revisions to this report in light of additional information made available or which
becomes known subsequent to the preparation this report. Due to the risks involved in oil and gas exploration, our assessment
of the project cannot be considered a guarantee that any wells drilled will be successful.
Prior
to public disclosure of any information contained in the report, or our name as author, our written consent must be obtained,
as to the information being disclosed and the manner in which it is presented. This report may not be reproduced, distributed
or made available for use by any other party without out written consent and may not be reproduced for distribution at any time
without the complete report, unless otherwise reviewed and approved by us.
Great
East, Lysychansko-Toshkivskay, Ukraine, N151-101, 2014
We
consent to the submission of this report, in its entirety, to securities regulatory agencies and stock exchanges, by the Company.
Very
truly yours,

SCOPE
OF REPORT
This
report has been authorized by Mr. Timur Khromaev on behalf of Great East Energy Inc. The technical analysis of this project has
been performed during the months of August and November 2013 and a revision was performed in October, 2014 to bring the report
current to January 1, 2014.
The
purpose of this report was to independently determine the economic feasibility of the Company undertaking the exploration and
industrial development of the resources in the Lysychansko-Toshkivskay area of Ukraine, determine the magnitude of the resources
and their economic value.
The
following definitions are derived from of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X Part
210.
RESERVES
are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be economically, as of a given
date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable
expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering
oil and gas or related substances to market, and all permits and financing required to implement the project. Reserves are further
classified according to the level of certainty associated with the estimates and may be sub classified based on development and
production status.
PROVED
RESERVES. Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil or gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering
data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible – from a given date forward, from known reservoirs,
and under existing economic condition, operating methods, and government regulations – prior to the time at which contracts
providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic
or probabilistic methods were used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator
must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.
PRODUCTION
is the cumulative quantity of petroleum that has been recovered at a given date.
Great

The
product prices were derived from the current (December 2013) sales price for gas within Ukraine and escalated the price at 1.5%
per year in subsequent years.

The
statement of resource data and other oil and gas information set out below has an effective date of January 1, 2014 and a preparation
date of October 2014. The resource data set forth below follows the format found in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook
(COGEH) and the reserves definitions are those defined by the SEC which vary from those contained in NI 51-101 and the COGEH.
Information
required to be disclosed is listed below. A more detailed discussion regarding the project is presented in the Executive Summary
and subsequent sections.
| (a) | The
subject resources are categorized as Discovered Petroleum Initially In Place (PIIP) Reserves
. |
| (b) | The
expected product is natural gas. |
| (c) | The
subject property is located in the southeastern area of Ukraine within the Donetsk Basin.
|
| (d) | The
risk on the property is the possibility of encountering a gas reservoir which is not
capable of delivering at economic rates. |
| (e) | There
is some political risk because of the influence of the Russian Federation in the region. |
The
standards of NI 51-101 differ from the standards of the SEC. The SEC generally permits U.S. reporting oil and gas companies in
their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved and probable reserves, net of royalties and interests of others.
The
geologic risk of recovering these resources has not been incorporated in the future net revenue forecast.
Great
East, Lysychansko-Toshkivskay, Ukraine, N151-101, 2014
The
Resource Data summarizes the natural gas resources from the property on which Great East Energy Inc. (the “Company”
or “Great East”) has permission to operate within the area outlined and the net present values of future net revenue
for these resources discovered or developed using constant prices and costs and forecast prices and costs. Additional information
not required by the SEC has been supplied to provide additional information which is relevant to the readers of this information.
It
should not be assumed that the estimates of future net revenues presented in the tables below represent the fair market value
of the Company’s resources. There is no assurance that the constant prices and cost assumptions and forecast prices and
cost assumptions will be attained and variances could be material. The recovery and resource estimates of oil and natural gas
provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated resources will be recovered. Actual recovery of
natural gas may be greater or less than the estimates provided herein (see Section 20.0 Notes and Definitions).

In
1999, Ukraine coal mines generated approximately 2,060 million cubic meters (73 Bcf) of methane of which 1,981 million cubic meters
(70 Bcf) were lost to the atmosphere. In 1999, the government of Ukraine drafted a national energy program with the stated
objective of achieving, among other objectives, production of methane sufficient to satisfy local needs. The Lysychansko-Toshkivskay
project is a result of that policy. As a consequence of this policy there is a tax exemption in effect until January 2020 for
mining activities and coal gas deposits. Thus, in the cash flow statement, no after tax figures are created.
Great
East, Lysychansko-Toshkivskay, Ukraine, N151-101, 2014
The
resources for the project are classified as Reserves, Proven and Probable. The hydrocarbon in place will be gas.
The
economic cases (Tables 19 through 26) in the Appendix of the report are the best estimate of potential revenue, production and
recovery and utilize forecast prices as of December 2014, for a single well. The most likely case is based upon production records
from two producing wells on the property. The revenue stream is with the cost of the well included in the capital costs and cost
recovery is performed in the analysis.
Coal
fields within the Donetsk basin are well documented and data is available for determining the resource base. The basin provides
approximately 95.4% of the Ukraine’s coal production. Values have been attributed to sands which occur within the section,
and other areas within the basin have been noted as being charged with gas (see Section 17.1). Coal metamorphism in the Donetsk
Basin has led to the formation of a significant methane resource, which by estimates provided by Ukraine and Western CBM professionals,
could be as high as 117 trillion cubic meters (U.S. EPA, 2001). Sand bodies adjacent to the coal beds and at deeper horizons are
gas charged targets.
The
production history over the last ten years of the two wells drilled on the license (Table 15) has been used to estimate flow rates
and decline rates for the cash flow statements. Several (5) other wells have been drilled on the license but have not been put
into production.
The
license encompasses seven domal structures as follows:
Tomashevskay
South containing wells # A3335, A3335a, A3335b, A33455, A3364 (11K) 6K.
Tomashevskay
North containing wells #7K, 8K, 9K
Lysychanskay
Vovcheyarskay
Toshkivskay
Petrograd-Donetskay
Zolotarivskay
The
Tomashevskay structure was the basis for the calculation of reserves as it has a history of production.
The
area of the dome was determined by one of the productive horizons, usually the bottom-most horizon and a specific contour line.

NATURAL GAS RESOURCES AND NET PRESENT VALUE OF FUTURE NET REVENUE
Following
the guidelines of National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities, and the SEC/SPE standards for
reserves, the author B.L. Whelan, P. Geo., prepared a report (the “Report”) dated October, 2014, subsequently revised
December 31, 2014. The Report evaluated as of January 1, 2014, the Lysychansk-Toshkivskay license, in which the Company can acquire
an interest, with respect to potential natural gas resources and the net present value of future net revenue attributable to such
resources as evaluated in the Report based on constant and forecast price and cost assumptions. The tables summarize the data
contained in the Report and as result may contain slightly different numbers than such report due to rounding. The net present
value of future net revenue attributable to the Company’s resources is stated without provision for interest cost and general
and administrative costs, but after providing for the estimated royalties, production costs, development costs, and abandonment
costs for only those wells assigned resources by the author.
The
Report is based on data supplied by the Company, public documents and the author’s opinion of reasonable practices in the
industry. The extent and character of ownership and of all factual data pertaining to the Company’s properties were supplied
by the Company and accepted without further investigation. The author accepted this data as presented and did not conduct title
searches or field inspections.
The
undiscounted or discounted net present value of future net revenue attributable to the Company’s resources estimated by
the author may not represent the fair market value of those resources. Other assumptions and qualifications relating to costs,
prices for future production and other matters are summarized within the Report. The recovery and resource estimates of the Company’s
natural gas resources provided within the Report are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated resources will
be recovered. Actual resources may be greater or less than the estimates provided in the Report.
All
amounts are in United States dollars unless otherwise noted. The following tables are derived from the most likely case scenario.
The cash flows generated are for single wells, current production and for the development/exploration proposed program utilizing
constant and escalated product prices.
11.1
CLASSIFICATION OF RESOURCES
The
resources stated in the report are Petroleum Initially In Place (PIIP) and the stated recoverable portion is considered Reserves
and Prospective Resources.
The
classification of the various structures is based upon the following criteria:
1 Tomashevskay
South, Proven Reserves, is based on the history of production from the A335a and 11K wells (Table 18) and the occurrence
of gas zones within several other wells on the structure.
2 Tomashevskay
North, Probable Reserves, is based on the history of production from the 7K and 8K wells which has water influx but the structure
has recognized gas zones within several other wells on the structure.
3 The
remaining domal structures, Prospective Resources, based on the presence throughout the license of underlying coal beds,
gas seeps, ventilated gas, but no wells for definition of zones. Prospective Resources are not reserves

RECONCILIATION OF COMPANY NET RESERVES BY PRINCIPAL PRODUCT TYPE BASED ON FORECAST PRICES AND COSTS
No
reconciliation has been performed as no reserves were previously determined.
14.0
UNDEVELOPED RESOURCES
The
following discussion generally describes the basis upon which the Company attributes Prospective Resources for undrilled structures
on the license and its plan for developing those Prospective Resources (Section 19).
The
assignment of Prospective Resources was made on the basis of:
| 1. | The
presence of coal bed methane being vented over an indeterminate number of years but more
than 20 years. |
| 2. | The
presence of gas in all wells drilled to date on the license. |
| 3. | The
presence of two wells that have produced from the license on the Tomashevskay structure
as test wells for gas production. |
| 4. | The
history of gas being ventilated from the various coal operations in the region. |
14.1
RISK AND UNCERTAINTY
In
the present case there is evidence that the named formations, i.e. the sands and limestones, have hydrocarbons in place and that
they have been, in one instance, economically produced. The risk involved is whether the members as a whole contains sufficient
recoverable hydrocarbons to justify the resource assigned to it. This risk is mitigated by the record of vented gases from the
various properties and the production history from the A3335 well (Table 18).

16.0 SIGNIFICANT FACTORS
OR UNCERTAINTIES AFFECTING RESOURCES DATA
The
estimation of resources requires judgment and decisions based upon available geological, geophysical, engineering and economic
data. These estimates can change substantially as additional information from ongoing development activities and production performance
becomes available and as economic and political conditions impact gas prices and costs change. The Company’s estimates are
based on current production forecasts, prices and economic conditions. All of the Company’s resources are evaluated by an
independent person, the author, an independent consulting geologist.
As
circumstances change and additional data becomes available, resource estimates change. Based on new information, resource estimates
are reviewed and revised, either upward or downward, as warranted. Although reasonable efforts have been made by the Company to
ensure resource estimates are accurate, revisions arise as new information becomes available. As new geological, production and
economic information is incorporated into the process of estimating the accuracy of the resource estimates improves. Such revisions
can be either positive or negative.
17.0
OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
Pursuant
to an agreement the Company has a license to operate geological investigations and experimental industrial development in the
Lysychansko-Toshkivskay Project, Ukraine.
17.1
GENERAL
The
Donetsk Basin is one of the major coal fields in the world with over 95% of Ukraine’s coal production from the basin. The
basin is estimated to contain proven coal reserves of 52 Gt with an additional resource base of 42 Gt (Privalov V.A. et al, 2003).
The basin contains more than 300 coal seams of which 130 seams have a thickness of greater than 0.45m. The basin is 150 km wide
and extends approximately 500 km from eastern Ukraine into the Rostov region of Russia. Almost all of the coal fields in the basin
are characterized by high CBM content with most of the methane sorbed onto microporous surfaces of the coal beds and dispersed
coaly matter in the encompassing host rock. Data obtained from the Toshkivskay Mine was used as the model for calculations of
Petroleum-Initially-In-Place (PIIP) as the Toshkivskay Mine has considerable published data.
Multiple
sandstone beds, separated by shales, coals, and carbonates are present in the Carboniferous section (Figure 5). The thickness
of reservoir beds ranges from several meters to 75m. Reservoir properties of sandstones vary significantly, depending on the facies,
composition and diagenetic changes (Ulmishek, G., 2001). As these sandstones are the principal reservoir for oil and gas in other
areas of the basin, the potential of the sands is the objective during the proposed drilling program. “In addition, for
both CMM and CBM recovery projects, the methane contained within non-coal interbeds can represent a significant source of additional
methane. Therefore, it is important to consider these sources when assessing resource potential as well as in the development
of the extraction programs”. (EPA, Triplett, J. eta al.).
17.2
GEOLOGY
In
general, the Donetsk Basin is bounded on the north and southwest by outcrops of the bottom coal seams. The eastern boundary is
represented by a general pinch-out of the coal seams, and the southern boundary by crystalline rocks of the Ukrainian shield.
To the northwest of the basin, a general depression of the coal beds can be found that reaches the depth of 1,800m (EPA, 2001).
Search
http://www.epa.gov/cmop/docs/ukraine_handbook.pdf for a complete description of the basin. Extracts from various reports which
deal with the properties of interest are included below.
Great
East, Lysychansko-Toshkivskay, Ukraine, N151-101, 2014
The
basin is principally a Late Devonian rift that is overlain by Carboniferous to Early Permian postrift sag (Ulmishek, G.F., USGS,
2007). The sedimentary succession of the basin consists of four tectono-stratigraphic sequences (Figure 8):
| 1. | The
prerift platform sequence includes Middle Devonian to lower Frasnian, mainly clastic
rocks that were deposited in an extensive intercratonic basin. |
| 2. | The
Upper Devonian sequence is composed of marine carbonate, clastic and volcanic rocks and
two salt formations of Frasnian and Famennian age that are deformed into salt domes and
plugs. |
| 3. | The
postrift sag sequence consists of Carboniferous and Lower Permian clastic marine and
alluvial deltaic rocks. The basin was affected by strong compression in Early Permian
time when the southeastern basin area was uplifted and deeply eroded and the Donetsk
fold belt was formed. |
| 4. | The
postrift platform sequence includes Triassic through Tertiary rocks that were deposited
in a shallow platform depression that extended far beyond the Dnieper-Donetsk basin boundaries. |
17.2.1 DONBASS
DEVELOPMENT AREA
The
Donbas area contains the Lysychansko-Toshkivskay area and includes 5 operating mines and 11 closed mines. The relevant area is
located in the Lugansk region. The lease area has a SE-NW orientation and the largest nearby town is Lysychanskaya. Ninety percent
of the area is used for agricultural purposes or is not cultivated, and is owned by individuals, farmers or municipal bodies.
The large (700mm diameter) Donetsk – Mariupol pipeline runs to the east of the lease.
17.2.2 Lysychansko-Toshkivskay
The
Lysychansko-Toshkivskay license is located 165 km north-northeast of Donetsk. The data utilized to generate the regional resource
figures was partially derived from the information published on the Toshkivskay mine (Table 15, 16) which lies within the license
and has similar geological properties and well information. The stratigraphic sequence is monotonous throughout the license and
has been delineated by multiple drill holes which were drilled to evaluate the coal seams throughout the area. No electric logs
were rum on the holes as they were slim-hole drill holes drilled as stratigraphic tests. The information derived was used to map
the sedimentary sequence which, as stated, was constantly regular and disturbed only by faulting.

PRODUCTION ESTIMATES
Production
rates for CBM vary significantly depending upon the basin in which they are exploited. As examples, the following basins within
North America have production rates per well as follows:
Powder River basin |
319 - 266 Mcfd |
Alberta |
75 Mcfd |
Black Warrior Basin |
20 – 1,000 Mcfd |
Raton Basin |
300 Mcfd |
The
rates used for the economic analysis in this Report were selected based on a general average from various basins and the production
history of the A3335a well on the Tomashevskay South dome. The producing well, 11K on the Tomashevskay North dome has a poor history
of production because of a rapid draw down resulting in formation damage and water entry. The estimates of future production is
250 Mcf/day/well initially, declining 25% in year 1, and 10% in subsequent years.
24.0
PRODUCTION HISTORY
Two
wells have been placed on production for natural gas. The production history is tabulated in Table 18 and Chart 1 (Appendix).
Venting from coal mining operations has been carried out for an indeterminate but substantial period (Table 16).

RECOMMENDATIONS
It
is recommended that the drilling and testing program be carried out over the Lysychansko-Toshkivskay license to a minimum depth
of 800 m and a maximum depth of 2500m in order to:
| 1. | determine
the potential for deliverability of natural gas from the sand intervals. |
| 2. | obtain
petrophysical data to determine the reservoir characteristics and contents of the sandstone
formations which are prevalent in the section of the Lysychansko-Toshkivskay license, |
| 3. | obtain
drawdown parameters, |
| 4. | determine
the spacing pattern for future development of the Lysychansko-Toshkivskay license, |
| 5. | penetrate
below the major fault underlying the Tomashevskay structure, and |
| 6. | determine
the optimum depth to drill wells. |
| 7. | add
compressors to existing wells |
It
is recommended that several test wells be drilled on the Lysychansko-Toshkivskay license for a total expenditure of $8.15 million
(see Table 17). This will satisfy the objectives set out above and the requirements of the Agreement. Upon confirmation that
the potential for reasonable production is present, it is recommended that a continuous drill program be carried out to efficiently
produce the resource.
