Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Note 1—Basis of Presentation
 
We are providing herein the consolidated interim statements of financial condition of Puissant Industries, Inc. and its subsidiary (collectively the "Company") as of March 31, 2014, and the related consolidated interim statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated interim statements of changes in stockholders equity for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013. The consolidated interim financial statements presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2013, which are included in the Company's Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on April 14, 2014.

The information furnished in this report reflects all adjustments consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, which are in the opinion of management necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. Prior interim period data has been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported results of operations. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

Note 2—Nature of Operations

Organization
 
Puissant Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized as a Wyoming corporation on July 6, 2009. As of December 31, 2010, the Company was located in Columbia, Kentucky, in Adair County.

The Company is an oil and natural gas exploration, production and development company geographically focused on the onshore United States. The Company currently has 39 wells assigned to it with over 4,685 acres available for drilling and exploration. The Company redomiciled to the state of Florida and changed its name from American Resource Manaagement, Inc. to Puissant Industries, Inc. on March 17, 2011.

The Company owns 100% of ARM Operating Company (“ARM”). ARM was formed on July 12, 2011, primarily to manage all oil and gas properties of the Company, which includes the operation, development, and maintenance of all oil and gas wells, leases, and reserve activities. ARM will be registered as the operatior of wells with all relevant governmenal agencies, and it will be responsible for maintaining production and maintenance reports for all wells and facilities of the Company.

Accounting period

The Company has adopted an annual accounting period of January through December.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Note 3—Summary of significant accounting principles

Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP’) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates particularly significant to the financial statements include the following:
 
Estimates of our reserves of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids ("NGL");
Future cash flows from oil and gas properties;
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense;
Asset retirement obligations;
Fair values of derivative instruments;
Fair values of assets acquired and liabilites assumed from business combinations; and
Natural gas imbalances.
 
As fair value is a market-based measurement, it is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Such estimates and assumptions are adjusted when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any changes in estimates resulting from continuous changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.
 
There are numerous uncertainties in estimating the quantity of reserves and in projecting the future rates of production and timing of development expenditures, including future costs to dismantle, dispose and restore our properties. Oil and gas reserve engineering must be recognized as a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact way.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers short-term interest bearing investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks, free credit on investment accounts and money market accounts.

Foreign currency translation

The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters . Monetary items are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date; non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Note 3—Summary of significant accounting principles (continued)

Property and equipment
 
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred while betterments and improvements are capitalized. When items are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.
 
The Company provides for depreciation and amortization over the following estimated useful lives:
 
Building
39 years
Land improvements
10 years
Machinery and equipment
5-7 years
Computer equipment
3 years
Office equipment
7 years
Trucks and trailers
5 years
 
Oil and Gas Properties

Oil and gas investments are accounted for by the successful efforts method of accounting. Accordingly, the costs incurred to acquire property (proved and unproved), all development costs, and successful exploratory costs are capitalized, whereas the costs of unsuccessful exploratory wells are expensed.

Depletion

The provision for depletion of proved oil and gas properties is calculated on the units-of-production method, whereby capitalized costs, as adjusted for future development costs and asset retirement obligations, are amortized over the total estimated proved reserves. The Company calculates depletion on a quarterly basis.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting primarily of tubular goods and other well equipment held for use in the development and production of natural gas and crude oil reserves, are carried at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in first-out basis. Adjustments are made from time to time to recognize, as appropriate, any reductions in value.

Note 3—Summary of significant accounting principles (continued)

Unproved Properties

Investments in unproved properties are not depleted pending determination of the existence of proved reserves. Unproved properties are assessed periodically to ascertain whether there is a probability of obtaining proved reserves in the future. When it is determined these properties have been promoted to a proved reserve category or there is no longer any probability of obtaining proved reserves from the properties, the costs associated with these properties is transferred into the amortization base to be included in depletion calculations. Unproved properties whose costs are individually significant are assessed individually by considering the primary lease terms of the properties, the holding period of the properties, and geographic and geological data obtained relating to the properties. Where it is not practicable to assess properties individually as their costs are not individually significant, such properties are grouped for purposes of the periodic assessment.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment , the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets such as oil and gas properties and equipment used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. There was no impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Impairment of unproved oil and gas properties are determined by FASB ASC Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas .

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” approximate their carrying amounts presented in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Market Risk
 
Our activities primarily consist of acquiring, owning, enhancing and producing oil and gas properties. The future results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition may be affected by changes in the market price of oil and natural gas. The availability of a ready market for oil and natural gas products in the future will depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including weather, imports, marketing of competitive fuels, proximity and capacity of oil and natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities, any oversupply or undersupply of oil, natural gas and liquid products, the regulatory environment, the economic environment and, other regional and political events, none of which can be predicted with certainty.

Oil and Gas Reserve Quantities

Reserves and their relation to estimated future net cash flows impact our depletion and impairment calculations. As a result, adjustments to depletion are made concurrently with changes to reserve estimates. We disclose reserve estimates, and the projected cash flows derived from these reserve estimates, in accordance with SEC guidelines. Our independent engineers will also adhere to the SEC definitions when preparing their reserve reports.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations

We have significant obligations to plug and abandon oil and natural gas wells and related equipment at the end of oil and natural gas production operations. We incur these liabilities upon acquiring or drilling a well. GAAP requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) in the period in which it is incurred with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, changes in the present value of the liability are accreted and expensed. The capitalized asset costs are depleted as a component of the full cost pool. The fair values of additions to the ARO liability are estimated using present value techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation include estimates of: (i) plug and abandonment costs per well based on existing regulatory requirements; (ii) remaining life per well; (iii) inflation factors; and (iv) a credit-adjusted risk free rate. Future revisions to ARO estimates will impact the present value of existing ARO liabilities and corresponding adjustments will be made to the capitalized asset retirement costs balance. Upon settlement of the liability, we report a gain or loss to the extent the actual costs differ from the recorded liability.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ ASC 740 ”) , which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. The Company determines its deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, which are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit will more likely than not be realized. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions.

Income Taxes (Continued)

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit will more likely than not be realized. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions.
 
Generally, tax fillings are no longer subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for years before 2010. Any potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, state, and local tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has not accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
 
Upon the attainment of taxable income by the Company, management will assess the likelihood of realizing the tax benefit associated with the use of the carryforwards and will recognize a deferred tax asset at that time.

Comprehensive Income

The Company complies with FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income , which establishes rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components.
 
Loss Per Common Share

The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share . Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share incorporates the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents on an average basis during the period.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company complies with FASB ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation , which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. FASB ASC Topic 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation costs are recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available). If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. For the three Months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded compensation expense of $-0- and $-0-, respectively.

Valuation of Investments in Securities at Fair Value—Definition and Hierarchy

FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
 
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. In accordance with GAAP, a fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations, as follows:

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 securities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined.

Note 3—Summary of significant accounting principles (continued)

Valuation of Investments in Securities at Fair Value—Definition and Hierarchy (continued)
 
Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation Techniques

The Company values investments in securities that are freely tradable and are listed on a national securities exchange or reported on the NASDAQ national market at their last sales price as of the last business day of the year. At March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no investments classified as securities owned on the balance sheet.

Certificate of Deposits

The fair values of the bank certificate of deposits are based on the face value of the certificate of deposits.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes ( Topic 740) which provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an un recognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exits. The update is effective for hears beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the implementation of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
 
In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (ASU 2013-05). ASU 2013-05 provides guidance on releasing cumulative translation adjustments when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or a business within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
 
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulative Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02), which replaces the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have any impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, which, at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents.

The Company extends credit, primarily in the form of uncollateralized oil and gas sales to various companies in the oil and gas industry, which results in concentrations of credit risk. Concentrations of credit risk may be affected by changes in economic or other conditions within our industry and may impact our overall credit risk. However, we believe that the risk of these unsecured receivables is mitigated by the size, reputation, and nature of the companies to which we extend credit.

Historically, the Company has sold its oil and natural gas production to a relatively small number of purchasers. We are not dependent upon, or confined to, any one purchaser or small group of purchasers. Due to the nature of oil and natural gas markets and because oil and natural gas are commodities and there are numerous purchasers in the areas in which we sell production, we do not believe the loss of a single purchaser, or more than one purchaser, would materially affect our ability to sell our production.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, revenues from four customers accounted for 100% of oil and gas production revenues.

Corporate History
 
Corporate Overview.
We were incorporated on July 6, 2009, in the state of Wyoming as American Resource Management, Inc. We changed our domicile to the State of Florida on March 17, 2011 and simultaneously changed our name to Puissant Industries, Inc. Our principal offices are located at 520 Whitley Street, London Kentucky and our telephone number is (606) 864-3161
 
Business Description.
We are engaged in oil and gas exploration and development activities in fractured formations located in Kentucky.

On or about January 15, 2005, Sovereign One, Inc., a company controlled by Mark Holbrook, McCrome International Inc., a company controlled by Cora J Holbrook and Logos Resources, Inc., a company controlled by Marshall Holbrook entered into an agreement with A.D.I.D. Corporation, a Kentucky corporation controlled by Marshall Holbrook ("A.D.I.D.") whereby A.D.I.D. agreed to acquire oil and gas leases and properties and assign such oil and gas leases and properties as specified by Sovereign One Inc., McCrome International, Inc., and Logos Resources, Inc.

In exchange for our issuance of an aggregate of 5,250,000 shares of our common stock representing 1,750,000 common shares to each Sovereign One Inc., McCrome International, Inc. and Logos Resources, Inc., A.D.I.D. assigned the following interests to us:
 
(i) On August 9, 2010, 100% ownership in (a) 34,000 of 2-inch natural gas pipeline and 60,000 feet of 4-inch natural gas pipeline, compressor stations, right of ways and easements located in Clay and Laurel Counties, Kentucky, and (b) 59,000 feet of 2-inch natural gas pipeline and 10,000 feet of 4-inch natural gas pipeline, compressor stations, right of ways and easements located in Whitley County, Kentucky; and (ii) On February 15, 2010, a 100% working interest and an 85% net revenue interests of 39 oil and gas wells and leases (the “Wells”) in Kentucky.

The working interest gives us the ability to explore for and to produce and own oil, gas or other minerals from the wells in which we have an interest. As the working interest owner, we bear the exploration, development, and operating costs. The net revenue interest provides us with 85% of the proceeds from any oil and gas production on the Wells after payment of all operating and development costs.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011, we commenced recompletion of old wells by connecting the wells to our existing pipeline. During this period, we located the first purchaser of the natural gas from the recompleted wells, Seminole Energy Services.

In the fourth quarter of 2011, we acquired the surface mineral and property rights to 100 acres and subsurface rights to 175 acres in Clay County Kentucky.

On July 12, 2011, we formed our wholly owned subsidiary, ARM Operating Company (“ARM”), a Kentucky corporation which manages all of our oil and gas properties and oversees the operation, development, and maintenance of all our oil and gas wells, leases, and reserve activities. ARM is registered as the operator of wells with all relevant governmental agencies, and is responsible for maintaining production and maintenance reports for all of our wells and facilities. Our officers and Board of Directors makes all decisions concerning ARM.

The foregoing estimated proved reserve data was prepared using unweighted average first-day-of-the-month prices for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pricing guidelines were used to set the oil and gas prices. An oil price of $96.94 per barrel (Bbl), a natural gas liquids price of $36.68 per barrel (Bbl) and gas price of $3.671 per million British Thermal Unit (MMbtu) were used in this study. The prices were adjusted for energy content, price differentials, and other expenses as needed.

Our proved natural gas reserves were 15.949 billion cubic feet (Bcf), or 2.6583 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) (1Bbl = 6 Mcf basis). The proved oil reserves were .197 million barrels. The proved natural gas liquids (NGL) reserves were .327 million barrels, for a total of 3.182 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE). The Net Present Value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated future net cash flow before income taxes (PV-10) of our total proved reserves at December 31, 2013 was $29.227 million.

There are many uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities and values of proved reserves and projecting future rates of production and timing of development. The reserve data set forth herein, although prepared by an independent petroleum engineer in a manner customary in the industry, are estimates only, and the actual quantities and values of oil and gas are likely to differ from the estimated amounts set forth herein. In addition, the reserve estimates for our properties will be affected by future changes in sales prices of oil and gas produced. Other than those filed with the SEC, our estimated reserves have not been filed with or included in any reports to any federal agency.
 
Results of operations
 
Three-month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2013

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we generated total revenues of $173,746, consisting of $163,540 in oil and gas production revenues and $10,206 in royalty income. For the three-ended March 31, 2013, we generated total revenues of $110,947 consisting of oil and gas production of $101,385 in oil and gas production revenues and $9,562 of royalty income. The $62,799 increase or 56% increase in our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the March 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to the increase of $62,155 of oil and gas production revenues in the March 31, 2014 quarter compared to the March 31, 2013 quarter. For the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, we incurred total costs and expenses of $165,604 and $198,598, respectively,. The total costs and expenses for March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 periods represents a $32,944 decrease in our operating expenses during the March 31, 2014 quarter compared to the March 31, 2013 quarter; however, there are material differences in the comparisons of type costs and expenses between the 2014 quarter and 2013 quarters, as follows: (a) a $21,874 increase in lease operating expenses; (b) a $59,927 decrease in administrative expenses; and (c) $4,500 increase in exploration costs.

TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
Our operations are subject to certain trends and uncertainties:
 
o
Supply and demand factors in the oil and gas industry;

o
Actions by United States policy makers in the oil and gas industry, particularly those that impact upon supply, demand and price;

o
Whether we are able to obtain adequate financing to expand our operations;

o
Fluctuating changes in the market price of oil and natural gas; and

o
Weather, imports, marketing of competitive fuels, proximity and capacity of oil and natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities, any oversupply or undersupply of oil, natural gas and liquid products, the regulatory environment, the economic environment and, other regional and political events, none of which can be predicted with certainty;

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We report revenues and expenses using the accrual method of accounting for financial and tax reporting purposes.

USE OF ESTIMATES

Management uses estimates and assumption in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.

INCOME TAXES

We account for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which codified SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that we will not realize tax assets through future operations.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires the Company to disclose, when reasonably attainable, the fair market values of its assets and liabilities, which are deemed to be financial instruments. Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash.
 
 
23

 
 
PER SHARE INFORMATION

We compute net loss per share accordance with FASB ASC 205 “Earnings per Share”. FASB ASC 205 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement.

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

STOCK OPTION GRANTS

We have not granted any stock options to our officers and directors since our inception. Upon the further development of our business, we will likely grant options to directors and officers consistent with industry standards for junior oil and gas companies.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Inapplicable. We have no market sensitive instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 240.15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
