Corporate Organization



The Company was formed
in the State of Utah under the name of “Secure Networks, Inc.” on February 4, 2004, and was subsequently reincorporated
in Delaware on February 14, 2007 under the name “Secure Netwerks, Inc.” At the time of its formation, the Company was
a wholly-owned subsidiary of SportsNuts, Inc., a Delaware corporation traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board that files reports
with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On March 1,
2007, the shares of the Company were spun-off to the shareholders of SportsNuts, Inc. On November 11, 2011, the Company changed
its name to Start Scientific, Inc. As of May 21, 2018, we had 304 shareholders of record.



The Business of the Company



Overview



Prior to March 2012, we
were a computer and technology hardware reseller to businesses and other organizations. Most of our clients were small and medium
sized organizations, although we attempted to market our products and services to larger organizations. We also outsourced technology-related
services to provide a full solution basket of technology products and services including hardware, software, network development
and services. Our clients consisted of some retail purchasers and small to medium-sized organizations, operating mostly in North
America, but we did have occasional clients in Europe. Due to our recent acquisition of oil and gas interests, our future business
is expected to be based on the exploration, development, drilling, and production of various oil and gas properties. In particular,
we intend to look for oil and gas opportunities in international markets. Whether in respect to the

1

development of oil and gas interests in North
America or overseas, we expect to align with industry partners in respect of the drilling and operation of these wells. Our long-term
focus is to grow and develop existing oil and gas leasehold interests and acquire new interests within and without the continental
United States. In addition, we intend to acquire interests in older wells that, with the application of newer technologies, may
increase production and reserves.



Our Oil & Gas Interests



About the Pickens Field



The first oil field discovered
in Mississippi, the Tinsley field, is located 27 miles to the southwest of the Pickens Field. The Pickens Field was discovered
six months later.



The Pickens Field is
located about 35 miles north of Jackson, Mississippi, in Madison and Yazoo Counties. The field was discovered by Kingwood Oil
Company in March of 1940 with the drilling of the R. E. Wilburn No. 1, which is located in Section 31 of T12N-R3E, Yazoo
County. The R.E. Wilburn was completed open hole in the Eutaw Wilburn sand at a depth of 4878-4889 feet, and initially tested
1013 barrels per day of 40 gravity oil and eventually produced 356,489 barrels of oil over its life time.



Pickens Field was discovered
six months after the discovery of the Tinsley Field in western Yazoo County, and was the fourth field discovered in Mississippi.
Pickens Field has produced 20,441,487 barrels of oil from the Eutaw Wilburn sand, approximately 2,000,000 barrels of oil from the
Selma Chalk, and approximately 100,000 barrels of oil from the Tuscaloosa and Lower Cretaceous.



The Pickens Field is a
ten-mile long northwest-southeast trending fault line trap with up-thrown fault blocks and structural closer. The Selma Chalk and
the Tuscaloosa reservoirs are also associated with the same type of trapping mechanisms. Pickens is located near the western end
of the Pickens-Gilbertown fault system, which begins west of the Pickens Field, and extends to the southeast through the producing
oil regions of Scott, Jasper, and Clarke counties Mississippi, and ending at the Gilbertown Field in Choctaw County, Alabama. This
fault system is also located at the northern end of the Mississippi Interior Salt Basin, and has had many oil fields discovered
along its trend.



Other producing oil fields
in the region are the Bentonia and Flora oil fields, which are 21 miles to the southwest. It is believed that an upward movement
in the Louann Salt caused a northwest-southeast trending salt ridge, creating an overlying high relief Smackover structure and
severe faulting in the shallow reservoirs of the Eutaw and other Cretaceous reservoirs. The high-grade crude oil that has charged
the shallower horizons, most likely migrated up the faults from the Smackover structure below.



The Selma Chalk
Formation.The Texas Oil Company discovered oil in the Selma Chalk formation in March of 1963 with the completion of the
Eliza Thomas No. 1. This well is located in the SE quarter of Section 29 of T12N-R3E, Yazoo County. The Chalk is a light gray
carbonate rock, which is approximately 900 feet thick in the Pickens area. The Chalk is more sandy and permeable in the
northwest portion of the field and less permeable in the southeast portion of the field. Up until 1963 the oil produced at
the Pickens Field came from the Eutaw. Over the years as Eutaw wells were being drilled, it became common knowledge in the
local oil industry as well as drilling contractors that a loss of circulation would sometimes occur when drilling through the
Chalk. Also, oil would occasionally appear on the mud pits as drilling mud was circulated back to the surface after drilling
through the Chalk section.

The Eliza Thomas No.
1 was north of the Pickens Field on a separate fault. The Thomas well was originally drilled to 5,415 feet, and then
completed in the Selma Chalk in the interval from 4434 to 4454. After acidizing, the well flowed 309 BOPD and no water, with
175 pounds of flowing tubing pressure. The Chalk oil was 37 gravity, similar to the Eutaw. Sidewall cores taken in the Chalk
had a slight oil show, which probably led Texaco to complete in the interval.



The John McGowan Company
and Clement & Stover subsequently drilled other Chalk wells after the successful completion of the Thomas well. These operators
would typically run a Drill Stem Test to see if the Chalk would show oil. This was a fairly successful technique, but was not always
an indication of whether a well would be productive or not. McGowan and Clement & Stover, however, completed the more successful
wells in the field such as the Varnado, the Livingston and the Bridgforth. Out of the 27 Chalk wells completed at the Pickens Field,
the average cumulative production was 65,734 BO. However, the better producers in the field were the H. R. Varnado No. 1, the No.
2 Board of Supervisors, the Stewart Bridgforth No. 2, and the Livingston No. 1. These four wells averaged 263,000 BO per well.
Drilling in the more permeable part of the field along with cutting the fault at the optimum depth most likely led to the higher
recovery.



The No. 2 Board of
Supervisors was drilled by Clement & Stover and is located in Section 16 of T12N-2E of Yazoo County. This well was
completed in the Chalk open-hole and no log was run. The initial test was 64 BO and 8 BW per day, and produced 287,482 BO
cumulatively. This well steadily produced an average of 4472 barrels of oil per month (149 per day) for the first four years
before it began to decline. The Clement-Stover/Stewart Bridgforth No. 2 flowed 168 BO and 48 BW per day on the initial test,
and produced a total of 213,500 BO. The McGowan/H. R. Varnado No. 1 tested 156 BO per day, and produced a total of 440,000 BO
cumulatively. The Clement-Stover/Livingston No. 1 tested 112 BO and 128 BW per day, and produced a total of 110,000 BO.



In March of 1996, G&S
Oil Company re-entered the Palmer Petroleum/Bridgforth No.1, and completed in the Selma Chalk from 4180 to 4230. The well flowed
380 BOPD with no water and 225 pounds of tubing pressure. Cumulative oil production is 49,496 barrels. A fault cut the Chalk in
the top 150 feet of the section. The pay section shows no SP response and resistivity of 7 ohms. This well did not flow oil until
it was acidized with Hydrochloric acid. After reviewing various Selma Chalk completions in the Pickens Field, it seems that the
wells that cut a fault in the top 100 feet of the Chalk section performed better than the ones that did not. Acidizing (HCL) after
perforating is also important for a successful completion.



We believe that there is
potential remaining in the Selma Chalk at the Pickens Field. New locations should be drilled directly on the down-thrown side of
the main faults allowing a fault cut in the top 100 feet of the Chalk section. In the Northwest portion of the Pickens Field, the
chalk is more permeable and should have a higher than average recovery of oil.



These fields are
not yet considered proven reserves because we do not have a current Reserve Report.



Market



Generally. The oil
and gas industry is highly susceptible to extreme fluctuations in energy-related commodity prices, which in turn has a corresponding
effect on the level of drilling and exploration activity and the costs associated therewith. Such volatility is also represented
in the trends, however disparate, of supplies, demand, and price movements of crude oil and natural gas.

Regulation



Federal and state regulations
control various aspects of drilling and operating oil and gas wells, including care of the environment, the safety of workers and
the public, and the relations with the owners and occupiers of surface lands within or near the leasehold acreage. The effect of
these regulations is, invariably, to increase the cost of operations. The costs of compliance with state regulations include a
permit for drilling a well before beginning a project. Other compliance matters have to do with keeping the property free of oil
spills and the plugging of non-productive wells.



Oil and gas exploration,
drilling, and production activities are also subject to private property rights. Owners of real property also own the rights to
the minerals underneath the surface, unless such mineral rights have been retained, sold or transferred by a previous landowner.
Oil and gas rights held by the United States government are managed by the Bureau of Land Management in conjunction with the U.S.
Forest Service pursuant to a variety of federal statutes.



Environmental impacts of
oil and gas production include produced water and drilling waste. Wastes that cannot be reused or recycled must be stored or disposed
of in some manner, increasing the land area affected by oil and gas extraction and raising concerns over potential leaking of drilling
fluids and other wastes from storage sites. Some petroleum industry operations have been responsible for water pollution through
by-products of refining and oil spills. The combustion of fossil fuels produces greenhouse gases and other air pollutants as byproducts.
Pollutants include nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals.



Employees



As of December 31, 2016,
we had 4 part-time contractors, to pursue our business as an oil and gas exploration and development company. There exists a significant
amount of competition for skilled personnel in the oil and gas services industry. Nevertheless, we expect to be able to attract
and retain such additional employees as are necessary, commensurate with the anticipated future expansion of our business. Further,
we expect to continue to use consultants, contract labor, attorneys and accountants as necessary.

Exemption From Registration
Claimed



All of the sales by the
Company of its unregistered securities were made by the Company in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “1933 Act”). All of the individuals and/or entities listed above that purchased the unregistered securities
were all known to the Company and its management, through pre-existing business relationships. All purchasers were provided access
to all material information, which they requested, and all information necessary to verify such information and were afforded access
to management of the Company in connection with their purchases. All purchasers of the unregistered securities acquired such securities
for investment and not with a view toward distribution, acknowledging such intent to the Company. All certificates or agreements

representing such securities that were issued
contained restrictive legends, prohibiting further transfer of the certificates or agreements representing such securities, without
such securities either being first registered or otherwise exempt from registration in any further resale or disposition.



Penny Stock Rules



Due to the price of our
common stock, as well as the fact that we are not listed on a national securities exchange, our stock is characterized as “penny
stocks” under applicable securities regulations. Our stock will therefore be subject to rules adopted by the SEC regulating
broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer proposing to effect a transaction
in a penny stock must furnish his customer a document containing information prescribed by the SEC and obtain from the customer
an executed acknowledgment of receipt of that document. The broker or dealer must also provide the customer with pricing information
regarding the security prior to the transaction and with the written confirmation of the transaction. The broker or dealer must
also disclose the aggregate amount of any compensation received or receivable by him in connection with such transaction prior
to consummating the transaction and with the written confirmation of the trade. The broker or dealer must also send an account
statement to each customer for which he has executed a transaction in a penny stock each month in which such security is held for
the customer's account. The existence of these rules may have an effect on the price of our stock, and the willingness of certain
brokers to effect transactions in our stock.



Dividend Policy



We have never declared
or paid dividends on our common stock. Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors
after taking into account various factors, including the terms of any credit arrangements, our financial condition, operating results,
current and anticipated cash needs and plans for expansion. At the present time, we are not party to any agreement that would limit
our ability to pay dividends.

Overview



Prior to April 2012, we
were a reseller of technology-related hardware and software, including laptops, desktops, networking devices, telecommunication
systems and networks, servers and software. In April, 2012 in connection with the acquisition of two separate one-fourth (1/4)
working interests in certain oil and gas leases located in Yazoo County, Mississippi, our principal business became the exploration,
development, and production of oil and gas interests.

On January 2, 2015, the
Company entered into a Farmout Agreement with BPS Operating Services LLC, located in Jackson, Mississippi. The Company has until
April 1, 2015 to tender $500,000 for the first well to be drilled. The production interest includes 40 acres around the new well
and the Company will earn a 75% working interest before payout, and a 60% working interest after payout. All of the production
facilities, salt water disposal systems, and 33 well bores are in place. The Company may drill additional wells for $400,000 per
well within 60 days of completion of each previously drilled well completion. No payments towards this Farmout Agreement have been
made yet by the Company as of the date of this annual report.



On January 21, 2015, the
Company entered into a Farmout Agreement with Durban Energy, Inc., located in Jackson, Mississippi. The Company has until July
10, 2015 to commence drilling a new well on the Farmout acreage. The Company will receive 100% of the net revenue until payout
of all costs, at which time the Company will assign a 25% working interest to Durban and partners. There is a 30% royalty burden
on the leases, which means that before payout the Company will have 70% of net revenue and after payout the Company will have 52.5%
of net revenue and Durban will have 17.5% of net revenue. Each well will be treated separately for payout calculation. No payments
towards this Farmout Agreement have been made yet by the Company as of the date of this annual report.



Results of Operations



Following is our discussion
of the relevant items affecting results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.



Revenues.The Company
generated net revenues of $-0- for both the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The lack of revenues is mainly the result of
the change in our business model from a reseller of computer hardware and software to an oil and gas exploration and development
company.



Cost of Sales. Cost
of sales for both the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $-0-. This is a result of zero sales and the change in our business
model as discussed above.



Salaries and Consulting
Expenses.For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, salaries and consulting expenses consisted of salaries and benefits
and outside consulting expenses. Salaries and consulting expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $-0- compared to $1,065,000
during the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease is mainly the result of the change from our oil & gas business plan and
very little activity during 2016. We expect that salaries and consulting expenses will increase commensurate with the expansion
of the Company’s business as an oil and gas exploration, development, and production firm.



Professional Fees.Professional
fees for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $2,546, compared to $231,352 during the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease
is mainly the result of very little business activity in 2016. The change of our business to an oil and gas exploration, development,
and production company will result in an increase in professional fees.



Other Selling, General
and Administrative Expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, selling, general and administrative expenses were
comprised of advertising; occupancy and office expenses; equipment leases; travel and other miscellaneous administrative expenses.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $215 compared to $11,287 during the
year ended December 31, 2015. We expect that we will continue to incur selling, general, and administrative expenses in the future
in connection with the expansion of the Company’s business.

Other Income (Expense).
We incurred net other expenses of $328,470 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to net other expenses of $613,558 during
the year ended December 31, 2015. Other income (expenses) incurred during 2016 were comprised of the loss on the change in fair
value of derivative liability of $184,803 and interest expense of $143,667, which includes $19,580 for the amortization of the
debt discount. Other income (expenses) incurred during 2015 were comprised of the loss on the change in fair value of derivative
liability of $17,986, loss on conversion of debt of $147,724 and interest expense of $447,848, which includes $136,814 for the
amortization of the debt discount.



Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



The Company has no off-balance
sheet arrangements.



Personnel



We presently have four
project-based contract personnel that we utilize to carry out our business. We utilize contract personnel on a continuous basis,
primarily in connection with our reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We expect to hire more full-time
employees in the future. Although competition for personnel in the oil and gas industry is intense, we don’t believe we will
have significant difficulty retaining additional employees or contract personnel in the future.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Since inception, the Company has financed its
operations through a series of loans, credit accounts with hardware vendors, and the use of Company credit to procure goods and
services. As of

December 31, 2016, our primary source of liquidity
consisted of $-0- in cash and cash equivalents. We expect to secure additional debt or equity capital to finance substantial business
development initiatives or acquire additional oil and gas interests.

QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM





To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Start Scientific, Inc.



We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Start Scientific,
Inc., (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit,
and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.



We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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 is 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements, 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 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Start Scientific, Inc., as of December 31, 2015, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.



The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered
net losses since inception and has accumulated a significant deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance
sheet of Start Scientific Inc., (the Company) as of December 31 2016, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’
equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based
on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with
the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required
to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.

Our audit included performing procedures
to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has suffered recurring losses and has no operations which
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters
are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2016 and 2015



NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS



Start Scientific, Inc. (the Company)
was formed in the state of Utah on February 4, 2004, with authorized common stock of 10,000,000 shares. The Company was subsequently
reincorporated in the State of Delaware on February 14, 2006 with authorized common stock of 5,000,000,000 shares and authorized
preferred stock of 100 shares. Both classes of stock have a par value of $0.00001 per share.



Prior to March 2012, we were a computer
and technology hardware reseller to businesses and other organizations. Most of our clients were small and medium sized organizations,
although we attempted to market our products and services to larger organizations. We also outsourced technology-related services
to provide a full solution basket of technology products and services including hardware, software, network development and services.
Our clients consisted of some retail purchasers and small to medium-sized organizations, operating mostly in North America, but
we did have occasional clients in Europe. Due to our recent acquisition of oil and gas interests, our future business is expected
to be based on the exploration, development, drilling, and production of various oil and gas properties. In particular, we intend
to look for oil and gas opportunities in international markets. Whether in respect to the development of oil and gas interests
in North America or overseas, we expect to align with industry partners in respect of the drilling and operation of these wells.
Our long-term focus is to grow and develop existing oil and gas leasehold interests and acquire new interests within and without
the continental United States. In addition, we intend to acquire interests in older wells that, with the application of newer technologies,
may increase production and reserves.



NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES



This summary of significant accounting
policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements
and notes are representations of the Company’s management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These
accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently
applied in the preparation of the financial statements. The following policies are considered to be significant:



a. Accounting Method



The Company recognizes income and
expenses based on the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a calendar year-end.



b. Cash and Cash Equivalents



Cash equivalents are generally comprised
of certain highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months.



c. Use of Estimates in
the Preparation of Financial Statements



The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

d. Basic and Fully Diluted
Net Loss per Share of Common Stock



In accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards No. ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period.



|                                                  |  | December 31,
|------------------------------------------------- |  | ------------

|Net loss (numerator)                              |  | $           
|Weighted average shares outstanding (denominator) |  |             
|Basic and fully diluted net loss per share amount |  | $           



e. Accounts Receivable



Accounts receivable are recorded
net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company generally offers 15-day credit terms on sales to its customers and requires
no collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which is determined based on a number of factors, including
each customer’s financial condition, general economic trends and management judgment. The Company had $-0- in accounts receivable
at December 31, 2016 and 2015.



f. Revenue Recognition



Revenue is recognized upon completion
of services or delivery of goods where the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Advance
customer payments are recorded as deferred revenue until such time as they are recognized. The Company recognized no revenue in
2016 or 2015.



g. Recent Accounting
Pronouncements



We have reviewed accounting pronouncements
issued during the past two years and have adopted any that are applicable to the Company. We have determined that none had a material
impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.



h. Income Taxes



The Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) has issued FASB ASC 740-10 (Prior authoritative literature: Financial Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48)).  FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that
a tax position will be sustained will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position.  If the
more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial

statements.  As a result of
the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition
and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.



Deferred taxes are provided on a
liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the
differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by
a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and
rates on the date of enactment.



At December 31, 2016, the
Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6,512,000 which may be offset against future taxable income
through 2036. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements because the potential tax benefits of the net
operating loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.



Due to the change in ownership provisions
of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual
limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to future use. In January 2018,
Congress enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which changed the Corporate income tax rate to a flat 21% for the tax year beginning
in 2018.



Net deferred tax assets consist
of the following components as of December 31, 2016 and 2015:

|                                         |  | 2016 |            | 2015
|---------------------------------------- |  | ---- | ---------- | ----
|Deferred tax assets:                     |  |      |            |     
|NOL Carryover (at 21% Federal, 5% State) |  | $    | 1,698,000  |     
|Valuation allowance                      |  |      | (1,698,000 | )   
|Net deferred tax asset                   |  | $    | —          |     



The income tax provision differs
from the amount of income tax determined by applying the current applicable U.S. federal and state income tax rates of 34% to pretax
income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 due to the following:



|                                        |  | 2016 |          | 2015
|--------------------------------------- |  | ---- | -------- | ----
|Federal tax benefit at 34%              |  | $    | (113,000 | )   
|Non-deductible stock-based compensation |  |      | —        |     
|State tax benefit at 5%                 |  |      | (16,000  | )   
|Change in Valuation allowance           |  |      | 91,000   |     
|Impact of rate changes on NOL           |  |      | 38,000   |     
|                                        |  | $    | —        |     



The Cumulative reduction in
deferred tax assets and resulting valuation allowance attributable to the tax rate changes in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2018
was $841,000.

A reconciliation of the beginning
and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:



|                                                         |  |   | Year ended December 31,
|-------------------------------------------------------- |  | - | -----------------------
|                                                         |  |   | 2016                   
|Beginning balance                                        |  | $ | —                      
|Additions based on tax positions related to current year |  |   | —                      
|Additions for tax positions of prior years               |  |   | —                      
|Reductions for tax positions of prior years              |  |   | —                      
|Reductions in benefit due to income tax expense          |  |   | —                      
|Ending balance                                           |  | $ | —                      



At December 31, 2016, the Company
had no unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.



The Company did not have any
tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase
or decrease within the next 12 months.



The Company includes interest
and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations in the provision for income
taxes.  As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.



The tax years that remain subject
to examination by major taxing jurisdictions are those for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, and since inception.



i. Concentrations of Credit Risk



Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places cash and cash equivalents
at well known quality financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents at banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
for up to $250,000. The Company did not have any cash or cash equivalents in excess of this amount at December 31, 2016 and 2015.



j. Going Concern



The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2016 the Company had negative working capital of
$2,544,065 and an accumulated deficit of $16,834,065. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern.



To date the Company has funded its
operations through a combination of loans and sales of common stock. The Company anticipates another net loss for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2017 and with the expected cash requirements for the coming year, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s
ability to continue operations.

The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.



k. Stock-based Compensation



The Company accounts for stock-based
compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments
to Non-Employees”. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever
is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based
payment transaction is determined on the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.



Share-based expense totaled $-0-
and $1,050,000 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.



l. Financial Instruments



The Company has adopted FASB ASC
820-10-50, “Fair Value Measurements.”  This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation
hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures.  The three
levels are defined as follows:



Level 1 inputs
to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.



Level 2 inputs
to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.



Level 3 inputs
to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.



The carrying amounts reported in
the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables and current liabilities (including derivative liabilities) each
qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination
of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.



NOTE 3 RELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS



The Company issued certain promissory
notes to related individuals and/or their companies as disclosed in Note 7. The individuals consist of an officer of the Company
and a director of the Company. The Company received advances of $-0- and $2,126, respectively; and made payments on these advances
of $-0- and $32,300, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

December 31, 2016 and 2015



For the years ended December 31,
2016 and 2015, interest expense on convertible notes was $38,010 and $11,160, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the
accrued interest payable was $16,468 and $8,405, respectively.



NOTE 5 DERIVATIVE LIABILITY



The Company analyzed the conversion
option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,”anddetermined
that the convertible notes should be classified as a liability since the conversion option becomes effective at issuance resulting
in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options. The Company
accounts for warrants as a derivative liability due to there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon
settlement of all conversion options.



The Company determined our derivative
liabilities to be a Level 2 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value as of December
31, 2016. The Black-Scholes model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk free
interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes
to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each convertible note and
warrant is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Assumptions used for the calculation of the derivative liability
of the notes at December 31, 2016 include (1) stock price of $0.0003 per share, (2) exercise price of $0.0001 per share, (3) term
between 28 and 310 days, (4) expected volatility between 177.91% and 368.72% and (5) risk free interest rate of between 0.15% and
27%.



The derivative liability at December
31, 2016 consisted of the following:



|                                                                                                                                                    |  | Note Face Value |         | Derivative Liability
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |  | --------------- | ------- | --------------------
|Convertible note payable to an entity, interest at 8%, due on February 25, 2016, in default, net of discount of $1,183 and $4,267, respectively (A) |  | $               | 52,500  |                     
|Convertible note payable to an entity, interest at 10%, due on April 29, 2016, in default, net of discount of $-0- and $15,648, respectively (C)    |  |                 | 53,500  |                     
|Totals                                                                                                                                              |  | $               | 106,000 |                     



The
above convertible notes contain a variable conversion feature based on the future trading price of the Company common stock. Therefore,
the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the note is indeterminate.Due to the convertible notes
described in Note 5 above, it was determined at December 31, 2016 that there was a derivative liability associated with these notes.
The amount of the derivative liability at December 31, 2016 was $323,889, which is reported on the balance sheet. The Company also
recorded a loss on the change in the fair value of the derivative liability of $184,803 on the statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 2016.

A Preferred Stock carries no dividend, distribution, liquidation, or rights of conversion into common stock, but holds 10,000,000
votes per share.



On October 1, 2015, the Company
issued to a former officer and director of the Company, 20,000,000 restricted shares of common stock. The shares were issued pursuant
to the conversion of $40,000 in outstanding debt held on the books and records of the Company. The 20,000,000 shares of common
stock were issued at $0.0048, resulting in a loss on conversion of debt of $56,000.

On January 8, 2016, the Company
amended and restated its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to be issued
to 5,000,000,000. The par value of both the Preferred Stock and common stock was also changed from $0.0001 to $0.00001.



During the year ended December 31,
2016, the Company issued 188,311,135 shares of its common stock for the conversion of notes payable and accrued interest in the
amount of $52,856.



NOTE 9 OPTIONS AND WARRANTS



The Company has adopted FASB ASC
718, “Share-Based Payments” (“ASC 718”) to account for its stock options. The Company estimates the fair
value of each stock award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used to calculate
the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and our experience. Compensation
expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on our historical
experience and future expectations.



On July 25, 2014, the board of
directors cancelled all of the vested and unvested options that it had granted pursuant to the Company's 2012 Equity
Incentive Plan.  10,500,000 options were granted on May 4, 2012 to certain directors, and cancelled on July 25,
2014.  Each grantee of active options consented to this cancellation.  As of the date of this report, the Company
has no outstanding options.  In addition, no options have ever been exercised by any option holder of the Company. The
cancellation also revoked any shares that would have vested in 2014 under the same plan. However, shares vested prior to
cancellation remain expensed amounting to $-0- in 2016 and 2015.



NOTE 10
GOING CONCERN



The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a working capital deficit, negative cash flows from
operations and has sustained net losses from inception which have resulted in an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2016 of $16,834,065
and has experienced periodic cash flow difficulties, all of which raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern.



To date the Company has funded its
operations through a combination of loans, related party notes and through the issuance of common stock for services. The Company
had a net loss of $331,231 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and with the expected cash requirements for the coming year, there
is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue operations.



The Company is attempting to improve
these conditions by way of financial assistance through issuances of additional equity and by generating revenues through sales
of products and services.



NOTE 11 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS



Subsequent to December 31, 2016,
the Company issued 140,800,000 shares of its common stock for the conversion of notes payable, convertible debentures and accrued
interest.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures



We maintain disclosure
controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



As of December 31, 2016,
the end of our fiscal year covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer
and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based
on the foregoing, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered
by this annual report. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has 2 members of the board of directors, and does not have a formal
audit committee.



Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting



Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control
include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized
use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly
to permit the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making this
assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Our management has concluded that, as of December
31, 2016, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US generally accepted
accounting principles. Our management reviewed the results of their assessment with our board of directors.



This annual report does
not include an attestation report of our company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant
to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit our company to provide only management’s report in this annual
report.



Inherent limitations on effectiveness of controls



Internal control over financial
reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance,
interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel
factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and

30


Table of Contents




is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns
resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management
override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements
on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible
to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be
effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 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 or procedures may deteriorate.



Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting



There have been no significant
changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2016 that have materially
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Board and other substantive matters requiring approval of the Company’s stockholders.



ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE



On August 13, 2015, Kenneth
I. Denos, the Company’s controlling shareholder assigned all 100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Control Stock”)
of Start Scientific, Inc. (the “Company”) to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Norris R. Harris.
The Control Stock is not convertible into common stock but collectively hold 1,000,000,000 voting rights and are entitled to vote
together with holders of common stock on all such matters upon which common stockholders may vote. As a result, as of December
31, 2016, Mr. Harris holds a controlling beneficial interest in the Company and may unilaterally determine the election of the
Board and other substantive matters requiring approval of the Company’s stockholders.



On January 2, 2015, the
Company entered into a Farmout Agreement with BPS Operating Services LLC, located in Jackson, Mississippi. The Company has until
April 1, 2015 to tender $500,000 for the first well to be drilled. The production interest includes 40 acres around the new well
and the Company will earn a 75% working interest before payout, and a 60% working interest after payout. All of the production
facilities, salt water disposal systems, and 33 well bores are in place. The Company may drill additional wells for $400,000 per
well within 60 days of completion of each previously drilled well completion. No payments towards this Farmout Agreement have been
made yet by the Company as of the date of this annual report. Arne Greaves, a director of the Company is also a principal of BPS

On January 21, 2015, the
Company entered into a Farmout Agreement with Durban Energy, Inc., located in Jackson, Mississippi. The Company has until July
10, 2015 to commence drilling a new well on the farmout acreage. The Company will receive 100% of the net revenue until payout
of all costs, at which time the Company will assign a 25% working interest to Durban and partners. There is a 30% royalty burden
on the leases, which means that before payout the Company will have 70% of net revenue and after payout the Company will have 52.5%
of net revenue and Durban will have 17.5% of net revenue. Each well will be treated separately for payout calculation. No payments
towards this FarmoutAgreement have been made yet by the Company as of the date of this annual report. Arne Greaves, a director
of the Company is also a principal of Durban Energy, Inc.



Director Independence



As of December 31, 2016,
Arne D. Greaves is the only Director considered to be independent, inasmuch as he does not beneficially hold greater than a 10%
ownership interest in our common stock and is unrelated to any of our shareholders who hold any such interest. We have not established
any board committees. We hope in the future to add at least one more independent director and establish one or more board committees
including, in particular, an audit committee.
