DIVERSIFIED RESOURCES INC.
 NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 January 31, 2014
   NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION





The interim consolidated financial statements of Diversified Resources, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, “Diversified”, or the “Company”) are unaudited and contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year or for previously reported periods due in part, but not limited to, interest rates, drilling risks, geological risks, the timing of acquisitions, and our ability to obtain additional capital. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in Diversified’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 13, 2014.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.





The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements.





Although, from a legal standpoint, we acquired NRG on November 21, 2013, for financial reporting purposes the acquisition of NRG constituted a recapitalization, and the acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger, whereby NRG was deemed to have acquired us.  Consequently, this report contains the historical financial statements of NRG for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013.  From and after November 21, 2013, our financial statements have been consolidated with those of NRG, our wholly owned subsidiary.





The consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but, in management's opinion, include all adjustments (which, unless otherwise noted, include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of such consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the entire fiscal year for any other period.





NOTE 2 – ORGANIZATION AND GOING CONCERN





Diversified Resources Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 19, 2009 to pursue mineral extraction in the United States.





Effective November 21, 2013 we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Natural Resource Group, Inc. in exchange for 14,558,150 shares of our common stock





NRG was incorporated in Colorado in 2000 but was relatively inactive until December 2010.  In December 2010, NRG acquired oil and gas wells, leases and other properties from Energy Oil and Gas, Inc.





The Company sustained operating losses during the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 and during the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company has a negative working capital in the amount of $772,790. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtaining additional financing from its shareholders or other sources, as may be required.

DIVERSIFIED RESOURCES INC.
 NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 January 31, 2014
   On June 15, 2009 the Company leased two mining claims in Esmerelda County, Nevada, in the Dunfee Mine Area.  The lease includes all additional claims within one mile of these claims.  The area was the subject of a geological report on September 11, 2009.  The term of the lease is for 20 years and renewable for additional 20 years assuming all conditions of the lease are met. The lease was terminated on November 21, 2013 in connection with the acquisition of NRG.





In November 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to exchange securities with Natural Resource Group, Inc. (“NRG”), an oil and gas exploration company, whereby the shareholders of NRG received 14,558,150 shares of Diversified Resources, Inc.’s $0.001 par value common shares. The President sold 2,680,033 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company for nominal consideration.  The shares purchased from the President were returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares. Additionally, the former principals of the Company assumed all of the debts of the Company at the date of the exchange. The exchange was consummated on November 21, 2013.





NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES





Principles of Consolidation





The accompanying consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of Diversified Resources, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Natural Resource Group, Inc. Any inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.





Cash and cash equivalents





The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.





Use of estimates





The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.  Estimates of oil and gas reserve quantities provide the basis for calculation of depletion, depreciation, and amortization, and impairment, each of which represents a significant component of the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.





Revenue Recognition





We recognize oil and gas revenue from interests in producing wells as the oil and gas is sold. Revenue from the purchase, transportation, and sale of natural gas is recognized upon completion of the sale and when transported volumes are delivered. We recognize revenue related to gas balancing agreements based on the sales method. Our net imbalance position at January 31, 2014 was immaterial.





Accounting for Oil and Gas Activities





Successful Efforts MethodWe account for crude oil and natural gas properties under the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method, costs to acquire mineral interests in crude oil and natural gas properties, drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, and drill and equip development wells are capitalized. Capitalized costs of producing crude oil and natural gas properties, along with support equipment and facilities, are amortized to expense by the unit-of-production method based on proved crude oil and natural gas reserves on a field-by-field basis, as estimated by our qualified petroleum engineers. Upon sale or retirement of depreciable or depletable property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization amounts are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

DIVERSIFIED RESOURCES INC.
 NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   Assets are grouped in accordance with the Extractive Industries - Oil and Gas Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The basis for grouping is a reasonable aggregation of properties with a common geological structural feature or stratigraphic condition, such as a reservoir or field.





Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DDA”) of the cost of proved oil and gas properties are calculated using the unit-of-production method. The reserve base used to calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization for leasehold acquisition costs and the cost to acquire proved properties is the sum of proved developed reserves and proved undeveloped reserves. With respect to lease and well equipment costs, which include development costs and successful exploration drilling costs, the reserve base includes only proved developed reserves. Estimated future dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs, net of salvage values, are taken into account.





Proved Property ImpairmentWe review individually significant proved oil and gas properties and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually at year-end, or quarterly when events and circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying values of such properties, such as a negative revision of reserves estimates or sustained decrease in commodity prices. We estimate future cash flows expected in connection with the properties and compare such future cash flows to the carrying amount of the properties to determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. When the carrying amount of a property exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying amount is reduced to estimated fair value. Fair value may be estimated using comparable market data, a discounted cash flow method, or a combination of the two. In the discounted cash flow method, estimated future cash flows are based on management’s expectations for the future and include estimates of future oil and gas production, commodity prices based on published forward commodity price curves as of the date of the estimate, operating and development costs, and a risk-adjusted discount rate.





Unproved Property Impairment Our unproved properties consist of leasehold costs and allocated value to probable and possible reserves from acquisitions. We assess individually significant unproved properties for impairment on a quarterly basis and recognize a loss at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. In determining whether a significant unproved property is impaired we consider numerous factors including, but not limited to, current exploration plans, favorable or unfavorable exploration activity on the property being evaluated and/or adjacent properties, our geologists' evaluation of the property, and the remaining months in the lease term for the property.





Exploration CostsGeological and geophysical costs, delay rentals, amortization of unproved leasehold costs, and costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves are expensed as oil and gas exploration. We carry the costs of an exploratory well as an asset if the well finds a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its capitalization as a producing well and as long as we are making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project.  Geological and geophysical costs were $21,817 and $16,520 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are included in Exploration Costs in the accompanying financial statements.





Asset Retirement ObligationsAsset retirement obligations consist of estimated costs of dismantlement, removal, site reclamation and similar activities associated with our oil and gas properties. We recognize the fair value of a liability for an ARO in the period in which it is incurred when we have an existing legal obligation associated with the retirement of our oil and gas properties that can reasonably be estimated, with the associated asset retirement cost capitalized as part of the carrying cost of the oil and gas asset.  The asset retirement cost is determined at current costs and is inflated into future dollars using an inflation rate that is based on the consumer price index. The future projected cash flows are then discounted to their present value using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate. After initial recording, the liability is increased for the passage of time, with the increase being reflected as accretion expense and included in our DD&A expense in the statement of operations. Subsequent adjustments in the cost estimate are reflected in the liability and the amounts continue to be amortized over the useful life of the related long-lived asset.





Property and Equipment





Property and equipment consists of production buildings, furniture, fixtures, equipment and vehicles which are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of five to fifteen years.


Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

DIVERSIFIED RESOURCES INC.
 NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 January 31, 2014






Impairment of Long Lived Assets





The long-lived assets of the Company consist primarily of proved oil and gas properties and undeveloped leaseholds. The Company reviews the carrying values of its oil and gas properties and undeveloped leaseholds annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable. If, upon review, the sum of the undiscounted pretax cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset group, the carrying value is written down to estimated fair value. Individual assets are grouped for impairment purposes at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets, generally on a field-by-field basis. The fair value of impaired assets is determined based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available, or upon the present values of expected future cash flows. The impairment analysis performed by the Company may utilize Level 3 inputs.





The Company did not record any property impairment in three months ended January 31, 2014 or 2013.





Income Taxes





We account for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes.  Under this standard, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when we cannot make the determination that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the related tax asset will be realized. Interest and penalties on tax deficiencies recognized in accordance with ACS accounting standards are classified as income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740.





The Company follows ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.





Contingent Liabilities





The Company records contingent liabilities when the amounts were incurred and determinable otherwise the Company will disclose the matter(s) and provide a range or best estimate of the contingency in the notes to the financial statements. There were no legal proceedings against the Company with respect to matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Neither the Company nor any of its officers or directors is involved in any other litigation either as plaintiffs or defendants, and have no knowledge of any threatened or pending litigation against them or any of the officers or directors. As of January 31, 2014, there were no contingent liabilities that required disclosure or accrual in the Company’s financial statements.





Loss Per Share





The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” Under the provisions of the standard, basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. During periods when losses occur common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered in the computation as their effect would be anti-dilutive.





Recent Accounting Pronouncements





The Company does not believe that any recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 January 31, 2014
   NOTE 4 – Notes Payable





Notes Payable Affiliates—In December 2010, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire certain oil and gas assets located in Adams, County, Broomfield, County, Huerfano County, Las Animas County, Morgan County and Weld County Colorado. The Company issued 2,500,000 shares of its $0.0001 par value Common Stock and a promissory note for $360,000 bearing interest at 10% with an original maturity date of March 1, 2011. The shares were valued at $1 per share based on sales of our common stock to third-parties. The promissory note is collateralized by the property and equipment transferred and was subsequently subrogated to a convertible promissory note on January 12, 2012.  On July 30, 2013, the maturity date of the note was extended to December 11, 2015.  The balance on the note is $107,070 at January 31, 2014, with interest accrued in the amount of $3,872.





NOTE 5 – Long-term Debt





Convertible Promissory Note—On January 12, 2012 the Company entered into a convertible promissory note bearing interest at 10%, due January 11, 2014 and was extended to July 17, 2014.  The note is collateralized by a first priority deed of trust in approximately 4,600 acres of oil and gas leasehold interests in the Garcia Field together with the existing wells and equipment in the field. The terms provide for an initial draw of $150,000 with the potential for two subsequent draws of $100,000 each. The Company has drawn $250,000 on the facility and the balance at January 31, 2014 was $248,895. The lender has the right to convert the principal to a working interest to a 10% working interest in the collateral as well as a 10% interest in all wells owned by the Company in the Garcia Field in which the lender does not have the 20% modified net profits interest described in Note 6.  In the event the principal is less than $350,000, the conversion shall be reduced proportionately. The Company has the right to prepay the note without penalties or fees after giving the lender ten days’ notice of its intent. If lender does elect to convert within 10 days after receiving said notice, the conversion rights terminate.  The Company recorded a discount to the debt of $136,599 and recognized accretion of the discount in the amounts of $15,712 and $15,712 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively. The company reviewed the conversion feature for beneficial conversion features and embedded derivatives, and determined that neither applied.





Convertible Promissory Note—On May 18, 2012 the Company entered into a $70,000 convertible promissory note bearing interest at 10%, due May 31, 2014. The note is collateralized by a second priority deed of trust on all the wells, equipment and approximately 4,600 acres of oil and gas leasehold interests in the Garcia Field. The lender has the right to convert the principal balance to a 2% working interest in the collateral or 70,000 shares of the Company’s $0.0001 par value common stock. In the event the principal is less than $70,000, the conversion shall be reduced proportionately. The Company has the right to prepay the note without penalties or fees after giving the lender ten days’ notice of its intent. If lender does elect to convert within 10 days after receiving said notice, the conversion rights terminate. The company reviewed the conversion feature for beneficial conversion features and embedded derivatives, and determined that neither applied.





Installment Loan—the Company entered into an installment loan on July 4, 2013 bearing interest of 5.39%. The loan is payable in monthly installments of $464 over 48 months commencing August 4, 2013.  The loan is collateralized by a vehicle.

   NOTE 6 – PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT





In connection with the convertible promissory note described in note 5, the Company entered into a participation agreement with a nonaffiliated company whereby the maker of the promissory note would advance up to $350,000 to conduct additional development of the underlying leases at the Garcia Field and drill and complete three additional wells on the acreage. As of January 31, 2014, $248,895 was advanced to the Company. In consideration of making the promissory note, the lender was assigned a 1% overriding royalty interest in the 4,600 acre field and a 20% modified net profits interest in the existing four producing wells in the Garcia Field and a 20% modified net profits interest in three additional wells to be drilled on said acreage. The Company valued the net profits interest and the overriding royalty interest at $136,599 using 10% present value over the estimated life of the wells. The amount was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the promissory note (3 years). Additionally, the lender has the right, at any point during the period of the note, to convert the remaining principal balance on the note to a working interest (see note 5).





The modified net profits interest is based on the gross proceeds from the sale of oil, gas and other minerals in the 4 producing wells in the Garcia Field and 3 additional wells to be drilled. The 20% is applied to 100% of the Company’s net revenue interest in the wells which cannot be less than 80% and is reduced by any of the following expenditures:





●
any overriding royalties or other burden on production in excess of the 80% net revenue interest;●
production, severance and similar taxes assessed by any taxing authority based on volume or value of the production;●
direct costs incurred in lifting oil or natural gas, or the operating or producing such wells excluding administrative, supervisory or other indirect costs,●
costs reasonably incurred to process the production for market;●
costs reasonably incurred in transportation, delivery, storage or marketing the production.





NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES





No provision was made for federal income tax for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, since the Company had net operating loss carryforwards.





NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY





The Company is authorized to issue 450,000,000 common shares of par value at $0.001 and 50,000,000 preferred shares of par value at $0.001.





In November 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to exchange securities with Natural Resource Group, Inc. (“NRG”), an oil and gas exploration company, whereby the shareholders of NRG received 14,558,150 shares of Diversified Resources, Inc.’s $0.001 par value common shares. The President sold 2,680,033 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company for nominal consideration.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS





The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2013 as filed with the SEC on February 13, 2014.





We were incorporated on March 19, 2009 in Nevada.  In 2009, we leased two unpatented mining claims located in Esmeralda County, Nevada.  In January 2011, we staked an additional twenty unpatented mining claims in the same area.  Due to the lack of capital, we  terminated the mining lease in November 2013. We have no plans to conduct any work on the unpatented mining claims.





On November 21, 2013 we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Natural Resource Group, Inc. in exchange for 14,558,150 shares of our common stock.





Unless otherwise indicated, all references to us include the operations of NRG.





NRG was incorporated in Colorado in 2000 but was relatively inactive until December 2010.  In December 2010, NRG acquired oil and gas wells, leases and other properties from Energy Oil and Gas, Inc.





In December 2010 NRG acquired oil and gas properties from Energy Oil and Gas, Inc. for 2,500,000 shares of its common stock and a promissory note in the principal amount of $360,000.  As of March 31, 2014, the principal amount of this note was $107,070.





Included as part of the acquisition were:





Garcia Field





●
leases covering 4,600 gross (4,600 net) acres,●
four wells which produce natural gas and naturals gas liquids;●
a refrigeration/compression plant which separates natural gas liquids from gas produced from the four wells; and●
one injection well;





Denver-Julesburg Basin





●
leases covering 1,400 gross (1,400 net) acres,●
three shut-in wells which need to be recompleted; and●
three producing oil and gas wells.





Subsequent to December 2010, leases covering 160 acres in the Garcia Field were sold and leases covering 960 acres in the Garcia Field expired.  In 2013, we acquired a 640 acre lease (100% working interest, 80% net revenue interest) in the D-J Basin.





The Garcia Field is located in Las Animas County, Colorado, approximately 10 miles from Trinidad, Colorado.





The Denver/Julesburg (“D-J”) Basin is located in Northeastern Colorado.

Undeveloped acreage includes leasehold interests on which wells have not been drilled or completed to the point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of natural gas and oil regardless of whether the leasehold interest is classified as containing proved undeveloped reserves.





As of March 31, 2014 we were not drilling, or reworking any oil or gas wells and one well in the Garcia Field was awaiting completion.





During the twelve months ending March 31, 2015, we plan to:





●
recomplete the three shut-in wells we acquired from Energy Oil and Gas, at a cost of approximately $130,000 per well;●
drill up to eight additional wells to the Sussex formation (5,700 feet) in the D-J Basin.  The cost to drill, and if warranted complete, each well will be approximately $350,000; and●
drill at least one well in the D-J Basin to the Codell/Niobrara formations (7,800 feet).  The cost to drill, and if warranted complete, the well will be approximately $800,000.





Results of Operations





In November 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to exchange securities with Natural Resource Group, Inc. (“NRG”), an oil and gas exploration company, whereby the shareholders of  NRG  received 14,558,150 shares of the Company’s common stock. The then President of the Company sold 2,680,033 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company for nominal consideration.  The 2,680,033 shares were returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares. Additionally, the former principals of the Company assumed all of the debts of the Company at the date of the exchange. The exchange was consummated on November 21, 2013 and was accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company whereby NRG was the accounting acquirer and issued 5,250,000 shares of common stock for the net assets of the Company.




The financial statements of NRG as of October 31, 2012 and July 31, 2013 were included as part of an 8-K report we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 22, 2013.  The 8-K can be reviewed on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).  NRG’s financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2013 will be filed as an amendment to the 8-K report.

Between December 2013 and March 31, 2014 we sold 857,750 shares of our common stock to a group of private investors for cash of $487,000.




As of March 31, 2014, operating expenses were approximately $41,200 per month, which amount includes salaries and other corporate overhead, but excludes expenses associated with drilling, completing or reworking wells, lease operating expenses and interest expense.




We estimate our capital requirements for the twelve months ending March 31, 2015 will be as follows:





●
Drilling, completing, and fracturing wells

$
1,740,000●
Install gathering line (1)

$
150,000●
Seismic work

$
120,000





(1)
If installed, the line will transport gas from the new wells we plan to drill and complete in the Garcia field to our refrigeration/compression plant.





Any cash generated by operations, after payment of general, administrative and lease operating expenses, will be used to drill and, if warranted, complete oil/gas/ngl wells, acquire oil and gas leases covering lands which are believed to be favorable for the production of oil, gas, and natural gas liquids, and to fund working capital reserves.  Our capital expenditure plans are subject to periodic revision based upon the availability of funds and expected return on investment.

Trends





The factors that will most significantly affect future operating results will be:





●
the sale prices of crude oil;●
the amount of production from oil, gas and gas liquids wells in which we have an interest;●
lease operating expenses;●
the availability of drilling rigs, drill pipe and other supplies and equipment required to drill and complete oil wells; and●
corporate overhead costs.





Revenues will also be significantly affected by our ability to maintain and increase oil, gas and natural gas liquids production.





Other than the foregoing, we do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that have had, or are reasonably expected to have, a material impact on our revenues or expenses.





It is expected that our principal source of cash flow will be from the sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which are depleting assets. Cash flow from the sale of oil/gas/ngl production depends upon the quantity of production and the price obtained for the production. An increase in prices will permit us to finance operations to a greater extent with internally generated funds, may allow us to obtain equity financing more easily or on better terms. However, price increases heighten the competition for oil prospects, increase the costs of exploration and development, and, because of potential price declines, increase the risks associated with the purchase of producing properties during times that prices are at higher levels.





A decline in hydrocarbon prices (i) will reduce cash flow which in turn will reduce the funds available for exploring for and replacing reserves, (ii) will increase the difficulty of obtaining equity and debt financing and worsen the terms on which such financing may be obtained, (iii) will reduce the number of  prospects which have reasonable economic terms, (iv) may cause us to permit leases to expire based upon the value of potential  reserves in relation to the costs of exploration, (v) may result in marginally productive wells being abandoned as non-commercial, and (vi) may increase the difficulty of obtaining financing. However, price declines reduce the competition for oil properties and correspondingly reduce the prices paid for leases and prospects.





We plan to generate profits by acquiring, drilling and/or completing productive wells.  However, we plan to obtain the funds required to drill, and if warranted, complete new wells with any net cash generated by operations, through the sale of securities, from loans from third parties or from third parties willing to pay our share of the cost of drilling and completing the wells as partners/participants in the resulting wells.  We do not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide it with any additional capital.  We may not be successful in raising the capital needed to drill oil wells.  Any wells which may be drilled may not produce oil.





Other than as disclosed above, we do not know of any:





●
trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in, any material increase or decrease in liquidity; or●
significant changes in expected sources and uses of cash.





Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates





See Note 3 to the financial statements included as part of this report for a description of our critical accounting policies.





Recent Accounting Pronouncements





We do not believe that any recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
