FORM 10-K/A



Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Saratoga Resources, Inc. (the Company) for the year ended December 31, 2013 as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2014 (the Original Filing).

This Form 10-K/A amends the Original Filing solely to include the Reserve Report of Independent Engineer  Collarini Associates which was omitted as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Filing. The report is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. This Form 10-K/A also amends Item 15 of Part IV to include new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because this Form 10-K/A includes no financial statements, we are not including certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Except for the amendment described above, we have not modified or updated disclosures presented in the Original Filing in this Form 10-K/A. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Therefore, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with any documents incorporated by reference therein and our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the Original Filing.
