Arkanova Energy Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Arkanova Energy Corporation (formerly Alton Ventures, Inc.) (“Arkanova” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 6, 2001 to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.

On May 21, 2013, the Nevada Secretary of State accepted for filing the articles of dissolution for the subsidiary Arkanova Development, LLC. Balances remaining were transferred to the intercompany accounts.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014. The accounting policies are described in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in the 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and updated, as necessary, in this Form 10-Q. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.

NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN

Arkanova is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas resource properties. Arkanova has incurred losses of $33,811,324 since inception at June 30, 2015. Management plans to raise additional capital through equity and/or debt financings. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding Arkanova’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3: SHORT TERM INVESTMENT

On November 22, 2014, the Company invested in a deposit for $25,125. The term of the investment is 12 months, maturing on November 22, 2015 and bears interest at a rate of 0.3% annually. Interest received on the investment during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 was $36. The investment is to secure a letter to the US Environmental Protection Agency for $23,595 for one of the Company’s wells.

On December 2, 2014, the Company invested in two deposits for $18,000 each. The term of the investments is 12 months, maturing on December 2, 2015 and bears interest at a rate of 0.3% annually. Interest received on the investments during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 was $56. The investments are to secure two letters to the US Environmental Protection Agency for $18,000 each for two of the Company’s wells.

On April 20, 2015, the Company invested in a deposit for $68,000. The term of the investment is 36 months, maturing on April 20, 2018 and bears interest at a rate of 0.6% annually. Interest received on the investments during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 was $0. The investment is to secure a letter to the US Environmental Protection Agency for $68,000 for four of the Company’s wells.

NOTE 4: OIL AND GAS INTERESTS

Arkanova is currently participating in oil and gas exploration activities in Montana. All of Arkanova’s oil and gas properties are located in the United States.

Proven and Developed Properties, Montana

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company incurred costs of $493,973 that were capitalized to their oil and gas properties. At June 30, 2015, the carrying value of the evaluated oil and gas properties exceeded the present value of the estimated future net revenue; therefore, an impairment of $898,861 (June 30, 2014 - $630,787) was recorded. The carrying value of Arkanova’s evaluated oil and gas properties at June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was $64,400 and $725,240, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded depletion of $255,953 (2014 - $343,356).

During the year ended September 30, 2014, the Company received $1,395,000 of project advances and $582,886 was re-allocated to oil and gas properties to offset against the costs for the other working interest partners. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company received an additional $2,025,000 of project advances and $397,321 was re-allocated to oil and gas properties to offset against the costs for the other working interest partners. As of June 30, 2015, $980,207 of the total project advances of $3,420,000 was re-allocated to oil and gas properties to offset against the costs for the other working interest partners. At June 30, 2015, the Company holds $2,439,793 of project advances shown as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet. These funds were received from the other working interest partners and will be used for costs to be incurred on the waterflood project and on drilling of Bekkan Well.

NOTE 7: NOTES PAYABLE

(a)	On November 15, 2013, the Company’s subsidiary entered into a Loan Modification Agreement to borrow an additional $1,705,000 for a total amount of $11,811,025, extend the maturity date from March 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015, and converted outstanding accrued interest of $466,815 into 4,668,152 shares of common stock at a deemed price of $0.10 per share. The common shares were issued on January 10, 2014.
	Arkanova evaluated the November 15, 2013 modification under the guidance found in ASC 470-50 and ASC 470-60 and determined that the carrying value of the 2012 Note did not exceed the total future cash payments of the 2013 Note and that the notes were not substantially different. As a result, it was concluded that the revised terms constituted a debt modification rather than a debt extinguishment and no gain or loss was recorded.
	On November 1, 2014, the Company’s subsidiary entered into a Loan Modification Agreement to borrow an additional $2,475,000 for a total loan amount of $14,963,861 which includes accrued interest of $677,836. In addition the maturity date was extended from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016 and the ability of the Company to pay interest in shares of the Company’s common stock was terminated.
	Arkanova evaluated the November 1, 2014 modification under the guidance found in ASC 470-50 and ASC 470-60 and determined that the carrying value of the 2013 Note did not exceed the total future cash payments of the 2014 Note and that the notes were not substantially different. As a result, it was concluded that the revised terms constituted a debt modification rather than a debt extinguishment and no gain or loss was recorded.
(b)	On June 25, 2013, the Company entered into a loan agreement in the amount of $79,300 to purchase equipment. The loan bears interest at 3.95% and is to be repaid in 48 equal monthly installments commencing July 28, 2013. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repaid a principal amount of $14,641 (2014 – $14,075). The balance of the loan is $41,227 at June 30, 2015 (September 30, 2014 - $55,867).

NOTE 8: COMMON STOCK

Common Stock

The Company did not issue any common shares during the nine months ended June 30, 2015.

Stock Options

On April 25, 2007, Arkanova adopted a stock option plan named the 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), the purpose of which is to attract and retain the best available personnel and to provide incentives to employees, officers, directors and consultants, all in an effort to promote the success of Arkanova. Prior to the grant of options under the 2007 Stock Option Plan, there were 5,000,000 shares of Arkanova’s common stock available for issuance under the plan.

On July 17, 2010, Arkanova amended and restated the 2008 Amended Stock Option Plan to revise the termination provision for vested Non-Qualified Stock Options. The termination date of vested Non-Qualified Stock Options was extended from a period of three months to a period of one year.

On November 1, 2014, Arkanova granted 100,000 stock options valued at $3,871 with immediate vesting to an employee to acquire 100,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.10 per share expiring in 5 years. The grant date fair value of the options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was $0.04 per share.

On May 1, 2015, Arkanova granted 225,000 stock options valued at $4,133 with immediate vesting to an employee to acquire 225,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.05 per share expiring in 5 years. The grant date fair value of the options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was $0.02 per share.

On June 1, 2015, Arkanova granted 100,000 stock options valued at $1,738 with immediate vesting to an employee to acquire 100,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.05 per share expiring in 5 years.

	Expected dividend yield	0.00%	0.00%	0.00%
	Expected volatility	206%	206%	205%
	Expected life (in years)	5.00	5.00	5.00
	Risk-free interest rate	1.62%	1.50%	1.55%

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, no stock options were exercised. Stock-based compensation of $9,742 (2014 - $101,967) was recorded for the nine months ended June 30, 2015. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, no stock options expired unexercised and 250,000 (2014 – nil) stock options were cancelled.

* On February 25, 2015, Arkanova amended the terms of the outstanding stock options to decrease the exercise prices from $0.10 to $0.05. The weighted average grant date fair value of the modified stock options was $0.02 and Arkanova recognized an additional stock-based compensation expense of $1,519 related to the modification.

The fair value of each option amendment was estimated on the date of the amendment using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

	Pre -	Post -
	Amendment	Amendment
Expected dividend yield	0.00%	0.00%
Expected volatility	220%	220%
Expected life (in years)	3.92	3.92
Risk-free interest rate	1.20%	1.20%

At June 30, 2015, there was $0 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. There was $0 intrinsic value associated with the outstanding options at June 30, 2015.

NOTE 9: COMMITMENTS

See Note 7.

(a)

The Company, as an owner or lessee and operator of oil and gas properties, is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment. These laws and regulations may, among other things, impose liability on the lessee under an oil and gas lease for the cost of pollution clean-up resulting from operations and subject the lessee to liability for pollution damages. In some instances, the Company may be directed to suspend or cease operations in the affected area. The Company maintains insurance coverage, which it believes is customary in the industry, although the Company is not fully insured against all environmental risks. The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of June 30, 2015, which have not been provided for, covered by insurance or otherwise have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. There can be no assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change, or past noncompliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on the Company’s properties.

On December 14, 2012, the Company reached a preliminary settlement with Ms. Billie Eustice, whereby it is contemplated that the Company will pay Ms. Eustice $150,000 over four years beginning January 28, 2013 in 48 equal monthly installments in settlement of all outstanding matters and issues between Ms. Eustice and the Company, including the balance owing on the consulting agreement in the amount of $125,000, oil barrels in the tanks at time of purchase, and a refund of $12,000 that was a tax refund prior to the purchase of Provident Energy and cashed by Provident Energy after the purchase. During the year ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a loss of $29,165 on settlement of debt which represents the difference between the amount recorded in accounts payable before the settlement and the agreed settlement amount of $150,000.

Revenues

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2015, our revenues decreased by $117,555 (approximately 56%) compared to the same period in 2014 due to the decrease in oil pricing.

During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2015, our revenues decreased by $293,065 (approximately 49%) compared to the same period in 2014 due to the decrease in oil pricing.

Expenses

Operating expenses decreased by $204,334 (approximately 19%) during the three-months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 because of a reduction in oil and gas production costs due to the closure of several marginal producing wells. Interest expenses increased by $47,266 (approximately 24%) during the three-months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 because of the increased loan principal.

Operating expenses decreased by $133,490 (approximately 5%) during the nine-months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 because of a reduction in oil and gas production costs due to the closure of several marginal producing wells. Interest expenses increased by $142,121 (approximately 27%) during the nine-months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 because of additional loan proceeds received during the nine-months ended June 30, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

We had cash and cash equivalents of $3,093,305 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $646,814 as at our financial year-end of September 30, 2014. This increase is largely due to additional loan proceeds of $2,475,000 and project advance of $ 2,025,000 received during the nine months ended June 30, 2015.

Significant changes in balance sheets items

Prepaid expenses and other

At June 30, 2015, our company has $309,657 of prepaid expenses and other assets compared to $609,512 at September 30, 2014. The balance consists of an amount receivable from our company’s working interest partners and other prepaid expenses. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, our company received $126,582 from Aton and $432,278 from Knightwall. At June 30, 2015, $63,479 is receivable from Aton compared to $135,231 at September 30, 2014. At June 30, 2015, $222,176 is receivable from Knightwall compared to $462,550 at September 30, 2014.

Project advances

In the spring of 2014, the US Environmental Protection Agency issued an injection well permit to Provident Energy of Montana, LLC, Arkanova’s 100% owned subsidiary, for the purpose of water injection into the MAX 1 well #2817. The permit allowed our company to commence the re-activation of waterflood operations on our company’s Montana lease acreage, The Two Medicine Cut Bank Sand Unit. Waterflood operations started in October 2014 and are continuing as of the date of this report.

11

---

During the year ended September 30, 2014, the Company received $1,395,000 of project advances and $582,886 was re-allocated to oil and gas properties to offset against the costs for the other working interest partners. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company received an additional $2,025,000 of project advances and $397,321 was re-allocated to oil and gas properties to offset against the costs for the other working interest partners. As of June 30, 2015, $980,207 of the total project advances of $3,420,000 was re-allocated to oil and gas properties to offset against the costs for the other working interest partners. At June 30, 2015, the Company holds $2,439,793 of project advances shown as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet. We intend on using these funds for costs incurred on the waterflood project and on drilling of the new Bekkan well.

Estimated Expenses for the Next 12-Month Period

We anticipate that we will require approximately $4,000,000 for operating expenses during the next 12 months as set out below.

Our company’s principal cash requirements are for new infield well drilling development and current well reactivations. We anticipate such expenses will rise as we proceed to determine the feasibility of developing our current or future property interests. However, the price of crude oil has declined over the last twelve months, a trend that accelerated sharply in the fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014. As a result, we don’t anticipate incurring significant exploration and development costs on the vertical Bakken test well until the third fiscal quarter of 2016.

We estimate that we will require approximately $4,000,000 over the next 12-month period to fund our plan of operations. Our company plans to raise the capital required to satisfy our immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet our estimated funding requirements for the next 12-months primarily through the private placement of our equity securities and debt arrangements. There is no assurance that our company will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued working capital requirements. The ability of our company to meet our financial liabilities and commitments is primarily dependent upon the continued financial support of our directors and shareholders, the continued issuance of equity to new shareholders, and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further long-term financing, successful exploration of our property interests, the identification of reserves sufficient enough to warrant development, successful development of our property interests and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2014, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

Outstanding Promissory Note

On August 6, 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary, Arkanova Acquisition Corporation (“Acquisition Corp.”), entered into a Loan Modification Agreement and an Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement with Aton Select Funds Limited (“Aton”) which were effective as of July 1, 2012, whereby Aton agreed to increase the amount outstanding under the an outstanding 2011 promissory note by $1,000,000.00 (the “2012 Additional Loan Amount”) and consolidate the remaining balance under the 2011 promissory note and the 2012 Additional Loan Amount into one new amended and restated promissory note in the principal amount of $8,315,000.00 (the “2012 Note”).

12

---

The 2012 Note accrued interest at the rate of 6% per annum, was due and payable on June 30, 2013, was secured by a pledge of all of our subsidiary’s interest in its wholly owned subsidiary, Provident Energy Associates of Montana, LLC (“Provident”). Interest on the 2012 Note was payable 10 days after maturity in shares of our common stock. The number of shares of our common stock payable as interest on the 2012 Note was determined by dividing $498,900 by the average stock price for our common stock over the 15 business day period immediately preceding the date on which the 2012 Note matured. Our subsidiary’s obligations under the 2012 Note were guaranteed by our company pursuant to a guaranty agreement dated as of July 1, 2012.

Effective February 6, 2013, Acquisition Corp. further modified its loan with Aton effective such that Aton increased the amount outstanding under the 2012 Note by $1,500,000.00 (the “2013 Additional Loan Amount”) and consolidated the remaining balance, including accrued interest from July 1, 2012 to February 6, 2013 equal to approximately $291,025, under the 2012 Note and the 2013 Additional Loan Amount into one new amended and restated promissory note in the principal amount of $10,106,025.00 (the “2013 Note”). The 2013 Note bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum, was initially due and payable on March 31, 2014, and is secured by a pledge of all of our wholly owned subsidiary’s interest in its wholly owned subsidiary, Provident. Interest on the 2013 Note was payable 10 days after maturity in shares of our common stock. On February 8, 2013, we received $500,000 of the 2013 Additional Loan Amount. We received the $1,000,000 balance on June 4, 2013, completing delivery of the loan proceeds.

On November 22, 2013, our company and Acquisition Corp. entered into another note amendment and interest conversion agreement with Aton effective November 15, 2013, whereby: (i) Aton agreed to increase the amount outstanding under the 2013 Note by $1,705,000.00 such that the outstanding principal balance under the 2013 Note equaled $11,811,025.00; (ii) Aton converted the outstanding accrued interest equal to $466,815.29 into 4,668,152 shares of our common stock at a deemed price of $0.10 per share; and (iii) Aton agreed to extend the maturity date under the 2013 Note from March 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015. The 2013 Note was deemed to be amended in all manners and respects in order to effect the additional loan amount, the conversion and the extension and, in all other respects, the 2013 Note remained unchanged and in full force and effect.

On November 1, 2014, our company and Acquisition Corp. entered into another note amendment agreement with Aton effective November 1, 2014, whereby the parties agreed:

	(a)	the maturity date under the 2013, as amended, extended from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016 (the “Extension”),
	(b)	the current outstanding accrued interest under the 2013 Note equal to $677,836.40 was added to the principal amount of the Note (the “Added Interest”),
	(c)	Aton agreed to loan to Acquisition Corp. an additional $2,475,000.00 (the “Additional Loan Amount”) such that the outstanding balance under the Note (including the Added Interest) equals $14,963,861.40 (the “Amended Principal Amount”), and
	(d)	the sections of the 2013 Note with respect to payment of interest in shares of our common were deleted such that interest payments in shares of our common stock were no longer allowed (the “Interest Payment Amendment”).

The 2013 Note was deemed to be amended in all manners and respects related to the Additional Loan Amount, the Extension and the Interest Payment Amendment and, in all other respects, the 2013 Note, as amended, remained unchanged and in full force and effect.

Drilling, Remediation and Seismic Costs

We estimate that our exploration and development costs on our property interests will be approximately $600,000 during the next 12 months. As a result of the decline in the price of crude oil over the last twelve months, a trend that accelerated sharply in the fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014, we don’t anticipate incurring significant exploration and development costs on the vertical Bakken test well until the third fiscal quarter of 2016.

13

---

We will need to obtain additional equity funding, and possibly additional debt funding as well, in order to be able to obtain the needed funds. Alternatively, we may be required to farmout a working interest in some of our acreage to a third party. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or alternatively that we will be able to negotiate a farmout arrangement on terms acceptable to us.

Estimated Timeline of Waterflood Project and Other Activity on Property:

	Date	Objective
	10/01/2014	Began waterflood operations
	Completed
	12/31/2015	Estimated completion of pilot waterflood construction. Permitting and weather will effect this timeline.
	10/01/2016	Drill vertical Bakken test well #1021 (Southern Star)

Employee and Consultant Compensation

We intend to continue to outsource our professional and personnel requirements by retaining consultants on an as needed basis. We estimate that our consultant and related professional compensation expenses for the next 12-month period will be approximately $700,000.

On November 11, 2014, we entered into an executive employment agreement effective October 1, 2014 with Pierre Mulacek, our chief executive officer, president and a director of our company. We agreed to pay an annual salary of $240,000 to Mr. Mulacek in consideration for him carrying out his duties as an executive of our company. Mr. Mulacek disclosed his interest with respect to the executive employment agreement and abstained from voting on the approval of the agreement. The agreement replaces a former written agreement effective July 17, 2012, as amended on March 1, 2014 (reducing Mr. Mulacek’s salary from $240,000 to $135,000 per annum), which expired on July 17, 2014. The parties had continued under the terms of the former written agreement and sought to document the terms with an updated written agreement on the same terms of the former agreement. The only term of the new executive employment agreement that has been revised is the compensation has returned to $240,000 per annum.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, and in the event our company undergoes a Change of Control Event (as defined in the agreement and described below), the agreement will automatically terminate and our company is required to pay to Mr. Mulacek an amount equal to the total of:

	(a)	$360,000 (calculated as 18-months’ salary payable under the agreement); and
	(b)	the cost for a period of 18 months to obtain family and/or spousal health insurance that is similar in coverage to that provided to Mr. Mulacek as of the date of the change of control.

On November 11, 2014, we also entered into an executive employment agreement effective October 1, 2014 with Reginald Denny, our chief financial officer and a director of our company. We agreed to pay an annual salary of $175,000 to Mr. Denny in consideration for him carrying out his duties as an executive of our company. Mr. Denny disclosed his interest with respect to the executive employment agreement and abstained from voting on the approval of the agreement. The agreement also replaces a former written agreement effective July 17, 2012, as amended effective October 1, 2013 (reducing Mr. Denny’s salary from $190,000 to $175,000 per annum), which also expired on July 17, 2014. The parties had continued under the terms of the former written agreement and sought to document the terms with an updated written agreement on the same terms of the former agreement. Under the new executive employment agreement, Mr. Denny’s compensation remains at $175,000.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, and in the event our company undergoes a Change of Control Event (as defined in the agreement and described below), the agreement will automatically terminate and our company is required to pay to Mr. Denny an amount equal to the total of:

(a)

$262,500 (calculated as 18-months’ salary payable under the agreement); and

14

---

(b)

the cost for a period of 18 months to obtain family and/or spousal health insurance that is similar in coverage to that provided to Mr. Denny as of the date of the change of control.

Under both executive employment agreements, a Change of Control Event means the occurrence of any one of the following events:

	1.	the acquisition, other than from our company, of beneficial ownership of 50% or more of either the then outstanding shares of common stock of our company or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of our company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;
	2.	the approval by the stockholders of our company of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of our company in which the individuals and entities who were the respective beneficial owners of the common stock and voting securities immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not, following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation; or
	3.	a liquidation or dissolution of our company or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of our company, which, for greater certainty, is deemed to occur in the event our company sells or disposes of all or substantially all of the assets of a subsidiary of our company.

Professional Fees

We expect to incur on-going legal, accounting and audit expenses to comply with our reporting responsibilities as a public company under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in addition to general legal fees for oil and gas and general corporate matters. We estimate our legal and accounting expenses for the next 12-months to be approximately $100,000.

General and Administrative Expenses

We anticipate spending $800,000 on general and administrative costs in the next 12-month period. These costs primarily consist of expenses such as lease payments, office supplies, insurance, travel, office expenses and other expenses.

Cash Flows

Cash Used In Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $358,976 (approximately 27%) during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The reason for the decrease is due to the payments received from our company’s working interest partners.

Cash Provided by Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities increased by $304,304 (approximately 44%) during the nine months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The reason for the increase is due to the additional project advances our company received from its working interest partners during the nine months ended June 30, 2015.

15

---

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $772,142 (approximately 44%) compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The reason for the increase is due to the additional loan proceeds received during the nine months ended June 30, 2015.

Capital Expenditures

As of June 30, 2015, our company did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

On November 1, 2014, our company and our wholly owned subsidiary, Arkanova Acquisition Corporation (“Acquisition Corp.”), entered into a note amendment agreement with Aton Select Funds Limited (“Aton”) to be effective November 1, 2014, whereby the parties agreed:

	(a)	the maturity date under the amended and restated secured promissory note issued by Arkanova Corp. to Aton as of February 6, 2013, as amended November 15th, 2013 (the “Note”) shall be extended from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016 (the “Extension”),
	(b)	the current outstanding accrued interest under the Note equal to US$677,836.40 shall be added to the principal amount of the Note (the “Added Interest”),
	(c)	Aton shall loan to Acquisition Corp. an additional US$2,475,000.00 (the “Additional Loan Amount”) such that the outstanding balance under the Note (including the Added Interest) equals US$14,963,861.40 (the “Amended Principal Amount”), and
	(d)	the sections of the Note with respect to payment of interest in shares of our common be deleted such that interest payments in shares of our common stock is no longer allowed (the “Interest Payment Amendment”).

The Note will be deemed to be amended in all manners and respects related to the Additional Loan Amount, the Extension and the Interest Payment Amendment and, in all other respects, the Note will remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

The Shares were issued pursuant to Regulation S of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to Aton on the basis that Aton represented that it is not a U.S Person as such term is defined in Regulation S.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described in this report have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these matters, actual results could differ from the estimates we use in applying the critical accounting policies. Certain of these critical accounting policies affect working capital account balances, including the policies for revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves and income taxes. These policies require that we make estimates in the preparation of our financial statements as of a given date.

16

---

Within the context of these critical accounting policies, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in materially different amounts being reported.

Going Concern

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on the annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2014, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. We are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due

Oil and Gas Properties

We utilize the full-cost method of accounting for petroleum and natural gas properties. Under this method, we capitalizes all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves, including leasehold acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties and costs of drilling of productive and non-productive wells into the full cost pool on a country by country basis. As of June 30, 2015, we had properties with proven reserves. When we obtain proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves proved and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. The costs of unproved properties are not amortized until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. We assess the property at least annually to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. In assessing impairment, we consider factors such as historical experience and other data such as primary lease terms of the property, average holding periods of unproved property, and geographic and geologic data. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, an impairment of $898,861 (June 30, 2014 - $630,787) was recorded.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We account for asset retirement obligations in accordance with ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations.

ASC 410-20 requires us to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which we incur an obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. Asset retirement obligations consists of estimated final well closure and associated ground reclamation costs to be incurred by us in the future once the economic life of our oil and gas wells are reached. The estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation is based on the current cost escalated at an inflation rate and discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate. This liability is capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized over its useful life. The liability accretes until we settle the obligation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The ineffectiveness of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures was due to the existence of material weaknesses identified in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 2014 and our amended annual report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 2015.

The disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company’s management, including our company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Much of the information included in this annual report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other forward looking statements. Such forward looking statements include any projections and estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

18

---

Such estimates, projections or other forward looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other forward looking statements.

Risks Relating to our Business and the Oil and Gas Industry

An extended decline in oil prices may affect the commercial viability of our projects and may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The price of crude oil has declined over the last twelve months, a trend that accelerated sharply in the fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to a less optimistic forecast of worldwide economic growth and increased global oil and gas production. The commercial viability of our exploration and development projects is highly dependent on the price of oil. Prices also affect our ability to borrow money or raise additional capital. We will need to obtain additional financing to fund our operating activities. Our ability to do so may be adversely affected by an extended decline in oil prices. If we are unable to obtain such financing when needed, on commercially reasonable terms, we may be required to cease or curtail our operations, which could have a materially adverse impact on the market price of our stock. An extended decline in oil prices may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and our ability to meet our capital expenditure obligations and financial commitments.

We have a history of losses and this trend may continue and may negatively affect our ability to achieve our business objectives.

We have experienced net losses since inception, and expect to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. Our accumulated deficit was $33,811,324 as at June 30, 2015. We may not be able to generate significant revenues in the future and our company has incurred increased operating expenses following the recent commencement of production. As a result, our management expects our business to continue to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future and cannot predict when, if ever, our business might become profitable. We will need to raise additional funds, and such funds may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. This may seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have a relatively limited operating history, which may hinder our ability to successfully meet our objectives.

We have a relatively limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects. We have commenced production in the year ended September 30, 2008 and we do not have an established history of operating producing properties or locating and developing properties that have oil and gas reserves. As a result, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven. In addition, because of our relatively limited operating history, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. Errors may be made in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends and we will be subject to the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in evolving markets. We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks and uncertainties. Failure to adequately do so could cause our business, results of operations and financial condition to suffer.

Our operations and proposed exploration activities will require significant capital expenditures for which we may not have sufficient funding and if we do obtain additional financing, our existing shareholders may suffer substantial dilution.

We intend to make capital expenditures far in excess of our existing capital resources to develop, acquire and explore oil and gas properties. We intend to rely on funds from operations and external sources of financing to meet our capital requirements to continue acquiring, exploring and developing oil and gas properties and to otherwise implement our business plan. We plan to obtain additional funding through the debt and equity markets, but we can offer no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when it is required or that it will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.

19

---

The successful implementation of our business plan is subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas business, which if not adequately managed could result in additional losses.

Our oil and gas operations are subject to the economic risks typically associated with exploration and development activities, including the necessity of making significant expenditures to locate and acquire properties and to drill exploratory wells. In addition, the availability of drilling rigs and the cost and timing of drilling, completing and, if warranted, operating wells is often uncertain. In conducting exploration and development activities, the presence of unanticipated pressure or irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploration, development and, if warranted, production activities to be unsuccessful. This could result in a total loss of our investment in a particular well. If exploration efforts are unsuccessful in establishing proved reserves and exploration activities cease, the amounts accumulated as unproved costs will be charged against earnings as impairments.

In addition, market conditions or the unavailability of satisfactory oil and gas transportation arrangements may hinder our access to oil and gas markets and delay our production. The availability of a ready market for our prospective oil and gas production depends on a number of factors, including the demand for and supply of oil and gas and the proximity of reserves to pipelines and other facilities. Our ability to market such production depends in substantial part on the availability and capacity of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities, in most cases owned and operated by third parties. Our failure to obtain such services on acceptable terms could materially harm our business. We may be required to shut in wells for lack of a market or a significant reduction in the price of oil or gas or because of inadequacy or unavailability of pipelines or gathering system capacity. If that occurs, we would be unable to realize revenue from those wells until arrangements are made to deliver such production to market.

Our future performance is dependent upon our ability to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas properties, the failure of which could result in under use of capital and losses.

Our future performance depends upon our ability to identify, acquire and develop additional oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable. Our success will depend upon our ability to acquire working and revenue interests in properties upon which oil and gas reserves are ultimately discovered in commercial quantities, and our ability to develop prospects that contain proven oil and gas reserves to the point of production. Without successful acquisition and exploration activities, we will not be able to develop additional oil and gas reserves or generate additional revenues. We cannot provide you with any assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire additional oil and gas reserves on acceptable terms, or that oil and gas deposits will be discovered in sufficient quantities to enable us to recover our exploration and development costs or sustain our business.

The successful acquisition and development of oil and gas properties requires an assessment of recoverable reserves, future oil and gas prices and operating costs, potential environmental and other liabilities, and other factors. Such assessments are necessarily inexact and their accuracy inherently uncertain. In addition, no assurance can be given that our exploration and development activities will result in the discovery of additional reserves. Our operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of lack of adequate capital and other factors, such as lack of availability of rigs and other equipment, title problems, weather, compliance with governmental regulations or price controls, mechanical difficulties, or unusual or unexpected formations, pressures and or work interruptions. In addition, the costs of exploitation and development may materially exceed our initial estimates.

We have a very small management team and the loss of any member of our team may prevent us from implementing our business plan in a timely manner.

We have two executive officers and a limited number of additional consultants upon whom our success largely depends. We maintain a key person life insurance policy on our president and CEO, but not on anyone else, nor any consultants, the loss of which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In such an event, we may not be able to recruit personnel to replace our executive officers or consultants in a timely manner, or at all, on acceptable terms.

20

---

Future growth could strain our personnel and infrastructure resources, and if we are unable to implement appropriate controls and procedures to manage our growth, we may not be able to successfully implement our business plan.

We expect to experience growth in our operations, which will place a significant strain on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our future success will depend in part upon the ability of our management to manage growth effectively. This may require us to hire and train additional personnel to manage our expanding operations. In addition, we must continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. If we fail to successfully manage our growth, we may be unable to execute upon our business plan.

Market conditions or operation impediments may hinder our access to natural gas and oil markets or delay our production.

The marketability of production from our properties depends in part upon the availability, proximity and capacity of pipelines, natural gas gathering systems and processing facilities. This dependence is heightened where this infrastructure is less developed. Therefore, if drilling results are positive in certain areas of our oil and gas properties, a new gathering system would need to be built to handle the potential volume of oil and gas produced. We might be required to shut in wells, at least temporarily, for lack of a market or because of the inadequacy or unavailability of transportation facilities. If that were to occur, we would be unable to realize revenue from those wells until arrangements were made to deliver production to market.

Our ability to produce and market natural gas and oil is affected and also may be harmed by:

• the lack of pipeline transmission facilities or carrying capacity;
• government regulation of natural gas and oil production;
• government transportation, tax and energy policies;
• changes in supply and demand; and
• general economic conditions.

We might incur additional debt in order to fund our exploration and development activities, which would continue to reduce our financial flexibility and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

When we incur indebtedness, the ability to meet our debt obligations and reduce our level of indebtedness depends on future performance. General economic conditions, oil and gas prices and financial, business and other factors affect our operations and future performance. Many of these factors are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to pay the interest on our current or future debt or that future working capital, borrowings or equity financing will be available to pay or refinance such debt. Factors that will affect our ability to raise cash through an offering of our capital stock or a refinancing of our debt include financial market conditions, the value of our assets and performance at the time we need capital. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient funds to make such payments. If we do not have sufficient funds and are otherwise unable to negotiate renewals of our borrowings or arrange new financing, we might have to sell significant assets. Any such sale could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Our properties in Colorado and Montana and/or future properties might not produce, and we might not be able to determine reserve potential, identify liabilities associated with the properties or obtain protection from sellers against them, which could cause us to incur losses.

Although we have reviewed and evaluated our properties in Colorado and Montana in a manner consistent with industry practices, such review and evaluation might not necessarily reveal all existing or potential liabilities. This is also true for any future acquisitions made by us. Inspections may not always be performed on every well, and environmental problems, such as groundwater contamination, are not necessarily observable even when an inspection is undertaken. Even when problems are identified, a seller may be unwilling or unable to provide effective contractual protection against all or part of those problems, and we may assume environmental and other risks and liabilities in connection with the acquired properties.

21

---

If we or our operators fail to maintain adequate insurance, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

Our operations are subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas industry, such as blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, fires, pollution, earthquakes and other environmental risks. These risks could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage, and suspension of operations. We could be liable for environmental damages caused by previous property owners. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Any prospective drilling contractor or operator that we hire will be required to maintain insurance of various types to cover our operations with policy limits and retention liability customary in the industry. We also have acquired our own insurance coverage for such prospects. The occurrence of a significant adverse event on such prospects that is not fully covered by insurance could result in the loss of all or part of our investment in a particular prospect which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive, and we may not have sufficient resources to compete effectively.

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. We compete with oil and natural gas companies and other individual producers and operators, many of which have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and other resources than we do, as well as companies in other industries supplying energy, fuel and other needs to consumers. Our larger competitors, by reason of their size and relative financial strength, can more easily access capital markets than we can and may enjoy a competitive advantage in the recruitment of qualified personnel. They may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in laws and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we do business and handle longer periods of reduced prices for oil and gas more easily than we can. Our competitors may be able to pay more for oil and gas leases and properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of leases and properties than we can. Further, these companies may enjoy technological advantages and may be able to implement new technologies more rapidly than we can. Our ability to acquire additional properties in the future will depend upon our ability to conduct efficient operations, evaluate and select suitable properties, implement advanced technologies and consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.

Complying with environmental and other government regulations could be costly and could negatively impact our production.

Our business is governed by numerous laws and regulations at various levels of government. These laws and regulations govern the operation and maintenance of our facilities, the discharge of materials into the environment and other environmental protection issues. Such laws and regulations may, among other potential consequences, require that we acquire permits before commencing drilling and restrict the substances that can be released into the environment with drilling and production activities.

Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injury, clean-up costs and other environmental and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Prior to commencement of drilling operations, we may secure limited insurance coverage for sudden and accidental environmental damages as well as environmental damage that occurs over time. However, we do not believe that insurance coverage for the full potential liability of environmental damages is available at a reasonable cost. Accordingly, we could be liable, or could be required to cease production on properties, if environmental damage occurs.

The costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations could result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

22

---

Shortages of rigs, equipment, supplies and personnel could delay or otherwise adversely affect our cost of operations or our ability to operate according to our business plans.

If drilling activity increases in Colorado, Montana or the southern United States generally, a shortage of drilling and completion rigs, field equipment and qualified personnel could develop. The demand for and wage rates of qualified drilling rig crews generally rise in response to the increasing number of active rigs in service and could increase sharply in the event of a shortage. Shortages of drilling and completion rigs, field equipment or qualified personnel could delay, restrict or curtail our exploration and development operations, which could in turn harm our operating results.

We will be required to replace, maintain or expand our reserves in order to prevent our reserves and production from declining, which would adversely affect cash flows and income.

In general, production from natural gas and oil properties declines over time as reserves are depleted, with the rate of decline depending on reservoir characteristics. If we are not successful in our exploration and development activities, our proved reserves will decline as reserves are produced. Our future natural gas and oil production is highly dependent upon our ability to economically find, develop or acquire reserves in commercial quantities.

To the extent cash flow from operations is reduced, either by a decrease in prevailing prices for natural gas and oil or an increase in exploration and development costs, and external sources of capital become limited or unavailable, our ability to make the necessary capital investment to maintain or expand our asset base of natural gas and oil reserves would be impaired. Even with sufficient available capital, our future exploration and development activities may not result in additional proved reserves, and we might not be able to drill productive wells at acceptable costs.

The geographic concentration of all of our other properties in Colorado and Montana subjects us to an increased risk of loss of revenue or curtailment of production from factors affecting those areas.

The geographic concentration of all of our leasehold interests in Lone Mesa State Park, Colorado and Pondera and Glacier Counties, Montana means that our properties could be affected by the same event should the region experience:

• severe weather;
• delays or decreases in production, the availability of equipment, facilities or services;
• delays or decreases in the availability of capacity to transport, gather or process production; or
• changes in the regulatory environment.

The oil and gas exploration and production industry historically is a cyclical industry and market fluctuations in the prices of oil and gas could adversely affect our business.

Prices for oil and gas tend to fluctuate significantly in response to factors beyond our control. These factors include:

• weather conditions in the United States and wherever our property interests are located;
• economic conditions, including demand for petroleum-based products, in the United States wherever our property interests are located;
• actions by OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries;
• political instability in the Middle East and other major oil and gas producing regions;
• governmental regulations, both domestic and foreign;
• domestic and foreign tax policy;
• the pace adopted by foreign governments for the exploration, development, and production of their national reserves;
• the price of foreign imports of oil and gas;
• the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and gas;

23

---

• the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves;
• the rate of decline of existing and new oil and gas reserves;
• available pipeline and other oil and gas transportation capacity;
• the ability of oil and gas companies to raise capital;
• the overall supply and demand for oil and gas; and
• the availability of alternate fuel sources.

Changes in commodity prices may significantly affect our capital resources, liquidity and expected operating results. Price changes will directly affect revenues and can indirectly impact expected production by changing the amount of funds available to reinvest in exploration and development activities. Reductions in oil and gas prices not only reduce revenues and profits, but could also reduce the quantities of reserves that are commercially recoverable. Significant declines in prices could result in non-cash charges to earnings due to impairment.

Changes in commodity prices may also significantly affect our ability to estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and divestiture and often cause disruption in the market for oil and gas producing properties, as buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on the value of the properties. Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions and the exploration and development of projects. We expect that commodity prices will continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.

Our ability to produce oil and gas from our properties may be adversely affected by a number of factors outside of our control, which may result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The business of exploring for and producing oil and gas involves a substantial risk of investment loss. Drilling oil and gas wells involves the risk that the wells may be unproductive or that, although productive, the wells may not produce oil or gas in economic quantities. Other hazards, such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, pressures, fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids or other conditions may substantially delay or prevent completion of any well. Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic if water or other deleterious substances are encountered that impair or prevent the production of oil or gas from the well. In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances. There can be no assurance that oil and gas will be produced from the properties in which we have interests. In addition, the marketability of oil and gas that may be acquired or discovered may be influenced by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas, gathering systems, pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations in oil and gas prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection. We cannot predict how these factors may affect our business.

We may be unable to retain our leases and working interests in our leases, which would result in significant financial losses to our company.

Our properties are held under oil and gas leases. If we fail to meet the specific requirements of each lease, such lease may terminate or expire. We cannot assure you that any of the obligations required to maintain each lease will be met. The termination or expiration of our leases may harm our business. Our property interests will terminate unless we fulfill certain obligations under the terms of our leases and other agreements related to such properties. If we are unable to satisfy these conditions on a timely basis, we may lose our rights in these properties. The termination of our interests in these properties may harm our business. In addition, we will need significant funds to meet capital requirements for the exploration activities that we intend to conduct on our properties.

Title deficiencies could render our leases worthless, which could have adverse effects on our financial condition or results of operations.

The existence of a material title deficiency can render a lease worthless and can result in a large expense to our business. It is our practice in acquiring oil and gas leases or undivided interests in oil and gas leases to forego the expense of retaining lawyers to examine the title to the oil or gas interest to be placed under lease or already placed under lease. Instead, we rely upon the judgment of oil and gas landmen who perform the fieldwork in examining records in the appropriate governmental office before attempting to place under lease a specific oil or gas interest.

24

---

This is customary practice in the oil and gas industry. However, we do not anticipate that we, or the person or company acting as operator of the wells located on the properties that we currently lease or may lease in the future, will obtain counsel to examine title to the lease until the well is about to be drilled. As a result, we may be unaware of deficiencies in the marketability of the title to the lease. Such deficiencies may render the lease worthless.

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective, which may cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

Our management evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2015 and concluded that as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. In addition, our management evaluated our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015 and concluded that that there were material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of that date and that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of that date. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We have not yet remediated this material weakness and we believe that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting continue to be ineffective. Until these issues are corrected, our ability to report financial results or other information required to be disclosed on a timely and accurate basis may be adversely affected and our financial reporting may continue to be unreliable, which could result in additional misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

Risks Relating to our Common Stock

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our ability to continue operations.

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because a significant portion of our operations have been and will be financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our operations. Such reductions may force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may have a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new properties and continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we can offer no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital in the future, we may not be able to have the resources to continue our normal operations.

The market price for our common stock may also be affected by our ability to meet or exceed expectations of analysts or investors. Any failure to meet these expectations, even if minor, may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result in the dilution of our existing shareholders.

Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares will result in a reduction of the book value and market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuance will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all current shareholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our corporation.

25

Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities Exchange Commission’s penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Our common stock is illiquid and the price of our common stock may be negatively impacted by factors which are unrelated to our operations.

Our common stock currently trades on a limited basis on OTCQB operated by the OTC Markets Group. Trading of our stock through OTCQB is frequently thin and highly volatile. There is no assurance that a sufficient market will develop in our stock, in which case it could be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of our competitors, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.
