PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

It is the opinion of management that the unaudited, consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2013 include all adjustments necessary in order to ensure that the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements are not misleading.

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.

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, 2013. The accounting policies are described in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in the 2013 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 three months ended December 31, 2013 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 $28,713,777 since inception and has a working capital of $976,257 at December 31, 2013. 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: LONG TERM INVESTMENT

On November 22, 2013, the Company invested in a long term deposit for $25,000 (September 30, 2013 - $15,000). The term of the investment is 12 months, maturing on November 22, 2014 and bears interest at a rate of 0.5% annually. The investment is to secure a letter to the US Environmental Protection Agency for $23,595 for one of the Company’s wells.

NOTE 4: OIL AND GAS INTERESTS

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

Proven and Developed Properties, Arkansas and Colorado and Montana

At December 31, 2013 the carrying value of the evaluated oil and gas properties exceeded the present value of the estimated future net revenue, therefore, an impairment of $92,411 (September 30, 2013 - $519,125) was recorded. The carrying value of Arkanova’s evaluated oil and gas properties at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013 was $891,960 and $1,066,680, respectively.

A reconciliation of the components of basic and diluted net income per common share is presented in the tables below:

NOTE 6: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At December 31, 2013, the Company owed management fees of $nil (September 30, 2013 - $145,000) to the President of the Company and $53,029 (September 30, 2013 - $120,029) to the CFO of the Company.

NOTE 7: NOTES PAYABLE

F-5

On July 1, 2012, the Company’s subsidiary entered into a Loan Modification Agreement to borrow an additional $1,000,000 and consolidate its 2011 Note into one promissory note in the principal amount for $8,315,000 (the “2012 Note”), including accrued interest of $315,000. The 2012 Note bears interest at 6% per annum, is due on June 30, 2013, and, as was the case with the 2011 Note, is secured by our guarantee and also a pledge of all of Acquisition’s interest in its wholly owned subsidiary, Provident. Interest on the 2012 Note shall be paid within 10 business days following the maturity date in shares of common stock of the Company. The number of shares of common stock shall be determined by dividing $498,900 by the average stock price of the Company over the 15 business day period immediately preceding the maturity date. On October 3, 2012, the Company received the additional $1,000,000 from the note holder.

Arkanova evaluated the application of ASC 470-50 and ASC 470-60 and determined that the 2011 Note and 2012 Note were not substantially different. As a result, it was concluded that the revised terms constituted a debt modification rather than a debt extinguishment.

On February 6, 2013, the Company’s subsidiary entered into a Loan Modification Agreement to borrow an additional $1,500,000 and consolidate its 2012 Note into one promissory note in the principal amount for $10,106,025 (the “2013 Note”), including accrued interest of $291,025. The 2013 Note bears interest at 6% per annum, is due on March 31, 2014, and, as was the case with the 2012 Note, is secured by our guarantee and also a pledge of all of Acquisition’s interest in its wholly owned subsidiary, Provident. Interest on the 2013 Note shall be paid within 10 business days following the maturity date in shares of common stock of the Company. The number of shares of common stock shall be determined by dividing $707,422 by the average stock price of the Company over the 15 business day period immediately preceding the maturity date. On February 6, 2013, the Company received $500,000 of the $1,500,000 funding from the note holder. The balance of $1,000,000 was received by the Company on June 4, 2013.

Arkanova evaluated the application of ASC 470-50 and ASC 470-60 and determined that the 2012 Note and 2013 Note were not substantially different. As a result, it was concluded that the revised terms constituted a debt modification rather than a debt extinguishment.

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 convert 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 subsequent to the period end. Refer to Note 12.

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.

NOTE 8: COMMON STOCK

Common stock

The Company did not issue any common shares during the three months ended December 31, 2013.

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.

During the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, Arkanova did not grant any stock options and no stock options were exercised. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, nil (2012 - 103,333) stock options expired unexercised.

F-6

A summary of Arkanova’s stock option activity is as follows:

* On November 15, 2013, Arkanova amended the terms of the outstanding stock options to decrease the exercise price from $0.12 - $0.25 to $0.10 and extend the expiry dates from November 19, 2013 – October 8, 2015 to September 30, 2018 – December 31, 2018. The weighted average grant date fair value of the modified stock options was $0.01 and additional stock-based compensation expense of $39,867 was recognized.

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:

At December 31, 2013, 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 December 31, 2013.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that relate to future events or future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of terminology such as “may”, “should”, “intend”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “project”, “predict”, “potential”, or “continue”, or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology. These statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report. Examples of forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report include statements pertaining to, among other things:

• rise in expenses as we proceed to determine the feasibility of developing our current and future property interests;
• our estimation that we will require approximately $2,500,000 over the next 12-month period to fund our plan of operations;
• our need for, and our ability to raise, capital;
• management’s assessment that our company is a going concern;
• that we do not anticipate incurring any additional lease acquisition costs during the next 12 months; and
• our estimated timeline of exploration activity on our properties.

The material assumptions supporting these forward-looking statements include, among other things:

• our ability to obtain necessary financing on acceptable terms;
• timing and amount of expenditures;
• our ability to obtain necessary drilling and related equipment in a timely and cost-effective manner to carry out exploration activities;
• retention of skilled personnel;
• the timely receipt of required regulatory approvals;
• continuation of current tax and regulatory regimes; and
• general economic and financial market conditions.

Although management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including:

• our ability to establish or find resources or reserves;
• our need for, and our ability to raise, capital;
• volatility in market prices for natural gas and crude oil;
• liabilities inherent in natural gas and crude oil operations;
• uncertainties associated with estimating natural gas and crude oil resources or reserves;
• competition for, among other things, capital, resources, undeveloped lands and skilled personnel;
• geological, technical, drilling and processing problems; and
• other factors discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this quarterly report.

These risks, as well as risks that we cannot currently anticipate, could cause our company’s or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or performance; except as required by applicable law, including applicable securities laws, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Results of Operations for the period ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 which are included herein:

Revenues

During the three months period ended December 31, 2013, our revenues increased by 10.8% as a result of higher average price of crude oil and higher production.

Expenses

Expenses increased by 48.1% during the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 because of a decrease in estimated reserves that resulted in an increase in depletion expense and an impairment being recorded on the property.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

We anticipate that we will require approximately $2,500,000 for operating expenses during the next 12-months as set out below.

4

Estimated Expenses for the Next 12-Month Period

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.

Our company’s cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next 12-month period. We estimate that we will require approximately $2,500,000 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. 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, re-activation of our waterflood project, 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, 2013, 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 Notes

On October 1, 2009, our subsidiary, Arkanova Acquisition Corporation, entered into a loan consolidation agreement to consolidate its outstanding promissory notes. We requested an additional loan in the amount of $1,168,729 to be consolidated into one new promissory note in the principal amount of $12,000,000. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreement, the loan provided for the consolidation and cancellation of the former notes and the additional loan amount. Interest of $818,771 on the former notes was consolidated to the new principal amount of $12,000,000. The promissory note included interest at 6% per annum, was due on September 30, 2011, and was secured by a pledge of all of our subsidiary’s interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Provident Energy of Montana, LLC. Interest on the promissory note was payable 10 days after maturity in shares of our company’s common stock. The number of shares payable as interest was to be determined by dividing $1,440,000 by the average stock price over the 15 business day period immediately preceding the date on which the promissory note matured.

As inducement to the note holder to provide the additional loan of $1,168,729, we agreed to issue 821,918 shares of our company’s common stock to the note holder. In addition, we agreed to issue $240,000 worth of shares of common stock to the note holder on the first anniversary of the execution of the Note Purchase Agreement. The note was secured by a pledge of all the membership interest of Provident Energy and a guarantee of indebtedness by our company.

5

We agreed to issue an additional 900,000 shares of our company’s common stock to the lender following the execution of the loan consolidation agreement, in accordance with our heretofore unfulfilled obligation under Section 3 of the Note Purchase Agreement relating to the $9,000,000 note. We issued the 900,000 shares of common stock on May 27, 2010.

On October 22, 2010, we issued 2,634,150 shares of common stock with a fair value of $720,000 to Aton Select Funds Limited as an interest payment on the promissory note and on October 26, 2010, we issued an additional 878,049 common shares with a fair value of $240,000.

On October 21, 2011, our subsidiary, Arkanova Acquisition Corporation, entered into a Conversion and Loan Modification Agreement and a Note Purchase Agreement with Aton Select Funds Limited which were effective as of October 1, 2011, and pursuant to which Aton agreed to

The 2011 Note included interest at the rate of 6% per annum, was due and payable on September 30, 2012, and, as was the case with the 2009 Note, was secured by a pledge of all of our subsidiary’s interest in its wholly owned subsidiary, Provident. Interest on the 2011 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 2011 Note was to be determined by dividing $420,000 by the average stock price for our common stock over the 15 business day period immediately preceding the date on which the 2011 Note matured. Our subsidiary’s obligations under the 2011 Note were guaranteed by our company pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement dated as of October 1, 2011.

On October 11, 2011, we issued 3,204,748 shares of common stock with a fair value of $769,140 to Aton Select Funds Limited to settle interest payment of $720,000 on the 2011 Note resulting in a loss of settlement of debt of $49,140. On February 1, 2012, we adjusted the exercise price of the warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock of our company which warrant was issued to John Thomas Bridge & Opportunity Fund on March 19, 2008 from $0.27 per share to $0.22 per share, which was the deemed price per share of the issuance to Aton Select Funds Limited.

On August 6, 2012, Arkanova Acquisition entered into a new Loan Modification Agreement and an Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement with Aton Select Funds Limited which was effective as of July 1, 2012, whereby Aton agreed to increase the amount outstanding under the 2011 Note by $1,000,000.00 (the “ 2012 Additional Loan Amount”) and consolidate the remaining balance under the 2011 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”).

The 2012 Note included 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. 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 to be 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 matures. Our subsidiary’s obligations under the 2012 Note were guaranteed by our company pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement dated as of July 1, 2012. We received the 2012 Additional Loan Amount evidenced by the foregoing amended and restated loan documents on October 3, 2012.

6

Effective February 6, 2013, Arkanova Acquisition Corporation further modified its loan with Aton effective February 6, 2013 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, due and is 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 is 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 our wholly owned subsidiary, Arkanova Acquisition Corporation, entered into a note amendment and interest conversion agreement with Aton to be 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 equals 11,811,025.00; (ii) Aton shall converted the outstanding accrued interest equal to US$466,815.29 into 4,668,152 shares of our common stock at a deemed price of US$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 will remain 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 $nil during the next 12-months.

Estimated Timeline of Waterflood Project and Other Activity on Property:

Employee and Consultant Compensation

Given the early stage of our development and exploration properties, 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 $800,000.

On July 17, 2012, we entered into an executive employment agreement 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.

On July 17, 2012, we also entered into an executive employment agreement with Reginald Denny, our chief financial officer and a director of our company. We agreed to pay an annual salary of $190,000 to Mr. Denny in consideration for him carrying out his duties as an executive of our company. The foregoing agreements were entered into as a result of the expiration of previous executive employment agreements with Mr. Denny and Mr. Mulacek. However, as a result of our company accruing a liability with respect to Reginald Denny as a result of our paying only part of Mr. Denny’s current annual salary of $190,000 since approximately January 2012, our company and Mr. Denny agreed to decrease his annual salary to $175,000 effective October 1, 2013. Therefore, on November 15, 2013, we entered into an amendment agreement with Mr. Denny to amend the terms his employment agreement to effect such decrease.

7

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 $500,000 on general and administrative costs in the next 12-month period. These costs primarily consist of expenses such as salaries, lease payments, office supplies, insurance, travel, office expenses, etc.

Cash Flows

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $592,584 during the three months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $(396,143) during the same period in 2012 because of project advances received of $1,395,000 offset by repayments of outstanding related party balances and accounts payable.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $(64,032) during the three months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $(16,487) during the same period in 2012. The reason for the increase was mainly due to the purchase of $54,032 of equipment during the three month period ended December 31, 2013.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $1,688,272 compared to $396,226 of net cash used in financing activities during the same period in 2012. The reason for the increase was additional loan proceeds received from Aton of $1,705,000. In the prior period additional loan proceeds of $1,000,000 were received from Aton, offset by loan and debt repayments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

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.

8

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, 2013, 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 or for our entry into the petroleum exploration and development industry. 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 December 31, 2013, 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. As of December 31, 2013, the proven properties had a net book value of $891,960 using the full cost method.

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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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 24, 2013.

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 December 31, 2013 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 quarterly 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.

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

We have a history of losses and this trend may continue and may negatively impact 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 $28,713,777 as at December 31, 2013. 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, 2009 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.

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.

11

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.

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.

12

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.

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 which 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.

13

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.

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.

14

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;
• 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.

15

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 field work in examining records in the appropriate governmental office before attempting to place under lease a specific oil or gas interest. 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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2013 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 September 30, 2013 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.

16

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.

17

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.
