INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Amazing Energy, Inc.
Amarillo, TX
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Amazing Energy, Inc., and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") as of July 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Amazing Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of July 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Amazing Energy, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the company has suffered recurring net losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AMAZING ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2014 AND 2013
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Business
Amazing Energy, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in 2010 as a Texas corporation and redomesticated to Nevada in 2011. The Company owns interests in oil and gas properties located in Texas and is engaged primarily in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties and the production and sale of oil and natural gas. Amazing Energy, LLC was formed in December 2008 as a Texas Limited Liability Company. In December of 2010, Amazing Energy, Inc. and Amazing Energy, LLC were combined as commonly controlled entities.
Note 2. Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year.
At July 31, 2014, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had accumulated losses of $3,406,552 since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management's plan to address the Company's ability to continue as a going concern includes: (1) obtaining debt or equity funding from private placement or institutional sources; (2) obtain loans from financial institutions, where possible, or (3) participating in joint venture transactions with third parties. Although management believes that it will be able to obtain the necessary funding to allow the Company to remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 3. Significant Accounting Policies
The Company maintains its accounts on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accounting principles followed and the methods of applying those principles, which materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operations and cash flows are summarized below:
Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and certain assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Basis of presentation – The financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include all of the accounts of Amazing Energy, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Amazing Energy LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Risks and uncertainties – The Company's operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with operating an emerging business, including the potential risk of business failure.
Concentration of risks – The Company's cash is placed with a highly rated financial institution, and the Company periodically reviews the credit worthiness of the financial institutions with which it does business. At times, the Company's cash balances are in excess of amounts guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Income Taxes - We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of (i) temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the basis of these assets and
F-6
AMAZING ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2014 AND 2013
liabilities for tax purposes and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when management concludes that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in a future period.
Fair value of financial instruments – Financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accounts payable to related party, and notes payable to related party. The estimated fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accounts payable to related party, and related party payables approximate the carrying amount due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable consist of uncollateralized oil and natural gas revenues due under normal trade terms, as well as amounts due from working interest owners of oil and gas properties for their share of expenses paid on their behalf by the Company. Management reviews receivables periodically and reduces the carrying amount by a valuation allowance that reflects management's best estimate of the amount that may not be collectible. As of July 31, 2014 and July 31, 2013, no valuation allowance was considered necessary.
Investment in oil and gas properties – The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development activities as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Under this method of accounting, the costs of unsuccessful, as well as successful, exploration and development activities are capitalized as properties and equipment. This includes any internal costs that are directly related to property acquisition, exploration and development activities but does not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of oil and gas properties is not recognized, unless the gain or loss would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves.
Oil and gas properties include costs that are excluded from costs being depleted or amortized. Oil and natural gas property costs excluded represent investments in unevaluated properties and include non-producing leasehold, geological, and geophysical costs associated with leasehold or drilling interests and exploration drilling costs. The Company allocates a portion of its acquisition costs to unevaluated properties based on relative value. Costs are transferred to the full cost pool as the properties are evaluated over the life of the reservoir.
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization – The depreciable base for oil and natural gas properties includes the sum of all capitalized costs net of accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization ("DD&A"), estimated future development costs and asset retirement costs not included in oil and natural gas properties, less costs excluded from amortization. The depreciable base of oil and natural gas properties is amortized on a unit-of-production method.
Ceiling test – Future production volumes from oil and gas properties are a significant factor in determining the full cost ceiling limitation of capitalized costs. Under the full cost method of accounting, the Company is required to periodically perform a "ceiling test" that determines a limit on the book value of oil and gas properties. If the net capitalized cost of proved oil and gas properties, net of related deferred income taxes, plus the cost of unproved oil and gas properties, exceeds the present value of estimated future net cash flows discounted at 10 percent, net of related tax affects, plus the cost of unproved oil and gas properties, the excess is charged to expense and reflected as additional accumulated DD&A. The ceiling test calculation uses a commodity price assumption, which is based on the unweighted arithmetic average of the price on the first day of each month for each month within the prior 12-month period and excludes future cash outflows related to estimated abandonment costs. The Company did not recognize impairment on its oil and gas properties during the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013. Due to the volatility of commodity prices, should oil and natural gas prices decline in the future, it is possible that a write-down could occur. Proved reserves are estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. The independent engineering estimates include only those amounts considered to be proved reserves and do not include additional amounts which may result from new discoveries in the future, or from application of secondary and tertiary recovery processes where facilities are not in place or for which transportation and/or marketing contracts are not in place. Estimated reserves to be developed through secondary or tertiary recovery processes are classified as unevaluated properties.
The determination of oil and gas reserves is a subjective process, and the accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data and the application of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Estimates of economically recoverable reserves and future net cash flows depend on a number of variable factors and assumptions that are difficult to predict and may vary considerably from actual results. In particular, reserve estimates for wells with limited or no production history are less reliable than those based on actual production. Subsequent re- evaluation of reserves and cost estimates related to future development of proved oil and gas reserves could result in significant revisions to proved reserves. Other issues, such as changes in regulatory requirements, technological
F-7
AMAZING ENERGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JULY 31, 2014 AND 2013
advances, and other factors, which are difficult to predict, could also affect estimates of proved reserves in the future.
Gains and losses on the sale of oil and gas properties are not generally reflected in income. Sales of less than 100% of the Company's interest in the oil and gas property are treated as a reduction of the capital cost of the field, with no gain or loss recognized, as long as doing so does not significantly affect the unit-of-production depletion rate. Costs of retired equipment, net of salvage value, are usually charged to accumulated depreciation.
Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets -The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment ("ASC 360-10"). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets would be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
The company did not recognize any impairment of its oil and gas properties during the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013.
Asset retirement obligations – Accounting principles require that the fair value of a liability for an asset's retirement obligation ("ARO") be recorded in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made, and that the corresponding cost be capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its then-present value each subsequent period, and the capitalized cost is depleted over the useful life of the related asset. Abandonment cost incurred is recorded as a reduction to the ARO liability.
Inherent in the fair value calculation of an ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit-adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental, and political environments. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the fair value of the existing ARO liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance.
Asset retirement obligation activity is disclosed in Note 11.
Share-based compensation – Compensation cost for equity awards is based on the fair value of the equity instrument on the date of grant and is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Compensation cost for liability awards is based on the fair value of the vested award at the end of each period.
Revenue recognition – The Company predominantly derives its revenue from the sale of produced crude oil and natural gas. Revenue is recorded in the month the product is delivered to the purchaser. At the end of each month, the Company estimates the amount of production delivered to purchasers and the price received. Variances between the Company's estimated revenue and actual payment are recorded in the month the payment is received; however, differences have been insignificant.
Environmental laws and regulations – The Company is subject to extensive federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. The Company believes that it is in compliance with existing laws and regulations.
Recent accounting pronouncements – No effect of recent accounting pronouncements.

Note 9. Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the related tax benefits will not be realized. The Company has placed a 100% valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset because future realization of these assets is not assured.
Authoritative guidance for uncertainty in income taxes requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an examination. Management has reviewed the Company's tax positions and determined there were no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements. The Company's tax returns remain subject to Federal and State tax examinations for all tax years since inception as none of the statutes have expired. Generally, the applicable statutes of limitation are three to four years from their respective filings.

The Company has not recorded any interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits for any periods covered by these financial statements.
The following is a reconciliation between the federal income tax benefit computed at the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% and actual income tax provision for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013:

The tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities at July 31, 2014 and July 31, 2013 are as follows:
July 31, 2014 | July 31, 2013 | |||||||

The federal net operating loss carry forward will begin to expire in 2031. Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent, in part, on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the loss carry forwards. The Company has placed a 100% valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset because future realization of these assets is not assured.

Proved Oil and Gas reserves
Proved oil and gas reserves were estimated by independent petroleum engineers. The reserves were based on the following assumptions:
· | Future revenues were based on an unweighted 12-month average of the first-day-of-the-month price held constant throughout the life of the properties. |
· | Production and development costs were computed using year-end costs assuming no change in present economic conditions. |
· | Future net cash flows were discounted at an annual rate of 10%. |
Reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and these estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available.
Basis of Presentation
2014 and 2013 proved oil and gas reserve quantities are based on estimates prepared by Mire & Associates, Inc., Petroleum Engineering Consultants and Thomas L. McCray independent petroleum engineers, respectively. There are numerous uncertainties in estimating quantities of proved reserves and projecting future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures. These uncertainties are greater for properties which are undeveloped or have a limited production history, such as our properties. The following reserve data represents estimates only and actual reserves may vary substantially from these estimates. All of our proved reserves were in United States as of July 31, 2014 and 2013. Our net quantities of proved developed and undeveloped reserves of crude oil and gas and changes therein are reflected in the table below.

As of July 31, 2014, we had 17 wells drilled with 11 producing and 6 wells shut-in awaiting either workovers or completions.
The proved reserves as of July 31, 2014 represent the reserves that were estimated to be recovered from 17 current wells and 4 wells planned but not yet drilled. All direct offset well locations in this report are proved undeveloped and are based on 10-acre drainage patterns unless current developed completions are estimated to drain an area larger than their volumetric assignment. In this case, the reserves of certain offset locations have been reduced. All locations have a scheduled Queens and/or Grayburg reservoir completion and each of these reservoir completions includes the cost of drilling a single wellbore. All reserves included in this report were estimated using either historical performance or volumetric methods.

The following information was developed utilizing procedures prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification 932-235 (ASC 932-235), "Disclosures about Oil and Gas Producing Activities." The information is based on estimates prepared by independent petroleum engineers. The "standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows" should not be viewed as representative of the current value of our proved oil and gas reserves. It and the other information contained in the following tables may be useful for certain comparative purposes, but should not be solely relied upon in evaluating us or our performance.
In reviewing the information that follows, we believe that the following factors should be taken into account:
· | future costs and sales prices will probably differ from those required to be used in these calculations; |
· | actual production rates for future periods may vary significantly from the rates assumed in the calculations; |
· | a 10% discount rate may not be reasonable relative to risk inherent in realizing future net oil and gas revenues; |
· | and future net revenues may be subject to different rates of income taxation. |
Under the standardized measure, future cash inflows were estimated by applying year-end oil and gas prices applicable to our reserves to the estimated future production of year-end proved reserves. Future cash inflows do not reflect the impact of open hedge positions. Future cash inflows were reduced by estimated future development, abandonment and production costs based on year-end costs in order to arrive at net cash flows before tax. Future

income tax expense has been computed by applying year-end statutory tax rates to aggregate future pre-tax net cash flows reduced by the tax basis of the properties involved and tax carryforwards. Use of a 10% discount rate and year- end prices and costs are required by ASC 932-235.
In general, management does not rely on the following information in making investment and operating decisions. Such decisions are based upon a wide range of factors, including estimates of probable as well as proved reserves and varying price and cost assumptions considered more representative of a range of possible outcomes.
Basis of Presentation
The standardized measure data includes estimates of oil and gas reserve volumes and forecasts of future production rates over the reserve lives. Estimates of future production expenditures, including taxes and future development costs, are based on management's best estimate of such costs assuming a continuation of current economic and operating conditions. No provision is included for depletion, depreciation and amortization of property acquisition costs or indirect costs. Income tax expense has been computed using expected future tax rates and giving effect to tax deductions and credits available, under current laws, and which relate to oil and gas producing activities. The sales prices used in the calculation are the year-end prices of crude oil and natural gas, which as of July 31, 2014 and 2013 were $96.52 and $90.00 per barrel and $4.199 and $4.00 per million cubic foot of gas, respectively. Changes in prices and cost levels, as well as the timing of future development costs, may cause actual results to vary significantly from the data presented. This information is not intended to represent a forecast or fair market value of the Company's oil and gas assets, but does present a standardized disclosure of discounted future net cash flows that would result under the assumptions used.
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves for 2014 and 2013 were as follows:
