PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Background
Overview
In January 2012, Rio Bravo Oil, Inc. (f/k/a/ Soton Holdings Group, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) determined to change its business plan to focus on the oil and gas industry and to seek, investigate, and, if warranted, acquire one or more properties or businesses in the oil and gas industry, and to pursue other related activities intended to enhance shareholder value. The acquisition of the oil and gas assets described herein was undertaken in furtherance of that strategy.
The Management of the Company has adopted a strategy of developing a growth-oriented independent energy and production company with a focus on development of proven undeveloped reservoirs and expansion of fields through unconventional methods of resource development. The Company has begun to execute this strategy through it’s acquisitions and aggregation of certain working interests located within the Luling Edwards, Darst Creek Luling Branyon, and Salt Flat fields in Texas, (collectively referred to as the “Luling Edwards Fields”). It has been the Company’s strategy to acquire certain significant working interests and assets within productive Edwards reservoirs, to additionally acquire additional rights associated with its targeted leases and to obtain secondary development opportunities.
Material Events
Operations:
In July 2011, Pan American Oil Company, LLC (“Pan American”) entered into a preliminary purchase and sale agreement with Rio Bravo Oil, LLC in which Pan American agreed to purchase all of Rio Bravo Oil LLC’s right, title and interest in its approximate 27% working interest and 23% net revenue interest in certain leaseholds in the Luling-Edwards Field. The purchase price was approximately $1.5 million in cash with a requirement to close on or before November 30, 2011. The agreement was subsequently modified to include Rio Bravo’s approximate 3.345% working interest and 12.5% net revenue interest (after overrides) in certain leaseholds in the Bateman Field and the purchase price was increased to include approximately an additional $1.7 million in cash with the acquisition date extended until Pan American was able to arrange funding. In February 2012 the agreement was modified again such that the assets included in the amended purchase and sale agreement included the original Luling-Edwards Field leaseholds and an option to purchase the Bateman Field leaseholds. This transaction closed on February 13, 2012. In November 2011, Pan American Oil Company, LLC entered into two separate purchase and sale agreements with entities that were sold partial interests in the Luling-Edwards field by Rio Bravo Oil, LLC in March 2010. The agreements called for Pan American to purchase approximately 20.75% net revenue interest and 30% working interest in the leaseholds in the Luling-Edwards field and had a combined purchase price of $300,000 in cash and the requirement of Pan American to deliver $500,000 worth of the shares of preferred stock Pan American receives in connection with a sale of its interests to a public company.
On February 13, 2012, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Pan American. Pursuant to the Agreement, Pan American exchanged its outstanding membership interests for 5,500,000 shares of Rio Bravo’s Series A Preferred stock and the assumption of approximately $3.3 million of liabilities.
In June 2012, the Company consummated two transactions to acquire additional leasehold rights to acreage in Guadeloupe and Caldwell Counties, Texas. In the first agreement, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Numa Luling, LLC in which the Company acquired all of Numa Luling, LLC’s right, title and interest (25% working interest and 25% net revenue interest, subject to 25% ORRI) in leasehold rights to the same formation, the Edwards formation, held by the Company. The purchase price for the acquisition of interests held by Numa Luling, LLC was 3,250,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock, which the Company valued at $3.466 million. The second acquisition was an asset purchase agreement with Eagle Ford Oil Co, Inc. in which the Company acquired 80% of the leasehold interests held by Eagle Ford Oil Co, Inc.. The leaseholds acquired are for depths other than the Edwards formation on the same acreage as the leaseholds owned by the Company. As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to carry the remaining 20% interest for drilling and swabbing operations, but not for leasehold operating expenses. The purchase price was payment of approximately $2 million in cash plus a note in the amount of $225,000 plus the assumption of certain payment obligations to the bankruptcy estate of the previous owner of the leasehold rights. One of the payment obligations calls for the Company to pay to the bankruptcy estate $5,000 per well drilled to a maximum of 200 wells and if that total is not met a balloon payment is due on March 16, 2016 for the difference between $1 million and the per well amount funded through March 16, 2016.
In 2012, the third party operator for the Company’s leasehold interests commenced several drilling and work-over programs targeting three different depths within the Buda and Edwards formations. The first program started by the third party operator was an attempt to test for recompleting the wells drilled in the 2010 drilling program that were all dry holes that were acquired by the Company with their purchase of Pan American Oil Co, LLC and Numa Luling, LLC. During 2012 the Company began recomplete work on the #1H and the #3H wells. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had incurred drilling costs of approximately $232,000 in regards to this first program. The #1H well is still being tested, while the #3H well will go into production after proper pump size has been determined. The Company expects to be able to report production test results in the second quarter of 2013.
The second program started was a small workover program covering 4 previously inactive wells in the Austin chalk formation that were acquired in the purchase of the leasehold interest acquired from Eagle Ford Oil Co. Inc. During 2012 the Company incurred work-over costs of approximately $98,000.
The third drilling program was the drilling of a new horizontal well nearby to the wells drilled in the 2010 drilling program noted above, the Tiller #4H well. The Company incurred drilling costs of approximately $1.38 million for this well, which was undergoing testing as of December 31, 2012. As of the date of this annual report, the well was undergoing flow testing and the Company expects to be able to report production test results in the second quarter of 2013.
In January 2013, the Company and 0947388 BC Ltd. (“094”) entered into a letter of intent for 094 to farm into the Edwards formation assets acquired through its acquisition of Pan American Oil Company, LLC (see Note 2) and Numa Luling, LLC (see Note 4) and also the 80% interest in certain leasehold interests acquired from Eagle Ford Oil Co., Inc. (see Note 4). The letter of intent specifies that upon completion of the #4H Tiller well currently being completed by the Company, 094 will drill 10 wells within the Edwards formation of which 100% of the costs shall be borne by 094. At the end of the 10 well program, 094 has the option to extend the program for a further 5 wells, borne at the sole cost of 094 or acquire 100% of the Company’s interest in the Edwards formation leasehold interests for $45 million, which price is reduced on a pro rata basis should oil prices drop below $85 per barrel down to a minimum of $30 million. Should 094 decide not to purchase 100% of the Company’s interest in the Edwards formation leasehold interests, then 094 will earn 80% of revenue from those 10 wells drilled by 094 until such time as it has recouped its costs, at which point its revenue interest reverts to 60%. In addition, 094 will also drill 5 wells within the Buda formation at 50% cost to earn 40% before payout and 30% after payout. At completion, 094 has the option to acquire 10% of the interest held by the Company in the entire leasehold through payment of $7.5 million to the Company. In the event 094 chooses not pay the final option price it will earn only a 30% interest in the 5 wells drilled by 094. At the time of entering the letter of intent, 094 paid a deposit of $300,000. The Company and 094 are still in negotiations and no agreement has been finalized.

Equity:
PREFERRED STOCK:
Series A
In connection with the acquisition of Pan American, the Company issued 5,500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock as partial consideration for the purchase. The Series A preferred stock had an initial issue price of $1 per share and accrues a dividend quarterly to each holder at the rate of 3% per annum based on the original issue price, payable quarterly in cash or in kind. Series A preferred holders are required to have received all dividends before any dividend on common stock may be issued. The Series A preferred ranks senior to common stock in the event of a liquidation or winding up of the Company. The Series A preferred may be converted in whole or in part at any time at the option of the holder at the rate of 1 common share for each Series A Preferred, subject to adjustments as defined in the Series A certificate of designation. In addition, should the common stock of the Company trade in any over the counter market above $1.75 per share for a period of at least 30 consecutive trading days, the Company have an initial public offering of any class of securities in which gross proceeds are in excess of $50 million or consummate a merger in which the existing Company shareholders obtain less than 50% of the voting control of the combined entity, then the Series A preferred will automatically convert into the number of shares of common stock as the then conversion rate indicates. In the event that holders elect not to convert their Series A preferred or no automatic conversion is triggered, on January 31, 2019, the Series A preferred will become mandatorily redeemable for cash at its original issue price plus any unpaid dividends accrued as of that date.
Series B
In connection with the acquisition of Numa Luling, the Company issued 3,250,000 shares of Series B preferred stock as partial consideration for the purchase. The Series B preferred stock had an initial issue (also liquidation price) of $1 per share. The Series B ranks junior to the Series A preferred stock in respect to the payment of dividends but senior to shares of common stock. The Series B is non-cumulative and dividends must be declared before they become payable by the Company. The Series B ranks pari-passu in respect to liquidation and all other matters to the Series A preferred stock. Each share of Series B preferred stock may be converted at any time by the holder into 1.33 shares of common stock. In the event that the Company’s common stock trades above $1.75 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company closes on a qualified sale (as defined in the agreement) in which the consideration to be received is greater than $50 million, or the Company has an underwritten public offering with proceeds in excess of $50 million, the Series B preferred stock automatically converts into common stock at the rate of 1.33 common shares for each Series B share. The holders also have standard anti-dilution protections.
Series C
During the quarter ending September 30, 2012 the Company raised gross proceeds of $492,000 and issued 492,000 shares of Series C preferred stock. In addition, the Company issued one warrant for each share of Series C preferred stock sold in the offering. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and expires 3 years from the date of issuance. The original issuance price was $1.00 per share. The Series C Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution, rank junior to orpari passu to other classes or series of preferred stock and prior to common stock. The Corporation shall pay the holders of Series C Preferred Stock a dividend in an amount equal to five percent (5%) per annum multiplied by the Original Issue Price of the Series C Preferred Stock. Cumulative Preferred Dividends shall be payable in quarterly installments in cash or in kind, at the sole option of the Corporation. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted by any holder thereof, without any further consideration, at any time, into 1.11 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Rate”). In addition, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the Conversion
Rate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i) The shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall trade at a price of over $1.75 per share (as adjusted for stock splits or other events which would result in an adjustment of the conversion rate) for a period in excess of thirty (30) consecutive trading days and the shares of the Company’s Common Stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock are either (i) included in an effective registration statement or (ii) eligible to be traded pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration.
(ii) The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally for the election of directors.
(iii) The merger of the Company which results in the shareholders of the Company prior to the merger owning less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company following the merger.
(iv) An underwritten initial public offering of the Company’s shares with gross proceeds of at least $50,000,000.
The Company shall mandatorily redeem all shares of Series C Preferred Stock which remain issued and outstanding at January 31, 2019 at a price equal to the sum of the Original Issue Price and the aggregate amount of any unpaid Cumulative Preferred Dividends attributable to such shares. Such redemption shall be made only to the extent the Company has funds legally available for such redemption as of the Redemption Date. Except as otherwise provided herein or required by law, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote together as a single class with the
holders of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Company entitled to vote, upon any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote. The holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which each share of Series C Preferred Stock held by such holders at the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken, is convertible.
COMMON STOCK:
On February 15, 2012. A 30 for one forward stock split of the Company’s Common Stock par value $0.001 became effective
Beginning in February 2012, in connection with the acquisition of Pan American, the Company commenced a private placement offering of up to a maximum of 6,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of 1 share of common stock and 1 warrant to acquire 1 share of common stock of the Company, with an offering price of $0.75 per unit. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and an exercise period of 3 years from the date of issuance. As part of the offering, the Company agreed to pay commissions of 10% of the gross funds raised. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had raised gross funds of approximately $2,656,250 and had accrued commission payable of approximately $265,000, included in accrued expenses. In addition, the Company had one signed private placement commitment of $500,000 for 666,666 units which was subsequently cancelled.
On March 28, 2012, the Company’s then-majority investor cancelled 66,500,000 shares of common stock in return for no consideration.
In May 2012 the Board of Directors adopted a stock compensation plan. The plan allows the Company to issue shares of common stock, options to purchase common stock or stock appreciation rights to employees, directors and consultants employed by the Company. The number of shares of common stock issuable under the plan is determined each January 1, such that the plan may issue shares of common stock or instruments to acquire common stock of the Company up to 15% of the then outstanding common stock of the Company. No awards were granted or outstanding during the period ending December 31, 2012.
In July 2012, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock as compensation for investor relations services. The stock was valued at its trading price of $0.86 per share on the date of the agreement.

Offices
At this time, the Company maintains its designated office at 5858 Westheimer, Suite 699, Houston, TX 77057. The Company occupies certain offices of South Oil Co. on a gratis basis. At some time in the future, it is expected that the Company expects to have its own offices and will enter into a lease for such offices.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company currently holds certain participating interests located primarily in the Salt Flat and Luling Branyon fields in Caldwell and Guadalupe Counties, Texas. Production in these fields is primarily from the Lower Cretaceous Edwards Formation and Buda Formations in the acreage held by Rio Bravo. The Edwards Formation(s) is the geologic strata commonly referred to as the Edwards Limestone, which is identified by electric log analysis between the depths of 2,825 feet and 2,920 feet in the Eagle Ford Oil Co. Inc. D. G. Tiller #1 SW disposal well bearing API Number 42-055-34932 located in the Gerron Hinds Survey, A-13 of Caldwell County, Texas. In 2012, the third party operator for the Company’s leasehold interests commenced several drilling and work-over programs targeting three different depths within the Buda and Edwards formations. The first program started by the third party operator was an attempt to test for recompleting the wells drilled in the 2010 drilling program that were all dry holes that were acquired by the Company with their purchase of Pan American Oil Co, LLC and Numa Luling, LLC. During 2012 the Company began recomplete work on the #1H and the #3H wells. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had incurred drilling costs of approximately $232,000 in regards to this first program. The #1H well is still being tested, while the #3H well will go into production after proper pump size has been determined. The Company expects to be able to report production test results in the second quarter of 2013. The second program started was a small workover program covering 4 previously inactive wells in the Austin chalk formation that were acquired in the purchase of the leasehold interest acquired from Eagle Ford Oil Co. Inc. During 2012 the Company incurred work-over costs of approximately $98,000. The third drilling program was the drilling of a new horizontal well nearby to the wells drilled in the 2010 drilling program noted above, the Tiller #4H well. The Company incurred drilling costs of approximately $1.38 million for this well, which was undergoing testing as of December 31, 2012. As of the date of this report, the well was undergoing flow testing and the Company expects to be able to report production test results in the second quarter of 2013.
Summary of Oil and Natural Gas Reserves
Proved Reserves
The following table sets forth our estimated net proved reserves as of December 31, 2012.
Estimated Proved Reserves Data:(1) | | Oil (MBbls) | |
Proved developed not producing reserves | | | 249 | |
Proved undeveloped reserves | | | 926 | |
Total proved reserves | | | 1,175 | |
| (1) | Prices used are based on the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month in the period January 2012 through December 2012. For oil volumes, the average WTI posted price of approximately $94 per Bbl is adjusted for quality, transportation fees and a regional price differential. The adjusted oil and natural gas prices of $90 per barrel are held constant throughout the lives of the properties. |
The following table sets forth our estimated PV-10 and standardized measure of discounted net cash flows as of December 31, 2012.
(in thousands) | | As of December 31, 2012 | |
PV-10(1) | | $ | 49,799 | |
Standardized measure | | $ | 30,144 | |
| (1) | PV-10 is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC. The closest GAAP measure to PV-10 is the standardized measure of discounted net cash flows. The standardized measure differs from PV-10 because standardized measure includes the effect of future income taxes. We believe that the presentation of PV-10 is relevant and useful to our investors as supplemental disclosure to the standardized measure, or after-tax amount, because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our proved reserves before taking into account future corporate income taxes and our current tax structure. The following table provides a reconciliation of our PV-10 to our standardized measure: |
(in thousands) | | | |
PV-10 | | $ | 49,799 | |
Future income taxes | | | (24,037 | ) |
Discount of future income taxes at 10% per annum | | | 4,382 | |
Standardized measure | | $ | 30,144 | |
Estimates of proved developed and undeveloped reserves are inherently imprecise and are continually subject to revision based on production history, results of additional exploration and development, price changes and other factors. See “— Qualifications of Technical Persons and Internal Controls Over Reserves Estimation Process.”
At December 31, 2012, our estimated proved reserves were 1,175 MBoe. During 2012, we added estimated proved reserves of 1,176 MBoe through our acquisitions, which were offset by production of 1 MBoe.
Proved Undeveloped Reserves
Our proved undeveloped reserves at December 31, 2012 were 926 MBoe. As of December 31, 2012, estimated future development costs relating to the development of our proved undeveloped reserves was $16.2 million. All of our currently identified proved undeveloped reserves are scheduled to be drilled by December 31, 2014.
Qualifications of Technical Persons and Internal Controls Over Reserves Estimation Process
Our reserve reports were prepared by Wilbur Hammock (“Hammock”), independent petroleum engineer. Hammock estimated, in accordance with petroleum engineering and evaluation principles set forth in the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserve Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (“SPE Standards”) and definitions and guidelines established by the SEC, 100% of the proved reserve information for our properties as of December 31, 2012.
The technical persons responsible for preparing the reserves estimates presented herein meet the requirements regarding qualifications, independence, objectivity and confidentiality set forth in the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Natural Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers.
Hammock is a degreed Petroleum Engineer, being a Professional Engineer since 1975, with a career spanning more than 40 years relating to all aspects of the business of oil and gas including the evaluation of oil and gas properties, management of producing properties, preparation of oil and gas reserve studies, evaluation of open hole well logs as well as designing and installing water flooding and production facilities. He is proficient in all phases of field operations including the securing of oil and gas leases, obtaining right of way and the design and construction of pipeline systems as well as planning and implementing the drilling and completion of wells. Hammock currently contract operates fields in Frio, Victoria, Caldwell, and Guadalupe Counties.
Hammock began his career at Lone Star Producing Company, and was promoted to District Petroleum Engineer. Since that time Mr. Hammock has held senior level engineering positions with Cities Services Oil Co., Union Crude Co., Pacesetter Resources, Inc., and Fortune Oil and Gas, Inc. In addition Mr. Hammock has consulted for numerous oil and gas independents as a Senior Petroleum Engineer for Frank and Associates, and as an independent consultant.Hammock received his Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Oklahoma. He maintains memberships in the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers, and is a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Texas.
Our senior management reviews and approves the Hammock reserve reports and any internally estimated significant changes to our proved reserves on an annual basis.
Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are projections based on a process involving an independent third party engineering firm’s collection of all required geologic, geophysical, engineering and economic data, and such firm’s complete external preparation of all required estimates and are forward-looking in nature. These reports rely upon various assumptions, including assumptions required by the SEC, such as constant oil and natural gas prices, operating expenses and future capital costs. The process also requires assumptions relating to availability of funds and timing of capital expenditures for development of our proved undeveloped reserves. These reports should not be construed as the current market value of our reserves. The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves is also dependent on geological, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. Because of the uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of this data, we cannot be certain that the reserves will ultimately be realized. Our actual results could differ materially. See “Note 14 — Supplemental Oil and Gas Disclosure (Unaudited)” to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our oil and natural gas reserves.
Under SEC rules, proved reserves are those quantities of oil and natural gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations. The term “reasonable certainty” implies a high degree of confidence that the quantities of oil and/or natural gas actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. To achieve reasonable certainty, Hammock employs technologies consistent with the standards established by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. The technologies and economic data used in the estimation of our proved reserves include, but are not limited to, well logs, geologic maps and available downhole and production data, seismic data and well test data.

Overview
In January 2012, Rio Bravo Oil, Inc. (f/k/a/ Soton Holdings Group, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) determined to change its business plan to focus on the oil and gas industry and to seek, investigate, and, if warranted, acquire one or more properties or businesses in the oil and gas industry, and to pursue other related activities intended to enhance shareholder value. The acquisition of the oil and gas assets described herein was undertaken in furtherance of that strategy.
The Management of the Company has adopted a strategy of developing a growth-focused independent energy and production company with a focus on development of proven undeveloped reservoirs and expansion of fields through unconventional methods of resource development. The Company has begun to execute this strategy through acquisition and aggregation of certain working interests located within the Luling Edwards, Darst Creek Luling Branyon, and Salt Flat fields in Texas, (collectively referred to as the “Luling Edwards Fields”). It has been the Company’s strategy to acquire certain significant working interests and assets with productive Edwards reservoirs, and to additionally acquire additional rights associated with its targeted leases, to obtain secondary development opportunities.
Material Events
Operations:
In July 2011, Pan American Oil Company, LLC (“Pan American”) entered into a preliminary purchase and sale agreement with Rio Bravo Oil, LLC in which Pan American agreed to purchase all of Rio Bravo Oil LLC’s right, title and interest in its approximate 27% working interest and 23% net revenue interest in certain leaseholds in the Luling-Edwards Field. The purchase price was approximately $1.5 million in cash with a requirement to close on or before November 30, 2011. The agreement was subsequently modified to include Rio Bravo’s approximate 3.345% working interest and 12.5% net revenue interest (after overrides) in certain leaseholds in the Bateman Field and the purchase price was increased to include approximately an additional $1.7 million in cash with the acquisition date extended until Pan American was able to arrange funding. In February 2012 the agreement was modified again such that the assets included in the amended purchase and sale agreement included the original Luling-Edwards Field leaseholds and an option to purchase the Bateman Field leaseholds. This transaction closed on February 13, 2012. In November 2011, Pan American Oil Company, LLC entered into two separate purchase and sale agreements with entities that were sold partial interests in the Luling-Edwards field by Rio Bravo Oil, LLC in March 2010. The agreements called for Pan American to purchase approximately 20.75% net revenue interest and 30% working interest in the leaseholds in the Luling-Edwards field and had a combined purchase price of $300,000 in cash and the requirement of Pan American to deliver $500,000 worth of the shares of preferred stock Pan American receives in connection with a sale of its interests to a public company.
On February 13, 2012, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Pan American. Pursuant to the Agreement, Pan American exchanged its outstanding membership interests for 5,500,000 shares of Rio Bravo’s Series A Preferred stock and the assumption of approximately $3.3 million of liabilities.
In June 2012, the Company consummated two transactions to acquire additional leasehold rights to acreage in Guadeloupe and Caldwell Counties, Texas. In the first agreement, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Numa Luling, LLC in which the Company acquired all of Numa Luling, LLC’s right, title and interest (25% working interest and 25% net revenue interest, subject to 25% ORRI) in leasehold rights to the same formation, the Edwards formation, held by the Company. The purchase price for the acquisition of interests held by Numa Luling, LLC was 3,250,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock, which the Company valued at $3.466 million. The second acquisition was an asset purchase agreement with Eagle Ford Oil Co, Inc. in which the Company acquired 80% of the leasehold interests held by Eagle Ford Oil Co, Inc.. The leaseholds acquired are for depths other than the Edwards formation on the same acreage as the leaseholds owned by the Company. As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to carry the remaining 20% interest for drilling and swabbing operations, but not for leasehold operating expenses. The purchase price was payment of approximately $2 million in cash plus a note in the amount of $225,000 plus the assumption of certain payment obligations to the bankruptcy estate of the previous owner of the leasehold rights. The payment of one obligation calls for the Company to pay to the bankruptcy estate $5,000 per well drilled to a maximum of 200 wells and if that total is not met a balloon payment is due on March 16, 2016 for the difference between $1 million and the per well amount funded through March 16, 2016.
In 2012, the third party operator for the Company’s leasehold interests commenced several drilling and work-over programs targeting three different depths within the Buda and Edwards formations. The first program started by the third party operator was an attempt to test for recompleting the wells drilled in the 2010 drilling program that were all dry holes that were acquired by the Company with their purchase of Pan American Oil Co, LLC and Numa Luling, LLC. During 2012 the Company began recomplete work on the #1H and the #3H wells. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had incurred drilling costs of approximately $232,000 in regards to this first program. The #1H well is still being tested, while the #3H well will go into production after proper pump size has been determined. The Company expects to be able to report production test results in the second quarter of 2013.
The second program started was a small workover program covering 4 previously inactive wells in the Austin chalk formation that were acquired in the purchase of the leasehold interest acquired from Eagle Ford Oil Co. Inc. During 2012 the Company incurred work-over costs of approximately $98,000.
The third drilling program was the drilling of a new horizontal well nearby to the wells drilled in the 2010 drilling program noted above, the Tiller #4H well. The Company incurred drilling costs of approximately $1.38 million for this well, which was undergoing testing as of December 31, 2012. As of the date of this annual report, the well was undergoing flow testing and the Company expects to be able to report production test results in the second quarter of 2013.
In January 2013, the Company and 0947388 BC Ltd. (“094”) entered into a letter of intent for 094 to farm into the Edwards formation assets acquired through its acquisition of Pan American Oil Company, LLC (see Note 2) and Numa Luling, LLC (see Note 4) and also the 80% interest in certain leasehold interests acquired from Eagle Ford Oil Co., Inc. (see Note 4). The letter of intent specifies that upon completion of the #4H Tiller well currently being completed by the Company, 094 will drill 10 wells within the Edwards formation of which 100% of the costs shall be borne by 094. At the end of the 10 well program, 094 has the option to extend the program for a further 5 wells, borne at the sole cost of 094 or acquire 100% of the Company’s interest in the Edwards formation leasehold interests for $45 million, which price is reduced on a pro rata basis should oil prices drop below $85 per barrel down to a minimum of $30 million. Should 094 decide not to purchase 100% of the Company’s interest in the Edwards formation leasehold interests, then 094 will earn 80% of revenue from those 10 wells drilled by 094 until such time as it has recouped its costs, at which point its revenue interest reverts to 60%. In addition, 094 will also drill 5 wells within the Buda formation at 50% cost to earn 40% before payout and 30% after payout. At completion, 094 has the option to acquire 10% of the interest held by the Company in the entire leasehold through payment of $7.5 million to the Company. In the event 094 chooses not pay the final option price it will earn only a 30% interest in the 5 wells drilled by 094. At the time of entering the letter of intent, 094 paid a deposit of $300,000. The Company and 094 are still in negotiations and no agreement has been finalized.
Finance:
Debt:
On December 22, 2011, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $200,000 to Michael J. Garnick, a stockholder. The promissory note accrued interest at 10% per annum and was due on February 15, 2012. As a condition for issuing the promissory note, the Company was obligated to issue 90,000 shares of its common stock to Michael J. Garnick. The note was repaid in full in March 2012.
In connection with the acquisition of Pan American, the Company acquired certain advances payable and short term bridge notes in the principal amount of $1,900,000 from two unaffiliated entities. Of the $1,900,000 borrowed, $600,000 was evidenced by an unsecured promissory note, had an interest rate of 10% per annum and was repaid March 2012. The remaining $1,300,000 borrowed was evidenced by a series of loan agreements all with essentially the same terms; interest at the rate of 6% per annum, unsecured, and due on the earlier of December 31, 2012 or upon demand. As of December 31, 2012, $350,000 was due on this loan.

Equity:
PREFERRED STOCK:
Series A
In connection with the acquisition of Pan American, the Company issued 5,500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock as partial consideration for the purchase. The Series A preferred stock had an initial issue price of $1 per share and accrues a dividend quarterly to each holder at the rate of 3% per annum based on the original issue price, payable quarterly in cash or in kind. Series A preferred holders are required to have received all dividends before any dividend on common stock may be issued. The Series A preferred ranks senior to common stock in the event of a liquidation or winding up of the Company. The Series A preferred may be converted in whole or in part at any time at the option of the holder at the rate of 1 common share for each Series A Preferred, subject to adjustments as defined in the Series A certificate of designation. In addition, should the common stock of the Company trade in any over the counter market above $1.75 per share for a period of at least 30 consecutive trading days, the Company have an initial public offering of any class of securities in which gross proceeds are in excess of $50 million or consummate a merger in which the existing Company shareholders obtain less than 50% of the voting control of the combined entity, then the Series A preferred will automatically convert into the number of shares of common stock as the then conversion rate indicates. In the event that holders elect not to convert their Series A preferred or no automatic conversion is triggered, on January 31, 2019, the Series A preferred will become mandatorily redeemable for cash at its original issue price plus any unpaid dividends accrued as of that date.
Series B
In connection with the acquisition of Numa Luling, the Company issued 3,250,000 shares of Series B preferred stock as partial consideration for the purchase. The Series B preferred stock had an initial issue (also liquidation price) of $1 per share. The Series B ranks junior to the Series A preferred stock in respect to the payment of dividends but senior to shares of common stock. The Series B is non-cumulative and dividends must be declared before they become payable by the Company. The Series B ranks pari-passu in respect to liquidation and all other matters to the Series A preferred stock. Each share of Series B preferred stock may be converted at any time by the holder into 1.33 shares of common stock. In the event that the Company’s common stock trades above $1.75 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company closes on a qualified sale (as defined in the agreement) in which the consideration to be received is greater than $50 million, or the Company has an underwritten public offering with proceeds in excess of $50 million, the Series B preferred stock automatically converts into common stock at the rate of 1.33 common shares for each Series B share. The holders also have standard anti-dilution protections.
Series C
During the quarter ending September 30, 2012 the Company raised gross proceeds of $492,000 and issued 492,000 shares of Series C preferred stock. In addition, the Company issued one warrant for each share of Series C preferred stock sold in the offering. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and expires 3 years from the date of issuance. The original issuance price was $1.00 per share. The Series C Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution, rank junior to orpari passu to other classes or series of preferred stock and prior to common stock. The Corporation shall pay the holders of Series C Preferred Stock a dividend in an amount equal to five percent (5%) per annum multiplied by the Original Issue Price of the Series C Preferred Stock. Cumulative Preferred Dividends shall be payable in quarterly installments in cash or in kind, at the sole option of the Corporation. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted by any holder thereof, without any further consideration, at any time, into 1.11 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Rate”). In addition, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the Conversion
Rate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i) The shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall trade at a price of over $1.75 per share (as adjusted for stock splits or other events which would result in an adjustment of the conversion rate) for a period in excess of thirty (30) consecutive trading days and the shares of the Company’s Common Stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock are either (i) included in an effective registration statement or (ii) eligible to be traded pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration.
(ii) The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally for the election of directors.
(iii) The merger of the Company which results in the shareholders of the Company prior to the merger owning less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company following the merger.
(iv) An underwritten initial public offering of the Company’s shares with gross proceeds of at least $50,000,000.
The Company shall mandatorily redeem all shares of Series C Preferred Stock which remain issued and outstanding at January 31, 2019 at a price equal to the sum of the Original Issue Price and the aggregate amount of any unpaid Cumulative Preferred Dividends attributable to such shares. Such redemption shall be made only to the extent the Company has funds legally available for such redemption as of the Redemption Date. Except as otherwise provided herein or required by law, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote together as a single class with the holders of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Company entitled to vote, upon any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote. The holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which each share of Series C Preferred Stock held by such holders at the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken, is convertible.
COMMON STOCK:
On February 15, 2012. A 30 for one forward stock split of the Company’s Common Stock par value $0.001 became effective
Beginning in February 2012, in connection with the acquisition of Pan American, the Company commenced a private placement offering of up to a maximum of 6,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of 1 share of common stock and 1 warrant to acquire 1 share of common stock of the Company, with an offering price of $0.75 per unit. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and an exercise period of 3 years from the date of issuance. As part of the offering, the Company agreed to pay commissions of 10% of the gross funds raised. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had raised gross funds of approximately $2,656,250 and had accrued commission payable of approximately $265,000, included in accrued expenses. In addition, the Company had one signed private placement commitment of $500,000 for 666,666 units which was subsequently cancelled.
On March 28, 2012, the Company’s then-majority investor cancelled 66,500,000 shares of common stock in return for no consideration.
In May 2012 the Board of Directors adopted a stock compensation plan. The plan allows the Company to issue shares of common stock, options to purchase common stock or stock appreciation rights to employees, directors and consultants employed by the Company. The number of shares of common stock issuable under the plan is determined each January 1, such that the plan may issue shares of common stock or instruments to acquire common stock of the Company up to 15% of the then outstanding common stock of the Company. No awards were granted or outstanding during the period ending December 31, 2012.
In July 2012, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock as compensation for investor relations services. The stock was valued at its trading price of $0.86 per share on the date of the agreement.
On March 11, 2013, Marvin Markman converted 100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 111,000 shares of Common Stock.
We will need substantial additional capital to support our proposed future energy operations. No representation is made that any funds will be available when needed. In the event funds cannot be raised when needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan, may never achieve sales or royalty income, and could fail in business as a result of these uncertainties.
Decisions regarding future participation in exploration wells or geophysical studies or other activities will be made on a case-by-case basis. We may, in any particular case, decide to participate or decline participation. If participating, we may pay our proportionate share of costs to maintain our proportionate interest through cash flow or debt or equity financing. If participation is declined, we may elect to farmout, non-consent, sell or otherwise negotiate a method of cost sharing in order to maintain some continuing interest in the prospect.
Financial information
We changed our fiscal year from September 30 to December 31. Consequently, the financial statements for the Company included in this annual report are as of and for the year ending December 31, 2012, as of and for the three month transition period ending December 31, 2011 and as of and for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2011.
As described in more detail in this Report, the Company acquired Pan American Oil Company, LLC on February 14, 2012. Prior to that acquisition the Company had limited operations. Under Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules when a registrant succeeds to substantially all of the business (or a separately identifiable line of business) of another entity (or group of entities) and the registrant's own operations before the succession appear insignificant relative to the operations assumed or acquired - the registrant is required to present financial information for the acquired entity (the “predecessor”) for all comparable periods being presented before the succession.
Therefore we are providing certain additional information in our financial statements regarding the predecessor businesses for periods prior to February 14, 2012. Amounts labeled as “predecessor business” represent operations that were not owned by us during the time period presented in our financial statements - some of which was under a different cost basis or fair value than how we reflect them after we acquired Pan American. Pan American Oil Company, LLC, is considered a predecessor. Also, Pan American Oil Company, LLC purchased certain oil and gas leasehold interests from Rio Bravo Oil, LLC on February 13, 2012 prior to being acquired by the Company and therefore those leasehold interests are also considered a predecessor. Collectively, Pan American Oil Company, LLC and the leasehold interests acquired from Rio Bravo Oil, LLC is referred to as the “Predecessor Business” This financial information (for which intercompany transactions between the predecessors have been eliminated) for the period prior to February 14, 2012 is labeled “Predecessor Business” and the Company has placed a heavy black line between it and the Company’s (also referred to as the successor) information to differentiate it from the Company’s financial information.
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2012 to the year ended December 31, 2011
Our operating results are not comparable to the prior period for the following reasons:
| · | We changed our fiscal year from September 30 to December 31. Consequently, the financial statements for the Company included in this annual report are as of and for the year ending December 31, 2012, as of and for the three month transition period ending December 31, 2011 and as of and for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2011. Below we have provided a comparison of Company financial information for the year ended December 31, 2012 (derived from our audited financial statements) to the year ended December 31, 2011 (derived from unaudited financial information). “Predecessor business” information is not included in this comparison. |
| · | In the prior period we were engaged in a different business, with a completely different ownership and management. |
| · | In February 2012 we consummated an acquisition of Pan American where we acquired leasehold interests and are now focused on the oil and gas industry. |
In June 2012, the Company consummated two transactions to acquire additional leasehold rights as described elsewhere in this document.
This Annual Report should be read in conjunction with both the financial statements and the notes thereto for Pan American Oil Company, LLC and Properties Acquired From Rio Bravo Oil, LLC on February 13, 2012, included in the Company’s 2 nd Amendment to Form 8 K/A - Event Reporting that it filed with the SEC on May 11, 2012 and the Amendment to Form 8 K/A – Event Reporting dated August 20, 2012 which presents the financial statements of the entities acquired in the second quarter of 2012.
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2011 (unaudited)
In February 2012, we entered the oil and gas exploration and development industry upon our acquisition of Pan American Oil Company, LLC, which has leasehold interests in approximately 4500 gross acres in the Edwards formation in Caldwell and Guadeloupe counties in Texas. For the year ended December 31, 2012 our net loss from operations increased by approximately $2,834,748 to $2,886,616 from $51,868 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increased loss can be attributed to the following:
In the year ended December 31, 2012 we had revenues of approximately $101,556 which are attributable to our acquisition of leasehold rights from Eagle Ford Oil Co, Inc. We had no revenues prior to the acquisition of leasehold rights from Eagle Ford Oil Co, Inc. in 2012. Our leasehold operating costs, increased to $799,386 in the year ended December 31, 2012 from nil in the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase is attributable to the acquisitions we made in 2012.
In the year ended December 31, 2012, our general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $766,149 to $817,872 from $51,723 in the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was due to our requirements to provide for oversight and management of the properties acquired from Pan American Oil Company, LLC, the leasehold rights from Numa Luling, LLC and the leasehold rights from Eagle Ford Oil Co, Inc. We expect to increase our general and administrative expenses in future periods as we hire additional staff and develop our business.
In the year ended December 31, 2012, our professional fee expenses increased to $1,273,430 from nil in the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was due to our increased regulatory requirements as a public company and also for our oversight and administration of our acquired properties from Pan American Oil Company, LLC, the leasehold rights from Numa Luling, LLC and the leasehold rights from Eagle Ford Oil Co, Inc. as we have chosen to operate using consultants instead of full time employees. Going forward through the fiscal year 2013, we expect our professional fees to remain at elevated levels as we expect to acquire additional companies and will need to continue to expend resources in regards to our regulatory filing commitments as a public entity.
Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization expense increased in the year ended December 31, 2012 to $97,484 from nil for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase resulted from our acquisition of Pan American Oil Company, LLC and the leasehold rights of Numa Luling, LLC and Eagle Ford Oil Company, LLC. In the future, should we be successful in our drilling program our depreciation, depletion and amortization will increase as we deplete our costs in the oil and gas property cost pool over our estimated total reserves.
Interest expense increased in the year ended December 31, 2012 by approximately $567,696 to $567,841 from $145 in the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was the result of our borrowings of $5.185 million plus the assumption of approximately $1.9 million in bridge notes from our acquisition of Pan American Oil Company, LLC with the related amortization of deferred loan fees and the accretion from the asset retirement obligation we incurred in connection with the purchase of the leasehold rights from Eagle Ford Oil Co, Inc.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2012 we had approximately $18,738 in cash, a working capital deficit of $3,744,284 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $3,665,754. Total Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2012 was approximately $2,449,686. Total debt, including advances and other notes payable at December 31, 2012 and excluding discounts on notes and other liabilities, was approximately $6.899 million, a change of $6,696 million from approximately $203,000 at December 31, 2011. Our operating activities used $2,911,841 in cash for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our investing activities used $3,220,930, however of that amount approximately $1,590,000 was used to acquire Pan American and 80% of the leasehold interests held by Eagle Ford Oil Company, LLC which we do not expect to continue in future periods. We do expect to expend significant amounts which started late in the fourth quarter of 2012 as we begin phase 1 of our drilling program on the Edwards formation assets we acquired on February 14, 2012 and in June 2012. We believe that we do not have sufficient cash on hand to fund all of our projected development activities for the next twelve months. If we are unable to raise sufficient cash, we may need to curtail certain development activities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
With our acquisition of various entities we adopted additional accounting policies during 2012.
We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas operations. Under this method all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized on a country-by-country basis into an individual country “cost pool.” The Company has operations in the United States and, consequently, only has one cost pool. No gains or losses are recognized upon the sale or other disposition of oil and natural gas properties except in transactions that would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. The costs of unevaluated oil and natural gas properties are excluded from the amortizable base until the time that either proven reserves are found or it has been determined that such properties are impaired. As properties become evaluated, the related costs are transferred to the proved oil and natural gas properties cost pool using full cost accounting.
Under the full cost method the net book value of oil and natural gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed the estimated after-tax future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas properties, discounted at 10% (the “Ceiling Limitation”). In arriving at estimated future net revenues, estimated lease operating expenses, development costs, and certain production-related and ad valorem taxes are deducted. In calculating future net revenues, prices and costs are held constant indefinitely, except for changes that are fixed and determinable by existing contracts. Prices are determined using a simple arithmetic average of the first day of each month during the most recent twelve month period presented herein. The net book value is compared to the Ceiling Limitation on a quarterly and yearly basis. The excess, if any, of the net book value above the Ceiling Limitation is charged to expense in the period in which it occurs and is not subsequently reinstated.
Unit-of-production depletion is applied to capitalized costs of the full cost pool. Unit-of-production rates are based on the amount of proved reserves (both developed and undeveloped) of oil, gas and other minerals that are estimated to be recoverable from existing facilities using current operating methods.
The costs of investments in unproved properties and portions of costs associated with major development projects are excluded from the depreciation, depletion and amortization calculation until the project is evaluated.
Unproved property costs include leasehold costs, seismic costs and other costs incurred during the exploration phase. In areas where proved reserves are established, significant unproved properties are evaluated periodically, but not less than annually, for impairment. If a reduction in value has occurred, these property costs are considered impaired and are transferred to the related full cost pool. Unproved properties whose acquisition costs are not individually significant are aggregated, and the portion of such costs estimated to be ultimately nonproductive, based on experience, and is amortized to the full cost pool over an average holding period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the following material estimates affecting the financial statements could significantly change in the coming year.
The most significant estimates pertain to proven oil and natural gas reserves and related cash flow estimates used in impairment tests of long-lived assets, estimates of future development, dismantlement and abandonment costs. Certain of these estimates require assumptions regarding future costs and expenses and future production rates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company’s revenue, profitability and future growth are substantially dependent upon the prevailing and future prices for oil and natural gas, which are dependent upon numerous factors beyond their control such as economic, political and regulatory developments and competition from other energy sources. The energy markets have historically been very volatile and there can be no assurance that oil and natural gas prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in oil and natural gas prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and quantities of oil and natural gas reserves that may be economically produced.
Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves and their values, future production rates and future costs and expenses are inherently uncertain for numerous reasons, including many factors beyond the Company’s control. Reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of data available and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. In addition, estimates of reserves may be revised based on actual production, results of subsequent exploration and development activities, prevailing commodity prices, operating cost and other factors. These revisions may be material and could materially affect future depletion, depreciation and amortization expense, dismantlement and abandonment costs, and impairment expense.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company provides for future asset retirement obligations on its resource properties and facilities based on estimates established by current legislation and industry practices. The asset retirement obligation is initially measured at fair value and capitalized as an asset retirement cost that is amortized on a straight line 15 year basis. The obligation is accreted through interest expense until it is expensed and or settled. The fair value of the obligation is estimated based on recent operations in the area and is then accreted using an expected inflation rate for oil field service costs. The Company recognizes revisions to either the timing or amount of the original estimate as increases or decreases to the asset retirement obligation.
The significant assumptions used to develop the expected liability during the period are as follows:
Average cost to remediate individual well sites: $4,000 to $7,000 (net to our interest)
Average gross salvage value expected from individual well sites remediated: $0 (net)
Expected inflation rate for oil field service costs: 5%
Risk weighted cost of credit: 8%
Average time to abandonment: 20 years
Actual retirement costs will be recorded against the obligation when incurred. Any difference between the recorded asset retirement obligation and the actual retirement costs incurred is recorded as a gain or loss in the settlement period.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Rio Bravo Oil, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rio Bravo Oil, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 (Successor) and 2011 (Successor and Predecessor), and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 (Successor), year ended December 31, 2011 (Predecessor), quarter ended December 31, 2011 (Successor), inception (June 9, 2010) through December 31, 2012 (Successor) and period from January 1, 2012 through February 14, 2012 (Predecessor). Rio Bravo Oil, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing 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 over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rio Bravo Oil, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 (Successor) and 2011 (Successor and Predecessor), and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 (Successor), year ended December 31, 2011 (Predecessor), quarter ended December 31, 2011 (Successor), inception (June 9, 2010) through December 31, 2012 (Successor) and period from January 1, 2012 through February 14, 2012 (Predecessor) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses from operations and resulting dependence upon access to additional external financing, raise substantial doubt concerning its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

RIO BRAVO OIL, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
Nature of Operations and Presentation
These financial statements include the accounts of Rio Bravo Oil, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Soton Holdings Group, Inc., which was formed on June 9, 2010 in the state of Nevada and its wholly owned subsidiary Pan American Oil Company, LLC. Except where the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refers to Rio Bravo Oil, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary Pan American Oil Company, LLC.
As described in more detail later in this document, the Company acquired Pan American Oil Company, LLC on February 14, 2012. Prior to that acquisition the Company was a shell company with limited or no operations. Under Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules when a registrant succeeds to substantially all of the business (or a separately identifiable line of business) of another entity (or group of entities) and the registrant's own operations before the succession appear insignificant relative to the operations assumed or acquired - the registrant is required to present financial information for the acquired entity (the “predecessor”) for all comparable periods prior to the date of acquisition being presented before the succession.
Therefore we are providing certain additional information in our financial statements regarding the predecessor businesses for periods prior to February 14, 2012. Pan American Oil Company, LLC, is considered a predecessor, Also, Pan American Oil Company, LLC purchased certain oil and gas leasehold interests from Rio Bravo Oil, LLC on February 13, 2012 prior to being acquired by the Company and therefore those leasehold interests are also considered a predecessor. Collectively, Pan American Oil Company, LLC and the leasehold interests acquired from Rio Bravo Oil, LLC is referred to as the “Predecessor Business” This financial information (for which intercompany transactions between the predecessors have been eliminated) for the period prior to February 14, 2012 is labeled “Predecessor Business” and the Company has placed a heavy black line between it and the Company’s (also referred to as the successor) information to differentiate it from the Company’s financial information.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred significant operating losses since its inception and has an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2012 of $3,665,754. In addition, as of December 31, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3.8 million and is currently unable to satisfy it’s debt obligations when they come due. Management expects that significant on-going operating and drilling expenditures will be necessary to successfully implement the Company’s drilling plans. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Implementation of the Company’s plans and its ability to continue as a going concern depend upon its securing substantial additional financing.
The Company has only enough cash to operate into May 2013 and at the time of these financial statements, the production levels for the #4H and #3 tiller wells are currently unknown as they are undergoing flow testing. Management’s plans include efforts to obtain additional capital, although no assurances can be given about the Company’s ability to obtain such capital. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate additional financing or generate additional hydrocarbon production, it will be unable to continue its drilling plans and other activities and may be forced to cease operations. The consolidated financial statements presented herein do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 - MERGER WITH PAN AMERICAN OIL COMPANY, LLC
On February 14, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding member interests of Pan American Oil Company, LLC (“Pan Am”) at which time Pan Am became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price of the member interests of Pan Am was 5,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock (see Note 8) plus the assumption of certain liabilities of Pan Am. Liabilities that were not assumed by the Company primarily consisted of a liability to deliver $500,000 worth of preferred shares, from an earlier acquisition by Pan Am (see below). This liability was distributed to the members of Pan Am immediately prior to the acquisition of Pan Am by the Company. The acquisition of Pan Am allowed the Company to enter the oil and gas industry and gain access to oil and gas leaseholds covering approximately 4,500 acres gross (2,143 net) within the Edwards formation in Texas. The Company acquired an approximate 63.5%/57% working interest (before/after pay out) and approximate 38% net revenue interest (after pay out) in the Edwards formation leaseholds in Caldwell and Guadeloupe counties in Texas. Immediately following the acquisition the Company changed its year end to December 31 to conform with that of Pan Am.
RIO BRAVO OIL, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Immediately prior to the merger with the Company, Pan Am consummated an acquisition of oil and gas leasehold interests in the Edwards formation from Rio Bravo Oil, LLC (“Rio LLC”), a company with common ownership and control with Pan Am. The purchase price of the leasehold interests was $1.6 million which consisted of approximately $966,000 of cash and payment of expenses on behalf of Rio LLC, a payable to Rio LLC of approximately $120,000 (of which $113,000 was paid in 2012) and assumption of a payable to the operator of the Edwards formation leaseholds of approximately $364,000. Because the two companies were under common control, the acquisition of these assets were reflected at their historical basis of Rio LLC by Pan Am, with the excess consideration being treated as a distribution to a member of Rio LLC as reflected under the Predecessor Business caption on the balance sheet presented in this document. As a result of application of the purchase method of accounting, which is based on the amount of consideration paid, these same assets are reflected using a stepped up basis in the Company’s balance sheet. Thus the Company’s financial statements from the periods prior to the transaction date are not directly comparable to the financial statements for periods subsequent to the transaction date.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the Company assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values as of the transaction date. In connection with the merger, the consideration paid, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition, are summarized in the following tables:
| | In thousands | |
Net assets acquired | | | | |
Cash | | $ | 50 | |
Prepaids | | | 22 | |

Asset retirement obligations | | | 10 | |
| | $ | 3,182 | |
| | | | |

Initial accounting for the acquisition was incomplete and provisional amounts were recorded in the initial interim periods after the acquisition. The amounts in the table above reflect updated information. The changes subsequent to the provisional information were a reduction of prepaid expenses of $150,000 and a corresponding reduction in accounts payable of $150,000.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements included herewith include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash equivalents.
Exploration Stage Enterprise
The Company has been devoting most of its efforts to exploring for and developing its oil and gas assets and, consequently, meets the definition of An Exploration Stage Enterprise, under the Accounting Standards Codification “Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises.” Certain additional financial information is required to be included in the financial statements for the period from inception of the Company to the current balance sheet date.
Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Principal useful lives are as follows:
Oil field equipment | 7 years |
Normal maintenance and repairs for property and equipment are charged to expense as incurred, while significant improvements are capitalized.
In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, as set forth in Topic 360 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification TM (the “FASC”), the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its non-oil and gas long-lived assets when events occur that indicate an impairment in value may exist. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.
RIO BRAVO OIL, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas operations. Under this method all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized on a country-by-country basis into an individual country “cost pool.” The Company has operations in the United States and, consequently, only has one cost pool. No gains or losses are recognized upon the sale or other disposition of oil and natural gas properties except in transactions that would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. The costs of unevaluated oil and natural gas properties are excluded from the amortizable base until the time that either proven reserves are found or it has been determined that such properties are impaired. As properties become evaluated, the related costs are transferred to the proved oil and natural gas properties cost pool using full cost accounting.
Under the full cost method the net book value of oil and natural gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed the estimated after-tax future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas properties, discounted at 10% (the “Ceiling Limitation”). In arriving at estimated future net revenues, estimated lease operating expenses, development costs, and certain production-related and ad valorem taxes are deducted. In calculating future net revenues, prices and costs are held constant indefinitely, except for changes that are fixed and determinable by existing contracts. Prices are determined using a simple arithmetic average of the first day of each month during the most recent twelve month period presented herein. The net book value is compared to the Ceiling Limitation on a quarterly and yearly basis. The excess, if any, of the net book value above the Ceiling Limitation is charged to expense in the period in which it occurs and is not subsequently reinstated.
Unit-of-production depletion is applied to capitalized costs of the full cost pool. Unit-of-production rates are based on the amount of proved reserves (both developed and undeveloped) of oil, gas and other minerals that are estimated to be recoverable from existing facilities using current operating methods.
The costs of investments in unproved properties and portions of costs associated with major development projects are excluded from the depreciation, depletion and amortization calculation until the project is evaluated.
Unproved property costs include leasehold costs, seismic costs and other costs incurred during the exploration phase. In areas where proved reserves are established, significant unproved properties are evaluated periodically, but not less than annually, for impairment. If a reduction in value has occurred, these property costs are considered impaired and are transferred to the related full cost pool. Unproved properties whose acquisition costs are not individually significant are aggregated, and the portion of such costs estimated to be ultimately nonproductive, based on experience, and is amortized to the full cost pool over an average holding period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the following material estimates affecting the financial statements could significantly change in the coming year.
The most significant estimates pertain to proven oil and natural gas reserves and related cash flow estimates used in impairment tests of long-lived assets, estimates of future development, dismantlement and abandonment costs. Certain of these estimates require assumptions regarding future costs and expenses and future production rates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company’s revenue, profitability and future growth are substantially dependent upon the prevailing and future prices for oil and natural gas, which are dependent upon numerous factors beyond their control such as economic, political and regulatory developments and competition from other energy sources. The energy markets have historically been very volatile and there can be no assurance that oil and natural gas prices will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in oil and natural gas prices could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and quantities of oil and natural gas reserves that may be economically produced.
RIO BRAVO OIL, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves and their values, future production rates and future costs and expenses are inherently uncertain for numerous reasons, including many factors beyond the Company’s control. Reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of data available and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. In addition, estimates of reserves may be revised based on actual production, results of subsequent exploration and development activities, prevailing commodity prices, operating cost and other factors. These revisions may be material and could materially affect future depletion, depreciation and amortization expense, dismantlement and abandonment costs, and impairment expense.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when hydrocarbons have been delivered, the customer has taken title and payment is reasonably assured.
Taxes Associated with Revenue Producing Transactions
The Company reports taxes assessed by state, local and U.S. federal governmental authorities from the production and sale of hydrocarbons on a line item under operating expenses.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting. The deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the deferred asset will not be realized.
The Company follows the guidance of FASC 740 Income Taxes, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should measure, recognize, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on income tax returns.
The Company recognizes the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has not taken any uncertain tax positions.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company provides for future asset retirement obligations on its resource properties and facilities based on estimates established by current legislation and industry practices. The asset retirement obligation is initially measured at fair value and capitalized as an asset retirement cost that is amortized on a straight line 15 year basis. The obligation is accreted through interest expense until it is expensed and or settled. The fair value of the obligation is estimated based on recent operations in the area and is then accreted using an expected inflation rate for oil field service costs. The Company recognizes revisions to either the timing or amount of the original estimate as increases or decreases to the asset retirement obligation.
The significant assumptions used to develop the expected liability during the period are as follows:
Average cost to remediate individual well sites: $4,000 to $7,000 (net to our interest)
Average gross salvage value expected from individual well sites remediated: $0 (net)
Expected inflation rate for oil field service costs: 5%
Risk weighted cost of credit: 8%
Average time to abandonment: 20 years
RIO BRAVO OIL, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Actual retirement costs will be recorded against the obligation when incurred. Any difference between the recorded asset retirement obligation and the actual retirement costs incurred is recorded as a gain or loss in the settlement period.

Concentrations
Upon acquisition of oil and gas field interests, the Company also became a party to joint operating agreements (“JOA’s”) that define the rights and responsibilities third party operators and passive interest holders. Under the JOA, the third party operator is responsible for acquiring customers to sell the oil and gas produced and to either performing or contracting out to other third parties to perform services necessary to continue and maintain undeveloped acreage. Currently all of the Company’s leasehold interests have as their third party operator Eagle Ford Oil Co. Inc. which is controlled by the former managing member of both Pan Am Oil Co., LLC and Rio Bravo Oil, LLC.
Concentrations of Market Risk
The future results of the company’s oil and natural gas operations will be affected by the market prices of oil and natural gas. The availability of a ready market for oil and natural gas products in the future will depend on numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including weather, imports, marketing of competitive fuels, proximity and capacity of oil and natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities, any oversupply or undersupply of oil, natural gas and liquid products, the regulatory environment, the economic environment, and other regional and political events, none of which can be predicted with certainty.
The Company operates in the exploration, development and production sector of the oil and gas industry. While certain of these customers and joint venture partners are affected by periodic downturns in the economy in general or in their specific segment of the oil and natural gas industry, the Company believes that its level of credit-related losses due to such economic fluctuations has been and will continue to be immaterial to the Company’s results of operations over the long-term.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. During the year the amount of bank deposits that exceeded Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance can be material.
Fair Value
As defined in authoritative guidance, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (“exit price”). To estimate fair value, the Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable.
The authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities ("Level 1" measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs ("Level 3" measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
RIO BRAVO OIL, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Level 1 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Other inputs that are observable, directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which the Company makes its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets and liabilities.
In instances in which multiple levels of inputs are used to measure fair value, hierarchy classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
| | Fair Value | | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Asset retirement obligation | | | 2,485,007 | | | | - | | | | - | | | | 2,485,007 | |
Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. Diluted loss per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares, using the treasury stock method. The Company’s calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes potential common shares as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 as the effect would be anti-dilutive (i.e. would reduce the loss per share). At December 31, 2012, warrants and preferred stock that were convertible into 12,639,453 shares of common stock were not included in the net loss per share calculation.
In accordance with SEC Accounting Series Release 280, the Company computes its income or loss applicable to common stock holders by subtracting dividends on preferred stock, including undeclared or unpaid dividends if cumulative, from it reported net loss and reports the same on the face of its statement of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards ASU 2011-05 to amend the guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income in ASC 220. ASU 2011-05 requires companies to present a single statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements, a statement of operations and a statement of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the alternative to present comprehensive income within the statement of equity. ASU 2011-05 does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The ASU should be applied retrospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, which deferred the changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION OF LEASEHOLD INTERESTS FROM NUMA LULING, LLC AND EAGLE FORD OIL CO, INC.
In June 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the leasehold interests held by Numa Luling, LLC (“Numa”). The purchase price of the leasehold interests acquired from Numa was 3,250,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock (see Note 8) plus the assumption of certain liabilities of Numa. The stock was valued at its then fair value upon issuance at $3,466,667. The acquisition of Numa increased the Company’s ownership interest in the Edwards formation leaseholds covering approximately 4,500 acres gross (2,143 net) in Texas. The Company acquired an approximate 25% working interest and approximate 18.75% net revenue interest (after pay out) in the Edwards formation leaseholds in Caldwell and Guadeloupe counties in Texas. The results of operation of Numa are included herein starting on June 1, 2012.
In May 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of 80% of the leasehold interests and approximately 500 wells held by Eagle Ford Oil Co, Inc. (“Eagle Ford”). The purchase price of the leasehold interests and wells acquired was approximately $2 million in cash plus a note for $225,000 plus the assumption of certain liabilities. Prior to the acquisition, Pan Am advanced Eagle Ford approximately $906,000 which was deducted from the $2 million cash payment required to be made to Eagle Ford. The Company assumed Eagle Ford’s liabilities to the previous leaseholders, the bankruptcy estate of Caltex Swabbing Co. Those liabilities were primarily $295,000 of the original upfront cash purchase price paid that was still owing to the bankruptcy estate and “Option B” liability that requires the Company to pay to the bankruptcy estate $5,000 per well drilled for the first 200 wells and in the event that 200 wells are not drilled on or before March 16, 2016, the difference between $1 million and the amount paid per well becomes immediately due. In 2012, the Company paid $171,798 of the $295,000 assumed liability. The Company recorded the fair value amount of the debt at the time of acquisition in the amount of $726,921 using an 8% risk free rate. As of December 31, 2012 the amount of the debt was $771,717. The Company acquired 80% working interest and approximate 60% net revenue interest in the same acreage as the Edwards formation, but for all depths below and above the Edwards formation. Eagle Ford retained the third party operating rights to the Fields and also has 20% of its interest carried by the Company for all drilling and swabbing operations. The swabbing operation currently holds production for the entire leasehold. The results of operation for Eagle Ford are included herein starting on April 1, 2012.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the Company assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair values as of the transaction date.

In 2012, the third party operator for the Company’s leasehold interests commenced several drilling and work-over programs targeting three different depths within the Buda and Edwards formations. The first program started by the third party operator was an attempt to test for recompleting the wells drilled in the 2010 drilling program that were all dry holes that were acquired by the Company with their purchase of Pan American Oil Co, LLC and Numa Luling, LLC (see Notes 2 and 4). During 2012 the Company began recomplete work on the #1H and the #3H wells. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had incurred drilling costs of approximately $232,000 in regards to this first program. The #1H well is still being tested, while the #3H well will go into production after proper pump size has been determined. The Company expects to be able to report production test results in the second quarter of 2013. The second program started was a small work-over program covering 4 previously inactive wells in the Austin chalk formation that were acquired in the purchase of the leasehold interest acquired from Eagle Ford Oil Co. Inc. (see Note 4). During 2012 the Company incurred work-over costs of approximately $98,000.
The third drilling program was the drilling of a new horizontal well nearby to the wells drilled in the 2010 drilling program noted above, the Tiller #4H well. The Company incurred drilling costs of approximately $1.38 million for this well, which was undergoing testing as of December 31, 2012. As of the date of these financial statements the well was undergoing flow testing and the Company expects to be able to report production test results in the second quarter of 2013.
Depletion expense amounted to $24,377 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

In 2011 Pan Am and Numa salvaged certain equipment from its failed first drilling program for use in future drilling programs. That equipment will be transferred to oil and gas properties cost pool upon completion of a successful drilling program such that the equipment can be utilized. Costs transferred to oil and gas properties will at that time stop being depreciated and will then be subject to amortization from the cost pool through depletion.
Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $73,107. There was no depreciation expense for the prior period ended December 31, 2011. For the predecessor company, depreciation expense amounted to approximately $3,000 for the period from January 1, 2012 through February 14, 2012 and zero for the year ended December 31, 2011.
NOTE 7 - NOTES AND ADVANCES PAYABLE
On December 22, 2011, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $200,000 to Michael J. Garnick, a stockholder. The promissory note accrued interest at 10% per annum and was due on February 15, 2012. As a condition for issuing the promissory note, the Company was obligated to issue 90,000 shares of its common stock to Michael J. Garnick. The relative fair value of the 90,000 shares of $750 was recognized as a discount to the debt. The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the term of the promissory note. The note was repaid in full in March 2012.
In connection with the acquisition of Pan Am the Company acquired certain advances payable and short term bridge notes in the principal amount of $1,900,000 from two unaffiliated entities. Of the $1,900,000 borrowed, $600,000 was evidenced by an unsecured promissory note, had an interest rate of 10% per annum and was repaid March 2012. The remaining $1,300,000 borrowed was evidenced by a series of loan agreements all with essentially the same terms; interest at the rate of 6% per annum, unsecured, and due on the earlier of December 31, 2012 or upon demand. As of December 31, 2012, $350,000 was due on this loan. The Company is currently in negotiations with the lender to extend the maturity date of the loan and expects to complete the extension in the second quarter of 2013.
In addition, in 2011 Pan Am was advanced approximately $90,000 by a then related party. The advance is non-interest bearing, is unsecured and due on demand and as of December 31, 2012 the balance the Company owed is $90,704.
On February 24, 2012, the Company received gross proceeds of $2.5 million from the sale of two promissory notes to two unrelated entities. The notes mature on December 31, 2014, bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, are unsecured and are convertible into up to 2.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain adjustments, at the option of the holders. In addition, should the Company’s common stock trade above $2.50 for a period of 30 or more consecutive trading days, the notes and all accrued and unpaid interest automatically convert into common stock of the Company, at the conversion rate then in effect. The Company determined that at issuance, no beneficial conversion feature was present.
RIO BRAVO OIL, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
In connection with the $2.5 million notes noted above, the Company paid a 10% fee to and unrelated third party who helped facilitate the transaction. The fee is being amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the loans. Through December 31, 2012 the Company amortized approximately $73,529 to interest expense. At December 31, 2012, the balance the Company owed was $2.5 million.
On April 30, 2012, the Company received gross proceeds of $750,000 from the sale of a promissory note that matures on April 30, 2017, is unsecured and bears interest at the rate of 3% per annum. The note contains conversion privileges such that the holder may convert at any time into common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of $0.75 per share. The conversion feature includes standard anti-dilution provisions. The Company recorded a discount of $150,000 as a result of the beneficial conversion feature, and amortized approximately $13,829 of the discount through December 31, 2012. The balance owed at December 31, 2012 was $750,000.
On May 21, 2012, the Company received gross proceeds of $300,000 from the sale of a promissory note that originally matured on the earlier of December 31, 2012 or upon the Company raising $1,500,000 in debt or equity after the sale of the note, bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum and is unsecured. On December 24, 2012, the maturity date of the note was extended until March 31, 2013. The Company is still in negotiations with the lender to extend that maturity date and expects to complete extension in the second quarter of 2013. In combination with the $750,000 note described above, the Company paid fees totaling $110,000 to acquire these loans. Since the original loans both had maturity dates of December 31, 2012, the entire fee was amortized to interest expense during 2012. The amount owed at December 31, 2012 was $300,000.
In October 2012 through December 2012 the Company received gross proceeds of $ 1,635,000 from the sale of promissory notes that mature on the earlier of December 31, 2013 or upon the Company raising $1,500,000 in debt or equity after the sale of the notes. The notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and are unsecured. The amount owed at December 31, 2012 was $1,635,000.
On May 25, 2012 the Company issued a note as part of the purchase price to acquire the 80% interest in the Eagle Ford Oil Co., Inc. oil and gas leaseholds (see Note 4) in the amount of $225,000 that matured on December 31, 2012, was unsecured and bears interest at the rate 5% per annum. As of December 31, 2012 the unpaid balance of the loan was $190,000. The Company is currently in negotiations with the lender to extend the maturity date of the loan and expects to complete the extension in the second quarter of 2013.
NOTE 8 - PREFERRED STOCK
Series A
In connection with the acquisition of Pan Am, the Company issued 5,500,000 shares of Series A preferred stock as partial consideration for the purchase. The Series A preferred stock had an initial issue price of $1 per share and accrues a dividend quarterly to each holder at the rate of 3% per annum based on the original issue price, payable quarterly in cash or in kind. Series A preferred holders are required to have received all dividends before any dividend on common stock may be issued. The Series A preferred ranks senior to common stock in the event of a liquidation or winding up of the Company. The Series A preferred may be converted in whole or in part at any time at the option of the holder at the rate of 1 common share for each Series A Preferred, subject to adjustments as defined in the Series A certificate of designation. In addition, should the common stock of the Company trade in any over the counter market above $1.75 per share for a period of at least 30 consecutive trading days, the Company have an initial public offering of any class of securities in which gross proceeds are in excess of $50 million or consummate a merger in which the existing Company shareholders obtain less than 50% of the voting control of the combined entity, then the Series A preferred will automatically convert into the number of shares of common stock as the then conversion rate indicates. In the event that holders elect not to convert their Series A preferred or no automatic conversion is triggered, on January 31, 2019, the Series A preferred will become mandatorily redeemable for cash at its original issue price plus any unpaid dividends accrued as of that date. On the date of issuance, the Company determined that no beneficial conversion feature was present. As of December 31, 2012 the Company accrued $144,375 of Series A dividends.
RIO BRAVO OIL, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
In March 2012, the Company commenced a separate offering of up to 10 million shares of Series A preferred stock in a private placement. As of December 31, 2012, no funds had yet been raised under the offering.
Series B
In connection with the acquisition of Numa, the Company issued 3,250,000 shares of Series B preferred stock as partial consideration for the purchase. The Series B preferred stock had an initial issue (also liquidation price) of $1 per share. The Series B ranks junior to the Series A preferred stock in respect to the payment of dividends but senior to shares of common stock. The Series B is non-cumulative and dividends must be declared before they become payable by the Company. The Series B ranks pari-passu in respect to liquidation and all other matters to the Series A preferred stock. Each share of Series B preferred stock may be converted at any time by the holder into 1.33 shares of common stock. In the event that the Company’s common stock trades above $1.75 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company closes on a qualified sale (as defined in the agreement) in which the consideration to be received is greater than $50 million, or the Company has an underwritten public offering with proceeds in excess of $50 million, the Series B preferred stock automatically converts into common stock at the rate of 1.33 common shares for each Series B share. The holders also have standard anti-dilution protections. On the date of issuance, the Company determined that no beneficial conversion feature was present.
Series C
The Board of Directors adopted a resolution on July 30, 2012 authorizing 12,000,000 shares of Series C convertible redeemable preferred stock with a par value of $.001. The original issuance price was $1.00 per share. The Series C Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up or dissolution, rank junior to or pari passau to other classes or series of preferred stock and prior to common stock.
The Corporation shall pay the holders of Series C Preferred Stock a dividend in an amount equal to five percent (5%) per annum multiplied by the Original Issue Price of the Series C Preferred Stock. Cumulative Preferred Dividends shall be payable in quarterly installments in cash or in kind, at the sole option of the Corporation.
Each share of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted by any holder thereof, without any further consideration, at any time, into 1.11 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Rate”).
Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the Conversion Rate upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
| (i) | The shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock shall trade at a price of over $1.75 per share (as adjusted for stock splits or other events which would result in an adjustment of the Conversion rate) for a period in excess of thirty (30) consecutive trading days and the shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock underlying the Series C Preferred Stock are either (i) included in an effective registration statement or (ii) eligible to be traded pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration. |
| (ii) | The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally for the election of directors.. |
| (iii) | The merger of the Company which results in the shareholders of the Company prior to the merger owning less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company following the merger. |
| (iv) | An underwritten initial public offering of the Company’s shares with gross proceeds of at least $50,000,000. |

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The conversion rate will be adjusted for the following:
| · | Stock Splits and Combinations. |
| · | Certain Dividends and Distributions. |
| · | Other Dividends and Distributions. |
| · | Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. |
| · | Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets. |

The Corporation shall mandatorily redeem all shares of Series C Preferred Stock which remain issued and outstanding at January 31, 2019 (“Redemption Date”) at a price equal to the sum of the Original Issue Price and the aggregate amount of any unpaid Cumulative Preferred Dividends attributable to such shares. Such redemption shall be made only to the extent the Corporation has funds legally available for such redemption as of the Redemption Date.
Except as otherwise provided herein or required by law, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote together as a single class with the holders of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, upon any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote. The holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which each share of Series C Preferred Stock held by such holders at the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken, is convertible.
During the quarter ending September 30, 2012 the Company raised gross proceeds of $492,000 and issued 492,000 shares of Series C preferred stock. In addition, the Company issued one warrant for each share of Series C preferred stock sold in the offering. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and expires 3 years from the date of issuance.
NOTE 9 - COMMON STOCK
On December 16, 2011, the Company filed a Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14-C disclosing that the holder of a majority of the Company’s common stock voted to (i) approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to (a) change the name of the Company from Soton Holdings Group, Inc. to “Rio Bravo Oil, Inc.”, (b) increase the authorized common stock from 75,000,000 shares, par value $0.001, to 120,000,000 shares, par value $0.001, and (c) create a class of preferred stock, consisting of 30,000,000 shares, par value $0.001, the rights, privileges, and preferences of which may be set by the Company’s Board of Directors without further shareholder approval; and (ii) grant the Board of Directors the authority to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation in the future for the purpose of effectuating a forward stock split at a ratio between 2-for-1 and 30-for-1 without further approval by the shareholders. These actions were approved by the holder of a majority of the Company’s voting securities. The name change, increase in authorized common stock and authorized preferred stock took effect with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada on January 19, 2012, with the name change to Rio Bravo Oil, Inc. recognized by FINRA and the OTC Bulletin Board effective January 26, 2012. The forward stock split became effective as of February 15, 2012. All share amounts have been restated for the forwards stock split since inception.

In May 2012 the Board of Directors adopted a stock compensation plan. The plan allows the Company to issue shares of common stock, options to purchase common stock or stock appreciation rights to employees, directors and consultants employed by the Company. The number of shares of common stock issuable under the plan is determined each January 1, such that the plan may issue shares of common stock or instruments to acquire common stock of the Company up to 15% of the then outstanding common stock of the Company. No awards were granted or outstanding during the period ending December 31, 2012.

Net Deferred Tax Asset | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
At December 31, 2012and 2011, the Company had expected net operating loss carry forwards for U.S. federal income tax of approximately $3,440,000 and $60,000, which will begin to expire in 2031 and 2030, respectively.
The Company continually assesses both positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets can be realized prior to their expiration. Management monitors Company-specific, industry and worldwide economic factors and assesses the likelihood that the Company’s NOL’s and other deferred tax attributes in the United States, state and local tax jurisdictions will be utilized prior to their expiration. The Company establishes a valuation allowance to reduce any net deferred tax assets for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. At December 31, 2012, the Company had a valuation allowance of $1,204,000 related to its net deferred tax assets.
For financial reporting purposes, the entire amount of deferred tax assets related principally to the net operating loss carry forwards has been offset by a valuation allowance due to uncertainty regarding the realization of the assets. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $1.197 million and $7,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
General
There have been significant changes in the U.S. economy, oil and gas prices and the finance industry which have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the Company in its attempt to obtain financing or in its process to produce commercially feasible gas exploration or production.
RIO BRAVO OIL, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Federal, state and local authorities regulate the oil and gas industry. In particular, gas and oil production operations and economies are affected by environmental protection statutes, tax statutes and other laws and regulations relating to the petroleum industry, as well as changes in such laws, changing administrative regulations and the interpretations and application of such laws, rules and regulations. The Company believes it is in compliance with all federal, state and local laws, regulations, and orders applicable to the Company and its properties and operations, the violation of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its financial condition.
Operating Hazards and Insurance
The gas and oil business involves a variety of operating risks, including the risk of fire, explosions, blow-outs, pipe failure, abnormally pressured formation, and environmental hazards such as oil spills, gas leaks, ruptures or discharges of toxic gases, the occurrence of any of which could result in substantial losses to the Company due to injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, cleanup responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties, and suspension of operations.
The Company is a passive working and net revenue interest owner and operator in the oil and gas industry. As such, the Company to date has not acquired its own insurance coverage over its passive interests in the properties; instead the Company has relied on the third party operators for its properties to maintain insurance to cover its operations.
There can be no assurance that insurance, if any, will be adequate to cover any losses or exposure to liability. Although the Company believes the policies obtained by the third party operators provide coverage in scope and in amounts customary in the industry, they do not provide complete coverage against all operating risks. An uninsured or partially insured claim, if successful and of significant magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial condition via its contractual liability to the prospect.
Title to Properties
The Company’s practice has been to acquire or have its members contribute ownership or leasehold rights to oil and natural gas properties from third parties. The Company’s existing rights are dependent on those previous third parties having obtained valid title to the properties. Prior to the commencement of oil or gas drilling operations on those properties, the third parties customarily conduct a title examination. The Company generally does not conduct examinations of title prior to obtaining its interests in its operations, but rely on representations from the third parties that they have good, valid and enforceable title to the oil and gas properties. Based upon the foregoing, the Company believes it has satisfactory title to their producing properties in accordance with customary practices in the oil and gas industry. The Company is not aware of any title deficiencies as of the date of these financial statements.
Potential Loss of Oil and Gas Interests/Cash Calls
The Company has agreed to be bound by the existing joint operating agreements with various operators for the drilling of oil and gas properties, and still owes certain operator payments on drilling wells. In addition, the Company might be subject to future cash calls due to (1) the drilling of any new well or wells on drilling sites; (2) rework or recompletion of a well; and (3) deepening or plugging back of dry holes, etc. If the Company does not pay delinquent amounts due or its share of future authorization for expenditures invoices, it may forfeit all of its rights in certain of its interests on the applicable prospects and any related profits. If one or more of the other members of the prospects fail to pay their share of the prospect costs, the Company may need to pay additional funds to protect its investments.
NOTE 12 - NON CASH DISCLOSURES NOT MADE ELSEWHERE
No amounts were paid for income taxes in the periods presented in these financial statements.

(see Note 4). The letter of intent specifies that upon completion of the #4H Tiller well currently being completed by the Company, 094 will drill 10 wells within the Edwards formation of which 100% of the costs shall be borne by 094. At the end of the 10 well program, 094 has the option to extend the program for a further 5 wells, borne at the sole cost of 094 or acquire 100% of the Company’s interest in the Edwards formation leasehold interests for $45 million, which price is reduced on a pro rata basis should oil prices drop below $85 per barrel down to a minimum of $30 million. Should 094 decide not to purchase 100% of the Company’s interest in the Edwards formation leasehold interests, then 094 will earn 80% of revenue from those 10 wells drilled by 094 until such time as it has recouped its costs, at which point its revenue interest reverts to 60%. In addition, 094 will also drill 5 wells within the Buda formation at 50% cost to earn 40% before payout and 30% after payout. At completion, 094 has the option to acquire 10% of the interest held by the Company in the Buda formation through payment of $7.5 million to the Company. In the event 094 chooses not pay the final option price it will earn only an after payout 30% interest in the 5 wells drilled by 094. At the time of entering the letter of intent, 094 paid a deposit of $300,000. The Company and 094 are still in negotiations and no agreement has been finalized.

ESTIMATED NET QUANTITIES OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES (unaudited)
RIO BRAVO OIL, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Users of this information should be aware that the process of estimating quantities of “proved” and “proved developed” natural gas and crude oil reserves is very complex, requiring significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of all available geological, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. The data for a given reservoir may also change substantially over time as a result of numerous factors including, but not limited to, additional development activity, evolving production history and continual reassessment of the viability of production under varying economic conditions. Consequently, material revisions to existing reserve estimates occur from time to time. Although every reasonable effort is made to ensure that reserve estimates reported represent the most accurate assessments possible, the significance of the subjective decisions required and variances in available data for various reservoirs make these estimates generally less precise than other estimates presented in connection with financial statements.
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of natural gas, crude oil and condensate, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations prior to the time at which contacts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the Company must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.
Proved developed reserves are proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and under existing economic and operating conditions.

STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS RELATING TO PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES — (unaudited)
The following information has been developed utilizing procedures prescribed by FASC Topic 932 and based on crude oil reserve and production volumes estimated by the Company’s engineering staff. It may be useful for certain comparative purposes, but should not be solely relied upon in evaluating the Company or its performance. Further, information contained in the following table should not be considered as representative of realistic assessments of future cash flows, nor should the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows be viewed as representative of the current value of the Company.
The Company believes that the following factors should be taken into account in reviewing the following information: (1) future costs and selling prices will probably differ from those required to be used in these calculations; (2) actual rates of production achieved in future years may vary significantly from the rate of production assumed in the calculations; (3) selection of a 10% discount rate is arbitrary and may not be reasonable as a measure of the relative risk inherent in realizing future net oil and gas revenues; and (4) future net revenues may be subject to different rates of income taxation.
Under the Standardized Measure, future cash inflows were estimated by applying the average first day price for each month during the period adjusted for fixed and determinable escalations to the estimated future production of period-end proven reserves. Future cash inflows were reduced by estimated future development, abandonment and production costs based on period-end costs in order to arrive at net cash flow before tax. Future income tax expenses have been computed by applying period-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 is required by FASC Topic 932.
Management does not rely solely upon 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 proven reserves and varying price and cost assumptions considered more representative of a range of possible economic conditions that may be anticipated.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Soton Holdings Group, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Soton Holdings Group, Inc. as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2011, and the period from inception (June 9, 2010) through September 30, 2010. Soton Holdings Group, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing 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 over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Soton Holdings Group, Inc. as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2011, and the period from inception (June 9, 2010) through September 30, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is in development stage and has incurred operating losses since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Soton Holdings Group, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S. on June 9, 2010 and was originally formed for the business of wine bottle distribution. The Company has not generated any revenue to date and consequently its operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from inception, June 9, 2010 through September 30, 2010 the Company has a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $20,287.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $20,287 as of September 30, 2011 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future 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 intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans and/or private placement of common stock.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Development Stage Entities
The Company is in the development stage as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, Development Stage Entities and as such is required to provide additional cumulative financial information.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation, using the fair value method. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.

Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with “ASC-260”, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company has no potential dilutive instruments and accordingly basic loss and diluted loss per share are equal.
Fiscal Periods
The Company's fiscal year end is September 30.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update 2010-29 that addresses the disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. This update clarifies that when public entities are required to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period, the pro forma information should be presented as if the business combination occurred as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year when comparative financial statements are presented. This update is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will not materially expand the consolidated financial statement footnote disclosures.
NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK
The authorized capital of the Company is 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $ 0.001 per share. On June 21, 2010, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.001 per share for total cash proceeds of $2,500. During the period July 19, 2010 to September 29, 2010, the Company issued 675,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.03 per share for total cash proceeds of $20,250. During the period June 9, 2010 (inception) to September 30, 2010, the Company sold a total of 3,175,000 shares of common stock for total cash proceeds of $22,750.

Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
As of September 30, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of $20,287 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2031. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.
NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTONS
On June 9, 2010, former CEO, CFO and director, Ms. Mariya Kokho, had loaned the Company $349. On September 20, 2011, she loaned an additional $600 to the Company. The loans are non-interest bearing, due upon demand and are unsecured.
NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES
On November 25, 2010, we entered into a Bottle Supply Agreement with Hangzhou Yangcheng Company, Ltd., a Chinese bottle producer, wherein we agreed to purchase wine bottles from Hangzhou. On August 15, 2011, we signed an Amendment No. 1 to the Bottle Supply Agreement with Hangzhou wherein we modified our agreement so that we are no longer obligated to purchase a minimum number of bottles. The amendment also revised the termination provisions.
NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from September 30, 2011 through the date whereupon the financial statements were issued and has determined that there are no items to disclose.
On October 17, 2011, the two largest holders of our common stock, as well as our two officers and directors, Ms. Mariya Kokho and Mr. Vasiliy Ignatenko, entered into a Agreement to Purchase Common Stock (the "Agreement") with Petrina Advisors, Inc., a New York corporation ("Petrina"), under which Petrina agreed to purchase an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of our common stock from Ms. Kokho and Mr. Ignatenko in exchange for $16,000. These shares represent approximately 79% of our outstanding common stock. The transaction closed November 22, 2011.
As noted above, under the Agreement, Ms. Kokho and Mr. Ignatenko, two of our affiliate-shareholders sold shares that represent approximately 79% of our outstanding common stock to Petrina. This transaction resulted in a change of control as Petrina now owns a majority of our outstanding voting securities.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Ms. Mariya Kokho resigned from her positions as our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer effective at the close of the transaction - November 22, 2011, and Mr. Vasiliy Ignatenko resigned from his position as our Secretary also effective at the close of the transaction - November 22, 2011. Ms. Kokho also resigned as a member of our Board of Directors, effective at the close of the transaction. Prior to the close of the transaction Ms. Kokho loaned the Company $2,000 on November 14, 2011 and $400 on November 21, 2011. The loans are non-interest bearing, due upon demand and are unsecured.
In conjunction with the close of the transaction, the following additions to our Board of Directors and executive management team occurred:
Mr. Paul Vassilakos, the President of Petrina Advisors, Inc., the holder of approximately 79% of our outstanding common stock, replaced Ms. Kokho as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and was appointed to serve on our Board of Directors. Mr. Miles Leahy replaced Mr. Ignatenko as our Secretary, and was appointed to serve on our Board of Directors.

Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Continued)
On December 22, 2011, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $200,000 to Michael J. Garnick, an unaffiliated lender. The promissory note accrues interest at 10% per annum and is due on February 15, 2011. As a condition for issuing the promissory note, the Company is obligated to issue 3,000 shares of its common stock to Michael J. Garnick. As of December 26, 2011, we had not received the funds from Mr. Garnick but expect to receive them shortly.
On December 16, 2011, we filed a Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14-C disclosing that the holder of a majority of our common stock voted to (i) approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to (a) change the name of the Company from Soton Holdings Group, Inc. to “Rio Bravo Oil, Inc.”, (b) increase the authorized common stock from 75,000,000 shares, par value $0.001, to 120,000,000 shares, par value $0.001, and (c) create a class of preferred stock, consisting of 30,000,000 shares, par value $0.001, the rights, privileges, and preferences of which may be set by the Company’s Board of Directors without further shareholder approval; and (ii) grant the Board of Directors the authority to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation in the future for the purpose of effectuating a forward stock split at a ratio between 2-for-1 and 35-for-1 without further approval by the shareholders. Although these actions have been approved by the holder of a majority of our voting securities we cannot effect these actions until we have filed a Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14-C, mailed the Information Statement to our shareholders, at least 20 days have passed since we mailed the document to our shareholders, properly notify FINRA under FINRA Rule 6490, and FINRA has approved the actions. We hope to effect these actions on or before the end of January, 2012.
The primary purpose of the corporate actions is to prepare the company for its new business focus which is to shift the focus of our business to the oil and gas industry by acquiring existing oil and gas leases and interests.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (also our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company’s management, including the Company’s President (“President”) (the Company’s principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation the Company’s President and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2012 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
b)Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
| ● | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
| ● | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
| ● | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of December 31, 2012, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board was (a) the lack of a functioning audit committee, (b) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements, (c)a lack of expertise with US generally accepted accounting principles and SEC rules and regulations for review of critical accounting areas and disclosures and material non-standard transactions and (d) lack of effective oversight during the financial close process resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our management in connection with the review of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Management believes that the material weakness set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors, coupled with not having individuals on staff or retainer with a thorough knowledge of US GAAP and SEC rules and regulations and lack of effective oversight on the financial close process results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only the management's report in this annual report.
(c) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the last fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
The Company’s management, including the Company’s President and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not currently have an audit committee financial expert, nor do we have an audit committee. Our entire board of directors handles the functions that would otherwise be handled by an audit committee. We do not currently have the capital resources to pay director fees to a qualified independent expert who would be willing to serve on our board and who would be willing to act as an audit committee financial expert. As our business expands and as we appoint others to our board of directors we expect that we will seek a qualified independent expert to become a member of our board of directors.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES
We do not have a separate audit committee. Our full board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee. Before an independent auditor is engaged by us to render audit or non-audit services, our board of directors pre-approves the engagement. Board of directors pre-approval of audit and non-audit services will not be required if the engagement for the services is entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by our board of directors regarding our engagement of the independent auditor, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, our board of directors is informed of each service provided, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of our board of directors' responsibilities under the Exchange Act to our management. Our board of directors may delegate to one or more designated members of our board of directors the authority to grant pre-approvals, provided such approvals are presented to the board of directors at a subsequent meeting. If our board of directors elects to establish pre-approval policies and procedures regarding non-audit services, the board of directors must be informed of each non-audit service provided by the independent auditor. Board of directors pre-approval of non-audit services, other than review and attest services, also will not be required if such services fall within available exceptions established by the SEC. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, 100% of audit-related services, tax services and other services performed by our independent auditors were pre-approved by our board of directors.
Our board has considered whether the services described above under the caption "All Other Fees", which are currently none, is compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.
The board approved all fees described above.
