CAUTIONARY DEBENTURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Our disclosure and analysis in this Current Report on Form 8-K contains some forward-looking statements. Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or that include words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" and similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to several risks and uncertainties.
Investors are cautioned that our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the actual results or developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements.
As for the forward-looking statements that relate to future financial results and other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates, forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than projected. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements also represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date that they were made. We expressly disclaim a duty to provide updates to these forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, after the date of this filing to reflect events or changes in circumstances or changes in expectations or the occurrence of anticipated events.
You are advised to consult any additional disclosures we make in our reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K, or their successors. Other factors besides those discussed in this Current Report could also adversely affect us.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On January 30, 2015, the Company issued Convertible Promissory Notes in the principal amount of $50,000 with a fixed floor conversion price (the “Notes”) and three year options to purchase 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $.005 per share (the “Options”) to each of four investors (each an “Investor” and together “Investors”). In consideration for the sale of the Notes and the Options, the Company received total cash proceeds of $200,000. The Investors approached the Company with the transaction; there was no broker-dealer involved and no commission was paid to a third party. Each of the Notes bears interest on its outstanding principal amount at the rate of 10% per annum. Principal and interest payments on the Notes are to be made quarterly by the Company commencing June 30, 2015 out of fixed percentages of certain types of potential revenues related to sand. The Company retains the right to use other cash flows to repay the Notes. The maturity date of the Notes is January 30, 2018 at which time all outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be due.

The Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a fixed conversion price of $0.0025 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and reorganizations. The Notes may be prepaid by the Company, without premium or penalty. Upon a notice of prepayment from the Company, the Investor has the right to decline receipt of such prepayment and instead convert an equivalent amount to Common Stock.
The cash exercise price of the Options is also subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and reorganizations.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The information set forth in Item 2.03 hereof is incorporated by reference herein.
