PROSPECTUS
THREE FORKS, INC.
3,637,028 shares of common stock of selling shareholders
We are registering:
| (a) | 3,637,028 shares listed for sale on behalf of selling shareholders; |
We willnot receive any proceeds from sales of shares by selling shareholders.
Our selling shareholders plan to sell common shares at $1.50, until such time as a market develops for any of the securities and thereafter at such prices as the market may dictate from time to time. There is no market price for the stock and our pricing is arbitrary with no relation to market value, liquidation value, earnings or dividends. The price was arbitrarily set at $1.50 per share, based on speculative concept unsupported by any other comparables. We have set the initial fixed price as follows:
Title | Price Per Share |
Common Stock | $1.50 |
At any time after a market develops, our security holders may sell their securities at market prices or at any price in privately negotiated transactions.
This offering involves a high degree of risk; see“RISK FACTORS” beginning on page 7 to read about factors you should consider before buying shares of the common stock.
These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any state or provincial securities commission, nor has the SEC or any state or provincial securities commission passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
We intend to obtain a listing for our stock on an exchange in the future, but cannot make any assurances that we will be approved for such listing, as the exchanges have certain listing requirements that we would have to meet.

ITEM 3. PROSPECTUS SUMMARY INFORMATION, RISK FACTORS AND RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
Our Company
Three Forks, Inc. (hereafter “Three Forks,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated on March 28, 2012 in the State of Colorado. Our business plan focuses on our development as an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of North American conventional oil and gas properties through the acquisition of leases and/or royalty interests.
At present, our current oil and gas projects consist of:
| - | In Archer County, Texas, we are a 49% working interest (“WI”) owner in a joint venture agreement where the joint venture has drilled and completed one well. |
| - | In Archer County, Texas, we have a 11% WI through a Farmout in 290 net, 320 gross acres with 5 wells. We are also the manager of Three Forks No. 1, LLC (“Three Forks No. 1”) which owns 87% of the working interest in the Farmout acreage. |
| - | In Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, we have a 25% WI in 290/290 net/gross acres upon which the first well was drilled in July 2013 and has now been completed and is being put into production. |
| - | The Five JAB project located in Southeast Texas – Southwest Louisiana where we have a non-operated 75% WI in 13 producing wells, 9 service wells and 14 additional wellbores. |
We intend to acquire additional acreage to drill in other areas where deemed attractive, though no such additional prospects have been identified at the time of this filing.
On September 7, 2012, we acquired working interests between 10.12% and 10.50% in 5 producing oil and gas wells along with mineral interests in proved undeveloped leaseholds totaling approximately 320 acres located in Weld County, Colorado valued at $1,477,990, as well as, a 76.25% working interest in undeveloped leaseholds totaling approximately 120 acres located in Morgan County, Colorado valued at $14,000 in exchange for the issuance of 700,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $1,400,000 or $2.00 per share and the assumption of certain debt in the amount of $91,990. In addition, we were required to fund an escrow account in the amount of $55,000 for legal services that may occur over a three year period from the date of the acquisition until December 31, 2014. This escrow account at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 has a balance of $55,163 and $55,081, respectively. .On January 1, 2013, we sold our entire interest in these oil and gas properties located in Weld County, Colorado, for $1,600,000 in cash.
Our Auditors have issued a going concern opinion and the reasons noted for issuing the opinion are our lack of revenues and modest capital.
Factors that make this offering highly speculative or risky are:
| · | There is a limited market for any securities; |
| · | We have minimal revenues or sales; and |
| · | We are undercapitalized. |
Our principal executive offices are located at 555 Eldorado Boulevard, Suite 100, Broomfield, Colorado 80021 and our telephone number is (303) 404-2160. We maintain a website at www.threeforksinc.com, such website is not incorporated into or a part of this filing.

GLOSSARY
The following are definitions of terms used in this Memorandum:
Bbl. An abbreviation for the term “barrel” which is a unit of measurement of volume of oil or related petroleum products. One barrel (one bbl) is the equivalent of 42 U.S. gallons or approximately 159 liters.
Bonus Payment. Usually a one time payment made to a mineral owner as consideration for the execution of an oil and gas lease.
Casing Point. That point in time during the drilling of an oil well at which a decision is made to install well casing and to attempt to complete the well as an oil producer.
Completion. The procedure used in finishing and equipping an oil or gas well for production.
Delay Rental. Payment made to the lessor under a nonproducing oil and gas lease at the end of each year to continue the lease in force for another year during its primary term.
Development Well. A well drilled to a known producing formation in a previously discovered field, usually offsetting a producing well on the same or an adjacent oil and gas lease.
Exploratory Well. A well drilled either (a) in search of a new and as yet undiscovered pool of oil or gas or (b) with the hope of significantly extending the limits of a pool already developed (also known as a “wildcat well”).
Farmin. An agreement which allows a party earn a full or partial working interest (also known as an “earned working interest”) in an oil and gas lease in return for providing exploration or development funds.
Farmout. An agreement whereby the owner of the leasehold or working interest agrees to assign a portion of his interest in certain acreage subject to the drilling of one or more specific wells or other performance by the assignee as a condition of the assignment. Under a farmout, the owner of the leasehold or working interest may retain some interest such as an overriding royalty interest, an oil and gas payment, offset acreage or other type of interest.
Gross Acre. An acre in which a working interest is owned. The number of gross acres is the total number of acres in which an interest is owned (see “Net Acre” below).
Gross Well. A well in which a working interest is owned. The number of gross wells is the total number of wells in which a working interest is owned.
Landowner Royalty. That interest retained by the holder of a mineral interest upon the execution of an oil and gas lease which usually ranges from 1/8 to ¼ of all gross revenues from oil and gas production unencumbered with an expenses of operation, development or maintenance.
Leases. Full or partial interests in oil or gas properties authorizing the owner of the lease to drill for, produce and sell oil and gas upon payment of rental, bonus, royalty or any of them. Leases generally are acquired from private landowners (fee leases) and from federal and state governments on acreage held by them.
Lease Play. A term used to describe lease acquisition activity in a prospect or geologically defined area.
Mcf. An abbreviation for “1,000 cubic feet,” which is a unit of measurement of volume for natural gas.
Net Well or Acre. A net well or acre exists when the sum of the fractional ownership working interests in gross wells or acres equals one. The number of net wells or acres is the sum of the factional working interests owned in gross wells or acres expressed as whole number and fractions thereof.
Net Revenue Interest. The fractional undivided interest in the oil or gas or in the revenues from the sale of oil or gas attributable to a particular working interest after reduction for a proportionate share of landowner’s royalty interest and overriding royalty interest.
Overriding Royalty. An interest in the gross revenues or production over and above the landowner’s royalty carved out of the working interest and also unencumbered with any expenses of operation, development or maintenance.
Payout. The point in time when the cumulative total of gross income from the production of oil and gas from a given well (and any proceeds from the sale of such well) equals the cumulative total cost and expenses of acquiring, drilling, completing and operating such well, including tangible and intangible drilling and completion costs.
Prospect. A geological area which is believed to have the potential for oil or gas production.
Proved Reserves.Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and 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 – prior to the time at which contracts 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 operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.
The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes all of the following: (a) the area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (b) adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data. In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish a lower contact with reasonable certainty.
Reserves that can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when both of the following occur: (a) successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir of an analogous reservoir, or other evidence of reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based, and (b) the project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.
Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic productivity from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.
Proved Developed Reserves. Proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered: (i) through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the costs of a new well; and (ii) through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserve estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.
Proved Undeveloped Reserves. Proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic productivity at greater distances. Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time. Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.
Reversionary Interest. The portion of the working interest in an oil and gas lease which will be returned to its former owner when payout occurs or after a predetermined amount of production and income has been produced.
Undeveloped Leasehold Acreage. Leased acreage on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil and gas.
Working Interest. An interest in an oil and gas lease entitling the holder at its expense to conduct drilling and production operations on the leased property and to receive the net revenues attributable to such interest, after deducting the landowner’s royalty, any overriding royalties, production costs, taxes and other costs.
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY
Our securities, as offered hereby, are highly speculative and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in us. Each prospective investor should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as all other information set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, before purchasing any of the shares of our common stock.
Our business has an operating history of only a year and a half and is unproven and therefore risky.
We have only recently begun operations under the business plan discussed herein. Stockholders should be made aware of the risk and difficulties encountered by a new enterprise in the oil and gas industry, especially in view of the intense competition from existing businesses in the industry.
We have a lack of revenue history and stockholders cannot view our past performance since we have a limited operating history.
We were incorporated on March 28, 2012 for the purpose of engaging in any lawful business and have adopted a plan to engage the acquisition, exploration, and if warranted, development of natural resource properties. During the period of inception March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012, we did recognize revenues of $78,726 from the operations of our properties in Weld County, Colorado, which were sold in January 2013, as well as, recognize revenues of $1,026,715 through our predecessor from the operations of the Five Jab properties. We recognized revenues during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 of $894,128. We are not profitable. We must be regarded as a new venture with all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, risks and difficulties to which such ventures are subject.
We are not diversified and we will be dependent on only one business.
Because of the limited financial resources that we have, it is unlikely that we will be able to diversify our operations. Our probable inability to diversify our activities into more than one area will subject us to economic fluctuations within the energy industry and therefore increase the risks associated with our operations due to lack of diversification.
We can give no assurance of success or profitability to our stockholders.
There is no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. There is no assurance that we will generate revenues or profits, or that the market price of our common stock will be increased thereby.
We may have a shortage of working capital in the future which could jeopardize our ability to carry out our business plan.
Our capital needs consist primarily of expenses related to geological evaluation, general and administrative and exploration and workover participation and could exceed $15,000,000 in the next twelve months. Such funds are not currently committed, and we have cash of approximately $74,275 as of December 31, 2013.
If we find oil and gas reserves to exist on a prospect, we will need substantial additional financing to fund the necessary exploration and development work. Furthermore, if the results of that exploration and development work are successful, we will need substantial additional funds for continued development. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any financing. These various financing alternatives may dilute the interest of our stockholders and/or reduce our interest in the properties.
We have limited access to additional funds and we will need additional funds to execute our business plan.
We have limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to carryout the business plan in the oil and gas industry. We have closed on a 4-year Credit Facility as discussed below. If we need additional capital, we have no assurance that funds will be available from the Credit Facility, if we have not met the terms of the Credit Facility. If not available, our operations will be limited to those that can be financed with our modest capital.
On May 9, 2014, we closed on a four (4) year Credit Facility with Guaranty Bank and Trust (“GBT”) for a loan commitment up to $50,000,000. This Credit Facility allows us subject to terms and conditions to borrow from the Credit Facility amounts in the form of notes issued by the Company to the Lender. The notes are collateralized by our oil and gas properties and require that the Company pay interest monthly in arrears on the unpaid balance of the notes at varying rates but not to exceed 5.0% per annum. On May 9, 2014, we borrowed $3,500,000 off of the Credit Facility of which $1,050,000 was used towards financing costs, working capital, workover of additional wells acquired from Five JAB and payment in full of outstanding promissory notes due by the Company at March 31, 2014 totaling $385,000 including $300,000 owed to Mr. Pollard. The remaining $2,450,000 of funds borrowed off of the Credit Facility is available to be used by the Company at its discretion.
The Credit Facility provides for the Lender to perform a redetermination, at any time, of the Company’s borrowing base based on engineering reports regarding the Company’s proven reserves, and such adjustments to be made based upon those reports. Further, the Company is required to comply with minimum owner’s equity balance and is not able to exceed a leverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 in order to comply with the covenants of the Credit Facility.(Comment No. 2)
We may in the future issue more shares which could cause a loss of control by our present management and current stockholders.
We may issue further shares as consideration for the cash or assets or services out of our authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance, represent a majority of the voting power and equity of our Company. The result of such an issuance would be those new stockholders and management would control our Company, and persons unknown could replace our management at this time. Such an occurrence would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of our Company by our current stockholders, which could present significant risks to stockholders.
We have secured convertible debt which is convertible into our common stock. A conversion of such debt could have a dilutive effect to existing shareholders.
In September 2013, we commenced a private offering of $2,000,000 Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in order to complete the purchase of the remaining 37.5% WI in the Five JABS property discussed above. These notes are due in September 2014 and are convertible into shares of our common stock in whole or in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per share 6 months after issuance of the secured convertible promissory note. The conversion of the convertible promissory notes into shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to the holdings of our existing shareholders. The Secured Convertible Promissory Notes are secured by the Company’s 75% of the right, title and working interest in 1,955 gross leasehold acres including 13 producing wells, 9 service wells and 14 additional wellbores located in the States of Texas and Louisiana, the Five JABS properties. The offering was not fully subscribed and a total of $1,535,000 was raised. Tincup Oil and Gas, LLC of which Mr. Ranew, a former director of the Company, is a member, holds a Secured Convertible Promissory Note for $250,000. At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $1,475,000 in outstanding secured convertible promissory notes.
On March 31, 2014, holders of the above promissory notes purchased 1,390,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of their promissory notes issued to them by the Company in the amount of $1,390,000. A warrant entitles the holder for a term of two years to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at the rate of $1.00 per share. Therefore, as of March 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,390,000 warrants to holders of the promissory notes in cancellation of $1,390,000 in debt.
Mr. Pollard, a director and former officer, and Mr. Ranew, a former director of the Company are holders of $600,000 of the Secured Convertible Promissory Notes at terms different than those of non-affiliated Secured Convertible Promissory Note holders. A failure to meet the terms of such debt, could result in them taking ownership of part of the assets securing such assets.
Separately and apart, two members of management agreed to make up the difference of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note Offering and the purchase price of Five JABS in a separate transaction with separate terms with the Company. Mr. Charles Pollard and Mr. Lester Ranew, officers and directors of the Company, at the time, in exchange for secured convertible promissory notes provided the Company with a total of $600,000 cash ($300,000 each). At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $600,000 to Mr. Pollard and Mr. Ranew.
Mr. Pollard’s and Mr. Ranew’s notes have a due date of January 2, 2014 and allow for the conversion of the notes into common stock upon issuance. Their notes provide that in addition to having a due date of January 2, 2014, that at the due date they will each receive a $7,500 payment of fees and interest. If the notes are not paid at January 2, 2014, the Company is required to take immediate steps to liquidate the secured property and the due date will be extended to April 2, 2014. At January 2, 2014, the Company failed to make payment on the notes. At that time Mr. Pollard and Ranew each entered into an Extension and Waiver with the Company. The Extension and Waiver provides that the payment date shall be extended to April 2, 2014 and both holders have waived the provision that steps be taken to liquidate the secured property at this time. On April 7, 2014, Mr. Pollard extended the payment date on his note to May 2, 2014 and if the payment is not made or the property has not been liquidated then he will be assigned a 5.625% interest in the Five JABS properties. On March 31, 2014, Mr. Ranew purchased 300,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of his promissory note issued to him by the Company in the amount of $300,000. In May 2014, Mr. Pollard's note was paid in full.
We have authorized and designated a Class A Preferred Convertible Stock, which having voting rights equivalent to our common stock.
Class A Preferred Convertible Stock (the “Class A Preferred Stock”) of which 500,000 shares of preferred stock have been authorized for the class and the shares have a deemed purchase price at $4.50 per share. The Class A Preferred Stock are to have voting rights equivalent to their conversion rate, one (1) share of Class A Preferred Stock equals one (1) share of common stock. At this time, no shares of the Class A Preferred Stock have been issued.
Holders of the Class A Preferred Stock would have the ability equal to that of our common stockholders to vote in any vote of the common stockholders. The Class A Preferred Stock would have a voting equivalent of 4.3%, if issued at this time.
We have options, warrants and convertible promissory notes issued and outstanding which are convertible into our common stock. A conversion of such equity instruments could have a dilutive effect to existing stockholders.
As of March 31, 2014, we have options, warrants and convertible notes issued and outstanding exercisable into 6,164,726 shares of our common stock at ranges from $0.10 to $3.00 per share. The options, warrants and convertible promissory notes are exercisable in whole or in part. The exercise of the options, warrants and convertible promissory notes into shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to the holdings of our existing stockholders.
Our officers and directors may have conflicts of interests as to corporate opportunities which we may not be able or allowed to participate in.
Presently there is no requirement contained in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or minutes which requires officers and directors of our business to disclose to us business opportunities which come to their attention. Our officers and directors do, however, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty to us to disclose to us any business opportunities which come to their attention, in their capacity as an officer and/or director or otherwise. Excluded from this duty would be opportunities which the person learns about through his involvement as an officer and director of another company. We have no intention of merging with or acquiring a business opportunity from any affiliate or officer or director.
We have agreed to indemnification of officers and directors as is provided by Colorado Statutes.
Colorado Statutes provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person’s promise to repay us therefore if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us that we will be unable to recoup.
Our directors’ liability to us and stockholders is limited
Colorado Statutes exclude personal liability of our directors and our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty except in certain specified circumstances. Accordingly, we will have a much more limited right of action against our directors that otherwise would be the case. This provision does not affect the liability of any director under federal or applicable state securities laws.
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
Any person or entity contemplating an investment in the securities offered hereby should be aware of the high risks involved and the hazards inherent therein. Specifically, the investor should consider, among others, the following risks:
Our business, the oil and gas business has numerous risks which could render us unsuccessful.
The search for new oil and gas reserves frequently results in unprofitable efforts, not only from dry holes, but also from wells which, though productive, will not produce oil or gas in sufficient quantities to return a profit on the costs incurred. There is no assurance we will find or produce oil or gas from any of the undeveloped acreage farmed out to us or which may be acquired by us, nor are there any assurances that if we ever obtain any production it will be profitable. (See “Business and Properties”)
We have substantial competitors who have an advantage over us in resources and management.
We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the oil and gas business. Most of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than us and, consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying and developing or exploring suitable prospects. Competitor’s resources could overwhelm our restricted efforts to acquire and explore oil and gas prospects and cause failure of our business plan.
We will be subject to all of the market forces in the energy business, many of which could pose a significant risk to our operations.
The marketing of natural gas and oil which may be produced by our prospects will be affected by a number of factors beyond our control. These factors include the extent of the supply of oil or gas in the market, the availability of competitive fuels, crude oil imports, the world-wide political situation, price regulation, and other factors. Current economic and market conditions have created dramatic fluctuations in oil prices. Any significant decrease in the market prices of oil and gas could materially affect our profitability of oil and gas activities.
There generally are only a limited number of gas transmission companies with existing pipelines in the vicinity of a gas well or wells. In the event that producing gas properties are not subject to purchase contracts or that any such contracts terminate and other parties do not purchase our gas production, there is assurance that we will be able to enter into purchase contracts with any transmission companies or other purchasers of natural gas and there can be no assurance regarding the price which such purchasers would be willing to pay for such gas. There may, on occasion, be an oversupply of gas in the marketplace or in pipelines; the extent and duration may affect prices adversely. Such oversupply may result in reductions of purchases and prices paid to producers by principal gas pipeline purchasers. (See “Our Business and Competition, Markets, Regulation and Taxation.”)
We believe stockholders should consider certain negative aspects of our operations.
Dry Holes: We may expend substantial funds acquiring and potentially participating in exploring properties which we later determine not to be productive. All funds so expended will be a total loss to us.
Technical Assistance: We will find it necessary to employ technical assistance in the operation of our business. As of the date of this Prospectus, we have not contracted for any technical assistance. When we need it such assistance is likely to be available at compensation levels we would be able to pay.
Uncertainty of Title: We will attempt to acquire leases or interests in leases by option, lease, farmout or by purchase. The validity of title to oil and gas property depends upon numerous circumstances and factual matters (many of which are not discoverable of record or by other readily available means) and is subject to many uncertainties of existing law and our application. We intend to obtain an oil and gas attorney’s opinion of valid title before any significant expenditure upon a lease.
Government Regulations: The area of exploration of natural resources has become significantly regulated by state and federal governmental agencies, and such regulation could have an adverse effect on our operations. Compliance with statutes and regulations governing the oil and gas industry could significantly increase the capital expenditures necessary to develop our prospects.
Nature of our Business:Our business is highly speculative, involves the commitment of high-risk capital, and exposes us to potentially substantial losses. In addition, we will be in direct competition with other organizations which are significantly better financed and staffed than we are.
General Economic and Other Conditions: Our business may be adversely affected from time to time by such matters as changes in general economic, industrial and international conditions; changes in taxes; oil and gas prices and costs; excess supplies and other factors of a general nature.
Our business is subject to significant weather interruptions.
Our activities may be subject to periodic interruptions due to weather conditions. Weather-imposed restrictions during certain times of the year on roads accessing properties could adversely affect our ability to benefit from production on such properties or could increase the costs of drilling new wells because of delays.
We are subject to significant operating hazards and uninsured risk in the energy industry.
Our proposed operations will be subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incident to exploring, drilling for and producing oil and gas, such as encountering unusual or unexpected formations and pressures, blowouts, environmental pollution and personal injury. We will maintain general liability insurance but we have not obtained insurance against such things as blowouts and pollution risks because of the prohibitive expense. Should we sustain an uninsured loss or liability, or a loss in excess of policy limits, our ability to operate may be materially adversely affected.
We are subject to Federal Income Tax laws and changes therein which could adversely impact us.
Federal income tax laws are of particular significance to the oil and gas industry in which we engage. Legislation has eroded various benefits of oil and gas producers and subsequent legislation could continue this trend. Congress is continually considering proposals with respect to Federal income taxation which could have a material adverse effect on our future operations and on our ability to obtain risk capital which our industry has traditionally attracted from taxpayers in high tax brackets.
We are subject to substantial government regulation in the energy industry which could adversely impact us.
The production and sale of oil and gas are subject to regulation by state and federal authorities, the spacing of wells and the prevention of waste. There are both federal and state laws regarding environmental controls which may necessitate significant capital outlays, resulting in extended delays, materially affect our earnings potential and cause material changes in the in our proposed business. We cannot predict what legislation, if any, may be passed by Congress or state legislatures in the future, or the effect of such legislation, if any, on us. Such regulations may have a significant effect on our operating results.
RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR STOCK
No public market exists for our common stock at this time, and there is no assurance of a future market.
There is no public market for our common stock, and no assurance can be given that a market will develop or that a shareholder ever will be able to liquidate his investment without considerable delay, if at all. If a market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Factors such as those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section may have a significant impact upon the market price of the shares offered hereby. Due to the low price of our securities, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in our securities. Even if a purchaser finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in our shares, the combination of brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of our shares as collateral for any loans.
Our stock, if ever listed, will in all likelihood be thinly traded and as a result you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to liquidate your shares.
The shares of our common stock, if ever listed, may be thinly-traded. We are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional stockholders and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven, early stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of any of our Securities until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our Securities is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on Securities price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common Securities will develop or be sustained, or that any trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give stockholders no assurance that they will be able to sell their shares at or near ask prices or at all if they need money or otherwise desire to liquidate their securities.
Our common stock may be volatile, which substantially increases the risk that you may not be able to sell your securities at or above the price that you may pay for the security.
If we are able to obtain an exchange listing of our common stock in the future, because of the possible price volatility, you may not be able to sell your shares of common stock when you desire to do so. The inability to sell your securities in a rapidly declining market may substantially increase your risk of loss because of such illiquidity and because the price for our securities may suffer greater declines because of our price volatility.
The price of our common stock that will prevail in the market after this offering may be higher or lower than the price you may pay. Certain factors, some of which are beyond our control, that may cause our share price to fluctuate significantly include, but are not limited to the following:
| · | Variations in our quarterly operating results; |
| · | Loss of a key relationship or failure to complete significant transactions; |
| · | Additions or departures of key personnel; and |
| · | Fluctuations in stock market price and volume. |
Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company. These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, class action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of those companies common stock. If we become involved in this type of litigation in the future, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative effect on your investment in our stock.
The regulation of penny stocks by the SEC and FINRA may discourage the tradability of our securities.
We are a “penny stock” company, as our stock price is less than $5.00 per share. If we are able to obtain an exchange listing for our stock, we cannot make an assurance that we will be able to maintain a stock price greater than $5.00 per share and if the share price was to fall to such prices, that we wouldn’t be subject to the Penny Stocks rules. None of our securities currently trade in any market and, if ever available for trading, will be subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited stockholders. For purposes of the rule, the phrase “accredited stockholders” means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse’s income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks”. Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
Stockholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
Inventory in penny stocks have limited remedies in the event of violations of penny stock rules. While the courts are always available to seek remedies for fraud against us, most, if not all, brokerages require their customers to sign mandatory arbitration agreements in conjunctions with opening trading accounts. Such arbitration may be through an independent arbiter. Stockholders may file a complaint with FINRA against the broker allegedly at fault, and FINRA may be the arbiter, under FINRA rules. Arbitration rules generally limit discovery and provide more expedient adjudication, but also provide limited remedies in damages usually only the actual economic loss in the account. Stockholders should understand that if a fraud case is filed an against a company in the courts it may be vigorously defended and may take years and great legal expenses and costs to pursue, which may not be economically feasible for small stockholders.
That absent arbitration agreements, specific legal remedies available to stockholders of penny stocks include the following:
If a penny stock is sold to the investor in violation of the requirements listed above, or other federal or states securities laws, the investor may be able to cancel the purchase and receive a refund of the investment.
If a penny stock is sold to the investor in a fraudulent manner, the investor may be able to sue the persons and firms that committed the fraud for damages.
The fact that we are a penny stock company will cause many brokers to refuse to handle transactions in the stocks, and may discourage trading activity and volume, or result in wide disparities between bid and ask prices. These may cause stockholders significant illiquidity of the stock at a price at which they may wish to sell or in the opportunity to complete a sale. Stockholders will have no effective legal remedies for these illiquidity issues.
We will pay no foreseeable dividends in the future.
We have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not ever anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. Stockholders whose investment criteria are dependent on dividends should not invest in our common stock.
Rule 144 sales in the future may have a depressive effect on our stock price.
All of the outstanding shares of common stock are held by our present officers, directors, and affiliate stockholders as “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for six months may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a company’s outstanding common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale. There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate after the owner has held the restricted securities for a period of two years. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in any market that may develop.
Our stockholders may suffer future dilution due to issuances of shares for various considerations in the future.
There may be substantial dilution to Three Forks stockholders as a result of future decisions of the Board to issue shares without shareholder approval for cash, services, or acquisitions.
Any sales of our common stock, if in significant amounts, are likely to depress the market price of our securities.
Assuming all of the shares of common stock under this Registration Statement are sold and all of the shares of common stock held by the selling security holders registered hereby are sold, we would have 3,637,028 shares that are freely tradable. Even officers and directors are registering a portion of their shares for sale under this prospectus.
Unrestricted sales of 3,637,028 shares of stock by our selling stockholders could have a huge negative impact on our share price, and the market for our shares.
Any new potential investors will suffer a disproportionate risk and there will be immediate dilution of existing investor’s investments.
Our present shareholders have acquired their securities at a cost significantly less than that which the investors purchasing pursuant to shares will pay for their stock holdings or at which future purchasers in the market may pay. Therefore, any new potential investors will bear most of the risk of loss.
We have determined an arbitrary offering price of our shares.
The price of our shares has been determined arbitrarily by us with no established criteria of value. There is no direct relationship between these prices and our assets, book value, lack of earnings, shareholder’s equity, or any other recognized standard of value of our business. The offering price shouldnot be considered an indication of the actual value of the shares or securities.
ITEM 4. USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares being registered on behalf of our selling shareholders.
We may raise additional funds through a private placement of shares of our common stock. At this time there is no committed source for such funds and we cannot give any assurances of being able to raise such funds. We can assure that we will require additional funds to carry out our business plan. The availability and terms of any future financing will depend on market and other conditions.
Our lack of funds could and would severely limit our operations, and might render us unable to carry out our business plan.
The monies we have raised thus far from selling stock to our current Shareholders is anticipated to be sufficient to pay all expenses of this registration statement, which is estimated to be $25,000.
ITEM 5. DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
We have no established market for our common stock.
Our selling shareholders plan to sell shares at $1.50 per share, until such time as a market develops for any of the securities and thereafter at such prices as the market may dictate from time to time. There is no market price for the stock and our pricing is arbitrary with no relation to market value, liquidation value, earnings or dividends.
Title | Per Security |
Common Stock | $1.50 |
We have arbitrarily determined our offering price for shares to be sold pursuant to this offering at $1.50. The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value voting common stock. There were a total of 11,681,447 shares of common stock issued during the period of March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2013. During the period of January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013, there were a total of 1,620,000 shares issued. During that same period a total of 737,844 shares were cancelled.
During the period of March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2013, the Company sold 5,469,361 shares of common stock as part of different private placements ranging from $0.01 per share to $3.00 per share.
During the period of March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2013, the Company issued 6,250,000 shares of its common stock to officers and directors and third parties in exchange for services at prices ranging from $0.001 per share to $0.088 per share. Mr. Nichols and Mr. Walford, officers, directors and founders of the Company were issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock each at a price of $0.001 per share.
The additional major factors that were included in determining the initial sales price to our founders and private investors were the lack of liquidity since there was no present market for our stock and the high level of risk considering our lack of operating history.
The share price bears no relationship to any criteria of goodwill value, asset value, market price or any other measure of value and were arbitrarily determined in the judgment of our Board of Directors.
ITEM 6. DILUTION
The following table sets forth with respect to existing shareholders, the number of our shares of common stock purchased the percentage ownership of such shares, the total consideration paid, the percentage of total consideration paid and the average price per share. All percentages are computed based upon cumulative shares and consideration assuming sale of all shares in the line item as compared to maximum in each previous line.
| Shares Purchased | Total Consideration | Average |
| Number | Percent (1) | Amount | Percent (2) | Price/Share |
| | | | | |
Existing Shareholders (3) | 11,506,677 | 100% | 4,909,493 | 100% | $0.42 |
| | | | | |
| (1) | Percentage relates to total percentage of shares sold up to such increment in the offering. |
| (2) | Percentage relates to total percentage of capital raised post offering. |
| (3) | Relates to the total numbers of shares issued and outstanding, including shares being registered. |
“Net tangible book value” is the amount that results from subtracting the total liabilities and intangible assets from the total assets of an entity. Dilution occurs because we determined the offering price based on factors other than those used in computing book value of our stock. Dilution exists because the book value of shares held by existing stockholders is lower than the offering price offered to new investors.
As at March 31, 2014, the net tangible book value of our stock was $0.27 per share.
ITEM 7. SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The selling shareholders, including our officers and directors, obtained their shares of our stock in the following transactions:
Number of Shares | Consideration | Price Per Share |
2,627,515 | Cash | $0.01 |
225 | Cash | $0.50 |
1,505,051 | Cash | $1.00 |
100,001 | Cash | $1.50 |
25,000 | Cash | $2.00 |
187,630 | Cash | $2.25 |
911,055 | Cash | $3.00 |
6,250,000 | Services | $0.01 to $0.088 |
700,000 | Purchase of Property | $2.00 |
Other than the stock transactions discussed above, we have not entered into any transaction nor are there any proposed transactions in which any founder, director, executive officer, significant shareholder of our company or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest.
No person who may, in the future, be considered a promoter of this offering, will receive or expect to receive assets, services or other considerations from us except those persons who are our salaried employees or directors. No assets will be, nor expected to be, acquired from any promoter on behalf of us. We have not entered into any agreements that require disclosure to the shareholders.
All of the securities listed below are being registered in this Registration Statement, which include all of the securities outstanding as of date hereof.

ITEM 8. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Upon effectiveness of this registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, our existing selling shareholders may sell their securities at market prices or at any price in privately negotiated transactions.
Our selling shareholders may be deemed underwriters in this offering.
The selling shareholders are not paying any of the offering expenses and we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling shareholders.
ITEM 9. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The securities being registered and/or offered by this Prospectus are common shares.
Common Stock
We are presently authorized to issue one-hundred million (100,000,000) shares of our $0.001 par value common shares. A total of 11,506,677 common shares are deemed issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2014.
Common Shares
All shares are equal to each other with respect to voting, liquidation, and dividend rights. Special shareholders’ meetings may be called by the officers or director, or upon the request of holders of at least one-tenth (1/10th) of the outstanding shares. Holders of shares are entitled to one vote at any shareholders’ meeting for each share they own as of the record date fixed by the board of directors. There is no quorum requirement for shareholders’ meetings. Therefore, a vote of the majority of the shares represented at a meeting will govern even if this is substantially less than a majority of the shares outstanding. Holders of shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefore, and upon liquidation are entitled to participate pro rata in a distribution of assets available for such a distribution to shareholders. There are no conversion, pre-emptive or other subscription rights or privileges with respect to any shares. Reference is made to our Articles of Incorporation and our By-Laws as well as to the applicable statutes of the State of Colorado for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of shares. It should be noted that the board of directors without notice to the shareholders may amend the By-Laws. Our shares do not have cumulative voting
rights, which means that the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares voting for election of directors may elect all the directors if they choose to do so. In such event, the holders of the remaining shares aggregating less than fifty percent (50%) of the shares voting for election of directors may not be able to elect any director.
Preferred shares
We are presently authorized to issue twenty-five million (25,000,000) preferred shares our $10 par value preferred shares. No shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2014.
On June 12, 2013 the Board authorized the Class A Preferred Convertible Stock (the “Class A Preferred Stock”) of which 500,000 shares of preferred stock have been authorized for the class and the shares have a deemed purchase price at $4.50 per share. The Class A Preferred Stock are to have voting rights equivalent to their conversion rate, one (1) share of Class A Preferred Stock equals one (1) share of common stock. At this time, no shares of the Class A Preferred Stock have been issued.
Warrants
Effective May 30, 2013 and as part of a consulting agreement, the Company issued a warrant to a consultant in exchange for cash in the amount of $27.50. The warrant entitles the consultant to purchase over a five year period at a price of $3.00 per share up to 275,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrant has a cashless exercise option.
On March 31, 2014, holders of the secured convertible promissory notes purchased 1,390,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of their promissory notes issued to them by the Company in the amount of $1,390,000. A warrant entitles the holder for a term of two years to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at the rate of $1.00 per share. Therefore, as of March 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,390,000 warrants to holders of the promissory notes in cancellation of $1,390,000 in debt.
Secured Convertible Promissory Notes
In September 2013, we commenced a private offering of $2,000,000 Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in order to complete the purchase of the remaining 37.5% WI in the Five JABS property discussed above. These notes are due in September 2014 and are convertible into shares of our common stock in whole or in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per share 6 months after issuance of the secured convertible promissory note. The conversion of the convertible promissory notes into shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to the holdings of our existing shareholders. The Secured Convertible Promissory Notes are secured by the Company’s 75% of the right, title and working interest in 1,955 gross leasehold acres including 13 producing wells, 9 service wells and 14 additional wellbores located in the States of Texas and Louisiana, the Five JABS properties. The offering was not fully subscribed and a total of $1,535,000 was raised. Tincup Oil and Gas, LLC of which Mr. Ranew, a former director of the Company, is a member, holds a Secured Convertible Promissory Note for $250,000. At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $1,475,000 in outstanding secured convertible promissory notes.
On March 31, 2014, holders of the above promissory notes purchased 1,390,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of their promissory notes issued to them by the Company in the amount of $1,390,000. A warrant entitles the holder for a term of two years to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at the rate of $1.00 per share. Therefore, as of March 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,390,000 warrants to holders of the promissory notes in cancellation of $1,390,000 in debt.
Separately and apart, two members of management agreed to make up the difference of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note Offering and the purchase price of Five JABS in a separate transaction with separate terms with the Company. Mr. Charles Pollard, a director and former officer, and Mr. Lester Ranew, a former director of the Company, in exchange for secured convertible promissory notes provided the Company with a total of $600,000 cash ($300,000 each). At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $600,000 to Mr. Pollard and Mr. Ranew.
Mr. Pollard’s and Mr. Ranew’s notes have a due date of January 2, 2014 and allow for the conversion of the notes into common stock upon issuance. Their notes provide that in addition to having a due date of January 2, 2014, that at the due date they will each receive a $7,500 payment of fees and interest. If the notes are not paid at January 2, 2014, the Company is required to take immediate steps to liquidate the secured property and the due date will be
extended to April 2, 2014. At January 2, 2014, the Company failed to make payment on the notes. At that time Mr. Pollard and Ranew each entered into an Extension and Waiver with the Company. The Extension and Waiver provides that the payment date shall be extended to April 2, 2014 and both holders have waived the provision that steps be taken to liquidate the secured property at this time. On April 7, 2014, Mr. Pollard extended the payment date on his note to May 2, 2014. On March 31, 2014, Mr. Ranew purchased 300,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of his promissory note issued to him by the Company in the amount of $300,000. In May 2014, Mr. Pollard's note was paid in full.

RECENT CONVERTIBLE DEBT OFFERING
In September 2013, we commenced a private offering of $2,000,000 Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in order to complete the purchase of the remaining 37.5% WI in the Five JABS property discussed above. These notes are due in September 2014 and are convertible into shares of our common stock in whole or in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per share 6 months after issuance of the secured convertible promissory note. The conversion of the convertible promissory notes into shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to the holdings of our existing shareholders. The Secured Convertible Promissory Notes are secured by the Company’s 75% of the right, title and working interest in 1,955 gross leasehold acres including 13 producing wells, 9 service wells and 14
additional wellbores located in the States of Texas and Louisiana, the Five JABS properties. The offering was not fully subscribed and a total of $1,535,000 was raised. Tincup Oil and Gas, LLC of which Mr. Ranew, a former director of the Company, is a member, holds a Secured Convertible Promissory Note for $250,000. At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $1,475,000 in outstanding secured convertible promissory notes.
On March 31, 2014, holders of the above promissory notes purchased 1,390,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of their promissory notes issued to them by the Company in the amount of $1,390,000. A warrant entitles the holder for a term of two years to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at the rate of $1.00 per share. Therefore, as of March 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,390,000 warrants to holders of the promissory notes in cancellation of $1,390,000 in debt.
Separately and apart, two members of management agreed to make up the difference of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note Offering and the purchase price of Five JABS in a separate transaction with separate terms with the Company. Mr. Charles Pollard, a director and former officer, and Mr. Lester Ranew, a former director of the Company, in exchange for secured convertible promissory notes provided the Company with a total of $600,000 cash ($300,000 each). At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $600,000 to Mr. Pollard and Mr. Ranew.
Mr. Pollard’s and Mr. Ranew’s notes have a due date of January 2, 2014 and allow for the conversion of the notes into common stock upon issuance. Their notes provide that in addition to having a due date of January 2, 2014, that at the due date they will each receive a $7,500 payment of fees and interest. If the notes are not paid at January 2, 2014, the Company is required to take immediate steps to liquidate the secured property and the due date will be extended to April 2, 2014. At January 2, 2014, the Company failed to make payment on the notes. At that time Mr. Pollard and Ranew each entered into an Extension and Waiver with the Company. The Extension and Waiver provides that the payment date shall be extended to April 2, 2014 and both holders have waived the provision that steps be taken to liquidate the secured property at this time. On April 7, 2014, Mr. Pollard extended the payment date on his note to May 2, 2014. On March 31, 2014, Mr. Ranew purchased 300,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of his promissory note issued to him by the Company in the amount of $300,000. In May 2014, Mr. Pollard's note was paid in full.
RECENT OIL AND GAS ACQUISITIONS
Archer County, Texas
On December 31, 2012, we entered into a Farmout Agreement with Holms Energy Development Corporation (“HEDC”) to explore for oil, gas and methane production in Archer County, Texas (“the Farmout”). In order to maintain the Farmout we have to commence or cause to be commenced the drilling of at least 3 wells for oil and/or gas prior to March 31, 2013 and pay for the costs associated with our ownership of 100% of the working interest.
As such on December 31, 2012, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Three Forks No. 1 whereby in consideration of Three Forks No. 1 undertaking and agreeing to pay its pro rata share of the costs associated with the drilling and completion of wells in Archer County, Texas, we initially assigned an 87% WI in the properties to Three Forks No. 1. Subsequently in 2013, we similarly assigned a 1%% WI in the Farmout to Three Forks No. 1 to each of Messrs. Young and Nichols, an officer and directors of the Company and retained a 11% WI in the Farmout, with an additional back in after payout of 25%. At the time of this filing and as part of this Farmout, 5 wells have been drilled on the property.
Blue Quail - Central Oklahoma
On April 8, 2013, we entered into a Participation Agreement with Blue Quail, Ltd. (“the Participation Agreement”). In exchange for an interest in certain wells including an 80% Net Revenue Interest (“NRI”) and a 25% WI in the Joe Gregory #1 Well, and as of December 31 2013 we have paid a total of $328,663. The Joe Gregory #1 Well has been being drilled in Pottowatomie County, Oklahoma in the Bois D’Arc formation. The well has now been completed and is currently being put into production at the time of this filing.
Five JAB – Louisiana and Texas
On February 27, 2013, we entered into a Purchase and Participation Agreement with Five JAB, Inc. (“the Purchase and Participation Agreement”). As part of the Purchase and Participation Agreement, we are to acquire a 75% of the right, title and working interest in 1,955.41 gross leasehold acres including 13 producing wells, 9 service wells and 14 additional wellbores in exchange for cash of $3.8 million. The Purchase and Participation Agreement also provides for our involvement in a development program that includes the drilling and completion of workovers and well optimizations of certain of the existing wells.
Therefore on June 30, 2013, we acquired a 37.5% WI in those oil and gas properties located in Louisiana and Texas totaling approximately 1,955.41 gross acres in exchange for $1,900,000 in cash as part of the Purchase and Participation Agreement. Further, this acquisition was subject to a reversionary event whereby we must acquire on September 1, 2013 the remaining 37.5% of the working interest in the properties for $1,900,000 in cash or we must return to the Seller the 37.5% working interest acquired on June 30, 2013. On August 28, 2013, the Company and Five JAB, Inc. agreed to extend the September 1, 2013 deadline to October 1, 2013, without prejudice and penalty. On October 1, 2013, the Company acquired the remaining 37.5% of working interest in the Five Jab, Inc. properties for $1,942,143 in cash plus assumed liabilities in the amount of $281,962.
Our acquisition of the 75% of working interest in the oil and gas properties has been accounted for as an acquisition for accounting purposes.
AREAS OF INTEREST AND PROPERTY
Archer County, Texas
We have a 11% WI in a completed well that is currently producing from the Ellenburger formation at approximately 4,900 feet. In late 2012, we entered into a Farmout Agreement with the lease owner to develop the balance of the 320 acres of property. We transferred the Farmout to Three Forks No. 1 to develop the 320 acres. We retained a 11% WI in these wells with a provision for a back-in of an additional 25%, after payout to the equity holders of Three Forks No.1. After payout, we will then own a 35% WI in the wells.
In late March 2013, 3-D seismic was shot across the property which revealed that three Ellenburger highs exist on the acreage. The Ellenburger formation is the deepest prospective formation in this multi-pay area. Shallower formations can be draped over these deeper highs. In addition to the Ellenburger Formation, the Caddo, Odom, Conglomerate, Gardner, KMA, Gunsight, 600’ Sand and the 400’ Sand are all productive or prospective on this lease. Due to active water drive reservoirs in most of these formations, limited stimulation work will occur for these wells.
Three Forks No. 1, has paid $1.9 million in capital for drilling and completion costs and about $200,000, for 3D seismic and facilities.
(REMAINDER OF PAGE LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY)

During the year ending on December 31, 2013, the Company successfully drilled five wells, shown on the map as solid black dots with well number labels:
| • | G. A. Jennings ‘AA’ #101 – Drilled and completed in the Odom formation. Well IP’d for 46 BOPD and 139 BWPD. |
| • | G. A. Jennings ‘AA” #102 – Drilled and completed well in the Ellenburger, Conglomerate and Bend formations. Well IP’d for 30 BOPD and 90 BWPD. |
| • | G. A. Jennings ‘BB’ #103 – Drilled and completed in the Caddo/Bend formations. Well IP’d for 27 BOPD and 153 BWPD. |
| • | G. A. Jennings ‘BB’ #104 – Drilled, completed and fraced in the KMA formation. Well IP’d for 9 BOPD and 17 BWPD. Well continues to cleanup following stimulation treatment. |
| • | G. A. Jennings #105 – Drilled and completed in the Bend formation. Following an acid treatment well IP’d for 40 BOPD and 100 BWPD. |
The following wells are in the planning stages (shown on the map as open stars):
| • | G. A. Jennings #107 – Planned to spud this month. |
| • | G. A. Jennings ‘BB’ #108 – Drilling permit approved. |
| • | G. A. Jennings #106, #109 and #110 – Drilling permits filed with TRRC. |
Capital expenditures (“Capex”) on this project is $3.0 million. As of December 31, 2013, a total of $1.9 million has been invested for drilling and well completion work, $50,000 for seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation, and $250,000 for equipment including approximately $220,000 in total costs incurred by the Company.
Blue Quail, Central Oklahoma
We entered into a Participation Agreement with Blue Quail Ltd. of Chandler, Oklahoma to participate with a 25% WI in up to six wells in a multiple pay area (“Pink Prospect”) within the Morvin oil field in Pottawatomie County where the predominate production has been from the Bois d’Arc member of the Hunton Lime. Additional pay intervals in the area include the Red Forks Sand, Misener Sand, Viola Lime, Simpson Dolomite, and the 1st and 2nd Wilcox Sands. Two Pink Prospect wells have been drilled to date with at least one more well planned. In addition to the Pink Prospect area, another area, “Sportsman’s Lake” was added to the Participation Agreement under the same terms. Sportsman’s Lake is located in Seminole County, Oklahoma. One well was drilled in Sportsman’s Lake by the end of the year.

In the Pink Prospect area, drilling operations began in April 2013 with the geologist, driller and operator (Blue Quail Ltd) each taking a 25% WI. Two wells have been drilled (see solid black dots on the map) with results as follows:
| • | Blue Quail Jim #1-33 is currently completed in Bois D’Arc formation at 5-35 BOPD. Production variations have been primarily due to mechanical issues with the artificial lift equipment. |
| • | The Blue Quail Joe Gregory #1 was drilled and is currently completed in the Bois D’Arc. Updip to the Jim #1-33, in early production, the well is making mostly water with an oil cut. |

In the Sportsman’s Lake area, drilling operations began in October of 2013 with the geologist, driller and operator (Blue Quail Ltd) each taking a 25% WI. One well was drilled in 2013 (see solid black dot on the map), with results as follows:
| • | Blue Quail Sportsman’s Lake #1 is currently completed in Misener/Hunton formation at 300 MCFGD with a trace of condensate. |
Five JAB – Evangeline/St. Mary’s Parishes, Louisiana and Montgomery/Tyler County, Texas
In June 2013, we acquired 37.5% WI and the remaining 37.5% WI effective September 1, 2013for a total of 75% WI in 27 producing/9 service wells in Texas and Louisiana currently operated by Five JAB, Inc. out of Tomball, Texas, in exchange for $3,869,497 in cash plus the assumption of liabilities in the amount of $281,962. The remaining 25% WI is owned by Five, JAB, Inc. and other non-affiliated owners. The properties currently produce 100 BOPD and 50 MCFPD.
The purchase included working interests in 13 producing wells, 9 service wells and 14 additional wellbores, which are spread across Montgomery, Jasper and Tyler Counties in Texas and the Evangeline and St. Mary Parishes in Louisiana. Geologically, these wells are located in the Gulf Coast Upper Jurassic-Cretaceous-Tertiary province. This province extends on shore and off shore in the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida. The multiple conventional pays make up the geological success of the area. The Five Jab properties are all located onshore.
Workovers were initiated in September of 2013. Three of 11 workovers were completed in 2013. The cost for all the workovers is estimated to total $1.25 million (net) and is forecast to double production.

COMPETITION, MARKETS, REGULATION AND TAXATION
Competition.
There are a large number of companies and individuals engaged in the exploration for minerals and oil and gas; accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable properties. Almost all of the companies and individuals so engaged have substantially greater technical and financial resources than we do.
Markets.
The availability of a ready market for oil and gas discovered, if any, will depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including the proximity and capacity of refineries, pipelines, and the effect of state regulation of production and of federal regulations of products sold in interstate commerce, and recent intrastate sales. The market price of oil and gas are volatile and beyond our control. The market for natural gas is also unsettled, and gas prices have increased dramatically in the past four years with substantial fluctuation, seasonally and annually.
There generally are only a limited number of gas transmission companies with existing pipelines in the vicinity of a gas well or wells. In the event that producing gas properties are not subject to purchase contracts or that any such contracts terminate and other parties do not purchase our gas production, there is no assurance that we will be able to enter into purchase contracts with any transmission companies or other purchasers of natural gas and there can be no assurance regarding the price which such purchasers would be willing to pay for such gas. There presently exists an oversupply of gas in the certain areas of the marketplace due to pipeline capacity, the extent and duration of which is not known. Such oversupply may result in restrictions of purchases by principal gas pipeline purchasers.
Effect of Changing Industry Conditions on Drilling Activity.
Lower oil and gas prices have caused a decline in drilling activity in the U.S. from time to time. However, such reduced activity has also resulted in a decline in drilling costs, lease acquisition costs and equipment costs, and an improvement in the terms under which drilling prospects are generally available. We cannot predict what oil and gas prices will be in the future and what effect those prices may have on drilling activity in general, or on our ability to generate economic drilling prospects and to raise the necessary funds with which to drill them.
Federal Regulations.
Governmental Regulation and Environmental Consideration.
Oil and Gas: The oil and gas business in the United States is subject to regulation by both federal and state authorities, particularly with respect to pricing, allowable rates of production, marketing and environmental matters.
The production of crude oil and gas has, in recent years, been the subject of increasing state and federal controls. No assurance can be given that newly imposed or changed federal laws will not adversely affect the economic viability of any oil and gas properties we may acquire in the future. Federal income and “windfall profit” taxes have in the past affected the economic viability of such properties.
The above paragraphs only give a brief overview of potential state and federal regulations. Because we have only acquired specific properties, and because of the wide range of activities in which we may participate, it is impossible to set forth in detail the potential impact federal and state regulations may have on us.
Compliance with Environmental Laws and Regulations.
Our operations are subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control. To date our compliance with these regulations has had no material effect on our operations, capital, earnings, or competitive position, and the cost of such compliance has not been material. We are unable to assess or predict at this time what effect additional regulations or legislation could have on our activities.
The Department of Energy.
The Department of Energy Organization Act (Pub. L. No. 95-91) became effective October 1, 1977. Under this Act various agencies, including the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) and the Federal Power Commission (FPC), have been consolidated to constitute the cabinet-level Department of Energy (DOE). The Economic Regulatory Administration (ERA), a semi-independent administration within the DOE, now administers most of the regulatory programs formerly managed by the FEA, including oil pricing and allocation. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), an independent agency within the DOE, has assumed the FPC’s responsibility for natural gas regulation.
Regulation and Pricing of Natural Gas.
Our operations may be subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) with respect to the sale of natural gas for resale in interstate and intrastate commerce. State regulatory agencies may exercise or attempt to exercise similar powers with respect to intrastate sales of gas. Because of its complexity and broad scope, the price impact of future legislation on the operation of us cannot be determined at this time.
Crude Oil and Natural Gas Liquids Price and Allocation Regulation.
Pursuant to Executive Order Number 12287, issued January 28, 1981, President Reagan lifted all existing federal price and allocation controls over the sale and distribution of crude oil and natural gas liquids. Executive Order Number 12287 was made effective as of January 28, 1981, and consequently, sales of crude oil and natural gas liquids after January 27, 1981 are free from federal regulation. The price for such sales and the supplier-purchaser relationship will be determined by private contract and prevailing market conditions. As a result of this action, oil which may be sold by us will be sold at deregulated or free market prices. At various times, certain groups have advocated the reestablishment of regulations and control on the sale of domestic oil and gas.
State Regulations.
Our production of oil and gas, if any, will be subject to regulation by state regulatory authorities in the states in which we may produce oil and gas. In general, these regulatory authorities are empowered to make and enforce regulations to prevent waste of oil and gas and to protect correlative rights and opportunities to produce oil and gas as between owners of a common reservoir. Some regulatory authorities may also regulate the amount of oil and gas produced by assigning allowable rates of production.
Proposed Legislation.
A number of legislative proposals have been and probably will continue to be introduced in Congress and in the legislatures of various states, which, if enacted, would significantly affect the petroleum industries. Such proposals and executive actions involve, among other things, the imposition of land use controls such as prohibiting drilling activities on certain federal and state lands in roadless wilderness areas. At present, it is impossible to predict what proposals, if any, will actually be enacted by Congress or the various state legislatures and what effect, if any, such proposals will have. However, President Clinton’s establishment of numerous National Monuments by executive order has had the effect of precluding drilling across vast areas of the Rocky Mountain West.
Environmental Laws.
Oil and gas exploration and development are specifically subject to existing federal and state laws and regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations may substantially increase the costs of exploring for, developing, or producing oil and gas and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of a given operation.
All of our operations involving the exploration for or the production of any minerals are subject to existing laws and regulations relating to exploration procedures, safety precautions, employee health and safety, air quality standards, pollution of stream and fresh water sources, odor, noise, dust, and other environmental protection controls adopted by federal, state and local governmental authorities as well as the right of adjoining property owners. We may be required to prepare and present to federal, state or local authorities data pertaining to the effect or impact that any proposed exploration for or production of minerals may have upon the environment. All requirements imposed by any such authorities may be costly, time consuming, and may delay commencement or continuation of exploration or production operations.
It may be anticipated that future legislation will significantly emphasize the protection of the environment, and that, as a consequence, our activities may be more closely regulated to further the cause of environmental protection. Such legislation, as well as future interpretation of existing laws, may require substantial increases in equipment and operating costs to us and delays, interruptions, or a termination of operations, the extent to which cannot now be predicted.
Title to Properties.
We are not the record owner of our interest in our properties and rely instead on contracts with the owner or operator of the property, pursuant to which, among other things, we have the right to have our interest placed of record. As is customary in the oil and gas industry, a preliminary title examination will be conducted at the time unproved properties or interests are acquired by us. Prior to commencement of drilling operations on such acreage and prior to the acquisition of proved properties, we will conduct a title examination and attempt to remedy extremely significant defects before proceeding with operations or the acquisition of proved properties, as we may deem appropriate.
Our properties are subject to royalty, overriding royalty and other interests customary in the industry, liens incident to agreements, current taxes and other burdens, minor encumbrances, easements and restrictions. Although we are not aware of any material title defects or disputes with respect to its undeveloped acreage, to the extent such defects or disputes exist, we would suffer title failures.
Backlog of Orders.
We currently have no orders for sales at this time.
Government Contracts.
We have no government contracts.
Company Sponsored Research and Development.
We are not conducting any research.
Number of Persons Employed.
As of March 31, 2014, we have 6 full-time employees and 4 independent consultants.

| | $ | 15,000,000 | |
The Company may change any or all of the budget categories in the execution of its business model. None of the line items are to be considered fixed or unchangeable. The Company may need substantial additional capital to support its budget. We have recognized minimal revenues from our operational activities prior to June 30, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized $734,128 in revenue from oil and gas sales.
We have conducted a Private Offering of shares of our restricted common stock for capital. We intend to raise up to $15 million in the next twelve months with a structure not yet determined in debt or equity. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had sold approximately 5,500,000 shares, raising a total of approximately $4,900,000. We cannot give any assurances that we will be able to raise the full $15,000,000 to fund the budget. Further, we will need to raise additional funds to support not only our expected budget, but our continued operations. We cannot make any assurances that we will be able to raise such funds or whether we would be able to raise such funds with terms that are favorable to us.
In September 2013, we commenced a private offering of $2,000,000 Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in order to complete the purchase of the remaining 37.5% WI in the Five JABS property discussed above. These notes are due in September 2014 and are convertible into shares of our common stock in whole or in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per share 6 months after issuance of the secured convertible promissory note. The conversion of the convertible promissory notes into shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to the holdings of our existing shareholders. The Secured Convertible Promissory Notes are secured by the Company���s 75% of the right, title and working interest in 1,955 gross leasehold acres including 13 producing wells, 9 service wells and 14 additional wellbores located in the States of Texas and Louisiana, the Five JABS properties. The offering was not fully subscribed and a total of $1,535,000 was raised. Tincup Oil and Gas, LLC of which Mr. Ranew, a former director of the Company, is a member, holds a Secured Convertible Promissory Note for $250,000. At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $1,475,000 in outstanding secured convertible promissory notes.
On March 31, 2014, holders of the above promissory notes purchased 1,390,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of their promissory notes issued to them by the Company in the amount of $1,390,000. A warrant entitles the holder for a term of two years to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at the rate of $1.00 per share. Therefore, as of March 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,390,000 warrants to holders of the promissory notes in exchange for the cancelation of $1,390,000 in debt.
Separately and apart, two members of management agreed to make up the difference of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note Offering and the purchase price of Five JABS in a separate transaction with separate terms with the Company. Mr. Charles Pollard, a director and former officer, and Mr. Lester Ranew, a former director of the Company, in exchange for secured convertible promissory notes provided the Company with a total of $600,000 cash ($300,000 each). At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $600,000 to Mr. Pollard and Mr. Ranew.
Mr. Pollard’s and Mr. Ranew’s notes have a due date of January 2, 2014 and allow for the conversion of the notes into common stock upon issuance. Their notes provide that in addition to having a due date of January 2, 2014, that at the due date they will each receive a $7,500 payment of fees and interest. If the notes are not paid at January 2, 2014, the Company is required to take immediate steps to liquidate the secured property and the due date will be extended to April 2, 2014. At January 2, 2014, the Company failed to make payment on the notes. At that time Mr. Pollard and Ranew each entered into an Extension and Waiver with the Company. The Extension and Waiver provides that the payment date shall be extended to April 2, 2014 and both holders have waived the provision that steps be taken to liquidate the secured property at this time. On April 7, 2014, Mr. Pollard extended the payment date on his note to May 2, 2014 and if the payment is not made or the property has not been liquidated then he will be assigned a 5.625% interest in the Five JABS properties. On March 31, 2014, Mr. Ranew purchased 300,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of his promissory note issued to him by the Company in the amount of $300,000. In May 2014, Mr. Pollard's note was paid in full.
Based on our current cash reserves of $121,174 as of December 31, 2013, we have the cash for an operational budget of six months. We have generated minimal and sporadic revenues to date and prior to June 30, 2013 such revenues were generated by properties we sold on January 1, 2013. If we are unable to generate enough revenue, through our other subsidiaries, to cover our operational costs, we will need to seek additional sources of funds. Currently, we haveno committed source for any funds as of date hereof. No representation is made that any funds will be available when needed. In the event funds cannot be raised if and when needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan and could fail in business as a result of these uncertainties.
The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our financial statements as of December 31, 2013, includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
b. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES/ASSETS/OIL AND GAS PROSPECTS
(a) | Real Estate. | None. |
(b) | Title to properties. | None. |
(c) | Oil and Gas Properties. | See below. |
As is customary in the oil and natural gas industry, we generally conduct a preliminary title examination prior to the acquisition of properties or leasehold interests. Prior to commencement of operations on such acreage, a thorough title examination will usually be conducted and any significant defects will be remedied before proceeding with operations. We believe the title to our leasehold properties is good, defensible and customary with practices in the oil and natural gas industry, subject to such exceptions that we believe do not materially detract from the use of such properties. With respect to our properties of which we are not the record owner, we rely instead on contracts with the owner or operator of the property or assignment of leases, pursuant to which, among other things, we generally have the right to have our interest placed on record.
Our properties are generally subject to royalty, overriding royalty and other interests customary in the industry, liens incident to agreements, current taxes and other burdens, minor encumbrances, easements and restrictions. We do not believe any of these burdens will materially interfere with our use of these properties.

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.”
Qualifications of Technical Persons and Internal Controls Over Reserves Estimation Process
The reserve report for Three Forks, Inc. was prepared for us on March 16, 2014, by Ralph E. Davis Associates, Inc, (“RED”) as part of our year ended audit and preparation of our annual report. RED 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 onshore properties as of December 31, 2013.
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.
The principal person at RED who prepared the reserve report is Mr. David G. Cole. Mr. Cole has been a practicing petroleum engineer at RED since December 2011. Mr. Cole has over 25 years of practical experience in petroleum engineering, with over 25 years of experience in the estimation and evaluation of reserves. He graduated from Texas A&M University in 1987 with a Bachelors of Science in Petroleum Engineering.
Mr. Charles Pollard, the Company’s former President and Chief Operating Officer, is primarily responsible for the determination of and the presentation of the reserves presented by the Company at December 31, 2013.
We have an internal staff of geoscience professionals who worked closely with our independent petroleum engineering firms to ensure the integrity, accuracy and timeliness of data furnished to them in their reserves
estimation process. The technical team consulted regularly with RED. We review with them our properties and to discuss methods and assumptions used in their preparation of the fiscal year-end reserves estimates. While we have no formal committee specifically designated to review reserves reporting and the reserves estimation process, a copy RED’s reserve reports are reviewed with representatives of RED and our internal technical staff before we disseminate any of the information is disseminated. Additionally, our senior management reviews and approved the RED reserve report and any internally estimated significant changes to the 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 17 — Supplemental Information Relating to Oil and Natural Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited)” to our 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, RED 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.

During 2013, we entered into a Participation Agreement with Blue Quail Ltd. to participate in the drilling of acreage located in Oklahoma that includes proved undeveloped reserves of 33 mbbls of oil and 167 mmcf of natural gas. In addition, during 2013, we entered into a Farmout Agreement to drill acreage located in Archer County, Texas that includes proved undeveloped reserves of 11 mmbls of oil.
We plan to develop within the next five years our proved undeveloped reserves at December 31, 2013.
Developed and Undeveloped Acreage
The following table presents our total gross and net developed and undeveloped acreage by region as of December 31, 2013:
| | Developed Acres | | | Undeveloped Acres | |

Archer County
During the year ending on December 31, 2013, the Company successfully drilled five wells:
| • | G. A. Jennings ‘AA’ #101 – Drilled and completed in the Odom formation. Well IP’d for 46 BOPD and 139 BWPD. |
| • | G. A. Jennings ‘AA” #102 – Drilled and completed well in the Ellenburger, Conglomerate and Bend formations. Well IP’d for 30 BOPD and 90 BWPD. |
| • | G. A. Jennings ‘BB’ #103 – Drilled and completed in the Caddo/Bend formations. Well IP’d for 27 BOPD and 153 BWPD. |
| • | G. A. Jennings ‘BB’ #104 – Drilled, completed and fraced in the KMA formation. Well IP’d for 9 BOPD and 17 BWPD. Well continues to cleanup following stimulation treatment. |
| • | G. A. Jennings #105 – Drilled and completed in the Bend formation. Following an acid treatment well IP’d for 40 BOPD and 100 BWPD. |
The following wells are in the planning stages:
| • | G. A. Jennings #107 – Planned to spud this month. |
| • | G. A. Jennings ‘BB’ #108 – Drilling permit approved. |
| • | G. A. Jennings #106, #109 and #110 – Drilling permits filed with TRRC. |
Capital expenditures (“Capex”) on this project are $3.0 million. As of December 31, 2013, a total of $1.9 million has been invested for drilling and well completion work, $50,000 for seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation, and $250,000 for equipment including approximately $220,000 in total costs incurred by the Company.
Blue Quail, Central Oklahoma
We entered into a Participation Agreement with Blue Quail Ltd. of Chandler, Oklahoma to participate with a 25% WI in up to six wells in a multiple pay area (“Pink Prospect”) within the Morvin oil field in Pottawatomie County where the predominate production has been from the Bois d’Arc member of the Hunton Lime. Additional pay intervals in the area include the Red Forks Sand, Misener Sand, Viola Lime, Simpson Dolomite, and the 1st and 2nd Wilcox Sands. Two Pink Prospect wells have been drilled to date with at least one more well planned. In addition to the Pink Prospect area, another area, “Sportsman’s Lake” was added to the Participation Agreement under the same terms. Sportsman’s Lake is located in Seminole County, Oklahoma. One well was drilled in Sportsman’s Lake by the end of the year.
In the Pink Prospect area, drilling operations began in April 2013 with the geologist, driller and operator (Blue Quail Ltd) each taking a 25% WI. Two wells have been drilled with results as follows:
| • | Blue Quail Jim #1-33 is currently completed in Bois D’Arc formation at 5-35 BOPD. Production variations have been primarily due to mechanical issues with the artificial lift equipment. |
| • | The Blue Quail Joe Gregory #1 was drilled and is currently completed in the Bois D’Arc. Updip to the Jim #1-33, in early production, the well is making mostly water with an oil cut. |
In the Sportsman’s Lake area, drilling operations began in October of 2013 with the geologist, driller and operator (Blue Quail Ltd) each taking a 25% WI. One well was drilled in 2013 (see solid black dot on the map), with results as follows:
| • | Blue Quail Sportsman’s Lake #1 is currently completed in Misener/Hunton formation at 300 MCFGD with a trace of condensate. |
Five JAB – Evangeline/St. Mary’s Parishes, Louisiana and Montgomery/Tyler County, Texas
The properties currently produce 100 BOPD and 50 MCFPD.
The property includes working interests in 13 producing wells, 9 service wells and 14 additional wellbores, which are spread across Montgomery, Jasper and Tyler Counties in Texas and the Evangeline and St. Mary Parishes in Louisiana. Geologically, these wells are located in the Gulf Coast Upper Jurassic-Cretaceous-Tertiary province. This province extends on shore and off shore in the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida. The multiple conventional pays make up the geological success of the area. The Five Jab properties are all located onshore.
Workovers were initiated in September of 2013. Three of 11 workovers were completed in 2013. The cost for all the workovers is estimated to total $1.25 million (net) and is forecast to double production.
c. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We anticipate that we (including any future subsidiaries) will from time to time become subject to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. It is not feasible to predict the outcome of any such proceedings and we cannot assure that their ultimate disposition will not have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. As of this filing date, we are not a party to any pending legal proceedings, nor are we aware of any civil proceeding or government authority contemplating any legal proceeding.
d. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Market Information
Currently there is no public trading market for our stock, and we have not applied to have the common stock quoted for trading in any venue.
We intend to obtain a listing for our stock on an exchange in the future, but cannot make any assurances that we will be approved for such listing, as the exchanges have certain listing requirements that we would have to meet. Such listing requirements at a minimum include, but are not limited to:
| - | Stockholders’ equity of at least $4,000,000 and/or 2 years of operating history and/or pre-tax income of at least $750,000 in our last fiscal year or two of the last three fiscal years; |
| - | Be able to meet certain distribution requirements; and |
| - | Be able to meet certain market values of publicly held shares and aggregate market values of the shares. |
Rules Governing Low-price Stocks That May Affect Our Shareholders’ Ability to Resell Shares of Our Common Stock
We are a “penny stock” company, as our stock price is less than $5.00 per share. If we are able to obtain an exchange listing for our stock, we cannot make an assurance that we will be able to maintain a stock price greater than $5.00 per share and if the share price was to fall to such prices, that we wouldn’t be subject to the Penny Stocks rules.
The penny stock rules require broker-dealers, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to make a special suitability determination for the purchaser to receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, to deliver standardized risk disclosure documents prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.
Holders
As of March 31, 2014, we have approximately 395 stockholders of record of our common stock.
Dividends
As of the filing of this registration statement, we have not paid any dividends to stockholders. There are no restrictions which would limit our ability to pay dividends on common equity or that are likely to do so in the future. The Colorado Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend; we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or our total assets would be less than the sum of the total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND FOR THE PERIOD FROM MARCH 28, 2012
(INCEPTION) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2012
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Three Forks, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Three Forks, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the period March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with 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. An audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Three Forks, Inc., as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the period March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31 2012, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND
THE PERIOD OF MARCH 28, 2012 (inception) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2012
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Organization
Three Forks, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 28, 2012 in the State of Colorado. The Company’s business plan focuses on the development as an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of North American conventional oil and gas properties through the acquisition of leases and/or royalty interests and developing the properties for maximum cash flow.
On September 7, 2012, the Company acquired working interests between 10.12% and 10.50% in five (5) producing oil and gas wells along with mineral interests in proved undeveloped leaseholds totaling approximately 320 acres located in Weld county Colorado valued at $1,477,990 as well as a 76.25% working interest in undeveloped leaseholds totaling approximately 120 acres located in Morgan county Colorado valued at $14,000 in exchange for the issuance of 700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $1,400,000 or $2.00 per share and the assumption of certain debt in the amount of $91,990. In addition, the Company was required to fund an escrow account in the amount of $55,000 for legal services that may occur over a three year period from the date of the acquisition and this escrow account at December 31, 2013 and 2012 has a balance of $55,163 and $55,081 respectively. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company sold its entire interest in these oil and gas properties located in Weld county Colorado for $1,600,000 in cash. See Note 4 – Disposal Group Held for Sale.
On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Farmout Agreement (“Farmout”) where the Company had a 100% working interest in 320gross/290net acres of mineral interests located in Archer county Texas subject to the Farmout. In consideration of Three Forks No 1 LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“LLC”), undertaking and paying it’s pro rata portion of the costs associated with the drilling and completion of 9 wells in Archer county Texas on the Farmout property, the Company assigned 87% of the working interest in the Farmout to the LLC. Likewise, on January 1, 2013, the Company assigned 2% of the working interest in the Farmout to two members of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Three Forks LLC No 2 (“Three Forks No 2”) was organized in the State of Colorado on December 4, 2013. The Company is the manager of the Three Forks No. 2 and the Company does not hold an equity interest in Three Forks No 2. Three Forks No 2 has been organized to fund and develop the proposed drilling of additional wells in Archer County, Texas. At December 31 2013, Three Forks No 2 has yet to commence operations.
Effective June 30, 2013 and September 1, 2013, the Company acquired a 37.5% and 37.5% working interest, respectively or a total of 75% working interest in certain oil and gas properties located in Louisiana and Texas totaling approximately 1955 gross acres known as the Five Jab properties in exchange for $3,869,497 in cash plus the assumption of liabilities in the amount of $281,962 as part of a purchase sale and participation agreement dated February 27, 2013 as well as participate in a development program that includes the drilling and completion of additional wells
��
The Company’s acquisition of the 75% of working interest in the oil and gas properties was accounted for as an acquisition for accounting purposes.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method as prescribed by ASC authoritative guidance. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the basis difference reverses. The realizability of deferred tax assets are evaluated annually and a valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not give rise to future benefits in the Company’s income tax returns.
THREE FORKS, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND
THE PERIOD OF MARCH 28, 2012 (inception) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2012
The Company has adopted ASC guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and applies to all income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement. At December, 2013 and 2012 there were no uncertain tax positions that required accrual.
(Loss) Per Share
(Loss) per share requires presentation of both basic and diluted (loss) per common share. Common share equivalents, if used, would consist of any options, warrants and contingent shares, and would not be included in the weighted average calculation since their effect would be anti-dilutive due to the net (loss). At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding 6,615,559 and 0, respectively options, warrants or contingent shares.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company, from time to time during the periods covered by these financial statements, may have bank balances in excess of its insured limits. Management has deemed this a normal business risk.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash and highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at their cost less any allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is deterioration in a major customer’s creditworthiness or if actual defaults are higher than the historical experience, the management’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to the Company could be adversely affected. Based on the management’s assessment, there is no reserve recorded at December, 2013 and 2012.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the exploration and production of the Company’s oil and gas properties in the period of production.
THREE FORKS, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND
THE PERIOD OF MARCH 28, 2012 (inception) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2012
Oil and Gas Producing Activities
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. 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. Unproved properties with significant acquisition costs are assessed annually on a property-by-property basis and any impairment in value is charged to expense. If the unproved properties are determined to be productive, the related costs are transferred to proved oil and natural gas properties and are depleted. Proceeds from sales of partial interests in unproved leases are accounted for as a recovery of cost without recognizing any gain or loss until all costs have been recovered. The costs of unproved 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 proved, the related costs transfer to proved oil and natural gas properties using full cost accounting. There were capitalized costs of $5,614,987 and $0 included in the amortization base at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively and the Company did not expense any capitalized costs for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the period March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012.
The Company performs a quarterly “ceiling test” calculation to test its oil and gas properties for possible impairment. The primary components impacting this calculation are commodity prices, reserve quantities added and produced, overall exploration and development costs, depletion expense, and tax effects. If the net capitalized cost of the Company’s oil and gas properties subject to amortization (the carrying value) exceeds the ceiling limitation, the excess would be charged to expense. The ceiling limitation is equal to the sum of the present value discounted at 10% of estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves, the cost of properties not being amortized, the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, and all related tax effects. At December 31, 2013, the calculated value of the ceiling limitation exceeded the carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas properties subject to the test, and no impairment was necessary.
Property and Equipment
Management capitalizes additions to property and equipment. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense. Property and equipment are carried at cost. Adjustment of the asset and the related accumulated depreciation accounts are made for property and equipment retirements and disposals, with the resulting gain or loss included in the statement of operations. The Company has not capitalized any internal costs for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the period March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012.
Other property and equipment, such as office furniture and equipment, and computer hardware and software, are recorded at cost. Costs of renewals and improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred.
Depreciation
For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization of other property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets at acquisition. For income tax reporting purposes, depreciation of other equipment is computed using the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of assets at acquisition.
Depreciation and depletion of capitalized acquisition, exploration and development costs are computed on the units-of-production method by individual fields on the basis of the total estimated units of proved reserves as the related proved reserves are produced.
THREE FORKS, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND
THE PERIOD OF MARCH 28, 2012 (inception) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2012
Depreciation and amortization of oil and gas property and other property and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the period March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012 is $64,589 and $449, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, as set forth in Topic 360 of the ASC, 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 assets. No events occurred during the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the period March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012 that would be indicative of possible impairment.
Other Comprehensive Income
The Company has no material components of other comprehensive loss and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss for the period.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based payment accruals under authoritative guidance on stock compensation as set forth in the Topics of the ASC. The guidance requires all share-based payments to employees and non-employees, including grants of employee and non-employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.
Going Concern and Managements’ Plans
As shown in the accompanying financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2013, the Company has reported an accumulated deficit of $2,508,492. At December 31, 2013, the Company has current assets of $518,186, including cash and cash equivalents of $121,174 and current liabilities of $2,929,355 but has acquired major proved oil and gas properties as described elsewhere in this Annual Report.
To the extent the Company’s operations are not sufficient to fund the Company’s capital and current growth requirements the Company will attempt to raise capital through the sale of additional shares of stock. At the present time, the Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to raise funds through the further issuance of equity in the Company.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, however, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustment to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 11 – SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
In September 2013, the Company commenced a private offering of $2,000,000 of Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in order to complete the purchase of the remaining 37.5% working interest in the Five Jab properties discussed in Note 1. These promissory notes are due in September 2014 including interest at the rate of 10% per annum on the unpaid balance and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock in whole or in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per share 6 months after issuance of the promissory note. One of the subscribers of this offering was Tincup Oil and Gas, LLC, which subscribed for a $250,000 promissory note. A director of the Company is a member of Tincup Oil and Gas, LLC. The offering was not fully subscribed for and therefore at December 31, 2013 the Company owes $1,475,000 plus accrued interest in the amount of $28,205.
Separately and apart, an officer and director of the Company, agreed to make up the difference of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note Offering towards the purchase price of the Five Jab properties in a separate transaction under separate terms with the Company. The officer and director in exchange for secured convertible promissory notes provided the Company each with $300,000 in cash or a total of $600,000. Their promissory notes have a due date of January 2, 2014 including interest at the rate of 10% per annum on the unpaid balance and allow for the conversion of the promissory notes at issuance into common stock in whole or in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per share. The promissory notes provide that in addition to having a due date of January 2, 2014, that at the due date they will each receive a $7,500 payment of fees. If payments are not made on the promissory notes at January 2, 2014, the Company is required to take immediate steps to liquidate the Five Jab properties and the due date will be extended to April 2, 2014. At January 2, 2014, the Company failed to make payment on the notes. At that time Mr. Pollard and Ranew each entered into an Extension and Waiver with the Company. The Extension and Waiver provides that the payment date shall be extended to April 2, 2014 and both holders have waived the provision that steps be taken to liquidate the secured property at this time. If payment is made at April 2, 2014, they will each receive a $15,000 payment of fees. On April 7, 2014, Mr. Pollard and the Company entered into an Extension and Waiver with the Company and extended the maturity date of the promissory note to May 2, 2014. If the property has not been liquidated at such date, Mr. Pollard will be assigned a 5.625% working interest in the Five Jab properties. On March 31, 2014, Mr. Ranew purchased a warrant in consideration for and cancellation of his $300,000 promissory note. At December 31, 2013, the Company owes $600,000 plus accrued interest in the amount of $22,808. See Note 16 – Subsequent Events.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, these promissory notes with their conversion right had an aggregate total intrinsic fair value of $390 and the Company did not record any expense for 2013 in the statement of operations since management considered such amount immaterial.

Information Regarding Proved Oil and Gas Reserves
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved crude oil and natural gas reserves. Crude oil and natural gas reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil and natural gas that cannot be precisely measured. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserves estimates are often different from the quantities of crude oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.
THREE FORKS, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND
THE PERIOD OF MARCH 28, 2012 (inception) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2012
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and 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 – prior to the time at which contracts 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 operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.
The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes all of the following: (a) the area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (b) adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data. In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish a lower contact with reasonable certainty.
Reserves that can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when both of the following occur: (a) successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir of an analogous reservoir, or other evidence of reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based, and (b) the project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.
Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic productivity from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.
Proved developed oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered: (i) through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the costs of a new well; and (ii) through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserve estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.
Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic productivity at greater distances. Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time. Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.
“Prepared” reserves are those quantities of reserves which were prepared by an independent petroleum consultant. “Audited” reserves are those quantities of revenues which were estimated by the Company’s employees and audited by an independent petroleum consultant. An audit is an examination of a company’s proved oil and gas reserves and net cash flow by an independent petroleum consultant that is conducted for the purpose of expressing an opinion as to whether such estimates, in aggregate, are reasonable and have been determined using methods and procedures widely accepted within the industry and in accordance with SEC rules.
Estimates of the Company’s crude oil and natural gas reserves and present values at December 31, 2013 were prepared by Ralph E. Davis Associates, Inc., independent reserve engineers.

AND
FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 2013 THRU SEPTEMBER 1, 2013 (TERMINATION)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding of the Business’s financial statements. The policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements.
Nature of Operations and Organization
Five Jab Inc., an operator of oil and gas properties, and a number of other owners own 75% of the working interest in certain leases located in the states of Texas and Louisiana (the “Business” or Five Jab Inc.”). These leases are proved leaseholds only and include 11 producing crude oil wells and one well that also produced natural gas (the “Properties”). In addition, all of the wells were purchased by the Business and therefore there are no drilling costs incurred by the Business
The Business sold 100% of its 75% working interest in the Properties to Three Forks Inc. effective June 30, 2013 (37.5% WI) and effective September 1, 2013 (37.5% WI) for $3,842,143 in cash plus the assumption of certain liabilities in the amount of $281,962.
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements represent the historical costs of the Business based upon generally accepted accounting principles for the periods presented.
Income Taxes
The Business is taxed as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes and as such each of the owners report separately their pro rata share of income, deductions and losses. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the accompanying financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as of and during the reporting periods. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Such estimates and assumptions are adjusted when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any change in estimates resulting from continuous changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in the future periods.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized on production as it is taken and delivered to the purchasers.

AND
FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 2013 THRU SEPTEMBER 1, 2013 (TERMINATION)
Property and Equipment
The Business accounts for its crude oil and natural gas exploration and development activities under the successful efforts method of accounting. However, the accompanying financial statements are prepared using the full cost method of accounting and the Company intends to continue using the full cost method of accounting for the Properties. The Company has determined there is no material difference between the full cost method of accounting and the successful efforts method of accounting as it relates to the Properties as the Business acquired the Properties when they were considered proved and the Business incurred only completion and workover costs after the Business acquired the Properties. Under the full cost method all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized. 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 transfer to proved oil and natural gas properties using full cost accounting.
Depletion and amortization of capitalized acquisition, exploration and development costs are computed on the units-of-production method by property on the basis of the total estimated units of proved reserves as the related proved reserves are produced. The long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment charged is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment was recognized at September 1, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Other property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method of accounting over the assets’ estimated useful lives of seven years.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas properties and other property and equipment for the period January 1, 2013 through September 1, 2013 (termination) and the year ended December 31, 2012 were $81,080 and $66,614, respectively.
Other Comprehensive Income
The Company has no material components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accordingly, net income (loss) is equal to comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through April 14, 2014, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and has concluded no events need to be reported.

NOTE 2 – SALE OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
The Business sold 100% of its 75% working interest in the Properties to Three Forks Inc. effective June 30, 2013 (37.5% WI) and September 1, 2013 (37.5% WI) for $3,842,143 in cash plus the assumption of liabilities in the amount of $281,962 and recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 360 a gain on the sale in the amount of $2,277,453 as reported in the statement of operations for the period January 1, 2013 through September 1, 2013 (termination).
NOTE 3 – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The Property’s asset retirement obligations reported as accrued liabilities arise from the plugging and abandonment liabilities for the oil and gas wells. The Company has determined there is no salvage value associated with the Property’s tangible assets at the time the wells are retired. The following is a reconciliation of the Property’s asset retirement obligations for the period January 1, 2013 through September 1, 2013 (termination) and the year ended December 31, 2012.

NOTE 4 – INFORMATION ON BUSINESS SEGMENTS
At September 1, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company considered its business activities to constitute a single segment.
NOTE 5 – SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS RESERVE INFORMATION (Unaudited)
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved crude oil and natural gas reserves. Crude oil and natural gas reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil and natural gas that cannot be precisely measured. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserves estimates are often different from the quantities of crude oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012
AND
FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 2013 THRU SEPTEMBER 1, 2013 (TERMINATION)
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and 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 – prior to the time at which contracts 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 operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.
The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes all of the following: (a) the area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (b) adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data. In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish a lower contact with reasonable certainty.
Reserves that can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when both of the following occur: (a) successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir of an analogous reservoir, or other evidence of reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based, and (b) the project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.
Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic productivity from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.
Proved developed oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered: (i) through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the costs of a new well; and (ii) through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserve estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.
Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic productivity at greater distances. Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time. Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.
“Prepared” reserves are those quantities of reserves which were prepared by an independent petroleum consultant. “Audited” reserves are those quantities of revenues which were estimated by the Company’s employees and audited by an independent petroleum consultant. An audit is an examination of a company’s proved oil and gas reserves and net cash flow by an independent petroleum consultant that is conducted for the purpose of expressing an opinion as to whether such estimates, in aggregate, are reasonable and have been determined using methods and procedures widely accepted within the industry and in accordance with SEC rules.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Organization
Three Forks, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 28, 2012 in the State of Colorado. The Company’s business plan focuses on the development as an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of North American conventional oil and gas properties through the acquisition of leases and/or royalty interests and developing the properties for maximum cash flow.
On September 7, 2012, the Company acquired working interests between 10.12% and 10.50% in five (5) producing oil and gas wells along with mineral interests in proved undeveloped leaseholds totaling approximately 320 acres located in Weld county Colorado valued at $1,477,990 as well as a 76.25% working interest in undeveloped leaseholds totaling approximately 120 acres located in Morgan county Colorado valued at $14,000 in exchange for the issuance of 700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $1,400,000 or $2.00 per share and the assumption of certain debt in the amount of $91,990. In addition, the Company was required to fund an escrow account in the amount of $55,000 for legal services that may occur over a three year period from the date of the acquisition and this escrow account at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 has a balance of $55,163 and $55,163 respectively. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company sold its entire interest in these oil and gas properties located in Weld county Colorado for $1,600,000 in cash. See Note 4 – Disposal Group Held for Sale.
On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Farmout Agreement (“Farmout”) where the Company had a 100% working interest in 320gross/290net acres of mineral interests located in Archer county Texas subject to the Farmout. In consideration of Three Forks No. 1, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“LLC”), undertaking and paying it’s pro rata portion of the costs associated with the drilling and completion of 9 wells in Archer county Texas on the Farmout property, the Company assigned 87% of the working interest in the Farmout to the LLC. Likewise, on January 1, 2013, the Company assigned 2% of the working interest in the Farmout to two members of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Three Forks LLC No. 2 (“Three Forks No. 2”) was organized in the State of Colorado on December 4, 2013. The Company is the manager of the Three Forks No. 2 and the Company does not hold an equity interest in Three Forks No. 2. Three Forks No. 2 has been organized to fund and develop the proposed drilling of additional wells in Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas.
Effective June 30, 2013 and September 1, 2013, the Company acquired a 37.5% and 37.5% working interest, respectively or a total of 75% working interest in certain oil and gas properties located in Louisiana and Texas totaling approximately 1955 gross acres known as the Five JAB, Inc. properties in exchange for $3,869,497 in cash plus the assumption of liabilities in the amount of $281,962 as part of a purchase sale and participation agreement dated February 27, 2013 as well as participate in a development program that includes the drilling and completion of additional wells
The Company’s acquisition of the 75% of working interest in the oil and gas properties was accounted for as an acquisition for accounting purposes.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company, from time to time during the periods covered by these financial statements, may have bank balances in excess of its insured limits. Management has deemed this a normal business risk.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash and highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at their cost less any allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is deterioration in a major customer’s creditworthiness or if actual defaults are higher than the historical experience, the management’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to the Company could be adversely affected. Based on the management’s assessment, there is no reserve recorded at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Oil and Gas Activities
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. 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. Unproved properties with significant acquisition costs are assessed annually on a property-by-property basis and any impairment in value is charged to expense. If the unproved properties are determined to be productive, the related costs are transferred to proved oil and natural gas properties and are depleted. Proceeds from sales of partial interests in unproved leases are accounted for as a recovery of cost without recognizing any gain or loss until all costs have been recovered. The costs of unproved 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 proved, the related costs transfer to proved oil and natural gas properties using full cost accounting. There were capitalized costs of $5,812,630 and $5,614,987 included in the amortization base at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively and the Company did not expense any capitalized costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Company performs a quarterly “ceiling test” calculation to test its oil and gas properties for possible impairment. The primary components impacting this calculation are commodity prices, reserve quantities added and produced, overall exploration and development costs, depletion expense, and tax effects. If the net capitalized cost of the Company’s oil and gas properties subject to amortization (the carrying value) exceeds the ceiling limitation, the excess would be charged to expense. The ceiling limitation is equal to the sum of the present value discounted at 10% of estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves, the cost of properties not being amortized, the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, and all related tax effects. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the calculated value of the ceiling limitation exceeded the carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas properties subject to the test, and no impairment was necessary.
Property and Equipment
Management capitalizes additions to property and equipment. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense. Property and equipment are carried at cost. Adjustment of the asset and the related accumulated depreciation accounts are made for property and equipment retirements and disposals, with the resulting gain or loss included in the statement of operations. The Company has not capitalized any internal costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Other property and equipment, such as office furniture and equipment, and computer hardware and software, are recorded at cost. Costs of renewals and improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred.
Depreciation
For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization of other property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets at acquisition. For income tax reporting purposes, depreciation of other equipment is computed using the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of assets at acquisition.
Depreciation and depletion of capitalized acquisition, exploration and development costs are computed on the units-of-production method by individual fields on the basis of the total estimated units of proved reserves as the related proved reserves are produced.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas property and other property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is $56,259 and $832, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, as set forth in Topic 360 of the ASC, 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 assets. No events occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively that would be indicative of possible impairment.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company’s asset retirement obligations arise from plugging and abandonment liabilities for the Company’s natural gas and oil wells.
Other Comprehensive (Loss)
The Company has no material components of other comprehensive loss and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss for the period.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method as prescribed by ASC authoritative guidance. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the basis difference reverses. The realizability of deferred tax assets are evaluated annually and a valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not give rise to future benefits in the Company’s income tax returns.
The Company assessed the likelihood of utilization of the deferred tax asset, in light of the recent losses. As a result of this review, the deferred tax asset of $1,714,920 has been fully reserved at March 31, 2014. At March 31, 2014, the Company has incurred net operating losses for income tax purposes of approximately $4,400,000. Such losses may be carried forward and are scheduled to expire in the year 2033, if not utilized, and may be subject to certain limitations as provided by the Internal Revenue Code.
The Company has adopted ASC guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and applies to all income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement. At March 31, 2014, there were no uncertain tax positions that required accrual.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding including the effect of the Company’s potentially dilutive securities. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities consist of options, warrants and convertible promissory notes to purchase the Company’s common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are not included in the weighted average calculation for net loss per common share since their effect would be anti-dilutive due to the net loss. The treasury method is used by the Company to measure the dilutive effect of stock options, warrants and convertible promissory notes. Since the option price is significantly greater than the current value of the Company’s common stock, management has determined the effective exercise of the dilutive securities would have no effect on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. Therefore, the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for net income from continuing operations is the same for the periods presented. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had outstanding 8,077,435 and 2,250,000, respectively of potentially dilutive options, warrants and convertible promissory notes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the exploration and production of the Company’s oil and gas properties in the period of production. Management fee income is recognized in the period where the Company performs the services as manager of a limited liability company.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based payment accruals under authoritative guidance on stock compensation as set forth in the Topics of the ASC. The guidance requires all share-based payments to employees and non-employees, including grants of employee and non-employee stock options and warrants, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.
Going Concern and Managements’ Plans
As shown in the accompanying financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company has reported an accumulated deficit of $3,233,942. At March 31, 2014, the Company has current assets of $458,484, including cash and cash equivalents of $74,275 and current liabilities of $1,826,461. The Company does recognize revenues from the properties it acquired in 2013 and continues to develop these properties to improve production.
To the extent the Company’s operations are not sufficient to fund the Company’s capital and current growth requirements the Company will attempt to raise capital through the sale of additional shares of stock. At the present time, the Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to raise funds through the further issuance of equity in the Company. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, however, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustment to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As part of its ongoing business, the Company has not participated in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (SPEs), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. From its incorporation on March 28, 2012 through March 31, 2014, the Company has not been involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s net loss.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 10 – SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
In September 2013, the Company commenced a private offering of $2,000,000 of Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in order to complete the purchase of the remaining 37.5% working interest in the Five JAB properties discussed in Note 1. These promissory notes in the amount of $1,475,000 have a maturity date in September 2014 including interest at the rate of 10% per annum on the unpaid balance and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock in whole or in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per share 6 months after issuance of the promissory note. One of the subscribers of this offering is Tincup Oil and Gas, LLC, which subscribed for a $250,000 promissory note. A director of the Company is a member of Tincup Oil and Gas, LLC. On March 31, 2014, the holders of promissory notes purchased 1,390,000 of two year warrants in consideration for and cancellation of $1,390,000 of debt. Therefore, at March 31, 2014, the Company owes promissory notes in the amount of $85,000. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events.
Separately and apart, an officer and director of the Company, agreed to make up the difference of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note Offering towards the purchase price of the Five JAB properties in a separate transaction under separate terms with the Company. The officer and director in exchange for secured convertible promissory notes provided the Company each with $300,000 in cash or a total of $600,000. Their promissory notes have a due date of January 2, 2014 including interest at the rate of 10% per annum on the unpaid balance and allow for the conversion of the promissory notes at issuance into common stock in whole or in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per share. The promissory notes provide that in addition to having a due date of January 2, 2014, that at the due date they will each receive a $7,500 payment of fees. If payments are not made on the promissory notes at January 2, 2014, the Company is required to take immediate steps to liquidate the Five JAB properties and the due date will be extended to April 2, 2014. At January 2, 2014, the Company failed to make payment on the notes. At that time Mr. Pollard and Ranew each entered into an Extension and Waiver with the Company. The Extension and Waiver provides that the payment date shall be extended to April 2, 2014 and both holders have waived the provision that steps be taken to liquidate the secured property at this time. They will each receive a $15,000 payment of fees. On April 7, 2014, Mr. Pollard and the Company entered into an Extension and Waiver with the Company and extended the maturity date of the promissory note to May 2, 2014. The note was paid in full on May 9, 2014. On March 31, 2014, Mr. Ranew purchased 300,000 of two year warrants in consideration for and cancellation of his $300,000 promissory note. Therefore, at March 31 2014, the Company owes $300,000. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Business’s financial statements. The policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements.
Nature of Operations and Organization
Five JAB, Inc. (“Five JAB”), an operator of oil and gas properties, and a number of other owners own 75% of the working interest in certain leases located in the states of Texas and Louisiana (the “Business” or “Five JAB, Inc.”). These leases are proved leaseholds only and include 11 producing crude oil wells and one well that also produced natural gas (the “Properties”). In addition, all of the wells were purchased by the Business and therefore there are no drilling costs incurred by the Business.
The Business sold 100% of its 75% working interest in the Properties to Three Forks, Inc. effective June 30, 2013 (37.5% WI) and effective September 1, 2013 (37.5% WI) for $3,842,143 in cash plus the assumption of certain liabilities in the amount of $281,962.
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements represent the historical costs of the Business based upon generally accepted accounting principles for the periods presented.
Income Taxes
The Business is taxed as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes and as such each of the owners report separately their pro rata share of income, deductions and losses. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the accompanying financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as of and during the reporting periods. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Such estimates and assumptions are adjusted when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any change in estimates resulting from continuous changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in the future periods.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized on production as it is taken and delivered to the purchasers and payment is made to the Business.
Property and Equipment
The Business accounts for its crude oil and natural gas exploration and development activities under the successful efforts method of accounting. Under such method, costs of productive exploratory wells, development dry holes and productive wells and undeveloped leases are capitalized. Oil and gas lease acquisition costs are also capitalized. Exploration costs and certain geological or geophysical expenses charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized, but evaluated quarterly
and charged to expense if and when the well is determined not to have found reserves in commercial quantities. The sale of a partial interest in a proved property is accounted for as a cost recovery and no gain or loss is recognized as long as this treatment does not significantly affect the units-of-production amortization rate. A gain or loss is recognized for all other sale of producing properties.
Unproved properties with significant acquisition costs are assessed quarterly on a property-by-property basis and any impairment in value is charged to expense. If the unproved properties are determined to be productive, the related costs are transferred to proved oil and gas properties. Proceeds from sales of partial interests in unproved leases are accounted for as a recovery of costs without recognizing any gain or loss until all costs have been recovered. There are no unproved properties at September 1, 2013.
Depletion and amortization of capitalized acquisition, exploration and development costs are computed on the units-of-production method by property on the basis of total estimated units of proved reserves as the related proved reserves are produced. The long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment charged is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment was recognized at September 1, 2013.
Other property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method of accounting over the assets’ estimated useful lives of seven years.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas properties and other property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $37,195.
Other Comprehensive Income
The Company has no material components of other comprehensive income (loss) and accordingly, net income (loss) is equal to comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and has concluded no events need to be reported.
NOTE 2 – INFORMATION ON BUSINESS SEGMENTS
At September 1, 2013, the Company considered its business activities to constitute a single segment.

Convertible Promissory Notes at December 31, 2013
In September 2013, we commenced a private offering of $2,000,000 Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in order to complete the purchase of the remaining 37.5% WI in the Five JABS property discussed above. These notes are due in September 2014 and are convertible into shares of our common stock in whole or in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per share 6 months after issuance of the secured convertible promissory note. The conversion of the
convertible promissory notes into shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to the holdings of our existing shareholders. The Secured Convertible Promissory Notes are secured by the Company’s 75% of the right, title and working interest in 1,955 gross leasehold acres including 13 producing wells, 9 service wells and 14 additional wellbores located in the States of Texas and Louisiana, the Five JABS properties. The offering was not fully subscribed and a total of $1,535,000 was raised. Tincup Oil and Gas, LLC of which Mr. Ranew, a former director of the Company, is a member, holds a Secured Convertible Promissory Note for $250,000. At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $1,475,000 in outstanding secured convertible promissory notes.
On March 31, 2014, holders of the above promissory notes purchased 1,390,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of their promissory notes issued to them by the Company in the amount of $1,390,000. A warrant entitles the holder for a term of two years to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at the rate of $1.00 per share. Therefore, as of March 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,390,000 warrants to holders of the promissory notes in cancellation of $1,390,000 in debt.
Separately and apart, two members of management agreed to make up the difference of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note Offering and the purchase price of Five JABS in a separate transaction with separate terms with the Company. Mr. Charles Pollard, a director and former officer, and Mr. Lester Ranew, a former director of the Company, in exchange for secured convertible promissory notes provided the Company with a total of $600,000 cash ($300,000 each). At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $600,000 to Mr. Pollard and Mr. Ranew.
Mr. Pollard’s and Mr. Ranew’s notes have a due date of January 2, 2014 and allow for the conversion of the notes into common stock upon issuance. Their notes provide that in addition to having a due date of January 2, 2014, that at the due date they will each receive a $7,500 payment of fees and interest. If the notes are not paid at January 2, 2014, the Company is required to take immediate steps to liquidate the secured property and the due date will be extended to April 2, 2014. At January 2, 2014, the Company failed to make payment on the notes. At that time Mr. Pollard and Ranew each entered into an Extension and Waiver with the Company. The Extension and Waiver provides that the payment date shall be extended to April 2, 2014 and both holders have waived the provision that steps be taken to liquidate the secured property at this time. On April 7, 2014, Mr. Pollard extended the payment date on his note to May 2, 2014 and if the payment is not made or the property has not been liquidated then he will be assigned a 5.625% interest in the Five JABS properties. On March 31, 2014, Mr. Ranew purchased 300,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of his promissory note issued to him by the Company in the amount of $300,000. In May 2014, Mr. Pollard's note was paid in full.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company granted options for 1,000,000 shares in exchange for cash of $50,000 and 200,000 shares to Mr. Ranew, a member of the Board, at the time, in exchange for cash of $200,000 as well as issued warrants for 275,000 shares in exchange for $27 in cash.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at their cost less any allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is deterioration in a major customer’s creditworthiness or if actual defaults are higher than the historical experience, the management’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to the Company could be adversely affected. Based on the management’s assessment, there is no reserve recorded at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the exploration and production of the Company’s oil and gas properties in the period of production. Management fee income is recognized in the period where the Company performs the services as manager of a limited liability company.
Property and Equipment
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. 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. Unproved properties with significant acquisition costs are assessed annually on a property-by-property basis and any impairment in value is charged to expense. If the unproved properties are determined to be productive, the related costs are transferred to proved oil and natural gas properties and are depleted. Proceeds from sales of partial interests in unproved leases are accounted for as a recovery of cost without recognizing any gain or loss until all costs have been recovered. The costs of unproved 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 proved, the related costs transfer to proved oil and natural gas properties using full cost accounting. There were capitalized costs of $5,812,630 and $5,614,987 included in the amortization base at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively and the Company did not expense any capitalized costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
The Company performs a quarterly “ceiling test” calculation to test its oil and gas properties for possible impairment. The primary components impacting this calculation are commodity prices, reserve quantities added and produced, overall exploration and development costs, depletion expense, and tax effects. If the net capitalized cost of the Company’s oil and gas properties subject to amortization (the carrying value) exceeds the ceiling limitation, the excess would be charged to expense. The ceiling limitation is equal to the sum of the present value discounted at 10% of estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves, the cost of properties not being amortized, the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, and all related tax effects. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the calculated value of the ceiling limitation exceeded the carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas properties subject to the test, and no impairment was necessary.
Management capitalizes additions to property and equipment. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense. Property and equipment are carried at cost. Adjustment of the asset and the related accumulated depreciation accounts are made for property and equipment retirements and disposals, with the resulting gain or loss included in the statement of operations. The Company has not capitalized any internal costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
Other property and equipment, such as office furniture and equipment, and computer hardware and software, are recorded at cost. Costs of renewals and improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred.
For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization of other property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets at acquisition. For income tax reporting purposes, depreciation of other equipment is computed using the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of assets at acquisition.
Depreciation and depletion of capitalized acquisition, exploration and development costs are computed on the units-of-production method by individual fields on the basis of the total estimated units of proved reserves as the related proved reserves are produced.
Depreciation and amortization of oil and gas property and other property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 is $56,259 and $832, respectively.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based payment accruals under authoritative guidance on stock compensation as set forth in the Topics of the ASC. The guidance requires all share-based payments to employees and non-employees, including grants of employee and non-employee stock options and warrants, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.

Conflicts of Interest – General.
Our directors and officers are, or may become, in their individual capacities, officers, directors, controlling shareholder and/or partners of other entities engaged in a variety of businesses. Thus, there exist potential conflicts of interest including, among other things, time, efforts and corporation opportunity, involved in participation with such other business entities. While the officers and directors of our business are engaged full time in our business activities, the amount of time they devote to other business may be up to approximately 30 hours per week.
Conflicts of Interest – Corporate Opportunities
Certain of our officers and directors may be directors and/or principal stockholders of other companies and, therefore, could face conflicts of interest with respect to potential acquisitions. In addition, our officers and directors may in the future participate in business ventures, which could be deemed to compete directly with us. Additional conflicts of interest and non-arms length transactions may also arise in the future in the event our officers or directors are involved in the management of any firm with which we transact business. Our Board of Directors has adopted a policy that we will not seek a merger with, or acquisition of, any entity in which management serve as officers or directors, or in which they or their family members own or hold a controlling ownership interest. Although the Board of Directors could elect to change this policy, the Board of Directors has no present intention to do so. In addition, if we and other companies with which our officers and directors are affiliated both desire to take advantage of a potential business opportunity, then the Board of Directors has agreed that said opportunity should be available to each such company in the order in which such companies registered or became current in the filing of annual reports under the Exchange Act subsequent to January 1, 2013.
Our officers and directors may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of a portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. It is anticipated that a substantial premium over the initial cost of such shares may be paid by the purchaser in conjunction with any sale of shares by our officers and directors which is made as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. The fact that a substantial premium may be paid to our officers and directors to acquire their shares creates a potential conflict of interest for them in satisfying their fiduciary duties to us and our other stockholders. Even though such a sale could result in a substantial profit to them, they would be legally required to make the decision based upon the best interests of us and our other stockholders, rather than their own personal pecuniary benefit.
PROJECTED STAFF
Staffing
As of December 31, 2013, we have 6 full-time employees and 4 independent consultants. This lean staffing is possible in this phase because of our determination to outsource all operating functions. Our staff positions will be filled as budget allows and business demands require, and the positions may be altered in response to business needs.

Three Forks No. 1 LLC
On December 31, 2012, we entered into a Farmout Agreement where we had a 100% working interest in 320 gross and 290 net acres of mineral interests located in Archer County Texas subject to the Farmout. In consideration of Three Forks No. 1 undertaking and paying it’s pro rata portion of the costs associated with the drilling and completion of 9 wells in Archer County Texas on the Farmout property, we assigned 87% of the working interest in the Farmout to the LLC. Likewise, on January 1, 2013, we assigned 1% of the WI to each Messrs. Young and Nichols, officers and directors of the Company, (a total of 2% of the WI) in the Farmout. These WIs’ were assigned the proportional cash payment of 2% of the project costs.
Mr. Lester Ranew, a former director of the Company, purchase 6 Units in the Three Forks No. 1, representing 5.41% equity interest in Three Forks No. 1.
Accrued liabilities – related party
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company was advanced funds from Mr. Ranew, a director of the Company at the time, who is also a member of Tin Cup LLC and at December 31, 2013 the Company owes $209,520. In addition, during the year 2013, the Company was advanced funds from Three Forks No 1 LLC and at December 31, 2013 owes $2,685.
At December 31, 2012, we owed an affiliate of one of our former officers and directors a total of $15,000 in fees for services rendered. Such fees were paid during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Shares for Services
During the year ended December 31, 2013, Mr. Dragul and Mr. Panigrahi a member of the Board of Directors and a former member, respectively were issued 25,000 and 175,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for services in the amount of $17,600 or at a fair value of $0.088 per share.
In March 2012, the Company issued 5,325,000 shares of its common stock to its members of the Board of Directors and officers in exchange for services in the amount of $5,325 or at a fair value of $0.001 per share.
Secured Convertible Promissory Notes
In September 2013, we commenced a private offering of $2,000,000 Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in order to complete the purchase of the remaining 37.5% WI in the Five JABS property discussed above. These notes are due in September 2014 and are convertible into shares of our common stock in whole or in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per share 6 months after issuance of the secured convertible promissory note. The conversion of the convertible promissory notes into shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to the holdings of our existing shareholders. The Secured Convertible Promissory Notes are secured by the Company’s 75% of the right, title and working interest in 1,955 gross leasehold acres including 13 producing wells, 9 service wells and 14 additional wellbores located in the States of Texas and Louisiana, the Five JABS properties. The offering was not fully subscribed and a total of $1,535,000 was raised. Tincup Oil and Gas, LLC of which Mr. Ranew, a former director of the Company, is a member, holds a Secured Convertible Promissory Note for $250,000. At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $1,475,000 in outstanding secured convertible promissory notes.
On March 31, 2014, holders of the above promissory notes purchased 1,390,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of their promissory notes issued to them by the Company in the amount of $1,390,000. A warrant entitles the holder for a term of two years to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at the rate of $1.00 per share. Therefore, as of March 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,390,000 warrants to holders of the promissory notes in cancellation of $1,390,000 in debt.
Separately and apart, two members of management agreed to make up the difference of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note Offering and the purchase price of Five JABS in a separate transaction with separate terms with the Company. Mr. Charles Pollard, a director and former officer, and Mr. Lester Ranew, a former director of the Company, in exchange for secured convertible promissory notes provided the Company with a total of $600,000 cash ($300,000 each). At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $600,000 to Mr. Pollard and Mr. Ranew.
Mr. Pollard’s and Mr. Ranew’s notes have a due date of January 2, 2014 and allow for the conversion of the notes into common stock upon issuance. Their notes provide that in addition to having a due date of January 2, 2014, that at the due date they will each receive a $7,500 payment of fees and interest. If the notes are not paid at January 2, 2014, the Company is required to take immediate steps to liquidate the secured property and the due date will be extended to April 2, 2014. At January 2, 2014, the Company failed to make payment on the notes. At that time Mr. Pollard and Ranew each entered into an Extension and Waiver with the Company. The Extension and Waiver provides that the payment date shall be extended to April 2, 2014 and both holders have waived the provision that steps be taken to liquidate the secured property at this time. On April 7, 2014, Mr. Pollard extended the payment date on his note to May 2, 2014 and if the payment is not made or the property has not been liquidated then he will be assigned a 5.625% interest in the Five JABS properties. On March 31, 2014, Mr. Ranew purchased 300,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of his promissory note issued to him by the Company in the amount of $300,000.
Director Independence
Our board of directors undertook its annual review of the independence of the directors and considered whether any director had a material relationship with us or our management that could compromise his ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities. As a result of this review, the board of directors affirmatively determined that Messrs. and Dragul. Young is “independent” as such term is used under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Mr. Nichols, as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, Mr. Pollard as the former President and Chief Operating Officer is not considered to be “independent.”
There are no promoters being used in relation to this offering. No person who may, in the future, be considered a promoter of this offering, will receive or expect to receive assets, services or other considerations from us. No assets will be, nor expected to be, acquired from any promoter on behalf of us. We have not entered into any agreements that require disclosure to the shareholders.

ITEM 12A. DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
The Colorado Business Corporation Act requires us to indemnify officers and directors for any expenses incurred by any officer or director in connection with any actions or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, brought against such officer or director because of his or her status as an officer or director, to the extent that the director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action or proceeding. The Colorado Business Corporation Act permits a corporation to indemnify an officer or director, even in the absence of an agreement to do so, for expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding if such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of us and such indemnification is authorized by the stockholders, by a quorum of disinterested directors, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion authorized by a majority vote of a quorum of directors consisting of disinterested directors, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of disinterested directors cannot be obtained.
The Colorado Business Corporation Act prohibits indemnification of a director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that the officer’s or director’s acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the cause of action. Despite the foregoing limitations on indemnification, the Colorado Business Corporation Act may permit an officer or director to apply to the court for approval of indemnification even if the officer or director is adjudged to have committed intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.
The Colorado Business Corporation Act also provides that indemnification of directors is not permitted for the unlawful payment of distributions, except for those directors registering their dissent to the payment of the distribution.
According to our bylaws, we are authorized to indemnify our directors to the fullest extent authorized under Colorado Law subject to certain specified limitations.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we are advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Colorado Revised Statutes and the bylaws.

Our bylaws provide that no advance shall be made by us to an officer except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was our director in which event this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of us.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
We hereby undertake the following:
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
| (a) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
| (b) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement, or most recent post-effective amendment, which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; and |
| (c) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. |
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the Offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of the directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of the directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
For the purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, if the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
SIGNATURES
