HISTORY
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 10% 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 37.5% WI in 13 producing wells, 9 service
wells and 14 additional wellbores and we are party to a binding
agreement to acquire on September 1, 2013, an additional 37.5% WI in
these same properties for a total of a 75% WI.
We intend to acquire additional acreage to drill in other areas where deemed
attractive, though no such additional prospects have been put under contract 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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012
has a balance of $55,122 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 principal executive offices are located at 555 Eldorado Boulevard, Suite
100, Broomfield, Colorado 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.

established to handle and manage our exploration, drilling and production
operations, including our Archer County, Texas Farmout. At June 30, 2013, TFI
Operating did not have any assets and has yet to commence operations.
Three Forks No. 1, LLC ("Three Forks No. 1") was organized in the State of
Colorado on November 8, 2012. We are the manager of Three Forks No. 1 and we do
not hold an equity interest in Three Forks No. 1. Three Forks No. 1 owns 87% of
the working interest in the Archer County, Texas Farmout. As the manager of
Three Forks No. 1, we handle and oversee the operations on the property in
Archer County, Texas.
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. Walford, Young
and Nichols, officers and directors of the Company and retained a 10% 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.
-5-
POTTAWATOMIE COUNTY, OKLAHOMA
On April 8, 2013, we entered into a Participation Agreement with Blue Quail,
Ltd. ("the Participation Agreement"). In exchange for an 80% Net Revenue
Interest ("NRI") and a 25% WI in the Jim #1-33 Well, as of June 30, 2013 we have
paid $198,000. The Jim #1-33 Well has been drilled in Pottawatomie 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 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 is 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.
Our acquisition of the 37.5% 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 10% 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 10% 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
considered to be a part of the Bend Arch-Fort Worth Basin. Ellenburger Group
carbonate rocks represent a broad epeiric carbonate platform covering most of
Texas during the Early Ordovician period. The formation is a resultant of a
pronounced drop in sea level sometime between Late Ordovician and Mississippian
time resulted in prolonged platform exposure.
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. The Ellenburger
formation has not been developed in the immediate vicinity of the wells and will
more than likely be a new field discovery, if proven productive in the field
work.
We intend to drill a minimum of nine wells to fully develop the reserve
potential on this lease and Three Forks No. 1 has paid $1.3 million in capital
for drilling and completion costs and about $200,000 for 3D seismic and
facilities.
-6-
PLEASE SEE PHOTO ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT 99.1.
In August 2013, the Company had successfully drilled five wells.
Three of the drilled wells are in varying stages of completion. The G. A.
Jennings "BB" #104 has been perforated and flow tested in the KMA interval. It
tested 9 BOPD and 17 BWPD for 24 hours prior to a fracture treatment on August
13, 2013, wherein 60,000 lbs. of sand were pumped under pressure to stimulate
the well and increase the well's overall flow rate. Final test data and
reporting is pending well flow back results. The G. A. Jennings "BB" #103 tested
oil from the Ellenburger formation at non-commercial rates. The well was
acidized to improve flow with only limited success. The well has since been
perforated in the Caddo and Bend formations with oil and gas flow following this
work. The well is scheduled for an acid treatment later this month. Well
completion work in the #101, #102 and #105 wells will follow the current well
work. One additional well is currently being permitted. We plan to drill up to
nine wells with an average well expected to initially test for 25-50 BOPD.
Capital expenditures ("Capex") on this project is projected at $3.0 million. As
of June 30, 2013, a total of $1.1 million has been invested for drilling,
$50,000 for seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation, and $300,000 for
equipment including $140,098 in total costs incurred by the Company.
PINK PROJECT, POTTAWATOMIE COUNTY, 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
within the Morvin Oilfield 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.
Drilling operations began in early April with the geologist, driller and
operator (Blue Quail Ltd) each taking a 25% WI. Well number one has been drilled
and logged and completed. Facilities for this well have been installed and the
well is pumping to the permanent facilities at 9 bbls of fluid per hour with
pressures continuing to increase as the well cleans up from the drilling and
completion operation. Estimates based on local well control and the logs are
100-200 bopd.
-7-
PLEASE SEE PHOTO ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT 99.2.
The Jim #1-33 well is located in a multiple pay area within the Morvin Oilfield.
It contained 22 feet of microlog permeability in the Hunton Bois D'Arc interval.
Additional producing intervals in the area include the Red Forks Sand, Misener
Sand, Viola Lime, Simpson Dolomite, and the 1st and 2nd Wilcox Sands.
As of June 30, 2013, we have spent $198,000 on the Pink Project with a total
2013 capex projected at approximately $1.2 million.
FIVE JAB - EVANGELINE/ST. MARY'S PARISHES, LOUISIANA AND MONTGOMERY/TYLER
COUNTY, TEXAS
In June 2013, we acquired 37.5% WI and are under a binding contract to acquire
the remaining available 37.5% WI on September 1, 2013 for 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, for $3.8 million. The remaining 25% WI is owned
by Five Jab, Inc. and other non-affiliated owners. The properties currently
produce 100 BOPD and 50 MCFPD.
We have agreed to capital spending in 2013 of $1.25 million for 11 workovers. We
expect to spend a total of $5 million for these projects.
Spread across Montgomery, Jasper and Tyler Counties in Texas and the Evangeline
and St. Mary Parishes in Louisiana, 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 plays make up the geological success of the area. The Five
Jab properties are all located on shore.
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.
-8-
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.
-9-
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.
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.
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.
-10-
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.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
NUMBER OF PERSONS EMPLOYED
As of August 28, 2013, we have 6 full-time employees and 4 independent
consultants.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES/ASSETS
Real Estate None
Oil and Gas Properties See below.
Patents None
Trademarks None
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.
SUMMARY OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS RESERVES
PROVED DEVELOPED RESERVES AND PROVED UNDEVELOPED RESERVES
As of December 31, 2012, our reserves were solely attributable to our interest
in properties in Weld County, Colorado acquired on September 7, 2012 and which
were sold with an effective date of January 1, 2013 for $1.6 million in cash and
these properties were recorded on the balance sheet of the Company in accordance
-11-
with Topic 205 of the Codification as property held for sale. Therefore, the
Company did not disclose these properties in our financial statements as
unaudited supplemental information relating to oil and natural gas producing
activities since these properties were not considered part of the Company's
amortizable base under the full cost method of accounting followed by the
Company.
On February 8, 2013, we received a Reserves Report for the Five Jab properties
as part of our due diligence work for the property acquisition. The report is
for 8/8ths reserves of which we purchased 37.5% WI on June 30, 2013 and the
additional 37.5% WI we intend to acquire by September 1, 2013. These numbers are
not adjusted to the Company's NRI or WI in the properties. See "Financial
Statements and Exhibits"
The 8/8th reserves numbers are as of February 8, 2013, and are as follows:

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
Our reserve report for the Weld County, Colorado properties was prepared for
MAK-J Energy, the property operator at the time, by Cawley, Gillespie and
Associates, an independent petroleum engineering firm ("CGA"). The reserve
report for the Five Jab acquisition was prepared for us on February 8, 2013, by
Ralph E. Davis Associates, Inc, ("RED") as part of our acquisition due diligence
work. CGA and 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, 2012 (CGA and RED).
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.
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 CGA and 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 of each of the CGA's and RED's reserve reports are reviewed with
representatives of CGA and RED and our internal technical staff before we
disseminate any of the information is disseminated. Additionally, our senior
management reviews and approved the CGA and RED reserve reports 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
-12-
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 12
-- 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,
CGA and RED employ 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.
SUMMARY OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES AND PROJECTS
PRODUCTION, PRICE AND COST HISTORY
During the period of March 8, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012, we
recognized $78,712 in revenue of oil sales and gas from our properties in Weld
County, which were sold in January 2013. The $78,712 in sales was a result of
the sale of 1,119 BOE at an average price of $83 per barrel and $3.50 per MCF.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we did not recognize any revenues
from our activities.

DRILLING ACTIVITY
Our operational activities are focused on drilling and developing our properties
under lease.
ARCHER COUNTY
In June 2013, the Company had successfully drilled five wells and was in the
process of testing oil from the Ellenburger formation.
Three of the wells are in varying stages of completion. None of the wells were
dry holes. The G. A. Jennings "BB" #104 has been perforated and flow tested in
the KMA interval. It tested 9 BOPD and 17 BWPD for 24 hours prior to a fracture
treatment on August 13, 2013, wherein 60,000 lbs. of sand were pumped under
pressure to stimulate the well and increase the well's overall flow rate. Final
test data and reporting is pending well flow back results. The G. A. Jennings
"BB" #103 tested oil from the Ellenburger formation at non-commercial rates. The
well was acidized to improve flow with only limited success. The well has since
been perforated in the Caddo and Bend formations with oil and gas flow following
this work. The well is scheduled for an acid treatment later this month. Well
completion work in the #101, #102 and #105 wells will follow the current well
work. One additional well is currently being permitted. We plan to drill up to
nine wells with an average well expected to initially test for 25-50 BOPD.
PINK PROJECT, POTTAWATOMIE COUNTY, OKLAHOMA
Drilling operations began in early April with the geologist, driller and
operator (Blue Quail Ltd) each taking a 25% WI. Well number one has been drilled
and logged and completed. Facilities for this well have been installed and the
well has pumping to the permanent facilities at 9 bbls of fluid per hour with
pressures continuing to increase as the well cleans up from the drilling and
completion operation. Estimates based on local well control and the logs is
100-200 bopd.

Our Budget for operations in the next year is as follows:
Working Capital $ 3,000,000
Drilling and Development of Five Jab Wells $ 1,500,000
Targeted Acquisition $ 7,000,000
Drilling and Development of new areas $ 2,000,000
Fees, commissions and general expenses $ 1,500,000
---------------
$ 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,
though none in the six months ended June 30, 2013.
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 August 22, 2013, the
Company had sold approximately 2,000,000 shares, raising a total of
approximately $7,000,000. 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.
Based on our current cash reserves of $748,000 as of June 30, 2013, we have the
cash for an operational budget of six months. We have generated minimal and
sporadic revenues to date and such revenues were generated by properties we sold
on January 1, 2013. If we are unable to begin to generate enough revenue,
through our other subsidiaries, to cover our operational costs, we will need to
seek additional sources of funds. Currently, we have NO 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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, includes a "going concern"
explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.

EVENTS OR OTHERWISE.
-15-
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY
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. We did not recognize any revenues
during the six months ended June 30, 2013. 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 $748,000 as of
the date of this filing.
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 WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING FOR WHICH WE HAVE NO COMMITMENTS, AND THIS MAY
JEOPARDIZE EXECUTION OF 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. Our ultimate success depends upon our
ability to raise additional capital. We have not investigated the availability,
source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of additional capital and
will not do so until it determines a need for additional financing. If we need
additional capital, we have no assurance that funds will be available from any
source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to us. If
not available, our operations will be limited to those that can be financed with
our modest capital.
-16-
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 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 AND WARRANTS 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 June 30, 2013, we have options and warrants issued and outstanding
exercisable into 4,175,000 shares of our common stock at ranges from $0.10 to
$3.00 per share. The options and warrants are exercisable in whole or in part.
The exercise of the options and warrants 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
-17-
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
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. 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.
-18-
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 and well control and pollution risk insurance as appropriate. Should
we sustain a major 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.
-19-
RISKS RELATING TO OWNERSHIP OF THREE FORKS, INC. COMMON 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:
o Variations in our quarterly operating results;
o Loss of a key relationship or failure to complete significant
transactions;
o Additions or departures of key personnel; and
o 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
-20-
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:
-21-
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.
WE WILL BECOME A REPORTING COMPANY UPON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS REGISTRATION
STATEMENT
We will become subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, Section 13a, after the effectiveness of this offering,
pursuant to Section 15d of the Securities Act and we intend to be registered
under Section 12(g). As a result, stockholders will have access to the
information required to be reported by publicly held companies under the
Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder. As a result, we will be subject to
legal and accounting expenses that private companies are not subject to and this
could affect our ability to generate operating income.

MANAGEMENTS' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR UNAUDITED AND
AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO INCLUDED HEREIN.
THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, SUCH AS STATEMENTS RELATING
TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, PLANS, OBJECTIVES, FUTURE
PERFORMANCE AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS. THESE STATEMENTS RELATE TO EXPECTATIONS
CONCERNING MATTERS THAT ARE NOT HISTORICAL FACTS. THESE FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS REFLECT OUR CURRENT VIEWS AND EXPECTATIONS BASED LARGELY UPON THE
INFORMATION CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO US AND ARE SUBJECT TO INHERENT RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES. ALTHOUGH WE BELIEVE OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE BASED ON REASONABLE
ASSUMPTIONS, THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY
FROM THOSE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. BY MAKING
THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WE DO NOT UNDERTAKE TO UPDATE THEM IN ANY
MANNER EXCEPT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY OUR DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS IN FILINGS WE
MAKE WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES
LAWS. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM OUR FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS.
THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM'S REPORT ON OUR FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2013 AND DECEMBER 31, 2012 INCLUDES A "GOING CONCERN"
EXPLANATORY PARAGRAPH THAT DESCRIBES SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO
CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
We only began to recognize minimal revenues from our operations during the last
half of 2012. We have minimal capital, moderate cash. We are illiquid and need
cash infusions from investors or shareholders to provide capital, or loans from
any sources, none of which have been arranged nor assured.
------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
3rd Quarter 2013 o Filing of Form 10 Registration Statement
o Completion of the remaining 37.5 % of Five Jab
------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------
4th Quarter 2013 o Drill and complete 4-5 additional wells in Archer County;
o Drill and complete 2-3 additional wells in Oklahoma;
o 10-11 well workovers in Five Jab projects
------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
1st Quarter 2014 o Drill and complete 6-8 wells in new development areas
------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
2nd Quarter 2014 o Drill and complete 6-8 wells in new development areas
------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
Our Budget for operations in next year is as follows:
Working Capital $ 3,000,000
Drilling and Development of Five Jab Wells $ 1,500,000
Targeted Acquisition $ 7,000,000
Drilling and Development of the new areas $ 2,000,000
Fees, commissions and general expenses $ 1,500,000
-------------
$ 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
-23-
budget. We have recognized minimal revenues from our operational activities,
though none in the six months ended June 30, 2013.
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 August 22, 2013, the
Company had sold approximately 2,000,000 shares, raising a total of
approximately $7,000,000. 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.
Based on our current cash reserves of $748,000, at June 30, 2013, we have the
cash for an operational budget of six months. If we are unable to begin to
generate enough revenue, through our other subsidiaries, to cover our
operational costs, we will need to seek additional sources of funds. Currently,
we have NO 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.
Decisions regarding future participation in exploration wells or geophysical
studies or other activities will be made on a case-by-case basis. We may, in any
particular case, decide to participate or decline participation. If
participating, we may pay our proportionate share of costs to maintain our
proportionate interest through cash flow or debt or equity financing. If
participation is declined, we may elect to farmout, non-consent, sell or
otherwise negotiate a method of cost sharing in order to maintain some
continuing interest in the prospect.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 COMPARED TO THE PERIOD OF MARCH 28, 2012
(INCEPTION) THROUGH JUNE 30, 2012
During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the period of March 28, 2012
(inception) through June 30, 2012, we did not recognize any revenues from our
operational activities in the oil and gas industry. Management expects with the
acquisition of the Five Jab's interests on June 30, 2013, to begin to recognize
minimal revenues prior to the end of the year.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we incurred total operating expenses
of $943,353 compared to $220,063 during the period of March 28, 2012 (inception)
through June 30, 2012. The increase of $723,290 was primarily a result of a
$721,320 increase in general and administrative expenses, resulting in increases
in payroll due to the increase in staff, in professional fees and travel due to
due diligence in exploring possible acquisitions and regulatory requirements, in
consulting fees, marketing and rent due to growth of the company.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recognized a $149,478 in other
income. This was primarily due to a gain on the sale of our properties in Weld
County, Colorado in January 2013 in the amount of $127,478.
We recognized a net loss of $791,861 and $220,063, during the six months ended
June 30, 2013 and the period of March 28, 2012 (inception), respectively. The
increase of $571,798 was a result of the $723,290 increase in operating expenses
offset by the increase of $151,492 in other income.
FOR THE PERIOD OF MARCH 28, 2012 (INCEPTION) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2012
During the period of March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012, we
recognized revenues of $78,726 from our activities in the oil and gas industry.
Such revenues were a result of sales of 1,119 of BOE of oil and gas, at an
average price of $83 per barrel of oil and $3.50 per MCF. These revenues came
from our properties in Weld County, Colorado, which were sold in January 2013.
-24-
During the period of March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012, we
recognized total operating expenses of $1,062,450. Total operating expenses
consisted of $1,011,016 in general and administrative expenses, $42,971 in lease
operating expenses, $5,918 in depreciation and amortization and $2,545 in
production taxes. We expect such expenses to be increase during the full fiscal
year of 2013, as we continue to acquire and develop oil and gas projects and
make additions to staff.
We recognized a net loss of $981,287 during the period of March 28, 2012
(inception) through December 31, 2012.

SHORT TERM
On a short-term basis, we have not generated any revenue or revenues sufficient
to cover operations. Based on prior history, we will continue to have
insufficient revenue to satisfy current and recurring liabilities as the Company
continues exploration activities.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have only common stock as our capital resource.
We have no material commitments for capital expenditures within the next year,
however if operations are commenced, substantial capital will be needed to pay
for participation, investigation, exploration, acquisition and working capital.
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
We do not have capital sufficient to meet our cash needs. We will have to seek
loans or equity placements to cover such cash needs. Once exploration commences,
our needs for additional financing is likely to increase substantially.
No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by our management or
other stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional
funds will be available to us to allow us to cover our expenses as they may be
incurred.
-26-
We will need substantial additional capital to support our proposed future
energy operations. We have MINIMAL revenues. We have NO committed source for any
funds as of the date hereof. No representation is made that any funds will be
available when needed. In the event funds cannot be raised when needed, we may
not be able to carry out our business plan, may never achieve sales or royalty
income, and could fail in business as a result of these uncertainties.
Decisions regarding future participation in exploration wells or geophysical
studies or other activities will be made on a case-by-case basis. We may, in any
particular case, decide to participate or decline participation. If
participating, we may pay its proportionate share of costs to maintain our
proportionate interest through cash flow or debt or equity financing. If
participation is declined, we may elect to farmout, non-consent, sell or
otherwise negotiate a method of cost sharing in order to maintain some
continuing interest in the prospect.
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
us could be adversely affected. Based on the management's assessment, there is
no reserve recorded at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We recognizes revenue from the exploration and production of our oil and gas
properties in the period of production.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
We follow 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. 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. There were capitalized costs of
$1,972,532 and $0 included in the amortization base at June 30, 2013 and
December 31, 2012, respectively and we did not expense any capitalized costs for
the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and for the period March 28, 2012
(inception) through December 31, 2012.
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. We have not capitalized any internal costs for the six months ended
June 30, 2013 and 2012 and for the period March 28, 2012 (inception) through
December 31, 2012.
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
-27-
occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and for the period
March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012 that would be indicative of
possible impairment.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
We account 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.

of beneficial ownership of securities. That rule provides that a beneficial
owner of a security includes any person who directly or indirectly has or shares
voting power and/or investment power with respect to such security. Rule 13d-3
also provides that a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who has
the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within sixty days,
including through the exercise of any option, warrant or conversion of a
security. Any securities not outstanding which are subject to such options,
warrants or conversion privileges are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose
of computing the percentage of outstanding securities of the class owned by such
person. Those securities are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of
computing the percentage of the class owned by any other person. Included in
this table are only those derivative securities with exercise prices that we
believe have a reasonable likelihood of being "in the money" within the next

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 5 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
-33-
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.
ANNUAL MEETING
Our annual meeting of stockholders is expected to be held at a future date as
soon as practicable after the filing of this Form 10. This will be an annual
meeting of stockholders for the election of directors. The annual meeting will
be held at our principal office or at such other place as permitted by the laws
of the State of Colorado and on such date as may be fixed from time to time by
resolution of our board of directors.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
We are managed under the direction of our board of directors.
The board of directors has no nominating, auditing committee or a compensation
committee. Therefore, the selection of person or election to the board of
directors was neither independently made nor negotiated at arm's length.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
The members of the Board of Directors serve as our executive committee.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The members of the Board of Directors serve as our audit committee and as such
our audit committee is not considered to have independent members or to be
independent.
PREVIOUS "BLANK CHECK" OR "SHELL" COMPANY INVOLVEMENT
Mr. Nichols, the Chairman of our Board has been involved in prior "shell"
companies - Gulfstar Energy Corporation and General Environmental Corporation.
Mr. Walford, an officer and director of the Company, has had prior involvement
in a shell company - Gulfstar Energy Corporation. No other members of our
management have been involved in private "blank-check" or "shell" companies

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
We are a Colorado corporation. The Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS) provides that
the articles of incorporation of a Colorado corporation may contain a provision
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation
or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except that any such provision may not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the corporation or our stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) acts
specified in Section 78 (concerning unlawful distributions), or (iv) any
transaction from which a director directly or indirectly derived an improper
personal benefit. Our articles of incorporation contain a provision eliminating
-37-
the personal liability of directors to our company' or our stockholders for
monetary damages to the fullest extent provided by the CRS.
The CRS provides that a Colorado corporation must indemnify a person who was
wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any threatened,
pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal (a
"Proceeding"), in which he or she was a party because the person is or was a
director, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection with
the Proceeding, unless such indemnity is limited by the corporation's articles
of incorporation. Our articles of incorporation do not contain any such
limitation.
The CRS provides that a Colorado corporation may indemnify a person made a party
to a Proceeding because the person is or was a director against any obligation
incurred with respect to a Proceeding to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty,
fine (including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan)
or reasonable expenses incurred in the Proceeding if the person conducted
himself or herself in good faith and the person reasonably believed, in the case
of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that the person's
conduct was in the corporation's best interests and, in all other cases, his or
her conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests and,
with respect to any criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Our articles of incorporation and
bylaws allow for such indemnification. A corporation may not indemnify a
director in connection with any Proceeding by or in the right of the corporation
in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or, in connection
with any other Proceeding charging that the director derived an improper
personal benefit, whether or not involving actions in an official capacity, in
which Proceeding the director was judged liable on the basis that he or she
derived an improper personal benefit. Any indemnification permitted in
connection with a Proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Proceeding.
The CRS, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, a Colorado
corporation may indemnify an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the
corporation to the same extent as a director and may indemnify such a person who
is not a director to a greater extent, if not inconsistent with public policy
and if provided for by our bylaws, general or specific action of our board of
directors or stockholders, or contract. Our articles of incorporation provide
for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries and
agents to the full extent permitted by Colorado law.
Our articles of incorporation also provide that we may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of our
company or who is or was serving at our request as a director, officer or agent
of another enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and
incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status
as such, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify him or her against
such liability.
EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION
KEY EMPLOYEES STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
Effective May 1, 2013, our Stock Option and Award Plan (the "Stock Incentive
Plan") was approved by our Board of Directors. Under the Stock Incentive Plan,
the Board of Directors may grant options or purchase rights to purchase common
stock to officers, employees, and other persons who provide services to us or
any related company. The participants to whom awards are granted, the type of
awards granted, the number of shares covered for each award, and the purchase or
exercise price, conditions and other terms of each award are determined by the
Board of Directors, except that the term of the options shall not exceed 10

ITEM 8. 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 the filing of this Form 10, we are not a party to any pending
-40-
legal proceedings, nor are we aware of any civil proceeding or government
authority contemplating any legal proceeding.
ITEM 9. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S 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 STOCKHOLDERS' 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 August 28, 2013, we have approximately 450 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.

ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
----------------------------------------------------------------
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 11,396,494 common shares are
deemed issued and outstanding as of August 28, 2013.
All shares, when issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable. All shares are
equal to each other with respect to voting, liquidation, and dividend rights.
Special Stockholders' meetings may be called by our Officers or Directors, 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 Stockholders' meeting
for each share they own as of the record date set by our Board of Directors.
There is no quorum requirement for Stockholders' 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 our 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 Stockholders. There is 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 Stockholders 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 Stock
We are presently authorized to issue twenty-five million (25,000,000) preferred

ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
--------------------------------------------------
Under our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, we may indemnify an officer or
director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of
his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in our best interest. No officer or director may be may be indemnified,
however, where the officer or director acted committed intentional misconduct,
fraud, or an intentional violation of the law.
We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that
the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which
he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred,
including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be
made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the
proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court
order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by
the laws of the State of Colorado.
Regarding the indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, which may be permitted to officers and directors under Colorado law, we
are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities is asserted by our officer(s), director(s), or controlling
person(s) in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in
the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public
policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the
court's decision.

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, 2012 and the related statement of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for 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, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for 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.

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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 has a
balance of $55,122 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 - Property 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 3% of the
working interest in the Farmout to three members of the Board of Directors of
the Company.
Effective June 30, 2013, the Company acquired a 37.5% working interest in
certain oil and gas properties located in Louisiana and Texas totaling
approximately 1955.41 gross acres in exchange for $1,900,000 in cash as part of
a purchase sale and participation agreement dated February 27, 2013 to acquire a
total of 75% working interest in the properties as well as participate in a
development program that includes the drilling and completion of additional
wells. This acquisition is subject to a reversionary event whereby the Company
must acquire on September 1, 2013, the remaining 37.5% of the working interest
in the properties for $1,900,000 in cash or the Company must revert back to the
Seller the 37.5% working interest acquired effective June 30, 2013.
The Company's acquisition of the 37.5% 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.
The Company has adopted ASC guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by
F-7
THREE FORKS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2013 AND DECEMBER 31, 2012
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 June 30, 2013 and December 31,
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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding
4,175,000 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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 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.
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
F-8
THREE FORKS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2013 AND DECEMBER 31, 2012
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. There were capitalized costs of
$1,972,532 and $0 included in the amortization base at June 30, 2013 and
December 31, 2012, respectively and the Company did not expense any capitalized
costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and for the period March 28, 2012
(inception) through June 30, 2012 and for the period March 28, 2012 (inception)
through December 31, 2012.
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 six
months ended June 30, 2013 and for the period March 28, 2012 (inception) through
June 30, 2012 and for the period March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31,
2012.
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 six months ended June 30, 2013 and for the period March 28,
2012 through June 20, 2012 and for the period March 28, 2012 (inception) through
December 31, 2012 that would be indicative of possible impairment.
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 as the related proved reserves are produced.
Depreciation and amortization of oil and gas property and other property and
equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and for the period March 28,
2012 (inception) through June 30, 2012 is $1,970 and $0, respectively and $5,918
for the period March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012.
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 June 30,
2013, the Company has reported an accumulated deficit of $1,773,148. At June 30,
2013, the Company has current assets of $948,782, including cash and cash
equivalents of $741,728 and current liabilities of $614,726 but has sold its
major proved oil and gas property as described in Note 4 and has committed to a
payment of $1,900,000 on September 1, 2013 as described more fully in Notes 1
and 5.
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.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluates events and transactions after the balance sheet date but
before the financial statements are issued.

NOTE 12 - 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.
PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES. Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated
quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological
and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in
future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating
conditions; i.e., prices using the 12-month historical first of month average
and costs as of the date the estimate was made for all periods presented. Prices
include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual
arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future conditions.
(i) Reservoirs are considered proved if economic producability is
supported by either actual production or conclusive formation test. The area of
a reservoir considered proved includes (A) that portion delineated by drilling
and defined by gas-oil and/or oil-water contacts, if any; and (B) the
immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which can be reasonably
judged as economically productive on the basis of available geological and
F-15
THREE FORKS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2013 AND DECEMBER 31, 2012
engineering data. In the absence of information on fluid contacts, the lowest
known structural occurrence of hydrocarbons controls the lower proved limit of
the reservoir.
(ii) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of
improved recovery techniques (such as fluid injection) are included in the
"proved" classification when successful testing by a pilot project, or the
operation of an installed program in the reservoir, provides support for the
engineering analysis on which the project or program was based.
(iii) Estimates of proved reserves do not include the following: (A) oil
that may become available from known reservoirs but is classified separately as
"indicated additional reserves;" (B) crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas
liquids, the recovery of which is subject to reasonable doubt because of
uncertainty as to geology, reservoir characteristics, or economic factors; (C)
crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids that may occur in underlaid
prospects; and (D) crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids that may be
recovered from oil shales, coal, gilsonite and other such sources.
Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be
recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.
Additional oil and gas expected to be obtained through the application of fluid
injection or other improved recovery techniques for supplementing the natural
forces and mechanisms of primary recovery should be included as "proved
developed reserves" only after testing by a pilot project or after the operation
of an installed program has confirmed through production response that increased
recovery will be achieved.
Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are 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 drilling units offsetting productive units
that are reasonably certain of production when drilled. Proved reserves for
other undrilled units can be claimed only where it can be demonstrated with
certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing productive
formation. Under no circumstances should estimates for proved 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 tests in the area and in the
same reservoir.
"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 June30, 2013 were prepared by the Company using the estimates of the
Company's crude oil and natural gas reserves and present values at December 31,
2012 prepared by Ralph E. Davis Associates, Inc., independent reserve engineers,
and rolled forward for oil and gas operations and activity incurred by 5 Jab
Inc. during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
ESTIMATED QUANTITIES OF PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES
Estimated quantities of proved crude oil and natural gas reserves at June 30,
2013 and December 31, 2012 and changes in the reserves during the periods are

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 Five Jab, Inc., as of December 31,
2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
---------------------------------------------------
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION
Five Jab, Inc. (the "Operator") is a company engaged as an operator of certain
oil and gas leases located in the states of Texas and Louisiana. These leases
are proved leaseholds only and include 10 producing crude oil wells and one well
that also produced natural gas (the "Properties"). In addition, all of the wells
were purchased by the working interest owners of the Properties and therefore
there are no drilling costs associated with these wells.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In June 2013, Three Forks , Inc., an oil and gas exploration and production
company incorporated in Colorado on March 28, 2012, (the "Company") acquired a
thirty-seven and half percent (37.5%) working interest in the Properties in
exchange for cash of $1,900,000 and in a binding agreement agreed to acquire on
or about September 1, 2013 an additional thirty-seven and half percent (37.5%)
working interest in the Properties in exchange for cash of $1,900,000 for a
total of seventy-five percent (75.0%) working interest.
The accompanying statements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at June
30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the statements of revenues and direct
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the years ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011 were prepared from the historical records maintained
by the Operator on behalf of the working interest owners of the Properties.
These statements are not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial
condition and results of operations of the Properties. The statements do not
include general and administrative expense, any provision for income tax expense
and other income and expense items not directly associated with revenues from
the Properties. Historical financial statements reflecting financial position,
results of operations and cash flows required by United States of America
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") are not presented as such
information is not readily available and not meaningful to the Investors.
Accordingly, the accompanying statements of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed and statements of revenues and direct expenses are presented in lieu of
full financial statements.
Also, the Company was not able to obtain from the Operator any capitalized costs
associated with the proved leaseholds as such information was not readily
available and thus the accompanying statements do not include such financial
information.
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
F-25
FIVE JAB, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2013 AND
DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011
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.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
The Operator accounts for the owners' 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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Depletion and amortization of capitalized acquisition, exploration and
development costs are computed on the units-of-production method by property 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
F-26
FIVE JAB, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2013 AND
DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011
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
June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were
$66,828 and $30,166 and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were
$60,332 and $6,163, respectively.
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 six months
ended June 30, 2013 and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

the statements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the statements of
revenues and direct expenses were available to be issued, and has concluded no
events need to be reported.

NOTE 2 - 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.
PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES. Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated
quantities of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological
and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in
future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating
conditions; i.e., prices using the 12-month historical first of month average
and costs as of the date the estimate was made for all periods presented. Prices
include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual
arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future conditions.
(i) Reservoirs are considered proved if economic producability is
supported by either actual production or conclusive formation test. The area of
a reservoir considered proved includes (A) that portion delineated by drilling
and defined by gas-oil and/or oil-water contacts, if any; and (B) the
immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which can be reasonably
judged as economically productive on the basis of available geological and
engineering data. In the absence of information on fluid contacts, the lowest
known structural occurrence of hydrocarbons controls the lower proved limit of
the reservoir.
(ii) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of
improved recovery techniques (such as fluid injection) are included in the
"proved" classification when successful testing by a pilot project, or the
operation of an installed program in the reservoir, provides support for the
engineering analysis on which the project or program was based.
(iii) Estimates of proved reserves do not include the following: (A) oil
that may become available from known reservoirs but is classified separately as
"indicated additional reserves;" (B) crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas
liquids, the recovery of which is subject to reasonable doubt because of
uncertainty as to geology, reservoir characteristics, or economic factors; (C)
crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids that may occur in underlaid
prospects; and (D) crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids that may be
recovered from oil shales, coal, gilsonite and other such sources.
Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to be
recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.
Additional oil and gas expected to be obtained through the application of fluid
F-28
FIVE JAB, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2013 AND
DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011
injection or other improved recovery techniques for supplementing the natural
forces and mechanisms of primary recovery should be included as "proved
developed reserves" only after testing by a pilot project or after the operation
of an installed program has confirmed through production response that increased
recovery will be achieved.
Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are 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 drilling units offsetting productive units
that are reasonably certain of production when drilled. Proved reserves for
other undrilled units can be claimed only where it can be demonstrated with
certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing productive
formation. Under no circumstances should estimates for proved 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 tests in the area and in the
same reservoir.
"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 Properties crude oil and natural gas reserves and present
values at June30, 2013 were prepared by the Company using the estimates of the
Properties crude oil and natural gas reserves and present values at December 31,
2012 prepared by Ralph E. Davis Associates, Inc., independent reserve engineers,
and rolled forward for oil and gas operations and activity incurred during the
six months ended June 30, 2013. Likewise, estimated of the Properties crude oil
and natural gas reserves and present values at December 31, 2011 were prepared
by the Company using the December 31, 2012 information and rolled back for oil
and gas operations and activity incurred during the year ended December 31,
2011.
ESTIMATED QUANTITIES OF PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES
Estimated quantities of proved crude oil and natural gas reserves at June 30,
2013 and December 31, 2012 and changes in the reserves during the periods are
shown below (in thousands). These reserve estimates have been prepared in
compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations using the average
price during the 12-month period, determined as an unweighted average of the
first-day-of-the-month for each month.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF
JUNE 30, 2013 AND DECEMBER 31, 2012
F-32
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATMENTS UNDER RULE 8-03(b)(4) OF
REGULATION S-X
Effective June 30, 2013, the Company acquired a 37.5% working interest in
certain oil and gas properties located in Louisiana and Texas totaling
approximately 1955.41 gross acres in exchange for $1,900,000 in cash as part of
a purchase sale and participation agreement dated February 27, 2013 to acquire a
total of 75% working interest in the properties as well as participate in a
development program that includes the drilling and completion of additional
wells. This acquisition is subject to a reversionary event whereby the Company
must acquire on September 1, 2013, the remaining 37.5% of the working interest
in the properties for $1,900,000 in cash plus a dollar amount of nominal
adjustments at closing or the Company must revert back to the Seller the 37.5%
working interest acquired effective June 30, 2013 and therefore, the Company
deems this acquistion of September 1, 2013 as probable in accordance with
DCF-FRM 2005.4.
The Company's acquisition of the working interest in the oil and gas properties
was accounted for as an acquisition for accounting purposes.
The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet gives effect to the
acquisition of the 37.5% of oil and gas working interests on September 1, 2013
as if it had been consummated on June 30, 2013.
The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Operations for the
six months ended June 30, 2013 gives effect to the acquisition as if it had been
consummated for the current interim period as though the transaction occurred at
the beginning of the period.
The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Operations for the
year ended December 31, 2012 gives effect to the acquisition as though the
transaction occurred at January 1, 2012. The historical information of the
Company reflects the period March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31,
2012. Therefore, since the Company's operations are for a period greater than 9
months then the Company can rely on the guidance in Rule 3-06 of Regulation S-X
to satisfy the requirement to present a pro forma statement of operations for
the most recent fiscal year. As such, the accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes
in the Pro Forma Adjustments the acquired operations of the 75% working interest
for the similar period of March 28, 2012 through December 31, 2012.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements of the Company. The Unaudited Pro Forma
Financial Statements do not purport to be indicative of the financial position
or results of operations that would have actually been obtained had such
transactions been completed as of the assumed dates and for the period
presented, or which may be obtained in the future. The Pro Forma adjustments are
described in the accompanying notes and are based upon available information and
certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable.

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).
-53-
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 1/4 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 ("NRI"). 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 Developed Reserves. The reserves which can be expected to be
recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.
Such reserves include the reserves which are expected to be produced from the
existing completion interval(s) now open for production in existing wells and in
addition to those reserves which exist behind the casing (pipe) of existing
wells, or at minor depths below the present bottom of such wells, which are
expected to be produced through these wells in the predictable future where the
cost of making such oil and gas available for production is relatively small
compared to the cost of drilling a new well.
Proved Undeveloped Reserves. Proved reserves which are expected to be
recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a
relatively major expenditure is required for a recompletion. Reserves on
undrilled acreage are limited to those drilling tracts offsetting productive
units which are reasonable certain of production when drilled. Proved reserves
for other undrilled tracts are claimed only where it can be demonstrated with
certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing productive
formation.
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.
-54-
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 ("WI"). 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
