Our
Business
The
Company was incorporated in Nevada in June 2007 as a development stage company which planned to operate as a restaurant holding
company, specializing in the development and expansion of proven independent restaurant concepts into multi-unit locations through
corporate-owned stores, licensing, and franchising opportunities, funding permitting. In connection with our entry into and the
closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement with Petron Energy Special Corp. (“Petron Special”), described below, we changed
our business focus to oil and gas exploration and production and related operations and ceased undertaking any restaurant related
operations.
Acquisition
of Company by Petron Energy Special Corp.
On
August 9, 2011, David Cho, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer and Director and then 54.4% owner of the Company’s
common stock (550,000,000 shares or 5,500,000 pre-forward split shares); Pete Wainscott, the Company’s then Director and
then 34.6% owner of the Company’s common stock (350,000,000 shares or 3,500,000 pre-forward split shares); and David M.
Loev the then 9.9% owner of the Company’s common stock (100,000,000 shares, or 1,000,000 pre-forward split shares) (collectively
the “Selling Shareholders”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Petron Special. Pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Agreement, the Selling Shareholders sold an aggregate of 1,000,000,000 shares (10,000,000 pre-forward split) shares of
the Company’s restricted common stock to Petron Special in consideration for $232,750 (the “Purchase Price”);
provided that a required term and condition of the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement was that the Company had no liabilities
at closing. As such, a portion of the Purchase Price was used to satisfy the Company’s outstanding liabilities. As a result
of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Petron Special, and Mr. Floyd Smith (“Mr. Smith”) through his control of Petron Special,
became the owner of 98.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares.
Further,
on August 12, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Petron Special (“Petron Asset Purchase Agreement”).
Under the Petron Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase substantially all of Petron Special’s assets (which
consist of various oil and gas interests, leases and working interests and equipment, collectively, the “Assets”)
and in consideration for 60,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock (the “Company Shares”). The
60,000,000 common shares were later adjusted to 78,511,478. The 78,511,478 shares were exchanged for all the preferred and common
shares outstanding of Petron Special. The Petron Asset Purchase Agreement also required Petron Special to indemnify the Company
from any liability associated with the Assets for actions which took place prior to the closing and for the Company to indemnify
Petron Special against any liability associated with the Assets due to actions which may take place after the closing. The Petron
Asset Purchase Agreement also includes a “non-compete provision,” which prohibits Petron Special and Floyd L. Smith
from competing against the Company for a period of twelve (12) months from the closing of the Petron Asset Purchase Agreement.
Additionally, the Petron Asset Purchase Agreement required that the Company agree to commit a minimum of $5,000 and 2,000,000
shares (20,000 pre-forward split shares) of common stock per month to investor relations services following the closing; and allowed
the Company to enter into employment agreements with certain employees of Petron Special (provided that no such employment agreements,
other than the Executive Employment Agreement with Mr. Smith have been entered into or agreed to, to date).
Assumption
of Petron Special’s Agreement with ONE Energy Corp.
On
August 8, 2011, Petron Special entered into an Asset Acquisition Agreement with ONE Energy Capital Corp., ONE Energy International
Corp. and their affiliated parties (the “One Energy Asset Acquisition Agreement”). Pursuant to the One Energy Asset
Acquisition Agreement, Petron Special agreed to acquire the assets of ONE Energy Capital Corp., ONE Energy International Corp.
and their affiliated parties in aggregate consideration for shares of convertible preferred stock, contingent upon the mutual
agreement of final closing agreements. The final closing agreements were consummated on February 9, 2012, as elaborated in greater
detail below. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition of the Company by Petron Special, the Company assumed Petron Special’s
rights and obligations under the One Energy Asset Acquisition Agreement.
Plan
of Reorganization and Asset Purchase Agreement with ONE Energy Corp. and Acquisition of Knox County Leases
On
February 9, 2012, the Company entered into the “Plan of Reorganization and Asset Purchase Agreement” with ONE Energy
International Corp, (“OEI”) a Nevada Corporation, and its Affiliate Companies, which was intended to represent the
final closing definitive agreement contemplated by the One Energy Asset Acquisition Agreement described above. Under
the terms of the Plan of Reorganization and Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all of the owned by assets of OEI and
its affiliates in exchange for 5,910,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series
B Preferred Stock”). The Series B Preferred Stock were scheduled to convert into common stock shares of the Company having
a total value of $5,910,000, based on the average trading price of the Company’s common stock on the five trading days prior
to the Conversion Date, which was on January 7, 2013. The Series B Preferred Stock vote one-for-one with the common stock shares
of the Company and cannot be converted by the holders thereof if such conversion would result in the acquisition by such holder
of more than 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. It is also anticipated that the shareholders receiving
the Series B Preferred Stock described also received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock with an exercise price of $0.08 per share.
Pursuant
to the Plan of Reorganization and Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company received interests in the Knox County Leases in the State
of Texas, which are described in greater detail below.
Acquisition
of Wagoner County Leases
On
September 28, 2011, the Company entered into two Oil and Gas Leases and obtained rights to conduct oil and gas exploration and
production activities on an aggregate of 320 acres (160 acres pursuant to each lease) located in Wagoner County, Oklahoma (the
“Wagoner County Leases”). Pursuant to the lease agreements, we agreed to pay the lessees under each of the
leases total consideration for such lease rights consisting of $10 at the time of the entry into the agreements and (a) 3/16th
of all oil produced from the leased property; (b) 3/16th of all gas of whatever nature or kind produced or sold from the leased
property; (c) 3/16th of the gross proceeds, from the mouth of the well, of any gas produced from any oil well and used to manufacture
gasoline; and (d) certain other nominal fees, during the period any well is shut-in. The leases have a term of one (1) year, provided
that they continue in effect thereafter for so long as oil or gas is produced on such leases by the Company, if any.
On
January 6, 2012, the Company filed “Form 10 Type Information” on Form 8-K reflecting the fact that based on the foregoing
and the current plan of operations that the Company, as of August 2011, ceased to be a “shell company” as that term
is defined pursuant to Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933.

RISK
FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment in us. The risks and uncertainties
described below are not the only ones facing us, and there may be additional risks that we do not presently know of or that we
presently consider immaterial. All of these risks may impair our business operations. If any of the following
risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In
such case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risk
Factors.
Investing
in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below,
together with all of the other information included or referred to in this Form S-8, before purchasing shares of our common stock.
There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. The risks described below
are not the only risks we will face. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations
may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors in our common
stock could lose all or part of their investment. The risks and uncertainties described below are not exclusive and are intended
to reflect the material risks that are specific to us , material risks related to our industry and material risks related to companies
that undertake a public offering or seek to maintain a class of securities that is registered or traded on any exchange or over-the-counter
market.
There
are numerous risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals including, but not limited to, those described
below. Additional unknown risks may also impair our financial performance and business operations. Our business, financial condition
and/or results of operations may be materially adversely affected by the nature and impact of these risks. In such case, the market
value of our securities could be detrimentally affected, and investors may lose part or all of their investment. Please refer
to the information contained under the section entitled “Description of the Business” of this report for further details
pertaining to our business and financial condition.
General
Risks Related To the Company
We
May Not Be Able To Continue Our Business Plan Without Additional Financing.
We
will need to raise significant funding in the future, including approximately $2.5 million to continue our operations for the
next 12 months and approximately $10 million in additional funding to expand our operations and acquire additional properties.
In August 2011, the Company sold an aggregate of 6,462,900 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock to twelve “accredited
investors” in private transactions for aggregate consideration of $387,774 or $0.06 per share in a private placement. In
September and October 2011, the Company sold an aggregate of 4,333,300 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock to
nine “accredited investors” in private transactions for aggregate consideration of $259,998 or $0.06 per share. During
the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company sold an aggregate of 717,175 (post-split) shares of the Company’s restricted
common stock to 43 “accredited investors” in private transactions for aggregate consideration of $838,326.
In April of 2013 the Company secured a $5 million revolving line of credit.
Moving
forward we plan to rely on financing and additional funds from current investors of the Company and third party investors in order
to support our operations and pay our expenses. Additional funding will likely come from debt and/or equity financing from the
sale of our common stock. If we are successful in completing an equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution
of their interest in our Company. There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or
any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations,
then we will not be able to continue our business operations. If we are unable to raise the funds we require, your investment
could become worthless.
Shareholders
May Be Diluted Significantly Through Our Efforts To Obtain Financing, Satisfy Obligations And/or Complete Acquisitions Through
The Issuance Of Additional Shares Of Our Common Stock Or Other Securities.
Wherever
possible, our Board of Directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy the Company’s obligations. In many
instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock or other securities
(including the shares of convertible preferred stock that we have agreed to issue to shareholders of ONE Energy Capital Corp.,
ONE Energy International Corp. and their affiliated parties in connection with the Asset Acquisition Agreement described above).
Additionally, moving forward, we may attempt to conduct acquisitions and/or mergers of other entities or assets using our common
stock or other securities as payment for such transactions. Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the
shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock with various preferences
and other rights. If such transactions occur, this may result in substantial dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders,
and dilute the book value of the Company’s common stock.
We
Are Party to a Plan of Reorganization and Asset Purchase Agreement Pursuant to Which We Paid Significant Consideration For The
Acquisition Of Certain Oil And Gas Assets, Which Consideration Caused Substantial Dilution To Our Existing Shareholders and May
Cause Dilution in the Future.
Pursuant
to the Plan of Reorganization and Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire the assets of ONE Energy Capital Corp.,
ONE Energy International Corp. and their affiliated parties in aggregate consideration for 5,910,00 shares of the Company’s
Series B Convertible Preferred stock. Under the Plan of Reorganization and Asset Purchase Agreement, these shares of Series B
Convertible preferred stock convert into common shares of the Company having a total value of $5,910,000, based on the average
trading price of the Company’s common stock on the five days prior to the date of conversion; vote one-for-one with the
common shares; cannot be converted by the holders thereof if such conversion would result in the acquisition by such holder of
more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding stock (the “Ownership Limitation”). 4,189,542 shares of the Series
B Convertible stock have been converted into an aggregate of 19,255,145 shares of the common stock of the Company. At May 13,
2013, we had 1,720,458 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding which had not converted because of
the Ownership Limitation. The shareholders receiving the convertible preferred stock described above also received warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 (post-split) shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.08 per
share.
Our
Chief Executive Officer, Floyd L. Smith, Holds Series A Preferred Stock Which Will Provide Him Continuing Voting Control Over
the Company, And As A Result, He Will Exercise Significant Control Over Corporate Decisions.
Floyd
L. Smith, our President and Director, has beneficial ownership of the entire class of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock,
which voting together as a class, have the right to vote 51% of the Company’s voting shares on any and all shareholder matters.
Additionally, the Company shall not adopt any amendments to the Company's Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, as amended, make
any changes to the Certificate of Designations establishing the Series A Preferred Stock, or effect any reclassification of the
Series A Preferred Stock, without the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
However, the Company may, by any means authorized by law and without any vote of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
make technical, corrective, administrative or similar changes to such Certificate of Designations that do not, individually or
in the aggregate, adversely affect the rights or preferences of the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
The
Series A Preferred Stock also includes a provision which provides that in the event that Mr. Smith dies or becomes disabled within
eighteen months of the issuance date of the Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Smith, that ASL Energy Corp. and or its assigns shall
have the right, with 61 days prior written notice to the Company to assume the ownership of and/or the rights associated with
such shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Assignment Rights”). Other than the Super Majority Voting
Rights, the Series A Preferred Stock does not have any other dividend, liquidation, conversion, or redemption rights, whatsoever.
As
a result of the above, Mr. Smith exercises control in determining the outcome of corporate transactions or other matters, including
the election of directors, mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to
prevent or cause a change in control. Any investors who purchase shares will be minority shareholders and as such will have no
say in the direction of the Company and the election of Directors. Investors in the Company should keep in mind that even if you
own shares of the Company's common stock and wish to vote them at annual or special shareholder meetings, your shares will have
no effect on the outcome of corporate decisions or the election of Directors. Furthermore, investors should be aware that Mr.
Smith may choose to elect new Directors to the Board of Directors of the Company and/or take the Company in a new business direction
altogether, and, as a result, current shareholders of the Company will have little to no say in such matters.
Shareholders
Who Hold Unregistered Shares Of Our Common Stock Are Subject To Resale Restrictions Pursuant To Rule 144, Due To Our Previous
Status As A “Shell Company.”
Pursuant
to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“ Rule 144 ”), a “ shell company”
is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations; and, either no or nominal assets; assets consisting solely of cash
and cash equivalents; or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. As such, prior
to the completion of the Asset Purchase Agreement and our related Form 8-K filing, we had been considered a “ shell company”
pursuant to Rule 144, and as such, sales of our securities pursuant to Rule 144 were not able to be made until: 1) we had ceased
to be a “ shell company,” which occurred after the closing the Asset Purchase Agreement); 2) we are subject
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and have filed all of our required periodic reports
for at least the previous one year period prior to any sale pursuant to Rule 144; and a period of at least twelve months has elapsed
from that date. “Form 10 information” has been filed with the Commission reflecting the Company’s status
as a “non-shell company,” incorporated by reference as filed with the Commission on Form 8-K on January 6,
2012.
Pursuant
to Rule 144, a one year waiting period from the time of filing was required to “cure” the Company’s previous
“shell” status. Our “shell” status was thus cured on January 6, 2013 and shareholders of the Company who
hold and purchase in the future any restricted securities of the Company will have Rule 144 available if all other requirements
of the rule are met.
We
Rely Upon Key Personnel And If They Leave Us, Our Business Plan And Results Of Operations Could Be Adversely Affected.
We
rely heavily on our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Floyd L. Smith (“Mr. Smith”). His experience and input creates
the foundation for our business and he is responsible for the directorship and control over our operations. We do currently have
an employment agreement with Mr. Smith (as described above), and we put into place a "key man" insurance policy
on Mr. Smith in the amount of $3,000,000. Moving forward, should we lose the services of Mr. Smith, for any reason, we will incur
costs associated with recruiting a replacement and delays in our operations. If we are unable to replace Mr. Smith with another
suitably trained individual or individuals, we may be forced to scale back or curtail our business plan. As a result of this,
your investment in us could become devalued or worthless and we may be forced to abandon or change our business plan.
Our
Management Lacks Experience In and With Publicly-Traded Companies.
While
we rely heavily on Floyd L. Smith, our Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director
and our other Director, David Knepper, they have no experience serving as an officer or Director of a publicly-traded company,
or experience with the reporting requirements which public companies are subject to. Consequently, our operations, earnings and
ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to their ultimate lack of experience with publicly-traded companies
in general.
Our
Insurance Coverage May Be Inadequate To Insure Against All Material Risks.
Moving
forward, we plan to acquire insurance against some, but not all of the potential risks and losses our operations are subject to.
There can be no assurance that insurance obtained by us will be adequate to and/or in sufficient amounts necessary to cover all
losses or liabilities. The occurrence of a significant event, not fully insured or indemnified against, could have materially
adverse effects on our financial condition and operations, which could lead to any investment in the Company becoming worthless.
We
May Not Be Able To Successfully Manage Our Growth, Which Could Lead To Our Inability To Implement Our Business Plan.
Our
growth is expected to place a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources, especially considering
that we currently only have two Directors and one executive officer. Further, as we enter into additional contracts, we will be
required to manage multiple relationships with various consultants, businesses and other third parties. These requirements will
be exacerbated in the event of our further growth. There can be no assurance that our systems, procedures and/or controls will
be adequate to support our operations or that our management will be able to achieve the rapid execution necessary to successfully
implement our business plan. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business, results of operations and financial
condition will be adversely affected, which could lead to us being forced to abandon or curtail our business plan and operations.
We
Have A Limited Operating History In Our Current Business Focus Of Oil And Gas Production And Because Of This It May Be Difficult
To Evaluate Our Chances For Success.
We
were formed in August 1, 2008 as a company specializing in restaurant consulting and investment activities; provided that we only
generated limited revenues in connection with such operations, and changed our business focus to oil and gas exploration activities
in connection with our acquisition by Petron Special in August 2011 (described above). As such, we have a limited history in our
current business focus of oil and gas exploration. We are a relatively new company and, as such, run a risk of not being able
to compete in the marketplace because of our relatively short existence. New companies in the competitive environment of oil and
gas exploration may face significant competition, and as a result, we may be forced to abandon or curtail our business plan. Under
such a circumstance, the value of any investment in us may become worthless.
We
Incur Significant Increased Costs As A Result Of Operating As A Fully Reporting Company As Well As In Connection With Section
404 Of The Sarbanes Oxley Act.
We
incur legal, accounting and other expenses in connection with our status as a fully reporting public company. The Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 (the " Sarbanes-Oxley Act ") and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have imposed various requirements
on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. As such, our management and other personnel
need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations increase our
legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires,
among other things, that we maintain effective internal controls for financial reporting and disclosure of controls and procedures.
In particular, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal controls over financial reporting to
allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Our testing may reveal deficiencies
in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses. Our compliance with Section 404 and
our continued status as a publicly reporting company will require that we incur substantial accounting, legal and filing expenses
and expend significant management efforts. We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we may need to hire additional
accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. Moreover, if we
are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, the market price of our stock could decline, and
we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional
financial and management resources.
Our
Articles Of Incorporation, As Amended, And Bylaws Limit The Liability Of, And Provide Indemnification For, Our Officers And Directors.
Our
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, generally limit our officers' and Directors' personal liability to the Company and its
stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer or Director except for breach of the duty of loyalty or acts or omissions
not made in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. Our Articles of Incorporation, as
amended, and Bylaws provide indemnification for our officers and Directors to the fullest extent authorized by the Nevada General
Corporation Law against all expense, liability, and loss, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines excise taxes or penalties
and amounts to be paid in settlement reasonably incurred or suffered by an officer or Director in connection with any action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a " Proceeding ")
to which the officer or Director is made a party or is threatened to be made a party, or in which the officer or Director is involved
by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer or Director of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company
as an officer or director of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise whether the basis
of the Proceeding is an alleged action in an official capacity as an officer or Director, or in any other capacity while serving
as an officer or Director. Thus, the Company may be prevented from recovering damages for certain alleged errors or omissions
by the officers and Directors for liabilities incurred in connection with their good faith acts for the Company. Such an indemnification
payment might deplete the Company's assets. Stockholders who have questions regarding the fiduciary obligations of the officers
and Directors of the Company should consult with independent legal counsel. It is the position of the Securities and Exchange
Commission that exculpation from and indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
the rules and regulations thereunder is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.
Risks
Relating To The Oil And Gas Operations Of The Company
Oil,
Gas And Natural Gas Liquid Prices Are Volatile.
We
anticipate that our future financial results will be highly dependent on the general supply and demand for oil, gas and natural
gas liquids (“NGLs”), which will impact the prices we ultimately realize on our future sales of these commodities.
A significant downward movement of the prices for these commodities could have a material adverse effect on our future revenues,
operating cash flows and profitability. Such a downward price movement could also have a material adverse effect on our future
estimated proved reserves, the carrying value of our future oil and gas properties, the level of planned drilling activities and
future growth. Historically, market prices have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future due to numerous
factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:
|
• |
consumer demand for oil, gas and NGLs; |
|
|
|
|
• |
conservation efforts; |
|
|
|
|
• |
OPEC production levels; |
|
|
|
|
• |
weather; |
|
|
|
|
• |
regional pricing differentials; |
|
|
|
|
• |
differing quality of oil produced (i.e., sweet crude versus heavy
or sour crude); |
|
|
|
|
• |
differing quality and NGL content of gas produced; |
|
|
|
|
• |
the level of imports and exports of oil, gas and NGLs; |
|
|
|
|
• |
the price and availability of alternative fuels; |
|
|
|
|
• |
the overall economic environment; and |
|
|
|
|
• |
Governmental regulations and taxes. |
Estimates
Of Oil, Gas And NGL Reserves Are Uncertain.
The
process of estimating oil, gas and NGL reserves is complex and requires significant judgment in the evaluation of available geological,
engineering and economic data for each reservoir, particularly for new discoveries. Because of the high degree of judgment involved,
different reserve engineers may develop different estimates of reserve quantities and related revenue based on the same data.
In addition, the reserve estimates for a given reservoir may change substantially over time as a result of several factors including
additional development activity, the viability of production under varying economic conditions and variations in production levels
and associated costs. Consequently, material revisions to our future reserve estimates may occur as a result of changes in any
of these factors. Such revisions to reserves could have a material adverse effect on our future estimates of future net revenue,
as well as our financial condition and profitability.
Discoveries
Or Acquisitions Of Additional Reserves Will Be Needed To Avoid A Material Decline In Future Reserves And Production.
The
production rates from oil and gas properties generally decline as reserves are depleted, while related per unit production costs
generally increase, due to decreasing reservoir pressures and other factors. Therefore, we anticipate our future estimated proved
reserves and future oil, gas and NGL production will decline materially as future reserves are produced unless we conduct successful
exploration and development activities or, unless we identify additional producing zones in existing wells, secondary or tertiary
recovery techniques, or acquire additional properties containing proved reserves. Consequently, our future oil, gas and NGL production
and related per unit production costs will be highly dependent upon our level of success in finding or acquiring additional reserves.
Future
Exploration And Drilling Results Are Uncertain And Involve Substantial Costs.
Substantial
costs are often required to locate and acquire properties and drill exploratory wells. Such activities are subject to numerous
risks, including the risk that we will not encounter commercially productive oil or gas reservoirs. The costs of drilling and
completing wells are often uncertain. In addition, oil and gas properties can become damaged or drilling operations may be curtailed,
delayed or canceled as a result of a variety of factors including, but not limited to:
|
• |
unexpected drilling conditions; |
|
|
|
|
• |
pressure or irregularities in reservoir formations; |
|
|
|
|
• |
equipment failures or accidents; |
|
|
|
|
• |
fires, explosions, blowouts and surface cratering; |
|
|
|
|
• |
adverse weather conditions; |
|
|
|
|
• |
lack of access to pipelines or other transportation methods; |
|
|
|
|
• |
environmental hazards or liabilities; and |
|
|
|
|
• |
Shortages or delays in the availability of services or delivery
of equipment. |
A
significant occurrence of one of these factors could result in a partial or total loss of our future investment in a particular
property. In addition, drilling activities may not be successful in establishing proved reserves. Such a failure could have an
adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial condition. While both exploratory and developmental drilling
activities involve these risks, exploratory drilling involves greater risks of dry holes or failure to find commercial quantities
of hydrocarbons.
Industry
Competition For Leases, Materials, People And Capital Can Be Significant.
Strong
competition exists in all sectors of the oil and gas industry. We plan to compete with major integrated and other independent
oil and gas companies for the acquisition of oil and gas leases and properties. We also plan to compete for the equipment and
personnel required to explore, develop and operate properties. Competition is also prevalent in the marketing of oil, gas and
NGLs. Typically, during times of high or rising commodity prices, drilling and operating costs will also increase. Higher prices
will also generally increase the costs of properties available for acquisition. Our competitors have financial and other resources
substantially larger than ours. They also may have established strategic long-term positions and relationships in areas in which
we may seek new entry. As a consequence, we may be at a competitive disadvantage in bidding for properties. In addition, many
of our larger competitors may have a competitive advantage when responding to factors that affect demand for oil and gas production,
such as changing worldwide price and production levels, the cost and availability of alternative fuels, and the application of
government regulations.
Public
Policy, Which Includes Laws, Rules and Regulations, Can Change.
Our
planned operations are subject to federal laws, rules and regulations in the United States. In addition, we will also be subject
to the laws and regulations of various states and local governments. Pursuant to public policy changes, numerous government departments
and agencies have issued extensive rules and regulations binding on the oil and gas industry and its individual members, some
of which carry substantial penalties for failure to comply. Changes in such public policies could affect our planned operations.
Political developments can restrict production levels, enact price controls, change environmental protection requirements, and
increase taxes, royalties and other amounts payable to governments or governmental agencies. Existing laws and regulations can
also require us to incur substantial costs to maintain regulatory compliance. Our future projected operating and other compliance
costs could increase if existing laws and regulations are revised or reinterpreted or if new laws and regulations become applicable
to our operations. Although we are unable to predict changes to existing laws and regulations, such changes could significantly
impact our future profitability, financial condition and liquidity, particularly changes related to hydraulic fracturing, income
taxes and climate change as discussed below.
Hydraulic
Fracturing— The U.S. Congress is currently considering legislation to amend the federal Safe Drinking Water
Act to require the disclosure of chemicals used by the oil and natural-gas industry in the hydraulic-fracturing process. Currently,
regulation of hydraulic fracturing is primarily conducted at the state level through permitting and other compliance requirements.
This legislation, if adopted, could establish an additional level of regulation and permitting at the federal level.
Income
Taxes— The U.S. President’s recent budget proposals include provisions that would, if enacted, make significant
changes to United States tax laws. The most significant change would eliminate the immediate deduction for intangible drilling
and development costs.
Climate
Change— Policy makers in the United States are increasingly focusing on whether the emissions of greenhouse gases,
such as carbon dioxide and methane, are contributing to harmful climatic changes. Policy makers at both the United States federal
and state level have introduced legislation and proposed new regulations that are designed to quantify and limit the emission
of greenhouse gases through inventories and limitations on greenhouse gas emissions. Legislative initiatives to date have focused
on the development of cap-and-trade programs. These programs generally would cap overall greenhouse gas emissions on an economy-wide
basis and require major sources of greenhouse gas emissions or major fuel producers to acquire and surrender emission allowances.
Cap-and-trade programs would be relevant to our planned operations because the equipment we plan to use to explore for, develop,
produce and process oil and natural gas emits greenhouse gases. Additionally, the combustion of carbon-based fuels, such as the
oil, gas and NGLs we plan to sell, emits carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
We
Will Incur Certain Costs To Comply With Government Regulations, Particularly Regulations Relating To Environmental Protection
And Safety, And Could Incur Even Greater Costs In The Future.
Our
exploration, production and marketing operations are regulated extensively at the federal, state and local levels and are subject
to interruption or termination by governmental and regulatory authorities based on environmental or other considerations. Moreover,
we have incurred and will continue to incur costs in our efforts to comply with the requirements of environmental, safety and
other regulations. Further, the regulatory environment in the oil and gas industry could change in ways that we cannot predict
and that might substantially increase our costs of compliance and, in turn, materially and adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial condition.
Specifically,
as an owner or lessee and operator of crude oil and natural gas properties, we are subject to various federal, state, and local
regulations relating to the discharge of materials into, and the protection of, the environment. These regulations may, among
other things, impose liability on us for the cost of pollution cleanup resulting from operations, subject us to liability for
pollution damages and require suspension or cessation of operations in affected areas. Moreover, we are subject to the United
States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency's (U.S. EPA) rule requiring annual reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Changes in, or additions to, these regulations could lead to increased operating and compliance costs and, in turn, materially
and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We
are aware of the increasing focus of local, state, national and international regulatory bodies on GHG emissions and climate change
issues. In addition to the U.S. EPA's rule requiring annual reporting of GHG emissions, we are also aware of legislation proposed
by U.S. lawmakers to reduce GHG emissions.
Additionally,
there have been various proposals to regulate hydraulic fracturing at the federal level. Currently, the regulation of hydraulic
fracturing is primarily conducted at the state level through permitting and other compliance requirements. Any new federal regulations
that may be imposed on hydraulic fracturing could result in additional permitting and disclosure requirements (such as the reporting
and public disclosure of the chemical additives used in the fracturing process) and in additional operating restrictions. In addition
to the possible federal regulation of hydraulic fracturing, some states and local governments have considered imposing various
conditions and restrictions on drilling and completion operations, including requirements regarding casing and cementing of wells,
testing of nearby water wells, restrictions on the access to and usage of water and restrictions on the type of chemical additives
that may be used in hydraulic fracturing operations. Such federal and state permitting and disclosure requirements and operating
restrictions and conditions could lead to operational delays and increased operating and compliance costs and, moreover, could
delay or effectively prevent the development of crude oil and natural gas from formations which would not be economically viable
without the use of hydraulic fracturing.
We
will continue to monitor and assess any new policies, legislation, regulations and treaties in the areas where we operate to determine
the impact on our operations and take appropriate actions, where necessary. We are unable to predict the timing, scope and effect
of any currently proposed or future laws, regulations or treaties, but the direct and indirect costs of such laws, regulations
and treaties (if enacted) could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Environmental
Matters And Costs Can Be Significant.
As
an owner, lessee or operator of oil and gas properties, we will be subject to various federal, state, provincial, tribal and local
laws and regulations relating to discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment. These laws and regulations may,
among other things, impose liability on us for the cost of pollution clean-up resulting from our operations in affected areas.
Any future environmental costs of fulfilling our commitments to the environment are uncertain and will be governed by several
factors, including future changes to regulatory requirements. There is no assurance that changes in or additions to public policy
regarding the protection of the environment will not have a significant impact on our planned operations and profitability.
Insurance
Does Not Cover All Risks.
Exploration,
development, production and processing of oil, gas and NGLs can be hazardous and involve unforeseen occurrence including, but
not limited to blowouts, cratering, fires and loss of well control. These occurrences can result in damage to or destruction of
wells or production facilities, injury to persons, loss of life, or damage to property or the environment. We plan to maintain
insurance against certain losses or liabilities in accordance with customary industry practices and in amounts that management
believes to be prudent. However, insurance against all operational risks will not be available to us.
Because
Of The Inherent Dangers Involved In Oil And Gas Exploration, There Is A Risk That We May Incur Liability Or Damages As We Conduct
Our Business Operations, Which Could Force Us To Expend A Substantial Amount Of Money In Connection With Litigation And/or A Settlement.
The
oil and natural gas business involves a variety of operating hazards and risks such as well blowouts, pipe failures, casing collapse,
explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids, fires, spills, pollution, releases of toxic gas and other
environmental hazards and risks. These hazards and risks could result in substantial losses to us from, among other things, injury
or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental
damage, cleanup responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and suspension of operations. In addition, we may be
liable for environmental damages caused by previous owners of property purchased and/or leased by us. As a result, substantial
liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could reduce or eliminate the funds
available for the purchase of properties and/or property interests, exploration, development or acquisitions or result in the
loss of properties and/or force us to expend substantial monies in connection with litigation or settlements. As such, there can
be no assurance that any insurance obtained by us in the future will be adequate to cover any losses or liabilities. We cannot
predict the availability of insurance or the availability of insurance at premium levels that justify our purchase. The occurrence
of a significant event not fully insured or indemnified against could materially and adversely affect our financial condition
and operations. We may elect to self-insure if management believes that the cost of insurance, although available, is excessive
relative to the risks presented. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. The occurrence
of an event not fully covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations,
which could lead to any investment in us becoming worthless.
Risks
Relating To Our Securities
We
Have Not And Do Not Anticipate Paying Any Cash Dividends On Our Common Stock And Because Of This Our Securities Could Face Devaluation
In The Market.
We
have paid no cash dividends on our common stock to date and it is not anticipated that any cash dividends will be paid to holders
of our common stock in the foreseeable future. While our dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs
of our business operations, it is anticipated that any earnings will be retained to finance our business operations and future
expansion.
The
Market For Our Common Stock Will Be Subject To Fluctuations.
Our
common stock is quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) under the symbol “PEII”. We
anticipate the market for our common stock on the OTCBB to be subject to fluctuations in response to several factors, including,
but not limited to:
(1) |
actual or anticipated variations in our results
of operations; |
|
|
(2) |
our ability to generate revenues; |
(3) |
conditions and trends in the market for oil
and natural gas; and |
|
|
(4) |
future acquisitions we may make. |
Furthermore,
our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations,
as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates, or government regulations may
adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.
If
We Are Late In Filing Our Quarterly Or Annual Reports With The Securities and Exchange Commission Or A Market Maker Fails To Quote
Our Common Stock On The Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board For A Period Of More Than Four Days, We May Be De-Listed From The Over-The-Counter
Bulletin Board.
Pursuant
to Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") rules relating to the timely filing of periodic reports with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), any OTCBB issuer which fails to file a periodic report (Form 10-Q
or 10-K) by the due date of such report (not withstanding any extension granted to the issuer by the filing of a Form 12b-25),
three times during any 24 month period is automatically de-listed from the OTCBB. Such removed issuer would not be re-eligible
to be listed on the OTCBB for a period of one year, during which time any subsequent late filing would reset the one-year period
of de-listing. Additionally, if a market maker fails to quote our common stock on the OTCBB for a period of more than four consecutive
days, we will be automatically delisted from the OTCBB. If we are late in our filings three times in any 24 month period and are
de-listed from the OTCBB or are automatically delisted for failure of a market maker to quote our stock, our securities may become
worthless and we may be forced to curtail or abandon our business plan.
Investors
May Face Significant Restrictions On The Resale Of Our Common Stock Due To Federal Regulations Of Penny Stocks.
Our
common stock will be subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
as long as the price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities
to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including
a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's
consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, also requires additional
disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock. Generally, the Commission defines a penny
stock as any equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share.
The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny
stock market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of the securities and
the ability of purchasers to sell their securities in the secondary market.
State
Securities Laws May Limit Secondary Trading, Which May Restrict The States In Which And Conditions Under Which You Can Sell Shares.
Secondary
trading in our common stock may not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable
securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals,
is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the
secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased
by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common
stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted.
Because
We Are Not Subject To Compliance With Rules Requiring The Adoption Of Certain Corporate Governance Measures, Our Stockholders
Have Limited Protections Against Interested Director Transactions, Conflicts Of Interest And Similar Matters.
The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York and American Stock Exchanges
and the Nasdaq Stock Market, as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate
governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply
to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with
many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated
with such compliance any sooner than legally required, we have not yet adopted these measures.
We
do not currently have an independent audit or compensation committee. As a result, our Directors have the ability to, among other
things; determine their own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether
such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections
against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and any potential investors may be
reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
We
intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to Director independence as and when required. However, we may
find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, Directors and members of board committees required
to provide for our effective management as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of Directors
and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly or
deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.
Nevada
Law And Our Articles Of Incorporation Authorize Us To Issue Shares Of Stock, Which Shares May Cause Substantial Dilution To Our
Existing Shareholders.
We
have authorized capital stock consisting of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share and 10,000,000 shares
of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. As a result, our Board of Directors has the ability to issue a large number of
additional shares of common stock without shareholder approval, which if issued could cause substantial dilution to our then shareholders.
Additionally, shares of preferred stock may be issued by our Board of Directors without shareholder approval with voting powers,
and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and powers as determined by our Board of Directors,
which may be greater than the shares of common stock currently outstanding. As a result, shares of preferred stock may be issued
by our Board of Directors which cause the holders to have super majority voting power over our shares (similar to the Shares A
Preferred Stock previously issued by the Board of Directors), provide the holders of the preferred stock the right to convert
the shares of preferred stock they hold into shares of our common stock, which may cause substantial dilution to our then common
stock shareholders and/or have other rights and preferences greater than those of our common stock shareholders.
Investors should
keep in mind that the Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of common stock and preferred stock, which
could cause substantial dilution to our existing shareholders. Additionally, the dilutive effect of any preferred stock, which
we may issue may be exacerbated given the fact that such preferred stock may have super majority voting rights (similar to the
Series A Preferred Stock already issued and outstanding) and/or other rights or preferences which could provide the preferred
shareholders with voting control over us subsequent to this filing and/or give those holders the power to prevent or cause a change
in control. As a result, the issuance of shares of common stock and/or Preferred Stock may cause the value of our securities to
decrease and/or become worthless.

In
the event of the transfer by the selling stockholder of his shares of our common stock or stock options to any pledgee, donee
or other transferee, we will amend this amended reoffer prospectus and the registration statement of which this amended reoffer
prospectus forms a part by the filing of a post-effective amendment in order to have the pledgee, donee or other transferee in
place of the selling stockholder who has transferred his shares.
In
effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate.
Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder or, if any of the broker-dealers act as an
agent for the purchaser of such shares, from a purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those customary
in the types of transactions involved.
Broker-dealers
may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of the shares of our common stock at a stipulated price per
share. Such an agreement may also require the broker-dealer to purchase as principal any unsold shares of our common stock at
the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholder if such broker-dealer is unable to sell
the shares on behalf of the selling stockholder. Broker-dealers who acquire shares of our common stock as principal may thereafter
resell the shares of our common stock from time to time in transactions which may involve block transactions and sales to and
through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. Such sales by a broker-dealer could be at
prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions.
In connection with such resale, the broker-dealer may pay to or receive from the purchasers of the shares commissions as described
above.
The
selling stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholder in the sale of the shares of
our common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection
with these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the
shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of
1933.
From
time to time, the selling stockholder may pledge shares of our common stock pursuant to the margin provisions of customer agreements
with brokers. Upon a default by the selling stockholder, his broker may offer and sell the pledged shares of our common stock
from time to time. Upon a sale of the shares of our common stock, we believe that the selling stockholder will satisfy the prospectus
delivery requirements under the Securities Act of 1933. We will file any amendments or other necessary documents in compliance
with the Securities Act of 1933 which may be required in the event the selling stockholder defaults under any customer agreement
with brokers.
To
the extent required under the Securities Act of 1933, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this amended
reoffer prospectus forms a part will be filed disclosing the name of any broker-dealers, the number of shares of our common stock
involved, the price at which our common stock is to be sold, the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such
broker-dealers, where applicable, that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out
or incorporated by reference in this amended reoffer prospectus and other facts material to the transaction.
We
and the selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and
regulations under it, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as the selling stockholder is a distribution participant
and we, under certain circumstances, may be a distribution participant, under Regulation M. All of the foregoing may affect the
marketability of our common stock.
All
expenses for this amended reoffer prospectus and related registration statement including legal, accounting, printing and mailing
fees are and will be borne by us. Any commissions, discounts or other
fees
payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the selling stockholder,
the purchasers participating in such transaction, or both.
Any
shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this amended reoffer prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act of 1933, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this amended reoffer prospectus.

LIMITATION
ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS AND DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
The
Nevada Revised Statutes provide, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, such as the
Company, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding (other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding
if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s
conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Nevada corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made in respect
of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only
to the extent that the State of Nevada or any other court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

INFORMATION
REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item
3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The
Registrant is subject to the informational and reporting requirements of Sections 13(a), 14, and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and in accordance therewith files reports, proxy statements and other
information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The following documents, which are
on file with the Commission, are incorporated in this registration statement by reference:
(a)
The Registrant’s latest annual report filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or the latest
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act that contains audited financial statements for the Registrant’s
latest fiscal year for which such statements have been filed.
(b)
All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by
the document referred to in (a) above.
All
documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be part
hereof from the date of the filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for the purposes of this registration statement
to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated
by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed,
except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.

Item
6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
In
accordance with the laws of Nevada, in general, an incorporated corporation, such as the Company, may indemnify any person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other
than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In
the case of a derivative action, a Nevada corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, except that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will
have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and
only
to the extent that the State of Nevada or any other court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Not
applicable.
Item
8. Exhibits.
The
Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated herein by reference.
Item
9. Undertakings.
1.
Item 512(a) of Regulation S-K. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information
set forth in the registration statement; and,
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs
(i) and (ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
at the termination of the offering.
2.
Item 512(b) of Regulation S-K. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3.
Item 512(h) of Regulation S-K. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to
the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
