Note B - Preparation of Financial Statements
The Company follows the accrual basis of accounting in accordan
ce with generally accepted accounting principles and has elected a year-end of December 31.
We
qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management
further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.
For segment reporting purposes, the Company and its subsidiaries operated in only one industry segment during the periods
represented in the accompanying financial statements and makes all operating decisions and allocates resources based on the best interests of the Company as a whole.
During
interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set forth in its annual audited financial statements filed with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission on its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The information presented within these interim financial statements may not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the users of financial information provided for interim periods should refer to the annual financial information and footnotes when reviewing the interim financial results presented herein.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements, prepared in
accordance with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s instructions for Form 10-Q, are unaudited and contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective interim periods presented. The current period results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately will be reported for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements, as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and as appropriate, contain the accounts of the Company and its wholly- or majority-owned (directly and indirectly) subsidiaries: Petrogres Co Ltd., Petronav Carriers LLC, Shiba Ship Management Ltd., Danae Marine Ltd., Invictus Marine S. A. and Entus Marine Ltd. (all incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands); Petrogress Int’l LLC (a Delaware limited liability company); Petrogres Africa Co., Ltd. (incorporated in the Republic of Ghana) and Petrogress Oil & Gas, Inc. (a Texas corporation). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated entities are collectively referred to as the “Company.”
Note C - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid
investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.
2.
Accounts receivable and revenue recognition
The Company, through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in the purchase, transport and processing of
oil and petroleum products. In the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to virtually all of its customers which are located principally in Africa. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. Because of the credit risk involved, management has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts which reflects its opinion of amounts which will eventually become uncollectible. In the event of complete non-performance, the maximum exposure to the Company is the recorded amount of trade accounts receivable shown on the balance sheet at the date of non-performance.

Note C - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
The Company
recognizes revenues after product is delivered to a contracted customer. Product in transit at the end of an accounting period is recorded at an estimated value which is adjusted upon load certification. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that the following four basic criteria are met (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of products and services has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue from commissions during the month in which commissions are earned.
3.
Inventory
The Company's inventory, which
consists primarily of purchased crude oil in transit on a marine vessel at the respective balance sheet date, is valued at the lower of cost or market using the mark-to-market method of valuation.
4.
Marketable Securities
The Company classifies its mark
etable securities as available-for-sale securities, which are carried at their fair value based on the quoted market prices of the securities with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in net earnings in the period earned or incurred. Other investments, if any, that do not have a readily determinable fair value are recorded at amortized cost. For purposes of computing realized gains and losses, the specific identification method is used.
5.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost. These costs are depreciated over the estima
ted useful lives of the individual assets using the straight-line method, generally 5 to 10 years.
Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment are recognized as incurred and are included in operations.
In accordance with the appropriate s
ections of the Fixed Asset topic of the FASB ASC, the Company follows the policy of evaluating all property and equipment as of the end of each reporting quarter. At September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, management has not provided any impairment for the future recoverability of these assets.
6.
Organization costs
The Company has adopted the provisions required by the Start-Up Activities topic of the FASB ASC whereby all costs incurred with the incorporation and reorganization of the Company were ch
arged to operations as incurred.
7.
Income taxes
The Company files income tax returns in various jurisdictions, as appropriate and required. The Company was not subject to U.S. federal, state and local, as applicable, income tax examinations by regulato
ry taxing authorities for any period prior to January 1, 2012.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the estimated future tax effects,
calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. The Company records a valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.

Note C - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax positio
n is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not incurred any liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including assessments of penalties and/or interest.
The Company measures and records uncertain tax positi
ons by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized.
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period presented in our accompanying financial statements.
Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of common stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options
and warrants).
Common
stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company’s net income (loss) position at the calculation date.
As of September 30, 2017, the Company does not have any outstanding items which
could be deemed to be dilutive. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had potentially dilutive securities related to the Company’s outstanding convertible debt that could have potentially converted into approximately 6,018,760 shares of common stock.
9.
Accounting for Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for per
formance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. Stock awards granted to non-employees are valued at their respective measurement dates based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and recognized as expense during the period in which services are provided.
10.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting comprehe
nsive income and its components in a financial statement. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Items included in the Company’s comprehensive loss consist of unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.
11.
New and Pending Accounting Pronouncements
The Company is of the opinion that any and all other pending accounting pronouncements, either in the adoption phase or not yet required to be adopted, will not have a signifi
cant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016
Note D - Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash
investments and trade accounts receivables. The Company places its temporary cash investments with financial institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the short payment terms dictated by the industry and operating environment. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, management is of the opinion that the Company had no significant concentrations of credit risk.
Note
E - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, inventory, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and convertible debt.
The carrying amount of cash,
accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and convertible debt, as applicable, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these items and/or the current interest rates payable in relation to current market conditions.
Marketable securities are adjusted to fair value each balance sheet date, based on quoted prices; which are considered level 1 inputs. The Company
’s derivative liability is valued using the level 3 inputs. The estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange or from future earnings or cash flows.
Interest
rate risk is the risk that the Company’s earnings are subject to fluctuations in interest rates on either investments or on debt and is fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to interest rate risk, if any.
Financial
risk is the risk that the Company’s earnings are subject to fluctuations in interest rates or foreign exchange rates and are fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to financial risk, if any.
Fair
value measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”). Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). The Company also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.
The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are cl
assified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets that is unadjusted and accessible at the measure
ment date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which
significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016
Note E - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
- Continued
Level 3 - Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Cr
edit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the Company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.
The
following table represents the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, for each fair value hierarchy level:

Note H - Convertible Notes
Payable
On
May 1, 2015, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note with LG Capital Funding LLC in the amount of $21,500 and on May 26, 2015, entered into a Convertible Promissory Note with Crown Bridge Partners LLC in the amount of $24,000. On December 9, 2015, both of these notes were acquired by Mammoth Corporation and restructured to the principal amount of $31,259 and $38,280, respectively. The notes had a scheduled maturity of September 9, 2016.
Each
note was non-interest bearing and contained a conversion feature, at the option of the holder, whereby the principal amount and any accrued interest, if any, could be converted to common stock of the Company at a conversion price of 54% of the lowest closing price for the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading days preceding the date of the conversion notice.
The Company tendered a cash payment of approximately $44,887 as payment in full on the outstanding principal and accrued interest, if any, on July 3, 2017. Mammoth Corporation i
nitially rejected the tender, but later accepted a settlement of 1.2 million shares and payment of $26,767. Given the timing of this debt retirement in relation to the date of the accompanying financial statements, the underlying derivative was effectively retired as of June 30, 2017.
The Company determined that the conversion feature of the Mammoth Notes represent an embedded derivative since the
Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the Mammoth Notes were not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, the fair value of these derivative instruments being recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to each Note. Such discount is being amortized from the date of issuance to the maturity dates of the Notes. The change in the fair value of the liability for derivative contracts are recorded in other income or expenses in the consolidated statements of operations at the end of each quarter, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet. The embedded feature included in the Mammoth Notes resulted in a debt discount of $48,975 on the date the Mammoth Notes were assumed and a derivative liability of $300,321.

Note I - Note Payable to Stockholder
In
conjunction with the aforementioned change-in-control transaction on February 29, 2016, the Company and its current controlling stockholder, Christos Traios, recognized that sufficient working capital would be required for the foreseeable future to support the operations of the parent holding company, including the maintenance of the corporate entity and compliance with the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Note I - Note Payable to Stockholder
- Continued
For the period February 29, 2016 through July 13, 2017, this
arrangement was undocumented and informal. On July 13, 2017, the Company issued a $1,000,000 Revolving Line of Credit Note (the “LOC Note”) in favor of the Company’s principal stockholder and sole officer/director, Christos Traios. As previously mentioned, Mr. Traios has agreed to provide the Company with additional working capital as required from time-to-time to support its operations, and the LOC Note formalizes that commitment and confirms amounts previously advanced under an informal agreement between Mr. Traios and the Company.
The
LOC Note bears interest payable on the outstanding principal at eight percent (8%) per annum. The principal and any accrued but unpaid interest on the LOC Note is due and payable on or before July 13, 2018. At the maturity date, provided that the Company is not in default, the Company, at the Company’s option may extend and renew the LOC Note for additional terms of twelve (12) months, with a new effective and maturity date assigned for each successive extension and renewal.
Interest is due and payable every six (6) months and on the Maturity Date, and each successive iteration
of such dates upon extension and renewal thereafter. The principal amount of the LOC Note may be prepaid by the Company, in whole or in part, without penalty, at any time.
Upon
the interest due date or maturity date, or any of them, regardless of any event of default, the LOC Note holder may demand payment of any or all of the interest due on the principal amount by delivery of a number of common shares converted at a rate of $0.001 per share. There is no provision for any of the principal to be repaid in common stock of the Company. Except in the event of a default, in no instance may the LOC Note holder convert amounts due for accrued interest to the extent that said repayment in common stock will cause the Company to issue a number of shares constituting ten percent (10%) or more of the Company’s then issued and outstanding common shares.
In
consideration of Lender's extending the Credit Line to the Company, the Company agreed to issue to Mr. Traios a Warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.05 for a period of five years. The Warrant will provide for cashless exercise privileges, and be transferrable or assignable at the Holder’s option, with the Company’s approval.
A
dvances from Christos Traios from inception, including activity on the LOC Note, is as follows:
