CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K and the exhibits attached hereto contain certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements concern our anticipated results and developments in our operations in future periods, planned exploration and development of our properties, plans related to our business and matters that may occur in the future. These statements relate to analysis and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.

Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “plans”, “estimates” or “intends”, or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation:



-	risks related to our limited operating history:
-	risks related to our need to raise additional capital to fund working capital requirements;
-	risks related to the historical losses and expected losses in the future and our ability to continue as a going concern;
-	risks related to our dependence on our executive officers;
-	risks related to fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices;
-	risks related to exploratory activities, drilling for and producing oil and natural gas;
-	risks related to liability claims from oil and gas operations;
-	risks related to legal compliance costs and litigation expenditures;
-	risks related to the unavailability of drilling equipment and supplies;
-	risks related to competition in the oil and natural gas industry;
-	risks related to period to period comparison of our financial results;
-	risks related to our securities, including trading activity, price fluctuation and volatility;
-	risks related to our ability to raise capital or enter into joint venture or working interest arrangements to complete exploration and development programs on acceptable terms, if at all; and
-	political, social and cultural risks associated with operations and conducting business in foreign countries.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our forward-looking statements. Some of the important risks and uncertainties that could affect forward-looking statements are described further under the sections titled “Risk Factors”, “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Annual Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Our management has included projections and estimates in this Annual Report, which are based primarily on management’s experience in the industry, assessments of our results of operations, discussions and negotiations with third parties and a review of information filed by our competitors with the Securities and Exchange Commission (which we refer to as the “SEC”) or otherwise publicly available. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, except as required by law.

We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report by the foregoing cautionary statements.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Our primary business is to identify opportunities to either make direct property acquisitions or to fund exploration or development of oil and natural gas properties of others under arrangements in which we will finance the costs in exchange for interests in the oil or natural gas revenue generated by the properties. Such arrangements are commonly referred to as farm-ins to us, or farm-outs by the property owners farming out to us.

On December 23, 2011, Sky Petroleum delivered Notice of Arbitration under the Arbitration Rules of the United Nations Commission on Internal Trade Law to National Agency of Natural Resources and to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy of Albania to institute an arbitration proceeding against the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy of Albania, acting by and through AKBN, for breach of the PSC in accordance with Article XXI of the PSC. The arbitration proceeding arose out of the termination of the PSC.

On May 7, 2013, the Arbitration Tribunal ruled that (i) AKBN provided proper notice of the termination of the PSC to Sky Petroleum on July 22, 2011, for Sky Petroleum's failure to deliver a conforming bank guarantee to AKBN by July 22, 2011, and (ii) the PSC was properly terminated on November 17, 2011. The Arbitration Tribunal ruled Sky Petroleum to reimburse AKBN for total fees and expenses in connection with the Arbitration proceeding in the amount of EUR 382,774($501,511). As a result of the ruling, Sky Petroleum impaired its Investment in Oil and Gas Properties, net, related to acquisition and development costs for oil and gas projects in Albania by $10,205,220 to $0. See "Investment in Oil and Gas Properties" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

The Company cannot be certain that its existing sources of cash will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements. However, management has implemented plans to improve liquidity through slowing or stopping certain planned expenditures and improvements to results from operations. Management plans to continue to obtain funding through equity, debt or other securities offerings. There can be no assurance that the capital raising efforts will be successful or that our results of operations will materially improve in either the short-term or long-term and accordingly, we may be unable to meet our obligations as they become due.

A fundamental principle of the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is the assumption that an entity will continue in existence as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities occurring in the ordinary course of business. However, this principle is applicable to all entities except for entities in liquidation or entities for which liquidation appears imminent. In accordance with this requirement, our policy is to prepare our consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis unless we intend to liquidate or have no other alternative but to liquidate. The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not reflect any adjustments that might specifically result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

History and Corporate Structure

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada in August 2002 under the corporate name The Flower Valet. In 2004, we began to reassess our business plan and to seek business opportunities in other industries, including the oil and gas industry. On December 20, 2004, at our annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, changing our name from The Flower Valet to Seaside Exploration, Inc. Subsequently, on March 28, 2005, we changed our name from Seaside Exploration, Inc. to Sky Petroleum, Inc. and began actively identifying opportunities to make direct property acquisitions and to fund exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties.

On October 8, 2010, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada to designate 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock as shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Shares"). The Company issued 3,863,636 Series B Preferred Shares to a consultant (“the Consultant”) under the terms of a consultant agreement related to the final approval of the PSC.

As of December 31, 2013 , the Company had four wholly-owned subsidiaries, two incorporated in Cyprus: Sastaro Limited (“Sastaro”) and Bekata Limited ("Bekata”) which owns 100% of Sastaro and a third Sky Petroleum (Albania) Inc., a Cayman Islands corporation and qualified branch in Albania, incorporated for the purposes of holding interests in Albania. On October 31, 2013, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Shareholders agreement, with Hyde Resources Ltd., incorporated in Northern Ireland (the " JV Corporation"). The company established Sky Petroleum UK Limited, incorporated in England and Wales (the "Sky JV Sub"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Sky JV Sub owns 75% of the Joint Venture shares.

Joint Venture Agreement

On October, 31, 2013, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Shareholders’ Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Hyde Resources Ltd., incorporated in Northern Ireland (the “JV Corporation”), Sky Petroleum UK Limited, incorporated in England and Wales ( “Sky JV Sub”), and SO Ventures Ltd., incorporated in Northern Ireland (the “SO Ventures”). Sky JV Sub, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sky Petroleum. Sky JV SUB owns 300 ordinary shares of the JV Corporation, while the Irish SO Ventures owns 100 ordinary shares of the JV Corporation. Each ordinary share was issued for 1 British Pound.

The purpose of the JV Corporation is to obtain licenses and to conduct technical, environmental and exploration due diligence; raise capital and commence into one or more joint venture projects (each a “JVC Project”) for the purposes of conducting, Exploration, Development and Commercialization of oil and gas in the Area of Interest (as those terms are defined in the JV Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the JV Agreement, the Parties will jointly use commercially reasonable efforts to jointly identify and secure property, rights and concessions in the Area of Interest. The Parties will also jointly determine the capital

requirements of each JVC Project and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the required capital.

Sky JV Sub has undertaken to advance funds through loans or use commercially reasonable efforts to identify and secure loans or advancement of funds from bona fide arms’ length third party lenders, on commercially reasonable terms, to fund the reasonable business costs and general and administrative expenses of the JV Corporation and to fund the business from Exploration through to Discovery and onto the Delivery of a Development Plan (as those terms are defined in the JV Agreement). We have guaranteed the due and punctual performance of all obligations of Sky JV Sub under or in connection with the JV Agreement if and when they become performable in accordance with the terms of the JV Agreement (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). We further agreed to indemnify the SO Ventures against any losses, costs and expenses suffered or incurred by the SO Ventures arising out of, or in connection with: (a) any failure of Sky JV Sub to perform or discharge the Guaranteed Obligations; or (b) any of the Guaranteed Obligations being or becoming totally or partially unenforceable; but our

obligations or liability under the indemnity shall be no greater than Sky JV Sub’s obligations or liability under the JV Agreement. There has been no activity or operations in the Joint Venture and no property acquired as of December 31, 2013.

The Board of Directors of the JV Corporation has responsibility for the supervision and management of the JV Corporation and its Business. The JV Corporation shall have a minimum of 5 directors, three of whom are appointed by Sky JV Sub and 2 of whom are appointed by SO Ventures. At all times, the Sky JV Sub appointees will make up a majority of the board of directors. The JV Agreement contains other customary terms and agreements between the parties.

The JV Corporation is also governed by the terms of its Articles of Association, which adopt the model articles for private companies limited by shares contained in Schedule 1 of the Companies (Model Articles) Regulations 2008 of Northern Ireland.

The foregoing description of the JV Agreement and the Articles of Association is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full-text of the JV Agreement and the Articles of Association, a copies of which are filed on Form 8-K dated October 28, 2013.

Production Sharing Contract with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy of Albania:

The Company’s investment in the Albania exploration blocks as of December 31, 2012 was $10,205,220. The investment consisted of acquisition costs related to the PSC as follows: signing bonus $50,000, training and education $50,000, $850,000 for fees to consultants for locating and negotiating our investment in the Albania exploration blocks, and $265,220 for fees related to evaluations and assessments of the concession area. In addition, 3 million shares of common stock of the Company with a fair value of $1,170,000, plus 3,863,636 Preferred Shares Series B of the Company with a value of $7,820,000, were issued to the Consultant for expertise provided to the Company in acquiring and negotiating the acquisition of oil and gas properties in Albania.

Since June 24, 2010, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy of Albania and AKBN has been subject to multiple transitions in leadership. Since June 24, 2010, each of Mr. Dritan Prifti, Mr. Ilir Meta and Mr. Nasip Naco have served as the Minister of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy of Albania, and AKBN has had several Executive Directors, including Mr. Taulant Musabelliu, Mr. Gjergj Thomai and Mr. Besjan Pesha. Since the ratification of the PSC, Sky Petroleum patiently sought guidance from AKBN on the nature, scope and timing of deliverables through several meetings and exchanges with AKBN officials.

Mr. Pesha was appointed as Executive Director of AKBN on June 27, 2011, and management of Sky Petroleum met with Mr. Pesha and members of AKBN on July 15, 2011 to discuss Sky Petroleum’s undertakings and commitments under the PSC. On July 22, 2011, Sky Petroleum received a fax from AKBN that canceled a scheduled July 25, 2011 planning presentation and stated that AKBN intended to take the necessary steps to terminate the PSC based on Article 24.2(a), citing Sky Petroleum’s failure to commence its initial working program, deliver a bank guarantee, open an office in Albania and establish an

Exploration Advisory Committee. Sky Petroleum responded by objecting to AKBN’s cancellation of the July 22, 2011 meeting and proposed that AKBN withdraw its mandate to termination the PSC. On August 10, 2011, Sky Petroleum management met with AKBN and delivered the bank guarantee to AKBN in the form of a letter of credit from Texas Citizens Bank, N.A.

On August 22, 2011, Sky Petroleum reported that it engaged a consulting team to make field development recommendations for their Albanian prospects. A technical team led by Tim Parson, formerly Occidental Oil Co., analyzed technical data and made recommendations for three of the ten Sky Petroleum prospects in Albania. Pathfinder, a Schlumberger company, commenced theoretical planning for extended reach side-tracks and determined that initial engineering indicates all three wells are drillable.

On September 19, 2011, the Company participated in the First US-Albania Investment Forum in New York, NY. The US-Albania Investment Forum featured a delegation led by HE Sali Berisha, Prime Minister, Government of Albania, and also included Hon Edmund Haxhinasto, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hon Nasip Naco, Minister of Economy, Trade and Energy and Hon Sokol Olldashi, Minister of Public Works and Transportation. The Albanian Honorary Consul, HE Dritan Mishto opened the forum and described the current investment climate in Albania and the country's efforts to attract foreign direct investment.

On November 4, 2011, AKBN delivered an untranslated letter to Sky Petroleum. Sky Petroleum received an English translation on November 9, 2011. The AKBN letter alleged material breach of the PSC and providing notice of termination pursuant to Section 24.2(a) of the PSC. AKBN alleged breaches for failures to commence its initial working program, deliver a bank guarantee, open an office in Albania and establish an Exploration Advisory Committee. Sky Petroleum responded to AKBN on November 10, 2011, and provided AKBN notice of its intent to institute an arbitration proceeding under the terms of the PSC against AKBN for breach of the PSC.

On November 18, 2011, Sky Petroleum's legal counsel delivered to the National Agency of Natural Resources of Albania notice that the alleged termination of the PSC was made in breach of the PSC and that Sky Petroleum intended to institute an arbitration proceeding in accordance with Article XXI of the PSC. On December 23, 2011, Sky Petroleum delivered Notice of Arbitration under the Arbitration Rules of the United Nations Commission on Internal Trade Law to National Agency of

Natural Resources and to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy of Albania to institute an arbitration proceeding against the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy of Albania, acting by and through AKBN, for breach of the PSC in accordance with Article XXI of the PSC (the "arbitration") at the Tribunal at the International Dispute Resolution Centre in London, UK (the "Arbitration Tribunal"). On January 10, 2012, Sky Petroleum filed a complaint (Case No.: A-12-CA-023-SS) with the United States District Court, Western District of Texas, Austin Division (the “Court”) for declaratory and injunctive relief against the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Energy of Albania, acting by and through AKBN (collectively, the “Defendants”). The action for declaratory and injunctive relief under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act and the Albania-America Bilateral

Investment Treaty sought to compel arbitration of the dispute between Sky Petroleum and the Defendants (collectively, the “Parties”) under the PSC and to preserve the status quo ante between the Parties pending completion of arbitration under the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law.

On January 20, 2012, the Court delivered an Order and Preliminary Injunction (i) granting Sky Petroleum's preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo between the Parties pending arbitration, (ii) enjoining the Defendants and all persons acting in concert with them from awarding, transferring, or otherwise disposing of any rights to explore, develop and/or produce petroleum on the Contract Area until a final arbitration award is issued, (iii) ordering the Defendants

to remove from their website or other publicly available documents all references to the Contract Area being “free” or otherwise available for new contractors until a final arbitration award is issued, and (iv) ordering the Parties to arbitrate their dispute with the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law according to the terms of the PSC.

On February 28, 2012, Sky Petroleum petitioned the Albanian Appeal Court, Tirana, to seek to enforce the Order and Preliminary Injunction granted by the United States District Court, Western District of Texas, Austin Division. On March 1, 2012, the Appeal Court refused to recognize the Order in Albania. The Company paid approximately $342,000 to the Tribunal for estimated costs. Both Sky and AKBN were required to pay the advances, however AKBN has failed to deliver its portion of the advance.

On May 7, 2013, the Arbitration Tribunal ruled that the PSC was properly terminated on November 17, 2011, and ruled Sky Petroleum to reimburse AKBN for fees and expenses in connection with the Arbitration.

The Company's expenditures related to the Albania exploration blocks consisted of acquisition costs totaling $50,000, and $850,000 for fees to consultants for locating and negotiating the Company's investment in the Albania exploration blocks, $850,000 for fees related to evaluations and assessments of the concession area, and $50,000 towards the $100,000 allocation for training and education for the first year exploration period. In addition, 3 million shares of common stock with a fair value of $1,170,000, plus 3,863,636 Preferred Shares Series B with a value of $7,820,000, were issued to Orsett for expertise

provided to the Company in acquiring and negotiating the acquisition of oil and gas properties.

As a result of the ruling Sky Petroleum impaired Investment in Oil and Gas Properties, net, related to acquisition and development costs for oil and gas projects in Albania to $0, and for the year ended December 31, 2013, Sky Petroleum had an impairment charge of $10,205,220; and accrued a liability of $501,511 (EUR 382,774) related to liability arising from the obligation to reimburse AKBN for total fees and expenses in connection with the Arbitration proceeding. As of the date of this Annual Report, the obligation to pay AKBN remains outstanding.

Other Projects:

Komi Republic - Russian Federation

In 2007, we acquired a minority stake in the development of an oilfield in the Komi Republic of the Russian Federation by acquiring a 3.9% interest, subject to dilution, in Pechora Energy through its UK parent company, Concorde Oil & Gas Plc. (“Concorde”). This acquisition was essentially a carried interest. Pechora Energy holds the production license for the Luzskoye field in the Komi Republic. During March 2010, Concorde’s directors noted that Concorde was in the process of disposing its operating assets to one of its majority shareholders - Kuwait Energy Company (“KEC”). The completion of this transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including regulatory consents, bank consent, and approval of KEC shareholders. As a result of these events, and as of December 31, 2010, the investment in this project was impaired to zero. As of December 31, 2013 , the Company has not received any proceeds related to the disposition of these assets.

Competition

The oil and natural gas industry is intensely competitive, and we compete with other companies that have greater resources. Many of these companies not only explore for and produce oil and natural gas, but also carry on midstream and refining operations and

market petroleum and other products on a regional, national or worldwide basis. These companies may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural gas properties and exploratory prospects or define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit. In addition, these companies may have a greater ability to continue exploration activities during periods of low oil and natural gas market prices. Our larger or integrated competitors may be able to absorb the burden of existing, and any changes to, federal, state, local and tribal laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position. Our ability to acquire additional properties and to discover reserves in the future will be dependent upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. In addition, because we have fewer financial and human resources than many companies in our industry, we may be at a disadvantage in bidding for exploratory prospects and producing oil and natural gas properties.

SEC Rules and Regulations

Our oil and gas reporting disclosure obligations with the SEC are regulated under Section 1200 of Regulation S-K and Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X.

Pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations:


•	Companies must use first-of the month pricing to calculate the 12-month average commodity price unless contractual arrangements designate the price to be used;


•	Companies that produce oil and natural gas from nontraditional resources (such as oil sands, bitumen and shale) may report such resources as oil and gas reserves instead of mining reserves;


•	Probable and possible reserves may be disclosed separately on a voluntary basis;


•	For reserves to be proved, production of the reserves must be reasonably certain, meaning there is a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered and the well from which the reserves are to be recovered is scheduled to be drilled within the next five years, unless the specific circumstances justify a longer time;


•	Reserves must be estimated through the use of reliable technology in addition to flow tests and production history;


•	Additional disclosure is required regarding the qualifications of the chief technical person who oversees the reserves estimation process and a general discussion of our internal controls used to assure the objectivity of the reserves estimate;


•	Disclosure of reserves, production, drilling activity and additional information is required to be given by geographic area; and


•	Companies must provide disclosure in tabular format of proved developed reserves, proved undeveloped reserves and total proved reserves.

Reserves Reported to Other Agencies

No reserve estimates were filed with a federal authority or agency other than with the SEC on our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Productive Wells and Acreage

As of December 31, 2013 , we had no productive wells or acreage.

Undeveloped Acreage

The Company does not have any undeveloped acreage.

Drilling Activities

The Company had no drilling activities during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Present Activities and Delivery Commitments

As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company does not have any wells in the process of drilling, water floods being installed, pressure maintenance operations, or other similar oil and gas related activities which it is conducting.

As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company does not have any delivery commitments for oil and gas quantities in the future.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There are many factors that affect our business, prospects, liquidity and the results of operations, some of which are beyond the control of the Company. The following is a discussion of some, but not all, of these and other important risk factors that may cause the actual results of our operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired. Additional risks not presently known to management or risks that are currently believed to be immaterial, but which may become material, may also affect our business, prospects, liquidity and results of operations. Our failure to successfully address the risks and uncertainties described below would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock may decline and investors may lose all or part of their investment. We cannot assure you that we will successfully address these risks or other unknown risks that may affect our business. Readers should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock.

Risks related to our company and the oil and natural gas industry

On May 7, 2013, the Arbitration Tribunal ruled that the PSC was properly terminated on November 17, 2011, and ruled Sky Petroleum to reimburse AKBN for total fees and expenses in connection with the Arbitration proceeding in the amount of EUR 382,774 ($501,511). As a result of the ruling Sky Petroleum impaired Investment in Oil and Gas Properties, net, related to acquisition and development costs for oil and gas projects in Albania to $ 0, and for the year ended December 31, 2013, Sky Petroleum had an impairment charge of $10,205,220; and accrued a liability of $501,511 (EUR 382,774) related to liability arising from the obligation to reimburse AKBN for total fees and expenses in connection with the Arbitration proceeding. We have not had sufficient funds to pay this award and have received demands for payment from the Tribunal.

We have a history of losses and will require additional financing to fund working capital requirements and ongoing efforts to secure oil and gas properties. Failure to obtain additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and could cast uncertainty on our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have limited working capital and we will need to raise additional capital to fund working capital requirements. We will be required to raise additional funds during 2014. We cannot be certain that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable or acceptable to us. Our ability to arrange additional financing in the future will depend, in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions as well as our business performance. Our ability to continue on a going concern basis beyond the next twelve months depends on its ability to successfully raise additional financing for the substantial capital expenditures required to achieve planned principal operations.

Because of our historical losses and expected losses in the future, it will be difficult to forecast when we will achieve profitability, if ever.

We have incurred net losses since our inception and expect to incur further losses for the foreseeable future. It is difficult to determine when we will achieve profitability, if ever. If we are unable to generate revenues and achieve profitability, we may be forced to go out of business.

We depend on our executive officers for critical management decisions and industry contacts.

We are dependent upon the continued services of Karim Jobanputra, our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer and chairman of the board who have significant experience in the oil and gas industry. We do not carry key person insurance on their lives. Mr. Jobanputra is an entrepreneur and may not dedicate 100% of their business efforts to the business of Sky. Our executive officers and directors have other business interests, some of which may be in the oil and gas industry, and may serve on the board of directors or provide consulting services for other companies. The loss of the services of our executive officer and board members, through incapacity or otherwise, would be costly to us and would require us to seek and retain other qualified personnel. See “Directors, Executive Officers, and Corporate Governance” below.

A substantial or extended decline in oil and natural gas prices could reduce our future revenue and earnings.

The price we receive for future oil and natural gas production will heavily influence our revenue, profitability, access to capital and rate of growth. Oil and natural gas are commodities and their prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand. Historically, the markets for oil and natural gas have been volatile and in the recent past oil and natural gas prices have been significantly above historic levels. These markets will likely continue to be volatile in the future and current prices for oil and natural gas may decline in the future. The prices we may receive for any future production, and the levels of this production, depend on numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the following:


•	changes in global supply and demand for oil and natural gas


•	actions by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC;


•	actions by non OPEC countries;


•	political conditions, including embargoes, which affect other oil-producing activities;


•	levels of global oil and natural gas exploration and production activity;


•	levels of global oil and natural gas inventories;


•	weather conditions affecting energy consumption;


•	technological advances affecting energy consumption; and


•	prices and availability of alternative fuels.

Lower oil and natural gas prices may not only decrease our future revenues but also may reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce economically. A substantial or extended decline in oil or natural gas prices may reduce our earnings, cash flow and working capital and may subject us to full cost ceiling impairment.

Drilling for and producing oil and natural gas are high risk activities with many uncertainties that could substantially increase our costs and reduce our profitability.

Oil and natural gas exploration is subject to numerous risks beyond our control; including the risk that drilling will not result in any commercially viable oil or natural gas reserves.

The total cost of drilling, completing and operating wells will be uncertain before drilling commences. Overruns in budgeted expenditures are common risks that can make a particular project uneconomic. Further, many factors may curtail, delay or cancel drilling, including the following:


•	delays imposed by or resulting from compliance with regulatory requirements;


•	pressure or irregularities in geological formations;


•	shortages of or delays in obtaining equipment and qualified personnel;


•	equipment failures or accidents;


•	adverse weather conditions;


•	reductions in oil and natural gas prices; and


•	limitations in the market for oil and natural gas.

We may incur substantial losses and be subject to substantial liability claims as a result of our oil and natural gas operations.

Our operations will be subject to risks associated with oil and natural gas operations. Losses and liabilities arising from uninsured and under insured events could materially and adversely affect the payment of production revenues to us, if any. Our oil and natural gas exploration activities will be subject to all of the operating risks associated with drilling for and producing oil and natural gas, including the possibility of:


•	environmental hazards, such as uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas, brine, well fluids, toxic gas or other pollution into the environment, including groundwater contamination;


•	abnormally pressured formations;


•	mechanical difficulties, such as stuck oilfield drilling and service tools and casing collapse;


•	Unexpected failures of key equipment used in the oil and gas production process;


•	fires and explosions;


•	personal injuries and death; and


•	natural disasters.

Any of these risks could adversely affect our ability to operate or result in substantial losses. These risks may not be insurable or we may elect not to obtain insurance if the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the risks presented. In addition, pollution and environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. If a significant accident or other event that is not fully covered by insurance occurs, it could adversely affect our operations.

Market conditions or operational impediments may hinder our access to oil and natural gas markets or delay our production.

Market conditions or the unavailability of satisfactory oil and natural gas transportation arrangements may hinder access to oil and natural gas markets or delay production, if any, on our properties. The availability of a ready market for our future oil and

natural gas production will depend on a number of factors, including the demand for and supply of oil and natural gas and the proximity of reserves to pipelines and terminal facilities.

We are subject to complex laws that can affect the cost, manner and feasibility of doing business thereby increasing our costs and reducing our profitability.

Development, production and sale of oil and natural gas are subject to laws and regulations. Matters subject to regulation include:


•	permits for drilling operations;


•	reports concerning operations;


•	spacing of wells;


•	unitization and pooling of properties; and


•	taxation.

Failure to comply with these laws may also result in the suspension or termination of operations and liabilities under administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Moreover, these laws could change in ways that substantially increase the costs of doing business. Any such liabilities, penalties, suspensions, terminations or regulatory changes could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

The unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies, personnel and oilfield services could adversely affect our ability to execute our plans on a timely basis and within our budget.

Shortages or the high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies or personnel could delay or adversely affect development operations on our properties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Rising or unforeseen costs related to drilling and technical engineering may increase the cost related to drilling and completing the wells, which may either require us to contribute additional capital to drilling of the wells or cause dilution in our right to receive revenue from production, if any.

Competition in the oil and natural gas industry is intense, which may increase our costs and otherwise adversely affect our ability to compete.

We operate in a highly competitive environment for prospects suitable for exploration, marketing of oil and natural gas and securing the services of trained personnel. Many of our competitors possess and employ financial, technical and personnel resources substantially greater than ours, which can be particularly important in the areas in which we operate. Those companies may be able to pay more for prospective oil and natural gas properties and prospects and to evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or personnel resources permit. In order for us to compete with these companies, we may have to increase the amounts we pay for prospects, thereby reducing our profitability.

We may not be able to compete successfully in acquiring prospective reserves, developing reserves, marketing oil and natural gas, attracting and retaining quality personnel and raising additional capital.

Our ability to acquire additional prospects and to find and develop reserves in the future will depend on our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. In addition, there is substantial competition for capital available for investment in the oil and natural gas industry. Our inability to compete successfully in these areas could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Recent market events and general economic conditions.

The recent unprecedented events in global financial markets have had a profound impact on the global economy. Many industries, including the oil and gas industry, are impacted by these market conditions. Notwithstanding various actions by the United States. and foreign governments, concerns about the general condition of the capital markets, financial instruments, banks, investment banks, insurers and other financial institutions could cause the broader credit markets to further deteriorate and stock markets to decline substantially. In addition, general economic indicators have deteriorated, including declining consumer sentiment, increased unemployment and declining economic growth and uncertainty about corporate earnings.

These unprecedented disruptions in the current credit and financial markets have had a significant material adverse impact on a number of financial institutions and have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. These disruptions could, among other things, make it more difficult for us to obtain, or increase its cost of obtaining, capital and financing for its operations. A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer

spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates, and tax rates may adversely affect our growth and profitability. Specifically:


•	the global credit/liquidity crisis could impact the cost and availability of financing and our overall liquidity;


•	the volatility of oil and gas prices may impact our revenues, profits and cash flow;


•	volatile energy prices, commodity and consumables prices and currency exchange rates impact potential production costs; and


•	the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets impacts the valuation of our equity securities

These factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings to finance the operation, development and expansion of our business.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Payment of future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors that our board of directors considers relevant.

Accordingly, investors will only see a return on their investment if the value of our securities appreciates.

The market for our common shares has been volatile in the past, and may be subject to fluctuations in the future.

The market price of our common stock on the OTCBB has ranged from a high of $0.18 and a low of $0.065 during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013 . As of March 31, 2014, the market price for our common stock closed at $0.045 on the OTCBB. See “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities”. We cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock will not significantly fluctuate from its current level. The market price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in operating results, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, or other events or factors. In addition, the financial markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations for a number of reasons, including the failure of the operating results of certain companies to meet market expectations that have particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of many companies that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market fluctuations, or any industry-specific market fluctuations, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, class action securities litigation has been instituted against such a company. Such litigation, whether with or without merit, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our common stock because our common shares are considered a penny stock and are subject to the penny stock rules.

Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (“Exchange Act”), impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain brokers-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock. Subject to certain exceptions, a penny stock generally includes any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The market price of our common stock on the OTCBB during the period from November 6, 2003 to December 31, 2013 ranged between a high of $3.20 and a low of $0.03 per share, and our common stock is deemed penny stock for the purposes of the Exchange Act. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon brokers-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the stock and impede the sale of our stock in the secondary market.

A broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor, generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse, must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue our activities as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations, and raising additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our company discontinue operations. Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses, in their report on the annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding the doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the status of the company. The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support, and maintaining profitable operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a substantial dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If the Company should fail to continue as a going concern, you may lose the value of your investment in the Company.

We have two stock option plans: a stock incentive plan for non-U.S. residents and a stock incentive plan for U.S. residents. Our stock incentive plan for non-U.S. residents authorizes the issuance of stock options to acquire up to 10% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock (currently 6,813,371 shares, based on 68,133,709 issued shares of common stock at December 31, 2013) , and our stock incentive plan for U.S. residents authorizes the issuance of stock options to acquire up to a maximum of 3,321,600 shares of common stock (less the number of shares issuable upon exercise of options granted by us under all other stock incentive plans on the date of any grant under the U.S. plan). As of December 31, 2013, 950,000 options were granted under the U.S. plan and 1,150,000 options were granted under the non-U.S. plan. A total of 5,663,371 options are available for grant under the Non-U.S. Plan and a total of 1,221,600 are available for grant under the U.S. Plan.

Adoption of Non-U.S. Stock Option Plan

On July 26, 2005, we adopted, and on July 31, 2006, our stockholders approved, the Sky Petroleum, Inc. Non-U.S. Stock Option Plan, effective as of April 1, 2005. The Non-U.S. Plan authorizes the issuance of stock options to acquire up to 10% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The purpose of the Non-U.S. Plan is to aid us in retaining and attracting Non-U.S. residents that are capable of enhancing our prospects for future success, to offer such personnel additional incentives to exert maximum efforts for the success of our business, and to afford such personnel an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the company through stock options. Our Compensation Committee administers the Non-U.S. Plan and determines the terms and conditions under which options to purchase shares of our common stock may be awarded. The term of an option granted under the Non-U.S. Plan cannot exceed seven years and the exercise price for options granted under the Non-U.S. Plan cannot be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

Adoption of 2005 U.S. Stock Incentive Plan

On August 25, 2005, we adopted, and on July 31, 2006 our stockholders approved, the Sky Petroleum, Inc. 2005 U.S. Stock Incentive Plan for U.S. residents. The U.S. Plan authorizes the issuance of stock options and other awards to acquire up to a maximum of 3,321,600 shares of our common stock (less the number of shares issuable upon exercise of options granted by us under all other stock incentive plans on the date of any grant under the plan). The purpose of the U.S. Plan is to aid the Company in retaining and attracting U.S. personnel capable of enhancing our prospects for future success, to offer such personnel additional incentives to exert maximum efforts for the success of our business, and to afford such personnel an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the company through stock options and other awards. The U.S. Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), options that are not incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights and various other stock-based grants. Our Compensation Committee administers the U.S. Plan and determines the terms and conditions under which options to purchase shares of our common stock or other awards may be granted to eligible participants. The term of an incentive stock option granted under the U.S. Plan cannot exceed ten years and the exercise price for options granted under the U.S. Plan cannot be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

Repurchase of Securities

During the period covered by this Annual Report, neither us nor any of our affiliates repurchased common shares of the Company registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Not applicable.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Risk Factors” above and elsewhere in this Annual Report. See section” Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above.

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and related notes. The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis the Company reviews its estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but the Company does not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Critical accounting policies, the policies the Company believes are most important to the presentation of its financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in the sub-section "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies,” and have not changed significantly.

Overview and Plan of Operations

Comparison of 2013 Statement of Operations to 2012 Statement of Operations

Net Losses:

During the year ended December 31, 2013 we had a net loss of $12,918,008 as compared to a net loss of $1,946,450 during the year ended December 31, 2012 .

We did not generate any revenue from operations in 2013 or 2012.

We do not expect to generate any operating revenue until we complete exploration and development on our properties.

Operating expenses:

Total operating expenses in 2013 of $12,906,438 as compared to total operating expenses of $1,961,853 for 2012, increased in total in 2013 by $10,944,585 or 558% . The operating expenses increased in 2013 primarily attributable to the impairment of Albanian assets of $10,205,220 and increases in travel expenses of $169,706 ( $268,587 in 2013; $98,881 in 2012). This was offset by decreases in other general and administrative expenses of $159,994 ( $485,266 in 2013; $645,260 in 2012) and decreases in consulting fees of $88,181 ( $228,388 in 2013; $316,569 in 2012), and legal and accounting expenses decreased by $123,082 related to the Arbitration matter ( $767,462 in 2013; $890,544 in 2012). We expect operating expenses to decrease in 2014 as our arbitration dispute was decided.

General and administrative expenses may increase if we elect to pursue additional projects or properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A component of our operating plan is the ability to obtain additional capital through additional equity and/or debt financing to fund new projects. We had cash on hand of approximately $277,995 at December 31, 2013 .

The current market conditions could make it difficult or impossible for us to raise necessary funds to meet our capital requirements. If we are unable to obtain financing through equity investments, we will seek alternative financing solutions including, but not limited to, credit facilities, debenture issuances or third party funding of our arbitration.

Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $(1,418,063) as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $(1,143,796) for the comparable period in 2012, an increase of $(274,267) . Cash provided by investing activities in 2013 of $1,500,000 as compared to cash used of $(55,930) in 2012 to purchase fixed assets. Cash from investing activities was $150,000 in 2013 from the private placement proceeds compared to $640,000 in 2012.

Total assets as of December 31, 2013 were $303,499 compared to total assets of $11,962,233 as of December 31, 2012 . Stockholder’s deficit as of December 31, 2013 was $2,101,261 compared to stockholders’ equity of $10,775,216 as of December 31, 2012. The decrease in assets and stockholder’s equity was primarily related to impairment of investment in Albania Oil and Gas and cash outflows for operating expenses.

As of December 31, 2013 we had current assets of $277,995 including cash and cash equivalents of $277,995 . We had current liabilities of $2,404,760 resulting in a working capital deficit of $(2,126,765) as compared to working capital of $531,453 for the same period ended 2012.

Over the next twelve months, we anticipate that our working capital requirements will increase. We anticipate that we will raise additional capital through equity, debt or other securities offerings during 2014 to fund working capital requirements.

On January 8, 2013 the Company obtained loans through the offer of 8% Convertible Promissory Notes due May 8, 2014 (the “Notes”) in the aggregate amount of $150,000 (the “Offering”). The Notes are convertible into shares of common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) at a conversion price of $0.25 per share (the “Conversion Price”) and interest on the Notes is payable in cash or, at the option of the Company, in-kind in Common Shares at the Conversion Price.

Our lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies searching for opportunities in the oil and gas industry. Such risks include, but are not limited to, our ability to secure a drilling rig, our ability to successfully drill for hydrocarbons, commodity price fluctuations, delays in drilling or bringing production, if any, on line, an evolving business model and unpredictable availability of qualified oil and gas exploration prospects and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, implement and successfully execute our business and development plan, successfully identify future drilling locations, continue to rely on qualified independent consultants, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management for each period presented herein. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash, cash equivalents, and accounts payable and accrued expenses because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values as they are payable on demand.

The Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of these financial instruments. The estimated fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair values of financial instruments are based upon quoted market prices, where available (Level 1). If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters (Level 2). Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the customer’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters (Level 3). Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.

Investment in oil and gas properties

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas operations whereby exploration and development expenditures are capitalized. Such costs may include geological and geophysical, drilling, equipment and technical consulting directly related to exploration and development activities. The aggregate of net capitalized costs and estimated future development costs is amortized using the units of production method based on estimated proved oil and gas reserves.

Advances for oil and gas interests are transferred to oil and gas properties as actual exploration and development expenditures are incurred.

Costs related to unproved properties and major development projects may be excluded from costs subject to depletion until proved reserves have been determined or their value is impaired. These properties are assessed periodically and any impairment is transferred to costs subject to depletion.

Under the full cost method of accounting, the net book value of oil and natural gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated "ceiling”. The ceiling limitation is the discounted estimated after-tax future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas properties. In calculating future net cash flows, current prices and costs are generally held constant indefinitely. The net book value of oil and natural gas properties, less related deferred income taxes is compared to the ceiling on a quarterly and annual basis. Any excess of the net book value, less related deferred income taxes, is generally written off as an expense. Under rules and regulations of the SEC, all or a portion of the excess above the ceiling may not be written off if, subsequent to the end of the quarter or year but prior to the release of the financial results, prices have increased sufficiently that all or a portion of such excess above the ceiling would not have existed if the increased prices were used in the calculations.

Revenue is recognized in the period in which title to the petroleum or natural gas transfers to the purchaser.

Income taxes

We follow the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance issued within ASC Topic No. 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when

the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company may be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the foreign countries.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries have prepared required foreign tax returns that were due for the years ended December 31, 2005 through 2012 totaling approximately $33,000 has been included for potential tax liabilities, penalties and interest which will be due upon filing the returns with the appropriate countries.

ASC Topic No. 740 Accounting for Income Taxes which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC Topic No. 740 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This topic provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company adopted this topic as of January 1, 2007, as required.

The current Company policy classifies any interest recognized on an underpayment of income taxes as interest expense and classifies any statutory penalties recognized on a tax position taken as other general and administrative expense. There was no interest or other general and administrative expenses accrued or recognized related to income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company has not taken a tax position that would have a material effect on the financial statements or the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2013 or during any prior years. It is determined not to be reasonably possible for the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

Contractual Obligations

Leases

The Company rented office facilities in Austin, Texas on a month to month basis, totaling approximately $13,000 for the year. The lease terminated on June 30, 2013 due to the resignation of the former Chief Financial Officer.

The Company leased office facilities in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, under a one year operating lease agreement that expired on October 24, 2013, totaling approximately $42,000 for the year.

The Company leases office facilities in Tirana, Albania on a month to month cancelable basis, totaling approximately $36,000 per year. The lease has been terminated as of March 31, 2014.

Oil and Gas Properties Commitments and Contingencies

PSC Arbitration

On May 7, 2013, the Arbitration Tribunal ruled that the PSC was properly terminated on November 17, 2011, and ruled Sky Petroleum to reimburse AKBN for total fees and expenses in connection with the Arbitration proceeding in the amount of EUR 382,774 ($501,511). As a result of the ruling Sky Petroleum impaired Investment in Oil and Gas Properties, net, related to acquisition and development costs for oil and gas projects in Albania to $0, and for the year ended December 31, 2013, Sky Petroleum had an impairment charge of $10,205,220; and accrued a liability of $501,511(EUR 382,774) related to liability arising from the obligation to reimburse AKBN for total fees and expenses in connection with the Arbitration proceeding. (See "Legal Proceedings", above). We have not had sufficient funds to pay this award and have received demands for payment from the Tribunal.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Sky Petroleum, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sky Petroleum, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company will need additional working capital to fund operations. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Sky Petroleum, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As used herein, the terms, “Sky Petroleum,” “Sky,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Sky Petroleum, Inc. and related subsidiaries.

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

The Company was organized on August 22, 2002 under the laws of the State of Nevada, as The Flower Valet. On December 20, 2004 the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Seaside Explorations, Inc. Subsequently, on March 28, 2005 the Company changed its name to Sky Petroleum, Inc ("Sky", "Sky Petroleum", or "Company"). The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries, two incorporated in Cyprus: Sastaro Limited (“Sastaro”) and Bekata Limited (Bekata”) which owns 100% of Sastaro, of which the companies relate to our Mubarek field operations, and a third Sky Petroleum (Albania) Inc., ("Sky Petroleum Albania") a Cayman Islands corporation and qualified branch in Albania, incorporated for the purposes of holding and operating our interests in the Concession Area (as defined below) in Albania. The company owns 100% of Sky Petroleum UK Limited (the "JV Sub"), incorporated in England and Wales which owns 75% of Hyde Resources Limited (the "JV Corporation"). The purpose of the "JV Corporation" is to obtain licenses and to conduct technical, environmental and exploration due diligence; raise capital and commence into one or more joint venture projects (each a “JVC Project”) for the purposes of conducting, Exploration, Development and Commercialization of oil and gas in the Area of Interest.

The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties of others under arrangements in which we finance the costs in exchange for interests in the oil or natural gas revenue generated by the properties. Such arrangements are commonly referred to as farm-ins to us, or farm-outs by the property owners farming out to us.

On June 24, 2010 , Sky entered into a Production Sharing Contract (“PSC”) with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy of Albania, acting through the National Agency of Natural Resources of Albania (“AKBN”). The PSC grants Sky Petroleum exclusive rights to three exploration blocks (Block Four, Block Five and Block Dumre) in the Republic of Albania (the “Concession Area”). The Concession Area covers approximately 1.2 million acres, representing approximately 20% of the landmass of Albania. The PSC has a seven -year term with three exploration periods. Upon commercial discovery of gas, the agreement allows for development and production periods of 25 years plus extensions at the Company's option.

On December 23, 2011 , Sky Petroleum delivered Notice of Arbitration under the Arbitration Rules of the United Nations Commission on Internal Trade Law to National Agency of Natural Resources and to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy of Albania to institute an arbitration proceeding against the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy of Albania, acting by and through AKBN, for breach of the PSC in accordance with Article XXI of the PSC. The arbitration proceeding arises out of the alleged termination of the PSC in breach of the expressed termination provisions in Article 24 of the PSC. See "Contingencies" in Note 7 to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

On May 18, 2005, our wholly owned subsidiary Sastaro entered into a Participation Agreement with Buttes Gas and Oil Co. International Inc. (which we refer to as “Buttes”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crescent Petroleum Company International Limited (which we refer to as “Crescent”) for the financing of a drilling program in the Mubarek field. The field is an offshore region in a concession area surrounding Abu Musa Island in the Arabian Gulf. Under the terms of the Participation Agreement, the Company participated in a share of the future production revenue by contributing $25 million in drilling and completion

costs related to two wells in an off-shore oil and gas project in the United Arab Emirates. The operator of the drilling program, Crescent completed the first well in 2006 and the second well in 2007. As of December 31, 2009, the first well produced a total of 150,413 gross barrels, and the second well produced a total of 149,471 gross barrels. Both wells terminated production in 2009.

On December 31, 2009, Sastaro received written notice from Buttes that Buttes unilaterally and solely determined that the Mubarek Field had reached the end of its economic life. Buttes also notified Sastaro that the Concession Agreement, dated December 29, 1969, between the His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Mohamed Al-Qassimi III, The Ruler of Sharjah, UAE and Buttes with respect to the Mubarek Field was terminated. Buttes stated it handed over the Mubarek Field operations and facilities to representatives of His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Mohamed Al-Qassimi III on December 28, 2009. Management is exercising its rights under the Participation Agreement and intends to protect our interests and our investment in the Mubarek Field. Sky continues to seek discussions with Crescent regarding the Participation Agreement.

The Company cannot be certain that its existing sources of cash will be adequate to meet our liquidity requirements. However, management has implemented plans to improve liquidity through slowing or stopping certain planned expenditures and improvements to results from operations. Management plans to obtain funding through equity, debt or other securities offerings. There can be no assurance that the capital raising efforts will be successful or that our results of operations will materially improve in either the short-term or long-term and accordingly, we may be unable to meet our obligations as they become due.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and stated in US dollars.

Basis of Consolidation

The financial statements present the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bekata, Sastaro and Sky Petroleum (Albania) and Sky Petroleum UK Limited (which owns 75% of Hyde Resources Limited (the "JV Corporation"). All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Nature of Operations

The Company's focus is on the acquisition, development and exploitation of long-lived oil and natural gas reserves and, to a lesser extent, exploration for new oil and natural gas reserves.

Property and Equipment

Oil and natural gas properties:

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for its oil and natural gas producing activities. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and natural gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs, are capitalized. Management and service fees received under contractual arrangements, if any, are treated as reimbursement of costs, offsetting the costs incurred to provide those services.

Depletion is provided using the units-of-production method based upon estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves with oil and natural gas production being converted to a common unit of measure based upon their relative energy content. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the carrying value of the assets is reduced accordingly. Once the assessment of unproved properties is complete and when major development projects are evaluated, the costs previously excluded from amortization are transferred to the full cost pool and amortization begins.

Under the full cost method of accounting, the net book value of oil and natural gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated “ceiling”. The ceiling limitation is the discounted estimated after-tax future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas properties. In calculating future net cash flows, current prices and costs are generally held constant indefinitely. The net book value of oil and natural gas properties, less related deferred income taxes is compared to the ceiling on a quarterly and annual basis. Any excess of the net book value, less related deferred income taxes, is generally written off as an expense. Under rules and regulations of the SEC, all or a portion of the excess above the ceiling may not be written off if, subsequent to the end of the quarter or year but prior to the release of the financial results, prices have increased sufficiently that all or a portion of such excess above the ceiling would not have existed if the increased prices were used in the calculations.

As of December 31, 2013 , the net carrying value of the Company's acquisition and development costs for oil and gas projects in Albania was $0 .

Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as an adjustment of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved oil and natural gas reserves, in which case the gain or loss is recognized.

Other Property and Equipment:

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations. Renewals and betterments are capitalized to the appropriate property and equipment accounts.

Upon retirement or disposition of assets other than oil and natural gas properties, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts with the resulting gains or losses, if any, recognized in income. Depreciation of other property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment.

Income Taxes

We follow the guidance issued within Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic No.740, Income Taxes , for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

Undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been provided thereon. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company may be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the foreign countries.

The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries have prepared required foreign tax returns that were due for the years ended December 31, 2005 through 2012 . The Company has accrued approximately $ 33,000 . This amount includes potential tax liabilities, penalties and interest which will be due upon filing the returns with the appropriate countries.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures all share-based payments, including grants of employee stock options, using a fair-value based method in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic No. 505, Equity, and Topic No. 718 (formerly SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payments . The cost of services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on the grant date fair value of those awards amortized over the requisite service period.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is presented in accordance FASB ASC Topic No. 260, Earnings Per Share . Basic net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the period which included 250,000 shares outstanding and earned but unissued. Common stock equivalents which represent stock options (approximately 2,100,000 stock options) have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive. Convertible debentures (principal and accrued interest) outstanding at December 31, 2013, and 2012 totaling $161,704 and $0 , respectively, were convertible into common stock at a price of $.25 have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no remaining warrants that are outstanding as of December 31, 2013.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

Preparation of the accompanying consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of these financial instruments. The estimated fair value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair values of financial instruments are based upon quoted market prices, where available (Level 1 ). If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters (Level 2 ). Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the customer's creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters (Level 3 ). Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time.

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all demand deposits, money market accounts and certificates of deposit purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

On August 10, 2011 , the Company delivered a bank guarantee in the form of a letter of credit under the terms of the PSC with AKBN. In connection with the bank guarantee, Sky Petroleum deposited the principal balance of the $ 1,500,000 promissory note with Texas Citizens Bank N.A. to secure payment under the letter of credit. Subsequently, $ 1,500,000 was transferred to a certificate of deposit (“CD”) with the issuing bank. The issuing bank has the right of offset with the CD for any amounts used under the letter of credit. As of March 29, 2013 the Letter of Credit had matured and the proceeds were moved to unrestricted cash.

Revenue Recognition

Oil and natural gas revenues are recorded using the sales method, whereby the Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue based on the amount of oil and natural gas sold to purchasers. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any oil or natural gas imbalances recorded. The Company does not recognize revenues until they are realized or realizable and earned. Revenues are considered realized or realizable and earned when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (iii) the seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Note 3 - Investment in Oil and Gas Properties

As of December 31, 2013 the Company's investment in oil and gas properties was zero .

The Company's expenditures related to the Albania exploration blocks consisted of acquisition costs totaling $50,000 , and $700,000 for fees to consultants for locating and negotiating the Company's investment in the Albania exploration blocks, $415,220 for fees related to evaluations and assessments of the concession area, and $50,000 towards the $100,000 allocation for training and education for the first year exploration period. In addition, 3 million shares of common stock with a fair value of $1,170,000 , plus 3,863,636 Preferred Shares Series B with a value of $7,820,000 , were issued to Orsett for expertise

provided to the Company in acquiring and negotiating the acquisition of oil and gas properties.

As a result of the ruling Sky Petroleum impaired Investment in Oil and Gas Properties, net, related to acquisition and development costs for oil and gas projects in Albania to $0 , and for the year ended December 31, 2013, Sky Petroleum had an impairment charge of $10,205,220 ; and accrued a liability of $501,511 (EUR 382,774 ) related to liability arising from the obligation to reimburse AKBN for total fees and expenses in connection with the Arbitration proceeding. As of the date of this Annual Report, the obligation to pay AKBN remains outstanding.

Note 4 – Restricted Cash and Bank Guarantee

The Letter of Credit was effective through February 22, 2013 . The principal under the Letter of Credit shall be reduced every month or three months, as agreed between AKBN and the Company during the First Exploration Period, as defined under the PSC, by an amount equal to the sum spent by the Company on its Work Program obligations, as defined under the PSC, during such month or three months, such reductions to be effected in accordance with monthly or quarterly written statements issued by AKBN to the Company. As of March 29, 2013 the Letter of Credit had matured and the proceeds were moved to unrestricted cash.

Note 5 - Stockholders' Equity

Preferred Stock

We have authorized 10 million shares of $0.001 par value Series A Preferred Stock. There were no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively.

On October 8, 2010 , pursuant to the terms of the Orsett Agreement, dated May 18, 2010 , as amended September 29, 2010 and October 3, 2010 , by and between the Company and Orsett, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada to designate 5,000,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock as shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Shares").

The Series B Preferred Shares are participating with no preferences or voting rights, and shall not be converted by any holder, in whole or in part for a period of twelve months from the date of initial issuance. Each Series B Preferred Share is convertible into 4.4 shares of common stock of the Company, however, the shares may not be converted into more than 4.99% of beneficial ownership unless the holder waives the beneficial ownership limitation with 61 days notice.

In connection with the Series B designation and the Consultant Agreement, the Company issued 3,863,636 shares, with a fair value of $7,820,000 . These shares were issued to the Consultant for expertise provided to the Company in acquiring and negotiating the acquisition of oil and gas properties in Albania. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , 3,863,636 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were outstanding.

On June 25, 2012, the Company issued a stop order notice to its transfer agent under which the transfer agent was instructed to: not to remove the restrictive legends from the share certificates representing the Orsett Shares; not to effect or facilitate the transfer, assignment, conveyance or sale of any of the Orsett Shares; and not to effect the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock of the Corporation, unless the transfer agent receives the expressed written instructions of the Secretary of the Registrant. The Company has determined that Orsett breached numerous terms of the Consulting Agreement and committed other actions that resulted in substantial harm and damage to the Company and its shareholders.

Common Stock and Stock Options

On July 26, 2005 , the Company adopted the Sky Petroleum, Inc. Non-U.S. Stock Option Plan (the “Non-U.S. Plan”), effective as of April 1, 2005 . The Non-U.S. Plan authorizes the issuance of stock options to acquire up to 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

On August 25, 2005 , the Company adopted the Sky Petroleum, Inc. 2005 U.S. Stock Incentive Plan (the “U.S. Plan”). The U.S. Plan authorizes the issuance of stock options and other awards to acquire up to a maximum of 3,321,600 shares of the Company's common stock (less the number of shares issuable upon exercise of options granted by the Company under all other stock incentive plans on the date of any grant under the U.S. Plan). The U.S. Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 , as amended), options that are not incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights and various other stock-based grants.

On June 1, 2012, the Company granted 150,000 shares to an employee. These common shares were valued at $22,500 based on the quoted market price at that date.

On August 19, 2012, the Company granted 150,000 common shares valued at $24,000 to a new Advisory board member. Additionally, on October 11, 2012, the Company granted 100,000 common shares valued at $17,000 to a second Advisory board member. The common shares were all valued based on the quoted market price at date the shares were approved by the Board. The share certificates have been issued. On August 7, 2012, the Company granted 300,000 stock options under the Non-US Plan. The options are exercisable at $0.25 per share with vesting over the next three years and were valued at $ 56,767 .

The 2012 stock options fair value was determined using the following attributes and assumptions for each separate issuance: share prices ranging from $0.05 to $0.18 , risk-free interest rates of approximately 1.55% , expected dividend yields of 0% , expected life of 4 years, and expected volatility of 207% to 291% . The Company estimates forfeitures based on historical experience.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 , the Company recorded $41,531 of compensation expense based on its use of the Black Scholes model to estimate the grant-date fair value of these stock option awards. No options were exercised for the year ended December 31, 2013 . Compensation expense is based upon straight-line amortization of the grant-date fair value over the vesting period of the underlying stock option. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic No. 718 and No. 505, the fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of the grant, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As of December 31, 2013 , there was approximately $49,397 unrecognized compensation expenses related to non-vested stock option agreements.

A summary of stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2013 , is as follows:

Note 6 - Income Taxes

For the year ended December 31, 2013 the Company had net operating losses and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At December 31, 2013 , the Company has accumulated operating losses totaling approximately $ 60.0 million . The net operating loss carry forwards will begin to expire in 2020 if not utilized. The Company has recorded net operating losses in each year since its inception through December 31, 2013 . Based upon all available objective evidence, including the Company’s loss history, management believes it is more likely than not that, the net deferred assets will not be fully realized. Therefore, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Non-current deferred tax assets were as follows for the dates ended below:



	December 31,
	2013		2012
Net operating loss carryfowards	16,339,012		12,013,183

Net non-current deferred tax asset	—		—

All of the Company’s oil and gas properties are located offshore off the coast of Sharjah, UAE and in Albania, and there are no income taxes due as no earnings or dividends were distributed or repatriated.

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries have prepared the required foreign tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2005 through December 31, 2008 . Foreign taxes have been estimated at approximately $ 33,000 for tax years 2005 through 2008 , however, we do not believe that we will be required to pay these. Management has engaged qualified firms to identify and prepare foreign tax returns for filing for the years ended December 31, 2005 through 2012. The Company believes amounts due, if any, would not be material due to changes in Cyprus tax laws during those periods, and due to net operating losses from foreign operations carried forward .

Reconciliation between the income tax benefit determined by applying the applicable Federal statutory income tax rate to the pre-tax loss is as follows for the period indicated:



	Year Ended December 31,

We have not had sufficient funds to pay this award and have received demands for payment from the Tribunal.

Note 8 - Related Party Transactions

On January 8, 2013, Mark Rachovides, Director with the Company, gave proceeds in the amount of $150,000 for a convertible promissory note at 8% to mature on January 8, 2014. The note converts to 600,000 shares of Common Stock of SKPI. Subsequent to year-end, the note was extended to May 8, 2014.

The Company also owes various amounts to other related parties of $221,504 and $72,878 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Note 9 - Supplemental Financial Information for Oil and Gas Producing Activities (unaudited)

The Company follows the guidelines prescribed in ASC Topic No. 932 for computing a standardized measure of future net cash flows and changes therein relating to estimated proved reserves. Future cash inflows and future production and development costs are determined by applying prices and costs, including transportation, quality, and basis differentials, to the year-end estimated quantities of oil and gas to be produced in the future. The resulting future net cash flows are reduced to present value amounts by applying a ten percent annual discount factor. Future operating costs are determined based on estimates of expenditures to be incurred in producing the proved oil and gas reserves in place at the end of the period using year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions, plus Company overhead incurred. Future development costs are determined based on estimates of capital expenditures to be incurred in developing proved oil and gas reserves.

The assumptions used to compute the standardized measure are those prescribed by the FASB and the SEC. These assumptions do not necessarily reflect the Company's expectations of actual revenues to be derived from those reserves, nor their present value. The limitations inherent in the reserve quantity estimation process, as discussed previously, are equally applicable to the standardized measure computations since these reserve quantity estimates are the basis for the valuation process. The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries and undeveloped locations are more imprecise than estimates of established proved producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

There have been no disagreements between the Company and its accountants regarding any matter or accounting principles or practice or financial statement disclosures.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Annual Report an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Interim Principal Executive Officer and Interim Principal Accounting Officer , of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(e) and Rule 15d - 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation the Principal Executive and Accounting Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are adequately designed and effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness in future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports, our operating results could be harmed. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weakness identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any related financial disclosure, nor does management believe that it had any effect on the accuracy of the Company’s financial statements for the current reporting period. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness relates to the monitoring and review of work performed by our Chief Financial Officer and/or accounting consultant in the preparation of audit and financial statements, footnotes and financial data provided to the Company’s registered public accounting firm in connection with the annual audit. All of our financial reporting is carried out by our Interim Principal Accounting Officer and/or accounting consultant. This lack of accounting staff results in a lack of segregation of duties and accounting technical expertise necessary for an effective system of internal control. All unexpected results are investigated. At any time, if it appears that any control can be implemented to continue to mitigate such weaknesses, it is immediately implemented. As soon as our finances allow, we will hire sufficient accounting staff and implement appropriate procedures for monitoring and review of work performed by our Chief Financial Officer and accounting consultant. Because of the material weakness described above, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO’).

The Company has adopted a formal written Board resolution addressing the nomination process and such related matters as may be required under federal securities laws.

Diversity of the Board

The Company does not have a formal policy regarding diversity in the selection of nominees for directors. The Board does however consider diversity as part of its overall selection strategy. In considering diversity of the Board as a criteria for selecting nominees, the Corporate Board takes into account various factors and perspectives, including differences of viewpoint, professional experience, education, skills and other individual qualities and attributes that contribute to Board heterogeneity, as well as race, gender and national origin. The Board seeks persons with leadership experience in a variety of contexts and, among public company leaders, across a variety of industries. The Board believes that this expansive conceptualization of diversity is the most effective means to implement Board diversity. The Board will assess the effectiveness of this approach as part of its annual assessment of the performance of the Board.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a corporate code of ethics administered by our former corporate secretary, Michael D. Noonan who resigned as of September 30, 2013 and replaced by Karim Jobanputra. We believe our code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct, to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports, to comply with applicable laws, to ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations, and to provide accountability for adherence to the code. Our code of ethics provides written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:


•	Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;


•	Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the Commission and in other public communications made by an issuer;


•	Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;


•	The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and


•	Accountability for adherence to the code.

Our Code of Ethics is available at our website at www.skypetroleum.com. We intend to disclose any waiver from a provision of our code of ethics that applies to any of our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions that relates to any element of our code of ethics on our website. No waivers were granted from the requirements of our Code of Ethics during the year ended December 31, 2012, or during the subsequent period from January 1, 2013, through the date of this Annual Report.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, requires the Company’s officers, directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Company’s common stock (“10% stockholders”), to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Such officers, directors and 10% stockholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely upon our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all of these filing requirements were satisfied by our officers, directors, and 10% stockholders in 2013.
