1	Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies and methods followed in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are those used by American Natural Energy Corporation (the “Company”) as described in Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not conform in all respects to the disclosure and information that is required for annual consolidated financial statements. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for fair statement have been included in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014.

Reclassification of Prior Period Statements

Certain reclassifications of prior period consolidated financial statement balances have been made to conform to current reporting practices.

2	Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company currently has a severe shortage of working capital and funds to pay its liabilities. The Company has no current borrowing capacity with any lender. The Company incurred a net loss of $7,552,986 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company has a working capital deficit of $8,651,108 and an accumulated deficit of $34,246,346 at September 30, 2014 which leads to substantial doubt concerning the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company also has a need for substantial funds to develop its oil and gas properties and repay borrowings as well as to meet its other current liabilities.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As a result of the losses incurred and current negative working capital, there is no assurance that the carrying amounts of assets will be realized or that liabilities will be liquidated or settled for the amounts recorded. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon adequate sources of capital and the Company’s ability to sustain positive results of operations and cash flows sufficient to continue to explore for and develop its oil and gas reserves and pay its obligations.

American Natural Energy Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2014 and 2013

Management’s strategy has been to obtain additional financing or industry partners. It is management’s intention to raise additional debt or equity financing to fund its operations and capital expenditures or to enter into another transaction in order to maximize shareholder value. Failure to obtain additional financing can be expected to adversely affect the Company’s ability to pay its obligations, further the development of its properties, grow revenues, oil and gas reserves and achieve and maintain a significant level of revenues, cash flows, and profitability. There can be no assurance that the Company will obtain this additional financing at the time required, at rates that are favorable to the Company, or at all. Further, any additional equity financing that is obtained may result in material dilution to the current holders of common stock.

On June 30, 2013, the Company extended the maturity date of note payable to Leede Financial to December 31, 2013. The other terms of the note payable remain unchanged.

September 30, 2014 and 2013

On April 14, 2014 the Company entered into a loan agreement with Pinon Energy providing for an advance of $250,000 to be used for working capital purposes. The loan was payable upon the earlier of a re-financing of the Company’s secured debt or August 14, 2014 in the amount of $268,000 plus interest at a rate of 12% per annum. The note and all interest totaling $274,799 were paid on July 7, 2014. Pinon Energy also received 250,000 shares of Company common stock as additional interest.

On June 24, 2014, the Company entered into a $989,751 note payable with Louisiana Oil Properties, Inc. together with simple interest at 4% per annum due on or before October 31, 2014. This promissory note was the result of a settlement of disputed revenue payables resulting in a gain recognized by the Company of $2,052,451.

The Company entered into a financing agreement with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP during the first quarter of 2012. Proceeds of the financing are to be used for the drilling and completion of wells included in the Company’s inventory of Proved Undeveloped reserves (“PUD”). The Company has a commitment for a total amount of $3 million, before fees and expenses, through the issuance of a series of $1 million debentures. The debenture is secured by a first priority, perfected security interest and mortgage in oil and gas leases and properties. At no time shall the investor funds exceed 65% of the drilling and completion cost of the PUD’s with the balance provided by the Company’s generated funds.

On January 29, 2014, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement with TCA Global Credit Master Fund LP. The amendment provides for interest only payments pursuant to existing amended and restated debenture for the month of December 2013, that all previous outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest, an accommodation fee $200,000 for entering into this sixth Amendment and all outstanding Redemption Premium fees comprised the agreed upon outstanding amount of $2,196,609.

The Company evaluated the amendment under FASB ASC 470-50 and determined that the modification was substantial and qualified as a debt extinguishment. The additional $200,000 accommodation fee and the remaining unamortized debt discount of $208,490 and were recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, payments totaling $645,211 were made to TCA debts. Prior to the sixth amendment, $47,533 of debt discount were amortized.

Prior to July 3, 2014, TCA Global Credit Master Fund LP (“TCA”) assigned to Hillair Capital Investments, LP (“Hillair”), the Second Replacement, Amended and Restated Senior Secured Redeemable Debenture, with a current principal amount of $1,753,600 ($1,651,399 principle and $102,262 in interest) issued to TCA by the Company as of June 28, 2013 (the “Amended Debenture”), along with certain mortgages, dated as of December 29, 2011 and September 4, 2012, and as filed in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana (the “Mortgages”).

September 30, 2014 and 2013

On July 3, 2014 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Hillair Purchase Agreement") with Hillair Capital Investments, LP ("Hillair"), pursuant to which the Company (i) issued to Hillair an 8% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debenture (the “OID Debenture”) in the principal amount of $835,899 convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.10 per share (subject to adjustment therein); and (ii) issued to Hillair 28,000,000 Series A Common Stock purchase Warrants exercisable for 5 years at $0.12 per share (subject to adjustment therein) and 19,641,002 Series B Common Stock purchase Warrants exercisable for 2 years at $0.10 per share (subject to adjustment therein). Of the $835,899 only $611,232 was received in cash by the company after the OID and other financing fees. The lender paid $44,997 in deferred financing costs directly to other parties.

The Company evaluated the conversion feature and warrants and determined that it should be accounted for as derivative liabilities based on a reset provision clause that allows the conversion or exercise price of the instruments to be adjusted for any sale of common stock at a lower price than the existing price.

The Company evaluated the transaction under FASB ASC 470-50 and FASB ASC 470-60 and concluded the revised terms constituted a debt extinguishment, rather than a debt modification or a troubled debt restructuring. The fair value of the warrants issued along with the fees paid directly to Hillair were recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt of $817,396, of which $727,286 was the fair value of the warrants issued to Hillair. The fair value of the conversion feature of $132,428 was recorded as a debt discount to the loan.

The Company’s obligations under the OID Debenture are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gothic Resources, Inc. (“Gothic”) pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement, dated as of July 3, 2014 (the “Security Agreement”), and Gothic has guaranteed the performance of the Company’s obligations under the terms of a Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement executed by Gothic on the same date (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”).

September 30, 2014 and 2013

Pursuant to the Hillair Purchase Agreement and until the 12 month anniversary of the closing on the OID Debenture, Hillair may purchase from the Company additional Debentures with an aggregate subscription amount of up to $2,500,000 (for a principal amount of $2,800,000) and up to 28,000,000 Series A Warrants and 19,641,002 Series B Warrants consistent with the terms set forth above.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 the company recorded a total debt discount of $221,989 ($89,561 OID and $132,428 from the embedded conversion feature) and recorded amortization of $81,794.

Deferred Financing Costs

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company paid in cash $200,919, issued stock at a fair value of $52,500 and the lender paid $44,997 directly to the other parties for deferred financing costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, amortization of the deferred financing costs totaled $59,175 and 145,661, respectively.

4	Convertible Debentures

On December 31, 2012, the Company sold a $1 million 12% unsecured convertible debt due December 31, 2014 to Palo Verde Acquisitions LLC. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had received consideration of $500,000 related to this debt. In January 2013, the Company collected the remaining debt proceeds of $500,000 related to the $1,000,000 convertible Palo Verde debt issued on December 31, 2012. On July 1, 2014, the due date of the convertible debt was extended to January 2, 2016 with all accrued and unpaid interest totaling $639,123 being added to the outstanding principal amount. The Company evaluated the application of ASC 470-50 and ASC 470-60 and concluded that the revised terms constituted a debt modification rather than a debt extinguishment or a troubled debt restructuring. The Company amortized $530,769 of debt discount during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

On August 14, 2013, the exchange that the Company was listed on allowed for stock transactions to be entered into at a price lower than $0.10 per share. At this date, this triggered derivative accounting based on a reset provision clause that allowed the conversion price of the instruments to be adjusted for any sale of common stock at a lower price than the existing conversion price. The initial derivative liability on the conversion feature was $627,478 and was recorded as a day 1 reduction of additional paid-in-capital.

5	Common Stock

On July 18, 2014 the Company issued a total 2,875,000 shares of its common stock. 2,625,000 shares, valued at $52,500, were in payment of financing fees and 250,000 shares, valued at $2,500, were in consideration of interest.

6	Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Derivatives

As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based upon observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement), pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, but are either directly or indirectly observable and are valued using models or other valuation methodologies (level 2 measurement), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). There were no changes in valuation techniques or reclassifications of fair value measurements between levels 1, 2 or 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The carrying values of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities represent the estimated fair value due to the short-term nature of the accounts.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s non-current derivative liabilities, which are related to common shares issuable pursuant to convertible debentures and to warrants issued in connection with those debentures, were estimated using a various option pricing model utilizing assumptions related to the contractual term of the instruments, estimated volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, interest rates, among other items (ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) fair value hierarchy Level 3). A comparison of the assumptions used in calculating estimated fair value of derivative liabilities at the issue date and as of September 30, 2014 is as follows:

		Upon		September 30,
		Issuance		2014

Fair Value Measurements

As required by ASC 820, financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following table summarizes the valuation of our investments and financial instruments by ASC 820 pricing levels as of September 30, 2014:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

We currently are experiencing a severe shortage of working capital and funds to pay our liabilities. We have no current borrowing capacity with any lender. We incurred a net loss of $7,553,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and a net loss of $3,147,000 and $3,318,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. We have a working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2014 which leads to substantial doubt concerning our ability to meet our obligations as they come due. We also have a need for substantial funds to develop our oil and gas properties and repay borrowings as well as to meet our other current liabilities.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements in this Report have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes an explanatory paragraph which states that we have sustained a substantial loss in 2013 and have a working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2013 that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of our losses incurred and current negative working capital, there is no assurance that the carrying amounts of assets will be realized or that liabilities will be liquidated or settled for the amounts recorded. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon adequate sources of capital and our ability to sustain positive results of operations and cash flows sufficient to continue to explore for and develop our oil and gas reserves and pay our obligations.

A Comparison of Operating Results For The Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013

We recorded a net loss of $8,031,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a net loss of $859,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, our revenues were comprised of oil and gas sales totaling $380,000 compared with oil and gas sales of $841,000 during the same period of 2013. Oil and gas prices decreased as well as production for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013. Our net average daily production for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 decreased by 50% over the same period of the prior year, from 82 net barrels of oil equivalent per day to 41 net barrels of oil equivalent per day. The weighted average price was $99.99 per barrel of oil equivalent for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $111.03 per barrel of oil equivalent for the same period in 2013. Production from our existing wells is subject to fluctuation based upon which zones of wells are in production.

We had operating expenses of $676,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to operating expenses of $1,130,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Our general and administrative expenses were $331,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $336,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $5,000.

Interest and financing costs decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 at $490,000 and $583,000 respectively. Interest and financing costs were lower in the third quarter of 2014 due to lower amortization of note discounts and deferred financing costs and increased debt. Loss on embedded derivatives for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $6,427,146 with no comparable loss in the same period in 2013.

Lease operating expenses of $179,000, production taxes of $18,000 and depletion, depreciation and amortization of $165,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 changed from $227,000, $93,000, and $245,000, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2014. Lease operating expenses were lower for the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 due to decreased production. Production taxes decreased for the third quarter of 2014 as a result of decreased production. The decrease in depletion, depreciation and amortization for the third quarter of 2014 is a result of decreased production.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we had a foreign exchange gain of $16,000 compared to a $229,000 foreign exchange loss for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Our foreign exchange gains and losses arise out of an inter-company indebtedness we owe to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Gothic, which is payable in Canadian dollars, in addition to a note owed to a third party denominated in Canadian dollars. The foreign exchange gain for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was caused by the strengthening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar. The gain related to the note denominated in Canadian dollars was $16,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014

A Comparison of Operating Results For The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013

We recorded net loss of $7,553,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a net loss of $1,465,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our revenues were comprised of oil and gas sales totaling $1,425,000 compared with oil and gas sales of $2,714,000 during the same period of 2013. Oil and gas prices and production decreased for the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the same period of 2013. Our net average daily production for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 decreased by 44% over the same period of the prior year, from 91 net barrels of oil equivalent per day to 51 net barrels of oil equivalent per day. Oil and gas prices decreased for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 over the same period of the prior year. The weighted average price was $102.52 and $108.51 per barrel of oil equivalent for the nine months ended 2014 and 2013 respectively. Production from our existing wells is subject to fluctuation based upon which zones of wells are in production.

We had operating expenses of $2,093,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to operating expenses of $2,584,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our general and administrative expenses were $979,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1,193,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. General and administrative expenses were higher for the period ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to higher professional fees and higher payroll expense.

Interest and financing costs decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 at $1,284,000 and $1,594,000 respectively. Interest and financing costs were lower in the first three quarters of 2014 primarily as a result of lower amortization of note discounts. Loss on embedded derivatives for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $6,427,146 with no comparable loss in the same period in 2013.

Lease operating expenses of $460,000, production taxes of $99,000 and depletion, depreciation and amortization of $570,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 changed from $743,000, $270,000, and $841,000, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Lease operating expenses were lower for the first three quarters of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 due to decreased production. Production taxes decreased for the first three quarters of 2014 as a result of decreased production. The decrease in depletion, depreciation and amortization for the first three quarters of 2014 is a result of decreased production.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we had a foreign exchange gain of $15,000 compared to a $463,000 foreign exchange gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our foreign exchange gains and losses arise out of an inter-company indebtedness we owe to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Gothic, which is payable in Canadian dollars, in addition to a note owed to a third party denominated in Canadian dollars. The foreign exchange gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was caused by the strengthening of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar. The gain related to the note denominated in Canadian dollars was $15,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 we also amended the loan with TCA which qualified as debt extinguishment and $408,000 was recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment. Additionally, the TCA debt was acquired by Hillair Capital resulting in an additional loss on extinguishment of $817,396. We recorded a gain of $2,052,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as the result of the settlement of disputed revenue payables to a royalty owner. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 we also extended the repayment terms and rights on a related party note which qualified as debt extinguishment. The additional rights were valued at $39,953 and were recorded as a loss on debt extinguishment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

To date, our production has not been sufficient to fund our operations and drilling program. At September 30, 2014, we do not have any available borrowing capacity and have negative working capital of approximately $8.7 million.

We have substantial need for capital to develop our oil and gas prospects. Since 2001, we have funded our capital expenditures and operating activities through a series of debt and equity capital-raising transactions, drilling participations and through an increase in vendor payables and notes payable. We expect any future capital expenditures for drilling and development to be funded from the sale of drilling participations and equity capital. It is management's plan to raise additional capital through the sale of interests in our drilling activities or other strategic transaction; however, we currently have no firm commitment from any potential investors and such additional capital may not be available to us in the future.

A Comparison of Cash Flow For The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013

Our net cash provided by operating activities was $343,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $140,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $483,000. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due to an increase in working capital of $1,204,000 and a decrease in net loss of $6,088,000 and offset by an increase in noncash items of $5,368,000. Changes in working capital items had the effect of increasing cash flows from operating activities by $1,001,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 mainly due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $918,000 and along with an increase in accounts receivable and other current assets of $83,000. Changes in working capital items had the effect of decreasing cash flows from operating activities by $203,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to an increase in accounts receivable and other current assets of $17,000 along with a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $186,000.

We used $47,000 of net cash in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to net cash used of $131,000 in 2013. The cash used in investing in 2014 and 2013 was for the purchase and development of oil and gas properties.

Our net cash used in financing activities was $379,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to net cash provided of $243,000 for the same period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net cash outflows from financing activities were a result of the issuance of notes of $861,000 offset by payments against outstanding notes of $1,039,000, of which $45,000 was to related parties, and payments of deferred financing costs of $201,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash inflows from financing activities were a result of the issuance of notes, net of fees, of $2,254,000, of which $505,000 was to related parties, offset by payments against outstanding notes of $1,886,000, of which $74,000 was to related parties, and payments of deferred financing costs of $125,000.

We have no other commitments to expend additional funds for drilling activities for the rest of 2014.

How We Have Financed Our Activities

Our activities since 2002 have been financed primarily from sales of debt and equity securities and drilling participations. These transactions during this period of time included the following, among other previously reported financing transactions we entered into during the period:

We entered into a financing agreement with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP during the first quarter of 2012. Proceeds of the financing were used for the drilling and completion of wells included in the Company’s inventory of proved undeveloped reserves (“PUD”). We have a commitment for a total amount of $3.0 million, before fees and expenses, through the issuance of a series of $1.0 million debentures. The debenture is secured by a first priority, perfected security interest and mortgage in oil and gas leases and properties. At no time shall the investor funds advanced exceed 65% of the drilling and completion cost of the PUD’s with the balance provided by our generated funds. During the year ended December 31, 2012, three tranches of TCA debt totaling $3 million were issued. The total note principal balance of TCA debts and related unamortized debt discounts on December 31, 2012 are $1,608,973 and $186,791, respectively.

In March 2013, the fourth tranche TCA debt of $1 million was issued. The debt is due on March 1, 2014 and is payable monthly with a mandatory redemption fee equal to 10% and interest of 5%. Out of $1 million debt proceeds, $500,000 was withheld for the future development of wells, $55,550 was paid to TCA for various fees, and net proceeds of $944,450 were received by the Company. In July 2013 an additional tranche of $750,000 was drawn by the Company under the same terms with net proceeds of $705,825 received by the Company after the payment of fees.

The Company also agreed to pay TCA $100,000 in cash in lieu of a stock bonus related to the issuance of the note. Fees paid and to be paid in cash totaling $155,550 to TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP were recorded as a debt discount.

In July 2013, the fifth tranche TCA debt of $750,000 was issued. The debt is due on August 1, 2014 and is payable monthly with a mandatory redemption fee equal to 10% and interest of 5%. Fees totaling $44,175 were paid with net proceeds of $705,825 received by the Company. Along with the issuance of the fifth tranche TCA debt, the Company combined all the outstanding TCA debts into one debt by entering into an amended debt agreement with TCA. The amended debt has a principal of $2,290,548, accrues interest at 5% per annum, and is due on August 1, 2014. From August 1, 2013 through November we paid the amended TCA debt in monthly installments of $230,451.

On July 31, 2012, we received final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange for the issuance of 7,000,000 shares of our common stock in a private placement. All such shares were sold at $0.06 in the private placement, resulting in gross proceeds of $420,000.

On August 13, 2012, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Palo Verde Acquisitions, LLC (“Palo Verde”), pursuant to which we sold to Palo Verde (1) a $2,000,000 12% unsecured Convertible Debenture due August 13, 2014 (the “First Palo Verde Debenture”) and (2) warrants to purchase up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.23 per share and expiring on August 13, 2014. The aggregate consideration received by us from Palo Verde for the First Palo Verde Debenture and the 20 million warrants was $2,000,000.

On December 31, 2012, we sold to Palo Verde (1) a $1,000,000 12% unsecured Convertible Debenture due December 31, 2014 (the “Second Palo Verde Debenture”) and (2) warrants to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.23 per share and expiring on December 31, 2014. The aggregate consideration received by us from Palo Verde for the Second Palo Verde Debenture and the 10 million warrants was $1,000,000. On July 1, 2014, the due date of the convertible debt was extended to January 2, 2016.

On July 3, 2014 we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Hillair Purchase Agreement") with Hillair Capital Investments, LP ("Hillair"), pursuant to which we (i) issued to Hillair an 8% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Debenture (the “OID Debenture”) in the principal amount of $835,899 convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.10 per share (subject to adjustment therein); and (ii) issued to Hillair 28,000,000 Series A Common Stock purchase Warrants exercisable for 5 years at $0.12 per share (subject to adjustment therein) and 19,641,002 Series B Common Stock purchase Warrants exercisable for 2 years at $0.10 per share (subject to adjustment therein) .

Prior to July 3, 2014, TCA Global Credit Master Fund LP (“TCA”) assigned to Hillair the Second Replacement, Amended and Restated Senior Secured Redeemable Debenture, with a current principal amount of $1,753,600 issued to TCA by us as of June 28, 2013 (the “Amended Debenture”), along with certain mortgages, dated as of December 29, 2011 and September 4, 2012, and as filed in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana (the “Mortgages”). On July 3, 2014, we and Hillair also entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”), amending the Amended Debenture by (i) increasing the interest rate to 16% per annum, (ii) extending the maturity date to January 1, 2016 and (iii) revising the monthly principal payments to be quarterly principal payments.

Our obligations under the OID Debenture are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gothic Resources, Inc. (“Gothic”) pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement, dated as of July 3, 2014 (the “Security Agreement”), and Gothic has guaranteed the performance of the Company’s obligations under the terms of a Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement executed by Gothic on the same date (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”). In addition, our obligations to the OID Debenture and the Amended Debenture are secured by the Mortgage Documents.

Interest on the Amended Debenture and on the OID Debenture is payable by us on a quarterly basis commencing January 1, 2015. Principal on the Amended Debenture and on the OID

Debenture is payable quarterly commencing on March 1, 2015 with both debentures maturing on January 1, 2016. We may prepay the Amended Debenture with a 3 day notice. Subject to the Equity Conditions set forth in the OID Debenture, the OID Debenture is redeemable at any time after the 6 month anniversary of the OID Debenture at 120% of the outstanding principal balance.

At any time prior to the payment of the OID Debenture in full, Hillair may elect, in its sole discretion, to convert all or part of the principal amount of the OID Debenture into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of US$0.10 per share (subject to adjustment therein). The OID Debenture contains customary adjustment provisions for certain corporate events, such as the payment of stock dividends and stock splits. The OID Debenture also contains customary events of default.

Pursuant to the Hillair Purchase Agreement and until the 12 month anniversary of the closing on the OID Debenture, Hillair may purchase from us additional Debentures with an aggregate subscription amount of up to $2,500,000 (for a principal amount of $2,800,000) and up to 28,000,000 Series A Warrants and 19,641,002 Series B Warrants consistent with the terms set forth above.

We also reached agreement with Palo Verde Acquisitions LLC to extend the maturity of its 12% convertible debenture in the amount of $2 million and its 12% convertible debenture in the amount of $1 million until January 2, 2016 with all accrued and unpaid interest to date being added to the outstanding principal amount. The conversion price of $0.10 remains unchanged.

Additionally, the expiration date of warrants held by Palo Verde was extended to January 2, 2018 and the exercise price reduced to $0.12 per share.

At September 30, 2014, we do not have any available borrowing capacity under existing credit facilities and our current assets are $441,000 compared with current liabilities of $7.8 million. Our current liabilities include accounts payable, revenues payable, notes payable (a portion of which is past due), and other current obligations. We have substantial needs for funds to pay our outstanding payables and debt due during 2014. In addition, we have substantial need for capital to develop our oil and gas prospects. At September 30, 2014, we have no commitments for additional capital to fund drilling activities in 2014.

Since 2001, we have funded our capital expenditures and operating activities through a series of debt and equity capital-raising transactions, drilling participations and, during the last two quarters of 2004 and all of 2005 and 2006, through an increase in vendor payables and notes payable. It is our intention to raise additional capital through the sale of interests in our drilling activities or other strategic transaction; however, we currently have no firm commitment from any potential investors and such additional capital may not be available to us in the future. We expect that any capital expenditures for drilling purposes during 2014 will be funded from the sale of drilling participations and equity capital.

Our business strategy requires us to obtain additional financing and our failure to do so can be expected to adversely affect our ability to grow our revenues, oil and gas reserves and achieve and maintain a significant level of revenues and profitability. There can be no assurance we will obtain this additional funding. Such funding may be obtained through the sale of drilling participations, joint ventures, equity securities or by incurring additional indebtedness. Without such funding, our revenues will continue to be limited and it can be expected that our operations will not be profitable. In addition, any additional equity funding that we obtain may result in material dilution to the current holders of our common stock.

Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

With the exception of historical matters, the matters we discussed below and elsewhere in this Report are “forward-looking statements” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that involve risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements appear in various places including under the headings Item 1. Financial Statements and Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation. These risks and uncertainties relate to

	-	our ability to raise capital and fund our oil and gas well drilling and development plans,
	-	our ability to fund the repayment of our current liabilities, and
	-	our ability to negotiate and enter into any agreement relating to a merger or sale of all or substantially all our assets.

These risks and uncertainties also relate to our ability to attain and maintain profitability and cash flow and continue as a going concern, our ability to increase our reserves of oil and gas through successful drilling activities and acquisitions, our ability to enhance and maintain production from existing wells and successfully develop additional producing wells, our access to debt and equity capital and the availability of joint venture development arrangements, our ability to remain in compliance with the terms of any agreements pursuant to which we borrow money and to repay the principal and interest when due, our estimates as to our needs for additional capital and the times at which additional capital will be required, our expectations as to our sources for this capital and funds, our ability to successfully implement our business strategy, our ability to maintain compliance with covenants of our loan documents and other agreements pursuant to which we issue securities or borrow funds and to obtain waivers and amendments when and as required, our ability to borrow funds or maintain levels of borrowing availability under our borrowing arrangements, our ability to meet our intended capital expenditures, our statements and estimates about quantities of production of oil and gas as it implies continuing production rates at those levels, proved reserves or borrowing availability based on proved reserves and our future net cash flows and their present value.

Readers are cautioned that the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and other reports filed with the Commission, as well as those described elsewhere in this Report, in some cases have affected, and in the future could affect, our business plans and actual results of operations and could cause our actual consolidated results during 2014 and beyond, to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on our behalf.

Any future trading prices of our common shares will depend on many factors, including, among others, our operating results and the market for similar securities.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) information required to be disclosed by us in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure by us; and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. In our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2013, we concluded there were material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting which we viewed as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures. See our discussion at “Item 9A (T) - Controls and Procedures” on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

In order to mitigate these material weaknesses to the fullest extent possible, all financial reports are reviewed by the CEO and CFO. 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 staff and implement appropriate procedures to address the segregation of duties and improve the closing process.

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or that are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
