RICHFIELD OIL & GAS COMPANY

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Richfield Oil & Gas Company (the “Company,” “Richfield” or “ROIL”) is a Nevada corporation headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah which was incorporated on April 8, 2011. The Company is engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas in the states of Kansas, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming. The Company’s common stock trades on the OTCQX under the symbol “ROIL”.

Contemporaneously with ROIL’s incorporation, the Company merged (the “HPI Merger”) with its predecessor company, Hewitt Petroleum, Inc., a Delaware corporation which was incorporated on May 17, 2008 (“HPI”). In connection with the HPI Merger, HPI was merged out of existence and the Company assumed all of the assets and liabilities of HPI and the Company became the parent company of HPI’s two wholly owned subsidiaries, Hewitt Energy Group, Inc., a Texas corporation (“HEGINC”) and Hewitt Operating, Inc., a Utah corporation (“HOPIN”). The Plan of Merger required that all HPI common stock be exchanged on a one-for-one basis for ROIL common stock and that ROIL assume all of the liabilities of HPI as of the effective date of the HPI Merger. As a result, the Company’s historical financial statements are a continuation of the financial statements of HPI. In addition, effective March 31, 2011, HPI entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with Freedom Oil & Gas, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Freedom”), which called for the exchange of stock in HPI for all of the outstanding stock of Freedom (the “Freedom Acquisition”). Upon completion of the Freedom Acquisition, it became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company from March 31, 2011 until June 20, 2011 when Freedom was merged into ROIL with ROIL being the surviving entity.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, HEGINC, HOPIN and HR Land. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company has been involved in leasing, exploring and drilling in Kansas, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming since its formation. The Company is participating in over 39,000 acres of leasehold, seismic surveys, and numerous drilling projects in these states. The Company uses proven technologies and drilling and production methods that are both efficient and environmentally sound.

NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred substantial losses from operations causing negative working capital, in that current liabilities exceed current assets, and the Company has negative operating cash flows, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company sustained a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $3,736,801 and a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $7,993,196, and has an accumulated deficit of $34,941,808 as of June 30, 2013.

The Company intends to make its planned capital expenditures in order to continue its drilling programs, but does not have sufficient realized revenues or operating cash flows in order to finance these activities internally. As a result, the Company intends to seek financing in order to fund its working capital and capital expenditure needs.

The Company has been able to meet its short-term needs through loans from officers and third parties; sales of working interest in its oil and gas properties; and private placements of equity securities. The Company may seek additional funding through sales of working interest in its oil and gas properties; the issuance of debt; preferred stock; common stock; or a combination of these items. Any proceeds received from these items could provide the needed funds for continued operations and drilling programs. The Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to obtain sufficient additional financing that it needs to develop its properties and alleviate doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is able to obtain sufficient additional financing proceeds, the Company cannot be certain that this additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, the Company’s stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact the Company’s ability to conduct business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The financial statements included herein were prepared from the records of the Company in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and S-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information, have been included. However, operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. The Company’s annual report on Form 10-K includes certain definitions and a summary of significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of oil and gas reserves, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company evaluates its estimates on an on-going basis and bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, the Company believes that its estimates are reasonable. The Company’s activities are accounted for under the successful efforts method.

Loss Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding (if dilutive) during each period. Potential common shares include common shares to be issued related to warrants outstanding, convertible debentures, stock options, and stock pending issue under the ratchet provision. The number of potential common shares outstanding is computed using the treasury stock method.

As the Company has incurred losses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive and are thus not added into the loss per share calculations. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, there were 9,404,469 and 3,500,086 potentially dilutive shares, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net loss, statements of cash flows, working capital or equity previously reported.

Financial Instruments and Concentration of Risks

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of their immediate or short-term maturities.

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable result from oil and gas sales and joint interest billings (“JIBs”) to third parties in the oil and gas industry. This concentration of customers and joint interest owners may impact the Company’s overall credit risk in that these entities may be similarly affected by changes in economic and other conditions. As of June 30, 2013, 64% of the accounts receivable balance resulted from three entities. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, 98% of the revenues resulted from producing wells in Kansas, and for the six months ended June 30 2012, all of the revenues resulted from producing wells in Kansas.

NOTE 8 ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

FASB ASC 410 requires that an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable. Under this method, when liabilities for dismantlement and abandonment costs, excluding salvage values, are initially recorded, the carrying amount of the related oil and gas properties is increased. The fair value of the ARO asset and liability is measured using expected future cash outflows discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Accretion of the liability is recognized each period using the interest method of allocation, and the capitalized cost is depleted using the units of production method. Should either the estimated life or the estimated abandonment costs of a property change materially upon the Company’s periodic review, a new calculation is performed using the same methodology of taking the abandonment cost and inflating it forward to its abandonment date and then discounting it back to the present using the Company’s credit-adjusted-risk-free rate. The carrying value of the asset retirement obligation is adjusted to the newly calculated value, with a corresponding offsetting adjustment to the carrying cost of the related asset.

The following table summarizes the Company’s asset retirement obligation transactions recorded in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 410 during the six months ended June 30, 2013:

	June 30,
	2013
Beginning asset retirement obligation	$	482,157
Liabilities incurred in the current period		17,294

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued 59,644 shares of common stock to an unaffiliated investor as the result of a ratchet provision on stock that was purchased for $5.00 per share that required the Company to issue additional shares of stock at no cost to the investor to make the effective price per share $2.50.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, two unaffiliated investors returned 25,626 shares of our common stock, valued at $25,626, or $1.00 per share, and paid us $120,000 in cash to purchase a 20.00% working interest in our Wasatch National Forest #16-15 Well for a total value of $145,626.

These ratchet provisions are accounted for under the provisions of FASB ASC 815 which dictate the provisions to be accounted as embedded derivatives. These standards require the Company to determine the fair value of the ratchet provision and record a corresponding derivative liability in the financial statements. (See NOTE 13 FAIR VALUE). As of June 30, 2013, the Company is required to issue 798,741 shares of common stock under the terms of the $0.80 ratchet provision.

RICHFIELD OIL & GAS COMPANY

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, warrants totaling 2,715,218 for shares of common stock were granted.

Of the total warrants granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013, 765,375 warrants were granted in conjunction with private placements of common stock for cash proceeds (see NOTE 11 COMMON STOCK) that have an exercise price of $1.00 per share and expire between December 2013 and June 2014.

The remaining 1,949,843 warrants granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013, were issued in conjunction with the extinguishment of certain debt and in conjunction with the payment for services. These transactions are accounted for by the Company under the provisions of FASB ASC 470 and 505. These standards require the Company to determine the fair value of the warrants. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the fair value of warrants at the date of grant. Warrant pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility. For warrants granted, the Company used a variety of comparable and peer companies to determine the expected volatility. The Company believes the use of peer company data fairly represents the expected volatility it would experience if the Company was more actively publicly traded in the oil and gas industry over the contractual term of the warrants. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company has determined the fair value of the 1,949,843 warrants granted to be $163,195 all of which has been expensed in the period.

The following is the weighted average of the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the warrants granted during the year using the Black-Scholes model:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2013
Fair market value	$	0.71
Exercise price	$	1.00
Risk free rates		0.11	%
Dividend yield		0.00	%
Expected volatility		56.60	%
Contractual term		0.98 Years

The weighted-average fair market value at the date of grant for warrants granted are as follows:

Fair value per warrant	$	0.0837
Total warrants granted		1,949,843
Total fair value of warrants granted	$	163,195

NOTE 12 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS

In May 2013, the Company announced the appointment of Alan D. Gaines as Chairman of the Board of Directors and as part of his compensation package, the Company awarded Mr. Gaines 3,500,000 common stock options with an exercise price of $1.00 and expire in May 2020. The options vest 50% upon the earlier of six months or the Company obtaining funding in excess of $3 million, 25% after one year and 25% after two years. The Company accounts for employee stock options according to FASB ASC 718 which requires the Company to calculate the fair value of the stock option grant and amortized over the vesting period of the options.

The following are the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the options granted on May 6, 2013 using the Black-Scholes model:

Fair market value	$	0.80
Exercise price	$	1.00
Risk free rate		0.11	%
Dividend yield		0.00	%
Expected volatility		71.29	%
Expected life		4.08 Years

The Company used a variety of comparable and peer companies to determine the expected volatility. The Company believes the use of peer company data fairly represents the expected volatility it would experience if the Company was more actively publicly traded in the oil and gas industry over the expected life of the options. The Company has no historical data regarding the expected life of the options and therefore used the simplified method of calculating the expected life. The risk free rate was calculated using the U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates similar to the expected life of the options, as published by the Federal Reserve. The Company has no plans to declare any future dividends.

The following table summarizes the Company’s total option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2013:

				Remaining
	Options	Exercise Price		Term in Years
Options outstanding as of December 31, 2012	-		-	-
Granted	3,500,000	$	1.00	7.00
Exercised	-		-	-
Forfeited/Expired	-		-	-
Options outstanding as of June 30, 2013	3,500,000	$	1.00	6.85

Outstanding and exercisable stock options as of June 30, 2013 are as follows:

Options Outstanding				Options Exercisable
Number of Options Outstanding	Remaining Life (Years)	Exercise Price		Number of Options Exercisable	Exercise Price
3,500,000	6.85	$	1.00	-	-

The estimated fair value of the Company stock options, less expected forfeitures, is amortized over the options vesting period on the straight-line basis. The Company recognized the following equity-based compensation expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2013:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2013
Stock based compensation expense	$	184,247
Income tax benefit recognized related to stock-based compensation		-
Income tax benefit realized from the exercising and vesting of options		-

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

As of June 30, 2013, there was $1,405,771 of total unrecognized compensation cost with a remaining vesting period of 1.85 years.

As of June 30, 2013, the intrinsic value of outstanding and vested stock options was as follows:

		June 30, 2013
Intrinsic value – options outstanding		-
Intrinsic value – options exercisable		-
Intrinsic value – options exercised		-

NOTE 13 FAIR VALUE

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under FASB ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under FASB ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, with the first two inputs considered observable and the last input considered unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter. The Company has one liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which consists of ratchet provisions in connection with certain issuances of the Company’s common stock (see NOTE 10 COMMON STOCK). As of June 30, 2013 these warrants had an estimated fair value of $871,814. The Company has no assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following table presents information about our derivative liability, which was our only financial instrument measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of June 30, 2013:

Balance at December 31, 2013	$	-
New Derivative Liability		871,814
Transfers to (from) Level 3		-
Total gains (losses) included in earnings		-
Issuances		-
Balance at June 30, 2013	$	871,814

The fair value of these warrants was calculated using the Geometric Brownian Motion methodology with a risk neutral Monte Carlo approach using level three inputs. Assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the ratchet provisions were as follows:

	June 30, 2013
Expected term in years		.27 years
Risk-free interest rates		0.10	%
Volatility		137.00	%
Dividend yield		0.00	%

RICHFIELD OIL & GAS COMPANY

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

In addition to the assumptions above, the Company also takes into consideration whether or not the Company would participate in another round of financing and if that financing is registered or not and what that stock price would be for the financing at that time. The Company will continue to adjust the derivative liability for changes in fair value until the ratchet provision expires on December 31, 2013.

NOTE 15 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Nostra Terra Oil & Gas Company v. Richfield Oil & Gas Company

On February 1, 2012, Nostra Terra Oil & Gas Company (“NTOG”) filed an action against the Company, HPI, HEGINC, and HEGLLC in the Twenty-Third Judicial District Court of Russell County, Kansas. The complaint alleges that the Company defaulted on its repayment obligations under a note and security agreement, dated April 13, 2011, in the principal amount of $1,300,000 and accrued interest at 10% per annum (the “Note”). The complaint seeks foreclosure on two of the Company’s property leases located in Kansas. On May 31, 2013, the Company received an Order of Sale from the District Court in Russell County, Kansas, directing the sale of certain of our properties that we had pledged as collateral in connection with the Note. As disclosed in our prior filings, we were unable to repay our obligations under the Note when it came due on January 31, 2012. As a result of our default under the Note, on April 2, 2013, NTOG obtained a judgment against the Company in the principal sum of $1,300,000 plus $245,040 in accrued interest through March 1, 2013 and on May 17, 2013, the Company delivered $216,043. The judgment further provides that interest will continue to accrue after March 1, 2013 at the rate of $356 per day until the debt is paid in full.

On June 27, 2013 the Russell County Kansas Sheriff’s office conducted a sale of three leases and three wells. The Company objected to the auction and the confirmation of the sale. On August 6, 2013 NTOG stipulated to set aside the sale and that any future sale be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has maintained its cross-claim against NTOG for intentional interference with our business relations and accounting. The liability of $1,300,000 has been included in the Company’s financial statements under “Convertible notes payable” and the interest amount has been included in the Company’s “Accrued expenses and other payables”. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this foreclosure action and repay any amount that is ultimately determined to be outstanding. The obligations due and owing under this note and security agreement are fully accounted for in the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2013.

Litigation in the Ordinary Course

We may become involved in litigation from time to time relating to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of such claims would have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

NOTE 16 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In July 2013, the Company issued a note payable for $100,000 to an existing investor. The note payable bears an interest rate of 8% per annum and matures on the earlier of August 15, 2013 or the Company obtaining investment banking funding. As additional consideration for the loan, the Company issued 12,500 shares of common stock and granted warrants to purchase 6,250 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.00 per share that expire in June 2014. The note is secured by a working interest in wells and leases in the South Haven field.

In July 2013, the Company sold a 2.0% ORRI on the Pine Springs/Edwin Prospect in the Central Utah Overthrust to an unaffiliated investor for $70,000 cash.

In July 2013, the Company issued 1,565 shares of common stock to an unaffiliated investor as the result of a ratchet provision on stock that was purchased for $5.00 per share that required the Company to issue additional shares of stock at no cost to the investor to make the effective price per share $2.50.

The Company does not plan to renew the lease for its current office space in Salt Lake City, Utah which terminates August 31, 2013. In July 2013 the Company entered into a new 5 year lease in a new building in Salt Lake City, Utah beginning September 1, 2013 for approximately 5,482 square feet. The Company has paid a security deposit of $11,121. The annualized lease obligation from September 1, 2013 to August 21, 2014 is $67,158 or $9,594 per month with no rent payments for the first five months. The annualized lease payments for the remaining 4 years are $115,122 or $9,594 per month.

Overview of our Business

We are an independent oil and gas exploration and production company with projects in Kansas, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming. The focus of our business is acquiring, retrofitting and operating or selling oil and gas assets and related production. We have three primary strategic directions:

	⋅	We use our research technology to identify prospective properties in Kansas and Oklahoma that were initially developed between the 1920s and 1950s, but which may be subject to further development through the use of more modern production techniques. We refer to these properties as our “Mid-Continent Project,” which currently includes 2,626 gross (2,482 net) acres. We have identified significant oil and natural gas reserves from these early exploration properties, many of which were previously underdeveloped due to inefficient and antiquated exploration and production methods and low commodity prices. In most cases these wells were developed and left fallow by major oil and gas companies. Using current technology and methodologies, we have successfully developed both production and proved reserves within these fields, and we intend to continue to pursue this strategy in the future.

	⋅	We have three properties on the Utah–Wyoming Overthrust, including one property containing a well that we are in the process of refurbishing in order to place it into production. We currently own or lease 2,311 gross (2,303 net) acres on the Utah-Wyoming Overthrust, near the border between northern Utah and south-western Wyoming. We refer to these properties as our “Utah-Wyoming Overthrust Project.” We intend to conduct additional development activities with respect to our Utah-Wyoming Overthrust Project.

	⋅	We have conducted a limited amount of exploration for oil and natural gas reserves in the Central Utah Overthrust region, where we are participating in 34,330 gross (13,413 net) acres. We refer to these properties as our “Central Utah Overthrust Project.” We and our partners intend to conduct drilling operations, acquire additional acreage and to conduct further exploration activities with respect to our Central Utah Overthrust Project.

Our approach to acquiring leases and developing producing properties focuses on three types of development activities:

	⋅	Activities involving the identification, acquisition and development of leases of property in which oil or natural gas is known to exist.

	⋅	Activities involving low or moderate exploration and development risk. These include leases of property where oil and natural gas has been produced in the past but there are no existing wells.

	⋅	Activities involving the acquisition of properties where it is reasonably believed that potential hydrocarbon values exist based on analysis involving geochemical, radiometric, gravitational and seismic data. This may include projects that have never been drilled or tested for oil and natural gas in the past.

We have developed a database to evaluate wells that are on record in our Kansas areas of operation. The database contains extensive well records, including information on historic production, seismic data, geological data, well depth, well logs and drilling records, and where available, handwritten driller notes concerning rock formation depths and other relevant information. This system has been developed internally from data obtained from appropriate state agencies and private organizations. The database enables us to identify potential bypassed hydrocarbons throughout the state of Kansas.

Through statistical modeling and data evaluation, we believe greater oil and natural gas reserves exist and can be found, measured and produced in areas where initial reserves were previously found but abandoned prior to full development. We believe that with our current technologies and systems, acquiring and developing older fields mitigates exploration risk and is a safe and predictable method of managing our business.

Production History

The following table presents information about our produced oil volumes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. We did not produce natural gas during these time periods. As of June 30, 2013, we were selling oil from a total of 16 gross wells (15.2 net), compared to 12 gross wells (10.7 net) as of June 30, 2012.

Results of Operations

The following presents an overview of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

Average Daily Production. Our net oil production for the three months ended June 30, 2013 averaged approximately 38 Bopd after royalties compared to approximately 25 Bopd for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in production in 2013 over 2012 is primarily due to five new wells added in Kansas and Wyoming offset by the temporary shut-in of one well and other temporary well repair downtime and normal production decline.

Oil Revenues. Our oil revenues increased by $76,636, or 33.5%, from $229,037 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $305,673 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in revenue is due to an increase of 580 barrels of oil produced for the three months ended June 30, 2013 over the same period in 2012, equating to an increase of $46,046 and an $8.83 increase in the weighted average price per barrel sold for the three months ended June 30, 2013, equating to an increase of $30,590.

Net Loss on Earnings Per Share. We realized a net loss of $2,222,897, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share of common stock, for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to a net loss of $864,906, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The higher net loss of $1,357,991 was due mainly to the loss on extinguishment of debt and higher interest and finance expenses incurred to extend the due dates of debt and a lower gain on sale of assets during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $1,571,152 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $973,953 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The $597,199 or 61.3% increase in operating expenses was due primarily to a decrease in the gain on sale of assets of $421,754, an increase in production expenses of $106,683, and a net increase in all other operating expenses of $68,762.

Production Expenses. Our production expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $229,281, or $66.17 per barrel of oil, compared to $122,598, or $42.50 per barrel of oil, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, which represents a $106,683 or 87.0% increase. The overall production expenses increased mainly due to one-time repair costs incurred on our Wasatch National Forest #16-15 Well that were necessary after it was put into production. Our cost per barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2013 continues to remain above the industry averages due to our fixed costs, such as electricity, personnel and related expenses, and the cost of maintaining our 26 current non-producing wells including eight salt water disposal wells that are underutilized. We expect our fixed costs on a per barrel basis will decline as we place into production our non-producing wells.

Exploration Expenses. Exploration expenses decreased 38.1%, or $19,945, from $52,285 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to $32,340 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease is due to less work performed in the three months ended June 30, 2013 on our undeveloped Utah prospects. We continued to focus our resources on our proved properties in Kansas and Wyoming.

Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion. We recorded depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion of $103,104 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $61,208 during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of 68.4%, or $41,896, was mainly due to increased depreciation of $24,875 during the three months ended June 30, 2013 on our well and office equipment as a result of $680,229 in equipment additions since June 30, 2012. Depletion expense increased by $15,730 as a result of an increase in overall production volumes with a shift to more production in the Koelsch and South Haven fields that have a higher production cost per barrel. The remaining increase of $1,291 is due to accretion.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $1,177,755 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1,134,933 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of $42,822, or 3.8%, was attributable to a $133,592 increase in legal and audit fees offset by a $60,994 decrease in compensation to consultants, directors, officers and other employees and a net decrease of $29,776 in all other expense items. The general and administrative expenses were $830,836, net of $346,919 in non-cash stock compensation, and $801,479, net of $333,454 in non-cash stock compensation, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Gain (Loss) on Sale of Assets. During the three months ended June 30, 2013 we had a $16,130 net loss on sale of assets compared to a $405,624 net gain on sale of assets for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This resulted in a decrease of $421,754, or 104.0%. The loss on sale of assets in 2013 is attributable to the sale of certain well equipment and office equipment. The gain on sale of assets in 2012 is attributable to the sale of a 21% working interest in the Prescott lease and a 5% carried interest in the Perth Field.

Other Income (Expenses). Total other income and expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2013 was a net expense of $957,018 compared to a net expense of $119,590 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 representing an increase of $837,428 or 700.2%.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, other income consisted of a gain on settlement of liabilities totaling $526 compared to $17,164 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as a result of our settlement of certain trade payable obligations. In addition, for the three months ended June 30, 2013, we had no interest income compared to $27,461 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 is associated with past due receivables from a working interest holder.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, we incurred a loss on the extinguishment of debt in the amount of $631,353. This is a non-cash expense and is the result of our effort to reduce our debt through conversions to common stock with a ratchet provision and warrants.

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, we incurred interest and finances expenses of $326,191 compared to $164,215 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of $161,976 in 2013 over 2012 is due an increase of $71,662 in expenses associated with the modification of previously issued warrants, an increase of $107,038 in interest expense mainly due to payments made to extend due dates on notes payable offset by a decrease of $16,724 due to fewer common stock warrants granted. The interest and finance expenses were $160,000, net of $166,191 non-cash stock and warrant issuances and $132,054, net of $32,161 non-cash stock and warrant issuances for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

Average Daily Production. Our net oil production for the six months ended June 30, 2013 averaged approximately 32 Bopd after royalties compared to approximately 27 Bopd for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in production in 2013 over 2012 is primarily due to five new wells added in Kansas and Wyoming offset by the temporary shut-in of one well and other temporary well repair downtime and normal production decline.

Oil Revenues. Our oil revenues increased by $68,942 or 15.4% from $448,898 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $517,840 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in revenue is due to an increase of 935 barrels of oil produced for the six months ended June 30, 2013 over the same period in 2012, equating to an increase of $85,253 offset by a $2.78 decrease in the weighted average price per barrel sold for the six months ended June 30, 2013, equating to an decrease of $16,311.

Net Loss on Earnings Per Share. We realized a net loss of $3,736,801, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to a net loss of $2,916,985, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The higher net loss of $819,816 was due mainly to the loss on extinguishment of debt and higher interest and finance expenses incurred to extend the due dates of debt during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $3,109,465 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $3,028,732 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The $80,733 or 2.7% increase in operating expenses was due primarily to a decrease in the gain on sale of assets of $442,025, an increase in production expenses of $82,431, an increase in asset retirement expenses of $136,507 and a net increase in all other operating expenses of $96,449, offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses in the amount of $676,679.

Production Expenses. Our production expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $448,446, or $76.56 per barrel of oil, compared to $366,015, or $74.35 per barrel of oil, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, which represents a $82,431 or 22.5% increase. The overall production expenses increased mainly due to one time repair costs incurred on our Wasatch National Forest #16-15 Well that were necessary after it was put into production. This increase was partially offset by a large one time repair charge in our Perth field during 2012 that we did not incur in 2013. Our cost per barrel for the six months ended June 30, 2013 continues to remain above the industry averages due to our fixed costs, such as electricity, personnel and related expenses, and the cost of maintaining wells our 26 current non-producing wells including eight salt water disposal wells that are underutilized. We expect our fixed costs on a per barrel basis will decline as we place into production our non-producing wells.

Lease Expirations. Lease expirations were $46,937 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $14,170 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase of $32,767, or 231.2%, was mainly due to one lease that we were unsuccessful in renewing due to excessive terms requested by the landowner. We continue our effort to renew as many expiring leases as possible that are not held by production.

Exploration Expenses. Exploration expenses decreased 11.0%, or $8,848, from $80,399 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $71,551 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease is due to less work performed in the six months ended June 30, 2013 on our undeveloped Utah prospects as we continued to focus our resources on our proved properties in Kansas and Wyoming.

Depletion, Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion. We recorded depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion of $183,150 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $113,682 during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of 61.1%, or $69,468 was mainly due to increased depreciation of $49,350 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 on our well and office equipment as a result of $680,229 in equipment additions since June 30, 2012. Depletion expense increased by $17,923 as a result of an increase in overall production volumes with a shift to more production in the Koelsch and South Haven fields that have a higher production cost per barrel. The remaining increase of $2,195 is due to accretion.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $2,187,528 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $2,864,207 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The $676,679 or 23.6% decrease was attributable to a $841,273 decrease in compensation to consultants, directors, officers and other employees and a $192,332 decrease in bad debt expense during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 2012, offset by a $269,182 increase in legal and audit fees in 2013 over 2012 and a net increase of $87,744 in all other expense items. The general and administrative expenses were $1,216,859, net of $970,669 in non-cash stock compensation, and $1,568,253, net of $1,295,954 in non-cash stock compensation, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Asset Retirement Obligation Expenses. We had $136,507 in asset retirement obligation expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to zero for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase is due to the cost for plugging three wells in Kansas during the six months ended June 30, 2013 exceeded the asset retirement obligation liability for those three wells. These wells had been shut-in since our purchase of the leases. They were if very poor mechanical condition that was unknown to us prior to starting our rework operations.

Gain (Loss) on Sale of Assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 we had a $16,130 net loss on sale of assets compared to a $425,825 net gain on sale of assets for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This resulted in a decrease of $442,025, or 103.8%. The loss on sale of assets in 2013 is attributable to the sale of certain well equipment and office equipment. The gain on sale of assets in 2012 is attributable to the sale of a 21% working interest in the Prescott lease and a 5% carried interest in the Perth Field.

Other Income (Expenses). Total other income and expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was a net expense of $1,143,609 compared to a net expense of $336,751 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 representing an increase of $806,858 or 239.6%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, other income consisted of a gain on settlement of liabilities totaling $30,367 compared to $17,199 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as a result of our settlement of certain trade payable obligations. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, we had no interest income compared to $52,307 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 is associated with past due receivables from a working interest holder.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we incurred a loss on the extinguishment of debt in the amount of $631,353. This is a non-cash expense and is the result of our effort to reduce our debt through conversions to common stock with a ratchet provision and warrants.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we incurred interest and finances expenses of $542,623 compared to $406,257 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The $136,366 increase in 2013 over 2012 is due an increase of $162,894 in expenses associated with the modification of previously issued warrants, an increase of $70,114 in interest expense mainly due to payments made to extend due dates on notes payable, offset by a decrease of $96,642 due to fewer common stock warrants granted. The interest and finance expenses were $242,275, net of $300,348 in non-cash stock and warrant issuances and $272,728, net of $133,529 in non-cash stock and warrant issuances for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to meet potential cash requirements. We have historically met our capital requirements through the issuance of common and preferred stock, short-term borrowings and selling working interests in our oil and natural gas properties. In the future, we expect to generate cash from sales of crude oil from production from our existing wells and new wells we intend to develop. Until cash provided by our operations is sufficient to cover our expenses and execute our development plans, we intend to continue to finance our operations through additional debt or equity financings, if available.

The following table summarizes our total current assets, total current liabilities and working capital deficiency as of June 30, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2013		2012
Current Assets	$	440,472	$	1,064,566
Current Liabilities		7,893,254		5,802,513
Working Capital Deficiency	$	(7,452,782)	$	(4,737,947)

Cash and cash equivalents were $81,285 as of June 30, 2013, compared to $286,013 as of December 31, 2012. Changes in the net cash provided by and (used in) our operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are set forth in the following table:

	Six Months Ended				Net Cash
	June 30,				Increase
	2013		2012		(Decrease)
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(825,835)	$	(1,864,892)	$	1,039,057
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities		(636,264)		1,129,709		(1,765,973)
Net cash provided by financing activities		1,257,371		1,274,955		(17,584)
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(204,728)	$	539,772	$	(744,500)

Net cash from operating activities is derived from net income from operations adjusted for non-cash items, changes in the balances of accounts receivables, deposits and prepaid expenses, accounts payables, accrued expenses and other payables. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we used net cash in operating activities in the amount of $825,835 compared to $1,864,892 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase in net cash of $1,039,057 from 2012 to 2013 was primarily due to a decrease of accounts receivable of $318,857, an increase in accrued expenses and other payables of $632,382, and an increase of deposits and prepaid expenses of $260,779 offset by a net decrease of $172,967 in all other operating items.

Net cash from investing activities is derived from the proceeds and disbursements from sales and purchases of oil and gas properties, including wells and related equipment. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we used cash for investing activities in the amount of $636,264 compared having cash provided by investing activities in the amount of $1,129,709 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease in net cash of $1,765,973 was primarily due to a decrease in the proceeds from sale of oil and gas assets in the amount of $1,982,253. In 2012, we sold working interests in our Kansas properties to provide funding for our activities.

Net cash from financing activities is derived from the proceeds from the issuance of equity securities and notes and convertible notes payable less the payments on our notes and convertible notes payable. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we had an increase in net cash from financing activities of $1,257,371 compared to an increase in net cash of $1,274,955 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 , resulting in a decrease in our net cash for the period of $17,584. We issued $950,243 more common stock and warrants for cash in 2012 over 2013, but we also increased payments on our notes and convertible notes payable in 2012 over 2013 in the amount of $754,513 which used most of that cash.

Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months and our ability to continue as a going concern

Our operations do not produce significant cash flow and we rely almost exclusively on external sources of liquidity. As of June 30, 2013, we have a $7,452,782 working capital deficiency and we need additional funding to pay our current liabilities, continue as a going concern and execute our business plan. We have historically addressed working capital deficiencies through frequent private sales of stock and warrants for cash, exchanges of stock and warrants in satisfaction of liabilities or for services, issuing short- and long-term promissory notes and sales of our assets. We will continue to depend on these and other external sources of liquidity for the foreseeable future. If we cannot obtain the necessary capital to pay our current liabilities, we may be subject to litigation and foreclosure proceedings. We will also need to obtain additional funding to make our planned capital expenditures. If we are unable to secure such additional funding, we will be unable to pursue our plans, we may have to cease or significantly curtail our operations, including our plans to acquire additional acreage positions and development activities. Our ability to raise additional capital is critical to our ability to continue to operate our business.

Our ability to secure liquidity in the form of additional financing or otherwise is crucial for the execution of our plans and our ability to continue as a going concern. Our current cash balance, together with cash anticipated to be provided by operations, will not be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash requirements for normal operations and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. Economic conditions continue to be weak and global financial markets continue to experience significant volatility and liquidity challenges. These conditions may make it more difficult for us to obtain financing.

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our December 31, 2012 financial statements expresses doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The report includes an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to substantial losses from operations, negative working capital, negative cash flow, and the lack of sufficient capital, as of the date the report was issued, to support our planned capital expenditures to continue our drilling programs through 2013 or later. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

We are not currently generating significant revenues, and our cash and cash equivalents will continue to be depleted by our ongoing development efforts as well as our general and administrative expenses. Until we are in a position to generate significant revenues, we will need to continue to raise additional funds to continue operating as a going concern. We may seek this additional funding through the issuance of debt, preferred stock, equity or a combination of these instruments. We may also seek to obtain financing through the sale of working interests in one or more of our projects. We cannot be certain that funding from any of these sources will be available on reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to secure adequate funds on a timely basis on terms acceptable to us, we may have to cease or significantly curtail our operations including our plans to acquire additional acreage positions and development activities.

Over the next twelve months, we do not expect our existing capital and anticipated funds from operations to be sufficient to sustain our planned expansion. Consequently, we intend to seek additional capital to fund growth and expansion through equity financings, debt financings and/or credit facilities. We have no assurance that such financing will be available, and if available, the terms under which such financing would be given.

Our lack of significant operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in an early stage of development, particularly companies in the oil and gas exploration industry. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We have no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Effects of Inflation and Pricing

The oil and gas industry is cyclical and the demand for goods and services by oil field companies, suppliers and others associated with the industry put significant pressure on the economic stability and pricing structure within the industry. Typically, as prices for oil and natural gas increase all other associated costs increase as well. Conversely, in a period of declining prices, associated cost declines are likely to lag and may not adjust downward in proportion to the declining prices. Material changes in prices also impact our current revenue stream, estimates of future reserves, impairment assessments of oil and natural gas properties, and values of properties in purchase and sale transactions. Material changes in prices can impact the value of oil and gas companies and their ability to raise capital, borrow money and retain personnel. While we do not currently expect business costs to materially increase, higher prices for oil and natural gas could result in increases in the costs of materials, services and personnel.

The establishment and consistent application of accounting policies is a vital component of accurately and fairly presenting our consolidated financial statements in accordance accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), as well as ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing financial reporting. While there are rarely alternative methods or rules from which to select in establishing accounting and financial reporting policies, proper application often involves significant judgment regarding a given set of facts and circumstances and a complex series of decisions.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We have significant obligations to plug and abandon our oil and natural gas wells and related equipment. Liabilities for asset retirement obligations are recorded at fair value in the period incurred. The related asset value is increased by the same amount. Asset retirement costs included in the carrying amount of the related asset are subsequently allocated to expense as part of our depletion calculation.

Estimating future asset retirement obligations requires us to make estimates and judgments regarding timing, existence of a liability, as well as what constitutes adequate restoration. We use the present value of estimated cash flows related to our asset retirement obligations to determine the fair value. Present value calculations inherently incorporate numerous assumptions and judgments, which include the ultimate retirement and restoration costs, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the present value of our existing asset retirement obligation liability, a corresponding adjustment will be made to the carrying cost of the related asset.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids is recorded when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product is transferred to the buyer, which is usually when legal title passes to the external party. For crude oil and natural gas liquids, delivery generally occurs upon pick up at the field tank battery and natural gas delivery occurs at the pipeline delivery point. Revenue is not recognized for the production in tanks, or oil in pipelines that has not been delivered to the purchaser. Revenue is measured net of discounts and royalties. Royalties and severance taxes are incurred based on the actual price received from the sales. We use the sales method of accounting for natural gas balancing of natural gas production, and we would recognize a liability if the existing proven reserves were not adequate to cover the current imbalance situation. For all periods reported, we had no natural gas production.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have accounted for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718. This standard requires us to record an expense associated with the fair value of stock-based compensation over the period in which it is earned, typically the vesting period. We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to calculate the value of options and warrants at the date of grant. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

Stock Issuance

We record the stock-based awards issued to consultants and other external entities for goods and services at either the fair market value of the goods received or services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in FASB ASC 505.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under FASB ASC 740. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. We have examined the tax positions taken in our tax returns and determined that there are no uncertain tax positions. As a result, we have recorded no uncertain tax liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.

Oil and Gas Properties

We account for oil and natural gas properties by the successful efforts method. Under this method of accounting, costs relating to the acquisition of and development of proved areas are capitalized when incurred. The costs of development wells are capitalized whether productive or non-productive. Leasehold acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred. If proved reserves are found on an unproved property, leasehold costs are transferred to proved properties. Exploration dry holes are charged to expense when it is determined that no commercial reserves exist. Other exploration costs, including personnel costs, geological and geophysical expenses and delay rentals for oil and natural gas leases, are charged to expense when incurred. The costs of acquiring or constructing support equipment and facilities used in oil and natural gas producing activities are capitalized. Production costs are charged to expense as incurred and are those costs incurred to operate and maintain our wells and related equipment and facilities.

Depletion of producing oil and natural gas properties is recorded based on units of production. Acquisition costs of proved properties are depleted on the basis of all proved reserves, developed and undeveloped, and capitalized development costs (wells and related equipment and facilities) are depleted on the basis of proved developed reserves. As more fully described below, proved reserves are estimated by our independent petroleum engineer and are subject to future revisions based on availability of additional information. Asset retirement costs are recognized when the asset is placed in service, and are depleted over proved reserves using the units of production method.

Oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. We compare net capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas properties to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows using management’s expectations of future oil and natural gas prices. These future price scenarios reflect our estimation of future price volatility. If net capitalized costs exceed estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, the measurement of impairment is based on estimated fair value, using estimated discounted future net cash flows based on management’s expectations of future oil and natural gas prices. We have recorded no impairment on any of our properties.

Unproven properties that are individually significant are assessed for impairment and if considered impaired are charged to expense when such impairment is deemed to have occurred.

The sale of a partial interest in a proved oil and natural gas property is accounted for as normal retirement and no gain or loss is recognized as long as this treatment does not significantly affect the units-of-production depletion rate. If the units-of-production rate is significantly affected, then the sale is accounted for as the sale of an asset, and a gain or loss is recognized. The unamortized cost of the property or group of properties is apportioned to the interest sold and interest retained on the basis of the fair values of those interests. A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of producing properties and is included in the results of operations. The sale of a partial interest in an unproved property is accounted for as a recovery of cost when substantial uncertainty exists as to recovery of the cost applicable to the interest retained. A gain on the sale is recognized to the extent the sales price exceeds the carrying amount of the unproved property. A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of nonproducing properties and is included in the results of operations.

Oil and Gas Reserves

The determination of depreciation, depletion and amortization expense as well as impairments that are recognized on our oil and natural gas properties are highly dependent on the estimates of the proved oil and natural gas reserves attributable to our properties. Our estimate of proved reserves is based on the quantities of oil and natural gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate, with reasonable certainty, to be recoverable in the future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data, engineering and geological interpretation, and judgment. For example, we must estimate the amount and timing of future operating costs, production taxes and development costs, all of which may in fact vary considerably from actual results. In addition, as the prices of oil and natural gas and cost levels change from year to year, the economics of producing our reserves may change and therefore the estimate of proved reserves may also change. Any significant variance in these assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantity and value of our reserves.

The information regarding present value of the future net cash flows attributable to our proved oil and natural gas reserves are estimates only and should not be construed as the current market value of the estimated oil and natural gas reserves attributable to our properties. Thus, such information includes revisions of certain reserve estimates attributable to our properties included in the prior year’s estimates. These revisions reflect additional information from subsequent activities, production history of the properties involved and any adjustments in the projected economic life of such properties resulting from changes in oil and natural gas prices. Any future downward revisions could adversely affect our financial condition, our borrowing ability, our future prospects and the value of our common stock.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements under GAAP in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to proved oil and natural gas reserve volumes, certain depletion factors, future cash flows from oil and natural gas properties, estimates relating to certain oil and natural gas revenues and expenses, valuation of equity-based compensation, valuation of asset retirement obligations, estimates of future oil and natural gas commodity pricing and the valuation of deferred income taxes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”), adopted January 3, 2012

We qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As such, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from various reporting requirements including, but not limited to, the requirement to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002, and the requirement to submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes such as “say on pay” and “say on frequency.”

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an emerging growth company up to the fifth anniversary of our first registered sale of common equity securities, or until the earliest of (a) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (b) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (c) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that we adopt as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company, we have elected not to provide the disclosures required by this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2013. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of June 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in that they ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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 framework and processes are designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

	⋅	pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
	⋅	provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded properly to allow for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and Board of Directors;
	⋅	provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements; and
	⋅	provide reasonable assurance as to the detection of fraud.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their stated goals under all potential future conditions.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Nostra Terra Oil & Gas Company v. Richfield Oil & Gas Company

On February 1, 2012, Nostra Terra Oil & Gas Company (“NTOG”) filed an action against the Company, HPI, HEGINC, and HEGLLC in the Twenty-Third Judicial District Court of Russell County, Kansas. The complaint alleges that the Company defaulted on its repayment obligations under a note and security agreement, dated April 13, 2011, in the principal amount of $1,300,000 and accrued interest at 10% per annum (the “Note”). The complaint seeks foreclosure on two of the Company’s property leases located in Kansas. On May 31, 2013, the Company received an Order of Sale from the District Court in Russell County, Kansas , directing the sale of certain of our properties that we had pledged as collateral in connection with the Note. As disclosed in our prior filings, we were unable to repay our obligations under the Note when it came due on January 31, 2012. As a result of our default under the Note, on April 2, 2013, NTOG obtained a judgment against the Company in the principal sum of $1,300,000 plus $245,040 in accrued interest through March 1, 2013 and on May 17, 2013, the Company delivered $216,043. The judgment further provides that interest will continue to accrue after March 1, 2013 at the rate of $356 per day until the debt is paid in full.
