PACIFIC ENERGY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Pacific Energy Development Corporation and subsidiary (the “Company”) is a development stage company formed for the purpose of (i) engaging in the business of oil and gas exploration, development and production of primarily shale oil and gas and secondarily conventional oil and gas opportunities in the United States, and (ii) subsequently utilizing the Company’s strategic relationships for exploration, development and production in Pacific Rim countries, with a particular focus in China. The Company was originally formed in February 2011 as a limited liability company, and converted to a C corporation in June 2011.  In October 2011, the Company formed a new subsidiary called Condor Energy Technology LLC (“Condor”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The Company owns 20% of Condor and a corporate investor owns 80%. The Company also holds a 6% joint venture interest in Rare Earth Ovonic Metal Hydride JV Co. Ltd. Joint Venture, a Chinese rare earth metal manufacturing and production company (the “Rare Earth JV”) through its 100% owned subsidiary Pacific Energy & Rare Earth Inc.   In March of 2012, the Company acquired 100% of Excellong E&P-2, Inc., a Texas corporation whose sole asset is an approximately 8 percent working interest in certain oil and gas leases covering approximately 1,650 net acres in the Leighton Field located in McMullen County, Texas, which is currently producing oil and natural gas from the Eagle Ford shale formation (the “Eagle Ford Asset”).

The Company plans to focus initially on developing shale oil and gas assets held by the Company in the United States, including its first oil and gas working interest known as “the Niobrara Asset” and its second oil and gas working interest known as the “the Eagle Ford Asset”, each as described below.  Subsequently, the Company plans to seek additional shale oil and gas and traditional oil and gas asset acquisition opportunities in the United States and Pacific Rim countries utilizing its strategic relationships and technologies that may provide the Company a competitive advantage in accessing and exploring such assets. Some or all of these assets may be acquired by subsidiaries, including Condor, or others that may be formed at a future date.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred losses from operations of $1,160,327 from the date of inception (February 9, 2011) through March 31, 2012. Additionally the Company is dependent on obtaining additional debt and or equity financing to roll-out and scale its planned principal business operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management’s plans in regard to these matters consist principally of seeking additional debt and/or equity financing combined with expected cash flows from planned oil & gas asset acquisitions.  There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will be successful.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and, accordingly, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the same basis and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, and no representation is made thereto.

In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of operations for each interim period shown. All such adjustments occur in the ordinary course of business and are of a normal, recurring nature.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Energy and Rare Earth, Inc. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

The Company’s most significant estimates relate to the valuation of its investment in the Rare Earth JV, its valuation of its common stock, options and warrants, and the valuation and allocation of its purchase of the Eagle Ford asset.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company classifies all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase as cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, cash equivalents consisted of money market funds.

Deferred Property Acquisition Costs
The Company defers the costs, such as title and legal fees, related to oil and gas property acquisitions. At the time the acquisition is completed, these costs are reclassified and included as part of the purchase price of the property acquired. To the extent a property acquisition is not consummated these costs are expensed.

Exploration and Evaluation Assets and Oil and Gas Properties
The successful efforts method of accounting is used for oil and gas exploration and production activities. Under this method, all costs for development wells, support equipment and facilities, and proved mineral interests in oil and gas properties are capitalized. Geological and geophysical costs are expensed when incurred. Costs of exploratory wells are capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets pending determination of whether the wells find proved oil and gas reserves. Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil and natural gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, (i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made). Prices include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future conditions.
 
 
F-7

 
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Exploratory wells in areas not requiring major capital expenditures are evaluated for economic viability within one year of completion of drilling. The related well costs are expensed as dry holes if it is determined that such economic viability is not attained. Otherwise, the related well costs are reclassified to oil and gas properties and subject to impairment review. For exploratory wells that are found to have economically viable reserves in areas where major capital expenditure will be required before production can commence, the related well costs remain capitalized only if additional drilling is under way or firmly planned. Otherwise the related well costs are expensed as dry holes.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred subsequent to the acquisition of an exploration asset in a business combination is accounted for in accordance with the policy outlined above.

The cost of oil and gas properties is amortized at the field level based on the unit of production method. Unit of production rates are based on oil and gas proved and probable developed producing reserves estimated to be recoverable from existing facilities based on the current terms of the respective production agreements. The Company’s reserves estimates represent crude oil and gas which management believes can be reasonably produced within the current terms of their production agreements.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash deposits placed with financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). At March 31, 2012, none of the Company’s cash balances were uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires, among other things, that deferred income taxes be provided for temporary differences between the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts. In addition, deferred tax assets are recorded for the future benefit of utilizing net operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that they will be realized.

Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all available evidence, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. In the event that the Company changes its determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that is more likely than not to be realized, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

The Company adopted authoritative guidance regarding uncertain tax positions. This guidance requires that realization of an uncertain income tax position must be more likely than not (i.e. greater than 50% likelihood of receiving a benefit) before it can be recognized in the financial statements. The guidance further prescribes the benefit to be realized assuming a review by taxing authorities having all relevant information and applying current conventions. The interpretation also clarifies the financial statement classification of tax related penalties and interest and sets forth new disclosures regarding unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Stock Based Compensation
ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), establishes accounting for share-based awards exchanged for employee services and requires companies to expense the estimated fair-value of these awards over the requisite employee service period. Under ASC 718, share-based compensation cost related to stock options is determined at the grant date using an option-pricing model. The value of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which clarifies fair value as an exit price, establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework for measuring fair value, and requires extended disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 apply to all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
As defined in ASC 820, fair value, clarified as an exit price, represents the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a result, fair value is a market-based approach that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

As a basis for considering these assumptions, ASC 820 defines a three-tier value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value.
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”), to converge the guidance in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amended guidance changes several aspects of the fair value measurement guidance in ASC 820. In addition, the amended guidance includes several new fair value disclosure requirements, including, among other things, information about valuation techniques and unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements and a narrative description of Level 3 measurements’ sensitivity to changes in unobservable inputs. For nonpublic entities, the amended guidance must be applied prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU 2011-05) which amends ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. The updated guidance in ASC Topic 220 gives an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The updated guidance in ASC Topic 220 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.

Implementation of these recent accounting pronouncements did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 4 – OIL AND GAS PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET (Continued)

*These obligations totaling $1,871,872 have been recorded as part of accrued liabilities in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2011.  Due to the satisfaction of the $172,500 obligation to STXRA through the issuance of 230,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock in the quarter ended March 31, 2012, these obligations total $1,699,372 as of March 31, 2012.

NOTE 5 – BUSINESS ACQUISITION

During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company acquired Excellong E&P-2, Inc., a Texas corporation whose sole asset is an approximately 8 percent working interest in certain oil and gas leases covering approximately 1,650 net acres in the Leighton Field located in McMullen County, Texas, which is currently producing oil and natural gas from the Eagle Ford shale formation (the “Eagle Ford Asset”).  This area is currently producing oil and natural gas from two wells, but the remainder of the land is under development. The acquisition closed on March 29 and the total purchase price was $3.75 million, consisting of

 
·
$1,500,000 cash paid at closing.
 
·
$1,000,000 million due 60 days following closing on May 28, 2012 *
 
·
1,666,667 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a total value of $1,250,000 and with a guaranteed value of $1.25 million on the date that is twelve months from the date of closing.  In the event that, on this twelve month anniversary (i) the Series A Stock has no Public Market Value, or (ii) the Series A Stock has a Public Market Value but the total Public Market Value of the Closing Stock issued to Sellers is less than $1,250,000, then each Seller shall have the right to require Buyer to repurchase some or all of such Seller’s shares of Closing Stock still then-held by such Seller for cash in an amount equal to $0.75 per share of Series A Stock repurchased (subject to adjustment for stock splits, conversions and the like) (the “Put”). For example, if all Sellers exercise the Put as to all shares of Closing Stock, the total repurchase price payable in connection with the Put would be $1,250,000.

*This obligation totaling $1,000,000 has been recorded as part of accrued liabilities in the balance sheet as of March 31, 2012.

Management determined that there were no intangible assets.  Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and represents intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. There was no Goodwill recognized associated with this acquisition. The fair value of the acquired tangible assets and proved oil and gas reserves is preliminary pending the final valuation of those assets.

NOTE 6 – EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT

In October 2011, the Company formed a new subsidiary called Condor Energy Technology LLC (“Condor”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The Company owns 20% of Condor and a subsidiary of MIE Holdings Corporation (“MIE Holdings”) owns 80%. The Company acquired oil and gas interests in the Niobrara formation (the “Niobrara Asset”) on October 31, 2011.  62.50% of the value of the Niobrara interest acquired by the Company has been assigned into Condor at a value of $3,071,640.  In connection with this transaction, the Company recorded $614,328 as its investment in Condor and the difference of $2,457,312 was recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital as a reduction of the Series A preferred stock proceeds received from MIE Holdings. Because the Series A preferred stock funding, formation of Condor and purchase of the Niobrara asset transactions were completed in contemplation of each other, the Company concluded that this accounting best represented the economic substance.
 
The Company accounts for its 20% ownership in Condor using the equity method. The Company evaluated its relationship with Condor to determine if Condor was a variable interest entity, (“VIE”) as defined in ASC 810-10, and whether the Company was the primary beneficiary of Condor, in which case consolidation with the Company would be required. The Company determined that Condor qualified as a VIE, however the Company concluded that the MIE Holdings was the primary beneficiary as a result of its voting and Board control combined with its funding commitments to Condor. The Company’s entire investment in Condor is at risk of loss.  The Company’s total investment in Condor at March 31, 2012 was $560,882, after recording its share of Condor’s 2012 losses of $27,571.

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY

In February 2011, the Company received a $200,000 loan from its president and chief executive officer.  Interest accrued at an annual rate of 3%, and principal and interest were due on October 31, 2011.  The loan plus accrued interest of $4,258 was repaid in full on October 31, 2011.  Upon receipt of these proceeds, the president and chief executive officer used the proceeds to purchase through Global Venture Investments, LLC, an entity owned and controlled by him, 266,667 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $0.75 per share.

In July 2011, the Company received a $900,000 loan from Global Venture Investments, LLC.  Interest accrued at an annual rate of 3%, and principal and interest were due on November 30, 2011.  The note was convertible into equity securities of the Company in the event of the closing of a qualified financing (defined as receipt of at least $2,000,000 in gross proceeds), and the note converted into the securities being sold in the qualified financing at a 50% discount.  The qualified financing occurred in October 2011 and the principal amount of this note was converted into 2,400,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the loan’s original conversion terms.  The accrued interest of $8,655 was paid in cash.

The note agreement also provided for the issuance of a warrant to the holder in the event that the note was automatically converted into a qualified financing. The warrant would have a three year term and an exercise price equal to the price paid by the investors in the qualified financing. In connection with the initial closing of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock financing in October 2011, which was a qualified financing, the Company issued this warrant for 480,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has entered into a non-cancelable lease agreement ending in June 2012 for certain office space.  As of March 31, 2012, the remaining obligation under this lease was $6,114.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock
At March 31, 2012, the Company was authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of its common stock with a par value of $0.001, of which 10,420,000 shares had been issued to its founders in exchange for cash in the amount of $10,420 in February 2011.  The shares issued are fully vested.  An additional 4,100,000 shares were issued in February 2011 to a company that is wholly owned by the Company’s president and chief executive officer in exchange for that company’s 6% interest in the Rare Earth JV.  These shares were valued at $4,100.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company had issued a total of 14,520,000 shares of common stock to its founders for total value received of $14,520.

In October 2011, the Company’s board of directors granted 700,000 shares of its restricted common stock to a non-employee executive vice president.  The shares were originally subject to forfeiture by the Company in the event the officer was no longer an employee, officer, director or consultant to the Company, which risk of forfeiture would lapse with respect to 75% of the shares if the Company (i) received $6 million in financing (excluding funds raised from certain investors) and (ii) “goes public” through the effectiveness of the registration of a class of the Company’s securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or through the Company’s merger with a public company.  The remaining 25% of the shares would have been released from the risk of forfeiture on that date six months from the latter date of these two events.  In addition, if the Company did not raise $6 million (excluding funds raised from certain investors), then 50% of the shares would have been released from the risk of forfeiture if the Company (i) received $3 million in financing (excluding funds raised from certain investors) and (ii) “goes public” through the effectiveness of the registration of a class of the Company’s securities under the Exchange Act or through the Company’s merger with a public company.  Furthermore, 25% of the shares would have been released from the risk of forfeiture six months from the latter date of these two events, and the remaining 25% would have been released from the risk of forfeiture six months later.

Common Stock (continued)
Contemporaneous with this grant, the executive vice president received an option exercisable for 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that may be exercised at $0.08 per share, with vesting occurring at various intervals based upon achievement of certain objectives, and expiring in October 2021 if not exercised earlier. As of December 31, 2011, none of the vesting milestones had been reached so none of the shares were vested and as a result they are not being shown as outstanding shares in the financial statements. In February 2012 the Company’s board of directors and the executive vice president agreed to a revised time-based vesting schedule with respect to these shares and options in connection with this executive vice president becoming a full-time employee of the Company.  The revised terms provide that the Company’s right of forfeiture shall lapse with respect to 50% of the shares on June 1, 2012, 25% on December 1, 2012, and the final 25% on June 1, 2013, all contingent upon the recipient’s continued service with the Company, with 100% of the shares being released from the Company’s right of forfeiture in the event the Company terminates his relationship with the Company without cause (as defined in the grant agreement). At March 31, 2012 all 700,000 shares are subject to forfeiture.

In conjunction with the Niobrara Asset acquisition, a grant of 285,595 fully vested shares of the Company’s common stock was paid to the company that arranged the purchase and provided various technical and due diligence assistance services to the Company. These shares were valued at $0.10 per share.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (Continued)

In October 2011, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent to merge with a publicly traded oil and gas exploration and production company.  Related to this merger, the Company issued fully vested stock awards for a total of 696,666 common shares to certain investor relations consultants, but performance is not required until after the merger is complete. These shares were valued at $0.10 per share and have been shown as outstanding in the balance sheet with an offsetting contra-equity account called service receivable.

In February 2012, the Company granted to five of its consultants and employees a total of 1,655,000 shares of its restricted common stock valued at $0.10 per share.  The shares are subject to forfeiture in the event the recipient is no longer an employee, officer, director or consultant to the Company, which risk of forfeiture lapses with respect to 50% of the shares on the date that is six months from the date of grant, 20% on the date that is twelve months from the date of grant, 20% on the date that is eighteen months from the date of grant, and the final 10% on the date that is twenty-four months from the date of grant, all contingent upon the recipient’s continued service with the Company. These awards were authorized and issued under the Company’s equity incentive plan adopted in February 2012.  At March 31, 2012, all 1,655,000 shares were subject to forfeiture.

Preferred Stock
At March 31, 2012, the Company was authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of its preferred stock with a par value of $0.001. 11,222,874 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding at March 31, 2012 and 6,666,667 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2011.

In October 2011, the Company sold 4,000,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock to a corporate investor for $3,000,000.

When the Company acquired the Niobrara Asset on October 31, 2011, additional consideration due to the sellers on November 10, 2012 is 1,333,334 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The Company has guaranteed to the sellers that the market value of these shares will be no less than $1 million on such date, calculated as the 30 day average closing sales price quoted for the Company’s publicly-traded securities (if, and as applicable).  Under certain conditions, the sellers may elect to receive their proportionate share of the $1 million in cash rather than shares, including in the event the Company’s shares are not publicly-traded.  As collateral for this obligation, from October 31, 2011 until the Company satisfies this obligation to the sellers, the sellers hold a lien on all of the Company’s interests in the Niobrara Asset, together with tangible and intangible assets attributable thereto.

In October 2011, the Company repaid the $200,000 note payable to its president and chief executive plus accrued interest of $4,258.  Upon receipt of these proceeds, the president and chief executive officer used the proceeds to purchase through an entity owned and controlled by him, 266,667 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $0.75 per share.

In October 2011, the Company converted the $900,000 note payable to Global Venture Investments, LLC into 2,400,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock.  Pursuant to the terms of the note, the note’s principal converted into Series A Preferred Stock at a price per share of $0.375, which was equal to 50% of the $0.75 price per share of the Series A Preferred Stock, as required pursuant to the note.  As required pursuant to the terms of the note, the Company also issued a warrant to purchase 480,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the noteholder as described in Note 6.

Liquidation Preferences
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Company to the holders of the common stock, an amount per share equal to the amount paid for their shares and all declared but unpaid dividends on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock. If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amounts due to them, then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive.

Dividend Rights
Dividends, if and when declared by the board of directors, accrue at an annualized rate of 6% and are not cumulative.

In October 2011, the Company granted to three of its consultants and employees, non-qualified and incentive stock options exercisable for a total of 110,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.08 per share. 50% of the shares subject to the options vest six months from the date of grant, 20% vest one year from the date of grant, 20% vest eighteen months from the date of grant, and the final 10% vest two years from the date of grant, all contingent upon the recipient’s continued service with the Company.  The options have a ten year term.

In October 2011, the Company also granted options, exercisable for 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.08 per share with a ten year term, as partial consideration for STXRA’s agreement to provide consulting services to the Company and serve as the operator of the Niobrara Asset.  50% of the shares subject to the option vest six months from the date of grant, 25% vest one year from the date of grant, and the balance of 25% vests eighteen months from the date of grant, all contingent upon the operator’s continued service with the Company.

In October 2011, the Company granted a non-qualified performance-based option to its consulting executive vice president for 300,000 shares at $0.08 per share with a term of 10 years. At December 31, 2011 none of the performance milestones had been met and, as a result, no expense was recorded in 2011 for this award. This award was modified in February 2012 to a time-based vesting schedule in connection with this consultant becoming a full-time employee of the Company.  The vesting terms of the option exercisable for these 300,000 shares are now 50% of the shares subject to the option vesting on March 1, 2012, 25% on June 1, 2012, and the balance of 25% on January 1, 2013, all contingent upon the recipient’s continued service with the Company.
