ROCKDALE RESOURCES CORPORATION
(FORMERLY ART DESIGN, INC.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Art Design, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Colorado on January 16, 2002.  In April 2012 the Company discontinued its prior operations and became involved in the exploration and development of oil and gas. On May 4th 2012, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Rockdale Resources Corporation (the “Company”).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s latest Annual Report filed with SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, 2011, as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.

Use of Estimates

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements through the filing date and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company.
 
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through offerings of debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
 
NOTE 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company had a note payable to a Company officer. The note is unsecured and payable upon demand. The note bears interest at 8% per annum if not paid promptly upon demand. The outstanding principal balance on the note was $0 and $34,201 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The balance was paid in full during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company had a note payable to a Company officer. The note is unsecured and payable upon demand. The note bears interest at 8% per annum. The outstanding principal balance on the note was $0 and $8,100 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The balance was paid in full during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

On March 14, 2012 the Company entered into a promissory note with a related party in the amount of $100,000.  The note amount bears a 0% interest rate, and was unsecured.  The note was paid in full during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

NOTE 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Cont’d)

In addition, through June 30, 2012, related parties contributed another $5,044 to the Company for operations. The payable was paid in full during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company loaned $9,800 to a Company affiliated through common control. The receivable balance was $24,800 at December 31, 2011.  The receivable balance was forgiven in connection with the Company’s change in control on May 4, 2012.  The Company recorded a bad debt expense of $24,800 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
 
NOTE 4. EQUITY

In April 2012 the Company purchased 9,125,500 of the Company’s common stock from an unrelated third party for $9,126.

During April 2012 the Company issued 210,000 shares of its common stock to an officer and employee of the Company in exchange for services rendered at a price of $0.02 per share.

During April, 2012 we sold 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to a group of private investors for $51,250.
 
In April 2012 we sold 8,367,850 shares of our common stock to our officers, directors and private investors for $173,902. 
 
Between April 1, 2012 and August 31, 2012 we sold 5,781,798 shares of our common stock, at a price of 0.70 per share, to a group of private investors and one of our directors.  A director in the Company purchased 250,000 of these shares.
  
As a result of the foregoing, a change of control took place, and the Company’s ability to use any net operating losses for federal income tax purposes will be significantly restricted.

NOTE 5. OIL AND GAS ACQUISITIONS
 
In April 2012, the Company entered into a farmout agreement with a related party pertaining to a 200-acre lease in Milam County, Texas at a price of $475,000.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company had completed the drilling of six wells on the lease.    The total amount incurred for the drilling of the six wells was $1,525,000 as of September 30, 2012.
 
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company, as a lessee of oil and gas properties, is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment. These laws and regulations may, among other things, impose liability on the lessee under an oil and gas lease for the cost of pollution clean-up resulting from operations and subject the lessee to liability for pollution damages. In some instances, the Company may be directed to suspend or cease operations in the affected area.  The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of September 30, 2012, which have not been provided for, covered by insurance or otherwise have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. There can be no assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change, or past noncompliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on the Company’s properties.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
The information contained in this Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including among other things, statements regarding our capital needs, business strategy and expectations. Any statement which does not contain a historical fact may be deemed to be a forward-looking statement. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "intend", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential" or "continue", the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. In evaluating forward looking statements, you should consider various factors outlined in our latest Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 30, 2012, and, from time to time, in other reports we file with the SEC. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between our actual results and those reflected in these statements.

Item 2.      Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Background

We were incorporated in Colorado in January 2002.

We planned to sell custom framed artwork, art accessories, and interior design consulting. However, we generated only limited revenue since inception and have been inactive since 2008.

In February 2012 we decided it would be in the best interests of our shareholders to no longer pursue our original business plan and, instead, to become active in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties. In furtherance of our business plan, the following have taken place:

·               During April, 2012 we sold 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to a group of private investors for $51,250.
 
·               In April 2012 we sold 8,367,850 shares of our common stock to our officers, directors and private investors for $173,902.
 
·               Between April 1, 2012 and August 31, 2012 we sold 5,781,798 shares of our common stock, at a price of $0.70 per share, to our directors and private investors.
 
·               On May 4, 2012 we changed our name to Rockdale Resources Corporation.

Minerva-Rockdale Field

The Minerva-Rockdale Field, which is located approximately 30 miles Northeast of Austin, was first discovered in 1921 and is approximately 50 square miles in size. The main producing formation for this field is the Upper Cretaceous Navarro Group of sands and shales. The Navarro is typically subdivided into several producing zones from the uppermost “A” and “B” sands to the lower “C” and “D” sands. The “B” sand is the primary producing zone. These sands are commonly fine grained and poorly sorted and were deposited close to a shoreline during a cycle of marine regression.  The first well in the Minerva-Rockdale field came on producing 7 bbls/day in 1921.  As of September 30, 2012 there were over 14,000 wells drilled and the field has produced  approximately 8.5 million bbls of oil. The oil is light, paraffin base, and has a API gravity around 40 degrees. Water production in the “B” sands is very low.

In April 2012 we entered into an agreement with Kingman Operating Company, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement:

·  
we paid Kingman $475,000 for the assignment of a 100% working interest (75% net revenue interest) in an oil and gas lease covering 200 acres in the Minerva-Rockdale field.
 
·  
we paid Kingman $1,375,000 to drill and complete our first five wells.
 
·  
we paid Kingman $150,000 to drill and complete our sixth well. We are in the process of completing this well.
 
·  
we will pay Kingman $210,000 to drill and complete any additional wells on the 200 acre lease.
 
·  
at any time on or before November 1, 2012 we had the right to acquire a 100% working interest (75% net revenue interest) in a lease covering 300 acres, which lease is immediately adjacent to the 200 acre lease referred to above.  The cost of this lease will be $1,200,000.  If we acquired this lease, we would pay Kingman $210,000 to drill and complete any wells which we choose to drill on the lease.
 

In November 2012 we and Kingman amended our agreement relating to the 300 acre lease such that we issued Kingman 400,000 shares of our restricted common stock, valued at $280,000, for the option to acquire the lease at any time on or before January 31, 2012 for $920,000.

As of September 30, 2012 our first five oil wells in the Minerva-Rockdale Field  were collectively producing 15 to 20 bbls of oil and 40 bbls of water per day.  We have identified drilling sites for forty additional wells on our lease in the Minerva-Rockdale Field. 

We plan to drill, and if warranted, complete, additional oil wells in the Minerva-Rockdale Field.  Any future wells in the field will be drilled to sufficient depths to test the shallow Navarro B formation (approximate depth of 1,800 feet).  Each well will take approximately seven days to drill and complete.  Kingman will be the operator for the lease and will be paid $400 per month for each well we drill and complete.

Results of Operations/Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since we did not become active until April 2012, a comparison of our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 with the comparable periods in 2011 would not be meaningful.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012:

·  
Oil and gas sales and lease operating expenses increased as our first wells began producing.
 
·  
Bad debt expense resulted from the write-off of a receivable that we determined was no longer collectible,
 
·  
General and Administrative expenses increased as a result of our transition to an oil and gas company,

Our sources and (uses) of funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were:
 
Cash provided (used) in operations
  $ (1,071,192 )
Purchase of properties and equipment
    (16,823 )
Purchase of oil and gas lease
    (475,000 )
Drilling and completion costs
    (1,525,00 )
Advances from related parties
    110,557  
Repayment of advances from related parties
    (156,108 )
Purchase of treasury stock
    (9,126 )
Sale of common stock
    4,272,403  
 
Our anticipated capital requirements for the twelve months ending September 30, 2013 are as follows:

Drilling and completion of oil wells
 
$
2,475,000
 
Corporate overhead
   
525,000

Plan of Operation

We plan to evaluate undeveloped oil and gas prospects and participate in drilling activities on those prospects which, in the opinion of management, are favorable for the production of oil or gas.  If, through our review, a geographical area indicates geological and economic potential, we will attempt to acquire leases or other interests in the area.  We may then attempt to sell portions of our leasehold interests in a prospect to third parties, thus sharing the risks and rewards of the exploration and development of the prospect with the other owners.  One or more wells may be drilled on a prospect, and if the results indicate the presence of sufficient oil and gas reserves, additional wells may be drilled on the prospect.

Our strategy is to acquire other similar prospects in or adjacent to existing fields with further development potential and minimum risk in the same area.
 

We may also:

·  
acquire a working interest in one or more prospects from others and participate with the other working interest owners in drilling, and if warranted, completing oil or gas wells on a prospect, or
 
·  
purchase producing oil or gas properties.

Our activities will primarily be dependent upon available financing.

Title to properties which we may acquire will be subject to royalty, overriding royalty, carried, net profits, working and other similar interests and contractual arrangements customary in the oil and gas industry, to liens for current taxes not yet due and to other encumbrances.  As is customary in the industry, in the case of undeveloped properties little investigation of record title will be made at the time of acquisition (other than a preliminary review of local records).  However, drilling title opinions may be obtained before commencement of drilling operations.
 
Michael Smith, one of our officers and directors, is an officer and director of Kingman Energy, LLC. Kingman Operating Company is controlled by Kingman Energy.

Information on leases operated by reliable operators indicate a production decline of 50% in the first two years followed by steady 2-4 bbl/day production that, in some cases, can last for many years.

If, in our sole discretion, the estimated future production from wells drilled on the leases in the Rockdale Field does not warrant further drilling, we plan to attempt to drill wells in other areas.

Trends Affecting Future Operations

The factors that will most significantly affect our results of operations will be (i) the sale prices of crude oil and natural gas, (ii) the amount of production from oil or gas wells in which we have an interest, and (iii) lease operating expenses.  Our revenues will also be significantly impacted by our ability to maintain or increase oil or gas production through exploration and development activities.

It is expected that our principal source of cash flow will be from the production and sale of crude oil and natural gas reserves which are depleting assets.  Cash flow from the sale of oil and gas production depends upon the quantity of production and the price obtained for the production.  An increase in prices will permit us to finance our operations to a greater extent with internally generated funds, may allow us to obtain equity financing more easily or on better terms, and lessens the difficulty of obtaining financing. However, price increases heighten the competition for oil and gas prospects, increase the costs of exploration and development, and, because of potential price declines, increase the risks associated with the purchase of producing properties during times that prices are at higher levels.

A decline in oil and gas prices (i) will reduce the cash flow internally generated by the Company which in turn will reduce the funds available for exploring for and replacing oil and gas reserves, (ii) will increase the difficulty of obtaining equity and debt financing and worsen the terms on which such financing may be obtained, (iii) will reduce the number of oil and gas prospects which have reasonable economic terms, (iv) may cause us to permit leases to expire based upon the value of potential oil and gas reserves in relation to the costs of exploration, (v) may result in marginally productive oil and gas wells being abandoned as non-commercial, and (vi) may increase the difficulty of obtaining financing.  However, price declines reduce the competition for oil and gas properties and correspondingly reduce the prices paid for leases and prospects.
 
Other than the foregoing, we do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that will have, or are reasonably expected to have, a material impact on our sales, revenues or expenses.
 
We plan to generate profits by drilling productive oil or gas wells.  However, we will need to raise the funds required to drill new wells through the sale of our securities, from loans from third parties or from third parties willing to pay our share of drilling and completing the wells.  We do not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide us with any additional capital.  If additional financing is not available when needed, we may need to cease operations.  We may not be successful in raising the capital needed to drill oil or gas wells.  Any wells which we may drill may not be productive of oil or gas.
