Item 1. Business
 
Corporate Overview
 
We are an exploration stage company, incorporated in the State of Nevada on June13, 2012, as a for-profit company, and electing a fiscal year end of July 31.  Our business office is located at 8580 E. Bellewood Place, Denver, CO, 80237 and our registered office is located at 2620 Regatta
Drive, Suite 102, Las Vegas, NV, 89128. Our telephone number is 1-800-493-0740.  We have reserved a domain main www.Freedompetroleum.com.
 
Current Business
 
We are engaged in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties.
 
We have acquired 100% of a 624 net acre Bakken shale lease in Lewis and Clark County, Montana, which we plan to explore for oil and gas, subject to overriding royalty of 3.3333%. This property is described in "Description of Property" further in this 10-K. We have had limited operations and have been issued a "going concern" opinion by our auditor, based upon our reliance on the sale of our common stock as the sole source of funds for our future operations.

Markets
 
The availability of a ready market and the prices obtained for produced oil and gas depends on many factors, including the extent of domestic production and imports of oil and gas, the proximity and capacity of natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities, fluctuating demand for oil and gas, the marketing of competitive fuels, and the effects of governmental regulation of oil and gas production and sales. A ready domestic market for oil and gas exists because of the presence of pipelines to transport oil and gas. The existence of an international market exists depends upon the presence of international delivery systems and political and pricing factors.
 
If we are successful in producing oil and gas in the future, the target customers for our oil and gas are expected to be refiners, remarketers and third party intermediaries, who either have, or have access to, consumer delivery systems. We intend to sell our oil and gas under both short-term (less than one year) and long-term (one year or more) agreements at prices negotiated with third parties. Typically either the entire contract (in the case of short-term contracts) or the price provisions of the contract (in the case of long-term contracts) are renegotiated at intervals ranging in frequency from daily to annually.
 
We have not yet adopted any specific sales and marketing plans. However, as we purchase future properties, the need to hire marketing personnel will be addressed.
 
Competition
 
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. We are a new exploration stage company and have a weak competitive position in the industry. We compete with junior and senior oil and gas companies, independent producers and institutional and individual investors who are actively seeking to acquire oil and gas properties throughout the world together with the equipment, labor and materials required to operate on those properties. Competition for the acquisition of oil and gas interests is intense with many oil and gas leases or concessions available in a competitive bidding process in which we may lack the technological information or expertise available to other bidders.
 
Many of the oil and gas companies with which we compete for financing and for the acquisition of oil and gas properties have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquiring oil and gas interests of merit or on exploring or developing their oil and gas properties. This advantage could enable our competitors to acquire oil and gas properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may choose to finance their additional exploration and development. Such competition could adversely impact our ability to attain the financing necessary for us to acquire further oil and gas interests or explore and develop our current or future oil and gas properties.
 
We also compete with other junior oil and gas companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to invest in such companies. The presence of competing junior oil and gas companies may impact our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our acquisition or exploration programs if investors perceive that investments in our competitors are more attractive based on the merit of their oil and gas properties or the price of the investment opportunity. In addition, we compete with both junior and senior oil and gas companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, land specialists, engineers, camp staff, helicopters, float planes, oil and gas exploration supplies and drill rigs.
 
General competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of energy legislation and/or regulation introduced from time to time by the governments of the United States and other countries, as well as factors beyond our control, including international political conditions, overall levels of supply and demand for oil and gas, and the markets for synthetic fuels and alternative energy sources.

In the face of competition, we may not be successful in acquiring, exploring or developing profitable oil and gas properties or interests, and we cannot give any assurance that suitable oil and gas properties or interests will be available for our acquisition, exploration or development. Despite this, we hope to compete successfully in the oil and gas industry by:
 
·  
keeping our costs low;
·  
relying on the strength of our management's contacts; and
·  
using our size and experience to our advantage by adapting quickly to changing market conditions or responding swiftly to potential opportunities.

Government Regulations
 
GENERAL. Our exploration activities are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing exploration, environmental matters, occupational health and safety, taxes, labor standards and other matters. All material licenses, permits and other authorizations currently required for our operations have been obtained or timely applied for. Compliance is often burdensome, and failure to comply carries substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases the cost of doing business and affects profitability.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Our operations are subject to numerous laws relating to environmental protection. These laws impose substantial penalties for any pollution resulting from our operations. We believe that our operations substantially comply with applicable environmental laws.
 
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), also known as the "Superfund" law, imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on some classes of persons that are considered to have contributed to the release of a "hazardous substance" into the environment. These persons include but are not limited to the owner or operator of the site or sites where the release occurred or was threatened and companies that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances found at the site. Persons responsible for releases of hazardous substances under CERCLA may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances and for damages to natural resources. Despite the RCRA exemption that encompasses wastes directly associated with crude oil and gas production and the "petroleum exclusion" of CERCLA, we may generate or arrange for the disposal of "hazardous substances" within the meaning of CERCLA or comparable state statutes in the course of our ordinary operations. Thus, we may be responsible under CERCLA (or the state equivalents) for costs required to clean up sites where the release of a "hazardous substance" has occurred. Also, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for cleanup costs as well as personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. Thus, we may be subject to cost recovery and to some other claims as a result of our operations.
 
AIR. Our operations are also subject to regulation of air emissions under the Clean Air Act, comparable state and local requirements and the OCSLA. The scheduled implementation of these laws could lead to the imposition of new air pollution control requirements on our operations. Therefore, we may incur future capital expenditures to upgrade our air pollution control equipment. We do not believe that our operations would be materially affected by these requirements, nor do we expect the requirements to be any more burdensome to us than to other companies our size involved in exploration and production activities.
 

 
5

 
 
WATER. The Clean Water Act prohibits any discharge into waters of the United States except in strict conformance with permits issued by federal and state agencies. Failure to comply with the ongoing requirements of these laws or inadequate cooperation during a spill event may subject a responsible party to civil or criminal enforcement actions. Similarly, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 imposes liability on "responsible parties" for the discharge or substantial threat of discharge of oil into navigable waters or adjoining shorelines. A "responsible party" includes the owner or operator of a facility or vessel, or the lessee or permittee of the area in which a facility is located. The Oil Pollution Act assigns liability to each responsible party for oil removal costs and a variety of public and private damages. While liability limits apply in some circumstances, a party cannot take advantage of liability limits if the spill was caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct, or resulted from violation of a federal safety, construction or operating regulation. If the party fails to report a spill or to cooperate fully in the cleanup, liability limits likewise do not apply. Even if applicable, the liability limits for offshore facilities require the responsible party to pay all removal costs, plus up to $75 million in other damages. Few defenses exist to the liability imposed by the Oil Pollution Act.
 
The Oil Pollution Act also requires a responsible party to submit proof of its financial responsibility to cover environmental cleanup and restoration costs that could be incurred in connection with an oil spill. The Oil Pollution Act requires parties responsible for offshore facilities to provide financial assurance in amounts that vary from $35 million to $150 million depending on a company's calculation of its "worst case" oil spill. We intend to have insurance to cover our facilities' "worst case" oil spill under the Oil Pollution Act regulations if we enter operations. As a result, we believe that we are in compliance with the Oil Pollution Act.
 
SAFETY AND HEALTH REGULATIONS. We are also subject to laws and regulations concerning occupational safety and health. We do not currently anticipate making substantial expenditures because of occupational safety and health laws and regulations. We cannot predict how or when these laws may be changed, or the ultimate cost of compliance with any future changes. However, we do not believe that any action taken will affect us in a way that materially differs from the way it would affect other companies in our industry.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We do not currently hold rights to any intellectual property and have not filed for copyright or trademark protection for our name or services.
 
Research and Development
 
Since our inception to the date of this annual report, we have not spent any money on research and development activities.
 
Employees
 
We are an exploration stage company and currently have no employees, other than our officers and directors who provide their services on a consulting basis.
 
Reports to Security Holders
 
We are required to file quarterly, annual and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12(b) or (g) of the Exchange Act.  The public may read and copy any materials filed by us with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549.  The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.  The Company files its reports electronically with the SEC.  The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other electronic information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
Risks Associated With Our Company.
 
Our independent auditors have issued and audit opinion for our company, which includes a statement describing our going concern status.  Our financial status creates a doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.
 
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion regarding our company.  This means there is substantial doubt we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty regarding our ability to continue in business.  As such we may have to cease operations and investors could lose part or all of their investment in our company.
 
The oil and natural gas industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring leases.
 
The oil and natural gas industry is intensely competitive. Although we do not compete with other oil and gas companies for the sale of any oil and gas that we may produce, as there is sufficient demand in the world market for these products, we compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and natural gas companies which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staff. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and natural gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds. We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed.
 
There can be no assurance that we will discover oil or natural gas in any commercial quantity on our properties.
 
Exploration for economic reserves of oil and natural gas is subject to a number of risks. There is competition for the acquisition of available oil and natural gas properties. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing oil and/or natural gas wells. If we cannot discover oil or natural gas in any commercial quantity thereon, our business will fail.
 
Even if we are able to engage in exploration on our property and establish that it contains oil or natural gas in commercially exploitable quantities, the potential profitability of oil and natural gas ventures depends upon factors beyond the control of our company.
 
The potential profitability of oil and natural gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and natural gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social and economic environments. Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. In addition, adverse weather conditions can hinder drilling operations. These changes and events may materially affect our future financial performance. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and the combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

In addition, a productive well may become uneconomic in the event water or other deleterious substances are encountered which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or natural gas from the well. Production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances. Also, the marketability of oil and natural gas which may be acquired or discovered will be affected by numerous related factors, including the proximity and capacity of oil and natural gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection, all of which could result in greater expenses than revenue generated by the well.
 
The marketability of natural resources will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control which may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.
 
The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include market fluctuations in oil and natural gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of oil and natural gas and environmental protection regulations. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.
 
Oil and natural gas operations are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our company.
 
Oil and natural gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and natural gas operations are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages. To date, we have not been required to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so in the future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.
 
Exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of our operations.
 
In general, our exploration and production activities are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of a given operation. Specifically, we may be subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.

Exploratory drilling involves many risks and we may become liable for pollution or other liabilities which may have an adverse effect on our financial position.
 
Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, power outages, labor disruptions, blow-outs, sour natural gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor, and other risks are involved. We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which it cannot adequately insure or which it may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.
 
Any change to government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and our profitability.
 
The business of oil and natural gas exploration and development is subject to substantial regulation under various countries laws relating to the exploration for, and the development, upgrading, marketing, pricing, taxation, and transportation of oil and natural gas and related products and other matters. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of oil and natural gas exploration and development operations could have a material adverse impact on our business. Permits, leases, licenses, and approvals are required from a variety of regulatory authorities at various stages of exploration and development. There can be no assurance that the various government permits, leases, licenses and approvals sought will be granted in respect of our activities or, if granted, will not be cancelled or will be renewed upon expiry. There is no assurance that such permits, leases, licenses, and approvals will not contain terms and provisions which may adversely affect our exploration and development activities.
 
Risks Associated with Our Common Stock
 
Our shares are defined as "penny stock." The rules imposed on the sale of the shares may affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.
 
Our shares are defined as a “penny stock” under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission.  The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer.  For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the sale.  In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission.  Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase.
 
Market for penny stock has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse
 
Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.  Such patterns include:
 
·  
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

 
 
9

 

 
·  
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
·  
Boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons;
·  
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and,
·  
The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequential investor losses.

Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.  Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.  The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
 
We will incur ongoing costs and expenses for SEC reporting and compliance.
 
Going forward, our company will have ongoing SEC compliance and reporting obligations.  Such ongoing obligations will require our company to expend additional amounts on compliance, legal and auditing costs.  In order for us to remain in compliance we will require future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources.
 
Our directors will control and make corporate decisions that may differ from those that might be made by the other shareholders.
 
Due to the controlling amount of their share ownership in our company, our directors will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions, including the power to prevent or cause a change in control.  Their interests may differ from the interests of other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders.
 
Inability and unlikelihood to pay dividends
 
To date, we have not paid, nor do we intend to pay in the foreseeable future, dividends on our common stock, even if we become profitable.  Earnings, if any, are expected to be used to advance our activities and for general corporate purposes, rather than to make distributions to stockholders.  Prospective investors will likely need to rely on an increase in the price of our company’s stock to profit from his or her investment.  There are no guarantees that any market for our common stock will ever develop or that the price of our stock will ever increase.
 
Since we are not in a financial position to pay dividends on our common stock and future dividends are not presently being contemplated, investors are advised that return on investment in our common stock is restricted to an appreciation in the share price.  The potential or likelihood of an increase in share price is questionable at best.
 
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
 
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 2. Properties
 
Our company’s principal place of business and corporate offices are located at 8580 E. Bellewood Place, Denver, CO 80237, our telephone number is 1-800-493-0740.  The Company entered into an informal agreement to rent office space on a month-to-month basis with an unrelated party for $300/month to begin on January 1, 2013. The Company began sharing the office space with other tenants on June 1, 2013, also on a month-to-month basis. These tenants are subleasing the space from the Company for $300/month and the Company recognized $600 of other income related to the two months of office sharing.
 
Bear River Prospect, Lewis and Clark County, Montana
 
We have acquired 100%, subject to an overriding royalty of 3.3333% of 8/8ths of all the oil, gas and other hydrocarbons produced, saved and marketed, of a 624 net acre Bakken shale lease in Lewis and Clark County, Montana, known as the Bear River Prospect. The Bear River Prospect is specifically at Township 15 North, Range 4 West and is legally described as Section 32: Lots 1 through 8, E2.
 
OWNERSHIP
 
On July 23, 2012 we entered into, and on August 2, 2012 we closed on a Lease Purchase Agreement with Summit West Oil, LLC pursuant to which we acquired the Bear River Prospect for $15,000. The lease is subject to a 3.3333% royalty owed to Summit West Oil, LLC, as well as a 16.67% royalty owed to the government of Montana over all oil and gas produced from the property.
 
The lease is for a ten year term with a commencement date of June 5, 2012. The ability to renew the lease is to be renegotiated before or upon termination if Freedom Petroleum Inc. should choose to renew the leasing rights. The lease is extended automatically upon the ignition of oil or gas production from the property.
 
LOCATION
 
The Bear River opportunity is located in an area of the Alberta Bakken Fairway in Section 32 - Township 15 North - Range 4 West, Lewis & Clark County, Montana.  It is where the western edge of the Bakken Fairway plunges into contact with the tectonically heated Thrust Zone and where our management believes, the resulting thermal maturity of the Bakken offers high potential for oil production.

GEOLOGY
 
The Bakken shale in the Bear River Prospect area is considered mature in geological terms. The vitreonix isopach demonstrates that the Bear River Prospect is well within the window of maturity, having an Ro between .75-1.0 regionally. The resistivity of the offsetting wells exceeds 400 ohms.
 
The Bakken development is considered simple and basic. A large blanket deposit covering hundreds of square miles is present and is currently being developed by approximately 200 drilling rigs in the Williston Basin. Our management believes that the western Bakken is very similar. Resistivity on logs and regional isopach maps of Bakken maturity guides the site selection for development. We believe that the Bear River Prospect is well within the maturity window.

In order to advance our property to a stage that would make the property of interest for a farm-in opportunity we will need to undertake the early stages of exploration ourselves. Our holdings do not currently have a resource.  Our initial work plan for the first year will include a detailed review of all publicly available data and prepare for two drilling locations. In particular, the review will include a detailed assessment of publicly available drilling information to help us assess whether our properties may contain the type of formations that typically host crude oil in Montana. The review will also help to determine which other oil companies are exploring or drilling in our area in order to help us assess the possibility of approaching those companies for potential farm-in opportunities.
 
In addition to reviewing publicly available information we intend to conduct seismology studies to best make further determinations of geological potential. Seismology is a geophysical method of determining geologic structure by means of prospector-induced elastic waves. In exploration seismology, artificial sources are used that have periods of tenths of a second and tens of meters of resolution.
 
The seismic method as applied to exploration of oil and gas involves field acquisition, data processing, and geologic interpretation. Seismic field acquisition requires placement of acoustic receivers (geophones) on the surface. The end result of seismic data processing is the production of a subsurface profile similar to a geologic cross section. It is commonly plotted in a time scale, but it is also possible to plot it in depth. These time or depth profiles are used for geologic interpretation. Geologic interpretation of seismic data has two key components, structural and stratigraphic. Structural interpretation of seismic data involves mapping of the geologic relief of different subsurface strata by using seismic data as well as information from boreholes and outcrops. Stratigraphic interpretation looks at attributes within a common stratum and interprets changes to infer varying reservoir conditions such as lithology, porosity, and fluid content.
 
Based on the results of the planned work program the next step in the exploration process will likely be to approach oil companies in the area to discuss farm-in opportunities or to raise additional funds in order to drill a well.
 
We believe our initial exploration program will cost approximately $30,000 to complete. The breakdown for the program is as follows:
 
PHASE 1
 
Exploration
 
Cost
 
       
Drillings Permits & Location Surveys [2 x $3,500]
  $ 7,000  
Geological Field Mapping - 2 Geologists @ $1,600/day X 5 days
    8,000  
Well Site Location & Environmental Study
    7,500

    3,000  
Travel & Lodging
    2,500  
Administrative & Communications
    2,000  
TOTAL
  $ 30,000  
 
If this initial phase provides us with positive results, we will undertake a second phase of exploration in an attempt to delineate an oil and gas reserve on our property. This second phase will cost approximately $150,000 and we will need additional capital in order to carry out this plan. The proposed second step of exploration on the Bear River Prospect is as follows:
 
PHASE 2
 
Exploration
 
Cost
 
       
3D Seismic Line Over Prospect Area
  $ 75,000  
Reclamation Bond for Drilling Operations

Project Administration
    10,000  
Third Party Services, Deposits For Other Drilling Services
    5,000  
TOTAL
  $ 150,000  
 
We have not recognized any revenue from our oil and gas project and do not expect to generate any revenue for at least 12 months. Our property does not contain any known reserves or resources of oil or gas.

Plan of Operation
 
We are a start-up, exploration-stage company and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
 
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion on our audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2013.  This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills.  This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals.  There is no assurance we will ever reach this point.  Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources from other sources.  Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others.  We must raise cash to implement our project and stay in business. As of July 31, 2013, our company had $1,674 in cash on hand.
 
We have acquired 100%, subject to an overriding royalty of 3.3333% of 8/8ths of all the oil, gas and other hydrocarbons produced, saved and marketed, of a 624 net acre Bakken shale lease in Lewis and Clark County, Montana, known as the Bear River Prospect. The Bear River Prospect is specifically at Township 15 North, Range 4 West and is legally described as Section 32: Lots 1 through 8, E2.
 
On July 23, 2012 we entered into, and on August 2, 2012 we closed on a Lease Purchase Agreement with Summit West Oil, LLC pursuant to which we acquired the Bear River Prospect for $15,000. The lease is subject to a 3.3333% royalty owed to Summit West Oil, LLC, as well as a 16.67% royalty owed to the government of Montana over all oil and gas produced from the property.
 
The lease is for a ten year term with a commencement date of June 5, 2012. The ability to renew the lease is to be renegotiated before or upon termination if Freedom Petroleum Inc. should choose to renew the leasing rights. The lease is extended automatically upon the ignition of oil or gas production from the property.
 
If we are unable to complete any phase of our exploration program because we do not have sufficient capital, we will cease operations until we raise more money.  If we cannot or do not raise additional capital, we will cease operations.  If we cease operations, we do not have any additional plans at this time.
 
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
 
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance.  We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations.  We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations.  Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
 
 
 
16

 
 
To become profitable and competitive, we must conduct the research and exploration of our properties before we start production of any minerals we may find.  We sought equity financing to provide for the capital required to implement our research and exploration phases.  We do not believe we have sufficient funds to operate our business for the 12 months.
 
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms.  If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations.  Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

Net Increase (decrease) in Cash During Period
  $ (22,556 )   $ 24,230  
 
As at July 31, 2013, our company’s cash balance was $1,674 compared to $24,230 as at July 31, 2012 and our total assets at July 31, 2013 were $1,674 compared with $39,230 as at July 31, 2012. The decrease in cash was primarily due to professional fees and general and administrative for ongoing regulatory costs.  The decrease in assets is attributable to the impairment of our unproven oil and natural gas property as well as the decrease in cash.
 
As at July 31, 2013, our company had total liabilities of $12,224 compared with total liabilities of $20,474 as at July 31, 2012. The decrease in total liabilities was primarily attributed a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by an increase in related party debt.
 
As at July 31, 2013, our company had a working capital deficiency of $10,550 compared with working capital of $3,756 as at July 31, 2012. The decrease in working capital was primarily attributed the decrease in cash.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
 
During the year ended July 31, 2013, our company used $60,356 in cash from operating activities compared to cash provided by operating activities of $12,070 during the period ended July 31, 2012. The increase in cash used for operating activities was attributed to an increase in the net loss and a decrease in accounts payable offset by an increase in due to related party and an impairment loss.
 
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
 
During the year ended July 31, 2013, our company used $Nil cash for investing activities compared to cash used in investing activities of $15,000 during the period ended July 31, 2012.
 
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
 
During the year ended July 31, 2013, our company received $37,800 in cash in financing activities primarily from proceeds from the issuance of common shares from our prospectus offering compared to cash provided by financing activities of $27,160 for the period ended July 31, 2012.
 
To meet our need for cash we raised $37,800 from the sale of 25,200,000 registered shares pursuant to our S-1 Registration Statement filed with the SEC, which became effective on December 7, 2012.
 
Our director has verbally agreed to advance funds, on an as-needed basis, to assist in start-up operations, and to continue limited operations if sufficient funds are not raised from other sources. The director both proposed the verbal commitment to loan in order to ensure that our company would be able to continue its operations in the event sufficient funds are not raised in our offering.  While he has agreed to advance the funds, the agreement is verbal.  Because there is no written agreement to loan funds and the verbal agreement may be withdrawn at any time, the verbal agreement is unenforceable.  To date, Thomas Hynes, one of our officers and director, is the only officer to advance funds to our company.  As of July 31, 2013, Mr. Hynes has advanced $8,824 and forgiven $3,000, for total owing of $5,824.
 
We received our initial funding of $27,160 through the sale of common stock to Thomas Hynes, who purchased 17,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 on July 30, 2012 for $17,000, and, 10,000,000 shares to Nina Bijedic on July 31, 2012 for a $10,000.  During the year ended July 31, 2013, we issued 25,200,000 shares of common stock at $0.0015, resulting in total shares issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2013 of 52,200,000. From inception until the date of this filing, we have had limited operating activities.  Our financial statements from inception (June 13, 2012) through the period ended July 31, 2013, reported no revenues and a net loss of $78,510.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We 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.
 
Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is July 31, 2013.

 
 
18

 

Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are presented in U.S. dollars.  The Company is currently an exploration stage enterprise.  An exploration stage enterprise is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from. All losses accumulated since the inception of the business have been considered as part of its exploration stage activities.

Development Stage Company
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to development-stage companies.  A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company had $1,674 of cash at July 31, 2013.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States 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 revenues and expenses during the year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and amounts due to a related party.  The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

Revenue Recognition
The Company has yet to realize revenues from operations and is still in the exploration stage.  The Company will recognize revenue when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is reasonably assured.

Oil and Gas Properties
The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all acquisition, exploration and development costs, including certain payroll, asset retirement costs, other internal costs, and interest incurred for the purpose of finding oil and natural gas reserves, are capitalized. Internal costs that are capitalized are directly attributable to acquisition, exploration and development activities and do not include costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Costs associated with production and general corporate activities are expensed in the period incurred. Proceeds from the sale of oil and natural gas properties are applied to reduce the capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties unless the sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves, in which case a gain or loss is recognized.

 
 
19

 

Capitalized costs associated with impaired properties and capitalized costs related to properties having proved reserves, plus the estimated future development costs, and asset retirement costs under ASC 410 “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations”, are amortized using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. Capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated amortization and deferred income taxes, are limited to the total of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves, discounted at ten percent, plus the cost of unevaluated properties.

There are many factors, including global events that may influence the production, processing, marketing and price of oil and natural gas. A reduction in the valuation of oil and natural gas properties resulting from declining prices or production could adversely impact depletion rates and capitalized cost limitations. Capitalized costs associated with properties that have not been evaluated through drilling or seismic analysis are excluded from the unit-of-production amortization. Exclusions are adjusted annually based on drilling results and interpretative analysis.

Sales of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to the net full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized, unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. If it is determined that the relationship is significantly altered, the corresponding gain or loss will be recognized in the statements of operations.

Costs of oil and gas properties are amortized using the units of production method.

Ceiling test: Under the full cost method of accounting, the net book value of oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated “ceiling”. The ceiling limitation is the estimated after-tax future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10 percent per annum and adjusted for cash flow hedges. Estimated future net cash flows exclude future cash outflows associated with settling accrued asset retirement obligations.

The Company has adopted U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Release 33-8995 and the amendments to ASC 932, “Extractive Industries – Oil and Gas” (the Modernization Rules). Under the Modernization Rules, estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months, held flat for the life of production, except where prices are defined by contractual arrangements.

Any excess of the net book value of proved oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, over the ceiling is charged to expense and reflected as additional depletion, depreciation and amortization expense (“DD&A”) in the accompanying statement  of operations. Such limitations are tested quarterly. As of July 31, 2013, capitalized costs did not exceed the ceiling limitation, and no write-down was indicated.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties
Unproved oil and gas properties are assessed at each reporting period for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of the impairment by providing an impairment allowance. An asset would be impaired if the undiscounted cash flows were less than its carrying value. Impairments are measured by the amount by which the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Because the Company uses the successful efforts method, the Company assesses its properties individually for impairment, instead of on an aggregate pool of costs. Impairment of unproved properties is based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each lease and is recognized based on management’s evaluation. Management’s evaluation follows a two-step process where (1) recoverability of the carrying value of the asset is reviewed to determine if there is sufficient value recoverable to support the capitalized value at the report date; and, (2) if assets fail the recoverability test, impairment testing is conducted, including the evaluation of various criteria such as: prior history of successful operations; production currently in place and/or future projected cash flows (if any); reserve reports or evaluations from which management can prepare future cash flow analyses; the Company’s ability to monetize the asset(s) under evaluation; and Management’s intent regarding future development.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.  The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. There has been no stock-based compensation issued to employees.

The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services,” for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees.  In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined.   There has been no stock-based compensation issued to non-employees.

Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  No provision for income taxes is included in the statement due to its immaterial amount, net of the allowance account, based on the likelihood of the Company to utilize the loss carry-forward.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of July 31, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Freedom Petroleum, Inc.
Las Vegas, NV

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Freedom Petroleum, Inc., as of July 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2013 and the periods from June 12, 2012 (date of inception) to July 31, 2012 and 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Freedom Petroleum, Inc., as of July 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2013, and the periods from June 12, 2012 (date of inception) to July 31, 2012 and 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Freedom Petroleum, Inc. will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit, has incurred losses from operations, and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 9. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

FREEDOM PETROLEUM, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2013

NOTE 1 – GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Freedom Petroleum, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S. on June 13, 2012. The Company is in the exploration stage as defined under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 915”) and it intends to engage in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is July 31, 2013.

Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are presented in U.S. dollars.  The Company is currently an exploration stage enterprise.  An exploration stage enterprise is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from. All losses accumulated since the inception of the business have been considered as part of its exploration stage activities.

Development Stage Company
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to development-stage companies.  A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company had $1,674 of cash at July 31, 2013.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States 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 revenues and expenses during the year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and amounts due to a related party.  The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition
The Company has yet to realize revenues from operations and is still in the exploration stage.  The Company will recognize revenue when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is reasonably assured.

Oil and Gas Properties
The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all acquisition, exploration and development costs, including certain payroll, asset retirement costs, other internal costs, and interest incurred for the purpose of finding oil and natural gas reserves, are capitalized. Internal costs that are capitalized are directly attributable to acquisition, exploration and development activities and do not include costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Costs associated with production and general corporate activities are expensed in the period incurred. Proceeds from the sale of oil and natural gas properties are applied to reduce the capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties unless the sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves, in which case a gain or loss is recognized.

Capitalized costs associated with impaired properties and capitalized costs related to properties having proved reserves, plus the estimated future development costs, and asset retirement costs under ASC 410 “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations”, are amortized using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. Capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated amortization and deferred income taxes, are limited to the total of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves, discounted at ten percent, plus the cost of unevaluated properties.

There are many factors, including global events that may influence the production, processing, marketing and price of oil and natural gas. A reduction in the valuation of oil and natural gas properties resulting from declining prices or production could adversely impact depletion rates and capitalized cost limitations. Capitalized costs associated with properties that have not been evaluated through drilling or seismic analysis are excluded from the unit-of-production amortization. Exclusions are adjusted annually based on drilling results and interpretative analysis.

Sales of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to the net full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized, unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. If it is determined that the relationship is significantly altered, the corresponding gain or loss will be recognized in the statements of operations.

Costs of oil and gas properties are amortized using the units of production method.

Ceiling test: Under the full cost method of accounting, the net book value of oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed a calculated “ceiling”. The ceiling limitation is the estimated after-tax future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10 percent per annum and adjusted for cash flow hedges. Estimated future net cash flows exclude future cash outflows associated with settling accrued asset retirement obligations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2012

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES (CONTINUED)

Oil and Gas Properties (continued)
The Company has adopted U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Release 33-8995 and the amendments to ASC 932, “Extractive Industries – Oil and Gas” (the Modernization Rules). Under the Modernization Rules, estimated future net cash flows are calculated using end-of-period costs and an unweighted arithmetic average of commodity prices in effect on the first day of each of the previous 12 months, held flat for the life of production, except where prices are defined by contractual arrangements.

Any excess of the net book value of proved oil and gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, over the ceiling is charged to expense and reflected as additional depletion, depreciation and amortization expense (“DD&A”) in the accompanying statement  of operations. Such limitations are tested quarterly. As of July 31, 2013, capitalized costs did not exceed the ceiling limitation, and no write-down was indicated.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties
Unproved oil and gas properties are assessed at each reporting period for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of the impairment by providing an impairment allowance. An asset would be impaired if the undiscounted cash flows were less than its carrying value. Impairments are measured by the amount by which the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Because the Company uses the successful efforts method, the Company assesses its properties individually for impairment, instead of on an aggregate pool of costs. Impairment of unproved properties is based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each lease and is recognized based on management’s evaluation. Management’s evaluation follows a two-step process where (1) recoverability of the carrying value of the asset is reviewed to determine if there is sufficient value recoverable to support the capitalized value at the report date; and, (2) if assets fail the recoverability test, impairment testing is conducted, including the evaluation of various criteria such as: prior history of successful operations; production currently in place and/or future projected cash flows (if any); reserve reports or evaluations from which management can prepare future cash flow analyses; the Company’s ability to monetize the asset(s) under evaluation; and Management’s intent regarding future development.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.  The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. There has been no stock-based compensation issued to employees.

The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services,” for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees.  In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined.   There has been no stock-based compensation issued to non-employees.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES (CONTINUED)
 
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  No provision for income taxes is included in the statement due to its immaterial amount, net of the allowance account, based on the likelihood of the Company to utilize the loss carry-forward.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of July 31, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
 
NOTE 3 – DUE TO RELATED PARTY
 
During the period ended July 31, 2012, a related party loaned funds to the Company to pay certain expenses prior to the opening of the Company’s bank account. The loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and has no specific terms of repayment. As of July 31, 2013 and 2012, the balance of this loan is $824.
 
During the year ended July 31, 2013, a related party paid Company expenses in the amount of $3,000 which were later forgiven in full and recorded as contributed capital leaving a balance of $0 as of July 31, 2013. See Note 5.
 
During the year ended July 31, 2013, the sole director and officer of the Company loaned the Company $5,000. The loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand. As of July 31, 2013, the balance of this loan is $5,000.
 
NOTE 4 – OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES
 
On July 23, 2012, the Company purchased a lease from an unrelated third party consisting of approximately 624 net acres in Lewis and Clark County, Montana for a total purchase price of $15,000. In addition, annual rental payments of $937 are due to the State of Montana starting June 1, 2014 through June 5, 2022. The Company has not incurred any exploration or development costs in connection with this lease and, therefore, recorded an impairment loss in the amount of $15,000 as of July 31, 2013.
 
Minimum annual rental payments total $8,434 for the nine-year term. The lease can be extended after June 5, 2022 so long as oil and gas in paying quantities are produced from the land.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES
 
For the year ended July 31, 2013, the Company has incurred a net loss and, therefore, has no tax liability.  The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved.  The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $78,510 at July 31, 2013 and will expire beginning in the year 2032.

The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following for the periods ended July 31, 2013 and 2012:
 
   
2013
   
2012
 
Federal income tax benefit attributable to:

2013
   
2012
 
Deferred tax asset attributable to:

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry-forwards of $78,510 for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur net operating loss carry-forwards may be limited as to use in future years.

NOTE 7 – ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company’s operations and earnings may be affected by various forms of governmental action in the United States. Examples of such governmental action include, but are by no means limited to: tax increases and retroactive tax claims; royalty and revenue sharing increases; import and export controls; price controls; currency controls; allocation of supplies of crude oil and petroleum products and other goods; expropriation of property; restrictions and preferences affecting the issuance of oil and gas or mineral leases; restrictions on drilling and/or production; laws and regulations intended for the promotion of safety and the protection and/or remediation of the environment; governmental support for other forms of energy; and laws and regulations affecting the Company’s relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, stockholders and others. Because governmental actions are often motivated by political considerations and may be taken without full consideration of their consequences, and may be taken in response to actions of other governments, it is not practical to attempt to predict the likelihood of such actions, the form the actions may take or the effect such actions may have on the Company.
 
Companies in the oil and gas industry are subject to numerous federal, state, and local regulations dealing with the environment. Violation of federal or state environmental laws, regulations and permits can result in the imposition of significant civil and criminal penalties, injunctions and construction bans or delays. A discharge of hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent such event is not insured, subject the Company to substantial expense, including both the cost to comply with applicable regulations and claims by neighboring landowners and other third parties for any personal injury and property damage that might result.
 
The Company currently leases a property at which hazardous substances could have been or are being handled. In addition, many of these properties have been operated by third parties whose treatment and disposal or release of hydrocarbons or other wastes were not under the Company’s control. Under existing laws, the Company could be required to remove or remediate previously disposed wastes (including wastes disposed of or released by prior owners or operators), to clean up contaminated property (including contaminated groundwater) or to perform remedial plugging operations to prevent future contamination. The Company is investigating the extent of any such liability and the availability of applicable defenses and believes the costs related to these sites will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net income, financial condition or liquidity in a future period.
 
The Company’s liability for remedial obligations includes certain amounts that are based on anticipated regulatory approval for proposed remediation of former refinery waste sites. Although regulatory authorities may require more costly alternatives than the proposed processes, the cost of such potential alternative processes is not expected to be a material amount. Certain environmental expenditures are likely to be recovered by the Company from other sources, primarily environmental funds maintained by certain states. Since no assurance can be given that future recoveries from other sources will occur, the Company has not recorded a benefit for likely recoveries.
 
There is the possibility that environmental expenditures could be required at currently unidentified sites, and new or revised regulations could require additional expenditures at known sites. However, based on information currently available to the Company, the amount of future remediation costs incurred at known or currently unidentified sites is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future net income, cash flows or liquidity. The Company has recorded $0 for its estimated asset retirement obligations as of July 31, 2013.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company entered into an informal agreement to rent office space on a month-to-month basis with an unrelated party for $300/month to begin on January 1, 2013. The Company began sharing the office space with other tenants on June 1, 2013, also on a month-to-month basis. These tenants are subleasing the space from the Company for $300/month and the Company recognized $600 of other income related to the two months of office sharing.

NOTE 9 – GOING CONCERN

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has a working capital deficit and has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $78,510 as of July 31, 2013. Further losses are anticipated in the development of the business, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans from directors and/or private placement of common stock.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to July 31, 2013 to the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K.  Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to us required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.  With the participation of our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2013 based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.  Based upon such evaluation, our management concluded that we did maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2013 based on the COSO framework criteria.
 
This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers from the internal control audit requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended July 31, 2013, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Business Experience
 
The following is a brief account of the education and business experience during at least the past five years of each director, executive officer and key employee of our company, indicating the person’s principal occupation during that period, and the name and principal business of the organization in which such occupation and employment were carried out.
 
Thomas Hynes – President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Director
 
Thomas Hynes has acted as our president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, treasurer and sole director since inception.  Mr. Hynes has over twenty five years of leadership experience within the energy, mineral and financial industries, with a background in domestic and international oilfield well site services and gold mining/dredging operations.
 
Since November of 2008, Mr. Hynes has been the owner of KTH Oil & Gas Consulting, where he provides geological services including prospect evaluation and creation, well site supervision, and project management; specializing in Rocky Mountain geological regions including Powder River Basin and Crow Indian Nation in Wyoming and Montana. Also since 2008, Mr. Hynes has been the Vice-President of Guffey Gold & Minerals Corporation where he was responsible for overseeing project development, fund raising, and expansion opportunities, supervising all field operations, property acquisition and evaluation, and maximizing production at existing operations. Currently involved in a joint venture operation in Guyana with an existing river dredging operator, the company is producing 450 ounces of gold per month.
 
From October 2006 to November 2009, Mr. Hynes was the Vice President of Field Operations for Golden Arrow Exploration & Bison Acid Service. At Golden Arrow, Mr. Hynes was responsible for supervising well site geological evaluation and oil and gas detection on multiple oil wells drilled on the Crow Indian Reservation, South of Billings, Montana. Wells were drilled to the Tensleep (Minnelusa) Formation for potential oil production, and other shallow gas formations were evaluated for natural gas production. From November 1990 to April 2009 Mr. Hynes was a Registered Representative at Northeast Securities in Denver, Colorado. At Northeast Securities Mr. Hynes raised capital for oil companies, airline leasing companies, entertainment companies, and high-tech companies. Additionally, he supervised the retail accounts of 300 investors, and several dozen stockbrokers with emphasis on suitability, compliance and production.

Mr. Hynes is qualified to sit on our board of directors due to his experience with oil and gas operations as well as his past work in raising capital and managing investments.
 
Nina Bijedic – Secretary
 
Nina Bijedic graduated from the Zagreb Engineering Faculty.  Ms. Bijedic is a safety engineer by trade. From 1987 to 2005, she worked for INA (INA – Industrija nafte, or INA for short, is the national oil company of Croatia.) She worked there for 18 years monitoring systems, pumps and also worked as a controller for the finance department. The main INA company, INA d.d., is involved in exploration and production of oil and gas, deriving oil and the trade of oil and oil derivatives. The INA Group is the group of daughter-companies, including PROplin, which deals with liquefied petroleum gas, Crosco which deals in drilling & well services, STSI for technical services and Maziva-Zagreb which produces lubricants. INA also owns a stake in JANAF, the Adriatic oil pipeline. Nina Bijedic is currently self-employed. In 2005 she left INA to start her own consulting company Benjamin Stil d.o.o. Her company is registered as a consulting firm that provides both foreign and domestic services for safety engineering, brokerage and consulting and marketing research.
 
Currently,  Mr. Hynes spends approximately 25 hours a week on our affairs and Ms. Bijedic devotes approximately 15 hours per week on developing our business plan and developing marketing and capital raising materials.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
 
Our company’s common stock is not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Accordingly, officers, directors and principal shareholders are not subject to the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
 
Code of Ethics
 
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, members of our board of directors, our company's officers including our president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer, employees, consultants and advisors. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
 
1.  
honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

2.  
full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;

3.  
compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

4.  
the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and

5.  
accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
 
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company's senior officers commit to timely, accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.
 
In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly senior officers, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal and state securities laws. Any senior officer, who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to our company. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.
 
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is attached hereto as Exhibit 14. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Freedom Petroleum Inc., 8580 E. Bellewood Place, Denver, CO 80237.
 
Board and Committee Meetings
 
Our board of directors currently consists of only Mr. Thomas Hynes. The board held no formal meetings during the year ended July 31, 2013. As our company develops a more comprehensive board of directors all proceedings will be conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada General Corporate Law and our Bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.

Nomination Process
 
As of July 31, 2013, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the president of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report.
 
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of the audit committee that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and is "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
We believe that members of our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date. In addition, we currently do not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor do we have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors do not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because they believe the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the members of our board of directors.
 
Item 11. Executive Compensation
 
The particulars of the compensation paid to the following persons:
 
 
(a)
our principal executive officer;
 
 
 
 
(b)
each of our two most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of the year ended July 31, 2013 and the period ended July 31 2012; and
 
 
 
 
(c)
up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided under (b) but for the fact that the individual was not serving as our executive officer at the end of the year ended July 31, 2013 and the period ended July 31, 2012,
 
who we will collectively refer to as the named executive officers of our company, are set out in the following summary compensation table, except that no disclosure is provided for any named executive officer, other than the principal executive officers, whose total compensation did not exceed $100,000 for the respective fiscal year.

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on November 10, 2013. As of November 10, 2013, there were 52,200,000 shares of our company’s common stock issued and outstanding.

There are not any provisions in our Articles or Bylaws, the operation of which would delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of our company.
 
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

(3)
Tax fees consist of fees billed for professional services relating to tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.

Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
