Corporate Overview
 
Our company was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on July 9, 2004.
 
During October 2007 we amended our articles of incorporation to increase the number of our authorized common shares from 75,000,000 to 750,000,000 and to forward stock split our common stock on a 10-for-1 basis. The stock split was based on market conditions and upon a determination by our Board of Directors that the stock split was in our best interests and in the best interests of our shareholders.
 
On February 28, 2012, we adopted the assumed name of Big Lake Energy Ltd. for use in the Province of Alberta, Canada. On June 5, 2013, we adopted the assumed name of Big Lake Energy Ltd. for use in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. On February 27, 2014, we registered under the name of Strongbow Resources Inc. in the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada.

Effective March 17, 2014, we conducted a one-for-four reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock.  As a result, the number of the issued and outstanding common shares decreased from 111,586,705 shares to 27,896,676 shares. Our authorized capital of 750,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 was unchanged.
 
Our Business
 
Initiation of Oil and Gas Operations
 
Effective February 2, 2012, we entered into a Farmout Agreement (“Agreement”) with Harvest Operations Corp. (“Harvest”). The Agreement provided for our acquisition of an undivided 100% working interest (“Working Interest”) in a petroleum and natural gas license covering eight (8) sections of land (5,120 acres, more or less) located in the Compeer Area in the Province of Alberta, Canada (“Farmout Lands”). The Farmout Lands have no current commercial production.
 
To earn the Working Interest we were required to drill, complete, equip or abandon a test well on the Farmout Lands (“Test Well”). On March 14, 2012, we obtained operator status in the Province of Alberta. On April 4, 2012, the Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board approved the transfer of the well license relating to the Test Well from Harvest to us.
 
The Test Well was spudded on May 27, 2012 and was drilled vertically 905 meters (2,977 feet) into the Bakken formation. We cut two full bore cores, one from each of the Viking and Bakken formations, and also ran a drill stem test in the Viking formation. The plug samples taken from the Viking formation exhibited strong oil fluorescence indicating light oil and had between 16% and 23% porosity in the samples.  We estimate the net sand pay in the well is approximately 5 meters (16.45 feet). The Bakken formation was found to be uneconomic and was abandoned. Based on our evaluation, we elected to drill a horizontal leg to the Test Well running 1,045 meters (3,435 feet) into the Viking formation. The total depth drilled in the Test Well met the contract depth requirements under the Agreement.
 
On September 5, 2012, we received an earning notice from Harvest granting our company a 100% working interest in the Farmout Lands. Initial production from the Test Well has been limited by a higher than expected gas solution content.  It is expected the oil ratio will increase as the gas component lessens. Oil recovered to date is light, sweet crude. As of June 10, 2013, it was too early to provide stabilized production forecasts.
 
The Viking Formation oil prospect is part of an emerging large oil resource play in Eastern and Central Alberta as well as in the Dodsland area of Saskatchewan.  The Viking Formation in the Compeer play will be developed by up to four horizontal wells per section per zone.
 
Our Working Interest in the Farmout Lands will be held subject to a non-convertible overriding royalty payable to the Harvest (“Harvest’s Royalty”). Harvest’s Royalty on net crude oil revenues will be measured on a sliding scale from 5% to 15% over a range of production volumes from 1 to 150 barrels per day. Harvest’s Royalty on net gas and other petroleum product revenues is 15%.

On March 25, 2013, we completed the installation of permanent production facilities on our recently drilled Big Lake Compeer 5-29-33-02 W4M well. The well was horizontally drilled into the Viking formation. During drilling the well encountered light oil shows from the Viking formation. A ten stage multi-zone nitrogen aided fracture stimulation was made over the entire 1000 metre long lateral section of the well. The well was initially tested in November 2012, however, due to high solution gas ratios, proper wellhead separation and fluid storage facilities needed to be installed. This was completed and the well was placed on production test at the end of the first week of March 2013, producing light (42° API) oil. Production rates have been variable as it is in early stages of testing. IP rates were in excess of 60 barrels of oil per day based upon short flow periods, and the well needs to be production tested for a longer period of time.

As of February 28, 2014, we recognized no revenue and we have incurred approximately $1,435,000 in exploration costs to drill, complete and equip the Test Well. As at February 28, 2014, we recorded $31,354 in asset retirement obligations related to the future plugging and abandonment of the Test Well.
 
During the year ended February 28, 2014, we generated revenues of $18,632 from pre-production sales of oil. For accounting purposes, the proceeds from the sales less direct costs of $35,565 are added to the carrying value of the oil and gas properties.
 
During fiscal 2015 we plan to focus on the exploration and drilling of the Farmout Lands, identify and complete additional asset acquisition(s), and pursue joint venture agreements with third parties to explore for oil and gas in Canada and the United States.
 
Competition
 
The petroleum and natural gas industry is highly competitive. Numerous independent oil and gas companies, oil and gas syndicates and major oil and gas companies actively seek out and bid for oil and gas properties as well as for the services of third party providers, such as drilling companies, upon which we rely. A substantial number of our competitors have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and personnel resources than we do, and have demonstrated the ability to operate through industry cycles.
 
Some of our competitors not only explore for, produce and market petroleum and natural gas, but also carry out refining operations and market the resultant products on a worldwide basis which may provide them with additional sources of capital. Larger and better capitalized competitors may be in a position to outbid us for particular prospect rights. These competitors may also be better able to withstand sustained periods of unsuccessful drilling. Larger competitors may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position.
 
Petroleum and natural gas producers also compete with other suppliers of energy and fuel to industrial, commercial and individual customers. Competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of energy legislation and/or regulation considered from time to time by the governments and/or their agencies and other factors which are out of our control including, international political conditions, terrorism, overall levels of supply and demand for oil and gas, and the markets for synthetic fuels and alternative energy sources.
 
To better deal with the competition, we target high potential exploration properties which are too small for our largest competitors. We rely upon the technical experience of our officers and engineers to select those properties on which our exploration expertise provides a differentiating advantage.
 
Customers
 
There are no contracts obligating our company to provide a fixed quantity of oil and gas to any party.
 
Regulation 
 
The exploration, production and sale of oil and gas are extensively regulated by governmental authorities. Applicable legislation is under constant review for amendment or expansion. These efforts frequently result in an increase in the regulatory burden on companies in our industry and consequently an increase in the cost of doing business and decrease in profitability. Numerous governmental departments and agencies are authorized to, and have, issued rules and regulations imposing additional burdens on the oil and gas industry that often are costly to comply with and carry substantial penalties for non-compliance. Production operations are affected by changing tax and other laws relating to the petroleum industry, constantly changing administrative regulations and possible interruptions or termination by government authorities.

Oil and gas mineral rights may be held by individuals, corporations or governments having jurisdiction over the area in which such mineral rights are located. As a general rule, parties holding such mineral rights grant licenses or leases to third parties to facilitate the exploration and development of these mineral rights. The terms of the leases and licenses are generally established to require timely development. Notwithstanding the ownership of mineral rights, the government of the jurisdiction in which mineral rights are located generally retains authority over the drilling and operation of oil and gas wells.
 
Each province and the federal government of Canada have legislation and regulations governing land tenure, royalties, production rates and taxes, environmental protection and other matters under their respective jurisdictions. The royalty regime is a significant factor in the profitability of oil and natural gas production. Royalties payable on production from lands other than Crown lands are determined by negotiations between the parties. Crown royalties are determined by government regulation and are generally calculated as a percentage of the value of the gross production with the royalty rate dependent in part upon prescribed reference prices, well productivity, geographical location, field discovery date and the type and quality of the petroleum product produced. From time to time, the governments of Canada and Alberta have established incentive programs such as royalty rate reductions, royalty holidays, tax credits and drilling royalty credits. These incentives are for the purpose of encouraging oil and natural gas exploration or enhanced recovery projects. These incentives generally increase cash flow.
 
Effective January 1, 2009, oil sands royalties in Alberta are calculated using a sliding scale for royalty rates ranging from 1% to 9% pre-payout and 25% to 40% post-payout depending on the world oil price. Project “payout” refers to the point in which we earn sufficient revenues to recover all of the allowed costs for the project plus a return allowance. The base royalty starts at 1% and increases for every dollar the world oil price, as reflected by the WTI, is priced above $55 per barrel, to a maximum of 9% when oil is priced at $120 per barrel or greater. The net royalty starts at 25% and increases for every dollar oil is priced above $55 per barrel to 40% when oil is priced at $120 or higher.
 
Environmental Considerations
 
The oil and natural gas industry is subject to environmental laws and regulations pursuant to Canadian local, provincial and federal legislation. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on releases or emissions of various substances produced or utilized in association with certain oil and gas industry operations. In addition, legislation requires that well and facility sites be monitored, abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of provincial authorities. A breach of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties. Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injury, clean-up costs and other environmental and property damages as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Accordingly, we could be liable or could be required to cease production on properties if environmental damage occurs. Although we maintain insurance coverage, the costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations could occur that result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We maintain commercial property and general liability insurance coverage on the properties we operate. We also maintain operators extra expense insurance which provides coverage for well control incidents specifically relating to regaining control of a well, seepage, pollution, clean-up and containment. No coverage is maintained with respect to any fine or penalty required to be paid due to a violation of the regulations set out by the federal and provincial regulatory authorities. We are committed to meeting our responsibilities to protect the environment and anticipate making increased expenditures of both a capital and expense nature as a result of the increasingly stringent laws relating to the protection of the environment.
 
Alberta’s new climate change regulation, effective July 1, 2007, requires Alberta facilities that emit more than 100,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases a year to reduce emissions intensity by 12 percent. Companies have four choices to meet their reductions: (1) they can make operating improvements to their operations that will result in greenhouse gas emission reductions; (2) purchase Alberta based offset credits; (3) contribute to the Climate Change and Emissions Management Fund; and (4) purchase or use emission performance credits, also called EPCs, these credits are generated by facilities that have gone beyond the 12% mandatory intensity reduction. EPCs can be banked for future use or sold to other facilities that need to meet the reduction target.

On June 18, 2009, the Canadian government passed the new Environmental Enforcement Act (“EEA”). The EEA was created to strengthen and amend nine existing Statutes that relate to the environment and to enact provisions respecting the enforcement of certain Statutes that relate to the environment. The EEA amends various enforcement, offence, penalty and sentencing provisions to deter offenders from committing offences under the EEA by setting minimum and maximum fines for serious offences. The EEA also gives enforcement officers new powers to investigate cases and grants courts new sentencing authorities that ensure penalties reflect the seriousness of the pollution and wildlife offences. The EEA also expands the authority to deal with environmental offenders by: (1) specifying aggravating factors such as causing damage to wildlife or wildlife habitat, or causing damage that is extensive, persistent or irreparable; (2) providing fine ranges that are higher for corporate offenders than for individuals; (3) doubling fine ranges for repeat offenders; (4) authorizing the suspension and cancellation of licenses, permits or other authorizations upon conviction; (5) requiring corporate offenders to report convictions to shareholders; and (6) mandating the reporting of corporate offences on a public registry.
 
Research and Development Expenditures
 
Other than seismic, engineering, geochemical and geophysical programs capitalized in connection with our oil and gas concessions, we have devoted no substantial efforts to research and development within the last two fiscal years.
 
Employees
 
We currently have no full-time employees. We use consultants and contractors to provide us, among other things, with executive management and accounting services, and technical engineering support.
 
Subsidiaries
 
We have no subsidiaries.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We do not own any intellectual property.
 
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this report in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing shares of our company's common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.
 
We have a history of losses and this trend may continue and may negatively impact our ability to achieve our business objectives.
 
We have experienced net losses since inception, and expect to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. Our accumulated deficit was $2,533,875 as at February 28, 2014. We may not be able to generate significant revenues in the future.  As a result, our management expects our business to continue to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future and cannot predict when, if ever, our business might become profitable. We will need to raise additional funds, and such funds may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. This may seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
8

 
 
We have a limited operating history, which may hinder our ability to successfully meet our objectives.
 
We have a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects. We do not have an established history of operating producing properties or locating and developing properties that have oil and gas reserves. As a result, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven. In addition, because of our limited operating history, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. Errors may be made in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends and we will be subject to the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in evolving markets. We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks and uncertainties. Failure to adequately do so could cause our business, results of operations and financial condition to suffer.
 
Our operations and proposed exploration activities will require significant capital expenditures for which we may not have sufficient funding and if we do obtain additional financing, our existing shareholders may suffer substantial dilution.
 
We intend to make capital expenditures far in excess of our existing capital resources to develop, acquire and explore oil and gas properties. We intend to rely on funds from operations and external sources of financing to meet our capital requirements to continue acquiring, exploring and developing oil and gas properties and to otherwise implement our business plan. We plan to obtain additional funding through the debt and equity markets, but we can offer no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when it is required or that it will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.
 
The successful implementation of our business plan is subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas business, which if not adequately managed could result in additional losses.
 
Our oil and gas operations are subject to the economic risks typically associated with exploration and development activities, including the necessity of making significant expenditures to locate and acquire properties and to drill exploratory wells. In addition, the availability of drilling rigs and the cost and timing of drilling, completing and, if warranted, operating wells is often uncertain. In conducting exploration and development activities, the presence of unanticipated pressure or irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploration, development and, if warranted, production activities to be unsuccessful. This could result in a total loss of our investment in a particular well. If exploration efforts are unsuccessful in establishing proved reserves and exploration activities cease, the amounts accumulated as unproved costs will be charged against earnings as impairments.
 
In addition, market conditions or the unavailability of satisfactory oil and gas transportation arrangements may hinder our access to oil and gas markets and delay our production. The availability of a ready market for our prospective oil and gas production depends on a number of factors, including the demand for and supply of oil and gas and the proximity of reserves to pipelines and other facilities. Our ability to market such production depends in substantial part on the availability and capacity of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities, in most cases owned and operated by third parties. Our failure to obtain such services on acceptable terms could materially harm our business. We may be required to shut in wells for lack of a market or a significant reduction in the price of oil or gas or because of inadequacy or unavailability of pipelines or gathering system capacity. If that occurs, we would be unable to realize revenue from those wells until arrangements are made to deliver such production to market.

Our future performance is dependent upon our ability to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas properties, the failure of which could result in under use of capital and losses.
 
Our future performance depends upon our ability to identify, acquire and develop additional oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable. Our success will depend upon our ability to acquire working and revenue interests in properties upon which oil and gas reserves are ultimately discovered in commercial quantities, and our ability to develop prospects that contain proven oil and gas reserves to the point of production. Without successful acquisition and exploration activities, we will not be able to develop additional oil and gas reserves or generate revenues. We cannot provide you with any assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire additional oil and gas reserves on acceptable terms, or that oil and gas deposits will be discovered in sufficient quantities to enable us to recover our exploration and development costs or sustain our business.
 
The successful acquisition and development of oil and gas properties requires an assessment of recoverable reserves, future oil and gas prices and operating costs, potential environmental and other liabilities, and other factors. Such assessments are necessarily inexact and their accuracy inherently uncertain. In addition, no assurance can be given that our exploration and development activities will result in the discovery of additional reserves. Our operations may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of lack of adequate capital and other factors, such as lack of availability of rigs and other equipment, title problems, weather, compliance with governmental regulations or price controls, mechanical difficulties, or unusual or unexpected formations, pressures and or work interruptions. In addition, the costs of exploitation and development may materially exceed our initial estimates.
 
We have a very small management team and the loss of any member of our team may prevent us from implementing our business plan in a timely manner.
 
We have three executive officers and a limited number of additional consultants upon whom our success largely depends. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on our executive officers or consultants, the loss of which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In such an event, we may not be able to recruit personnel to replace our executive officers or consultants in a timely manner, or at all, on acceptable terms.
 
Future growth could strain our personnel and infrastructure resources, and if we are unable to implement appropriate controls and procedures to manage our growth, we may not be able to successfully implement our business plan.
 
We may experience rapid growth in our operations, which will place a significant strain on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our future success will depend in part upon the ability of our management to manage growth effectively. This may require us to hire and train additional personnel to manage our expanding operations. In addition, we must continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. If we fail to successfully manage our growth, we may be unable to execute upon our business plan.
 
Market conditions or operation impediments may hinder our access to natural gas and oil markets or delay our production.
 
The marketability of production from our properties depends in part upon the availability, proximity and capacity of pipelines, natural gas gathering systems and processing facilities. This dependence is heightened where this infrastructure is less developed. Therefore, if drilling results are positive in certain areas of our oil and gas properties, a new gathering system would need to be built to handle the potential volume of gas produced. We might be required to shut in wells, at least temporarily, for lack of a market or because of the inadequacy or unavailability of transportation facilities. If that were to occur, we would be unable to realize revenue from those wells until arrangements were made to deliver production to market.

Our ability to produce and market natural gas and oil is affected and also may be harmed by:
 
  
the lack of pipeline transmission facilities or carrying capacity;
  
government regulation of natural gas and oil production;
  
government transportation, tax and energy policies;
  
changes in supply and demand; and
  
general economic conditions.
 
We might incur additional debt in order to fund our exploration and development activities, which would continue to reduce our financial flexibility and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
If we incur indebtedness, the ability to meet our debt obligations and reduce our level of indebtedness depends on future performance. General economic conditions, oil and gas prices and financial, business and other factors affect our operations and future performance. Many of these factors are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to pay the interest on our current or future debt or that future working capital, borrowings or equity financing will be available to pay or refinance such debt. Factors that will affect our ability to raise cash through an offering of our capital stock or a refinancing of our debt include financial market conditions, the value of our assets and performance at the time we need capital. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient funds to make such payments. If we do not have sufficient funds and are otherwise unable to negotiate renewals of our borrowings or arrange new financing, we might have to sell significant assets. Any such sale could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
 
Our properties and/or future properties might not produce, and we might not be able to determine reserve potential, identify liabilities associated with the properties or obtain protection from sellers against them, which could cause us to incur losses.
 
Although we have reviewed and evaluated our properties in a manner consistent with industry practices, such review and evaluation might not necessarily reveal all existing or potential problems. This is also true for any future acquisitions made by us. Inspections may not always be performed on every well, and environmental problems, such as groundwater contamination, are not necessarily observable even when an inspection is undertaken. Even when problems are identified, a seller may be unwilling or unable to provide effective contractual protection against all or part of those problems, and we may assume environmental and other risks and liabilities in connection with the acquired properties.
 
If we or our operators fail to maintain adequate insurance, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
 
Our operations are subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas industry, such as blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, fires, pollution, earthquakes and other environmental risks. These risks could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage, and suspension of operations. We could be liable for environmental damages caused by previous property owners. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Any prospective drilling contractor or operator which we hire will be required to maintain insurance of various types to cover our operations with policy limits and retention liability customary in the industry. We also have acquired our own insurance coverage for such prospects. The occurrence of a significant adverse event on such prospects that is not fully covered by insurance could result in the loss of all or part of our investment in a particular prospect which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive, and we may not have sufficient resources to compete effectively.
 
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. We compete with oil and natural gas companies and other individual producers and operators, many of which have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and other resources than we do, as well as companies in other industries supplying energy, fuel and other needs to consumers. Our larger competitors, by reason of their size and relative financial strength, can more easily access capital markets than we can and may enjoy a competitive advantage in the recruitment of qualified personnel. They may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in laws and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we do business and handle longer periods of reduced prices for oil and gas more easily than we can. Our competitors may be able to pay more for oil and gas leases and properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of leases and properties than we can. Further, these companies may enjoy technological advantages and may be able to implement new technologies more rapidly than we can. Our ability to acquire additional properties in the future will depend upon our ability to conduct efficient operations, evaluate and select suitable properties, implement advanced technologies and consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.
 
Complying with environmental and other government regulations could be costly and could negatively impact our production.
 
Our business is governed by numerous laws and regulations at various levels of government. These laws and regulations govern the operation and maintenance of our facilities, the discharge of materials into the environment and other environmental protection issues. Such laws and regulations may, among other potential consequences, require that we acquire permits before commencing drilling and restrict the substances that can be released into the environment with drilling and production activities.
 
Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injury, clean-up costs and other environmental and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Prior to commencement of drilling operations, we may secure limited insurance coverage for sudden and accidental environmental damages as well as environmental damage that occurs over time. However, we do not believe that insurance coverage for the full potential liability of environmental damages is available at a reasonable cost. Accordingly, we could be liable, or could be required to cease production on properties, if environmental damage occurs.
 
The costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations could result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
 
Shortages of rigs, equipment, supplies and personnel could delay or otherwise adversely affect our cost of operations or our ability to operate according to our business plans.
 
If drilling activity increases in Alberta or Canada generally, a shortage of drilling and completion rigs, field equipment and qualified personnel could develop. The demand for and wage rates of qualified drilling rig crews generally rise in response to the increasing number of active rigs in service and could increase sharply in the event of a shortage. Shortages of drilling and completion rigs, field equipment or qualified personnel could delay, restrict or curtail our exploration and development operations, which could in turn harm our operating results.
 
We will be required to replace, maintain or expand our reserves in order to prevent our reserves and production from declining, which would adversely affect cash flows and income.
 
In general, production from natural gas and oil properties declines over time as reserves are depleted, with the rate of decline depending on reservoir characteristics. If we are not successful in our exploration and development activities, our proved reserves will decline as reserves are produced. Our future natural gas and oil production is highly dependent upon our ability to economically find, develop or acquire reserves in commercial quantities.
 
 
12

 
 
To the extent cash flow from operations is reduced, either by a decrease in prevailing prices for natural gas and oil or an increase in exploration and development costs, and external sources of capital become limited or unavailable, our ability to make the necessary capital investment to maintain or expand our asset base of natural gas and oil reserves would be impaired. Even with sufficient available capital, our future exploration and development activities may not result in additional proved reserves, and we might not be able to drill productive wells at acceptable costs.
 
The oil and gas exploration and production industry historically is a cyclical industry and market fluctuations in the prices of oil and gas could adversely affect our business.
 
Prices for oil and gas tend to fluctuate significantly in response to factors beyond our control. These factors include:
 
  
weather conditions;
  
economic conditions, including demand for petroleum-based products;
  
actions by OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries;
  
political instability in the Middle East and other major oil and gas producing regions;
  
governmental regulations, both domestic and foreign;
  
domestic and foreign tax policy;
  
the pace adopted by foreign governments for the exploration, development, and production of their national reserves;
  
the price of foreign imports of oil and gas;
  
the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and gas;
  
the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves;
  
the rate of decline of existing and new oil and gas reserves;
  
available pipeline and other oil and gas transportation capacity;
  
the ability of oil and gas companies to raise capital;
  
the overall supply and demand for oil and gas; and
  
the availability of alternate fuel sources.
 
Changes in commodity prices may significantly affect our capital resources, liquidity and expected operating results. Price changes will directly affect revenues and can indirectly impact expected production by changing the amount of funds available to reinvest in exploration and development activities. Reductions in oil and gas prices not only reduce revenues and profits, but could also reduce the quantities of reserves that are commercially recoverable. Significant declines in prices could result in non-cash charges to earnings due to impairment.
 
Changes in commodity prices may also significantly affect our ability to estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and divestiture and often cause disruption in the market for oil and gas producing properties, as buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on the value of the properties. Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions and the exploration and development of projects. We expect that commodity prices will continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.
 
Our ability to produce oil and gas from our properties may be adversely affected by a number of factors outside of our control which may result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
The business of exploring for and producing oil and gas involves a substantial risk of investment loss. Drilling oil and gas wells involves the risk that the wells may be unproductive or that, although productive, the wells may not produce oil or gas in economic quantities. Other hazards, such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, pressures, fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids or other conditions may substantially delay or prevent completion of any well. Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic if water or other deleterious substances are encountered that impair or prevent the production of oil or gas from the well. In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances. There can be no assurance that oil and gas will be produced from the properties in which we have interests. In addition, the marketability of oil and gas that may be acquired or discovered may be influenced by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas, gathering systems, pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations in oil and gas prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection. We cannot predict how these factors may affect our business.
 
 
13

 
 
We may be unable to retain our leases and working interests in our leases including the Farmout Agreement, which would result in significant financial losses to our company.
 
Our properties are held under oil and gas leases including the Farmout Agreement. If we fail to meet the specific requirements of each lease, such lease may terminate or expire. We cannot assure you that any of the obligations required to maintain each lease or the Farmout Agreement will be met. The termination or expiration of our leases may harm our business. Our property interests will terminate unless we fulfill certain obligations under the terms of our leases and the Farmout Agreements related to such properties. If we are unable to satisfy these conditions on a timely basis, we may lose our rights in these properties. The termination of our interests in these properties may harm our business. In addition, we will need significant funds to meet capital requirements for the exploration activities that we intend to conduct on our properties.
 
Risks Relating To Our Common Stock
 
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our ability to continue operations.
 
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because a significant portion of our operations have been and will be financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our operations. Such reductions may force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may have a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new properties and continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we can offer no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital in the future, we may not be able to have the resources to continue our normal operations.
 
The market price for our common stock may also be affected by our ability to meet or exceed expectations of analysts or investors. Any failure to meet these expectations, even if minor, may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
 
If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result in the dilution of our existing shareholders.
 
Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to 750,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares will result in a reduction of the book value and market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuance will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all current shareholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our corporation.
 
Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities Exchange Commission’s penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
 
 
14

 
 
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
 
Our common stock is illiquid and the price of our common stock may be negatively impacted by factors which are unrelated to our operations.
 
Our common stock currently trades on a limited basis on OTCQB operated by the OTC Markets Group (the “OTCQB”). Trading of our stock through OTCQB is frequently thin and highly volatile. There is no assurance that a sufficient market will develop in our stock, in which case it could be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of our competitors, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.

When used in this report, “Bbls” means barrels of oil. We also use a number of terms when describing our reserves. “Proved reserves” are the quantities of oil that, by analysis of geosciences and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible. We provide information on two types of proved reserves - developed and undeveloped. “Proved developed reserves” are reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. “Proved undeveloped reserves” are reasonably certain reserves in drilling units immediately adjacent to the drilling unit containing a producing well as well as areas beyond one offsetting drilling unit from a producing well.
 
 
17

 
 
Under SEC rules we are also permitted to provide information about probable and possible reserves. “Probable reserves” are additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, in sum with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered. “Possible reserves” are additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. The various reserve categories have different risks associated with them. Proved reserves are more likely to be produced than probable reserves and probable reserves are more likely to be produced than possible reserves. Because of these risks, the different reserve categories should not be considered to be directly additive.
 
The term “Boe” may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to barrels of oil (6 Mcf: 1 Bbl) is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6 Mcf :1 Bbl, utilizing a conversion ratio at 6 Mcf: 1 Bbl may be misleading as an indication of value.
 
It should not be assumed that the present worth of estimated future net revenue represents the fair market value of the reserves. There is no assurance that the escalating price and cost assumptions contained in the Apex Report will be attained and variances could be material. The reserve and revenue estimates set forth below are estimates only and the actual reserves and realized revenue may be greater or less than those calculated.
 
All reserve definitions comply with the applicable definitions of the rules of the SEC. The reserves were estimated using engineering and geological methods widely accepted in our industry. The accuracy of the reserve estimates is dependent upon the quality of available data and upon independent geological and engineering interpretation of that data. For proved developed producing, the estimates considered to be definitive, using performance methods that utilize extrapolations of various historical data including oil and water production and pressure history. For other than proved producing, proved undeveloped reserves and probable and possible reserve estimates were made using volumetric methods.
 
Our policies regarding internal controls over reserve estimates require reserves to be in compliance with the SEC definitions and guidance and for reserves to be prepared by an independent engineering firm under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer. We provide the engineering firm with estimate preparation material such as property interests, production, current operation costs, current production prices and other information. This information is reviewed by our Chief Executive Officer to ensure accuracy and completeness of the data prior to submission to our third party engineering firm. A letter which identifies the professional qualifications of the independent engineering firm who prepared the reserve report is included in the reserve report. There was no conversion of undeveloped reserves to prove reserves during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2014.

Proved undeveloped reserves and Probable Reserves.
 
We have no proved undeveloped reserves as at February 28, 2014.
 
There were no material changes in proved undeveloped reserves that occurred during the year ended February 28, 2014, including proved undeveloped reserves converted into proved developed reserves.
 
The proved producing reserves found during the year were previously in the “prospective resource” category of classification according to the Canadian Oil and Gas Handbook.
 
We have no proved undeveloped reserves in individual fields or countries that remain undeveloped for five years or more.
 
Our net probable reserves are 87,400 Bbls of oil.  This was assumed by Apex to be the additional reserves to be developed in section 29-33-2W4 by drilling on a normal 4 horizontal well per section drilling pattern. This is slightly lower than the net 95,000 Bbls booked in 2013.
 
One producing well was drilled Big Lake Compeer 100/05-29-033-02W4/00 in the fiscal year ending February 28, 2013.  As a result of this well, our proved producing reserves went from nil to 30,000 Bbls of oil and 125.9 MMcf net last year to us.
 
Oil and gas production, production prices and production costs.
 
We have not had any oil sales or production during the years ended February 28, 2013 and 2012.
 
During the year ended February 28, 2014, we generated revenues of $18,632 from pre-production sales of oil. For accounting purposes, the proceeds from the sales less direct costs of $35,565 are added to the carrying value of the oil and gas properties.
 
As of May 28, 2014, it is too early to provide stabilized production forecasts.
 
Drilling and other exploratory and development activities.
 
The number of net productive and dry exploratory wells drilled was one productive well in the Compeer area of eastern Alberta in the fiscal year ending February 28, 2014.  There was no previous drilling or exploratory activities.
 
Present activities.
 
There are no current drilling activities.  There are up to 30 locations present on the Farmout Lands, on which we may commence drilling activities.
 
Delivery commitments.
 
We have no oil or gas delivery commitments.
 
Oil and gas properties, wells, operations, and acreage.
 
We have one well on 160 developed acres. We have 4,960 gross acres and 4,960 net undeveloped acres.

We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
 
 
21

 
 
We must not declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend or other distribution (unless payable solely in shares of our common stock or other class of stock junior to our preferred stock as to dividends or upon liquidation) in respect of our common stock, or other class of stock junior to our preferred stock, nor must we redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any of the foregoing, unless dividends, if any, payable to holders of our preferred stock for the current period (and in the case of cumulative dividends, if any, payable to holders of our preferred stock for the current period and in the case of cumulative dividends, if any, for all past periods) have been paid, are being paid or have been set aside for payment, in accordance with the terms of our preferred stock, as fixed by our board of directors.
 
Other than as stated above, there are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
 
 
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
 
 
our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

Description of Securities
 
We are authorized to issue 750,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. As at May 28, 2014, we had 27,996,697 common shares outstanding. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all net assets available for distribution to shareholders after payment to creditors. The common stock is not convertible or redeemable and has no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. There are no conversions, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. There are no cumulative voting rights.
 
Each shareholder is entitled to receive the dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. Our board of directors is not obligated to declare a dividend. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, the operating and financial condition of our company, its capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent factors. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

There are no provisions in our Articles of Incorporation or our Bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our company.

In March 2014, we completed a one for four reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, the number of the issued and outstanding common stock decreased from 111,586,705 shares to 27,896,684 shares.
 
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
 
Not applicable.
 
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.
 
General
 
We are an exploration stage company incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 9, 2004. We are focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties in the United States and Canada. As of May 28, 2014, we did not have any revenue from commercial production.
 
Results of Operations
 
Years Ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013
 
The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 which are included herein:

Revenues
 
During the years ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013, we did not generate any revenues from commercial production.
 
Expenses
 
Expenses decreased during the year ended February 28, 2014 to $776,618 as compared to $1,172,722 during the year ended February 28, 2013. The decrease is largely due to reduced consulting and management fees in fiscal 2014 as we reorganized our structure and relying on outside professionals for the day-to-day operations and a decrease in the amount of impairment recognized on the oil and gas property.

We had cash of $43,137 and a working capital deficit of $1,663,018 as of February 28, 2014 compared to cash of $4,429 and working capital deficit of $1,846,909 as of February 28, 2013.
 
A promissory note dated June 1, 2012 was entered between us and Stockbridge Resources Corp. (“Stockbridge”) for CAD$400,000 and another promissory note dated July 16, 2012 entered between us and Stockbridge Resources Corp. for CAD$155,000. These promissory notes were due on demand. On November 12, 2013, we received a demand letter from Stockbridge, which demanded repayment of the promissory notes. As of May 28, 2014, we have not repaid the notes.
 
We anticipate general and administrative expense will be similar to fiscal 2014 during the upcoming fiscal year. In connection with oil and gas operations, we will remain the same number of executive officers. As a result, we estimate our general and administrative expense will be consistent during the next twelve months.

Our company’s cash will not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve month period. Our company plans to raise the capital required to satisfy our immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet our estimated funding requirements for the next twelve months primarily through the private placement of our equity securities. There is no assurance that our company will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued working capital requirements. The ability of our company to meet our financial liabilities and commitments is primarily dependent upon the continued financial support of our directors and shareholders, the continued issuance of equity to new shareholders, and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations.
 
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further long-term financing, successful exploration of our property interests, the identification of reserves sufficient enough to warrant development, successful development of our property interests and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
 
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2014, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

Cash Used in Operating Activities
 
Our cash used in operating activities for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, compared to our cash used in operating activities for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013, decreased by $67,243, primarily due to a decrease in the net loss as a result of lower consulting and management fees in fiscal 2014 as we reorganized our structure and relying on outside professionals for the day-to-day operations.
 
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
 
Our cash provided by financing activities for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, compared to our cash provided by financing activities for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013, decreased by $912,104 due to decrease in common stock issued for cash and advances and notes payable.
 
Cash Used in Investing Activities
 
Our cash used in investing activities for the twelve months ended February 28, 2014, compared to our cash provided by financing activities for the twelve months ended February 28, 2013, decreased by $919,116 due to decrease expenditures on oil and gas properties and equipment.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no 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 our stockholders.
 
Going Concern
 
Our audited financial statements and information for the period ended February 28, 2014, have been prepared by our management on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. We have generated no revenues to date and have incurred a net loss of $708,700 during the 12 month period ended February 28, 2014, and $2,894,917 from inception (July 9, 2004) through February 28, 2014. We cannot provide any assurance that we will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional funds through the sale of debt and/or equity.
 
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
 
Measurement Uncertainty
 
The preparation of financial statements 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 reporting period. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. The most significant estimates with regard to these financial statements relate to carrying values of oil and gas properties, determination of fair values of stock based transactions.
 
 
25

 
 
Fair Value of Financial instruments
 
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair value of cash, prepaid expenses, other receivables, accounts payable and amounts due to related parties approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company’s functional currency and its reporting currency is the United States dollar.  Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations.
 
Oil and Gas Properties
 
We utilize the full cost method to account for our investment in oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs, interest costs relating to unproved properties, geological expenditures, tangible and intangible development costs including direct internal costs are capitalized to the full cost pool. When we commence production from established proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not amortized until the proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If an assessment of such properties indicates that properties are impaired, the amount of impairment is added to the capitalized cost base to be amortized.
 
The capitalized costs included in the full cost pool are subject to a “ceiling test” (based on twelve-month average of first-day-of-the-month pricing), which limits such costs to the aggregate of the (i) estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, (ii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized, (iii) the cost of properties not being amortized, less (iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the cost of properties not being amortized and the cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized. At February 28, 2014, all of our oil and gas interests were classified as unproven properties and were not being amortized.
 
Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
 
Equipment
 
Equipment is recorded at cost and amortized on a straight line basis over 20 years.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are determined using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, if any, are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes that date of enactment. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
 
26

 
 
We account for uncertainty in income taxes by applying a two-step method. First, we evaluate whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold, and second, it measures that tax position to determine the amount of benefit, if any, to be recognized in the financial statements. The application of this method did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations
 
The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs an obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation is based on the current cost escalated at an inflation rate and discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate. This liability is capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized over its useful life. The liability accretes until the Company settles the obligation.
 
Loss per share
 
We present both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) on the face of the statements of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted EPS figures are equal to those of basic EPS for each period since we have incurred losses since inception, and have no dilutive stock options and warrants.
 
Commitments and Contingencies
 
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, environmental and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted as additional information becomes available or circumstances change.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Strongbow Resources Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Strongbow Resources Inc. (an exploration stage company) as of February 28, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from July 9, 2004 (inception) through February 28, 2014. 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 an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company 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 also 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, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Strongbow Resources Inc. as of February 28, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the period from July 9, 2004 (inception) through February 28, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage and has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated.  The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 2014

 
1.      NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
 
Strongbow Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 9, 2004. The Company is in the exploration stage and focuses its business efforts on the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties. 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of February 28, 2014, the Company has not achieved profitable operations and has accumulated a deficit of $2,894,917.
 
As of February 28, 2014, nine Statements of Claim totaling $488,600 (CAD$541,086) are outstanding against the Company for non-payment of past due invoices.  During the year ended February 28, 2014, five Claims totaling $130,797 (CAD$144,847) were ruled by the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta and resulted in garnishment of $86,574 (CAD$95,874). All nine Claims remaining are currently recorded in accounts payable.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities when they come due. The Company is in the exploration stage and has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. To date, the Company has funded operations through the issuance of capital stock and debt. Management plans to continue raising additional funds through equity or debt financings and loans from directors. There is no certainty that further funding will be available as needed. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue operating as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue its operations as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise sufficient new capital to fund its operating commitments and ongoing losses and ultimately on generating profitable operations.
 
2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), and are expressed in United States dollars. The Company has not produced material revenues from its principal business and is an exploration stage company as defined by “Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, Development Stage Entities”.
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. The most significant estimates with regard to these financial statements relate to carrying values of oil and gas properties and asset retirement obligations.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and reporting currency is the United States dollar. The Company translates assets and liabilities to US dollars using year-end exchange rates, stockholders’ deficit accounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and translates revenues and expenses using average exchange rates during the period. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the other comprehensive income. The Company has not to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Oil and Gas Properties
The Company utilizes the full cost method to account for its investment in oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs, interest costs relating to unproved properties, geological expenditures, tangible and intangible development costs including direct internal costs are capitalized to the full cost pool. When the Company commences production from established proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not amortized until the proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If an assessment of such properties indicates that properties are impaired, the amount of impairment is added to the capitalized cost base to be amortized.

The capitalized costs included in the full cost pool are subject to a “ceiling test” (based on twelve-month average of first-day-of-the-month pricing), which limits such costs to the aggregate of the (i) estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions, (ii) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized, (iii) the cost of properties not being amortized, less (iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the cost of properties not being amortized and the cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized. At February 28, 2014, all of the Company’s oil and gas interests were classified as proven non-producing properties and were not being amortized.
 
Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.

Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost and amortized on a straight line basis over 20 years.

Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs an obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation is based on the current cost escalated at an inflation rate and discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate. This liability is capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized over its useful life. The liability accretes until the Company settles the obligation.
 
Environmental
Oil and gas activities are subject to extensive federal and state environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Company to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites.
 
Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Expenditures that have future economic benefits are capitalized. Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital nature are recorded when an environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated.
 
Fair Value of Financial instruments
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair value of cash, receivable, accounts payable, amounts due to related party, and advances and notes payable approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature.

Impairment of Long-Term Assets
The Company has adopted FASB ASC 360 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which requires that long-lived assets to be held and used be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Oil and gas interests accounted for under the full cost method are subject to a ceiling test, described above, and are excluded from this requirement.
 
Income Taxes
Income taxes are determined using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, if any, are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes that date of enactment. In addition, a valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset for which it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
 
F-8

 
 
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes by applying a two-step method. First, it evaluates whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold, and second, it measures that tax position to determine the amount of benefit, if any, to be recognized in the financial statements.

Loss per Share
The Company presents both basic and diluted loss per share (“LPS”) on the face of the statements of operations. Basic LPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted LPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted LPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Diluted LPS figures are equal to those of Basic LPS for each period since the Company in is a loss position and does not have any dilutive stock options or warrants.

Revenue
Revenue is recognized when:
 
  
The significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred;
 
  
Neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold has been retained;
 
  
The amount of revenue can be measured reliably; and
 
  
The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable.

Proceeds from the sale of oil and gas prior to commercial production are credited to costs deferred during development.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent pronouncements with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the financial statements of the Company.

3.      OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
 
Effective February 21, 2012, the Company entered into a Farmout Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Harvest Operations Corp. (“Farmor”). The Agreement provided for the Company’s acquisition of a 100% working interest (“Working Interest”) in a petroleum and natural gas license in the Compeer Area in the Province of Alberta, Canada (the “Farmout Lands”).

To earn the Working Interest the Company was required to drill, complete, equip or abandon a test well on the Farmout Lands (“Test Well”). On March 14, 2012, the Company obtained operator status and was transferred the well license relating to the Test Well.  The Company completed the Test Well and received earning notice on September 5, 2012.

The Company’s Working Interest in the Farmout Lands will be held subject to a non-convertible overriding royalty payable to the Farmor (“Farmor’s Royalty”).  The Farmor’s Royalty on net crude oil revenues will be measured on a sliding scale from 5% to 15% over a range of production volumes from 1 to 150 barrels per day. The Farmor’s Royalty on net gas and other petroleum product revenues is 15%.

During the year ended February 28, 2013, one core confirmed there was no oil potential in the Bakken Formation and an impairment charge of $568,612 was recorded.

As of February 28, 2014, the Company has incurred approximately $1,435,000 in exploration costs to drill, complete and equip the Test Well.

During the year ended February 28, 2014, net proceeds of $18,632 received from the sales of oil less direct costs of $35,565 were added to the carrying value of the oil and gas properties.

During the year ended February 28, 2014, the Company estimated that the net present value of future cash flows from the property is $992,197 and recorded an impairment charge of $344,603.

As at the date of the approval of these financial statements, the amounts have not yet been repaid by the Company.

6.      ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company’s asset retirement obligation consists of reclamation and closure costs associated with the Test Well in the Farmout Lands. The asset retirement obligation was estimated based on the Company’s understanding of its requirements to reclaim currently disturbed areas. Significant reclamation and closure activities include land rehabilitation, water, removal of building and well facilities and tailings reclamation.

The undiscounted estimate of this liability was $45,150 (CAD$50,000) reflecting payments commencing in 2024. This estimate was adjusted for an inflation rate of 2.00% and then discounted at a rate of 8.00% for a net present value of $31,354 (CAD$34,722) as at February 28, 2014.

7.     SHARE CAPITAL
 
On May 23, 2013, the Company issued 300,000 common shares at a price of $0.96 (CAD$1.00) per share. Gross proceeds from the private placement totaled $291,420 (CAD$300,000).

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
None.
 
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure controls and procedures
 
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company's reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our company’s 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 management concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Internal control over financial reporting
 
Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting
 
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
 
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2014. Our management’s evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting was based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of February 28, 2014 and that there were no material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of control deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
 
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake.
 
 
28

 
 
Additional controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended February 28, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We are committed to improving our organization. We intend to: (1) increase our accounting personnel when funds are available which will also permit better segregation of duties; (2) appoint one or more additional outside directors who will also be appointed to our audit committee; and (3) prepare and implement sufficient written procedures pertaining to accounting.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional improvements as necessary and as funds allow.
 
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
 
On May 2, 2014, we issued 100,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.50 per share for gross proceeds of $50,000. We issued the securities to one non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in an offshore transaction in which we relied on the registration exemption provided for in Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year ended February 28, 2014, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.
 
Code of Ethics
 
We have not adopted a code of ethics because our board of directors believes that our small size does not merit the expense of preparing, adopting and administering a code of ethics. Our board of directors intends to adopt a code of ethics when circumstances warrant.
 
Corporate Governance
 
Term of Office
 
Each director of our company is to serve for a term of one year ending on the date of subsequent annual meeting of stockholders following the annual meeting at which such director was elected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each director is to serve until his successor is elected and qualified or until his death, resignation or removal. Our board of directors is to elect our officers and each officer is to serve until his successor is elected and qualified or until his death, resignation or removal.
 
Committees of the Board
 
Our board of directors held no formal meetings during the year ended February 28, 2014. All proceedings of our board of directors were 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 corporate laws of the State of Nevada and our By-laws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of our directors duly called and held.
 
 
31

 
 
We currently do not have nominating or compensation committees or committees performing similar functions nor do we have a written nominating or compensation committee charter. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our board of directors.
 
We do not have any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. We do not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to our board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. Our board of directors assesses all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and makes recommendations for election or appointment.
 
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request to the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.
 
AUDIT COMMITTEE DISCLOSURE
 
Under Canadian National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”) reporting issuers are required to provide disclosure with respect to its Audit Committee including the text of the Audit Committee’s Charter, composition of the Committee, and the fees paid to the external auditor. We provide the following disclosure with respect to our Audit Committee:
 
Audit Committee Charter
 
Our audit committee charter is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this annual report on Form 10-K.

Composition of Audit Committee
 
The members of our Audit Committee are:
 
Member
 
Independent(1)
 
Financially Literate(2)
Michael Caetano
 
No
 
Yes
Robert DaCunha
 
No
 
Yes
Robert Madzej
 
No
 
Yes
 
(1)
A member of an audit committee is independent if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with our company, which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a member’s independent judgment.
(2)
An individual is financially literate if he has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by our financial statements.
 
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
 
Our board of directors has determined that while we have a board member (Robert DaCunha) that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, we do not have a board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2).
 
Audit Committee Oversight
 
At no time since the commencement of our most recently completed financial year was a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor not adopted by the Board.
 
Reliance on Certain Exemptions
 
At no time since the commencement of our most recently completed financial year have we relied on the exemption in Section 2.4 of NI 52-110 (De Minimis Non-audit Services), or an exemption from NI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted under Part 8 of NI 52-110.
 
 
32

 
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
 
The Audit Committee is authorized by the Board to review the performance of our external auditors and approve in advance provision of services other than auditing and to consider the independence of the external auditors, including a review of the range of services provided in the context of all consulting services bought by us.
 
Exemption
 
We are relying on the exemption provided by section 6.1 of NI 52-110 which provides that we, as a venture issuer, are not required to comply with Part 3 (Composition of the Audit Committee) and Part 5 (Reporting Obligations) of NI 52-110.
 
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 
General
 
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of our company believes that good corporate governance improves corporate performance and benefits all shareholders. Canadian National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines provides non-prescriptive guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers such as the Company. In addition, Canadian National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices prescribes certain disclosure by our company of its corporate governance practices. This disclosure is presented below.
 
Board of Directors
 
The Board is comprised of Michael Caetano, Robert DaCunha, and Robert Madzej. None of the Company’s directors are independent as each director is also an officer or former officer of the Company.
 
Directorships
 
None of our directors are or have been directors of other reporting issuers or equivalent.
 
Orientation and Continuing Education
 
New Board members receive an orientation package which includes reports on operations and results, and any public disclosure filings by our company, as may be applicable. The Board does not take any steps to provide continuing education for directors.
 
Ethical Business Conduct
 
The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by our governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates in the best interests of our company.
 
Nomination of Directors
 
The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of view and experience.
 
The Board does not have a nominating committee, and these functions are currently performed by the Board as a whole. However, if there is a change in the number of directors required by our company, this policy will be reviewed.
 
Compensation
 
The Board is responsible for determining compensation for the directors of our company to ensure it reflects the responsibilities and risks of being a director of a public company.
 
 
33

 
Other Board Committees
 
The Board has no committees other than the Audit Committee.
 
Assessments
 
The Board has no formal policy to monitor the effectiveness of the directors, the Board and its committees.
 
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Our By-laws do not restrict our ability to indemnify, to the greatest allowable extent permitted under the General Corporate Laws of Nevada, each director, executive officer, employee and agent and all other persons whom our company is authorized to indemnify under the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes to the fullest extent of the law (i) against all the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or in connection with any appeal therein, or otherwise, and (ii) against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit by or in the right of the company, or in connection with any appeal therein, or otherwise, if the individual acted in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of our company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful. Our company may, in our discretion, pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of any final disposition, provided, however, that the payment of expenses incurred by a director or executive officer in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or executive officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the director or executive officer is not entitled to be indemnified under our Bylaws or otherwise. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as our board of directors deems appropriate.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, executive officers and controlling persons of our company under Nevada law or otherwise, our company has been advised that the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In determining the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we include any shares as to which the person has sole or shared voting power or investment power, as well as any shares subject to warrants or options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

Changes in Control
 
To the knowledge of management and other than as discussed below, there are no present arrangements or pledges of securities of which may result in a change in the control of our company. We are aware that Holloman Value Holdings, LLC intends to transfer its shares to five other shareholders.
 
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
Transactions with related persons
 
Except as disclosed below, since March 1, 2012, there have been no transactions, or currently proposed transactions, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any of the following persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest:
 
 
(i)
Any director or executive officer of our company;
     
 
(ii)
Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to our outstanding shares of common stock;
     
 
(iii)
Any of our promoters and control persons; and
     
 
(iv)
Any member of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings and in- laws) of any of the foregoing persons.

During the year ended February 28, 2014, the Company:

  
Incurred a total of $42,060 (February 28, 2013 - $155,834) in management fees to former directors and officers of the Company.
  
Incurred a total of $66,913 (February 28, 2013 - $nil) in management fees to a director and officer of the Company.
  
Incurred a total of $1,816 (February 28, 2013 - $nil) in consulting fees to a director and officer of the Company.

As at February 28, 2014, $36,000 (February 28, 2013 - $89,673) was owing to former directors and officers of the Company and have been included in accounts payable. As at February 28, 2014, $63,210 (February 28, 2013 - $nil) was owing to a director and officer of the Company and has been included in accrued liabilities.  The amounts are non-interest bearing and unsecured.

During the year ended February 28, 2014, two former directors and officers forgave a total balance owing by the Company of $85,500 (February 28, 2013 - $nil).

All of the Company’s notes and advances from related parties are non-interest bearing, unsecured, and payable upon demand. They consist of the following:

2013

Advances from a shareholder

Advances from a director and officer of the Company

Total
    72,553       63,928  

 Director Independence
 
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB, which does not impose any director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2), a director is not considered to be independent if he is also an executive officer or employee of the company. Because Michael Caetano, Robert Madzej, and Robert DaCunha serve or have served within the previous two years in executive capacities, we determined that we have no “independent directors” as that term is defined by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2).

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
 
Audit Fees
 
The following table sets forth the fees billed to our company for the years ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 for professional services rendered by Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton LaBonte, LLP, Chartered Accountants:

The category of “Audit-related fees” includes fees for our annual audit, quarterly reviews and services rendered in connection with regulatory filings with the SEC. “Tax fees” include fees incurred in the review and preparation of our annual income tax filings.
 
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
 
Our entire Board of Directors, which acts as our audit committee, pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by our board of directors before the respective services were rendered.
 
Our Board of Directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton LaBonte, LLP and believe that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining their respective independence.
