ITEM 1. BUSINESS
----------------
GENERAL
The following is a summary of some of the information contained in this
document. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this document to
"We," "Us," "Our," "Three Forks," or the "Company" are to Three Forks, Inc.
Unless otherwise indicated all amounts are United States Dollars.
HISTORY
Three Forks, Inc. was incorporated on March 28, 2012 in the State of Colorado.
Our business plan focuses on our development as an independent energy company
engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of North
American conventional oil and gas properties through the acquisition of leases
and/or royalty interests.
At present, our current oil and gas projects consist of:
- In Archer County, Texas, we are a 49% working interest ("WI") owner in
a joint venture agreement where the joint venture has drilled and
completed one well.
- In Archer County, Texas, we have a 11% WI through a Farmout in 290
net, 320 gross acres with 5 wells. We are also the manager of Three
Forks No. 1, LLC ("Three Forks No. 1") which owns 87% of the working
interest in the Farmout acreage.
- In Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, we have a 25% WI in 290/290
net/gross acres upon which the first well was drilled in July 2013 and
has now been completed and is being put into production.
- The Five JAB project located in Southeast Texas - Southwest Louisiana
where we have a non-operated 75.0% WI in 13 producing wells, 9 service
wells and 14 additional wellbores.
We intend to acquire additional acreage to drill in other areas where deemed
attractive, though no such additional prospects have been identified at the time
of this filing.
On September 7, 2012, we acquired working interests between 10.12% and 10.50% in
5 producing oil and gas wells along with mineral interests in proved undeveloped
leaseholds totaling approximately 320 acres located in Weld County, Colorado
valued at $1,477,990, as well as, a 76.25% working interest in undeveloped
leaseholds totaling approximately 120 acres located in Morgan County, Colorado
valued at $14,000 in exchange for the issuance of 700,000 shares of the
Company's restricted common stock valued at $1,400,000 or $2.00 per share and
-1-
the assumption of certain debt in the amount of $91,990. In addition, we were
required to fund an escrow account in the amount of $55,000 for legal services
that may occur over a three year period from the date of the acquisition until
December 31, 2014. This escrow account at December 31, 2013 and December 31,
2012 has a balance of $55,163 and $55,081, respectively. On January 1, 2013, we
sold our entire interest in these oil and gas properties located in Weld County,
Colorado, for $1,600,000 in cash.
Our principal executive offices are located at 555 Eldorado Boulevard, Suite
100, Broomfield, Colorado 80021 and our telephone number is (303) 404-2160. We
maintain a website at WWW.THREEFORKSINC.COM, such website is not incorporated
into or a part of this filing.

CONVERTIBLE DEBT OFFERING
In September 2013, we commenced a private offering of $2,000,000 Secured
Convertible Promissory Notes in order to complete the purchase of the remaining
37.5% WI in the Five JABS property discussed above. These notes are due in
September 2014 and are convertible into shares of our common stock in whole or
in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per share 6 months after issuance of the
secured convertible promissory note. The conversion of the convertible
promissory notes into shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to
the holdings of our existing shareholders. The Secured Convertible Promissory
Notes are secured by the Company's 75% of the right, title and working interest
in 1,955 gross leasehold acres including 13 producing wells, 9 service wells and
14 additional wellbores located in the States of Texas and Louisiana, the Five
JABS properties. The offering was not fully subscribed and a total of $1,535,000
was raised. Tincup Oil and Gas, LLC of which Mr. Ranew, a former director of the
Company, is a member, holds a Secured Convertible Promissory Note for $250,000.
At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $1,475,000 in outstanding
secured convertible promissory notes.
On March 31, 2014, holders of the above promissory notes purchased 1,390,000
warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of their
promissory notes issued to them by the Company in the amount of $1,390,000. A
warrant entitles the holder for a term of two years to purchase one share of
common stock of the Company at the rate of $1.00 per share. Therefore, as of
March 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,390,000 warrants to holders of the
promissory notes in cancellation of $1,390,000 in debt.
Separately and apart, two former members of management agreed to make up the
difference of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note Offering and the purchase
price of Five JABS in a separate transaction with separate terms with the
Company. Mr. Charles Pollard, a director and former officer, and Mr. Lester
Ranew, a former director of the Company, in exchange for secured convertible
promissory notes provided the Company with a total of $600,000 cash ($300,000
each). At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $600,000 to Mr. Pollard
and Mr. Ranew.
Mr. Pollard's and Mr. Ranew's notes have a due date of January 2, 2014 and allow
for the conversion of the notes into common stock upon issuance. Their notes
provide that in addition to having a due date of January 2, 2014, that at the
due date they will each receive a $7,500 payment of fees and interest. If the
notes are not paid at January 2, 2014, the Company is required to take immediate
steps to liquidate the secured property and the due date will be extended to
April 2, 2014. At January 2, 2014, the Company failed to make payment on the
notes. At that time Mr. Pollard and Ranew each entered into an Extension and
Waiver with the Company. The Extension and Waiver provides that the payment date
shall be extended to April 2, 2014 and both holders have waived the provision
that steps be taken to liquidate the secured property at this time. On April 7,
2014, Mr. Pollard extended the payment date on his note to May 2, 2014. On March
31, 2014, Mr. Ranew purchased 300,000 warrants issued by the Company in
consideration for and cancellation of his promissory note issued to him by the
Company in the amount of $300,000. In May 2014, Mr. Pollard's note was paid in
full.
RECENT OIL AND GAS ACQUISITIONS
ARCHER COUNTY, TEXAS
On December 31, 2012, we entered into a Farmout Agreement with Holms Energy
Development Corporation ("HEDC") to explore for oil, gas and methane production
in Archer County, Texas ("the Farmout.") In order to maintain the Farmout, we
have to commence or cause to be commenced the drilling of at least 3 wells for
oil and/or gas prior to March 31, 2013 and pay for the costs associated with our
ownership of 100% of the working interest.
As such on December 31, 2012, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with
Three Forks No. 1 whereby in consideration of Three Forks No. 1 undertaking and
agreeing to pay its pro rata share of the costs associated with the drilling and
-3-
completion of wells in Archer County, Texas, we initially assigned an 87% WI in
the properties to Three Forks No. 1. Subsequently in 2013, we similarly assigned
a 1% WI in the Farmout to each of Messrs. Young and Nichols, officers and
directors of the Company and retained a 11% WI in the Farmout, with an
additional back in after payout of 25%. At the time of this filing and as part
of this Farmout, 5 wells have been drilled on the property.
BLUE QUAIL - CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
On April 8, 2013, we entered into a Participation Agreement with Blue Quail,
Ltd. ("the Participation Agreement"). In exchange for an interest in certain
wells including an 80% Net Revenue Interest ("NRI") and a 25% WI in the Joe
Gregory #1 Well, and as of December 31 2013 we have paid a total of $328,663.
The Joe Gregory #1 Well has been being drilled in Pottowatomie County, Oklahoma
in the Bois D'Arc formation. The well has now been completed and is currently
being put into production at the time of this filing.
FIVE JAB - LOUISIANA AND TEXAS
On February 27, 2013, we entered into a Purchase and Participation Agreement
with Five JAB, Inc. ("the Purchase and Participation Agreement"). As part of the
Purchase and Participation Agreement, we effectively on June 30, 2013 and
September 30, 2013 acquired a 37.5% and 37.5%, respectively or a total of 75% of
the right, title and working interest in 1,955.41 gross leasehold acres
including 13 producing wells, 9 service wells and 14 additional wellbores in
exchange for cash of $3,869,497 plus the assumption of liabilities in the amount
of $281,962. The Purchase and Participation Agreement also provides for our
involvement in a development program that includes the drilling and completion
of workovers and well optimizations of certain of the existing wells.
Our acquisition of the 75% of working interest in the oil and gas properties has
been accounted for as an acquisition for accounting purposes.
AREAS OF INTEREST AND PROPERTY
ARCHER COUNTY, TEXAS
We have a 11% WI in a completed well that is currently producing from the
Ellenburger formation at approximately 4,900 feet. In late 2012, we entered into
a Farmout Agreement with the lease owner to develop the balance of the 320 acres
of property. We transferred the Farmout to Three Forks No. 1 to develop the 320
acres. We retained a 11% WI in these wells with a provision for a back-in of an
additional 25%, after payout to the equity holders of Three Forks No.1. After
payout, we will then own a 35% WI in the wells.
In late March 2013, 3-D seismic was shot across the property which revealed that
three Ellenburger highs exist on the acreage. The Ellenburger formation is the
deepest prospective formation in this multi-pay area. Shallower formations can
be draped over these deeper highs. In addition to the Ellenburger Formation, the
Caddo, Odom, Conglomerate, Gardner, KMA, Gunsight, 600' Sand and the 400' Sand
are all productive or prospective on this lease. Due to active water drive
reservoirs in most of these formations, limited stimulation work will occur for
these wells.
Three Forks No. 1, has paid $1.9 million in capital for drilling and completion
costs and about $200,000, for 3D seismic and facilities.

The following wells are in the planning stages (shown on the map as open stars):
o G. A. Jennings #107 - Planned to spud this month.
o G. A. Jennings `BB' #108 - Drilling permit approved.
o G. A. Jennings #106, #109 and #110 - Drilling permits filed with TRRC.
Capital expenditures ("Capex") on this project is $3.0 million. As of December
31, 2013, a total of $1.9 million has been invested for drilling and well
completion work, $50,000 for seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation,
and $250,000 for equipment including approximately $220,000 in total costs
incurred by the Company.
BLUE QUAIL, CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
We entered into a Participation Agreement with Blue Quail Ltd. of Chandler,
Oklahoma to participate with a 25% WI in up to six wells in a multiple pay area
("Pink Prospect") within the Morvin oil field in Pottawatomie County where the
predominate production has been from the Bois d'Arc member of the Hunton Lime.
Additional pay intervals in the area include the Red Forks Sand, Misener Sand,
Viola Lime, Simpson Dolomite, and the 1st and 2nd Wilcox Sands. Two Pink
Prospect wells have been drilled to date with at least one more well planned. In
addition to the Pink Prospect area, another area, "Sportsman's Lake" was added
to the Participation Agreement under the same terms. Sportsman's Lake is located
in Seminole County, Oklahoma. One well was drilled in Sportsman's Lake by the
end of the year.
Please refer to Exhibit 99.2
for map picture
In the Pink Prospect area, drilling operations began in April 2013 with the
geologist, driller and operator (Blue Quail Ltd) each taking a 25% WI. Two wells
have been drilled (see solid black dots on the map) with results as follows:
o Blue Quail Jim #1-33 is currently completed in Bois D'Arc formation at
5-35 BOPD. Production variations have been primarily due to mechanical
issues with the artificial lift equipment.
o The Blue Quail Joe Gregory #1 was drilled and is currently completed
in the Bois D'Arc. Updip to the Jim #1-33, in early production, the
well is making mostly water with an oil cut.

In the Sportsman's Lake area, drilling operations began in October of 2013 with
the geologist, driller and operator (Blue Quail Ltd) each taking a 25% WI. One
well was drilled in 2013 (see solid black dot on the map), with results as
follows:
o Blue Quail Sportsman's Lake #1 is currently completed in
Misener/Hunton formation at 300 MCFGD with a trace of condensate.
FIVE JAB - EVANGELINE/ST. MARY'S PARISHES, LOUISIANA AND MONTGOMERY/TYLER
COUNTY, TEXAS
In June 2013, we acquired 37.5% WI and the remaining 37.5% WI effective
September 1, 2013 for a total of 75% WI in 27 producing/9 service wells in Texas
and Louisiana currently operated by Five JAB, Inc. out of Tomball, Texas, in
exchange for $3,869,497 in cash plus the assumption of liabilities in the amount
of $281,962. The remaining 25% WI is owned by Five, JAB, Inc. and other
non-affiliated owners. The properties currently produce 100 BOPD and 50 MCFPD.
The purchase included working interests in 13 producing wells, 9 service wells
and 14 additional wellbores, which are spread across Montgomery, Jasper and
Tyler Counties in Texas and the Evangeline and St. Mary Parishes in Louisiana.
Geologically, these wells are located in the Gulf Coast Upper
Jurassic-Cretaceous-Tertiary province. This province extends on shore and off
shore in the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida. The multiple
conventional pays make up the geological success of the area. The Five Jab
properties are all located onshore.
-7-
Workovers were initiated in September of 2013. Three of 11 workovers were
completed in 2013. The cost for all the workovers is estimated to total $1.25
million (net) and is forecast to double production.

COMPETITION, MARKETS, REGULATION AND TAXATION
COMPETITION.
------------
There are a large number of companies and individuals engaged in the exploration
for minerals and oil and gas; accordingly, there is a high degree of competition
for desirable properties. Almost all of the companies and individuals so engaged
have substantially greater technical and financial resources than we do.
MARKETS.
--------
The availability of a ready market for oil and gas discovered, if any, will
depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including the proximity and
capacity of refineries, pipelines, and the effect of state regulation of
production and of federal regulations of products sold in interstate commerce,
and recent intrastate sales. The market price of oil and gas are volatile and
beyond our control. The market for natural gas is also unsettled, and gas prices
have increased dramatically in the past four years with substantial fluctuation,
seasonally and annually.
There generally are only a limited number of gas transmission companies with
existing pipelines in the vicinity of a gas well or wells. In the event that
producing gas properties are not subject to purchase contracts or that any such
contracts terminate and other parties do not purchase our gas production, there
is no assurance that we will be able to enter into purchase contracts with any
transmission companies or other purchasers of natural gas and there can be no
assurance regarding the price which such purchasers would be willing to pay for
such gas. There presently exists an oversupply of gas in the certain areas of
the marketplace due to pipeline capacity, the extent and duration of which is
not known. Such oversupply may result in restrictions of purchases by principal
gas pipeline purchasers.
EFFECT OF CHANGING INDUSTRY CONDITIONS ON DRILLING ACTIVITY.
------------------------------------------------------------
Lower oil and gas prices have caused a decline in drilling activity in the U.S.
from time to time. However, such reduced activity has also resulted in a decline
in drilling costs, lease acquisition costs and equipment costs, and an
improvement in the terms under which drilling prospects are generally available.
We cannot predict what oil and gas prices will be in the future and what effect
those prices may have on drilling activity in general, or on our ability to
generate economic drilling prospects and to raise the necessary funds with which
to drill them.
FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
--------------------
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION.
--------------------------------------------------------
Oil and Gas: The oil and gas business in the United States is subject to
regulation by both federal and state authorities, particularly with respect to
pricing, allowable rates of production, marketing and environmental matters.
The production of crude oil and gas has, in recent years, been the subject of
increasing state and federal controls. No assurance can be given that newly
imposed or changed federal laws will not adversely affect the economic viability
of any oil and gas properties we may acquire in the future. Federal income and
"windfall profit" taxes have in the past affected the economic viability of such
properties.
The above paragraphs only give a brief overview of potential state and federal
regulations. Because we have only acquired specific properties, and because of
the wide range of activities in which we may participate, it is impossible to
set forth in detail the potential impact federal and state regulations may have
on us.
-9-
COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
---------------------------------------------------
Our operations are subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations
governing environmental quality and pollution control. To date our compliance
with these regulations has had no material effect on our operations, capital,
earnings, or competitive position, and the cost of such compliance has not been
material. We are unable to assess or predict at this time what effect additional
regulations or legislation could have on our activities.
THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY.
-------------------------
The Department of Energy Organization Act (Pub. L. No. 95-91) became effective
October 1, 1977. Under this Act various agencies, including the Federal Energy
Administration (FEA) and the Federal Power Commission (FPC), have been
consolidated to constitute the cabinet-level Department of Energy (DOE). The
Economic Regulatory Administration (ERA), a semi-independent administration
within the DOE, now administers most of the regulatory programs formerly managed
by the FEA, including oil pricing and allocation. The Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC), an independent agency within the DOE, has assumed the FPC's
responsibility for natural gas regulation.
REGULATION AND PRICING OF NATURAL GAS.
-------------------------------------
Our operations may be subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) with respect to the sale of natural gas for resale
in interstate and intrastate commerce. State regulatory agencies may exercise or
attempt to exercise similar powers with respect to intrastate sales of gas.
Because of its complexity and broad scope, the price impact of future
legislation on the operation of us cannot be determined at this time.
STATE REGULATIONS.
-----------------
Our production of oil and gas, if any, will be subject to regulation by state
regulatory authorities in the states in which we may produce oil and gas. In
general, these regulatory authorities are empowered to make and enforce
regulations to prevent waste of oil and gas and to protect correlative rights
and opportunities to produce oil and gas as between owners of a common
reservoir. Some regulatory authorities may also regulate the amount of oil and
gas produced by assigning allowable rates of production.
PROPOSED LEGISLATION.
---------------------
A number of legislative proposals have been and probably will continue to be
introduced in Congress and in the legislatures of various states, which, if
enacted, would significantly affect the petroleum industries. Such proposals and
executive actions involve, among other things, the imposition of land use
controls such as prohibiting drilling activities on certain federal and state
lands in roadless wilderness areas. At present, it is impossible to predict what
proposals, if any, will actually be enacted by Congress or the various state
legislatures and what effect, if any, such proposals will have.
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.
-------------------
Oil and gas exploration and development are specifically subject to existing
federal and state laws and regulations governing environmental quality and
pollution control. Such laws and regulations may substantially increase the
costs of exploring for, developing, or producing oil and gas and may prevent or
delay the commencement or continuation of a given operation.
All of our operations involving the exploration for or the production of any
minerals are subject to existing laws and regulations relating to exploration
procedures, safety precautions, employee health and safety, air quality
-10-
standards, pollution of stream and fresh water sources, odor, noise, dust, and
other environmental protection controls adopted by federal, state and local
governmental authorities as well as the right of adjoining property owners. We
may be required to prepare and present to federal, state or local authorities
data pertaining to the effect or impact that any proposed exploration for or
production of minerals may have upon the environment. All requirements imposed
by any such authorities may be costly, time consuming, and may delay
commencement or continuation of exploration or production operations.
It may be anticipated that future legislation will significantly emphasize the
protection of the environment, and that, as a consequence, our activities may be
more closely regulated to further the cause of environmental protection. Such
legislation, as well as future interpretation of existing laws, may require
substantial increases in equipment and operating costs to us and delays,
interruptions, or a termination of operations, the extent to which cannot now be
predicted.
TITLE TO PROPERTIES.
--------------------
We are not the record owner of our interest in our properties and rely instead
on contracts with the owner or operator of the property, pursuant to which,
among other things, we have the right to have our interest placed of record. As
is customary in the oil and gas industry, a preliminary title examination will
be conducted at the time unproved properties or interests are acquired by us.
Prior to commencement of drilling operations on such acreage and prior to the
acquisition of proved properties, we will conduct a title examination and
attempt to remedy extremely significant defects before proceeding with
operations or the acquisition of proved properties, as we may deem appropriate.
Our properties are subject to royalty, overriding royalty and other interests
customary in the industry, liens incident to agreements, current taxes and other
burdens, minor encumbrances, easements and restrictions. Although we are not
aware of any material title defects or disputes with respect to its undeveloped
acreage, to the extent such defects or disputes exist, we would suffer title
failures.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
------------------------------
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
NUMBER OF PERSONS EMPLOYED
--------------------------
As of December 31, 2013, we have 6 full-time employees and 4 independent
consultants.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
---------------------
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY
OUR BUSINESS HAS AN OPERATING HISTORY OF ONLY A YEAR AND A HALF AND IS UNPROVEN
AND THEREFORE RISKY.
We have only recently begun operations under the business plan discussed herein.
Stockholders should be made aware of the risk and difficulties encountered by a
new enterprise in the oil and gas industry, especially in view of the intense
competition from existing businesses in the industry.
WE HAVE A LACK OF REVENUE HISTORY AND STOCKHOLDERS CANNOT VIEW OUR PAST
PERFORMANCE SINCE WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY.
We were incorporated on March 28, 2012 for the purpose of engaging in any lawful
business and have adopted a plan to engage the acquisition, exploration, and if
warranted, development of natural resource properties. During the period of
inception March 28, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012, we did recognize
revenues of $78,726 from the operations of our properties in Weld County,
-11-
Colorado, which were sold in January 2013 as well as, recognize revenues of
$1,026,715 through our predecessor from the operations of the Five Jab
properties. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized revenues of
$894,128. We are not profitable. We must be regarded as a new venture with all
of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, risks and difficulties to which
such ventures are subject.
WE ARE NOT DIVERSIFIED AND WE WILL BE DEPENDENT ON ONLY ONE BUSINESS.
Because of the limited financial resources that we have, it is unlikely that we
will be able to diversify our operations. Our probable inability to diversify
our activities into more than one area will subject us to economic fluctuations
within the energy industry and therefore increase the risks associated with our
operations due to lack of diversification.
WE CAN GIVE NO ASSURANCE OF SUCCESS OR PROFITABILITY TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS.
There is no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. There is no
assurance that we will generate revenues or profits, or that the market price of
our common stock will be increased thereby.
WE MAY HAVE A SHORTAGE OF WORKING CAPITAL IN THE FUTURE WHICH COULD JEOPARDIZE
OUR ABILITY TO CARRY OUT OUR BUSINESS PLAN.
Our capital needs consist primarily of expenses related to geological
evaluation, general and administrative and exploration and workover
participation and could exceed $15,000,000 in the next twelve months. Such funds
are not currently committed, and we have cash of $74,275 as of December 31,
2013.
If we find oil and gas reserves to exist on a prospect, we will need substantial
additional financing to fund the necessary exploration and development work.
Furthermore, if the results of that exploration and development work are
successful, we will need substantial additional funds for continued development.
There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any financing.
These various financing alternatives may dilute the interest of our stockholders
and/or reduce our interest in the properties.
WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING FOR WHICH WE HAVE NO COMMITMENTS, AND THIS MAY
JEOPARDIZE EXECUTION OF OUR BUSINESS PLAN.
We have limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to carry out the
business plan in the oil and gas industry. Our ultimate success depends upon our
ability to raise additional capital. We have not investigated the availability,
source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of additional capital and
will not do so until it determines a need for additional financing. If we need
additional capital, we have no assurance that funds will be available from any
source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to us. If
not available, our operations will be limited to those that can be financed with
our modest capital.
WE MAY IN THE FUTURE ISSUE MORE SHARES WHICH COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL BY
OUR PRESENT MANAGEMENT AND CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS.
We may issue further shares as consideration for the cash or assets or services
out of our authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance,
represent a majority of the voting power and equity of our Company. The result
of such an issuance would be those new stockholders and management would control
our Company, and persons unknown could replace our management at this time. Such
an occurrence would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of our
Company by our current stockholders, which could present significant risks to
stockholders.
-12-
WE HAVE SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBT WHICH IS CONVERTIBLE INTO OUR COMMON STOCK. A
CONVERSION OF SUCH DEBT COULD HAVE A DILUTIVE EFFECT TO EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS.
In September 2013, we commenced a private offering of $2,000,000 Secured
Convertible Promissory Notes in order to complete the purchase of the remaining
37.5% WI in the Five JABS property discussed above. These notes are due in
September 2014 and are convertible into shares of our common stock in whole or
in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per share 6 months after issuance of the
secured convertible promissory note. The conversion of the convertible
promissory notes into shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to
the holdings of our existing shareholders. The Secured Convertible Promissory
Notes are secured by the Company's 75% of the right, title and working interest
in 1,955 gross leasehold acres including 13 producing wells, 9 service wells and
14 additional wellbores located in the States of Texas and Louisiana, the Five
JABS properties. The offering was not fully subscribed and a total of $1,535,000
was raised. Tincup Oil and Gas, LLC of which Mr. Ranew, a former director of the
Company, is a member, holds a Secured Convertible Promissory Note for $250,000.
At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $1,475,000 in outstanding
secured convertible promissory notes.
On March 31, 2014, holders of the above promissory notes purchased 1,390,000
warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of their
promissory notes issued to them by the Company in the amount of $1,390,000. A
warrant entitles the holder for a term of two years to purchase one share of
common stock of the Company at the rate of $1.00 per share. Therefore, as of
March 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,390,000 warrants to holders of the
promissory notes in cancellation of $1,390,000 in debt.
Separately and apart, two former members of management agreed to make up the
difference of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note Offering and the purchase
price of Five JABS in a separate transaction with separate terms with the
Company. Mr. Charles Pollard, a director and former officer, and Mr. Lester
Ranew, a former director of the Company, in exchange for secured convertible
promissory notes provided the Company with a total of $600,000 cash ($300,000
each). At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $600,000 to Mr. Pollard
and Mr. Ranew.
Mr. Pollard's and Mr. Ranew's notes have a due date of January 2, 2014 and allow
for the conversion of the notes into common stock upon issuance. Their notes
provide that in addition to having a due date of January 2, 2014, that at the
due date they will each receive a $7,500 payment of fees and interest. If the
notes are not paid at January 2, 2014, the Company is required to take immediate
steps to liquidate the secured property and the due date will be extended to
April 2, 2014. At January 2, 2014, the Company failed to make payment on the
notes. At that time Mr. Pollard and Ranew each entered into an Extension and
Waiver with the Company. The Extension and Waiver provides that the payment date
shall be extended to April 2, 2014 and both holders have waived the provision
that steps be taken to liquidate the secured property at this time. On April 7,
2014, Mr. Pollard extended the payment date on his note to May 2, 2014 and if
the payment is not made or the property has not been liquidated then he will be
assigned a 5.625% interest in the Five JABS properties. On March 31, 2014, Mr.
Ranew purchased 300,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and
cancellation of his promissory note issued to him by the Company in the amount
of $300,000. In May 2014, Mr. Pollard's note was paid in full.
WE HAVE AUTHORIZED AND DESIGNATED A CLASS A PREFERRED CONVERTIBLE STOCK, WHICH
HAVING VOTING RIGHTS EQUIVALENT TO OUR COMMON STOCK.
Class A Preferred Convertible Stock (the "Class A Preferred Stock") of which
500,000 shares of preferred stock have been authorized for the class and the
shares have a deemed purchase price at $4.50 per share. The Class A Preferred
Stock are to have voting rights equivalent to their conversion rate, one (1)
share of Class A Preferred Stock equals one (1) share of common stock. At this
time, no shares of the Class A Preferred Stock have been issued.
-13-
Holders of the Class A Preferred Stock would have the ability equal to that of
our common stockholders to vote in any vote of the common stockholders. The
Class A Preferred Stock would have a voting equivalent of 4.3%, if issued.
WE HAVE OPTIONS AND WARRANTS ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING WHICH ARE CONVERTIBLE INTO
OUR COMMON STOCK. A CONVERSION OF SUCH EQUITY INSTRUMENTS COULD HAVE A DILUTIVE
EFFECT TO EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.
As of December 31, 2013, we have options, warrants and convertible notes issued
and outstanding exercisable into 6,615,559 shares of our common stock at ranges
from $0.10 to $3.00 per share. The options, warrants and convertible notes are
exercisable in whole or in part. The exercise of the options and warrants into
shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to the holdings of our
existing stockholders.
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTERESTS AS TO CORPORATE
OPPORTUNITIES WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE OR ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN.
Presently there is no requirement contained in our Articles of Incorporation,
Bylaws, or minutes which requires officers and directors of our business to
disclose to us business opportunities which come to their attention. Our
officers and directors do, however, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty to us to
disclose to us any business opportunities which come to their attention, in
their capacity as an officer and/or director or otherwise. Excluded from this
duty would be opportunities which the person learns about through his
involvement as an officer and director of another company. We have no intention
of merging with or acquiring a business opportunity from any affiliate or
officer or director.
WE HAVE AGREED TO INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS AS IS PROVIDED BY
COLORADO STATUTES.
Colorado Statutes provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers,
employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and
other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party
arising from their association with or activities our behalf. We will also bear
the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees,
or agents, upon such person's promise to repay us therefore if it is ultimately
determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification.
This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us that
we will be unable to recoup.
OUR DIRECTORS' LIABILITY TO US AND STOCKHOLDERS IS LIMITED
Colorado Statutes exclude personal liability of our directors and our
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty except in certain
specified circumstances. Accordingly, we will have a much more limited right of
action against our directors that otherwise would be the case. This provision
does not affect the liability of any director under federal or applicable state
securities laws.
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
OUR BUSINESS, THE OIL AND GAS BUSINESS HAS NUMEROUS RISKS WHICH COULD RENDER US
UNSUCCESSFUL.
The search for new oil and gas reserves frequently results in unprofitable
efforts, not only from dry holes, but also from wells which, though productive,
will not produce oil or gas in sufficient quantities to return a profit on the
costs incurred. There is no assurance we will find or produce oil or gas from
any of the undeveloped acreage farmed out to us or which may be acquired by us,
nor are there any assurances that if we ever obtain any production it will be
profitable. (See "Business and Properties")
WE HAVE SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITORS WHO HAVE AN ADVANTAGE OVER US IN RESOURCES AND
MANAGEMENT.
We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the oil and gas
business. Most of our competitors have significantly greater financial
resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than us and,
consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying and
-14-
developing or exploring suitable prospects. Competitor's resources could
overwhelm our restricted efforts to acquire and explore oil and gas prospects
and cause failure of our business plan.
WE WILL BE SUBJECT TO ALL OF THE MARKET FORCES IN THE ENERGY BUSINESS, MANY OF
WHICH COULD POSE A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO OUR OPERATIONS.
The marketing of natural gas and oil which may be produced by our prospects will
be affected by a number of factors beyond our control. These factors include the
extent of the supply of oil or gas in the market, the availability of
competitive fuels, crude oil imports, the world-wide political situation, price
regulation, and other factors. Current economic and market conditions have
created dramatic fluctuations in oil prices. Any significant decrease in the
market prices of oil and gas could materially affect our profitability of oil
and gas activities.
There generally are only a limited number of gas transmission companies with
existing pipelines in the vicinity of a gas well or wells. In the event that
producing gas properties are not subject to purchase contracts or that any such
contracts terminate and other parties do not purchase our gas production, there
is assurance that we will be able to enter into purchase contracts with any
transmission companies or other purchasers of natural gas and there can be no
assurance regarding the price which such purchasers would be willing to pay for
such gas. There may, on occasion, be an oversupply of gas in the marketplace or
in pipelines; the extent and duration may affect prices adversely. Such
oversupply may result in reductions of purchases and prices paid to producers by
principal gas pipeline purchasers.
(See "Our Business and Competition, Markets, Regulation and Taxation.")
WE BELIEVE STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD CONSIDER CERTAIN NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF OUR
OPERATIONS.
DRY HOLES: We may expend substantial funds acquiring and potentially
participating in exploring properties which we later determine not to be
productive. All funds so expended will be a total loss to us.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: We will find it necessary to employ technical
assistance in the operation of our business. As of the date of this Prospectus,
we have not contracted for any technical assistance. When we need it such
assistance is likely to be available at compensation levels we would be able to
pay.
UNCERTAINTY OF TITLE: We will attempt to acquire leases or interests in
leases by option, lease, farmout or by purchase. The validity of title to oil
and gas property depends upon numerous circumstances and factual matters (many
of which are not discoverable of record or by other readily available means) and
is subject to many uncertainties of existing law and our application. We intend
to obtain an oil and gas attorney's opinion of valid title before any
significant expenditure upon a lease.
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS: The area of exploration of natural resources has
become significantly regulated by state and federal governmental agencies, and
such regulation could have an adverse effect on our operations. Compliance with
statutes and regulations governing the oil and gas industry could significantly
increase the capital expenditures necessary to develop our prospects.
NATURE OF OUR BUSINESS: Our business is highly speculative, involves the
commitment of high-risk capital, and exposes us to potentially substantial
losses. In addition, we will be in direct competition with other organizations
which are significantly better financed and staffed than we are.
GENERAL ECONOMIC AND OTHER CONDITIONS: Our business may be adversely
affected from time to time by such matters as changes in general economic,
industrial and international conditions; changes in taxes; oil and gas prices
and costs; excess supplies and other factors of a general nature.
-15-
OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER INTERRUPTIONS.
Our activities may be subject to periodic interruptions due to weather
conditions. Weather-imposed restrictions during certain times of the year on
roads accessing properties could adversely affect our ability to benefit from
production on such properties or could increase the costs of drilling new wells
because of delays.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT OPERATING HAZARDS AND UNINSURED RISK IN THE ENERGY
INDUSTRY.
Our proposed operations will be subject to all of the operating hazards and
risks normally incident to exploring, drilling for and producing oil and gas,
such as encountering unusual or unexpected formations and pressures, blowouts,
environmental pollution and personal injury. We will maintain general liability
insurance but we have not obtained insurance against such things as blowouts and
pollution risks because of the prohibitive expense. Should we sustain an
uninsured loss or liability, or a loss in excess of policy limits, our ability
to operate may be materially adversely affected.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS AND CHANGES THEREIN WHICH COULD
ADVERSELY IMPACT US.
Federal income tax laws are of particular significance to the oil and gas
industry in which we engage. Legislation has eroded various benefits of oil and
gas producers and subsequent legislation could continue this trend. Congress is
continually considering proposals with respect to Federal income taxation which
could have a material adverse effect on our future operations and on our ability
to obtain risk capital which our industry has traditionally attracted from
taxpayers in high tax brackets.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL GOVERNMENT REGULATION IN THE ENERGY INDUSTRY WHICH
COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT US.
The production and sale of oil and gas are subject to regulation by state and
federal authorities, the spacing of wells and the prevention of waste. There are
both federal and state laws regarding environmental controls which may
necessitate significant capital outlays, resulting in extended delays,
materially affect our earnings potential and cause material changes in the in
our proposed business. We cannot predict what legislation, if any, may be passed
by Congress or state legislatures in the future, or the effect of such
legislation, if any, on us. Such regulations may have a significant effect on
our operating results.
RISKS RELATING TO OWNERSHIP OF THREE FORKS, INC. COMMON STOCK
NO PUBLIC MARKET EXISTS FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AT THIS TIME, AND THERE IS NO
ASSURANCE OF A FUTURE MARKET.
There is no public market for our common stock, and no assurance can be given
that a market will develop or that a shareholder ever will be able to liquidate
his investment without considerable delay, if at all. If a market should
develop, the price may be highly volatile. Factors such as those discussed in
the "Risk Factors" section may have a significant impact upon the market price
of the shares offered hereby. Due to the low price of our securities, many
brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in our securities.
Even if a purchaser finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in our
shares, the combination of brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, if any,
and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending
institutions will not permit the use of our shares as collateral for any loans.
OUR STOCK, IF EVER LISTED, WILL IN ALL LIKELIHOOD BE THINLY TRADED AND AS A
RESULT YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL AT OR NEAR ASK PRICES OR AT ALL IF YOU NEED TO
LIQUIDATE YOUR SHARES.
The shares of our common stock, if ever listed, may be thinly-traded. We are a
small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers,
institutional stockholders and others in the investment community that generate
or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such
-16-
persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an
unproven, early stage company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase
of any of our Securities until such time as we became more seasoned and viable.
As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading
activity in our Securities is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned
issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will
generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on Securities
price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public
trading market for our common Securities will develop or be sustained, or that
any trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give
stockholders no assurance that they will be able to sell their shares at or near
ask prices or at all if they need money or otherwise desire to liquidate their
securities.
OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE VOLATILE, WHICH SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASES THE RISK THAT
YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SECURITIES AT OR ABOVE THE PRICE THAT YOU MAY
PAY FOR THE SECURITY.
If we are able to obtain an exchange listing of our common stock in the future,
because of the possible price volatility, you may not be able to sell your
shares of common stock when you desire to do so. The inability to sell your
securities in a rapidly declining market may substantially increase your risk of
loss because of such illiquidity and because the price for our securities may
suffer greater declines because of our price volatility.
The price of our common stock that will prevail in the market after this
offering may be higher or lower than the price you may pay. Certain factors,
some of which are beyond our control, that may cause our share price to
fluctuate significantly include, but are not limited to the following:
o Variations in our quarterly operating results;
o Loss of a key relationship or failure to complete significant
transactions;
o Additions or departures of key personnel; and
o Fluctuations in stock market price and volume.
Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, has experienced
extreme price and volume fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations are
unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying
company. These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect
our stock price, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, class
action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of
volatility in the market price of those companies common stock. If we become
involved in this type of litigation in the future, it could result in
substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which
could have a further negative effect on your investment in our stock.
THE REGULATION OF PENNY STOCKS BY THE SEC AND FINRA MAY DISCOURAGE THE
TRADABILITY OF OUR SECURITIES.
We are a "penny stock" company, as our stock price is less than $5.00 per share.
If we are able to obtain an exchange listing for our stock, we cannot make an
assurance that we will be able to maintain a stock price greater than $5.00 per
share and if the share price was to fall to such prices, that we wouldn't be
subject to the Penny Stocks rules. None of our securities currently trade in any
market and, if ever available for trading, will be subject to a Securities and
Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon
broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established
customers or accredited stockholders. For purposes of the rule, the phrase
"accredited stockholders" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in
excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000
or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a
spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the
broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser
and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the
sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in
penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of purchasers in
this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop
therefore because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock
transactions.
-17-
In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of
rules to regulate "penny stocks". Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2,
15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within
the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The
rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities
in any market that might develop for them because it imposes additional
regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
Stockholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange
Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from
patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for
the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the
promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of
purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room"
practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price
projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed
bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the
wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after
prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our
management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny
stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the
behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market,
management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent
the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
Inventory in penny stocks have limited remedies in the event of violations of
penny stock rules. While the courts are always available to seek remedies for
fraud against us, most, if not all, brokerages require their customers to sign
mandatory arbitration agreements in conjunctions with opening trading accounts.
Such arbitration may be through an independent arbiter. Stockholders may file a
complaint with FINRA against the broker allegedly at fault, and FINRA may be the
arbiter, under FINRA rules. Arbitration rules generally limit discovery and
provide more expedient adjudication, but also provide limited remedies in
damages usually only the actual economic loss in the account. Stockholders
should understand that if a fraud case is filed an against a company in the
courts it may be vigorously defended and may take years and great legal expenses
and costs to pursue, which may not be economically feasible for small
stockholders.
That absent arbitration agreements, specific legal remedies available to
stockholders of penny stocks include the following:
If a penny stock is sold to the investor in violation of the requirements listed
above, or other federal or states securities laws, the investor may be able to
cancel the purchase and receive a refund of the investment.
If a penny stock is sold to the investor in a fraudulent manner, the investor
may be able to sue the persons and firms that committed the fraud for damages.
The fact that we are a penny stock company will cause many brokers to refuse to
handle transactions in the stocks, and may discourage trading activity and
volume, or result in wide disparities between bid and ask prices. These may
cause stockholders significant illiquidity of the stock at a price at which they
may wish to sell or in the opportunity to complete a sale. Stockholders will
have no effective legal remedies for these illiquidity issues.
WE WILL PAY NO FORESEEABLE DIVIDENDS IN THE FUTURE.
We have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not ever anticipate paying
such dividends in the foreseeable future.
RULE 144 SALES IN THE FUTURE MAY HAVE A DEPRESSIVE EFFECT ON OUR STOCK PRICE.
All of the outstanding shares of common stock are held by our present officers,
directors, and affiliate stockholders as "restricted securities" within the
meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted
shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration
-18-
statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions
from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state
securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held
restricted securities for six months may, under certain conditions, sell every
three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed
the greater of 1.0% of a company's outstanding common stock or the average
weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale. There is
no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a
non-affiliate after the owner has held the restricted securities for a period of
two years. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if
available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of common stock of
present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common
stock in any market that may develop.
OUR STOCKHOLDERS MAY SUFFER FUTURE DILUTION DUE TO ISSUANCES OF SHARES FOR
VARIOUS CONSIDERATIONS IN THE FUTURE.
There may be substantial dilution to Three Forks stockholders as a result of
future decisions of the Board to issue shares without shareholder approval for
cash, services, or acquisitions.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
As is customary in the oil and natural gas industry, we generally conduct a
preliminary title examination prior to the acquisition of properties or
leasehold interests. Prior to commencement of operations on such acreage, a
thorough title examination will usually be conducted and any significant defects
will be remedied before proceeding with operations. We believe the title to our
leasehold properties is good, defensible and customary with practices in the oil
and natural gas industry, subject to such exceptions that we believe do not
materially detract from the use of such properties. With respect to our
properties of which we are not the record owner, we rely instead on contracts
with the owner or operator of the property or assignment of leases, pursuant to
which, among other things, we generally have the right to have our interest
placed on record.
Our properties are generally subject to royalty, overriding royalty and other
interests customary in the industry, liens incident to agreements, current taxes
and other burdens, minor encumbrances, easements and restrictions. We do not
believe any of these burdens will materially interfere with our use of these
properties.

Estimates of proved developed and undeveloped reserves are inherently imprecise
and are continually subject to revision based on production history, results of
additional exploration and development, price changes and other factors. See
"Qualifications of Technical Persons and Internal Controls Over Reserves
Estimation Process."
QUALIFICATIONS OF TECHNICAL PERSONS AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER RESERVES
ESTIMATION PROCESS
The reserve report for Three Forks, Inc. was prepared for us on March 16, 2014,
by Ralph E. Davis Associates, Inc, ("RED") as part of our year ended audit and
preparation of our annual report. RED estimated, in accordance with petroleum
engineering and evaluation principles set forth in the Standards Pertaining to
the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserve Information promulgated by
the Society of Petroleum Engineers ("SPE Standards") and definitions and
guidelines established by the SEC, 100% of the proved reserve information for
our onshore properties as of December 31, 2013.
The technical persons responsible for preparing the reserves estimates presented
herein meet the requirements regarding qualifications, independence, objectivity
and confidentiality set forth in the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and
-20-
Auditing of Oil and Natural Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society
of Petroleum Engineers.
The principal person at RED who prepared the reserve report is Mr. David G.
Cole. Mr. Cole has been a practicing petroleum engineer at RED since December
2011. Mr. Cole has over 25 years of practical experience in petroleum
engineering, with over 25 years of experience in the estimation and evaluation
of reserves. He graduated from Texas A&M University in 1987 with a Bachelors of
Science in Petroleum Engineering.
Mr. Charles Pollard, the Company's former President and Chief Operating Officer,
was primarily responsible for the determination of and the presentation of the
reserves presented by the Company at December 31, 2013.
We have an internal staff of geoscience professionals who worked closely with
our independent petroleum engineering firms to ensure the integrity, accuracy
and timeliness of data furnished to them in their reserves estimation process.
The technical team consulted regularly with RED. We review with them our
properties and to discuss methods and assumptions used in their preparation of
the fiscal year-end reserves estimates. While we have no formal committee
specifically designated to review reserves reporting and the reserves estimation
process, a copy RED's reserve reports are reviewed with representatives of RED
and our internal technical staff before we disseminate any of the information is
disseminated. Additionally, our senior management reviews and approved the RED
reserve report and any internally estimated significant changes to the proved
reserves on an annual basis.
Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are projections based on a process
involving an independent third party engineering firm's collection of all
required geologic, geophysical, engineering and economic data, and such firm's
complete external preparation of all required estimates and are forward-looking
in nature. These reports rely upon various assumptions, including assumptions
required by the SEC, such as constant oil and natural gas prices, operating
expenses and future capital costs. The process also requires assumptions
relating to availability of funds and timing of capital expenditures for
development of our proved undeveloped reserves. These reports should not be
construed as the current market value of our reserves. The process of estimating
oil and natural gas reserves is also dependent on geological, engineering and
economic data for each reservoir. Because of the uncertainties inherent in the
interpretation of this data, we cannot be certain that the reserves will
ultimately be realized. Our actual results could differ materially. See "Note 17
-- Supplemental Information Relating to Oil and Natural Gas Producing Activities
(Unaudited)" to our financial statements for additional information regarding
our oil and natural gas reserves.
Under SEC rules, proved reserves are those quantities of oil and natural gas,
which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with
reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward,
from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating
methods, and government regulations. The term "reasonable certainty" implies a
high degree of confidence that the quantities of oil and/or natural gas actually
recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. To achieve reasonable certainty,
RED employs technologies consistent with the standards established by the
Society of Petroleum Engineers. The technologies and economic data used in the
estimation of our proved reserves include, but are not limited to, well logs,
geologic maps and available downhole and production data, seismic data and well
test data.

o G. A. Jennings `BB' #108 - Drilling permit approved.
o G. A. Jennings #106, #109 and #110 - Drilling permits filed with TRRC.
Capital expenditures ("Capex") on this project are $3.0 million. As of December
31, 2013, a total of $1.9 million has been invested for drilling and well
completion work, $50,000 for seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation,
and $250,000 for equipment including approximately $220,000 in total costs
incurred by the Company.
BLUE QUAIL, CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
We entered into a Participation Agreement with Blue Quail Ltd. of Chandler,
Oklahoma to participate with a 25% WI in up to six wells in a multiple pay area
("Pink Prospect") within the Morvin oil field in Pottawatomie County where the
predominate production has been from the Bois d'Arc member of the Hunton Lime.
Additional pay intervals in the area include the Red Forks Sand, Misener Sand,
Viola Lime, Simpson Dolomite, and the 1st and 2nd Wilcox Sands. Two Pink
Prospect wells have been drilled to date with at least one more well planned. In
addition to the Pink Prospect area, another area, "Sportsman's Lake" was added
to the Participation Agreement under the same terms. Sportsman's Lake is located
in Seminole County, Oklahoma. One well was drilled in Sportsman's Lake by the
end of the year.
In the Pink Prospect area, drilling operations began in April 2013 with the
geologist, driller and operator (Blue Quail Ltd) each taking a 25% WI. Two wells
have been drilled with results as follows:
o Blue Quail Jim #1-33 is currently completed in Bois D'Arc formation at 5-35
BOPD. Production variations have been primarily due to mechanical issues
with the artificial lift equipment.
o The Blue Quail Joe Gregory #1 was drilled and is currently completed in the
Bois D'Arc. Updip to the Jim #1-33, in early production, the well is making
mostly water with an oil cut.
In the Sportsman's Lake area, drilling operations began in October of 2013 with
the geologist, driller and operator (Blue Quail Ltd) each taking a 25% WI. One
well was drilled in 2013 (see solid black dot on the map), with results as
follows:
o Blue Quail Sportsman's Lake #1 is currently completed in Misener/Hunton
formation at 300 MCFGD with a trace of condensate.
FIVE JAB - EVANGELINE/ST. MARY'S PARISHES, LOUISIANA AND MONTGOMERY/TYLER
COUNTY, TEXAS
The properties currently produce 100 BOPD and 50 MCFPD.
The property includes working interests in 13 producing wells, 9 service wells
and 14 additional wellbores, which are spread across Montgomery, Jasper and
Tyler Counties in Texas and the Evangeline and St. Mary Parishes in Louisiana.
Geologically, these wells are located in the Gulf Coast Upper
Jurassic-Cretaceous-Tertiary province. This province extends on shore and off
shore in the states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida. The multiple
conventional pays make up the geological success of the area. The Five Jab
properties are all located onshore.
-24-
Workovers were initiated in September of 2013. Three of 11 workovers were
completed in 2013. The cost for all the workovers is estimated to total $1.25
million (net) and is forecast to double production.

Three Forks anticipates that it (including current and any future subsidiaries)
will from time to time become subject to claims and legal proceedings arising in
the ordinary course of business. It is not feasible to predict the outcome of
any such proceedings and Three Forks cannot assure that their ultimate
disposition will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. The Company is not a
party to any pending legal proceedings, nor is the Company aware of any civil
proceeding or government authority contemplating any legal proceeding as of the
date of this filing.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND
ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARKET INFORMATION
Currently there is no public trading market for our stock, and we have not
applied to have the common stock quoted for trading in any venue.
We intend to obtain a listing for our stock on an exchange in the future, but
cannot make any assurances that we will be approved for such listing, as the
exchanges have certain listing requirements that we would have to meet. Such
listing requirements at a minimum include, but are not limited to:
- Stockholders' equity of at least $4,000,000 and/or 2 years of operating
history and/or pre-tax income of at least $750,000 in our last fiscal year
or two of the last three fiscal years;
- Be able to meet certain distribution requirements; and
- Be able to meet certain market values of publicly held shares and aggregate
market values of the shares.
HOLDERS
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately 395 holders of record of
the Common Stock. Since a portion of the Company's common stock may be held in
"street" or nominee name, the Company is unable to determine the exact number of
beneficial holders.
DIVIDEND POLICY
As of the filing of this annual report, we have not paid any dividends to
stockholders. There are no restrictions which would limit our ability to pay
dividends on common equity or that are likely to do so in the future. The
Colorado 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 the 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.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO AND THE OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDED
ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT. THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY
FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF ANY
NUMBER OF FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE SET FORTH UNDER "RISK FACTORS" ON PAGE 19 AND
ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
1st Quarter 2014 o Drill and complete 4-5 additional wells in Archer County;
o Drill and complete 2-3 additional wells in Oklahoma;
o 10-11 well workovers in Five JAB projects
------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
2nd Quarter 2014 o Drill and complete 6-8 wells in new development areas
------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
3rd Quarter 2014 o Drill and complete 6-8 wells in new development areas
------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
Our Budget for operations in the next year is as follows:
Working Capital $3,000,000
Drilling and Development of Five JAB Wells $1,500,000
Targeted Acquisition $7,000,000
Drilling and Development of new areas $2,000,000
Fees, commissions and general expenses $1,500,000
-------------
$15,000,000
The Company may change any or all of the budget categories in the execution of
its business model. None of the line items are to be considered fixed or
unchangeable. The Company may need substantial additional capital to support its
budget. We have recognized minimal revenues from our operational activities
prior to June 30, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized
revenues of $894,128 from our operations.
We have conducted a Private Offering of shares of our restricted common stock
for capital. We intend to raise up to $15 million in the next twelve months with
a structure not yet determined in debt or equity. As of December 31, 2013, the
Company had sold approximately 5,500,000 shares of its common stock, raising a
total of approximately $4,900,000. We cannot give any assurances that we will be
able to raise the full $15,000,000 to fund the budget. Further, we will need to
raise additional funds to support not only our expected budget, but our
continued operations. We cannot make any assurances that we will be able to
raise such funds or whether we would be able to raise such funds with terms that
are favorable to us.
-34-
In September 2013, we commenced a private offering of $2,000,000 Secured
Convertible Promissory Notes in order to complete the purchase of the remaining
37.5% WI in the Five JABS property discussed above. These notes are due in
September 2014 and are convertible into shares of our common stock in whole or
in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per share 6 months after issuance of the
secured convertible promissory note. The conversion of the convertible
promissory notes into shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to
the holdings of our existing shareholders. The Secured Convertible Promissory
Notes are secured by the Company's 75% of the right, title and working interest
in 1,955 gross leasehold acres including 13 producing wells, 9 service wells and
14 additional wellbores located in the States of Texas and Louisiana, the Five
JABS properties. The offering was not fully subscribed and a total of $1,535,000
was raised. Tincup Oil and Gas, LLC of which Mr. Ranew, a former director of the
Company, is a member, holds a Secured Convertible Promissory Note for $250,000.
At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $1,475,000 in outstanding
secured convertible promissory notes.
On March 31, 2014, holders of the above promissory notes purchased 1,390,000
warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of their
promissory notes issued to them by the Company in the amount of $1,390,000. A
warrant entitles the holder for a term of two years to purchase one share of
common stock of the Company at the rate of $1.00 per share. Therefore, as of
March 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,390,000 warrants to holders of the
promissory notes in exchange for the cancellation of $1,390,000 in debt.
Separately and apart, two former members of management agreed to make up the
difference of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note Offering and the purchase
price of Five JABS in a separate transaction with separate terms with the
Company. Mr. Charles Pollard, a director and former officer and Mr. Lester
Ranew, a former director of the Company, in exchange for secured convertible
promissory notes provided the Company with a total of $600,000 cash ($300,000
each). At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $600,000 to Mr. Pollard
and Mr. Ranew.
Mr. Pollard's and Mr. Ranew's notes have a due date of January 2, 2014 and allow
for the conversion of the notes into common stock upon issuance. Their notes
provide that in addition to having a due date of January 2, 2014, that at the
due date they will each receive a $7,500 payment of fees and interest. If the
notes are not paid at January 2, 2014, the Company is required to take immediate
steps to liquidate the secured property and the due date will be extended to
April 2, 2014. At January 2, 2014, the Company failed to make payment on the
notes. At that time Mr. Pollard and Ranew each entered into an Extension and
Waiver with the Company. The Extension and Waiver provides that the payment date
shall be extended to April 2, 2014 and both holders have waived the provision
that steps be taken to liquidate the secured property at this time. On April 7,
2014, Mr. Pollard extended the payment date on his note to May 2, 2014 and if
the payment is not made or the property has not been liquidated then he will be
assigned a 5.625% interest in the Five JABS properties. On March 31, 2014, Mr.
Ranew purchased 300,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and
cancellation of his promissory note issued to him by the Company in the amount
of $300,000.
Based on our current cash reserves of $121,174 as of December 31, 2013, we have
the cash for an operational budget of six months. We have generated minimal and
sporadic revenues to date and prior to June 30, 2013 such revenues were
generated by properties we sold on January 1, 2013. If we are unable to generate
enough revenue, through our other subsidiaries, to cover our operational costs,
we will need to seek additional sources of funds. Currently, we have NO
committed source for any funds as of date hereof. No representation is made that
any funds will be available when needed. In the event funds cannot be raised if
and when needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan and could
fail in business as a result of these uncertainties.
The independent registered public accounting firm's report on our financial
statements as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, includes a "going concern"
explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.

$200,000 as well as issued warrants for 275,000 shares in exchange for $27 in
cash.
SHORT TERM
On a short-term basis, we have not generated any revenue or revenues sufficient
to cover operations. Based on prior history, we will continue to have
insufficient revenue to satisfy current and recurring liabilities as the Company
continues exploration activities.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has only common stock as its capital resource.
We have no material commitments for capital expenditures within the next year,
however if operations are commenced, substantial capital will be needed to pay
for participation, investigation, exploration, acquisition and working capital.
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING
We do not have capital sufficient to meet its cash needs. The Company will have
to seek loans or equity placements to cover such cash needs. Once exploration
commences, its needs for additional financing is likely to increase
substantially.
No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by the Company's
management or other stockholders. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that
any additional funds will be available to us to allow us to cover the Company's
expenses as they may be incurred.
The Company will need substantial additional capital to support its proposed
future energy operations. We have MINIMAL revenues. The Company has NO committed
source for any funds as of the date hereof. No representation is made that any
funds will be available when needed. In the event funds cannot be raised when
needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan, may never achieve
sales or royalty income, and could fail in business as a result of these
uncertainties.
-38-
Decisions regarding future participation in exploration wells or geophysical
studies or other activities will be made on a case-by-case basis. The Company
may, in any particular case, decide to participate or decline participation. If
participating, we may pay its proportionate share of costs to maintain the
Company's proportionate interest through cash flow or debt or equity financing.
If participation is declined, the Company may elect to farmout, non-consent,
sell or otherwise negotiate a method of cost sharing in order to maintain some
continuing interest in the prospect.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are stated at their cost less any allowance for doubtful
accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the management's
assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of
the accounts receivable. If there is deterioration in a major customer's
creditworthiness or if actual defaults are higher than the historical
experience, the management's estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to
the Company could be adversely affected. Based on the management's assessment,
there is no reserve recorded at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue from the exploration and production of the
Company's oil and gas properties in the period of production.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas
operations. Under this method all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in
connection with the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and natural
gas reserves are capitalized. No gains or losses are recognized upon the sale or
other disposition of oil and natural gas properties except in transactions that
would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved
reserves. Unproved properties with significant acquisition costs are assessed
annually on a property-by-property basis and any impairment in value is charged
to expense. If the unproved properties are determined to be productive, the
related costs are transferred to proved oil and natural gas properties and are
depleted. Proceeds from sales of partial interests in unproved leases are
accounted for as a recovery of cost without recognizing any gain or loss until
all costs have been recovered. The costs of unproved oil and natural gas
properties are excluded from the amortizable base until the time that either
proven reserves are found or it has been determined that such properties are
impaired. As properties become proved, the related costs transfer to proved oil
and natural gas properties using full cost accounting. There were capitalized
costs of $5,614,987 and $0 included in the amortization base at December 31,
2013 and 2012, respectively and the Company did not expense any capitalized
costs for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the period March 28, 2012
(inception) through December 31, 2012.
The Company performs a quarterly "ceiling test" calculation to test its oil and
gas properties for possible impairment. The primary components impacting this
calculation are commodity prices, reserve quantities added and produced, overall
exploration and development costs, depletion expense, and tax effects. If the
net capitalized cost of the Company's oil and gas properties subject to
amortization (the carrying value) exceeds the ceiling limitation, the excess
would be charged to expense. The ceiling limitation is equal to the sum of the
present value discounted at 10% of estimated future net cash flows from proved
reserves, the cost of properties not being amortized, the lower of cost or
estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being
amortized, and all related tax effects. At December 31, 2013, the calculated
value of the ceiling limitation exceeded the carrying value of the Company's oil
and gas properties subject to the test, and no impairment was necessary.
Management capitalizes additions to property and equipment. Expenditures for
repairs and maintenance are charged to expense. Property and equipment are
carried at cost. Adjustment of the asset and the related accumulated
depreciation accounts are made for property and equipment retirements and
disposals, with the resulting gain or loss included in the statement of
-39-
operations. The Company has not capitalized any internal costs for the year
ended December 31, 2013 and for the period March 28, 2012 (inception) through
December 31, 2012.
Other property and equipment, such as office furniture and equipment, and
computer hardware and software, are recorded at cost. Costs of renewals and
improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are
capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred.
For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization of other
property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of assets at acquisition. For income tax reporting
purposes, depreciation of other equipment is computed using the straight-line
and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of assets at
acquisition.
Depreciation and depletion of capitalized acquisition, exploration and
development costs are computed on the units-of-production method by individual
fields on the basis of the total estimated units of proved reserves as the
related proved reserves are produced.
Depreciation and amortization of oil and gas property and other property and
equipment for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the period March 28, 2012
(inception) through December 31, 2012 is $64,589 and $449, respectively.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for share-based payment accruals under authoritative
guidance on stock compensation as set forth in the Topics of the ASC. The
guidance requires all share-based payments to employees and non-employees,
including grants of employee and non-employee stock options, to be recognized in
the financial statements based on their fair values.

$22,313 and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense of $14,466 offset
by a slight decrease in lease operating expenses of $4,114.

$384,971 increase in revenues offset by the $47,825 increase in operational
expenses, but the result of a one-time gain of $2,277,453 recognized on the sale
of the oil and gas properties to Three Forks, Inc.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND
FOR THE PERIOD FROM MARCH 28, 2012 (INCEPTION) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2012
F-1
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF THREE FORKS, INC.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Three Forks, Inc. ("the
Company") as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related statement of
operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 2013 and for the period March 28, 2012 (inception) through December
31, 2012. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Three Forks, Inc., as of December
31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year ended December 31, 2013 and for the period March 28, 2012 (inception)
through December 31, 2012, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of
its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
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's significant operating losses raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND
THE PERIOD OF MARCH 28, 2012 (INCEPTION) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2012
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
---------------------------------------------------
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION
Three Forks, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on March 28, 2012 in the
State of Colorado. The Company's business plan focuses on the development as an
independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development
and production of North American conventional oil and gas properties through the
acquisition of leases and/or royalty interests and developing the properties for
maximum cash flow.
On September 7, 2012, the Company acquired working interests between 10.12% and
10.50% in five (5) producing oil and gas wells along with mineral interests in
proved undeveloped leaseholds totaling approximately 320 acres located in Weld
county Colorado valued at $1,477,990 as well as a 76.25% working interest in
undeveloped leaseholds totaling approximately 120 acres located in Morgan county
Colorado valued at $14,000 in exchange for the issuance of 700,000 shares of the
Company's common stock valued at $1,400,000 or $2.00 per share and the
assumption of certain debt in the amount of $91,990. In addition, the Company
was required to fund an escrow account in the amount of $55,000 for legal
services that may occur over a three year period from the date of the
acquisition and this escrow account at December 31, 2013 and 2012 has a balance
of $55,163 and $55,081 respectively. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company sold
its entire interest in these oil and gas properties located in Weld county
Colorado for $1,600,000 in cash. See Note 4 - Disposal Group Held for Sale.
On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Farmout Agreement ("Farmout")
where the Company had a 100% working interest in 320gross/290net acres of
mineral interests located in Archer county Texas subject to the Farmout. In
consideration of Three Forks No 1 LLC, a Colorado limited liability company
("LLC"), undertaking and paying it's pro rata portion of the costs associated
with the drilling and completion of 9 wells in Archer county Texas on the
Farmout property, the Company assigned 87% of the working interest in the
Farmout to the LLC. Likewise, on January 1, 2013, the Company assigned 2% of the
working interest in the Farmout to two members of the Board of Directors of the
Company.
Three Forks LLC No 2 ("Three Forks No 2") was organized in the State of Colorado
on December 4, 2013. The Company is the manager of the Three Forks No. 2 and the
Company does not hold an equity interest in Three Forks No 2. Three Forks No 2
has been organized to fund and develop the proposed drilling of additional wells
in Archer County, Texas. At December 31 2013, Three Forks No 2 has yet to
commence operations.
Effective June 30, 2013 and September 1, 2013, the Company acquired a 37.5% and
37.5% working interest, respectively or a total of 75% working interest in
certain oil and gas properties located in Louisiana and Texas totaling
approximately 1955 gross acres known as the Five Jab properties in exchange for
$3,869,497 in cash plus the assumption of liabilities in the amount of $281,962
as part of a purchase sale and participation agreement dated February 27, 2013
as well as participate in a development program that includes the drilling and
completion of additional wells
The Company's acquisition of the 75% of working interest in the oil and gas
properties was accounted for as an acquisition for accounting purposes.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method as prescribed
by ASC authoritative guidance. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are
determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND
THE PERIOD OF MARCH 28, 2012 (INCEPTION) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2012
The Company has adopted ASC guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by
prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required
to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and applies to all
income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two-step
process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not
that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits,
upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is
expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the
financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely
to be realized upon its ultimate settlement. At December, 2013 and 2012 there
were no uncertain tax positions that required accrual.
(LOSS) PER SHARE
(Loss) per share requires presentation of both basic and diluted (loss) per
common share. Common share equivalents, if used, would consist of any options,
warrants and contingent shares, and would not be included in the weighted
average calculation since their effect would be anti-dilutive due to the net
(loss). At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding
6,615,559 and 0, respectively options, warrants or contingent shares.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates,
and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company, from time to time during the periods covered by these financial
statements, may have bank balances in excess of its insured limits. Management
has deemed this a normal business risk.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash and
highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are stated at their cost less any allowance for doubtful
accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the management's
assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of
the accounts receivable. If there is deterioration in a major customer's
creditworthiness or if actual defaults are higher than the historical
experience, the management's estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to
the Company could be adversely affected. Based on the management's assessment,
there is no reserve recorded at December, 2013 and 2012.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue from the exploration and production of the
Company's oil and gas properties in the period of production.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND
THE PERIOD OF MARCH 28, 2012 (INCEPTION) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2012
OIL AND GAS PRODUCING ACTIVITIES
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas
operations. Under this method all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in
connection with the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and natural
gas reserves are capitalized. No gains or losses are recognized upon the sale or
other disposition of oil and natural gas properties except in transactions that
would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved
reserves. Unproved properties with significant acquisition costs are assessed
annually on a property-by-property basis and any impairment in value is charged
to expense. If the unproved properties are determined to be productive, the
related costs are transferred to proved oil and natural gas properties and are
depleted. Proceeds from sales of partial interests in unproved leases are
accounted for as a recovery of cost without recognizing any gain or loss until
all costs have been recovered. The costs of unproved oil and natural gas
properties are excluded from the amortizable base until the time that either
proven reserves are found or it has been determined that such properties are
impaired. As properties become proved, the related costs transfer to proved oil
and natural gas properties using full cost accounting. There were capitalized
costs of $5,614,987 and $0 included in the amortization base at December 31,
2013 and 2012, respectively and the Company did not expense any capitalized
costs for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the period March 28, 2012
(inception) through December 31, 2012.
The Company performs a quarterly "ceiling test" calculation to test its oil and
gas properties for possible impairment. The primary components impacting this
calculation are commodity prices, reserve quantities added and produced, overall
exploration and development costs, depletion expense, and tax effects. If the
net capitalized cost of the Company's oil and gas properties subject to
amortization (the carrying value) exceeds the ceiling limitation, the excess
would be charged to expense. The ceiling limitation is equal to the sum of the
present value discounted at 10% of estimated future net cash flows from proved
reserves, the cost of properties not being amortized, the lower of cost or
estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being
amortized, and all related tax effects. At December 31, 2013, the calculated
value of the ceiling limitation exceeded the carrying value of the Company's oil
and gas properties subject to the test, and no impairment was necessary.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Management capitalizes additions to property and equipment. Expenditures for
repairs and maintenance are charged to expense. Property and equipment are
carried at cost. Adjustment of the asset and the related accumulated
depreciation accounts are made for property and equipment retirements and
disposals, with the resulting gain or loss included in the statement of
operations. The Company has not capitalized any internal costs for the year
ended December 31, 2013 and for the period March 28, 2012 (inception) through
December 31, 2012.
Other property and equipment, such as office furniture and equipment, and
computer hardware and software, are recorded at cost. Costs of renewals and
improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are
capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred.
DEPRECIATION
For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization of other
property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of assets at acquisition. For income tax reporting
purposes, depreciation of other equipment is computed using the straight-line
and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of assets at
acquisition.
Depreciation and depletion of capitalized acquisition, exploration and
development costs are computed on the units-of-production method by individual
fields on the basis of the total estimated units of proved reserves as the
related proved reserves are produced.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND
THE PERIOD OF MARCH 28, 2012 (INCEPTION) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2012
Depreciation and amortization of oil and gas property and other property and
equipment for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the period March 28, 2012
(inception) through December 31, 2012 is $64,589 and $449, respectively.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets, as set forth in Topic 360 of the ASC, the Company
assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its non-oil and gas
long-lived assets when events occur that indicate an impairment in value may
exist. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted
future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. If this
occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. No events
occurred during the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the period March 28,
2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012 that would be indicative of possible
impairment.
OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company has no material components of other comprehensive loss and
accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss for the period.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for share-based payment accruals under authoritative
guidance on stock compensation as set forth in the Topics of the ASC. The
guidance requires all share-based payments to employees and non-employees,
including grants of employee and non-employee stock options, to be recognized in
the financial statements based on their fair values.
GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENTS' PLANS
As shown in the accompanying financial statements for the period ended December
31, 2013, the Company has reported an accumulated deficit of $2,508,492. At
December 31, 2013, the Company has current assets of $518,186, including cash
and cash equivalents of $121,174 and current liabilities of $2,929,355 but has
acquired major proved oil and gas properties as described elsewhere in this
Annual Report.
To the extent the Company's operations are not sufficient to fund the Company's
capital and current growth requirements the Company will attempt to raise
capital through the sale of additional shares of stock. At the present time, the
Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to raise funds through the
further issuance of equity in the Company.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern, however, the above conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to do so. The financial statements
do not include any adjustment to reflect the possible future effect on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications
of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a
going concern.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has reviewed all recently issued but not yet effective accounting
pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such
pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial
condition or results of operations.

NOTE 11 - SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
----------------------------------------------
In September 2013, the Company commenced a private offering of $2,000,000 of
Secured Convertible Promissory Notes in order to complete the purchase of the
remaining 37.5% working interest in the Five Jab properties discussed in Note 1.
These promissory notes are due in September 2014 including interest at the rate
of 10% per annum on the unpaid balance and are convertible into shares of the
Company's common stock in whole or in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per
share 6 months after issuance of the promissory note. One of the subscribers of
this offering was Tincup Oil and Gas, LLC, which subscribed for a $250,000
promissory note. A director of the Company is a member of Tincup Oil and Gas,
LLC. The offering was not fully subscribed for and therefore at December 31,
2013 the Company owes $1,475,000 plus accrued interest in the amount of $28,205.
Separately and apart, an officer and director of the Company, agreed to make up
the difference of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note Offering towards the
purchase price of the Five Jab properties in a separate transaction under
separate terms with the Company. The officer and director in exchange for
secured convertible promissory notes provided the Company each with $300,000 in
cash or a total of $600,000. Their promissory notes have a due date of January
2, 2014 including interest at the rate of 10% per annum on the unpaid balance
and allow for the conversion of the promissory notes at issuance into common
stock in whole or in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per share. The
promissory notes provide that in addition to having a due date of January 2,
2014, that at the due date they will each receive a $7,500 payment of fees. If
payments are not made on the promissory notes at January 2, 2014, the Company is
required to take immediate steps to liquidate the Five Jab properties and the
due date will be extended to April 2, 2014. At January 2, 2014, the Company
failed to make payment on the notes. At that time Mr. Pollard and Ranew each
entered into an Extension and Waiver with the Company. The Extension and Waiver
provides that the payment date shall be extended to April 2, 2014 and both
holders have waived the provision that steps be taken to liquidate the secured
property at this time. If payment is made at April 2, 2014, they will each
receive a $15,000 payment of fees. On April 7, 2014, Mr. Pollard and the Company
entered into an Extension and Waiver with the Company and extended the maturity
date of the promissory note to May 2, 2014. If the property has not been
liquidated at such date, Mr. Pollard will be assigned a 5.625% working interest
in the Five Jab properties. On March 31, 2014, Mr. Ranew purchased a warrant in
consideration for and cancellation of his $300,000 promissory note. At December
31, 2013, the Company owes $600,000 plus accrued interest in the amount of
$22,808. See Note 16 - Subsequent Events.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, these promissory notes with their
conversion right had an aggregate total intrinsic fair value of $390 and the
Company did not record any expense for 2013 in the statement of operations since
management considered such amount immaterial.

INFORMATION REGARDING PROVED OIL AND GAS RESERVES
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved
crude oil and natural gas reserves. Crude oil and natural gas reserve
engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of
crude oil and natural gas that cannot be precisely measured. The accuracy of any
reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of
engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling,
testing and production subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify
F-19

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND
THE PERIOD OF MARCH 28, 2012 (INCEPTION) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2012
revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserves estimates are often different
from the quantities of crude oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by
analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable
certainty to be economically producible - from a given date forward, from known
reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and
government regulations - prior to the time at which contracts providing the
right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably
certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used
for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced
or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project
within a reasonable time.
The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes all of the following:
(a) the area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and
(b) adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable
certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically
producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.
In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are
limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons as seen in a well penetration unless
geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish a
lower contact with reasonable certainty.
Reserves that can be produced economically through application of improved
recovery techniques (including but not limited to, fluid injection) are included
in the proved classification when both of the following occur: (a) successful
testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more
favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed
program in the reservoir of an analogous reservoir, or other evidence of
reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering
analysis on which the project or program was based, and (b) the project has been
approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including
governmental entities.
Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic
productivity from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the
average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period
covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the
first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices
are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future
conditions.
Proved developed oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that can be expected
to be recovered: (i) through existing wells with existing equipment and
operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively
minor compared to the costs of a new well; and (ii) through installed extraction
equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserve estimate if
the extraction is by means not involving a well.
Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that are expected to
be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a
relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled
acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas
that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using
reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic
productivity at greater distances. Undrilled locations can be classified as
having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted
indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the
specific circumstances, justify a longer time. Under no circumstances shall
estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an
application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is
contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual
projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or by other evidence
using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.
"Prepared" reserves are those quantities of reserves which were prepared by an
independent petroleum consultant. "Audited" reserves are those quantities of

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
---------------------------------------------------
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in
understanding of the Business's financial statements. The policies conform to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION
Five Jab Inc., an operator of oil and gas properties, and a number of other
owners own 75% of the working interest in certain leases located in the states
of Texas and Louisiana (the "Business" or Five Jab Inc."). These leases are
proved leaseholds only and include 11 producing crude oil wells and one well
that also produced natural gas (the "Properties"). In addition, all of the wells
were purchased by the Business and therefore there are no drilling costs
incurred by the Business
The Business sold 100% of its 75% working interest in the Properties to Three
Forks Inc. effective June 30, 2013 (37.5% WI) and effective September 1, 2013
(37.5% WI) for $3,842,143 in cash plus the assumption of certain liabilities in
the amount of $281,962.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These financial statements represent the historical costs of the Business based
upon generally accepted accounting principles for the periods presented.
INCOME TAXES
The Business is taxed as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes and as
such each of the owners report separately their pro rata share of income,
deductions and losses. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is made in the
accompanying financial statements.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as of and during the reporting
periods. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best
estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an
ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the
current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under
the circumstances. Such estimates and assumptions are adjusted when facts and
circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined
with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any change in
estimates resulting from continuous changes in the economic environment will be
reflected in the financial statements in the future periods.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues are recognized on production as it is taken and delivered to the
purchasers.

FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 2013 THRU SEPTEMBER 1, 2013 (TERMINATION)
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
The Business accounts for its crude oil and natural gas exploration and
development activities under the successful efforts method of accounting.
However, the accompanying financial statements are prepared using the full cost
method of accounting and the Company intends to continue using the full cost
method of accounting for the Properties. The Company has determined there is no
material difference between the full cost method of accounting and the
successful efforts method of accounting as it relates to the Properties as the
Business acquired the Properties when they were considered proved and the
Business incurred only completion and workover costs after the Business acquired
the Properties. Under the full cost method all productive and nonproductive
costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration, and development
of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized. No gains or losses are
recognized upon the sale or other disposition of oil and natural gas properties
except in transactions that would significantly alter the relationship between
capitalized costs and proved reserves. The costs of unevaluated oil and natural
gas properties are excluded from the amortizable base until the time that either
proven reserves are found or it has been determined that such properties are
impaired. As properties become evaluated, the related costs transfer to proved
oil and natural gas properties using full cost accounting.
Depletion and amortization of capitalized acquisition, exploration and
development costs are computed on the units-of-production method by property on
the basis of the total estimated units of proved reserves as the related proved
reserves are produced. The long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the
carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an
impairment charged is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of
the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment was recognized at

NOTE 5 - SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS RESERVE INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved
crude oil and natural gas reserves. Crude oil and natural gas reserve
engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of
crude oil and natural gas that cannot be precisely measured. The accuracy of any
reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of
engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling,
testing and production subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify
revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserves estimates are often different
from the quantities of crude oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012
AND
FOR THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 2013 THRU SEPTEMBER 1, 2013 (TERMINATION)
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by
analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable
certainty to be economically producible - from a given date forward, from known
reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and
government regulations - prior to the time at which contracts providing the
right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably
certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used
for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced
or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project
within a reasonable time.
The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes all of the following:
(a) the area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and
(b) adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable
certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically
producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.
In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are
limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons as seen in a well penetration unless
geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish a
lower contact with reasonable certainty.
Reserves that can be produced economically through application of improved
recovery techniques (including but not limited to, fluid injection) are included
in the proved classification when both of the following occur: (a) successful
testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more
favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed
program in the reservoir of an analogous reservoir, or other evidence of
reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering
analysis on which the project or program was based, and (b) the project has been
approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including
governmental entities.
Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic
productivity from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the
average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period
covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the
first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices
are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future
conditions.
Proved developed oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that can be expected
to be recovered: (i) through existing wells with existing equipment and
operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively
minor compared to the costs of a new well; and (ii) through installed extraction
equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserve estimate if
the extraction is by means not involving a well.
Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that are expected to
be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a
relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled
acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas
that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using
reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic
productivity at greater distances. Undrilled locations can be classified as
having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted
indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the
specific circumstances, justify a longer time. Under no circumstances shall
estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an
application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is
contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual
projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or by other evidence
using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.
"Prepared" reserves are those quantities of reserves which were prepared by an
independent petroleum consultant. "Audited" reserves are those quantities of
revenues which were estimated by the Company's employees and audited by an
independent petroleum consultant. An audit is an examination of a company's
proved oil and gas reserves and net cash flow by an independent petroleum
consultant that is conducted for the purpose of expressing an opinion as to
whether such estimates, in aggregate, are reasonable and have been determined
using methods and procedures widely accepted within the industry and in
accordance with SEC rules.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
--------------------------------
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Securities Exchange Act Rule 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act, is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required
under the SEC's rules and forms and that the information is gathered and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (Principal
Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as
appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by SEC Rule 15d-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and President,
Mr. Nichols and Mr. Pollard, respective, (the Company does not have a CFO and
Mr. Nichols currently serves as the principal accounting officer) carried out an
evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15d-14 as of the end of the period
covered by this report. Based on the foregoing evaluation, Mr. Nichols and
Pollard have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective
in timely alerting management to material information required to be included in
our periodic SEC filings and to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in our periodic SEC filings is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and President, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management, consisting of Mr. Nichols, our Chief Executive Officer and our
Principal Accounting Officer and Mr. Pollard our President and Chief Operating
Officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting, as
defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), is a process designed by,
or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial
officers and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel,
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, based on criteria established in
Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission and includes those policies and
procedures that:
- Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
- Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and
directors; and
- Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use of disposition of our assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements.
-42-
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems,
no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with
respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2013. Based on this assessment, management believes
that as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting is
effective based on those criteria.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the company's
registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC to
provide only management's report in this annual report.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no changes during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

Mr. Ranew was appointed to the Board of Director due to his experience in not
only management but also for his experience in the oil and gas equipment.
Mr. Ranew resigned as a director of the Company on June 30, 2014.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")
requires that the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more
than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, file
reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are
required by regulation to furnish to the Company copies of all Section 16(s)
forms they file.
The following persons failed to file forms during the past two fiscal years as
required under Section 16(a) as follows: None
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - GENERAL.
Our directors and officers are, or may become, in their individual capacities,
officers, directors, controlling shareholder and/or partners of other entities
engaged in a variety of businesses. Thus, there exist potential conflicts of
interest including, among other things, time, efforts and corporation
opportunity, involved in participation with such other business entities.
-48-
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES
Certain of our officers and directors may be directors and/or principal
stockholders of other companies and, therefore, could face conflicts of interest
with respect to potential acquisitions. In addition, our officers and directors
may in the future participate in business ventures, which could be deemed to
compete directly with us. Additional conflicts of interest and non-arms length
transactions may also arise in the future in the event our officers or directors
are involved in the management of any firm with which we transact business. Our
Board of Directors has adopted a policy that we will not seek a merger with, or
acquisition of, any entity in which management serve as officers or directors,
or in which they or their family members own or hold a controlling ownership
interest. Although the Board of Directors could elect to change this policy, the
Board of Directors has no present intention to do so. In addition, if we and
other companies with which our officers and directors are affiliated both desire
to take advantage of a potential business opportunity, then the Board of
Directors has agreed that said opportunity should be available to each such
company in the order in which such companies registered or became current in the
filing of annual reports under the Exchange Act subsequent to January 1, 2013.
Our officers and directors may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the
purchase of a portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in connection
with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. It is anticipated that a
substantial premium over the initial cost of such shares may be paid by the
purchaser in conjunction with any sale of shares by our officers and directors
which is made as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or
acquisition transaction. The fact that a substantial premium may be paid to our
officers and directors to acquire their shares creates a potential conflict of
interest for them in satisfying their fiduciary duties to us and our other
stockholders. Even though such a sale could result in a substantial profit to
them, they would be legally required to make the decision based upon the best
interests of us and our other stockholders, rather than their own personal
pecuniary benefit.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
We are managed under the direction of our board of directors.
The board of directors has no nominating, auditing committee or a compensation
committee. Therefore, the selection of person or election to the board of
directors was neither independently made nor negotiated at arm's length.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
The members of the Board of Directors serve as our executive committee.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The members of the Board of Directors serve as our audit committee and as such
our audit committee is not considered to have independent members or to be
independent.
PREVIOUS "BLANK CHECK" OR "SHELL" COMPANY INVOLVEMENT
Mr. Nichols, the Chairman of our Board has been involved in prior "shell"
companies - Gulfstar Energy Corporation and General Environmental Corporation.
No other members of our management have been involved in private "blank-check"
or "shell" companies.
CODE OF ETHICS
A code of ethics relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to
deter wrongdoing and to promote;
-49-
- Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or
apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional
relationships;
- Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and
documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the SEC and in other public
communications made by an issuer;
- Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
- The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate
person or persons identified in the code; and
- Accountability for adherence to the code.
Due to the limited scope of our current operations, we have not adopted a
corporate code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer,
principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions.

All of our officers and/or directors will continue to be active in other

interests of the officers and directors may conflict with our interests. Such
conflicts could include determining what portion of their working time will be
spent on our business and what portion on other business interest. To the best
ability and in the best judgment of our officers and directors, any conflicts of
interest between us and the personal interests of our officers and directors
will be resolved in a fair manner which will protect our interests. Any
transactions between us and entities affiliated with our officers and directors
will be on terms which are fair and equitable to us. Our Board of Directors
intends to continually review all corporate opportunities to further attempt to
safeguard against conflicts of interest between their business interests and our

person or business opportunity from any affiliate or any client of any such
person.
Directors receive no compensation for serving.
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
We are a Colorado corporation. The Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS) provides that
the articles of incorporation of a Colorado corporation may contain a provision
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation
or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except that any such provision may not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the corporation or our stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) acts
specified in Section 78 (concerning unlawful distributions), or (iv) any
transaction from which a director directly or indirectly derived an improper
personal benefit. Our articles of incorporation contain a provision eliminating
the personal liability of directors to our company' or our stockholders for
monetary damages to the fullest extent provided by the CRS.
The CRS provides that a Colorado corporation must indemnify a person who was
wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any threatened,
pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal (a
"Proceeding"), in which he or she was a party because the person is or was a
director, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection with
-54-
the Proceeding, unless such indemnity is limited by the corporation's articles
of incorporation. Our articles of incorporation do not contain any such
limitation.
The CRS provides that a Colorado corporation may indemnify a person made a party
to a Proceeding because the person is or was a director against any obligation
incurred with respect to a Proceeding to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty,
fine (including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan)
or reasonable expenses incurred in the Proceeding if the person conducted
himself or herself in good faith and the person reasonably believed, in the case
of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that the person's
conduct was in the corporation's best interests and, in all other cases, his or
her conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests and,
with respect to any criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to
believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Our articles of incorporation and
bylaws allow for such indemnification. A corporation may not indemnify a
director in connection with any Proceeding by or in the right of the corporation
in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or, in connection
with any other Proceeding charging that the director derived an improper
personal benefit, whether or not involving actions in an official capacity, in
which Proceeding the director was judged liable on the basis that he or she
derived an improper personal benefit. Any indemnification permitted in
connection with a Proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such Proceeding.
The CRS, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, a Colorado
corporation may indemnify an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the
corporation to the same extent as a director and may indemnify such a person who
is not a director to a greater extent, if not inconsistent with public policy
and if provided for by our bylaws, general or specific action of our board of
directors or stockholders, or contract. Our articles of incorporation provide
for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries and
agents to the full extent permitted by Colorado law.
Our articles of incorporation also provide that we may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of our
company or who is or was serving at our request as a director, officer or agent
of another enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and
incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status
as such, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify him or her against
such liability.
EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION
KEY EMPLOYEES STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
Effective May 1, 2013, our Stock Option and Award Plan (the "Stock Incentive
Plan") was approved by our Board of Directors. Under the Stock Incentive Plan,
the Board of Directors may grant options or purchase rights to purchase common
stock to officers, employees, and other persons who provide services to us or
any related company. The participants to whom awards are granted, the type of
awards granted, the number of shares covered for each award, and the purchase or
exercise price, conditions and other terms of each award are determined by the
Board of Directors, except that the term of the options shall not exceed 10
years. A total of 5 million shares of our common stock are subject to the Stock
Incentive Plan and maybe either a qualified or non-qualified stock option. The

cash and stock in September 2012. The transaction closed and 700,000 shares
of the Company are held by the shareholders of Gulfstar. Gulfstar is in a

of such registration has not been established at the time of this filing.
Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 governs the determination
of beneficial ownership of securities. That rule provides that a beneficial
owner of a security includes any person who directly or indirectly has or shares
voting power and/or investment power with respect to such security. Rule 13d-3
also provides that a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who has
the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within sixty days,
including through the exercise of any option, warrant or conversion of a
security. Any securities not outstanding which are subject to such options,
warrants or conversion privileges are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose
of computing the percentage of outstanding securities of the class owned by such
person. Those securities are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of
computing the percentage of the class owned by any other person. Included in
this table are only those derivative securities with exercise prices that we
believe have a reasonable likelihood of being "in the money" within the next
sixty days.

Archer County Texas subject to the Farmout. In consideration of Three Forks No.
1 undertaking and paying it's pro rata portion of the costs associated with the
drilling and completion of 9 wells in Archer county Texas on the Farmout
property, we assigned 87% of the working interest in the Farmout to the LLC.
Likewise, on January 1, 2013, we assigned 1% of the WI to each Messrs. Young and
Nichols, officers and directors of the Company, (a total of 2% of the WI) in the
Farmout. These WIs' were assigned the proportional cash payment of 2% of the
project costs.
Mr. Lester Ranew, a former director of the Company, purchase 6 Units in the
Three Forks No. 1, representing 5.41% equity interest in Three Forks No. 1.
ACCRUED LIABILITIES - RELATED PARTY
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company was advanced funds from Mr.
Ranew, who is also a member of Tin Cup LLC and at December 31, 2013 the Company
-60-
owes $209,520. In addition, during the year 2013, the Company was advanced funds
from Three Forks No 1 LLC and at December 31, 2013 owes $2,685.
At December 31, 2012, we owed an affiliate of one of our former officer and
director a total of $15,000 in fees for services rendered.
SHARES FOR SERVICES
During the year ended December 31, 2013, Mr. Dragul and Mr. Panigrahi a member
of the Board of Directors and a former member, respectively were issued 25,000
and 175,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for services in the amount of
$17,600 or at a fair value of $0.088 per share.
In March 2012, the Company issued 5,325,000 shares of its common stock to its
members of the Board of Directors and officers in exchange for services in the
amount of $5,325 or at a fair value of $0.001 per share.
SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
In September 2013, we commenced a private offering of $2,000,000 Secured
Convertible Promissory Notes in order to complete the purchase of the remaining
37.5% WI in the Five JABS property discussed above. These notes are due in
September 2014 and are convertible into shares of our common stock in whole or
in part at a conversion price of $3.60 per share 6 months after issuance of the
secured convertible promissory note. The conversion of the convertible
promissory notes into shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to
the holdings of our existing shareholders. The Secured Convertible Promissory
Notes are secured by the Company's 75% of the right, title and working interest
in 1,955 gross leasehold acres including 13 producing wells, 9 service wells and
14 additional wellbores located in the States of Texas and Louisiana, the Five
JABS properties. The offering was not fully subscribed and a total of $1,535,000
was raised. Tincup Oil and Gas, LLC of which Mr. Ranew, a former director of the
Company, is a member, holds a Secured Convertible Promissory Note for $250,000.
At December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $1,475,000 in outstanding
secured convertible promissory notes.
On March 31, 2014, holders of the above promissory notes purchased 1,390,000
warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and cancellation of their
promissory notes issued to them by the Company in the amount of $1,390,000. A
warrant entitles the holder for a term of two years to purchase one share of
common stock of the Company at the rate of $1.00 per share. Therefore, as of
March 31, 2014, the Company issued 1,390,000 warrants to holders of the
promissory notes in cancellation of $1,390,000 in debt.
Separately and apart, two members of management agreed to make up the difference
of the Secured Convertible Promissory Note Offering and the purchase price of
Five JABS in a separate transaction with separate terms with the Company. Mr.
Charles Pollard, a director and former President and COO and Mr. Lester Ranew, a
former director of the Company, in exchange for secured convertible promissory
notes provided the Company with a total of $600,000 cash ($300,000 each). At
December 31, 2013, the Company owes a total of $600,000 to Mr. Pollard and Mr.
Ranew.
Mr. Pollard's and Mr. Ranew's notes have a due date of January 2, 2014 and allow
for the conversion of the notes into common stock upon issuance. Their notes
provide that in addition to having a due date of January 2, 2014, that at the
due date they will each receive a $7,500 payment of fees and interest. If the
notes are not paid at January 2, 2014, the Company is required to take immediate
-64-
steps to liquidate the secured property and the due date will be extended to
April 2, 2014. At January 2, 2014, the Company failed to make payment on the
notes. At that time Mr. Pollard and Ranew each entered into an Extension and
Waiver with the Company. The Extension and Waiver provides that the payment date
shall be extended to April 2, 2014 and both holders have waived the provision
that steps be taken to liquidate the secured property at this time. On April 7,
2014, Mr. Pollard extended the payment date on his note to May 2, 2014 and if
the payment is not made or the property has not been liquidated then he will be
assigned a 5.625% interest in the Five JABS properties. On March 31, 2014, Mr.
Ranew purchased 300,000 warrants issued by the Company in consideration for and
cancellation of his promissory note issued to him by the Company in the amount
of $300,000.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Our board of directors undertook its annual review of the independence of the
directors and considered whether any director had a material relationship with
us or our management that could compromise his ability to exercise independent
judgment in carrying out his responsibilities. As a result of this review, the
board of directors affirmatively determined that Messrs. Dragul and Young are
"independent" as such term is used under the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Mr. Nichols, as Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer of the Company, Mr. Manning as President and Chief
Operating Officer and Mr. Pollard as director and as a shareholder and a Secured
Debt holder, are not considered to be "independent."
