Item 1. Business
 
General
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 13, 2007. The Company was in the development stage of its business through fiscal 2010 when it abandoned its previous business of providing consulting services to private and public entities seeking assessment, development, and implementation of energy generating solutions. Effective fiscal 2011, we changed our planned business activities to the exploration and development of precious metal properties.  As part of our business strategy, we acquired another business, Axiom de Mexico S.A. de C.V. (“Axiom Mexico”). On May 31, 2012, we sold all of our interest in Axiom Mexico to an unrelated third party for $100 releasing us from any liabilities in Axiom Mexico.  In August 2012, we acquired additional mineral properties and planned to explore those properties in 2013.  We were unable to raise the required funds to explore our mineral properties and in February 2013 we dropped those mineral claims.  Subsequent to the year ended August 31, 2013, we effected a 1:25 reverse spilt on our common stock and changed our name to Axiom Oil and Gas Corp.  It is our intention to refocus our efforts on acquiring and developing oil and gas assets. On March 18, 2014, we entered into a Lease Purchase Agreement with Alberta Oil and Gas LP (“LP”) to purchase its interest in certain leases.  On October 14, 2014, we finalized a Lease Purchase Agreement with Alberta Oil and Gas LP whereby we purchased certain oil and gas leases and the leasehold estates created thereby located in Toole County, Montana totaling 14,916.94 gross acres, 6,170.76 net acres which includes a 23.1% working interest in two oil and gas wells drilled on the leases and a 50% interest in two producing gas wells on the leases (the “Leases”).  The purchase price for the Leases was $2,919,211 ($3,269,076 CDN), of which $44,600 ($50,000 CDN) is to be paid in cash from future cash flow or from future financing, $1,339,470 ($1,500,000 CDN) in the form of the assumption of a note secured against the Leases (of which $1,265,100 ($1,416,717 CDN) remains owing) and the remainder in the form of 6,997,876 shares of our common stock valued at $0.23 per share, approximately $1,610,000.

Tanglewood Energy LLC had a part ownership position in some of the leases we own. We believe that it has forfeited its positions, and the gross acreage and net acreages reported above includes acreage that we believe that Tanglewood Energy LLC forfeited and that American Midwest Oil and Gas (a former operator) registered as defaulted in the court registry in Shelby, Montana.  For a more complete description of Tanglewood Energy LLC and our position on the defaults and forfeitures, please see “Description of Business – Legal Proceedings” and “Risk Factors – Risk Associated with Our Business”.  Some of our leases are shared 50% with Tanglewood Energy LLC who is insolvent and as such has defaulted on its obligations to maintain its interests in the shared leases below. If the forfeitures were to be challenged and proven not to have occurred, our net mineral acreage would be reduced by 1,735.53 acres.

This is a related party transaction as one of our directors and largest shareholders, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer are affiliates of Alberta Oil and Gas LP.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Toole Oil and Gas Corp. is the registered owner of our interest in the leases.

Our plan of operation is forward looking, and we may not be successful in our operations.
 
We are in the exploration stage and will continue to be in the exploration stage until we generate significant revenue from our business operations. To date, we have not generated any revenues. We maintain our statutory registered agent's office at 2360 Corporate Circle, Suite 400, Henderson,  NV 89074-7722. Our administrative office is located at 1846 E. Innovation Park Dr., Oro Valley, AZ 85755. Our telephone number is (303) 872-7814.

Our Prior Strategy
 
Originally, our business was to concentrate on providing consulting services to private and public entities seeking assessment, development, and implementation of energy generating solutions. We have abandoned this strategy.  We then changed our strategy to explore for precious metal properties.  On January 13, 2012, we completed our acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Axiom Mexico whereby through our wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Axiom Acquisition Corp, acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Axiom Mexico, by the issuance of eighty thousand (80,000) of our common shares.  The surviving company was Axiom de Mexico S.A. de C.V., which was our wholly owned Mexican corporation that had options on two mineral concessions in Sonora State, Mexico.  On May 31, 2012, we sold all of our interest in Axiom Mexico to an unrelated third party for $100 releasing us from any liabilities in Axiom Mexico.  In August 2012, we acquired the 13 Fico claims in the Yukon Territory of Canada.  In February 2013 we abandoned the 13 Fico claims. We have abandoned this strategy as well.
 
Our Current Strategy:

We changed the focus of our Company to the exploration and development of oil and gas leases, mainly in the United States of America.  On October 12, 2013 we changed our name to Axiom Oil and Gas Corp.  On March 18, 2014, we entered into a Lease Purchase Agreement with Alberta Oil and Gas LP (“LP”) to purchase its interest in the Leases.  On October 14, 2014, we finalized a Lease Purchase Agreement with Alberta Oil and Gas LP whereby we purchased certain oil and gas leases and the leasehold estates created thereby located in Toole County, Montana totaling 14,916.94 gross acres, 6,170.76 net acres which includes a 23.1% working interest in two oil and gas wells drilled on the leases and a 50% interest in two producing gas wells on the leases.  The purchase price for the leases was $2,919,211 ($3,269,076 CDN), of which $44,600 ($50,000 CDN) is to be paid in cash from future cash flow or from future financing, $1,339,470 ($1,500,000 CDN) is in the form of the assumption of a note secured against the leases (of which $1,265,100 ($1,416,717 CDN) remains owing) and the remainder was paid in the form of 6,997,876 shares of our common stock valued at $0.23 per share.

Tanglewood Energy LLC had a part ownership position in some of the leases we own. We believe that it has forfeited its positions, and the gross acreage and net acreages reported above includes acreage that we believe Tanglewood Energy LLC forfeited and that American Midwest Oil and Gas, Corp. (a former operator) registered as defaulted in the court registry in Shelby, Montana.  For a more complete description of Tanglewood Energy LLC and our position on the defaults and forfeitures, please see “Description of Business – Legal Proceedings” and “Risk Factors – Risk Associated with Our Business”.  Some of our leases are owned 50% by Tanglewood Energy LLC who is insolvent and as such has defaulted on its obligations to maintain its interests in the leases below. If the forfeitures were to be challenged and proven not to have occurred, our net mineral acreage would be reduced by 1,735.53 acres.

This is a related party transaction as one of our directors and largest shareholders, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer are affiliates of Alberta Oil and Gas LP.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Toole Oil and Gas Corp. is the registered owner of our interest in the leases.

Glossary of Terms:

Abandon: (1) The proper plugging and abandoning of a well in compliance with all applicable regulations, and the cleaning up of the well site to the satisfaction of any governmental body having jurisdiction and to the reasonable satisfaction of the operator.  (2) To cease efforts to find or produce from a well or field.  (3) To plug a well completion and salvage material and equipment.

Acreage:  An area, measured in acres, which is subject to ownership or control by those holding total or fractional shares of working interests. Acreage is considered developed when development has been completed. A distinction may be made between “gross” acreage and “net” acreage.  “Gross Acreage” means all Acreage covered by any working interest, regardless of the percentage of ownership in the interest.

AECO: The AECO “C” spot price, which is the Alberta gas trading price, has become one of North America’s leading price-setting benchmarks for natural gas. 

AFE:  Authority or authorization for expenditure.  A cost estimate of doing something.  The AFE of drilling a well is estimated both as a dry hole and as a completed well.

Anhydrite: A salt mineral composed of anhydrous calcium sulfate (CaSO4).

Average BOPD per year for first year: The measure of oil output, represented by the number of barrels of oil produced per day, on average per Well, during the First Year Revenue Period.

Barrel:  A unit of volume measurement used for petroleum and its products (~42 U.S. gallons).

Barrel of Oil Equivalent or BOE: A unit of energy based on the approximate energy released by burning one barrel (~42 U.S. gallons) of crude oil.

BOPD: Barrels of Oil Per Day

Borehole: The hole as drilled by the drill bit.

Casing: Steel pipe cemented in the borehole to seal off formation fluids or keep the hole from caving in.

Commercial Well: A well that produces hydrocarbons in commercial quantities (i.e., enough to commence sales to an oil refinery and/or gas pipeline carrier in a profitable way or method).

Completion: The installation of permanent wellhead equipment for the production of oil and gas.

°API Gravity (degree API gravity):  A measure of the density of a liquid or a gas.  Freshwater is 10.  Average weight oil is 25 to 35, heavy oil is below 25, light oil is 35 to 45 and condensate is above 45 °API gravity.

Dolostone: Or dolomite rock, is a sedimentary carbonate rock that contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite.  It forms from the natural chemical alteration of limestone and is often a reservoir rock.

Dry Hole or Non-commercial Well: A well that does not produce hydrocarbons in Commercial Well quantities.

EUR: Estimated Ultimate Recovery; that is, the number of barrels of oil that may be produced during the life span of a well.

Exploration Drilling: Drilling carried out to determine whether hydrocarbons are present in a particular area or structure.

Exploration phase: The phase of operations which covers the search for oil or gas by carrying out detailed geological and geophysical surveys followed up where appropriate by exploratory drilling.

Exploration well: A well drilled in an unproven area. Also known as a "wildcat well".

Farm In: When a company acquires an interest in a block by taking over all or part of the financial commitment for drilling an exploration well.

Field: A geographical area under which an oil or gas reservoir lies.

40 Acre Spacing: Area of land containing 1 oil well, generally regulated by State regulations.

Fracking or Hydraulic Fracturing: The fracturing of rock by a pressurized liquid. Some hydraulic fractures form naturally—certain veins or dikes are examples. Induced hydraulic fracturing or hydrofracturing, commonly known as fracking, is a technique in which typically water is mixed with sand and chemicals, and the mixture is injected at high pressure into a wellbore to create small fractures (typically less than 3/8th inches), along which fluids such as gas, petroleum, and brine water may migrate to the well. Hydraulic pressure is removed from the well. Then, small grains of proppant (sand or aluminum oxide) hold these fractures open once the rock achieves equilibrium.

Gas Field: A field containing natural gas but no oil.

Gas Injection: The process whereby separated associated gas is pumped back into a reservoir for conservation purposes or to maintain the reservoir pressure.

Gross Acreage: All Acreage covered by any working interest, regardless of the percentage of ownership in the interest.

HBP: Held by production.  Term referring to the ownership of leases that no longer need rental payments as the lease has producing oil and/or gas wells and therefore the mineral rights owner receives royalty payments from production.  Typically, the leases are held by production until the well no longer produces commercial hydrocarbons and is abandoned.

Horizontal Drilling: A well that is drilled vertically into the oil bearing zone and then turned and drilled horizontally along the zone.  The horizontal wellbores allow for far greater exposure to a formation than a conventional vertical wellbore. This is particularly useful in shale formations which do not have sufficient permeability to produce economically with a vertical well. Such wells when drilled onshore are now usually hydraulically fractured in a number of stages, especially in North America. The type of wellbore completion used will affect how many times the formation is fractured, and at what locations along the horizontal section of the wellbore.

Hydrocarbon: A compound containing only the elements hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons may exist as a solid, a liquid or a gas. The term is mainly used in a catch-all sense for oil, gas and condensate.

Initial Production or IP: The rate at which a well commences initial producing hydrocarbons in Commercial Well quantities.

Lease: The right granted by a landowner to the Company to extract minerals, specifically oil and/or natural gas, from the mineral estate. A lease is a legal document or contract between a landowner (lessor) and a company or individual (lessee) granting exploration and development rights to subsurface oil and gas deposits.

Mud: A mixture of base substance and additives used to lubricate the drill bit and to counteract the natural pressure of the formation allowing the drill bit to drill down into the earth.

Natural Gas: Mainly Methane Gas but also other flammable gases, occurring naturally and often found in association with crude petroleum.

Net Acreage: Also known as Net Mineral Acres.  Net Acreage is Gross Acreage adjusted to reflect the percentage of ownership in the working interest in the Acreage.

Oil: A mixture of liquid hydrocarbons of different molecular weights.

Oil Field: A geographic area under which an oil reservoir lies.

Operator: The company that has legal authority to drill wells and undertake the production of hydrocarbons that are found. The Operator is often part of a consortium and acts on behalf of this consortium.

Paleostructure:  The geologic structure of a region or sequence of rocks in the geologic past.

Permeability: The property of a formation which quantifies the flow of a fluid through the pore spaces and into the wellbore.

Petroleum: A generic name for hydrocarbons, including crude oil, natural gas liquids, natural gas and their products.

Plug and Abandon (P&A): The final state in any well.  Permission to plug and abandon is granted by a government agency and done to specific requirements. A surface cement plug is placed at the surface and cement plugs are placed at specific depths in the well to prevent any pollution.  A steel plate is welded to the top of the casing and covered with dirt.

Porosity: The percentage of void in a porous rock compared to the solid formation.

Possible Reserves: Those reserves which at present cannot be regarded as ‘probable’ but are estimated to have a significant but less than 50% chance of being technically and economically producible.

Primary Recovery: Recovery of oil or gas from a reservoir purely by using the natural pressure in the reservoir to force the oil or gas out.

Probable Reserves: Those reserves which are not yet proven but which are estimated to have a better than 50% chance of being technically and economically producible.

Proven Field: An oil and/or gas field whose physical extent and estimated reserves have been determined.
 
Proven Reserves: Those reserves which on the available evidence are virtually certain to be technically and economically producible (i.e. having a better than 90% chance of being produced).

Recoverable Reserves: That proportion of the oil and/gas in a reservoir that can be removed using currently available techniques.

Reserves: Barrels of Oil per Field. It is calculated by multiplying the Lifespan Average BOPD per well by the number of Wells per Field.

Reservoir: The underground formation where oil and gas has accumulated. It consists of a porous rock to hold the oil or gas, and a cap rock that prevents its escape.

Reservoir Rock: A rock that has porosity and permeability.  It can hold and transmit fluids.  The most common reservoir rocks are sandstones, limestones and dolomites.

Royalty Payment: The cash or kind paid to the owner of mineral rights from the production of hydrocarbons.

Sabkha Environments: Sabkha environments are supratidal, forming along arid coastlines and are characterized by evaporite-carbonate deposits with some siliciclastics. Sabkhas form subaerial, prograding and shallowing-upward sequences

Secondary Recovery: Recovery of oil or gas from a reservoir by artificially maintaining or enhancing the reservoir pressure by injecting gas, water or other substances into the reservoir rock.

Shut In Well: A well which is capable of producing but is not presently producing. Reasons for a well being shut in may be lack of equipment, market or other.

Surface Location: The location of a well or facility/measurement point.


 
6

 


38 Degree API “Light” Oil: An arbitrary scale expressing the gravity or density of liquid petroleum products. The measuring scale is calibrated in terms of degrees API.  The higher the API gravity, the lighter the compound. Light crudes generally exceed 38 degrees API and heavy crudes are commonly labeled as all crudes with API gravity of 22 degrees or below. Intermediate crudes fall in the range of 22 degrees to 38 degrees API gravity.

3D Seismic Analysis: Similar to 2D, but uses a dense array of geophones to provide a much more detailed set of seismic information. 3D seismic information allows geologists to see a significantly more reliable view of the underground topography of an area. Denser data and improved computer processing ensures that subsurface features are correctly located and may indicate the presence of hydrocarbons, rather than merely the structural elements, which could possibly contain hydrocarbons. Time-Lapse 3D seismic (also known as 4D) is also used when needed to provide more data in mature fields to identify where new oil has not yet been tapped.

Top Lease:  Generally, a top lease grants rights if and when the current lease expires. In some cases, lease holders are paid a bonus before the current lease expires, in others, the company may prefer to pay the bonus after the current lease expires. 

Total Production: The cumulative Barrels of Oil or Barrels of Oil Equivalent a field produces during its Lifespan.

Vertical Drilling: The traditional method of completing an oil and gas well which is done by drilling vertically into the earth at a selected location.

Well Interest: The interest in a well held by the Company under the terms of a Lease.

Well Log Data or Well Logging or Drill Logging: The practice of making a detailed record (a well log) of the geologic formations penetrated by a borehole. The log may be based either on visual inspection of samples brought to the surface (geological logs) or on physical measurements made by instruments lowered into the hole (geophysical logs). Well Logging can be done during any phase of a well’s history; drilling, completing, producing and abandoning. Well Logging is performed in boreholes drilled for the oil and gas, groundwater, mineral and geothermal exploration, as well as part of environmental and geotechnical studies.

Wildcat Well: A well drilled in an unproven area. Also known as an exploration well.

Nisku Carbonate Project – Toole County Montana:

The oil and gas leases owned by us through Toole Oil and Gas Corp. our wholly owned subsidiary, are located in Toole County, in north central Montana, approximately 16 miles south of the Province of Alberta, Canada and U.S. border.  According to state production records, Montana, itself, is a prolific producer of oil and natural gas and we believe that Montana has state legislation that supports the oil and gas industry.  First year state tax rates on revenues generated by the sale of hydrocarbons are 0.8% in Montana.  The tax rate shifts to rates between 6.1% and 9.3%  in subsequent years, depending on the hydrocarbon being produced, the year in which wells were drilled and type of well.

Map showing location of the Kevin-Sunburst Dome where the leases are generally located.

The Kevin-Sunburst Dome is a geological structure in the area in Toole County and covers approximately 1,000 square miles and we believe has 850 feet of structural closure.  We believe that intense structural compression by the Montana Thrust Belt produced forces and fractures that dispersed the Bakken oil into many rock formations through-out the area.  State production records indicate that some formations are located up to a thousand feet above the Bakken zone (such as the Madison, Swift, Cutbank and Sunburst) and others are located only a few hundred feet below the Bakken (such as the Nisku and Duperow).  We believe that the Bakken zone oil migrated through many different rock layers and accumulated to form oil fields wherever the oil encountered porosity (the oil reservoir) and a seal (the oil trap). Geological interpretation by our consulting geologist from drilling in the area is that the Kevin-Sunburst Dome was the focal point for Bakken oil migration from the Southern Alberta Basin to the west.  According to state production records, the domal area has produced more than 320 million barrels of oil (MMBO) and 650 billion cubic feet of gas (BCFG) from the Devonian Nisku, Mississippian Madison, Jurassic Swift, Cretaceous Cutbank/Sunburst, and four other formations.  The primary formation we intend to target, assuming sufficient capital is raised for drilling, is the conventional Nisku carbonate formation.  In Toole County, the Nisku formation is found at a depth of approximately 3,000 to 3,200 feet.

Our leases are located on the eastern slope of the Kevin-Sunburst Dome near the producing fields called the East Kevin Field and the 9 Mile Field.  The East Kevin Field, according to state records, has been in production for approximately 29 years.  Generally, state records show that the oil produced from the Nisku formation is 38 degree API “light” oil.  The state records also show that the Nisku formation does not produce water.  Initially, assuming adequate capital is raised, we plan to drill simple vertical wells into the Nisku zone.  Drill logs from surrounding wells do not show any hazardous or complex drilling problems, though no assurance can be given that we would not encounter such problems.

General location of the leases held and the area covered by the 3D Seismic.

In the Kevin-Sunburst Dome there is multi-zone production from seven shallower formations.  If and when we drill on the leases, the drill hole has the potential to drill through these formations.  If such formations are indicated on the drill logs, we will have the opportunity, if commercial, to produce from these upper zones.  No assurance may be given that any of these zones contain commercial amounts of hydrocarbons.

Conceptual Cross section of Kevin-Sunburst Dome illustrating the different formations that have been identified.

Nisku deposition

State records and drill logs show that the Nisku Formation is about 60 to 70 feet thick across the Kevin-Sunburst Dome.  Scientific interpretation by our consulting geologist indicates that the formation was deposited as a shallowing-upward carbonate-evaporate sequence on top of marine limestones and shales of the Devonian Duperow Formation.  Fine-grained carbonates (wackestones) make up the bottom 20 to 30 feet of strata.  That zone is overlain by a 20-ft thick “Middle Layer” containing wave-dominated grainstone deposits that account for the primary Nisku porosity.  The Middle Layer grades into 10 to 15 feet of supratidal laminated dolostones and anhydrites, capped by a 12 foot anhydrite layer.  We believe that a Sabkha environment prevailed during the next few million years while an additional 150 feet of dolostones and anhydrites accumulated to form the overlying Potlatch Formation.

Nisku porosity and reservoir variability

The Nisku grainstone deposits formed on paleotopographic features (ancestral island shoals and beaches)  where wave action left behind the coarser carbonate sand and winnowed away the silt and mud.  Primary Nisku porosity developed in the 20-ft thick wave-dominated Middle Layer where skeletal grainstones are preserved.  We believe that soon after deposition, the entire Nisku formation was dolomitized.  This is a chemical process that enhances the original grainstone porosity present in a limestone reservoir.  Records of drill core from surrounding drill holes indicate that the porosity in the Nisku can range from a 0 percent to more than 20 percent.

3D Seismic

3D seismic data was shot across the area during 2007, about 24 years after the East Kevin Field was discovered.  The 3D data and the interpretation of the data by our consulting geologist indicate to us, though no assurance can be given, that the Nisku porosity and oil potential are present not only where wells have already been drilled in the East Kevin Field, but also to the north of the field.  We have acquired an interest in leases on what we believe are similar geological locations on the north edge of East Kevin Field and on trend to the 9 Mile Field to the north of the East Kevin Field.

The 3D seismic data has been interpreted by our consulting geologist to establish what we feel are the areas of better Nisku porosity.  The seismic data interpretation by our consulting geologist has delineate what we believe are paleostructures where grainstone porosity development have most likely occurred.  We believe that this structure could have impacted the topography of the overlying Nisku Formation, resulting in better porosity development on the structurally higher areas, though, no assurance can be given to this development.  Furthermore, we believe that distinct seismic amplitude variations are associated with the Nisku porosity zone and these have been tied to the porosity in previously drilled wells in the area.

6.           DRILLING ACTIVITY

In December 2012, drilling of two oil wells we acquired commenced. The two wells are awaiting fracking in order to determine whether either or both of such wells should be placed in production or abandoned.

7.           PRESENT ACTIVITIES

As of October 15, 2014, we have two oil wells being drilled.

8.           DELIVERY COMMITMENTS

American Midwest Oil and Gas Ltd., (“AMOG”) the 50% owner of our two producing gas wells is the operator of these two wells.  AMOG has a contract with Ranck Oil Company to sell to them all of the gas produced from these two wells.  The gas is sold based on the AECO monthly price minus $1.00 for gathering and is effective until June 30, 2015.

Principal Products

Our principal product is the exploration for and development of oil and natural gas.  Because our properties are in the development stage, there is no guarantee that any hydrocarbons will be found or extracted.

Employees
 
We are an exploration stage company and currently have two full time employees; Michael Altman, our current President, who is also our CEO, works full time on behalf of our Company.  Robert Knight, a director, works full time on behalf of our Company.  Currently, we have no other full time employees.  Frank Lamendola, our Chief Financial Officer, works for us on a part time basis.  Our President and our Chief Financial Officer do not have compensation agreements with us.

All oil and gas exploration and operations will be contracted out to third parties.  In the event that our exploration projects are successful and warrant putting any of our leases into production, such operations may also be contracted out to third parties.  We rely on management to handle all matters related to business development and business operations.
 
Insurance
 
We do not maintain any general insurance, but we plan to implement standard insurance policies for our company.  We do not have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Our ability to acquire a general insurance policy relies upon us having the necessary funds to do so.  We do not have the necessary funds to implement such insurance policies.  Because we do not have any insurance, if we are made a party to a liability action, we may not have sufficient funds to defend the litigation. If that occurs, a judgment could be rendered against us that could cause us to cease operations.

The current operator of our leases, Young Sanders E&P LLC, does carry liability insurance that would cover us against any action pertaining to the leases we hold.

Offices
 
Our administrative offices are currently located at 1846 E. Innovation Park Dr. Oro Valley, AZ 85755.  Our telephone number is (303) 872-7814.

Governmental Regulations - Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety Matters
 

 
18

 


General
 
Our operations are subject to stringent and complex federal, regional, state and local laws and regulations governing occupational health and safety, the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Compliance with these laws and regulations may require the acquisition of permits before drilling or other related activity commences, restrict the type, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling and production activities, limit or prohibit drilling and production activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas, impose specific health and safety criteria addressing worker protection, and impose substantial liabilities for pollution arising from drilling and production operations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of remedial obligations, and the issuance of injunctions that may limit or prohibit some or all of our operations.
 
These laws and regulations may also restrict the rate of oil and natural gas production below the rate that would otherwise be possible. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases the cost of doing business in the industry and consequently affects profitability. Additionally, the trend in environmental regulation has been to place more restrictions and limitations on activities that may affect the environment, and, any changes in environmental laws and regulations that result in more stringent and costly well construction, drilling, waste management or completion activities or waste handling, storage, transport, disposal or remediation requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business. While we believe that we are in substantial compliance with current applicable federal and state environmental laws and regulations and that continued compliance with existing requirements will not have a material adverse impact on our operations or financial condition, there is no assurance that we will be able to remain in compliance in the future with such existing or any new laws and regulations or that such future compliance will not have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.
 
The following is a summary of the more significant existing environmental laws to which our business operations are subject and with which compliance may have a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
 
Hazardous Substances and Wastes
 
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended (“CERCLA”), also known as the “Superfund” law and analogous state laws impose liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons that are considered to have contributed to the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the owner or operator of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred, and companies that disposed or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances released at the site. Under CERCLA, these persons may be subject to joint and several, strict liabilities for remediation cost at the site, natural resource damages and for the costs of certain health studies. Additionally, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file tort claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by hazardous substances released into the environment. We generate materials in the course of our operations that are regulated as hazardous substances.
 
We also may incur liability under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended (“RCRA”), and comparable state statutes that impose stringent requirements related to the handling and disposal of non-hazardous and hazardous wastes. There exists an exclusion under RCRA from the definition of hazardous wastes for drilling fluids, produced waters and certain other wastes generated in the exploration, development or production of oil and natural gas, efforts have been made from time to time to remove this exclusion such that those wastes would be regulated under the more rigorous RCRA hazardous waste standards. A loss of this RCRA exclusion could result in increased costs to us and the oil and gas industry in general to manage and dispose of generated wastes.
 
We intend to own or lease properties that have been used for oil and natural gas exploration and production for many years. Although we believe that we will utilize operating and waste disposal practices that are standard in the industry at the time, hazardous substances, wastes and petroleum hydrocarbons may be released on or under the properties owned or leased by us, or on or under other locations where such substances have been taken for recycling or disposal. In addition, some properties may be operated by third parties whose treatment and disposal of hazardous substances, wastes and petroleum hydrocarbons are not under our control. These properties and the substances disposed or released on them may be subject to CERCLA, RCRA, and analogous state laws. Under such laws, we could be required to remove previously disposed substances and wastes, remediate contaminated property, or perform remedial plugging or pit closure operations to prevent future contamination.

Water Discharges and Subsurface Injections
 
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, (“Clean Water Act”), and analogous state laws, impose restrictions and strict controls with respect to the discharge of pollutants, including spills and leaks of oil and other substances, into state and federal waters. The discharge of pollutants into regulated waters is prohibited, except in accordance with the terms of a permit issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or an analogous state agency. Spill prevention, control and countermeasure (“SPCC”) plan requirements imposed under the Clean Water Act require appropriate containment berms and similar structures to help prevent the contamination of navigable waters in the event of a petroleum hydrocarbon tank spill, rupture or leak. In addition, the Clean Water Act and analogous state laws require individual permits or coverage under general permits for discharges of storm water runoff from certain types of facilities. The Clean Water Act also prohibits the discharge of dredge and fill material in regulated waters, including wetlands, unless authorized by permit. Federal and state regulatory agencies can impose administrative, civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance with discharge permits or other requirements of the Clean Water Act and analogous state laws and regulations. In addition, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, as amended (“OPA”), imposes a variety of requirements related to the prevention of oil spills into navigable waters as well as liabilities for oil cleanup costs, natural resource damages and a variety of public and private damages that may result from such oil spills.
 
The disposal of oil and natural gas wastes into underground injection wells are subject to the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended (“SDWA”), and analogous state laws. Under Part C of the SDWA, the EPA established the Underground Injection Control Program, which establishes requirements for permitting, testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting of injection well activities as well as a prohibition against the migration of fluid containing any contaminants into underground sources of drinking water. State programs may have analogous permitting and operational requirements. Any leakage from the subsurface portions of the injection wells may cause degradation of freshwater, potentially resulting in cancellation of operations of a well, issuance of fines and penalties from governmental agencies, incurrence of expenditures for remediation of the affected resource, and imposition of liability by third parties for property damages and personal injury.
 
Hydraulic Fracturing

The practice of hydraulic fracturing has recently become the subject of significant focus among some environmentalists, regulators and the general public. Concerns over potential hazards associated with the use of hydraulic fracturing and its impact on the environment have been raised at all levels, including federal, state and local. There have been reports associating hydraulic fracturing with groundwater contamination, improper waste disposal, poor air quality and earthquakes. Hydraulic fracturing requires the use and disposal of significant quantities of water, and public concern has been growing over its possible effects on drinking water supplies, as well as the adequacy of supply. Hydraulic fracturing techniques have been used by the industry for many years, and, currently, more than 90% of all oil and natural gas wells drilled in the U.S. employ hydraulic fracturing. We and our operating partners strive to adopt best practices and industry standards and comply with all regulatory requirements regarding well construction and operation. We have, and believe our operating partners have, established processes to help ensure that hydraulic fracturing does not pose a meaningful risk to water supplies.
 
Potential Rulemaking
 
Although hydraulic fracturing is regulated primarily at the state level, governments and agencies at all levels from federal to municipal are conducting studies and considering regulations. For example, in 2011, the U.S. Secretary of Energy formed the Shale Gas Production Subcommittee, a subcommittee of the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board. The Subcommittee was charged with making recommendations to improve the safety and environmental performance of hydraulic fracturing. On August 18, 2011, the Subcommittee issued its Ninety Day Report (the “Report”), which focused exclusively on the production of natural gas (and some liquid hydrocarbons) from shale formations with hydraulic fracturing stimulation in either vertical or horizontal wells. The Subcommittee identified four primary areas of concern including possible water pollution, air pollution, disruption of the community during production, and potential for adverse impact on communities and ecosystems. The Subcommittee also set forth a list of recommendations addressing, among other areas, communications, air quality, protection of water supply and quality, disclosure of fracturing fluid composition, reduction of diesel fuel use, continuous development of best practices, and federal sponsorship of research and development with respect to unconventional gas. The Subcommittee issued its Final Report in November 2011, which recommended implementation of the Subcommittee’s recommendations by federal and state agencies. We will continue to monitor the impact the Subcommittee’s recommendations, and any resulting rule-making activities evolving at federal and state levels, could have on our exploration and development activities.

During 2012, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposed regulations governing hydraulic fracturing on federal lands. The regulations would require: (1) public disclosure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing operations; (2) assurances on well-bore integrity to verify that fluids used in wells during fracturing operations are not escaping; and (3) confirmation of a water management plan in place for handling fracturing fluids that flow back to the surface. On January 21, 2013, the BLM announced that it was withdrawing its proposed regulations and the BLM issued a new set of proposed regulations regarding hydraulic fracturing in May 2013.
 
During 2012, the EPA proposed new guidelines under the Safe Drinking Water Act regarding the issuance of permits for the use of diesel fuel as a component in hydraulic fracturing activities. The draft guidance outlines for EPA permit writers, where the EPA is the permitting authority, requirements for diesel fuels used for hydraulic fracturing wells, technical recommendations for permitting those wells, and a description of diesel fuels for EPA underground injection control permitting. The EPA published the final version of this guidance on February 12, 2014.

The EPA is currently studying the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources. Results are expected to be released in a draft for public and peer review in 2014. In addition, the EPA’s recently issued proposed rules subjecting oil and natural gas operations to regulation under the New Source Performance Standards will be applicable to newly drilled and fractured wells as well as existing wells that are refractured.
 
We continue to monitor new and proposed legislation and regulations to assess the potential impact on our business. Any additional federal, state or local restrictions on hydraulic fracturing that may be imposed in areas in which we conduct business could result in substantial incremental operating, capital and compliance costs as well as delay our ability to develop oil and natural gas reserves. 
 
Air Emissions
 
The Federal Clean Air Act, as amended (“CAA”), and comparable state laws, regulate emissions of various air pollutants from many sources in the United States, including crude oil and natural gas production activities through air emissions standards, construction and operating programs and the imposition of other compliance requirements. These laws and any implementing regulations may require us to obtain pre-approval for the construction or modification of certain projects or facilities expected to produce or significantly increase air emissions, obtain and strictly comply with stringent air permit requirements, or utilize specific equipment or technologies to control emissions of certain pollutants. Federal and state regulatory agencies can impose administrative, civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance with air permits or other requirements of the Clean Air Act and associated state laws and regulations. Over the next several years, we may be required to incur certain capital expenditures for air pollution control equipment or other air emissions-related issues. For example, in 2012, the EPA published final rules under the CAA that subject oil and natural gas production, processing, transmission and storage operations to regulation under the New Source Performance Standards (“NSPS”) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (“NESHAP”) programs. With regards to production activities, these final rules require, among other things, the reduction of volatile organic compound emissions from three subcategories of fractured and refractured gas wells for which well completion operations are conducted: wildcat (exploratory) and delineation gas wells; low reservoir pressure non-wildcat and non-delineation gas wells; and all “other” fractured and refractured gas wells. All three subcategories of wells must route flow back emissions to a gathering line or be captured and combusted using a combustion device such as a flare. However, the “other” wells must use reduced emission completions, also known as “green completions,” with or without combustion devices, after January 1, 2015. These regulations also establish specific new requirements regarding emissions from production-related wet seal and reciprocating compressors and from pneumatic controllers and storage vessels. Compliance with these requirements could increase our costs of development and production, which costs could be significant.

Climate Change
 
Based on findings by the EPA in December 2009 that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases (“GHGs”) present an endangerment to public health and the environment because emissions of such gases are contributing to the warming of the earth’s atmosphere and other climatic changes, the EPA has adopted regulations under existing provisions of the CAA that, among things, establish pre-construction and operating permit reviews for certain large stationary sources that are potential major sources of GHG emissions. This rule could adversely affect our operations and restrict or delay our ability to obtain air permits for new or modified sources that exceed GHG emission threshold levels. The EPA also adopted rules requiring the monitoring and reporting of GHG emissions from specified sources in the United States on an annual basis, including, among others, certain onshore and offshore oil and natural gas production facilities, which include certain of our operations. We are monitoring GHG emissions from our operations in accordance with the GHG emissions reporting rule and believe that our monitoring activities are in substantial compliance with applicable reporting obligations.
 
Congress has from time to time considered legislation to reduce emissions of GHGs but it has not adopted such legislation in recent years. A number of state and regional efforts have emerged that seek to reduce GHG emissions by means of cap and trade programs that often require major sources of GHG emissions to acquire and surrender emission allowances in return for emitting those GHGs. Any such future laws and regulations that require reporting of GHGs or otherwise limit emissions of GHGs from our equipment and operations could require us to incur costs to monitor and report on GHG emissions or reduce emissions of GHGs associated with our operations or could adversely affect demand for the oil and natural gas that we produce. Finally, it should be noted that some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHGs in the Earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, floods and other climatic events; if any such effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our exploration and production interests and operations.
 
Endangered Species
 
The Federal Endangered Species Act, as amended (“ESA”), and analogous state laws restrict activities that could have an adverse effect on threatened or endangered species or their habitats. Similar protections are offered to migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Some of our future operations may be located in or near areas that are designated as habitat for endangered or threatened species. In these areas, we may be obligated to develop and implement plans to avoid potential adverse impacts to protected species, and we may be prohibited from conducting operations in certain locations or during certain seasons, such as breeding and nesting seasons, when our operations could have an adverse effect on the species. It is also possible that a federal or state agency could order a complete halt to our activities in certain locations if it is determined that such activities may have a serious adverse effect on a protected species. Moreover, as a result of a settlement approved by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in September 2011, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is required to make a determination on listing of numerous species as endangered or threatened under the ESA before the completion of the agency’s 2017 fiscal year. The presence of protected species or the designation of previously unidentified endangered or threatened species could impair our ability to timely complete well drilling and development and could cause us to incur additional costs or become subject to operating restrictions or bans in the affected areas.
 
Employee Health and Safety
 
We are also subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended, (“OSHA”), and comparable state statutes that regulate the protection of the health and safety of workers. In addition, the OSHA hazard communication standard, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, as amended, and implementing regulations and similar state statutes and regulations require that information be maintained about hazardous materials used or produced in operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local governmental authorities and citizens. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all applicable laws relating to worker health and safety.
 
 
Other Laws and Regulations
 
State statutes and regulations require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations. In addition, there are state statutes, rules and regulations governing conservation matters, including the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties, establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and natural gas wells and the spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells. Such statutes and regulations may limit the rate at which oil and natural gas could otherwise be produced from our properties and may restrict the number of wells that may be drilled on a particular lease or in a particular field.

Presently, we are qualified to do business in Nevada and Montana. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Toole Oil and Gas Corp. is qualified to do business in Montana.  Our failure to qualify in a jurisdiction where it is required to do so could subject us to taxes and penalties. It could also hamper our ability to enforce contracts in such jurisdictions. The application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose laws currently apply to our business could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Other than the foregoing, no governmental approval is needed for the sale of our services and products.

You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the section of this document entitled “Forward Looking Statements.”  The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing us.  Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition or results of operations.  If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
 
Risks associated with our business:
 
We have no operating history. We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We will go out of business if we fail to generate sufficient revenue or raise additional capital.
 
We have a limited operating history. We were founded on February 13, 2007, and from the date of inception to August 31, 2014, we have accumulated losses of $14,933,817. We expect to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future and will go out of business if we fail to generate sufficient revenue or raise additional capital. We do not foresee generating any significant revenues in the near future, and we only have a commitment at this time to raise $100,000 in additional capital, which was received in November 2014.  Additional losses will result from costs and expenses related to implementing our new business strategy and hiring qualified people to carry out the new business strategy.

If sufficient funds are not available, we may not be able to acquire oil and gas leases to implement our new business plan.
 
Our business may fail if we do not have sufficient funds to enable us to do one or more of the following: make default rental payments on our leases in a timely manner, attract qualified personnel to work for our Company; or fund our administrative and corporate expenses. Failure to acquire oil and gas leases or pay delay rental payments will stop our plan for the Company to move ahead with our strategy.
 
Additional financing is required beyond this amount, and we cannot be certain that it will be available when and to the extent needed. As well, even if financing is available, we cannot be certain that it would be available on acceptable terms or in sufficient quantities.

Removal of Tanglewood Energy LLC as operator.

An original 50% owner of the Leases was Tanglewood Energy LLC (“Tanglewood”). In October 2013, Tanglewood informed its partners in the Leases that it was insolvent.  As per the Operating Agreement in place at that time, Tanglewood was removed as operator and replaced by American Midwest Oil and Gas Corp. We have not received any notification from Tanglewood acknowledging such action and as such this removal may be challenged in court by Tanglewood in the future. If Tanglewood was successful in its challenge then they would be reinstated as operator of the leases.

Some of our leases are shared 50% with Tanglewood Energy LLC who is insolvent and as such has defaulted on its obligations to maintain its interests in the shared leases.

We believe that Tanglewood has forfeited its part ownership position in some of the Leases we own. Tanglewood, failed to participate in the drilling of the first two oil wells and failed to make certain delay rental payments both of which constitutes defaults under the operating agreement.  Accordingly, we believe that Tanglewood forfeited its interests in the leases that pertain to the defaults under the Operating Agreement.  American Midwest Oil and Gas (the then operator) registered these defaults in the court registry in Shelby Montana but has not received assignments for the leases from Tanglewood as required under the operating agreement.  We believe our position is strong to have the courts assign our interests in those leases to us through a court application but there is significant risk that these interests will never be assigned to us.  At this time we have not made an application to the courts to enforce our rights and we expect to file such an action within the next 6 months.  We cannot assure you that we will ever file such a court application.  If Tanglewood should decide to defend its position in court it may cost us significant legal fees and take much time to perfect our position.  If we were to lose any legal challenge regarding the leases we would be obligated to return the forfeited leases to Tanglewood which could significantly affect our land holdings and drilling positions, including reducing our gross mineral acreage and net mineral acreage by approximately 1,735.53 acres..

Furthermore, in the calculation of the net acreage of leases owned by Toole Oil and Gas, Corp., our wholly owned subsidiary, we assume that the defaults under the operating agreement are valid.  The net acreage number we have calculated is 6,170.76 net acres.  If Tanglewood was successful in defending a court action, then our net acreage position would be reduced by approximately 1,735.53 acres.

We are significantly dependent upon officers to develop our business. If we lose our officers or if our officers do not adequately develop our business, we will go out of business.
 
At the outset, our success will depend entirely on the ability of our officers. We do not carry a “key person” life insurance policy on our officers. We currently have two full time employees and one part time employee. We rely almost exclusively upon our officers to meet our needs.

Our directors and officers also own a controlling interest in our common stock, and, as such, you may have no effective voice in our management.

As of November 30, 2014, our directors and officers own approximately 74.27% of the Company's outstanding common stock. As such, these beneficial owners have the ability to influence all corporate actions required to be taken by majority consent of holders and management. If the interests of these beneficial owners differ from the interests of other shareholders, these beneficial owners may be able to ensure that their interests prevail.

Our current directors, officers and key employees beneficially own a significant percentage of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, for the foreseeable future, we expect that our directors and officers will exercise control over all matters requiring board and shareholder approval, including the possible election of additional directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. If you purchase shares of our common stock, you may have no effective voice in our management.

The Company's concentration of ownership may harm the market price of the common stock by, among other things: delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control, even at a per share price that is in excess of the then-current price of the common stock; impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the Company, even at a per share price that is in excess of the then current price of the common stock; or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, even at a per share price that is in excess of the then current price of the common stock.

As we undertake exploration and development of any oil and gas leases that we may acquire, we will be subject to compliance with government regulations that may increase the anticipated cost of our exploration program.
 
 
There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict oil and gas exploration or exploitation. We expect to be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States of America regarding environmental matters, the abstraction of water, and the discharge of wastes and materials and other similar laws and regulations. Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of exploration and development companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on us and our operations increase our expenditures and costs and require abandonment or delays in developing new oil and gas leases. Environmental laws and regulations change frequently, and the implementation of new, or the modification of existing, laws or regulations could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. We cannot predict how agencies or courts in the United States of America will interpret existing laws and regulations or the effect that these adoptions and interpretations may have on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We may be required to make significant expenditures to comply with governmental laws and regulations.
 
Any significant oil and gas development that we undertake in the future will have some environmental impact, including land and habitat impact, arising from the use of land for drilling and related activities, and certain impact on water resources near the project sites, resulting from water use. No assurances can be given that such environmental issues will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in the future. While we believe we do not currently have any material environmental obligations, exploration and development activities may give rise in the future to significant liabilities on our part to the government and third parties and may require us to incur substantial costs of remediation.

Federal and state legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing legislation could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays, or restrict our access to oil and natural gas reserves.
 
We currently use hydraulic fracturing in our operations. Hydraulic fracturing typically involves the injection under pressure of water, sand and additives into rock formations in order to stimulate hydrocarbon production. Hydraulic fracturing using fluids other than diesel is currently exempt from regulation under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (the “SDWA”), but opponents of hydraulic fracturing have called for further study of the technique’s environmental effects and, in some cases, a moratorium on the use of the technique. Several proposals have been submitted to Congress that, if implemented, would subject all hydraulic fracturing to regulation under the SDWA. Eliminating this exemption could establish an additional level of regulation and permitting at the federal level that could lead to operational delays or increased operating costs and could result in additional regulatory burdens that could make it more difficult to perform hydraulic fracturing and increase our cost of compliance and doing business. In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (the “EPA’s”) Office of Research and Development is conducting a scientific study to investigate the possible relationships between hydraulic fracturing and drinking water. The results of that study, which are expected to be available in draft during 2014 for peer review and public comment, could advance the development of additional regulations.
 
Even in the absence of new legislation, the EPA recently asserted the authority to regulate hydraulic fracturing involving the use of diesel additives under the SDWA’s Underground Injection Control Program (the “UIC Program”), which regulates the underground injection of substances. On February 12, 2014, the EPA published UIC Program guidance for oil and natural gas hydraulic fracturing activities using diesel fuel. The guidance document is designed for use by employees of the EPA that draft the UIC permits and describes how regulations of Class II wells, which are those wells injecting fluids associated with oil and natural gas production activities, may be tailored to address the purported unique risks of diesel fuel injection during the hydraulic fracturing process. The EPA has encouraged state programs to review and consider use of the above mentioned guidance. To the extent that EPA’s new regulatory guidance is extended to our operations by permitting authorities, additional and significant compliance costs may arise that could materially affect our operations, cash flows, and financial position.
 
Hydraulic fracturing operations require the use of water and the disposal or recycling of water that has been used in operations. The federal Clean Water Act (the “CWA”) restricts the discharge of produced waters and other pollutants into waters of the United States and requires permits before any pollutants may be so discharged. On October 21, 2011, the EPA announced its intention to propose federal Clean Water Act regulations by 2014 governing wastewater discharges from hydraulic fracturing and certain other natural gas operations. The CWA and comparable state laws and regulations provide for penalties for unauthorized discharges of pollutants including produced water, oil, and other hazardous substances. Compliance with and future revisions to requirements and permits governing the use, discharge, and recycling of water used for hydraulic fracturing may increase our costs and cause delays, interruptions or terminations of our operations which cannot be predicted.

On May 16, 2013, the Department of Interior – Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) released a revised proposed rule that, if adopted as drafted, would require companies operating on federal and Indian lands to (i) publicly disclose the chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process; (ii) confirm their wells meet certain construction standards and (iii) establish site plans to manage flow back water. The revised proposed rule was subject to a 90-day public comment period, which ended on August 23, 2013; the BLM has not yet issued a final rule. The Department of Energy is also considering whether to implement actions to lessen the environmental impact associated with hydraulic fracturing operations. Initiatives by the EPA and other federal and state regulators to expand their regulation of hydraulic fracturing, together with the possible adoption of new federal or state laws or regulations that significantly restrict hydraulic fracturing, could result in delays, eliminate certain drilling and injection activities, make it more difficult or costly for us to perform hydraulic fracturing, increase our costs of compliance and doing business, and delay or prevent the development of unconventional hydrocarbon resources from shale and other formations that are not commercial without the use of hydraulic fracturing. In addition, there have been proposals by non-governmental organizations to restrict certain buyers from purchasing oil and natural gas produced from wells that have utilized hydraulic fracturing in their completion process, which could negatively impact our ability to sell our production from wells that utilized these fracturing processes.
 
Apart from federal regulatory initiatives, states have been considering or implementing new requirements for hydraulic fracturing, including restricting its use in environmentally sensitive areas. Similarly, some localities have significantly limited or prohibited drilling activities, or are considering doing so.
 
Although it is not possible at this time to predict the final requirements of any additional federal or state legislation or regulation regarding hydraulic fracturing, any new federal, state, or local restrictions on hydraulic fracturing that may be imposed in areas where we conduct business, such as the Bakken and Three Forks areas, could significantly increase our operating, capital and compliance costs as well as delay or halt our ability to develop oil and natural gas reserves.

Because of the speculative nature of exploration and development of oil and gas leases and the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in the oil and gas exploration and development business, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable hydrocarbons will be found and developed and our business will fail.
 
Exploration for and development of hydrocarbons is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. Oil and gas exploration and development companies encounter difficulties, and there is a high rate of failure of such enterprises. The expenditures we may make in the exploration of the oil and gas leases may not result in the discovery and development of commercial quantities of hydrocarbons. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration and development of the oil and gas leases that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and development and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan. The search for and development of oil and gas leases also involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, explosions, waste disposal, worker safety and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
 
Additionally, we do not maintain insurance against environmental risks. As a result, any claims against us may result in liabilities we will not be able to afford, resulting in the failure of our business. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in exploration and development operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the exploration and development activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations and, in particular, environmental laws.

Our identified potential drilling locations, which are part of our anticipated future drilling plans, are susceptible to uncertainties that could materially alter the occurrence or timing of their drilling.
 

 
26

 


As of October 14, 2014, we have identified approximately 70 potential vertical drilling locations on our leases.  These drilling locations, including those without proven undeveloped reserves, represent a significant part of our growth strategy. Our ability to drill and develop these locations depends on a number of uncertainties, including the availability of capital, construction of infrastructure, inclement weather, regulatory changes and approvals, oil and natural gas prices, costs, drilling results and the availability of water. Further, our identified potential drilling locations are in various stages of evaluation, ranging from locations that are ready to drill to locations that will require substantial additional interpretation. We cannot predict in advance of drilling and testing whether any particular drilling location will yield oil or natural gas in sufficient quantities to recover drilling or completion costs or to be economically viable. The use of technologies and the study of producing fields in the same area will not enable us to know conclusively prior to drilling whether oil or natural gas will be present or, if present, whether oil or natural gas will be present in sufficient quantities to be economically viable. Even if sufficient amounts of oil or natural gas exist, we may damage the potentially productive hydrocarbon bearing formation or experience mechanical difficulties while drilling or completing the well, possibly resulting in a reduction in production from the well or abandonment of the well. If we drill additional wells that we identify as dry holes in our current and future drilling locations, our drilling success rate may decline and materially harm our business. Because of these uncertainties, we do not know if the potential drilling locations we have identified will ever be drilled or if we will be able to produce oil or natural gas from these or any other potential drilling locations. As such, our actual drilling activities may materially differ from those presently identified, which could adversely affect our business.

Delays in the development of or production curtailment at our material properties may adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.
 
The size of our operations and our capital expenditures budget limit the number of properties that we can develop in any given year. Complications in the development of any single major well or infrastructure installation may result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we expect that relatively few wells will contribute a substantial portion of our production. If we were to experience operational problems or adverse commodity prices resulting in the curtailment of production in any of these wells, our total production levels would be adversely affected, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The Kevin-Sunburst Dome oil price differential could have adverse impacts on our revenues.
 
Generally, oil produced on the Kevin-Sunburst Dome is high quality (characterized by an American Petroleum Institute gravity, or API gravity, between 36 to 44 degrees, which is comparable to West Texas Intermediate, or WTI, oil). However, due to takeaway constraints, oil prices in the area ranged from $5.00 to $15.00 less per Bbl than prices for other areas in the United States during 2014. This discount, or differential, may widen in the future, which would reduce the price we would receive for our production.
 
We may not be able to develop oil and natural gas reserves on an economically viable basis, and our reserves and production may decline as a result.
 
If we succeed in discovering oil and natural gas reserves, these reserves may not be capable of the production levels we project or in sufficient quantities to be commercially viable. On a long-term basis, our viability depends on our ability to find or acquire, develop and commercially produce additional oil and natural gas reserves. Without the addition of reserves through acquisition, exploration or development activities, our reserves and production will decline over time as reserves are produced. Our future reserves will depend not only on our ability to develop then-existing properties, but also on our own and our operating partners’ ability to identify and acquire additional suitable producing properties or prospects, to find markets for the oil and natural gas we may develop and to effectively distribute our production.
 
Future oil and natural gas exploration may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells, but from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues to return a profit after drilling, operating and other costs. Completion of a well does not assure a profit on the investment or recovery of drilling, completion and operating costs. In addition, drilling hazards or environmental damage could greatly increase the cost of operations, and various field operating conditions may adversely affect the production from successful wells. These conditions include delays in obtaining governmental approvals or consents, shut-ins of connected wells resulting from extreme weather conditions, problems in storage and distribution and adverse geological and mechanical conditions. We will not be able to completely eliminate these conditions in any case. Therefore, these conditions could diminish our revenue and cash flow levels and result in the impairment of our oil and natural gas interests.

We may not be able to drill wells on a substantial portion of our acreage.
 
We may not be able to drill on a substantial portion of our acreage for various reasons. We may not generate or be able to raise sufficient capital to do so. Future deterioration in commodities pricing may also make drilling some acreage uneconomic. Our actual drilling activities and future drilling budget will depend on drilling results, oil and natural gas prices, the availability and cost of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and equipment, lease expirations, gathering system and pipeline transportation constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors. In addition, any drilling activities we are able to conduct may not be successful or add additional proven reserves to our overall proven reserves, which could have a material adverse effect on our future business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Certain of our undeveloped leasehold acreage is subject to leases that will expire over the next several years unless production is established on units containing the acreage.
 
A large portion of our acreage is not currently held by production. Unless production in paying quantities is established on units containing these leases during their terms, these leases will expire. If our leases expire, we will lose our right to develop the related properties. Our drilling plans for these areas are subject to change based upon various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including drilling results, oil and natural gas prices, the availability and cost of capital, drilling and production costs, availability of drilling services and equipment, gathering system and pipeline transportation constraints, and regulatory approvals.
 
Shortages of equipment, services and qualified personnel could reduce our cash flow and adversely affect results of operations.
 
The demand for qualified and experienced field personnel to drill wells and conduct field operations, geologists, geophysicists, engineers, and other professionals in the oil and natural gas industry can fluctuate significantly, often in correlation with oil and natural gas prices and activity levels in new regions, causing periodic shortages. During periods of high oil and natural gas prices, the demand for drilling rigs and equipment has increased along with increased activity levels, which may result in shortages of equipment. In addition, there has been a shortage of hydraulic fracturing capacity in many of the areas in which we operate. This shortage in hydraulic fracturing capacity could occur in the future. Higher oil and natural gas prices generally stimulate increased demand and result in increased prices for drilling rigs, crews and associated supplies, oilfield equipment and services, and personnel. These types of shortages and subsequent price increases could significantly decrease our profit margin, cash flow and operating results and/or restrict or delay our ability to drill those wells and conduct those operations that we currently have planned and budgeted, causing us to miss our forecasts and projections.
 
Our lack of diversification will increase the risk of an investment in us and our financial condition and results of operations may deteriorate if we fail to diversify.
 
Our business is focused primarily on a limited number of properties in Montana. We may choose to limit our focus to a single geographic area such as the Kevin-Sunburst Dome, which could limit our flexibility. Our required capital commitments may grow if the opportunity presents itself and will depend upon the results of initial testing and development activities. Larger companies have the ability to manage their risk by diversification. However, we lack diversification in terms of both the nature and geographic scope of our business. As a result, we will likely be impacted more acutely by factors affecting our industry or the regions in which we operate than if our business was more diversified, enhancing our risk profile. For example, we may be disproportionately exposed to the impact of regional supply and demand factors, delays or interruptions of production from wells in the area caused by governmental regulation, processing or transportation capacity constraints, availability of equipment, facilities, personnel or services market limitations or interruption of the processing or transportation of oil or natural gas. In addition, the effect of fluctuations on supply and demand may become more pronounced within specific geographic oil and natural gas producing areas such as the Kevin-Sunburst Dome, which may cause these conditions to occur with greater frequency or magnify the effects of these conditions. Due to the concentrated nature of our portfolio of properties, a number of our properties could experience any of the same conditions at the same time, resulting in a relatively greater impact on our results of operations than they might have on other companies that have a more diversified portfolio of properties. If we cannot diversify our operations, our financial condition and results of operations could deteriorate.

Our ability to sell our production and/or receive market prices for our production may be adversely affected by transportation capacity constraints and interruptions.
 
If the amount of oil or natural gas being produced by us and others exceeds the capacity of the various transportation pipelines and gathering systems currently available in our operating areas, it will be necessary for new transportation pipelines and gathering systems to be built. In the case of oil and condensate, it may be necessary for us to rely more heavily on trucks to transport our production, which is more expensive and less efficient than transportation via pipeline. The construction of new pipelines and gathering systems is capital intensive and construction may be postponed, interrupted or cancelled in response to changing economic conditions and the availability and cost of capital. In addition, capital constraints could limit our ability to build gathering systems to transport our production to transportation pipelines. In such event, costs to transport our production may increase materially or we might have to shut in our wells awaiting a pipeline connection or capacity and/or sell our production at much lower prices than market or than we currently project, which would adversely affect our results of operations. A portion of our production may also be interrupted, or shut in, from time to time for numerous other reasons, including as a result of weather conditions, accidents, loss of pipeline or gathering system access, field labor issues or strikes, or we might voluntarily curtail production in response to market conditions.
 
Competition in obtaining rights to explore and develop oil and natural gas reserves and to market our production may impair our business.
 
The oil and natural gas industry is highly competitive. Other oil and natural gas companies may seek to acquire oil and natural gas leases and other properties and services we intend to target with our investments. This competition is increasingly intense as prices of oil and natural gas rise. Additionally, other companies engaged in our line of business may compete with us from time to time in obtaining capital from investors or in funding joint ventures with our prospective partners. Competitors include a variety of potential investors and larger companies, which, in particular, may have access to greater resources, may be more successful in the recruitment and retention of qualified employees and may conduct their own refining and petroleum marketing operations, which may give them a competitive advantage. In addition, actual or potential competitors may be strengthened through the acquisition of additional assets and interests. If we are unable to compete effectively or adequately respond to competitive pressures, this inability may materially adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition.

We do not carry title insurance and do not plan to secure any in the future. We are therefore, vulnerable to loss of title.

We do not maintain insurance against title. Title on oil and gas leases involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain leases as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history characteristic of many oil and gas leases. We cannot give any assurance that title to any oil and gas leases we may acquire will not be challenged or impugned and cannot be certain that we will have or will acquire valid title to these leases. We cannot assume that counterparties to our title transfer agreements will meet their contractual obligations and transfer title on a timely basis. Furthermore, although we believe that mechanisms exist to integrate the titles of oil and gas leases currently not owned by us, there is a risk that this process could be time consuming and costly. The possibility also exists that title to existing leases or future prospective leases may be lost due to an omission in the claim of title. As a result, any claims against us may result in liabilities we may not be able to afford resulting in the failure of our business.

In the event that we are unable to successfully compete within the oil and gas exploration and development business, we may not be able to achieve profitable operations.
 
The oil and gas exploration and development business is highly competitive. This industry has a multitude of competitors and many competitors dominate this industry. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources than us. As a result, we may experience difficulty competing with other businesses when conducting oil and gas exploration and development activities or in the retention of qualified personnel. No assurances can be given that we will be able to compete effectively.

In the future, the figures for our reserves and resources will be estimates based on interpretation and assumptions, and they may yield less hydrocarbon production under actual conditions than our independent geologists and engineers may estimate.


 
29

 


Unless otherwise indicated, oil and gas reserve figures presented in our filings with securities regulatory authorities, press releases and other public statements that may be made from time to time will be based upon estimates made by independent geologists, independent engineers and our internal geologists. When making determinations about whether to advance any of our projects to development, we must rely upon such estimated calculations as to the oil and gas reserves on any leases we may acquire. These estimates are imprecise and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable.

We cannot assure you that:

  •   these estimates will be accurate;
  •   reserve estimates will be accurate; or
  •   these hydrocarbons can be produced profitably.

Any material changes in oil and gas reserve estimates will affect the economic viability of placing a lease into production and a property’s return on capital. In addition, any oil or gas ultimately produced, if any, may differ from that indicated by our technical reports and production test results. There can be no assurance that hydrocarbons  recovered in small scale tests will be duplicated in large-scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale.

Due to numerous factors beyond our control which could affect the marketability of oil and gas, including their respective market price, we may have difficulty selling any hydrocarbons if commercially viable reserves are found to exist.

The availability of markets and the volatility of market prices are beyond our control and represent a significant risk. Even if commercially viable reserves of oil and gas are found to exist on our property interests, a ready market may not exist for the sale of the reserves. Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of markets and processing equipment, availability of pipelines or other such gathering and transportation systems, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting oil and gas and environmental protection. These factors could inhibit our ability to sell the hydrocarbons in the event that commercially viable reserves are found to exist.

Our due diligence activities with respect to our property interests cannot assure that these properties will ultimately prove to be commercially viable.

Our due diligence activities have been limited, and to a great extent, we have relied upon information provided to us by third-party advisors. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that the leases we possess will contain adequate amounts of hydrocarbons for commercialization. Further, even if we recover hydrocarbons from any leases we may acquire, we cannot guarantee that we will make a profit. If we cannot acquire or locate commercially exploitable oil and gas reserves, or if it is not economical to recover the hydrocarbons, our business and operations will be materially adversely affected.

If we are unable to obtain all of our required governmental permits, our operations could be negatively impacted.

Our future operations, including exploration and development activities, required permits from various governmental authorities. Such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, site safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire all required licenses or permits or to maintain continued operations at economically justifiable costs.

We are in competition with companies that are larger, more established and better capitalized than we are.


 
30

 
 
Many of our potential competitors have:

 •   greater financial and technical resources;

•   longer operating histories and greater experience in the oil and gas industry;

We may have difficulty integrating and managing the growth associated with our recent acquisitions.
 
Our recent acquisition may place a significant strain on our financial, technical, operational and administrative resources. We may not be able to integrate the operations of the acquired assets without increases in costs, losses in revenues or other difficulties. In addition, we may not be able to realize the operating efficiencies, synergies, costs savings or other benefits expected from such acquisitions. Any unexpected costs or delays incurred in connection with such integration could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We intend to hire new employees that we expect will be required to manage our operations, and we plan to add resources as needed as we scale up our business. However, we may experience difficulties in finding additional qualified personnel. In an effort to stay on schedule with our planned activities, we may supplement our staff with contract and consultant personnel until we are able to hire new employees. Our ability to continue to grow after this acquisition will depend upon a number of factors, including our ability to identify and acquire new exploratory prospects and other acquisition targets, our ability to develop then existing prospects, our ability to successfully adopt an operated approach, our ability to continue to retain and attract skilled personnel, the results of our drilling program and acquisition efforts, hydrocarbon prices and access to capital. We may not be successful in achieving or managing growth, and any such failure could have a material adverse effect on us.

Acquisitions may prove to be worth less than we paid because of uncertainties in evaluating recoverable reserves and potential liabilities.
 
We expect acquisitions to be instrumental to our future growth. Successful acquisitions require an assessment of a number of factors, including estimates of recoverable reserves, exploration potential, future oil and natural gas prices, operating costs and potential environmental and other liabilities. Such assessments are inexact and their accuracy is inherently uncertain. In connection with our assessments, we perform a review of the acquired properties that we believe is generally consistent with industry practices. However, such a review will not reveal all existing or potential problems, and does not involve a review of seismic data or independent environmental testing. In addition, our review may not permit us to become sufficiently familiar with the properties to fully assess their deficiencies and limitations, including any structural, subsurface and environmental problems that may exist or arise. As a result of these factors, we may not be able to acquire oil and natural gas properties that contain economically recoverable reserves or be able to complete future acquisitions on terms that we believe are acceptable or that, even if completed, do not contain problems that reduce the value of acquired property.

Seasonal weather conditions and other factors could adversely affect our ability to conduct drilling activities.
 
Our operations could be adversely affected by weather conditions and wildlife restrictions on federal leases. In the Kevin-Sunburst Dome, drilling and other oil and natural gas activities cannot be conducted as effectively during the winter months. Winter and severe weather conditions limit and may temporarily halt the ability to operate during such conditions. These constraints and the resulting shortages or high costs could delay or temporarily halt our oil and natural gas operations and materially increase our operating and capital costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
Losses and liabilities from uninsured or underinsured drilling and operating activities could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.
 
Our Operator maintains several types of insurance to cover our operations, including worker’s compensation and comprehensive general liability. Amounts over base coverages are provided by primary and excess umbrella liability policies. Our operator also carries operator’s extra expense coverage, which covers the control of drilling or producing wells as well as re-drilling expenses and pollution coverage for wells out of control.
 
We may not be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable, or we could experience losses that are not insured or that exceed the maximum limits under our insurance policies. If a significant event that is not fully insured or indemnified occurs, it could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Risks related to an investment in our common stock:
 
Trading of our common stock may be restricted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price, as defined, being less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If we develop a public market for our shares, then our shares would be covered by the penny stock rules. These penny stock rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. These additional requirements may have the effect of limiting the development of a public trading market thereby reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may negatively affect our ability to develop a public trading market for our common stock and may negatively affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our common stock. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and may limit the marketability of, our common stock.

There does not exist a liquid secondary market for our common stock therefore you may not be able to sell your common stock.
 
There is not, currently, a liquid secondary trading market for our common stock. Therefore, there is no central place, such as a stock exchange or electronic trading system, to sell your common stock. If you do want to sell your common stock, then you will be responsible for locating a buyer and finalizing terms of sale.
 
Due to the lack of a market for our shares, our share price will be more volatile. Also, our stock is held by a smaller number of investors thus reducing the liquidity of our stock and the likelihood that any active trading market will develop.
 
There is no market for our common stock and we cannot assure you that any market will ever be developed or maintained. Currently, our stock is listed on the Over-The-Counter-Bulletin-Board (OTCQB) under the trading symbol AXIO. As of the date of this report, our stock has traded on the OTCQB on a very limited basis. We cannot provide any assurance that our stock will continue trading on the OTCQB. The fact that most of our stock is held by a small number of investors further reduces the liquidity of our stock and the likelihood that any active trading market will develop. The market for our common stock, if any, is likely to be volatile and many factors may affect the market. These include, for example: our success, or lack of success, in marketing our services; developing our client base; competition; government regulations; and fluctuating operating results.

Because our common stock is quoted and traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, short selling could increase the volatility of our stock price.

Short selling occurs when a person sells shares of stock which the person does not yet own and promises to buy stock in the future to cover the sale. The general objective of the person selling the shares short is to make a profit by buying the shares later, at a lower price, to cover the sale. Significant amounts of short selling, or the perception that a significant amount of short sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock. In contrast, purchases to cover a short position may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on over-the-counter bulletin board or any other available markets or exchanges. Such short selling if it were to occur could impact the value of our stock in an extreme and volatile manner to the detriment of our shareholders.

Because we do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase shares of our common stock.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on shares of our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their own common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

Because our stock price can be volatile, investors may not be able to recover any of their investment.

Stock prices in general, and stock prices of mineral exploration companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance or any specifics of the company. Factors that may influence the market price of our common stock include:

 
·
actual or anticipated changes or milestones in our operations;
 
·
our ability or inability to acquire oil and gas leases or interests in such properties;
 
·
our ability or inability to generate revenues;
 
·
increased competition within United States and elsewhere;
 
·
government regulations, including oil and gas exploration regulations that affect our operations;
 
·
predictions and trends in the oil and gas industry;
 
·
volatility of oil prices;
 
·
sales of common stock by “insiders”; and
 
·
announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors.

Our stock price may also be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as, but not limited to, armed hostilities or acts of terrorism, recessions, acts of God, interest rates or international currency fluctuations, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, including shares being offered for sale pursuant to a prospectus or upon the expiration of any statutory holding period, under Rule 144, or upon expiration of lock-up periods applicable to outstanding shares, or issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. Recent revisions to Rule 144 may result in shares of our common stock that we may issue in the future becoming eligible for resale into the public market without registration in as little as six months after their issuance.

Because our directors and officers may serve as directors or officers of other companies, they may have a conflict of interest in making decisions for our business.

Our directors and officers may serve as directors or officers of other companies or have significant shareholdings in other resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors or officers may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, we expect that the director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. Our directors are required to act honestly, in good faith and in our best interests. In determining whether or not we will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by us, we expect that the directors and officers will be guided by their fiduciary duties and take into account such matters as they deem relevant, including considering the degree of risk to which we may be exposed and our financial position at that time.

Because our future officers and directors may allocate their time to other business interests or may be employed by other companies, they may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and cause our business to fail.


 
33

 


It is possible that the demands from other obligations on our officers and directors and future officers and directors, could increase, they could no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our operations and business. This conflict of interest could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations and cause our business to fail.

U.S. investors may experience difficulties in attempting to enforce judgments based upon U.S. federal securities laws against us and our non-U.S. resident directors.

Except for our Chief Financial Officer, our directors and officers reside outside of the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for U.S. investors to enforce judgments of U.S. courts for civil liabilities against some of our directors and officers.

Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments

Not applicable.

Item 2.  Properties
 
We do not own any real estate or other tangible property.  Our principal office and the office of our wholly owned subsidiary are located at 1846 E. Innovation Park Dr. Oro Valley, AZ 85755, telephone (303) 872-7814.   We lease our office space in Tucson, Arizona on a monthly basis at $125 per month. No debt has accrued on account of rent payments owing. Our office space is sufficient for our current needs. However, we may require additional space in the event that our business operations are successful and we hire employees.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Except as described below, neither Axiom nor its properties are the subject of any pending legal proceedings and no such proceeding is known to be contemplated by any governmental authority.  We are not aware of any legal proceedings in which any director, officer or affiliate of Axiom, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate or security holder of Axiom, is a party adverse to Axiom or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to Axiom or any of its subsidiaries.

We believe that Tanglewood Energy LLC has forfeited its part ownership position in some of the Leases we own. Tanglewood, failed to participate in the drilling of the first two oil wells and failed to make certain delay rental payments both of which constitutes defaults under the operating agreement.  Accordingly, we believe that Tanglewood forfeited its interests in the leases that pertain to the defaults under the Operating Agreement.  American Midwest Oil and Gas (the then operator) registered these defaults in the court registry in Shelby Montana but has not received assignments for the leases from Tanglewood as required under the terms and conditions of the Operating Agreement.  We believe our position is strong to have the courts assign our interests in those leases to us through a court application but there is significant risk that these interests will never be assigned to us.  If Tanglewood should decide to defend their position in court it may cost us significant legal fees and take much time to perfect our position.  If we were to lose any legal challenge regarding the leases we would be obligated to return the forfeited leases to Tanglewood which could significantly affect our land holdings and drilling positions.  We anticipate filing an application to the courts to have our interest in the leases assigned to us within the next 6 months.

In the calculation of the net acreage of leases owned by Toole Oil and Gas, Corp., our wholly owned subsidiary, we assume that the defaults under the operating agreement are valid.  The net acreage number we have calculated is 6,170.76 net acres.  If Tanglewood was successful in defending a court action, then our net acreage position would be reduced by approximately 1,735.53 acres.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources.

Property and Oil and Gas Operations – We account for our crude oil and natural gas exploration and production activities under the successful efforts method of accounting.
 
Oil and gas lease acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred. Unproven properties with acquisition costs that are not individually significant are aggregated, and the portion of such costs estimated to be non-productive is amortized over the remaining lease term.  If the unproven properties are determined to be productive, the appropriate related costs are transferred to proven oil and gas properties.  Lease rentals are expensed as incurred.
 
Oil and gas exploration costs, other than the costs of drilling exploratory wells, are charged to expense as incurred.  The costs of drilling exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination of whether we have discovered proven commercial reserves.  If proven commercial reserves are not discovered, such drilling costs are expensed.  In some circumstances, it may be uncertain whether proven commercial reserves have been discovered when drilling has been completed.  Such exploratory well drilling costs may continue to be capitalized if the reserve quantity is sufficient to justify its completion as a producing well and sufficient progress in assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project is being made.  Costs to develop proven reserves, including the costs of all development wells and related equipment used in the production of crude oil and natural gas, are capitalized.
 
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of the cost of proven oil and gas properties is calculated using the unit-of-production method.  The reserve base used to calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization for leasehold acquisition costs and the cost to acquire proven properties is the sum of proven developed reserves and proven undeveloped reserves. With respect to lease and well equipment costs, which include development costs and successful exploration drilling costs, the reserve base includes only proven developed reserves.  Estimated future dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs, net of salvage values, are taken into account.
 
Oil and gas properties are grouped in accordance with the Extractive Industries – Oil and Gas Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The basis for grouping is a reasonable aggregation of properties with a common geological structural feature or stratigraphic condition, such as a reservoir or field.
 
When circumstances indicate that proven oil and gas properties may be impaired, we compare expected undiscounted future cash flows to the unamortized capitalized cost of the asset. If the undiscounted future cash flows, based on our estimate of future crude oil and natural gas prices, operating costs, anticipated production from proven reserves and other relevant data, are lower than the unamortized capitalized cost, the capitalized cost is reduced to fair value.

Revenue Recognition – We recognize revenues from crude oil and natural gas sales upon delivery to the buyer.
 
Equity-Based Compensation - We account for equity based compensation transactions with employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 718, “Compensation: Stock Compensation” (“Topic No. 718”). Topic No. 718 requires the recognition of the fair value of equity-based compensation in net income. The fair value of common stock issued for compensation is measured at the market price on the date of grant.  The fair value of our equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and elections including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. In addition, the calculation of equity-based compensation costs requires that we estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited during the vesting period. The fair value of equity-based awards granted to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the award, and we elected to use the straight-line method for awards granted after the adoption of Topic No. 718.
 
We account for equity based transactions with non-employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“Topic No. 505-50”). Topic No. 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to non-employees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, we recognize an asset or expense in the same manner as if we were to pay cash for the goods or services instead of paying with or using the equity instrument.

Other accounting policies are described in the notes to the financial statements included in this Annual Report. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2014.

Overview.   We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 13, 2007, under the name TC Power Management Corp. We are in the exploration stage of our business and have not generated any revenues.  We abandoned our previous business of providing consulting services to private and public entities seeking assessment, development, and implementation of energy generating solutions. We changed our planned business activities to the exploration and development of precious metals properties.  On January 13, 2011, we entered into a material definitive agreement to acquire all of the shares of Axiom Minerals de Mexico S.A. de C.V (“Axiom Mexico”) and on May 10, 2011 we changed our name to Axiom Gold and Silver Corporation.  There were no material relationships between Axiom Gold and Silver, its officers and director or its affiliates and any of the shareholders of Axiom Mexico, other than in respect to the material definitive agreement and a pooling agreement incorporated by reference.  The agreement called for Axiom Gold and Silver, through its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Axiom Acquisition Corp, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Axiom Mexico, by the issuance of eighty thousand (80,000) common shares of Axiom Gold and Silver.  The shares were issued to the shareholders of Axiom Mexico on a pro rata basis as to their ownership of Axiom Mexico.  Axiom Acquisition Corp. merged with and into Axiom Mexico and the separate corporate existence of Axiom Acquisition Corp. ceased to exist.  On May 31, 2012 we sold all of our interest in Axiom Mexico to an unrelated third party for $100 releasing us from any liabilities in Axiom Mexico.

On August 20, 2012, we entered into an option agreement to acquire 13 Fico claims located near Mt. Morrison in the Yukon Territory (the “Fico Claims”) for an aggregate amount of two hundred and fifty thousand Canadian Dollars ($250,000 CAD) as follows: (a) $15,000 CAD payable six months after the signing of the agreement, February 20, 2013; (b) $25,000 CAD payable twelve months after signing, August 20, 2013; (c) $60,000 CAD payable twenty-four months after signing, August 20, 2014; (d) $150,000 CAD payable thirty-six months after signing, August 20, 2015. We agreed to make the minimum work commitments on the Fico Claims as follows: (a) $100,000 CAD each in the first and second year of the agreement; (b) $250,000 CAD in the third year of the agreement. The option agreement was subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty. In February 2013 we abandoned the Fico claims.

We now plan to focus our business strategy on the exploration and development of oil and gas leases, mainly in the United States of America.  On October 12, 2013 we changed our name to Axiom Oil and Gas Corp.

On March 18, 2014, we entered into a Lease Purchase Agreement with Alberta Oil and Gas LP (“LP”) to purchase its interest in the Leases.  On October 14, 2014, we finalized a Lease Purchase Agreement with Alberta Oil and Gas LP whereby we purchased certain oil and gas leases and the leasehold estates created thereby located in Toole County, Montana totaling 14,916.94 gross acres, 6,170.76 net acres which includes a 23.1% working interest in two oil and gas wells drilled on the leases and a 50% interest in two producing gas wells on the leases.  The purchase price for the leases was $2,919,211 ($3,269,076 CDN), of which $44,600 ($50,000 CDN) is to be paid in cash from future cash flow or from future financing, $1,339,470 ($1,500,000 CDN) is in the form of the assumption of a note secured against the leases (of which $1,265,100 ($1,416,717 CDN) remains owing) and the remainder was paid in the form of 6,997,876 shares of our common stock valued at $0.23 per share, approximately $1,610,000.

Tanglewood Energy LLC had a part ownership position in some of the leases we own. We believe that it has forfeited some of its positions, and the gross acreage and net acreages reported above includes acreage that we believe that Tanglewood Energy LLC forfeited and that American Midwest Oil and Gas (a former operator) registered as defaulted in the court registry in Shelby, Montana.  For a more complete description of Tanglewood Energy LLC and our position on the defaults and forfeitures, please see “Description of Business – Legal Proceedings” and “Risk Factors – Risk Associated with Our Business”.  Some of our leases are owned 50% by Tanglewood Energy LLC who is insolvent and as such has defaulted on its obligations to maintain its interests in the leases below. If the forfeitures were to be challenged and proved not to have occurred, our net mineral acreage would be reduced by 1,735.53 acres.

This is a related party transaction as one of our directors and largest shareholders, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer are affiliates of Alberta Oil and Gas LP.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Toole Oil and Gas Corp. is the registered owner of our interest in the leases.

Operating Agreement

Activities on the properties are governed by the Operating Agreement entered into with Young Sanders E&P LLC (incorporated by reference on Form 8K filed October 14, 2014). The Operating Agreement is the standard American Association of Land Professionals 1989 Standard Operating Agreement (the “AAPL Agreement”) with an additional Section 16 governing forfeitures and participation. The AAPL describes the rights and obligations of the participants and the operator in conducting all activities on the properties including the drilling, production and the abandonment of wells.  Exhibits to the Operating Agreement contain, among other things, the standard COPAS Accounting Procedures Joint Operations governing the expenditure of funds and accounting procedures.

Our plan of operation is forward looking, and we may never begin operations.

Plan of Operations

Since the sale of Axiom Mexico and the abandonment of the Fico claims, our current business plan is to acquire oil and gas leases located in the United States of America.

Our proposed principal product is the production of hydrocarbons.  In order to commence the exploration and development of oil and gas leases, we will need to accomplish the following milestones:
 
1.         Acquire and Begin Exploration of Oil and Gas Leases. We will need to raise additional funds or issue shares to pay for the cost of acquisition and exploration of any oil and gas leases.
 
2.         Hire Qualified Staff. We will need to hire qualified people to execute our business plan to explore for hydrocarbons. We will need to raise additional funds to attract qualified people to our Company.  We currently have two full time and one part time employee, and we do not intend to hire additional employees at this time.

Competition

We compete with other oil and gas companies in connection with the acquisition of oil and gas leases and in connection with the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.  Many of these companies are much larger than us, have greater financial resources and have been in the oil and gas business much longer than we have.  As such, these competitors may be in a better position through size, finances and experience to acquire suitable exploration properties.  We may not be able to compete against these companies in acquiring new leases and/or qualified people to work on any of our leases.

There is significant competition for the limited number of oil and gas lease opportunities available and, as a result, we may be unable to continue to acquire attractive oil and gas leases on terms we consider acceptable.

Given the size of the world market for oil and gas relative to individual producers and consumers of oil and gas, we believe that no single company has sufficient market influence to significantly affect the price or supply of oil and gas in the world market.

Governmental Regulations

Our business is subject to various levels of government controls and regulations, which are supplemented and revised from time to time. Any hydrocarbon exploration activity conducted by us requires permits from governmental authorities.  The various levels of government controls and regulations address, among other things, the environmental impact of oil and gas operations and establish requirements for the abandoning wells after operations have ceased. With respect to the regulation of oil and gas production, legislation and regulations in various jurisdictions establish performance standards, air and water quality emission standards and other design or operational requirements for various components of operations, including health and safety standards. Legislation and regulations also establish requirements for decommissioning, reclamation and rehabilitation of oil and gas operations following the cessation of operations, and may require that some former oil and gas leases be managed for long periods of time. In addition, in certain jurisdictions, we may be subject to foreign investment controls and regulations governing our ability to remit earnings abroad.

The need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits will increase the cost of operation and may delay exploration. All permits required for the conduct of oil and gas operations, including the construction of production facilities, may not be obtainable, which would have an adverse effect on any oil and gas project we might undertake. Additionally, failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing exploration to cease or be curtailed.  Parties engaged in oil and gas operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.

Amendments to current governmental laws and regulations affecting oil and gas companies, or the more stringent application thereof, could adversely affect our operations.  The extent of any future changes to governmental laws and regulations cannot be predicted or quantified. Generally, new laws and regulations result in increased compliance costs, including costs for obtaining permits, delays or fines resulting from loss of permits or failure to comply with the new requirements.

Compliance with Environmental Laws

Any future oil and gas operations are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment, waste disposal, worker safety, and protection of endangered and protected species. We expect to make in the future, significant expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. Future changes in applicable laws, regulations and permits or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could have an adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.  In the event that we make mineral hydrocarbon discovery and decide to proceed to production, the costs and delays associated with compliance with these laws and regulations could stop us from proceeding with a project or the operation or increase the costs of improvement or production.

Employees

We currently have two full-time employees working for us, our CEO and a Director and one part-time employee, our CFO.

All oil and gas exploration and operations will be contracted out to third parties.  In the event that our exploration projects are successful and warrant putting any of our leases into production, such operations may also be contracted out to third parties.  We rely on management to handle all matters related to business development and business operations.

For the year ended August 31, 2014 compared to the year ended August 31, 2013.

Results of Operations

Revenues. Through August 31, 2014, we had yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.  Our ability to generate revenues has been significantly hindered by our lack of capital. We hope to generate revenues as we implement our new business plan.

Operating Expenses. For the year ended August 31, 2014, our total operating expenses were $827,689 as compared to total operating expenses of $296,772 for the year ended August 31, 2013. Our total operating expenses in fiscal 2014 consist primarily of compensation ($284,940), consulting ($319,127) and professional fees related to being a public company ($171,698). Of these amounts $159,940 (compensation) and $292,800 (consulting) were share based non-cash expenses. In fiscal 2013, our total operating expenses consisted primarily of compensation ($90,000), and professional fees ($150,000). We expect that we will continue to incur significant professional fees related to being a public company.

Other Income (Expenses). For the year ended August 31, 2014, we had net other income of $4,899, which represents income from debt forgiveness of $32,480 net of interest expense of $27,581. For the year ended August 31, 2013, we had interest expense of $4,636.

Net Loss.  For the year ended August 31, 2014, our net loss was $822,790, as compared to the year ended August 31, 2013, in which our net loss was $301,408 as discussed above.  We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future and until we generate significant revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash of $76 as of August 31, 2014 compared to cash of $362 as of August 31, 2013. The decrease in the amount of our cash from 2013 to 2014 is due to our inability to raise capital through the sale of our securities and the using of the cash we had in our operations. We are seeking to raise additional funds to meet our working capital needs principally through the sales of our securities.  As of the date of this report, we have commitments to raise $100,000 which we received in November 2014, but we may not be able to raise additional funds.
 
As of August 31, 2014, our total liabilities were $853,641 comprised of $606,641 in accounts payable and accrued expenses (including, $243,000 owed to our current Chairman for accrued compensation and expenses and $35,000 owed to our current CEO for accrued compensation), $142,000 in notes payable (including $5,000 to our Chairman) and $105,000 in convertible debentures. In our year ended August 31, 2013, our total liabilities were $607,539 comprised of $511,000 in accounts payable and accrued expenses (including, $120,000 owed to our current Chairman and former CEO for accrued compensation and expenses), $67,000 in notes payable to non-affiliates and $30,000 in convertible debentures.
 
At inception, we sold 800,000 shares of common stock to our officers and director for $500 in cash. In 2008, we sold an additional 179,336 shares of common stock through our public offering for proceeds of $112,085. We have used the proceeds from the cash raised in that offering to pay the legal and accounting costs of being a public company. For the year ended August 31, 2011, we sold 172,960 shares of common stock through our public offering for gross proceeds of $1,081,000.  We recorded $96,850 of costs related to the offering.  We used the proceeds from this offering for general working capital to pay the costs of operations.

In December 2011, we received gross proceeds of $285,904 from the sale of 45,745 shares of common stock at $6.25 per share to one non-U.S. investor pursuant to Regulation S.

Effective August 16, 2012, our current CEO converted $212,218 of accrued and unpaid compensation and reimbursable expenses owed him into 8,488,720 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share. We incurred a charge for share based finance costs of $6,154,322 in the year ended August 31, 2012.

In August 2012, we received gross proceeds of $10,000 from the sale of 16,000 Units at $0.625 per Unit which included 16,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,600 shares of common stock at $0.875 per share to a non-US accredited investor pursuant to Regulation S.  We incurred offering costs of $1,000 (10% of gross proceeds) plus warrants to purchase 1,143 shares of common stock at $0.875 per share.

In September 2012, we received gross proceeds of $33,750 from the sale of 54,000 Units at $0.625 per Unit which included 54,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 5,400 shares of common stock at $0.875 per share to three non-US accredited investors pursuant to Regulation S.  We incurred offering costs of $3,375 (10% of gross proceeds) plus warrants to purchase 3,857 shares of common stock at $0.875 per share. 

In July and August 2013 we received $30,000 through the sale of convertible debentures to 2 non-US accredited investors pursuant to Regulation S.  The debentures are due and payable between June 30, 2014 and July 30, 2014 and carry an interest rate of 20% per annum and are convertible at $.25 per share any time after December 31, 2013 on a post consolidated basis.

In September 2013 we received $35,000 through the sale of convertible debentures to two non-US accredited investors pursuant to Regulation S.  The debentures are due and payable June 30, 2014 and carry an interest rate of 20% per annum and are convertible at $.25 per share any time after December 31, 2013 on a post consolidated basis.

In October, 2013, we received $15,000 through the sale of convertible debentures to 2 non-US resident accredited investors pursuant to Regulation S. The debentures are due and payable June 30, 2014 and carry an interest rate of 20% per annum and are convertible at $.25 per share any time after December 31, 2013 on a post consolidated basis.

Effective October 16, 2013, we entered into a consulting agreement for assistance in certain business and corporate matters, such as strategic and business plans, expansion of the Company's shareholder base and financing alternatives. The term of the agreement is for a period of 90 days from the effective date. We issued the consultant a total of 700,000 shares of Company common stock valued at $140,000, the fair value on the effective date, as compensation under the agreement.

On October 30, 2013, we settled an outstanding payable in the amount of approximately $125,000 through the issuance of an 8% promissory note in the amount of $35,000 due January 31, 2014 and 200,000 shares of our common stock with an agreed upon value of $0.01 per share.

In December 2013, we received $20,000 through the sale of convertible debentures to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation S.  The debentures are due and payable on June 30, 2014 and carry an interest rate of 20% per annum and are convertible at $0.25 per share (on a post-consolidated basis) any time after December 31, 2013.

In January 2014, we received $5,000 through the sale of a convertible debenture to a non-US accredited investor pursuant to Regulation S.  The debenture is due and payable June 30, 2014 and carries an interest rate of 20% per annum and is convertible at $.25 per share at any time after issuance on a post consolidated basis.

Effective February 4, 2014, we settled an outstanding payable in the amount of approximately $70,000 through the issuance of an 8% promissory note in the amount of $35,000 due April 30, 2014 and 140,000 shares of our common stock with an agreed upon value of $0.01 per share. The common stock was valued at $0.25 per share, $35,000, representing the fair value of the remaining payable balance, which was more reliably measurable.

On February 17, 2014, we entered into a consulting agreement for business advisory and other related services. The agreement is for a term of six months with compensation of $2,000 per month. Pursuant to the agreement we also issued the consultant a total of 300,000 shares of Company common stock for $200. The stock is valued at $153,000, $0.51 per share being the fair value on the effective date of the agreement.

Effective as of August 27, 2014, we issued 100,000 shares of common stock to Sanders Ortoli Vaughn-Flam Rosenstadt LLP for services rendered at a deemed value of $0.45 per share, valued at $45,000, the fair value at date of issuance. These shares were issued pursuant to Regulation D.

On September 18, 2014 we issued 60,000 shares of our common stock to our Chief financial Officer for services to be rendered at a deemed value of $0.45 per share valued at $27,000 the fair value at date of issuance.  These shares were issued pursuant to Regulation D.

On October 14, 2014 we issued 250,000 shares of Common Stock to Sanders Ortoli Vaughn-Flam Rosenstadt LLP for services rendered at a deemed value of $0.23 per share valued at $57,500, the Fair Value at date of issuance.  These shares were issued pursuant to Regulation D.

On October 14, 2014 we issued 6,997,876 shares of our common stock to Alberta Oil and Gas LP as part of our acquisition agreement for the leases owned by Alberta Oil and Gas LP in Toole County Montana at a deemed value of $0.23 per share valued at approximately $1,610,000 the fair value at date of issuance.  These shares were issued pursuant to Regulation D.

On November 1, 2014, we entered into an agreement with Legacy Global Financial Group Inc. (“Legacy”) for consulting services. Legacy will provide corporate consulting services, including assisting us in obtaining financing through, among other means, introductions to financial professionals. The initial term of the agreement is for six months from the effective date. Pursuant to the agreement, we will pay Legacy $5,000 per month during the six month term and issue them a two-year warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share.

On November 17, 2014, we issued a debenture in the amount of $100,000 to a non-affiliated investor pursuant to a 12% Convertible Redeemable Debenture in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $500,000. The debenture is due November 5, 2015, accrues interest at 12% per annum and is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share. In addition, the holder received a two year warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.35 per share and is entitled to certain net revenue interests in oil and gas wells owned by our subsidiary, Toole Oil and Gas Corp., as defined in the debenture agreement.

On December 1, 2014, we entered into a consulting agreement for business advisory and other related services. The agreement is for a term of six months with compensation of $2,000 per month. Pursuant to the agreement we also issued the consultant a total of 300,000 shares of Company common stock for $200. The stock is valued at $54,000, $0.18 per share being the fair value on the effective date of the agreement, and we recorded stock-based compensation of $53,800.
 
During fiscal 2015, we expect that our business plan for exploration of oil and gas leases will be a significant cost to us and to complete that plan we will need to raise substantial funds.  Furthermore, if we find additional leases for acquisitions that may also require significant capital, not only for the actual acquisition but also for any exploration work that may need to be completed.  As well, the legal and accounting costs of being a public company will continue to impact our liquidity and we will need to obtain funds to pay those expenses. Other than the anticipated exploration costs, acquisition costs, increases in legal and accounting costs due to the reporting requirements of being a reporting company, we are not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties, which may affect our future liquidity.
 
In the opinion of management, available funds will not satisfy our working capital requirements to operate at our current level of activity for the next twelve months. Our forecast for the period for which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could fail as a result of a number of factors. In order to implement our business plan in the manner we envision, we will need to raise additional capital.  We cannot guaranty that we will be able to raise additional funds. Moreover, in the event that we can raise additional funds, we cannot guaranty that additional funding will be available on favorable terms. In the event that we experience a shortfall in our capital, we hope that our officers, directors and principal shareholders will contribute funds to pay for our expenses to achieve our objectives over the next twelve months.  At this time, though, we do not have any arrangement with any of our officers, directors or shareholders to provide any funding for the Company.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and
  Stockholders of
Axiom Oil and Gas Corp.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Axiom Oil and Gas Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of August 31, 2014 and 2013, the related statements of operations, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended August 31, 2014, and for the period from inception of exploration stage (September 1, 2010) through August 31, 2014, and the statement of changes in stockholders’ deficiency for the period from inception of exploration stage (September 1, 2010) through August 31, 2014.  Axiom Oil and Gas Corp.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Axiom Oil and Gas Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of August 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended August 31, 2014, and the period from inception of exploration stage (September 1, 2010) through August 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenue, and has accumulated significant losses and an accumulated deficit during its exploration stage.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AXIOM OIL AND GAS CORP.

(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements



Note 1
Nature of Business and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

Axiom Oil and Gas Corp. (“Axiom” or the “Company”) is in the business of acquiring and exploring oil and gas properties primarily in the United States.  The Company was incorporated in Nevada on February 13, 2007 under the name TC Power Management Corp. and originally formed for the purpose of providing consulting services to private and public entities seeking assessment, development and implementation of energy generating solutions. Effective September 1, 2010, the Company changed its business strategy to the business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties. Accordingly, as of September 1, 2010, the Company is considered to be an exploration stage company.  On May 10, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation changing its name to Axiom Gold and Silver Corporation.  In addition, the Amendment increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 300,000,000 and authorized the issuance of 10,000,000 preferred shares, the terms of which may be determined by the Board of Directors without the vote of shareholders. Effective November 1, 2010, the Company enacted a four-for-one (4:1) forward stock split. On August 27, 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation and effective October 10, 2013 (i) changed its name to Axiom Oil and Gas Corp. to reflect its new business strategy of acquiring and exploring oil and gas properties; and  (ii) enacted a one-for-twenty-five (1:25) reverse stock split.  The Company remains an exploration stage company.  All share and per share data in these financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the stock splits.

Note 2
Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has no established source of revenue, and has accumulated significant losses and an accumulated deficit during its exploration stage. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Management's plans with respect to alleviating the adverse financial conditions that caused substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern are as follows:
 
The Company’s current assets are not deemed to be sufficient to fund ongoing expenses related to the startup of planned principal operations. In order to implement its business plan, the Company needs to raise additional capital through equity or debt financings or through loans from shareholders or others. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully raise additional capital and eventually attain profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital or execute its business strategy.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Exploration Stage Company – As of September 1, 2010, the Company became an “exploration stage company” as defined in the Securities and Exchange Commission Industry Guide 7, and is subject to compliance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915 “Development Stage Entities”.  For the period from February 13, 2007 (Inception) to August 31, 2010, the Company was a “development stage company” in accordance with ASC Topic 915.  Deficits accumulated prior to becoming an “exploration stage company” have been separately presented in the accompanying balance sheets and statement of changes in stockholders’ deficiency.  To date, the Company’s planned principal operations have not fully commenced.

Property and Oil and Gas Operations – We account for our crude oil and natural gas exploration and production activities under the successful efforts method of accounting.
 
Oil and gas lease acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred. Unproved properties with acquisition costs that are not individually significant are aggregated, and the portion of such costs estimated to be nonproductive is amortized over the remaining lease term.  If the unproved properties are determined to be productive, the appropriate related costs are transferred to proved oil and gas properties.  Lease rentals are expensed as incurred.
 
Oil and gas exploration costs, other than the costs of drilling exploratory wells, are charged to expense as incurred.  The costs of drilling exploratory wells are capitalized pending determination of whether we have discovered proven commercial reserves.  If proven commercial reserves are not discovered, such drilling costs are expensed.  In some circumstances, it may be uncertain whether proven commercial reserves have been discovered when drilling has been completed.  Such exploratory well drilling costs may continue to be capitalized if the reserve quantity is sufficient to justify its completion as a producing well and sufficient progress in assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project is being made.  Costs to develop proven reserves, including the costs of all development wells and related equipment used in the production of crude oil and natural gas, are capitalized.
 
Depreciation, depletion and amortization of the cost of proven oil and gas properties is calculated using the unit-of-production method.  The reserve base used to calculate depreciation, depletion and amortization for leasehold acquisition costs and the cost to acquire proven properties is the sum of proven developed reserves and proven undeveloped reserves. With respect to lease and well equipment costs, which include development costs and successful exploration drilling costs, the reserve base includes only proven developed reserves.  Estimated future dismantlement, restoration and abandonment costs, net of salvage values, are taken into account.

Note 3
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Oil and gas properties are grouped in accordance with the Extractive Industries – Oil and Gas Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The basis for grouping is a reasonable aggregation of properties with a common geological structural feature or stratigraphic condition, such as a reservoir or field.
 
When circumstances indicate that proved oil and gas properties may be impaired, we compare expected undiscounted future cash flows to the unamortized capitalized cost of the asset. If the undiscounted future cash flows, based on our estimate of future crude oil and natural gas prices, operating costs, anticipated production from proven reserves and other relevant data, are lower than the unamortized capitalized cost, the capitalized cost is reduced to fair value.

Revenue Recognition – We recognize revenues from crude oil and natural gas sales upon delivery to the buyer.
 
Equity-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for equity based compensation transactions with employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 718, “Compensation: Stock Compensation” (“Topic No. 718”). Topic No. 718 requires the recognition of the fair value of equity-based compensation in net income. The fair value of common stock issued for compensation is measured at the market price on the date of grant.  The fair value of the Company’s equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and elections including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. In addition, the calculation of equity-based compensation costs requires that the Company estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited during the vesting period. The fair value of equity-based awards granted to employees is amortized over the vesting period of the award and the Company elected to use the straight-line method for awards granted after the adoption of Topic No. 718.

The Company accounts for equity based transactions with non-employees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“Topic No. 505-50”). Topic No. 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to non-employees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, the Company recognizes an asset or expense in the same manner as if it was to pay cash for the goods or services instead of paying with or using the equity instrument.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Income Taxes – The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740 “Income Taxes” which requires the use of the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements. The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. At August 31, 2014, the entire deferred tax asset, which arises primarily from our operating losses, has been fully reserved because management has determined that it is not more likely than not that the net operating loss carry forwards will be realized in the future.

At August 31, 2014, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits.  The Company's practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.  As of August 31, 2014, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties.  The Company  currently has no federal or state tax  examinations  in progress  nor has it had  any  federal  or  state  tax  examinations  since  its inception.  All of the Company's tax years are subject to federal and state tax examination.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share – Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the amount of earnings for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period, while giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period, such as common shares that could result from the potential exercise or conversion of securities into common stock.

Financial Instruments – The carrying values of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable and convertible debentures approximate fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash in banks. Cash is maintained in accounts with major financial institutions in the form of demand deposits and the Company has not experienced any losses on such deposits.

Subsequent Events – In accordance with ASC 855 “Subsequent Events” the Company evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation” (ASU 2014-10). ASU 2014-10 removes all incremental financial reporting requirements regarding development-stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915 from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, ASU 2014-10 adds an example disclosure in Risks and Uncertainties (Topic 275) to illustrate one way that an entity that has not begun planned operations could provide information about risks and uncertainties related to the company’s current activities. ASU 2014-10 also removes an exception provided to development-stage entities in Consolidations (Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. Effective with the first quarter of our fiscal year ended August 31, 2016, the presentation and disclosure requirements of Topic 915 will no longer be required. The revisions to Consolidation (Topic 810) are effective the first quarter of our fiscal year ended August 31, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We have not determined the potential effects on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.  The amendments in ASU 2014-09 will be applied using one of two retrospective methods. The effective date will be the first quarter of our fiscal year ended August 31, 2018. We have not determined the potential effects on our financial statements.

There are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results.

Effective November 1, 2013, we granted a stock option award for the purchase of 150,000 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share to a Director. The fair value of our common stock at date of grant was $0.20.  The fair value of the option, $15,734, was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The option vests over an 18 month period as follows: 75,000 shares immediately and 25,000 shares each on May 1, 2014, November 1, 2014 and May 1, 2015; and is exercisable for five years from the date of issuance. The fair value of the option is charged to operations as share-based expense over the vesting period. The expense recorded in the year ended August 31, 2014 is $13,813.

Effective January 29, 2014, we granted a stock option award for the purchase of 300,000 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share to our current CEO (see Note 9). The fair value of our common stock at date of grant was $0.51.  The fair value of the option, $91,275, was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The option vests over an 18 month period as follows: 150,000 shares immediately and 50,000 shares each on August 1, 2014, February 1, 2015 and August 1, 2015; and is exercisable for five years from the date of issuance. The fair value of the option is charged to operations as share-based expense over the vesting period. The expense recorded in the year ended August 31, 2014 is $72,514.

Effective February 4, 2014, we settled an outstanding payable in the amount of approximately $70,000 through the issuance of an 8% promissory note in the amount of $35,000 due April 30, 2014 and 140,000 shares of our common stock with an agreed upon value of $0.01 per share. The common stock was valued at $0.25 per share, $35,000, representing the fair value of the remaining payable balance, which was more reliably measurable.

On February 17, 2014, we entered into a consulting agreement for business advisory and other related services. The agreement is for a term of six months with compensation of $2,000 per month. Pursuant to the agreement we also issued the consultant a total of 300,000 shares of Company common stock for $200. The stock is valued at $153,000, $0.51 per share being the fair value on the effective date of the agreement, and we recorded stock-based compensation of $152,800 in the year ended August 31, 2014.

The number of shares of common stock outstanding at August 31, 2014, includes 100,000 shares authorized for issuance which have not been issued as of August 31, 2014.

2013 Stock Option Plan
On October 24, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the implementation of the 2013 Employee and Consultant Stock Option Plan (the "2013 Option Plan"). The 2013 Option Plan is intended to provide an incentive to our executive personnel, directors, key employees or consultants who are responsible for or contribute to our management, growth and/or profitability. The purpose of granting options to such persons under the Plan is to attract them to consider employment with, or service to, us, to encourage their continued employment or service, and to give them incentive to provide their best efforts to us for purposes of enhancing shareholder value. A total of up to 3,000,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for the 2013 Option Plan. The options can be issued at a strike price set at up to a 10% discount to market.  As of August 31, 2014, 1,717,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance under the 2013 Option Plan.

2010 Stock Option Plan
The 2010 Stock Option Plan ("2010 Plan"), adopted by the Board of Directors on January 31, 2011, is intended to provide an incentive to our executive officers, directors, employees, independent contractors or agents who are responsible for or contribute to our management, growth and/or profitability. The purpose of granting options to such persons under the 2010 Plan is to attract them to consider employment with, or service to, us, to encourage their continued employment or service, and to give them incentive to provide their best efforts to us for purposes of enhancing shareholder value.

A total of up to 280,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for the implementation of the 2010 Plan, either through the issuance of options to eligible persons in the form of incentive stock options or non-statutory options which are subject to restricted property treatment under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code. Whenever practical, the 2010 Plan is to be administered by a committee of not less than two members of the Board of Directors appointed by the full Board, and the 2010 Plan has a term of ten years, unless sooner terminated by the Board. As of August 31, 2014, 268,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance under the 2010 Plan.

The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rates of 39% to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 as follows:

At August 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $437,000 of capitalized pre-operating costs that have not been deducted for tax purposes.  These costs are being amortized in the 180 month period beginning June 1, 2011, the commencement of exploration operations. No tax benefit has been reported in the August 31, 2014 and 2013 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
 
Based upon historical net losses and the Company being in the exploration stage, management believes that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized and has provided a valuation allowance of 100% of the deferred tax asset.  The valuation allowance increased by approximately $331,000 and $115,000 in the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Compensation Agreements

On January 14, 2011 we entered into an agreement with Robert Knight pursuant to which in return for serving as Director – Business Development (a non-executive position), Mr. Knight received $7,500 per month and options to purchase 12,000 shares of our common stock exercisable at $6.25 per share. The options vested over a one year period and expire 5 years from the date of the grant. The initial term of the agreement was for a one year period.  On May 18, 2012, upon the resignations of certain officers and directors, the Company appointed Mr. Knight, CEO, CFO, Secretary and a Director. Compensation remains at $7,500 per month on a month to month basis.

On January 29, 2014, Mr. Knight resigned as President and CEO of the Company and we appointed Michael Altman as President, CEO and a Director. Mr. Knight remains as Chairman of the Board of the Company. Mr. Altman receives compensation of $5,000 per month and received a stock option to acquire 300,000 shares of our common stock exercisable at a price of $0.45 per share.  The option vests over an 18 month period and expires 5 years from the date of grant.

Pursuant to compensation agreements, subject to the exceptions and limitations provided therein, the Company has agreed to hold harmless and indemnify the officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law against any and all liabilities and expenses in connection with any proceeding to which such director or officer was, is or becomes a party, arising out of his services as an officer, director, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or its subsidiaries.

Lease Agreements

In February 2011, we entered into a one year lease for administrative office space in Oro Valley, Arizona. The lease was effective through February 29, 2012 at a cost of $900 per month.  Currently we lease the facility on a month to month basis at a cost of $125 per month.

Rent expense for the year ended August 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to approximately $2,000 and $2,000, respectively.

Effective October 17, 2013, we entered into a definitive agreement with American Midwest Oil and Gas Corp. ("AMOG") to participate, through a joint venture, in the exploration and development of certain oil and gas wells located in Montana that are currently held by AMOG. This is a related party transaction as our majority shareholder and sole director and officer, at that date, and our current Chairman is also a shareholder of AMOG (See Note 11).

On October 25, 2013, we entered into a Farmout Agreement with AMOG to replace the agreement of October 17, 2013.  This is a related party transaction as our majority shareholder and sole director and officer, at that date, and our current Chairman is also a shareholder of AMOG. The Farmout Agreement gives us the right to drill a well, and potentially additional wells, on the land underlying leases held by AMOG as defined in the agreement (See Note 11).

On March 18, 2014, we entered into a Lease Purchase Agreement with Alberta Oil and Gas LP to purchase its interests in certain oil and gas leases and the leasehold estates created thereby located in Toole County, Montana totaling approximately 14,900 mineral acres (approximately 6,200 net acres). Alberta Oil and Gas LP and AMOG are 50/50 partners in these leases. The original purchase price for the lease purchase is $3,600,000 Canadian dollars (“CAD”) (approximately $3,321,000 US dollars), of which, $50,000 CAD ($46,000 US) is to be paid in cash, $1,416,717 CAD ($1,300,000 US) is to be in the form of the assumption of a note (original face value of $1,500,000 CAD) secured against the leases and the remainder to be paid in the form of 7,200,000 shares of our common stock.  The purchase price may be reduced if prior to the closing of the purchase it is determined that the seller does not have a defensible title to all of the leases.  The closing of the purchase was to take place on May 30, 2014, provided that prior to that time we have cash assets of $1,000,000. On April 2, 2014, we amended the Lease Purchase Agreement with Alberta Oil and Gas LP by reducing the number of shares of our common stock to be issued to 7,000,000. This is a related party transaction as our Chairman, CEO and CFO have an equity interest in each of the partners of Alberta Oil and Gas LP. On June 18, 2014, we entered into an agreement with Alberta Oil and Gas LP to amend the Lease Purchase Agreement by confirming the transfer of the working interests in the two producing gas wells and the two newly drilled oil wells. Closing of this transaction has been extended by mutual agreement (See Note 11).

On April 2, 2014, we entered into agreements with each of the 5 shareholders of AMOG and a separate agreement with AMOG, whereby we are purchasing all of the issued and outstanding shares of AMOG. This agreement replaces our Farmout Agreement entered into on October 25, 2013.  AMOG is the owner and operator (with its 50/50 partner Alberta Oil and Gas LP) of certain oil and gas leases and the leasehold estates created thereby located in Toole County, Montana totaling approximately 14,600 mineral acres (approximately 11,300 net mineral acres) as well as an interest in 2 recently drilled oil wells and 2 producing gas wells. The purchase price for the shares of AMOG is $3,480,000 and will be paid by the issuance of 7,400,000 shares of our common stock and payment of $150,000 for a licensing fee for the 3D seismic, to be paid from production and/or through the raising of drilling funds. This is a related party transaction as our Chairman has an equity interest in AMOG. The closing of the purchase was to take place May 29, 2014.  This transaction has not closed, but negotiations continue between the parties to resolve the outstanding issues for the completion of this acquisition (See Note 11).

On August 21, 2014, we entered into an agreement with Librarium Associates Ltd. (“Librarium”) for financial consulting services. Librarium will assist us in obtaining financing using its best efforts to introduce the Company to financial professionals and institutions and private investors. The initial term of the agreement is for one year from the effective date. Pursuant to the agreement, we will pay Librarium a finder’s fee based on 10% of the value of a successful financing consummated with any person or entity directly or indirectly introduced to us by Librarium during the term of the agreement, any extension thereof, or for a period of two years following the termination of the agreement. The fee shall be paid one half (50%) in cash and one half (50%) in common stock of the Company. The common stock issued, among other terms, is entitled to certain “piggyback” registration rights, as defined in the agreement.

Subsequent Events

Effective September 9, 2014, the agreement with the 5 shareholders of AMOG and separately with AMOG to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of AMOG was terminated. While there is no formal written agreement for such termination, the parties have executed mutual releases in connection with the prior contractual dealings.

On September 18, 2014, we approved the issuance of 60,000 shares of our common stock valued at $0.45 per share, $27,000, to our CFO for services to be rendered.

Effective October 14, 2014, we finalized the Lease Purchase Agreement with Alberta Oil and Gas, LP to purchase interests in certain oil and gas leases and the leasehold estates created thereby located in Toole County, Montana totaling approximately 14,900 gross mineral acres (approximately 6,200 net mineral acres), which includes a 23.1% working interest in two oil and gas wells drilled on the leases and a 50% interest in two producing gas wells on the leases. The purchase price for the leases, as amended, is $2,919,211 USD ($3,269,076 CAD), of which, $44,600 USD ($50,000 CAD) is to be paid in cash, $1,265,100 USD ($1,416,717 CAD) is to be in the form of the assumption of a note secured against the leases and the remainder to be paid in the form of 6,997,876 shares of our common stock valued at $0.23 per share, approximately $1,610,000.  This is a related party transaction as our Chairman, CEO and CFO are considered affiliates of Alberta Oil and Gas, LP. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Toole Oil and Gas Corp. is the registered owner of our interest in the leases.

Tanglewood Energy LLC had a part ownership position in some of the leases we own. We believe that it has forfeited its positions, and the gross acreage and net acreages reported above includes acreage that we believe that Tanglewood Energy LLC forfeited and that American Midwest Oil and Gas (a former operator) registered as defaulted in the court registry in Shelby, Montana.  Some of our leases are shared 50% with Tanglewood Energy LLC who is insolvent and as such has defaulted on its obligations to maintain its interests in the shared leases below. If the forfeitures were to be challenged and proved not to have occurred, our net mineral acreage would be reduced by approximately 1,754 acres.

Effective October 14, 2014, we granted each of our CEO and director, CFO and Director and Chairman  stock options for the purchase of 300,000 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, 900,000 common shares in the aggregate. The options vest as follows: 150,000 shares each immediately and 50,000 each vesting April 14, 2015, 50,000 each vesting October 14, 2015 and 50,000 shares each vesting April 14, 2016.
 

On October 14, 2014, the Company approved the issuance of 250,000 shares of common stock to its attorney.  The shares were valued at $0.23 per share and $57,500 of share based expense will be recorded.

On November 1, 2014, we entered into an agreement with Legacy Global Financial Group Inc. (“Legacy”) for consulting services. Legacy will provide corporate consulting services, including assisting us in obtaining financing through, among other means, introductions to financial professionals. The initial term of the agreement is for six months from the effective date. Pursuant to the agreement, we will pay Legacy $5,000 per month during the six month term and issue them a two-year warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share.

On November 17, 2014, we issued a debenture in the amount of $100,000 to a non-affiliated investor pursuant to a 12% Convertible Redeemable Debenture in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $500,000. The debenture is due November 5, 2015, accrues interest at 12% per annum and is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share. In addition, the holder received a two year warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.35 per share and is entitled to certain net revenue interests in oil and gas wells owned by our subsidiary, Toole Oil and Gas Corp., as defined in the debenture agreement.

On December 1, 2014, we entered into a consulting agreement for business advisory and other related services. The agreement is for a term of six months with compensation of $2,000 per month. Pursuant to the agreement we also issued the consultant a total of 300,000 shares of Company common stock for $200. The stock is valued at $54,000, $0.18 per share being the fair value on the effective date of the agreement, and we recorded stock-based compensation of 53,800.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, in accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15F and 15d-15F, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Michael Altman, our Chief Executive Officer and Frank Lamendola, our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon and as of the date of that evaluation, Messrs. Altman and Lamendola concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed and submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.  The reason we believe our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective is because:

 
1.
No independent Directors;
 
2.
No segregation of duties;
 
3.
No audit committee; and
 
4.
Ineffective controls over financial reporting.

Michael Altman, our Chief Executive Officer and Frank Lamendola, our Chief Financial Officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as 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 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 financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and
  • provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  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.

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2014.   In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.

Based on our assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer believe that, as of August 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on those criteria, due to the following:
  • We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over our financial statements.
  • We do not maintain appropriate cash controls – Due to our very limited staff, including accounting personnel, we lack a proper segregation of functions, duties and responsibilities with respect to our cash process.
In light of this conclusion and as part of the preparation of this report, we have applied compensating procedures and processes as necessary to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting. Accordingly, management believes, based on its knowledge, that (1) this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report, and (2) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the years and periods then ended.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Stock Option and other Compensation Plans
 
2010 Stock Option Plan

The Plan, adopted by the Board of Directors on January 31, 2011, is intended to provide an incentive to our executive officers, directors, employees, independent contractors or agents who are responsible for or contribute to our management, growth and/or profitability. The purpose of granting options to such persons under the Plan is to attract them to consider employment with, or service to, us, to encourage their continued employment or service, and to give them incentive to provide their best efforts to us for purposes of enhancing shareholder value.

A total of up to 280,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for the implementation of the Plan, either through the issuance of options to eligible persons in the form of incentive stock options or non-statutory options which are subject to restricted property treatment under Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code. Whenever practical, the Plan is to be administered by a committee of not less than two members of the Board of Directors appointed by the full Board, and the Plan has a term of ten years, unless sooner terminated by the Board. During the year ended August 31, 2011, options to purchase 278,000 shares of common stock were granted under the plan and during the year ended August 31, 2012, 266,000 options were subsequently terminated under the plan. As of August 31, 2014, 268,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance under the 2010 Stock Option Plan.

2013 Stock Option Plan

On October 24, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the implementation of the 2013 Employee and Consultant Stock Option Plan (the "2013 Option Plan"). The 2013 Option Plan is intended to provide an incentive to our executive personnel, directors, key employees or consultants who are responsible for or contribute to our management, growth and/or profitability. The purpose of granting options to such persons under the Plan is to attract them to consider employment with, or service to, us, to encourage their continued employment or service, and to give them incentive to provide their best efforts to us for purposes of enhancing shareholder value. A total of up to 3,000,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for the 2013 Option Plan. The options can be issued at a strike price set at up to a 10% discount to market.  As of August 31, 2014, 1,717,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance under the 2013 Stock Option Plan.

As of August 31, 2014, there are no other stock option plans, stock appreciation rights, retirement, pension, or profit sharing plans for the benefit of our officers and directors.
