EXPLANATORY NOTE

CoJax Oil and Gas Corporation, a Virginia corporation,  (the "Company") is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the "Amendment") to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the "Original 10-K") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "S.E.C.") on March 30, 2020, to (1) add the tabular information on securities registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, ("Exchange Act"); (2) Item 15 and exhibits of the Original 10-K is being amended to include as an Exhibit 4.6 describing the Company's common stock;  (3) amend Item 1A Risk Factors to amend one risk factor to reflect lack of directors and officers insurance coverage; (4) amend Item 10 Directors, Executive Officers, and Corporate Governance to add a disclosure on directors and officers insurance; and (5) amend Item 11. Executive Compensation to add additional information about employment agreements and changes in management. No other sections of the Original 10-K are reproduced below.

 

No other changes have been made to the Original 10-K other than as described above. This Amendment does not reflect subsequent events occurring after the original filing date of the Original 10-K or modify or update in any way disclosures made in the Original 10-K. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original 10-K have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to us after the filing of the Original 10-K, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original 10-K, and our filings with the S.E.C. made subsequent to the filing of the Original 10-K on March 30, 2020.

Item 1A. Risk Factors


 

Drilling for and producing crude oil are high-risk activities with many uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

 

Our proposed drilling and operating activities will be subject to many risks, including the risk that we will not discover commercially productive reservoirs. Drilling for crude oil can be unprofitable, not only from dry holes but from productive wells that do not produce sufficient revenues to return a profit. In addition, our drilling and producing operations may be curtailed, delayed, or canceled as a result of other factors, including:

 

·unusual or unexpected geological formations and miscalculations; 

·fires; 

·explosions and blowouts; 

·pipe or cement failures; 

·environmental hazards, such as natural gas leaks, oil spills, pipeline, and tank ruptures, encountering naturally occurring radioactive materials, and unauthorized discharges of toxic gases, brine, well stimulation, and completion fluids, or other pollutants into the surface and subsurface environment; 

·loss of drilling fluid circulation; 

·title problems for the properties on which we drill and resulting restrictions or termination of a lease for oil drilling and production operations; 

·facility or equipment malfunctions; 

·unexpected operational events, especially the need to drill significantly deeper than originally contemplated or finding, despite an engineering study to the contrary, that the drilling site is a dry hole that produces no appreciable amounts of crude oil or no crude oil; 

·shortages of skilled personnel or unexpected loss of key drilling and production workers; 

·shortages or delivery delays of equipment and services or of water used in hydraulic fracturing activities; 

·compliance with environmental and other regulatory requirements and any unexpected remedial requirements for violations of environmental or other regulatory requirements; 

·shareholder activism and activities by non-governmental organizations to restrict the exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas so as to minimize emissions of greenhouse gases of "GHG's"; 

·natural disasters; and

·adverse weather conditions. 

 

Any of these risks can cause substantial losses, including personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution, environmental contamination, clean-up responsibilities, loss of wells, repairs to resume operations, and regulatory fines or penalties.

 

Insurance against all operational risks may not be available to us or not affordable for us. Additionally, we may elect not to obtain insurance if we believe that the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the perceived risks presented. The occurrence of an event that is not covered in full or in part by insurance could have a material adverse impact on our business activities, financial condition, and results of operations. We only have standard business liability and casualty insurance as of the date of this filing.  Our Company has not obtained or maintained directors' and officers' insurance coverage, but we intend to obtain the coverage when and if properly funded or have sufficient cash flow from operations. We will not pay for or require and cannot afford insurance covering drilling, production, and storage of oil and establishing oil rigs until we receive sufficient funding.

 

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers, and Corporate Governance

Mr. Delancey's resignation was not due to any disagreement with Company or its Board or management on any matter relating to Company's operations, policies, practices, or otherwise. 

With the resignation of Mr. Delancey, Mr. Jeffrey Guzy was the sole director of the Company.  On January 22, 2020, Mr. Jeffrey Guzy, as the sole director and sole Common Stock shareholder of the Company, appointed himself as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  

On March 16, 2020, CoJax Oil and Gas Corporation, a Virginia corporation ("Company") appointed Wm. Barrett Wellman as the Company's Chief Financial Officer.
