strategy is to acquire oil and gas producing properties that have proven reserves and established in-field drilling locations

with a combination of cash, debt, and equity.

We believe that acquisition of such properties minimizes our risk, allows us to

generate immediate cash flow, and provides in-field drilling locations to expand production within the proven oil and gas fields.

We will aggressively develop these low cost/low risk properties in order to enhance shareholder value.

In addition, Avalon's technology

group acquires oil production enhancing technologies.

In furtherance

of the foregoing strategy, we have engaged in the following transactions during the last three years:

the year ended March 31, 2013, we advanced $160,000 for the purchase of oil and gas producing properties in Western Oklahoma,

Present Operations

We plan to assemble a portfolio of early-stage EV Battery

Technologies developed from Universities in Norway, Sweden and Finland, and seek grants from the State of Minnesota Department of Economic

Development to find and identify corporate partners to commercialize these technologies and ultimately produce revenues for the Company.

The Company does not currently own any patents or technologies related to the EV battery industry, and the process to acquire patents

and technologies can be costly, and as such, the Company is not guaranteed to acquire any such patents.

Management believes that the technologies available in the

specialized energy industry present a stable business model with high growth potential and we are actively working towards an impactful

acquisition in this space.

Government and Industry Regulation

Biden-Harris Administration and 117th Congress have passed critical legislation that will establish U.S.

leadership in electric transportation

and maintain our global competitiveness in the automotive industry.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/3684),

and the Inflation Reduction Act (https://electrificationcoalition.org/work/federal-ev-policy/inflation-reduction-act/) are historic

acts that invest hundreds of millions into the EV sector.

They will bolster U.S.

manufacturing and supply chains to support the transition

for both the light-duty and medium- and heavy-duty sectors.

Beginning January 1, 2023, the Clean Vehicle Credit (CVC)

provisions removed the manufacturer sales caps for vehicles sold after January 1, 2023, expanded the scope of eligible vehicles to include

both EVs and FCEVs, and required that the battery powering the vehicle has a capacity of at least seven kilowatt-hours (kWh).

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

established the Battery Safety Initiative for Electric Vehicles (Initiative) to coordinate research and other activities relating to electric

vehicle (EV) battery safety.

The Initiative is responsible for:

Collecting and analyzing data related to EV batteries;

Examining field incidents and conducting battery safety investigations from EV crash and non-crash events;

Researching and evaluating EV battery health, battery management systems and cybersecurity, and high-voltage battery charging failures and effects;

Investigating safety-related battery defects.

The NHTSA Initiative also participates

in the development of Global Technical Regulation (GTR) No.

20 for EV Safety (PDF) (https://unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/main/wp29/wp29wgs/wp29gen/wp29registry/ECE-TRANS-180a20e.pdf)

which includes battery fire safety.

For more information, see the NHTSA’s Initiative (https://www.nhtsa.gov/battery-safety-initiative)

The Secretaries of Transportation

and Energy jointly established an EVWG to make recommendations regarding the development, adoption, and integration of light-, medium-,

and heavy-duty electric vehicles (EVs) into the transportation and energy system of the United States.

The EVWG is comprised of 25 members

from federal agencies, the automotive industry, the energy industry, state and local governments, labor organizations, and the property

development industry.

The EVWG will produce three reports describing the status of EV adoption, including barriers and opportunities to

scale up EV adoption, and recommendations for EV issues including EV charging station needs, manufacturing and battery costs, EV adoption

for low- and moderate-income individuals and underserved communities, and EV charging station permitting and regulatory issues.

report must be submitted within 18 months of the EVWG establishment, and the second and third reports each two years thereafter.

on the EVWG reports, the Secretaries of Transportation and Energy must jointly develop, maintain, and update an EV strategy that includes

how the federal, state, and local governments, and industry can establish quantitative transportation electrification targets, overcome

barriers, provide public EV education and awareness, identify areas of opportunity in research and development to lower EV cost and increase

performance, and expand EV charging station deployment.

The Secretaries and the Working Group will use existing federal resources such

as the Alternative Fuels Data Center (https://afdc.energy.gov/), the Energy Efficient Mobility Systems (https://www.energy.gov/eere/vehicles/energy-efficient-mobility-systems/)

program, and the Clean Cities and Communities Coalition Network (https://cleancities.energy.gov).

The EVWG was established on June

8, 2022, and will terminate upon the submission of the third and final report.

For more information, see the EVWG (https://driveelectric.gov/ev-working-group/)

New Policies which may impact our business plan:

“Donald Trump’s return to the presidency has brought

sweeping changes to the electric vehicle (EV) and battery sectors.

Among the most consequential moves, Trump revoked a 2021 executive

order targeting 50% EV sales by 2030, a change certain to disrupt automakers’ strategies.

The 2021 order had been instrumental in

shaping automakers’ strategies and fostering EV adoption in the U.S.

While the target was nonbinding, it was supported by major

automakers, who now face significant uncertainties.

Trump’s administration has also frozen $5 billion

allocated for EV charging stations, a move that will potentially slow the expansion of critical infrastructure needed to support widespread

The administration also aims to eliminate state emissions waivers, such as California’s, which set stricter rules for

phasing out gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035.

If successful, this could stall progress in the transition to EVs in multiple states, affecting

automakers who have invested heavily in EV development in response to these

Instead, Trump’s policies favor reallocating

funds to bolster domestic battery manufacturing for “national defense supply chains.”

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been directed

to reevaluate rules requiring automakers to increase EV production to meet stricter emissions controls by 2032.

The administration’s

swift policy reversal has already led to market volatility and raised concerns about the future of U.S.

EV and battery initiatives.

Financial markets react to policy uncertainty

The financial impact of these changes has been immediate.

Shares in Asian automakers and battery makers dropped following Trump’s announcements, highlighting the global ripple effects of

policy shifts.

South Korean battery manufacturers, such as LG Energy Solution and SK Innovation, experienced declines of 4.3%

and 3.7%, respectively, as reported by Reuters.

Japanese automakers also faced challenges, with Mazda Motor and Honda Motor shares falling

Despite these setbacks, Chinese EV manufacturers’ shares

rose after Trump refrained from targeting Beijing in his inauguration speech, reflecting the intricate dynamics of global EV competition.

Takahide Kiuchi, chief economist at Nomura Research Institute, told Reuters that additional tariffs and policy changes could worsen export

conditions for Asian countries reliant on U.S.

Impact on EV incentives and US manufacturers

Trump’s rollback of EV mandates includes a push to reconsider

the popular $7,500 federal tax credit for EV purchases.

Narrowing eligibility criteria for this tax credit could potentially reduce the

number of qualifying vehicles, influencing consumer behavior by raising the effective cost of EVs.

Automakers may need to adjust their

strategies to account for this shift.

While fully repealing the tax credit would require Congressional action, Trump’s administration

may narrow eligibility criteria, reducing the number of vehicles that qualify for incentives.

This could disproportionately impact companies

like Tesla, General Motors, and Ford, which have invested heavily in U.S.-based battery factories to benefit from previous subsidies.

Automakers with Mexican manufacturing operations are also

under pressure.

Trump has indicated potential 25% tariffs on vehicles imported from Canada and Mexico, starting as early as February.

These tariffs would significantly affect companies like Honda and Mazda, which rely on Mexican plants to supply the U.S.

which exports approximately 300,000 vehicles annually from Mexico to the U.S., also faces heightened risks.

Broader industry repercussions

The EV industry’s growth has been closely tied to stable

incentives and policies.

According to PwC, U.S.

EV adoption was on track to reach 27 million vehicles by 2030, driven by government support.

Trump’s abrupt policy reversals could stall this momentum, affecting both domestic and global manufacturers.

The Financial Times

noted that regulatory overhauls, while not immediate, could have a chilling effect on the market as automakers and investors

adapt to new uncertainties.

Trump’s decision to resume issuing export permits for

liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects and his emphasis on energy independence signal a broader shift away from clean energy initiatives.

Challenges ahead for automakers and battery makers

EV market adjusts to these sweeping changes, automakers

and battery manufacturers must navigate an increasingly complex landscape.

Legal challenges to Trump’s policies are likely, but

the administration’s swift actions have already created significant market disruptions.

For now, the industry faces an uncertain

future, with stakeholders bracing for the long-term implications of these policy shifts.”
