2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
We
plan to raise additional capital during the coming fiscal year, but currently have not identified additional funding sources.
Our ability to continue operations is highly dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing, or generate revenues from
our acquired oil and gas leasehold interests, none of which can be guaranteed.
Ultimately,
our success is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues from our acquired oil and gas leasehold interests, and to achieve
profitability, which is dependent upon a number of factors, including general economic conditions and the sustained profitability
resulting from the operation of the acquired oil and gas leaseholds. There is no assurance that even with adequate financing or
combined operations, we will generate revenues and be profitable.

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The
June 30, 2015, financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the Company
has incurred a loss of $30,808,171 from inception through June 30, 2015, and has a working capital deficiency of $91,353
and stockholders’ equity of $1,943,854 as of June 30, 2015. The Company currently has minimal revenue generating operations
and expects to incur substantial operating expenses in order to expand its business. As a result, the Company expects to incur
operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company will continue to seek equity and debt financing to meet our
operating losses. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might become
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Our
cash and cash equivalents were $128,818 on June 30, 2015, compared to $135,713 on March 31, 2015. We met our liquidity needs through
the issuance of our common and preferred stock for cash and the revenue derived from our oil and gas operations.
We
need to raise additional capital during the fiscal year, but currently have not acquired sufficient additional funding. Our
ability to continue operations as a going concern is highly dependent upon our ability to obtain immediate additional financing, or
generate revenues from our acquired oil and gas leasehold interest, and to achieve profitability, none of which can be guaranteed.
Unless additional funding is obtained, it is highly unlikely that we can continue to operate. There is no assurance
that even with adequate financing or combined operations, we will generate revenues and be profitable.
Ultimately,
our success is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues from our acquired oil and gas leasehold interests.
