Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financing Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting under COSO Framework 2013 as of March 31, 2016 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded
that, as of March 31, 2016, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. The material weaknesses identified
related to (i) a lack of accounting staff and resources with appropriate knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting and compliance
requirements; (ii) a lack of sufficient documented financial closing policies and procedures; and (iii) a lack of independent
directors and an audit committee.
We
plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered
by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate
such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending March
31, 2019 : (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of
duties and ineffective risk management; (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting,
and (iii) strengthen our financial team by employing more qualified accountant(s) conversant with US GAAP to enhance the quality
of our financial reporting function. The remediation efforts set out in (i), (ii) and (iii) are largely dependent upon our securing
additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation
efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant
to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act.
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
We
regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve
controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include
such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
During
the last fiscal quarter’ assessment, we noted the material weaknesses as stated above.
Limitations
on Controls
Management
does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon
certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures
are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (who
is also our Chief Financial Officer) has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at
that reasonable assurance level.

13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Preferred
Stock
The
100 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, issued to an officer/director as payment for $500,000 in promissory notes, are convertible
into the number of shares of common stock sufficient to represent 40 percent (40%) of the fully diluted shares outstanding after
their issuance. The Series A Preferred Stock pays an eight percent (8%) dividend. The dividends are cumulative and payable quarterly.
The Series A Preferred Stock carries liquidating preference, over all other classes of stock, equal to the amount paid for the
stock plus any unpaid dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock provides for voting rights on an "as converted to common stock"
basis.
During
the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred $40,000 in Class A preferred stock dividends, respectively. As
of March 31, 2016, there is $37,450 in accrued preferred stock dividends payable.
The
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to convert each share of preferred stock into a sufficient number of shares
of common stock to equal 40% of the then fully-diluted shares outstanding. Fully diluted shares outstanding is computed as the
sum of the number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise, conversion
or exchange of outstanding options, and warrants. In the event that the Company does not have an adequate number of shares of
Common Stock authorized, upon a conversion request, only the maximum allowable number of shares of Series A preferred stock shall
convert into Common Stock and the remaining shares of Series A preferred Stock shall convert upon lapse of the applicable restrictions.
On
January 12, 2018, our Board of Directors agreed to amend Designation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock be amended
by changing the ratio for conversion, in Article IV, subparagraph (a), from .4% to .51% so that upon conversion the number of
shares of common stock to be exchanged shall equal 51% of then issued and outstanding common stock.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Groove
Botanicals Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Groove Botanicals Inc. (formerly known as Avalon Oil &
Gas, Inc.) (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2016, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2016, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully
described in Note 1, the Company has a significant working capital deficiency, has incurred significant losses and needs to raise
additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the
U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error
or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining,
on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE
1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature
of Operations
Groove
Botanicals, Inc. (the "Company") (formally known as Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc.), was originally incorporated in Colorado
in April 1991 under the name Snow Runner (USA), Inc. The Company was the general partner of Snow Runner (USA) Ltd.; a Colorado
limited partnership to sell proprietary snow skates under the name "Sled Dogs" which was dissolved in August 1992. In
late 1993, the Company relocated its operations to Minnesota and in January 1994 changed our name to Snow Runner, Inc. In November
1994 we changed our name to the Sled Dogs Company. On November 5, 1997, we filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code. In September 1998, we emerged from protection of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In May, 1999, we changed our state
of domicile to Nevada and our name to XDOGS.COM, Inc. On July 22, 2005, the Board of Directors and a majority of the Company's
shareholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change the Company's name to Avalon Oil & Gas, Inc.,
and to increase the authorized number of shares of our common stock from 200,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 shares par value
of $0.001, and engage in the acquisition of producing oil and gas properties. On November 16, 2011, a majority of the
Company's shareholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of our
common stock from 1,000,000,000 shares to 3,000,000,000 shares par value of $0.001.
On
June 4, 2012 the Board of Directors approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to a reverse split of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (“Shares”) such that each holder of Shares as of the record
date of June 4, 2012 shall receive one (1) post-split Share on the effective date of June 4, 2012 for each three hundred (300)
Shares owned. The reverse split was effective on July 23, 2012. On September 28, 2012, we held a special
meeting of Avalon’s shareholders and approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation such that the
Company would be authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock. We filed an amendment with the Nevada
Secretary of State on April 10, 2013, to increase our authorized shares to 200,000,000.
On
March 21, 2018 the Board of Directors and a majority of the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation
to change the Company's name to Groove Botanicals, Inc. We filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the
State of Nevada on May 18, 2018.
The
Company is currently in the process of raising funds to manufacture and sell our CBD skincare products.
On
September 22, 2007 the Company entered into an agreement with respect to its purchase of a 75.6% interest in Oiltek, Inc. (Oiltek)
for $50,000 and the right of Oiltek to market Avalon's intellectual property.
On
March 19, 2014, the Company formed Weyer Partners, LLC, (“Weyer”) a one hundred percent (100%) wholly owned Minnesota
Corporation. Weyer Partners, LLC, was formed to operate oil and gas properties in Oklahoma and Texas. Weyer is consolidated
in these financial statements.
On
May 9, 2014, the Company formed AFS Holdings, Inc., (“AFS”) a one hundred percent (100%) wholly owned Nevada Corporation.
AFS Holding, Inc., was formed to leverage the Company’s relationship with IP TechEx, and market technology licensed from
IP TechEx. AFS is consolidated in these financial statements.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 AND 2015
Principles
of consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Company’s subsidiary’s Oiltek, Inc.,
AFS Holdings, Inc., and Weyer Partners, LLC. All significant inter-company items have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going
Concern
The
Company has minimal revenues from our remaining oil and gas assets. We are in need of additional cash resources to maintain our
operations. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficit of $676,586, had incurred losses since inception of
$33,610,746, and have not yet received any revenue from the sale our CBD skincare products. These factors raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its
ability to raise additional capital or obtain necessary debt financing. The Company is presently dependent on its controlling
shareholder to provide us funding for its daily operation and expenses, including professional fee and fees charged by regulators,
although he is under no obligation to do so.
The
Company intends to meet the cash requirements for the next 12 months from the issuance date of this report through a combination
of debt and equity financing by way of private placements, friends, family and business associates. The Company currently did
not have any arrangements in place to complete any private placement financings and there is no assurance that the Company will
be successful in completing any such financings on terms that will be acceptable to it.
If
we do not have sufficient working capital to pay our operating costs for the next 12 months, we will require additional funds
to pay our legal, accounting and other fees associated with our Company and our filing obligations under United States federal
securities laws, as well as to pay our other accounts payable generated in the ordinary course of our business. Once these costs
are accounted for, we will focus on the following the manufacture and sale of our CBD skincare products.
Any
failure to raise money will have the effect of delaying the timeframes in the business plan as set forth above, and the Company
may have to push back the dates of such activities.
The
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses and
further losses are anticipated as a result of the development of business which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern within the next twelve months from the issuance date of this report. The ability to continue
as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining financing necessary
to meet the Company’s obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.
Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans from directors
and/or private placement of the Company’s common stock.
Our
cash and cash equivalents were $108,220 on March 31, 2016, compared to $135,713 on March 31, 2015. We met our liquidity needs
through the issuance of our common stock, preferred stock, and notes payable for cash and from 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 the sale of our CBD skincare products, 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 the sale of our CBD skin care products.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Basis
of Accounting
The
Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses
when incurred.

THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 AND 2015
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on deposit. The Company maintains its cash balances at several financial
institutions. Accounts at the institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company's financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, notes receivable
and long-term debt. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their
fair values based on their short-term nature. The recorded values of notes payable, notes receivable and long-term debt approximate
their fair values, as interest approximates market rates.
Accounts
Receivable and Receivables from the Joint Interest
Management
periodically assesses the collectability of the Company's accounts receivable and receivables from the Joint Interest. Accounts
determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company determined that the accounts
receivable from the Joint Interest accounts were uncollectable for the year ended March 31, 2016.
Oil
and Natural Gas Properties
The
Company follows the full cost method of accounting for natural gas and oil properties. Under the full cost concept,
all costs incurred in acquiring, exploring, and developing properties cost center are capitalized when incurred and are amortized
as mineral reserves in the cost center are produced, subject to a limitation that the capitalized costs not exceed the value of
those reserves. The unamortized costs relating to a property that is surrendered, abandoned, or otherwise disposed
of are accounted for as an adjustment of accumulated amortization, rather than as a gain or loss that enters into the determination
of net income, until all of the properties constituting the amortization base are disposed of, at which point gain or loss is
recognized. The Company capitalizes all internal costs, including: salaries and related fringe benefits of employees directly
engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural gas and oil properties, as well as other identifiable general
and administrative costs associated with such activities. During the year ended March 31, 2016 no acquisition costs were capitalized. During
the year ended March 31, 2015, we capitalized $120,000 for the purchase of the Kensington Energy Assets. Oil and natural
gas properties are reviewed for recoverability at least annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its
carrying value may exceed future undiscounted cash inflows. Under the full cost method of accounting, a ceiling test is performed
on a quarterly basis. The full cost ceiling test is an impairment test prescribed by SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10. The ceiling
test determines a limit on the book value of oil and natural gas properties. The capitalized costs of proved oil and natural gas
properties, net of accumulated depletion in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, may not exceed the estimated future
net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves, excluding future cash outflows associated with settling asset retirement
obligations that have been accrued in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, using the unweighted average first day
of the month commodity sales prices for the previous twelve months (adjusted for quality and basis differentials), held constant
for the life of production, discounted at 10%, plus the cost of unevaluated properties and major development projects excluded
from the costs being amortized. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to expense. As of March 31, 2016
and 2015, the Company impaired $128,462 in Proven Oil and Gas Properties and $1,690,183 in Unproved Oil and Gas Properties and
- 0- respectively.

Property
and Equipment
Other
property and equipment is reviewed on an annual basis for impairment and as of March 31, 2016 the Company had not identified any
such impairment. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations when incurred and improvements and renewals are capitalized.
Other
property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes
and accelerated methods for tax purposes.
Their
estimated useful lives are as follows:
Office
Equipment: 5-7 Years
Asset
Retirement Obligations
In
accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” Accounting Standard Codification “ASC”
410-20-15, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, the Company records the fair value of its liability for
asset retirement obligations in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the
related long live assets. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value at the end of each reporting period, and the
capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related assets. Upon settlement of the liability, the Company will
either settle the obligation for its recorded amount or incur a gain or loss upon settlement. The Company's asset retirement obligations
relate to the plugging and abandonment of its oil properties.
Intellectual
Property
The
cost of licensed technologies acquired is capitalized and will be amortized over the shorter of the term of the licensing agreement
or the remaining life of the underlying patents.
The
Company evaluates recoverability of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that intangible
assets carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant decrease
in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an
accumulation of cost significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition of an asset. The Company measures
the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it.
The
Company impaired $21,292 for the year ended March 31, 2016. There were not any impairment loss for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2015.
Should
the sum of the expected cash flows be less than the carrying amount of assets being evaluated, an impairment loss would be recognized.
The impairment loss would be calculated as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets, exceed fair value. Estimated
amortization of intangible assets over the next five years is as follows:

Stock
Based Compensation
Share
awards granted to employees and independent directors are accounted for under ASC 718, "Share-Based Payment". ASC 718-10
eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transaction using the intrinsic value method and requires instead that such
transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company has elected to adopt the provisions of ASC 718-10 effective
January 1, 2006, under the modified prospective transition method, in which compensation cost was recognized beginning with the
effective date (a) based on the requirements of ASC 718-10 for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b)
based on the requirements of ASC 718-10 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of ASC 718-10 that remain
unvested on the effective date.
The
Company records share-based compensation expense for awards granted to non-employees in exchange for services at fair value in
accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, "Equity Based" payment to non-employees. For the awards granted to non-employees,
the Company will record compensation expenses equal to the fair value of the share options at the measurement date, which is determined
to be the earlier of the performance commitment date or the service completion date.
Loss
per Common Share
ASC
260-10-45, “Earnings Per Share”, requires presentation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share
on the face of the statements of operations for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic earnings per share are computed
by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share
reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
during the period. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation. In
addition, the Company had a net loss during current period so dilutive securities would decrease negative EPS and have an anti-dilutive
effect.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and
credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of
a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents
the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets
and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are
reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC
740-10-25, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, is intended to clarify the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements and prescribes the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken
or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Under
ASC 740-10-25, evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not
that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on
the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold
to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount
of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Recent
Accounting Standards
In
August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure
of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 provides
guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern and sets rules for how this information should be disclosed in the financial statements. ASU 2014-15
is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted ASU 2014-15
prospectively for the annual period ending December 31, 2016. Pursuant to ASU 2014-15, the Company is required to consider whether
there are adverse conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued and the probability that management’s plans will
mitigate the adverse conditions or events (if any). Adverse conditions or events would include, but not be limited to, negative
financial trends (such as recurring operating losses, working capital deficiencies, or insufficient liquidity), a need to restructure
outstanding debt to avoid default, and industry developments (for example commodity price declines and regulatory changes).

10: INCOME TAXES
Deferred

FOR
THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2016 AND 2015
In
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in deferred tax assets are Federal and State net operating loss
carryforwards of $31,770,841 which will expire beginning in 2029. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies
in making this assessment. Based upon our cumulative losses through March 31, 2016, we have provided a valuation allowance reducing
the net realizable benefits of these deductible differences to $0 at March 31, 2016. The amount of the deferred tax
asset considered realizable could change in the near term if projected future taxable income is realized. Due to significant
changes in the Company's ownership, the Company's future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited.
A
reconciliation between the actual income tax expense and income taxes computed by applying the statutory Federal and state income
tax rates to income from continuing operations before income taxes is as follows:

13: LOSS PER SHARE
ASC
260-10-45 requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) computations.
We compute basic EPS by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of income (loss) available to common stockholders and EPS is based
on the underlying premise that all income after payment of dividends on preferred shares is available to and will be distributed
to the common stockholders. As the Company is in a loss position during the year ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, there is no dilutive
effect included. The net loss per share was $0.154 and $0.006 for March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Natural
Gas and Oil Reserve Quantities
The
following schedule contains estimates of proved natural gas and oil reserves attributable to the Company. Proved reserves are
estimated quantities of natural gas and oil that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable
in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are those which
are expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Reserves are stated in thousand
cubic feet (mcf) of natural gas and barrels (bbl) of oil. Geological and engineering estimates of proved natural gas and oil reserves
at one point in time are highly interpretive, inherently imprecise and subject to ongoing revisions that may be substantial in
amount. Although every reasonable effort is made to ensure that the reserve estimates are accurate, due to their nature reserve
estimates are generally less precise than other estimates presented in connection with financial statement disclosures.

Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows
The
following schedule presents the standardized measure of estimated discounted future net cash flows from the Company's proved reserves
for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Estimated future cash flows are based on independent reserve data. Because
the standardized measure of future net cash flows was prepared using the prevailing economic conditions existing at March 31,
2016 and 2015, it should be emphasized that such conditions continually change. Accordingly, such information should not serve
as a basis in making any judgment on the potential value of the Company's recoverable reserves or in estimating future results
of operations.

$1.824 and $3.34/mmbtu at March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The oil and gas pricing were calculated using the arithmetic
average of the price on the first day of each month that was received for each property during the previous fiscal
year. These prices were held constant throughout the economic life of the properties. Previous year run
checks were used to determine the actual prices received.

The
Company has reviewed the subsequent event through the date of this report. Below are our subsequent events:
On
January 29, 2018 the Company executed a Promissory Note between the Company and Carebourn Capital, LLC in the amount of $230,000.
On
March 21, 2018 the Board of Directors and a majority of the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation
to change the Company's name to Groove Botanicals, Inc. We filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the State
of Nevada on May 18, 2018. Our Company’s new name reflects our new corporate direction as a consumer health products company
dedicated to improving people’s health and well-being. We will assemble a portfolio of assets via royalty agreements, equity
investments, and licensing agreements, as well as develop our own proprietary CB3 skin care products. Our products will contain
premium hemp extracts with a broad range of cannabinoids, including cannabidiol (CBD). CBD is a cannabinoid compound naturally
derived from the hemp plant. It is not a drug and has no intoxicating effects, but has a long history of natural uses. Recent
breakthroughs in research have shown the powerful health benefits of CBD on the body. CBD is also rich in vitamins A, B, D, and
E, antioxidants, and fatty acids, all of which dramatically improve skin health. When applied topically to the skin, CBD has been
shown to reduce inflammation, retain skin moisture levels, reduce cellular damage, inhibit oil production leading to breakouts,
and protect skin from free radicals that damage collagen and elastin.
