−Removed: Much of the information included in this quarterly report
−Removed: includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward looking
−Removed: Such forward looking statements include any projections or
−Removed: estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business
−Removed: While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon
−Removed: which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment
−Removed: regarding the
−Removed: direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.
−Removed: Such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below.
−Removed: We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual
−Removed: results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements".
−Removed: Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below.
−Removed: The possession, cultivation and distribution of marijuana may under certain circumstances lead to prosecution under United States federal law, which may cause our business to fail.
−Removed: Our planned medical marihuana (“
−Removed: MMJ ”) business is structured to comply with the Canadian Medical Marihuana Purposes Regulations (“
−Removed: MMPR ”), which permits the sale of medical marihuana in Canada under federal
−Removed: In the United Sates, 23 states, including our state of incorporation, Nevada, have approved and regulate medical marihuana use.
−Removed: Similarly, two states have approved and regulate non-medical marihuana use by adults.
−Removed: However, it remains
−Removed: illegal under United States federal law to grow, cultivate or sell marijuana for any purpose.
−Removed: In that regard, the United States Justice Department has released the COLE Memorandum of 8-29-13 which states that the Justice Department will not
−Removed: prioritize the prosecution of marihuana related activities authorized under state laws provided that state authorities implement and enforce strict guidelines to ensure the health, safety and security of the public.
−Removed: Where the individual state
−Removed: framework fails to protect the public, the Justice Department has instructed federal prosecutors to enforce the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.
−Removed: The Department of Justice has not, to our knowledge, published any policy or guidance specifically
−Removed: regarding the participation of a United States corporation in lawful medical marihuana related activities outside of the United States.
−Removed: Although our planned medical marihuana business is federally sanctioned in Canada and not contrary to the public policy or laws of our state of incorporation, neither state law nor Canadian federal law provides protection against federal prosecution
−Removed: in the United States, which remains at the discretion of the Department of Justice.
−Removed: Although, in light of the COLE Memorandum, we do not anticipate that we will be targeted for prosecution by the Department of Justice, if the Department of Justice
−Removed: uses its discretion to prosecute our company for a violation of the Controlled Substances Act, the resulting civil or criminal consequences will have a material adverse effect on our business, and may cause our business to fail.
−Removed: The failure to become licensed by Health Canada for the production of medical marihuana production may cause us to abandon our business plan.
−Removed: There is no assurance that any of our Company's joint ventures will be approved by Health Canada or will be granted licensed producer status.
−Removed: Our failure to obtain a license from Health Canada would materially and adversely affect our company's
−Removed: operations, and we would need to revise or abandon our business plan accordingly.
−Removed: Our Company has no operating history and an evolving business model .which raises doubt about our ability to achieve profitability or obtain financing.
−Removed: Our Company has no operating history.
−Removed: Moreover, our business model is still evolving, subject to change, and will rely on the cooperation and participation of our joint venture partners.
−Removed: Our Company's ability to continue as a going concern is
−Removed: dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operations, has and we no proven history of performance, earnings or success.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that we will achieve profitability or obtain future
−Removed: Uncertain demand for medical marijuana products may cause our business plan to be unprofitable.
−Removed: Demand for medical marijuana is dependent on a number of social, political and economic factors that are beyond the control of our company.
−Removed: While we believe that demand for medical marijuana will continue to grow in Canada, there is no assurance
−Removed: that such increase in demand will happen or that our joint ventures will be profitable.
−Removed: We may not acquire market share or achieve profits due to competition in the medical marijuana industry
−Removed: Our Company operates in a highly competitive marketplace with various competitors.
−Removed: Increased competition may result in reduced gross margins and/or loss of market share, either of which would seriously harm its business and results of operations.
−Removed: Management cannot be certain that the company will be able to compete against current or future competitors or that competitive pressure will not seriously harm its business.
−Removed: Some of the company's competitors are much larger and have greater access to capital,
−Removed: sales, marketing and other resources.
−Removed: These competitors may be able to respond
−Removed: more rapidly to new regulations or devote greater resources to the development
−Removed: and promotion of their business model than the company can.
−Removed: Furthermore, some of
−Removed: these competitors may make acquisitions or establish co-operative relationships
−Removed: among themselves or with third parties in the industry to increase their ability
−Removed: to rapidly gain market share.
−Removed: Conflicts of interest between our Company and our directors
−Removed: and officers may result in a loss of business opportunity.
−Removed: Our directors and officers are not obligated to commit their
−Removed: full time and attention to our business and, accordingly, they may encounter a
−Removed: conflict of interest in allocating their time between our future operations and
−Removed: those of other businesses.
−Removed: In the course of their other business activities,
−Removed: they may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be
−Removed: appropriate for presentation to us as well as other entities to which they owe a
−Removed: fiduciary duty.
−Removed: As a result, they may have conflicts of interest in determining
−Removed: to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
−Removed: also in the future become affiliated with entities, engaged in business
−Removed: activities similar to those we intend to conduct.
−Removed: In general, officers and directors of a corporation are
−Removed: required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:
−Removed: the corporation could financially undertake the
−Removed: the opportunity is within the corporations line of
−Removed: it would be unfair to the corporation and its
−Removed: stockholders not to bring the opportunity to the attention of the
−Removed: We plan to adopt a code of ethics that obligates our directors,
−Removed: officers and employees to disclose potential conflicts of interest and prohibits
−Removed: those persons from engaging in such transactions without our consent.
−Removed: our intentions, conflicts of interest may nevertheless arise which may deprive
−Removed: our company of a business opportunity, which may impede the successful
−Removed: development of our business and negatively impact the value of an investment in
−Removed: The speculative nature of our business plan may result in
−Removed: the loss of your investment.
−Removed: Our MMJ operations are in the start-up stage only, and are
−Removed: We may not be successful in implementing our business plan to become
−Removed: There may be less demand for our services than we anticipate.
−Removed: is no assurance that our business will succeed and you may lose your entire
−Removed: Changing consumer preferences may cause our planned products
−Removed: to be unsuccessful in the marketplace.
−Removed: The decision of a potential client to undergo an environmental
−Removed: audit or review may be based on ethical or commercial reasons.
−Removed: instances, or with certain businesses, there may be no assurance that an
−Removed: environmental review will result in any cost savings or increased revenues.
−Removed: such, unless the ethical consideration is also a material factor, there may be
−Removed: no incentive for such businesses to undertake an environmental review.
−Removed: in consumer and commercial preferences, or trends, toward or away from
−Removed: environmental issues may impact on businesses decisions to undergo
−Removed: environmental reviews.
−Removed: The MMJ sector offers many choices for MMJ patients and
−Removed: their can be no assurance that the product supplied by our company and or its
−Removed: partners will be successful in market penetration.
−Removed: General economic factors may negatively impact the market
−Removed: for our planned products.
−Removed: The willingness of businesses to spend time and money on energy
−Removed: efficiency may be dependent upon general economic conditions;
−Removed: and any material
−Removed: downturn may reduce the likelihood of businesses incurring costs toward what
−Removed: some businesses may consider a discretionary expense item.
−Removed: Willingness by MMJ
−Removed: patients to continue to buy MMJ products may be dependent upon general economic
−Removed: conditions and any material downturn may reduce the potential profitability of
−Removed: the MMJ business sector.
−Removed: A wide range of economic and logistical factors may
−Removed: negatively impact our operating results.
−Removed: Our operating results will be affected by a wide variety of
−Removed: factors that could materially affect revenues and profitability, including the
−Removed: timing and cancellation of customer orders and projects, competitive pressures
−Removed: on pricing, availability of personnel, and market acceptance of our services.
−Removed: a result, we may experience material fluctuations in future operating results on
−Removed: a quarterly and annual basis which could materially affect our business,
−Removed: financial condition and operating results.
−Removed: Loss of consumer confidence in our company or in our
−Removed: industry may harm our business.
−Removed: Demand for our services may be adversely affected if consumers lose confidence in the quality of our services or the industry’s practices.
−Removed: Adverse publicity may discourage businesses from buying our services and could have a material adverse
−Removed: effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: Unethical business practices may compromise the growth and development of our business.
−Removed: The production and sale of medical marihuana is an emerging industry in which business practices are not yet standardized and are subject to frequent scrutiny and evaluation by federal, state, provincial, and municipal authorities, academics, and
−Removed: media outlets, among others, Although we intend to develop our business in accordance with best ethical practices, we may suffer negative publicity if we, our partners, contractors, or customers are found to have engaged in any environmentally,
−Removed: insensitive practices or other business practices that are viewed as unethical.
−Removed: The failure to secure customers may cause our operations to fail.
−Removed: We currently have no long-term agreements with any customers.
−Removed: Many of our services may be provided on a “onetime”
−Removed: Accordingly, we will require new customers on a continuous basis to sustain our operations.
−Removed: We could be required to enter into fixed price contracts which will expose us to significant market risk.
−Removed: Fixed price contracts require the service provider to perform all agreed services for a specified lump-sum amount.
−Removed: We anticipate a material percentage of our services will be performed on a fixed price basis.
−Removed: Fixed price contracts expose us to some
−Removed: significant risks, including under-estimation of costs, ambiguities in specifications, unforeseen costs or difficulties, and delays beyond our control.
−Removed: These risks could lead to losses on contracts which may be substantial and which could adversely
−Removed: affect the results of our operations.
−Removed: If we fail to effectively and efficiently advertise, the growth of our business may be compromised.
−Removed: The future growth and profitability of our MMJ business will be dependent in part on the effectiveness and efficiency of our advertising and promotional expenditures, including our ability to (i) create greater awareness of our services, (ii)
−Removed: determine the appropriate creative message and media mix for future advertising expenditures, and (iii) effectively manage advertising and promotional costs in order to maintain acceptable operating margins.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that we will
−Removed: experience benefits from advertising and promotional expenditures in the future.
−Removed: In addition, no assurance can be given that our planned advertising and promotional expenditures will result in increased revenues, will generate levels of service and
−Removed: name awareness or that we will be able to manage such advertising and promotional expenditures on a cost-effective basis.
−Removed: Our success is dependent on our unproven ability to attract qualified personnel.
−Removed: We will depend on our ability to attract, retain and motivate our management team, consultants and other employees.
−Removed: There is strong competition for qualified technical and management personnel in the MMJ sector, and it is expected that such
−Removed: competition will increase.
−Removed: Our planned growth will place increased demands on our existing resources and will likely require the addition of technical personnel and the development of additional expertise by existing personnel.
−Removed: There can be no
−Removed: assurance that our compensation packages will be sufficient to ensure the continued availability of qualified personnel who are necessary for the development of our business.
−Removed: Without additional financing to develop our business plan, our business may fail.
−Removed: Because we have generated only minimal revenue from our business and cannot anticipate when we will be able to generate meaningful revenue from our business, we will need to raise additional funds to conduct and grow our business.
−Removed: currently have sufficient financial resources to completely fund the development of our business plan.
−Removed: We anticipate that we will need to raise further financing.
−Removed: We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no
−Removed: assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required.
−Removed: The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital.
−Removed: Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing
−Removed: security-holders.
−Removed: We may not be able to obtain all of the licenses necessary to operate our business, which would cause our business to fail.
−Removed: Our operations may require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities to build and install alternative energy systems or to conduct energy retrofits and build MMJ operations.
−Removed: We believe that we will be able to obtain all necessary
−Removed: licenses and permits under applicable laws and regulations for our operations and believe we will be able to comply in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits.
−Removed: However, such licenses and permits are subject to change in various circumstances.
−Removed: There can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain or maintain all
−Removed: necessary licenses and permits.
−Removed: Changes in environmental regulation may result in increased
−Removed: or insupportable financial burden on our company.
−Removed: We believe that we currently comply with existing environmental
−Removed: laws and regulations affecting our proposed operations.
−Removed: While there are no
−Removed: currently known proposed changes in these laws or regulations, significant
−Removed: changes have affected the industry in the past and additional changes may occur
−Removed: in the future.
−Removed: Our operations may be subject to environmental laws,
−Removed: regulations and rules promulgated from time to time by government.
−Removed: certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental
−Removed: impact assessments.
−Removed: Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that means
−Removed: stricter standards and enforcement.
−Removed: Fines and penalties for non-compliance are
−Removed: more stringent.
−Removed: Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a
−Removed: heightened degree of responsibility for companies, directors, officers and
−Removed: The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has
−Removed: potential to reduce the profitability of operations.
−Removed: We intend to comply with
−Removed: all environmental regulations in the United States and Canada.
−Removed: If we are unable to recruit or retain qualified personnel,
−Removed: it could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and stock
−Removed: Our success depends in large part on the continued services of
−Removed: our executive officers and third party relationships.
−Removed: We currently do not have
−Removed: key person insurance on these individuals.
−Removed: The loss of these people, especially
−Removed: without advance notice, could have a material adverse impact on our results of
−Removed: operations and our stock price.
−Removed: It is also very important that we be able to
−Removed: attract and retain highly skilled personnel, including technical personnel, to
−Removed: accommodate our exploration plans and to replace personnel who leave.
−Removed: Competition for qualified personnel can be intense, and there are a limited
−Removed: number of people with the requisite knowledge and experience.
−Removed: conditions, we could be unable to recruit, train, and retain employees.
−Removed: cannot attract and retain qualified personnel, it could have a material adverse
−Removed: impact on our operating results and stock price.
−Removed: If we fail to effectively manage our growth our future
−Removed: business results could be harmed and our managerial and operational resources
−Removed: may be strained.
−Removed: As we proceed with our business plan, we expect to experience
−Removed: significant and rapid growth in the scope and complexity of our business.
−Removed: will need to add staff to market our services, manage operations, handle sales
−Removed: and marketing efforts and perform finance and accounting functions.
−Removed: required to hire a broad range of additional personnel in order to successfully
−Removed: advance our operations.
−Removed: This growth is likely to place a strain on our
−Removed: management and operational resources.
−Removed: The failure to develop and implement
−Removed: effective systems, or to hire and retain sufficient personnel for the
−Removed: performance of all of the functions necessary to effectively service and manage
−Removed: our potential business, or the failure to manage growth effectively, could have
−Removed: a materially adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
−Removed: We have had negative cash flows from operations.
−Removed: To date we have had negative cash flows from operations and we
−Removed: have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet
−Removed: our cash requirements and have incurred losses totaling approximately $1,171,591
−Removed: for the nine month period ending July 31, 2014, and cumulative losses of
−Removed: $6,229,268 to July 31, 2014.
−Removed: As of July 31, 2014 we had working capital of
−Removed: $243,246 as a result of past financing activities.
−Removed: We do expect positive cash
−Removed: flow from operations at some point;
−Removed: however there is no assurance that actual
−Removed: cash requirements will not exceed our estimates, or that our sales projections
−Removed: will be realized as estimated.
−Removed: In particular, additional capital may be required
−Removed: in the event that:
−Removed: - drilling and completion costs for
−Removed: further wells increase beyond our expectations;
−Removed: - commodity prices for
−Removed: our production decline beyond our expectations;
−Removed: - production levels do
−Removed: not meet our expectations;
−Removed: - we incur higher well plug and abandonment
−Removed: costs than currently expected;
−Removed: - we encounter greater costs associated
−Removed: with general and administrative expenses or offering costs.
−Removed: The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could
−Removed: adversely affect our ability to meet our business plans.
−Removed: We will depend almost exclusively on outside capital to pay for
−Removed: the continued exploration and development of our properties.
−Removed: capital may include the sale of additional stock and/or commercial borrowing.
−Removed: Capital may not continue to be available if necessary to meet these continuing
−Removed: development costs or, if the capital is available,
−Removed: that it will be on terms acceptable to us.
−Removed: The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders.
−Removed: Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be
−Removed: available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
−Removed: If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations for our business, the result of which would be that
−Removed: our stockholders would lose some or all of their investment.
−Removed: A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.
−Removed: A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital.
−Removed: Because our operations have been primarily financed through the sale of equity
−Removed: securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our continued operations.
−Removed: Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would force us to reallocate funds from other
−Removed: planned uses and would have a significant negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations.
−Removed: If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional
−Removed: capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.
−Removed: We have a history of losses and fluctuating operating results.
−Removed: From inception through to July 31, 2014, we have incurred aggregate losses of approximately $6,229,268.
−Removed: Our loss from operations for the nine month period ended July 31, 2014 was $1,171,591.
−Removed: There is no assurance that we will operate
−Removed: profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future.
−Removed: In addition, our operating results in the future may be subject to significant fluctuations due to many factors not within our control, such as the unpredictability of world prices and
−Removed: market for oil and gas, the demand for our production, and the level of competition and general economic conditions.
−Removed: If we cannot generate positive cash flows in the future, or raise sufficient financing to continue our normal operations, then we
−Removed: may be forced to scale down or even close our operations.
−Removed: Until such time as we generate significant revenues, we expect an increase in development costs and operating costs.
−Removed: Consequently, we expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative
−Removed: cash flow until we receive significant commercial production from our properties.
−Removed: Our operating results will be affected by a wide variety of factors that could materially affect revenues and profitability, including the timing and cancellation of customer orders and projects, competitive pressures on pricing, availability of
−Removed: personnel, governmental changes and market acceptance of our services.
−Removed: As a result, we may experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly and annual basis which could materially affect our business, financial condition
−Removed: and operating results.
−Removed: We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations.
−Removed: We have limited history of revenues from operations and have limited significant tangible assets.
−Removed: We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably.
−Removed: The success of our company is
−Removed: significantly dependent on a successful acquisition, drilling, completion and production program.
−Removed: Our company’s operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising
−Removed: from the absence of a significant operating history.
−Removed: We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves, extract the reserves economically, and/or operate on a profitable basis.
−Removed: Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's "Penny Stock" regulations, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
−Removed: Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per
−Removed: share, subject to certain exceptions.
−Removed: Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors." The
−Removed: term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse.
−Removed: penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks
−Removed: and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.
−Removed: The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the
−Removed: compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
−Removed: The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson
−Removed: compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation.
−Removed: In addition, the penny stock rules require that
−Removed: prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement
−Removed: to the transaction.
−Removed: These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules.
−Removed: Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the
−Removed: ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities.
−Removed: We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
−Removed: The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
−Removed: In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that
−Removed: Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and
−Removed: other information.
−Removed: Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers.
−Removed: FINRA requirements make it more difficult for
−Removed: broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
−Removed: Trading in our common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board is limited and sporadic making it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments.
−Removed: Our common shares are currently listed for public trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.
−Removed: The trading price of our common shares has been subject to wide fluctuations.
−Removed: Trading prices of our common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors,
−Removed: many of which will be beyond our control.
−Removed: The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business
−Removed: There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common shares will be matched or maintained.
−Removed: These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common
−Removed: shares, regardless of our operating performance.
−Removed: In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted.
−Removed: Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of
−Removed: management's attention and resources.
−Removed: Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.
−Removed: Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of its development.
−Removed: We have largely been engaged in the business of exploring and until only recently attempting to develop
−Removed: commercial reserves of oil and gas.
−Removed: Only our Mississippi properties have commenced production.
−Removed: Accordingly, we have generated revenues but we have not realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will generate
−Removed: significant revenues or realize any profits in the short term.
−Removed: Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon attaining adequate levels of internally generated revenues through locating and developing economic reserves of
−Removed: oil and gas, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth herein.
−Removed: Since we have not generated significant revenues, we will have to raise additional monies through either securing industry reserve based debt financing, or the sale
−Removed: of our equity securities or debt, or combinations of the above in order to continue our business operations.
−Removed: As our properties are in the exploration and early development stage there can be no assurance that we will establish commercial discoveries and/or profitable production programs on these properties.
−Removed: Exploration for economic reserves of oil and gas is subject to a number of risk factors.
−Removed: Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing oil and/or gas wells.
−Removed: Our Mississippi properties are in the production and development
−Removed: The potential profitability of oil and gas ventures depends upon factors beyond the control of our company.
−Removed: The potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control.
−Removed: For instance, world prices and markets for oil and gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging,
−Removed: controls, or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social, and economic environments.
−Removed: Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for
−Removed: production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project.
−Removed: These changes and events may materially affect our financial performance.
−Removed: Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations.
−Removed: A productive well may become uneconomic in the event water or other deleterious substances are encountered which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well.
−Removed: addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances.
−Removed: The marketability of oil and gas, which may be acquired or discovered, will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control.
−Removed: These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection.
−Removed: These factors cannot be accurately
−Removed: predicted and the combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.
−Removed: Competition in the oil and gas industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring leases.
−Removed: The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive.
−Removed: We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staff.
−Removed: Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds.
−Removed: We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be raised
−Removed: or that any projected work will be completed.
−Removed: Our budget does not anticipate the potential acquisition of additional acreage in Mississippi although this may change at any time without notice.
−Removed: This acreage may not become available or if it is
−Removed: available for leasing, that we may not be successful in acquiring the leases.
−Removed: There are other competitors that have operations in these areas and the presence of these competitors could adversely affect our ability to acquire additional leases.
−Removed: Quality of Service/Industry Practices
−Removed: Demand for our services may be adversely affected if consumers lose confidence in the quality of our services or the industry’s practices.
−Removed: Adverse publicity may discourage businesses from buying our services and could have a material adverse
−Removed: effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: Our producing oil and gas wells are located in the floodplain of a river and are subject to seasonal flood conditions.
−Removed: Our most significant wells are the producing oil wells PP F-12-1, PP F-12-3, PP F-12-4(currently shut-in), and PP F-12-5(currently shut-in);
−Removed: (and PP F-12-7 waiting to be completed) are located within the Belmont Lake oil field which is located in
−Removed: the Palmetto Point region.
−Removed: The Belmont Lake oil field is onshore, as are all of our company’s wells, but located in a flood plain of the Mississippi River which forces seasonal constraints on certain field activities.
−Removed: We have suffered repeated
−Removed: delays in the development of this oil field due to the seasonal flooding, and we could experience additional development delays in the future.
−Removed: OUR COMPANY HAS NO OTHER PRODUCING WELLS.
−Removed: Seasonal river-flooding conditions can negatively impact the
−Removed: viability of our oil production and thus, our ability to generate revenue.
−Removed: The marketability of natural resources and MMJ will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control, which may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.
−Removed: The marketability of natural resources, which may be acquired or discovered by us, will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control.
−Removed: These factors include market fluctuations in oil and gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of
−Removed: natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection regulations.
