Going Concern	NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18,612,663 at June 30, 2016, a net loss of $4,657,589 and net cash used in operating activities of $123,357 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has historically utilized production revenues and the proceeds from the private sales of common stock and convertible debt instruments to fund its operating expenses. The Company’s negative cash flows from operations, working capital deficit, and its projected costs of capital improvements for oil and gas wells raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has not yet established an adequate ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. In order to continue as a going concern, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through increased sales of oil and gas, providing additional contract drilling and operating services for the development of proven undeveloped shallow oil projects and by the sale of debt and equity securities in both public and private transactions. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described above, restructuring its current debt and eventually securing additional sources of financing and attaining consistent profitable operations. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18,612,663 at June 30, 2016, a net loss of $4,657,589 and net cash used in operating activities of $123,357 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Company’s negative cash flows from operations, working capital deficit, and its projected costs of capital improvements for oil and gas wells raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
