ITEM 1 and ITEM 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
In October 2006, Emerald Energy Partners LLC purchased a 22.275% interest in two contiguous oil and gas properties in Brown County Texas, the West Thrifty Unit and the Quita Field. In December 2006, Xtreme Technologies, Inc. acquired Emerald Energy Partners, LLC and changed its name to Xtreme Oil & Gas, Inc.
Xtreme Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in Washington in 2003 and focused on telecommunications technologies. By early 2006 that business ceased operations and had no assets, becoming a shell company at that time. Immediately prior to its acquisition of Emerald Energy Partners, LLC, Xtreme Technologies, Inc. effected a one for 500 reverse stock split leaving 185,516 shares outstanding. Xtreme Technologies, Inc. acquired Emerald Energy Partners, LLC for 7,960,000 shares of Common Stock.
The acquisition of Emerald Energy Partners, LLC is treated for accounting purposes as an acquisition of Xtreme Technologies, Inc. by Emerald Energy Partners and a re-capitalization of the limited liability company. With the acquisition of Emerald Energy Partners LLC, we began to acquire and to develop additional oil and gas properties.
In March 2009, we reincorporated through a merger in Nevada, a merger that was ratified in December 2009 by 73.9% of the holders of common stock, an action we believed appropriate to approve the measure. Management sought the approval of the merger by at least two-thirds of the holders of common stock.
In May 2010, we sold our interest, approximately 50.78%, in Small Cap Strategies, Inc., a corporation whose common stock is registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The purchaser, Bryce Knight, a principal in that company, exchanged 1,160,000 shares of our stock owned by the purchaser for our interest. In addition, we agreed to pay purchaser an additional $35,000 worth of accounts payable. Mr. Knight was never an officer, director, employee or principle of Xtreme Oil & Gas. The terms of the sales were negotiated during April 2010 by telephone and email exchange between Mr. Knight and Mr. DeVito and were approved by our Board of Directors in May 2010. We had acquired Small Cap Strategies, Inc. in July 2008.
Recent Events
On April 15, 2013, Xtreme Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Xtreme” or the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Torchlight Energy, Inc. (“Torchlight”) related to Xtreme’s Kansas, or Smokey Hills, prospect and all of the Company’s properties in Oklahoma.
Torchlight shall acquire one-half of the Company’s interest in the Smokey Hills prospect and assume the Company’s obligation to complete the first well drilled on the prospect plus additional costs previously billed to Xtreme by the operator. Torchlight will assume Xtreme’s obligation under its working interest in the prospect to drill the planned second well.
With respect to the Oklahoma properties, the Company shall convey half of its working interest and all related equipment in the Lenhart well and shall acquire all of the Company’s interest in the Robinson and Hancock wells. Torchlight shall also acquire 90% of the Overriding Royalty Interest in the Company’s Salt Water Disposal Well and Facility, as defined, but such interest is junior to the interests of investors in the well. In its discretion, Torchlight will pay the cost to re-enter the Lenhart well.
These transactions provide the resources to develop further wells that working interest owners in the various prospects own.
Payments to the Company, other than the $100,000 payable upon execution of the agreement, roughly total $1,200,000 depending upon certain costs assumed by Torchlight.
The agreement also grants to Torchlight the option to acquire for $4,000,000 in Torchlight Common Stock the balance of the Company’s interest in the Smokey Hills prospect if the first well drilled reaches 300 barrels of equivalent per day. Torchlight also has the option to acquire the balance of the working interest in the Lenhart prospect for $1,000,000 in Torchlight Common Stock should that well reach 50 barrels of oil equivalent production per day. Both production goals must reach the level of defined production within 30 days of completion.
The Company shall continue development opportunities of its largest prospect by asset valuation, the West Thrift Units.

Recent Events - continued
On March 28, 2013, the Company formed a committee to advise the Company with respect to the Torchlight transaction discussed above. The committee consists of three stockholders of the Company, Brandon Chabner, Keith Houser, and Ben Doherty.
As part of the review of the Torchlight transaction, Torchlight had asked that Mr. McAndrew act as a consultant to Torchlight, necessitating a release by the Company of the Mr. McAndrew’s covenant not to compete with the Company. The committee approved that release. Accordingly, though Mr. McAndrew will remain the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and an employee of the Company, he will act as a consultant to Torchlight.
Our Approach to the Business
We believe there are opportunities to acquire properties that formerly produced oil and gas, similar to the West Thrifty, or are now operating under marginal circumstances and can be redeveloped for profitable operation using newer production techniques. These opportunities are primarily the result of neglect or abandonment of oil and gas producing properties owned by persons lacking the capital and other resources necessary to bring the properties back into production and develop recoverable hydrocarbons that remain. When we identify such a prospect we determine whether there is reason to believe the prospect has remaining hydrocarbons yet to be produced, determine a value for the prospect, and, if warranted under all the circumstances, pursue acquisition of the prospect.
In addition, we plan to drill and operate saltwater disposal wells and began our first saltwater disposal well in the first half of 2013 with Torchlight’s acquisition of our saltwater disposal well. We do not anticipate additional saltwater disposal wells in the foreseeable future. We have completed drilling our first well and have placed the well into operation.
Our primary focus is on older mature production areas where production histories, reservoir evaluations, and other data on the properties are available. Such information is obtained either from the entity that owns the property or from public records of governmental agencies that regulate oil and gas producing activities. Well logs available on the properties facilitate the calculation of an estimate of initial oil or gas volume in place, while decline curves from recorded production history facilitate our judgment of hydrocarbons that can be recovered. We use this information to identify and value potential acquisitions, and to develop a plan for developing and improving production on properties acquired.
After acquisition of a property, we perform an extensive field study either in-house, thereafter submitting it to outside review, or commission an independent party to conduct a study, which is then reviewed by the in-house staff. The objective is to decide upon the most cost-efficient and operationally efficient way to produce the hydrocarbons remaining and recoverable on that property. Xtreme applied this process of evaluation and purchase to the acquisition of its current working interest in oil and gas properties, such as the West Thrifty, Lionheart, and Smoky Hill fields.
Historically, Xtreme has focused its acquisition and development activities in Oklahoma and Texas but in 2011 expanded into Central Kansas, and Xtreme given the Torchlight acquisition anticipates discontinuing operations in those states. Nevertheless, should Xtreme receive unsolicited proposals on the acquisition of properties in other states that are attractive, we will investigate and, if warranted, make an effort to acquire an interest in such properties at an acceptable price.
Our Chief Executive Officer, Willard McAndrew, leads our evaluation process, consulting with professionals engaged by the Company. Our Chief Operating Officer, Nicholas DeVito, manages the development and operation of properties with our Chief Executive Officer, contracting with third parties to drill a prospect. We presently do not have an engineering staff nor do we have employees engaged in the daily operations and drilling of wells. In the near future, we do not anticipate hiring additional professionals or others to evaluate, drill or operate our wells. We expect to hire independent contractors to perform these functions on a project by project basis.
Generally, Xtreme will acquire properties for the long term and will not look to sell except through drilling joint ventures and partnerships with other investors; although circumstances could arise where Xtreme may elect to re-balance its portfolio by selling or trading lesser producing properties in order to redeploy capital to a better opportunity in other areas of activity. Also, Xtreme plans to operate its own properties and it does not expect to participate in any projects as a passive investor. We expect that drilling projects for the foreseeable future will be financed by issuing debt, selling Common Stock or by selling interest through joint ventures or partnerships with additional investors with Xtreme maintaining approximately a 50% working interest in the property.
Xtreme holds working interests in its oil and gas properties and is, therefore, responsible with other working interest owners, if any, for the payment of its proportionate share of the operating expenses of the wells. Working interest owners are typically responsible for all lease operating and production expenses. Royalty owners and over-riding royalty owners receive a percentage of gross oil and gas production revenue for a particular lease and are not responsible for the costs of operating the lease.
ITEM 1 and ITEM 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES - continued
Our Approach to the Business - continued
As of December 31, 2012, the Company owns working interest on 10,348 surface acres containing 67 oil wells and drilling locations in Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
Current Oil and Natural Gas Projects
We are in the process of reviewing our portfolio of oil and natural gas properties. We believe that the application of advanced drilling, completion and stimulation technologies combined with a strong commodity pricing environment could make profitable the development of oil and gas prospects that were formerly productive or are now operating under marginal circumstances.
As of December 31, 2012, we owned and operated three locations in Texas and Oklahoma and we are a non-operator in Kansas. Several of these fields have been drilled but are no longer producing while we are determining the final drilling locations and technological approaches for the others.
West Thrifty Unit/Quita Field
In October 2006, Emerald Energy acquired a 22.275% interest, a 15.592% net revenue interest, in the West Thrifty Unit (the “WTU”) and the Quita Field (the “Quita”). The WTU is located in Brown County, Texas, on 1,272 acres and the Quita is 400 contiguous surface acres adjacent to the WTU. The WTU has 53 wells, all drilled to the Fry Sand, a producing zone located at a depth of approximately 1,300 feet, with the Quita having ten wells, all drilled to deeper formations, the Caddo and Ellenberger formations.
We acquired the balance of the WTU working interest of 77.725% by February 2008. Our 100% working interest was a 65% net revenue interest with two over riding royalties totaling 5% being assigned to two of the then principals of the Company, one of which was Mr. McAndrew, 2.5% of which has since been reacquired by the Company. As a result of the same transaction, we acquired a 100% working interest in the Quita. For these transactions we paid 6,860,000 shares of stock and valued our working interest in the West Thrifty Unit at $5,034,400.
We intend to redevelop these two fields as existing wells having been produced over several years and are now marginally producing, if at all. We plan to continue our water flooding operations in different parts of the fields which will require a significant capital investment to bring these new operations to fruition. We will be injecting water into older wells to drive production to other existing wells, anticipating about 20% to 30% of the existing wells being productive. We also performed some development work in the Quita field in 2008 using chemical tracers to determine fluid flow patterns. While we achieved an increase in production to 30 barrels of oil per day plus almost 1,000 barrels of water by flooding with 1,000 barrels of water per day, we believe that the initial development plan over stimulated the field and did not maximize the prospect’s potential. Our plan is to re-enter the field using less aggressive water flooding and chemical production techniques.
Although the WTU has 53 well sites, we anticipate developing the prospect using similar waterflood techniques where four wells would be used for injecting water to drive production to the fifth. We placed this first pattern into service and achieved 5-7 barrels of production per day before temporarily ceasing operations during late 2012.
During the fourth quarter 2010, we raised approximately $997,500 for 24.9% working interest in a five well drilling program. These funds were recorded as deposits on our balance sheet until the project was completed in October 2011. Upon completion these deposits less expenses now show as revenue from drilling projects on our statement of operations.
The Company is the Operator of the WTU and the Quita Field.
Xtreme Operating Co., LLC.
We acquired I.R.A. Oil and Gas, LLC in October 2007 and renamed it Xtreme Operating Co., LLC. Xtreme Operating Company is licensed by the State of Texas to act as an operator of oil and gas properties; we conduct our drilling operations in Texas through this entity.
Lionheart
On October 1, 2008, we acquired the Lionheart property located in Logan County, OK. We recognized income from assets sales $1.8 million in 2009 from selling interests in this drilling project. In the summer of 2009, we began drilling on the prospect and in January 2010 began modest production on the prospect with plans to increase this production by using an acidizing and fracturing methodology. We successfully raised $1,290,000 for the drilling and completion of this well and were producing an average of 75 barrels per day of oil and 250 mcf of gas beginning in January 2010 and continued production until February 17, 2010 when a vendor failed to properly secure their equipment and damaged the wellbore. We settled our disputes with those vendors in March 2012. Production was two mcf of gas per day and is now zero. Initial repairs were completed to the well in June 2010. We are currently evaluating the prospect for its future utility which includes reentering the existing wellbore to produce oil and gas from other zones or converting it to a Saltwater Disposal facility. No determination has been made yet on which direction we will proceed. See Item 3. “Legal Proceedings”
ITEM 1 and ITEM 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES - continued
Current Oil and Natural Gas Projects - continued
The Company is the Operator of the Lionheart property, and Mr. McAndrew has a 2.6% overriding royalty interest in the prospect.
Oil Creek
In March, 2008 we acquired the Oil Creek property, located in McLain County, OK. We drilled and completed this well under contract with a third party. We purchased a 10% working interest, retained a 12.5% carried interest, retained a 10% geological and generation interest and a 12.5% back-end after payout interest in this property. Within the Area of Mutual Interest (AMI) we are to receive these same terms on any other projects. See Item 3. Legal Proceedings. We were successful in raising $1,800,000 for the drilling and completion of this well and it has produced over $1,000,000 in revenue during 2009, 2010 and 2011 of which 15% are attributable to our interest.
The Flint Creek/Oil Creek property was written off at September 30, 2012 as unrecoverable.
Salt Water Disposal Well
We have drilled and completed a saltwater disposal well located east of Oklahoma City, a program financed through a drilling program. We raised approximately $3,291,000 for this drilling program during the fourth quarter 2009 through first quarter 2010. In the first half of 2012, we issued working interests in the Saltwater Disposal Project valued at $2,585,719. These funds are recorded as deposits on our balance sheet until the project is completed. Upon completion these deposits showed as revenue from drilling projects on our statement of operations. We have completed drilling this well and we have placed it into service in March 2012. During the second quarter 2012, the Company began full time operations taking saltwater from multiple water hauling companies in the area. We acquired a 10% working interest from the ADA Energy Services and took over operations on May 29, 2012 in exchange for a 5 cent per barrel of water disposed fee payable upon collecting revenue from disposal customers. We plan to seek an additional site for our second well during 2013.
Smoky Hill, Kansas
We acquired 17.79% of the leases and working interest on 8,516 acres in central Kansas. We agreed to purchase the working interest from Husky Ventures Inc. which will initially be the operator of the project.
This project is part of a larger trend that has produced 23,824,000 barrels of oil from the Maquoketa Dolomite and the Viola Dolomite formations representing only 12% of the original oil in place. It is estimated that the remaining 88% of the oil (217 million barrels of oil) in the larger trend is still in place within the historic production boundaries of these leaseholds.
We plan to produce this formation across different leases covering approximately 8,516 acres in central Kansas, utilizing horizontal drilling techniques. The new planned horizontal wellbores will be strategically placed between old wells where the reserves have not been depleted. It is estimated that an additional 10-15% of the reserves can be produced from this larger formation representing over 20,000,000 barrels of oil, with each horizontal wellbore potentially producing 150,000 to 225,000 barrels of oil over the life of the well.
Husky has completed drilling the first well on this property and is in the process of finishing completion operations. We expect this well to begin production in mid 2013. Once production results are understood, we expect that Husky will proceed to drill additional wells during 2013.
The total cost for the leasehold interest is $1,750,000, largely reimbursement for the land, geologic, engineering and related expenses. To acquire the leasehold and working interests we originally issued 750,000 shares of our Common Stock as a deposit, paid $125,000 and agreed to pay another $125,000 by April 4, 2011. We have since received those shares back and canceled them and completed our payments acquiring a 17.79% interest. We have since sold a 5.79% working interest in the first two wells for $657,000 through February 2012.

ITEM 1 and ITEM 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES - continued
Industry and Economic Factors
In managing its business, Xtreme will face many factors inherent in the oil and gas industry. First and foremost is wide fluctuation of oil and gas prices. Historically, oil and gas markets have been cyclical and volatile, with future price movements difficult to predict. While revenues will be a function of both production and prices, wide swings in prices will have the greatest impact on results of operations.
Historically, the primary components of Xtreme revenues and cash flows were generated through sale of oil and gas and through the issuance of stock. In addition, we sold working interests in Xtreme’s properties. Funds generated from such sales were used to acquire new properties and to fund re-completion and development work on properties owned. Xtreme plans to continue to sell working interests and seek joint venture and other strategic partner arrangements to develop its properties and fund purchases of new properties.
Operations in the oil and gas industry entail significant complexities. Xtreme will continue to focus on acquiring oil and gas properties with histories of production or a significant amount of exploratory history that can serve as the basis for evaluation. Even with the evaluation of persons with significant experience and technical background of substantial production records and geological information, it is not possible to determine conclusively the amount of hydrocarbons present, the cost of development, or the rate at which hydrocarbons may be produced.
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. Xtreme will compete with major and diversified energy companies, independent oil and gas businesses, and individual operators. In addition, the industry as a whole competes with other businesses that supply energy to industrial and commercial end users.
Extensive Federal, state and local regulation of the industry significantly affects operations. In particular, oil and gas activities are subject to stringent environmental regulations. These regulations have increased the costs of planning, designing, drilling, installing, operating, and abandoning oil and gas wells and related facilities. These regulations may become more demanding in the future.
Market for Oil and Gas Production
The market for oil and gas production is regulated by both the state and federal governments. The overall market is mature and, with the exception of gas, all producers in a producing region will receive the same price. Purchasers or gatherers will typically purchase all crude oil offered for sale at posted field prices which are adjusted for quality difference from the “Benchmark”. Benchmark is the price of Saudi Arabian light crude oil employed as the standard on which OPEC price changes have been based. Oil pumped from wells is stored in tanks on site where the purchaser normally picks up the oil at the well site, but in some instances there may be deductions for transportation from the well head to the sales point. Xtreme handles payment disbursements to the working interest owners.
Gas is gathered through connections between our gas wells and the pipeline transmission system. In many cases the pipeline is owned by a gas company or a transmission company. Gas purchasers pay well operators 100 percent of the sale proceeds of gaseous hydrocarbons on or about the 25th of each month for the previous month’s sales. The operator is responsible for all distributions to the working interest and royalty owners. There is no standard price for gas and prices will fluctuate with the seasons and the general market conditions.
The Company had oil and gas sales to one unaffiliated purchaser, Plains Marketing, for the year ended December 31, 2012, which accounts for 100% of our oil and gas sales, excluding our sales of working interest to third parties. We believe that there is a ready market for all oil and gas we produce, with pipelines in place where we would produce gas. Xtreme has no other relationship with this customer. This concentration is a matter of convenience for us rather than necessity, since this customer is an active buyer in the areas where our wells are located and prices between potential customers vary little or not at all because prices are tied to the going market rate for the commodity. If Xtreme lost any customer, management believes Xtreme could quickly replace the lost customer with other buyers paying comparable prices. Consequently, management does not believe the loss of one of Xtreme’s major customers would have a material adverse effect on its business.
Xtreme recognizes revenue from the sale of crude oil when the customer picks-up the oil in our field and sales of gas when it reaches the customer’s point of purchase in the gas transmission system. The amount we recognize for each well is based on the percentage of our net revenue interest in the well, and the remainder is allocated to other persons holding a net revenue interest.
ITEM 1 and ITEM 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES - continued
Competition
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. Our competitors and potential competitors include major oil companies and independent producers of varying sizes, all of which are engaged in the acquisition of producing properties and the exploration and development of prospects. Most of our competitors have greater financial, personnel and other resources than we have. Consequently, they have greater leverage to use in acquiring prospects, hiring personnel and marketing oil and gas. Accordingly, a high degree of competition in these areas is expected to continue.
Governmental Regulation
General
The production and sale of oil and gas is subject to regulation by state, federal, and local authorities. In most areas there are statutory provisions regulating the production of oil and natural gas under which administrative agencies may set allowable rates of production and promulgate rules in connection with the operation and production of such wells, ascertain and determine the reasonable market demand of oil and gas, and adjust allowable rates with respect thereto.
The sale of liquid hydrocarbons was subject to federal regulation under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, which amended various acts, including the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973. These regulations and controls included mandatory restrictions upon the prices at which most domestic crude oil and various petroleum products could be sold. All price controls and restrictions on the sale of crude oil at the wellhead have been withdrawn. It is possible, however, that such controls may be re-imposed in the future but when, if ever, such re-imposition might occur and the effect thereof on us cannot be predicted.
The sale of certain categories of natural gas in interstate commerce is subject to regulation under the Natural Gas Act and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (“NGPA”). Under the NGPA, a comprehensive set of statutory ceiling prices applies to all first sales of natural gas unless the gas is specifically exempt from regulation (i.e., unless the gas is “deregulated”). Administration and enforcement of the NGPA ceiling prices are delegated to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”). In June 1986, FERC issued Order No. 451, which, in general, is designed to provide a higher NGPA ceiling price for certain vintages of old gas. It is possible that we may in the future acquire significant amounts of natural gas subject to NGPA price regulations and/or FERC Order No. 451.
Our operations are subject to extensive and continually changing regulations because legislation affecting the oil and natural gas industry is under constant review for amendment and expansion. Many departments and agencies, both federal and state, are authorized by statute to issue and have issued rules and regulations binding on the oil and natural gas industry and its individual participants. The failure to comply with such rules and regulations can result in large penalties. The regulatory burden on this industry increases our cost of doing business and, therefore, affects our profitability. However, we do not believe that these regulations will have a significant negative impact on our operations with the acquired assets.
Transportation
There are no material permits or licenses required beyond those currently held by us or incident to our operations.
We can make sales of oil, natural gas and condensate at market prices which are not subject to price controls at this time. Condensates are liquid hydrocarbons recovered at the surface that result from condensation due to reduced pressure or temperature of petroleum hydrocarbons existing initially in a gaseous phase in the reservoir. The price that we receive from the sale of these products is affected by our ability to transport and the cost of transporting these products to market. Under applicable laws, FERC regulates the construction of natural gas pipeline facilities, and the rates for transportation of these products in interstate commerce.
Effective as of January 1, 1995, FERC implemented regulations establishing an indexing system for transportation rates for oil. These regulations could increase the cost of transporting oil to the purchaser. We do not believe that these regulations will affect us any differently than other oil producers and marketers with which we compete.
Regulation of Drilling and Production
Our proposed drilling and production operations are subject to regulation under a wide range of state and federal statutes, rules, orders and regulations. Among other matters, these statutes and regulations govern:
• the amounts and types of substances and materials that may be released into the environment,
• the discharge and disposition of waste materials,
• the reclamation and abandonment of wells and facility sites, and
• the remediation of contaminated sites,
In order to comply with these statutes and regulations, we are required to obtain permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds, and reports concerning operations. Texas and Oklahoma laws contain provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and natural gas wells, and the regulation of the spacing, plugging, and abandonment of wells.
ITEM 1 and ITEM 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES - continued
Governmental Regulation - continued
Environmental Regulations
Our operations are affected by the various state, local and federal environmental laws and regulations, including the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act, and Toxic Substances Control Act. The Comprehensive Environmental, Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and comparable state statutes impose strict, joint and several liability on owners and operators of sites and on persons who disposed of or arranged for the disposal of “hazardous substances” found at such sites. It is not uncommon for the neighboring land owners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. The Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and comparable state statutes govern the disposal of “solid waste” and “hazardous waste” and authorize the imposition of substantial fines and penalties for noncompliance. Although CERCLA currently excludes petroleum from its definition of “hazardous substance,” state laws affecting our operations may impose clean-up liability relating to petroleum and petroleum related products. In addition, although RCRA classifies certain oil field wastes as “non-hazardous,” such exploration and production wastes could be reclassified as hazardous wastes thereby making such wastes subject to more stringent handling and disposal requirements.
Generally, environmental laws and regulations govern the discharge of materials into the environment or the disposal of waste materials, or otherwise relate to the protection of the environment. In particular, the following activities are subject to stringent environmental regulations:
•
drilling,
•
development and production operations,
•
activities in connection with storage and transportation of oil and other liquid hydrocarbons, and
•
use of facilities for treating, processing or otherwise handling hydrocarbons and wastes.
Violations are subject to reporting requirements, civil penalties and criminal sanctions. As with the industry generally, compliance with existing regulations increases our overall cost of business. The increased costs cannot be easily determined. Such areas affected include:
•
unit production expenses primarily related to the control and limitation of air emissions and the disposal of produced water,
•
capital costs to drill exploration and development wells resulting from expenses primarily related to the management and disposal of drilling fluids and other oil and natural gas exploration wastes, and
•
capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities and remediate, plug, and abandon inactive well sites and pits.
Environmental regulations historically have been subject to frequent change by regulatory authorities. Therefore, we are unable to predict the ongoing cost of compliance with these laws and regulations or the future impact of such regulations on operations. However, we do not believe that changes to these regulations will have a significant negative effect on operations with the acquired assets.
A discharge of hydrocarbons or hazardous substances into the environment could subject us to substantial expense, including both the cost to comply with applicable regulations pertaining to the cleanup of releases of hazardous substances into the environment and claims by neighboring landowners and other third parties for personal injury and property damage. We do not maintain insurance for protection against certain types of environmental liabilities.
Employees
Xtreme presently has three full-time executive and operational employees. In addition, we employ several contractors and consultants for engineering, geology, operations and business management. None of our employees is a member of a labor organization or is covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Other Property
The Company currently leases 3,181 square feet of office space in Plano, Texas. Our lease continues through November 30, 2013 at a cost of $22 per square foot / year increasing to $24 per square foot / year during the term of the lease.
ITEM 1A.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in this filing before investing in our common stock. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such a case, you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Risks related to our business
Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion and we may not be able to achieve our objectives, we may have to suspend business operations should capital or other resources, such as management or other personnel, cease to be available.
Our auditors’ report in our December 31, 2012, consolidated financial statements, expressed an opinion that the Company’s capital resources as of December 31, 2012 are not sufficient to sustain operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There is the distinct possibility that we will no longer be a going concern and will cease operations.
We depend heavily on our senior management and we may be unable to replace key executives if they leave
The loss of the services of one or more members of our senior management team or our inability to attract, retain and maintain additional senior management personnel could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects. Our operations and prospects depend in large part on the performance of our senior management team, particularly Willard G. McAndrew III, Chief Executive Officer. In addition, we may not be able to find qualified replacements for him if his services are no longer available.
•
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company;
•
impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving our company; or
•
discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.
We will require additional capital to fund our future activities. If we fail to obtain additional capital, we may not be able to implement fully our business plan, which could lead to a decline in reserves.
We are dependent on our ability to obtain financing to supplement our cash flow from operations. Historically, we have financed our business plan and operations primarily with issuances of common stock. We also require capital to continue operations and to fund our capital budget focused on the development of oil and gas properties. Production of oil and gas will require significant capital expenditures and successful drilling operations. Our cash requirements, mostly for corporate expenses, are approximately $80,000 per month or $960,000 per year, and our drilling activity is being funded from drilling programs. Revenue from existing oil production is not yet consistent on a monthly basis, and we cannot predict whether our cash flows from the future completion of our current drilling operations and pending Saltwater Disposal Well will be sufficient to meet our monthly cash requirements. Although, we have contracted to acquire additional properties, we lack the cash requirements necessary to complete the acquisition and develop them. See Item 7 Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - For the Years Ended December 31, 2012 compared to 2011 - Liquidity and Capital Resources. We will be required to meet our needs from our internally generated cash flows, debt financings and equity financings.
If our revenues decrease as a result of lower commodity prices, operating difficulties, declines in reserves or for any other reason, we may have limited ability to obtain the capital necessary to sustain our operations at current levels. We may, from time to time, need to seek additional financing. Even if additional capital is needed, we may not be able to obtain debt or equity financing on terms favorable to us, or at all. If cash generated by operations is not sufficient to meet our capital requirements, the failure to obtain additional financing could result in a curtailment of our operations relating to exploration and development of our projects, which in turn could lead to a possible loss of properties and a decline in any oil and gas we may recover.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS - continued
Drilling, exploring for, and producing gas and oil are high risk activities with many uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Drilling and exploration are the main methods we use to replace our hydrocarbons. However, drilling and exploration operations may not result in any increases in hydrocarbons for various reasons. Exploration activities involve numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive gas or oil reservoirs will be discovered. In addition, the future cost and timing of drilling, completing and producing wells is often uncertain. Furthermore, drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of a variety of factors, including:
•
lack of acceptable prospective acreage;
•
inadequate capital resources;
•
unexpected drilling conditions, pressure or irregularities in formations, equipment failures or accidents;
•
adverse weather conditions, including tornados;
•
unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, equipment or labor;
•
reductions in gas and oil prices;
•
limitations in the market for gas and oil;
•
surface access restrictions;
•
title problems;
•
compliance with governmental regulations; and
•
mechanical difficulties.
Our decisions to purchase, explore, develop and exploit prospects or properties depend in part on data obtained through geophysical and geological analyses, production data and engineering studies, the results of which are often uncertain. Even when used and properly interpreted, 3-D seismic data and visualization techniques only assist geoscientists and geologists in identifying subsurface structures and hydrocarbon indicators. They do not allow the interpreter to know conclusively if hydrocarbons are present or producible economically. In addition, the use of 3-D seismic and other advanced technologies require greater predrilling expenditures than traditional drilling strategies.
In addition, higher gas and oil prices generally increase the demand for drilling rigs, equipment and crews and can lead to shortages of, and increasing costs for, such drilling equipment, services and personnel. Such shortages could restrict our ability to drill the wells and conduct the operations that we currently have planned. Any delay in the drilling of new wells or significant increase in drilling costs could adversely affect our ability to increase our production and reduce our revenues.
We may not discover commercial quantities of oil and gas reserves, which will impact our ability to meet our business goals.
Our ability to locate reserves is dependent upon a number of factors, including our participation in multiple exploration projects and our technological capability to locate oil and gas in commercial quantities. We cannot predict that we will have the opportunity to participate in projects that economically produce commercial quantities of oil and gas in amounts necessary to create a positive cash flow for the Company or that the projects in which we elect to participate will be successful. Our planned projects may not result in significant reserves or we may not have future success in drilling productive wells at economical reserve replacement costs.
Oil and gas prices are volatile and an extended decline in prices can significantly affect our financial results, impede our growth and hurt our business prospects.
Our future profitability and rate of growth and the anticipated carrying value of our oil and gas properties could be affected by the then prevailing market prices for oil and gas. We expect the markets for oil and gas to continue to be volatile. Any substantial or extended decline in the price of oil or gas could:
•
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations,
•
limit our ability to attract capital,
•
make the formations we are targeting significantly less economically attractive,
•
reduce our cash flow and borrowing capacity, and
•
reduce the value and the amount of any future reserves.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS - continued
Various factors beyond our control will affect prices of oil and gas, including:
•
worldwide and domestic supplies of oil and gas,
•
the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls,
Our exploration and development activities are subject to reservoir and operational risks which may lead to increased costs and decreased production.
The marketability of our oil and gas production, if any, will depend in part upon the availability, proximity and capacity of gas gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities. Even when oil and gas is found in what is believed to be commercial quantities, reservoir risks, which may be heightened in new discoveries, may lead to increased costs and decreased production. These risks include the inability to sustain deliverability at commercially productive levels as a result of decreased reservoir pressures, large amounts of water, or flawed drilling operations. Operational risks include hazards such as fires, explosions, craterings, blowouts uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, pollution, releases of toxic gas and encountering formations with abnormal pressures. The occurrence of any one of these significant events, if it is not fully insured against, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We face risks related to title to the leases we enter into that may result in additional costs and affect our operating results.
It is customary in the oil and gas industry to acquire a leasehold interest in a property based upon a preliminary title investigation. If the title to the leases acquired is defective, we could lose the money already spent on acquisition and development, or incur substantial costs to cure the title defect, including any necessary litigation. If a title defect cannot be cured, we will not have the right to participate in the development of or production from the leased properties. In addition, it is possible that the terms of our oil and gas leases may be interpreted differently depending on the state in which the property is located. For instance, royalty calculations can be substantially different from state to state, depending on each state’s interpretation of lease language concerning the costs of production. We cannot guarantee that there will be no litigation concerning the proper interpretation of the terms of our leases. Adverse decisions in any litigation of this kind could result in material costs or the loss of one or more leases.
Currently, all of our properties are located in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas and our leases are primarily attributable to fields in those areas, making us vulnerable to risks associated with having our production concentrated in a small area.
The vast majority of our producing properties are geographically concentrated in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, and our leases are primarily attributable to the fields in that area. As a result of this concentration, we may be disproportionately exposed to the impact of delays or interruptions of production from these wells caused by significant governmental regulation, transportation capacity constraints, curtailments of production, natural disasters, interruption of transportation of gas produced from the wells in these basins or other events that impact these areas.
Identified drilling locations that we decide to drill may not yield gas or oil in commercially viable quantities and are susceptible to uncertainties that could materially alter the occurrence or timing of their drilling.
Our drilling locations are in various stages of evaluation, ranging from locations that are ready to be drilled to locations that will require substantial additional evaluation and interpretation. There is no way to predict in advance of drilling and testing whether any particular drilling location will yield gas or oil in sufficient quantities to recover drilling or completion costs or to be economically viable. The use of seismic data and other technologies and the study of producing fields in the same area will not enable us to know conclusively before drilling whether gas or oil will be present or, if present, whether gas or oil will be present in commercial quantities. The analysis that we perform may not be useful in predicting the characteristics and potential reserves associated with our drilling locations. As a result, we may not find commercially viable quantities of gas and oil.
Our drilling locations represent a significant part of our growth strategy. Our ability to drill and develop these locations depends on a number of factors, including gas and oil prices, costs, the availability of capital, seasonal conditions, regulatory approvals and drilling results. Because of these uncertainties, we do not know when the unproved drilling locations we have identified will be drilled or if they will ever be drilled or if we will be able to produce gas or oil from these or any proved drilling locations. As such, our actual drilling activities may be materially different from those presently identified, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS - continued
Unless we replace our gas and oil reserves, our reserves and production will decline.
Our future gas and oil production depends on our success in finding or acquiring additional reserves. If we fail to replace reserves through drilling or acquisitions, our level of production and cash flows will be affected adversely. In general, production from gas and oil properties declines as reserves are depleted, with the rate of decline depending on reservoir characteristics. The oil and gas on our leases will decline as our wells produce unless we conduct other successful exploration and development activities or acquire properties containing oil and gas, or both. Our ability to make the necessary capital investment to maintain or expand our asset base of gas and oil would be impaired to the extent cash flow from operations is reduced and external sources of capital become limited or unavailable. We may not be successful in exploring for, developing or acquiring reserves.
Our actual production, revenues and expenditures related to our oil and gas prospects are likely to differ from our estimates of hydrocarbons. We may experience production that is less than estimated and drilling costs that are greater than estimated in our reserve reports. These differences may be material.
We estimate the amount of hydrocarbons available in our prospects. Petroleum engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of gas and oil that cannot be measured in an exact manner. Estimates of economically recoverable gas and oil reserves and of future net cash flows necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, including:
•
historical production from the area compared with production from other similar producing areas;
•
the assumed effects of regulations by governmental agencies;
•
assumptions concerning future gas and oil prices; and
•
assumptions concerning future operating costs, severance and excise taxes, development costs and workover and remedial costs.
Because all estimates of recoverable oil and gas are to some degree subjective, each of the following items may differ materially from those assumed in estimating proved reserves:
•
the quantities of gas and oil that are ultimately recovered;
•
the production and operating costs incurred;
•
the amount and timing of future development expenditures; and
•
future gas and oil prices.
Estimates of proved undeveloped reserves are even less reliable than estimates of proved developed reserves.
Furthermore, different engineers may make different estimates of recoverable oil and gas and cash flows based on the same available data. Our actual production, revenues and expenditures will likely be different from estimates and the differences may be material. Actual future net cash flows also will be affected by factors such as:
•
the amount and timing of actual production;
•
supply and demand for gas and oil;
•
increases or decreases in consumption; and
•
changes in governmental regulations or taxation.
You should not assume that the present value of future net revenues from our potential recoverable oil and gas is the current market value of our estimated gas and oil reserves. All of our reserves are undeveloped.
The unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies, personnel and oilfield services could adversely affect our ability to execute our exploration and development plans on a timely basis and within our budget.
Our industry is cyclical, and from time to time there is a shortage of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies and qualified personnel. During these periods, the costs and delivery times of rigs, equipment and supplies are substantially greater. If the unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies or qualified personnel were particularly severe in the areas where we operate, we could be materially and adversely affected.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS - continued
Competition in the oil and gas industry is intense, and many of our competitors have resources that are greater than ours.
We operate in a highly competitive environment for acquiring prospects and productive properties, marketing gas and oil and securing equipment and trained personnel. Many of our competitors are major and large independent oil and gas companies that possess and employ financial, technical and personnel resources substantially greater than ours. Those companies may be able to develop and acquire more prospects and productive properties than our financial or personnel resources permit. Our ability to acquire additional prospects and discover reserves in the future will depend on our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. Also, there is substantial competition for capital available for investment in the oil and gas industry. Larger competitors may be better able to withstand sustained periods of unsuccessful drilling and absorb the burden of changes in laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position. We may not be able to compete successfully in the future in acquiring prospective reserves, developing reserves, marketing hydrocarbons, attracting and retaining quality personnel and raising additional capital.
We depend on our management team and other key personnel. Accordingly, the loss of any of these individuals could adversely affect our business, financial condition and the results of operations and future growth.
Our success largely depends on the skills, experience and efforts of our management team and other key personnel. The loss of the services of one or more members of our senior management team or of our other employees with critical skills needed to operate our business could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth. If any of our officers or other key personnel resign or become unable to continue in their present roles and are not adequately replaced, our business operations could be materially adversely affected. Our ability to manage our growth, if any, will require us to continue to train, motivate and manage our employees and to attract, motivate and retain additional qualified personnel. Competition for these types of personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting, assimilating and retaining the personnel required to grow and operate our business profitably.
We are subject to complex governmental laws and regulations that may adversely affect the cost, manner or feasibility of doing business.
Our operations and facilities are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the exploration for, and the development, production and transportation of, gas and oil, and operating safety, and protection of the environment, including those relating to air emissions, wastewater discharges, land use, storage and disposal of wastes and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. Future laws or regulations, any adverse changes in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations or our failure to comply with existing legal requirements may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. We may encounter reductions in reserves or be required to make large and unanticipated capital expenditures to comply with governmental laws and regulations, such as:
•
price control;
•
taxation;
•
lease permit restrictions;
•
drilling bonds and other financial responsibility requirements, such as plug and abandonment bonds;
•
spacing of wells;
•
unitization and pooling of properties;
•
safety precautions; and
•
permitting requirements.
Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for:
•
personal injuries;
•
property and natural resource damages;
•
well reclamation costs, soil and groundwater remediation costs; and
•
governmental sanctions, such as fines and penalties.
Our operations could be significantly delayed or curtailed, and our cost of operations could significantly increase as a result of environmental safety and other regulatory requirements or restrictions. We are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on our operations. We may be unable to obtain all necessary licenses, permits, approvals and certificates for proposed projects. Intricate and changing environmental and other regulatory requirements may require substantial expenditures to obtain and maintain permits. If a project is unable to function as planned, for example, due to costly or changing requirements or local opposition, it may create expensive delays, extended periods of non-operation or significant loss of value in a project.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS - continued
Compliance with environmental and other government regulations could be costly and could negatively impact production.
Our operations could result in liability for personal injuries, property damage, natural resource damages, oil spills, discharge of hazardous materials, remediation and clean-up costs and other environmental damages. Failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and criminal enforcement measures, including the assessment of monetary penalties and the issuance of orders enjoining operations. In addition, we could be liable for environmental damages caused by, among others, previous property owners or operators. We could also be affected by more stringent laws and regulations adopted in the future, including any related to climate change and greenhouse gases and use of fracking fluids, resulting in increased operating costs. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.
These laws and governmental regulations, which cover matters including drilling operations, taxation and environmental protection, may be changed from time to time in response to economic or political conditions and could have a significant impact on our operating costs, as well as the oil and gas industry in general. While we believe that we are currently in compliance with environmental laws and regulations applicable to our operations, no assurances can be given that we will be able to continue to comply with such environmental laws and regulations without incurring substantial costs.
Technological changes could put us at a competitive disadvantage.
The oil and gas industry is characterized by rapid and significant technological advancements and introductions of new products and services using new technologies. As new technologies develop, we may be placed at a competitive disadvantage, and competitive pressures may force us to implement those new technologies at a substantial cost. If other oil and gas exploration and development companies implement new technologies before we do, those companies may be able to provide enhanced capabilities and superior quality compared with what we are able to provide. We may not be able to respond to these competitive pressures and implement new technologies on a timely basis or at an acceptable cost. If we are unable to utilize the most advanced commercially available technologies, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
Our oil and gas business depends on transportation facilities owned by others.
The marketability of our potential oil and gas production depends in part on the availability, proximity and capacity of pipeline systems owned or operated by third parties. Federal and state regulation of oil and gas production and transportation, tax and energy policies, changes in supply and demand and general economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to produce, gather and transport oil and natural gas.
Attempts to grow our business could have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our growth effectively.
Because of our small size, we desire to grow rapidly in order to achieve certain economies of scale. Although this rapid growth may not occur, to the extent that it does occur, it will place a significant strain on our financial, technical, operational and administrative resources. As we increase our services and enlarge the number of projects we are evaluating or in which we are participating, there will be additional demands on our financial, technical and administrative resources. The failure to continue to upgrade our technical, administrative, operating and financial control systems or the occurrence of unexpected expansion difficulties, including the recruitment and retention of geoscientists and engineers, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS - continued
Market conditions or transportation impediments may hinder our access to gas and oil markets or delay our production.
Market conditions, the unavailability of satisfactory gas and oil processing and transportation may hinder our access to gas and oil markets or delay our production. The availability of a ready market for our gas and oil production depends on a number of factors, including the demand for and supply of gas and oil and the proximity of reserves to pipelines or trucking and terminal facilities. In addition, the amount of gas and oil that can be produced and sold is subject to curtailment in certain circumstances, such as pipeline interruptions due to scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, excessive pressure, physical damage to the gathering or transportation system or lack of contracted capacity on such systems. The curtailments arising from these and similar circumstances may last from a few days to several months, and in many cases we are provided with limited, if any, notice as to when these circumstances will arise and their duration. As a result, we may not be able to sell, or may have to transport by more expensive means, the gas and oil production from wells or we may be required to shut in gas wells or delay initial production until the necessary gathering and transportation systems are available. Any significant curtailment in gathering system or pipeline capacity, or significant delay in construction of necessary gathering and transportation facilities, could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Environmental liabilities may expose us to significant costs and liabilities.
There is inherent risk of incurring significant environmental costs and liabilities in our gas and oil operations due to the handling of petroleum hydrocarbons and generated wastes, the occurrence of air emissions and water discharges from work-related activities and the legacy of pollution from historical industry operations and waste disposal practices. We may incur joint and several or strict liability under these environmental laws and regulations in connection with spills, leaks or releases of petroleum hydrocarbons and wastes on, under or from our properties and facilities, many of which have been used for exploration, production or development activities for many years, oftentimes by third parties not under our control. Private parties, including the owners of properties upon which we conduct drilling and production activities as well as facilities where our petroleum hydrocarbons or wastes are taken for reclamation or disposal, may also have the right to pursue legal actions to enforce compliance as well as to seek damages for non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations or for personal injury or property damage. In addition, changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any such changes that result in more stringent and costly waste handling, storage, transport, disposal or remediation requirements could have a material adverse effect on our production or our operations or financial position. We may not be able to recover some or any of these costs from insurance.
Our growth strategy could fail or present unanticipated problems for our business in the future, which could adversely affect our ability to make acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits of those acquisitions.
Our growth strategy may include acquiring oil and gas businesses and properties. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition opportunities or finance and complete any particular acquisition successfully.
Furthermore, acquisitions involve a number of risks and challenges, including:
•
diversion of management’s attention;
•
the need to integrate acquired operations;
•
potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies;
•
potential lack of operating experience in a geographic market of the acquired business; and
•
an increase in our expenses and working capital requirements.
Any of these factors could adversely affect our ability to achieve anticipated levels of cash flows from the acquired businesses or realize other anticipated benefits of those acquisitions.
Severe weather could have a material adverse impact on our business.
Our business could be materially and adversely affected by severe weather. Repercussions of severe weather conditions may include:
•
curtailment of services;
•
weather-related damage to drilling rigs, resulting in suspension of operations;
•
weather-related damage to our facilities;
•
inability to deliver materials to jobsites in accordance with contract schedules; and
•
loss of productivity.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS - continued
A terrorist attack or armed conflict could harm our business.
Terrorist activities, anti-terrorist efforts and other armed conflict involving the United States may adversely affect the United States and global economies and could prevent us from meeting our financial and other obligations. If any of these events occur or escalate, the resulting political instability and societal disruption could reduce overall demand for gas and oil, potentially putting downward pressure on demand for our services and causing a reduction in our revenue. Gas and oil related facilities could be direct targets for terrorist attacks, and our operations could be adversely impacted if significant infrastructure or facilities we use for the production, transportation or marketing of our gas and oil production are destroyed or damaged. Costs for insurance and other security may increase as a result of these threats, and some insurance coverage may become difficult to obtain, if available at all.
Risks related to the market for our Common Stock
There has been no significant public market for our common stock, and our stock price may fluctuate significantly.
There is currently no significant public market for our common stock, and an active trading market may not develop or be sustained. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly as a result of:
•
our operating and financial performance and prospects;
•
quarterly variations in the rate of growth of our financial indicators, such as net income per share, net income and revenues;
•
changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports by analysts about us or the exploration and production industry;
•
liquidity and registering our common stock for public resale;
•
actual or unanticipated variations in our reserve estimates and quarterly operating results;
•
changes in gas and oil prices;
•
speculation in the press or investment community;
•
sales of our common stock by our stockholders;
•
increases in our cost of capital;
•
changes in applicable laws or regulations, court rulings and enforcement and legal actions;
•
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
•
adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we incur in the future;
•
additions or departures of key management personnel;
•
actions by our stockholders;
•
general market and economic conditions, including the occurrence of events or trends affecting the price of gas; and
•
domestic and international economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance.
If a trading market develops for our common stock, stock markets in general experience volatility that often is unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
We do not expect to declare or pay any cash or other dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock, as we intend to use cash flow generated by operations to expand our business.
Certain stockholders’ shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly.
As of April 15, 2012, we had outstanding 62,187,051 shares of common stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public markets following this filing by any of our existing stockholders (or persons to whom our existing stockholders may distribute shares of our common stock), or the perception that such sales might occur, could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock or could impair our ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS - continued
You may experience dilution of your ownership interests due to the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock.
We may in the future issue our previously authorized and unissued securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders. We are currently authorized to issue 200 million shares of common stock and 50 million shares of preferred stock with preferences and rights as determined by our board of directors. The potential issuance of such additional shares of common stock may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. We may also issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with the hiring of personnel, future acquisitions, future public offerings or private placements of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes.
If equity research analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our common stock, the price of our common stock could decline.
As a small company, we do not expect significant visibility or interest in us by the financial markets in the near term. The trading market for our common stock may rely in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control the opinions of these analysts. The price of our stock could decline if one or more equity analysts downgrade our stock or if those analysts issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business.
The availability of shares for sale in the future could reduce the market price of our common stock.
In the future, we may issue securities to raise cash for acquisitions or operations. We may also acquire interests in outside companies by using a combination of cash and our common stock or just our common stock. We may also issue securities convertible into our common stock. Any of these events may dilute your ownership interest in our company and have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.
In addition, sales of a substantial amount of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales may occur, could reduce the market price of our common stock. This could also impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our securities.
The limited public trading market may cause volatility in our stock price.
The quotation of our common stock on the Pink Sheets or OTC Bulletin Board does not assure that a meaningful, consistent and liquid trading market currently exists, and in recent years such market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of many smaller companies like us. Our common stock is thus subject to this volatility. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.
Our failure to file reports in a timely manner required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may result in a change of where our stock is traded resulting in less liquidity in the market for our stock and greater volatility in our stock price.
Although our stock is currently traded in the pink sheets and OTC Bulletin Board, we plan to arrange for our shares to be traded on the NASDAQ markets. In the past, we have failed to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q in a timely manner. Should we be quoted or traded other than in the Pink Sheets, it is possible that if late filings occur in the future, trading in our stock would revert back to the Pink Sheets with a possible decrease in liquidity and increase in volatility of our stock price.
Further, the failure to make timely filings would decrease the information about us available to the public during such delinquencies with a similar decrease in liquidity and increase in volatility.
Our common stock can become subject to penny stock regulation.
As a penny stock, our common stock may become subject to additional disclosure requirements for penny stocks mandated by the Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990. The SEC Regulations generally define a penny stock to be an equity security that is not traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market or another recognized stock exchange and has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Depending upon our stock price, we may be included within the SEC Rule 3(a)(51) definition of a penny stock and have our common stock considered to be a “penny stock,” with trading of our common stock covered by Rule 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special written disclosure to, and suitability determination for, the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale. The regulations on penny stocks limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and thus may also limit the ability of purchasers of our common stock to sell their securities in the secondary market. Our common stock will not be considered a “penny stock” if our net tangible assets exceed $2,000,000 or our average revenue is at least $6,000,000 for the previous three years.

On December 1, 2009, we began legal proceedings in McLain County District Court in Purcell, Oklahoma against D. Deerman, L.P. alleging breach of contract and demanding payment for fees owed, oil and gas production revenue and other expenses on the Oil Creek property in excess of $75,000 based on our contracted ownership percentage. The suit also demands an accounting discovery for all items in dispute. On December 31, 2009, Deerman filed a counterclaim in the same court claiming breach of contract for drilling the Oil Creek property and demanding payment of $235,000 for expenses incurred. We are currently in the discovery phases of this action.
On March 30, 2010, each of Baker Hughes, Pan American Drilling and Native American Drilling began legal proceeding against us in Logan County District Court in Oklahoma demanding judgment for past due invoices in excess of $75,000. We dispute the amounts due based on contracted terms between us. We have settled with all suppliers in this suit except for Baker Hughes whose bills we continue to dispute.
On April 27, 2010, we filed suit against Genie Well Services in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma demanding restitution for damaging our Lionheart well for damages in excess of $75,000 based on their negligence that resulted in damaging the wellbore and added Crescent Services and Onsite Oiltools as additional defendants. Genie filed a counterclaim for $53,110 for their services rendered after causing the damage. Genie admitted their liability to the court and we are currently in settlement discussions with them. We settled all claims between the parties in confidential settlements dated March 5, 2012.

Overview
Xtreme Oil & Gas, Inc. is a growing independent energy company focused on the acquisition, development, ownership, operation and investment in energy-related businesses and assets, including, without limitation, the acquisition, exploration and development of natural gas and crude oil, and other related businesses which management believes have potential for improved production rates and resulting income by application of both conventional and non-conventional improvement and enhancement techniques. As of December 31, 2012 we own working interests in 10,348 acres of oil and gas leases in Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma that now include 12 gross producing wells and 55 gross non-producing wells. Xtreme is reviewing our current approach to pursuing an ongoing reworking and drilling program to increase production from its properties (See Item 1 Business and Properties Recent Events). Our revenues are derived from the sale of oil and gas products and sale of interests, principally in drilling programs.
Results of Operations
For the Year Ended December 31, 2012 compared to 2011
Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2012, revenues were $1,339,047 compared to revenues of $2,493,873 for year ending December 31, 2011.
Sales of oil and gas in both years came from our Texas fields, the West Thrifty and Quita fields, with revenues of $64,249 in 2011 rising slightly to $68,113 in 2012. The change in revenue in 2012 is attributed to small changes in production across the Texas properties.
We recognized $1,270,934 of revenue in 2012 and $2,429,624 in 2011 from the sale of working interests in our leases. When we sell such working interests, we record cash receipts as deposits payable. As drilling on a project is completed, we decrease the liability and recognize revenue. All of our sales of working interests are sold on a turnkey basis, that is, we agree to be responsible for all costs incurred in drilling that are attributable to the working interest sold, profiting where these expenses are less than the actual expenses attributable to the working interests and absorbing costs where they exceed the amount sold.

Expenses
Oil production expenses totaled $137,502 and $194,848 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in expenses related to reduced maintenance costs on the Texas fields. Loss on disposal of properties totaled $233,266 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and was directly related to our attempts to recover damages on the Lionheart property. We continued to operate the West Thrifty and Quita properties and invest in improving field operations to properly maintain and improve our production efficiency. Production costs exceeded revenues because of higher costs of maintenance and repairs. Expenses related to disposing of property increased significantly in 2012 to $233,266 from $48,356 in 2011, because the we wrote down the Flint Creek/Oil Creek property in September 2012.
General and administrative expenses totaled $1,766,403 for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of approximately $239,000 from $1,526,977 for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Nonetheless, we incurred significant litigation expenses in 2012, principally as we defended against the Pan American lawsuit on the Lionheart prospect. We anticipate litigation expenses to decline in 2013.
Other Income (expense)
Other income (expense) increased from $853,577 expense in 2011 to $802,850 income in 2012. Other income (expense) is comprised primarily of derivative income (expense) and amortization of debt discount and deferred finance costs. Almost all of the 2012 expense related to our debt placement in September 2011 with interest expense of $396,071, amortization of debt discount of $2,064,402, and a derivative income of $2,430,514. Offsetting these gains was a loss on extinguishment of debt of $98,163 that occurred when a portion of the proceeds from our September 2011 debt offering was converted into common stock. A portion of this gain is also attributable to payments we made in December 2012 required under the September 2011 debt. Accruals similar to that made in December 2012 will be incurred throughout 2013 as we make monthly payments on that debt.
Our derivative income (expense) is subject to wide variation from the application of the binomial model used to calculate future convertible liabilities. The embedded conversion features associated with our convertible debentures are valued based on the number of shares that are indexed to that liability. Keeping the number of shares constant, the liability associated with the embedded conversion features increases as our share price increases and, likewise, decreases when our share price decreases. Derivative income (expense) displays the inverse relationship. At the end of each quarter and when we make monthly payments on the debt, we will calculate again the Derivative income (expense). We anticipate similar wide variations in this amount with the principal reason for the fourth quarter’s fluctuation being the change in the fair value of the company’s stock price. An decrease in the stock price resulted in a decreased value of the embedded conversion feature (using the binomial model). See Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements.
Net Loss
For the year ending December 31, 2012, we had net loss of $70,437 compared with net loss of $205,088 for 2011. The decrease in net loss in 2012 was primarily due to derivative income related to our debt placement in September 2011.
For the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011 our loss per share on a diluted basis was $0.00.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flows provided by operations was $822,458 for the year ending December 31, 2012. We believe that for the next 12 months we will not generate sufficient cash from our oil and gas operations to fund our operations or development of our prospects and acquisitions of additional prospects. (See Item 1 Business and Properties - Recent Events).We believe that we will need to raise funds through the private placement of equity securities and sale of working interests to assure we have the necessary cash for operations and development.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
Liquidity and Capital Resources - continued
We project that our cash requirements, mostly for corporate expenses, will be approximately $80,000 per month or $960,000 for the next 12 months, and our drilling activity has been funded from drilling programs. Drilling programs generated $1,270,934 in 2012 from the sale of working interest in a project on the West Thrifty Unit, and from a portion of the sale of working interest in the Saltwater Disposal Project. Drilling and completion work on the West Thrifty Unit and the Saltwater Disposal projects has been completed and the cash generated from the sale of these drilling programs is sufficient to complete each of these projects. The sale of working interest of $1,270,934 in 2012 was not sufficient to meet all of our cash needs and our accounts payable and accrued expenses rose from $1,789,482 in 2011 to $1,811,271 in 2012. Revenue from existing oil production is not yet consistent on a monthly basis, but we expect our cash flows from the continued operations of our Saltwater Disposal Well to improve but may not be sufficient to meet our monthly cash requirements for planned day to day operations. In addition, we have not yet contracted to acquire additional properties, and we are unable to determine the consideration required for their purchase, the cash requirements necessary to develop them, or the revenues from them if drilling is successful.
To continue with our business plan including the funding of operations, we will require additional capital to develop properties and believe that we will continue to raise capital and generate revenue by selling interest in prospects to investors through drilling programs and through future offerings of equity or debt securities (See Item 1 Business and Properties - Recent Events).
In need of capital to develop properties and expand, in June 2012 continuing through 2013 we pursued several funding opportunities based on the belief that the assets owned, if developed, would satisfy our current operating and development needs and provide for our growth. With a $325,000 deposit advanced by affiliates of the company, we obtained a commitment for a $20,000,000 debt instrument with a close indicated in the early summer 2012 from the RO Financial Group. Two other discussions we chose not to pursue would have resulted in significant dilution or debt and warrants that would not be beneficial.
Although we have been assured both verbally and in writing that the funding by the RO Financial Group engaged in June of this year remained imminent we do not believe this is a viable alternative and we began to pursue various alternatives to that financing. We sent a termination letter to the RO Financial Group in January 2013. Our plan is to bring to fruition one or more of these plans as soon as possible to continue to develop our existing properties, and expand our oil and gas production business.
On June 8, 2012, three of our executives and one Director sold back working interest in the Saltwater Disposal Well to the Company for $1,050,720 and the Company subsequently resold that interest for $1,212,475. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for further detail.
If required, our ability to obtain additional financing from other sources also depends on many factors beyond our control, including the state of the capital markets and the prospects for business growth. The necessary additional financing may not be available or may be available only on terms that would result in excessive further dilution to the current owners of our common stock or at unreasonable costs of capital.
We have no plans to expand significantly our overhead and we expect that future acquisitions and development of production will be funded through private placement offerings and by selling interest in our current properties. We do not anticipate revenues to be generated in the future from contract drilling as we did on the Oil Creek property, nor do we anticipate selling interest in our current properties except through joint venture of partnership drilling programs with accredited investors.
Our West Thrifty Unit, including the Quita field, were acquired with the issuance of stock, the value of the stock comprising most of the value of our oil and gas properties. Some of our other properties, the Oil Creek, Lionheart and Saltwater disposal properties have been acquired for a relatively modest amount of cash. The rights to the Smoky Hill property were acquired with cash and we anticipate funding additional wells through working interest sales and or equity financings. We anticipate that in the future we will continue to acquire properties principally with cash and stock.
In December 2012 we signed an agreement to acquire 90% of Rick’s Transport Services business to complement our saltwater disposal well business for $8,000,000 and 2,000,000 shares of restricted common stock. We engaged an investment bank to raise the funds for the acquisition and if successful it to add positive cash flow and earnings to Xtreme in 2013. We do not yet have a term sheet for financing this transaction and the agreement with Rick’s Transport Services expires on April 17, 2013.

Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies of Xtreme Oil & Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. In response to SEC Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies,” described below are certain of these policies that are likely to be of particular importance to the portrayal of Xtreme’s financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by management. Xtreme will analyze estimates, including those related to oil and gas revenues, reserves and properties, as well as goodwill and contingencies, and base its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. You should expect the following critical accounting policies will affect management’s more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of Xtreme’s financial statements.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of its financial statements and changes in these estimates are recorded when known.
Significant estimates with regard to these financial statements include the estimate of (See Note 14), asset retirement obligations, income taxes and contingency obligations including legal and environmental risks and exposures.
Oil and Natural Gas Properties
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and natural gas properties. Costs incurred by the Company related to the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties and the cost of drilling successful wells are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain wells and related equipment and lease and well operating costs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses arising from sales of properties are included in income. Unproved properties are assessed periodically for possible impairment. The Company had $0 of non-producing properties as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Capitalized amounts attributable to oil and natural gas properties are depleted by the unit-of-production method. Depletion expense for oil and natural gas producing property was $2,884 and $6,951 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Capitalized costs are evaluated for impairment based on an analysis of undiscounted future net cash flows. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on expected future discounted cash flows. See Note 5 for additional information regarding the oil and gas properties.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
Asset Retirement Obligations
The asset retirement obligations represent the estimated present value of the amounts expected to be incurred to plug, abandon, and re-mediate the producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with state laws, as well as the estimated costs associated with the reclamation of the surrounding property. The Company determines the asset retirement obligations by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the liability. The asset retirement obligations are recorded as a liability at the estimated present value as of the asset’s inception, with an offsetting increase to producing properties. The Company has recorded a liability of $300,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.
The estimated liability is determined using significant assumptions, including current estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation of these costs, the productive lives of wells, and a risk-adjusted interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligations. Revisions to the asset retirement obligations are recorded with an offsetting change to producing properties, resulting in prospective changes to depletion and depreciation expense and accretion of the discount. Because of the subjectivity of assumptions and the relatively long lives of most of the wells, the costs to ultimately retire the Company’s wells may vary significantly from prior estimates.
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Non Oil and Gas Properties)
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flow that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets or asset groups are considered to be impaired, the loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value, for non oil and gas properties.
The Company determined that there was no impairment of long-lived (non oil and gas property) assets for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized and earned. Specifically, the Company recognizes revenue when services are performed and projects are completed and accepted by the customer.
Revenues from sales of crude oil and natural gas products are recorded when deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the commodity transfers to the purchaser. Revenues from the production of oil and natural gas properties in which the Company shares an undivided interest with other producers are recognized based on the actual volumes sold by the Company during the period.
The Company recognizes gains or losses from the sales of its interests in oil and natural gas properties as title passes to the buyer. These amounts are recognized as income from asset sales, net.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
Derivative Instruments
The Company’s debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.
The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments is complex. Our derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For bifurcated conversion options that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, we determine the fair value of these instruments using binomial option pricing model. That model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instrument and risk-free rates of return, our current Common Stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our Common Stock price over the life of the option.
In connection with the issuance of the Notes and Warrants, the conversion features are accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date, due to anti-dilution reset features. The fair value was estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option-pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 290%; risk-free interest rate of 0.05% and an expected holding period of 24 months for the Notes and 60 months for the Warrants. The resulting values, at the date of issuance, were allocated to the proceeds received and applied as a discount to the face value of the Notes and Warrants. The Company recorded a derivative expense on the Notes of $649,212 at inception and a further derivative expense on the Warrants of $2,431,437 at inception.
In regards to the September 12, 2011 Note, the Company recognized a derivative liability of $1,484,806 at December 31, 2011 and a change in fair value of $(682,150) for the year ended December 31, 2012, and redemptions of $575,586 for the year ended December 31, 2012 resulting in a derivative liability of $227,070 at December 31, 2012.
In regards to the September 12, 2011 Warrants, the Company recognized a derivative liability of $1,253,018 at December 31, 2011 and a change in fair value of $($1,074,615) for the year ended December 31, 2012, resulting in a derivative liability of $178,403 at December 31, 2012.
The Company delayed scheduled payments on the convertible notes for the months of June, July, August, September, October, November, and December 2012. This resulted in a default on the note agreement. Interest is being accrued at a rate of 18% as a result of the default.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards (including stock options and stock awards) made to employees and directors based on estimated fair value. Compensation expense for equity-classified awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense in earnings over the requisite service period using a graded vesting method.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have adopted recently issued accounting pronouncements and have determined that they have no material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow. We do not expect any recently issued but not yet adopted accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange, interest rates, and commodity prices.
Currently the Company is not involved in any hedge contracts or foreign contracts and therefore has no exposure to such risks. All long-term debt is subject to a fixed rate and as such is not subject to fluctuations in the market rate.
Our major market risk exposure is in the pricing applicable to our oil production and natural gas sales. Realizing pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing domestic price for crude oil. Historically, prices received for oil and gas sales have been volatile and unpredictable. We expect pricing volatility to continue. Oil prices ranged from a low of $76.45 per barrel to a high of $110.12 per barrel during 2012 and $85.66 to $108.80 in 2011. Gas prices during 2012 ranged from a low of $1.85 per mcf to a high of $3.59 per mcf and $3.14 to $4.37 in 2011. A significant decline in the prices of oil or natural gas could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”, which are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. As of December 31, 2011, our Chief Executive Officer, Willard G. McAndrew, and Chief Financial Officer, Roger Wurtele, with the participation of our Chief Operating Officer, reviewed our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon our evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be included in this report is (i) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving an entity’s disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors, mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established processes.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of Xtreme Oil & Gas, Inc. (the “Company”), including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s Management and Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The principal change in our internal control over financial reporting, was implemented by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting relates to the transition to our new accounting software and the more rigorous documentation relating to entries therein as well as the limitation of access to those entitled to making entries into such software during 2011. However, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, during the three months ended December 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In December 2009, Mr. McAndrew cancelled warrants for 14,500,000 shares and associated preferred stock in exchange for 12,000,000 shares of common stock. As part of this restructuring, Mr. McAndrew was issued 1,000 shares of Nontransferable Preferred Stock. These 1,000 shares represent all of the shares of Nontransferable Preferred Stock authorized. The holders of the Nontransferable Preferred Stock have votes equal to 1.1 times the number of shares outstanding giving voting control of the Company to Mr. McAndrew.
In December 2009, Ms. Wingate cancelled warrants for 3,000,000 shares and associated preferred stock in exchange for 1,700,000 shares of common stock.
The Board of Directors, on its own initiative, determined to have holders of our Common Stock ratify the merger of the Company from a Washington corporation into a Nevada corporation. The Directors also determined to restructure the preferred stock interests held by principals of the Company, preferred stock presumed to be issued in exchange for warrants. Ms. Wingate and Mr. McAndrew exchanged this presumed interest in preferred stock and any warrants for the common stock described above. Holders of 73.9% of our Common Stock ratified these transactions.
In 2012, Messrs. E.L. Shockey and Lloyd E. Allen both resigned from the board due to health reasons. Those positions have not been refilled.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Mr. McAndrew, through the WMDM Family Limited Partnership, has a 2.5% overriding royalty interest in the West Thrifty and Quita oil and gas properties and a 2.6% overriding royalty interest in the Lionheart property.
During 2012, a director advanced $101,093 to the Company. Interest is accrued on these advances at the rate of 10% per annum. The advances and accrued interest are payable on demand and unsecured.
On June 8, 2012, the Company owed an officer $464,000 for the acquisition of their working interest in the Saltwater Disposal Well (Gotcheye SWD) and $36,000 for the acquisition of their working interests in the Lionheart. See Note 9 for more details. These amounts are included in accounts payable - related parties on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.
On June 8, 2012, the Company owed an officer $464,000 for the acquisition of their working interest in the Saltwater Disposal Well (Gotcheye SWD) and $36,000 for the acquisition of their working interests in the Lionheart. See Note 9 for more details. These amounts are included in accounts payable - related parties on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.
On June 8, 2012, the Company owed an employee $80,000 for the acquisition of their working interest in the Saltwater Disposal Well (Gotcheye SWD) and $3,600 for the acquisition of their working interests in the Lionheart. See Note 9 for more details. These amounts are included in accounts payable - related parties on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.
On June 8, 2012, the Company owed a director $42,720 for the acquisition of their working interest in the Saltwater Disposal Well (Gotcheye SWD). See Note 9 for more details. These amounts are included in accounts payable - related parties on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.
On June 11, 2012 a director loaned $50,000 to the Company. The loan is non-interest bearing and due on June 30, 2012 (“Maturity Date”). The Company shall pay the director $5,000 for underwriting fees, charges and other payments on the maturity date if the Company’s financing is completed. The loan is in default.
On June 11, 2012 an officer loaned $200,000 to the Company. The loan is non-interest bearing and due on June 30, 2012 (“Maturity Date”). The Company shall pay the officer $20,000 for underwriting fees, charges and other payments on the maturity date if the Company’s financing is completed. The loan is in default.
The issuance of warrants and the exchange of the warrants for preferred stock was originally not effected by acts of the Company directors resulting in voting control being held by management without approval of other investors. The reorganization of the Company from a Washington corporation to a Nevada corporation was effected by a vote of holders of such preferred stock. On review of these transactions, the directors sought to have the reorganization of the Company from Washington to Nevada ratified by the holders of the Common Stock and to have the relinquishment of rights in preferred stock or any warrants also ratified, including the issuance of the 15,000,000 shares of common stock and the issuance of the 1,000 shares of Nontransferable Preferred Stock to Mr. McAndrew. In December 2009, 73.9% of the shareholders ratified these transactions so that the merger would be approved by those having the legal power to effect the merger, that is, holders of duly issued securities of the Company. Of the 73.9% approving these transactions, 29% of the shares were held by affiliated shareholders including officers and directors. The Company believes that any liability with respect to the merger or any of the transactions related to the merger is remote. See “Description of Securities.”

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Xtreme Oil & Gas, Inc. and Subsidiary
Plano, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Xtreme Oil & Gas, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Xtreme Oil & Gas, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's absence of significant revenues, recurring losses from operations, and its need for additional financing in order to fund its projected loss in 2013 raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

XTREME OIL & GAS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011
NOTE 1 - Organization, History and Business Activity
Xtreme Oil & Gas, Inc. (the “Company” formerly Xtreme Technologies, Inc.), a Nevada corporation formed on October 3, 2006 is organized to engage in the acquisition, operation and development of oil and natural gas properties located in Texas and the southeast region of the United States. Effective December 29, 2006, Xtreme Technologies, Inc., a then Washington corporation, acquired Emerald Energy Partners, Inc., (“Emerald”) a Nevada corporation, in exchange for the issuance of 7,960,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and changed the Company’s name to Xtreme Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Xtreme”).
For accounting purposes this transaction was treated as an acquisition of Xtreme Technologies, Inc. and a re-capitalization of Emerald. Emerald is the accounting acquirer and the results of its operations carry over. Accordingly, the operations of Xtreme Technologies, Inc. were not carried over and were adjusted to $0 at the date of the merger.
Nature of Business
Since its formation, the Company has been involved in the acquisition and management of fee mineral acreage and the exploration for and development of oil and natural gas properties, principally involving drilling wells located on the company’s mineral acreage. The Company’s mineral properties and other oil and natural gas interests are all located in the United States, primarily in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas. The majority of the Company’s oil and natural gas production is from its’ Texas wells for 2012 and 2011. Substantially all the Company’s oil and natural gas production is sold by the Company directly to independent purchasers.
The Company from time to time sells or otherwise disposes of its interest in oil and natural gas properties as part of the normal course of business.
NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Consolidation Policy
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its’ wholly owned subsidiary. The Company’s subsidiary is Xtreme Operating Company, LLC. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of its financial statements and changes in these estimates are recorded when known.
Significant estimates with regard to these financial statements include the estimate of (See Note 14), asset retirement obligations, income taxes and contingency obligations including legal and environmental risks and exposures.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Excluded from cash and cash equivalents is $75,313 of restricted cash (deposits) for our operator’s bonds.

DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011
NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Receivables
Receivables from services are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. The Company records estimated oil and gas revenue receivable from third parties at its net revenue interest. The Company also reflects costs incurred on behalf of joint interest partners in receivables.
Management periodically reviews receivables for collectability. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Uncollectible receivables are charged off against the allowance account. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $173,842 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Investments
Investments in partnerships and limited liability companies (LLC) that maintain specific ownership accounts for each investor and where the Company holds an interest of five percent or greater, but does not have control of the partnership or LLC, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Oil and Natural Gas Properties
The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and natural gas properties. Costs incurred by the Company related to the acquisition of oil and natural gas properties and the cost of drilling successful wells are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain wells and related equipment and lease and well operating costs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses arising from sales of properties are included in income. Unproved properties are assessed periodically for possible impairment. The Company had $0 of non-producing properties as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Capitalized amounts attributable to oil and natural gas properties are depleted by the unit-of-production method. Depreciation and depletion expense for oil and natural gas producing property and related equipment was $2,884 and $6,951 for the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Capitalized costs are evaluated for impairment based on an analysis of undiscounted future net cash flows. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value based on expected future discounted cash flows. See Note 5 for additional information regarding the oil and gas properties.
Joint Interest Billings Receivable and Oil and Natural Gas Revenue Payable
Joint interest billings receivable represent amounts receivable for lease operating expenses and other costs due from third party working interest owners in the wells that the Company operates. The receivable is recognized when the cost is incurred.
Oil and natural gas revenues payable represents amounts due to joint interest owners for their share of oil and natural gas revenue collected on their behalf by the Company. The payable is recorded when the Company recognizes oil and natural gas sales and records the related oil and natural gas sales receivable.
The Company had $20,728 and $12,002 net joint interest billing receivable as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Other Property
Other assets classified as property and equipment consists primarily of office furniture and equipment, which are carried at historical cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years. Gain or loss on retirement or sale or other disposition of assets is included in income in the period of disposition.
Environmental Costs
The Company is engaged in oil and natural gas exploration and production and may become subject to certain liabilities as they relate to environmental cleanup of well sites or other environmental restoration procedures as they relate to the drilling of oil and natural gas wells and the operation thereof. In the Company's acquisition of existing or previously drilled well bores, the
XTREME OIL & GAS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011
NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Company may not be aware of what environmental safeguards were taken at the time such wells were drilled or during such time the wells were operated. Should it be determined that a liability exists with respect to any environmental cleanup or restoration, the liability to cure such a violation could fall upon the Company. No claim has been made, nor is the Company aware of any liability, which the Company may have, as it relates to any environmental cleanup, restoration or the violation of any rules or regulations relating thereto.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The asset retirement obligations represent the estimated present value of the amounts expected to be incurred to plug, abandon, and re-mediate the producing properties at the end of their productive lives, in accordance with state laws, as well as the estimated costs associated with the reclamation of the surrounding property. The Company determines the asset retirement obligations by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to the liability. The asset retirement obligations are recorded as a liability at the estimated present value as of the asset’s inception, with an offsetting increase to producing properties. The Company has recorded a liability of $300,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.
The estimated liability is determined using significant assumptions, including current estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, annual inflation of these costs, the productive lives of wells, and a risk-adjusted interest rate. Changes in any of these assumptions can result in significant revisions to the estimated asset retirement obligations. Revisions to the asset retirement obligations are recorded with an offsetting change to producing properties, resulting in prospective changes to depletion and depreciation expense and accretion of the discount. Because of the subjectivity of assumptions and the relatively long lives of most of the wells, the costs to ultimately retire the Company’s wells may vary significantly from prior estimates.
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Non Oil and Gas Properties)
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flow that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets or asset groups are considered to be impaired, the loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value, for non oil and gas properties.
The Company determined that there was no impairment of long-lived (non oil and gas property) assets for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future income tax consequences of temporary differences between financial accounting bases and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying currently enacted income tax rates. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Only income tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold will be recognized.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized and earned. Specifically, the Company recognizes revenue when services are performed and projects are completed and accepted by the customer.
Revenues from sales of crude oil and natural gas products are recorded when deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the commodity transfers to the purchaser. Revenues from the production of oil and natural gas properties in which the Company shares an undivided interest with other producers are recognized based on the actual volumes sold by the Company during the period.
The Company recognizes gains or losses from the sales of its interests in oil and natural gas properties as title passes to the buyer. These amounts are recognized as income from asset sales, net.

Concentration of Risk
Our financial instruments that are potentially exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash, trade receivables and other receivables for which the carrying amounts approximate fair value. At certain times, our demand deposits held in banks exceeded the federally insured limit. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these deposits.
Concentrations of Market Risk
The results of the Company's oil and natural gas operations are impacted by the market prices of oil and natural gas. The availability of a ready market for crude oil, natural gas and liquid products in the future depends on numerous factors beyond the Company's control, including weather, imports, proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and other transportation facilities, any oversupply or undersupply of oil, gas and liquid products, the regulatory environment, the economic environment, and other regional and political events, none of which can be predicted with certainty.
During 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any credit losses on the sale of oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids or hedging contracts.
Segments
The Company operates in only one business segment, namely the drilling and development of oil and gas properties.
Derivative Instruments
The Company’s debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options, which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.
The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments is complex. Our derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liability recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For bifurcated conversion options that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, we determine the fair value of these instruments using binomial option pricing model. That model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instrument and risk-free rates of return, our current Common Stock price and expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our Common Stock price over the life of the option.
Fair Value Estimates
Pursuant to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 820, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, the Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC No. 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. ASC No. 820 establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the asset/liability’s anticipated life.
Level 3-Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011
NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the fair value method which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards (including stock options and stock awards) made to employees and directors based on estimated fair value. Compensation expense for equity-classified awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense in earnings over the requisite service period using a graded vesting method.
We periodically issue common stock for acquisitions and services rendered. Common stock issued is valued at the estimated fair market value, as determined by our management and board of directors. Management and the board of directors consider market price quotations, recent stock offering prices and other factors in determining fair market value for purposes of valuing the common stock.
Loss Per Share
The Company is required to provide basic and dilutive earnings per common share information. The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no securities that would have had a dilutive effect.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the 2011 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 financial presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on net income (loss).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have adopted recently issued accounting pronouncements and have determined that they have no material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow. We do not expect any recently issued but not yet adopted accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
NOTE 3 - Financial Condition and Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $33,794,388 and has historically had losses. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to obtain debt and/or equity financing and achieve profitable operations.
The Company’s management intends to raise additional operating funds through equity and/or debt offerings, increase our current production, and continue development drilling on our properties. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support the Company's working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available, the Company may be required to curtail its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt as to its ability to obtain debt and/or equity financing and achieving future profitable operations.

During the second quarter 2012, the Company began full-time operations taking saltwater from multiple water hauling companies in the area. We acquired a 10% working interest from the ADA Energy Services and took over operations on May 29, 2012 in exchange for a 5 cent per barrel of water disposed fee payable upon collecting revenue from disposal customers. Development work in progress on the Saltwater Disposal well was $0 as of December 31, 2012.

NOTE 6 - Income Taxes - continued
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rate of 34% to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 due to the following:
The Company has determined that a valuation allowance of approximately $2,200,000 at December 31, 2012, is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more than likely than not be realized. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $6,800,000, which is available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, with expiration beginning 2028 and ending 2032.

NOTE 9 - Notes Payable and Convertible Notes Payable - continued
In connection with the issuance of the Notes and Warrants, the conversion features are accounted for as derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and adjusted to fair value through earnings at each reporting date, due to anti-dilution reset features. The fair value was estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option-pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 290%; risk-free interest rate of 0.05% and an expected holding period of 24 months for the Notes and 60 months for the Warrants. The resulting values, at the date of issuance, were allocated to the proceeds received and applied as a discount to the face value of the Notes and Warrants. The Company recorded a derivative expense on the Notes of $649,212 at inception and a further derivative expense on the Warrants of $2,431,437 at inception based on the guidance in
ASC 815-10 and ASC 815-40-15 due to a reset feature on the exercise price.
In regards to the Notes, the Company also recognized a derivative liability of $1,484,806 at December 31, 2011 and a change in fair value of $682,150 for the year ended December 31, 2012, and redemptions of $575,586 for the year ended December 31, 2012, resulting in a derivative liability of $227,070 at December 31, 2012.
In regards to the Warrants, the Company also recognized a derivative liability of $1,253,018 at December 31, 2011 and a change in fair value of $1,074,615 for the year ended December 31, 2012, resulting in a derivative liability of $178,403 at December 31, 2012.
The following tables illustrate the fair value adjustments that were recorded related to the derivative financial instruments associated with the convertible debenture financings:
NOTE 10 - Stockholders’ equity
Nontransferable Preferred Stock
We have one class of Preferred Stock and Nontransferable Preferred Stock. The Nontransferable Preferred Stock, consisting of 1,000 shares, is all owned by Mr. McAndrew.
Holders of the Nontransferable Preferred stock are not entitled to receive any dividend, the stock is not transferrable, does not participate in any liquidation, and the stock is not convertible. These shares may be transferred only to an entity for estate planning purposes provided that entity is controlled by the holder, in this case, Mr. McAndrew.
In the event that Mr. McAndrew dies, becomes incompetent for a period of six weeks such that Mr. McAndrew is unable to exercise his voting rights or voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company, the Nontransferable Preferred Stock is automatically cancelled.
The 1,000 shares of Nontransferable Preferred Stock have the number of votes equal to 1.1 times the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Accordingly, except for votes requiring more than a majority vote of shares of common stock, Mr. McAndrew will determine the outcome of the vote. The only such provision of Nevada law or as required by our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws is the removal of directors.

In December 2012, we signed an agreement to acquire 90% of Rick’s Transport Services business to complement our saltwater disposal well business for $8,000,000 and 2,000,000 shares of restricted common stock. We engaged an investment bank to raise the funds for the acquisition and if successful it will add positive cash flow and earnings to Xtreme in 2013. The agreement with Rick’s Transport Services expires on April 17, 2013.
On April 15, 2013, Xtreme Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Xtreme” or the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Torchlight Energy, Inc. (“Torchlight”) related to Xtreme’s Kansas, or Smokey Hills, prospect and all of the Company’s properties in Oklahoma.
Torchlight shall acquire one-half of the Company’s interest in the Smokey Hills prospect and assume the Company’s obligation to complete the first well drilled on the prospect plus additional costs previously billed to Xtreme by the operator. Torchlight will assume Xtreme’s obligation under its working interest in the prospect to drill the planned second well.
With respect to the Oklahoma properties, the Company shall convey half of its working interest and all related equipment in the Lenhart well and shall acquire all of the Company’s interest in the Robinson and Hancock wells. Torchlight shall also acquire 90% of the Overriding Royalty Interest in the Company’s Salt Water Disposal Well and Facility, as defined, but such interest is junior to the interests of investors in the well. In its discretion, Torchlight will pay the cost to re-enter the Lenhart well.
These transactions provide the resources to develop further wells that working interest owners in the various prospects own.
Payments to the Company, other than the $100,000 payable upon execution of the agreement, roughly total $1,200,000 depending upon certain costs assumed by Torchlight.
The agreement also grants to Torchlight the option to acquire for $4,000,000 in Torchlight Common Stock the balance of the Company’s interest in the Smokey Hills prospect if the first well drilled reaches 300 barrels of equivalent per day. Torchlight also has the option to acquire the balance of the working interest in the Lenhart prospect for $1,000,000 in Torchlight Common Stock should that well reach 50 barrels of oil equivalent production per day. Both production goals must reach the level of defined production within 30 days of completion.
The Company shall continue development opportunities of its largest prospect by asset valuation, the West Thrift Units.
On March 28, 2013, the Company formed a committee to advise the Company with respect to the Torchlight transaction discussed above. The committee consists of three stockholders of the Company, Brandon Chabner, Keith Houser, and Ben Doherty.
As part of the review of the Torchlight transaction, Torchlight had asked that Mr. McAndrew act as a consultant to Torchlight, necessitating a release by the Company of the Mr. McAndrew’s covenant not to compete with the Company. The committee approved that release. Accordingly, though Mr. McAndrew will remain the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and an employee of the Company, he will act as a consultant to Torchlight.
