You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “should,” “will,” ‘would,” or similar words.

However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control. Further, we urge you to be cautious of the forward-looking statements that are contained in this Form 10-K because they involve risks, uncertainties and other factors affecting our operations, market growth, service, products and licenses.

The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.
Corporate History
Tiger Oil and Energy, Inc.,( formerly UTEC INC., formerly Lyon Capital Venture Corp., is a Nevada corporation organized on November 8, 1993 as a “For Profit” corporation for the purpose of engaging in any lawful activity. The Company was in the development stage through December 31, 2006. The year ended December 31, 2007, is the first year during which the Company is considered an operating company and was no longer considered in a development stage. On January 10, 2007, the Company purchased 100% of the shares of UTEC Corporation, Inc. from Energetic Systems Inc. LLC, for a total consideration of 22,500,000 of the Company’s par value $0.001 common shares and 20,000 of the Company’s par value $0.001 preferred shares. Each share of our preferred stock entitles the owner to 2,500 votes. Shares of our preferred shares can be converted to two common for one preferred. The Company also issued 2,525,000 common shares in finder’s fees.
Business of Issuer
On October 27, 2010 we entered into a co-development agreement with Black Hawk Exploration, (BHWX), in which we, after an investment of $400,000 by the Company in a new well in Black Hawk’s Cowley County lease, we will earn a 40% working interest in the # 1 Baker well, BHWX will receive a 50% interest in the new well and TGRO will have the right to participate in the nine-well rework program at the Cowley Prospect. BHWX will receive a 20% interest in any other new well TGRO drills on Black Hawk’s current or future Cowley County, Kansas leases and Black Hawk has the option to invest in each additional new well drilled by TGRO on a prorated basis up to an additional 30%.
On November 29, 2010, the Company expanded its original agreement and entered into a co-development agreement with Black Hawk Exploration covering approximately 2,553 acres of oil and gas leases in Cowley County, Kansas. BHWX owns 100% of the leases within the Prospect Area and has an undivided 81.5% working interest in and to the oil and gas leases and their previous 10 shut-in oil and gas wells.
The joint agreement includes in one shut-in oil/gas well, the #1 Baker, located on the Keith Baker lease. Also subject to joint development is a 100% interest in 9 other oil wells previously shut-in. The Company’s program calls for re-working all 10 locations directly or in joint venture with Black Hawk and returning all of them to cash flow production.
On February 4, 2011, we retained International IR Inc. (IRR) to provide media services. IIR is a strategic consulting firm that works primarily with emerging growth companies in the resource sector. IIR will focus on providing multiple information platforms to TGRO’s shareholders and advise as well as negotiate on behalf of the Company, acquisition, exploration and joint venture agreements and strategies.
On February 9th, 2011, we acquired a 100% interest in three Oil and Gas leases totaling 400 acres in Southern Kansas, comprised of three historically productive properties. Our Geologist has reviewed the Holman #2, #3, #4, and #5; the Adams #1 and the Glasse wells commonly known as the Wise #1 and Roberts #1 and have recommended a seven-well exploration and production study. All the leases acquired by the parties covering lands within the prospect area are owned 100% by TGRO with an undivided eighty-one and one-half percent (81.5%) working interest in the oil and gas leases described. The Company issued a Note and 250,000 shares of its common stock in the acquisition. We will require an investment of $400,000 to initiate putting these wells back into production. Management believes this can be accomplished and is considering various options to acquire this funding, but has not yet entered into an agreement to do so.
On May 4, 2014, we acquired 30% WI in the DeFore and Stalnaker leases in Cowley County from a Company affiliated with the President of our Company. The Company paid $402,000 for their share of drilling two wells on the leases. Both wells went online and began production in 2015.
The Company will continue to evaluate shut in wells in the states of Kansas and Oklahoma with intention of putting historically productive wells back into production at the least cost. We will then need to enter into private placement agreements to fund the programs.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our bylaws contain provisions which require that the company indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents, in substantially the same language as Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Article 12 of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation provides for the Company’s ability to indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents, subject to the limitations provided in Nevada Revised Statutes 78.7502, for expenses actually and reasonably incurred. No indemnification shall be made if the proposed party has been adjudged to be liable to the company or where the matter was settled without court approval. Indemnification must be made upon a determination by a majority of the uninterested Board, and if not available, by the shareholders or by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Going Concern
The future of our company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the sale of products and services through our websites. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock, if necessary. Our auditors have expressed a going concern opinion because uncertainties raise doubts about the Issuers ability to continue as a going concern.
Background
Corporate Overview
Unless otherwise indicated, in this 10K, references to “we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company,” “TGRO” refer to Tiger Oil and Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (formerly UTEC, Inc.) and Jett Rink which became a wholly owned subsidiary October 29, 2010 after the closing of the voluntary share exchange transaction described above.. Future plans include the exploration, development and production of oil and gas in the United States. Our current focus is to secure $1,400,000 in financing to increase our holdings and develop our current oil and gas assets over the next twelve months.
On October 29, 2010 the Company changed its corporate name to Tiger Oil and Energy, Inc.
On October 27, 2010 Tiger Oil and Energy, Inc. (TGRO) entered into a co-development agreement with Black Hawk Exploration, in which the Company, after an investment of $400,000 by TGRO in a new well in Black Hawk’s Cowley County lease, the Company will earn a 40% working interest in the # 1 Baker well, BHWX will receive a 50% interest in the new well and TGRO will have the right to participate in the 9 well rework program at the Cowley Prospect. BHWX will receive a 20% interest in any other new well TGRO drills on Black Hawk’s current or future Cowley County, Kansas leases and Black Hawk has the option to invest in each additional new well drilled by TGRO on a prorated basis up to an additional 30%.
On November 29, 2010 the Company expanded its original agreement and entered into a joint venture agreement with Black Hawk Exploration covering approximately 2,553 acres of oil and gas leases in Cowley County, Kansas. BHWX owns 100% of the leases within the Prospect Area and has an undivided 81.5% working interest in and to the oil and gas leases and their previous 10 shut-in oil and gas wells.

Revenues
Revenues from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $-0- and $15,008 respectively. In 2009, as part of the sale of the legacy business the Company divested all assets that generated revenue. During the 2015 fiscal year the Company once again began recognizing revenues on the sale of oil and gas. In 2016 the Company reduced activity with its oil and gas properties, due to the low prices of oil and gas. The Company anticipates increasing production once oil and gas prices rebound to historical norms.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $110,590 and $490,655, respectively. Of these totals, general and administrative expenses amounted to $36,840 and $38,365, respectively; legal and professional expenses totaled $68,882 and $46,059, respectively; lease operating expenses of $4,079 and $689; and accretion expense totaled $789 and $715, respectively. Additionally, in the 2015 fiscal year the Company recorded an impairment of its oil and gas properties in the amount of $404,837.

Such funding that is required to maintain liquidity will come in the form of equity sales of common stock.

Item 9A(T).
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
As of December 31, 2016, under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a - 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Sec. 240.13a-15 or 240.15d-15 the disclosure controls and procedures have been found to be not effective.
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports filed under the securities Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of Dec. 31, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. In management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c), our management concluded as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that our internal control over financial reporting has not been effective.
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of December 31, 2016:
i) Lack of segregation of duties. At this time, our resources and size prevent us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have adequate segregation of duties within our internal control system. Management will periodically reevaluate this situation.
ii) Lack of an independent audit committee. Although we have an audit committee it is not comprised solely of independent directors. We may establish an audit committee comprised solely of independent directors when we have sufficient capital resources and working capital to attract qualified independent directors and to maintain such a committee.
iii) Insufficient number of independent directors. At the present time, our Board of Directors does not consist of a majority of independent directors, a factor that is counter to corporate governance practices as set forth by the rules of various stock exchanges.
Our management determined that these deficiencies constituted material weaknesses. Due to a lack of financial resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses. We will not be able to do so until we acquire sufficient financing to do so. We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permit. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years covered thereby in all material respects.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
The Company has not taken any steps at this time to address these weaknesses but expects to formulate a plan before fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

POLICY ON AUDIT COMMITTEE
Among its other duties, the Audit Committee is solely responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. Pursuant to the Audit Committee’s charter, the Chairman of the Audit Committee has been delegated responsibility to review and pre-approve audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. The Chairman of the Audit Committee then reports such pre-approvals to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. In accordance with this pre-approval policy, management communicates, on an ongoing basis, specific projects and categories of service for which the advance approval of the Audit Committee is requested. The Audit Committee Chairman reviews these requests and advises management whether the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm is approved. On a periodic basis, management subsequently reports to the Audit Committee regarding the actual spending for particular projects and in connection with categories of services.
Management is responsible for the financial reporting process, including the system of internal controls, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing those financial statements. The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of accounting or auditing and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Rather, the members of the Audit Committee rely, without independent verification, on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and the independent registered public accounting firm.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Company’s previous or future filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that might incorporate filings made by the Company, including this proxy statement, in whole or in part, the following Audit Committee Report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be incorporated by reference into any prior or future filings made by the Company.
We have reviewed and discussed with management the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Based on the reviews and discussions with the audit group, we have recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements referred to above be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
The Board of Directors
Tiger Oil And Energy Inc.
Indian Creek Ln,
Suite
Las Vegas, NV 89149
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tiger Oil And Energy Inc. as of December 31, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tiger Oil And Energy Inc. as of December 31, 2016 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raises a substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Tiger Oil and Energy, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2015 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit 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 consolidated 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tiger Oil and Energy, Inc. as of December 31, 2015, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses and has accumulated a significant deficit. These factors 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Activity
Tiger Oil and Energy, Inc., formerly UTeC, Inc., is a Nevada corporation organized on November 8, 1993 as a “For Profit” corporation for the purpose of engaging in any lawful activity. On January 10, 2007, the Company purchased 100% of the shares of UTeC Corporation, Inc. In 2007, the Company licensed technology covering the use of cold plasma oxidizer technology for the destruction of solid and liquid hazardous chemicals and biologicals. During 2007 and 2008, the Company worked to validate the technology and prepare a business plan for its commercialization.
In April 2009, the Company divested its commercial explosives development, analysis, testing and manufacturing business to eliminate the need to inject new capital into the Company to support this business, and concentrate on raising the funds necessary to commercialize its hazardous waste destruction business. At this time, the Company re-entered the development stage.
Prior to the divestiture, the Company’s business was to offer state of the art testing and analysis to clients worldwide. The Company operated a chemical research and development laboratory near Riverton, Kansas, which specialized in commercial explosives development and analysis. The Company also operated a destructive test facility near Hallowell, Kansas, which specialized in determining the detonating characteristics of commercial explosives.
On October 1, 2009 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the outstanding shares of C2R Energy Commodities, Inc., a Nevada corporation, in exchange for 4,050,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. The Company entered into this agreement due primarily to the fact that C2R owned certain intellectual property that the Company wished to acquire.
On October 29, 2010, the Company acquired all of the membership interest in Jett Rink Oil, LLC (“Jett Rink”) in exchange for 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Jett Rink is involved in the business relating to the exploration, development and production of oil and gas in the United States. At the closing of the Exchange Agreement, Jett Rink became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company acquired the business and operations of Jett Rink.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements and related notes include the activity of the Company and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, C2R Energy Commodities, Inc. and Jett Rink Oil, LLC and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to Form 10-K. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported losses.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements included all of the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, C2R, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, and Jett Rink Oil, LLC, a Kansas Limited Liability Company. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Accounting Method
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 year-end.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. The Company at times may maintain a cash balance in excess of insured limits.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major additions and improvements are capitalized in the month following the month in which the assets or improvement are deemed to be placed in service. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon disposition, the net book value is eliminated from the accounts, with the resultant gain or loss reflected in operations. Depreciation expense is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimate useful lives of the assets as follows:
The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of property, plant and equipment and evaluates such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is determined to exist if estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the net carrying amount.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 360 for its long-lived assets. The Company’s long-lived assets, which include test equipment and purchased intellectual property rights, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

December 31, 2016 and 2015
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets (Continued)
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives.
The Company recognized impairment expense totaling $-0- and $404,837 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data
Stock-based Compensation
The Company adopted ASC 718 effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.
Provision for Taxes
The Company applies ASC 740, which requires the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method requires that the current or deferred tax consequences of all events recognized in the financial statements be measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes payable or refundable currently or in future years. Deferred tax assets are reviewed for recoverability and the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be recovered.
The Company adopted ASC 740, at the beginning of fiscal year 2008. This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach, requiring the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The adoption of ASC 740 had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
Basic and diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. The Company had 1,200,000 potential dilutive shares as of December 31, 2016 that were excluded as their effect was anti-dilutive.
Reporting Segments
ASC 280 establishes standards for the way that public enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. ASC 280 defines operating segments as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performances. Currently, ASC 280 has no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted in one industry segment.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all acquisition, exploration and development costs, including certain payroll, asset retirement costs, other internal costs, and interest incurred for the purpose of finding oil and natural gas reserves, are capitalized. Internal costs that are capitalized are directly attributable to acquisition, exploration and development activities and do not include costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. Costs associated with production and general corporate activities are expensed in the period incurred. Proceeds from the sale of oil and natural gas properties are applied to reduce the capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties unless the sale would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves, in which case a gain or loss is recognized.
Capitalized costs associated with impaired properties and capitalized costs related to properties having proved reserves, plus the estimated future development costs, and asset retirement costs under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 410 “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” (FASB ASC 410), are amortized using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves. Capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties, net of accumulated amortization and deferred income taxes, are limited to the total of estimated future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves, discounted at ten percent, plus the cost of unevaluated properties. Under certain specific conditions, companies could elect to use subsequent prices for determining the estimated future net cash flows. The use of subsequent pricing is no longer allowed. There are many factors, including global events that may influence the production, processing, marketing and price of oil and natural gas. A reduction in the valuation of oil and natural gas properties resulting from declining prices or production could adversely impact depletion rates and capitalized cost limitations. Capitalized costs associated with properties that have not been evaluated through drilling or seismic analysis, including exploration wells in progress at December 31, 2016, are excluded from the unit-of-production amortization. Exclusions are adjusted annually based on drilling results and interpretative analysis.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Oil and Gas Properties (Continued)
Sales of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to the net full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized, unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. If it is determined that the relationship is significantly altered, the corresponding gain or loss will be recognized in the statements of operations.
Costs of oil and gas properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $-0- of depletion expense related to oil and gas production during the period.
Ceiling Test
In applying the full cost method, the Company performs an impairment test (ceiling test) at each reporting date, whereby the carrying value of property and equipment is compared to the value of its proved reserves discounted at a ten percent interest rate of future net revenues, based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the cost of properties not being amortized, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties included in costs being amortized, less the income tax effects related to book and tax basis differences of the properties. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had recorded $-0- and $404,837, respectively, of impairment expense in connection with the full cost ceiling test calculation.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company follows ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations which requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) and recorded a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The asset retirement obligation primarily relates to the abandonment of oil and gas properties. The present value of the estimated asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of oil and gas properties and is depleted over the useful life of the asset. The settlement date fair value is discounted at our credit adjusted risk-free rate in determining the abandonment liability. The abandonment liability is accreted with the passage of time to its expected settlement fair value. Revisions to such estimates are recorded as adjustments to ARO are charged to operations in the period in which they become known. At the time the abandonment cost is incurred, the Company is required to recognize a gain or loss if the actual costs do not equal the estimated costs included in ARO.
The ARO is based upon numerous estimates and assumptions, including future abandonment costs, future recoverable quantities of oil and gas, future inflation rates, and the credit adjusted risk free interest rate.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of its consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
On April 3, 2014, the Company signed an election to participate in the first of three wells with Toto Energy, LLC in Cowley County, Kansas. The Company has a 30 percent working interest and a 24.45 percent net royalty interest in the well. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has capitalized $213,000 of cash payments made to commence operations development of the well.
On May 10, 2014, the Company signed an election to participate in the second of three wells with Toto Energy, LLC in Cowley County, Kansas. The Company has a 30 percent working interest and a 24.45 percent net royalty interest in the well. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has capitalized $189,000 of cash payments made to commence operations development of the well.
On July 23, 2016, the Company received $58,684 from the operator of two of its oil and gas leases. The payment received represented a partial refund of the Company’s previous $404,837 in payments made to the operator pursuant to the terms of an Authorization for Expenditures (“AFE”) Agreement. The Company’s original payments under the AFE were capitalized to oil and gas properties in 2014. All capitalized costs pursuant to the AFE were fully impaired during the year ended December 31, 2015. As the capitalized costs had been previously impaired, the $58,684 was recorded as a gain on property settlement for the period ended December 31, 2016.
Oil and gas properties are stated at cost. As of December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, oil and gas properties, net consisted of the following:

NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
On January 3, 2014, the Company received $600,000 in connection with a convertible note financing commitment, the terms of which call for the Company to receive three tranches of $200,000 each on a callable convertible note wherein the Company borrows the sum at five percent interest for one year and the investor can elect to continue to receive the interest on the note or have the Company issue the investor shares of common stock of the Company at $0.50 per share to retire the debt. The notes came due on December 12, 2014, and as of December 31, 2016 the notes were in default. At December 31, 2016 accrued interest on the notes totaled $89,616.
The Company analyzed the convertible debts under ASC 470-20 and determined that a beneficial conversion feature existed at execution. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was determined to be $400,000 and was recorded as additional paid-in capital with an offset to debt discounts. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, $-0- and $3,288 of the debt discount was amortized to interest expense, respectively, leaving an ending debt discount balance of $-0- at December 31, 2016 and 2015.
NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE
On May 6, 2015 the Company borrowed $5,000 from an unrelated third-party entity. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the principal accrued interest at a rate of five percent per annum, was unsecured, and came due on May 6, 2016. During the 2016 calendar year, the Company paid the note in full, inclusive of $305 in accrued interest.
NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY
On June 11, 2015 the Company borrowed $5,000 from a related-party entity. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the principal accrues interest at a rate of five percent per annum, is unsecured, and is due in full on June 11, 2016. Subsequent to the initial borrowing the Company borrowed an additional $57,500 from the same lender under the same terms. On July 25, 2016 the Company paid $40,000 against the outstanding principal of the notes. Accrued interest totaling $1,340 was forgiven at the time of payment, and recorded as additional paid-in capital. At December 31, 2016 the total outstanding principal balance due to the lender was $22,500, and aggregate accrued interest on the notes totaled $465.
On May 6, 2015 the Company borrowed $5,000 from an unrelated third-party entity. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the principal accrues interest at a rate of five percent per annum, is unsecured, and is due in full on May 6, 2016. On July 25, 2015 the note, inclusive of all unpaid principal and interest, was transferred to and assumed by a related party. On July 25, 2016 the Company repaid the full $5,000 principal balance due under the terms of the note. Accrued interest on the note totaling $305 was forgiven at the time of payment, and recorded as additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2016 the note principal and interest have been satisfied in full.
On March 7, 2016 the Company borrowed $10,000 from a related-party. Pursuant to the terms of the note the principal accrues interest at a rate of five percent per annum, is unsecured, and is due in full on May 6, 2017. On May 2, 2016 the Company borrowed an additional $4,000 under the same terms. On October 4, 2016 the Company borrowed an additional $25,000 under the same terms.

NOTE 7 - ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
The total future asset retirement obligation is estimated by management based on the Company’s net working interests in all wells and facilities, estimated costs to reclaim and abandon wells and facilities and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future periods. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company estimated the undiscounted cash flows related to asset retirement obligation to total approximately $105,000. The actual costs to settle the obligation are expected to occur in approximately 25 years. Through December 31, 2016, the Company established an asset retirement obligation of $9,860 for the wells acquired by the Company, which was capitalized to the value of the oil and gas properties. The fair value of the liability at December 31, 2016 and 2015 is estimated to be $12,323 and $11,534, respectively, using a risk free rate of 9.31 percent and inflation rates between 3.87 and 4.81 percent. Total accretion expense on the asset retirement obligation was $789 and $715 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Changes to the asset retirement obligation for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
The Company has 1,000,000 preferred shares authorized at a par value of $0.001 and 74,000,000 common shares authorized at par value of $0.001. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has 42,013 shares of preferred stock and 42,728,159 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
NOTE 9 - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company was owed its directors an aggregate of $33,000 and $16,000, respectively, in accrued director fees.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES
No provision has been made in the financial statements for income taxes because the Company has accumulated losses from operations since inception. Any deferred tax benefit arising from the operating loss carried forward is offset entirely by a valuation allowance since it is currently not likely that the Company will be significantly profitable in the near future to take advantage of the losses. The provision for income taxes consists of the following:
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rates of 34% to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 due to the following:
At December 31, 2016, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,776,611 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2034. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740 at the beginning of fiscal year 2008. As a result of this adoption, the Company has not made any adjustments to deferred tax assets or liabilities. The Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions on returns that have been filed or that will be filed. The Company has not had operations resulting in net income and is carrying a large Net Operating Loss as disclosed above. Since it is not thought that this Net Operating Loss will ever produce a tax benefit, even if examined by taxing authorities and disallowed entirely, there would be no effect on the financial statements.
NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
During the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company became party to a legal action brought about by an unrelated third-party individual, wherein the plaintiff alleges the Company “participated and/or conspired in a scheme to disseminate spam emails” which were misleading in order to encourage individuals to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an artificial and/or inflated stock price.
On October 10, 2016, the Company reached a settlement agreement whereby the Company agreed to pay $11,000 in exchange for a general release of all claims against the Company. As of December 31, 2016, the case is considered fully resolved and closed.

Oil and Gas Producing Activities
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-03, "Oil and Gas Reserve Estimations and Disclosures" (ASU No. 2010-03). This update aligns the current oil and gas reserve estimation and disclosure requirements of the Extractive Industries - Oil and Gas topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC Topic 932) with the changes required by the final rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), "Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting." ASU No. 2010-03 must be applied prospectively as a change in accounting principle that is inseparable from a change in accounting estimate and is effective for entities with annual reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2009.
Oil and Gas Reserves Users of this information should be aware that the process of estimating quantities of "proved," "proved developed," "proved undeveloped" and "probable" crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves is complex, requiring significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of all available geological, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. The data for a given reservoir may also change substantially over time as a result of numerous factors including, but not limited to, additional development activity, evolving production history and continual reassessment of the viability of production under varying economic conditions. Consequently, material revisions (upward or downward) to existing reserve estimates may occur from time to time. Although reasonable effort is made to ensure that reserve estimates reported represent the most accurate assessments possible, the significance of the subjective decisions required and variances in available data for various reservoirs make these estimates generally less precise than other estimates presented in connection with financial statement disclosures. See ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.
Proved reserves represent estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas that geoscience and engineering data can estimate, with reasonable certainty, to be economically producible from a given day forward from known reservoirs under economic conditions, operating methods and government regulation before the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation.
Proved developed reserves are proved reserves expected to be recovered under operating methods being utilized at the time the estimates were made, through wells and equipment in place or if the cost of any required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well.
Proved undeveloped reserves are reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required. Reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances. Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances justify a longer time. Estimates for proved undeveloped reserves are not attributed to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

Oil and Gas Producing Activities (Continued)
Probable undeveloped reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered. Probable reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to proved reserves where data control or interpretations of available data are less certain, even if the interpreted reservoir continuity of structure or productivity does not meet the reasonable certainty criterion. Probable reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.
No major acquisition or sale of oil and gas properties or other favorable or adverse event subsequent to December 31, 2016 is believed to have caused a material change in the estimates of proved developed or proved undeveloped or probable undeveloped reserves as of that date.
NET PROVED RESERVE SUMMARY
The following table sets forth the Company's net proved reserves, including proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves, at December 31, 2016 and 2015, as pursuant to reserve reports prepared by the Company’s independent, certified petroleum engineer.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Relating to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves The following information has been developed utilizing procedures prescribed by ASC Topic 932 and is based on crude oil and natural gas reserves and production volumes estimated by the Company’s independent petroleum consultants. The estimates were based on a $43.92/BO crude oil price. The following information may be useful for certain comparison purposes, but should not be solely relied upon in evaluating the Company or its performance. Further, information contained in the following table should not be considered as representative of realistic assessments of future cash flows, nor should the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows be viewed as representative of the current value of the Company.
The future cash flows presented below are based on sales prices, cost rates and statutory income tax rates in existence as of the date of the projections. It is expected that material revisions to some estimates of crude oil and natural gas reserves may occur in the future, development and production of the reserves may occur in periods other than those assumed, and actual prices realized and costs incurred may vary significantly from those used.
Future production and development costs were computed by estimating those expenditures expected to occur in developing and producing the proved oil and natural gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs. Actual future cash inflows may vary considerably, and the standardized measure does not necessarily represent the fair value of the Company’s oil and natural gas reserves.
Management does not rely upon the following information in making investment and operating decisions. Such decisions are based upon a wide range of factors, including estimates of probable and possible reserves as well as proved reserves, and varying price and cost assumptions considered more representative of a range of possible economic conditions that may be anticipated.
The following table sets forth the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows from projected production of the Company’s oil and gas reserves as of December 31, 2016 and 2015:
