RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the following risk factors before investing in our common stock. Our business and results of operations could be seriously harmed by any of the following risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose part or all of your investment .

We are a development stage company and have limited assets and no revenues.   We were only recently formed and have no revenues to date.  Since our formation, we have focused on raising our initial capital and, to date, we have raised $240,500 through our sale of 962,000 common shares at $0.25 per share.  In September 2011, we acquired our initial property consisting of a 31.25% working interest in an exploratory oil and gas drilling prospect covering 120 acres in Eastland County, Texas, however we have not acquired or developed any additional assets or operations. We are in the development stage and are subject to all risks inherent in a new venture. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of problems, expenses, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the development of a new business.  We do not have a significant operating history and, as a result, there is a limited amount of information about us on which to make an investment decision.
 
We will require additional capital in order to achieve commercial success and, if necessary, to finance future losses from operations as we endeavor to build revenue, but we do not have any commitments to obtain such capital and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain adequate capital as and when required.   The business of oil and gas acquisition, drilling and development is capital intensive and the level of operations attainable by an oil and gas company is directly linked to and limited by the amount of available capital.  As of September 30, 2011, we had total assets of $223,855, including working capital of $169,346.  We believe that our ability to achieve commercial success and our continued growth will be dependent on our ability to access capital either through the additional sale of our equity or debt securities, bank lines of credit, project financing or cash generated from oil and gas operations. We will seek to obtain additional working capital through the sale of our securities and, subject to the successful deployment of our cash on hand, we will endeavor to obtain additional capital through bank lines of credit and project financing.  However, we have no agreements or understandings with any third parties at this time for our receipt of additional working capital and we have no history of generating cash from oil and gas operations.   Consequently, there can be no assurance we will be able to obtain continued access to capital as and when needed or, if so, that the terms of any available financing will be subject to commercially reasonable terms.
 
We were formed for the purpose of conducting the joint development of certain oil and gas properties in North America with oil and gas operators. We intend to pursue prospects in partnership with other oil and gas companies with expertise in the exploration, development and production of oil and gas properties in North America.  While we intend to focus on the pursuit of opportunities in the oil and gas sector, we may also pursue the exploration and development of other natural resource properties from time to time.  As of the date of this prospectus, we have acquired our initial property consisting of a 31.25% working interest in an exploratory oil and gas drilling prospect covering 120 acres in Eastland County, Texas.  Drilling and development of the acreage will be conducted by an unaffiliated third-party. However, we do not have any other agreements in place concerning the acquisition of oil and gas or other natural resource properties.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete an acquisition on terms acceptable to us.

Our management has no prior experience in operating an oil and gas business .  At the present time, we have two employees, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, Stephen Jones and John Kerr, respectively, who also serve as the sole members of our board of directors.  Neither Mr. Jones nor Mr. Kerr has any prior experience in the oil and gas business other than as private investors. We intend to expand our management team and board of directors with personnel who have experience in the oil and gas business, however we have no agreements or understandings in place as of the date of this prospectus concerning the appointment of any additional personnel and there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. Until such time, if ever, as we do, the success of our company will be dependent on the decisions and actions undertaken by Mr. Jones and Mr. Kerr.

We have limited management and staff and will be dependent for the foreseeable future upon consultants and partnering arrangements. At the present time, we have two employees, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, Stephen Jones and John Kerr, respectively.  We have developed an operating strategy that is based on our participation in exploration prospects in North America as a non-operator for the foreseeable future.  We intend to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services, including reservoir engineering, land, legal, environmental and tax services.  We will also pursue alliances with partners in the areas of geological and geophysical services and prospect generation, evaluation and prospect leasing.  As a non-operator working interest owner, we intend to rely on outside operators to drill, produce and market our natural gas and oil.  While we believe that by limiting our management and employees we may be able to better control costs and retain flexibility in terms of project management, our dependence on third party consultants, service providers and operators creates a number of risks, including but not limited to:

 
2

 


 
the possibility that such third parties may not be available to us  as and when needed; and

 
the risk that we may not be able to properly control the timing and quality of work conducted with respect to our projects.

Shortages or increases in costs of equipment, services and qualified personnel could delay the drilling of exploratory wells and adversely affect our future results of operations and the price of our common stock.    The demand for qualified and experienced personnel to conduct field operations, geologists, geophysicists, engineers and other professionals in the oil and natural gas industry can fluctuate significantly, often in correlation with oil and natural gas prices, causing periodic shortages.  Historically, there have been shortages of drilling rigs and other equipment as demand for rigs and equipment has increased along with the number of wells being drilled.  These factors also cause significant increases in costs for equipment, services and personnel.  Higher oil and natural gas prices generally stimulate demand and result in increased prices for drilling rigs, crews and associated supplies, equipment and services.  Shortages of field personnel and equipment or price increases could significantly hinder the ability of our operating partners to conduct drilling operations, which could adversely affect our results of operations and stock price.

Our industry is highly competitive which may adversely affect our performance, including our ability to participate in ready to drill prospects in our core areas .  We operate in a highly competitive environment.  In addition to capital, the principal resources necessary for the exploration and production of oil and natural gas are:

 
·
leasehold prospects under which oil and natural gas reserves may be discovered;
 
·
drilling rigs and related equipment to explore for such reserves; and
 
·
knowledgeable personnel to conduct all phases of oil and natural gas operations.

Numerous large, well-financed firms with large cash reserves are engaged in the acquisition of oil and gas properties in North Amercia.  Our competitors in acquisitions, development, exploration and production include major oil companies, numerous independents, individual proprietors and others.  We expect competition to be intense for available target oil and gas properties.  Such competition could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and operating results, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors or that competitive pressures faced by us will not materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
Drilling for and producing oil and natural gas are high risk activities with many uncertainties that could delay the anticipated drilling schedule for exploratory wells and adversely affect our future results of operations and stock price.   The drilling and completion of exploratory wells are subject to numerous risks beyond our control or the control of our operating partners, including risks that could delay the proposed drilling schedules and the risk that drilling will not result in commercially viable oil and natural gas production.  Drilling for oil and natural gas can be unprofitable if dry wells are drilled and if productive wells do not produce sufficient revenues to return a profit.  The decisions by us and our operating partners to develop or otherwise exploit certain prospects will depend in part on the evaluation of data obtained through geophysical and geological analyses, production data and engineering studies, the results of which are often inconclusive or subject to varying interpretations.  The costs of drilling, completing and operating wells are often uncertain before drilling commences.  Overruns in budgeted expenditures are common risks that can make a particular project uneconomical.  There can be no assurance that an exploratory well that is successfully completed will pay out the capital costs spent to drill it.  Drilling and production operations on an exploratory well may be curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of various factors, including the following:

 
·
delays imposed by or resulting from compliance with regulatory requirements including permitting;
 
·
unusual or unexpected geological formations and miscalculations;
 
·
shortages of or delays in obtaining equipment and qualified personnel;

 
3

 


 
·
equipment malfunctions, failures or accidents;
 
·
lack of available gathering facilities or delays in construction of gathering facilities;
 
·
lack of available capacity on interconnecting transmission pipelines;
 
·
lack of adequate electrical infrastructure;
 
·
unexpected operational events and drilling conditions;
 
·
pipe or cement failures and casing collapses;
 
·
pressures, fires, blowouts, and explosions;
 
·
lost or damaged drilling and service tools;
 
·
loss of drilling fluid circulation;
 
·
uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids water or drilling fluids;
 
·
natural disasters;
 
·
environmental hazards, such as oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids leaks, pipeline ruptures and discharges of toxic gases or fluids;
 
·
adverse weather conditions such as extreme cold, fires caused by extreme heat or lack of rain, and severe storms or tornadoes;
 
·
reductions in oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids prices;
 
·
oil and natural gas property title problems; and
 
·
market limitations for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids.

If any of these or other similar industry operating risks occur, we could have substantial losses.  Substantial losses also may result from injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and suspension of operations.  In accordance with industry practice, we intend to obtain insurance against some, but not all, of the risks described above.  However, we have no such insurance at this time and we cannot assure you that any insurance obtained by us will be adequate to cover losses or liabilities.
 
Market conditions for oil and natural gas, and particularly volatility of prices for oil and natural gas, could adversely affect our revenue, cash flows, profitability and growth.   Our project revenue, cash flows, profitability and future rate of growth depend substantially upon prevailing prices for oil and natural gas.  Prices also affect the amount of cash flow available for capital expenditures and our ability to borrow money or raise additional capital.  Lower prices may also make it uneconomical for us to commence or continue production levels of natural gas and crude oil.  Prices for oil and natural gas are subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply and demand for oil and natural gas, market uncertainty and a variety of other factors beyond our control, including:

 
·
regional, domestic and foreign supply, and perceptions of supply, of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids;
 
·
the price of foreign imports;
 
·
U.S. and worldwide political and economic conditions;
 
·
the level of demand, and perceptions of demand, for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids;
 
·
weather conditions and seasonal trends;
 
·
anticipated future prices of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, alternative fuels and other commodities;
 
·
technological advances affecting energy consumption and energy supply;
 
·
the proximity, capacity, cost and availability of pipeline infrastructure, treating, transportation and refining capacity;
 
·
acts of force majeure;
 
·
domestic and foreign governmental regulations and taxation;
 
·
energy conservation and environmental measures; and
 
·
the price and availability of alternative fuels.

For oil, from 2007 through 2010, the highest monthly NYMEX settled price was $140.00 per Bbl and the lowest was $41.68 per Bbl. For natural gas, from 2007 through 2010, the highest monthly NYMEX settled price was $13.35 per MMBtu and the lowest was $2.98 per MMBtu.  In addition, the market price of oil and natural gas is generally higher in the winter months than during other months of the year due to increased demand for oil and natural gas for heating purposes during the winter season.

Lower oil and natural gas prices will reduce our revenues and may ultimately reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that is economic to produce from our oil and gas properties.  As a result, our operating partners could determine during periods of low oil and natural gas prices to shut in or curtail production from any operating wells.  In addition, our operating partners could determine during periods of low oil and natural gas prices to plug and abandon marginal wells that otherwise may have been allowed to continue to produce for a longer period under conditions of higher prices.  Specifically, our operating partners may abandon any well or property if it reasonably believes that the well or property can no longer produce oil or natural gas in commercially economic quantities.  This could result in termination of our portion of the royalty interest relating to the abandoned well or property.

Investigations of oil and gas properties do not eliminate the risks associated with the selection and the acquisition of such properties. Although we will perform a review of the oil and properties proposed to be acquired, such reviews are subject to uncertainties. It generally is not feasible to review in detail every individual property involved in an acquisition. Even a detailed review of all properties and records may not reveal existing or potential problems; nor will it permit us to become sufficiently familiar with the properties to assess fully their deficiencies and capabilities. Inspections are not always performed on every well, and potential problems, such as mechanical integrity of equipment and environmental conditions that may require significant remedial expenditures, are not necessarily observable even when an inspection is undertaken.
 
Our success depends upon our ability to identify and acquire oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable.  There can be no assurance that we will conduct successful exploration or development activities or acquires properties containing proved reserves.
 
We are subject to complex federal, state, local and other laws and regulations that could adversely affect the cost, manner or feasibility of conducting our operations or expose us to significant liabilities .  Our proposed oil and natural gas exploration and production operations are subject to complex and stringent laws and regulations. In order to conduct or operations in compliance with these laws and regulations, oil and gas operators must obtain and maintain numerous permits, approvals and certificates from various federal, state and local governmental authorities.  Substantial costs may be incurred by us or our operating partners in order to maintain compliance with these existing laws and regulations.  Further, in light of the explosion and fire on the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as recent incidents involving the release of oil and natural gas and fluids as a result of drilling activities in the United States, there has been a variety of regulatory initiatives at the federal and state level to restrict oil and natural gas drilling operations in certain locations.  Any increased regulation or suspension of oil and natural gas exploration and production, or revision or reinterpretation of existing laws and regulations, that arises out of these incidents or otherwise could result in delays and higher operating costs.  Such costs or significant delays could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Laws and regulations governing oil and natural gas exploration and production may also affect production levels.  Oil and gas operators are required to comply with federal and state laws and regulations governing conservation matters, including provisions related to the unitization or pooling of the oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids properties; the establishment of maximum rates of production from wells; the spacing of wells; and the plugging and abandonment of wells.  These and other laws and regulations can limit the amount of oil and natural gas operators can produce from their wells, limit the number of wells they can drill, or limit the locations at which they can conduct drilling operations, which in turn could negatively impact their business, financial condition and results of operations.

New laws or regulations, or changes to existing laws or regulations may unfavorably impact our proposed operations, could result in increased operating costs and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. For example, Congress is currently considering legislation that, if adopted in its proposed form, would subject companies involved in oil and natural exploration and production activities to, among other items, additional regulation of and restrictions on hydraulic fracturing of wells, the elimination of most U.S. federal tax incentives and deductions available to oil and natural gas exploration and production activities, and the prohibition or additional regulation of private energy commodity derivative and hedging activities.

These and other potential regulations could increase our operating costs, reduce our revenue, delay proposed  operations, increase direct and third party post production costs associated with the our oil and gas properties or otherwise alter our proposed operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and stock price.

Our proposed operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations that could adversely affect the cost, manner or feasibility of conducting operations or result in significant costs and liabilities.   Oil and natural gas exploration and production operations are subject to stringent and comprehensive federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection.  These laws and regulations may impose numerous obligations that are applicable to our proposed operations including the acquisition of a permit before conducting drilling; water withdrawal or waste disposal activities; the restriction of types, quantities and concentration of materials that can be released into the environment; the limitation or prohibition of drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas; and the imposition of substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from operations.  Numerous governmental authorities, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and analogous state agencies, have the power to enforce compliance with these laws and regulations and the permits issued under them, often requiring difficult and costly actions.  Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil or criminal penalties; the imposition of investigatory or remedial obligations; and the issuance of injunctions limiting or preventing some or all of our proposed operations.

There is inherent risk of incurring significant environmental costs and liabilities in the performance of our proposed operations due to the handling of petroleum hydrocarbons and wastes, because of air emissions and wastewater discharges related to our proposed operations, and as a result of historical industry operations and waste disposal practices.  Under certain environmental laws and regulations, we or our operating partner could be subject to joint and several strict liability for the removal or remediation of previously released materials or property contamination regardless of whether we or our operating partner was responsible for the release or contamination or if the operations were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time those actions were taken.  Private parties, including the owners of properties upon which we intend to drill wells and 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 contamination even in the absence of non-compliance, with environmental laws and regulations or for personal injury or property damage.  In addition, the risk of accidental spills or releases could expose us and our operating partners to significant liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and stock price.  Changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent or costly construction, drilling, water management, completion, waste handling, storage, transport, disposal or cleanup requirements could require us or our operating partners to make significant expenditures to attain and maintain compliance and may otherwise have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or stock price.

Climate change laws and regulations restricting emissions of "greenhouse gases" could result in increased operating costs and reduced demand for the oil and natural gas while the physical effects of climate change could disrupt our proposed production and cause us or our operating partners  to incur significant costs in preparing for or responding to those effects.   On December 15, 2009, the EPA published its findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases ("GHGs") present a danger to public health and the environment.  These findings allow the agency to adopt and implement regulations that restrict emissions of GHGs under existing provisions of the federal Clean Air Act.  Accordingly, the EPA has adopted regulations that require a reduction in emissions of GHGs from motor vehicles and also trigger permit review for GHG emissions from certain large stationary sources.  The EPA's rules relating to emissions of GHGs from large stationary sources of emissions are currently subject to a number of political and legal challenges, but the federal courts have thus far declined to issue any injunctions to prevent EPA from implementing, or requiring state environmental agencies to implement, the rules.  In addition, on October 30, 2009, the EPA published a final rule requiring the reporting of GHG emissions from specified large GHG emission sources in the United States, beginning in 2011 for emissions occurring in 2010.  On November 30, 2010, the EPA published a final rule that expands its October 2009 final rule on reporting of GHG emissions to require certain owners and operators of onshore oil and natural gas production to monitor greenhouse gas emissions beginning in 2011 and to report those emissions beginning in 2012.  Both houses of Congress have from time to time considered legislation to reduce emissions of GHGs and almost one-half of the states, either individually or through multi-state regional initiatives, already have begun implementing legal measures to reduce emissions of GHGs.  The adoption and implementation of any regulations imposing reporting obligations on, or limiting emissions of GHGs from the equipment and operations of our operating partners could require us and our operating partners to incur costs to reduce emissions of GHGs associated with our operations or could adversely affect demand for the oil and natural gas that we produce.  Finally, it should be noted that some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere may produce climate change that could have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climatic events; if any such effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our assets and operations.

Federal and state legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing could result in increased costs and additional operating restrictions or delays as well as adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or stock price.    We intend to engage in an production technique known as hydraulic fracturing, an important and common practice used to stimulate production of hydrocarbons from tight formations, such as shales.   The process involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under pressure into formations to fracture the surrounding rock and stimulate production.  The process is typically regulated by state oil and gas commissions.  However, the EPA recently asserted federal regulatory authority over certain hydraulic fracturing practices.  At the same time, the EPA has commenced a study of the potential environmental impacts of hydraulic fracturing activities, with initial results of the study anticipated to be available by late 2012 and final results by 2014.  Also, legislation has been introduced into Congress to provide for federal regulation of hydraulic fracturing and to require disclosure of the chemicals used in the fracturing process.  In addition, some states have adopted, and other states are considering adopting, regulations that could restrict hydraulic fracturing in certain circumstances.  For instance, in June 2011, Texas adopted a law that requires disclosure to the Railroad Commission of Texas of the additives and other chemicals contained in hydraulic fracturing fluids used in the state, subject to certain trade secret protections.  If new laws or regulations that significantly restrict or regulate hydraulic fracturing are adopted, such legal requirements could make it more difficult or costly for us or our operating partners to perform fracturing to stimulate production from our oil an gas interests and thereby affect the determination of whether a well is commercially viable.  Restrictions on hydraulic fracturing could also reduce the amount of oil and natural gas we are  ultimately able to produce in commercial quantities from our oil an gas interests.
 
 
No Dividends.   We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
 
There is no public trading market for our stock.   Prior to this offering, there has been no public trading market for our common stock.  While we intend to pursue the listing of our common shares for quotation on the OTCBB, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so or that a market for our shares will develop.
 
The offering of up to 762,000 shares of our common stock by selling stockholders could depress our common stock price.   Certain of our stockholders are offering pursuant to this prospectus up to 762,000 shares of our common stock in a secondary offering.  In the event we are able to list our common shares for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect our ability to develop a market for our common shares or our ability to develop a market price of our common stock and make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at times and prices that we determine to be appropriate.

Our common stock may be considered to be a “penny stock” and, as such, any the market for our common stock may be further limited by certain SEC rules applicable to penny stocks.  To the extent the price of our common stock remains below $5.00 per share or we have a net tangible assets of $2,000,000 or less, our common shares will be subject to certain “penny stock” rules promulgated by the SEC.  Those rules impose certain sales practice requirements on brokers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000).  For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, the broker must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale.  Furthermore, the penny stock rules generally require, among other things, that brokers engaged in secondary trading of penny stocks provide customers with written disclosure documents, monthly statements of the market value of penny stocks, disclosure of the bid and asked prices and disclosure of the compensation to the brokerage firm and disclosure of the sales person working for the brokerage firm. These rules and regulations adversely the affect the ability of brokers to sell our common shares and limit the liquidity of our securities.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  The selling stockholders will offer and sell the shares of our common stock at the price of $1.00 per share.  If and when our common stock becomes quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the shares owned by the selling stockholders may be sold at prices and terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price, or in negotiated transactions.  The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
 
 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 
 
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
 
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
 
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
 
·
privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
·
short sales;
 
 
·
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 
 
·
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 
 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
The selling stockholders may also engage in puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades.
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.  The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.  Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.  Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling stockholder.  The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.
 
The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
 
The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
 
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
 

 
11

 

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock.  We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder.  If we are notified by any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.  If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
 
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling stockholders .

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
General

On December 9, 2010, we were formed under the laws of Nevada as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Russian Resources Energy, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Russian Resources”), and then spun off to the stockholders of Russian Resources on the same date.  Pursuant to the spin-off, each stockholder of Russian Resource as of December 9, 2010 received one share of our common stock for each share of common stock of Russian Resources held by such stockholder.  Russian Resources no longer has any ownership of our capital stock and has no continuing obligation to provide financial, operational or organizational assistance to us.   
 
We were formed for the purpose of oil and gas exploration and development in North America.  From inception to date, our activities have focused on the raising of capital and the investigation of oil and gas properties.  As of the date of this prospectus, we have incurred no revenue.  In September 2011, we acquired our initial property consisting of a 31.25% working interest in an exploratory oil and gas drilling prospect covering 120 acres in Eastland County, Texas.  We intend to conduct investigations and other due diligence operations related to the acquisition of equity interests in oil and gas properties to be thereafter exploited by us in conjunction with other oil and gas producers.  As of the date of this prospectus, we have not completed any investigations of any other oil and gas or natural resource properties nor have we any agreements in place concerning our acquisition of an interest in any other properties.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete an acquisition on terms acceptable to us.
 
Plan of Operations

As more fully described below, our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to acquire oil and natural gas interests in North America and the additional working capital necessary to acquire and development such properties.

Over the next 12 months we intend to pursue our acquisition of and participation in oil and gas properties in North America.  We have developed an operating strategy that is based on our participation in exploration prospects as a non-operator for the foreseeable future.  Based on that strategy, our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to pursue the acquisition of oil and natural gas interests, including prospects, leases, wells, mineral rights, working interests, royalty interests, overriding royalty interests, net profits interests, production payments, farm-ins, drill to earn arrangements, partnerships, easements, rights of way, licenses and permits throughout North America.  For the foreseeable future, we intend to pursue prospects in partnership with other companies with exploration, development and production expertise.  We will also pursue alliances with partners in the areas of geological and geophysical services and prospect generation, evaluation and prospect leasing.

The business of oil and gas acquisition, drilling and development is capital intensive and the level of operations attainable by an oil and gas company is directly linked to and limited by the amount of available capital.  Therefore, a principal part of our plan of operations is to acquire the additional capital required to finance the acquisition of such properties and our share of the development costs.  As explained under “Financial Condition” below, we will seek  additional working capital through the sale of our securities and, subject to the successful deployment of our cash on hand, we will endeavor to obtain additional capital through bank lines of credit and project financing.
 
We intend to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services, including reservoir engineering, land, legal, environmental and tax services.  As a non-operator working interest owner, we intend to rely on outside operators to drill, produce and market our natural gas and oil.  We believe that by limiting our management and employee costs, we may be able to better control total costs and retain flexibility in terms of project management.

Financial Condition

As of September 30, 2011, we had total assets of $223,855 and working capital of $169,346.  Our ability to achieve commercial success is dependent on our ability to obtain additional capital either through the additional sale of our equity or debt securities, bank lines of credit, project financing or cash generated from oil and gas operations. We will seek to obtain additional working capital through the sale of our securities and, subject to the successful deployment of our cash on hand, we will endeavor to obtain additional capital through bank lines of credit and project financing.  However, we have no agreements or understandings with any third parties at this time for our receipt of additional working capital and we have no history of generating cash from oil and gas operations.   Consequently, there can be no assurance we will be able to obtain continued access to capital as and when needed or, if so, that the terms of any available financing will be subject to commercially reasonable terms.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

We were formed for the purpose of oil and gas exploration and development in North America.  We intend to pursue prospects in partnership with other companies with exploration, development and production expertise.  We intend to conduct investigations and other due diligence operations related to the acquisition of equity interests in oil and gas properties in North America to be thereafter exploited by us in conjunction with other oil and gas producers.  While we intend to focus on oil and nature gas exploration and development, we may also pursue the development of other energy related resources such as coal.  As of the date of this prospectus, we have not completed any investigations of any oil and gas properties nor have we any agreements in place concerning our acquisition of an interest in any such properties.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete an acquisition on terms acceptable to us.  As of the date of this prospectus, we have no revenues or operations and only nominal cash assets.
 
After identifying a suitable oil and gas property, we will prepare a development plan, including projection of drilling and other pre-production costs.  We will concurrently seek additional capital in order to fund the development and exploitation of the selected property.
 
We may also engage, to a limited degree, in oil field related services, such as water hauling.  Water hauling is an essential element of oil and gas exploration and production.  Certain drilling techniques, such as hydraulic fracturing, require water to be hauled to the drill site and government regulations require that water flowing from a drill site be transported to a licensed disposal site for remediation.  In August 2011, we acquired a water trailer for use in the drilling sites operated by our operating partners, however we also intend to lease the trailer out to other operators.  We may also acquire additional water hauling trailers and trucks for the provision of water hauling services to third party operators.  However, we do not expect that oil field services will be a substantial portion of our operations.
 
Our Strategy
 
Our objective is to become an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, development and exploitation of oil and gas properties in North America in partnership with oil and gas producers.  We will pursue strategic acquisitions of interests in oil and gas properties which fit our objectives of having proved reserves with development potential.  We intend to target both new and existing fields and producing wells to be revitalized.
 
In our initial phase, the following are key elements of our strategy:
 
General due diligence review and research analysis .  We will  (i) survey available properties; (ii) conduct feasibility analysis, including review of existing geologic and engineering studies on the prospective properties; (iii) analyze access to pipeline and other delivery mechanisms, assess project drilling and delivery expenses and prepare timetables; and (iv) select and rank the top prospects now in the possession of other oil and gas producers.
 
G eological, geophysical and engineering field research .  We will to utilize a recognized oil engineering firm to do the appropriate geological, geophysical and engineering analysis to provide an estimate of proven reserves on the properties as ranked, including the economics of production and field operations.
 
Plan of action for the second phase; raising additional capital .  We will prepare a development plan, including projection of drilling and other pre-production costs.  We will concurrently seek additional capital in order to fund the acquisition, development and exploitation of the selected properties.
 
Acquisition of equity interests .  Once we have completed the process described above, we will negotiate the acquisition of equity interests in the selected and reviewed oil and gas properties.  We will then commence the joint development of such properties.
 
At the present time, we have two employees, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Stephen Jones and John Kerr, respectively..  We have developed an operating strategy that is based on our participation in exploration prospects as a non-operator for the foreseeable future.  We intend to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services, including reservoir engineering, land, legal, environmental and tax services, as appropriate to carry out our  operating strategy summarized above.  We will also pursue alliances with partners in the areas of geological and geophysical services and prospect generation, evaluation and prospect leasing.  As a non-operator working interest owner, we intend to rely on outside operators to drill, produce and market our natural gas and oil.  We believe that by limiting our management and employee costs, we may be able to better control total costs and retain flexibility in terms of project management.

Oil and Gas Interests
 
In September 2011, we acquired our initial property consisting of a 31.25% working interest in an exploratory oil and gas drilling prospect covering 120 acres in Eastland County, Texas.  The prospect contains two wells that are currently operating at a minimum level required to maintain the lease rights.  The prospect will be operated by West Texas Royalties, LLC, of Plainview, Texas, an unaffiliated third-party.  The current plan is to fracture stimulate one of the two wells and, subject to the performance of that well, facture stimulate the other well and/or drill additional wells on the property.   The operator intends to commence the fracture stimulation of the first well during in December 2011.
 
We intend to pursue the acquisition of equity interests in other oil and gas properties in North America.  However, as of the date of this prospectus, we have not completed any investigations of other oil and gas properties nor do we have we any agreements in place concerning our acquisition of an interest in any such properties.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete an acquisition on terms acceptable to us.
 
Reserves and Production

There are no reserve reports with respect to our initial prospect in Eastland County, Texas nor are there any producing wells on such property.

Acreage

The following tables summarize by geographic area our developed and undeveloped acreage as of September 30, 2011. The term of the undeveloped leasehold acreage ranges from three to five years.

Marketing and Pricing

We will derive revenue principally from the sale of oil and natural gas. As a result, our revenues are determined, to a large degree, by prevailing prices for crude oil and natural gas.  We intend to sell our oil and natural gas on the open market at prevailing market prices. The market price for oil and natural gas is dictated by supply and demand, and we cannot accurately predict or control the price we may receive for our oil and natural gas.


1 Developed acreage is acreage spaced for or assignable to productive wells.
2 Undeveloped acreage is oil and gas acreage on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of economic quantities of oil or gas regardless of whether such acreage contains proved reserves.
3 A gross acre is an acre in which a working interest is owned.  The number of gross acres is the total number of acres in which a working interest is owned.
4 A net acre is deemed to exist when the sum of fractional ownership working interests in gross acres equals one.  The number of acres is the sum of the fractional working interests owned in acres expressed as whole numbers and fractions thereof.

Price decreases would adversely affect our revenues, profits and the value of our proved reserves. Historically, the prices received for oil and natural gas have fluctuated widely.  Among the factors that can cause these fluctuations are:

 
·
The domestic and foreign supply of natural gas and oil

 
·
Overall economic conditions

 
·
The level of consumer product demand

 
·
Weather conditions

 
·
The price and availability of competitive fuels such as heating oil and coal

 
·
Political conditions in the Middle East and other natural gas and oil producing regions

 
·
The level of oil and natural gas imports

 
·
Domestic and foreign governmental regulations

 
·
Potential price controls

We may enter into hedging arrangements to reduce our exposure to decreases in the prices of oil and natural gas.  Hedging arrangements may expose us to risk of significant financial loss in some circumstances including circumstances where:

 
·
There is a change in the expected differential between the underlying price in the hedging agreement and actual prices received

 
·
Our production and/or sales of natural gas are less than expected

 
·
Payments owed under derivative hedging contracts typically come due prior to receipt of the hedged month’s production revenue

 
·
The other party to the hedging contract defaults on its contract obligations

In addition, hedging arrangements limit the benefit we would receive from increases in the prices for oil and natural gas.  We cannot assure you that any hedging transactions we may enter into will adequately protect us from declines in the prices of oil and natural gas.  On the other hand, we may choose not to engage in hedging transactions in the future. As a result, we may be more adversely affected by changes in oil and natural gas prices than our competitors who engage in hedging transactions.

Competition

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive and inherent difficulties exist for any new company seeking to enter an established field. Our proposed business will encounter numerous companies more experienced, better financed, and operationally organized to conduct acquisitions, development and exploration activities in the oil and gas industry in North America.  Additionally, a small “start-up” such as the Company, with insignificant resources, is at a serious disadvantage against established competitors, including major oil companies.
 
Government Regulations

The following is a summary of the more significant existing environmental, health and safety laws and regulations applicable to the oil and natural gas industry and for which compliance may have a material adverse impact on the development or success of our proposed oil and gas operations.

Federal Income Tax .  Federal income tax laws will significantly affect our operations.  The principal provisions that will affect us are those that permit us, subject to certain limitations, to deduct as incurred, rather than to capitalize and amortize, our domestic “intangible drilling and development costs” and to claim depletion on a portion of our domestic oil and natural gas properties based on 15% of our oil and natural gas gross income from such properties (up to an aggregate of 1,000 Bbls per day of domestic crude oil and/or equivalent units of domestic natural gas).

 
17

 


Environmental Regulation.   The exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection.  These laws and regulations may, among other things, require permits to conduct drilling, water withdrawal and waste disposal operations; govern the amounts and types of substances that may be disposed or released into the environment; limit or prohibit construction or drilling activities in sensitive areas such as wetlands, wilderness areas or areas inhabited by endangered or threatened species; require investigatory and remedial actions to mitigate pollution conditions arising from oil and gas operations or attributable to former operations; and impose obligations to reclaim and abandon well sites and pits.  Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of sanctions, including monetary penalties, the imposition of remedial obligations and the issuance of orders enjoining operations in affected areas.

The clear trend in environmental regulation is to place more restrictions and limitations on activities that may affect the environment, and thus, any changes in environmental laws and regulations or re-interpretation of enforcement policies that result in more stringent and costly construction, drilling, water management, completion, waste handling, storage, transport, disposal, or remediation requirements or emission or discharge limits could have a material adverse effect on the development or success of our proposed oil and gas operations.  Moreover, accidental releases or spills may occur in the course of our proposed oil and gas operations, and there can be no assurance that we will not incur significant costs and liabilities as a result of such releases or spills, including any third party claims for damage to property and natural resources or personal injury.

Hazardous Substances and Wastes .    The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended ("CERCLA"), also known as the Superfund law and comparable state laws impose joint and several liability, without regard to fault or legality of conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a "hazardous substance" into the environment.  These persons include current and prior owners or operators of the site where the release occurred and entities that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances found at the site.  Under CERCLA, these "responsible persons" may be subject to strict joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain environmental and health studies.  In addition, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the release of hazardous substances into the environment.  CERCLA also authorizes the EPA and, in some instances, third parties to act in response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek to recover from the responsible classes of persons the costs they incur.  We may generate materials in the course of our proposed operations that may be regulated as hazardous substances.

We may also generate wastes that are subject to the requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended ("RCRA"), and comparable state statutes.  RCRA imposes strict requirements on the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, disposal and cleanup of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes.  Drilling fluids, produced waters and most of the other wastes associated with the exploration, production and development of crude oil and natural gas are currently exempt from regulation as hazardous wastes under RCRA.  However, it is possible that certain oil and natural gas exploration and production wastes now classified as non-hazardous could be classified as hazardous wastes in the future.  In September 2010, the Natural Resources Defense Council filed a petition with the EPA requesting them to reconsider the RCRA exemption for exploration, production, and development wastes.  To date, the EPA has not taken any action on the petition.  Any change in the RCRA exemption for such wastes could result in an increase in costs to manage and dispose of wastes, which could have a material adverse effect on on the development or success of our proposed oil and gas operations.

Air Emissions .    The Clean Air Act, as amended, and comparable state laws and regulations restrict the emission of air pollutants from many sources and also impose various monitoring and reporting requirements.  These laws and regulations may require us or our operating partners to obtain pre-approval for the construction or modification of certain projects or facilities expected to produce or significantly increase air emissions, obtain and strictly comply with air permit requirements or utilize specific equipment or technologies to control emissions. Obtaining permits has the potential to delay the development of oil and natural gas projects.

 
18

 


Water Discharges .    The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended ("Clean Water Act"), and analogous state laws impose restrictions and strict controls regarding the discharge of pollutants into navigable waters.  Pursuant to the Clean Water Act and analogous state laws, permits must be obtained to discharge produced waters and sand, drilling fluids, drill cuttings and other substances related to the oil and gas industry into onshore, coastal and offshore waters of the United States or state waters.  Any such discharge of pollutants into regulated waters must be performed in accordance with the terms of the permit issued by EPA or the analogous state agency.  Spill prevention, control and countermeasure requirements under federal law require appropriate containment berms and similar structures to help prevent the contamination of navigable waters in the event of a petroleum hydrocarbon tank spill, rupture or leak.  In addition, the Clean Water Act and analogous state laws require individual permits or coverage under general permits for discharges of storm water runoff from certain types of facilities.

Climate Change .    In December 2009, the EPA published its findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and certain other GHGs present an endangerment to public health and the environment because emissions of such gases are, according to the EPA, contributing to warming of the earth's atmosphere and other climatic changes.  These findings allow the EPA to adopt and implement regulations that restrict emissions of GHGs under existing provisions of the federal Clean Air Act.  Accordingly, the EPA has adopted regulations that require a reduction in emissions of GHGs from motor vehicles and also trigger permit review for GHG emissions from certain large stationary sources.  The EPA's rules relating to emissions of GHGs from large stationary sources of emissions are currently subject to a number of legal challenges, but the federal courts have thus far declined to issue any injunctions to prevent the EPA from implementing, or requiring state environmental agencies to implement, the rules.  In addition, Congress has actively considered legislation to reduce emissions of GHGs and almost one-half of the states have begun taking actions to control and/or reduce emissions of GHGs, primarily through the planned development of GHG emission inventories and/or regional GHG cap and trade programs. The adoption and implementation of any regulations imposing reporting obligations on, or limiting emissions of GHG gases from, our equipment and operations could require us to incur costs to reduce emissions of GHGs associated with our proposed operations or could adversely affect demand for the oil and natural gas we produce.

Endangered Species .   The federal Endangered Species Act ("ESA") restricts activities that may affect endangered or threatened species or their habitats.  The designation of previously unidentified species as endangered or threatened on properties where we operate could subject us to additional costs or cause our oil and gas activities to be subject to operating restrictions or bans.

Employee Health and Safety .    Our proposed operations of SandRidge are subject to a number of federal and state laws and regulations, including the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended ("OSHA"), and comparable state statutes, whose purpose is to protect the health and safety of workers.  In addition, the OSHA hazard communication standard, the EPA community right-to-know regulations under Title III of the federal Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act and comparable state statutes require that information be maintained concerning hazardous materials used or produced in oil and gas operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local government authorities and citizens.

State Regulation .  Texas regulates the drilling for, and the production and gathering of, oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, including requirements relating to drilling permits, the location, spacing and density of wells, unitization and pooling of interests, the method of drilling, casing and equipping of wells, the protection of fresh water sources, the orderly development of common sources of supply of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, the operation of wells, allowable rates of production, the use of fresh water in oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids operations, saltwater injection and disposal operations, the plugging and abandonment of wells and the restoration of surface properties, the prevention of waste of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids resources, the protection of the correlative rights of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids owners and, where necessary to avoid unfair, unjust or discriminatory service, the fees, terms and conditions for the gathering of natural gas.  The effect of these regulations may be to limit the number of wells that our operating partners may drill, impact the locations at which our operating partners may drill wells, restrict the amounts of oil and natural gas that may be produced from wells drilled by our operating partners and increase the costs of operations.

 
19

 


Hydraulic Fracturing .  We expect to participate in exploration and drilling projects that seek to recover oil and natural gas through the use of hydraulic fracturing.  Hydraulic fracturing, which involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals under pressure into formations to fracture the surrounding rock and stimulate production, is typically regulated by state oil and gas commissions.  However, the EPA recently asserted federal regulatory authority over certain hydraulic fracturing practices.  At the same time, the EPA has commenced a study of the potential environmental impacts of hydraulic fracturing activities, with initial results of the study anticipated to be available by late 2012 and final results by 2014.  Also for the second consecutive session, legislation has been introduced in Congress to provide for federal regulation of hydraulic fracturing and to require disclosure of the chemicals used in the fracturing process.  In addition, some states have adopted, and other states are considering adopting, regulations that could restrict hydraulic fracturing in certain circumstances.  For instance, in June 2011, Texas adopted a law that requires disclosure to the Railroad Commission of Texas of the additives and other chemicals contained in hydraulic fracturing fluids used in the state, subject to certain trade secret protections.  If new laws or regulations that significantly restrict hydraulic fracturing are adopted at the Texas state level, such legal requirements could make it more difficult or costly for our operating partners to perform fracturing to stimulate production in the play and thereby affect the determination of whether a well is commercially viable.  In addition, if hydraulic fracturing is regulated at the federal level, fracturing activities could become subject to additional permit requirements or operational restrictions and also to associated permitting delays and potential increases in costs. Restrictions on hydraulic fracturing could also reduce the amount of oil or natural gas and natural gas liquids that our operating partners are ultimately able to produce in commercial quantities from our oil and gas properties.

Employees

As of the date of this prospectus, we have two employees, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer.  For the foreseeable future, we intend to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services, including reservoir engineering, land, legal, environmental and tax services. We do not contemplate hiring additional staff after this private placement until a gas and oil property has been identified by us and we have commenced our due diligence review of such property.

Related Party Transactions and Director Independence

We have not entered into, nor do we currently propose to enter into, any transactions with a value of $120,000 or more with any of our directors, officers, five percent stockholders or any of their family members or affiliates, including entities of which they are also officers or directors or in which they have a financial interest.  We have, however, adopted a policy that any transactions that we might enter into with related parties will only be on terms consistent with industry standards and approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of our board.
 
We do not have directors at this time that are independent as such term is defined by the listing rules of the New York or American Stock Exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Limitation of Liability of Directors and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Nevada corporate law provides that corporations may include a provision in their certificate of formation relieving directors of monetary liability for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith and which involve a breach of the director’s duty to the corporation or intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payment of a dividend or unlawful stock purchase or redemption, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  Our articles of incorporation provides that directors are not liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. In addition to the foregoing, our bylaws provide that we may indemnify directors, officers, employees or agents to the fullest extent permitted by law and we have agreed to provide such indemnification to each of our directors.
 
The above provisions in our certificate of formation and bylaws and in the written indemnity agreements may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited us and our stockholders. However, we believe that the foregoing provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
Common Stock
 
We are authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, of which, as of the date of this prospectus,  13,106,500 shares were issued and outstanding and held by 119 record holders.  As of the date of this prospectus, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other securities which upon exercise or conversion entitle their holder to acquire shares of common stock, except as set forth below.
 
Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders generally. The approval of proposals submitted to stockholders at a meeting other than for the election of directors requires the favorable vote of a majority of the shares voting, except in the case of certain fundamental matters (such as certain amendments to the certificate of incorporation, and certain mergers and reorganizations), in which cases Nevada law and our bylaws require the favorable vote of at least a majority of all outstanding shares.  Stockholders are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, and in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities.  The holders of shares of common stock have no preemptive, conversion, subscription or cumulative voting rights.
 
Preferred Stock
 
We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  Our board of directors is authorized to issue from time to time, without shareholder authorization, in one or more designated series or classes, any or all of the authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock with such dividend, redemption, conversion and exchange provisions as may be provided in the particular series.  Any series of preferred stock may possess voting, dividend, liquidation and redemption rights superior to that of the common stock.  The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future.  Issuance of a new series of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisition and other corporate purposes, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of the outstanding voting stock of our company.
 
As of the date of this prospectus, no class or series of preferred stock has been designated and no shares of preferred stock are issued.

Stock Incentive Plan .

We have adopted the West Texas Resources, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan providing for the grant of non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options to purchase shares of our common stock and for the grant of restricted and unrestricted share grants.  We have reserved 3,000,000 shares of our common stock under the plan.  All officers, directors, employees and consultants to our company are eligible to participate under the plan.  The purpose of the plan is to provide eligible participants with an opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in our company.  As of the date of this prospectus, we have granted under the plan options to purchase 400,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.  As of the date of this prospectus, no other options or shares have been granted under the plan.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of West Texas Resources, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of West Texas Resources, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) as of September 30, 2011, and the related statement of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period beginning December 9, 2010 (date of inception) through September 30, 2011. West Texas Resources, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. 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 audit 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 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of West Texas Resources, Inc. as of September 30, 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows the period beginning December 9, 2010 (date of inception) through September 30, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and business

Texas Resources Energy, Inc. (“TREI”) was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on December 9, 2010, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Russian Resources Energy, Inc., a Texas corporation (“RREI”), and then spun off to the shareholders of RRIE on the same date. On March 31, 2011, TREI changed its name to West Texas Resources, Inc. (the “Company”). The Company intends to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties in North America. From its inception, the Company has devoted its activities to developing a business plan, raising capital and acquiring operating assets.

The Company is in the development stage, it has not generated any revenues from operations, it has no assurance of any future revenues or its ability to obtain additional capital to fund future acquisitions, or, if such funds might be available, that they will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company.

Oil and gas properties

The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells that find proved reserves, to drill and equip development wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and geophysical costs, and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are expensed.
 
Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss is recognized at the time of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Other unproved properties are amortized based on the Company's experience of successful drilling and average holding period. Capitalized costs of producing oil and gas properties, after considering estimated residual salvage values, are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production method.  
 
On the sale or retirement of a complete unit of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. On the retirement or sale of a partial unit of proved property, the cost is charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income.  On the sale of an entire interest in an unproved property for cash or cash equivalent, gain or loss on the sale is recognized, taking into consideration the amount of any recorded impairment if the property had been assessed individually. If a partial interest in an unproved property is sold, the amount received is treated as a reduction of the cost of the interest retained.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360-10-35, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets . In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, long-lived assets are reviewed for events of changes in circumstances, which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company believes there has been no impairment of the value of such assets at September 30, 2011.

Asset retirement obligations 

ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations , clarifies that a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. ASC 410-20 requires a liability to be recognized for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated.

Cash, cash equivalents, and other cash flow statement supplemental information

The Company considers all liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents.  The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions.  Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000.  At September 30, 2011, the Company did not have cash balances in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.  The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit its concentration of risk exposure.  Management believes this risk is not significant due to the financial strength of the financial institutions utilized by the Company.

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

Furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Gain or loss on retirement or sale or other disposition of these assets is included in income in the period of disposition.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income taxes

The Company reports certain expenses differently for financial and tax reporting purposes and, accordingly, provides for the related deferred taxes.  Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes .

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share

Basic net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised.  Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method.  Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.  For the year ended September 30, 2011, all common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive.

Stock –based payments

Compensation costs for all share-based awards are measured based on the grant date fair value and are recognized over the vesting period. The Company has no awards with market or performance conditions. Excess tax benefits will be recognized as an addition to additional paid-in-capital.

Fair value of financial instruments

The accounting standards regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash and other current assets and liabilities to approximate their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.

The Company has also adopted ASC 820-10 (formerly SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

 
·
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 
·
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

·
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The new guidance results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. While many of the amendments to U.S. GAAP are not expected to have a significant effect on practice, the new guidance changes some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard update to have a significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which amends current comprehensive income guidance. This accounting update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income (loss) as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, the Company must report comprehensive income (loss) in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income (loss) which contains two sections, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standard update to impact its financial position or results of operations.

2. 
Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is a start up company subject to the substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent to such an entity, including the potential risk of business failure.

3.
Equipment

In August 2011, the Company purchased a water truck for $35,759 cash. The Company intends to lease out the truck, which has a useful life of five years. For the period ended September 30, 2011, the Company did not record any depreciation expense because the truck had not been placed in service.

Shareholders’ Equity

The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.001.

Commencing on January 24, 2011, the Company began the sale of up to 2,000,000 shares of its common stock at $.25 per share in a private placement.  During fiscal 2011, the Company sold 962,000 shares for gross proceeds of $240,500.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had 13,106,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and had not issued any of its preferred stock.

On September 15, 2011, the Company adopted the West Texas Resources, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) providing for the grant of non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options to purchase its common stock and for grant of restricted and unrestricted grants. The Company has reserved 3,000,000 shares of its common stock under the Plan. All officers, directors, employees and consultants to the Company are eligible to participate under the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to provide eligible participants with an opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Company.

The Company issued options to certain consultants to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The options vest immediately and expire on September 15, 2016. The fair value of each share-based award was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or a lattice model. The fair value of these options, determined to be $65,402, was included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.

The following assumptions were used in the fair value method calculation:

 
·
Volatility: 83%
 
·
Risk free rate of return: 1%
 
·
Expected term: 5 years

The following information applies to all options outstanding at September 30, 2011:

Subsequent Events
 
Events subsequent to September 30, 2011 have been evaluated through the date these financial statements were issued to determine whether they should be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading.   Management found no other subsequent events that should be disclosed.

In October 2011, the operator of the Company's Eastland County prospect began drilling and fracturing operations at the initial well.  As of November 9, 2011, the drilling and casing is substantially complete and fracturing is expected to begin during the week of November 14, 2011. No revenue has yet to be derived from the wells the Company has an interest in.
 
In October 2011, the Company's water truck was placed in service pursuant to a lease arrangement with an unaffiliated third party.  The lease requires the lessee to pay the Company $2,500 per month plus 10% of the revenue collected by the lessee from its use or sublease of the truck. The lease is for a term of two years and the lessee has the option to purchase the truck at the end of the lease term for 75% of the Company's purchase price.

Item 15.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
 
West Texas Resources, Inc. (“West Texas”, “us” or “we”) was formed on December 9, 2010 as the wholly-owned subsidiary of Russian Resources, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Russian Resources”).  Immediately upon the formation of West Texas, Russian Resources conducted a spin-off of West Texas to the stockholders of Russian Resources by way of stock dividend.  Pursuant to that stock dividend, West Texas issued a total of 14,839,500 shares (“Parent Shares”) of its common stock to Russian Resources (of which 2,695,000 shares were subsequently cancelled), and then the board of directors of Russian Resources approved the distribution of the Parent Shares to the Russian Resources stockholders of record as of December 9, 2010.
 
The Parent Shares were issued by West Texas to Russian Resources pursuant to the exemption from registration set forth at Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”).  The distribution of the Parent Shares by Russian Resources to the stockholders of Russian Resources was conducted as a stock dividend without consideration and, therefore, outside of the registration requirements of the Securities Act, however, if the distribution were subject to Section 5 of the Securities Act, the distribution would have been exempt from those registration provisions by way of the exemption offered by Section 4(1) of the Securities Act.  The Parent Shares distributed by Russian Resources to its stockholders have the status of “restricted securities” as such terms is defined by Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

From December 2010 to September 10, 2011, we conducted the private placement sale of 962,000 shares of our common stock to 57 investors at the offering price of $0.25 per share.  The issuances were exempt under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 there under.  All of the investors were accredited investors, as such term is defined in Rule 510 under the Securities Act.   The offering was conducted by management of the Company.  No sales commissions or finders fees were paid by us or anyone else.

(b)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described herein, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
(c)           That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

Section 4.06.   STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT.
 
Unless otherwise provided for under applicable law or the Articles of Incorporation, any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize to take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.  Any stockholder giving a written consent, or the stockholder's proxyholders, or a transferee of the shares of a personal representative of the stockholder or their respective proxyholders, may revoke the consent by a writing received by the corporation prior to the time that written consents of the number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the secretary of the corporation, but may not do so thereafter.  Such revocation is effective upon its receipt by the secretary of the corporation.

The holders of a majority of the voting power, which includes the voting power that is present in person or by proxy, regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by law, by the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws.  If, however, such majority shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person, or by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, until the requisite amount of voting shares shall be present.  At such adjourned meeting at which the requisite amount of voting shares shall be represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at a meeting as originally notified.  If a quorum be initially present, the stockholders may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken is approved by a majority of the stockholders required to initially constitute a quorum.
 
Section 4.08.   VOTING.
 
When a quorum is present or represented at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall be sufficient to elect directors or to decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the Articles of Incorporation, a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.  Each stockholder of record of the corporation shall be entitled at each meeting of stockholders to one vote for each share of stock standing in his name on the books of the corporation.  Upon the demand of any stockholder, the vote for directors and the vote upon any question before the meeting shall be by ballot.
 
Section 4.09.   PROXIES.
 
At any meeting of the stockholders any stockholder may be represented and vote by a proxy or proxies appointed by an instrument in writing.  No proxy or power of attorney to vote shall be used to vote at a meeting of the stockholders unless it shall have been filed with the secretary of the meeting when required by the inspectors of election.

3.2.   Authority of the Committee .
 
(a)   In accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have the authority to determine all provisions of Incentive Awards as the Committee may deem necessary or desirable and as consistent with the terms of the Plan, including, without limitation, the following:  (i) the Eligible Recipients to be selected as Participants; (ii) the nature and extent of the Incentive Awards to be made to each Participant (including the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to each Incentive Award, any exercise price, the manner in which Incentive Awards will vest or become exercisable and whether Incentive Awards will be granted in tandem with other Incentive Awards) and the form of written agreement, if any, evidencing such Incentive Award; (iii) the time or times when Incentive Awards will be granted; (iv) the duration of each Incentive Award; and (v) the restrictions and other conditions to which the payment or vesting of Incentive Awards may be subject.  In addition, the Committee will have the authority under the Plan in its sole discretion to pay the economic value of any Incentive Award in the form of cash, Common Stock or any combination of both.
 
(b)   Subject to Section 3.2(d), below, the Committee will have the authority under the Plan to amend or modify the terms of any outstanding Incentive Award in any manner, including, without limitation, the authority to modify the number of shares or other terms and conditions of an Incentive Award, extend the term of an Incentive Award, accelerate the exercisability or vesting or otherwise terminate any restrictions relating to an Incentive Award, accept the surrender of any outstanding Incentive Award or, to the extent not previously exercised or vested, authorize the grant of new Incentive Awards in substitution for surrendered Incentive Awards; provided, however that the amended or modified terms are permitted by the Plan as then in effect and that any Participant adversely affected by such amended or modified terms has consented to such amendment or modification.

(d)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan other than Section 4.3, the Committee may not, without prior approval of the Company’s stockholders, seek to effect any re-pricing of any previously granted, "underwater" Option by: (i) amending or modifying the terms of the Option to lower the exercise price; (ii) canceling the underwater Option and granting either (A) replacement Options having a lower exercise price; (B) Restricted Stock Awards; or (C) Performance Stock Awards in exchange; or (iii) repurchasing the underwater Options and granting new Incentive Awards under this Plan. For purposes of this Section 3.2(d) and Section 11.3, an Option will be deemed to be "underwater" at any time when the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock is less than the exercise price of the Option.

4.   Shares Available for Issuance .

4.2.   Accounting for Incentive Awards .  Shares of Common Stock that are issued under the Plan or that are subject to outstanding Incentive Awards will be applied to reduce the maximum number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance under the Plan; provided, however, that shares subject to an Incentive Award that lapses, expires, is forfeited (including issued shares forfeited under a Restricted Stock Award) or for any reason is terminated unexercised or unvested or is settled or paid in cash or any form other than shares of Common Stock will automatically again become available for issuance under the Plan.  To the extent that the exercise price of any Option or associated tax withholding obligations are paid by tender or attestation as to ownership of Previously Acquired Shares, or to the extent that such tax withholding obligations are satisfied by withholding of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, only the number of shares of Common Stock issued net of the number of shares tendered, attested to or withheld will be applied to reduce the maximum number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance under the Plan.

6.2.   Exercise Price .  The per share price to be paid by a Participant upon exercise of an Option will be determined by the Committee in its discretion at the time of the Option grant; provided, however, that such price will not be less than (i) 100% of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of grant with respect to any Option, and (ii) 110% of the Fair Market Value with respect to an Incentive Stock Option if, at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted, the Participant owns, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company.
 
6.3.   Exercisability and Duration .  An Option will become exercisable at such times and in such installments and upon such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time of grant (including without limitation (i) the achievement of one or more of the Performance Criteria and/or (ii) that the Participant remain in the continuous employ or service of the Company or a Subsidiary for a certain period); provided, however, that if the Committee does not specify the expiration date of the Option, the expiration date shall be 10 years from the date on which the Option was granted.  In no case may an Option be exercisable after 10 years from its date of grant (five years from its date of grant in the case of an Incentive Stock Option if, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, the Participant owns, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company).

For purposes of such payment, Previously Acquired Shares tendered or covered by an attestation and shares of Common Stock underlying net issuance Options will be valued at their Fair Market Value on the exercise date.

7.1.   Grant .  An Eligible Recipient may be granted one or more Restricted Stock Awards under the Plan, and such Restricted Stock Awards will be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  The Committee may impose such restrictions or conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, to the vesting of such Restricted Stock Awards as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, (i) the achievement of one or more of the Performance Criteria and/or (ii) that the Participant remains in the continuous employ or service of the Company or a Subsidiary for a certain period.
 
7.2.   Rights as a Stockholder; Transferability .  Except as provided in Sections 7.1, 7.3, 7.4 and 12.3 of the Plan, a Participant will have all voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights with respect to shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant as a Restricted Stock Award under this Section 7 upon the Participant becoming the holder of record of such shares as if such Participant were a holder of record of shares of unrestricted Common Stock.
 
7.3.   Dividends and Distributions .  Unless the Committee determines otherwise in its sole discretion (either in the agreement evidencing the Restricted Stock Award at the time of grant or at any time after the grant of the Restricted Stock Award), any dividends or distributions (other than regular quarterly cash dividends) paid with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to the unvested portion of a Restricted Stock Award will be subject to the same restrictions as the shares to which such dividends or distributions relate.  The Committee will determine in its sole discretion whether any interest will be paid on such dividends or distributions.
 
 
 
6

 
 
7.4.   Enforcement of Restrictions .  To enforce the restrictions referred to in this Section 7, the Committee may place a legend on the stock certificates referring to such restrictions and may require the Participant, until the restrictions have lapsed, to keep the stock certificates, together with duly endorsed stock powers, in the custody of the Company or its transfer agent, or to maintain evidence of stock ownership, together with duly endorsed stock powers, in a certificateless book-entry stock account with the Company’s transfer agent.

11.3.   Events Upon a Change in Control .  If a Change in Control of the Company occurs, then the Committee, if approved by the Committee in its sole discretion either in an agreement evidencing an Incentive Award at the time of grant or at any time after the grant of an Incentive Award, and without the consent of any Participant affected thereby, may determine that:
 
(a)   some or all Participants holding outstanding Options will receive, with respect to some or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Options (“Option Shares”), either (i) as of the effective date of any such Change in Control, cash in an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such Option Shares on the last business day prior to the effective date of such Change in Control over the exercise price per share of such Option Shares, (ii) immediately prior to such Change of Control, a number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Option Shares as of the last business day prior to the effective date of such Change in Control over the exercise price per share of such Option Shares; or (iii) any combination of cash or shares of Common Stock with the amount of each component to be determined by the Committee not inconsistent with the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), as proportionally adjusted;
 
 
10

 
 
(b)   (i) all Options that have been granted will become immediately exercisable in full and will remain exercisable in accordance with their terms; (ii) all Restricted Stock Awards that have been granted will become immediately fully vested and non-forfeitable; and (iii) any conditions to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Performance Stock Awards will lapse; and

11.4.   Limitation on Change in Control Payments (U.S. Taxpayers Only) .  Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.3 of the Plan to the contrary, if, with respect to a Participant, the acceleration of the exercisability of an Option as provided in Section 11.3 or the payment of cash or shares of Common Stock in exchange for all or part of an Option as provided in Section 11.3 (which acceleration or payment could be deemed a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), together with any other “payments” that such Participant has the right to receive from the Company or any corporation that is a member of an “affiliated group” (as defined in Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to Section 1504(b) of the Code) of which the Company is a member, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the “payments” to such Participant pursuant to Section 11.3 of the Plan will be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such “payments” being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code; provided, however, that if a Participant is subject to a separate agreement with the Company or a Subsidiary which specifically provides that payments attributable to one or more forms of employee stock incentives or to payments made in lieu of employee stock incentives will not reduce any other payments under such agreement, even if it would constitute an excess parachute payment, or provides that the Participant will have the discretion to determine which payments will be reduced in order to avoid an excess parachute payment, then the limitations of this Section 11.4 will, to that extent, not apply.
 
12.   Rights of Eligible Recipients and Participants; Transferability.
 
12.1.   Employment or Service .  Nothing in the Plan will interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of any Eligible Recipient or Participant at any time, nor confer upon any Eligible Recipient or Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary.
 
12.2.   Rights as a Stockholder .  As a holder of Incentive Awards (other than Restricted Stock Awards), a Participant will have no rights as a stockholder unless and until such Incentive Awards are exercised for, or paid in the form of, shares of Common Stock and the Participant becomes the holder of record of such shares.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no adjustment will be made for dividends or distributions with respect to such Incentive Awards as to which there is a record date preceding the date the Participant becomes the holder of record of such shares, except as the Committee may determine in its discretion.
 
 
11

 
 
12.3.   Restrictions on Transfer .
 
(a)   Except pursuant to testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise expressly permitted by subsections (b) and (c) below, no right or interest of any Participant, who is a natural person, in an Incentive Award prior to the exercise (in the case of Options) or vesting (in the case of Restricted Stock Awards) of such Incentive Award will be assignable or transferable, or subjected to any lien, during the lifetime of the Participant, either voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise.
 
(b)   A Participant who is a natural person will be entitled to designate a beneficiary to receive an Incentive Award upon such Participant’s death, and in the event of such Participant’s death, payment of any amounts due under the Plan will be made to, and exercise of any Options (to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan) may be made by, such beneficiary.  If a deceased Participant has failed to designate a beneficiary, or if a beneficiary designated by the Participant fails to survive the Participant, payment of any amounts due under the Plan will be made to, and exercise of any Options (to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan) may be made by, the Participant's legal representatives, heirs and legatees.  If a deceased Participant has designated a beneficiary and such beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before complete payment of all amounts due under the Plan or exercise of all exercisable Options, then such payments will be made to, and the exercise of such Options may be made by, the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the beneficiary.
 
(c)   Upon request by a Participant who is a natural person, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit a transfer of all or a portion of a Non-Statutory Stock Option, other than for value, to such Participant’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, any person sharing such Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which any of the foregoing have more than fifty percent of the beneficial interests, a foundation in which any of the foregoing (or the Participant) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Participant) own more than fifty percent of the voting interests.  Any permitted transferee will remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the Participant prior to the transfer.  A permitted transfer may be conditioned upon such requirements as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine, including, but not limited to execution and/or delivery of appropriate acknowledgements, opinion of counsel, or other documents by the transferee.
 
(d)   The restrictions upon transfer of any Incentive Award granted to an Eligible Recipient  that is not a natural person shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and set forth in the written agreement evidencing the Incentive Award or any amendment thereto.  The Committee shall be entitled to modify such transfer restrictions from time to time as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion.
 
12.4.   Non-Exclusivity of the Plan .  Nothing contained in the Plan is intended to modify or rescind any previously approved compensation plans or programs of the Company or create any limitations on the power or authority of the Board to adopt such additional or other compensation arrangements as the Board may deem necessary or desirable.
 
 
12

 
 
13.   Securities Law and Other Restrictions .
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any agreements entered into pursuant to the Plan, the Company will not be required to issue any shares of Common Stock under this Plan, and a Participant may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Incentive Awards granted under the Plan, unless (a) there is in effect with respect to such shares a registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable securities laws of a state or foreign jurisdiction or an exemption from such registration under the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws, and (b) there has been obtained any other consent, approval or permit from any other U.S. or foreign regulatory body which the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable.  The Company may condition such issuance, sale or transfer upon the receipt of any representations or agreements from the parties involved, and the placement of any legends on certificates representing shares of Common Stock, as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the Company in order to comply with such securities law or other restrictions.
 
14.   Plan Amendment, Modification and Termination .
 
The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time, and may amend the Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable in order that Incentive Awards under the Plan will conform to any change in applicable laws or regulations or in any other respect the Board may deem to be in the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that no such amendments to the Plan will be effective without approval of the Company’s stockholders if stockholder approval of the amendment is then required pursuant to Section 422 of the Code or the rules of any stock exchange or the NASDAQ Global Select, Global or Capital Market or similar regulatory body.  No termination, suspension or amendment of the Plan may adversely affect any outstanding Incentive Award without the consent of the affected Participant; provided, however, that this sentence will not impair the right of the Committee to take whatever action it deems appropriate under Sections 3.2(c), 4.3 and 11 of the Plan.
 
15.   Effective Date and Duration of the Plan .
 
The Plan is effective as of the Effective Date.  The Plan will terminate at midnight on September 15, 2021 and may be terminated prior to such time by Board action.  No Incentive Award will be granted after termination of the Plan.  Incentive Awards outstanding upon termination of the Plan may continue to be exercised, or become free of restrictions, according to their terms.
 
16.   Miscellaneous .
 
16.1.   Governing Law .  Except to the extent expressly provided herein or in connection with other matters of corporate governance and authority (all of which shall be governed by the laws of the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation), the validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the Plan and any rules, regulations and actions relating to the Plan will be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada notwithstanding the conflicts of laws principles of any jurisdictions.

5.2.            Indemnification by Holder .  Each Holder which has Registrable Common included in a registration statement pursuant to the provisions hereof will severally, but not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any other Holder selling securities pursuant to such registration statement, any controlling Person of any such selling Holder, any underwriter and any controlling Person of any such underwriter (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against, and will reimburse any Indemnitee with respect to, any and all Losses to which such Indemnitee may become subject under the Securities Act, state securities laws or otherwise, and such Holder will pay to each Indemnitee, any legal or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, insofar as such Losses are caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration statement, any prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was so made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity obligation with respect to any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus (if such final prospectus has been amended or supplemented and such amendments or supplements have been furnished to such Indemnitee prior to the written confirmation of the sale involved) will not inure to the benefit of any Indemnitee on account of any Loss whatsoever arising from the sale of any Registrable Common by the Holder to any person if (A) a copy of the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if such amendments or supplements have been furnished to such Indemnitee prior to the written confirmation of the sale involved) has not been sent or given by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to such person, if required by law, with or prior to the written confirmation of the sale involved, and (B) the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of a material fact contained in such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus from which such Loss arose was corrected in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if such amendments or supplements thereto have been furnished as aforesaid); provided further, however, that the obligations of each Holder under this Section 5.2 will be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder from the sale of Registrable Common as contemplated herein, unless such claim, loss, damage, liability or action resulted from such Holder’s fraudulent misconduct.

5.3.            Indemnification Procedures .  Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section (each, an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action involving the subject matter of the foregoing indemnity provisions such Indemnified Party will, if a claim is to be made against the party obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this section (each, an “Indemnifying Party”), promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to provide such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability hereunder, except to the extent that the delay in giving, or failing to give, such notice has a material adverse effect upon the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend against the claim.  In case such action is brought against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to participate in and, at the Indemnifying Party’s option, to assume the defense thereof, singly or jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, with counsel or reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses available to any Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or if there is a conflict of interest which would prevent counsel for the Indemnifying Party from also representing the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party will have the right to select counsel to participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided further, however, that the Indemnifying Party will be responsible for the expenses of only one such special counsel (and one local counsel if necessary for jurisdictional purposes) selected jointly by the Indemnified Parties if there is more than one Indemnified Party.  After notice from an Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party of such Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense or the action, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 5 for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the Indemnified Party has employed counsel in accordance with the proviso of the preceding sentence, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party has not employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after the notice of the commencement of the action, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party has authorized the employment of counsel for the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.

6.            Cooperation .  Any Holder whose Registrable Common are to be included in a Registration Statement either filed pursuant to a demand or as part of a Company registration agrees to cooperate with all reasonable requests by the Company necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement, including by timely providing the Company with all information necessary to prepare and file a registration statement.
