PETROLIA ENERGY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2017
 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

Petrolia Energy Corporation (“we”, “us”, “Rockdale” and the “Company”) an oil and gas exploration, development, and production company.  The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, 2016, as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Askarii Resources. Our subsidiary operates in the oil field services industry, providing equipment and services to various oil field related Companies. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process. Since the single subsidiary is wholly-owned, all non intercompany balances are included in the consolidated financial statement balances.

The severance tax balances for all years presented was reclassified and included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations’ lease operating expense line item. 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements follows.
 
Management Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Intangible Assets - Our intangible assets are subject to amortization and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit.  Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are capitalized at their acquisition-date fair value.  

Equipment sales - Revenues from the sale of oil and gas related equipment are recognized at the time of sale, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and the recovery of the consideration is probable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements through the filing date and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company.


NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
 
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company plans to generate profits by reworking its existing oil or gas wells and drilling additional wells, as needed.  The Company will need to raise funds through either the sale of its securities, issuance of corporate bonds, joint venture agreements and/or bank financing to accomplish its goals.   The Company does not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide the Company with any additional capital, at this time.  If additional financing is not available when needed, the Company may need to cease operations.   The Company may not be successful in raising the capital needed to drill and/or rework existing oil wells.  Any additional wells that the Company may drill may be non-productive.  Management believes that actions presently being taken to secure additional funding for the reworking of its existing infrastructure will provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.  Since the Company has an oil producing asset, its goal is to increase the production rate by optimizing its current infrastructure.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern; no adjustments to the financial statements have been made to account for this uncertainty.
 
NOTE 4. NOTE PAYABLE

On January 6, 2017, the Company purchased a truck and entered into an installment note with Don Ringer Toyota in the amount of $35,677 for a term of five years at 5.49% APR.

NOTE 5. EQUITY

Preferred Stock – 1,000,000 shares authorized, none issued or outstanding.
 
Common Stock –
Effective February 12, 2017, the Company acquired an additional 60% net working interest in the “Twin Lakes San Andres Unit” or “TLSAU” field located in Chaves County, New Mexico (the “Net Working Interest”) resulting from the execution of a Settlement Agreement on February 12, 2016.  The agreement assigned Dead Aim Investments’ (“Dead Aim”) 60% ownership interests to the Company.  Dead Aim assumed liability for the OPBE note that Petrolia purchased.  As a result of this transaction, Petrolia now owns 100% working interest in TLSAU.  Consideration of $465,788 was given in exchange for Dead Aim’s working interest.  The consideration includes the forgiveness of the Orbit Petroleum Inc Bankruptcy Estate (“OPBE”) note of $316,800 (with a $1.3 M face value) and the write off of $148,988 of outstanding accounts receivable to Petrolia.

Effective March 31, 2017, the seven (7) Advisory Board members were compensated for their service from January 1, 2017 through March 31, 2017 by the granting of 12,500 warrants each (87,500 total warrants per quarter), per quarter per Board member, to purchase 12,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average exercise price of $0.14 per share, which vested immediately, and are exercisable for 36 months thereafter. The warrants were issued with a fair value of $12,127 based on an average $0.14 valuation, volatility of 296%, a discount rate of 1.09% and a 3 year term.  The warrants were valued using the Black Sholes valuation model.  These warrants are subject to a clawback provision which would be ratably invoked if an advisory board member did not complete his 2017 service term.
Effective February 1, 2017, the Company entered into a consulting agreement in exchange for geology related services.  Specifically these services include providing reports detailing analysis of present and potential oil and gas assets.  The term of the agreement is one (1) year, subject to a one (1) year extension.  The consultant is granted 25,000 warrants for services provided each quarter.  The exercise price of the warrants will be the market price of the Company’s stock at quarter end, the warrant term expires 3 years from the date of issuance.  At March 31, 2017, 25,000 warrants were issued with a fair value of $3,466 based on an average $0.14 valuation, volatility of 296%, a discount rate of 1.09% and a 3 year term.  The warrants vested immediately.

On December 13, 2016 the Company entered into a consulting agreement in exchange for assistance with evaluating financial offers, raising capital and other strategic operational decisions.  The consultant is granted 40,000 warrants for each month of service.  The exercise price of the shares is $0.14 per share and the term is 3 years.  During the first quarter of 2017, warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of common stock were issued with a fair value of $15,836, based on a $0.14 valuation, volatility of 296%, a discount rate of 1.09% and a 3 year return.  The warrants vested in 3 years.

On December 31, 2016 the Company signed an amendment with Rick Wilber concerning his outstanding convertible debt.  A clause in the amendment stated that if Mr. Wilber’s outstanding principal balance was not paid back by January 1, 2017 then he was due to receive warrants to purchase 80,000 shares of Company common stock for each month the balance remained outstanding.  The balance was not repaid during the first quarter of 2017.  Consequently, Mr. Wilber received warrants to purchase a total of 240,000 shares of common stock which were valued at $31,660, with an exercise price of $0.15 per share that expire five (5) years from their grant dates

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company, as a lessee of oil and gas properties, is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment. These laws and regulations may, among other things, impose liability on the Company for the cost of pollution clean-up resulting from operations and subject the Company to liability for pollution damages. In some instances, the Company may be directed to suspend or cease operations in the affected area.  The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of March 31, 2017, which have not been provided for, or covered by insurance or which may have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. There can be no assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change, or past noncompliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on the Company’s properties.

Office Lease – As of May 15, 2017, the Company has one annually renewable office lease in Houston at a cost of $1,650 per month.

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY

Transactions with related parties and affiliates
 
In association with Mr. Deputy’s employment agreement dated July 1, 2016, the Company issued one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s restricted stock at the exercise price at quarter end for each dollar of Mr. Deputy’s deferred gross salary for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Mr. Deputy’s total accrued salary from first deferral to March 31, 2017 was $87,520.  The Company granted warrants to purchase 35,000 shares of common shares for quarter ended March 31, 2017. The warrants have a term of 36 months from their issuance date. The fair value of the quarter’s warrants was $4,851, based on a $0.14 price per share valuation, volatility of 296%, a discount rate of 1.09% and a 3 year term.  The warrants were valued using the Black Sholes valuation model.  The warrants were recognized as stock compensation expense.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, shareholders advanced an additional $126,500. This increased the shareholder advance liability from $192,000 at December 31, 2016 to $318,500 at March 31, 2017.
 
On September 23, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors agreed to issue Mr. Zel C. Khan, the CEO and President of the Company, 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock in consideration for entering into an employment agreement with the Company. The value of the award on the issuance date was $68,000 and the award vests over a twenty four (24) month term. Consequently, $8,500 of the award is being expensed each quarter.  During the first quarter of 2017, $8,500 of the award was expensed.  The remaining award amount is $17,000.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Background

We were incorporated in Colorado on January 16, 2002.

In February 2012 we decided it would be in the best interests of our shareholders to no longer pursue our original business plan and, in April 2012 we became active in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties.

Effective September 2, 2016, we formally changed our name to Petrolia Energy Corporation, pursuant to the filing of a Statement of Conversion with the Secretary of State of Colorado and a Certificate of Conversion with the Secretary of State of Texas, authorized by the Plan of Conversion which was approved by our stockholders at our April 14, 2016, annual meeting of stockholders, each of which are described in greater detail in the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2016. In addition to the Certificate of Conversion filing, we filed a Certificate of Correction filing with the Secretary of State of Texas (correcting certain errors in our originally filed Certificate of Formation) on August 24, 2016.

As previously reported, although the stockholders approved the Plan of Conversion at the annual meeting, pursuant to which our corporate jurisdiction was to be changed from the State of Colorado to the State of Texas by means of a process called a “Conversion” and our name was to be changed to “Petrolia Energy Corporation”, those filings were not immediately made and the Conversion did not become legally effective until September 2, 2016. Specifically, on June 15, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Conversion with the Texas Secretary of State, affecting the Conversion and the name change, and including a Certificate of Formation as a converted Texas corporation; however, the Statement of Conversion was not filed with the State of Colorado until a later date. As a result, and because FINRA and the Depository Trust Company (DTC) had advised us that they would not recognize the Conversion or name change, or update such related information in the marketplace, until we became current in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and they had a chance to review and approve such transactions, we took the position that the Conversion and name change were not legally effective until September 2, 2016.

As a result of the filings described above, and FINRA and the Depository Trust Company (DTC) formally recognizing and reflecting the events described above in the marketplace, the Company has formally converted from a Colorado corporation to a Texas corporation, and has formally changed its name to “Petrolia Energy Corporation”.

Two significant acquisitions were made in 2015 and additional working interests in the same properties were acquired in 2016, as described in greater detail in the “Plan of Operation” section below
 
Plan of Operation

Since 2015, we have established a clearly defined strategy to acquire, enhance and redevelop high-quality, resource in place assets.  Focused on acquisitions in the southwest United States while actively pursuing our strategy to offer low-cost operational solutions in established Oil and Gas regions.  We believe our mix of assets-oil-in-place conventional plays, low-risk resource plays and the redevelopment of our late-stage plays is a solid foundation for continued growth and future revenue growth.

Our strategy is to acquire low risk, conventionally producing oil fields.  This strategy allows us to incorporate new technology to minimize risk and maximize the recoverability of existing reservoirs.  This approach allows us to minimize the environmental impact caused by exploratory development.
 
Our activities will primarily be dependent upon available financing.

Oil and gas leases are considered real property.  Title to properties which we may acquire will be subject to landowner’s royalties, overriding royalties, carried working and other similar interests and contractual arrangements customary in the oil and gas industry, to liens for current taxes not yet due, liens for amounts owing to persons operating wells, and other encumbrances.  As is customary in the industry, in the case of undeveloped properties little investigation of record title will be made at the time of acquisition (other than a preliminary review of local records).  However, drilling title opinions may be obtained before commencement of drilling operations.


Minerva-Rockdale Field

The Minerva-Rockdale Field, which is located approximately 30 miles Northeast of Austin, Texas, was first discovered in 1921 and is approximately 50 square miles in size. The main producing formation for this field is the Upper Cretaceous Navarro Group of sands and shale’s. The Navarro is typically subdivided into several producing zones from the uppermost “A” and “B” sands to the lower “C” and “D” sands. The “B” sand is the primary producing zone. These sands are commonly fine grained and poorly sorted and were deposited close to a shoreline during a cycle of marine regression.
 
In April 2013, the Company entered into a lease pertaining to a 423 acre tract in Milam County, Texas, which is adjacent to the Company’s original 200 acre lease.  The Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock as consideration for a 100% working interest (75% net revenue interest) in such lease.

In August 2013, we became an oil and gas operator and took over the operation of 100% of our wells.  As such, we terminated our relationship with RTO Operating, LLC for the day-to-day operations and monitoring of our wells. During 2014, the Company continued to operate its own lease. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company hired Jovian Petroleum Corporation (Jovian) to survey the operations and well performance at the Noack field. Their report identified paraffin buildup problems in the well bores and gathering lines as the main production issue for the Company to overcome. In December 2014, the Company signed an operating agreement with Jovian to assume full operational responsibility for the Noack field under a fixed fee agreement of $10,000 per month for full operating field services.  On March 1, 2015, the Company hired Zel C. Khan, our current CEO and director, who is the largest stockholder of Jovian, as well as several former employees of Jovian Petroleum.  This allowed for the fixed fee agreement with Jovian to end.

During the period from our inception to December 31, 2011, we did not drill any oil or gas wells. During the year-ended December 31, 2012 we drilled and completed six (6) oil wells and during 2013 the Company drilled and completed three (3) wells of which one (1) was converted to an injection well. During 2014 the Company drilled seven (7) new wells. In 2015, six (6) of the wells were completed, five (5) wells produced, one (1) did not produce and one (1) well was not completed. During 2016 and through first quarter end, the Company had thirteen (13) wells producing with one (1) injection well and one (1) did not produce/one (1) well not completed.

Slick Unit Dutcher Sands (“SUDS”) Field

The SUDS oilfield consists of 2,600 acres located in Creek County, Oklahoma and carries a 7.8% net revenue interest (NRI). The first oil producer was completed in 1918 by Standard Oil of Ohio (“Sohio”), which at that time was owned by John D. Rockefeller. By 1959, approximately 14,000,000 barrels of oil had been recovered at an average well depth of 3,100 feet and over 100 wells in production. Through a series of events, the infrastructure had deteriorated and the field suffered a lot of neglect.  Since 2011, Jovian has invested an estimated $1.6 million into the restoration of the field; rebuilding the infrastructure and putting wells back in production.  To date, 18 wells have been worked over and 9 are fully operational with considerable reserves remaining.
 
The Company has approved SUDS well#1, a new infill drill well, to be drilled during the second quarter of 2017, funding permitting.

SUDS 10% Acquisition
The Company acquired a 10% working interest in the SUDS field located in Creek County Oklahoma on September 23, 2015, in exchange for 10,586,805 shares of restricted common stock. Based on the then current market value of our common stock, $0.068 per share, the price paid was $719,903 or $4.77 dollars per barrel of oil (Bbl). Through this transaction, the Company increased its reserve base by approximately 151,000 Bbls of (1P) proven reserves. Concurrently with the purchase, Jovian agreed to assign to the Company the right to be the operator of record of the SUDS field, governed by an American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL) standard Joint Operating Agreement (JOA).

SUDS 90% Acquisition
On the effective date of September 28 2016, the Company acquired a 90% net working interest in the SUDS field as a result of two separate agreements, Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Share Exchange Agreement, both between the Company and Jovian.

The Company issued two notes for a combined value of $4,000,000 in exchange for a cumulative 50% working interest in SUDS. A Promissory Note to Jovian for $1,000,000 was executed bearing interest at 5% and due on December 31, 2016 related to the acquisition of a 50% working interest in the SUDS field.  The Promissory Note is secured by a 12.5% undivided working interest in the SUDS field.  In addition, a Production Payment Note was executed for the same 50% working interest in the SUDS field.  This note was for $3,000,000, paid out of twenty percent (20%) of the 50% undivided interest of net revenues received by the Purchaser that is attributable to the SUDS field assets.  The Production Payment Note is secured by a 12.5% undivided working interest in the SUDS field.

The Company issued 24,308,985 shares of its restricted common stock to Jovian to acquire an additional 40% working interest ownership of SUDS. The purchase price of the shares equates to a $4,373,186 value, based on the $0.1799/share market price of our common stock on September 28, 2016 (the effective date of the transaction).

Twin Lakes San Andres Unit (“TLSAU”) Field

TLSAU is located 45 miles from Roswell, Chavez County, New Mexico and consists of 4,864 acres with 130 wells. The last independent reserve report prepared by MKM Engineering on December 31, 2016, reflects approximately 2.7 million barrels of proven oil reserves remaining for the 100% working interest (of which we hold a 40% working interest).  During 2016 and through first quarter end, the field had ninety (90) total wells, eight (8) were producing on timers to equal one well as allowed by permit with thirty-two (32) requiring workovers and an additional fifty (50) will serve as injection wells as needed and permits are acquired.  As of December 31, 2016 Petrolia was the operator of the TLSAU field (through an agreement with BSNM described below).  As of the date of this report, Petrolia owns a 100% working interest in the field.

TLSAU 15% Acquisition
On November 4, 2015, the Company acquired a 15% net working interest in the TLSAU field located in Chavez County, New Mexico (the “Net Working Interest”) and all operating equipment on the field. Through this transaction, the Company increased its reserve base by approximately 384,800 Bbls of (1P) proven reserves. The Company was also assigned all rights to be the operator of the TLSAU unit under a standard operating agreement.

The total purchase price for the acquisition of the net working interest and equipment rights was $196,875 or $0.52 dollars per barrel of oil (Bbl) and was paid to Blue Sky NM, Inc. (“BSNM”). The Company paid $50,000 in cash and gave a promissory note in the amount of $146,875. The $50,000 was paid by the CEO of the Company for the benefit of the Company and recorded as a shareholder advance. Subsequently, the $50,000 advance was converted into 800,000 shares of common stock at $0.06 per share and warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of common stock that expire in three (3) years. In addition, a $1.3 million face value note payable to BSNM was purchased for $316,800 (6,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.0528 per share). With the inclusion of the note receivable, the price per barrel would be $1.33 dollars per barrel oil (Bbl).

TLSAU 25% Acquisition
On September 1, 2016 the Company acquired an additional 25% working interest ownership in the TLSAU field through the issuance of 3,500,000 shares of its restricted common stock to an unrelated party.  The purchase price of the shares equates to a $350,000 value, based on the $0.10 per share market price of Petrolia’s shares on September 1, 2016.  After the purchase, the Company owns a total working interest ownership of 40%.  Included in the purchase price was the write off of $32,288 in outstanding accounts receivable to Petrolia.  The final purchase price allocation of the transaction is as follows: oil and gas properties acquired $424,540, asset retirement obligations assumed of $42,252.

TLSAU 60% Acquisition
Effective February 12, 2017, the Company acquired an additional 60% net working interest in the “Twin Lakes San Andres Unit” or “TLSAU” field located in Chaves County, New Mexico (the “Net Working Interest”) resulting from the execution of a Settlement Agreement on February 12, 2017.  The agreement assigned Dead Aim Investments’ (“Dead Aim”) 60% ownership interests to the Company.  As a result of this transaction, Petrolia now owns 100% working interest in TLSAU.  Consideration of $433,500 was given in exchange for Dead Aim’s working interest.  The consideration includes the forgiveness of the Orbit Petroleum Inc Bankruptcy Estate (“OPBE”) note of $316,800 (with a $1.3million face value) and the write off of $116,700 of Dead Aim’s outstanding accounts receivable to Petrolia.  Dead Aim assumed liability (prior to the acquisition) for the OPBE note that Petrolia purchased.
 
Askarii Resources, LLC

Effective February 1, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding interests in Askarii Resources LLC (“Askarii”), a private Texas based oil & gas service company. The Company acquired Askarii by issuing one (1) million restricted common shares. Based on the then market value of the Company’s common stock at $0.05 per share, the aggregate value of the transaction is $50,000.

Askarii, while dormant for the last few years, has a significant history with major oil companies providing services both onshore and offshore- Gulf of Mexico. Using Askarii, the Company plans to engage in the oil field service business as well as the leasing of field related heavy equipment.  It is also contemplated that Askarii will  research various enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies and methods which it can use for the benefit of the Company’s oil fields.



Results of Operations/Liquidity and Capital Resources

Revenues

Our oil and gas revenue reported for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was $33,560, an increase of $10,561 from revenue of $22,999 for the three month’s ended March 31, 2016. Our increased revenue for the quarter ended March, 31, 2017 as compared with the prior year’s quarter is due to the acquisition of an additional 90% working interest in SUDS and an additional 85% working interest in TLSAU after the first quarter of 2016, as described above.

We had no equipment sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $180,000 from the prior year’s equipment sales of $180,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  This was due to a one time equipment sale to Askarii in 2016.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses decreased to $423,863 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 from $438,736 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Our major expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 were lease operating expenses of $119,992, professional services of $34,878, stock based compensation of $44,780, and salaries and wages of $74,571, all of which are included in general and administrative expenses. In comparison, our major expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 were professional services of $78,666, stock based compensation (directors) of $127,755, and salaries and wages of $77,320, all of which were included in general and administrative expenses
 
Our lease operating expenses increased from $45,994 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 to $119,992 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, due to an additional crew being hired later in 2016 to workover wells and maintain our TLSAU field and a significant increase in working interest ownership in SUDS and TLSAU during 2016.  In addition, a consulting fee of $15,000 was expensed in 2017 for field engineering services. .  Our decrease in general and administrative expenses decrease was primarily due to the recognition of the board’s 2016 warrant compensation in the first quarter of 2016 where the corresponding compensation will not be recognized until second quarter in 2017.  In addition, in 2016 there were increased costs related to contractor compensation for accounting, investor, and financial analysis supporting services that decreased significantly in 2017.
 
Other Income/Expenses
 
Other income/(expense) was ($72,967) for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to other expense of ($66,205) for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.  The increase was due to a increase in interest expense from the loss on warrants issued to extend debt, which was offset by a decrease in consulting income, for the respective period.
 
Net Loss
 
Net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was $463,270 compared to a net loss of $301,942 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 due to the factors described above.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our sources and (uses) of funds for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were:

Cash provided (used) in operations
 
$
(189,796
)
Proceeds from shareholder and affiliate advances
   
126,500
 
 
Overview of Cash Flow Activities:
 
  Net cash used by operating activities was $(186,796) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and net cash provided by operating activities was $39,107 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The change was due primarily to a net loss, an increase in working capital requirements and due to newly acquired fields with higher cumulative lease operating expenses.  This was partially offset by a decrease in cash expended for general and administrative expenses, a delay in the accounts payable cycle (increased days outstanding) and deferred interest on short term debt.

We had no net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $21,261 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.  The decrease was due to a conveyance of oil and gas properties related to the SUDS ORRI.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $125,535 and $3,390 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase from 2016 to 2017 was due to a year to year increase in advances from affiliates ($126,500 compared to $65,000).
As of March 31, 2017, we had total current assets of $58,094 and total assets in the amount of $13,238,671. Our total current liabilities as of March 31, 2017 were $3,258,616. We had negative working capital of $3,200,522 as of March 31, 2017. Our material asset balances are made up of oil & gas properties and related equipment. Our most significant liabilities include a related party notes, ARO and accruals for professional services.  Two notes totaling $4,000,000 are outstanding with Jovian as well as, another related party note ($550,000) with Rick Wilber.  Additionally, there is $318,500 of shareholder advances outstanding and other short term debts that are temporarily funding working capital shortfalls.  See “Note 6 – Notes Payable” to our audited financials included in our Annual Report, for further details regarding our outstanding notes payable.

Our material asset balances are made up of oil and gas properties and related equipment. Our most significant liabilities include related party notes (primarily the purchase of 90% working interest in SUDS from Jovian).

The Company continues to operate at a negative cash flow of approximately $50,000 per month and our Auditors have raised a going concern issue in their latest audit report. Management is pursuing several initiatives to secure funding to increase production at both the SUDS and Twin Lakes fields which together with anticipated increases in the  price of crude oil may reduce Company’s monthly cash shortfall. The total amount required by the Company to accomplish this objective is approximately $250,000, which funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all..
 
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We plan to generate profits by drilling productive oil or gas wells. However, we will need to raise additional funds to drill new wells through the sale of our securities, through loans from third parties or from third parties willing to pay our share of drilling and completing the wells. We do not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide us with any additional capital. If additional financing is not available when needed, we may need to cease operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the capital needed to drill oil or gas wells nor that any such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Any wells which we may drill may not be productive of oil or gas. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern; no adjustments to the financial statements have been made to account for this uncertainty.
 
As described in further detail below under “Part II - Item 5. Other Information”, on April 11, 2017, the Company began a private offering of up to $2 million of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), at $10 per share. As of the date of this filing, an aggregate of 23,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been sold to an aggregate of two investors for an aggregate of $230,000 pursuant to the offering. Additionally, effective April 18, 2017, all non-insider owners of SUDS PORRI interests were authorized to convert those interests, at their sole discretion, to preferred shares in the Company in conjunction with the Company’s current Series A Preferred Stock offering.

The employment contract of Mr. Zel C. Khan, the Company’s CEO, has been revised.  His annual salary will now be the sum of ten dollars ($10.00) per annum, effective January 1, 2017.  This salary change will be effective until the end of the fiscal year 2017.

On April 11, 2017, the Company began a private offering of up to $2 million of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), at $10 per share. On May 3, 2017, the Board of Directors approved, and the Company filed, a Certificate of Designations, designating the rights and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Texas. We also provided the investors in the private offering piggyback registration rights in connection with the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock which remain in place until the earlier of (a) two years from the closing date; and (b) the date that the investors are eligible to sell the securities under Rule 144.

The designation provided for up to 400,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock have an original issuance price of $10 per share; are convertible into shares of common stock of the Company on a 71.429-for-one basis, based on a conversion price of $0.14 per share, provided that accrued and unpaid dividends are also convertible into common stock based on a conversion price of $0.14 per share; entitle the holders thereof the right to receive non-cumulative dividends in preference to any dividend on the common stock at the rate of 9% per annum, payable in cash on a semi-annual basis; participate pro-rata, on an as-converted basis, in cash dividends paid on the common stock; provide the holders thereof the right to receive, in preference to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to the original issuance price, together with any declared but unpaid dividends, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; and contain no redemption rights.
 
The Series A Preferred Stock and all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon automatically convert into common stock, upon the earliest to occur of (i) the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding consenting to such conversion; (ii) the closing of a registered public offering of the Company's common stock, but only if the gross proceeds of the offering to the Corporation equal or exceed $10 million and the offering price is at least $0.30 per share; (iii) May 3, 2022 (the five year anniversary of the date the designation was filed); and (iv) the date that the average closing price per share of the Company's common stock as reported on a national securities exchange, NASDAQ, the OTCQX, the OTCQB, the OTCQX or the OTC Pink market, equals or exceeds $0.28 per share during any period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days.

 
The Series A Preferred Stock votes together with the common stock and not as a separate class except that as long as at least 20% of the original shares of the Series A Preferred Stock issued remain outstanding, consent of the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding is required for any action which (a) increases or decreases (other than by redemption or conversion) the total number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (b) adopts or authorizes any new designation of any preferred stock or which amends the Certificate of Formation of the Company in a manner which adversely affects the rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock; (c) creates (by reclassification or otherwise) any new series or shares of capital stock having rights, preferences, or privileges senior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock in connection with liquidation rights or dividends; (d) effects an exchange, or creates a right of exchange, cancellation, or creates a right to cancel, of all or any part of the shares of another class of shares into shares of Series A Preferred Stock; or (e) alters or changes the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely the shares of such series.

The Series A Preferred Stock includes a blocker prohibiting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into common stock of the Company, if upon such conversion/exercise the holder thereof would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock, provided such limitation shall not apply in the event of an automatic conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Beneficial Ownership Limitation also limits the voting rights of any holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation may be waived by any holder with 61 days prior written notice to the Company.

As of the date of this filing, an aggregate of 23,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been sold to an aggregate of two investors for an aggregate of $230,000 pursuant to the offering.

Effective April 18, 2017, all non-insider owners of SUDS PORRI interests were authorized to convert those interests, at their sole discretion, to preferred shares in the Company in conjunction with the Company’s current Series A Preferred Stock offering

PETROLIA ENERGY CORPORATION
ESTABLISHING THE DESIGNATIONS , PREFERENCES,
LIMITATIONS AND RELATIVE RIGHTS OF ITS
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

Pursuant to Section 21.155 of the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “ TBOC ”), Petrolia Energy Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the TBOC (the “ Corporation ”),

DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Certificate of Formation of the Corporation, as amended, and pursuant to Section 21.155 of the TBOC, the Board of Directors, pursuant to Section 6.201 of the TBOC, by unanimous consent of all members of the Board of Directors on April 28, 2017, duly adopted a resolution providing for the designation of a series of four hundred thousand (400,000) shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which resolution is and reads as follows:

RESOLVED , that pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and invested in the Board of Directors by the provisions of the Certificate of Formation of the Corporation, as amended and Section 21.155 of the TBOC, the Corporation hereby establishes a new series of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Corporation and fixes the number of shares of such series and the powers, designations, preferences and relative rights of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as follows:

The new series of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Corporation shall be, and hereby is, designated “ Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ” (the “ Series A Preferred Stock ” or the “ Preferred Stock ”), and the initial number of designated shares constituting such series shall be four hundred thousand (400,000). The powers and preferences, and the relative, participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions thereon of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be set forth in this Certificate of Designations (the “ Designation ” or the “ Certificate of Designation ”) below:

1.   Dividends .
1.1   Dividends in General . Dividends shall accrue on the Series A Preferred Stock at the end of each calendar month, beginning on the Original Issue Date, at the Dividend Rate, until such Series A Preferred Stock is no longer outstanding either due to conversion or otherwise as provided herein (“ Dividends ” and such Dividends which have accrued as of any applicable date and remain unpaid as of such date, the “ Accrued Dividends ”).
1.2   Payment of Dividends . The Corporation shall, in accordance with the terms set forth herein, pay the Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock all Accrued Dividends in cash (as discussed in Section 1.3 ), within five (5) Business Days, beginning on June 30, 2017, and continuing thereafter on each June 30 th and December 31 st (each, as applicable a “ Dividend Payable Date ”), for so long as the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding.

Page 1


1.3   Cash Dividend Payments . All Dividends payable in cash hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America to each Holder in whose name the Series A Preferred Stock is registered as set forth on the books and records of the Corporation. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account such Holder may from time to time designate by written notice to the Corporation or by Corporation cashier’s check, without any deduction, withholding or offset for any reason whatsoever except to the extent required by law.
1.4   Participation . Subject to the rights of other holders, if any, of any securities senior to or pari passu with, the Series A Preferred Stock, the Holders shall, as holders of Series A Preferred Stock, in addition to the Dividends described in Section 1.1 , above, be entitled to such dividends paid and Distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such Holders had converted the Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion herein or elsewhere) and had held such shares of Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and Distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or Distribution to the holders of Common Stock. Following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event (as hereinafter defined) and the payment in full to a Holder of its applicable Liquidation Preference, such Holder shall cease to have any rights hereunder to participate in any future dividends or distributions made to the holders of Common Stock. No Distributions shall be made with respect to the Common Stock until all past due, if any, and/or declared Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been paid or set aside for payment to the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders shall have no right of participation in connection with dividends or Distributions made to the Common Stock shareholders consisting solely of shares of Common Stock.
1.5   Non-Cash Distributions . Whenever a Distribution provided for in this Section 1 shall be payable in property other than cash, the value of such Distribution shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
1.6   Other Distributions . Subject to the terms of this Certificate of Designation, and to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC, the Corporation shall be expressly permitted to redeem, repurchase or make distributions on the shares of its capital stock in all circumstances other than where doing so would cause the Corporation to be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business (unless consent to such redemption, repurchase or distribution is provided by the lenders thereunder).
1.7   Dividend Default . In the event a Dividend Default should occur in respect to the Dividends due to Holder, any unpaid Dividends shall accrue interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum until such Dividend Default is cured by the Corporation.
2.   Liquidation Rights .
2.1   Liquidation Preference . In the event of any Liquidation Event, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive prior and in preference to any Distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Corporation’s securities other than Senior Securities by reason of their ownership of such stock, but not prior to any holders of the

Page 2


Corporation’s Senior Securities, which holders of the Senior Securities shall have priority to the Distribution of any assets of the Corporation upon the ocurrence of any Liquidation Event, by reason of their ownership of such stock, the greater (as applicable, the “ Liquidation Preference ”)   of (i) an amount per share for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by them equal to the Original Issue Price, or (ii) the amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 immediately prior to such Liquidation Event. If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock ( i.e. , after payment of the Corporation’s liabilities and payment to any holders of the Corporation’s Senior Securities) are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full amounts specified in this Section then the entire assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and applicable law.
2.2   Remaining Assets . After the payment to the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock of the full preferential amounts specified above, the entire remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution by the Corporation shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Junior Securities in proportion to the number of shares of Junior Securities held by them and the holders of Common Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them.
2.3   Valuation of Non-Cash Consideration . If any assets of the Corporation distributed to stockholders in connection with any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation are other than cash, then the value of such assets shall be their fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. In the event of a merger or other acquisition of the Corporation by another entity, the Distribution date shall be deemed to be the date such transaction closes.
2.4   Effecting a Merger or Consolidation . The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Liquidation Event or other transaction which is a merger, consolidation or exchange pursuant to which the shareholders of the Corporation will, subsequent to such transaction, hold less than 50% of the voting securities of the resulting entity, unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction (the “ Merger Agreement ”) provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Sections 2.1 and  2.2 .
3.   Conversion . The Series A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “ Conversion Rights ”):
3.1   Holder Conversion .
(a)   Each share of Series A Preferred Stock and all Accrued Dividends shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder thereof (a “ Holder Conversion ”), at any time following the Original Issuer Date, at the office of the Corporation or any Transfer Agent for the Series A Preferred Stock, into that number of fully-paid, nonassessable shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) the Original Issue Price for the Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) the
Page 3


total Accrued Dividends, desired to be converted, by the Conversion Price (such shares of Common Stock issuable upon a Conversion, the “ Holder Conversion Shares ”). In order to effectuate the Holder Conversion under this Section 3.1 , the Holder must provide the Corporation a written notice of conversion in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “ Notice of Conversion ”). The Notice of Conversion must be dated no earlier than three (3) Business Days from the date the Notice of Conversion is actually received by the Corporation.
(b)   Mechanics of Conversion . In order to effect a Holder Conversion, a Holder shall fax or email a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (or in the discretion of the Corporation, with notice to the Holder, the Transfer Agent)(Attention: James Burns, 710 N. Post Oak Rd., Ste. 512, Houston, Texas 77024, Email: james.b@petroliaenergy.com, with a copy to (which shall not constitute notice) The Loev Law Firm, PC, Attn: David M. Loev, Esq., 6300 West Loop South, Suite 280, Bellaire, Texas 77401, Fax: (713) 524-4122, Email: dloev@loevlaw.com). Upon receipt by the Corporation (or the Transfer Agent) of a facsimile or emailed copy of a Notice of Conversion from a Holder, the Corporation (or the Transfer Agent) shall promptly send, via facsimile or email, a confirmation to such Holder stating that the Notice of Conversion has been received, the date upon which the Corporation (or the Transfer Agent) expects to deliver the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Corporation (or the Transfer Agent) regarding the Holder Conversion. The Holder shall surrender, or cause to be surrendered, the Preferred Stock Certificates being converted, duly endorsed, to the Corporation (or the Transfer Agent) at the address listed above within three (3) Business Days of delivering the fully executed Notice of Conversion. The Corporation (or the Transfer Agent) shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon a Conversion unless either (x) the Preferred Stock Certificates; or (y) the Lost Certificate Materials described in Section 11 below have been previously received by the Corporation or its Transfer Agent. In the event the Holder has lost or misplaced the certificates evidencing the Preferred Stock, the Holder shall be required to provide the Corporation or the Corporation’s Transfer Agent (as applicable) with whatever reasonable documentation and fees each may require to re-issue the Preferred Stock Certificates and shall be required to provide such re-issued Preferred Stock Certificates to the Corporation (or the Transfer Agent) within three (3) Business Days of delivering the Notice of Conversion. Unless the Holder Conversion Shares are covered by a valid and effective registration under the Securities Act or the Notice of Conversion provided by the Holder includes a valid opinion from an attorney stating that such shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the Notice of Conversion can be issued free of restrictive legend, which shall be determined by the Corporation (or the Transfer Agent) in its sole discretion, such shares shall be issued as Restricted Shares.
(c)   Delivery of Common Stock upon Conversion . Upon the receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Corporation (itself, or through its Transfer Agent) shall, no later than the third (3 rd ) Business Day following the date of such receipt (subject to the surrender of the Preferred Stock Certificates by the Holder within the period described in Section 3.1 (b) or, in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, after provision of the Lost Certificate Materials) (the “ Delivery Period ”), issue and deliver (i.e., deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service postage prepaid) to the Holder or its nominee (x) a certificate representing the Holder Conversion Shares and (y) a certificate representing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock not being converted, if any.
Page 4


(d)   Failure to Provide Preferred Stock Certificates . In the event the Holder provides the Corporation with a Notice of Conversion, but fails to provide the Corporation with the Preferred Stock Certificates or the Lost Certificate Materials (as defined in Section 11 below), by the end of the Delivery Period, the Notice of Conversion shall be considered void and the Corporation shall not be required to comply with such Notice of Conversion. Provided that if the Notice of Conversion only relates to the conversion of Accrued Dividends, the Holder shall not be required to provide the Corporation any Preferred Stock Certificates.
(e)   Beneficial Ownership Limitation for Holder Conversions and Voting . No Holder Conversion shall result in the conversion of more than that number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, if any, such that, upon such Holder Conversion, the aggregate beneficial ownership of the Corporation’s Common Stock (calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of such Holder and all persons affiliated with such Holder as described in Rule 13d-3 is more than 4.999% of the Corporation’s Common Stock then outstanding (the “ Maximum Percentage ”). In the event any Holder Conversion would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock to any Holder in excess of the Maximum Percentage, only that number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock which when Converted would not result in such Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage shall be subject to such applicable Holder Conversion, if any, and Holder shall continue to hold any remaining shares of Series A Preferred stock, the conversion of which would result in Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage. The Corporation’s Transfer Agent shall be authorized to promptly disclose the total outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation to the Holder from time to time at the request of the Holder in order for the Holder to determine its compliance with the Maximum Percentage. The provisions of this Section 3.1 (e) shall not be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3.1 (e) to correct this Section (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The Corporation shall not be required to verify or investigate or confirm whether any Holder Conversion would exceed the Maximum Percentage, and instead the Corporation shall be able to rely on any Notice of Holder Conversion as prima facie evidence of, and as a representation by, the applicable Holder, that such applicable conversion described in the Notice of Holder Conversion would not result in a violation of the Maximum Percentage. Additionally, in no event shall any Holder have the right pursuant to Section 5 below, to vote, on any matter presented to the shareholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of shareholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of shareholders in lieu of meeting), a number of voting shares in excess of the Maximum Percentage . The Maximum Percentage may be increased or decreased by the Holder, at the election of the Holder, from time to time, upon not less than 61 days’ prior written notice to the Corporation. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such written notice is delivered to the Corporation.
3.2   Automatic Conversion .
(a)   Each share of Series A Preferred Stock and all Accrued Dividends thereon, shall automatically and without any required action by any Holder, be converted into that number of fully-paid, non-assessable shares of Common Stock as determined by dividing the
Page 5


Original Issue Price of each share of Series A Preferred and all Accrued Dividends thereon by the Conversion Price, on the Automatic Conversion Date (an “ Automatic Conversion ”).
(b)   Following an Automatic Conversion, the Corporation shall within two (2) Business Days, deliver notice to each Holder that an Automatic Conversion has occurred, at the address of each Holder which the Corporation then has on record (an “ Automatic Conversion Notice ”); provided, that the Corporation is not required to receive any confirmation that such Automatic Conversion Notice was received by a Holder, but instead assuming such Automatic Conversion Notice was sent to the address which the Corporation then has on record for such Holder, the Automatic Conversion Notice shall be treated as received by the Holder for all purposes on the third (3 rd ) Business Day following the date such notice was sent by the Corporation (the “ Automatic Conversion Notice Receipt Date ”). Within three (3) Business Days following the Automatic Conversion Notice Receipt Date, the Corporation shall issue to each Holder all shares of Common Stock which such Holder is due in connection with the Automatic Conversion (the “ Automatic Conversion Shares ”, and together with the Holder Conversion Shares, the “ Shares ”) and promptly deliver such Automatic Conversion Shares to the address of Holder which the Corporation then has on record (a “ Delivery ”). The Automatic Conversion Shares issuable in connection with an Automatic Conversion shall be fully-paid, non-assessable shares of Common Stock. Unless the Automatic Conversion Shares are covered by a valid and effective registration under the Securities Act or the Holder provides a valid opinion from an attorney stating that such Automatic Conversion Shares can be issued free of restrictive legend, which shall be determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion, prior to the issuance date of such Automatic Conversion Shares, such Automatic Conversion Shares shall be issued as Restricted Shares.
(c)   The issuance and Delivery by the Corporation of the Automatic Conversion Shares shall fully discharge the Corporation from any and all further obligations under or in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock and shall automatically, and without any required action by the Corporation or the Holder, result in the cancellation, termination and invalidation of any outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Preferred Stock Certificates held by Holder or his, her or its assigns and shall upon the payment of the Automatic Conversion Dividends, fully discharge any and all requirement for the Corporation to pay Dividends on such Series A Preferred Stock shares converted, which Series A Preferred Stock converted shall cease accruing Dividends upon an Automatic Conversion.
(d)   Without limiting the obligation of each Holder set forth herein (including in the subsequent clause (e), the Corporation and/or the Corporation’s Transfer Agent shall be authorized to take whatever action necessary, if any, following the issuance and Delivery of the Automatic Conversion Shares to reflect the cancellation of the Series A Preferred Stock subject to the Automatic Conversion, which shall not require the approval and/or consent of any Holder (a “ Cancellation ”).
(e)   Notwithstanding the above, each Holder, by accepting such Preferred Stock Certificates hereby covenants that it will, whenever and as reasonably requested by the Corporation and the Transfer Agent, at the Corporation’s sole cost and expense, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such other and further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, confirmations, powers of attorney and any instruments of further
Page 6


assurance, approvals and consents as the Corporation or the Transfer Agent may reasonably require in order to complete, insure and perfect the Cancellation, if such may be reasonably required by the Corporation and/or the Corporation’s Transfer Agent.
(f)   In the event that the Delivery of any Automatic Conversion Shares is unsuccessful and/or any Holder fails to accept such Automatic Conversion Shares, such Automatic Conversion Shares shall be held by the Corporation and/or the Transfer Agent in trust (without accruing interest) and shall be released to such Holder upon reasonable evidence to the Corporation or the Transfer Agent that such Holder is the legal owner of such Automatic Conversion Shares, provided that the Holder’s failure to accept such Automatic Conversion Shares, cash Accrued Dividends and/or the Corporation’s inability to Deliver such shares or dividends shall in no event effect the validity of the Cancellation.
(g)   The Automatic Conversion Right shall supersede and take priority over the Holder’s Optional Conversion Right in the event that there are any conflicts between such rights.
(h)   The Maximum Percentage ownership limitation described in Section 3.1(e) above shall not apply to an Automatic Conversion.
3.3   Fractional Shares . If any Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock (aggregating all shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted pursuant to a given Notice of Conversion), then, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be the next higher whole number of shares.
3.4   Taxes .   The Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect to any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon Conversion in a name other than that in which the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid. The Corporation shall withhold from any payment due whatsoever in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock any and all required withholdings and/or taxes the Corporation, in its sole discretion deems reasonable or necessary, absent an opinion from Holder’s accountant or legal counsel, acceptable to the Corporation in its sole determination, that such withholdings and/or taxes are not required to be withheld by the Corporation.
3.5   No Impairment . The Corporation will not through any reorganization, transfer of assets, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock against impairment.

4.   Adjustments for Recapitalizations .
4.1   Equitable Adjustments for Recapitalizations . (a) The Liquidation Preference and the Original Issue Price (each, as and if applicable) (the “ Preferred Stock Adjustable Provisions ”); (b) any provisions hereof which are expressly tied to the price or value of the Common Stock of the Corporation, including the Conversion Price (as and if applicable) (the “ Common Stock Adjustable Provisions ”), and (c) any and all other terms, conditions, amounts and provisions of this Designation which (i) pursuant to the terms of this Designation provide for equitable adjustment in the event of a Recapitalization (the “ Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions ”); or (ii) the Board of Directors of the Corporation determines in their reasonable good faith judgment is required to be equitably adjusted in connection with any Recapitalizations, shall each be subject to equitable adjustment as provided in Sections 4.2 through 4.3 , below, as determined by the Board of Directors in their sole and reasonable discretion.
4.2   Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Common Stock . In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, without a corresponding subdivision of the Series A Preferred Stock, the applicable Common Stock Adjustable Provisions and the Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions (if any) in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately and equitably adjusted. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, without a corresponding combination of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Common Stock Adjustable Provisions and the Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions (if any) in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately and equitably adjusted.
4.3   Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Series A Preferred Stock . In the event the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the applicable Preferred Stock Adjustable Provisions, Common Stock Adjustable Provisions and the Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions (if any) in effect
Page 8


immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately and equitably adjusted. In the event the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the applicable Preferred Stock Adjustable Provisions, Common Stock Adjustable Provisions and the Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions (if any) in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately and equitably adjusted. Provided however that the result of any concurrent adjustment in the Common Stock (as provided under Section 4.2 ) and Series A Preferred Stock (as provided under Section 4.3 ) shall only be to affect the equitable adjustable provisions hereof once .
4.4   Other Adjustments . The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall also adjust equitably, and shall have the right to adjust equitably, any or all of the Preferred Stock Adjustable Provisions, Common Stock Adjustable Provisions or Other Equitable Adjustable Provisions from time to time, if the Board of Directors of the Corporation determine in their reasonable good faith judgment that such values and/or provisions are required to be equitably adjusted in connection with any Corporation action.
4.5   Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution .
(a)   Except to the extent such Recapitalization Event is subject to Sections 4.1 through 4.3 , above (the “ Recapitalization and Adjustment Rights ”), if at any time or from time to time after the date of the filing of the Designation there shall occur any capital reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, share exchange, restructuring, consolidation, combination or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Series A Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) of the Corporation or otherwise (other than a transaction covered by the Recapitalization and Adjustment Rights) (each a “ Recapitalization Event ”), provision shall be made so that each Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash or any combination thereof) of the Corporation or otherwise, to which a Common Stock stockholder holding the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder are convertible immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled upon such event.
(b)   In the event that the holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in the business combination, then the Corporation shall make adequate provision whereby the Holders shall have the opportunity to determine the form of consideration into which all of the Series A Preferred Stock, treated as a single class, shall be convertible from and after the effective date of such business combination. If such opportunity is granted, such determination shall be based on the determination at a meeting duly called or via a written consent to action of a Simple Majority, shall be subject to any limitations to which all holders of Common Stock are subject, such as pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in such business combination, and shall be conducted in such a manner as to be completed by the date which is the earliest of (1) the deadline for elections to be made by holders of Common Stock and (2) two Business Days prior to the
Page 9


anticipated effective date of the business combination. Further, the Corporation shall not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof, the successor entity (if other than the Corporation) resulting from consolidation or merger or the entity purchasing such assets assumes by written instrument, the obligation to deliver to each such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to acquire.
(c)   If a conversion of Series A Preferred Stock is to be made in connection with a transaction contemplated by this Section 4.3 or a similar transaction affecting the Corporation (other than a tender or exchange offer), the conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock may, at the election of the Holder thereof, be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such conversion shall not be deemed to be effective until such transaction has been consummated. In connection with any tender or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, Holders shall have the right to tender (or submit for exchange) shares of Series A Preferred Stock in such a manner so as to preserve the status of such shares as Series A Preferred Stock until immediately prior to such time as shares of Common Stock are to be purchased (or exchanged) pursuant to such offer, at which time that portion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so tendered which is convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased (or exchanged) pursuant to such offer shall be deemed converted into the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock. Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock not so converted shall be returned to the Holder as Series A Preferred Stock.
(d)   None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder to convert such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock prior to the effective date of such business combination, subject to the terms of this Designation.
(e)   In the event of any Recapitalization Event falling under this Section 4.3 , in such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4.3 with respect to the rights and interests of the Holders after such events to the end that the provisions of this Section 4.3 (including, but not limited to, adjustment of the Conversion Price in respect of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of all such shares of Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly reasonably as may be. The Corporation may not become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with the preceding requirements and such transaction is otherwise effected in accordance with this Designation.
4.6   Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 4 , the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the reasonable written request at any time of any Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Certificate of Formation or this Designation, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class. In the event any Holder’s voting rights under this Section 5.1 are limited by the Maximum Percentage, the total number of voting shares eligible to be voted on the applicable matter shall similarly be decreased.

EXHIBIT 10.3

Petrolia Energy Corporation
Best Efforts, No Minimum Offering
Private Offering to Accredited Investors of
Series A Convertible 9% Preferred Stock
April 11, 2017
Houston, Texas

The following information is provided to you as an accredited investor who has indicated an interest in investing in these securities. The Officers and Directors of Petrolia Energy Corporation (the “Company” or “Petrolia”) are available to answer questions and provide additional information you may request.

The Company operates and owns a 100% Working Interest in three (3) oil fields located across three States: 1) a 660 acre lease in Milam County, Texas (the Noack Oil Lease); 2) a 4,800 acre lease in Chaves County, New Mexico (Twin Lakes San Andres Lease or TLSAU); and 3) a 2,600 acre lease in Creek County, Oklahoma (Slick Unit Dutcher Sands or SUDS). In the past 24 months, Petrolia’s proven oil reserves have grown from approximately 200,000 barrels of proven 1P oil reserves to an estimated 4 million barrels of proven 1P oil reserves from these oil leases combined (ref. 2015 Independent Year-End Reserve Report).

As Petrolia now officially owns a 100% Working Interest in each of the 3 leases, we are ready to execute a production development plan at the field level for each lease. Such plans are available for review at Petrolia’s Headquarters upon request and subject to potential investors entering into customary non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements. In addition, Management has been working diligently on another strategic acquisition in California which, if successfully closed, will allow the Company to operate in California.

Funds from this offering are planned to be used to:

a) The Development Plan for TLSAU requires $500,000 to workover 28 wells and initiate a waterflood in certain areas of the field. Target production is 150 BOPD upon completion of this phase.

b) The Development Plan for SUDS requires $500,000 to drill 2 vertical infill wells and workover 26 current wells. Target production is 150 BOPD upon completion of this phase.

c) The Development Plan for the Noack Oil Lease requires $100,000 to drill 1 vertical infill well and workover the 14 existing wells. Target production upon completion of this phase is 50 BOPD.

d) Reduce outstanding liabilities and provide working capital. Approximately $900,000.

Risk factors

The Company has filed various reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission that are available online at www.sec.gov for any potential investor to read that discloses substantial risk factors involved with the Company and any security it may issue.

All potential investors are encouraged to read the reports and risk factors and ask any questions that may arise.

Operating plan

As disclosed in the Report described above, the Company owns and operates three fields in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. These fields encompass 8,060 acres and have 190 existing drilled wells (both producing wells and disposal wells) in place with all necessary infrastructure including gathering lines and holding tanks. The development plan for all 3 oil leases is to drill new wells and workover the old wells with the combination of new production technology available at low cost with sustained production above 500 BOPD which the Company believes will be sufficient for the Company to be self-sustaining moving forward. As disclosed, the Company plans on using some of the proceeds of this offering to acquire a 65% working interest in the Midway-Sunset leases in Kern County, California. This is a strategic area and Petrolia’s management is experienced in operating in this area with 13 years of successful operating history.

The Company plans on up-listing its shares of common stock which are currently being traded on the OTCQB market to the OTCQX market during the second quarter of 2017, provided that the Company meets the requirements to up list. With a firm footing established, the Company intends to raise additional capital through future offerings and financings, to take advantage of the current low entry point in the market. By avoiding the pitfalls of overleveraging and utilizing the skills evidenced by the management team, led by Zel C. Khan, the Company believes it can successfully build significant shareholder value. The management team has prepared financial forecasts relating to the three fields currently being operated and the field being acquired. These forecasts are available for inspection as are all the geological reports and related information upon execution of a confidentiality agreement.

Notwithstanding the obligations set forth above, if any Securities and Exchange Commission guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of securities permitted to be registered on a particular registration statement as a secondary offering, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such registration statement will be reduced pro rata between the Subscriber (or other parties) whose securities are included in such registration statement.
