EXPLANATORY NOTE
Fortem Resources Inc. (“we”, our”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to its Quarter Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended November 30, 2018 (the “Original Filing”) filed on January 9, 2019. We are filing this Amendment to:
● | Restate our consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended November 30, 2018, as a result of an error in the initial measurement of the fair value of Colony Energy, LLC, Black Dragon Energy, LLC, Rolling Rock Resources, LLC, and City of Gold, LLC (collectively, “the LLCs”) that were acquired in 2017 and the subsequent measurement of the fair value of the rights to the mineral exploration project acquired from the acquisition of City of Gold, LLC. | |
● | The Company had measured the above acquisitions based on the fair value of the assets acquired. However, we have subsequently determined that our common shares are traded in an active market and was the more reliably measurable determinant of fair value. Consequently, the Company has measured the acquisitions based on the quoted market price of the common shares issued to acquire the LLCs. | |
● | The re-measurement of the fair value of the LLCs acquisitions increased the book value of the rights of the mineral exploration project. The Company had determined that the rights to the mineral exploration project had met certain impairment indicators. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment to reflect the fair value of the rights to the mineral exploration project. | |
● | The derivative financial liabilities related to warrants resulted from the difference in currencies of the warrants (US$) and the functional currency of the Company (formerly C$). As at March 1, 2017, the Company changed its functional currency to the US dollar at which time the derivative was re-measured and derecognized. |
In connection with the Original Filing, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, our management evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of November 30, 2018. Subsequently, the Company’s management has determined that the improper design of controls with respect to the calculation of the fair value $0.001, outstanding.of the Company’s acquisitions was a deficiency in its internal control over financial reporting resulting from the material weakness identified at November 30, 2018.
All other information included in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2018 has not been amended. Except for the matters described above, this amendment does not modify or update disclosures in the originally filed quarterly report on Form 10-Q, or reflect events occurring after January 9, 2019, which is the date of the filing of the originally filed quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
ii
The certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are attached to this Amendment as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2 respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three and nine months ended November 30, 20172018
(Expressed in US dollars – Unaudited)
1.
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Fortem Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 9, 2004. The Company focuses its business efforts on the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties.
The accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of November 30, 2017,2018, the Company has not achieved profitable operations, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $14,318,303.$38,575,102.
The Company has restated its November 30, 2018 consolidated condensed interim financial statements as disclosed in Note 19.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities when they come due. To date, the Company has funded operations through the issuance of capital stock and debt. Management plans to continue raising additional funds through equity or debt financings and loans from directors. There is no certainty that further funding will be available as needed. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue operating as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue its operations as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise sufficient new capital to fund its operating commitments and ongoing losses and ultimately on generating profitable operations. The consolidated condensed interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to be recorded to assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements from the year ended February 28, 20172018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The unaudited consolidated condensed interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the 10-K report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the nine months ended November 30, 20172018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2018.2019.
Basis of consolidation
These consolidated condensed interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Colony Energy, LLC, (“Colony”) Black Dragon Energy, LLC, (“Black Dragon”) Rolling Rock Resources, LLC (“Rolling Rock”) and City of Gold, LLC.LLC (“City of Gold”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company has changed its functional currency from Canadian Dollars to United States Dollars as at September 1, 2017. Management determined that based on the terms of the agreements pertaining to its oil and gas assets and that it began to pursue financing opportunities in US dollars, the change was required to better reflect the economic environment in which it operates. In accordance with ASC 830-45-10, the previous foreign exchange translation adjustments remain in other comprehensive income and translated amounts of non-monetary assets and liabilities as at August 31, 2017 become the accounting basis for these items in future periods. As at September 1, 2017, the Company’s functional currency and its reporting currency is the United States Dollar. Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficiency), whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The estimated fair value of cash, receivable, loan receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to related parties, advance payable and note payable approximate their carrying value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, there for requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumption that market participants would use in pricing.
The Company had certain level 3 assets required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with US GAAP as at November 30, 2017. As at November 30, 2017, the Company’s Level 3 assets consist of shares and warrants of a private company. The resulting level 3 assets have no active market and are required to be measured at their fair value each reporting period based on information that is unobservable. As at November 30, 2017, the fair value of the level 3 assets was equal to $1,500,000 with their fair value based on the price paid to acquire the investment.
A summary of the Company’s level 3 liabilities for the nine months ended November 30, 2017 and year ended February 28, 2017 is as follows:

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss)Loss per Share
EarningsBasic earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average of all potentially dilutive shares of the common stock that were outstanding during the years presented. There were 6,123,6982,750,000 (February 28, 20172018 - 6,123,698)5,323,698) potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2018
(Expressed in US dollars – Unaudited)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share (continued)
The treasury stock method is used in calculating diluted EPS for potentially dilutive stock options and share purchase warrants, which assumes that any proceeds received from the exercise of in-the-money stock options and share purchase warrants, would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. The most significant estimates with regard to these financial statements relate to carrying values of oil and gas properties and investments, the assumptions used to record asset retirement obligations, the assumptions used to determine the fair value of derivative financial assets and liabilities, and valuation of share-based payments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15,Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable) and to provide related footnote disclosures. The ASU provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which for the Company is March 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. ASU No 2016-15 addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company'sCompany’s present or future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefor requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumption that market participants would use in pricing.

The Company’s previously issued financial statements have been restated to reflect the correction of errors relating to the valuation of shares issued in connection to the acquisitions of Colony Energy, LLC, Black Dragon Energy, LLC, Rolling Rock Resources, LLC, and City of Gold, LLC (collectively, “the LLCs”) during the nine months ended November 30, 2017. These shares should have been reported using the fair value of the shares on the date it was issued. This restatement was announced in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on July 15, 2019. In addition, the Company determined there were impairment indicators and wrote down the rights to the mineral exploration project to $1. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment of rights to the mineral exploration project of $39,530,233 and a deferred tax liability recovery of $9,500,000.
The Company had measured the above acquisitions based on the par value of the shares issued to acquire the LLCs. The Company has determined that its common shares issued are traded in an active market and should have been recorded based on the quoted market price of the shares on the date it was issued. Therefore, the Company has revised its accounting to record the transactions based on the fair value of the shares issued.
The derivative financial liabilities related to warrants resulted from the difference in currencies of the warrants (US$) and the functional currency of the Company (formerly C$). As at March 1, 2017, the Company has an accrued interestchanged its functional currency to the US dollar at which time the derivative was re-measured and derecognized.

Based on a separate transaction, our company and the vendor have acquired an additional 5,174 acres in the Mancos formation and hold a 50/50 partnership, which is part of the AMI and its original agreement.

City of Gold
On May 17, 2017, we acquired 100% of the membership interest in City of Gold, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, from two Nevada limited liability companies pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated as of May 17, 2017. The Membership Interest Purchase Agreement provides for a total purchase price consisting of an aggregate of 30,000,000 common shares in the capital of our company. 15,000,000 of these shares were issued at closing (7,500,000 to each transferor); the other 15,000,000 shares are to be issued within ten Business Days after City of Gold, LLC earns the Option (as defined below).
City of Gold, LLC‘sLLC’s sole asset consists of 2,930,259 common shares and 2,930,259 share purchase warrants in the capital of Asia Pacific Mining Limited (“Asia Pacific”) and its rights under a binding financing and option agreement (the“Option Agreement”) with Asia Pacific and an individual named Nyi Nyi Lwin. City of Gold, LLC’s only liabilities consist of three demand notes for an aggregate of $1,500,000.
Under the Option Agreement, Asia Pacific and Nyi Nyi Lwin have agreed to grant to City of Gold, LLC the option (the“Option” “Option”) to purchase 100% of the ownership interest in a wholly-owned subsidiary of Asia Pacific (the “Project Subsidiary”) which, in turn, owns 100% of the rights to the City of Gold mineral exploration project located in Myanmar which covers an area of approximately 465 square kilometers in close proximity to hydropower, water, and infrastructure to accommodate exploration and development of the property.property (the “City of Gold Project”). City of Gold, LLC can earnwill be granted the Option upon satisfaction of the following:
● | Subscription of 976,753 units of Asia Pacific for a purchase price of $500,000 on or prior to March 2, 2017 (completed); | |
● | Subscription of 976,753 units of Asia Pacific for a purchase price of $500,000 on or prior to March 16, 2017 (completed); | |
● | Subscription of 976,753 units of Asia Pacific for a purchase price of $500,000 on or prior to April 28, 2017 (completed); and | |
● | Subscription of 2,930,261 units of Asia Pacific for a purchase price of $1,500,000 (the “Final Funding Tranche”), due within 60 days of issuance of an exploration license for the City of Gold Project by the Government of Myanmar (the “License”). |
Each share purchase warrant is exercisable for a term equal to the greater of two years from the closing of the Final Funding Tranche or 18 months from the issuance of the License at an exercise price of $0.51 for the first year and $1.02 for the second year. Asia Pacific utilized $500,000 of the initial three tranches towards an exploration program of the City of Gold Project. Asia Pacific is required to use all proceeds for the Final Funding Tranche towards exploration of the Project Subsidiary’s mining interests, including no less than $500,000 towards drilling the City of Gold Project subject to a financing condition.
Once it has earned(the “Drilling Program”). Upon the Option,closing of the Final Funding Tranche, City of Gold, LLC will have earned the optionOption. We anticipate that the normal course of receiving the License will take longer than 12 months. As a result, we do not anticipate commencing the Drilling Program or incurring additional expenses related to requirethe project within the next 12 month period. We anticipate holding our interest in the City of Gold Project for the long term. If circumstances warrant, we intend to exercise the Option by transferring the City of Gold Project into a subsidiary (“Spinco”) with the aim of completing a “spin-off” transaction of its anticipated 70% interest in Spinco under the plan of arrangement provisions in accordance with applicable securities and corporate laws in order to realize a benefit for our company and/or our stockholders.
Once City of Gold, LLC has earned the Option, it will have the right to exercise the Option for a period of 120 days from completion of the Drilling Program, which City of Gold, LLC can extend for an additional 120 days if it can demonstrate that all conditions to exercise of the Option are complete other than approval from the applicable stock exchange upon which the shares of Spinco are to be listed. To exercise the Option, Asia Pacific has agreed to transfer the Project Subsidiary to a Canadian publicly listed company to be selected by City of Gold, LLC (“Acquisition Co”)Spinco for an exercise price consisting of $7,000,000 in cash and 30% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Acquisition CoSpinco (calculated on a fully diluted basis, excluding up to 10% in stock options, but including shares Acquisition CoSpinco may have issued in order to raise the exercise price of $7,000,000 and an additional $5,000,000 in working capital). Half of the cash portion of the exercise price must be paid upon exercise of the Option; the balance is to be paid on the first anniversary of the exercise and is to be evidenced by a one-year secured term note. Although City of Gold, LLC has the right to select Acquisition Co., itSpinco, Spinco must select a Canadian publicly listed company that meets certainmeet the following criteria: at exercise of the Option, Acquisition CoSpinco must have less than $100,000 in liabilities and $5,000,000 or more in working capital and Asia Pacific will have the right to nominate 30% of its directors.
Future Development Costs for Compeer
During fiscal 2018/19, Although we plan to focus oncurrently anticipate that the exploration and drillingexercise of the Farmout Lands, identify and complete additional asset acquisition(s), and pursue joint venture agreements with third partiesOption will be structured as a “spin-off” transaction, we have the flexibility under the Option Agreement to explore for oil and gasstructure the transaction in Canada andother ways provided the United States.conditions to exercise are met. However, we anticipate that such a structure will result in the most efficient way to monetize our interest in the City of Gold Project at this time.

As a result, we estimate our general and administrative expense will be higher in fiscal 2018.2019.
Our company’s cash will not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve month period. Our company plans to raise the capital required to satisfy our immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet our estimated funding requirements for the next twelve months primarily through the issuance of our equity securities. There is no assurance that our company will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued working capital requirements. The ability of our company to meet our financial liabilities and commitments is primarily dependent upon the continued financial support of our directors and shareholders, the continued issuance of equity to new shareholders, and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further long-term financing, successful exploration of our property interests, the identification of reserves sufficient enough to warrant development, successful development of our property interests and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2017,2018, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our stockholders.
Going Concern
Our interim financial statements and information for the period ended November 30, 2017,2018, have been prepared by our management on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. We have generated no significant revenues to date and have incurred a net loss of $7,973,277$1,052,503 during the nine month period ended November 30, 2017,2018, and an accumulated deficit of $14,318,303$38,575,102 from inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue operating as a going concern. We cannot provide any assurance that we will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional funds through the sale of debt and/or equity.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to theSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under theSecurities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 under theSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018, filed on June 28, 2018, as amended on July 11, 2018 and October 15, 2019.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 20172018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Other than as disclosed below, we know of no material pending legal proceedings to which our company is a party or of which any of our properties is the subject. In addition, we do not know of any such proceedings contemplated by any governmental authorities.
We know of no material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder is a party adverse to our company or has a material interest adverse to our company.
We were subject to the following claims:
An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this quarterly report in evaluating our company and our business before purchasing shares of our common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed as a result of the occurrence of any of the following risks. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks. You should invest in our common stock only if you can afford to lose your entire investment.
Risks Related to Our Company
We have a history of losses and this trend may continue and may negatively impact our ability to achieve our business objectives.
We have experienced net losses since inception, and expect to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. Our accumulated deficit was $14,318,303$38,575,102 as at November 30, 2017.2018. We may not be able to generate significant revenues in the future. As a result, our management expects our business to continue to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future and cannot predict when, if ever, our business might become profitable. We will need to raise additional funds, and such funds may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to execute our business plan, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. This may seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have a limited operating history, which may hinder our ability to successfully meet our objectives.
We have a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects. We do not have an established history of operating producing properties or locating and developing properties that have oil and gas reserves. As a result, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven. In addition, because of our limited operating history, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. Errors may be made in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends and we will be subject to the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in evolving markets. We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks and uncertainties. Failure to adequately do so could cause our business, results of operations and financial condition to suffer.
Our operations and proposed exploration activities will require significant capital expenditures for which we may not have sufficient funding and if we do obtain additional financing, our existing shareholders may suffer substantial dilution.
We intend to make capital expenditures far in excess of our existing capital resources to develop, acquire and explore oil and gas properties. We intend to rely on funds from operations and external sources of financing to meet our capital requirements to continue acquiring, exploring and developing oil and gas properties and to otherwise implement our business plan. We plan to obtain additional funding through the debt and equity markets, but we can offer no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when it is required or that it will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.
The successful implementation of our business plan is subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas business, which if not adequately managed, could result in additional losses.
Our oil and gas operations are subject to the economic risks typically associated with exploration and development activities, including the necessity of making significant expenditures to locate and acquire properties and to drill exploratory wells. In addition, the availability of drilling rigs and the cost and timing of drilling, completing and, if warranted, operating wells is often uncertain. In conducting exploration and development activities, the presence of unanticipated pressure or irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause our exploration, development and, if warranted, production activities to be unsuccessful. This could result in a total loss of our investment in a particular well. If exploration efforts are unsuccessful in establishing proved reserves and exploration activities cease, the amounts accumulated as unproved costs will be charged against earnings as impairments.
In addition, market conditions or the unavailability of satisfactory oil and gas transportation arrangements may hinder our access to oil and gas markets and delay our production. The availability of a ready market for our prospective oil and gas production depends on a number of factors, including the demand for and supply of oil and gas and the proximity of reserves to pipelines and other facilities. Our ability to market such production depends in substantial part on the availability and capacity of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities, in most cases owned and operated by third parties. Our failure to obtain such services on acceptable terms could materially harm our business. We may be required to shut in wells for lack of a market or a significant reduction in the price of oil or gas or because of inadequacy or unavailability of pipelines or gathering system capacity. If that occurs, we would be unable to realize revenue from those wells until arrangements are made to deliver such production to market.
32 |
Our future performance is dependent upon our ability to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas properties, the failure of which could result in under use of capital and losses.
Our future performance depends upon our ability to identify, acquire and develop additional oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable. Our success will depend upon our ability to acquire working and revenue interests in properties upon which oil and gas reserves are ultimately discovered in commercial quantities, and our ability to develop prospects that contain proven oil and gas reserves to the point of production. Without successful acquisition and exploration activities, we will not be able to develop additional oil and gas reserves or generate revenues. We cannot provide you with any assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire additional oil and gas reserves on acceptable terms, or that oil and gas deposits will be discovered in sufficient quantities to enable us to recover our exploration and development costs or sustain our business.
The successful acquisition and development of oil and gas properties requires an assessment of recoverable reserves, future oil and gas prices and operating costs, potential environmental and other liabilities, and other factors. Such assessments are necessarily inexact and their accuracy inherently uncertain. In addition, no assurance can be given that our exploration and development activities will result in the discovery of additional reserves. Our operations may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of lack of adequate capital and other factors, such as lack of availability of rigs and other equipment, title problems, weather, compliance with governmental regulations or price controls, mechanical difficulties, or unusual or unexpected formations, pressures and or work interruptions. In addition, the costs of exploitation and development may materially exceed our initial estimates.
We have a very small management team and the loss of any member of our team may prevent us from implementing our business plan in a timely manner.
We have three executive officers and a limited number of additional consultants upon whom our success largely depends. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on our executive officers or consultants, the loss of which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In such an event, we may not be able to recruit personnel to replace our executive officers or consultants in a timely manner, or at all, on acceptable terms.
Future growth could strain our personnel and infrastructure resources, and if we are unable to implement appropriate controls and procedures to manage our growth, we may not be able to successfully implement our business plan.
We may experience rapid growth in our operations, which will place a significant strain on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our future success will depend in part upon the ability of our management to manage growth effectively. This may require us to hire and train additional personnel to manage our expanding operations. In addition, we must continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. If we fail to successfully manage our growth, we may be unable to execute upon our business plan.
Market conditions or operation impediments may hinder our access to natural gas and oil markets or delay our production.
The marketability of production from our properties depends in part upon the availability, proximity and capacity of pipelines, natural gas gathering systems and processing facilities. This dependence is heightened where this infrastructure is less developed. Therefore, if drilling results are positive in certain areas of our oil and gas properties, a new gathering system would need to be built to handle the potential volume of gas produced. We might be required to shut in wells, at least temporarily, for lack of a market or because of the inadequacy or unavailability of transportation facilities. If that were to occur, we would be unable to realize revenue from those wells until arrangements were made to deliver production to market.
Our ability to produce and market natural gas and oil is affected and also may be harmed by:
● | the lack of pipeline transmission facilities or carrying capacity; | |
● | government regulation of natural gas and oil production; | |
● | government transportation, tax and energy policies; | |
● | changes in supply and demand; and | |
● | general economic conditions. |

the lack of pipeline transmission facilities or carrying capacity;
·
government regulation of natural gas and oil production;
·

·
changes in supply and demand; and
·
general economic conditions.
We might incur additional debt in order to fund our exploration and development activities, which would continue to reduce our financial flexibility and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
If we incur indebtedness, the ability to meet our debt obligations and reduce our level of indebtedness depends on future performance. General economic conditions, oil and gas prices and financial, business and other factors affect our operations and future performance. Many of these factors are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to pay the interest on our current or future debt or that future working capital, borrowings or equity financing will be available to pay or refinance such debt. Factors that will affect our ability to raise cash through an offering of our capital stock or a refinancing of our debt include financial market conditions, the value of our assets and performance at the time we need capital. We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient funds to make such payments. If we do not have sufficient funds and are otherwise unable to negotiate renewals of our borrowings or arrange new financing, we might have to sell significant assets. Any such sale could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Our properties and/or future properties might not produce, and we might not be able to determine reserve potential, identify liabilities associated with the properties or obtain protection from sellers against them, which could cause us to incur losses.
Although we have reviewed and evaluated our properties in a manner consistent with industry practices, such review and evaluation might not necessarily reveal all existing or potential problems. This is also true for any future acquisitions made by us. Inspections may not always be performed on every well, and environmental problems, such as groundwater contamination, are not necessarily observable even when an inspection is undertaken. Even when problems are identified, a seller may be unwilling or unable to provide effective contractual protection against all or part of those problems, and we may assume environmental and other risks and liabilities in connection with the acquired properties.
If we or our operators fail to maintain adequate insurance, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
Our operations are subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas industry, such as blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, fires, pollution, earthquakes and other environmental risks. These risks could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage, and suspension of operations. We could be liable for environmental damages caused by previous property owners. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Any prospective drilling contractor or operator which we hire will be required to maintain insurance of various types to cover our operations with policy limits and retention liability customary in the industry. We also have acquired our own insurance coverage for such prospects. The occurrence of a significant adverse event on such prospects that is not fully covered by insurance could result in the loss of all or part of our investment in a particular prospect which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive, and we may not have sufficient resources to compete effectively.
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. We compete with oil and natural gas companies and other individual producers and operators, many of which have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and other resources than we do, as well as companies in other industries supplying energy, fuel and other needs to consumers. Our larger competitors, by reason of their size and relative financial strength, can more easily access capital markets than we can and may enjoy a competitive advantage in the recruitment of qualified personnel. They may be able to absorb the burden of any changes in laws and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we do business and handle longer periods of reduced prices for oil and gas more easily than we can. Our competitors may be able to pay more for oil and gas leases and properties and may be able to define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of leases and properties than we can. Further, these companies may enjoy technological advantages and may be able to implement new technologies more rapidly than we can. Our ability to acquire additional properties in the future will depend upon our ability to conduct efficient operations, evaluate and select suitable properties, implement advanced technologies and consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment.

Complying with environmental and other government regulations could be costly and could negatively impact our production.
Our business is governed by numerous laws and regulations at various levels of government. These laws and regulations govern the operation and maintenance of our facilities, the discharge of materials into the environment and other environmental protection issues. Such laws and regulations may, among other potential consequences, require that we acquire permits before commencing drilling and restrict the substances that can be released into the environment with drilling and production activities.
Under these laws and regulations, we could be liable for personal injury, clean-up costs and other environmental and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Prior to commencement of drilling operations, we may secure limited insurance coverage for sudden and accidental environmental damages as well as environmental damage that occurs over time. However, we do not believe that insurance coverage for the full potential liability of environmental damages is available at a reasonable cost. Accordingly, we could be liable, or could be required to cease production on properties, if environmental damage occurs.
The costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations could result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Shortages of rigs, equipment, supplies and personnel could delay or otherwise adversely affect our cost of operations or our ability to operate according to our business plans.
If drilling activity increases in Alberta, Canada, Utah or Canadathe United States generally, a shortage of drilling and completion rigs, field equipment and qualified personnel could develop. The demand for and wage rates of qualified drilling rig crews generally rise in response to the increasing number of active rigs in service and could increase sharply in the event of a shortage. Shortages of drilling and completion rigs, field equipment or qualified personnel could delay, restrict or curtail our exploration and development operations, which could in turn harm our operating results.
We will be required to replace, maintain or expand our reserves in order to prevent our reserves and production from declining, which would adversely affect cash flows and income.
In general, production from natural gas and oil properties declines over time as reserves are depleted, with the rate of decline depending on reservoir characteristics. If we are not successful in our exploration and development activities, our proved reserves will decline as reserves are produced. Our future natural gas and oil production is highly dependent upon our ability to economically find, develop or acquire reserves in commercial quantities.
To the extent cash flow from operations is reduced, either by a decrease in prevailing prices for natural gas and oil, or an increase in exploration and development costs, and external sources of capital become limited or unavailable, our ability to make the necessary capital investment to maintain or expand our asset base of natural gas and oil reserves would be impaired. Even with sufficient available capital, our future exploration and development activities may not result in additional proved reserves, and we might not be able to drill productive wells at acceptable costs.

The oil and gas exploration and production industry historically is a cyclical industry and market fluctuations in the prices of oil and gas could adversely affect our business.
Prices for oil and gas tend to fluctuate significantly in response to factors beyond our control. These factors include:
● | weather conditions; | |
● | economic conditions, including demand for petroleum-based products; | |
● | actions by OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries; | |
● | political instability in the Middle East and other major oil and gas producing regions; | |
● | governmental regulations, both domestic and foreign; | |
● | domestic and foreign tax policy; | |
● | the pace adopted by foreign governments for the exploration, development, and production of their national reserves; | |
● | the price of foreign imports of oil and gas; | |
● | the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and gas; | |
● | the discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves; | |
● | the rate of decline of existing and new oil and gas reserves; | |
● | available pipeline and other oil and gas transportation capacity; | |
● | the ability of oil and gas companies to raise capital; | |
● | the overall supply and demand for oil and gas; and | |
● | the availability of alternate fuel sources. |

Changes in commodity prices may significantly affect our capital resources, liquidity and expected operating results. Price changes will directly affect revenues and can indirectly impact expected production by changing the amount of funds available to reinvest in exploration and development activities. Reductions in oil and gas prices not only reduce revenues and profits, but could also reduce the quantities of reserves that are commercially recoverable. Significant declines in prices could result in non-cash charges to earnings due to impairment.
Changes in commodity prices may also significantly affect our ability to estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and divestiture and often cause disruption in the market for oil and gas producing properties, as buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on the value of the properties. Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions and the exploration and development of projects. We expect that commodity prices will continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.
Our ability to produce oil and gas from our properties may be adversely affected by a number of factors outside of our control which may result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The business of exploring for and producing oil and gas involves a substantial risk of investment loss. Drilling oil and gas wells involves the risk that the wells may be unproductive or that, although productive, the wells may not produce oil or gas in economic quantities. Other hazards, such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, pressures, fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids or other conditions may substantially delay or prevent completion of any well. Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic if water or other deleterious substances are encountered that impair or prevent the production of oil or gas from the well. In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances. There can be no assurance that oil and gas will be produced from the properties in which we have interests. In addition, the marketability of oil and gas that may be acquired or discovered may be influenced by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas, gathering systems, pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations in oil and gas prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection. We cannot predict how these factors may affect our business.
We may be unable to retain our leases and working interests in our leases, which would result in significant financial losses to our company.
Our properties are held under oil and gas leases. If we fail to meet the specific requirements of each lease, such lease may terminate or expire. We cannot assure you that any of the obligations required to maintain each lease will be met. The termination or expiration of our leases may harm our business. Our property interests will terminate unless we fulfill certain obligations under the terms of our leases and other agreements related to such properties. If we are unable to satisfy these conditions on a timely basis, we may lose our rights in these properties. The termination of our interests in these properties may harm our business. In addition, we will need significant funds to meet capital requirements for the exploration activities that we intend to conduct on our properties.
Our Godin project is complex undertakings and may not be completed at our estimated cost or at all.
We, through our wholly owned subsidiary Colony Energy, LLC, holds a 100% interest in and to certain petroleum, natural gas and general rights, including Alberta Crown Petroleum and Oil Leases, in 20 contiguous sections totaling 12,960 acres located in the Godin area of northern Alberta. The Godin project is complex, subject to extensive governmental regulation and will require significant additional financing. There can be no assurance that the necessary governmental approvals will be granted or that such financing could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or that if one or more of these projects are completed that they will be successful or that we realize a return on our investment.
Risks RelatingRelated to Our Common Stock
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our ability to continue operations.
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because a significant portion of our operations have been and will be financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our operations. Such reductions may force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may have a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new properties and continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we can offer no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital in the future, we may not be able to have the resources to continue our normal operations.
The market price for our common stock may also be affected by our ability to meet or exceed expectations of analysts or investors. Any failure to meet these expectations, even if minor, may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result in the dilution of our existing shareholders.
Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of up to 750,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares will result in a reduction of the book value and market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuance will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all current shareholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our corporation.
Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities Exchange Commission’s penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Our common stock is illiquid and the price of our common stock may be negatively impacted by factors which are unrelated to our operations.
Our common stock currently trades on a limited basis on OTCQB operated by the OTC Markets Group.Group and TSX Venture Exchange. Trading of our stock through OTCQB and TSX Venture Exchange is frequently thin and highly volatile. There is no assurance that a sufficient market will develop in our stock, in which case it could be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of our competitors, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.

We issued these shares to one accredited investor (as that term is defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933) relying on Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
On August 17, 2017, but effective as of March 1, 2017, our wholly-owned subsidiary Black Dragon Energy, LLC (“Black Dragon”) entered into a First Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “BD Amendment”), which amended the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated effective March 1, 2017 (the “BD PSA”) between WEM Dragon, LLC and Black Dragon. The BD Amendment has the effect of postponing certain payments relating to the Moenkopi Formation under the BD PSA until December 31, 2018 while providing for the flexibility of earlier payments in the discretion of Black Dragon. In consideration for the postponement of such payments, Black Dragon has agreed to certain additional interim payments and stock consideration. Pursuant to the BD Amendment, we issued 250,000 shares of our common stock to WEM Dragon, LLC on September 1, 2017. We issued these shares to one accredited investor (as that term is defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933) relying on Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
