In this connection, we may seek offers from other industry operators and other third parties for interests in the acreageProperties in exchange for cash and a carried interest in connection with exploration and development operations, or we may enter into other strategic partnership. On October 13, 2014 we announced that we had entered into a Letter of Intent with Granada Exploration, LLC (“Granada”), which has agreed to join with us to explore for potential hydrocarbons on the Concessions. The parties are negotiating definitive agreements and Granada is conducting its due diligence.

Corporate History

Infinity was incorporated as a Colorado corporation in April 1987 and reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in September 2005. From January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2004, we produced natural gas and oil and grew our production through exploration and development drilling exclusively in the Rocky Mountain region. Beginning in 2005, our primary exploration focus shifted to the Fort Worth Basin in north central Texas. During 2005, 2006 and 2007, we completed the drilling of a number of gas wells in the Fort Worth Basin. On December 15, 2006, we sold our oilfield services subsidiaries, Consolidated Oil Well Services, Inc. and CIS-Oklahoma, Inc., to Q Consolidated Oil Well Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

On January 7, 2008, Infinity-Wyoming completed the sale of essentially all of its producing oil and gas properties in Colorado and Wyoming, along with its working interests in undeveloped leaseholds in Routt County, Colorado and Sweetwater County, Wyoming to Forest Oil Corporation, a New York corporation. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we scaled down the operations of Infinity-Texas. During the year ended December 31, 2008 we determined that properties of Infinity-Texas and Infinity-Wyoming were uneconomical to operate and as such, we wrote their remaining values down to zero. In December 2011, we sold the properties of Infinity-Texas and in July 2012 we sold its stock to a third party. Infinity-Wyoming was administratively dissolved on March 14, 2009. We are now focused solely on the development of our Nicaraguan Concessions.

This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements, estimates and projections that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of specific factors, including the risks described below and in the documents incorporated by reference herein.

You should carefully consider the following risk factors in evaluating our business and us. The factors listed below represent certain important factors that we believe could cause our business results to differ. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the general or specific risks that may affect us. It should be recognized that other risks may be significant, presently or in the future, and the risks set forth below may affect us to a greater extent than indicated. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Related to Our Business

Joint Venture Agreement”. We have a history of losses and are experiencing substantial liquidity problems.

We incurred a net loss in our fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 of approximately $2.4 and $3.7 million, respectively. Further, we incurred net losses of $301,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. In addition, we are currently experiencing substantial liquidity problems.

If we are able to address our immediate liquidity problems, our history of losses may impair our ability to obtain financing for maintenance, exploration and development of our Nicaraguan Concessions on favorable terms or at all. It may also impair our ability to attract investors if we attempt to raise additional capital, to grow our business or for other business purposes, by selling additional debt or equity securities in a private or public offering. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be unable to maintain and develop our Nicaraguan Concessions.

3

We expect to continue to generate operating losses and experience negative cash flow and it is uncertain whether we will achieve future profitability; investors may lose all of their investment in us.

We expect to continue to incur operating losses until such time, if ever, as we are able to achieve sufficient levels of revenue from operations. There can be no assurance that we will ever generate revenue or achieve profitability. Accordingly, the extent of future losses and the time required to achieve profitability, if ever, cannot be predicted at this point.

Investment in us involves a high degree of risk. Investors may never recoup all or part of or realize any return on their investment. Investors should not invest in the shares of common stock unless they can afford to lose their entire investment.

We are continuing to negotiate with our creditors and may face additional claims in the future.

We continue to have substantial liabilitiesrestructured certain obligations under which we are currently unable to pay. We continue to negotiate with our creditors to mitigate and settle our known liabilities to them or their claims of liabilities andwere in some cases, to secure releases of liens which have been filed on certain of our properties. Various suits have been filed to enforce payments of liabilities and we are working to address these suits. We may incur additional liabilities if our liquidity situation deteriorates further and may face additional claims from creditors seeking to protect their interests in light of our announcements regarding our financial condition and business plans. We are not able to predict our success in attempting to negotiate with these parties nor the expense related to such negotiations or in defending any litigation related to these claims. These creditors may take action to force us into bankruptcy involuntarily. In addition, if we are unable to manage our current liabilities or substantial additional claims are asserted against us, we may be forced to seek protection under the Bankruptcy Code. We require proceeds of this offering to help manage our current liabilities and negotiate with our creditors.

Compliance with the Requirements of the Nicaraguan Concessions.

We are not in compliance with certain requirements of the Nicaraguan Concessions. We are required to perform certain new 3-D seismic mapping prior to April 2016, with a cost of approximately $2,500,000. In addition, we are required to post letters of credit covering the sums of $1,356,227 for the Perlas Concession and $1,818,667 for the Tyra Concession, and have not done so. We are negotiating the renewal amount and/or waving the required letters of credit with the Nicaraguan Government, however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in that regard. Further, we plan to seek a waiver of the 3-D seismic requirement with the Nicaraguan government because we do not believe the 3-D mapping will be effective and provide us with substantially new information because of the shallow water depths contained on our Nicaraguan Concessions.

Inability to conduct seismic mapping and efficacy of 3-D Seismic Mapping.

We cannot predict what portions of the Nicaraguan Concessions will be available for 3-D seismic mapping activities due to the water depths and other factors. Mapping with 3-D seismic generally provides a better perspective on the possible hydrocarbons present than a 2-D seismic mapping does. To the extent we do not have the resources to conduct 3-D seismic mapping on a substantial portion of the Nicaraguan Concessions or 3-D mapping is not effective given the location of the Concessions, our knowledge of the size of the potential hydrocarbon reservoir will be diminished. As a result, this could have a material adverse impact on our ability to attract joint venture or other parties to assist us in the exploration and development of the Nicaraguan Concessions.

Our Nicaraguan Concessions and planned future exploration activities are in a country with a developing economy and are subject to the risks of political and economic instability associated with such economies.

Nicaragua has from time to time experienced economic or political instability. We may be materially adversely affected by risks associated with conducting operations in countries with developing economies, including: political instability and violence; war and civil disturbance; acts of terrorism; expropriation or nationalization; changing fiscal regimes; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; high rates of inflation; underdeveloped industrial and economic infrastructure; unenforceability of contractual rights; and adherence to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act by our contractors and/or representatives.

We cannot accurately predict the effect of these factors on our Concessions. In addition, legislation in the United States regulating foreign trade, investment and taxation could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

4

Exploration and development of our Nicaraguan Concessions will require large amounts ofcapital that we may not be able to obtain.

We expect that our primary exploration and development activities in Nicaragua will take place only upon us finding a financial or industry partner. In order to undertake such activities, we will need to obtain large amounts of additional capital, subjecting existing shareholders to potential significant dilution. The terms under which such capital may be available, if at all, may not be acceptable or favorable to us. Our potential sources of financing for these activities in the longer term would include cash availability under credit facilities, if any, and future sales of equity securities or subordinated debt securities, as well as joint ventures or partnerships with third parties, which would dilute our interest in the Nicaraguan Concessions.

We have recently closed a private placement in May 2015 with the selling stockholder that could provide funding for the drilling of wells in the Concessions. We may require the selling stockholder to prepay the Investor Note, as defined in this prospectus, by delivering a mandatory prepayment notice to the selling stockholder, subject to (i) the satisfaction of certain equity conditions, (ii) our receipt of all governmental authorizations, as defined in the private placement documents necessary to commence drilling on at least five properties within the Nicaraguan Concessions, and (iii) our obtaining forbearance agreements from certain third parties to whom we owe obligations. There can be no assurance that the selling stockholder will voluntarily convert the Convertible Note, which would trigger a payment of the Investor Note in the amount of the conversion to us, or that we will be able to meet the requirements for a mandatory conversion of the Convertible Note, which would also cause a payment of the Investor Note in the applicable amount to us.

Future cash flows and the availability of financing are subject to a number of variables, such as:

our success in locating and producing new reserves;
prices of crude oil and natural gas;
the level of production from existing wells; and
amounts of necessary working capital and expenses.

Issuing equity securities to satisfy our financing or refinancing requirements could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders. Debt financing could lead to:

all or a substantial portion of our operating cash flow, if any, being dedicated to the payment of principal and interest;
an increase in interest expense as the amount of debt outstanding increases or as variable interest rates increase;
increased vulnerability to competitive pressures and economic downturns; and
restrictions on our operations that may be contained in any contract entered into with lenders.

In order to obtain capital, we could enter into a joint venture or partnership with another oil and gas company or companies in which we would maintain a carried or reduced working interest in the Nicaraguan Concessions.default during 2020. However, this would reduce our ownership and control over the projects and could significantly reduce our future revenue generated from oil and gas production. If we failed to raise sufficient capital on a timely basis, we will lose our rights to the Nicaraguan Concessions.

5

Our future production is contingent on successful exploration and development of our Nicaraguan Concessions.

Our future natural gas and oil production is highly dependent on our level of success in finding oil and gas on our Nicaraguan Concessions. The business of exploring for and developing reserves is capital intensive. Exploration will require significant additional capital expenditures and successful drilling operations. In our current financial situation, we are unable to engage in significant exploration or development efforts unless we receive payments on the Investor Note or through other means and if we are unable to address our liquidity problems and make the necessary capital investment our future

We will be subject to regulations affecting our activities with the Nicaraguan Concessions

If we commence operations in Nicaragua, we will be subject to legal and regulatory oversight by its energy-related agencies, such as the Nicaraguan Energy Institute (“NEI”), with respect to its energy or hydrocarbons laws. In such case, from time to time, in varying degrees, political developments and federal and state laws and regulations affect our operations in Nicaragua. In particular, price controls, taxes and other laws relating to the crude oil and natural gas industry, changes in these laws and changes in administrative regulations have affected and in the future could affect crude oil and natural gas production, operations and economics. We cannot predict how Nicaraguan agencies or courts will interpret existing laws and regulations or the effect these adoptions and interpretations may have on our business or financial condition at that point.

Our business will also be subject to laws and regulations promulgated by federal and local authorities, including the Ministry of Energy and Mines, relating to the exploration for, and the development, production and marketing of, crude oil and natural gas, as well as safety matters. Legal requirements may be frequently changed and subject to interpretation and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on our future operations in Nicaragua. In such event, we may be required to make significant expenditures to comply with governmental laws and regulations.

Further, future operations in Nicaragua will be subject to complex federal and local environmental laws and regulations. The discharge of natural gas, crude oil, or other pollutants into the air, soil or water may give rise to significant liabilities on our part to government agencies and third parties and may require us to incur substantial costs of remediation. In addition, in the future we may incur costs and penalties in addressing regulatory agency procedures involving instances of possible non-compliance.

Our operations may be adversely affected by changes in the fiscal regime of Nicaragua.

The fiscal regime in Nicaragua will impact us through laws and regulations governing royalties, taxes or level of government participation in oil and gas projects. Fiscal regimes may change over time. A change in the fiscal regime of Nicaragua may result in an increase or decrease in the amount of government take, and a corresponding decrease or increase in the revenues of an oil and gas company operating in the country.

A number of governments are experiencing fiscal problems triggered by the lingering effects of the global financial crisis, associated recession and current slower economic growth rates. Higher unemployment and slower growth rates, coupled with a reduced tax base, have resulted in reduced government revenues, while government expenditures have increased due to the need for public entitlement or economic stimulus programs. Many countries have incurred budget deficits or even approached insolvency and there has been social unrest in many regions.

Due to pressures from local constituents as well as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) to address these negative fiscal situations and initiate deficit reduction measures, many governments are seeking additional revenue sources, including increases in government take from oil and gas projects.

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive.

We operate in the highly competitive areas of oil and natural gas acquisition, exploration, development and production with many other companies. We face intense competition from a large number of independent companies as well as major oil and natural gas companies in a number of areas such as:

acquisition of desirable producing properties or new leases for future exploration;
marketing our oil and natural gas production; and
arranging for growth capital on attractive terms.

6

We depend on key personnel.

Our success will be largely dependent upon the efforts of our executive officers, Stanton E. Ross and Daniel F. Hutchins. We do not have employment agreements with Messrs. Ross or Hutchins. The loss of the services of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of such individuals in the future. We have not obtained key-man life insurance policies on these individuals. We are also dependent to a substantial degree on our outsourced experienced consulting and technical staff. Loss of the services of any of these people could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Our success will be dependent upon our ability to hire and retain additional qualified personnel as we may require. In particular, our exploratory drilling success and the success of other activities integral to our operations will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain experienced engineers and other professionals. Competition for experienced engineers and some other professionals is extremely intense. If we cannot retain our technical personnel or attract additional experienced technical personnel, our ability to compete could be harmed. We will compete with other companies with greater financial and other resources for such personnel. Although we have not experienced difficulty in attracting qualified personnel to date, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our present personnelobtain such funding, extensions or acquire additional qualified personnel as and when needed.

We have received a going concern opinion from our auditors.

We have an accumulated deficit and have had negative cash flows from our operations. Accordingly, we have received a report from our independent auditors in connection with our audited financial statements that include an explanatory paragraph describing their substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This may negatively impact our ability to obtain additional fundingrestructurings or funding on terms attractive to us.

Loss on dissolution or liquidation.

In the event of our dissolution or liquidation, the proceeds realized from the liquidation of assets, if any, will be distributed to the holder of the Convertible Note and other creditors before any distributions are made to stockholders in accordance with applicable state law and our Articles of Incorporation, as then in effect. Given our current financial condition, it is unlikely that our stockholder will participate in the proceeds from such dissolution or liquidation, if any.

We are a party to several lawsuits as a defendant in which we may ultimately not prevail resulting in losses and may cause our stock price to decline.

We are involved as a defendant in routine litigation and administrative proceedings incidental to our business from time to time. See “Litigation.” Due to lack of funds, we have not been able to defend adequately in certain of these matters. Accordingly, the outcome of any pending cases and proceedings may have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

Our common stock is traded on the OTCQB.

Our common stock is traded on the OTCQB, which may negatively impact shareholder value, access to capital markets and the liquidity of our common stock.

We have to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock, which, if issued, could dilute the ownership of the current holders of our common stock; our preferred stock, if issued, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of our common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. While the Convertible Note, if converted and the Warrants, if exercised, would cause us to issue an additional 44,400,000 shares, they both contain provisions under which we would be required to issue additional shares if we sell common stock, or agree to sell common stock, at a price less than $0.50 per share. We are required by the May 2015 Private Placement to reserve 88,800,000 shares for the conversion of the Convertible Notes and exercise of the Warrants, which number is 200% of the actual number of shares issuable as of the closing of the May 2015 Private Placement. Given our current capitalization and future needs, we have determined to seek approval from our shareholders to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock to 250,000,000. The common stock and preferred stock can be issued by our board of directors, without stockholder approval. Any future issuances of our common stock or preferred stock could further dilute the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Our preferred stock is a blank check in that our board of directors can set the terms and conditions of the preferred stock without any stockholder approval. Such terms and conditions could be disadvantageous to the holders of our common stock.what terms.

Indemnification of officers and directors.

While the members of our Board of Directors and our officers are generally accountable to us and our stockholders, the liability of our directors and officers to us, our stockholders and third parties is limited in certain respects under applicable state law and our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as in effect in the date hereof. Further, we have agreed or may agree to indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities not attributable to certain limited circumstances. Such limitation of liability and indemnity may limit rights which our stockholders would otherwise have to seek redress against our directors and officers.

The possible issuance of options and warrants may dilute the interest of stockholders.

We have granted options to purchase a total of 4,174,500 shares of our common stock under our stock option and restricted stock plans and common stock purchase warrants for 3,887,710 shares, which were outstanding and unexercised as of March 31, 2015. In addition, we issued the Warrants to the selling stockholders exercisable to purchase 20,400,000 shares. To the extent that outstanding stock options and Warrants are exercised, dilution to the interests of our stockholders may occur. Moreover, the terms upon which we will be able to obtain additional equity capital may be adversely affected since the holders of the outstanding options can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more favorable to us than those provided in such outstanding options.

Our credit facilities.

If we fail to pay the principal and interest on the Convertible Note or otherwise default in our obligations under the Convertible Note, security or related documents, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition. Additionally, there can be no assurance that we will meet the requirements of the selling stockholder to cause payment of the Investor Note or that the selling stockholder will voluntarily prepay the Investor Note, either of which events would provide us with funding.

We borrowed $1,050,000 under a subordinated promissory note in December 2013. The subordinated promissory note, including accrued interest thereon, is due and payable April 2016. We have no revolving credit facility to fund our operating needs should it become necessary. It will be difficult to obtain an institutional line of credit facility given our recent operating losses, the current banking environment and the existence of the Convertible Note, which may adversely affect our ability to finance our business, grow or be profitable. Further, even if we could obtain a new credit facility, in all likelihood would may not be on terms favorable to us.

Coalitions of a few of our larger stockholders have sufficient voting power to make corporate governance decisions that could have significant effect on us and the other stockholders.

Our officers, directors and principal stockholders (greater than five percent stockholders) together control approximately 12.6%, including options vested or to vest within sixty days, of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, if they act together, will be able to exert a significant degree of influence over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in our control and might affect the market price of our common stock, even when a change in control may be in the best interest of all stockholders. Furthermore, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders. Accordingly, these stockholders could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider.

8

We have never paid dividends and have no plans to in the future.

Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. To date, we have paid no cash dividends on our shares of common stock and we do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for operation of our business. Therefore, any return investors in our common stock will have to be in the form of appreciation, if any, in the market value of their shares of common stock. See “Dividend Policy.”

Our stock price is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a limited public float.

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile because there has been a relatively thin trading market for our stock, which causes trades of small blocks of stock to have a significant impact on our stock price. You may not be able to resell shares of our common stock following periods of volatility because of the market’s adverse reaction to volatility.

Other factors that could cause such volatility may include, among other things:

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
the potential absence of securities analysts covering us and distributing research and recommendations about us;
we expect our actual operating results to fluctuate widely as we increase our sales and production capabilities and other operations;
we may have a low trading volume for a number of reasons, including that a large amount of our stock is closely held;
overall stock market fluctuations;
economic conditions generally and in the law enforcement and security industries in particular;
announcements concerning our business or those of our competitors or customers;
our ability to raise capital when we require it, and to raise such capital on favorable terms;
we have $12.0 million due under the Convertible Note that matures in May 2018; $1,050,000 due under a subordinated note due May 2016 and $61,275 due under a unsecured revolving line of credit with an individual related party lender that matures in August 2015;
we have no institutional line-of-credit available to fund our operations and we may be unable to obtain a line of credit under terms that are mutually agreeable;
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform as anticipated by the analysts;
conditions or trends in the industry;
litigation;
changes in market valuations of other similar companies;
announcements by us or our competitors of new products or of significant technical innovations, contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures;
future sales of common stock;
actions initiated by the SEC or other regulatory bodies;
departure of key personnel or failure to hire key personnel; and
general market conditions.

Any of these factors could have a significant and adverse impact on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general has at times experienced extreme volatility and rapid decline that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

Indemnification of officers and directors.

Our articles of incorporation and the bylaws contain broad indemnification and liability limiting provisions regarding our officers, directors and employees, including the limitation of liability for certain violations of fiduciary duties. Our stockholders therefore will have only limited recourse against such individuals.

The market for our common stock is limited and may not provide adequate liquidity.

Our common stock has been thinly traded on the OTCQB. From January 1, 2015 to June 19, 2015, the daily trading volume in our common stock ranged from zero shares of common stock to a high of 254,200 shares of common stock. On most days, this trading volume meant there was limited liquidity in our shares of common stock. Selling our shares during this period was more difficult because smaller quantities of shares were bought and sold and news media coverage about us was limited. These factors resulted in a limited trading market for our common stock and therefore holders of our stock may have been unable to sell shares purchased, if they desired to do so.

If securities or industry analyst do not publish research reports about our business, or if they downgrade our stock, the price of our common stock could decline.

Small, relatively unknown companies can achieve visibility in the trading market through research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish. To our knowledge there are no independent analysts who cover us. The lack of published reports by independent securities analysts could limit the interest in our common stock and negatively affect our stock price. Even if we did have such coverage, we would not have any control over the research and reports any analysts might publish. If any analyst who did cover us downgrades our stock, our stock price could decline. If any analyst who had been covering us ceases coverage of us or failed to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

Future sales of our common stock may depress our stock price.

We can make no prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of our common stock, or the availability of our common stock for future sales, will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales in the public market of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock. The potential effect of these shares being sold may be to depress the price at which our common stock trades.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The selling stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered by this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling stockholders, although we may receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants by the selling stockholders, if exercised. We cannot guarantee that the selling stockholders will exercise the Warrants. Any proceeds we receive from the selling stockholders upon their exercise of the Warrants will be used for general working capital.

The selling stockholders named in this prospectus will pay any underwriting fees, discounts and commissions, along with certain of the selling stockholders’ out-of-pocket expenses, incurred in connection with their sale of shares registered under this prospectus. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred by us, or by the selling stockholders, in effecting the registration, offer and sale of the shares covered by this prospectus, to the extent not paid by the selling stockholders.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note and upon exercise of the Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of the Convertible Note and Warrants, see “Description of Securities—May 2015 Private Placement of Convertible Note and Warrants.” We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the Convertible Note and the Warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us or our affiliates within the past three years.

We prepared the table based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholders. We have not sought to verify such information. The percentages of shares beneficially owned and being offered are based on 26,866,938 shares of common stock that were outstanding as of June 19, 2015, unless otherwise stated in the footnotes to the table below. Information about the selling stockholders may also change over time.

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders, based on their respective ownership of the Convertible Note and Warrants, as of June 10, 2015, as the case may be, assuming conversion of the Convertible Note and exercise of the Warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversion, amortization, redemption or exercise.

The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.

In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of at least 130% of the sum of (i) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Convertible Note as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the registration statement is initially filed with the SEC, and (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the related Warrants as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the registration statement is initially filed with the SEC, all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration rights agreement and in each case without regard to any limitations on conversion, amortization and/or redemption of the Convertible Note or exercise of the Warrants. Because the conversion price of the Convertible Note and the exercise price of the Warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

Under the terms of the Convertible Note and the Warrants, the selling stockholders may not convert the Convertible Note or exercise the Warrants, as the case may be, to the extent such conversion or exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such conversion or exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note which have not been converted and upon exercise of the Warrants that have not been exercised (the “Beneficial Ownership Blocker”). The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
in the over-the-counter market;
in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

If a selling stockholder effects such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, a selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. A selling stockholder may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. A selling stockholder may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

A selling stockholder may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the convertible notes, warrants or shares of common stock owned by it and, if we default in the performance of our secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as a selling stockholder under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

A selling stockholder and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholder and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

A selling stockholder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholder and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $30,000 in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. is an independent energy company that is pursuing an oil and gas exploration opportunity offshore of Nicaragua in the Caribbean Sea. On March 5, 2009, the Nicaraguan government granted us the Concessions to explore approximately1.4 million acres offshore Nicaragua. Since such point we have focused our efforts on these Concessions. Previously we were engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural gas and oil properties in the United States. We ceased all domestic oil and gas exploration and production in the United States by December 2009

Nicaragua

 

We began pursuing an oil and gas exploration opportunity offshore Nicaragua in the Caribbean Sea in 1999. Since such time, we built relationships with the Instituto Nicaraguense de Energia (“INE”) and undertook the geological and geophysical research that helped us to become one of only six companies qualified to bid on offshore blocks in the first international bidding round held by INE in January 2003.

 

On March 5, 2009, we signed certain contracts pursuant to which we acquired the contracts granting us the Perlas and Tyra concession blocks offshore Nicaragua (the “Nicaraguan Concessions” or “Concessions”). Since ourConcessions. After such acquisition, of the Nicaraguan Concessions, we have conducted an environmental study and developed geological information from the reprocessing and additional evaluation of existing 2-D seismic data acquired over our Perlas and Tyra concession blocks.of the Concessions. In April 2013, the Nicaraguan government formally approved our Environmental Impact Assessment,environmental impact assessment, at which time we had commenced significant activity under thean initial work plan involving the acquisition of new seismic data on the two Nicaraguan Concessions. We undertook seismic shoots during late 2013 that resulted in the acquisition of new 2-D and 3-D seismic data and are reviewinghad reviewed it in order to select our initial drilling sites for exploratory wells.

 

Business StrategyWe were in default of various provisions of the Concessions agreements for several years and the Nicaraguan Government subsequently terminated the Concessions agreements. We had been seeking a resolution of these defaults, including the ability to renew and/or renegotiate the terms of the Concessions contracts, with the Nicaraguan government to permit us to cure such defaults. However, the Nicaraguan political climate and domestic issues, as well other factors, caused the Company to abandon such efforts and the Concessions in 2020. As a result, as of the date of this prospectus, the Concessions agreements remain terminated and the Company has abandoned all of its efforts to renew and/or renegotiate the terms of the Concessions agreements with the Nicaraguan government to cure such defaults.

 

Our principal objective is to create stockholder value through the development of our Nicaraguan Concessions. We have commenced significant activity under the initial work plan and received formal governmental approval of the environmental study in 2013. We have used previously existing reprocessed 2-D seismic data to identify or evaluate the prospects. We had additional 2-D and 3-D seismic mapping done on the Concessions to provide additional data. We are reviewing the data in order to evaluate the potential oil and gas producing structures and select our initial drilling sites for exploratory wells, given sufficient capital and necessary Nicaraguan government approvals.

We intend to finance our business strategy through external financing, which may include debt and equity capital raised in public and private offerings, joint ventures, sale of working or other interests, employment of working capital and cash flow from operations, if any. To this end we completed the May 2015 Private Placement. We plan to seek joint venture or working interest partners prior to the commencement of any exploratory drilling operations on the Nicaraguan Concessions. In this connection, we may seek offers from other industry operators for interests in the acreage in exchange for cash and a carried interest in exploration and development operations or other strategic partnership.

Risk Factors Summary

Our consultants, Brazilian-based Consultoria em Geologia Geofísica e Informática do Petróleo LTDA (“CGGIP”) and its senior geological consultant, Luciano Seixas Chagas, working in concert with Thompson & Knight Global Energy Services LLC, are building a credible model suggesting that the Eocene geologic zone alone has a potential that hydrocarbons could be present, based upon certain assumptions involving porosity, saturation, recovery and other parameters. This model is also subject to the complex geology of the region and the fact that the reef system has never been drilled. The model is based upon preliminary conclusions andbusiness is subject to further analysisnumerous risks and uncertainties, including those in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

In addition, the model supportseffects of COVID-19 and concerns regarding its global spread have negatively impacted the domestic and international demand for crude oil and natural gas, which has contributed to price volatility and will impact the value of our long-held belief thatworking interests and other oil and gas assets, affect the Nicaraguan Concessionsability of our vendors, suppliers and customers to continue operations, affect our operations and ultimately adversely impact our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. A prolonged period of low market prices for oil and natural gas, or further declines in the market prices for oil and natural gas, will likely result in capital expenditures being further curtailed and will adversely affect our business, financial condition and liquidity and our ability to meet obligations, targets or financial commitments and could ultimately lead to restructuring or filing for bankruptcy, which would have a material adverse effect on our stock price and our ability to fulfill our obligations under any existing indebtedness. Additionally, lower oil and natural gas prices have, and may in the future, cause, a decline in our stock price. As the potential for oil discoveries, although we can offer no assurances in this regard.

In April 2011, we filed withimpact from COVID-19 is difficult to predict, the Nicaraguan government an Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) covering proposed seismic activitiesextent to which it will negatively affect out operating results, or the duration of any potential business disruption is uncertain. The magnitude and duration of any impact will depend on future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the severity and duration of COVID-19 and the actions taken by authorities to contain it or treat its impact, including the efficiency of recent vaccines, the ability of governments to roll such vaccines out to the general public, and the willingness of individuals to obtain such vaccines, all of which are beyond our control. These potential impacts, while uncertain, have already negatively affected our results of operations, and are anticipated to have a negative impact on our Nicaraguan Concessions. The filingfuture results as well.

We have a history of losses and expect to continue to generate operating losses and experience negative cash flow and it is uncertain whether we will achieve future profitability, and as a result, investors may lose all of their investment if they purchase shares of Common Stock.

We have had a history of losses and have generated little or no operating revenues for a number of years, as we concentrated on development of the EIAConcessions, which was followed by a comment period during which there was interaction between uslong-term, high-risk and high-reward exploration project. We abandoned the Ministerio del Ambiente y los Recursos Naturales de Nicaragua, an agency of the Nicaraguan government; and the autonomous regions of Nicaragua that are nearestConcessions development project in early 2020 due to the Nicaraguan Concessions. In April 2013challenging economic and political issues in Nicaragua and the EIA was formally approved by the Nicaraguan government and we were cleared to commence 2-D and 3-D seismic mapping activities in the area. In late 2013 and early 2014 CGG Services (US) Inc. – NASA, a fully integrated Geoscience company that provides geological, geophysical and reservoir services to the global oil and gas industry conducted 2-D and 3-D seismic data covering selected areas within the boundariesin general. We have incurred losses in many of the Nicaraguan Concessions. In March 2014 we opened a seismic data room at CGG’s Houston headquarters in order for potential strategic and/or financial partners to view the fully processed resultsyears since our inception and had an accumulated deficit of the seismic survey activities conducted by CGG.

The final approval of the EIA by the Nicaraguan government of our environmental impact study onApril 13, 2013, beganSub-Period 2 as defined in the Nicaraguan Concessions. Therefore, we are now in Sub-Period 3 of the exploration phase of the 30-year Concession for both Perlas and Tyraapproximately $117,178,645 as of December 31, 2014. In accordance with the Concession agreements, we are required to provide the Ministry2020, which includes net income of Energy with letters of credit in the amounts of $1,356,227 for Perlas and $1,818,667 for Tyra, but have not done so.

As of March 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $117,290,208, which includes a net loss of $203,624 for the 2015/2016 period inthree months ended March 201631, 2021, as compared to an accumulated deficit of approximately $155,000. Further, we are required to conduct 3-D seismic mapping on$117,178,645 as of March 31, 2020, which includes a net loss of $84,765 for the Perlas Concession in Sub-Period 3 prior to April 2016, which we estimate will cost approximately$2,500,000. Finally, we estimate we will need approximately $100,000 to prepare and submit an environmental supplement to the Nicaraguan government to identify and receive authorization to drill up to five wells in the Concessions.three months ended March 31, 2020.

As a result, we may not be able to submit to the EIA in order to obtain the necessary authorizations to drill up to five locationsachieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows provided by our operating activities in the Concessions.future.

We expect to continue to incur operating losses until such time, if ever, as we are able to achieve sufficient levels of revenue from operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful anyever generate revenue or achieve profitability. Accordingly, the extent of the foregoing regards. Except for the foregoing items, we believe we are in full compliance with the terms of the Nicaraguan Concessions agreements.

Exploration expenditures in connection with our Nicaraguan Concessions in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 of $115,622 and $6,051,411, respectively. Exploration costs during the year ended December 31, 2013 included $5,937,013 of costs incurred for the acquisition of new 2-D and 3-D seismic data on the Nicaragua Concessions.

Until April 13, 2014 when we received our initial environmental approval from the Nicaraguan government, we were in the environmental phase of Sub-Period 1 for both Perlas and Tyrafuture losses and the operational phase of Sub-Period 1 was suspended for both Concessions. Upon issuance of the environmental permit, the suspension was lifted and the operational phase for each Concession commenced. Thus, we have until July 11, 2016 and April 11, 2016time required to meet the requirements of Sub-Period 3 for the Tyra and Perlas Concessions, respectively. Additionally, we have until July 11, 2018 and April 11, 2018 to comply with the requirements of Sub-Period 4 of the Tyra and Perlas Concessions, respectively.achieve profitability, if ever, cannot be predicted at this point.

 

CompetitionDevelopment and operation of the Properties will require large amounts of capital that we may not be able to obtain.

 

We competepurchased the Properties on April 1, 2021 through the issuance of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the March Warrants, which raised approximately $2.05 million. We have commenced operations on the Properties and intend to continue development within 12 months following purchase of the Properties, subject to, among other things, additional and timely capital funding. In order to undertake such activities, we will need to obtain large amounts of additional capital, potentially subjecting our existing shareholders to potential significant dilution. The terms of such capital that may be available may not be acceptable or favorable to us. Our potential sources of financing for these activities in virtually all facetsthe longer term would include cash availability under credit facilities, future sales of equity securities or subordinated debt securities, as well as joint ventures or partnerships with third parties, which would dilute our businesses with numerous other companiesinterest in the Properties.

Future cash flows and the availability of financing are subject to a number of variables, such as:

our success in locating and producing new reserves;
prices of crude oil and natural gas;
the level of production from existing wells; and
amounts of necessary working capital and expenses.

9

Issuing equity securities to satisfy our financing or refinancing requirements could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders. Debt financing could lead to:

all or a substantial portion of our operating cash flow, if any, being dedicated to the payment of principal and interest;
an increase in interest expense as the amount of debt outstanding increases or as variable interest rates increase;
increased vulnerability to competitive pressures and economic downturns; and
restrictions on our operations that may be contained in any contract entered into with lenders.

In order to obtain capital, we could enter into a joint venture or partnership with another oil and gas company or companies in which we would maintain a carried or reduced working interest in the Properties. However, this would reduce our ownership and control over the projects and could significantly reduce our future revenue generated from oil and gas production. For example, on April 30, 2021, the Company and USNG entered a non-binding term sheet to set terms and conditions whereby the parties thereto would formalize a joint venture for the purpose of exploring for and developing various potential noble gas reserves on the Properties. The joint venture would cover all of the noble gas rights and production rights potentially existing on the approximate 11,000 acres included in the Properties. Such term sheet contains various provisions and conditions, including the Company receiving the 50% net revenue-share of all noble gases sold, with the Company responsible for 37.5% of the related expenses. There can be no assurances that such parties will complete and execute such definitive agreements and if successful, what the final terms will be. Furthermore, there can be no assurances that the Properties hold potential reserves of noble gases or that they can be produced on a commercially profitable basis. For additional information regarding the term sheet, see “Recent Developments – Joint Venture Agreement Term Sheet”, beginning on page 5.

In addition, future events, such as terrorist attacks, wars or combat peace-keeping missions, financial market disruptions, general economic recessions, oil and natural gas industry including many that have significantly greaterrecessions, large company bankruptcies, accounting scandals, pandemic diseases, overstated reserves estimates by major public oil companies and disruptions in the financial and other resources.capital markets have caused financial institutions, credit rating agencies and the public to more closely review the financial statements, capital structures and earnings of public companies, including energy companies. Such competitorsevents have constrained the capital available to the energy industry in the past, and such events or similar events could adversely affect our access to funding for our operations in the future.

Our future production is contingent on successful development and operation of the Properties.

Our future oil production is highly dependent on our level of success in development and operation of the Properties. The business of exploring for and developing reserves is capital intensive. Exploration will require significant additional capital expenditures and successful drilling operations. In our current financial situation, we are limited in our ability to engage in significant exploration or development efforts unless we receive additional funding. We will also need to raise additional funding to complete future potential acquisitions and will be required to raise additional funds to fund our operations and complete exploration and drilling operations beyond 2021 and acquire assets. Management’s plans in regard to these matters consist principally of seeking additional debt and/or equity financing combined with expected cash flows from current oil and gas assets held and additional oil and gas assets that we may acquire. Our efforts may not be successful, and funds may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If we need to raise additional funds in the future by issuing equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders will result, and such securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those holders of our Common Stock. In order to obtain capital, we could enter into a joint venture or partnership with another oil and gas company or companies in which we would maintain a carried or reduced working interest in the Properties. However, this would reduce our ownership and control over the projects and could significantly reduce our future revenue generated from oil and gas production. On April 30, 2021, the Company and USNG entered a non-binding term sheet to set terms and conditions whereby the parties thereto would formalize a joint venture for the purpose of exploring for and development of various potential noble gas reserves on the Properties. For additional information regarding such term sheet, see “Recent Developments - Joint Venture Agreement Term Sheet”.

If funding is insufficient at any time in the future and we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from new business arrangements, to complete planned acquisitions or operations, our results of operations and the value of our securities could be adversely affected.

Additionally, due to the nature of oil and gas interests, i.e., that rates of production generally decline over time as oil and gas reserves are depleted, if we are unable to drill additional wells and develop our reserves, either because we are unable to raise sufficient funding for such development activities, or otherwise, or in the event we are unable to acquire additional operating properties, we believe that our revenues will continue to decline over time. Furthermore, in the event we are unable to raise additional required funding in the future, we will not be able to payparticipate in the drilling of additional wells, will not be able to complete other drilling and/or workover activities, and may not be able to make required payments on our outstanding liabilities.

If this were to happen, we may be forced to scale back our business plan, sell or liquidate assets to satisfy outstanding debts, all of which could result in the value of our outstanding securities declining in value.

Our success is dependent on the prices of oil, natural gas and other mineral reserves. Low oil or natural gas prices and the substantial volatility in these prices have adversely affected, and are expected to continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to meet our capital expenditure requirements and financial obligations.

The prices we receive for our oil and natural gas heavily influence our revenue, profitability, cash flow available for capital expenditures, access to capital and future rate of growth. Oil and natural gas are commodities and, therefore, their prices are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand. Historically, the commodities market has been volatile. For example, the price of crude oil has experienced significant volatility over the last 5 years, with the price per barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude oil rising from a monthly average low of approximately $38 in February 2016 to a high of approximately $79 in September 2018, then dropping below $20 per barrel in April 2020, due in part to reduced global demand stemming from the recent global COVID-19 outbreak, before recovering to between approximately $70 and $75 per barrel more recently. Prices for desirablenatural gas and natural gas liquids experienced declines of similar magnitude. An extended period of continued lower oil prices, or additional price declines, will have further adverse effects on us. The prices we receive for our production, and the levels of our production, will continue to depend on numerous factors, including the following:

the domestic and foreign supply of oil and natural gas;
the domestic and foreign demand for oil and natural gas;
the prices and availability of competitors’ supplies of oil and natural gas;
the actions of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and state-controlled oil companies relating to oil price and production controls;
the price and quantity of foreign imports of oil and natural gas;
the impact of U.S. dollar exchange rates on oil and natural gas prices;
domestic and foreign governmental regulations and taxes;
speculative trading of oil and natural gas futures contracts;
localized supply and demand fundamentals, including the availability, proximity and capacity of gathering and transportation systems for natural gas;
the availability of refining capacity;
the prices and availability of alternative fuel sources;

11

the threat, or perceived threat, or results, of viral pandemics, for example, as experienced with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021;
weather conditions and natural disasters;
political conditions in or affecting oil and natural gas producing regions, including the Middle East and South America;
the continued threat of terrorism and the impact of military action and civil unrest;
public pressure on, and legislative and regulatory interest within, federal, state and local governments to stop, significantly limit or regulate hydraulic fracturing activities;
the level of global oil and natural gas inventories and exploration and production activity;
authorization of exports from the Unites States of liquefied natural gas;
the impact of energy conservation efforts;
technological advances affecting energy consumption; and
overall worldwide economic conditions.

If oil or natural gas prices remain depressed or our development and drilling efforts are unsuccessful, we could be required to write down the carrying value of certain of our oil and natural gas properties. Write downs may occur when oil and natural gas prices are low, or if we have downward adjustments to our estimated proved reserves, increases in our estimates of operating or development costs, deterioration in drilling results or mechanical problems with wells where the cost to re-drill or repair is not supported by the expected economics.

Under the full cost method of accounting, capitalized oil and gas leasesproperty costs less accumulated depletion and net of deferred income taxes may not exceed an amount equal to evaluate, bidthe present value, discounted at 10%, of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves plus the cost of unproved properties not subject to amortization (without regard to estimates of fair value), or estimated fair value, if lower, of unproved properties that are subject to amortization. Should capitalized costs exceed this ceiling, an impairment would be recognized.

Declines in oil or natural gas prices have not, and will not, only reduce our revenue, but have and will reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that we can produce economically. Should natural gas or oil prices decline from current levels and remain there for an extended period of time, we may choose to shut-in our operated wells, delay some or all of our exploration and development plans for our prospects, or to cease exploration or development activities on certain prospects due to the anticipated unfavorable economics from such activities, and, as a result, we may have to make substantial downward adjustments to our estimated proved reserves, each of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to regulations affecting our activities with the Properties.

We are subject to legal and regulatory oversight by federal and local authorities, such as the Ministry of Energy and Mines and the Kansas Energy Office, with respect to the exploration for, and purchasethe development, production and marketing of, crude oil and natural gas, as well as safety matters. From time to time, in varying degrees, federal and state laws and regulations affect our operations in the Properties. In particular, price controls, taxes and other laws relating to the crude oil and natural gas industry, changes in these laws and changes in administrative regulations have affected, and in the future could affect, crude oil and natural gas production, operations and economics. We cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on our operations in the Properties. As a greater numberresult, we may be required to make significant expenditures to comply with governmental laws and regulations.

12

Further, operations in the Properties are subject to complex federal and local environmental laws and regulations. The discharge of properties thannatural gas, crude oil, or other pollutants into the air, soil or water may give rise to significant liabilities on our financial or personnel resources permit.part to government agencies and third parties and may require us to incur substantial costs of remediation. In addition, in the future we may incur costs and penalties in addressing regulatory agency procedures involving instances of possible non-compliance.

All of our oil and gas production will be located in the Central Kansas Uplift geological formation, making us vulnerable to risks associated with operating in only one geographic area.

 

Our operations will be focused solely in the Central Kansas Uplift geological formation, which means our producing properties and new drilling opportunities will be geographically concentrated in one area. Because our operations will not be as diversified geographically as many of our competitors, the success of our operations and our profitability may be disproportionately exposed to the effect of any regional events, including:

fluctuations in prices of crude oil, natural gas and other mineral reserves produced from the wells in this area;
natural disasters;
the effects of local quarantines;
restrictive governmental regulations; and
curtailment of production or interruption in the availability of gathering, processing or transportation infrastructure and services, and any resulting delays or interruptions of production from existing or planned new wells.

Similarly, the concentration of our assets within one producing formation exposes us to risks, such as changes in field-wide rules that could adversely affect development activities or production relating to this formation. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, in areas where exploration and production activities are increasing, as has been the case in recent months in the Central Kansas Uplift geological formation where our Properties are located, the demand for, and cost of, drilling rigs, equipment, supplies, personnel and oilfield services increase. Shortages or the high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies, personnel or oilfield services could delay or adversely affect our development and exploration operations or cause us to incur significant expenditures that are not provided for in our capital forecast, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, strategy includes highly competitivefinancial condition or results of operations. Finally, our operations in Kansas may be negatively affected by quarantines put in place in Kansas in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 or other viruses or diseases.

We may have accidents, equipment failures or mechanical problems while drilling or completing wells or in production activities, which could adversely affect our business.

While we are drilling and completing wells or involved in production activities, we may have accidents or experience equipment failures or mechanical problems in a well that cause us to be unable to drill and complete the well or to continue to produce the well according to our plans. We may also damage a potentially hydrocarbon-bearing formation during drilling and completion operations. Such incidents may result in a reduction of our production and reserves from the well or in abandonment of the well.

Our operations are subject to operational hazards and unforeseen interruptions against which we were unable to maintain insurance.

There are numerous operational hazards inherent in oil and natural gas exploration, development, production and production.gathering, including:

unusual or unexpected geologic formations;
natural disasters;

13

adverse weather conditions;
unanticipated pressures;
loss of drilling fluid circulation;
blowouts where oil or natural gas flows uncontrolled at a wellhead;
cratering or collapse of the formation;
pipe or cement leaks, failures or casing collapses;
fires or explosions;
releases of hazardous substances or other waste materials that cause environmental damage;
pressures or irregularities in formations; and
equipment failures or accidents.

In addition, there is an inherent risk of incurring significant environmental costs and liabilities in the performance of our operations, some of which may be material, due to our handling of petroleum hydrocarbons and wastes, our emissions to air and water, the underground injection or other disposal of our wastes, the use of hydraulic fracturing fluids and historical industry operations and waste disposal practices.

Any of these or other similar occurrences could result in the disruption or impairment of our operations, substantial repair costs, personal injury or loss of human life, significant damage to property, environmental pollution and substantial revenue losses. The location of our wells, gathering systems, pipelines and other facilities near populated areas, including residential areas, commercial business centers and industrial sites, if any, could significantly increase the level of damages resulting from these risks. Insurance against all operational risks is not available to us. We face intense competitionare not insured against all operational risks, including development and completion risks that are generally not recoverable from third parties or insurance. In addition, pollution and environmental risks are not assured. With respect to our other non-operated assets, we may elect to continue not obtaining insurance if we believe that the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to the perceived risks presented. Losses could, therefore, occur for uninsurable or uninsured risks and liabilities from uninsured and underinsured events could have a large numbermaterial adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of independent exploration and development companies as well as majoroperations.

Unless we replace our oil and natural gas companiesreserves, our reserves and production will decline, which will adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The rate of production from the Properties will decline as our reserves are depleted. Our future oil and natural gas reserves and production and, therefore, our income and cash flow, are highly dependent on our success in a number(a) efficiently developing and exploiting our current reserves on the Properties and (b) economically finding or acquiring additional oil and natural gas producing properties. In the future, we may have difficulty acquiring new properties. During periods of areas such as obtaininglow oil and/or natural gas prices, it will become more difficult to raise the capital necessary to pursuefinance expansion activities. If we are unable to replace our Nicaraguan Concessionsproduction, our reserves will decrease, and seekingour business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

14

Our strategy includes future acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties, and our failure to identify or complete any such future acquisitions successfully, or not produce projected revenues associated with such future acquisitions, could reduce our earnings and hamper our growth.

We may be unable in the future to identify properties for acquisition or to make acquisitions on terms that we consider economically acceptable. There is intense competition for acquisition opportunities in our industry. Competition for acquisitions may increase the cost of, or cause us to refrain from, completing acquisitions. The completion and pursuit of acquisitions may be dependent upon, among other things, our ability to obtain debt and equity financing and, in some cases, regulatory approvals. Our ability to grow through acquisitions will require us to continue to invest in our operations, financial and management information systems and to attract, retain, motivate and effectively manage our employees. The inability to manage the integration of acquisitions into our business, including the integration of the Properties, could reduce our focus on subsequent acquisitions and current operations and could negatively impact our results of operations and growth potential. Our financial position and results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period as a result of the completion of significant acquisitions during particular periods. If we are not successful in identifying or acquiring any future material property interests, our earnings could be reduced and our growth could be restricted.

We may engage in bidding and negotiating to complete successful acquisitions. We may be required to alter or increase substantially our capitalization to finance these acquisitions through the use of cash on hand, the issuance of debt or equity securities, the sale of production payments, the sale of non-strategic assets, the borrowing of funds or otherwise. If we were to proceed with one or more acquisitions involving the issuance of the Common Stock, our stockholders would suffer dilution of their interests. Furthermore, our decision to acquire properties that are substantially different in operating or geologic characteristics or geographic locations from areas with which our staff is familiar may impact our productivity in such areas.

We may not be able to produce the services, equipment, laborprojected revenues related to our acquisition of the Properties and materials necessary to explore, operateour future acquisitions. There are many assumptions related to the projection of the revenues the Properties and develop those properties. Most of future acquisitions including, but not limited to, drilling success, oil and natural gas prices, production decline curves and other data. If revenues from the Properties or from future acquisitions do not meet projections, this could adversely affect our competitorsbusiness and financial condition.

If we complete acquisitions or enter into business combinations in the future, they may disrupt or have financiala negative impact on our business.

If we complete acquisitions or enter into business combinations in the future, funding permitting, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired companies’ assets, personnel and technological resources substantially exceeding those availableoperations with our own. Additionally, acquisitions, mergers or business combinations into which we may enter in the future could result in a change of control of the Company, and a change in the board of directors or officers of the Company. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the effect expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition or completing a business combination, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions and business combinations are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:

the difficulty of integrating acquired companies, concepts and operations;
the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our management and the management of acquired companies;
change in our business focus and/or management;
difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
the potential impairment of relationships with employees and partners as a result of any integration of new management personnel;
the potential inability to manage an increased number of locations and employees;
our ability to successfully manage the companies and/or concepts acquired;
the failure to realize efficiencies, synergies and cost savings; or
the effect of any government regulations which relate to the business acquired.

15

Our business could be sureseverely impaired if and to the extent that we willare unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks or other problems encountered in connection with an acquisition or business combination, many of which cannot be successful in developingpresently identified. These risks and operating profitable the Concessionsproblems could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations.

Any acquisition or business combination transaction we enter into in the facefuture could cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders, result in one party having majority or significant control over the Company or result in a change in business focus of this competition.the Company.

 

Government RegulationThe Properties may have, or we may purchase oil and natural gas properties in the future that may have, liabilities or risks that we did not know about or that we did not assess correctly, and, as a result, we could be subject to liabilities that could adversely affect our results of the Oil and Gas Industryoperations.

 

Before acquiring the Properties and any future oil and natural gas properties, we estimate the reserves, future oil and natural gas prices, operating costs, potential environmental liabilities and other factors relating to such properties. However, our review involves many assumptions and estimates, and their accuracy is inherently uncertain. As a result, we may not discover all existing or potential problems associated with the Properties or other properties that we acquire in the future. We may not become sufficiently familiar with such properties to assess fully their deficiencies and capabilities. We do not generally perform inspections on every well or property, and we may not be able to observe mechanical and environmental problems even when we conduct an inspection. The sellers of such properties may not be willing or financially able to give us contractual protection against any identified problems, and we may decide to assume environmental and other liabilities in connection with properties we acquire. We did assume the plugging and abandonment liability for the existing wells on our Properties. If the Properties have, or if we acquire properties in the future that have, risks or liabilities that we did not know about or that we did not assess correctly, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected as we settle claims and incur cleanup costs related to these liabilities.

We may incur losses or costs as a result of title deficiencies in the properties in which we invest, including the Properties.

If an examination of the title history of a property that we have purchased, including the Properties, reveals an oil and natural gas lease has been purchased in error from a person who is not the owner of the property, our interest would be worthless. In such an instance, the amount paid for such oil and natural gas lease as well as any royalties paid pursuant to the terms of the lease prior to the discovery of the title defect would be lost.

Prior to the drilling of an oil and natural gas well, it is the normal practice in the oil and natural gas industry for the person or company acting as the operator of the well to obtain a preliminary title review of the spacing unit within which the proposed oil and natural gas well is to be drilled to ensure there are no obvious deficiencies in title to the well. Frequently, as a result of such examinations, certain curative work must be done to correct deficiencies in the marketability of the title, and such curative work entails expense. Our failure to cure any title defects may adversely impact our ability in the future to increase production and reserves. In the future, we may suffer a monetary loss from title defects or title failure. Additionally, unproved and unevaluated acreage has greater risk of title defects than developed acreage. If there are any title defects or defects in assignment of leasehold rights in properties in which we hold an interest, we will suffer a financial loss which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We currently have a limited amount of past seismic and other geological data and may have difficulty obtaining additional data at a reasonable cost, which could adversely affect our future results of operations.

We acquired 3Dseismic and other geological data with our recent acquisition of the Properties to assist us in exploration and development activities on the Properties. We may obtain access to additional data in our areas of interest through licensing arrangements with companies that own or have access to that data or by paying to obtain that data directly. Seismic and geological data can be expensive to license or obtain. We may not be able to license or obtain such data at an acceptable cost. In addition, even when properly interpreted, seismic data and visualization techniques are not conclusive in determining if hydrocarbons are present in economically producible amounts and seismic indications of hydrocarbon saturation are generally not reliable indicators of productive reservoir rock, which may negatively affect our efficacy, resulting in little or no yielding of oil or natural gas in commercial quantities. As a result, we may not be able to continue our operations as proposed and could be forced to modify our drilling plans accordingly, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, completion equipment and services, supplies and personnel, including hydraulic fracturing equipment and personnel, could adversely affect our ability to establish and execute exploration and development plans within budget and on a timely basis, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Shortages or the high cost of drilling rigs, completion equipment and services, supplies or personnel could delay or adversely affect our operations. When drilling activity in the United States increases, associated costs typically also increase, including those costs related to drilling rigs, equipment, supplies and personnel and the services and products of other vendors to the industry. These costs may increase, and necessary equipment and services may become unavailable to us at economical prices. Should this increase in costs occur, we may delay drilling activities, which may limit our ability to establish and replace reserves, or we may incur these higher costs, which may negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, in the past, the demand for hydraulic fracturing services has exceeded the availability of fracturing equipment and crews across the industry and in our operating areas in particular. The accelerated wear and tear of hydraulic fracturing equipment due to its deployment in unconventional oil and natural gas fields characterized by longer lateral lengths and larger numbers of fracturing stages may further amplify this equipment and crew shortage. Although we believe there is currently sufficient supply of hydraulic fracturing services, if demand for fracturing services increases or the supply of fracturing equipment and crews decreases, then higher costs could result and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The marketability of our production is dependent upon oil and natural gas gathering and transportation and storage facilities owned and operated by third parties, and the unavailability of satisfactory oil and natural gas transportation arrangements may have a material adverse effect on our revenue.

The unavailability of satisfactory oil and natural gas transportation arrangements may hinder our access to oil and natural gas markets and delay production from our wells. The availability of a ready market for our oil and natural gas production depends on a number of factors, including the demand for, and supply of, oil and natural gas and the proximity of reserves to pipelines, terminal facilities and storage facilities. Our ability to market our production depends in substantial part on the availability and capacity of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities owned and operated by third parties. Our failure to obtain these services on acceptable terms could materially harm our business. In the future we may be required to shut-in wells for lack of a market or because of inadequacy or unavailability of pipeline or gathering system capacity. When this occurs, we are unable to realize revenue from those wells until the market for oil and gas increases and/or until production arrangements are made to deliver our production to market. Furthermore, we are obligated to pay shut-in royalties to certain mineral interest owners in order to maintain our leases with respect to certain shut-in wells. We do not expect to purchase firm transportation capacity on third-party facilities. Therefore, we expect the transportation of our production to be generally interruptible in nature and lower in priority to those having firm transportation arrangements.

The disruption of third-party facilities due to maintenance and/or weather could negatively impact our ability to market and deliver our products. The third parties control when or if such facilities are restored after disruption, and what prices will be charged for products. Federal and state regulation of oil and natural gas production and transportation, tax and energy policies, changes in supply and demand, pipeline pressures, damage to or destruction of pipelines and general economic conditions could adversely affect our ability to produce, gather and transport oil and natural gas.

General

17

Financial difficulties encountered by our oil and natural gas purchasers, third-party operators or other third parties could decrease our cash flow from operations and adversely affect the exploration and development of our prospects and assets.

We will derive in the future, substantially all of our revenues from the sale of our oil and natural gas to unaffiliated third-party purchasers, independent marketing companies and mid-stream companies. Any delays in payments from our purchasers caused by financial problems encountered by them will have an immediate negative effect on our results of operations.

Liquidity and cash flow problems encountered by our working interest co-owners or the third-party operators of our non-operated properties may prevent or delay the drilling of a well or the development of a project. Our working interest co-owners may be unwilling or unable to pay their share of the costs of projects as they become due. In the case of a farmout party, we would have to find a new farmout party or obtain alternative funding in order to complete the exploration and development of the prospects subject to a farmout agreement. In the case of a working interest owner, we could be required to pay the working interest owner’s share of the project costs. We cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain the capital necessary to fund either of these contingencies or that we would be able to find a new farmout party.

We are continuing to negotiate with our creditors and may face additional claims in the future.

As of July 20, 2021, we have approximately $3.7 million of outstanding debt and liabilities. As of the date of this prospectus, we remain in default on payment of many of our obligations, including the Concessions agreements. As of December 31, 2020, the Concessions agreements remain terminated and the Company has abandoned all of its efforts to renew and/or renegotiate the terms of the Concessions agreements with the Nicaraguan government to cure the defaults. For additional information regarding the Concessions, see “Nicaraguan Concessions” in the prospectus summary on page 4.

We continue to have substantial liabilities which we are currently unable to pay. We continue to negotiate with our creditors to mitigate and settle our known liabilities to them or their claims of liabilities. Various suits have been filed to enforce payments of liabilities and we are working to address these suits. We may incur additional liabilities if our liquidity situation deteriorates further and may face additional claims from creditors seeking to protect their interests in light of our announcements regarding our financial condition and business plans. We are not able to predict our success in attempting to negotiate with these parties nor the expense related to such negotiations or in defending any litigation related to these claims. These creditors may take action to force us into bankruptcy involuntarily. In addition, if we are unable to manage our current liabilities or substantial additional claims are asserted against us, we may be forced to seek protection under the Bankruptcy Code. We may utilize a portion of the proceeds of this offering to help manage our current liabilities and negotiate with our creditors.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to repay any outstanding or future debt or meet our other obligations, including those relating to such debt and our outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, due to events beyond our control.

If we fail to pay the principal and interest on our outstanding or future promissory notes and/or the payment of dividends on our shares of Series A Preferred Stock or preferred stock that we may issue in the future, or if we otherwise default on our obligations under such outstanding or future preferred stock, notes, security agreements, certificates of designation, or related documentation, including the Notes, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition. We also have no revolving credit facility to fund our operating needs should it become necessary. It will be difficult to obtain an institutional line of credit facility given our recent operating losses, the current banking environment and the existence of such notes, which may adversely affect our ability to finance our business, grow or be profitable. Further, even if we could obtain a credit facility, in all likelihood would not be on terms favorable to us.

18

Our ability to generate cash flows from operations, to make payments on or refinance potential future indebtedness and to fund working capital needs and planned capital expenditures will depend on our future financial performance and our ability to generate cash in the future. Our future financial performance will be affected by a range of economic, financial, competitive, business and other factors that we cannot control, such as general economic, legislative, regulatory and financial conditions in our industry, the economy generally, the price of oil and other risks described herein. A significant reduction in operating cash flows resulting from changes in economic, legislative or regulatory conditions, increased competition or other events beyond our control could increase the need for additional or alternative sources of liquidity and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and our ability to service future potential debt and other obligations. If we are unable to service future potential indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs, we may be forced to adopt an alternative strategy that may include actions such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing such indebtedness, seeking additional capital, or any combination of the foregoing. If we incur additional debt, it would increase our interest expense, leverage and our operating and financial costs. We cannot assure you that any of these alternative strategies could be affected on satisfactory terms, if at all, or that they would yield sufficient funds to make required payments on future potential indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. Reducing or delaying capital expenditures or selling assets could delay future cash flows. In addition, the terms of future debt agreements may restrict us from adopting any of these alternatives. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay such future potential indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs.

If for any reason we are unable to meet our current or future potential debt service and repayment obligations, we may be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness, which could allow our creditors at that time to declare such outstanding indebtedness to be due and payable. Under these circumstances, our lenders could compel us to apply all of our available cash to repay our borrowings. In addition, the lenders under our credit facilities or other secured indebtedness could seek to foreclose on any of our assets that are their collateral. If the amounts outstanding under such indebtedness were to be accelerated, or were the subject of foreclosure actions, our assets may not be sufficient to repay in full the money owed to the lenders or to our other debt holders.

Our business will suffer if we cannot obtain or maintain necessary licenses.

Our operations will require licenses, drilling permits, mechanical integrity inspections of our wells and in some cases renewals of licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. Our ability to obtain, sustain or renew such licenses and permits on acceptable terms is subject to change in regulations and policies and to the discretion of the applicable governments, among other factors. Our inability to obtain, or our loss of or denial of extension of, any of these licenses or permits could hamper our ability to produce revenues from our operations.

The Federal Government has instituted a moratorium on new oil and gas leases and permits on federal onshore and offshore lands, which if extended, or leads to a change in regulatory schemes, may have a material adverse effect on the Company and its results of operations.

On January 27, 2021, President Biden announced a moratorium on new oil and gas leases and permits on federal onshore and offshore lands “to the extent consistent with applicable law,” while a comprehensive review of existing fossil fuel leasing and permitting practices is conducted by the Interior Department. It is currently unclear whether the moratorium is the start of a change in federal policies regarding the grant of oil and gas permits on federal lands. The current moratorium does not currently affect the Company, as the Company has no near-term plans to drill new wells on any leases held on federal lands; however, if such moratorium was to become permanent, or the federal government in the future were to grant less permits on federal lands, make such permitting process more difficult, costly, or to institute more stringent rules relating to such permitting process, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to undertake oil and gas operations on such portion of its leases on federal lands.

Failure to comply with government regulation of the oil and gas industry has and may continue to negatively impact our business.

 

Our business is affected by numerous laws and regulations, including, among others, laws and regulations relating to energy, environment, conservation and tax. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and/or criminal penalties, the imposition of injunctive relief or both. Moreover, changes in any of these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business. In view of the many uncertainties with respect to current and future laws and regulations, including their applicability to Infinity,us, we cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on our future operations.

 

If we commence operations in Nicaragua we will be subject to legal and regulatory oversight by its energy-related agencies, such as the Nicaraguan Energy Institute, with respect to its energy or hydrocarbons laws. In such case, from time to time, in varying degrees, political developments and federal and state laws and regulations affect our operations in Nicaragua. In particular, price controls, taxes and other laws relating to the crude oil and natural gas industry, changes in these laws and changes in administrative regulations have affected and in the future could affect crude oil and natural gas production, operations and economics. We cannot predict how Nicaraguan agencies or courts will interpret existing laws and regulations or the effect these adoptions and interpretations may have on our business or financial condition at that point.

19

 

Our business will also be subject to laws and regulations promulgated by federal and local authorities, including the Ministry of Energy and Mines, relating to the exploration for, and the development, production and marketing of, crude oil and natural gas, as well as safety matters. Legal requirements may be frequently changed and subject to interpretation and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on our future operations in Nicaragua. In such event, we may be required to make significant expenditures to comply with governmental laws and regulations.

 

Further, future operations in Nicaragua will be subject to complex federal and local environmental laws and regulations. The discharge of natural gas, crude oil, or other pollutants into the air, soil or water may give rise to significant liabilities on our part to government agencies and third parties and may require us to incur substantial costs of remediation. In addition, in the future we may incur costs and penalties in addressing regulatory agency procedures involving instances of possible non-compliance.

The following discussion contains summaries of certain laws and regulations and is qualified as mentioned above.

 

Environmental and Land Use Regulation

 

Various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment affect our operations and costs. The areas affected include:

 

unit production expenses primarily related to the control and limitation of air emissions, spill prevention and the disposal of produced water;
  
capital costs to drill development wells resulting from expenses primarily related to the management and disposal of drilling fluids and other oil and natural gas exploration wastes;
  
capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities;
  
operational costs associated with ongoing compliance and monitoring activities; and
  
exit costs for operations that we are responsible for closing, including costs for dismantling and abandoning wells and remediating environmental impacts.

 

The environmental and land use laws and regulations affecting oil and natural gas operations have been changed frequently in the past, and in general, these changes have imposed more stringent requirements that increase operating costs and/or require capital expenditures in order to remain in compliance. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in civil and/or criminal fines and liability for non-compliance, clean-up costs, third-party claims for property damage, personal injuries fines and sanctions and other environmental damages. It is also possible that unanticipated developments or changes in law could cause us to make environmental expenditures significantly greater than those we currently expect.

 

We are not in compliance with existing federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations for our previously owned domestic oil and gas properties and this could have a material or significantly adverse effect upon our liquidity, capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. All domestic oil and gas properties held by us in Wyoming and Texas were disposed of well prior to March 31, 2021; however, we may remain liable for certain asset retirement costs should the new owners not complete their obligations. Management believes that the total asset retirement obligations recorded of $1,716,003 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are sufficient to cover any potential noncompliance liabilities relative to the plugging of abandoned wells, the removal of facilities and equipment, and site restoration on oil and gas properties for its former oil and gas properties. We have not maintained insurance on the domestic properties for a number of years nor have we owned/produced any oil & gas properties for a number of years prior to our April 1, 2021 acquisition of the Properties.

We believe that we will be in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations with respect to the Properties. We do not currently anticipate that future compliance will have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, if we are deemed to not be in compliance with applicable environmental laws, we could be forced to expend substantial amounts to be in compliance, which would have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition.

Regulations could adversely affect our ability to hedge risks associated with our business and our operating results and cash flows.

Rules adopted by federal regulators establishing federal regulation of the over-the-counter derivatives market and entities that participate in that market may adversely affect our ability to manage certain of our risks on a cost-effective basis. Such laws and regulations may also adversely affect our ability to execute our strategies with respect to hedging our exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable to the future sale of our oil and gas.

We expect that our potential future hedging activities will remain subject to significant and developing regulations and regulatory oversight. However, the full impact of the various U.S. regulatory developments in connection with these activities will not be known with certainty until such derivatives market regulations are fully implemented and related market practices and structures are fully developed.

20

Drilling for and producing oil and natural gas are highly speculative and involve a high degree of risk, with many uncertainties that could adversely affect our business. We have not recorded proved reserves, and areas that we decide to drill may not yield oil or natural gas in commercial quantities or at all.

Exploring for and developing mineral reserves involves a high degree of operational and financial risk, which precludes us from definitively predicting the costs involved and time required to reach certain objectives. Our potential drilling locations are in various stages of evaluation, ranging from locations that are ready to drill, to locations that will require substantial additional interpretation before they can be drilled. The followingbudgeted costs of planning, drilling, completing and operating wells are often exceeded, and such costs can increase significantly due to various complications that may arise during the drilling and operating processes. Before a well is spudded, we may incur significant geological and geophysical (seismic) costs, which are incurred whether a well eventually produces commercial quantities of hydrocarbons or is drilled at all. Exploration wells bear a much greater risk of loss than development wells. The analogies we draw from available data from other wells, more fully explored locations or producing fields may not be applicable to our drilling locations. If our actual drilling and development costs are significantly more than our estimated costs, we may not be able to continue our operations as proposed and could be forced to modify our drilling plans accordingly.

If we decide to drill a certain location, there is a summary discussionrisk that no commercially productive oil or natural gas reservoirs will be found or produced. We may drill or participate in new wells that are not productive. We may drill wells that are productive, but that do not produce sufficient net revenues to return a profit after drilling, operating and other costs. There is no way to predict in advance of drilling and testing whether any particular location will yield oil or natural gas in sufficient quantities to recover exploration, drilling or completion costs or to be economically viable. Even if sufficient amounts of oil or natural gas exist, we may damage the potentially productive hydrocarbon-bearing formation or experience mechanical difficulties while drilling or completing the well, resulting in a reduction in production and reserves from the well or abandonment of the frameworkwell.

In addition, production and reserves, if any, attributable to the use of keyenhanced recovery methods are inherently difficult to predict. If our enhanced recovery methods do not allow for the extraction of crude oil, natural gas, and associated liquids in a manner or to the extent that we anticipate, we may not realize an acceptable return on our investments in such projects. As proposed legislation and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing become law, the cost of some of these enhanced recovery methods could increase substantially.

Whether a well is ultimately productive and profitable depends on a number of additional factors, including the following:

general economic and industry conditions, including the prices received for oil and natural gas;
shortages of, or delays in, obtaining equipment, including hydraulic fracturing equipment, and qualified personnel;
potential significant water production which could make a producing well uneconomic;
potential drainage by operators on adjacent properties;
loss of, or damage to, oilfield development and service tools;
problems with title to the underlying properties;
increases in severance taxes;
adverse weather conditions that delay drilling activities or cause producing wells to be shut down;
governmental regulations; and
proximity to and capacity of transportation facilities.

21

If we do not drill productive and profitable wells in the future, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Competition due to advances in renewable fuels may lessen the demand for our products and negatively impact our profitability.

Alternatives to petroleum-based products and production methods are continually under development. For example, a number of automotive, industrial and power generation manufacturers are developing alternative clean power systems using fuel cells or clean-burning gaseous fuels that may address increasing worldwide energy costs, the long-term availability of petroleum reserves and environmental concerns, which if successful could lower the demand for oil and landgas. If these non-petroleum-based products and oil alternatives including any improvement in or new discoveries of alternative energy technologies (such as wind, solar, geothermal, fuel cells and biofuels) continue to expand and gain broad acceptance such that the overall demand for oil and gas is decreased it could have an adverse effect on our operations and the value of our assets.

Competition in the oil and natural gas industry is intense, making it difficult for us to acquire properties, market oil and natural gas and secure trained personnel.

We operate in the highly competitive areas of oil and natural gas acquisition, exploration, development and production with many other companies. We face intense competition from a large number of independent companies as well as major oil and natural gas companies in a number of areas such as:

acquisition of desirable producing properties or new leases for future exploration;
marketing our oil and natural gas production; and
arranging for growth capital on attractive terms.

In addition, there is substantial competition for capital available for investment in the oil and natural gas industry. Many of our competitors possess and employ financial, technical and personnel resources substantially greater than ours, and many of our competitors have more established presences in the United States than we have. Those companies may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural gas properties and exploratory prospects and to evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or personnel resources permit. In addition, other companies may be able to offer better compensation packages to attract and retain qualified personnel than we are able to offer. The cost to attract and retain qualified personnel has increased in recent years due to competition and may increase substantially in the future. We may not be able to compete successfully in the future in acquiring prospective reserves, developing reserves, marketing hydrocarbons, attracting and retaining quality personnel and raising additional capital, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our competitors may use superior technology and data resources that we may be unable to afford or that would require a costly investment by us in order to compete with them more effectively.

Our industry is subject to rapid and significant advancements in technology, including the introduction of new products and services using new technologies and databases. As our competitors use or develop new technologies, we may be placed at a competitive disadvantage, and competitive pressures may force us to implement new technologies at a substantial cost. In addition, many of our competitors will have greater financial, technical and personnel resources that allow them to enjoy technological advantages and may in the future allow them to implement new technologies before we can. We cannot be certain that we will be able to implement technologies on a timely basis or at a cost that is acceptable to us. One or more of the technologies that we will use or that we may implement in the future may become obsolete, and we may be adversely affected.

22

Competition for hydraulic fracturing services and water disposal could impede our ability to develop our oil and gas plays.

The unavailability or high cost of high-pressure pumping services (or hydraulic fracturing services), chemicals, proppant, water and water disposal and related services and equipment could limit our ability to execute our exploration and development plans on a timely basis and within our budget. The U.S. oil and natural gas industry is experiencing a growing emphasis on the exploitation and development of shale natural gas and shale oil resource plays, which are dependent on hydraulic fracturing for economically successful development. Hydraulic fracturing in oil and gas plays requires high pressure pumping service crews. A shortage of service crews or proppant, chemical, water or water disposal options, especially if this shortage occurred in the Properties, could materially and adversely affect our operations and the timeliness of executing our development plans within our budget.

Our operations are substantially dependent on the availability of water and any restrictions on our ability to obtain water may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Water is an essential component of shale oil and natural gas production during both the drilling and hydraulic fracturing processes. When drought conditions occur, governmental authorities may restrict the use of water subject to their jurisdiction for hydraulic fracturing to protect local water supplies. If we are unable to obtain water to use in our operations from local sources or dispose of or recycle water used in operations, or if the price of water or water disposal increases significantly, we may be unable to produce oil and natural gas economically, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Part of our strategy involves using certain of the latest available enhanced recovery methods for our horizontal production well, which involve additional risks and uncertainties in their application if compared to conventional production wells.

We plan to utilize some of the latest enhanced recovery methods for our existing horizontal production well in order to maximize production and ultimate recoveries and therefore generate the highest possible returns. The additional risks that we face while drilling horizontally include, but are not limited to, the following:

Enhanced rework and stimulation of horizontal wells are significantly longer and more costly to implement than rework of more conventional wells;
Maintenance of our casing the entire length of the horizontal wellbore; and
being able to run tools and other equipment consistently through the horizontal wellbore.

Risks that we face while reworking our existing producing wells include, but are not limited to, the following:

the ability to fracture stimulate the planned number of stages in a horizontal or lateral well bore;
the ability to run tools the entire length of the wellbore during completion operations; and
the ability to successfully clean out the wellbore after completion of the final fracture stimulation stage.

Ultimately, the success of these drilling and completion techniques can only be evaluated over time as more wells are drilled and production profiles are established over a sufficiently long time period. If our drilling results are less than anticipated or we are unable to execute our drilling program because of capital constraints, lease expirations, limited access to gathering systems and takeaway capacity, and/or prices for crude oil and natural gas decline, then the return on our investment for a particular project may not be as attractive as we anticipated and we could incur material write-downs of oil and gas properties and the value of our undeveloped acreage could decline in the future.

Prospects that we decide to drill may not yield oil or natural gas in commercially viable quantities.

Our prospects are in various stages of evaluation, ranging from prospects that are currently being drilled to prospects that will require substantial additional seismic data processing and interpretation. There is no way to predict in advance of drilling and testing whether any particular prospect will yield oil or natural gas in sufficient quantities to recover drilling or completion costs or to be economically viable. This risk may be enhanced in our situation, due to the fact that a significant percentage of our reserves is undeveloped. The use of seismic data and other technologies and the study of producing fields in the same area will not enable us to know conclusively prior to drilling whether oil or natural gas will be present or, if present, whether oil or natural gas will be present in commercial quantities. We cannot assure you that the analogies we draw from available data obtained by analyzing other wells, more fully explored prospects or producing fields will be applicable to our drilling prospects.

23

In addition, estimates of reserves and of future net revenues prepared by different petroleum engineers may vary substantially depending, in part, on the assumptions made and may be subject to adjustment either up or down in the future. Our actual amounts of production, revenue, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses, and quantities of recoverable oil and gas reserves may vary substantially from the estimates. Oil and gas reserve estimates are necessarily inexact and involve matters of subjective engineering judgment. In addition, any estimates of our future net revenues and the present value thereof are based on assumptions derived in part from historical price and cost information, which may not reflect current and future values, and/or other assumptions made by us that only represent our best estimates. If these estimates of quantities, prices and costs prove inaccurate, we may be unsuccessful in expanding our oil and gas reserves base with our acquisitions. Additionally, if declines in and instability of oil and gas prices occur, then write downs in the capitalized costs associated with any oil and gas assets we obtain may be required. Because of the nature of the estimates of our reserves and estimates in general, reductions to our estimated proved oil and gas reserves and estimated future net revenues may not be required in the future, and/or that our estimated reserves may not present and/or commercially extractable. If our reserve estimates are incorrect, we may be forced to write down the capitalized costs of our oil and gas properties.

Decommissioning costs are unknown and may be substantial. Unplanned costs could divert resources from other projects.

We may become responsible for costs associated with abandoning and reclaiming wells, facilities and pipelines which we use for production of oil and natural gas reserves. Abandonment and reclamation of these facilities and the costs associated therewith is often referred to as “decommissioning.” We will accrue a liability for decommissioning costs associated with our wells and we have not established any cash reserve account for these potential costs in respect of the Properties. If decommissioning is required before economic depletion of the Properties or if our estimates of the costs of decommissioning exceed the value of the reserves remaining at any particular time to cover such decommissioning costs, we may have to draw on funds from other sources to satisfy such costs. The use of other funds to satisfy such decommissioning costs could impair our ability to focus capital investment in other areas of our business.

Negative public perception regarding us and/or our industry could have an adverse effect on our operations.

Negative public perception regarding us and/or our industry resulting from, among other things, concerns raised by advocacy groups about hydraulic fracturing, waste disposal, oil spills, seismic activity, climate change, explosions of natural gas transmission lines and the development and operation of pipelines and other midstream facilities may lead to increased regulatory scrutiny, which may, in turn, lead to new state and federal safety and environmental laws, regulations, guidelines and enforcement interpretations. Additionally, environmental groups, landowners, local groups and other advocates may oppose our operations through organized protests, attempts to block or sabotage our operations or those of our midstream transportation providers, intervene in regulatory or administrative proceedings involving our assets or those of our midstream transportation providers, or file lawsuits or other actions designed to prevent, disrupt or delay the development or operation of our assets and business or those of our midstream transportation providers. These actions may cause operational delays or restrictions, increased operating costs, additional regulatory burdens and increased risk of litigation. Moreover, governmental authorities exercise considerable discretion in the timing and scope of permit issuance and the public may engage in the permitting process, including through intervention in the courts. Negative public perception could cause the permits we require to conduct our operations to be withheld, delayed or burdened by requirements affectingthat restrict our ability to profitably conduct our business.

Significant studies and research have been devoted to climate change and global warming, and climate change has developed into a major political issue in the United States and globally. Certain research suggests that greenhouse gas emissions contribute to climate change and pose a threat to the environment. Recent scientific research and political debate has focused in part on carbon dioxide and methane incidental to oil and natural gas exploration development,and production. As such, activists have directed their attention towards sources of funding for fossil-fuel energy companies, which has resulted in certain financial institutions, funds and other sources of capital restricting or eliminating their investment in energy-related activities. Ultimately, this could make it more difficult to secure funding for exploration and production and transportation operations.activities.

For example, relatively warm temperatures during a winter season generally result in relatively lower demand for natural gas (as less natural gas is used to maintain insurance against such potential risksheat residences and losses.businesses) and, as a result, lower prices for natural gas production.

 

In addition, pollutionthere has been public discussion that climate change may be associated with more frequent or more extreme weather events, changes in temperature and environmental risks are not insured. Ifprecipitation patterns, changes to ground and surface water availability, and other related phenomena, which could affect some, or all, of our operations. Our exploration, exploitation and development activities and equipment could be adversely affected by extreme weather events, such as winter storms, flooding and tropical storms and hurricanes, which may cause a significant accidentloss of production from temporary cessation of activity or damaged facilities and equipment. Such extreme weather events could also impact other event occurs not covered by insurance, it couldareas of our operations, including access to our drilling and production facilities for routine operations, maintenance and repairs, the installation and operation of gathering, processing, compression, storage and transportation facilities and the availability of, and our access to, necessary third-party services, such as gathering, processing, compression, storage and transportation services. Such extreme weather events and changes in weather patterns may materially and adversely affect us.our business and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations.

 

EmployeesWe depend on key personnel.

 

Our success will be largely dependent upon the efforts of our executive officers, Stanton E. Ross, Daniel F. Hutchins and John Loeffelbein. We do not have two employees, our CEO and CFO, whose salaries we have deferred. We also use outside contractors to perform services.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

We own a 100% interest in the Perlas Block (560,000 acres/2,268 km) and Tyra Block (826,000 acres/3,342 km) located in shallow waters offshore Nicaragua. Within 15 days of entering an exploration sub-period, we are required to provide an irrevocable guarantee (“Irrevocable Guarantee”) in favoremployment agreements with Messrs. Ross, Hutchins or Loeffelbein. The loss of the Nicaraguan Ministryservices of Energy, payable in Nicaragua, in an amount equal to the estimated costany of such exploration sub-period, subject to an accumulated credit carry forward for the excess of work performed in the preceding exploration sub-period, as provided in the Nicaraguan Concession agreements.

Subsequent to the initial award of the Nicaraguan Concessions in 2003, we negotiatedthese individuals could have a number of key terms and conditions of an exploration and production contract covering the approximate 1.4 million acre Tyra (approximately 826,000 acres in the north) and Perlas (approximately 560,000 acres in the south) concession areas offshore Nicaragua. The contract, which was finalized in 2009, contemplates an exploration period of up to six years with four sub-phases and a production period of up to 30 additional years (with a potential five-year extension). We submitted an environmental study in 2011, which was approved in April 2013 by the Nicaraguan government which allowed us to commence our exploration activities. We have acquired new specific geological information from the acquisition of new 2-D and 3-D seismic studies during 2013 and 2014 along with the reprocessing and additional evaluation of existing 2-D seismic data over the Perlas and Tyra Concession blocks.

The following table sets forth the gross and net acres of developed and undeveloped oil and gas leases we held as of December 31, 2014.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in litigation as follows:

Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P., f/k/a Hanover Compression Limited Partnership, which filed an action in the District Court of Erath County, Texas, number CV30512, on March 31, 2010 against Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc., Infinity Energy Resources, Inc., Longhorn Properties, LLC, and Forest Oil Corporation. Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P. provided certain gas compressor and related equipment pursuant to a Gas Compressor/Production Equipment Master Rental & Servicing Agreement with Infinity dated January 3, 2005 in Erath County, Texas and has claiming breach of contract for failure to pay amounts due. On October 13, 2011, a default judgment was entered against us in the amount of $445,521 plus interest and attorney fees. We have included the impacts of this litigation as liabilities in its accounts payable. We will seek to settle the default judgment when we have the financial resources to do so.

In October 2012 the State of Texas filed a lawsuit naming Infinity-Texas, the Company and the corporate officers of Infinity-Texas, seeking $30,000 of reclamation costs associated with a single well, in addition to administrative expenses and penalties. We have engaged in negotiations with the State of Texas in late 2012 and early 2013 and has reached a settlement agreement that would reduce the aggregate liability, in this action and any extension of this to other Texas wells, to $45,103, which amount has been paid. Certain performance obligations remain that must be satisfied in order to finally settle and dismiss the matter.

Pending satisfactory performance of the performance obligations and their acceptance by the State of Texas, the officers retain potential liability on the above matter, and the officers are held personally harmless by our indemnification provisions. Therefore these liabilities, to the extent they might become actual, are our obligations, to the extent of our financial ability. We estimate that the liabilities associated with this matter will not exceed $780,000, calculated as $30,000 for each of the 26 Infinity-Texas operated wells. This related liability, less the payment made to the State of Texas in 2012 in the amount of $45,103, is classified as an asset retirement obligationmaterial adverse effect on our consolidated balance sheets.

Timothy Berge, who filed an action in the District Court, Citybusiness and County of Denver Colorado number 09CV9566, was granted a default judgment on November 8, 2010 against us in the amount of $304,921 plus costs. Mr. Berge provided certain geological services to Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc. and claimed breach of contract for failure to pay amounts he alleged were due. On May 27, 2014 we settled this litigation by the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock and the payment of $10,000 cash. We had previously established a provision of $304,878 related to this litigation as an accrued liability in our accompanying balance sheet. The value of the 100,000 shares of common stock and $10,000 cash paid in settlement of this litigation totaled $125,000, resulting in a gain of $179,878, which was recorded in our statement of operations.

Cambrian Consultants America, Inc. (“Cambrian”) filed an action in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, number CV2014-55719, on September 26, 2014 against us relating to certain professional consulting services provided for quality control and management of seismic operations during November and December 2013 on the Nicaraguan Concessions. Cambrian provided these services under a Master Consulting Agreement with us, dated November 20, 2013, and is claiming breach of contract for failure to pay amounts due. On December 8, 2014, a default judgment was entered against us in the amount of $96,877 plus interest and attorney fees. We have included the impacts of this litigation as liabilities in our accounts payable. We will seek to settle the default judgment when we have the financial resources to do so.

Torrey Hills Capital, Inc. (“Torrey”) notified us by letter dated August 15, 2014 of its demand for the payment of $56,000, which it alleged was unpaid and owed under a consulting agreement, dated October 18, 2013. The parties entered into a consulting agreement under which Torrey agreed to provide investor relations services in exchange for payment of $7,000 per month and the issuance of 15,000 shares of common stock. The agreement was for an initial three month-term with automatic renewals unless terminated upon 30 days’ written notice by either party. We made payments totaling $14,000 and issued the 15,000 shares of common stock during 2013. We contend that Torrey breached the agreement by not performing the required services and that it had provided proper notice of termination to Torrey. Furthermore, we contend that the parties agreed to settle the dispute on or about June 19, 2014, under which it would issue 28,000 shares of common stock in full settlement of any balance then owed and final termination of the agreement. Torrey disputes our contentions and has submitted the dispute to binding arbitration. We have accrued $49,000 in accounts payable as of December 31, 2014, which we believe is sufficient to provide for the ultimate resolution of this dispute.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby.

Loss of the risk factors described below.

services of any of these people could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Our success will be dependent upon our ability to hire and retain additional qualified personnel as we may require. In particular, our exploratory drilling success and the success of other activities integral to our operations will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain experienced engineers and other professionals. Competition for experienced engineers and some other professionals is extremely intense. If we cannot retain our technical personnel or attract additional experienced technical personnel, our ability to compete could be harmed. We will compete with other companies with greater financial and other resources for such personnel.

Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsWe may have difficulty managing growth in our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to execute our business plan in a timely fashion.

Because of our small size, growth in accordance with our business plans, if achieved, will place a significant strain on our financial, technical, operational and management resources. As we expand our activities, including our planned increase in oil exploration, development and production, and increase the number of projects we are evaluating or in which we participate, there will be additional demands on our financial, technical and management resources. The failure to continue to upgrade our technical, administrative, operating and financial control systems or the occurrence of unexpected expansion difficulties, including the inability to recruit and retain experienced managers, geoscientists, petroleum engineers and landmen could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to execute our business plan in a timely fashion.

Our business could be adversely affected by security threats, including cybersecurity threats.

 

We do notface various security threats, including cybersecurity threats to gain unauthorized access to our sensitive information or to render our information or systems unusable, and threats to the security of our facilities and infrastructure or third-party facilities and infrastructure, such as gathering and processing facilities, refineries, rail facilities and pipelines. The potential for such security threats subjects our operations to increased risks that could have any off-balance sheet debt nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations)a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, unauthorized access to our seismic data, reserves information or other relationships with any unconsolidated entitiesproprietary information could lead to data corruption, communication interruptions, or other persons that may have material current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in the financial conditions, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses.disruptions to our operations.

Revenue

 

The Company had no revenues in either 2015 or 2014. It focused solely on the exploration, development and financing of the Nicaraguan Concessions.

 

ProductionThe threat and Other Operating Expenses (income)

The Company had no production related operating expenses in either 2015 or 2014. The Company sold its investment in Infinity-Texas in July 2012, and had no developed oil and gas properties in the United States in 2015 and 2014.

The Company has no current or planned domestic exploration and development activities at this time. It is not actively working on any domestic property, focusing instead on the exploration, development and financingimpact of the Nicaraguan Concessions.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation expenses of $58,360 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased 90% from those in 2014, which were $559,962. The Company has had minimal resources to pay employees, consultants and other service providers. Therefore, it has issued stock options to compensate and motivate its officers, directors and other service providers. The significant decrease in stock-based compensation expense during 2015 compared to 2014 is attributable to the full vesting of the November 2012 stock option grant in November 2014, which eliminated the related amortization during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and lower market price of the Company’s common stock compared to the $3.00 per share exercise price on the date of the most recent stock option grant in January 2014, which is being amortized over two years. The significant decrease in the market price the common stock compared to the $3.00 per share exercise price resulted in substantially less grant date fair value of the January 2014 option grant that deceased the overall amount amortized in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses of $105,869 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased $35,506, or 25% from those in 2014, which were $141,375. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributable to an overall decrease in professional fees of $16,400 as the Company engaged in less legal activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 2014 and changed its auditors and stock transfer agent for cost containment purposes. Reductions in general and administrative expenses was also attributable to us attending less investor conferencesterrorist attacks, cyber-attacks or similar forums during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to 2014.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased from $1,246,134 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $573,083 in 2015. This significant decrease is attributable to the Company converting approximately $575,000 of its interest bearing debt to common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company issued short-term notes payable at the issuance dates and extension dates as additional compensation to the lender. The fair value of the warrants issued to the note holders at the origination date and extension date of the short-term promissory notes was recorded as a discount on the related debt. Amortization of the warrants and revenue sharing interests granted to the holders resulted in a substantial increase in the overall effective borrowing costs during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 2015. Discount amortization represents a non-cash expense and totaled $523,784 and $1,202,516 of total interest expense recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company’s current financial condition has made traditional bank loans and customary financing terms unattainable; therefore, the Companyhostilities may find it necessary to continue with these types of short-term borrowings with high effective interest rates.

23

Change in Derivative Fair Value

The conversion feature of the promissory notes and the common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with such short-term notes during 2015 and 2014 are treated as derivative instruments because the promissory notes and warrants contain ratchet and anti-dilution provisions. Accordingly, we adjusted the value of the outstanding derivative liabilities to fair value as of March 31, 2015 and 2014. The mark-to-market process resulted in a gain of $265,267 during the three months ended December 31, 2015 and a loss of $15,126 during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The gain recognized in 2015 is attributable to the significant reduction in the market value ofadversely impact our common stock experienced during 2015 as compared to 2014. The closing market price of our common stock was $0.37 per share at March 31, 2015 compared to $1.41 per share as of March 31, 2014 which resulted in lower estimates of the warrant’s derivative liabilities.

Other income

Other income increased from $72,835 in for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $171,017 in 2015. Other income in both 2015 and 2014 is primarily related to derecognition of certain liabilities due to the expiration of the statute of limitations on collection of obligations of the Company.

Income Tax

For income tax purposes, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $57,675,000, which expire from 2025 through 2029. The Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance against the resulting deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the tax benefits from its net operating loss carry-forwards.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company realized net losses. The Company anticipates operating losses and additional tax losses for the foreseeable future and does not believe that utilization of its tax loss carryforward is more likely than not. Therefore, because of the uncertainty as to the ultimate utilization of the Company’s loss carryforward, any deferred tax asset at March 31, 2015 that resulted from anticipated benefit from future utilization of such carryforward has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.

Net loss

As a result of the above, we reported a net loss of $301,028 and $1,889,762 for the three months years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, an improvement of $1,588,734 (84%).

Loss applicable to common shareholders

The Company issued Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred effective April 13, 2012. The 6% cumulative dividend accrued as well as the accretion in the value ascribed to the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred (which represents value attributable to holders of the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred rather than common stock) affects the Company’s net loss by $-0- and $25,527 to arrive at net loss applicable to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Series A Preferred was converted to common stock on December 30, 2013 and the Series B Preferred was converted to common stock on February 28, 2014, which reduced the amount of the 6% cumulative dividend accrued in 2015 compared to 2014.

The Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred had a preference over common shareholders and therefore such amounts have been deducted from net loss to report loss applicable to common shareholders of $301,028 and $1,915,289 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents included in the diluted computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock and “if converted” method. For periods in which net losses from continuing operations are incurred, weighted average shares outstanding is the same for basic and diluted loss per share calculations, as the inclusion of common share equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect.

The basic and diluted loss per share was $0.01 and $0.08 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, for the reasons previously noted. All outstanding stock options were considered antidilutive and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 because of the net loss reported for each period. Potential common shares as of March 31, 2015 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share amounted to 8,062,210 shares, which included 3,887,710 outstanding warrants and 4,174,500 outstanding stock options.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013

Results of Operations

Overview

We incurred a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $3,707,052, or $0.15 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $5,587,909, or $0.26 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2013. We issued Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred effective April 13, 2012. The 6% cumulative dividend accrued as well as the accretion in the value ascribed to the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred (which represents value attributable to holders of the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred rather than common stock) affects the our net income (loss) by $(25,527) and $(3,161,043) to arrive at net loss applicable to common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Series A Preferred was converted to common stock on December 30, 2013 and the Series B Preferred was converted to common stock on February 28, 2014, which reduced the amount of the 6% cumulative dividend accrued as well as the accretion in the liquidation value in 2014 compared to 2013.

Revenueoperations.

 

We had had no revenues incannot assess the extent of either 2014the threat or 2013. We focused solelythe potential impact of future terrorist attacks on the exploration, developmentenergy industry in general, and financingon us in particular, either in the short-term or in the long-term. Uncertainty surrounding such hostilities may affect our operations in unpredictable ways, including the possibility that infrastructure facilities, including pipelines and gathering systems, production facilities, processing plants and refineries, could be targets of, the Nicaraguan Concessions.or indirect casualties of, an act of terror, a cyber-attack or electronic security breach, or an act of war.

 

Stock-based compensationFailure to adequately protect critical data and technology systems could materially affect our operations.

 

Stock-based compensation expensesInformation technology solution failures, network disruptions and breaches of $1,087,103 for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased 33% from those in 2013, which were $1,631,098. We had minimal resources to pay employees, consultantsdata security could disrupt our operations by causing delays or cancellation of customer orders, impeding processing of transactions and other service providers. Therefore, we have issued stock options to compensate and motivate our officers, directors and other service providers. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we granted options exercisable to purchase 900,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.00 per share and a term of ten years. A total of 300,000 shares vested immediately, while the remaining 600,000 shares vest at a rate of 300,000 shares for each of the two years thereafter. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we granted options exercisable to purchase 900,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.00 share and a term of ten years. We granted options exercisable to purchase 1,250,000 shares in November 2012 at an exercise price of $3.00 share and a term of nine years, which shares were partially amortized during 2014 and 2013. The options granted in 2012 vested one-third immediately, and one-third on the first and second anniversary of the award (November 2013 and 2014). The significant decrease in stock-based compensation expense during 2013 compared to 2012 is attributable to significantly lower market price of our common stock compared to the $3.00 per share exercise price on the date of grant in January 2014. The significant decreasereporting financial results, resulting in the market price the common stock compared to the $3.00 per share exercise price resulted in substantially less grant date fair valueunintentional disclosure of the January 2014 option grant compared to the 2013 and November 2012 option grants that were partially amortized in 2014.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses of $734,702 for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased $82,497,customer, employee or 10% from those in 2013, which were $817,199. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributable to a decrease of $109,273 in general and administrative expenses related to its Nicaraguan Concessions chiefly because legal fees declined in 2014 compared to 2013. Legal fees attributable to the Nicaraguan Concessions decreased in 2014 compared to 2013 after the Environmental Impact Assessment was accepted by the Nicaraguan government in April 2013, which reduced our need for legal representation in Nicaragua. Reductions in general and administrative expenses relatedinformation, or damage to our Nicaraguan Concessions during 2014 were partially offset by increases in expenses associated with seeking new capital by attending investor conferences or similar forums.

Gain on sale of undeveloped leases

We sold undeveloped acreage under leases in Colorado during 2014 and 2013, which resulted in the gain on sale of asset totaling $10,000 and $68,640, respectively. We held no remaining domestic proved or unproved oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2014.

Gain on settlement of litigation

We settled litigation with Timothy Berge on May 27, 2014 by the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock and the payment of $10,000 cash. We had previously established a provision of $304,878 related to this litigation as an accrued liability representing the amount of the default judgment granted on November 8, 2010 against us. The value of the 100,000 shares of common stock and $10,000 cash paid in settlement of this litigation totaled $125,000, resulting in a gain of $179,878.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased from $832,651 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $3,498,808 in 2014. This significant increase is attributable to our financing our activities in 2013 and 2014 by the issuance of short-term promissory notes bearing interest at 8% per annum together with warrants exercisable to purchase common stock. We were unable to raise long-term capital in 2014 to pay off the short-term promissory notes on their respective maturity dates. We were able to negotiate extensions of the maturity dates on these notes generally by issuing additional warrants exercisable to purchase shares of common stock and, in one case, granting a revenue sharing interest in our Nicaraguan Concessions. The fair value of the warrants and revenue sharing interests issued to the holders at the origination date and extension date of the short-term promissory notes was recorded as a discount on the related debt. Amortization of the warrants and revenue sharing interests granted to the holders resulted in a substantial increase in the overall effective borrowing costs. Discount amortization represents a non-cash expense and totaled $3,317,672 and $776,421 of total interest expense recognized in the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our current financial condition has made traditional bank loans and customary financing terms unattainable; therefore, we may find it necessary to continue with these types of short-term borrowings with high effective interest rates.

Change in Derivative Fair Value

The conversion feature of the promissory notes and the common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with such short-term notes during 2014 and 2013 are treated as derivative instruments because the promissory notes and warrants contain ratchet and anti-dilution provisions. Accordingly, we adjusted the value of the outstanding derivative liabilities to fair value as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. The mark-to-market process resulted in a gain of $1,376,311 during the year ended December 31, 2014 and a loss of $75,017 during the year ended December 31, 2013. The gain recognized in 2014 is attributable to the significant reduction in the market value of our common stock experienced during 2014. The closing market price of our common stock was $0.55 per share at December 31, 2014 compared to $1.39 per share as of December 31, 2013.

Loss on Conversion of Note

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we conducted a private placement of our common stock in which we sold 556,250 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one half of a common stock purchase warrant at a price of $1.60 per unit, for total proceeds of $890,000. One holder of a promissory note issued by us in February 2013 participated in the private placement and converted the principal amount of $125,000 plus accrued interest into 79,170 units. As a result of the conversion, we recognized a loss on conversion of $11,085 during the year ended December 31, 2013. The common stock purchase warrants provide for an exercise price of $2.50 per share, are immediately exercisable and have a term of five years.

Other income

Other income decreased from $218,543 in for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $72,900 in 2014. Other income in both 2014 and 2013 primarily related to derecognition of certain liabilities due to the expiration of the statute of limitations on collection of certain of our obligations.

Income Tax

For income tax purposes, we have net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $57,675,000, which expire from 2025 through 2029. We have provided a 100% valuation allowance against the resulting deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the tax benefits from its net operating loss carry-forwards.

We appealed an assessment of Kansas corporate income tax that had been issued by the Department of Revenue for the tax year ended December 31, 2006 in the amount of approximately $653,000, which was accrued for in the consolidated balance sheet. On July 30, 2013, the Kansas Department of Revenue issued a letter to us advising us that we no longer owed any corporate income tax to the State of Kansas and released the Company from the payment of such taxes. Consequently, the related accrual was reversed and an income tax benefit of $653,000 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2013.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, we realized net losses. We anticipate operating losses and additional tax losses for the foreseeable future and do not believe that the utilization of our tax loss carryforward is more likely than not. Therefore, because of the uncertainty as to the ultimate utilization of our loss carryforward, any deferred tax asset at December 31, 2014 that resulted from anticipated benefit from future utilization of such carryforward has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.

Net loss

As a result of the above, we reported a net loss of $3,681,525 and $2,426,866 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, a deterioration of $1,254,659 (52%).

Loss applicable to common shareholders

We issued Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred effective April 13, 2012. The 6% cumulative dividend accrued as well as the accretion in the value ascribed to the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred (which represents value attributable to holders of the Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred rather than common stock) affects our net loss by $25,527 and $3,161,043 to arrive at net loss applicable to common shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Series A Preferred was converted to common stock on December 30, 2013 and the Series B Preferred was converted to common stock on February 28, 2014, which reduced the amount of the 6% cumulative dividend accrued as well as the accretion in the liquidation value in 2014 compared to 2013.

The Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred had a preference over common shareholders and therefore such amounts have been deducted from net loss to report loss applicable to common shareholders of $3,707,052 and $5,587,909 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents included in the diluted computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock and “if converted” method. For periods in which net losses from continuing operations are incurred, weighted average shares outstanding is the same for basic and diluted loss per share calculations, as the inclusion of common share equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect.

The basic and diluted loss per share was $0.15 and $0.26 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for the reasons previously noted. All outstanding stock options were considered antidilutive and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 because of the net loss reported for each period. Potential common shares as of December 31, 2014 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share amounted to 7,867,210 shares, which included 3,662,710 outstanding warrants and 4,204,500 outstanding stock options.

Liquidity and Capital Resources; Going Concern

We have had a history of losses. We financed our operations primarily through a line of credit with Amegy and Offshore through February 28, 2012, when we entered into definitive agreements with Amegy and Off-Shore relating to outstanding debt and other obligations we owed to them. Effective April 13, 2012, we issued shares of common stock and Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred stock in satisfaction of all the outstanding Amegy and Off-Shore debt, related accrued interest and other fees, and the Amegy Warrant. Although the conversion of Amegy and Offshore debt to equity in 2012 relieved us of a considerable portion of our current liabilities, we continue to have a significant working capital deficit and to experience substantial liquidity issues. Amegy exchanged all of its shares of Series A Preferred, including accrued and unpaid dividends, for shares of common stock as of December 30, 2013 and Offshore converted all of its shares of Series B Preferred, including accrued and unpaid dividends, into shares of common stock on February 28, 2014.

During 2012 we borrowed $250,000 under a short-term credit facility with a related party. We issued an interest-bearing note and common stock purchase warrants in connection with the facility. During 2013 we borrowed approximately $1,825,000 on a short-term basis by issuing various subordinated promissory notes with detachable warrants to purchase common shares. The fair value of the warrants resulted in a substantial increase in the overall effective borrowing costs. We used the proceeds of these notes to repay previously issued notes, including the foregoing related party note, to meet obligations and conduct seismic mapping related to our Nicaraguan Concessions and to provide working capital.

In April 2013, we conducted a private placement of units composed of common stock and warrants under which we raised $890,000 in proceeds and exchanged $125,000 principal amount of an outstanding note plus accrued interest for units. We used part of these proceeds to retire notes issued earlier in 2013.

We were unable to raise long-term capital in 2014 to pay off the majority of the outstanding short-term promissory notes on their respective maturity dates. We were able to negotiate extensions of the maturity dates on these short-term promissory notes by issuing additional warrants exercisable to purchase shares of common stock and, in one case, granting a revenue sharing interest in our Nicaraguan Concessions. See “Recent Issuances of Unregistered Securities.”

As of December 31, 2014, we owed $33,807 on our line-of-credit, which is due in February 2015 and a total of $1,625,000 short term promissory notes that are due: (i) $575,000 in February 2015 and (ii) $1,050,000 in April 2015. In the first quarter 2015, we were able to increase our line-of-credit to a maximum of $100,000, which provided us some liquidity, but were unable to obtain other sources of capital. On February 28, 2015, the short-term note holders exercised their right to convert principal balances totaling $475,000 and accrued interest totaling $28,630 into 1,007,260 shares of common stock at an exchange rate of $0.50 per share. In addition on March 31, 2015, the lender who provides the line-of-credit facility exercised its right to convert a partial principal balance totaling $50,000 into 100,000 shares of common stock at an exchange rate of $0.50 per share. These debt to equity conversions helped to reduce our near term cash needs.

As of March 31, 2015, we owed $46,225 on our line-of-credit, which is due in May 2015 and a total of $1,150,000 short term promissory notes that are due: (i) $100,000 on demand and (ii) $1,050,000 in April 2015. We intend to negotiate extensions of the $1,050,000 note or raise long-term debt or equity capital to retire these notes as they become due, although we can provide no assurances that we will be successful in this regard. Our current financial condition has made traditional bank loans and normal financing terms unattainable; therefore, we may find it necessary to continue with these types of short-term borrowings with high effective interest rates.

On May 7, 2015 we completed the private placement of $12.0 million principal amount Convertible Note and a Warrant to purchase 18,000,000 shares of our common stock with one of the selling stockholders. At the closing the selling stockholder acquired the Convertible Note by paying $450,000 in cash and issuing the Investor Note in the principal amount of $9,550,000, secured by cash. Assuming all amounts payable to us under the Investor Note are paid, the private placement will result in gross proceeds of $9,550,000 before placement agent fees and other expenses associated with the transaction, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. We used the initial proceeds from the closing to retire certain outstanding obligations, including delinquent 2015 area and training fees of approximately $155,000 owed to the Nicaraguan government under the Concessions, provide working capital.

During December 2013 and January 2014, we completed the 2-D and 3-D seismic survey activities in the area as required under both of the Nicaraguan Concessions at such point. In order to meet our obligations under the Nicaraguan Concession, we have until April 2016 to drill our initial exploratory well or risk being in default and potentially losing our rights under the Nicaraguan Concessions.

In accordance with the Concession agreements, we are currently required to provide the Ministry of Energy with letters of credit in the amounts of $1,356,227 for Perlas and $1,818,667 for Tyra, but have not done so. We made all required expenditures related to the Nicaraguan Concessions for the training fees, area fees and other expenditures and as “area fees,” for Tyra and Perlas for the years 2010 through May 2015, but will be required to pay such additional fees for the 2015/2016 period prior to March 2016 of approximately $155,000. Further, we are required to conduct 3-D seismic mapping on the Perlas Concession in Sub-Period 3, which we estimate will cost approximately $2,500,000. Finally, we estimate we will need approximately $100,000 to prepare and submit an environmental supplement to the Nicaraguan government to identify and receive authorization to drill up to five wells in the Concessions.

In addition to the minimum cash requirements related to the Nicaraguan Concessions, we estimate that we will require approximately $330,000 of working capital to maintain corporate operations for the next 12 months, but not including approximately $1,050,000 principal amount of a short-term promissory note due in April 2016, plus accrued interest and the $61,275 currently outstanding under a revolving line of credit due August 2015. We owe $4,945,000 in trade payables related to seismic activities already performed (in December 2013) but not yet paid; however, we believe such party has agreed to extend the time for payment of this obligation to until such time as the Company begins drilling operations on the Nicaraguan Concessions. We also owe other obligations to third parties as noted on our balance sheet, which we intend to pay, negotiate and settle when we begin drilling operations, although there is no assurance that we will be able negotiate settlements with such venders or avoid collection activities.

We are negotiating the renewal and/or adjustment of the required letters of credit with the Nicaraguan Government. Further, we intend to seek a waiver of the 3-D seismic mapping requirement because we do not believe it will be effective in providing additional information due to the water depth and other factors. We plan to prepare the necessary information to submit to the EIA in order to obtain the necessary authorizations to drill up to five locations in the Concessions.reputation. There can be no assurance that wea system failure or data security breach will be successful anynot have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of the foregoing regards. Except for the foregoing items, we believe we are in full compliance with the terms of the Nicaraguan Concessions agreements.operations or cash flows.

We have received a going concern opinion from our auditors.

 

We must raise substantial amounts of debthave an accumulated deficit and equity capitalhave had negative cash flows from our operations. Accordingly, we have received a report from our independent auditors in the immediate future in order to fund: (1) the required letters of credit to the Nicaraguan Government, 3-D seismic and training and other fees; (2) the drilling of at least one exploratory well on the Perlas Block of the Nicaraguan Concessions prior to April 2016 atconnection with our audited financial statements that include an estimated cost of $3.0 million; (3) the payment of normal day-to-day operations and corporate overhead; and (4) payment of outstanding debt and financial obligations as they become due. These are substantial operational and financial issues that must be successfully mitigated during 2015 and 2016 or our ability to satisfy the conditions necessary to maintain its Nicaragua Concessions will be in significant doubt. We are actively seeking new outside sources of debt and equity capital in order fund the substantial needs enumerated above in addition to the funds from the May 2015 Private Placement; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such capital or obtain it on favorable terms or within the timeframe necessary to cure the technical defaults existing on the Nicaraguan Concessions or to meet our ongoing requirements relative to drilling the exploratory wells.

We plan to raise long-term capital to satisfy the foregoing needs through an offering of our equity or debt securities and/or through a commercial relationship with other industry operators, which may involve the granting of revenue or other interests in the Nicaraguan Concessions in exchange for cash and a carried interest in exploration and development operations or the creation of a joint venture or other strategic partnership. There can be no assurance that we will obtain such funding or obtain it on terms acceptable to us. Further, if we cannot meet our obligations respecting the Nicaraguan Concessions, we may lose our rights to them.

Due to the uncertainties related to these matters, there existsexplanatory paragraph describing their substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesOur stockholders will likely not receive any proceeds from our dissolution or the liquidation of our assets.

 

The discussion and analysisIn the event of our financial condition and resultsdissolution or liquidation, the proceeds realized from the liquidation of operations is based uponassets, if any, will be distributed to our consolidated financial statements, which have been preparedcreditors before any distributions are made to stockholders in accordance with accounting principles generally acceptedapplicable state law and our certificate of incorporation, as then in effect. Given our current financial condition, it is unlikely that our stockholders will participate in the United States of America. We believe certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8, “Financial Statements”, of this annual report.

The application of our accounting policies regarding full cost accounting for oil and gas properties (Note 8), accounting for the issuance and valuation of derivative liabilities (Note 6 and 7), accounting for deferred tax assets (Note 9) and estimates involving our stock-based compensation, are considered critical to four accounting estimates made in 2014 and 2013 (Note 5).proceeds from such dissolution or liquidation, if any.

 

OilWe are a party to several lawsuits as a defendant in which we may ultimately not prevail resulting in losses and Gas Properties -The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development activities and capitalizes direct costs, overhead costs and interest relatedmay cause our stock price to such activities. All of the Company’s investment in such costs at December 31, 2014 and 2013 relate to unproved properties that relate to the Nicaraguan Concessions. Management must assess at least annually to ascertain whether impairment of the recorded values has occurred, which involves evaluation of estimates of lease terms for the properties; geographic and geologic data obtained, and estimated future net revenues. For the Nicaraguan Concessions this involves considering terms of the Concessions, status of ongoing environmental study, evaluation of seismic data, and plans to seek industry participation in future exploration and development.decline.

Derivative liabilities -The estimated fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities, all of which are related to the conversion features and detachable warrants issued in connection with notes payable, were estimated using a closed-ended option pricing model utilizing assumptions related to the contractual term of the instruments, estimated volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, interest rates, the probability of both the downward adjustment of the exercise price and the upward adjustment to the number of warrants as provided by the note payable and warrant agreement terms (Note 2 and 6) and non-performance risk factors, among other items (ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) fair value hierarchy Level 3). When the note payable is extinguished, the derivative liability will be adjusted to fair value and the resulting derivative liability will be transitioned from a liability to equity as of such date. None of the notes payable was extinguished during the year ended December 31, 2014. The assumptions used for determining the fair value of derivative liabilities outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are reflected in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial statements.

Deferred income taxes –Accounting for income taxes requires significant estimates and judgments on the part of management. Such estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, the effective tax rate anticipated to apply to tax differences that are expected to reverse in the future, the sufficiency of taxable income in future periods to realize the benefits of net deferred tax assets and net operating losses currently recorded and the likelihood that tax positions taken in tax returns will be sustained on audit.

As required by authoritative guidance, we record deferred tax assets or liabilities based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using currently enacted rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Authoritative guidance also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of December 31, 2013, cumulative valuation allowances in the amount of $24,374,000 were recorded in connection with the net deferred income tax assets. Based on a review of our deferred tax assets and recent operating performance, we determined that our valuation allowance should be increased to $25,788,000 to fully reserve our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2014. We determined that it was appropriate to continue to provide a full valuation reserve on our net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2014 because of the overall net operating loss carryforwards available and our history of operating and tax losses. We expect to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until we determine that we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to realize these assets. To the extent we determine that the realization of some or all of these benefits is more likely than not based upon expected future taxable income, a portion or all of the valuation allowance will be reversed. Such a reversal would be recorded as an income tax benefit and, for some portion related to deductions for stock option exercises, an increase in shareholders’ equity.

As required by authoritative guidance, we have performed a comprehensive review of our portfolio of uncertain tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by the FASB, an uncertain tax position represents our expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. We have no recorded liability as of December 31, 2014 representing uncertain tax positions.

 

We have generated substantial deferred income tax assets relatedare involved as a defendant in routine litigation and administrative proceedings incidental to our operations primarilybusiness from the chargetime to compensation expense taken for stock options, certain tax credit carryforwards and net operating loss carryforwards. For us to realize the income tax benefit of these assets, we must generate sufficient taxable income in future periods when such deductions are allowed for income tax purposes. In some cases where deferred taxes were the result of compensation expense recognized on stock options, our ability to realize the income tax benefit of these assets is also dependent on our share price increasing to a point where these options have intrinsic value at least equal to the grant date fair value and are exercised. In assessing whether a valuation allowance is needed in connection with our deferred income tax assets, we have evaluated our ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to utilize the benefit of the deferred income tax assets. We continue to evaluate our ability to use recorded deferred income tax asset balances. If we fail to generate taxable income for financial reporting in future years, no additional tax benefit would be recognized for those losses, since we will not have accumulated enough positive evidence to support our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards in the future. Therefore, we may be required to increase our valuation allowance in future periods should our assumptions regarding the generation of future taxable income not be realized.

For income tax purposes, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $57,710,000, which expire from 2025 through 2029. The Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of realizing the tax benefits from its net deferred tax asset.

Stock options - We grant stock options to our employees and directors and such benefits provided are share-based payment awards, which require us to make significant estimates related to determining the value of our share-based compensation. Our expected stock-price volatility assumption is based on historical volatilities of the underlying stock obtained from public data sources. We granted options exercisable to purchase 900,000 and 96,000 shares during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The assumptions used for determining the grant-date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2014 are reflected in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial statements.

If factors change and we develop different assumptions in future periods, the compensation expense that we record in the future may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period. There is a high degree of subjectivity involved when using option pricing models to estimate share-based compensation. Changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect our estimates of fair values of our share-based compensation. Certain share-based payment awards, such as employee stock options, may expire worthless or otherwise result in zero intrinsic value compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reportedtime. See “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our financial statements. Alternatively, values may be realized from these instruments that are significantly in excess of the fair values originally estimatedlatest Annual Report on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. Although the fair value of employee share-based awards is determined using an established option pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction.

Due to lack of funds, we have not been noable to defend adequately in certain of these matters. Accordingly, the outcome of any pending cases and proceedings may have a material changesadverse effect on our business or updates to our critical accounting policies.financial condition.

Due to the limited volume of our shares which trade, we believe that our stock prices (bid, ask and closing prices) may not be related to our actual value, and not reflect the actual value of our Common Stock. Stockholders and potential investors in our Common Stock should exercise caution before making an investment in us.

Additionally, as a result of the potential illiquidity and sporadic trading of our Common Stock, investors may not be interested in owning our Common Stock because of the inability to acquire or sell a substantial block of our Common Stock at one time. This may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, a stockholder may not be able to borrow funds using our Common Stock as collateral because lenders may be unwilling to accept the pledge of securities having such a limited market. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for our Common Stock will develop or, if one develops, be sustained.

Our board of directors can authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock, with the effect of diluting then current stockholder interests and impairing their voting rights.

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors, of which 22,776 shares have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock. Our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue additional series of preferred stock with voting powers and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and powers, which may be greater than the shares of Common Stock currently outstanding. As a result, shares of preferred stock may be issued by our board of directors which cause the holders to have majority voting power over our shares of capital stock, provide the holders of the preferred stock the right to convert the shares of preferred stock they hold into shares of our Common Stock, which may cause substantial dilution to our holders of Common Stock then outstanding, and/or have other rights and preferences greater than those of our holders of Common Stock, including having a preference over the holders of our Common Stock with respect to dividends or distributions on liquidation or dissolution. The holders of our shares of Series A Preferred Stock currently rank senior to the Common Stock and any class or series of capital stock created after the Series A Preferred Stock and have a special preference upon the liquidation of the Company. For further information regarding our shares of Series A Preferred Stock, please refer to the Certificate of Designation filed as an exhibit to, and the disclosure contained in, our Current Reports on Form 8-K and 8-K/A filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021 and April 22, 2021, respectively.

Investors should keep in mind that our board of directors has the authority to issue additional shares of Common Stock and preferred stock, which could cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. Additionally, the dilutive effect of any preferred stock which we may issue may be exacerbated given the fact that such preferred stock may have voting rights and/or other rights or preferences which could provide the preferred stockholders with substantial voting control over us subsequent to the date of this prospectus and/or give those holders the power to prevent or cause a change in control, even if that change in control might benefit our stockholders. As a result, the issuance of shares of Common Stock and/or preferred stock may cause the value of our securities to decrease.

Our directors and officers have rights to indemnification.

While the members of our board of directors and our officers are generally accountable to us and our stockholders, the liability of our directors and officers to us, our stockholders and third parties is limited in certain respects under applicable state law and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as in effect in the date hereof. Further, we may agree to indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities not attributable to certain limited circumstances. Such limitation of liability and indemnity may limit rights which our stockholders would otherwise have to seek redress against our directors and officers.

HoldersOur outstanding options, warrants, convertible promissory notes, and shares of Series A Preferred Stock may adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock.

As of July 20, 2021, there are outstanding stock options to purchase an aggregate of 2,077,000 shares of our Common Stock, at a weighted average price per share of $5.73, outstanding warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 12,480,784 shares of our Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.46 (including the Warrant Shares offered hereby), $28,665 in principal amount owed under the outstanding Notes, which are convertible into an aggregate of 57,330 shares of Common Stock, excluding accrued interest, and 22,776 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. For the duration of time during which such options, warrants, Notes and shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible or exercisable, as applicable, the holders have the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our Common Stock without assuming the risk of ownership. The issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion or exercise, as applicable, of such outstanding options, warrant, Notes and shares of Series a Preferred Stock will also dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders.

The availability of such shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion or exercise for public resale, as well as any actual resales of these shares, could adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock.

We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our Common Stock pursuant to the exercise or conversion, as applicable, of outstanding options, warrants, Notes, shares of Series A Preferred Stock or conversion or exercise of other securities, or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of shares of our Common Stock may have on the market price of our Common Stock. Sales or distributions of substantial amounts of our Common Stock (including shares issued in connection with an acquisition), or the perception that such sales could occur, may cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.

We will have broad discretion as to any proceeds that we receive from the cash exercise by any holders of the Warrants, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.

 

At June 10, 2015, there wereWe will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Series A Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares or Note Conversion Shares by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. We may receive up to approximately 150 stockholders$5,316,497 in aggregate gross proceeds from cash exercises of recordthe Warrants, based on the $0.39 per share exercise prices of the March Warrants, and the $0.50 per share exercise prices of the August Warrant and the Creditor Warrants, and to the extent that we receive such proceeds, we intend to use such proceeds for development of our common stock.Properties and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We have considerable discretion in the application of such proceeds. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether such proceeds are being used in a manner agreeable to you. You must rely on our judgment regarding the application of such proceeds, which may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our profitability or increase the price of our shares of Common Stock. Such proceeds may also be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value. The failure to use such funds by us effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

 

Dividend PolicyA large number of shares of Common Stock may be sold in the market following this offering, which may significantly depress the market price of our Common Stock.

The Series A Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and Note Conversion Shares sold in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. As a result, a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may be sold in the public market following this offering. If there are significantly more shares of Common Stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our Common Stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered Common Stock and sellers remain willing to sell our Common Stock.

Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders collectively own a significant percentage of our Common Stock and could be able to exert control over matters subject to stockholder approval.

As of July 20, 2021, our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders (greater than 5% stockholders), together with their affiliates, beneficially own approximately 62.1% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, these stockholders, if they act together, will be able to exert a significant degree of influence over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, the amendment of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in our control and might affect the market price of our Common Stock, even when a change in control may be in the best interest of all stockholders. Furthermore, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders. Accordingly, these stockholders could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider.

29

We have never declared or paid dividends on our Common Stock and have no plans to do so in the near future, however, we do intend to declare and pay dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Designation.

 

Holders of common stockshares of our Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our Boardboard of Directors. Wedirectors and holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends pursuant to the Certificate of Designation. The Certificate of Designation requires us to pay cash dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock on a quarterly basis, or at our option, pay such dividends in shares of Common Stock. To date, we have not declared or paid cash dividends on our shares of Common Stock or on our shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. We do not expect to declare or pay cash dividends on our shares of Common Stock in the near future. We expect to declare and pay cash dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock at the beginning of each calendar quarter as required in the Certificate of Designation. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for operation of our business. Therefore, any return investors in our Common Stock will have to be in the form of appreciation, if any, in the market value of their shares of Common Stock. See “Dividend Policy.”

The price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a limited public float.

The market price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile because there has been a relatively thin trading market for our Common Stock, which causes trades of small blocks of stock to have a significant impact on the price of our Common Stock. You may not be able to resell shares of our Common Stock following periods of volatility because of the market’s adverse reaction to such volatility.

Factors that could cause such volatility may include, among other things:

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
quarterly variations in the rate of growth of our financial indicators, or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us;
the potential absence of securities analysts covering us and distributing research and recommendations about us;
speculation in the press or investment community;
public reaction to our press releases, announcements concerning our business or those of our competitors or customers, and filings with the SEC;
we expect our actual operating results to fluctuate widely as we increase our sales and production capabilities and other operations;
low trading volume for our Common Stock;
overall stock market fluctuations;
general financial market conditions and oil and natural gas industry market conditions, including fluctuations in commodity prices;
the realization of any of the risk factors presented in this prospectus;
our ability to raise capital when we require it, and to raise such capital on favorable terms;

30

our outstanding indebtedness;
we have no institutional line-of-credit available to fund our operations and we may be unable to obtain a line of credit under terms that are mutually agreeable;
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform as anticipated by the analysts;
conditions or trends in the industry, including the prices of oil and natural gas;
litigation;
changes in market valuations of other similar companies;
announcements by us or our competitors of new products or of significant technical innovations, contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures;
future sales of Common Stock;
actions initiated by the SEC or other regulatory bodies;
the success of our exploration and development operations, and the marketing of any oil and natural gas we produce;
departure of key personnel or failure to hire key personnel; and
domestic and international economic, health, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance.

Any of these factors could have a significant and adverse impact on the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, the stock market in general has at times experienced extreme volatility and rapid decline that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

If securities or industry analyst do not publish research reports about our business, or if they downgrade our stock, the price of our Common Stock could decline.

Small, relatively unknown companies can achieve visibility in the trading market through research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish. To our knowledge there are no independent analysts who cover us. The lack of published reports by independent securities analysts could limit the interest in our Common Stock and negatively affect our stock price. Even if we did have such coverage, we would not have any control over the research and reports any analysts might publish. If any analyst who did cover us downgrades our stock, our stock price could decline. If any analyst who had been covering us ceases coverage of us or failed to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

Future sales of our Common Stock may depress our stock price.

We can make no prediction as to the effect, if any, that future sales of our Common Stock, or the availability of our Common Stock for future sales, will have on the market price of our Common Stock. Sales in the public market of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Common Stock. The potential effect of such shares of Common Stock being sold may be to depress the price at which our Common Stock trades.

PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

August 2020 Private Placement of Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note and August Warrant

On August 19, 2020, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “August Purchase Agreement”) with one of the Selling Stockholders (the “August Investor”), pursuant to which we issued to the August Investor, in consideration for an aggregate of $325,000, (i) a senior unsecured convertible note payable due August 19, 2021 (the “August Note”), which was, subject to certain conditions, convertible into an aggregate of 3,943,820 shares of Common Stock, at a price of $0.10 per share; and (ii) the August Warrant, which is immediately exercisable upon issuance and on a cashless basis if the August Warrant has not been registered 180 days after the date of issuance for up to 800,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, subject to customary adjustments. Pursuant to the August Purchase Agreement, the August Note and August Warrant were issued to the August Investor in a private placement transaction pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Pursuant to the August Purchase Agreement, the August Investor was also granted certain piggy-back registration rights, whereby we agreed to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the August Warrant and the August Note. We repaid the August Note on March 26, 2021. In order to satisfy such obligations, the Company is filing this registration statement to register for resale all of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the August Warrant issued to the August Investor.

The exercise of the August Warrant is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation such that the August Investor may not exercise the August Warrant to the extent that such exercise would result in the August Investor being the beneficial owner in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election of the August Investor, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased or decreased up to 9.99% upon notice to us, provided that any increase in such limitation will not be effective until 61 days following notice to us.

Additionally, pursuant to the August Purchase Agreement, for so long as the August Note or August Warrant is outstanding, the August Investor has a right to participate in any issuance of the Common Stock, Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the August Purchase Agreement), conventional debt, or a combination of such securities and/or debt (a “Subsequent Financing”), up to an amount equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of the Subsequent Financing.

March 2021 Private Placement of Shares of Series A Preferred Stock and March Warrants

On March 16, 2021, we entered into securities purchase agreements (collectively, the “March Purchase Agreements”) with certain of the Selling Stockholders (collectively, the “March Investors”), pursuant to which, in consideration for an aggregate of $2,050,000, we issued an aggregate of 22,776 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and March Warrants exercisable for up to 5,256,410 shares of Common Stock six (6) months following issuance and for five years after such date. Holders of the March Warrants may exercise them on a cashless basis pursuant to the formula provided in the March Warrants if there is not an effective registration statement for the sale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the March Warrants upon the date on which such Creditor Warrants are exercisable. Such securities were issued to March Investors in a private placement transaction pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right, at any time and subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, to convert some or all of their outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any accrued but unpaid dividends into that number of shares of Common Stock on a per share basis by dividing $100 (the Stated Value per share of Series A Preferred Stock) by $0.32 (the “Conversion Price”), which Conversion Price is subject to adjustment as described therein. In addition, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any accrued but unpaid dividends will automatically convert, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, upon the closing of any equity financing transaction pursuant to which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000 that is consummated after the initial date of issuance of such shares (a “Qualified Offering”), into the same securities issued by the Company in such Qualified Offering. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, such holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in cash or in shares of Common Stock at a rate of 10% per annum, based on the Stated Value, commencing on April 1, 2021, pro-rated, and continuing on each July 1st, October 1st, and January 1st thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are converted into shares of Common Stock or (ii) the date the Company’s obligations under the Certificate of Designation have been satisfied in full. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock also (i) vote on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, (ii) are redeemable in cash at the option of the Company at any time, along with all accrued but unpaid dividends, (iii) rank senior to the Common Stock and any class or series of capital stock authorized or designated after the Series A Preferred Stock and (iv) have a special preference upon the liquidation of the Company.

In connection with the March Purchase Agreement, we and such Selling Stockholders entered into that certain registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement to register the Preferred Shares and the Warrant Shares underlying the March Warrants. In order to satisfy such obligations, the Company is filing this registration statement to register for resale all of the Preferred Shares and Warrant Shares issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and upon exercise of the March Warrants issued to the March Investors.

Holders of the Creditor Warrants may exercise them on a cashless basis pursuant to the formula provided in the Creditor Warrants if there is not an effective registration statement for the sale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Creditor Warrants upon the date on which such Creditor Warrants are exercisable. We also granted the Creditors certain piggy-back registration rights pursuant to the Notes and the Creditor Warrants, whereby we agreed to register the resale by the Creditors of the shares underlying the Notes and the Creditor Warrants pursuant to the Notes and Creditor Warrants. Such securities were issued to the Creditors in a private placement transaction pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

The Note bears interest at a rate of 3% per annum, may be voluntarily repaid in cash in full or in part by us at any time in an amount equal to the face amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes (or portion thereof) being prepaid, and matures on March 30, 2026.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The shares of Common Stock being offered for resale by the Selling Stockholders named herein consist of the Series A Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Note Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes, including all interest to accrue on such Notes. For additional information regarding the issuance of the Securities, including the Series A Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and Note Conversion Shares, see the section entitled “Private Placements” on page 32. We are registering the Series A Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and Note Conversion Shares in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer such shares of Common Stock for resale from time to time. Except for the transactions described in the section entitled “Private Placements”, and as disclosed in this section under “Material Relationships with Selling Stockholders,” the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us or our affiliates within the past three years.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to each Selling Stockholder, including (i) the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder prior to this offering, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus and (iii) the Selling Stockholders’ beneficial ownership of our outstanding shares of Common Stock after completion of this offering. The registration of the Series A Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and Note Conversion Shares issuable or issued to the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, Notes or Warrants, as applicable, does not necessarily mean that the Selling Stockholders will sell all or any of such shares of Common Stock, but the number of shares of Common Stock and percentages set forth in the final two columns below assume that all shares of Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders are sold. The final two columns also assume, as of July 20, 2021, conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock, full conversion of the Notes and full exercise of the Warrants, without regard to any limitations on conversion or exercise, as applicable. See “Plan of Distribution.”

The table is based on information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholders, with beneficial ownership and percentage ownership determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of Common Stock. This information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a Selling Stockholder and the percentage ownership of that Selling Stockholder, shares of Common Stock subject to securities held by that Selling Stockholder that are exercisable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock within 60 days after July 20, 2021, are deemed outstanding. Such shares of Common Stock, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other stockholder.

On May 13, 2020, the Company borrowed $41,000 from Mr. Ross in the form of an unsecured promissory note bearing 6% interest and due on demand. The proceeds were used for general working capital purposes. The entire principal balance of the note was retired on August 19, 2020 and there is no remaining balance as of December 31, 2020.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Selling Stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of the Series A Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and Note Conversion Shares under this prospectus and we will not receive any of such proceeds. We may receive up to $5,316,496.99 in aggregate gross proceeds from cash exercises of the Warrants, based on the $0.39 per share exercise prices of the March Warrants, and the $0.50 per share exercise prices of the August Warrant and the Creditor Warrants. Any proceeds that we receive from the exercise of the Warrants will be used for development of the Properties and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Selling Stockholders will pay any agent’s commissions and expenses they incur for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses that they incur in disposing of the Series A Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and Note Conversion Shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. These may include, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws.

We cannot predict when or if the Warrants will be exercised, and it is possible that the Warrants may expire and never be exercised. In addition, the August Warrant is exercisable on a cashless basis 180 days after the date of issuance if at the time of exercise the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of shares of Common Stock underlying such warrant. The March Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis 6 months after the date of issuance if at the time of exercise there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the issuance of shares of Common Stock underlying such warrants. The Creditor Warrants are exercisable immediately on a cashless basis if at the time of exercise there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the issuance of shares underlying such warrants. As a result, we may never receive meaningful, or any, cash proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants, and we cannot plan on any specific uses of any proceeds we may receive beyond the purposes described herein.

See “Plan of Distribution” elsewhere in this prospectus for more information.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any dividends on our Common Stock.

The March Purchase Agreement and the Certificate of Designation provide for the payment of dividends, in (i) cash, or (ii) shares of Common Stock, to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, of 10% per annum, based on the Stated Value, commencing on April 1, 2021, until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are converted into Common Stock or (ii) date the Company’s obligations under the Certificate of Designation have been satisfied in full (the “Dividend Termination Date”). Such dividends shall accrue and be compounded daily on the basis of a 360-day day year and twelve (12) 30-day months and be paid either promptly upon the occurrence of an event of default, after conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock or on the Dividend Termination Date, if the Series A Preferred Stock has not been converted prior to the Dividend Termination Date. No other dividends shall be paid on shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. As of the date of this prospectus, $13,104 of dividends have accrued on such shares and are unpaid, while $60,528 of dividends have been paid on such shares.

Other than as described above, we currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for the operation and expansion of our business and, therefore, we do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends on our commoncapital stock in the nearforeseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration andThe payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then-existing conditions, including our financial condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, businessfinancial condition, prospects, contractual arrangements, any limitations on payment of dividends present in our future debt agreements, and such other factors as the board deems relevant.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On January 16, 2015, we were notified by L.L. Bradford & Company (“Bradford”) that the firm resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm. In connection with the resignation, Bradford informed us that it would no longer service SEC reporting companies because partners in its SEC practice moved to RBSM, LLP. Except as noted in the paragraph immediately below, the report of Bradford on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

The report provided by Bradford in connection with our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year-ended December 31, 2013, contained an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

There were no disagreements between us and Bradford on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Bradford, would have caused Bradford to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on our financial statements; and there were no other reportable events as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

As reported above, on January 16, 2015, the Audit Committee appointed RBSM, LLP to be our independent registered public accountant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. During the two most recent completed fiscal years and through January 21, 2015, neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted with RBSM, LLP regarding any of the following: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and none of the following was provided to us (a) a written report, or (b) oral advise that RBSM, LLP concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (iii) any matter that was subject of a disagreement, as the term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Family Relationships

There is no family relationship between any of our directors, director nominees and executive officers.

Board of Directors and Committee Meetings

Our Board of Directors held three meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. In addition, our Board of Directors acted by unanimous written consent fourteen times during fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Our directors attended all of the meetings of the Board of Directors. Our directors are expected, absent exceptional circumstances, to attend all Board meetings.

Committees of the Board of Directors

We do not have Audit, Compensation or Nominating and Governance Committees. Our full Board of Directors discharges the duties that such committees would normally have. We do not have such committees because of our stage of operations and because our Board of Directors consists of only three members.

Our Board is comprised of three Directors, one of whom is independent, as defined by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The members of our Board of Directors are Stanton E. Ross, Leroy C. Richie and Daniel F. Hutchins. The Board of Directors determined that Mr. Richie qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is independent as noted above.

Stanton E. Ross, Leroy C. Richie and Daniel F. Hutchins are the directors of the Company. Messrs. Ross and Hutchins are not considered “independent” in accordance with rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Richie is independent in accordance with the NASDAQ and SEC rules. We are currently traded on the OTC QB, which does not require that a majority of the board be independent. If we ever become an issuer whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange or on an automated inter-dealer quotation system of a national securities association, which has independent director requirements, we intend to comply with all applicable requirements relating to director independence.

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and non-audit services performed by the Company’s independent accountants must be approved in advance by the Board to assure that such services do not impair the accountants’ independence from the Company. Our full board of directors performs the equivalent functions of an audit committee, therefore, no policies or procedures other than those required by SEC rules on auditor independence, have been implemented.

Board of Directors’ Role in the Oversight of Risk Management

We face a variety of risks, including credit, liquidity and operational risks. In fulfilling its risk oversight role, our Board of Directors focuses on the adequacy of our risk management process and overall risk management system. Our Board of Directors believes that an effective risk management system will (i) adequately identify the material risks that we face in a timely manner; (ii) implement appropriate risk management strategies that are responsive to our risk profile and specific material risk exposures; (iii) integrate consideration of risk and risk management into our business decision-making; and (iv) include policies and procedures that adequately transmit necessary information regarding material risks to senior executives and, as appropriate, to the Board or relevant committee.

Our Board of Directors oversees risk management for us. Accordingly, the Board schedules time for periodic review of risk management, in addition to its other duties. In this role, the Board receives reports from management, certified public accountants, outside legal counsel, and to the extent necessary, from other advisors, and strives to generate serious and thoughtful attention to our risk management process and system, the nature of the material risks we face, and the adequacy of our policies and procedures designed to respond to and mitigate these risks.

Code of Ethics and Conduct

Our Board of Directors has adopted aCode of Ethics and Conductthat is applicable to all of our employees, officers and directors. OurCode of Ethics and Conductis intended to ensure that our employees act in accordance with the highest ethical standards. A copy of ourCode of Ethics and Conductmay be obtained by sending a written request to us at 11900 College Blvd., Suite 310, Overland Park, KS 66210; Attn: President and theCode of Ethics and Conduct is filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of our common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission reports of ownership of, and transactions in, our securities and to provide us with copies of those filings. To our knowledge, based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2014, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with during fiscal year 2014, except that Mr. Ross had one late filing in which he failed to report one transaction timely.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 the Company was billed $-0- for such services. Total amounts accrued for his indirect compensation was $762,407 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Compensation Policies and Objectives

We structure compensation for executive officers, including the named executive officers, to drive performance, to accomplish both our short-term and long-term objectives, and to enable us to attract, retain and motivate well qualified executives by offering competitive compensation and by rewarding superior performance. We also seek to link our executives’ total compensation to the interests of our shareholders. To accomplish this, our board of directors relies on the following elements of compensation, each of which is discussed in more detail below:

salary;
annual performance-based cash awards;
equity incentives in the form of stock and/or stock options; and
other benefits.

Our board of directors believes that our executive compensation package, consisting of these components, is comparable to the compensation provided in the market in which we compete for executive talent and is critical to accomplishing our recruitment and retention aims.

In setting the amounts of each component of an executive’s compensation and considering the overall compensation package, the Committee generally considers the following factors:

Benchmarking—For executive officers, the board of directors considers the level of compensation paid to individuals in comparable executive positions of other oil and gas exploration and production companies of a similar size. The board of directors believes that these companies are the most appropriate for review because they are representative of the types of companies with which we compete to recruit and retain executive talent. The information reviewed by the board of directors includes data on salary, annual and long-term cash incentive bonuses and equity compensation, as well as total compensation.

Internal Equity—The board of directors considers the salary level for each executive officer and each position in overall management in order to reflect their relative value to us.

Individual Performance—The board of directors considers the individual responsibilities and performance of each named executive officer, which is based in part on the board of directors’ assessment of that individual’s performance as well as the evaluation of the individual by the Chief Executive Officer.

All executive officers are eligible for annual cash bonuses and equity incentive awards that reinforce the relationship between pay and performance by conditioning compensation on the achievement of the Company’s short- and long-term financial and operating goals, including operating profits, reserve finding costs, and growth in the Company’s daily oil and gas production and estimated proved, probable and possible recoverable oil and gas reserves.

Components of Executive Compensation

The following provides an analysis of each element of compensation, what each element is designed to reward and why the board of directors chose to include it as an element of our executive compensation.

Salaries

Salaries for executive officers are intended to incentivize the officers to focus on executing the Company’s day-to-day business and are reviewed annually. Changes are typically effective in April of each year and are based on the factors discussed above. Compensation arrangements with Mr. Hutchins were determined through arms-length negotiations.

Annual Bonuses

The awarding of annual bonuses to executives is at the Committee’s discretion. The objective of the annual bonus element of compensation is to align the interest of executive officers with the achievement of superior Company performance for the year and also to encourage and reward extraordinary individual performance. In light of the Company’s operating results for 2014 and 2013, the Committee determined that it was appropriate not to grant annual bonuses to the executive officers for 2014 and 2013.

Stock Options

Including an equity component in executive compensation closely aligns the interests of the executives and our shareholders and rewards executives consistent with shareholder gains. Stock options produce value for executives only if our stock price increases over the exercise price, which is set at the market price on the date of grant. Also, through vesting and forfeiture provisions, stock options serve to encourage executive officers to remain with the Company. Awards made other than pursuant to the annual equity grants are typically made to newly hired or recently promoted employees.

In determining the stock option grants for Messrs. Ross and Hutchins, the Board considered the number of options previously granted that remained outstanding, the number and value of shares underlying the options being granted and the related effect on dilution. The Board also took into account the number of shares that remained available for grant under our stock incentive plans. Messrs. Ross and Hutchins were not granted stock options during the year ended December 31, 2013. Messrs. Ross and Hutchins were granted option to purchase 600,000 and 150,000 shares of common stock, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2014. Information regarding all outstanding equity awards as of December 31, 2014 for the named executive officers is set forth below in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End” table.

Other Elements of Executive Compensation

We have not provided cash perquisites to our executive officers given our limited funds.

On June 6, 2009, the Company entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement with the officers and directors for services provided. Infinity assigned to officers and directors a monthly payment (the “RSP”) equal to the revenue derived from one percent (1%) of 8/8ths of Infinity’s share of the hydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The RSP shall bear its proportionate share of all costs incurred to deliver the hydrocarbons to the point of sale to an unaffiliated purchaser, including its share of production, severance and similar taxes, and certain additional costs. The RSP shall be paid by the last day of each month based on the revenue received by Infinity from the purchaser of the production during the previous month from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Revenue Agreement does not create any obligation for Infinity to maintain or develop the Nicaraguan Concessions, and does not create any rights in the Nicaraguan Concessions for officers and directors.deem relevant.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCEDESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES THAT THE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS ARE OFFERING

 

The charterSelling Stockholders are offering for the Company’s Audit Committee includes a requirement for the Audit Committeeresale up to review and approve any transaction involving the Company and a related party at least once a year or upon any significant change in the transaction or relationship. For these purposes, a “related party transaction” includes any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

The Company currently does not have any employees other than the CEO and CFO. Certain general and administrative services (for which payment is deferred) has been provided by the CFO’s accounting firm at its standard billing rates plus out-of-pocket expenses and consist primarily of accounting, tax and other administrative fees. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company was billed $0 for such services. The amount due to the CFO’s firm for services provided was $767,407 at December 31, 2014 and 2013 and is included in accrued liabilities at both dates.

On June 6, 2009 the Company entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement with the Messrs. Ross, Hutchins and Richie for services provided. Infinity assigned to the officers and directors a monthly payment equal to the revenue derived from one percent (1%) of Infinity’s share of the hydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The RSP will bear its proportionate share of all costs incurred to deliver the hydrocarbons to the point of sale to an unaffiliated purchaser, including its share of production, severance and similar taxes, and certain additional costs. The RSP shall be paid by the last day of each month based on the revenue received by Infinity from the purchaser of the production during the previous month from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Revenue Agreement does not create any obligation for Infinity to maintain or develop the Nicaraguan Concessions, and does not create any rights in the Nicaraguan Concessions for officers and directors.

The Company entered into a subordinated loan with Off-Shore in the aggregate amount of $1,275,000 for funds used to maintain the Nicaraguan Concessions. This note was satisfied by the Company’s issuance of shares of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock effective April 13, 2012 to Off-Shore and the conversion of the Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock to common stock effective February 28, 2014. The managing partner of Off-Shore and the CFO are partners in the accounting firm which the Company uses for general corporate purposes. In the February 2014 transaction, Offshore exchanged all of its 15,016 shares of Series B preferred stock for 375,400 shares of common stock. Each share of Series B preferred had a liquidation and par value of $100. The Company also issued Offshore an additional 45,048 shares of common stock for $180,192, the amount of the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B preferred stock as of the effective date of the transaction. As a result, the Company issued a total of 420,448 shares of common stock valued at $4.00 per share for a total of $1,681,792, which has been reflected as common stock and additional paid in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the aforementioned $1,275,000 subordinated secured promissory note, Off-Shore was granted a one percent (1%) revenue sharing interest in the Nicaraguan Concessions. The managing partner of Off-Shore and the CFO are partners in the accounting firm which the Company uses for general corporate purposes. The revenue sharing interest remains in effect after the conversion of the subordinated promissory note to7,117,500 Series A preferred stock and subsequently to common stock. In connection with its dissolution Off-Shore assigned its RSP to its individual members, which includes the former managing partner of Offshore.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had accrued compensation to its officers and directors of $1,187,208 and $1,081,708, respectively.

The Company entered into a line-of-credit facility on September 23, 2013 which provides for borrowings on a revolving basisConversion Shares, up to a maximum of $50,000 (maximum increased11,789,404 Warrant Shares, up to $100,000 at December 31, 2013) with an initial maturity of November 23, 2013. The entity providing the credit facility is owned by an officer of another corporation for which Infinity’s president and chairman of the board serves as president and chairman of the board. The facility is unsecured, bears interest at 8% per annum, and was renewed at its maturity on November 23, 2013 for an additional two months or until January 23, 2014. On such date the parties renewed the credit facility until April 23, 2014 and subsequently renewed it until February 28, 2015. In consideration for the origination of the line of credit facility and the various renewals, the Company granted the lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 450,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (as amended on January 23, 2014), which warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on various dates from September 23, 2018 to October 23, 2019 (as amended). The parties agreed as a condition to the renewal of the facility in January 2014 that all warrants would be extended to a five-year term and the exercise price reduced to $1.50 per share.

On March 7, 2014 the Company borrowed $10,000 from an individual who is related to Infinity’s Chairman and President. The note was due on demand and bore interest at 8% per annum. This demand note was repaid in full during April 2014.

Stanton E. Ross, Leroy C. Richie and Daniel F. Hutchins are the directors of the Company. Messrs. Ross and Hutchins are not considered “independent” in accordance with rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Richie is independent in accordance with the NASDAQ and SEC rules. We are traded on the OTCQB, which does not require that a majority of the board be independent. If we ever become an issuer whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange or on an automated inter-dealer quotation system of a national securities association, which has independent director requirements, we intend to comply with all applicable requirements relating to director independence.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Our certificate of incorporation provides that, subject to any rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, our directors may without actionbe removed from office by our stockholders prior to the expiration of his or her term of office only for cause. Any vacancies on the board of directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause will be issuedfilled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, or by a sole remaining director, even though less than a quorum of the board of directors. Furthermore, our bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors will be fixed from time to time exclusively by resolutions adopted by the board of directors.

Our certificate of incorporation also provide that only our chairman of the board of directors, chief executive officer, president or any officer of the Company upon the written request of a majority of the board of directors, or as provided in the bylaws, by a majority of the board of directors, may call a special meeting of stockholders.

The combination of these provisions makes it more difficult for our existing stockholders to replace our board of directors from timeas well as for another party to time in one or more series for such consideration and with such relative rights, privileges and preferences asobtain control of us by replacing our board of directors may determine. Accordingly,directors. Since our board of directors has the power to fixretain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the dividend rate and to establish the provisions, if any, relating to voting rights, redemption rate, sinking fund, liquidation, preferences and conversion rights for any seriesauthorization of undesignated preferred stock issued in the future.

It is notmakes it possible to state the actual effect of any future series of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of the common stock becausefor our board of directors has the power to determine the specific rights of the holders of any future series of preferred stock. Our board of directors’ authority to issue preferred stock provides a convenient vehiclewith voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.

These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in connection with possible acquisitionsthe composition of our board of directors and other corporate purposes, butits policies and to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to hostile takeovers and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making it more difficulttender offers for our shares and may have the effect of delaying changes in our control or management. As a third partyconsequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. We believe that the benefits of these provisions, including increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire a majorityor restructure our Company, outweigh the disadvantages of our outstanding voting stock. Accordingly, the issuancediscouraging takeover proposals, because negotiation of the preferred stock may be used astakeover proposals could result in an “anti-takeover” device without further action on the partimprovement of our stockholders and may adversely affect the holders of the common stock.their terms.

Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction or a principal transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities covered hereby, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated May 7, 2015, bythis prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and between us and one ofany broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the selling stockholders that is an “accredited investor”securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of 1933, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”). The May 2015 Private Placement was made pursuantthe securities purchased by them may be deemed to an exemption from registration under such Act. At the closing, such selling stockholder acquired the Note by paying $450,000 in cash and issuing a secured promissory note, secured by cash, with an aggregate initial principal amount of $9,550,000 (the “Investor Note”). Assuming all amounts payable to usbe underwriting commissions or discounts under the Investor NoteSecurities Act. We are paid withoutrequesting that each Selling Stockholder inform us that it does not have any offsetwritten or default,oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the May 2015 Private Placementsecurities. We will result in gross proceeds of $10.0 million before Placement Agentpay certain fees and other expenses associated with the transaction, subjectincurred by us incident to the satisfaction of certain conditions. We used the proceeds from the private placement to retire certain outstanding obligations, including the 2015 area and training fees relating to the Concessions, and to provide working capital.

We will receive the remaining cash proceeds upon each voluntary or mandatory prepaymentregistration of the Investor Note. The selling stockholdersecurities.

Because the Selling Stockholders may at its option and at any time, voluntarily prepaybe deemed to be an “underwriter” within the Investor Note, in whole or in part. The Investor Note is also subject to mandatory prepayment, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of one or moremeaning of the following mandatory prepayment events:

(1)Mandatory Prepayment upon Conversion – At any time the selling stockholder has converted more than $2.0 million principal amount of the Note, representing the original issue discount of the Note, the selling stockholder will be required to prepay the Investor Note, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for each subsequent conversion of the Note.

(2)Mandatory Prepayment upon Mandatory Prepayment Notices – We may require the selling stockholder to prepay the Investor Note by delivering a mandatory prepayment notice to the selling stockholder, subject to (i) the satisfaction of certain equity conditions, (ii) our receipt of all Governmental Authorizations, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, necessary to commence drilling on at least five Properties, also as defined in the Purchase Agreement, within the Nicaraguan Concessions, and (iii) our obtaining forbearance agreements from certain third parties to whom we owe obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may not request a mandatory prepayment if after giving effect to such proposed mandatory prepayment, we and our subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, would hold more than $4.0 million in cash or if prepayment under the Investor Note for the preceding sixty calendar day period would exceed $2.0 million.

Under the terms of the Convertible Note, the aggregate principal outstanding consists of unrestricted principal and restricted principal. The unrestricted principal represents such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Note that was acquired by the selling stockholder by payment of cash to the Company. The restricted principal represents such portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Note that was acquired by the selling stockholder by issuance and delivery of the Investor Note to the Company. The aggregate restricted principal outstanding under the Convertible Note on its issuance date equals the aggregate principal outstanding under the Investor Note as of its issuance date and equals the amount of cash, in U.S. dollars, securing the Investor Note. Consequently, as cash in U.S. dollars has a fair market value equal to the aggregate amount of such cash, the fair market value of the cash collateral securing the Investor Note equals the aggregate principal outstanding under the Investor Note as of its issuance date and the aggregate restricted principal outstanding under the Convertible Note on its issuance date. No portion of the restricted principal of the Convertible Note may be converted into shares of Common Stock until such corresponding portion of the Investor Note has been prepaid and the Company shall have received the related cash with respect thereto. The Investor Note is a full recourse note against the selling stockholder issuing it.

Description of the Convertible Note

The Convertible Note ranks senior to our existing and future indebtedness and is secured by all of our assets, excluding the Nicaraguan Concessions, and to the extent and as provided in the security documents attached hereto as Exhibits.

The Convertible Note is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The Convertible Note matures on the three-year anniversary of the issuance date thereof. If we issue or sell shares of our common stock, rights to purchase shares of our common stock, or securities convertible into shares of our common stock for a price per share that is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, the then current Conversion Price will be decreased to equal such lower price. The foregoing adjustments to the Conversion Price for future stock issues will not apply to certain exempt issuances, including issuances pursuant to certain employee benefit plans. In addition, the Conversion Price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar capital changes.

On the first business day of each month beginning on the earlier of the (i) effectiveness of a registration statement we file to register the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note or exercise of the Warrant, as defined below, or (ii) sixth month following the date of the Convertible Note through and including the maturity date (the “Installment Dates”), we will pay to the selling stockholder an amount equal to (i) one-thirtieth (1/30th) of the original principal amount of the Convertible Note (or the principal outstanding on the Installment Date, if less) plus (ii) the accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such principal plus (iii) the accrued and unpaid late charges (if any) with respect to such principal and interest. The selling stockholder has the ability to defer or accelerate such monthly payments in its sole discretion.

Prior to the maturity date, the Convertible Note will bear interest at 8% per annum (or 18% per annum during an event of default) with interest payable in cash or in shares of common stock monthly on the first trading day of each month following the issuance date.

Each monthly payment may be made in cash, in shares of our common stock, or in a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. Our ability to make such payments with shares of our common stockSecurities Act, they will be subject to various equity conditions, including the existence of an effective registration statement covering the resaleprospectus delivery requirements of the shares issued in payment (or, in the alternative, the eligibility of the shares issuableSecurities Act, including Rule 172 thereunder.

If we elect to pay such monthly payment in shares of our common stock we are required to pre-deliver shares of our common stock and are required to deliver additional shares, if any, to a true-up such number of shares to the number of shares requiredrequirement for us to be delivered onin compliance with the applicable Installment Date pursuant to the calculation above.

At any time after the issuance date, we will have the right to redeem all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Note plus all accrued but unpaid interest and any other charges at a price equal to 125% of such amount provided that (i) the arithmetic average of the closing sale price of the common stock for any twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days equals or exceeds 200% of the Conversion Price and (ii) among other conditions, there is an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares issued in payment or, in the alternative, the eligibility of the shares issuable pursuant to the Convertible Note and the Warrant for sale without restrictioncurrent public information requirement under Rule 144 and withoutunder the need for us to remain current with our public filing obligations.

Description of the Warrants.

As a part of the May 2015 Private Placement, we issued a Warrant to one of the selling stockholders giving it the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The Warrant is exercisable commencing six months from the date of issuance and the exercise prices for the Warrant is subject to adjustment for certain events, such as stock splits and stock dividends. We also issued a Warrant to the Placement Agent, which is a selling stockholder, exercisable to purchase 2,400,000 shares on the same terms, except it is exercisable upon issuance. If we issue or sell shares of our common stock, rights to purchase shares of our common stock, or securities convertible into shares of our common stock for a price per share that is less than the exercise price then in effect, the exercise price of the Warrants will be decreased to equal such lesser price. Upon each such adjustment, the number of the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will increase proportionately. The foregoing adjustments to the exercise price for future stock issues will not apply to certain exempt issuances, including issuances pursuant to certain employee benefit plans.distribution. In addition, the Conversion Price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar capital changes. The Warrants will expire on the seventh (7th) anniversary of their date of issuance.

9.99% Restriction on Conversion of Convertible Note and Exercise of Warrants

The selling stockholders have no right to convert the Convertible Note or exercise the Warrants to the extent that such conversion or exercise would result in a selling stockholder being the beneficial owner in excess of 9.99% of our common stock. We are required to hold a meeting of its shareholders to approve increase the number of our authorized shares to meet our obligations under the Purchase Agreement to have reserved 200% of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note and exercise of the Warrants not later than July 30, 2015.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

Note 1 — Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. (collectively, “we,” “ours,” “us,” “Infinity” or the “Company”) has prepared the accompanying financial statementsany Current Report on Form 8-K that are not deemed “filed” pursuant to the rules and regulationsGeneral Instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These financial statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of our balance sheets, statements of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for 2015 due to various factors. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC.

Nature of Operations

The Company is engaged in the exploration of potential oil and gas resources in the Perlas and Tyra concession blocks offshore Nicaragua in the Caribbean Sea (the “Nicaraguan Concessions” or “Concessions”) which contains a total of approximately 1.4 million acres. The Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc. in 2012 and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Infinity Oil and Gas of Wyoming, Inc., was dissolved in 2009.

The Company has been actively pursuing exploration and development of the Nicaraguan Concessions, which represents its principal asset and only exploration and development project. On March 5, 2009 Infinity signed the contracts relating to its Nicaraguan Concessions. Infinity has been conducting activities to develop geological information from the processing and evaluation of newly acquired and existing 2-D and 3-D seismic data that was acquired for the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Company has progressed to a stage on the Nicaraguan Concessions that it has identified multiple sites for exploratory drilling and is planning the initial exploratory wells in order to determine the existence of commercial hydrocarbon reserves, subject to receipt from the Nicaraguan government of authorizations for the drilling of up to five wells. In order to meet its obligations under the Perlas Block of the Nicaraguan Concession, the Company has until May 2016 to drill its initial exploratory well or risk being in default and potentially losing its rights under the Nicaraguan Concessions. In that regard, Infinity is seeking capital from various sources to continue the geological and exploration activities of the Nicaraguan Concessions. It is seeking offers from industry operators and other third parties for interests in the acreage in the Nicaraguan Concessions in exchange for cash and a carried interest in exploration and development operations or other joint venture arrangement.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Going Concern

As reflected in the accompanying statements of operations, the Company has had a history of losses. In addition, the Company has a significant working capital deficit and is currently experiencing substantial liquidity issues.

The Company has relied on raising outside debt and equity capital in recent years in order to fund its ongoing maintenance/expenditure obligations under the Nicaraguan Concession, for its day-to-day operations and its corporate overhead since it has generated no operating revenues in recent history.

Currently, the Company is in technical default of the Nicaraguan Concession as it has not provided the required letters of credit to the Nicaraguan Government, which total $1,356,227 for the Perlas block and $278,450 for the Tyra block. In addition, the Company was delinquent in the payment of approximately $155,500 in annual maintenance payments required by the Nicaraguan Concession, but it made such payments in early May 2015. The Company is in negotiations with the Nicaraguan Government and its lenders to renew the letters of credit, although there is no assurance that it will be successful in that regard. The Company must raise substantial amounts of debt and equity capital in the immediate future in order to fund: (1) the required letters of credit to the Nicaraguan Government; (2) the drilling of at least one exploratory well on the Perlas Block of the Nicaraguan Concessions prior to May 2016; (3) the payment of normal day-to-day operations and corporate overhead and (4) the payment of outstanding debt and other financial obligations as they become due. These are substantial operational and financial issues that must be successfully mitigated during 2015 or the Company’s ability to satisfy the conditions necessary to maintain its Nicaragua Concessions will be in significant doubt. The Company is actively seeking new outside sources of debt and equity capital in order fund the substantial needs enumerated above, however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such capital or obtain it on favorable terms or within the timeframe necessary to cure the technical defaults existing on the Nicaraguan Concessions or to meet its ongoing requirements relative to drilling the exploratory wells. Refer to Note 10 - “Subsequent Events” for recent developments regarding these matters.

Due to the uncertainties related to these matters, there exists substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates with regard to the financial statements include the estimated carrying value of unproved properties, the estimated fair value of derivative liabilities, stock-based awards and overriding royalty interests, and the realization of deferred tax assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and short term notes represent the estimated fair value due to the short-term nature of the accounts.

The carrying value of the Company’s debt under its line-of-credit with related party represents its estimated fair value due to its short-term nature, its rate of interest, associated fees and expenses and initially recorded discount.

In accordance with ASC Topic 820 —Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), the Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a group of assets or liabilities, such as a business.

ASC 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:8-K):

 

 Level 1 — Quoted prices in active marketsour Annual Report on Form 10-K for identical assetsthe fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021; and liabilities.
   
 Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active marketsour Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for similar assets or liabilities).the three months ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on May 13, 2021; and
   
 Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities, all of which are related to detachable warrants issued and the conversion feature granted in connection with notes payable, were estimated using a closed-ended option pricing model utilizing assumptions related to the contractual term of the instruments, estimated volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, interest rates, the probability of both the downward adjustment of the exercise price and the upward adjustment to the number of warrants as provided by the warrant agreement terms and non-performance risk factors, among other items . The fair values for the warrant derivatives as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were classified under the fair value hierarchy as Level 3.

The following table represents the Company’s hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

March 31, 2015 Level 1  Level 2  Level 3  Total 
Liabilities                
Derivative liabilities $-  $-  $164,060  $164,060 

December 31, 2014 Level 1  Level 2  Level 3  Total 
Liabilities                
Derivative liabilities $-  $-  $701,214  $701,214 

There were no changes in valuation techniques or reclassifications of fair value measurements between Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period were reclassified to conform with the current period’s financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net loss or accumulated deficit.

Note 2 – Debt

Line-of-Credit with Related Party

The Company entered into a line-of-credit facility on September 23, 2013 that provides it with borrowing capacity on a revolving basis up to a maximum of $50,000, which was increased to $100,000 at March 31, 2015 with an initial maturity of November 23, 2013. The entity providing the credit facility is owned by an officer of another corporation for which Infinity’s president and chairman of the board serves as president and chairman of the board. The facility is unsecured, bears interest at 8% per annum, and was renewed at its maturity in January 2014, April 2014 and February 2015. Its current maturity date is May 28, 2015. In consideration for the origination of the line of credit facility and the various renewals, the Company granted the lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 450,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (as amended on January 23, 2014), which warrants were immediately exercisable and expired on various dates from September 23, 2018 to October 23, 2019 (as amended). The parties agreed as a condition to the renewal of the facility in January 2014 that all warrants would be extended to a five-year term and the exercise price reduced to $1.50 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants at $60,290 as of the original grant date in 2013, which amount was recorded as debt issuance costs and classified in prepaid expenses in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company estimated the fair value of the new warrants exercisable to purchase 400,000 shares issued to extend the facility during 2014 and the increased value of the amended warrants to be $603,966, which has been recorded as additional debt issuance costs and classified in prepaid expenses in the accompanying balance sheets.

Such debt issuance costs are amortized ratably over the term of the credit facility and each respective extension. During the year ended December 31, 2014, a total of $641,210 of debt issuance costs were amortized to interest expense and the remaining unamortized balance was $23,046 as of December 31, 2014.

On February 28, 2015, the line-of-credit facility matured and the Company was unable to repay the principal and interest. The Company negotiated an extension to May 28, 2015 and granted the lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, which warrants were immediately exercisable and expire on February 28, 2020. The parties agreed as a condition to the renewal of the facility in February 2015 that all previously issued warrants to the lender totaling 890,625 shares would be extended to a five-year term and the exercise price reduced to $0.50 per share. The total value of the 100,000 newly issued warrants totaled $28,507 which is being amortized over the extension period. The increased value of the amended warrants totaled $149,517 which was immediately expensed.

On March 26, 2015, the Company negotiated an additional amendment to the line-of-credit facility, which increased the maximum amount from $50,000 to $100,000. In consideration, the Company granted the lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, which warrants were immediately exercisable and expire on March 26, 2020. The parties agreed as a condition to the amendment of the facility on March 26, 2015 that the line-of-credit will become convertible to common stock at an exchange rate of $0.50 per share. The total value of the 100,000 newly issued warrants totaled $30,288 which is being amortized over the extension period.

Such debt issuance costs are amortized ratably over the extended term of the credit facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, a total of $182,133 and $365,452 of debt issuance costs were amortized (including amounts immediately expensed) to interest expense and the remaining unamortized balance was $48,865 as of March 31, 2015.

On March 31, 2015, the Lender exercised its right to convert a portion of the outstanding line-of-credit principal balances totaling $50,000 into a total of 100,000 shares of common stock at an exchange rate of $0.50 per share.

Note Payable – Short-term

On December 27, 2013 the Company borrowed $1,050,000 under an unsecured credit facility with a private, third-party lender. The facility is represented by a promissory note (the “Note”) with an original maturity date of March 12, 2014. The Company and the lender agreed to extend the maturity date of the Note to dates in May and December 2014 and finally to April 7, 2015 (the “New Maturity Date”). All other terms of the Note remain the same.

In connection with one of the extensions of the Note, the Company agreed to enter into a definitive revenue sharing agreement with the lender to grant the lender under the revenue sharing agreement an irrevocable right to receive a monthly payment equal to one half of one percent (1/2%) of the gross revenue derived from the share of all hydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions and any other oil and gas concessions that the Company and its affiliates may acquire in the future. This percent increased to one percent (1%) when the Company did not pay the Note in full by August 7, 2014. Therefore, the revenue sharing agreement is fixed at one percent (1%). The Company paid no other consideration in connection with the extensions of the Note, but paid the legal expenses of the lender related to the extensions of $25,000. The Note may be prepaid without penalty at any time. The Note is subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness, as such terms are defined in the Note.

The value of the one percent (1.0%) definitive revenue sharing agreement granted to the lender as consideration for the extension of the maturity date to December 7, 2014 was estimated to be $964,738. Such amount has been reflected as a reduction of oil and gas properties and as a discount on the renewed note payable and will be amortized ratably over the extended term of the note.

In connection with its loan, the Company granted the lender a Warrant exercisable to purchase 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. In connection with the extension to the New Maturity Date, the parties amended the date for exercise of the Warrant to be a period commencing April 7, 2015 and expiring on the third anniversary of such date and the exercise price was reduced to $1.00 per share. The Company issued no additional warrants to the lender in connection with the extension of the Note to the New Maturity Date. If the Company fails to pay the Note on or before its New Maturity Date, the number of shares issuable under the Warrant increases to 13,333,333 and the exercise price drops to $0.075 per share. All other terms of the Warrant remain the same. The Warrant has been treated as a derivative liability whereby the value of Warrant is estimated at the date of grant and recorded as a derivative liability and as a discount on the note payable. The warrant liability is revalued to fair value at each reporting date with the corresponding income (loss) reflected in the statement of operations as change in derivative liability. The discount is amortized ratably through the original maturity date and each of the extended maturity dates.

The total discount recorded as of the December 27, 2013 origination date of the note was $890,103. The total additional discount recorded in 2014 as a result of the amendments to the Note terms and extensions of the maturity date totaled $1,048,507. Discount amortization expense aggregated $38,052 and $800,554 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively and the remaining unamortized discount was $2,959 and $41,011 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Other than the Note described above, during the three months ended March 31, 2015 the Company had short-term notes outstanding with entities or individuals as follows:

On January 7, 2014 it borrowed a total of $25,000 from an individual under a convertible note with a conversion price of $1.50 per share. The term of the note was for one yearour Current Reports on Forms 8-K and it bears interest at 8% per annum. In connection8-K/A filed with the loan, the Company issued the lender a warrant exercisable to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share for a term of five years from the date of the note. The terms of the noteSEC on March 30, 2021, April 6, 2021, April 22, 2021, May 11, 2021, June 15, 2021 and warrant provide that if the note and interest are not paid in full by its maturity date, the conversion price of the note and exercise price of the warrant automatically reduce to $0.50 per share. The ratchet provision in the note conversion and warrant exercise price require that these be accounted for as derivative liabilities. The Company recorded the estimated fair value of the conversion feature and warrants totaling $37,323 as discounts on note payable and as a derivative liability in the same amount, as of the date of the note. On January 7, 2015, the Company and the holder agreed to extend the maturity date of the note to February 28, 2015 and in consideration the Company granted it an additional 25,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 per share with a January 7, 2020 expiration date. The parties agreed as a condition to the renewal of the facility in January 2015 that all previously issued warrants to the lender totaling 150,000 shares would be extended to a five-year term and the exercise price reduced to $0.50 per share. The value of the newly issued warrants and the increased value of the amended warrants totaled $57,961 which was amortized over the extension terms. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 includes discount amortization in the amount of $58,783 and $18,008, respectively, and as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the remaining unamortized discount was $-0- and $822, respectively.
On February 28, 2015, the holder exercised its right to convert the full principal balance of $25,000 and accrued interest totaling $2,285 into 54,570 shares of common stock at an exchange rate of $0.50 per share. The Company paid the holder a fee of $2,729 in connection with the conversion of the note into common stock.

On March 31, 2014 it borrowed a total of $100,000 from an entity under a convertible note with a conversion price of $1.50 per share. The term of the note was for a period of 180 days and it bears interest at 8% per annum. In connection with the loan, the Company issued the lender a warrant exercisable to purchase of 100,000 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share for a term of five years from the date of the note. On September 30, 2014, the parties agreed to extend the maturity date of the note to February 28, 2015, for which the Company granted an additional warrant exercisable to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share for a five-year term and reduced the exercise price of the previously issued warrants to $1.00 per share. The terms of the note and warrant provide that if the note and interest are not be paid in full by its maturity date, the conversion price of the note and the exercise price of the warrant automatically reduce to $0.50 per share. The ratchet provision in the note conversion and warrant exercise price required that the conversion feature and warrants be accounted for as derivative liabilities. The Company recorded the estimated fair value of the conversion feature and warrants totaling $143,502 as a discount on note payable and as a derivative liability in the same amount, on the origination date of the note. In addition, the fair value of the new warrants issued and changes to previously issued warrants at the date of the extension was estimated at $70,924, which was also recorded as a discount on the note and a derivative liability. The Company amortizes the discount to interest ratably over the term of the note. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, includes discount amortization in the amount of $27,712 and $43,502, respectively, and as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the remaining unamortized discount was $-0- and $27,712.
On February 28, 2015, the holder exercised its right to convert the full principal balance of $100,000 and accrued interest totaling $9,260 into 218,520 shares of common stock at an exchange rate of $0.50 per share. The parties agreed as a condition to the conversion in February 2015 that all previously issued warrants to the lender totaling 200,000 shares would be extended to a five-year term and the exercise price reduced to $0.50 per share. The value of the warrant derivative was increased to the estimated value of $55,942 representing the amended terms of the previously issued warrants. The Company paid the holder a fee of $10,926 in connection with the conversion of the note into common stock.
On April 4, 2014 and June 7, 2014 it borrowed a total of $250,000 from an entity under two convertible notes payable with a conversion price of $1.50 per share. The original terms of the April 4, 2014 and June 7, 2014 notes were for a period of 180 days and bore interest at 8% per annum. On November 19, 2014 it borrowed an additional $50,000 and renewed the previously notes to mature on February 28, 2015 and bearing interest at 8% per annum. In connection with the loans the Company issued the entity a warrant excisable to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share for a term of five years from the date of the notes. On November 19, 2014, the Company granted an additional 350,000 warrants with an exercise price of $1.00 per share and a five-year term and reduced the existing 250,000 warrants exercise price to $1.00 per share. The terms of the notes and warrants provide that if the notes and interest are not be paid in full by their respective maturity dates, the conversion price of the notes and the exercise price of the warrants automatically reduce to $0.50 per share. The ratchet provision contained in the note conversion and warrant exercise price required that these be accounted for as derivative liabilities. The Company recorded the estimated fair value of the conversion feature and warrants totaling $278,585 as a discount on note payable and as a derivative liability in the same amount, as of the date of the respective notes. In addition, the fair value of the new warrants issued and changes to previously issued warrants at the date of the extension was estimated at $436,366 which was also recorded as a discount on the note and a derivative liability. The Company amortizes the discount to interest ratably over the term of the note. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 includes discount amortization in the amount of $175,248 and $—0- and as of March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the remaining unamortized discount was $-0- and $175,248, respectively.
On February 28, 2015, the holder exercised its right to convert the partial principal balance of $200,000 and accrued interest totaling $17,085 into 317,490 shares of common stock at an exchange rate of $0.50 per share. The parties agreed that the remaining $100,000 principal balance will be paid in cash upon the Company closing on a new outside financing transaction. The parties agreed as a condition to the conversion and the repayment of the $100,000 remaining principal balance on the note in February 2015 that all previously issued warrants to the lender totaling 600,000 shares would be extended to a five-year term and the exercise price reduced to $0.50 per share. The value of the warrant derivative was increased to the estimated value of $152,751 representing the amended terms of the previously issued warrants. The Company paid the holder a fee of $21,709 in connection with the conversion of the note into common stock.

On April 14, 2014 it borrowed a total of $100,000 from an entity under a convertible note payable with the conversion rate of $1.50 per share. The term of the note was for a period of 180 days and bore interest at 8% per annum. In connection with the loan, the Company issued the entity a warrant for the purchase of 100,000 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share for a period of five years from the date of the note. On October 2, 2014 it borrowed an additional $50,000 from this entity under a convertible notes payable with the conversion rate of $1.00 per share and extended the term of the original note payable to a maturity date of February 28, 2015. In connection with the issuance of the $50,000 note and the extension of the $100,000 note the Company issued 150,000 new warrants to acquire common stock at $1.00 per share for a term of five years and the reduction in exercise price of the original 100,000 warrants from $1.50 per share to $1.00 per share. The terms of the note and warrant provide that should the note and interest not be paid in full by its maturity date, the conversion price of the note and exercise price of the warrants automatically reduce to $0.50 per share. The ratchet provision in the note conversion and warrant exercise price required that these be accounted for as derivative liabilities. The Company recorded the estimated fair value of the conversion feature and warrants totaling $200,120 as a discount on note payable and as a derivative liability in the same amount, as of the date of the respective notes and the subsequent extension. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 includes discount amortization in the amount of $39,452 and $-0- and as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the remaining unamortized discount was $-0- and $39,452, respectively.
On February 28, 2015, the holder exercised its right to convert the full principal balance of $150,000 into 300,000 shares of common stock at an exchange rate of $0.50 per share. The parties agreed as a condition to the conversion in February 2015 that all previously issued warrants to the lender totaling 350,000 shares would be extended to a five-year term and the exercise price reduced to $0.50 per share. The value of the warrant derivative was increased to the estimated value of $71,268 representing the amended terms of the previously issued warrants. The Company paid the holder a fee of $15,000 in connection with the conversion of the note into common stock.July 13, 2021.

 

Note 3 – Common Stock

On February 28, 2015,We also incorporate by reference into this prospectus additional documents that we may file with the Company issued a total of 1,007,260 shares of common stock to holders in exchange for notes payable with a principal balances aggregating $475,000 and accrued interest totaling $28,630. The note holders had exercised their conversion rights at an exchange rate of $0.50 per share.

On March 31, 2015, the Company issued a total of 100,000 shares of common stock to the holderSEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the line-of-credit in exchange for a partial principal balance of $50,000. The lender had exercised their conversion right at an exchange rate of $0.50 per share.

Note 4 – Stock Options

The Company applies ASC 718,Stock Compensation, which requires companies to recognize compensation expense for share-based payments based on the estimated fair value of the awards. ASC 718 also requires tax benefits relating to the deductibility of increases in the value of equity instruments issued under share-based compensation arrangements to be presented as financing cash inflows in the statement of cash flows. Compensation cost is recognized based on the grant-date fair value for all share-based payments granted, and is estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.

In May 2006, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), under which both incentive and non-statutory stock options may be granted to employees, officers, non-employee directors and consultants. An aggregate of 470,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan. In June 2005, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), under which both incentive and non-statutory stock options may be granted to employees, officers, non-employee directors and consultants. An aggregate of 475,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan. Options granted under the 2005 Plan and 2006 Plan allow for the purchase of common stock at prices not less than the fair market value of such stock at the date of grant, become exercisable immediately or as directed by the Company’s Board of Directors and generally expire ten yearsExchange Act after the date hereof but before the completion or termination of grant. The Company also has other equity incentive plansthis offering (excluding any information not deemed “filed” with terms similarthe SEC). Any statement contained in a previously filed document is deemed to the 2005 and 2006 Plans. As of December 31, 2014, 136,500 shares were availablebe modified or superseded for future grants under all plans.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the option award, expected stock price volatility and expected dividends. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. For purposes of estimating the expected term of options granted, the Company aggregates option recipients into groups that have similar option exercise behavioral traits. Expected volatilities used in the valuation model are based on the expected volatility that would be used by an independent market participant in the valuation of certain of the Company’s warrants. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company’s forfeiture rate assumption used in determining its stock-based compensation expense is estimated based on historical data. The actual forfeiture rate could differ from these estimates. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2015:

  Number of Options  Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share  Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term  Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2015  3,854,500  $3.93   5.9 years  $34,265 

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in connection with the vesting of options granted aggregating $58,360 and $559,962 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The unrecognized compensation cost as of March 31, 2015 related to the unvested stock options as of that date was $141,385, which will be amortized over the next ten months.

Note 5 – Derivative Instruments

Derivatives – Warrants Issued Relative to Note Payables

The estimated fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities, all of which are related to the conversion features and detachable warrants issued in connection with notes payable, were estimated using a closed-ended option pricing model utilizing assumptions related to the contractual term of the instruments, estimated volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, interest rates, the probability of both the downward adjustment of the exercise price and the upward adjustment to the number of warrants as provided by the note payable and warrant agreement terms (Note 2) and non-performance risk factors, among other items (ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) fair value hierarchy Level 3). When the note payable is extinguished, the derivative liability will be adjusted to fair value and the resulting derivative liability will be transitioned from a liability to equity as of such date. Notes payable with a total principal balance of $475,000 were extinguished during the three months ended March 31, 2015. A comparison of the assumptions used in calculating estimated fair value of derivative liabilities at the issue date and as of the date of the transition from liability to equity during the three months ended March 31, 2015 is as follows:

The Company anticipates that these unproved costs in the table above will be reclassified to proved costs within the next five years.

Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has not maintained insurance coverage on its U.S domestic oil and gas properties for several years. The Company is not in compliance with Federal and State laws regarding the U.S. domestic oil and gas properties. The Company’s known compliance issues relate to the Texas Railroad Commission regarding administrative filings and renewal permits relative to its Texas oil and gas properties that were sold in 2012. The ultimate resolution of these compliance issues could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Nicaraguan Concessions

The Company received notification of final approval of the environmental impact assessment (“EIA”) by the Nicaraguan government onApril 13, 2013, which beganSub-Period 2 as defined in the Nicaraguan concessions. Therefore, the Company has progressed to Sub-Period 2 of the exploration phase of the 30-year Concession for both Perlas and Tyra as of March 31, 2015. In accordance with the Nicaraguan Concession agreements, the Company has previously provided the Ministry of Energy with the required letters of credit in the amounts of $443,100 for Perlas (expired March 2014) and $408,450 for Tyra (expired September 2014). The Company has also made all required expenditures related to the Nicaraguan Concessions for training programs and as “area fees,” for each respective year for 2010 through 2015.

The Company is currently negotiating the renewal and increase of the required letters of credit, which total $1,356,227 for the Perlas block and $278,450 for the Tyra block with the Nicaraguan Government and its lenders; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in that regard. The Company considers it is fully in compliance with the terms of the Nicaraguan Concessions agreements, except for the renewal and increase of the expired letters of credit. Refer to Note 10 - “Subsequent Events” for recent developments regarding these matters.

Sub-Period 2 of the exploration phase began April 13, 2013, when the Nicaraguan Government approved the environmental impact study. The Company believes that it has performed all work necessary as of March 31, 2015 to proceed to Sub-Period 3 for the Perlas Block as defined in the Nicaraguan concessions which requires the drilling of at least one exploratory well on the Perlas concession. The Nicaraguan Government has yet to accept the progression to Sub-Period 3 of the Perlas Block, however assuming that it does accept the progression, Infinity will be required to drill at least one exploratory well on the Perlas Block within one-year (estimated to be prior to May 2016). The minimum cash requirements to maintain and comply with the minimum work program as defined in the Nicaraguan Concessions for the next twelve month period will be approximately $5,500,000 for the Perlas Block, which includes all costs to prepare for and drill the initial exploratory well, and $280,000 for the Tyra Block. In addition to the minimum cash requirements related to the Nicaraguan Concessions, the Company estimates that it will require approximately $330,000 of working capital to maintain corporate operations for the next 12 months, but not including approximately $1,150,000 principal amount of short-term promissory notes due in April 2015, plus accrued interest, and other obligations owed to third parties. Refer to Note 10 - “Subsequent Events” for recent developments regarding these matters.

Revenue Sharing Commitments

On March 23, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated effective as of March 23, 2009, with Off-Shore, an accredited investor, to issue a subordinated secured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,275,000 and a one percent (1%) revenue sharing interest in the Nicaraguan Concessions. Off-Shore funded a total of $1,275,000 and subsequently converted the subordinated secured promissory note to common stock.

Under the Revenue Sharing Agreement (the “Revenue Agreement”), Infinity assigned to Off-Shore a monthly payment (the “RSP”) equal to the revenue derived from one percent (1%) of Infinity’s share of the hydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The RSP will bear its proportionate share of all costs incurred to deliver the hydrocarbons to the point of sale to an unaffiliated purchaser, including its share of production, severance and similar taxes, and certain additional costs. The RSP will be paid to Off-Shore by the last day of each month based on the revenue received by Infinity from the purchaser of the production during the previous month from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Revenue Agreement does not create any obligation for Infinity to maintain or develop the Nicaraguan Concessions, and does not create any rights in the Nicaraguan Concessions for Off-Shore. In connection with its dissolution Off-Shore assigned its RSP to its individual members.

On June 6, 2009 the Company entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement with the officers and directors for services provided. Infinity assigned to officers and directors a monthly payment equal to the revenue derived from one percent (1%) of Infinity’s share of the hydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The RSP will bear its proportionate share of all costs incurred to deliver the hydrocarbons to the point of sale to an unaffiliated purchaser, including its share of production, severance and similar taxes, and certain additional costs. The RSP shall be paid by the last day of each month based on the revenue received by Infinity from the purchaser of the production during the previous month from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Revenue Agreement does not create any obligation for Infinity to maintain or develop the Nicaraguan Concessions, and does not create any rights in the Nicaraguan Concessions for officers and directors.

The Company intends to seek joint venture or working interest partners (the “Farmout”) prior to the commencement of any exploratory drilling operations on the Nicaraguan Concessions. On September 8, 2009 the Company entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement with Jeff Roberts to assist the Company with its technical studies of gas and oil holdings in Nicaragua and managing and assisting in the Farmout. Infinity assigned to Jeff Roberts a monthly payment equal to the revenue derived from one percent (1%) of Infinity’s share of the hydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The RSP will bear its proportionate share of all costs incurred to deliver the hydrocarbons to the point of sale to an unaffiliated purchaser, including its share of production, severance and similar taxes, and certain additional costs. The RSP shall be paid to Jeff Roberts by the last day of each month based on the revenue received by Infinity from the purchaser of the production during the previous month from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Revenue Agreement does not create any obligation for Infinity to maintain or develop the Nicaraguan Concessions, and does not create any rights in the Nicaraguan Concessions for Jeff Roberts.

In connection with the extension of the Note with a $1,050,000 principal balance issued in December 2013, the Company entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement in May 2014. Infinity assigned to the note holder a monthly payment equal to the revenue derived from one percent (1%) of 8/8ths of Infinity’s share of the hydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions and any other oil and gas concessions that the Company and its affiliates may acquire in the future. The RSP will bear its proportionate share of all costs incurred to deliver the hydrocarbons to the point of sale to an unaffiliated purchaser, including its share of production, severance and similar taxes, and certain additional costs. The RSP shall be paid by the last day of each month based on the revenue received by Infinity from the purchaser of the production during the previous month from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Revenue Agreement does not create any obligation for Infinity to maintain or develop the Nicaraguan Concessions, and does not create any rights in the Nicaraguan Concessions for officers and directors.

Letter of Intent to enter Exploration Services Agreement

On October 13, 2014 the Company announced that it had entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Granada Exploration, LLC, which has agreed to join with the Company to explore for potential hydrocarbons beneath Infinity’s 1.4 million-acre oil and gas concessions in the Caribbean Sea offshore Nicaragua. Under the terms of the LOI, Granada Exploration will provide its services in exchange for a working interest in the Nicaraguan Concessions. The scope of such services will be more specifically described in a mutually acceptable Exploration Services Agreement (“ESA”), which is currently being negotiated. The ESA is anticipated to provide that Granada will earn an assignment from Infinity of an undivided 30% working interest in the Concessions, based on an 80% net revenue interest. Granada and Infinity are also anticipated to enter into a Joint Operating Agreement. Granada may, at its discretion, participate in an initial exploratory well for up to an additional undivided 20% working interest, on a prospect-by-prospect basis, with such additional interest to be based on an 80% net revenue interest.

The LOI is subject to Granada’s normal and customary due diligence, including the evaluation of the Company’s Form 10-K and 10-Q filings, documents showing that the Company is in good standing regarding the Nicaraguan Concessions and with the Nicaraguan government; negotiation and approval of mutually acceptable formal agreements; and final approval by a majority of the partners that comprise Granada Exploration, LLC. The parties continue to negotiate the terms of the ESA, but have not entered into definitive agreements and Granada has not completed its normal and customary due diligence.

Lack of Compliance with Law Regarding Domestic Properties

Infinity has not been in compliance with existing federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations for its previously owned domestic oil and gas properties and this could have a material or significantly adverse effect upon the liquidity, capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of Infinity. All domestic oil and gas properties held by Infinity – Wyoming and Infinity-Texas have been disposed of as of March 31, 2015; however, the Company may remain liable for certain asset retirement costs should the new owners not complete their obligations. Management believes the total asset retirement obligations recorded of $1,716,003 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is sufficient to cover any potential noncompliance liabilities relative to the to the plugging of abandoned wells, the removal of facilities and equipment, and site restoration on oil and gas properties for its former oil and gas properties. The Company has not maintained insurance on the domestic properties for a number of years.

Litigation

The Company is subject to numerous claims and legal actions in which vendors are claiming breach of contract due to the Company’s failure to pay amounts due. The Company believes that it has made adequate provision for these claims in the accompanying financial statements.

The Company is currently involved in litigation as follows:

Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P., f/k/a Hanover Compression Limited Partnership, who filed an action in the District Court of Erath County, Texas, number CV30512, on March 31, 2010 against Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc., Infinity Energy Resources, Inc., Longhorn Properties, LLC, and Forest Oil Corporation. Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P. provided certain gas compressor and related equipment pursuant to a Gas Compressor/Production Equipment Master Rental & Servicing Agreement with Infinity dated January 3, 2005 in Erath County, Texas and has claiming breach of contract for failure to pay amounts due. On October 13, 2011, a default judgment was entered against the Company in the amount of $445,521 plus interest and attorney fees. The Company has included the impacts of this litigation as liabilities in its accounts payable. The Company will seek to settle the default judgment when it has the financial resources to do so.
In October 2012 the State of Texas filed a lawsuit naming Infinity-Texas, the Company and the corporate officers of Infinity-Texas, seeking $30,000 of reclamation costs associated with a single well, in addition to administrative expenses and penalties. The Company has engaged in negotiations with the State of Texas in late 2012 and early 2013 and has reached a settlement agreement that would reduce the aggregate liability, in this action and any extension of this to other Texas wells, to $45,103, which amount has been paid. Certain performance obligations remain which must be satisfied in order to finally settle and dismiss the matter.
Pending satisfactory performance of the performance obligations and their acceptance by the State of Texas, the officers retain potential liability on the above matter, and the officers are held personally harmless by indemnification provisions of the Company. Therefore these liabilities, to the extent they might become actual, are the obligations of the Company. Management estimates that the liabilities associated with this matter will not exceed $780,000, calculated as $30,000 for each of the 26 Infinity-Texas operated wells. This related liability, less the payment made to the State of Texas in 2012 in the amount of $45,103, is classified as an asset retirement obligation on the balance sheets.
Cambrian Consultants America, Inc. (“Cambrian”) filed an action in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, number CV2014-55719, on September 26, 2014 against Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. resulting from certain professional consulting services provided for quality control and management of seismic operations during November and December 2013 on the Company’s offshore Nicaraguan Concessions. Cambrian provided these services pursuant to a Master Consulting Agreement with Infinity dated November 20, 2013 and is claiming breach of contract for failure to pay amounts due. On December 8, 2014, a default judgment was entered against the Company in the amount of $96,877 plus interest and attorney fees. The Company has included the impact of this litigation as a liability in its accounts payable. The Company will seek to settle the default judgment when it has the financial resources to do so.

Torrey Hills Capital, Inc. (“Torrey”) notified the Company by letter dated August 15, 2014 of its demand for the payment of $56,000, which it alleged was unpaid and owed under a consulting agreement dated October 18, 2013. The parties entered into a consulting agreement under which Torrey agreed to provide investor relations services in exchange for payment of $7,000 per month and the issuance of 15,000 shares of common stock. The agreement was for an initial three month-term with automatic renewals unless terminated upon 30 days written notice by either party. The Company made payments totaling $14,000 and issued 15,000 shares of common stock during 2013. The Company contends that Torrey breached the agreement by not performing the required services and that it had provided proper notice of termination to Torrey. Furthermore, the Company contends that the parties agreed to settle the dispute on or around June 19, 2014 under which it would issue 28,000 shares of common stock in full settlement of any balance then owed and final termination of the agreement. Torrey disputes the Company’s contentions and has submitted the dispute to binding arbitration. The Company has accrued $49,000 in accounts payable as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, which management believes is sufficient to provide for the ultimate resolution of this dispute.

Note 9 – Related Party Transactions

The Company currently does not have any employees other than the CEO and CFO. In previous years, certain general and administrative services (for which payment is deferred) had been provided by the CFO’s accounting firm at its standard billing rates plus out-of-pocket expenses and consist primarily of accounting, tax and other administrative fees. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company was billed $0 for such services. The amount due to the CFO’s firm for services provided was $767,407 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and is included in accrued liabilities at both dates.

On June 6, 2009 the Company entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement with the officers and directors for services provided. Infinity assigned to officers and directors a monthly payment equal to the revenue derived from one percent (1%) of Infinity’s share of the hydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The RSP will bear its proportionate share of all costs incurred to deliver the hydrocarbons to the point of sale to an unaffiliated purchaser, including its share of production, severance and similar taxes, and certain additional costs. The RSP shall be paid by the last day of each month based on the revenue received by Infinity from the purchaser of the production during the previous month from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Revenue Agreement does not create any obligation for Infinity to maintain or develop the Nicaraguan Concessions and does not create any rights in the Nicaraguan Concessions for officers and directors.

The Company entered into a subordinated loan with Off-Shore in the aggregate amount of $1,275,000 for funds used to maintain the Nicaraguan Concessions. This note was satisfied by the Company’s issuance of shares of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock effective April 13, 2012 to Off-Shore and the conversion of the Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock to common stock effective February 28, 2014. The managing partner of Off-Shore and the CFO are partners in the accounting firm which the Company uses for general corporate purposes. In the February 2014 transaction, Offshore exchanged all of its 15,016 shares of Series B preferred stock for 375,400 shares of common stock. Each share of Series B preferred had a liquidation and par value of $100. The Company also issued Offshore an additional 45,048 shares of common stock for $180,192, the amount of the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B preferred stock as of the effective date of the transaction. As a result, the Company issued a total of 420,448 shares of common stock valued at $4.00 per share for a total of $1,681,792, which has been reflected as common stock and additional paid in capital.

In connection with its subordinated loan, Off-Shore was granted a one percent (1%) revenue sharing interest in the Nicaraguan Concessions. The managing partner of Off-Shore and the CFO are partners in the accounting firm which the Company uses for general corporate purposes. The revenue sharing interest remains in effect after the conversion of the subordinated promissory note to Series A preferred stock and subsequently to common stock. In connection with its dissolution Off-Shore assigned its RSP to its individual members, which includes the former managing partner of Offshore.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had accrued compensation to its officers and directors of $1,246,208 and $1,187,208, respectively.

The Company entered into a line-of-credit facility on September 23, 2013 that provides it with borrowing capacity on a revolving basis up to a maximum of $50,000, which was increased to $100,000 at March 31, 2015 with an initial maturity of November 23, 2013. The entity providing the credit facility is owned by an officer of another corporation for which Infinity’s president and chairman of the board serves as president and chairman of the board. The facility is unsecured, bears interest at 8% per annum, and was renewed at its maturity in January 2014, April 2014 and February 2015. Its current maturity date is May 28, 2015. In consideration for the origination of the line of credit facility and the various renewals, the Company granted the lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 450,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (as amended on January 23, 2014), which warrants were immediately exercisable and expired on various dates from September 23, 2018 to October 23, 2019 (as amended). The parties agreed as a condition to the renewal of the facility in January 2014 that all warrants would be extended to a five-year term and the exercise price reduced to $1.50 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants at $60,290 as of the original grant date in 2013, which amount was recorded as debt issuance costs and classified in prepaid expenses in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company estimated the fair value of the new warrants exercisable to purchase 400,000 shares issued to extend the facility during 2014 and the increased value of the amended warrants to be $603,966, which has been recorded as additional debt issuance costs and classified in prepaid expenses in the accompanying balance sheets.

On February 28, 2015, the line-of-credit facility matured and the Company was unable to repay the principal and interest. The Company negotiated an extension to May 28, 2015 and granted the lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, which warrants were immediately exercisable and expire on February 28, 2020. The parties agreed as a condition to the renewal of the facility in February 2015 that all previously issued warrants to the lender totaling 890,625 shares would be extended to a five-year term and the exercise price reduced to $0.50 per share. The total value of the 100,000 newly issued warrants totaled $28,507 which is being amortized over the extension period. The increased value of the amended warrants totaled $149,517 which was immediately expensed.

On March 26, 2015, the Company negotiated an additional amendment to the line-of-credit facility, which increased the maximum amount from $50,000 to $100,000. In consideration, the Company granted the lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, which warrants were immediately exercisable and expire on March 26, 2020. The parties agreed as a condition to the amendment of the facility on March 26, 2015 that the line-of-credit will become convertible to common stock at an exchange rate of $0.50 per share. The total value of the 100,000 newly issued warrants totaled $30,288 which is being amortized over the extension period.

On March 7, 2014 the Company borrowed $10,000 from an individual who is related to Infinity’s Chairman and President. The note was due on demand and bore interest at 8% per annum. This demand note was repaid in full during April 2014.

Note 10 — Subsequent Events

On May 7, 2015 the Company completed the private placement of $12.0 million principal amount Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Note”) and a Warrant to purchase 18,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant”) with an institutional investor.

At the closing on May 7, 2015, the investor acquired the Note by paying $450,000 in cash and issuing a promissory note, secured by cash, with a principal amount of $9,550,000 (the “Investor Note”). Assuming all amounts payable to the Company under the Investor Note are paid, the private placement will result in gross proceeds of $10.0 million before placement agent fees and other expenses associated with the transaction, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company used the initial proceeds from the closing to retire certain outstanding obligations, including the 2015 area and training fees of approximately $155,000 owed to the Nicaraguan government relating to its Nicaragua Concessions, and to provide additional working capital.

The Company will receive the remaining cash proceeds upon each voluntary or mandatory prepayment of the Investor Note. The investor may, at its option and at any time, voluntarily prepay the Investor Note, in whole or in part.

The investor must prepay the Investor Note, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of one or more mandatory prepayment events. These include (i) the investor’s conversion of the Note into shares of common stock upon which the investor will be required to prepay the Investor Note, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for each subsequent conversion of the Note and (ii) the Company’s delivering a mandatory prepayment notice to the investor after it has received governmental authorizations from the Nicaraguan authorities necessary to commence drilling on at least five sites within the Nicaraguan Concessions, among other conditions.

The Note matures on the three-year anniversary of its issuance, bears interest at 8% per annum, and is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share (the “Conversion Price”). As a part of the private placement, the Company issued a Warrant to the investor giving it the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The Warrant is exercisable commencing six months from the date of issuance for a period of seven years from the date of issuance.

If the Company issues or sells shares of its common stock, rights to purchase shares of its common stock, or securities convertible into shares of its common stock for a price per share that is less than the Conversion Price or Warrant exercise price then in effect, the then current Conversion Price and Warrant exercise prices will be decreased to equal such lower price.

The investor has no right to convert the Note or exercise the Warrantprospectus to the extent that such conversiona statement contained in this prospectus or exercise would result in a subsequently filed document incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes the investor beingstatement, and any statement contained in this prospectus is deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus to the extent that a statement contained in a subsequently filed document incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes the statement.

The Company used a portion of the funds from this credit facility to resolve the contingency related to the delinquent payment of 2015 training and area fees and the expired letters of credit for its Nicaraguan concessions (See Note 8). The Company continues to negotiate the renewal of the letters of credit with the Nicaraguan Government and its lenders; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in that regard.Infinity Energy Resources, Inc.

On December 27, 2013 the Company borrowed $1,050,000 under an unsecured credit facility with a private, third-party lender. The facility is represented by a promissory note (the “Note”). Effective April 7, 2015 the Company and the lender agreed to extend the maturity date of the Note from April 7, 2015 to the earlier of (i) April 7, 2016 or (ii) the payment in full of the Investor Note issued to the Company by Hudson Bay Master Fund, Ltd. in the principal amount of $9,550,000 (the “New Maturity Date”). All other terms of the Note remain the same. The extension to the New Maturity Date closed on May 8, 2015.

The Note may be prepaid without penalty at any time. The Note is subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness, as such terms are defined in the Note.

In connection with the loan, the Company granted the lender a warrant exercisable to purchase 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. In connection with the extension of the maturity date of the Note to the New Maturity Date, the Company (i) issued the lender 200,000 shares of restricted common stock; (ii) decreased the exercise price of the warrant to $0.50 per share and extended the term of the warrant to a period commencing on the New Maturity Date and expiring on the third anniversary of such date; and (iii) paid $50,000 toward amounts due under the Note. The Company issued no additional warrants to the lender in connection with the extension of the Note to the New Maturity Date. If the Company fails to pay the Note on or before its New Maturity Date, the number of shares issuable under the Warrant increases to 13,333,333 and the exercise price drops to $0.075 per share. All other terms of the warrant remain the same.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinionor Payment Made on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses, has no on-going operations, and has a significant working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

INFINITY ENERGY RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. (the “Company,” “Infinity,” “we”, “our”) is engaged in the exploration of potential oil and gas resources in the Perlas and Tyra concession blocks offshore Nicaragua in the Caribbean Sea (the “Nicaraguan Concessions” or “Concessions”). The Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc. in 2012 and continues to hold its wholly-owned subsidiary Infinity Oil and Gas of Wyoming, Inc., which has been inactive in recent years.

On March 5, 2009 Infinity signed the contracts relating to its Nicaraguan Concessions. Infinity is conducting activities to develop geological information from the processing and evaluation of newly acquired and existing 2-D and 3-D seismic data that was acquired for the Nicaraguan Concessions. Infinity is seeking capital from various sources to continue the geological and exploration activities of the Nicaraguan Concessions. It is seeking offers from industry operators and other third parties for interests in the acreage in the Nicaraguan Concessions in exchange for cash and a carried interest in exploration and development operations or other joint venture arrangement.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Infinity Oil & Gas of Wyoming, Inc. (“Infinity-Wyoming”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Going Concern

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, the Company has had a history of losses. In addition, the Company has a significant working capital deficit and is currently experiencing substantial liquidity issues.

The Company has been seeking capital to develop geological information from the processing and evaluation of newly acquired and existing 2-D and 3-D seismic data and to conduct exploration activities to discover and exploit oil and gas deposits within its Nicaraguan Concessions. In 2012 Infinity converted debt owed to Amegy Bank (“Amegy”) and Off-Shore Finance, LLC (“Off-Shore”) to Preferred Stock (see Note 3). On December 30, 2013, we completed the exchange of all 130,000 sharesShares of Series A Preferred Stock and the related accrued dividends that Amegy owned for a total of 3,591,250 shares of our common stock. In addition, on February 28, 2014 we completed the exchange of all 15,016 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the related accrued dividends that Off-Shore owned for a total of 420,448 shares of our common stock. We have also raised additional capital through the issuance of short-term debt with detachable common stock purchase warrants during 2012 through 2014 to process seismic data and to pay ongoing Nicaraguan Concession costs and corporate overhead. Although the cash outflow necessary to pay Amegy and Off-Shore has been eliminated under terms of the agreements, we are still in need of additional capital to meet our obligations under the Nicaraguan Concessions, to service the outstanding short-term debt and other obligations and to continue normal corporate activities, and are seeking sources of additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such capital or obtain it on favorable terms.

The Company received notification of final approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) by the Nicaraguan government onApril 13, 2013, which beganSub-Period 2 as defined in the Nicaraguan concessions. Therefore, the Company has progressed to Sub-Period 2 of the exploration phase of the 30-year Concession for both Perlas and Tyra as of December 31, 2014. In accordance with the Nicaraguan Concession agreements, the Company had provided the Ministry of Energy with the required letters of credit in the amounts totaling $851,550 for this and additional work on the leases as required by the Nicaraguan Concessions, which letters of credit have now expired. The Company is in negotiations with the Nicaraguan Government and its lenders to renew the letters of credit, although there is no assurance that it will be successful in that regard. The Company must resolve this issue to be in compliance with its requirements under the Concessions. The Company has completed certain activity under the initial work plan to date, but there remain significant additional activities to comply with the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Company intends to seek joint venture or working interest partners prior to the commencement of any significant exploration or drilling operations on the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Company satisfied its commitment under the Nicaraguan Concessions to acquire, process and interpret additional 2-D/3-D seismic data. The Company is evaluating the newly acquired seismic data and is in process of selecting potential exploratory drill sites in accordance with the Nicaragua Concessions. The Company must gain approval of the drill sites upon submission of an updated environmental impact assessment before commencing with exploration activities. The Company currently does not have the working capital to complete the activities required by the work plan and consequently it must raise the necessary funding to fulfil such requirements. This are substantial operational and financial issues that must be successfully mitigated during 2015 or the Company’s ability to satisfy the conditions necessary to maintain its Nicaragua Concessions will be in significant doubt.

Due to the uncertainties related to these matters, there exists substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates with regard to the consolidated financial statements include the estimated carrying value of unproved properties, the estimated fair value of derivative liabilities, stock-based awards and overriding royalty interests, and the realization of deferred tax assets.

Oil and Gas Properties

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for exploration and development activities. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration, and development of properties (including costs of surrendered and abandoned leaseholds, delay lease rentals, dry holes and seismic costs) and the fair value of estimated future costs of site restoration, dismantlement, and abandonment activities are capitalized. Overhead related to development activities is also capitalized during the acquisition phase. In the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company capitalized direct costs, overhead costs and interest as follows:

  For the Years Ended 
  December 31, 
  2014  2013 
         
Direct costs $115,622  $6,051,411 

In April 2013 the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) was formally approved by the Nicaraguan government and the Company was cleared to commence 2-D and 3-D seismic mapping activities in the area. In late 2013 and early 2014 we conducted 2-D and 3-D seismic mapping beneath the waters of the Tyra and Perlas Concession blocks. Concurrent with the approval of the EIA, management concluded that the acquisition phase of the Nicaraguan Concessions had been completed and the exploration phase had commenced with the start 2-D and 3-D seismic mapping activities. Accordingly, the Company ceased the capitalization of overhead, legal costs, certain consulting and ancillary costs paid to the Nicaraguan government in accordance with the Concession agreement.

Direct costs capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2013 included $5,937,013 of costs related to the acquisition of new 2D and 3D seismic data on the Nicaragua Concessions.

Depletion of proved oil and gas properties is computed on the units-of-production method, with oil and gas being converted to a common unit of measure based on relative energy content, whereby capitalized costs, as adjusted for estimated future development costs and estimated asset retirement costs, are amortized over the total estimated proved reserve quantities. Investments in unproved properties, including capitalized interest and internal costs, are not depleted pending determination of the existence of proved reserves. Unproved properties are assessed periodically (at least annually) to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. Unproved properties whose costs are individually significant are assessed individually by considering the primary lease terms of the properties, the holding period of the properties, geographic and geologic data obtained relating to the properties, and estimated discounted future net cash flows from the properties. Estimated discounted future net cash flows are based on discounted future net revenues associated with probable and possible reserves, risk adjusted as appropriate. Where it is not practicable to assess individually the amount of impairment of properties for which costs are not individually significant, such properties are grouped for purposes of assessing impairment. The amount of impairment assessed is added to the costs to be amortized, or is reported as a period expense, as appropriate. All unproved property costs as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 relate to the Nicaraguan Concessions that were entered into in March 2009. In assessing the unproved property costs for impairment, the Company takes into consideration the terms of the government concessions, the status of the Company’s compliance with the Nicaraguan Concessions’ requirements, the ongoing evaluation of the seismic data and plans to seek industry participation in the future exploration and development.

Pursuant to full cost accounting rules, the Company must perform a “ceiling test” each quarter. The ceiling test provides that capitalized costs less related accumulated depletion and deferred income taxes for each cost center may not exceed the sum of (1) the present value of future net revenue from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves using prices based on the arithmetic mean of the previous 12 months’ first-of-month prices and current costs, including the effects of derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges, but excluding the future cash outflows associated with settling asset retirement obligations that have been accrued on the balance sheet, and a discount factor of 10%; plus (2) the cost of properties not being amortized, if any; plus (3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any; less (4) income tax effects related to differences in the book and tax basis of oil and gas properties. If capitalized costs exceed the ceiling, the excess must be charged to expense and may not be reversed in future periods. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any proved oil and gas properties, and all unproved property costs relate to the Company’s Nicaraguan Concessions.

Proceeds from the sales of oil and gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss would be recognized in the determination of the Company’s net earnings/loss.

Concentrations

The Company’s only asset is the Nicaraguan Concessions and it expects to be active in Nicaragua for the foreseeable future, given sufficient capital. The political climate in Nicaragua could become unstable and subject to radical change over a short period of time. In the event of a significant negative change in political and economic stability in the vicinity of the Nicaraguan Concessions or of the inability of the Company to obtain sufficient financing, the Company might be forced to abandon or suspend its efforts and its rights under its Nicaraguan Concessions.

Derivative Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative instruments or hedging activities under the provisions of ASC 815Derivatives and Hedging. ASC 815 requires the Company to record derivative instruments at their fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are recognized in the statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges, if any, are recognized in earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge treatment are recognized in earnings.

The purpose of hedging is to provide a measure of stability to the Company’s cash flows in an environment of volatile oil and gas prices and to manage the exposure to commodity price risk. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and during the years then ended, the Company had no oil and natural gas derivative arrangements outstanding.

As a result of certain terms, conditions and features included in certain common stock purchase warrants issued by the Company (Notes 6 and 7), those warrants are required to be accounted for as derivatives at estimated fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.


Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial accounting bases and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The tax benefits of tax loss carryforwards and other deferred taxes are recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses the utilization of such assets to be more likely than not. Management routinely assesses the realizability of the Company’s deferred income tax assets, and a valuation allowance is recognized if it is determined that deferred income tax assets may not be fully utilized in future periods. Management considers future taxable earnings in making such assessments. Numerous judgments and assumptions are inherent in the determination of future taxable earnings, including such factors as future operating conditions. When the future utilization of some portion of the deferred tax asset is determined not to be more likely than not, a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the recorded deferred tax asset. When the Company can project that a portion of the deferred tax asset can be realized through application of a portion of tax loss carryforward, the Company will record that utilization as a deferred tax benefit and recognize a deferred tax asset in the same amount. There can be no assurance that facts and circumstances will not materially change and require the Company to adjust its deferred income tax asset valuation allowance in a future period. The Company recognized a deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance, of $0 at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The Company is potentially subject to taxation in many jurisdictions, and the calculation of income tax liabilities (if any) involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex income tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions. It recognizes certain income tax positions that meet a more-likely-than not recognition threshold. If the Company ultimately determines that the payment of these liabilities will be unnecessary, it will reverse the liability and recognize an income tax benefit. No liability for unrecognized tax benefit was recorded as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash consists of cash on hand and demand deposits with financial institutions. Although the Company had minimal cash as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, it is the Company’s policy that all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased would be cash equivalents and would be included along with cash as cash and equivalents.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company records estimated future asset retirement obligations pursuant to the provisions of ASC 410. ASC 410 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Subsequent to initial measurement, the asset retirement liability is required to be accreted each period. The Company’s asset retirement obligations consist of costs related to the plugging of wells, the removal of facilities and equipment, and site restoration on oil and gas properties. Capitalized costs are depleted as a component of the full cost pool using the units of production method. Although the Company had divested all of its domestic oil properties that contain operating and abandoned wells as of December 31, 2014, the Company may have obligations related to the divestiture of certain abandoned non-producing domestic leasehold properties should the new owner not perform its obligations to reclaim abandoned wells in a timely manner. Management believes the Company has been relieved from asset retirement obligation related to Infinity-Texas because of the sale of its Texas oil and gas properties in 2011 and its sale of 100% of the stock in Infinity-Texas in 2012. The Company has recognized an additional liability of $734,897 related to its former Texas oil and gas producing properties (included in asset retirement obligations) to recognize the potential personal liability of the Company and its officers for the Infinity-Texas oil and gas properties should the new owner not perform its obligations to reclaim abandoned wells in a timely manner. In addition, management believes the Company has been relieved from asset retirement obligations related to Infinity-Wyoming because of the sale of its Wyoming and Colorado oil and gas properties in 2008, however the Company has recognized an additional liability of $981,106 related to its former Wyoming and Colorado oil and gas producing properties (included in asset retirement obligations) to recognize the potential liability of the Company and its officers should the new owner not perform its obligations to reclaim abandoned wells in a timely manner.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and short term notes represent the estimated fair value due to the short-term nature of the accounts.

The carrying value of the Company’s debt under its line-of-credit with related party represents its estimated fair value due to its short-term nature, its rate of interest, associated fees and expenses and initially recorded discount.

In accordance with ASC Topic 820 —Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), the Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets, liabilities or a group of assets or liabilities, such as a business.

ASC 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

● Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

● Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities).

● Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value.

The estimated initial fair value and subsequent re-measurement of fair values related to the Company’s Series A and B redeemable convertible preferred stock was determined based upon estimates of the expected occurrence and timing of certain future events, such as the date such shares might be redeemed or converted; an estimate of discount rates to be utilized in determining net present value of the preferred stock, based upon rates observed in similar or analogous, but not identical, market transactions, upon past Company-specific effective borrowing rates, and the assessment of each instrument’s specific rights and obligations. The fair value for the Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock outstanding as of December 31, 2013 was classified under the fair value hierarchy as Level 3.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities, all of which are related to detachable warrants issued and the conversion feature granted in connection with notes payable, were estimated using a closed-ended option pricing model utilizing assumptions related to the contractual term of the instruments, estimated volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, interest rates, the probability of both the downward adjustment of the exercise price and the upward adjustment to the number of warrants as provided by the warrant agreement terms and non-performance risk factors, among other items . The fair values for the warrant derivatives as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 were classified under the fair value hierarchy as Level 3.

The following table represents the Company’s hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and 2013:

December 31, 2014 Level 1  Level 2  Level 3  Total 
Liabilities                
Derivative liabilities $-  $-  $701,214  $701,214 
                 
December 31, 2013  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Liabilities                
Derivative liabilities $-  $-  $853,365  $853,365 
Redeemable, convertible preferred stock                
Series-B (related party) $-  $-  $1,656,265  $1,656,265 
  $-  $-  $2,509,630  $2,509,630 

There were no changes in valuation techniques or reclassifications of fair value measurements between Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Net Loss per Share

Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 260,Earnings per Share, basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common share equivalents included in the diluted computation represent shares issuable upon assumed exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock and “if converted” method. For periods in which net losses from continuing operations are incurred, weighted average shares outstanding is the same for basic and diluted loss per share calculations, as the inclusion of common share equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect.

Potential common shares as of December 31, 2014 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share amounted to 7,867,210 shares, which included 3,662,710 outstanding warrants and 4,204,500 outstanding stock options.

Foreign Currency

The United States dollar is the functional currency for the Company’s operations. Although the Company’s acquisition and exploration activities have been conducted in Nicaragua, a significant portion of the payments incurred for exploration activities are denominated in United States dollars. The Company expects that a significant portion of its required and discretionary expenditures in the foreseeable future will also be denominated in United States dollars. Any foreign currency gains and losses are included in the consolidated results of operations in the period in which they occur. The Company does not have any cash accounts denominated in foreign currencies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company evaluates the pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, including the FASB and the SEC, to determine the impact of new pronouncements on GAAP and the Company. There are no new accounting pronouncements that have been issued or adopted during the year ended December 31, 2014, that are expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period were reclassified to conform with the current period’s financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net loss or accumulated deficit.

Note 2 – Debt

Debt consists of the following at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

  December 31,2014  December 31, 2013 
Line-of-credit with related party $33,807  $94,640 
Notes payable, short term:        
Note payable, net of unamortized discount of $41,011 and $784,096, of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively $1,008,989  $265,904 
Note payable, net of unamortized discount of $822 and $-0-, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively  24,178   - 
Note payable, net of unamortized discount of $27,712 and $-0-, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively  72,288   - 
Notes payable, net of unamortized discount of $175,248 and $-0-, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively  124,752   - 
Notes payable, net of unamortized discount of $39,452 and $-0-, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively  110,548   - 
Total notes payable, short-term $1,340,755  $265,904 

Line-of-Credit with Related Party

The Company entered into a line-of-credit facility on September 23, 2013 which provides for borrowings on a revolving basis up to a maximum of $50,000 (maximum increased to $100,000 at December 31, 2013) with an initial maturity of November 23, 2013. The entity providing the credit facility is owned by an officer of another corporation for which Infinity’s president and chairman of the board serves as president and chairman of the board. The facility is unsecured, bears interest at 8% per annum, and was renewed at its maturity on November 23, 2013 for an additional two months or until January 23, 2014. On such date the parties renewed the credit facility until April 23, 2014 and subsequently renewed it until February 28, 2015. In consideration for the origination of the line of credit facility and the various renewals, the Company granted the lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 450,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (as amended on January 23, 2014), which warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on various dates from September 23, 2018 to October 23, 2019 (as amended). The parties agreed as a condition to the renewal of the facility in January 2014 that all warrants would be extended to a five-year term and the exercise price reduced to $1.50 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants at $60,290 as of the original grant date in 2013, which amount has been recorded as debt issuance costs and classified in prepaid expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimated the fair value of the new warrants exercisable to purchase 400,000 shares issued to extend the facility during 2014 and the increased value of the amended warrants to be $603,966, which has been recorded as additional debt issuance costs and classified in prepaid expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Such debt issuance costs are amortized ratably over the term of the credit facility and each respective extension, which totaled $47,568 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the remaining unamortized balance was $12,723 as of December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014, a total of $641,210 of debt issuance costs were amortized to interest expense and the remaining unamortized balance was $23,046 as of December 31, 2014.

Note Payable – Short-term

On December 27, 2013 the Company borrowed $1,050,000 under an unsecured credit facility with a private, third-party lender. The facility is represented by a promissory note (the “Note”) with an original due date of March 12, 2014. On March 7, 2014 the Company and the lender agreed to extend the maturity date of the Note to May 9, 2014 and on such date the parties agreed to extend the maturity date of the Note to December 7, 2014. On November 19, 2014 the parties agreed to further extend the maturity date of the Note to April 7, 2015 (the “New Maturity Date”). All other terms of the Note remain the same.

In connection with one of the extensions of the Note, the Company agreed to enter into a definitive revenue sharing agreement with the lender to grant the lender under the revenue sharing agreement an irrevocable right to receive a monthly payment equal to one half of one percent (1/2%) of the gross revenue derived from the share of all hydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions and any other oil and gas concessions that the Company and its affiliates may acquire in the future. This percent increased to one percent (1%) when the Company did not pay the Note in full by August 7, 2014. Therefore, the revenue sharing agreement is fixed at one percent (1%). The Company paid no other consideration in connection with the extensions of the Note, but paid the legal expenses of the lender related to the extensions of $25,000. The Note may be prepaid without penalty at any time. The Note is subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness, as such terms are defined in the Note.

The value of the one percent (1.0%) definitive revenue sharing agreement granted to the lender as consideration for the extension of the maturity date to December 7, 2014 was estimated to be $964,738. Such amount has been reflected as a reduction of oil and gas properties and as a discount on the renewed note payable and will be amortized ratably over the extended term of the note.

In connection with its loan, the Company granted the lender a Warrant exercisable to purchase 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. In connection with the extension to the New Maturity Date, the parties amended the date for exercise of the Warrant to be a period commencing April 7, 2015 and expiring on the third anniversary of such date. The Company issued no additional warrants to the lender in connection with the extension of the Note to the New Maturity Date. If the Company fails to pay the Note on or before its New Maturity Date, the number of shares issuable under the Warrant increases to 13,333,333 and the exercise price drops to $0.075 per share. All other terms of the Warrant remain the same. The warrant has been treated as a derivative liability whereby the value of warrant is estimated at the date of grant and recorded as a derivative liability and as a discount on the note payable. The warrant liability is revalued to fair value at each reporting date with the corresponding income (loss) reflected in the statement of operations as change in derivative liability. The discount is amortized ratably through the original maturity date and each of the extended maturity dates.

The total discount recorded as of the December 27, 2013 origination date of the note was $890,103. The total additional discount recorded in 2014 as a result of the amendments to the note terms and extensions of the maturity date totaled $1,048,507. Discount amortization expense aggregated $93,507 and $1,804,092 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively and the remaining unamortized discount was $41,011 and $796,596 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

On January 2, 2014 it borrowed a total of $50,000 from an individual under a promissory note bearing interest at 8% per annum and an April 2, 2014 maturity date. The note was paid off on its maturity date. In connection with the loan, the Company issued the lender a warrant exercisable to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share for a term of two years from the date of the note. The terms of the note and warrant provided that if the note and interest are not paid in full by the note’s maturity date, the exercise price of the warrant automatically reduced to $0.50 per share. The ratchet provision in the warrant exercise price required that the warrant be accounted for as a derivative liability until the underlying promissory note was paid off. The Company recorded the estimated fair value of the warrants totaling $33,852 as a discount on the underlying note payable and as a derivative liability in the same amount as of the date of the note. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes discount amortization in the amount of $33,852. The value of the warrant was $35,280 as of the date the underlying promissory note was paid off which was transitioned to additional paid in capital.

The terms of the note and warrant provide that if the note and interest are not be paid in full by its maturity date, the conversion price of the note and the exercise price of the warrant automatically reduce to $0.50 per share. The ratchet provision in the note conversion and warrant exercise price required that the conversion feature and warrants be accounted for as derivative liabilities. The Company recorded the estimated fair value of the conversion feature and warrants totaling $143,502 as a discount on note payable and as a derivative liability in the same amount, on the origination date of the note. In addition, the fair value of the new warrants issued and changes to previously issued warrants at the date of the extension was estimated at $70,924, which was also recorded as a discount on the note and a derivative liability. The Company amortizes the discount to interest ratably over the term of the note. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 includes discount amortization in the amount of $186,714 and as of December 31, 2014, the remaining unamortized discount was $27,712.

The terms of the notes and warrants provide that if the notes and interest are not be paid in full by their respective maturity dates, the conversion price of the notes and the exercise price of the warrants automatically reduce to $0.50 per share. The ratchet provision contained in the note conversion and warrant exercise price required that these be accounted for as derivative liabilities. The Company recorded the estimated fair value of the conversion feature and warrants totaling $278,585 as a discount on note payable and as a derivative liability in the same amount, as of the date of the respective notes. In addition, the fair value of the new warrants issued and changes to previously issued warrants at the date of the extension was estimated at $436,366 which was also recorded as a discount on the note and a derivative liability. The Company amortizes the discount to interest ratably over the term of the note.

Note 3 –Convertible Preferred Stock

On February 28, 2012, the Company signed definitive agreements with Amegy and Off-Shore relatingUp to outstanding debt and other obligations owed them. In accordance with these agreements, on April 13, 2012, the Company issued Amegy 2,000,000 shares of common stock and 130,000 shares of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock, and issued Off-Shore 15,016 shares of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock. Amegy also agreed to cancel the Amegy Warrant that had originally been issued in February 2011 exercisable to purchase 931,561 shares of common stock. In aggregate, the Company cancelled debt, accrued interest and fees and the derivative liability that had been recorded relative to the Amegy Warrant in the aggregate amount of $21,883,393.

The Series A and Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock had a 6% annual dividend and were convertible into common stock at a price of $6.50 per share. Both series of preferred stock would automatically convert into common stock if the average of the closing prices of the common stock for 30 consecutive trading days equaled at least $7.50 per share. The Company had the right to redeem both series of preferred stock at any point for an amount equal to their issue price of $100 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends; however, the Series A preferred stock had a higher liquidation preference and had to be redeemed prior to any redemption of Series B preferred stock. Commencing January 1, 2013, the Series A preferred stock would vote with the common stock on all matters presented to the holders of the common stock. Beginning January 1, 2014, the Series A preferred shareholders would have a majority vote on all such matters and the right to elect a majority of the Board of Directors, if the Series A preferred stock had not been redeemed or converted into common stock. Series B preferred stock had no voting privileges. Neither series of preferred stock was transferrable for 180 days after issuance.

On December 30, 2013, the Company completed all transactions contemplated by a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) between it and Amegy. Under the Agreement Amegy exchanged all of its 130,000 shares of Series A preferred stock of the Company that it owned for 3,250,000 shares of common stock. Each share of Series A preferred stock had a price of $100. Amegy also agreed to receive an additional 341,250 shares of common stock for $1,365,000, the amount of the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A preferred stock as of the date of the transaction. As a result, the Company issued a total of 3,591,250 new shares of common stock valued at $4.00 per share. Accordingly, the transactions were valued at $14,365,000, which has been reflected as common stock and additional paid in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Effective February 28, 2014, the Company received Conversion Notices from Offshore that effected the conversion of all Series B preferred stock outstanding including accrued and unpaid dividends thereon into shares of common stock. In the transaction, Offshore exchanged all of its 15,016 shares of Series B preferred stock for 375,400 shares of common stock. Each share of Series B preferred had a liquidation and par value of $100. The Company also issued Offshore an additional 45,048 shares of common stock for $180,192, the amount of the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B preferred stock as of the effective date of the transaction. As a result, the Company issued a total of 420,448 shares of common stock valued at $4.00 per share, for a total of $1,681,792, which has been reflected as common stock and additional paid in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Note 4 – Common Stock

During 2014, the Company issued a total of 100,000 shares of common stock to an individual to settle outstanding litigation (See Note 10). The Company recorded the issuance of the 100,000 shares based upon the closing market price on the date of issuance and a corresponding credit to common stock and additional paid-in capital of $115,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company conducted a private placement of its common stock in which it sold 556,250 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one half of a common stock purchase warrant at a price of $1.60 per unit, for total proceeds of $890,000. One holder of a promissory note issued by the Company in February 2013 participated in the private placement and converted the principal amount of $125,000 plus accrued interest into 79,170 units. As a result of the conversion, the Company recognized a loss on conversion of $11,085 during the year ended December 31, 2013. The common stock purchase warrants provide for an exercise price of $2.50 per share, are immediately exercisable and have a term of five years.

During 2013, the Company issued a total of 40,000 shares of common stock to third parties for services rendered. The Company recorded general and administrative expense of $80,750 which was determined based upon the closing market price on the date of issuance and a corresponding credit to common stock and additional paid-in capital.

During 2013, a warrant holder exercised warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock on a cashless basis resulting in 31,521 net shares being issued to the warrant holder after 93,479 shares were surrendered relative to the cashless exercise provision.

Note 5 – Stock Options

The Company applies ASC 718,Stock Compensation, which requires companies to recognize compensation expense for share-based payments based on the estimated fair value of the awards. ASC 718 also requires tax benefits relating to the deductibility of increases in the value of equity instruments issued under share-based compensation arrangements to be presented as financing cash inflows in the statement of cash flows. Compensation cost is recognized based on the grant-date fair value for all share-based payments granted, and is estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718.

In May 2006, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), under which both incentive and non-statutory stock options may be granted to employees, officers, non-employee directors and consultants. An aggregate of 470,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan. In June 2005, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”), under which both incentive and non-statutory stock options may be granted to employees, officers, non-employee directors and consultants. An aggregate of 475,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2005 Plan. Options granted under the 2005 Plan and 2006 Plan allow for the purchase of common stock at prices not less than the fair market value of such stock at the date of grant, become exercisable immediately or as directed by the Company’s Board of Directors and generally expire ten years after the date of grant. The Company also has other equity incentive plans with terms similar to the 2005 and 2006 Plans. As of December 31, 2014, 136,500 shares were available for future grants under all plans.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the option award, expected stock price volatility and expected dividends. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. For purposes of estimating the expected term of options granted, the Company aggregates option recipients into groups that have similar option exercise behavioral traits. Expected volatilities used in the valuation model are based on the expected volatility that would be used by an independent market participant in the valuation of certain of the Company’s warrants. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company’s forfeiture rate assumption used in determining its stock-based compensation expense is estimated based on historical data for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The actual forfeiture rate could differ from these estimates. The following table summarizes the inputs used in the calculation of fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

  Year Ended
December 31,
 
  2014  2013

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in connection with the vesting of options granted aggregating $1,087,103 and $1,631,098 during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company granted options exercisable to purchase 900,000 shares with an exercise price of $3.00 per share and a term of ten years. A total of 300,000 shares vested immediately while the remaining 600,000 shares vest at a rate of 300,000 shares for each of the two years thereafter. The weighted average grant date fair value for these options was $1.22 per share which was calculated using the Black-Scholes option model.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company granted options exercisable to purchase 96,000 shares with an exercise price of $3.00 per share and terms ranging from five to ten years. A total of 56,000 shares vested immediately while the remaining 40,000 shares vest at a rate of 20,000 shares for each of the two years thereafter.

The unrecognized compensation cost as of December 31, 2014 related to the unvested stock options as of that date was $201,104.

Note 6 – Derivative Instruments and Warrants

Commodity Derivatives

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no oil and natural gas derivative arrangements outstanding.

Derivatives – Warrants Issued Relative to Note Payables

The estimated fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities, all of which are related to the conversion features and detachable warrants issued in connection with notes payable, were estimated using a closed-ended option pricing model utilizing assumptions related to the contractual term of the instruments, estimated volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, interest rates, the probability of both the downward adjustment of the exercise price and the upward adjustment to the number of warrants as provided by the note payable and warrant agreement terms (Note 2) and non-performance risk factors, among other items (ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) fair value hierarchy Level 3). When the note payable is extinguished, the derivative liability will be adjusted to fair value and the resulting derivative liability will be transitioned from a liability to equity as of such date. One of the notes payable was extinguished during the year ended December 31, 2014. A comparison of the assumptions used in calculating estimated fair value of derivative liabilities at the issue date and as of the date of the transition from liability to equity during the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

 Upon Issuance  As of date of transition to equity  As of
December 31 2014
 
          
Volatility – range  91% - 156%   105%  102% - 104% 
Contractual term  0.5 - 5 years   1.75 years   0.5 - 5 years 
Exercise price  $1.00 - $1.50  $1.50   $1.00 - $1.50 
Number of warrants in aggregate  1,125,000   50,000   2,075,000 

A comparison of the assumptions used in calculating estimated fair value of derivative liabilities at the issue date and as of the date of the transition from liability to equity during the year ended December 31, 2013 is as follows:

  Upon Issuance  As of date of transition to equity  As of
December 31, 2013
 
          
Volatility – range  89.75% - 102.3%   88.07% - 136.11%   102.2%

For income tax purposes, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $57,710,000, which expire from 2025 through 2029. The Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of realizing the tax benefits from its net deferred tax asset.

The Company previously appealed an assessment of Kansas corporate income tax that had been issued by the Department of Revenue for the tax year ended December 31, 2006 in the amount of approximately $653,000, which was accrued for and was reported under accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. On July 30, 2013, the Kansas Department of Revenue issued a letter to the Company advising it that it no longer owed any corporate income tax to the State of Kansas and has released the Company from the payment of such taxes. Consequently, the related accrual was reversed and an income tax benefit of $653,000 was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The Company has not completed the filing of tax returns for the tax years 2012 through 2014. Therefore, all such tax returns are open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

The Internal Revenue Code contains provisions under Section 382 which limit a company’s ability to utilize net operating loss carry-forwards in the event that it has experienced a more than 50% change in ownership over a three-year period. Current estimates prepared by the Company indicate that no ownership changes have occurred, and are currently not subject to an annual limitation, but may be further limited by additional ownership changes which may occur in the future

As discussed in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process. Management first determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management has identified no tax positions taken that would meet or exceed these thresholds and therefore there are no gross interest, penalties and unrecognized tax expense/benefits that are not expected to ultimately result in payment or receipt of cash in the consolidated financial statements.

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has not maintained insurance coverage on its U.S domestic oil and gas properties for several years. The Company is not in compliance with Federal and State laws regarding the U.S. domestic oil and gas properties. The Company’s known compliance issues relate to the Texas Railroad Commission regarding administrative filings and renewal permits relative to its Texas oil and gas properties that were sold in 2012. The ultimate resolution of these compliance issues could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Nicaraguan Concessions

The Company received notification of final approval of the EIA by the Nicaraguan government onApril 13, 2013, which beganSub-Period 2 as defined in the Nicaraguan concessions. Therefore, the Company has progressed to Sub-Period 2 of the exploration phase of the 30-year Concession for both Perlas and Tyra as of December 31, 2014. In accordance with the Nicaraguan Concession agreements, the Company has provided the Ministry of Energy with the required letters of credit in the amounts of $443,100 for Perlas (expired March 2014) and $408,450 for Tyra (expired September 2014). The Company has also made all required expenditures related to the Nicaraguan Concessions for training programs and as “area fees,” for each respective year for 2010 through 2014. The Company is currently negotiating the renewal of the required letters of credit with the Nicaraguan Government and its lenders; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in that regard. The Company considers it is fully in compliance with the terms of the Nicaraguan Concessions agreements, except for the renewal of the expired letters of credit, and is in year three of the exploration phase of the 30-year Nicaraguan Concessions.

Sub-Period 2 of the exploration phase began April 13, 2013, when the Nicaraguan Government approved the environmental impact study. The minimum cash requirements related to the maintain the Nicaraguan Concessions for the next twelve month period will be approximately $7,945,000, of which $4,945,000 is related to seismic activities already performed (in December 2013) but not yet paid, approximately $2,500,000 for new seismic activities to be performed in 2015 and $500,000 is related to the training fees, area fees and other expenditures required under the Nicaraguan Concession. In addition to the minimum cash requirements related to the Nicaraguan Concessions, the Company estimates that it will require approximately $330,000 of working capital to maintain corporate operations for the next 12 months, but not including approximately $1,659,000 principal amount of short-term promissory notes due in February and April 2015, plus accrued interest, and other obligations owed to third parties.

Revenue Sharing Commitments

On March 23, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated effective as of March 23, 2009, with Off-Shore, an accredited investor, to issue a subordinated secured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,275,000 and a one percent (1%) revenue sharing interest in the Nicaraguan Concessions. Off-Shore funded a total of $1,275,000 and subsequently converted the subordinated secured promissory note to common stock (See Note 3).

Under the Revenue Sharing Agreement (the “Revenue Agreement”), Infinity assigned to Off-Shore a monthly payment (the “RSP”) equal to the revenue derived from one percent (1%) of Infinity’s share of the hydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The RSP will bear its proportionate share of all costs incurred to deliver the hydrocarbons to the point of sale to an unaffiliated purchaser, including its share of production, severance and similar taxes, and certain additional costs. The RSP will be paid to Off-Shore by the last day of each month based on the revenue received by Infinity from the purchaser of the production during the previous month from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Revenue Agreement does not create any obligation for Infinity to maintain or develop the Nicaraguan Concessions, and does not create any rights in the Nicaraguan Concessions for Off-Shore. In connection with its dissolution Off-Shore assigned its RSP to its individual members.

On June 6, 2009 the Company entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement with the officers and directors for services provided. Infinity assigned to officers and directors a monthly payment equal to the revenue derived from one percent (1%) of Infinity’s share of the hydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The RSP will bear its proportionate share of all costs incurred to deliver the hydrocarbons to the point of sale to an unaffiliated purchaser, including its share of production, severance and similar taxes, and certain additional costs. The RSP shall be paid by the last day of each month based on the revenue received by Infinity from the purchaser of the production during the previous month from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Revenue Agreement does not create any obligation for Infinity to maintain or develop the Nicaraguan Concessions, and does not create any rights in the Nicaraguan Concessions for officers and directors.

The Company intends to seek joint venture or working interest partners (the “Farmout”) prior to the commencement of any exploratory drilling operations on the Nicaraguan Concessions. On September 8, 2009 the Company entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement with Jeff Roberts to assist the Company with its technical studies of gas and oil holdings in Nicaragua and managing and assisting in the Farmout. Infinity assigned to Jeff Roberts a monthly payment equal to the revenue derived from one percent (1%) of Infinity’s share of the hydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The RSP will bear its proportionate share of all costs incurred to deliver the hydrocarbons to the point of sale to an unaffiliated purchaser, including its share of production, severance and similar taxes, and certain additional costs. The RSP shall be paid to Jeff Roberts by the last day of each month based on the revenue received by Infinity from the purchaser of the production during the previous month from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Revenue Agreement does not create any obligation for Infinity to maintain or develop the Nicaraguan Concessions, and does not create any rights in the Nicaraguan Concessions for Jeff Roberts.

On September 8, 2009 the Company entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement with Thompson Knight Global Energy Services (“Thompson Knight”) to assist the Company with its technical studies of gas and oil holdings in Nicaragua and managing and assisting in the Farmout. Infinity assigned to Thompson Knight a monthly payment equal to the revenue derived from one percent (1%) of Infinity’s share of the hydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The RSP shall bear its proportionate share of all costs incurred to deliver the hydrocarbons to the point of sale to an unaffiliated purchaser, including its share of production, severance and similar taxes, and certain additional costs. The RSP shall be paid to Thompson Knight by the last day of each month based on the revenue received by Infinity from the purchaser of the production during the previous month from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Revenue Agreement does not create any obligation for Infinity to maintain or develop the Nicaraguan Concessions, and does not create any rights in the Nicaraguan Concessions for Thompson Knight. This Revenue Sharing Agreement was terminated effective December 31, 2014 as a result of the Letter of Intent entered into with Granada Exploration, LLC (See “Letter of Intent to enter Exploration Services Agreement”)

In connection with the extension of the Note payable with a $1,050,000 principal balance issued in December 2013, the Company entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement in May 2014. Infinity assigned to the note holder a monthly payment equal to the revenue derived from one percent (1%) of 8/8ths of Infinity’s share of the hydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions and any other oil and gas concessions that the Company and its affiliates may acquire in the future. The RSP will bear its proportionate share of all costs incurred to deliver the hydrocarbons to the point of sale to an unaffiliated purchaser, including its share of production, severance and similar taxes, and certain additional costs. The RSP shall be paid by the last day of each month based on the revenue received by Infinity from the purchaser of the production during the previous month from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Revenue Agreement does not create any obligation for Infinity to maintain or develop the Nicaraguan Concessions, and does not create any rights in the Nicaraguan Concessions for officers and directors.

Letter of Intent to enter Exploration Services Agreement

On October 13, 2014 the Company announced that it had entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Granada Exploration, LLC, which has agreed to join with the Company to explore for potential hydrocarbons beneath Infinity’s 1.4 million-acre oil and gas concessions in the Caribbean Sea offshore Nicaragua. Under the terms of the LOI, Granada Exploration will provide its services in exchange for a working interest in the Nicaraguan Concessions. The scope of such services will be more specifically described in a mutually acceptable Exploration Services Agreement (“ESA”), which is currently being negotiated. The ESA is anticipated to provide that Granada will earn an assignment from Infinity of an undivided 30% working interest in the Concessions, based on an 80% net revenue interest. Granada and Infinity are also anticipated to enter into a Joint Operating Agreement. Granada may, at its discretion, participate in an initial exploratory well for up to an additional undivided 20% working interest, on a prospect-by-prospect basis, with such additional interest to be based on an 80% net revenue interest.

The LOI is subject to Granada’s normal and customary due diligence, including the evaluation of the Company’s Form 10-K and 10-Q filings, documents showing that the Company is in good standing regarding the Nicaraguan Concessions and with the Nicaraguan government; negotiation and approval of mutually acceptable formal agreements; and final approval by a majority of the partners that comprise Granada Exploration, LLC. The parties continue to negotiate the terms of the ESA but have not entered into definitive agreements and Granada has not completed its normal and customary due diligence.

Lack of Compliance with Law Regarding Domestic Properties

Infinity has not been in compliance with existing federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations for its previously owned domestic oil and gas properties and this could have a material or significantly adverse effect upon the liquidity, capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of Infinity. All domestic oil and gas properties held by Infinity – Wyoming and Infinity-Texas have been disposed of as of December 31, 2014; however, the Company may remain liable for certain asset retirement costs should the new owners not complete their obligations. Management believes the estimate of asset retirement obligations as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 is sufficient to cover any noncompliance liabilities. Management believes the total asset retirement obligations recorded of $1,716,003 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 is sufficient to cover any potential noncompliance liabilities relative to the to the plugging of abandoned wells, the removal of facilities and equipment, and site restoration on oil and gas properties for its former oil and gas properties. The Company has not maintained insurance on the domestic properties for a number of years.

Contingent Fees

In addition to the Revenue Sharing Agreement with Thompson Knight to assist the Company with its technical studies of gas and oil holdings in Nicaragua and managing and assisting in the Farmout, the Company agreed to compensate Thompson Knight a success fee of 5% of the upfront cash fee paid to Infinity by a third party earning an interest in the Nicaragua asset up to $20 million and 10% of any amount exceeding the $20 million. A 2% success fee would be paid to Thompson Knight of the remaining cash investment in subsequent years. This success fee agreement is has been terminated effective December 31, 2014 as a result of the Letter of Intent entered into with Granada Exploration, LLC (See “Letter of Intent to enter Exploration Services Agreement”).

Litigation

The Company is subject to numerous claims and legal actions in which vendors are claiming breach of contract due to the Company’s failure to pay amounts due. The Company believes that it has made adequate provision for these claims in the accompanying financial statements.

The Company is currently involved in litigation as follows:

Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P., f/k/a Hanover Compression Limited Partnership, who filed an action in the District Court of Erath County, Texas, number CV30512, on March 31, 2010 against Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc., Infinity Energy Resources, Inc., Longhorn Properties, LLC, and Forest Oil Corporation. Exterran Energy Solutions, L.P. provided certain gas compressor and related equipment pursuant to a Gas Compressor/Production Equipment Master Rental & Servicing Agreement with Infinity dated January 3, 2005 in Erath County, Texas and has claiming breach of contract for failure to pay amounts due. On October 13, 2011, a default judgment was entered against the Company in the amount of $445,521 plus interest and attorney fees. The Company has included the impacts of this litigation as liabilities in its accounts payable. The Company will seek to settle the default judgment when it has the financial resources to do so.

In October 2012 the State of Texas filed a lawsuit naming Infinity-Texas, the Company and the corporate officers of Infinity-Texas, seeking $30,000 of reclamation costs associated with a single well, in addition to administrative expenses and penalties. The Company has engaged in negotiations with the State of Texas in late 2012 and early 2013 and has reached a settlement agreement that would reduce the aggregate liability, in this action and any extension of this to other Texas wells, to $45,103, which amount has been paid. Certain performance obligations remain which must be satisfied in order to finally settle and dismiss the matter.

Pending satisfactory performance of the performance obligations and their acceptance by the State of Texas, the officers retain potential liability on the above matter, and the officers are held personally harmless by indemnification provisions of the Company. Therefore these liabilities, to the extent they might become actual, are the obligations of the Company. Management estimates that the liabilities associated with this matter will not exceed $780,000, calculated as $30,000 for each of the 26 Infinity-Texas operated wells. This related liability, less the payment made to the State of Texas in 2012 in the amount of $45,103, is classified as an asset retirement obligation on the consolidated balance sheets.

●Timothy Berge, who filed an action in the District Court, City and County of Denver Colorado number 09CV9566, was granted a default judgment on November 8, 2010 against the Company in the amount of $304,921 plus costs. Mr. Berge provided certain geological services to Infinity Oil and Gas of Texas, Inc. and claimed breach of contract for failure to pay amounts he alleged were due. The Company was unable to defend itself in this matter due to limited financial resources even though it believes that it had meritorious defenses. On May 27, 2014 the Company settled this litigation by the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock and the payment of $10,000 cash. The Company had previously established a provision of $304,878 related to this litigation as an accrued liability in the accompanying balance sheet. The value of the 100,000 shares of common stock and $10,000 cash paid in settlement of this litigation totaled $125,000, resulting in a gain of $179,878 which was recorded in the statement of operations.

●Cambrian Consultants America, Inc. (“Cambrian”) filed an action in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, number CV2014-55719, on September 26, 2014 against Infinity Energy Resources, Inc. resulting from certain professional consulting services provided for quality control and management of seismic operations during November and December 2013 on the Company’s offshore Nicaraguan Concessions. Cambrian provided these services pursuant to a Master Consulting Agreement with Infinity dated November 20, 2013 and is claiming breach of contract for failure to pay amounts due. On December 8, 2014, a default judgment was entered against the Company in the amount of $96,877 plus interest and attorney fees. The Company has included the impact of this litigation as a liability in its accounts payable. The Company will seek to settle the default judgment when it has the financial resources to do so.

Torrey Hills Capital, Inc. (“Torrey”) notified the Company by letter dated August 15, 2014 of its demand for the payment of $56,000, which it alleged was unpaid and owed under a consulting agreement dated October 18, 2013. The parties entered into a consulting agreement under which Torrey agreed to provide investor relations services in exchange for payment of $7,000 per month and the issuance of 15,000 shares of common stock. The agreement was for an initial three month-term with automatic renewals unless terminated upon 30 days written notice by either party. The Company made payments totaling $14,000 and issued 15,000 shares of common stock during 2013. The Company contends that Torrey breached the agreement by not performing the required services and that it had provided proper notice of termination to Torrey. Furthermore, the Company contends that the parties agreed to settle the dispute on or around June 19, 2014 under which it would issue 28,000 shares of common stock in full settlement of any balance then owed and final termination of the agreement. Torrey disputes the Company’s contentions and has submitted the dispute to binding arbitration. The Company has accrued $49,000 in accounts payable as of December 31, 2014, which management believes is sufficient to provide for the ultimate resolution of this dispute.

Note 11 – Related Party Transactions

The Company currently does not have any employees other than the CEO and CFO. Certain general and administrative services (for which payment is deferred) has been provided by the CFO’s accounting firm at its standard billing rates plus out-of-pocket expenses and consist primarily of accounting, tax and other administrative fees. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company was billed $0 for such services. The amount due to the CFO’s firm for services provided was $767,407 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and is included in accrued liabilities at both dates.

On June 6, 2009 the Company entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement with the officers and directors for services provided. Infinity assigned to officers and directors a monthly payment equal to the revenue derived from one percent (1%) of Infinity’s share of the hydrocarbons produced at the wellhead from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The RSP will bear its proportionate share of all costs incurred to deliver the hydrocarbons to the point of sale to an unaffiliated purchaser, including its share of production, severance and similar taxes, and certain additional costs. The RSP shall be paid by the last day of each month based on the revenue received by Infinity from the purchaser of the production during the previous month from the Nicaraguan Concessions. The Revenue Agreement does not create any obligation for Infinity to maintain or develop the Nicaraguan Concessions and does not create any rights in the Nicaraguan Concessions for officers and directors.

The Company entered into a subordinated loan with Off-Shore in the aggregate amount of $1,275,000 for funds used to maintain the Nicaraguan Concessions. This note was satisfied by the Company’s issuance of shares of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock effective April 13, 2012 to Off-Shore (see Note 3) and the conversion of the Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock to common stock effective February 28, 2014. The managing partner of Off-Shore and the CFO are partners in the accounting firm which the Company uses for general corporate purposes. In the February 2014 transaction, Offshore exchanged all of its 15,016 shares of Series B preferred stock for 375,400 shares of common stock. Each share of Series B preferred had a liquidation and par value of $100. The Company also issued Offshore an additional 45,048 shares of common stock for $180,192, the amount of the accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B preferred stock as of the effective date of the transaction. As a result, the Company issued a total of 420,448 shares of common stock valued at $4.00 per share for a total of $1,681,792, which has been reflected as common stock and additional paid in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with its subordinated loan, Off-Shore was granted a one percent (1%) revenue sharing interest in the Nicaraguan Concessions. The managing partner of Off-Shore and the CFO are partners in the accounting firm which the Company uses for general corporate purposes. The revenue sharing interest remains in effect after the conversion of the subordinated promissory note to Series A preferred stock and subsequently to common stock. In connection with its dissolution Off-Shore assigned its RSP to its individual members, which includes the former managing partner of Offshore.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had accrued compensation to its officers and directors of $1,187,208 and $1,081,708, respectively.

On August 28, 2012, the Company borrowed $250,000 from an entity that was 49% owned by a board member of another corporation for which Infinity’s CEO serves as CEO and chairman of the board. The Company issued a short-term note to the entity bearing interest at 8% per annum and maturing February 28, 2013. The note was repaid February 27, 2013. In connection with the transaction, the Company issued the lender a warrant exercisable to purchase 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.50 per share, expiring August 2017.

The Company entered into a line-of-credit facility on September 23, 2013 which provides for borrowings on a revolving basis up to a maximum of $50,000 (maximum increased to $100,000 at December 31, 2013) with an initial maturity of November 23, 2013. The entity providing the credit facility is owned by an officer of another corporation for which Infinity’s president and chairman of the board serves as president and chairman of the board. The facility is unsecured, bears interest at 8% per annum, and was renewed at its maturity on November 23, 2013 for an additional two months or until January 23, 2014. On such date the parties renewed the credit facility until April 23, 2014 and subsequently renewed it until February 28, 2015. In consideration for the origination of the line of credit facility and the various renewals, the Company granted the lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 450,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (as amended on January 23, 2014), which warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on various dates from September 23, 2018 to October 23, 2019 (as amended). The parties agreed as a condition to the renewal of the facility in January 2014 that all warrants would be extended to a five-year term and the exercise price reduced to $1.50 per share. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants at $60,290 as of the original grant date in 2013, which amount has been recorded as debt issuance costs and classified in prepaid expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimated the fair value of the 400,000 new warrants issued to extend the facility during 2014 and the increased value of the amended warrants to be $603,966, which has been recorded as additional debt issuance costs and classified in prepaid expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

On March 7, 2014 the Company borrowed $10,000 from an individual who is related to Infinity’s Chairman and President. The note was due on demand and bore interest at 8% per annum. This demand note was repaid in full during April 2014.

Note 12 – Subsequent Events

The Company has not resolved the contingency related to the expired letters of credit for its Nicaraguan concessions (See Note 10). The Company continues to negotiate the renewal of the letters of credit with the Nicaraguan Government and its lenders; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in that regard.

On January 7, 2014 the Company borrowed $25,000 from an individual under a convertible note with a conversion price of $1.50 per share. The term of the note was for one year and it bears interest at 8% per annum. In connection with the loan, the Company issued the lender a warrant exercisable to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share for a term of five years from the date of the note. The terms of the note and warrant provide that if the note is not paid in full by its maturity date, the conversion price of the note and exercise price of the warrant automatically reduce to $0.50 per share. On January 7, 2015, the Company and the holder agreed to extend the maturity date of the note to February 28, 2015 and in consideration the Company granted it an additional 25,000 warrants with an exercise price of $1.00 per share for a five-year term and reduced the exercise price of the previously issued warrants to $1.00 per share.

The Company did not pay any compensation or fees to any party in connection with the issuance of the shares of Common Stock, but paid such noteholders fees totaling $55,363 in connection with the conversion of their loans.

The Company entered into a line-of-credit facility on September 23, 2013, which after amendments, provides for borrowings on a revolving basis up to a maximum of $100,000 at March 31, 2015. The parties agreed to extend the maturity date of this facility November 23, 2013 to January 23, 2014 and subsequently to March 31, 2015. The entity providing the credit facility is owned by an officer of another corporation for which the Company’s president and chairman of the board serves as president and chairman of the board. The facility is convertible at and exchange rate of $0.50 per share, is unsecured and bears interest at 8% per annum. The Company granted the lender common stock purchase warrants to acquire a total of 200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share (as amended on March 26, 2015), which warrants are immediately exercisable and expire from February 28, 2020 to March 26, 2020. The parties agreed as a condition to the renewal of the line-of-credit in February 2015 that all previously existing warrants would be extended to a five-year term and the exercise price reduced to $0.50 per share. On February 28, 2015, the line-of-credit facility matured and the Company was unable to repay the principal and interest.

On August 28, 2012, the Company borrowed $250,000 from an entity that was 49% owned by a board member of another corporation for which Infinity’s CEO serves as CEO and chairman of the board. The Company issued a short-term note to the entity bearing interest at 8% per annum and maturing February 28, 2013. The note was repaid February 27, 2013. In connection with the transaction, the Company issued the lender a warrant exercisable to purchase 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $2.50 per share, expiring August 2017.

On March 31, 2015 the Company negotiated an extension of the facility to May 28, 2015 and granted the lender common stock purchase warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, which warrants were immediately exercisable and expire on February 28, 2020. The parties agreed as a condition to the renewal of the facility in February 2015 that all previously issued warrants to the lender totaling 890,625 shares would be extended to a five-year term and the exercise price reduced to $0.50 per share.

II-4

The Company used the loan proceeds for working capital and paid no compensation to any party in connection with the establishment credit facility and warrants. It relied on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for issuance of the credit facility and warrants.

On May 7, 2015 the Company completed the private placement of $12.0 million principal amount Senior Secured Note and a Warrant exercisable to purchase 18,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an institutional selling stockholder.

At the closing on May 7, 2015, the selling stockholder acquired the Convertible Note by paying $450,000 in cash and issuing the Company the Investor Note, secured by cash, with a principal amount of $9,550,000. Assuming all amounts payable to the Company under the Investor Note are paid, the private placement will result in gross proceeds of $10.0 million before placement agent fees and other expenses associated with the transaction, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company used the initial proceeds from the closing to retire certain outstanding obligations, including the 2015 area and training fees of approximately $155,000 owed to the Nicaraguan government relating to its Nicaragua Concessions, and to provide additional working capital.

The Company will receive the remaining cash proceeds upon each voluntary or mandatory prepayment of the Investor Note. The selling stockholder may, at its option and at any time, voluntarily prepay the Investor Note, in whole or in part.

The selling stockholder must prepay the Investor Note, in whole or in part, upon the occurrence of one or more mandatory prepayment events. These include (i) the selling stockholder’s conversion of the Convertible Note into shares of common stock upon which the selling stockholder will be required to prepay the Investor Note, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for each subsequent conversion of the Convertible Note and (ii) the Company’s delivering a mandatory prepayment notice to the selling stockholder after it has received governmental authorizations from the Nicaraguan authorities necessary to commence drilling on at least five sites within the Nicaraguan Concessions, among other conditions.

The Convertible Note matures on the three-year anniversary of its issuance, bears interest at 8% per annum, and is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share (the “Conversion Price”). As a part of the May 2015 Private Placement, the Company issued a Warrant to one of the selling stockholders giving it the right to purchase up to an aggregate of 18,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share. The Warrant is exercisable commencing six months from the date of issuance for a period of seven years from the date of issuance. The Warrant issued to the Placement Agent is convertible upon issuance.

If the Company issues or sells shares of its common stock, rights to purchase shares of its common stock, or securities convertible into shares of its common stock for a price per share that is less than the Conversion Price or Warrant exercise price then in effect, the then current Conversion Price and Warrant exercise prices will be decreased to equal such lower price.

The selling stockholders have no right to convert the Convertible Note or exercise the Warrants to the extent that such conversion or exercise would result in the selling stockholder being the beneficial owner of in excess of 9.99% of the Company’s common stock. The Convertible Note ranks senior to the Company’s existing and future indebtedness and is secured by all of the assets of the Company, excluding the Nicaraguan Concessions.

The Company used a portion of the funds from this credit facility to resolve the contingency related to the delinquent payment of 2015 training and area fees and the expired letters of credit for its Nicaraguan concessions (See Note 8). The Company continues to negotiate the renewal of the letters of credit with the Nicaraguan Government and its lenders; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in that regard.

The Company relied on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for issuance of the Convertible Note and Warrants. WestPark Capital acted as Placement Agent for the Company in the transaction and received a fee of 6% of cash proceeds, or $600,000, if and when the Company receives the full cash proceeds. It received $27,000 of such amount at the closing. The Company also issued WestPark a Warrant exercisable to purchase 2,400,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share. The Warrant is exercisable commencing six months from the date of issuance for a period of seven years from the date of issuance.

II-5

On December 27, 2013 the Company borrowed $1,050,000 under an unsecured credit facility with a private, third-party lender. The facility is represented by a promissory note (the “Note”). Effective April 7, 2015 the Company and the lender agreed to extend the maturity date of the Note from April 7, 2015 to the earlier of (i) April 7, 2016 or (ii) the payment in full of the Investor Note issued to the Company by Hudson Bay Master Fund, Ltd. in the principal amount of $9,550,000 (the “New Maturity Date”). All other terms of the Note remain the same. The extension to the New Maturity Date closed on May 8, 2015.

The Note may be prepaid without penalty at any time. The Note is subordinated to all existing and future senior indebtedness, as such terms are defined in the Note.

In connection with the loan, the Company granted the lender a warrant exercisable to purchase 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. In connection with the extension of the maturity date of the Note to the New Maturity Date, the Company (i) issued the lender 200,000 shares of restricted common stock; (ii) decreased the exercise price of the warrant to $0.50 per share and extended the term of the warrant to a period commencing on the New Maturity Date and expiring on the third anniversary of such date; and (iii) paid $50,000 toward amounts due under the Note. The Company issued no additional warrants to the lender in connection with the extension of the Note to the New Maturity Date. If the Company fails to pay the Note on or before its New Maturity Date, the number of shares issuable under the warrant increases to 13,333,333 and the exercise price drops to $0.075 per share. All other terms of the warrant remain the same.
