ROCKDALE RESOURCES CORPORATION
(FORMERLY ART DESIGN, INC.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012
 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Art Design, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Colorado on January 16, 2002.  In April 2012 the Company discontinued its prior operations and became involved in the exploration and development of oil and gas. On May 4th 2012, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Rockdale Resources Corporation.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Art Design, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s latest Annual Report filed with SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, 2011, as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements through the filing date and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company.
 
NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through offerings of debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Background

We were incorporated in Colorado in January 2002.

We planned to sell custom framed artwork, art accessories, and interior design consulting. However, we generated only limited revenue since inception and have been inactive since 2008.

As of December 31, 2011 we had 10,820,000 outstanding shares of common stock and our officers and directors and principal shareholders were:

Results of Operations/Liquidity and Capital Resources

  During the three months ended March 31, 2012:

    
Bad debt expense resulted from the write-off of a receivable that we determined was no longer collectible,

    
General and Administrative expenses increased as a result of our transition to an oil and gas company,

    
We purchased accounting software at a cost of $12,442,

    
We borrowed $10,557 from our former management, which amount was repaid in April 2012, and

    
We borrowed $100,000 from a related party, which we expect to repay in May 2012.

Plan of Operation

We plan to evaluate undeveloped oil and gas prospects and participate in drilling activities on those prospects which, in the opinion of management, are favorable for the production of oil or gas.  If, through our review, a geographical area indicates geological and economic potential, we will attempt to acquire leases or other interests in the area.  We may then attempt to sell portions of our leasehold interests in a prospect to third parties, thus sharing the risks and rewards of the exploration and development of the prospect with the other owners.  One or more wells may be drilled on a prospect, and if the results indicate the presence of sufficient oil and gas reserves, additional wells may be drilled on the prospect.

Our strategy is to acquire other similar prospects in or adjacent to existing fields with further development potential and minimum risk in the same area.

We may also:

    
acquire a working interest in one or more prospects from others and participate with the other working interest owners in drilling, and if warranted, completing oil or gas wells on a prospect, or
 
    
purchase producing oil or gas properties.

Our activities will primarily be dependent upon available financing.

Title to properties which we may acquire will be subject to royalty, overriding royalty, carried, net profits, working and other similar interests and contractual arrangements customary in the oil and gas industry, to liens for current taxes not yet due and to other encumbrances.  As is customary in the industry, in the case of undeveloped properties little investigation of record title will be made at the time of acquisition (other than a preliminary review of local records).  However, drilling title opinions may be obtained before commencement of drilling operations.

We initially plan to drill, and if warranted, complete, up to nine oil wells in the Minerva-Rockdale Field.

 
10

 
 
Minerva-Rockdale Field

The Minerva-Rockdale Field, which is located approximately 30 miles Northeast of Austin, was first discovered in 1921 and is approximately 50 square miles in size. The main producing formation for this field is the Upper Cretaceous Navarro Group of sands and shales. The Navarro is typically subdivided into several producing zones from the uppermost “A” and “B” sands to the lower “C” and “D” sands. The “B” sand is the primary producing zone. These sands are commonly fine grained and poorly sorted and were deposited close to a shoreline during a cycle of marine regression.

In April 2012 we entered into an agreement with Kingman Operating Company, Inc. which provides for the following:

    
we will pay Kingman $475,000 for the assignment of a 100% working interest (75% net revenue interest) in an oil and gas lease covering 200 acres in the Minerva-Rockdale field.
 
    
we will pay Kingman $275,000 to drill and, if warranted, complete any well we elect to drill on the lease and will pay Kingman $1,000 a month for operating any wells on the lease.
 
    
we will convey to Kingman a 10% working interest in the lease when we have recovered, from the net proceeds of the sale of any oil or gas produced from any wells drilled or completed on the lease, an amount equal to the cost of drilling, testing, completing, equipping and operating any wells on the lease.
 
    
at any time on or before November 1, 2012 we have the right to acquire a 100% working interest (75% net revenue interest) in a lease covering 300 acres, which lease is immediately adjacent to the 200 acre lease referred to above.  The cost of this lease will be $1,275,000.  If we acquire this lease, we will pay Kingman $275,000 to drill and complete any wells which we choose to drill on the lease, and $1,000 a month for operating any wells on the lease.

The wells will be drilled to sufficient depths to test the shallow Navarro B formation (approximate depth of 1,500 feet).  Each well will take approximately seven days to drill and complete.  Kingman will be the operator for the lease and will be paid $1,000 per month for each well we drill and complete on the lease.

The first well in the Minerva-Rockdale field came on producing 7 bbls/day in 1921. By 1923 there were over 150 wells producing and 8 dry holes. As of June 15, 2011 there were over 1400 wells and the field has produced 7.4 million bbls of oil. The oil is light, paraffin base, and has a API gravity around 38 degrees. Water production in the “B” sands is very low.

Information on leases operated by reliable operators indicate a production decline of 50% in the first two years followed by steady 2-4 bbl/day production that, in some cases, can last for many years.
 
 
11

 
 
If, in our sole discretion, the estimated future production from wells drilled on the leases in the Rockdale Field does not warrant further drilling, we plan to attempt to drill wells in other areas.

Michael Smith, one of our officers and directors, is an officer and director of Kingman Energy, LLC. Kingman Operating Company is controlled by Kingman Energy.

Our anticipated capital requirements for the twelve months ending March 31, 2013 are as follows:
 
Acquisition of oil lease from Kingman Operating Company    $ 475,000  
Drilling and completion of oil wells     2,475,000  
Corporate overhead     525,000  
    $ 3,475,000  
 
Trends Affecting Future Operations

The factors that will most significantly affect our results of operations will be (i) the sale prices of crude oil and natural gas, (ii) the amount of production from oil or gas wells in which we have an interest, and (iii) lease operating expenses.Our revenues will also be significantly impacted by our ability to maintain or increase oil or gas production through exploration and development activities.

It is expected that our principal source of cash flow will be from the production and sale of crude oil and natural gas reserves which are depleting assets.  Cash flow from the sale of oil and gas production depends upon the quantity of production and the price obtained for the production.  An increase in prices will permit us to finance our operations to a greater extent with internally generated funds, may allow us to obtain equity financing more easily or on better terms, and lessens the difficulty of obtaining financing. However, price increases heighten the competition for oil and gas prospects, increase the costs of exploration and development, and, because of potential price declines, increase the risks associated with the purchase of producing properties during times that prices are at higher levels.

A decline in oil and gas prices (i) will reduce the cash flow internally generated by the Company which in turn will reduce the funds available for exploring for and replacing oil and gas reserves, (ii) will increase the difficulty of obtaining equity and debt financing and worsen the terms on which such financing may be obtained, (iii) will reduce the number of oil and gas prospects which have reasonable economic terms, (iv) may cause us to permit leases to expire based upon the value of potential oil and gas reserves in relation to the costs of exploration, (v) may result in marginally productive oil and gas wells being abandoned as non-commercial, and (vi) may increase the difficulty of obtaining financing.  However, price declines reduce the competition for oil and gas properties and correspondingly reduce the prices paid for leases and prospects.

Other than the foregoing, we do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that will have, or are reasonably expected to have, a material impact on our sales, revenues or expenses.

We plan to generate profits by drilling productive oil or gas wells.  However, we will need to raise the funds required to drill new wells through the sale of our securities, from loans from third parties or from third parties willing to pay our share of drilling and completing the wells.  We do not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide us with any additional capital.  If additional financing is not available when needed, we may need to cease operations.  We may not be successful in raising the capital needed to drill oil or gas wells.  Any wells which we may drill may not be productive of oil or gas.

Critical Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
(a)           We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  As of March 31, 2011, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b)           Changes in Internal Controls.  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
 
During April, 2012 we sold 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to a group of private investors at a price of $0.40 per share.

We relied upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the issuance of these shares.  The persons that acquired these shares were sophisticated investors and were provided full information regarding our business and operations.  There was no general solicitation in connection with the offer or sale of these shares.  The persons who acquired these shares acquired them for their own accounts.  The certificates representing these shares bear a restricted legend providing that they cannot be sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration.  No commission or other form of remuneration was given to any person in connection with the issuance of these shares.
