DEFINITIONS

The following defined terms are used in this report.

References to Puissant Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation, are referred to herein as “we”, “our” or “us”, unless the context provides for otherwise.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
 
Unless otherwise indicated in this report, natural gas volumes are stated at the legal pressure base of the state or geographic area in which the reserves are located at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Crude oil and natural gas equivalents are determined using the ratio of six Mcf of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil, condensate or natural gas liquids. The following definitions shall apply to the technical terms used in this report.
 
Terms used to describe quantities of crude oil and natural gas:
 
“Bbl” – barrel or barrels.
 
“BOE” – barrels of crude oil equivalent.
 
“Mcf” – thousand cubic feet of gas.
 
“MMbtu” – million British thermal units.
 
“MMcf” – million cubic feet of gas.
 
“MMcfpd” – million cubic feet of gas per day.
 
“NGL” – natural gas liquids.
 
Terms used to describe our interests in wells and acreage:
 
Natural gas is converted into barrels of oil equivalent based on six Mcf of gas to one barrel of crude oil or other liquid hydrocarbons.
 
Development well is a well drilled within the proved area of an oil or natural gas field to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.
 
 
3

 
 
Exploratory well is a well drilled to find and produce oil or natural gas reserves in an unproved area, to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas in another reservoir, or to extend a known reservoir.
 
Field is an area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature or stratigraphic condition.
 
PV-10, a non-GAAP measure, is the pre-tax present value, discounted at 10% per year, of estimated future net cash flows from the production of proved reserves, computed by applying sales prices in effect as of the dates of such estimates and held constant throughout the productive life of the reserves (except for consideration of price changes to the extent provided by contractual arrangements), after deducting the estimated future costs to be incurred in developing, producing and abandoning the proved reserves (computed based on current costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.) We believe PV-10 to be an important measure for evaluating the relative significance of our natural gas and oil properties. PV-10 is computed on the same basis as the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows but without deducting income taxes. We further believe investors and creditors may utilize our PV-10 as a basis for comparison of the relative size and value of our reserves to other companies. However, PV-10 is not a substitute for the standardized measure.

Productive well is a well that is producing or is capable of production, including natural gas wells awaiting pipeline connections to commence deliveries and oil wells awaiting connection to production facilities.
 
Proved reserves are the estimated quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible – from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations. Reservoirs are considered proved if shown to be economically producible by either actual production or conclusive formation tests. See Regulation S-X, Rule 4-10(a)(22)-(26), (Reg. § 210.4-10) available on the Internet at www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/ecfrlinks.shtml.
 
Proved developed reserves are the portion of proved reserves that has an expectation of recovery through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well.
 
Proved undeveloped reserves are the portion of proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.
 
Working interest is the operating interest that gives the owner the right to drill, produce and conduct operating activities on the property and a share of production.
 
Workover is operations on a producing well to restore or increase production.

PART I

Item 1. Business

GENERAL

Corporate Overview.
 
On July 6, 2009, we incorporated in Wyoming as American Resource Management, Inc. On March 17, 2011, we changed our domicile to the State of Florida and simultaneously changed our name to Puissant Industries, Inc. Our principal offices are located at 520 Whitley Street, P.O. Box 1263, London, Kentucky 40741. Our telephone number is 606-864-3161. Our website is located at psss.co. No information from our website is incorporated in this Form 10-K.
 
Business Description.
 
We are engaged in oil and gas exploration and development activities in fractured shale formations located in Eastern Kentucky.
 
To date, our operations have consisted of the following:
 
  i.  our acquisition of a 100% working interest and approximately 85% net revenue interest in 39 shut-in wells, with and estimated 28 miles of natural gas pipeline;
     
  ii.
commenced recompletion of old wells and connecting wells to our existing pipeline;
     
  iii.
located Seminole Energy Services to purchase our natural gas obtained recompleting 26 existing wells;
     
  iv. our acquisition of the surface mineral and property rights to 100 acres and subsurface rights to 175 acres in Clay County Kentucky.
 
On or about January 15, 2005, Sovereign One, Inc., a company controlled by Mark Holbrook, our Chief Executive Officer; McCrome International, Inc., a company controlled by our director, Cora J Holbrook and Logos Resources, Inc., a company controlled by Marshall Holbrook, our Director entered into an agreement with A.D.I.D. Corporation, a Kentucky corporation controlled by Marshall Holbrook ("A.D.I.D.") whereby A.D.I.D. agreed to acquire oil and gas leases and properties and assign such oil and gas leases and properties entities as specified by Sovereign One Inc., McCrome International, Inc., and Logos Resources, Inc. Mark Holbrook and Cora Holbrook are married to one another and Marshall Holbrook is their son.
 
In exchange for our issuance of an aggregate of 5,250,000 shares of our common stock representing 1,750,000 common shares to each Sovereign One Inc., McCrome International, Inc. and Logos Resources, Inc., A.D.I.D. assigned the following interests to us:
 
(i) on August 9, 2010, 100% ownership in: (a) 34,000 of 2-inch natural gas pipeline and 60,000 feet of 4-inch natural gas pipeline, compressor stations, right of ways and easements located in Clay and Laurel Counties, Kentucky; and (b) 59,000 feet of 2-inch natural gas pipeline and 10,000 feet of 4-inch natural gas pipeline, compressor stations, right of ways and easements located in Whitley County, Kentucky; and
 
(ii) on February 15, 2010, a 100% working interest and an 85% net revenue interest of 39 oil and gas wells and leases in Kentucky wells (the “Wells”).
 
 
5

 
 
This working interest gives us the ability to explore for and to produce and own oil, gas or other minerals from the Wells. As the working interest owner, we bear the exploration, development, and operating costs from the property. The net revenue interest provides us with approximately 85% of the proceeds from any oil and gas production on the Wells after payment of all operating and development costs.
 
We own 100% of ARM Operating Company (“ARM”), a Kentucky corporation, which manages all of our oil and gas properties and oversees the operation, development, and maintenance of all our oil and gas wells, leases, and reserve activities. ARM will be registered as the operator of wells with all relevant governmental agencies, and it will be responsible for maintaining production and maintenance reports for all of our wells and facilities. Our officers and Board of Directors make all decisions concerning ARM.
 
We file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Forms 10-Q and 10-K. These forms, are available free of charge at sec.gov. Materials filed with the SEC may also be read at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. 
 
Business Strategy
 
Our business strategy is to create value for our shareholders by growing reserves, production and cash flow on a cost-efficient basis. Key elements of our strategy include:
 
Developing and exploiting our existing properties. Development of our existing position in the Appalachian Basin Devonian Shale is our primary objective. We plan to continue to concentrate our capital expenditures in the Devonian Shale, where we believe our current acreage position provides an attractive return on the capital employed on a multi-year drilling program.
Maintain Long-Life Reserve Base. We focus our acreage acquisition and development activities on resources that target long-life gas and oil reserves. Long-life gas and oil reserves provide a more stable growth platform than short-life reserves. Long-life reserves reduce reinvestment risk as they lessen the amount of reinvestment capital deployed each year to replace production. Long-life crude oil and natural gas reserves will also assist us in minimizing costs as stable production makes it easier to build and maintain operating economies of scale.
Disciplined Financial Approach. Our goal is to remain financially strong, yet flexible, through the prudent management of our balance sheet and active management of commodity price volatility. We will manage the development and operation of the properties and locate third parties to drill a prospect on an as needed basis.
 
Industry and Economic Factors.
 
We will face many factors inherent in the oil and gas industry, including widely fluctuating oil and gas prices, cyclical and volatile markets and difficulties in predicting future price movements difficult. While revenues will be a function of both production and prices, wide swings in prices will have the greatest impact on our results of operations.
 
Operations in the oil and gas industry entail significant complexities. Our oil and gas properties have past histories of production even though production ceased prior to our obtaining any interest in the non-productive properties. The production records can serve as the basis for evaluation of potential future production using new technologies; however, such evaluation is difficult if not impossible to determine conclusively the amount of oil and gas, the cost of development, or the rate at which oil and gas may be produced.
 
Market for Oil and Gas Production.
 
Both the state and federal governments regulate the market for oil and gas production. The overall market is mature and, with the exception of gas, all producers in a producing region will receive the same price. If we locate oil reserves it will be pumped from wells and stored in tanks at the well site where for the purchaser normally to pick up.
 
Natural gas will be gathered through connections between our gas wells and our pipeline transmission system. Gas purchasers would pay us 100 percent of the sale proceeds of our oil and gas each month for the previous month’s sales. We will be responsible for all distributions. There is no standard price for gas and oil and gas and oil prices will fluctuate with the seasons and the general market conditions.

Competition.
 
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. Our competitors and potential competitors include major oil companies and independent producers of varying sizes, all of which are engaged in the acquisition of producing properties and the exploration and development of prospects and most of which have greater financial resources and revenues.
 
Governmental Regulation.
 
General
 
The production and sale of oil and gas is subject to regulation by state, federal, and local authorities. In most areas, there are statutory provisions regulating the production of oil and natural gas under administrative agencies may set allowable rates of production and enact rules in connection with the operation and production of such wells, ascertain and determine the reasonable market demand of oil and gas, and adjust allowable rates.
 
Our operations are subject to extensive and continually changing regulations because legislation affecting the oil and natural gas industry is under constant review for amendment and expansion. Many departments and agencies, both federal and state, are authorized by statute to issue and have issued rules and regulations binding on the oil and natural gas industry and its individual participants. The failure to comply with such rules and regulations can result in large penalties and may negatively affect our operations. The regulatory burden on this industry increases our cost of doing business and, therefore, affects our potential profitability.
 
All of our well interests and non-producing properties are located onshore in the United States. Oil and natural gas production is subject to various taxes, such as gross production taxes and, in some cases, ad valorem taxes.
 
The State of Kentucky and other states require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations and impose other regulations relating to the exploration for and production of oil and natural gas. These states also have regulations addressing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties and the regulation of spacing, plugging and abandonment of wells. These regulations vary from state to state. As previously discussed, we rely on our well operators to comply with governmental regulations.
 
Various aspects of our oil and natural gas operations are regulated by agencies of the federal government. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) pursuant to the Natural Gas Act of 1938 and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (“NGPA”) generally regulates the transportation of natural gas in interstate commerce. The intrastate transportation and gathering of natural gas (and operational and safety matters related thereto) may be subject to regulation by state and local governments.
 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's ("FERC") jurisdiction over interstate natural gas sales was substantially modified by the NGPA under which FERC continued to regulate the maximum selling prices of certain categories of natural gas sold in “first sales” in interstate and intrastate commerce. Effective January 1, 1993, however, the Natural Gas Wellhead Decontrol Act (the “Decontrol Act”) deregulated natural gas prices for all “first sales” of natural gas. Because “first sales” include typical wellhead sales by producers, all natural gas produced from our natural gas properties is sold at market prices, subject to the terms of any private contracts in effect. The Decontrol Act did not affect FERC’s jurisdiction over natural gas transportation.
 
Sales of natural gas are affected by intrastate and interstate natural gas transportation regulation. Beginning in 1985, FERC adopted regulatory changes that have significantly altered the transportation and marketing of natural gas. These changes were intended by FERC to foster competition by transforming the role of interstate pipeline companies from wholesale marketers of natural gas to the primary role of natural gas transporters. As a result of the various omnibus rulemaking proceedings in the late 1980s and the individual pipeline restructuring proceedings of the early to mid-1990s, interstate pipelines must provide open and nondiscriminatory transportation and transportation-related services to all producers, natural gas marketing companies, local distribution companies, industrial end users and other customers seeking service. Through similar orders affecting intrastate pipelines that provide similar interstate services, FERC expanded the impact of open access regulations to intrastate commerce.
 
 
7

 
 
More recently, FERC has pursued other policy initiatives that have affected natural gas marketing. Most notable are: (1) permitting the large-scale divestiture of interstate pipeline-owned natural gas gathering facilities to affiliated or non-affiliated companies; (2) further development of rules governing the relationship of the pipelines with their marketing affiliates; (3) the publication of standards relating to the use of electronic bulletin boards and electronic data exchange by the pipelines to make transportation information available on a timely basis and to enable transactions to occur on a purely electronic basis; (4) further review of the role of the secondary market for released pipeline capacity and its relationship to open access service in the primary market; and (5) development of policy and promulgation of orders pertaining to its authorization of market-based rates (rather than traditional cost-of-service based rates) for transportation or transportation-related services upon the pipeline’s demonstration of lack of market control in the relevant service market.
 
As a result of these changes, sellers and buyers of natural gas have gained direct access to the particular pipeline services they need and are able to conduct business with a larger number of counter parties. These changes generally have improved the access to markets for natural gas while substantially increasing competition in the natural gas marketplace. The effect of future regulations by FERC and other regulatory agencies cannot be predicted.
 
Sales of oil are not regulated and are made at market prices. The price received from the sale of oil is affected by the cost of transporting it to market. Much of that transportation is through interstate common carrier pipelines. Effective January 1, 1995, FERC implemented regulations generally grandfathering all previously approved interstate transportation rates and establishing an indexing system for those rates by which adjustments are made annually based on the rate of inflation, subject to certain conditions and limitations. Over time, these regulations tend to increase the cost of transporting oil by interstate pipelines, although some annual adjustments may result in decreased rates for a given year. These regulations have generally been upheld on judicial review. Every five years, FERC will examine the relationship between the annual change in the applicable index and the actual cost changes experienced by the oil pipeline industry.

 Transportation
 
There are no material permits or licenses required beyond those currently held by us or incident to our operations. We can make sales of oil, natural gas and condensate at market prices, which are not subject to price controls at this time. The price that we receive from the sale of any oil and gas we locate will be affected by our ability to transport and the cost of transporting these products to market. Under applicable laws, FERC regulates the construction of natural gas pipeline facilities, and the rates for transportation of these products in interstate commerce. Effective as of January 1, 1995, FERC implemented regulations establishing an indexing system for transportation rates for oil. These regulations could increase the cost of transporting oil to the purchaser.

Regulation of Drilling and Production
 
Our proposed drilling and production operations are subject to regulation under a wide range of state and federal statutes, rules, orders and regulations. Among other matters, these statutes and regulations govern the:
 
amounts and types of substances and materials that may be released into the environment;
discharge and disposition of waste materials;
reclamation and abandonment of wells and facility sites; and
remediation of contaminated sites.
 
In order to comply with these statutes and regulations, we are required to obtain permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds, and reports concerning operations. Kentucky laws contain provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and natural gas wells, and the regulation of the spacing, plugging, and abandonment of wells.

Environmental Regulations
 
Because we are directly involved in the extraction and use of natural resources, we are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding environmental and ecological matters. Compliance with these laws and regulations may necessitate significant capital outlays; however, to date, our cost of compliance has been immaterial. We do not believe the existence of these environmental laws, as currently written and interpreted, will materially hinder or adversely affect our business operations; however, there can be no assurances of future events or changes in laws, or the interpretation of laws, governing our industry.
 
The various state, local and federal environmental laws and regulations, including the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, Federal Water Pollution Control Act, and Toxic Substances Control Act, affect our operations. The Comprehensive Environmental, Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and comparable state statutes impose strict, joint and several liabilities on owners and operators of sites and on persons who disposed of or arranged for the disposal of “hazardous substances” found at such sites. It is not uncommon for the neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. The Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and comparable state statutes govern the disposal of “solid waste” and “hazardous waste” and authorize the imposition of substantial fines and penalties for noncompliance. Although CERCLA currently excludes petroleum from its definition of “hazardous substance,” state laws affecting our operations may impose cleanup liability relating to petroleum and petroleum related products. In addition, although RCRA classifies certain oil field wastes as “non-hazardous,” such exploration and production wastes could be reclassified as hazardous wastes thereby making such wastes subject to more stringent handling and disposal requirements.
 
Generally, environmental laws and regulations govern the discharge of materials into the environment or the disposal of waste materials, or otherwise relate to the protection of the environment. The following activities are subject to stringent environmental regulations:
 
drilling;
development and production operations;
activities in connection with storage and transportation of oil and oil and gas; and
use of facilities for treating, processing or otherwise handling oil and gas and wastes.

Violations are subject to reporting requirements, civil penalties and criminal sanctions. As with the industry generally, compliance with existing regulations increases our overall business costs, which are difficult to determine. Such areas affected include:
 
unit production expenses primarily related to the control and limitation of air emissions and the disposal of produced water;
capital costs to drill exploration and development wells resulting from expenses primarily related to the management and disposal of drilling fluids and other oil and natural gas exploration wastes; and
capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities and remediate, plug, and abandon inactive well sites and pits.
 
Environmental regulations historically have been subject to frequent change by regulatory authorities. Therefore, we are unable to predict the ongoing cost of compliance with these laws and regulations or the future impact of such regulations on operations. However, we do not believe that changes to these regulations will have a significant negative impact on the development of our oil and gas properties.
 
Any discharge of oil and gas into the environment could subject us to substantial expense, including both the cost to comply with applicable regulations pertaining to the cleanup of releases of hazardous substances into the environment and claims by neighboring landowners and other third parties for personal injury and property damage. We do not maintain insurance for protection against environmental liabilities.
 
Research and Development
 
Since our inception, we have spent no funds on research on development.
 
 
9

 
 
Employees
 
We currently have three full-time employees who are our officers and directors and who are a family relationship to one another, as follows: (a) Mark Holbrook, our Chief Executive Officer/Director; (B) Cora Holbrook, our Chief Financial Officer/Director; and (c) Marshall Holbrook, our Vice President/Director. We intend to retain the services of consultants on a contract basis to assist on our mineral claims and to assist with preparation of financial statements and reserve reports.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any pending or potential legal actions.
 
Proprietary Rights
 
We do not have any proprietary rights.
 
Competitive Business Conditions
 
The oil and natural gas industry is highly competitive, particularly in the search for new oil and natural gas reserves. Many factors affect our competitive position and the market for its products that are beyond its control. Some of these factors include the quantity and price of foreign oil imports, changes in prices received for its oil and natural gas production, business and consumer demand for refined oil products and natural gas, and the effects of federal and state regulation of the exploration for, production of and sales of oil and natural gas. Changes in existing economic conditions, political developments, weather patterns and actions taken by OPEC and other oil-producing countries have a dramatic influence on the price we receive for our oil and gas production.
 
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
 
The existence of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves in commercial quantities is essential to the ultimate realization of value from our mineral and leasehold acreage. These mineral and leasehold properties are the raw materials to our business. The production and sale of oil and natural gas from the our properties is essential to provide the cash flow necessary to sustain our ongoing viability. We reinvest a portion of our cash flow to purchase oil and natural gas mineral and leasehold acreage to assure the continued availability of acreage with which to participate in exploration, drilling and development operations and, subsequently, the production and sale of oil and natural gas. This participation in exploration and production activities and purchase of additional acreage is necessary to continue to supply us with the raw materials with which to generate additional cash flow. Mineral and leasehold acreage purchases are made from many owners. We do not rely on any particular companies or persons for the purchases of additional mineral and leasehold acreage.
 
 
10

 
 
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises and Royalty Agreements.
 
We do not own any patents, trademarks, licenses or franchises. Royalty agreements on producing oil and natural gas wells stemming from our ownership of mineral acreage generate a portion of our revenues. These royalties are tied to ownership of mineral acreage and this ownership is perpetual, unless sold by us. Royalties are due and payable to us whenever oil and/or natural gas is produced and sold from wells located on our mineral acreage.
 
Material Agreements.
 
June 1, 2011 Agreement with A.D.I.D.
 
Effective June 1, 2011, we entered into a Well Services Agreement with A.D.I.D. Corporation, a Kentucky corporation controlled by our Vice President and Director, Marshall Holbrook (“A.D.I.D.”). Under the agreement terms, A.D.I.D. agrees to act as the operator of our oil and gas wells, pipelines, compressor station and leases. The agreement expires upon the earlier of: (i) the expiration of the productive life of our wells, pipelines and leases: (ii) six months after the resignation of A.D.I.D. who may resign at any time; (iii) A.D.I.D. being removed for gross negligence, willful misconduct, a material breach or inability to perform its obligations under the agreement.
 
Agreement with Margaret Reep
 
On August 1, 2011, we entered into an agreement with Margaret Reep, whereby we acquired the below ground mineral and property rights to 175 acres in Clay County Kentucky in exchange for $25,000. The agreement provided for a $1,000 down payment, with the $24,000 balance to be paid in twelve monthly payments of approximately $2,077, which includes interest at 7% per annum, which we paid in full. We made our last payment to Margaret Reep in October 1, 2012 and in full payment for the mineral and property rights, Margaret Reep executed a Release of Promissory Note Mortgage on the same date relieving us from any further indebtedness pertaining to this agreement.

Agreement with Debra Adams
 
On October 13, 2011, we entered into an agreement with Debra Adams, whereby we acquired the surface mineral and property rights including timber, coal and all other minerals to 100 acres in Clay County, Kentucky for $50,000. The Agreement provided for a $500 down payment, with the balance of $49,500 to be paid in 120 payments of approximately $575, which includes interest at 7% per annum.

Agreement with Seminole Energy Services, LLC
 
On September 20, 2011, we entered into a contract for the purchase and sale of natural gas with Seminole Energy Services, L.L.C. (“Seminole”).

The foregoing estimated proved reserve data was prepared using unweighted average first-day-of-the-month prices for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pricing guidelines were used to set the oil and gas prices. An oil price of $96.94 per barrel (Bbl), a natural gas liquids price of $36.68 per barrel (Bbl) and gas price of $3.671 per million British Thermal Unit (MMbtu) were used in this study. The prices were adjusted for energy content, price differentials, and other expenses as needed.
 
Our proved natural gas reserves were 15.949 billion cubic feet (Bcf), or 2.6583 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) (1Bbl = 6 Mcf basis). The proved oil reserves were .197 million barrels. The proved natural gas liquids (NGL) reserves were .327 million barrels, for a total of 3.182 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE). The Net Present Value, discounted at 10%, of the estimated future net cash flow before income taxes (PV-10) of our total proved reserves at December 31, 2013 was $29.227 million.

There are many uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities and values of proved reserves and projecting future rates of production and timing of development. The reserve data set forth herein, although prepared by an independent petroleum engineer in a manner customary in the industry, are estimates only, and the actual quantities and values of oil and gas are likely to differ from the estimated amounts set forth herein. In addition, the reserve estimates for our properties will be affected by future changes in sales prices of oil and gas produced. Other than those filed with the SEC, our estimated reserves have not been filed with or included in any reports to any federal agency.
 
Description of Securities
 
The following description is a summary of the material terms of the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, exhibits of which were included in our S-1 registration statement, which was declared effective on October 28, 2011.

Common Stock.
 
We are authorized to issue 90,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of March 26, 2014, there were 10,334,205 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding held by 53 holders of record.
 
Preferred Stock.
 
We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, no shares of which are issued and outstanding. The rights terms and preferences of our preferred stock have not been established and can be designated at any time by the majority vote of our Board of Directors without a vote of our shareholders.

Warrants.
 
From September 25, 2010 through March 29, 2011, we offered and sold $64,000 of convertible promissory notes with attached warrants to 25 persons. Each note was converted into common shares at the price $.50 per. Under the terms of the convertible note agreement six months after a qualifying transaction we became obligated to grant each note holder 1500 warrants for every $500 invested. Under the terms of paragraph 3 of the note, we became required to issue the warrants upon the closing of a Qualifying Transaction, which is defined as a purchase of, formation of, merger with, and/or acquisition of a corporate entity with equity securities. A qualifying transaction occurred upon our filing articles of incorporation with the state of Florida on March 17, 2011 when we changed our domicile from Wyoming to Florida because we caused the formation of a corporate entity with equity securities. As such on September 17, 2011, we granted each note holder 1500 warrants for every $500 invested for an aggregate of 192,000 warrants. The warrant holder may exercise each one (1) warrant into one (1) common share at the price of $1.00 per share from March 17, 2012 until the close of business on the date which is two years after the date of the holder’s convertible note.

On or about August 15, 2012, we terminated the issuance of the warrants and provided an equal number of restricted shares to each of the 25 holders. As such, we have no warrants outstanding. 

Florida Anti-Takeover Laws.
 
As a Florida corporation, we are subject to certain anti-takeover provisions that apply to public corporations under Florida law. Section 607.0901 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, or the Florida Act, provides that a publicly held Florida corporation may not engage in a broad range of business combinations or other extraordinary corporate transactions with an interested shareholder without the approval of the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares of the corporation (excluding shares held by the interested shareholder), unless:

(i)
The transaction is approved by a majority of disinterested directors before the shareholder becomes an interested shareholder;
(ii)
the interested shareholder has owned at least 80% of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares for at least five years preceding the announcement date of any such business combination;
(iii)
the interested shareholder is the beneficial owner of at least 90% of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, exclusive of shares acquired directly from the corporation in a transaction not approved by a majority of the disinterested directors; or
(iv)
The consideration paid to the holders of the corporation’s voting stock is at least equal to certain fair price criteria.
 
 
16

 
 
An interested shareholder is defined as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns more than 10% of a corporation’s outstanding voting shares. We have not made an election in our amended Articles of Incorporation to opt out of Section 607.0901.

Additionally, we are subject to Section 607.0902 of the Florida Act which prohibits the voting of shares in a publicly held Florida corporation that are acquired in a control share acquisition unless (i) our board of directors approved such acquisition prior to its consummation or (ii) after such acquisition, in lieu of prior approval by our board of directors, the holders of a majority of the corporation’s voting shares, exclusive of shares owned by officers of the corporation, employee directors or the acquiring party, approve the granting of voting rights as to the shares acquired in the control share acquisition. A control share acquisition is defined as an acquisition that immediately thereafter entitles the acquiring party to 20% or more of the total voting power in an election of directors.
 
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
 
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.
 
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosure

Inapplicable. We do not operate any mines and are not subject to Section 1503 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
 
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market Information
 
Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Markets inter-dealer quotation system under the symbol, PSSS. There is no established public trading market for our securities and a regular trading market may not develop, or if developed, may not be sustained. A shareholder in all likelihood, therefore, will be unable to resell his or her securities should he or she desire to do so when eligible for public resales. Furthermore, it is unlikely that a lending institution will accept our securities as pledged collateral for loans unless a regular trading market develops.

The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid quotations for our common stock for each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTCBB. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. Our common stock became quoted on the OTCBB on our about May 15, 2012.

Penny Stock Considerations
 
Our shares will be "penny stocks", as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Thus, our shares will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.

Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt.

In addition, under the penny stock regulations, the broker-dealer is required to:
 
Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;
Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;
Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer's account, the account's value, and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and
Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer's account.
 
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our Common Stock, which may affect the ability of our shareholders to sell their shares in the secondary market, and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares in all probability will be subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.
 
Sales of our common stock under Rule 144
 
As of March 26, 2014, 1,005,000 shares of our common shares are currently eligible for resale under Rule 144. In general, persons holding restricted securities, including affiliates, must hold their shares for a period of at least six months and persons who are affiliates must file a Form 144 with the SEC prior to sale, may not sell more than one percent of the total issued and outstanding shares in any 90-day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. If substantial amounts of our common stock become available for resale under Rule 144, prevailing market prices of our common stock will be reduced.

Dividends
 
We have not declared any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain any future earnings for use in our business. Any decisions as to future payments of dividends will depend on our earnings and financial position and such other facts, as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

On December 7, 2011, we registered 200,000 shares of our common stock on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933. As of April 13, 2013, we issued 190,000 shares registered to professionals and consultants in exchange for professional services to be rendered in 2012.

On or about August 15, 2012, we terminated the issuance of the warrants and provided an equal number of restricted shares to each of the 25 holders. As such, we have no warrants outstanding. 

On August 15, 2012, our Board of Directors unanimously issued a resolution to eliminate warrant agreements with 25 persons and entities, and in lieu of the issuance of warrants, issue an equal number of restricted shares of our common stock to each of the following prior warrant holders: (a) 15,000 shares to Robert and Roxaline Weaver; (b) 30,000 shares to Robert and Jeanette Nail; (c) 15,000 shares to Emily S. Holbrook; (d) 10,500 shares to Sovereign One, Inc.; (e) 10,500 shares to McCrome International, Inc.; (e) 10,500 shares to Logos Resources; (f) 15,000 shares to Velimir Jurisic; (g) 15,000 shares to Dale Bradshaw and Pamela Shepp; (h) 15,000 shares to Robert and Karen Ketchum; (i) 15,000 shares to Robert and Christa Ketchum; (j) 15,000 shares to Thaddeus and Patty Vance; (k) 15,000 shares to Richard and Kathryn Heard; (l) 600 shares to Isabelle Holbrook; (m) 1200 shares to Roxaline Bewley; (n) 600 shares to Brianna Hinds; (o) 600 shares to Emma Holbrook Irrevocable Trust; (p) 600 shares to Victoria Bewley; (q) 600 shares to Grayson Simonetti; (r) 600 shares to Garrett Blair White Irrevocable Trust; (s) 1600 shares to E, Bennett and I. Elizabeth Robinson; (t) 750 shares to Bonnie Valentine; (u) 1200 shares to Anthony Akers; (v) 750 shares to Anthony Akers; (w) 750 shares to Gina Sears; and (x) 750 shares to Tistan James Hall.
 
On December 15, 2012, we issued 136,800 restricted common stock shares to each of the following as consideration for various equipment: (a) Sovereign One, Inc., an entity under the control of our President/Director, Mark Holbrook; (b) Logos Resources, Inc., an entity under the control of our Vice President/Director, Marshall Holbrook; and (c) McCrome International, Inc., an entity under the control of our Chief Financial Officer/Director, Cora J. Holbrook.
 
We relied upon Sections 4(2) and 4(6) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder, as amended (“the Act”) in connection with the offer and sale of the notes and the common shares issued in conversion of the notes. We believe these exemptions were available because:
 
our officers and director had a pre-existing relationship with each person;
the certificates were marked with a restrictive legend setting forth the restrictions on transferability; and
each investor or their representative was an accredited investor.
 
Sale of Unregistered Securities

On May 10, 2012, we issued 100,000 restricted common stock shares to a professional service organization in exchange for professional services. We valued these shares at $2.00 per share.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data
 
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Introduction

As of December 31, 2013 we recompleted 28 wells. We have increased the NPV@10 from $18.084 to $29.227 million from FY 2012 to FY 2013, representing a 61.6% increase.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 

To The Board of Directors and shareholders of
Puissant Industries, Inc.
London, Kentucky

I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Puissant Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on my audits.
 
I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. my audits 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, I express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
 
In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 3—Summary of significant accounting principles

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP’) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates particularly significant to the financial statements include the following:
 
.
Estimates of our reserves of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids ("NGL");
.
Future cash flows from oil and gas properties;
.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense;
.
Asset retirement obligations;
.
Fair values of derivative instruments;
.
Fair values of assets acquired and liabilites assumed from business combinations; and
.
Natural gas imbalances.
 
As fair value is a market-based measurement, it is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Such estimates and assumptions are adjusted when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any changes in estimates resulting from continuous changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

There are numerous uncertainties in estimating the quantity of reserves and in projecting the future rates of production and timing of development expenditures, including future costs to dismantle, dispose and restore our properties. Oil and gas reserve engineering must be recognized as a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact way.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers short-term interest bearing investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks, free credit on investment accounts and money market accounts.

Foreign currency translation

The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Monetary items are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date; non-monetary items are translated at historical exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Note 3—Summary of significant accounting principles (continued)

Property and equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred while betterments and improvements are capitalized. When items are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations.
 
The Company provides for depreciation and amortization over the following estimated useful lives:
 
Building
39 years
Land improvements
10 years
Machinery and equipment
5-7 years
Computer equipment
3 years
Office equipment
7 years
Trucks and trailers
5 years
 
Oil and Gas Properties

Oil and gas investments are accounted for by the successful efforts method of accounting. Accordingly, the costs incurred to acquire property (proved and unproved), all development costs, and successful exploratory costs are capitalized, whereas the costs of unsuccessful exploratory wells are expensed.

Depletion

The provision for depletion of proved oil and gas properties is calculated on the units-of-production method, whereby capitalized costs, as adjusted for future development costs and asset retirement obligations, are amortized over the total estimated proved reserves. The Company calculates depletion on a quarterly basis.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting primarily of tubular goods and other well equipment held for use in the development and production of natural gas and crude oil reserves, are carried at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in first-out basis. Adjustments are made from time to time to recognize, as appropriate, any reductions in value.

Unproved Properties

Investments in unproved properties are not depleted pending determination of the existence of proved reserves. Unproved properties are assessed periodically to ascertain whether there is a probability of obtaining proved reserves in the future. When it is determined these properties have been promoted to a proved reserve category or there is no longer any probability of obtaining proved reserves from the properties, the costs associated with these properties is transferred into the amortization base to be included in depletion calculations. 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, and geographic and geological data obtained relating to the properties. Where it is not practicable to assess properties individually as their costs are not individually significant, such properties are grouped for purposes of the periodic assessment.

Long-Lived Assets
 
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360 Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets such as oil and gas properties and equipment used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. There was no impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Impairment of unproved oil and gas properties are determined by FASB ASC Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” approximate their carrying amounts presented in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Market Risk
 
Our activities primarily consist of acquiring, owning, enhancing and producing oil and gas properties. The future results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition may be affected by changes in the market price of oil and natural gas. The availability of a ready market for oil and natural gas products in the future will depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including weather, imports, marketing of competitive fuels, proximity and capacity of oil and natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities, any oversupply or undersupply of oil, natural gas and liquid products, the regulatory environment, the economic environment and, other regional and political events, none of which can be predicted with certainty.

Oil and Gas Reserve Quantities

Reserves and their relation to estimated future net cash flows impact our depletion and impairment calculations. As a result, adjustments to depletion are made concurrently with changes to reserve estimates. We disclose reserve estimates, and the projected cash flows derived from these reserve estimates, in accordance with SEC guidelines. Our independent engineers will also adhere to the SEC definitions when preparing their reserve reports.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations

We have significant obligations to plug and abandon oil and natural gas wells and related equipment at the end of oil and natural gas production operations. We incur these liabilities upon acquiring or drilling a well. GAAP requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) in the period in which it is incurred with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, changes in the present value of the liability are accreted and expensed. The capitalized asset costs are depleted as a component of the full cost pool. The fair values of additions to the ARO liability are estimated using present value techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation include estimates of: (i) plug and abandonment costs per well based on existing regulatory requirements; (ii) remaining life per well; (iii) inflation factors; and (iv) a credit-adjusted risk free rate. Future revisions to ARO estimates will impact the present value of existing ARO liabilities and corresponding adjustments will be made to the capitalized asset retirement costs balance. Upon settlement of the liability, we report a gain or loss to the extent the actual costs differ from the recorded liability.
 
Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. The Company determines its deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, which are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit will more likely than not be realized. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions.

Income Taxes (Continued)

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit will more likely than not be realized. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions.
 
Generally, tax fillings are no longer subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities for years before 2010. Any potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, state, and local tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has not accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
 
Upon the attainment of taxable income by the Company, management will assess the likelihood of realizing the tax benefit associated with the use of the carryforwards and will recognize a deferred tax asset at that time.

Comprehensive Income

The Company complies with FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, which establishes rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components.
 
Loss Per Common Share

The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share incorporates the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents on an average basis during the period.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company complies with FASB ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. FASB ASC Topic 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment.

transactions. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation costs are recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available). If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded compensation expense of $-0- and $-0-, respectively.

Valuation of Investments in Securities at Fair Value—Definition and Hierarchy

FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures provides a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. 
 
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. In accordance with GAAP, a fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations, as follows:
 

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 securities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined.

Note 3—Summary of significant accounting principles (continued)

Valuation of Investments in Securities at Fair Value—Definition and Hierarchy (continued)
 
Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation Techniques
 
The Company values investments in securities that are freely tradable and are listed on a national securities exchange or reported on the NASDAQ national market at their last sales price as of the last business day of the year. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no investments classified as securities owned on the balance sheet.
 
Certificate of Deposits

The fair values of the bank certificate of deposits are based on the face value of the certificate of deposits.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740) which provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an un recognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exits. The update is effective for hears beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company does not expect the implementation of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
 
In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity (ASU 2013-05). ASU 2013-05 provides guidance on releasing cumulative translation adjustments when a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or a business within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
 
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulative Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02), which replaces the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have any impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts, which, at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents.

The Company extends credit, primarily in the form of uncollateralized oil and gas sales to various companies in the oil and gas industry, which results in concentrations of credit risk. Concentrations of credit risk may be affected by changes in economic or other conditions within our industry and may impact our overall credit risk. However, we believe that the risk of these unsecured receivables is mitigated by the size, reputation, and nature of the companies to which we extend credit.

Historically, the Company has sold its oil and natural gas production to a relatively small number of purchasers. We are not dependent upon, or confined to, any one purchaser or small group of purchasers. Due to the nature of oil and natural gas markets and because oil and natural gas are commodities and there are numerous purchasers in the areas in which we sell production, we do not believe the loss of a single purchaser, or more than one purchaser, would materially affect our ability to sell our production.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, revenues from four customers accounted for 100% of oil and gas production revenues.

Oil and Natural Gas Reserves

Proved reserves are the estimated quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations. Reservoirs are considered proved if shown to be economically producible by either actual production or conclusive formation tests.

An oil price of $96.94 and $94.71 per barrel (Bbl) and a natural gas price of $3.671 and $2.752 per million British Thermal Unit (MMbtu) was used in this study for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The prices were adjusted for energy content, price differentials, and other expenses as needed.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants
 
Accounting and Financial Disclosure
 
We have had no changes in or disagreements with our Accountants since our inception. No events occurred that require disclosure under Item 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.
 
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), as of December 31, 2013, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer and who is our principal financial officer, who concluded, that as of December 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. This rule defines internal control over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
-
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

-
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

-
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
 
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Sections 16(a) Compliance of Officers and Directors
 
As of the date of filing this Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, based on our review of Form 3 and 5, all of our officers and directors filed the required reports.

Corporate Governance/No Independent Directors
 
Our Board of Directors has not established Audit, Compensation, and Nominating or Governance Committees as standing committees. The Board does not have an executive committee or any committees performing a similar function. We are not currently listed on a national securities exchange or in an inter-dealer quotation system that has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be independent. The Board has determined that no members of the Board are “independent” under the definition set forth in the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc., which is the definition that the Board has chosen to use for the purposes of the determining independence, as the OTC Bulletin Board does not provide such a definition. Therefore, none of our current Board members are independent.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
 
The following tables set forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, our directors, and our executive officers and directors as a group. To the best of our knowledge, the persons named have sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares, except as otherwise noted. There are not any pending or anticipated arrangements that may cause a change in control.
 
The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be “ "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown. The business address for these shareholders is 520 Whitley Street, London Kentucky 40743.
