PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

GENERAL
 
As described below Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State in January 2016 whereby it amended its Articles of Incorporation by decreasing all of its issued and outstanding  shares of common stock at a ratio of one (1) share for every one hundred (100) shares held.  The share amounts herein are adjusted to reflect such decrease.

America Resources Exploration Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on January 24, 2014, under the laws of the State of Nevada to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, with the specific intended business activity of operating photo booth rentals. The Company was incorporated under the name “Alazzio Entertainment Corp.” and changed its name to America Resources Exploration Inc. on April 29, 2015.

On April 3, 2015, a change in control of Alazzio Entertainment Corp. (the "Company") occurred by virtue of the Company's largest shareholder, Dmitri Kapsumun selling 900,000 shares (split adjusted) of the Company's common stock to Rise Fast Limited, a Hong Kong corporation. Such shares represent 71.77% of the Company's total issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As part of the sale of the shares, Rise Fast Limited arranged with the resigning member of the Company's Board of Directors, to appoint Mr. Huang Yu as the sole officer and director of the Company. 

On April 16, 2015,  the Company filed  a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada  Secretary of State (the "Nevada SOS") whereby it amended its Articles of  Incorporation  by  increasing  the Company's authorized  number of shares of common  stock from 75 million to 300 million (not adjusted for the one (1) for one hundred (100) stock split) and increasing all of its issued and outstanding  shares of common stock at a ratio of fifteen (15) shares for every one (1) share  held.  The Company's Board of Directors approved this amendment on April 15, 2015 and shareholders holding 71.77% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares approved this amendment via a written consent executed on April 16, 2015.

On April 17,  2015,  the  Company  filed  Articles of Merger with the Nevada SOS whereby it entered  into a statutory  merger with its  wholly-owned  subsidiary, America  Resources  Exploration Inc. pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 92A.200 et. seq. The effect of such merger is that the Company was the surviving entity and changed its name to "America Resources Exploration Inc."

On June 10, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Zheng Xiangwu, a resident of Guang Dong Province, China, whereby the Company issued 40,000 million shares of its common stock in exchange for rights to certain oil and gas leases located in Frio and Atascosa Counties, Texas, consisting of a total of 714 total acres of land, two (2) working wells and a total of seven (7) wells (the “Leases”).

On June 12, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of the Leases pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. As a result of the completion of this acquisition, 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Mr. Zheng Xiangwu, who owns the Company’s largest shareholder, Rise Fast Limited. The number of shares issued to Mr. Zheng was determined by valuing the Leases at $160,000 and valuing the Company’s stock at $0.04 per share.
 
Mr. Zheng is the owner of Rise Fast Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Rise Fast”), which is the majority shareholder of the Company. Rise Fast owns 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the transaction consummated pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Mr. Zheng controlled a total of 940,000 shares, which represented 72.64% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares at that time.

In addition to a change in control of its management and shareholders and entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company's operations prior to entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement were limited to attempting to implement its business plan, issuing shares and filing a registration statement on Form S-1 pursuant to the Securities Act of 1934.

In connection with the completion of the acquisition of the Leases pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company has elected to enter into the oil and gas industry. Our primary objective is to enter the oil and gas industry by acquiring active oil and gas fields. This first step will allow us to enter the market in the U.S. and create immediate cash flow from producing wells. The Company intends to take advantage of currently depressed energy prices by taking over fields from companies that are unable to service their excessive debt due to falling oil prices.

On June 11, 2015 the Company entered into various assignment agreements with Mr. Zheng for the acquisition of multiple oil and gas leases and overriding royalty interests (“ORR’s”) as set out in the table below.  From July 6, 2015 through July 9, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of such oil and gas leases and ORR’s, whereby the Company issued a total of 6,500 shares of its common stock to Mr. Zheng. The Company valued the transaction at the market price of the shares as at the date of issue, or $0.15 per share for a total value of $97,500.  The Company capitalized the historical cost of the acquired assets totaling $51,263 and recorded a loss on acquisition of $46,237.

On August 13, 2015 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Inceptus Resources, LLC whereunder the Company acquired a 78% net revenue interest in 200 acres located in Callahan County, Texas, and a 78% net revenue interest in 522 acres also located in Callahan County, Texas.  In respect of the acquired leases the Company issued a total of 5,000 shares of common stock on the closing date, August 19, 2015, which shares were valued at market price on the date of the transaction, totaling $448,500, which amount was capitalized.  As at September 30, 2015 the Company evaluated the capitalized value of the leases and determined to impair the amount in full due to the fact that the Company had no historical cost basis for the leases, and no immediate development plans for the lease land.  A total of $448,500 has been expensed as Impairment loss on oil and gas lease in the third quarter.

In order to assist the Company’s entry into the oil and gas industry, the Company added Joe M. Seabourn and Robert Wiener to its Board of Directors in June 2015.  Mr. Weiner resigned from the Board of Directors in November 2015 and Mr. Seabourn resigned from the Board of Directors in December 2015.  The resignations of Messrs. Weiner and Seabourn were not due to any disagreements of any nature with the Company.

On January 20, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State (the "Nevada SOS") whereby it amended its Articles of Incorporation by decreasing all of its issued and outstanding  shares of common stock at a ratio of one (1) share for every one hundred (100) shares held.  The Company's Board of Directors approved this amendment on January 13, 2016 and shareholders holding 68.65% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares approved the amendment via a written consent executed on January 14, 2016.

On January 20, 2016, the  Company  filed  Articles of Merger with the Nevada SOS whereby it entered  into a statutory  merger with its  wholly-owned  subsidiary, PetroGas Company pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 92A.200 et. seq. The effect of such merger is that the Company was the surviving entity and changed its name from America Resources Exploration Inc. to "PetroGas Company".

Both the reverse stock split and name change described above were effected in the market by FINRA effective March 7, 2016, which also resulted in changing the Company’s ticker symbol to “PTCO”.

CURRENT INVESTMENTS

On June 12, 2015, the Company acquired three (3) producing leases covering 714 acres situated in Atascosa and Frio Counties, Texas, located in the Eagle Ford Shale formation - the Jane Burns “C” (“Burns”), the Theo Rogers “C”, and the Theo Rogers “A” & “D” (“Rogers”) Leases. The Company acquired a 99.5% working interest (74.625% net revenue interest) in each lease.  

The Burns and Rogers Leases provide exploration and production opportunities in the Kyote Field pay zone, very near the Eagle Ford Shale play with access to available rig crews and other vendor-servicers, due to their close proximity to San Antonio, Texas.

The Burns and Rogers Leases hold collectively seven (7) oil wells, but none of which are operating wells. Although Company’s management and industry professionals believed at the time that they were acquired that the Company could double or triple previous production on these wells, depressed oil prices indicate that the cost to bring these wells online an uneconomical venture.
 
Future Operations
 
Management continues to consider plans to reactive the inactive wells through a rework program on the Leases. Additional rights may be leased out from mineral owner to deeper zones near 5,000 feet and below. However, such plans are subject to raising financing of $500,000 to pay for such rework plans and an analysis of potential income based on projected oil prices in the future.

Future Expansion
 
The Company is actively seeking to acquire producing and non-producing leases that will allow us to explore and drill in high-profile pay zones.
 
We intend to raise capital at a low cost from private placements so that we may acquire numerous additional leases, and to commence drilling, and taking advantage of the inevitable uptick in oil prices to come.
 
In the current climate, the Company believes that there are a very large number of oil & gas leases under distress due to the depressed gas prices and that we can strategically position the Company to acquire as many of these leases as possible at a discount to market value, hence creating shareholder value.
 
We are planning an exploration strategy to drill new wells on the current Leases, as well as acquire deeper rights in order to drill some of the wells at great depths. We expect that reservoirs at those depths could yield a very high daily output of oil.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to Our Oil and Gas Operations

If our exploration and development programs prove unsuccessful, we may not be able to continue operations.
 
An investment in our company should be considered highly speculative due to the nature of our involvement in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas.  Oil and gas exploration involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.  Exploratory drilling is subject to numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially productive oil and natural gas reservoirs will be encountered.  The cost to drill, complete and operate wells is often uncertain, and drilling operations may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of a variety of factors including unexpected drilling conditions, abnormal pressures, equipment failures, premature declines of reservoirs, blow-outs, sour gas releases, fires, spills or other accidents, as well as weather conditions, compliance with governmental requirements, delays in receiving governmental approvals or permits, unexpected environmental issues and shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment.  Our inability to drill wells that produce commercial quantities of oil and natural gas would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Future oil and gas acquisitions or exploration may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells, but from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues to return a profit after exploration, drilling, operating and other costs.  Completion of wells does not ensure a profit on the investment or recovery of exploration, drilling, completion and operating costs.  Drilling hazards or environmental damage could greatly increase the cost of operations, and various field operating conditions may adversely affect production.  Adverse conditions include delays in obtaining governmental approvals or consents, shut-ins of connected wells resulting from extreme weather conditions, insufficient storage or transportation capacity or other geological and mechanical conditions.

Fluctuations in commodity prices could have a material impact on our revenues, which would affect our profitability.

Commodity price risk related to conventional crude oil prices could become our most significant market risk exposure if we achieve oil and natural gas production.  Crude oil prices are influenced by such worldwide factors as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries actions, political events and supply and demand fundamentals.  At this time, we cannot accurately predict these fluctuations because we do not know when we will commence generating revenues from our oil and gas operations.  Furthermore, we cannot estimate, at this time, the impact of commodity price fluctuations until we can predict the level of revenues.

Application, interpretation and enforcement of government tax and other legislation is inconsistent making it difficult for us to ensure that we are compliant which could lead to penalties.

The tax environment in the United States is subject to change, inconsistent application, interpretation and enforcement.  Non-compliance with US laws and regulations can lead to the imposition of penalties and interest.  We intend to make every effort to conform to these laws and regulations. However, our interpretations and those of our advisors may not be the same as those of government officials, which could lead to penalties and interest.

We face competition which could adversely affect our ability to significantly penetrate the oil and gas market in the U.S., which may make it difficult to attain profitability.

The oil and gas market in the U.S. is highly competitive. Most of the competitors are major international energy industry operators.  These competitors have various advantages over us, including:
 
 
-
Substantially greater financial resources, which gives them greater access to the types of distressed properties that we are targeting and flexibility when developing their exploration and drilling programs;
 
-
greater recognition in the industry, which influences a potential partners’ decision to participate in programs;
 
-
larger operations, which provides economies of scale and operating efficiencies not available to us;
 
-
longer operating histories; and
 
-
more established relationships with strategic partners.
 
We may be unable to successfully compete with these established competitors, which may adversely affect our ability to acquire additional properties and thus impact our ability to generate revenue.

 
6

 
Compliance, interpretation and enforcement with evolving environmental laws and regulations may impact our expenses in a negative manner, which would directly impact our profit margins.

Extensive national, regional and local environmental laws and regulations in the U.S. will affect our operations.  These laws and regulations set various standards regulating certain aspects of health and environmental quality which provide for user fees, penalties and other liabilities for the violation of these standards and establish, in some circumstances, obligations to remediate current and former facilities and off-site locations. We believe we are currently in compliance with all existing environmental laws and regulations.  However, as new environmental laws and legislation are enacted and the old laws are repealed, interpretation, application and enforcement of the laws may become inconsistent.  Compliance in the future could require significant expenditures, which would directly impact our profit margins.

Drilling, exploring for and producing oil is a high risk activity with many uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Our future financial condition and results of operations will depend on the success of our drilling, exploration and production activities. These activities are subject to numerous risks beyond our control, including the risk that drilling will not result in economic oil production or increases in reserves. Many factors may curtail, delay or cancel our scheduled development projects, including:
 
·
decline in oil prices;
·
compliance with governmental regulations, which may include limitations on hydraulic fracturing, access to water or the discharge of greenhouse gases;
·
inadequate capital resources;
·
inability to attract and retain qualified personnel;
·
unavailability or high cost of drilling and completion equipment, services or materials;
·
unexpected drilling conditions, pressure or irregularities in formations, equipment failures or accidents;
·
adverse weather conditions;
·
surface access restrictions;
·
mechanical difficulties.
 
Oil prices are volatile, and a decline in oil  prices could significantly affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to meet our capital expenditure requirements and financial commitments.
 
Our revenues, profitability and cash flow will depend substantially upon the prices and demand for oil. The markets for this commodity are volatile, and even relatively modest drops in prices can affect significantly our financial results and impede our growth. Prices for oil fluctuate widely in response to relatively minor changes in the supply and demand for these commodities, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond our control, such as:
 
·
domestic and foreign supply of oil;
·
domestic and foreign consumer demand for oil;
·
overall United States and global economic conditions;
·
price and availability of alternative fuels;
·
governmental regulations;
·
technological advances affecting oil consumption.

Further, oil prices continue to be volatile. Advanced drilling and completion technologies, such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, have resulted in increased investment by oil and gas producers in developing U.S. shale gas and, more recently, tight oil projects. The results of higher investment in the exploration for and production of oil and gas and other factors, such as global economic and financial conditions discussed below, may cause the price of oil to fall. Lower oil prices may not only cause our revenues to decrease but also may reduce the amount of oil that we can produce economically. Continue depressed  oil prices have resulted is us having to impair our estimated proved reserves and has had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, if oil prices significantly decline for an extended period of time, we may, among other things, be unable to have any borrowing capacity, repay future debt or obtain additional capital on attractive terms, all of which can affect the value of our common stock.

Future economic conditions in the U.S. and international markets could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
The U.S. and other world economies continue to experience the after-effects of a global recession and credit market crisis. More volatility may occur before a sustainable growth rate is achieved either domestically or globally. Even if such growth rate is achieved, such a rate may be lower than the U.S. and international economies have experienced in the past. Global economic growth drives demand for energy from all sources, including fossil fuels. A lower, future economic growth rate will result in decreased demand for our oil production and lower commodity prices, and consequently reduce our revenues, cash flows from operations and our profitability.

We are subject to complex governmental laws and regulations that may adversely affect the cost, manner and feasibility of doing business.
 
Our oil drilling, production and gathering operations are subject to complex and stringent laws and regulations. To operate in compliance with these laws and regulations, we must obtain and maintain numerous permits and approvals from various federal, state and local governmental authorities. We may incur substantial costs to comply with these existing laws and regulations. In addition, our costs of compliance may increase if existing laws and regulations are revised or reinterpreted, or if new laws and regulations apply to our operations. Such costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Failure to comply with laws and regulations applicable to our operations, including any evolving interpretation and enforcement by government authorities, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Environmental laws and regulations may expose us to significant costs and liabilities.
 
There is inherent risk of incurring significant environmental costs and liabilities in our oil operations due to the handling of petroleum hydrocarbons and generated wastes, the occurrence of air emissions and water discharges from work-related activities and the legacy of pollution from historical industry operations and waste disposal practices. We may incur joint and several or strict liability under these environmental laws and regulations in connection with spills, leaks or releases of petroleum hydrocarbons and wastes on, under or from our properties and facilities, some of which have been used for exploration, production or development activities for many years and by third parties not under our control. In particular, the number of private, civil lawsuits involving hydraulic fracturing has risen in recent years. Since late 2009, multiple private lawsuits alleging ground water contamination have been filed in the U.S. against oil and gas companies, primarily by landowners who leased oil and gas rights to defendants, or by landowners who live close to areas where hydraulic fracturing has taken place. In addition, changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any such changes that result in more stringent and costly waste handling, storage, transport, disposal or remediation requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may not be able to recover some or any of these costs from insurance.
 
Our business requires significant capital expenditures and we may not be able to obtain needed capital or financing on satisfactory terms or at all.
 
Our exploration, development and acquisition activities require substantial capital expenditures. We intend to fund our capital expenditures through a combination of private or public equity financings. We may not be able to obtain equity financing on favorable terms or at all. The failure to obtain financing could cause us to scale back our exploration and development operations, which in turn could lead to loss of properties.
 
Currently, all of our properties are located in eight (8) counties, making us vulnerable to risks associated with having our production concentrated in a small area.
 
All of our properties are concentrated in eight (8) counties comprised of six (6) counties in Texas (Atascosa, Frio, Hemphill, Madison, Shelby and Callahan Counties), one (1) county in Oklahoma (Ellis County), and one (1) county in Utah (Emergy County). As a result of this concentration, we are disproportionately exposed to the natural decline of production from these fields as well as the impact of delays or interruptions of production from these wells, which could be caused by significant governmental regulation, transportation capacity constraints, curtailments of production, service delays, natural disasters or other events that impact this area.
 
Market conditions or transportation and infrastructure impediments may hinder our access to oil markets or delay our production or sales.
 
Market conditions or the unavailability of satisfactory oil processing and transportation services and infrastructure may hinder our access to oil markets or delay our production or sales. The availability of a ready market for our oil production depends on a number of factors, including market demand and the proximity of any producing wells that we may operate in the future to pipelines or trucking and rail terminal facilities. In addition, the amount of oil that can be produced and sold is subject to curtailment in certain circumstances, such as pipeline interruptions due to maintenance, physical damage to the gathering or transportation system or lack of contracted capacity on such systems. The curtailments arising from these and similar circumstances may last from a few days to several months, and in many cases, we are provided with limited, if any, notice as to when these circumstances will arise and their duration. As a result, we may not be able to sell, or may have to transport by more expensive means, the oil that we produce, or we may be required to shut in oil wells or delay initial production until the necessary gathering and transportation systems are available. Any significant curtailment in gathering system, transportation, pipeline capacity or significant delay in construction of necessary gathering and transportation facilities, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, materials, personnel and oilfield services could adversely affect our ability to execute our drilling and development plans on a timely basis and within our budget.
 
Our industry is cyclical and, from time to time, there is a shortage of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies or qualified personnel. During these periods, the costs and delivery times of equipment, oilfield services and supplies are substantially greater. In addition, the demand for, and wage rates of, qualified drilling and completion crews rise as the number of active rigs in service increases. Increasing levels of exploration and production will increase the demand for oilfield services, and the costs of these services may increase, while the quality of these services may suffer. If the availability of equipment, crews, materials and services in counties in which our properties are located is particularly severe, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected because our properties are located solely in those counties.
 
Competition in the oil and gas industry is intense, and most of our competitors have resources that are greater than ours.
 
We operate in a highly competitive environment for acquiring prospects and productive properties, marketing oil and securing equipment and skilled personnel. Most of our competitors are major and large independent oil and gas companies that have financial, technical and personnel resources substantially greater than ours. Those companies may be able to develop and acquire more prospects and productive properties than our financial or personnel resources permit. Our ability to develop and operate our current projects, acquire additional prospects and discover reserves in the future will depend on our ability to hire and retain qualified personnel, evaluate and select suitable properties and consummate transactions and in a highly competitive environment. Also, there is substantial competition for capital available for investment in the oil and gas industry. Larger competitors may be better able to withstand sustained periods of unsuccessful drilling and absorb the burden of changes in laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position. We may not be able to compete successfully in the future in attracting and retaining qualified personnel, acquiring prospective reserves, developing reserves, marketing oil and raising additional capital.

Operating hazards or other interruptions of our operations could result in potential liabilities, for which we do not have insurance.

The oil and gas business involves certain operating hazards such as well blowouts, cratering, explosions, uncontrollable flows of gas, oil or well fluids, fires, surface and subsurface pollution and contamination, and releases of toxic gas. The occurrence of one of the above may result in injury, loss of life, suspension of operations, environmental damage and remediation and/or governmental investigations and penalties.  We do not currently have insurance and if we do acquire insurance at the commencement of operations, then consistent with insurance coverage generally available to the industry, we expect that our insurance policies will provide limited coverage for losses or liabilities relating to pollution, with broader coverage for sudden and accidental occurrences. Our insurance, when acquired, might be inadequate to cover our liabilities. The insurance market in general and the energy insurance market in particular have been difficult markets over the past several years. Insurance costs are expected to continue to increase over the next few years, and we may decrease coverage and retain more risk to mitigate future cost increases. If we incur substantial liability and the damages are not covered by insurance or are in excess of policy limits, or if we incur liability at a time when we are not able to obtain liability insurance, then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
 
Our results are subject to quarterly and seasonal fluctuations.
 
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate and could be negatively impacted in the future as a result of a number of factors, including seasonal variations in oil  prices, variations in levels of production, if an when production commences,  and the completion of development projects.
 
Risks Relating to an Investment in our Securities
 
If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected.
 
We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. Any failure of these controls could also prevent us from maintaining accurate accounting records and discovering accounting errors and financial frauds. Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. We may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted.
 
In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting, or disclosure of our public accounting firm’s attestation to or report on management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.
 
Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses.
 
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the public markets and public reporting. For example, on January 30, 2009, the SEC adopted rules requiring companies to provide their financial statements in interactive data format using the eXtensible Business Reporting Language, or XBRL. We currently have to comply with these rules. Our management team will need to invest significant management time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.

Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.
 
Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of its development. We have not generated any revenues nor have we realized a profit from our -operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will generate any revenues or realize any profits in the short term.   Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon our ability to market the products developed under our licensing agreement and to source other acquisitions in the industry we have chosen either additional technologies or exploration projects. Since we have not generated any revenues, we will have to raise additional monies through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to continue our business operations.
 
We may, in the future, issue additional common shares that would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.
 
The future issuance of common shares may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common shares held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any common shares issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common shares for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the common shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common shares.
 
Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our shares because they are considered penny stocks and are subject to the penny stock rules thereby potentially limiting the liquidity of our shares.
 
Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on NASD broker-dealers who make a market in "penny stocks". A penny stock generally includes any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share.  Our shares are quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace.  NASD broker-dealers who act as market makers for our shares generally facilitate purchases and sales of our shares.  The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the secondary market.
 
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or "accredited investor" (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt.

In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt.  A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities.  Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.
 
Our common stock may experience extreme rises or declines in price, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price paid.
 
Our common stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to extreme fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including (but not necessarily limited to): (i) the trading volume of our shares; (ii) the number of securities analysts, market-makers and brokers following our common stock; (iii) changes in, or failure to achieve, financial estimates by securities analysts; (iv) actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results; (v) conditions or trends in our business industries; (vi) announcements by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; (vii) additions or departures of key personnel; (viii) sales of our common stock; and (ix) general stock market price and volume fluctuations of publicly-trading and particularly, microcap companies.
 
Investors may have difficulty reselling shares of our common stock, either at or above the price they paid for our stock, or even at fair market value. The stock markets often experience significant price and volume changes that are not related to the operating performance of individual companies, and because our common stock is thinly traded it is particularly susceptible to such changes. These broad market changes may cause the market price of our common stock to decline regardless of how well we perform as a company. In addition, there is a history of securities class action litigation following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. Although there is no such shareholder litigation currently pending or threatened against the Company, such a suit against us could result in the incursion of substantial legal fees, potential liabilities and the diversion of management’s attention and resources from our business. Moreover, and as noted below, our shares are currently traded on the OTC Pink Marketplace and, further, are subject to the penny stock regulations. Price fluctuations in such shares are particularly volatile and subject to manipulation by market-makers, short-sellers and option traders.
 
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital, it may adversely impact our ability to continue operations and we may go out of business.
 
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because we may attempt to acquire a significant portion of the funds we need in order to conduct our planned operations through the sale of equity securities, or convertible debt instruments, a decline in the price of our common stock could be detrimental to our liquidity and our operations because the decline may cause investors to not choose to invest in our stock. If we are unable to raise the funds we require for all our planned operations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may suffer, and not be successful and we may go out of business. We also might not be able to meet our financial obligations if we cannot raise enough funds through the sale of our common stock and we may be forced to go out of business.

ITEM 5.MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Information

There is a limited public market for our common shares.  Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets at this time.  Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations or business prospects.  
 
OTC Pink Sheet securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange.  Instead, OTC Pink Sheet securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Pink Sheet issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.

All OTC Pink Sheets quotations reproduced herein reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.
 
The following table sets forth, for each quarter during the period commencing April 1, 2014 through March 31, 2016, the reported high and low bid prices of our common stock on the OTC. These prices have not been adjusted to take into consideration the 1:100 reverse stock split that was effected in the market on March 7, 2016.  Our stock was first quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets in June 2015 and previously was not traded on any exchange or on the over-the-counter market.

Holders

As of August 18, 2016, we had eight (8) shareholders of record of our common stock and believe that there may be additional beneficial holders of our common stock.

Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends to our shareholders.  The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions.  It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.

Equity Compensation Plans

The company has not adopted any equity compensation plans and does not anticipate adopting any equity compensation plans in the near future.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, because the company has limited cash resources at this time, it may issue shares or options to or enter into obligations that are convertible into shares of common stock with its employees and consultants as payment for services or as discretionary bonuses.

On November 2, 2015, the Company issued 10,000 shares to Mr. Joe Seabourn in connection with his consulting contract with the Company (which were reduced to 10,000 shares as a result of the decrease of issued and outstanding shares at a ratio of one (1) share for every one hundred shares held, on January 20, 2016).   Except for the issuance to Mr. Seabourn described above, the company does not have any arrangements for such issuances or arrangements at this time.

Recent Sales of unregistered securities

Issuances pursuant to Regulation S

On February 19, 2014, the Company issued 900,000 shares of common stock (split adjusted) to Dmitri Kapsamun, who was a director of the Company at the time, for cash proceeds of $6,000 at $.001 per share.   No underwriters were utilized in connection with this sale of securities.  On April 3, 2015, Mr. Kapsamun sold all such shares to Rise Fast Limited, a Hong Kong corporation, which, after a 15 for 1 stock split represented 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On June 10, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with its largest shareholder, Mr. Zheng, a resident of Guang Dong Province, China, whereby the Company issued 40,000 shares of its common stock on June 12, 2015 in exchange for one hundred percent interest in certain oil and gas leases giving the holder the right to produce oil and gas from an aggregate of 714 acres located in Frio and Atascosa Counties, Texas.  Mr. Zheng is the sole owner of Rise Fast Limited, a Hong Kong corporation, which is the majority shareholder of the Company and, prior to this transaction, owned a total of 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.   The number of shares issued to Mr. Zheng was determined by valuing the oil and gas leases at $160,000 and valuing the Company’s stock at $0.04 per share.

On June 12, 2015, the Company accepted from its largest shareholder a Subscription Agreement for the sale of up to 25,500 shares of its common stock. No underwriters were utilized in connection with this sale of securities.  The Subscription Agreement provides that the shares shall be sold as follows: (i) upon execution thereof, the purchaser irrevocably agreed to purchase 10,000 at $0.15 per share; (ii) within sixty (60) days of the date of the Subscription Agreement, the purchaser has the right to purchase an additional 7,500 shares at the price of $0.20 per share; and (iii) within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date of the Subscription Agreement, the purchaser has the right to purchase an additional 8,000 shares at the price of $0.20 per share.  On June 19, 2015, the Company received payment of $150,000 for the first tranche described above.

On June 11, 2015 the Company entered into various assignment agreements for the acquisition of multiple oil and gas leases and ORR’s as set out in the table below.  On July 6 and July 9, 2015, the Company entered into five (5) Asset Purchase Agreements and assignment agreements for the acquisition of multiple oil and gas leases and overriding royalty interests, pursuant to which the Company issued a total of 6,500 shares of its common stock to its largest shareholder. The Company valued the transaction at the market price of the shares as at the date of issue, or $0.15 per share for a total value of $97,500.

Each of the foregoing issuances of securities was exempt from registration due to the exemption found in Regulation S promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933. These sales were offshore transactions since all of the offerees were not in the United States and the purchasers were outside the United States at the time of the purchase. Moreover, there were no directed selling efforts of any kind made in the United States neither by us nor by any affiliate or any person acting on our behalf in connection with any of these offerings. All offering materials and documents used in connection with the offers and sales of the securities included statements to the effect that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons unless the securities are registered under the Act or an exemption therefrom is available and that hedging transactions involving those securities may not be conducted unless in compliance with the Act. Each purchaser under Regulation S certified that it is not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. person and agreed to resell such securities only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration. The shares sold are restricted securities and the certificates representing these shares have been affixed with a standard restrictive legend, which states that the securities cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption there from and we are required to refuse to register any transfer that does not comply with such requirements.

Issuances pursuant to Regulation D

On May 27, 2015, Seabourn Oil Company, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“SOC”) and a subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Joe Madison Seabourn, a resident of Abilene, Texas and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Mr. Seabourn”) and Nelaco Operating Inc., a Texas corporation (“Nelaco”), whereby SOC agreed to purchase from Nelaco one hundred percent (100%) interest in certain oil and gas assets located in Callahan County, Texas in exchange for a six percent (6%) ownership interest in SOC, which reduces the Company’s ownership interest in SOC to ninety-four percent (94%).  Mr. Seabourn is also the President and controlling shareholder of Nelaco.

On August 13, 2015 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Inceptus Resources, LLC, pursuant to which the Company acquired a 78% net revenue interest in 200 acres located in Callahan County, Texas, and a 78% net revenue interest in 522 acres also located in Callahan County, Texas.  In exchange for such leases, the Company issued 5,000 shares of common stock on August 19, 2015, which shares were valued at $448,500, which was the market price for the Company’s common stock on the date of the transaction.

The foregoing issuances of securities were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Neither we nor any person acting on our behalf offered or sold these securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The shares sold are restricted securities and the certificates representing these shares have been affixed with a standard restrictive legend, which states that the securities cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption therefrom. The purchaser represented to the Company that they were purchasing the securities for their own account and not for the account of any other persons. The purchasers were provided with written disclosure that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and therefore cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption therefrom.

No underwriters were utilized in connection with this sale of securities by SOC.  The sale of the shares by SOC was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

There were no repurchases of common stock for the year ended March 31, 2016.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This annual report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These include statements about our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which we indicate by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “we believe,” “management believes” and similar language. Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and elsewhere in this current report on Form 10-K are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The factors listed in the section captioned “Risk Factors,” as well as any cautionary language in this current report on Form 10-K, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected. Except as may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events after the date of this current report on Form 10-K.

Overview

We intend for this discussion to provide information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles affect our financial statements.

The Company has experienced net losses to date, and it has not generated revenue from operations, we will need additional working capital to service debt and for ongoing operations, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management of the Company has developed a strategy to meet operational shortfalls which may include equity funding, short term or long term financing or debt financing, to enable the Company to reach profitable operations.  If we fail to generate positive cash flow or obtain additional financing, when required, we may have to modify, delay, or abandon some or all of our business and expansion plans

Corporate History

America Resources Exploration Inc. was incorporated on January 24, 2014, under the laws of the State of Nevada to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, with the specific intended business activity of operating photo booth rentals. The Company was incorporated under the name “Alazzio Entertainment Corp.” and changed its name to America Resources Exploration Inc. on April 29, 2015.

In addition to a change in control of its management and shareholders, the Company's operations to date have been limited to attempting to implement its business plan, issuing shares and filing a registration statement on Form S-1 pursuant to the Securities Act of 1934.

Subsequent to the Company’s fiscal year end of March 31, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), dated June 10, 2015, with Zheng Xiangwu, a resident of Guang Dong Province, China, whereby the Company issued 40,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for rights to certain oil and gas leases located in Frio and Atascosa Counties, Texas, consisting of a total of 714 total acres of land, two (2) working wells and a total of seven (7) wells (the “Leases”).

Mr. Zheng is the owner of Rise Fast Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Rise Fast”), which is the majority shareholder of the Company.

The three (3) producing leases acquired by the Company are situated in Atascosa and Frio Counties, Texas, located in the Eagle Ford Shale formation - the Jane Burns “C” (“Burns”), the Theo Rogers “C”, and the Theo Rogers “A” & “D” (“Rogers”) Leases. The Company acquired a 99.5% working interest (74.625% net revenue interest) in each lease.

On June 11, 2015 the Company entered into various assignment agreements with Mr. Zheng for the acquisition of multiple oil and gas leases and overriding royalty interests (“ORR’s”) as set out in the table below.  From July 6, 2015 through July 9, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of such oil and gas leases and ORR’s, whereby the Company issued a total of 6,500 shares of its common stock to Mr. Zheng. The Company valued the transaction at the market price of the shares as at the date of issue, or $0.15 per share for a total value of $97,500.  The Company capitalized the historical cost of the acquired assets totaling $51,263 and recorded a loss on acquisition of $46,237.

On August 13, 2015 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Inceptus Resources, LLC whereunder the Company acquired a 78% net revenue interest in 200 acres located in Callahan County, Texas, and a 78% net revenue interest in 522 acres also located in Callahan County, Texas.  In respect of the acquired leases the Company issued a total of 5,000 shares of common stock on the closing date, August 19, 2015, which shares were valued at market price on the date of the transaction, totaling $448,500, which amount was capitalized.  As at September 30, 2015 the Company evaluated the capitalized value of the leases and determined to impair the amount in full due to the fact that the Company had no historical cost basis for the leases, and no immediate development plans for the lease land.  A total of $448,500 has been expensed as Impairment loss on oil and gas lease in the third quarter.

On January 20, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State (the "Nevada SOS") whereby it amended its Articles of Incorporation by decreasing all of its issued and outstanding  shares of common stock at a ratio of one (1) shares for every one hundred (100) shares held.  The Company's Board of Directors approved this amendment on January 13, 2016 and shareholders holding 68.65% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares approved this amendment via a written consent executed on January 14, 2016.

On January 20,  2016,  the  Company  filed  Articles of Merger with the Nevada SOS whereby it entered  into a statutory  merger with its  wholly-owned  subsidiary, PetroGas Company pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 92A.200 et. seq. The effect of such merger is that the Company was the surviving entity and changed its name from America Resources Exploration Inc. to "PetroGas Company".

Business Overview

The Burns and Rogers Leases provide exploration and production opportunities in the Kyote Field pay zone, very near the Eagle Ford Shale play with access to available rig crews and other vendor-servicers, due to their close proximity to San Antonio, Texas.

The Rogers Lease currently has no operating wells. The Rogers and Burns Leases hold collectively seven (7) oil wells which have a long history of producing a favorable oil to water ratio, such that an injection well is not needed for disposal of saltwater.
 
Management is considering plans to reactive the inactive wells through a rework program on the Leases should oil prices recover. Additional rights may be leased out from mineral owner to deeper zones near 5,000 feet and below. However, such plans are subject to raising financing of $500,000 to pay for such rework plans and an analysis of potential income based on projected oil prices in the future.

Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and accompanying notes appended thereto that are included in this annual report.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended March 31, 2016

The Company’s operating expenses for the year ended March 31, 2016 increased to $142,950 from $0 for the year ended March 31, 2015.  Operating expenses for the year ended March 31, 2016 are comprised of $59,370 in lease operating expense and $83,580 in accretion expense.

The Company’s general and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2016 increased to $248,865 from $29,976 for the year ended March 31, 2015.  The increase to expenses was predominantly related to professional fees including accounting, audit, legal and consulting fees as a requirement of our public reporting obligations.

Other expenses for the year ended March 31, 2016 increased to $825,797 for theyear ended March 31, 2016 from $485 for the year ended March 31, 2015.  The increase is primarily driven by increases in impairment of oil and gas leases (proven and unproven), interest expense, and loss on acquisition of royalty interest and unproven property.

Plan of Operation

Management is considering plans to reactive its inactive wells through a rework program on the Leases. Additional rights may be leased out from mineral owner to deeper zones near 5,000 feet and below. However, such plans are subject to raising financing of $500,000 to pay for such rework plans and an analysis of potential income based on projected oil prices in the future.

The Company is actively seeking to acquire producing and non-producing leases that will allow us to explore and drill in high-profile pay zones.

We intend to raise capital at a low cost from private placements so that we may acquire numerous additional leases, and to commence drilling, and taking advantage of the inevitable uptick in oil prices to come.

In the current climate, the Company believes that there are a very large number of oil & gas leases under distress due to the depressed gas prices and that we can strategically position the Company to acquire as many of these leases as possible at a discount to market value, hence creating shareholder value.

On the Burns and Rogers Leases, we intend to rework all current wells and bring them back to production once oil prices are in a suitable range. We are planning an exploration strategy to drill new wells on the current Leases, as well as acquire deeper rights in order to drill some of the wells at great depths. We expect that reservoirs at those depths could yield a very high daily output of oil.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $0 and a negative working capital of $183,230.

For the twelve months ended March 31, 2016, we used $264,637 of cash for operations primarily as a result of the net loss of $1,208,626 offset by non-cash expenses of $933,989 primarily comprised of impairment of oil and gas leases, asset retirement obligation accretion, loss on acquisition of royalty interests and unproven property, amortization of debt discount, stock-based compensation, and change in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities of $53,787 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2016 was due to improvements to proven oil and gas assets and a refund on assets.

For the twelve months ended March 31, 2016, the Company had $322,453 in net cash from financing activities comprised of advances from a related party, proceeds from notes payable, repayment on notes payable, and proceeds from the sale of common stock.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments which are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of their evaluation form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and circumstances. Our significant accounting policies are more fully discussed in Note 2 to our Audited Financial Statements contained herein.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements and does not believe that there are any other accounting pronouncements that have been issued that may have a material impact on its financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Petrogas Company:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Petrogas Company (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. 
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 
 
In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Petrogas Company, as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
 
The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PETROGAS COMPANY
(Formerly: AMERICA RESOURCES EXPLORATION INC.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PERSENTATION
 
PetroGas Company (Formerly America Resources Exploration Inc. (the “Company”)), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 24, 2014. The Company was incorporated under the name Alazzio Entertainment Corp. and changed its name to America Resources Exploration Inc. on April 17, 2015.  Subsequently, on January 20, 2016, the Company changed its name to PetroGas Company.  On June 12, 2015, the Company completed an acquisition of working interests in certain oil & gas properties as discussed in Note 4 below.

On April 16, 2015, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State whereby it amended its Articles of Incorporation by increasing the Company's authorized number of shares of common stock from 75 million to 300 million and increasing all of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of fifteen (15) shares for every one (1) share held.  

On January 20, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State (the “Nevada SOS”) whereby decreasing all of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of one (1) share for every one hundred (100) shares held. The Company’s Board of Directors approved this amendment on January 13, 2016 and shareholders holding 68.65% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares approved this amendment via a written consent executed on January 14, 2016.

All share amounts in these financial statements have been adjusted to reflect this stock split.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

Basis of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 94% owned subsidiary, Seabourn Oil Company, LLC.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Year End

The Company has selected March 31 as its fiscal year end.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of commercial accounts and interest-bearing bank deposits and are carried at cost, which approximates current value. Items are considered to be cash equivalents if the original maturity is three months or less.

Equipment and Facilities

Equipment and facilities are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from one to twenty-five years.

PETROGAS COMPANY
(Formerly: AMERICA RESOURCES EXPLORATION INC.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Intangible Assets

Acquired intangible assets are recognized at cost and are classified as assets with finite useful lives. The Company amortizes the intangible assets with five years using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets. Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment to determine if current circumstances and market conditions indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Oil and Gas Properties – Full Cost Method

The Company follows the full cost accounting method to account for oil and natural gas properties, whereby costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on nonproducing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil and gas wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized to operations.
   
The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, excluding unevaluated and unproved properties, are amortized as depreciation, depletion and amortization expense using the units-of-production method based on estimated proved recoverable oil and gas reserves.
 
The costs associated with unevaluated and unproved properties, initially excluded from the amortization base, relate to unproved leasehold acreage, wells and production facilities in progress and wells pending determination of the existence of proved reserves, together with capitalized interest costs for these projects. Unproved leasehold costs are transferred to the amortization base with the costs of drilling the related well once a determination of the existence of proved reserves has been made or upon impairment of a lease. Costs associated with wells in progress and completed wells that have yet to be evaluated are transferred to the amortization base once a determination is made whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the property. Costs of dry wells are transferred to the amortization base immediately upon determination that the well is unsuccessful.
 
All items classified as unproved property are assessed on a quarterly basis for possible impairment or reduction in value. Properties are assessed on an individual basis or as a group if properties are individually insignificant. The assessment includes consideration of various factors, including, but not limited to, the following: intent to drill; remaining lease term; geological and geophysical evaluations; drilling results and activity; assignment of proved reserves; and economic viability of development if proved reserves are assigned. During any period in which these factors indicate an impairment, the cumulative drilling costs incurred to date for such property and all or a portion of the associated leasehold costs are transferred to the full cost pool and become subject to amortization.

Under full cost accounting rules for each cost center, capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties, including asset retirement costs, less accumulated amortization and related deferred income taxes, may not exceed an amount (the "cost ceiling") equal to the sum of (a) the present value of future net cash flows from estimated production of proved oil and gas reserves, based on current prices and operating conditions, discounted at ten percent (10%), plus (b) the cost of properties not being amortized, plus (c) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of any unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, less (d) any income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the properties involved. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged to operations.  For purposes of the ceiling test calculation, current prices are defined as the unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period.  Prices are adjusted for basis or location differentials.  Unless sales contracts specify otherwise, prices are held constant for the productive life of each well.  Similarly, current costs are assumed to remain constant over the entire calculation period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Oil and Gas Properties – Full Cost Method (Cont’d)

The Company’s proved properties have not operated for in excess of two years and under present circumstances, can not be placed on production. Given the decline and continuing volatility of oil and gas prices which has prevented the Company from bringing its proven wells online, an estimate of discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves is indeterminable. In addition, development of the Company’s unproved properties in not viable, nor are revenues from the Company’s ORR’s. As a result, the Company has evaluated its proved and unproven assets as at March 31, 2016 and has fully impaired these assets.  We recognized a cumulative total of $713,550 and $0 of impairment costs during the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively in respect of our proven and unproven oil and gas assets, in addition to a total of $46,237 which was impaired during the third quarter ended September 30, 2015 as a result of the loss on acquisition of certain ORR’s.

Impairment

FASB ASC 360-10-35-21 requires that assets to be held and used be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Oil and gas properties accounted for using the full cost method of accounting (which the Company uses) are excluded from this requirement but continue to be subject to the full cost method's impairment rules.

Revenue Recognition 

Oil and gas sales result from undivided interests held by the Company in oil and gas properties. Sales of oil and gas produced from oil and gas operations are recognized when the product is delivered to the purchaser and title transfers to the purchaser. Charges for gathering and transportation are included in production expenses.  The Company had no sales of oil and gas during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company records a liability for asset retirement obligations ("ARO") associated with its oil and gas wells when those assets are placed in service. The corresponding cost is capitalized as an asset and included in the carrying amount of oil and gas properties and is depleted over the useful life of the properties. Subsequently, the ARO liability is accreted to its then-present value.
 
Inherent in the fair value calculation of an ARO are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement, and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions impact the fair value of the existing ARO liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the oil and gas property balance. Settlements greater than or less than amounts accrued as ARO are recorded as a gain or loss upon settlement.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the requirements of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1- Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2- Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Cont’d)

Level 3- Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information,

The carrying value of all assets and liabilities approximated their fair values as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows the guidance included in ASC 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) using the modified prospective transition method. The Company recognizes compensation expense in the financial statements for share-based awards based on the grant date fair value of those awards.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes . Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statements and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known. The estimates on depreciation were based on the estimated useful lives of the Company's assets. Any estimates during the period have had an immaterial effect on earnings.

Earnings or Loss Per Share

In accordance with ASC Topic 280 – “Earnings Per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3– GOING CONCERN

The Company has experienced net losses to date, and it has not generated revenue from operations, we will need additional working capital to service debt and for ongoing operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management of the Company has developed a strategy to meet operational shortfalls which may include equity funding, short term or long term financing or debt financing, to enable the Company to reach profitable operations.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. If we fail to generate positive cash flow or obtain additional financing, when required, we may have to modify, delay, or abandon some or all of our business and expansion plans.

NOTE 4– OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
 
On May 27, 2015, the Company incorporated a limited liability corporation in the State of Texas called Seabourn Oil Company, LLC (“Seabourn LLC”) for the purpose of acquiring certain oil and gas leases.  On May 27, 2015 Seabourn completed the acquisition of the leases from Nelaco Operating Company, Inc., a company controlled by Mr. Joe Seabourn, a member of our board of directors.  Under the terms of the assignment and bill of sale Seabourn LLC acquired a 100% working interest and an 80% net revenue interest in a total of 960 acres located in two tracts in Callahan County, Texas.  Under the terms of the agreements Mr. Seabourn retains a 6% ownership interest in Seabourn LLC.  The Company capitalized this property at a nominal value of $100 in respect of the transaction due to the fact that Mr. Seabourn was unable to provide historical cost for the acquired lease land.

On June 10, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Zheng Xiangwu (“Zheng”), a resident of Guang Dong Province, China, and the Company’s controlling shareholder (see Note 5 ), whereby the Company issued 40,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for rights to certain oil and gas leases located in Frio and Atascosa Counties, Texas, consisting of a total of 714 total acres of land, two (2) working wells and a total of seven (7) wells (the “Leases”).  The 40,000 shares were valued at Zheng’s historical cost totalling $160,000.  The transaction closed on June 12, 2015.
 
On June 11, 2015 the Company entered into various assignment agreements for the acquisition of multiple oil and gas leases and ORR’s as set out in the table below.  On July 6 and July 9, 2015 respectively the Company concluded Asset Purchase Agreements with respect to the aforementioned assignments whereunder the Company issued a total of 6,500 shares of its common stock to Mr. Zheng. The Company valued the transaction at the market price of the shares as at the date of issue, or $15 per share for a total value of $97,500.  The Company capitalized the historical cost of the acquired assets totaling $51,263 and recorded a loss on acquisition of $46,237.

NOTE 4– OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES (Continued)

During the period the Company completed various workovers and other improvements to certain of its existing wellbores, which amounts totaling $53,687 were capitalized under Proved Properties.  As at the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, a total of $53,587 was expensed as the Company has not yet determined when the wells will be brought online.  Further a total of $211,363 in proven and unproven oil and gas assets and ORR’s was fully impaired at March 31, 2016 following an evaluation by the Company’s management.

NOTE 5 – ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
 
The Company has asset retirement obligations for any wells that are permanently removed from service. The primary obligations involve the removal and disposal of surface equipment, plugging and abandoning the wells and site restoration. For the purpose of determining the fair value of ARO incurred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Company used the following assumptions.
 
Inflation Rate
3%
Estimated asset life
20 years
Credit adjusted risk free interest rate
18%

As at March 31, 2016, the Company determined to fully impair its shut in wells given a lack of production over a period in excess of two years, and the uncertainty in returning the wells to production in the future.  As a result, the Company has recorded a long term liability equal to the full value of the ARO.

The following table shows the change in the Company’s ARO during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016:

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not Applicable.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Management has employed a framework consistent with Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c), to evaluate internal control over financial reporting described below. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management, including our principal executive officer Mr. Huang Yu who is also our principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of and for the year ended March 31, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework (“COSO”). As a result of this assessment, Mr. Huang Yu concluded that, as of and for the year ended March 31, 2016, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as of the year ended March 31, 2016.

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management considered to be material weaknesses under COSO and SEC rules were: (1) lack of a majority of independent directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) limited number of staff, not allowing for complete segregation of incompatible duties; and (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company’s management in connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of March 31, 2016.

Management believes that the appointment of one or more independent directors, will remedy the lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company’s Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of IFRS and SEC disclosure requirements. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result in proper segregation of duties.
 
Any effort to increase the size of the Board of Directors, appoint independent directors or personnel is conditional upon the Company raising additional capital.
 
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
 
During the Company’s last fiscal quarter there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

A beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on August 18, 2016. As of August 18, 2016, there were 1,326,281 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Other than as described below, the Company has not engaged in any transactions with any of its related persons.

On April 3, 2015, a change in control of the Company occurred by virtue of Dmitri Kapsumun selling 900,000 shares (split adjusted) of the Company's common stock to Rise Fast Limited, a Hong Kong corporation.

As part of the sale of the shares, Rise Fast Limited arranged with the resigning member of the Company's Board of Directors, to appoint Mr. Huang Yu as the sole officer and director of the Company

On June 10, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Zheng Xiangwu, a resident of Guang Dong Province, China, whereby the Company issued 40,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for rights to certain oil and gas leases located in Frio and Atascosa Counties, Texas, consisting of a total of 714 total acres of land, two (2) working wells and a total of seven (7) wells (the “Leases”).

On June 12, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of the Leases pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. As a result of the completion of this acquisition, 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Mr. Zheng, who owns the Company’s largest shareholder, Rise Fast Limited. The number of shares issued to Mr. Zheng was determined by valuing the Leases at $160,000 and valuing the Company’s stock at $0.04 per share.
 
On June 11, 2015 the Company entered into various assignment agreements with Mr. Zheng for the acquisition of multiple oil and gas leases and overriding royalty interests (“ORR’s”). From July 6, 2015 through July 9, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of such oil and gas leases and ORR’s, whereby the Company issued a total of 6,500 shares of its common stock to Mr. Zheng. The Company valued the transaction at the market price of the shares as at the date of issue, or $0.15 per share for a total value of $97,500.  The Company capitalized the historical cost of the acquired assets totaling $51,263 and recorded a loss on acquisition of $46,237.

On June 12, 2015, the Company accepted a Subscription Agreement for the sale of up to 25,500 shares of its common stock from the Company’s majority shareholder, Rise Fast. No underwriters were utilized in connection with this sale of securities. The Subscription Agreement provides that the shares shall be sold as follows: (i) upon execution thereof, the purchase irrevocably agrees to purchase 10,000 at $15 per share; (ii) within sixty (60) days of the date of the Subscription Agreement, the purchaser has the right to purchase an additional 7,500 shares at the price of $20 per share; and (iii) within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date of the Subscription Agreement, the purchaser has the right to purchase an additional 8,000 shares at the price of $20 per share. On July 23, 2015, the Company approved the issuance of 10,000 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $150,000.  The shares were issued subsequent to the period covered by this report.

As a result of the above transactions, Mr. Zheng controls a total of 956,500 shares, which represents 72.12% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares.

On June 24, 2015 the Company approved a consulting contract with Mr. Joe Seabourn, a former member of the Company’s Board of Directors, for a monthly fee of $3,000, payable on the first of each month, commencing July 1, 2015.  During the period ended September 30, 2015 Mr. Seabourn was paid $9,000 under the terms of the contract.  Effective October 1, 2015 the Company entered into an amendment to the consulting agreement with Mr. Joe Seabourn.  Under the terms of the Amendment, Mr. Seabourn shall cease charging a monthly fee for services and accepted 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as consideration for services between October 2015 and June 30, 2016. On November 2, 2015, the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Joe Seabourn, which shares were valued at market price on the date of the transaction, totaling $30,600

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Company received a total of $110,000 in gross proceeds from its majority shareholder which amounts were payable on December 31, 2017 and bore interest at a rate of 5% per annum.  During the year a total of $55,980 was repaid to reduce the loan balance and subsequently a total of $54,020 in principal and $1,225 in accrued interest were converted into several 4% convertible notes with varying prices of conversion.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 the Company received advances totaling $108,433 from its majority shareholder in order to fund ongoing operations in the normal course.  The amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no specific terms of repayment.

On August 13, 2015 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Inceptus Resources, LLC whereunder the Company acquired a 78% net revenue interest in 200 acres located in Callahan County, Texas, and a 78% net revenue interest in 522 acres also located in Callahan County, Texas.  In respect of the acquired leases the Company issued a total of 5,000 shares of common stock on the closing date, August 19, 2015 which shares were valued at market price on the date of the transaction, totaling $448,500, which amount was capitalized.  As at September 30, 2015 the Company evaluated the capitalized value of the leases and determined to impair the amount in full due to the fact that the Company had no historical cost basis for the leases, and no immediate development plans for the lease land.  A total of $448,500 has been expensed as Impairment loss on oil and gas lease in the third quarter.
