PART 1

ITEM 1 – BUSINESS

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to “Core” “our” and “we” refer to Core Resource Management, Inc.

Overview

Core Resource Management, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed in order to maximize cash flow and shareholder value by acquiring current oil and gas production via suitable Working and Royalty Interests in North American oil and gas production and fund those acquisitions through a combination of common equity and convertible notes. The Company may also, from time to time, acquire positions in publicly traded oil and gas companies when management believes it can trade those positions for current production. Management is confident in its ability to identify and fund acquisition prospects that meet its investment criteria.

The Company currently trades on the OTCQB Markets system under the symbol CRMI, but management’s goal is to move the company’s shares to the NYSE-AMEX within 48 months or upon the successful completion of a registered secondary offering, whichever occurs first.

Core is led by a management team and Board with extensive experience in managing and financing public companies and an Advisory Board whose members are knowledgeable in public and private oil and gas acquisition, management and financing.  The Company has access to independent oil and gas producers who, from time to time and for a variety of different reasons, will seek to divest some or all of their producing property assets. The Company currently has eight employees and, as a non-operator of its acquired interests, intends to maintain minimal overhead for the foreseeable future. Management believes that by acquiring producing properties and partnering with professional operators, it can keep the Company’s employment to ten or fewer employees.

Strategy

The investment thesis underpinning the Company involves management’s belief that (1) although short-term our supply has caused price deterioration,  the long-term trends for global oil and gas demand are bullish as the economies of Asia, South America and the Middle East continue to develop, (2) the United States has the potential to become the world’s largest oil and gas producer by 2020, overtaking both Saudi Arabia and Russia, (3) the United States and the Eurozone are experiencing much higher inflation than government indices suggests and that the pace of that inflation will likely increase significantly, and (4) the United States is between 3 and 5 years away from experiencing many of the maladies currently affecting the Eurozone. The Company’s management believes that assembling a portfolio of proven and producing oil and gas Working Interests and Royalty Interests is an attractive investment opportunity, and a cash flow portfolio tied to producing oil and gas reserves is an attractive alternative to fixed income or commodities futures. With this in mind, management has chosen to focus initially on maximizing its cash flow through the acquisition of suitable Working and Royalty Interests in domestic oil and gas production. The Company may, from time to time, employ modest tactical leverage, but will always seek to deleverage whenever the equity markets are attractive (5) With depressed oil prices, CRMI is currently focused on tight cost management for marshalling the current assets as well as diligently shopping for value plays within some of the most highly sought after regions of Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma. Management believes many companies in this sector has employed over leverage and will need to dispense of assets at a discount to market. Acquiring such assets could ultimately bring value to shareholders and will increase overall portfolio value for Company of Proven Reserves and Proven Underdeveloped Reserves.

Oil and Natural Gas Reserves

The information below is derived from a reserve report prepared by Ramsey Property Management LLC (“Ramsey”).  Copies of the summary reserve report are attached as an Exhibit to this Annual Report.  Ramsey is a well-known petroleum engineering company with experience and knowledge in the oil and gas industry. We believe our controls around the reserve estimates are sufficient for estimates and reporting.
 
 
To determine our estimated proved reserves, and as required by the SEC, we used the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for the months of January 2014 through December 2014 calculated to be $6.31 per Mcf of natural gas and $91.09 per Bbl. of oil. These prices were held constant for the life of the properties and adjusted for the appropriate market differentials.
 
 
As of December 31, 2014, our proved crude oil and natural gas reserves are presented below by reserve category. All of our proved reserves are located within the United States.
 
   
Oil
(Bbl)
   
Natural Gas
(Mcf)
 
 Proved developed     151,451       63,237  
 Total proved     151,451       63,237  
 
Other Proved Developed Reserves

Based on January 31, 2014 Nitro reserve report provided by Ramsey, the Company’s proved developed non-producing reserves are:
 
   
Oil
(Bbl)
   
Natural Gas
(Mcf)
 
Proved developed non- producing     22,569       -  
Total proved developed non- producing     22,569       -  
 
The Company has proved undeveloped reserves but currently the Company has no engineering report to quantify the size of this reserve.

Net Production, Unit Prices and Costs
 
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we produced and sold 2,599 barrels of oil net to our interest at an average sale price of $81.72 per bbl and 453 Mcf of gas net to our interest at an average sale price of $2.36.  Our depletion expense was $127,193

Producing Wells

The following table sets forth the productive wells in which we owned an interest as of December 31, 2014. Productive wells consist of producing wells and wells capable of production, including wells awaiting pipeline connections or connection to production facilities. Wells that we complete in more than one producing horizon are counted as one well.
 
    Gross     Net  
 Oil     53       8  
 Natural gas     20       2  
 Total     73       10  
 
Oil and Gas Acreage
 
The following table sets forth our developed and undeveloped gross and net leasehold acreage as of December 31, 2014:
 
    Gross     Net  
Developed     2,120       575  
Proved developed non-producing     2,120       180  
Total     2,360       755  
 
Acquisitions
 
The Company completed a reverse triangular merger acquiring Nitro Petroleum, Inc. as of December 31, 2014. In addition, CRMI acquired certain well working interest by a Stock Consideration Purchase and Sale Agreement with Whitestone Resources Limited and Royal Petroleum as of December 31, 2014.

Our Corporate Information

Core Resource Management, Inc. incorporated in Nevada. Our principal executive offices are located at 3131 Camelback Road, Suite 211, Phoenix, Arizona 85016 and our primary telephone number is 602-314-3230. Our website address is www.coreresource.net. The information on, or that may be accessed through our website, is not incorporated by reference into this registration statement and should not be considered a part hereof.

Competition

The Company competes with major oil companies, numerous independents oil and gas producers, individual proprietors and investment companies of all types. Many of these competitors possess financial and personal resources substantially in excess of those which are available to the Company and the Company’s competitors may, therefore, be able to pay greater amounts for desirable oil and gas reserves than the Company’s own resources permit. The Company’s ability to generate revenue will depend on its ability to identify and acquire producing and proven oil and gas reserves and to manage its current assets in a cost effective way with vigilant oversight and risk management.

Compliance with Government Regulation

The availability of a ready market for future oil and gas production from possible U.S. assets depends upon numerous factors beyond our control. These factors may include, amongst others, regulation of oil and natural gas production, regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control, and the effects of regulation on the amount of oil and natural gas available for sale, the availability of adequate pipeline and other transportation and processing facilities and the marketing of competitive fuels. These regulations generally are intended to prevent waste of oil and natural gas and control contamination of the environment.
 
We expect that our sales of crude oil and other hydrocarbon liquids from our future U.S.-based production will not be regulated and will be made at market prices. However, the price we would receive from the sale of these products may be affected by the cost of transporting the products to market via pipeline.

Environmental Regulations

Our U.S. assets are subject to numerous laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit before drilling commences, restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling and production activities, limit or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas, require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former operations, such as pit closure and plugging abandoned wells, and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from production and drilling operations. Public interest in the protection of the environment has increased dramatically in recent years. The worldwide trend of more expansive and stricter environmental legislation and regulations applied to the oil and natural gas industry could continue, resulting in increased costs of doing business and consequently affecting profitability. To the extent laws are enacted or other governmental action is taken that restricts drilling or imposes more stringent and costly waste handling, disposal and cleanup requirements, our business and prospects could be adversely affected.

Employees

At December 31, 2014 we had eight full-time employees.  Some necessary services are performed by contracted parties.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Business Challenges

In operating our business, we will face significant challenges. Our revenues, profitability and future growth depend significantly on (1) continued access to the capital markets for acquisition capital, (2) our ability to identify and acquire suitable producing properties, and (3) depreciated natural gas and crude oil prices. Prices received affect the amount of future cash flow available for capital expenditures and repayment of indebtedness and our ability to raise additional capital. Lower prices may also affect the amount of natural gas and oil that can be economically extracted from the fields in which we have interests. In addition, among the risks and uncertainties that face our business are the following:
 
●  
The oil and gas industry is highly competitive in all aspects.
 
●  
The price of oil will fluctuate, thus effecting out underlying profitability either positively or negatively.
 
●  
Our ability to become profitable is highly dependent on the continued availability of financing.
 
●  
We anticipate undergoing a period of significant growth and our failure to manage that growth could have an adverse impact on our business.
 
●  
Market prices for oil and gas are highly volatile and a prolonged bear market for the commodity could impact our ability to service the debt component of our capital structure.
 
●  
We are dependent on our Directors, officers and advisors for identifying suitable acquisition prospects and continued access to the capital markets.
 
 ●  
We are subject to a number of Local, State and Federal Regulations, and failure to observe such regulations could have an adverse impact on the Company.
 
●  
The majority of our common stock is held by pre-merger shareholders and insiders.
 
●  
Conflicts of interest between the Company and its officers and directors may impede the operational ability of the Company.
 
●  
The Company intends to issue more shares in possible mergers and acquisitions, which will result in substantial dilution.
 
●  
Integration of Company Assets and Management after Mergers is an aspect that could have a negative effect on operations and Risk Management.

Risks Related to Our Business

We are a development stage company with minimal revenues from operations to use for operating expenses or acquisitions. In operating our business, we will face significant challenges. Our revenues, profitability and future growth depend significantly on; (1) continued access to the capital markets for acquisition capital (2) our ability to identify and acquire suitable producing properties, and (3) natural gas and crude oil prices. Prices received affect the amount of future cash flow available for capital expenditures and repayment of indebtedness and our ability to raise additional capital. Lower prices may also affect the amount of natural gas and oil that can be economically extracted from the fields in which we have interests.

We anticipate only a modest increase in our overhead expenses regardless of the timing and pace of acquisitions. However, prior to operating break even, overhead expenses will have an adverse effect on our shareholder’s equity and working capital, which is currently being funded by capital. The longer it takes to achieve break even, the greater the adverse impact on shareholder equity and working capital.

Short History of Operations or Revenues

Although organized in 1999, the Company has had no operating history prior to 2013, and has only begun to receive revenues or earnings from operations. Prior to commencement of acquisitions in the second quarter of this year, the Company’s assets consisted mainly of invested capital in the form of cash. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 the Company had generated revenues from operations of $261,858 and $81,084 respectively. The Company has sustained losses to date and will continue to incur expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until it begins to receive revenues associated with the oil and gas production interests it has begun acquiring sufficient to offset overhead.

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive.

The Company competes with major oil companies, numerous independents oil and gas producers, individual proprietors and investment companies of all types. Many of these competitors possess financial and personal resources substantially in excess of those which are available to the Company and the Company’s competitors may, therefore, be able to pay greater amounts for desirable oil and gas reserves than the Company’s own resources permit. The Company’s ability to generate revenue will depend on its ability to identify and acquire producing and proven oil and gas reserves and manage current assets.

Our ability to become profitable is highly dependent on the continued availability of financing.

We will require substantial capital resources to fund the acquisitions of producing reserves. Our ability to obtain adequate capital for our business model will depend on a variety of factors, including; (i) our ability to identify suitable acquisitions and the quality of those acquisitions, (ii) our ability to convey our value proposition to investors, (iii) our expertise in managing the acquired assets, (iv) our ability in managing the compliance and public reporting in an accurate and timely manner; and (v) our ability to properly Risk Manage those acquired assets.

We anticipate undergoing a period of significant growth and a loss of one of our key executives and/or our failure to manage that growth could harm our business.

We depend heavily on the services of Dennis W. Miller, our President, CFO Jeff Tregaskes, and Philip Nuciola, President of Capital Markets, to manage our business and raise the capital required to implement our strategy. The loss of one these individuals would have a serious adverse effect on our prospects.  Our anticipated growth will provide challenges to our organization and may challenge management, especially since our business plan involves an aggressive acquisition strategy, involving simultaneous activity on multiple production projects in multiple locations.

Market prices for oil and gas are highly volatile and a prolonged bear market for the commodity could impact our ability to service the debt component of our capital structure.

Depressed oil prices directly correlate to a decrease in gross revenue.  While oil prices are low, the ability to generate sufficient revenue from production to manage overhead costs will be in question.  It will be necessary to fund operations with other forms of funding including access to bank financing, capital markets, and direct investment.  If such sources become illiquid and commodity prices remain depressed, the likelihood of ceasing as a going concern would vastly increase.  In addition, we intend to utilize various types of leverage in order to complete acquisitions. Our ability to service the debt associated with that leverage is highly dependent on the cash flow associated with our acquired oil and gas production.  A sustained bear market for oil and gas prices would adversely impact our ability to service the debt component of the acquisition financing. Although we intend to use, what we believe is suitable leverage given foreseeable market conditions, there is no way to guarantee future commodity prices and it is clear that a sustained bear market could have a materially adverse impact on our business.
 
 
5

 
 
We are subject to a number of Local, State and Federal Regulations. Failure to observe such regulations could result in adverse consequences.

Although we do not anticipate becoming an operator/driller ourselves, the operations with respect to the oil and gas leases and wells in which we will hold interests are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to protection of natural resources and the environment, health and safety, waste management and transportation of waste and other materials. Liability under these laws and regulations could result in suspension of drilling activities, fines and penalties, expenditures for remediation, and liability for property damage and personal injuries. Sanctions for noncompliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations also may include assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, revocation of permits and issuance of corrective action orders.

Laws protecting the environment generally have become more stringent over time and are expected to continue to do so, which could lead to material increases in costs for future environmental compliance and remediation. The modification or interpretation of existing laws or regulations, or the adoption of new laws or regulation could severely limit or curtail exploratory or developmental drilling for oil and gas.

Some environmental laws and regulations may impose strict liability, which means that in some situations, Core could be exposed to liability as a result of the operator’s conduct that was lawful at the time it occurred or the conduct of, or conditions caused by, prior operators or other third parties. Clean up costs and other damages arising as a result of environmental laws and costs associated with changes in environmental laws and regulations could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.

In the ordinary course of our business, We collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our customers, suppliers and business partners, and personally identifiable information of our customers and employees, in our data centers and on our networks.

The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this information is critical to our operations and business strategy. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, and regulatory penalties, disrupt our operations, and damage our reputation, which could adversely affect our business/operating margins, revenues and competitive position. We maintain insurance coverage with Berkley Insurance Company, 475 Steamboat Road, Greenwich, CT 06830 but this insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of our losses from any future breaches of our systems.

Climate Change, Climate Change Regulations and Greenhouse Gas Effects May Adversely Impact our Operations and Markets.

There is growing concern from members of the scientific community and the general public that an increase in global average temperatures due to emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) and other human activities have or will cause significant changes in weather patterns and increase the frequency and severity of natural disasters. Climate change, including the impact of global warming, creates physical and financial risk. Physical risks from climate change include an increase in sea level and changes in weather conditions, such as an increase in changes in precipitation and extreme weather events. Climate change could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. We utilize oil fracking as a way to increase oil production.  Most recently there has been proposed legislation regarding such practices and some restrictive measures could be implemented in the future.  If such measures are approved, this could lead to a slight reduction in overall production of the Company’s current holdings.   While not anticipated, such regulations may have a reach back effect that could necessitate payments for any damages.  There have been other drilling and transportation regulatory discussions that could limit the ability to transport and drill for oil and gas within the current cost effective framework.

We may become subject to legislation and regulation regarding climate change, and compliance with any new rules could be difficult and costly. Concerned parties, such as legislators and regulators, shareholders and non-governmental organizations, as well as companies in many business sectors, are considering ways to reduce GHG emissions. Foreign, federal, state and local regulatory and legislative bodies have proposed various legislative and regulatory measures relating to climate change, regulating GHG emissions and energy policies. If such legislation is enacted, we could incur increased energy, environmental and other costs and capital expenditures to comply with the limitations. Due to the uncertainty in the regulatory and legislative processes, as well as the scope of such requirements and initiatives, we cannot currently determine the effect such legislation and regulation may have on our operations.

We could face increased costs related to defending and resolving legal claims and other litigation related to climate change and the alleged impact of our operations on climate change.
 
Related to Reduction in Demand Due to Competition from Alternative Fuel Sources and Technological Advances
 
Fuel competes with other sources of energy, some of which are less costly on an equivalent energy basis. There are significant governmental incentives and consumer pressures to increase the use of alternative fuels in the US and abroad. A number of automotive, industrial and power generation manufacturers are developing more fuel efficient engines, hybrid engines and alternative clean power systems using fuel cells or clean burning gaseous fuels. The more successful these alternatives become as a result of governmental incentives or regulations, technological advances, consumer demand, improved pricing or otherwise, the greater the potential negative impact on pricing and demand for our products and services and accordingly, our profitability. In addition, federal, state, local and/or foreign governments may enact legislation or regulations that attempt to control or limit greenhouse gas (GHG) such as carbon dioxide. Such laws or regulations could impose costs tied to carbon emissions, operational requirements or restrictions, or additional charges to fund energy efficiency activities. They could also provide a cost advantage to alternative energy sources, result in other costs or requirements, such as costs associated with the adoption of new infrastructure and technology to respond to new mandates, or impose costs or restrictions on end users of fuel. For example, some of our customers in the transportation industry may be required to purchase allowances or offsets or incur other costs to comply with existing or future requirements relating to GHG. Finally, the focus on climate change could also negatively impact the reputation of fuel products or services such as those we offer. The occurrence of any of the foregoing events could put upward pressure on the cost of fuel relative to other energy sources, increase our costs and the prices we charge our customers, reduce the demand for our products, and therefore adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Technological advances and alternative fuel sources, such as electric, hybrid or battery powered motor vehicles, may adversely affect the demand for gasoline. We could face additional competition from alternative energy sources as a result of future government-mandated controls or regulations which promote the use of alternative fuel sources. A reduction in demand for our gasoline products could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations. In addition, higher prices could reduce the demand for gasoline and adversely impact our gasoline sales. A reduction in gasoline sales could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Increased conservation and technological advances have adversely affected the demand for home heating oil and residual oil. Consumption of residual oil has steadily declined over the last three decades. We could face additional competition from alternative energy sources as a result of future government-mandated controls or regulation further promoting the use of cleaner fuels. End users who are dual-fuel users have the ability to switch between residual oil and natural gas. Other end users may elect to convert to natural gas. During a period of increasing residual oil prices relative to the prices of natural gas, dual-fuel customers may switch and other end users may convert to natural gas. During periods of increasing home heating oil prices relative to the price of natural gas, residential users of home heating oil may also convert to natural gas. Such switching or conversion could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Other factors that may affect the demand for oil, gas and petrochemicals, and therefore impact our results, include technological improvements in energy efficiency; seasonal weather patterns, which affect the demand for energy associated with heating and cooling; increased competitiveness of alternative energy sources that have so far generally not been competitive with oil and gas without the benefit of government subsidies or mandates; and changes in technology or consumer preferences that alter fuel choices, such as toward alternative fueled vehicles.

Some of our competitors may have larger financial and other resources than ours. Competitive conditions may be affected by future legislation and regulations as the US develops new energy and climate-related policies. In addition, some of our competitors may have a competitive advantage when responding to factors that affect demand for oil and natural gas production, such as changing prices, domestic and foreign political conditions, weather conditions, the price and availability of alternative fuels, the proximity and capacity of natural gas pipelines and other transportation facilities, and overall economic conditions. We also face indirect competition from alternative energy sources, including wind, solar and electric power. We believe that our technological expertise, our exploration, land, drilling and production capabilities and the experience of our management generally enable us to compete effectively.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

The Company has issued more shares in a merger or acquisition, which has resulted in dilution.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 100,000,000 shares of common stock. Any merger or acquisition effected by us may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Moreover, the common stock issued in any such merger or acquisition transaction may be valued on an arbitrary or non-arm’s-length basis by our management, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Our Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval. To the extent that additional shares of common stock or preferred stock are issued in connection with a business combination or otherwise, dilution to the interests of our stockholders will occur and the rights of the holders of common stock might be materially adversely affected. During this reporting period, the Board of Directors have authorized and issued shares to acquire publically traded Nitro Petroleum, Inc. (OTCQB: NTRO) as well as various well working interests from Whitestone Resource Management Limited and Royal Petroleum, LLC. Nitro Petroleum was successfully acquired on December 17, 2014 and Whitestone Resource Management Limited and Royal Petroleum, LLC effective November 1, 2014. Issuance for both acquisitions was 2,007,737 shares of CRMI common stock.

Our existing shareholders and insiders have substantial control over us and could limit and influence the outcome of key transactions, including changes of control.

Our current shareholders, if acting together, would be able to control or influence significantly all matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the election of our directors and the approval of mergers or other significant corporate transactions. The concentration of ownership of our common stock may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change of control of our Company, could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of our company and may affect the market price of our common stock. This significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock due to investor perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise.  Further due to the lack of trading volume, and stock transaction will have a more pronounced effect on the market trend of our stock.

Our common stock has not been widely traded and the price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially.

Prior to this registration, there has been a limited public market for shares of our common stock, with limited trading relating to the common stock referred to as the “public float”. An active public trading market may not develop following the effective date of this registration statement or, if developed, may not be sustained. The market price of our common stock following this registration, and any possible subsequent listing on the NYSE-AMEX or other securities exchange, if and when we are successful in doing so, will be affected by a number of factors, including those discussed above.

BOD pricing of common stock could be heavily effected by small volume selling

Due to the fact CRMI stock is thinly traded, small amounts of selling volume could significantly affect the market price in a negative trend. Further if volumes of trading in Company were to increase the thinly traded nature will increase volatility as volume increases.

Future sales of our common stock by existing shareholders could cause our stock price to decline.

If our existing shareholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could decrease significantly. The perception in the public market that our shareholders might sell shares of our common stock could also depress the market price of our common stock.

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on our earnings, financial condition, opportunities to invest in the growth of our business and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our Board of Directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on investment will occur only if our stock price increases.

Risks Relating to the Financial Markets

We are highly dependent on access to capital to fund acquisitions.

We will rely on access to the credit and capital markets to finance our acquisitions. Access to these markets may be adversely affected by factors beyond our control, including volatility in securities trading markets, turmoil in the financial services industry and general economic conditions.

Market disruptions such as those experienced in the United States in 2007 and 2008 may adversely affect our ability to access sources of liquidity upon which we will rely to finance acquisitions and satisfy obligations as they become due. These disruptions may include unprecedented volatility in the markets where our securities propose to trade following completion of this registration statement, including substantial uncertainty surrounding lending institutions with which we may do business. In addition, if we are unable to access capital at competitive rates, our collective ability to finance our acquisitions and implement our business strategy could be adversely affected.

Without such access to capital markets, the Company would be directly reliant on direct investment.  If such sources become illiquid or unwilling to finance operations, the going concern of the business would be in serious question.

Summary

With depressed commodity prices and oversupply of oil, the ability to remain a going concern will rely heavily on our access to the Capital markets and direct investment.  We believe the best approach is to cut costs at every opportunity, diligently manage assets with quantitative analytical evaluation in order to determine the viability to keep wells open or to cap them until commodity prices rebound.  Further, we believe alternative funding sources through direct investment are important to reach a higher degree of success. If we are able to maintain operations at the current rate it is our strong belief that there will be many opportunities to purchase severely distressed assets in the market place.

While we believe the mergers and acquisitions of assets obtained last year were in the best interest of the Company, the immediate decrease in oil prices after these acquisitions caused challenges to the integration of the Companies.  Yet, we believe the purchase price of such assets were at a value that will create a large long term benefit to shareholders.  If we are able to maintain operations at the current rate these assets will produce a windfall to investors.  Additionally, if Company viability becomes weakened, the assets will provide some protection for debt service and increase liquidation value.  Overall, adding these assets was a necessary step towards Company profitability.

We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our shareholders. There may be events in the future, however, that we are unable to predict accurately or which we have no control. The risk factors listed above, as well as any cautionary language in this registration statement, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. The occurrence of the events described in the previous risk factors and elsewhere in this registration statement could negatively impact our business, cash flows, and results of operations, prospects, financial condition and stock price.  We welcome any further inquiries as to the state of our operations at any time, and will continue to file timely updates and make meaningful disclosers at the end of each quarter.

On February 20, 2013, the Company received a letter from the Staff of the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance as part of its review of the Company's Form-10 filed on July 25, 2013, to register the Company's common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company responded to the letter with the filing of an amendment to the Form-10 on October 29, 2013.

On November 6, 2013, the Company received a letter from the Staff of the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance as part of its review of the Company's October Form-10 filing.  The Staff provided comments on various matter involving oil and gas reserve disclosures, executive compensation and various general disclosure related item.

In November the Company had several correspondences with the Commission in order to appropriately answer these outstanding comments.  The Commission sited this response as a prerequisite in order to approve the merger transaction between Core and Nitro Petroleum.  On December 17, 2014, the commission was satisfied as to the response given and approved the filing of the informational statement that allowed the merger to be consummated.

After the merger was complete, Nitro Petroleum, Inc. was asked by the Commission to provide further details regarding its past accounting disclosures. The response from Nitro was sufficient to resolve the Commission’s comments.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Presently, there are six materials pending or recently adjudicated legal proceedings to which the Registrant is a party.  No other such proceedings are known to the Registrant to be threatened or contemplated against it.

Nitro Petroleum, Inc., v. Jean Robinson, Philip Don Robinson, Jr., OKTEX Oil, LLC, and OKTEX Operating, LLC.

On or about June 19, 2014 a legal action was brought by Nitro Petroleum against Jean Robinson.  Case No. CJ-2014-3499 in the District Court of Oklahoma County, styled Nitro Petroleum, Inc., v. Jean Robinson, Phillip Don Robinson, Jr., OKTEX Oil, LLC, and OKTEX Operating, LLC. This case was a fraudulent transfer action which was brought to partially recover the judgment which we obtained in favor of Nitro and was an extension of Case No. CJ-2013-20 in the District Court of Garvin County, Oklahoma. An agreed judgment was entered in Case No. CJ-2014-3499 which determined that the property known by the street address of 2700 N. Shadynook Way had been fraudulently transferred by the judgment debtor OKTEX Operating, LLC, to the owner’s mother, Jean Robinson, without consideration.  As part of a settlement agreement, the judgment debtor agreed to quitclaim the property known as 2700 N. Shadynook Way in exchange for partial satisfaction of the underlying judgment in the amount of $30,000.00.  

Mills Well Service, Inc. vs. Core Resource Management, Inc. and Nitro Petroleum, Inc.

On or about May 27, 2015, a legal action was brought by Mills Well Service, Inc. against Core Resource Management, Inc. and Nitro Petroleum, Inc. Mills Well Service, Inc. vs. Core Resource Management, Inc. and Nitro Petroleum, Inc. Case No. CJ-15-68 in the amount of $29,409.80 for services rendered plus attorney’s fees. Core is disputing such charges, due to the fact services were performed before the merger with Nitro was contemplated, and such accounts payable were never disclosed.  Core questions the validity of such invoiced amounts as it had no pre-merger record of some of the services invoiced.  Management estimates the total potential loss of such litigation to be approximately $35,000, and expects a settlement to be expedited.  Core’s management asserted as an affirmative defense that some such billable amounts did not relate to the assets acquired per merger and further that services were performed pre-merger (Merger agreement sets out that such pre-merger expenses not agreed to by Core Management are not the responsibility of Core and not disclosed as required within the Merger Agreement.

Kay Production Company vs. Core Resource Management, Inc., Core Resource Management Holding Company, Inc. and Nitro Petroleum, Inc.

On or about May 22, 2015, a legal action was brought by Kay Production Company against Core Resource Management, Inc., Core Resource Management Holding Company, Inc. and Nitro Petroleum, Inc. in the District Court for Seminole County, Oklahoma in the amount of $14,709 for services performed pre-merger for benefit of Nitro Petroleum, Inc. and some of its various subsidiaries not part of the merger agreement with Core.  Kay Production Company vs. Core Resource Management, Inc., Core Resource Management Holding Company, Inc. and Nitro Petroleum, Inc. CJ-2015-56.  Core’s management asserted some such billable amounts did not relate to the assets acquired per merger and further that services were performed pre-merger (Merger agreement sets out that such pre-merger expenses not agreed to by Core Management are not the responsibility of Core and not disclosed as required within the Merger Agreement.  On May 8, 2014, Core agreed to a settlement with plaintiff to pay Thirty Two Thousand Twenty Five Dollars and Seventy Five Cents ($32,025.75) over six months in order to fully pay and Management believes the potential costs of settlement and legal costs to be approximately Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000) including legal and filing fees.

Leroy 2000, LLC, v. Nitro Petroleum, Inc.

On or about October 3, 2014, a legal action was levied against Nitro Petroleum, Inc. in the District Court of Stephens County, Oklahoma.  Styled Leroy 2000, LLC., v. Nitro Petroleum, Inc., Case No. CV-2014-70R, in the District Court of Stephens County, Oklahoma.  This case is for an alleged failure by Nitro (pre-merger with Core) to timely pay royalties in the amount of approximately $69.55.  In addition, the plaintiff asserted claims for violation of the Production Revenue Services Act, the Plaintiff asserted claims for lease cancellation due to the alleged failure to timely pay royalties.  The plaintiff has agreed since to settle the case for $1,958.71 inclusive of Plaintiff’s costs and attorney fees.  Currently, Core has agreed to settle for the above amount. This non-payment allegation was for time the pre-dated the merger between Core and Nitro.  However, management feels such payment amount will outweigh any further litigation cost between parties and has agreed to pay $1,958.71 to settle all claims.

Marc J. Olivieri vs. Clarkscott, LLC, James D. Clark and Jane Doe Clark, Core Resource Management, Inc. f/l/a Direct Pet Health Holdings, Inc.; ABC Corporation 1-V; and John Does 1-X

On or about May 15, 2014 a legal action was levied against Company in the Superior Court of Arizona in and for the County of Maricopa. The claim is styled as Marc J. Olivieri  vs. ClarkScott, LLC, James D. Clark and Jane Doe Clark, Core Resource Management, Inc. f/l/a Direct Pet Health Holdings, Inc.; ABC Corporation 1-V; and John Does 1-X. (No. CV2014-05854).  Defendant alleges breach of contract relating to an employment agreement.  Company has answered the complaint on July 18, 2014 and has denied the allegations set forth.  As per, Accounting Standards Codification 450, Management can not specifically derive potential loss amount.  However in order to provide guidance as per evaluation of estimated litigation loss contingency (dependent on an adverse ruling), Management estimates a range of possible loss range to be between $30,000 and $70,000.  Such range is made only in attempts to provide reporting guidance.  Management plans to vigorously defend alleged claims which it considers to not have merit.  During the past quarter, no further fillings that would be considered favorable or unfavorable to the Company have been made. While management views this as positive, this cannot be declared with certainty.

Brown Glenn Legal Activity

On or about August 21, 2013, W. Brown Glenn, Jr., the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company wired $460,000 of the Company’s funds to a law firm in Minnesota to settle a judgement which had been entered against Pegasus in a matter completely unrelated to the Company.  In his instructions to the Company’s bank, Mr. Brown indicated the wire was for a transaction with Nacona Production Company and caused the Company to file its Form 10-K reflecting that the wire was a deposit against a pending asset acquisition, all of which was not true.  The Company has been aggressively pursuing its claims against Pegasus and its members including, Mr. Brown. The Company has settled its claims against Pegasus and all its members except Mr. Brown. The Company is currently in settlement discussions with Mr. Brown, but should such discussions not result in a satisfactory settlement, the Company intends to aggressively pursue all of its legal remedies against Mr. Brown. On September 15, 2014, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Pegasus and its members except Mr. Brown, the principle terms of which include forgiveness by Pegasus of the balance of the promissory note ($100,000 amount due as of September 30, 2014), surrender of 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company, and placement of a lockup on most of the remaining shares of the Company’s common stock owed Pegasus and the other settling parties. Neither Pegasus nor any of its members, including Mr. Brown, has any further relationship with the Company in any form.

James Clark Settlement Agreement

In his role of CEO, James Clark pursued a deal in Crockett County Texas on behalf of the Company.  Due diligence was done to determine the viability of the deal.  After such diligence was performed, Clark Presented the Board of Directors with his findings. The Board decided after deliberation to pass on the opportunity.  Clark vehemently opposed the decision, at which point Clark began to determine potential options outside of the Company to consummate the deal.  After Clark found suitors, he formed his own Company and began to work on the deal.  Clark resigned as CEO and Director of Core.  After his resignation, Clark and Core determined that Clark should repatriate the funds used for the initial due diligence.  As such, Clark and Core came to a mutual settlement agreement on March 28, 2015 in which Clark agrees to pay Core $59,567 over a six month period and assist Core with outstanding matter that he worked on during his tenure in exchange for release of any conflict of interest action and allowing him to continue pursuit of other oil and gas deal including the above mentioned Crockett County transaction as long as full payment is made according to the terms of the settlement agreement.

In the event such payments are not made, the settlement agreement calls for such settlement terms to be void and reopens the possibility for legal action against Clark, his companies, or subsidiaries.

ITEM 7 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company is engaged in the acquisition of existing oil and gas production and properties from established oil and gas operators and may, from time to time, acquire positions in smaller publicly traded exploration and production companies and funding the acquisitions via a combination of common equity and senior notes. The Company does not currently engage in direct exploration but will acquire positions of up to 50% in current oil and gas production from established operators, seeking from time to time, to sell a percentage of their existing production in order to recycle their capital into new leases and wells.  Management believes it can maximize value for its shareholders while also negotiating fair and reasonable valuations for its acquisitions.

We are continuing our efforts to identify and assess investment opportunities in oil and natural gas properties, utilizing our directors and stockholders until such time as funding is sourced from the capital markets.  It is anticipated that additional funding from those sources for the next twelve months will be required to maintain the Company.  We have raised certain funds through private placements of our equity securities, and attempts are ongoing to raise additional funds through private placements, and said attempts will continue throughout 2014. We may also use various debt instruments to raise needed capital during 2014.  We have also entered into an exclusive placement agreement with Casimir Capital whereby Casimir will raise up to Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) for the Company through a combination of debt and equity.

As oil and gas properties become available and appear attractive to our management, funds, when and if they become available, will be spent on due diligence and research to determine if said prospects could be purchased to provide income for the Company.  Established oil companies continue to strive to reduce costs and debt.  This causes significant market opportunities for us to possibly position ourselves with sellers that wish to divest themselves of production in order to provide liquidity.  Our management believes that current market conditions are creating situations that could result in the opportunity for such production acquisitions.

Our operating expenses may increase as we undertake our plan of operations.  The increase will be attributable to the additional cost of operations associated with management of new assets, raising additional capital, sourcing acquisitions, road show expenses and continued professional fees that will be incurred.

With depressed oil prices, CRMI is currently focused on tight cost management for marshalling the current assets as well as diligently shopping for value plays within some of the most highly sought after regions of Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma. Management believes many companies in this sector has employed over leverage and will need to dispense of assets at a discount to market. Acquiring such assets could ultimately bring value to shareholders and will increase overall portfolio value for Company of Proven Reserves and Proven Underdeveloped Reserves.

 
15

 
 
The state of decreased commodity prices present decreasing revenue issues, yet also present new opportunities for acquisition. If company is able to keep costs low and have continued access to capital markets, management feels the opportunity for growth is prevalent. In the event decreased revenue is met with limited capital access, management believes the company may need restructure or liquidate sum of its current holdings.

Alternatively, depressed oil prices may call for advanced hedging techniques or derivative investments.  If management views the oil prices to be at such a rate in which the bottom of our pricing model is in range, the Company may turn to the Capital markets to exasperate future growth.

Finally, if such depressed pricing reaches a level in which all Capital financing is unavailable, our recent acquisition of discounted assets will allow for the opportunity to gain necessary liquidity through sale or divestiture.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Revenues

The Company’s business plan is to maximize cash flow and shareholder value by acquiring current oil and gas production via suitable Working Interests and Royalty Interests in North American oil and gas production and fund those acquisitions through a combination of common equity and senior notes. The Company may also, from time to time, acquire positions in publicly traded oil and gas companies when management believes it can trade those positions for current production. The Company made acquisitions during the second quarter of this year and has completed acquisitions in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas having acquired working or royalty interests in 17 producing well, 9 non-operated wells, 7 inactive or non-producing wells, and 4 saltwater disposal wells.

Oil and gas production
Revenue from oil and gas production from purchased interests commenced during the year and was $207,038 for year ended December 31, 2014 in comparison to $101,208 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The comparable period in 2012 was in the start-up phase and did not have revenue.   Because new assets have been added to Company portfolio in 2014, it is anticipated that a significant spike in revenue will occur during the 2015 fiscal year.

Interest and dividend income
Interest income from investments and cash held was $37,811 for the year ended December 31, 2014 in comparison to $10,502 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Realized and unrealized loss on investment in equity securities
The company had a realized and unrealized gain of $17,009 for the year ended December 31, 2014 in comparison to a loss of $42,705 for the year ended December 31, 2014. This variance is related to the investment in Nitro Petroleum shares.

Other income
In 2013, one of the shareholders forgave $12,079 of the outstanding balances for the funds advanced to the Company.

Net operating loss
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $5.2 million and $2.4 million respectively, remaining for federal income tax purposes.  Net operating loss carry forwards may be used in future years to offset taxable income.  The federal net operating loss carry forwards will expire in 2032 through 2034.  Currently all of the tax years filing is subject to examination.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $5,130,089 of which $2,638,729 represented general and administration expense, $56,583 represented depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, $2,150,451 represented debt inducement expense, and $284,326 represented interest expense. Our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $2,085,592 of which $81,223 represented organizational and registration expenses, $1,403,481 represented general and administration expense, $148,069 represented depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense and $452,819 represented interest expense.  The increase in operating expenses was directly related to the Merger and Acquisition activity that took place within 2014.  Management believes that this expense increase will directly correlate to shareholder value in the event such assets produce as expected.

 
16

 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had a cash balance of $101,858 and $210,321 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We have continued to fund our operating expenses through the issuance of equity investments and convertible notes, and receivables from producing wells. As of the date of this disclosure statement, in excess of $1.8 million in new capital has been raised, consisting of a combination of common equity and convertible notes.  The Company currently has eight employees and intends to maintain minimal overhead until such time as its monthly cash flows from acquired production exceeds $200,000. Management believes that by acquiring producing properties and partnering with professional operators, it can keep the Company’s headcount to ten or fewer employees. The ability to maintain adequate Liquidity will depend on diligent management of current assets, continued access to current capital sources, and legal pursuit of liabilities owed to the Company.

Going Concern

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any acquisitions and exploration activities.  For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.

At December 31, 2014, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management’s plan to address the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern includes: (1) obtaining debt or equity funding from private placement or institutional sources; (2) obtain continued debt financing from current sources or financial institutions, where possible, or (3) participating in joint venture transactions with third parties. (4) Continued access to venture capital and investment banking partners.  (5)_ Legal recovery of outstanding receivables management feels the Company is owed.  (6) Vigilant management of current assets by cost effective means and expanded risk-loss provisions to make certain operations derive substantial and full value receipt of revenues.  Although management believes that it will be able to obtain the necessary funding to allow the Company to remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Future Capital Requirements

The Company has no commitments for material capital expenditures beyond installing its accounting system, which has already been contracted and paid.  Management believes that with continued commitments the Company has adequate liquidity to fund its operations at current levels through year-end 2015.

We expect to continue to rely on sales of our common shares, capital commitments, and securities convertible into our common shares, in order to continue to fund our business operations.  Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders.  Convertible debentures may continue to be employed in order to provide capital to acquire more assets.  There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of such securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.

In addition, Company intends to continue to pursue additional joint ventures and acquisitions using authorized Company shares to increase revenue producing assets.  Management believes the depressed commodity prices will provide further opportunity for such acquisitions to be made, but will also reduce or keep revenues stable.

On February 21, 2014 we entered into an exclusive agreement with Casimir Capital LP (“Casimir”) to raise up to $50,000,000 through a combination of debt and equity. The exclusive agreement is for one year and is on a best efforts basis. Casimir is a full service natural resource investment bank headquartered in New York with offices, affiliates and personnel in Toronto, Ontario, Calgary, Alberta, Melbourne, Australia and Sao Paulo, Brazil.

KBM Worldwide Note

Management believes the retirement of the KBM note in 2015 will significantly benefit Core in the following ways.  The KBM note carried with it certain rights that allowed KBM free trading shares of CRMI available in 2015.  With such rights, KBM would have received a block of Company shares which could be sold and cause a decrease in Company share price.  In addition, the Note held a high amount of serviceable interest and a payment penalty that would have been due.  By retiring the Note in 2015 via settlement agreement and release, Core was able to repay the existing debt of $104,000 and remove the liability without the high cost of note service in full satisfaction in 2015.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Disclosure and Reconciliation
 
The information below references non-GAAP financial measures that we use in order to track the progress of our business. These measures include core net loss, core net loss per diluted share and EBITDA from continuing operations (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization).  We believe these measures provide helpful information with respect to the Company’s operating performance and cash flows.  We believe that the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures are important to assist investors in comparing year ended 2014 to 2013, on a comparable basis.  These non-GAAP measures illustrate earnings without factoring in one-time costs (in this case a debt conversion expense that was realized by converting a debenture holder’s debt to equity).  We believe this one-time cost was a prudent move, creating less carry for periods going forward.  Yet, GAAP measurements call for this conversion to be shown as a significant loss.  In addition, we use EBITDA because it: (i) measures performance over the periods in which executives can have significant impact, (ii) is directly linked to our annual incentive plan and long-term growth plan, and (iii) is a key metric used by management and the Board to assess our operating performance. However, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and should not be considered superior to or as a substitute for net loss, net loss per diluted share or cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP. This additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the numbers prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other financial institutions.

ITEM 8. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, including our President and interim Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, our management, including our President and interim CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable assurance level, as of the Evaluation Date, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under that Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and interim CFO, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in rule 13a-15(f) o the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

●  
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
 
●  
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
 
●  
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitation, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the President and interim CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. In making this assessment, the Company used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the President and interim CFO, concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective in that there was a material weakness as of December 31, 2014.

A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls.

The Company’s management has identified a material weakness in the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting related to a shortage of resources in the accounting department required to assure appropriate segregation of duties with employees having appropriate accounting qualifications related to the Company’s unique industry accounting and disclosure rules.
 
Management has outsourced certain financial functions to mitigate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the Company intends to improve upon its closing procedures and financial reporting routine to identify and account for transactions that may be material to the interim or annual financial statements on a timely basis.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our 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 the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, wherein non-accelerated filers are exempt from Sarbanes-Oxley internal control audit requirements.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has initiated and continues to monitor its disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to insure that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports that it files or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principle executive and principle financial officer (referred to in this report as the Certifying Officer) , as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act. Our certifying Officer concluding these controls are effective.

The Company has created an advanced records system that will allow for increased precision and oversight of its corporate governance method implementation. Adopting general market guidance from Securities and Exchange Commission statement, Company management feels this use of technology will provide even greater oversight and reporting of major decisions; focusing on key indicators of operation results, as well as any nonperformance indicators, that will allow investors to better understand and evaluate the Company.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The Company had added new internal control mechanisms to create heightened oversight over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2014. An internal intra-net link was added to enable key management and Companies audit committee to better analyze financial policy, potential conflicts, and projected expenditures regarding Company financials. Also, during this time Alexander Campbell, Company Director, was added as a member of the Audit committee. While management believes this added risk management measures have not yet materially affected financial reporting, it is reasonably likely to allow for greater risk oversight and management of financial issues, and thus tightened the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention and overriding of controls and procedures. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error fraud may occur and not be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur due to human error or mistake. Additionally, controls, no matter how well designed, could be circumvented by the individual acts of specific persons within the organization. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all potential future conditions.

Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties and accounting personnel with appropriate qualifications at the Company due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. This constitutes a deficiency in the internal controls. Management has decided that considering the employees involved, the control procedures in place, and the outsourcing of certain financial functions, the risks associated with such lack of segregation were low and the potential benefits of adding additional employees to clearly segregate duties did not justify the expenses associated with such increases. Management periodically reevaluates this situation beyond that position and the company added and staffed an internal controller position to assist with company financial accounting and disclosure. In light of the Company’s current cash flow situation, the Company does not intend to increase staffing to mitigate the current lack of segregation of duties within the general administrative and financial functions. However, when the cash flow situation improves, the Company intends to increase personnel with appropriate accounting qualifications to mitigate the current lack of segregation of duties within the general administrative and financial functions.

REPORT OF ROBERT ADAMS, C.P.A, INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM


To:  The Board of Directors of Core Resource Management, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Core Resources Management Inc. which comprise the consolidated statements of assets, liabilities and equity as of December, 2014 and the related consolidated statements of revenue, expenses and retained earnings, and cash flows for the period indicated and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.   This represents the first year of us auditing your statements.  We have relied on prior years of audited statements and present no conclusion therein upon them.
 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
 
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of as of December 31, 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

Core Resource Management, Inc. (formerly known as Direct Pet Health Holdings, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada as Apex Sports.com, Inc. on February 17, 1999, as a Development Stage Company. The Company was renamed to Quad X Sports.com, Inc. in March 1999. The Company’s business strategy was to make acquisitions within the extreme sports industry. The Company was unable to make any acquisitions, ceasing operations in 2000. The Company was renamed to Bethel Holdings in August 2001.  The business strategy involved seeking attractive business combinations. No operations commenced or acquisitions completed during this time. The Company was renamed to Direct Pet Health Holdings, Inc. in June 2006. The Company’s strategy was to seek combinations in online pet health products. The Company has an authorized capital of 100,000,000 commons shares with a par value of $0.0001. The Company’s year-end is December 31.

The Company per Plan of Merger dated September 20, 2012 deemed it advisable that Clark Scott LLC, Inc. (“Clark Scott”) be merged into Direct Pet Health Holdings, Inc. Clark Scott was the surviving Corporation and subsequent to merger was renamed to “Core Resource Management, Inc.”. The Company filed the appropriate state filings with the State of Nevada on September 20, 2012.

The Company will engage in the acquisition of existing oil and gas production in partnership with established oil and gas operators in Texas and the Southwest. The Company itself will not engage in exploration but will acquire positions of up to 50% in current oil & gas production from well-established operators, seeking from time to time, to sell a percentage of their existing production in order to recycle their capital into new leases and wells. Management believes it can maximize value for its shareholders while also negotiating fair and reasonable valuations for its drilling partners.

On December 18, 2014 the Company completed acquisition of Nitro Petroleum, Inc. (“Nitro”) through the merger of Core Resource Holding Co., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with and into Nitro, with Nitro surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. With the addition of Nitro Petroleum, Inc., the Company has become an oil and gas manager in addition to the current structured finance and commodity derivative business.

On November 1, 2014 the Company acquired various well interests from Whitestone Resource Management Limited (“Whitestone”) and Royal Petroleum, LLC (“Royal”). These wells were added to the Company portfolio before the end of year 2014.
 
NOTE 2: BASIS OF PREPARATION
 
The accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2014 include all transactions occurring during the period from the Company’s incorporation to its fiscal year end.  These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

The accompanying financial statements include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. This includes all normal and recurring adjustments. References to GAAP are done using the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC” or “Codification”) 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105”).

CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries Core Resource Management Holding, Inc., Core Chiltepin Holdings, Inc., and Nitro Petroleum, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 3:  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or operating results. The Company will monitor these emerging issues to assess any potential future impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4: GOING CONCERN
 
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company's significant operating losses and a continued decline in asset values could raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern in subsequent periods. Inherent in the Company's business are various risks and uncertainties, including its limited operating history, historical operating losses, dependence upon strategic alliances, and the historical success rate of oil and gas exploration as well as oil and gas prices. Management's plan is not to engage in exploration, but to acquire interests in current oil & gas Companies with production from well-established operators. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. If unable to acquire Capital market investments, or structure financing, Management intends to finance operations by initially funding any company related expenses internally on an as-needed basis.  Furthermore, the settlement of assumed liabilities as a result of the acquisition and the required impairments of assets as the result of oil and gas prices declines would affect the solvency and continuation of the Company as a going concern.

NOTE 5: ACQUISITIONS & DIVESTURES
 
On December 18, 2014 the Company completed acquisition of Nitro and other certain other minority well interest through the merger of Core Resource Holding Co., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with and into Nitro, with Nitro surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and each outstanding share of common stock of NITRO will be converted into the right to receive .0952 shares of common stock of Core, plus cash in lieu of any fractional shares. The total shares issued by the Company to Nitro shareholders were 707,737 shares.
 
The transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires that, among other things, assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company has not finalized the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and, therefore, the provisional amounts set forth are subject to adjustment when the valuations are completed.

NOTE 6: NOTES PAYABLES
 
The company maintains certain convertible notes payable.  These notes have a beneficial conversion feature which recognizes added cost of the debt issuance as a result of potential conversion.
 
7% convertible notes
 
The Company raised $3,778,000 in senior convertible debentures (“The Note”) that matures in 2017 and 2018. The Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial conversion price of $3.00 per share. The Note accrues interest at a rate of 7.0% per annum, compounded quarterly, to be paid on each April 15, July 15, October 15, and January 15.
 
During April 2014, the Company issued conversion-subscription rights offering to the note holders for a short period. The offering modifies the conversion price from $3.00 per share to $2.00 per share. During this time period, holders of an aggregate of $3,033,000 in principal of the notes exercised their rights and the Company issued an aggregate of 1,543,529 shares of common stock to the note holders for the conversion of $3,033,000 of principal to common stock. After conversion, $745,000 of the principal amount of the convertible note remained outstanding. In connection with the modification and conversion of the Notes, the Company recorded a debt conversion inducement expense of $2,140,458, reflecting the cost of reducing the conversion price from $3.00 to $2.00 per share.

8% convertible notes
 
The Company raised $1,104,489 in senior convertible debentures (“The Note”) that matures in 2019. The Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial conversion price of $3.00 per share. The Note accrues interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum, compounded quarterly, to be paid on each April 15, July 15, October 15, and January 15.

KBM Worldwide, Inc. note
 
The Company entered into a convertible note agreement with KBM Worldwide, Inc. in the amount of $104,000 with a stated interest rate of 8% per annum. The note was settled after a technical default at the face value.

NOTE 7: DEBT CONVERSION EXPENSES
 
As a result of the conversion of certain convertible note payable, the Company will recognize the remaining capitalized value of the beneficial conversion feature and other costs pertaining to the conversion of the debt into common equity.

NOTE 8: USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The oil and gas industry is subject, by its nature, to environmental hazards and clean-up costs.  At this time, the Company itself does not engage in exploration and knows of no substantial costs from environmental accidents or events for which the Company may be currently liable. In addition, the Company's oil and gas business makes it vulnerable to changes in prices of crude oil and natural gas. Such prices have been volatile in the past and can be expected to be volatile in the future.

 
F-10

 
 
NOTE 9: OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
 
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas operations whereby all costs of exploring for and developing oil and gas reserves are initially capitalized on an aggregate (one cost center) basis.  Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenses, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling and overhead charges directly related to acquisition and exploration activities.

Costs capitalized, together with the costs of production equipment, are depleted and amortized on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated net proved reserves.  Petroleum products and reserves are converted to a common unit of measure, using six (6) MCF of natural gas to one barrel of oil.

Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproved properties are initially excluded from depletion calculations.  These unevaluated properties are assessed annually to ascertain whether impairment has occurred.  When proved reserves are assigned or the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to costs subject to depletion calculations.

Future net cash flows from proved reserves using average monthly prices, non-escalated and net of future operating and development costs are discounted to present value and compared to the carrying value of oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from a sale of petroleum and natural gas properties are applied against capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would alter the rate of depletion.

NOTE 10: ASSETS RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
 
The Company has adopted ASC Topic No. 410 Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations (ASC 410), which requires that asset retirement obligations ("ARO") associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets, including natural gas and oil properties, be recognized as liabilities in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated assets. The cost of tangible long-lived assets, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the assets. The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted cash flows are accreted to the expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the Company's credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s asset retirement obligation liability was $75,366 and $1,254, respectively.

NOTE 11: REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
The Company recognizes oil and gas revenues for its ownership percentage of total production under the entitlement method, whereby the working interest owner records revenue based on its share of entitled production, regardless of whether the Company has taken its ownership share of such volumes. An over-produced owner would record the excess of the amount taken over its entitled share as a reduction in revenues and a payable while the under-produced owner records revenue and a receivable for the imbalance amount.
 
 
F-12

 
 
NOTE 12: BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
 
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders (the numerator) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. The computation of diluted earnings is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. For the periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, basic and fully diluted loss per share are the same since the calculation of diluted per share amounts would result in an anti-dilutive calculation.

NOTE 13: RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified from financial statements previously presented to conform to the presentation of the December 31, 2014 financial statements.

NOTE 14: INCOME TAXES
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of the ASC Topic No. 740 , Income Taxes (ASC 740) which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

NOTE 15: STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the fair value method in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”).

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 "Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees." Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably determinable.

The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by these accounting standards. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

NOTE 16: PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the respective lease or the service life of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

NOTE 17:   PAYROLL OBLIGATIONS
 
The Company generally does not accrue payroll obligations at an operational level and relies heavily on independent contractors and consultants.  Accordingly, no liability for payroll obligations, benefits and related expenses has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Management believes the effect of this policy is not material to the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 18: IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
Long-lived assets are 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; a method utilized by the Company; are excluded from this requirement but will continue to be subject to the ceiling test limitations as dictated by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144.  The Company has did not recognize an impairment of any long lived assets although such impairment maybe necessary once all of the acquired asset interest and other liabilities have been fully recognized and settled.

 
F-13

 
 
NOTE 19: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
Cash consists of cash on deposit with high quality major financial institutions, and to date the Company has not experienced losses on any of its balances. The carrying amount approximates fair market value due to the liquidity of these deposits. For purposes of the balance sheets and statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. The Company is obligated to maintain all deposits in one financial institution. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation provides coverage for all accounts of up to $250,000. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, none of the Company’s cash was in excess of federally insured limits.

NOTE 20: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
In accordance with the reporting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic No. 825, Financial Instruments, (ASC 825) the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this standard and includes this additional information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments.

The estimated fair value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances from shareholder approximate their carrying amounts due to the nature and short maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of the short-term convertible notes and note payable approximate their fair value since they bear market rates of interest and other terms.

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts payable, certificate of deposits, and long-term debt.  The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, investments, accounts payable, certificate of deposits, and long-term debt are representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

NOTE 21: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
 
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, which eliminated certain financial reporting requirements of companies previously identified as “Development Stage Entities” (Topic 915). The amendments in this ASU simplify accounting guidance by removing all incremental financial reporting requirements for development stage entities. The amendments also reduce data maintenance and, for those entities subject to audit, audit costs by eliminating the requirement for development stage entities to present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity. Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915. The Company has adopted this standard.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued accounting guidance on revenue recognition. The amended guidance will enhance the comparability of revenue recognition practices and will be applied to all contracts with customers. Improved disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized are requirements under the amended guidance. This guidance will be effective for fiscal 2017 and will be required to be applied retrospectively. We are currently assessing the impact that this guidance will have on our financial statements at this time.
 
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2014-15. This standard provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the new guidance and plans to provide additional information about its expected impact at a future date.
 
 
F-14

 
 
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2015-03. This standard provides guidance on the balance sheet presentation for debt issuance costs and debt discounts and debt premiums. To simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs, this standard requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is evaluating the new guidance and plans to provide additional information about its expected impact at a future date.

The ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair values of financial instruments are based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the customer’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. Impairment analyses will be made of all assets using future cash flow analysis. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.

The Company held investments in equity securities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s investments consist of common stock of publicly traded company for which market prices are readily available.

The hierarchy for measuring fair value consists of Levels 1 through 3, which are described below.

 
Level 1 – Inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities exchanged in active markets. Substantially all of our investments in equity securities are traded on an exchange in active markets and fair values are based on the closing prices as of the balance sheet date.

 
Level 2 – Inputs include directly or indirectly observable inputs (other than Level 1 inputs) such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities exchanged in active or inactive markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities exchanged in inactive markets; other inputs that may be considered in fair value determinations of the assets or liabilities, such as interest rates and yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Fair values of investments in fixed maturity securities and notes payable and other borrowings are primarily based on price evaluations which incorporate market prices for identical instruments in inactive markets and market data available for instruments with similar characteristics. Pricing evaluations generally reflect discounted expected future cash flows, which incorporate yield curves for instruments with similar characteristics, such as credit rating, estimated duration and yields for other instruments of the issuer or entities in the same industry sector.

 
Level 3 – Inputs include unobservable inputs used in the measurement of assets and liabilities. Management is required to use its own assumptions regarding unobservable inputs because there is little, if any, market activity in the assets or liabilities and we may be unable to corroborate the related observable inputs. Unobservable inputs require management to make certain projections and assumptions about the information that would be used by market participants in pricing assets or liabilities. Fair value measurements of non-exchange traded derivative contracts and certain other investments are based primarily on valuation models, discounted cash flow models or other valuation techniques that are believed to be used by market participants.
 
 
F-15

 
 
 
There were no transfers between the three levels during the year ended December 31, 2014. The Changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value for the year ended December 31, 2014 were:       Oil & Gas Properties - $3,874,228

NOTE 22. INVESTMENTS IN CONVERTIBLE NOTES
 
In May 2013, the Company invested $175,000 in an unsecured convertible promissory note issued by Nitro Petroleum, Inc. The note bears interest at 9% and matured on June 30, 2016 with conversion price of $0.55 per share. As of December 31, 2013, the Company did not record any allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest payments received from this note will be recorded as interest income in the statement of operations. In 2014, this note was used as consideration to purchase oil and gas properties from Nitro Petroleum, Inc.

NOTE 23. INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY SECURITIES
 
The Company’s investments in equity securities are classified as trading securities and as such are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. Realized and unrealized gains and losses for trading securities are included as earnings in statements of operations. There were no equity securities as of December 31, 2014.

Investments in equity securities as of December 31, 2013:  $100.00

NOTE 24. COMMON STOCK
 
There were 12,162,855 and 11,081,618 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In 2014 and 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 22,312 and 40,000 common stock for past services to the Company. These shares were valued at $44,624 and $80,000, respectively.

In 2014, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 45,000 shares of common stock at $1 per share.

In 2014, the Company retired an aggregate of 635,000 shares of common stock, resulting in an increase of $362,150 in accumulated deficit and a decrease of $100,000 in common stock receivable. The shares remain as authorized stock; however, they are now considered unissued.

In 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,543,529 shares of common stock in related to the conversion of $3,033,000 of convertible notes.

On August 20, 2014, the Company executed a put option agreement with 2 shareholders in which the Company is obligated to purchase 422,000 shares of common stock for the period of 18 months with a purchase price of the lesser of one dollar or fifty percent of the fair market value of the traded shares on the purchase date.

In 2013, the Company guaranteed a personal loan to one of the officers of the Company. The Company pledges the certificate of deposit as collateral for this loan. On April 2014, the certificate of deposit has been released and the Company has been released from its position as loan guarantee for the officer.
 
NOTE 26. INCOME TAXES
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

NOTE 27. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The former director of the Company is a managing director of Pegasus Funds, LLC (“Pegasus”). As of December 31, 2014, Pegasus owned approximately 789,000 common shares.

One of the shareholder advances funds for the Company’s operations. These advances have no formal agreement, no stated interest rate and due on demand. The amount due as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $2,000 and $20,000, respectively.

On December 2014, one of the shareholders entered into a secured promissory note with the Company for $100,000 as an advance to Company to fund operations. The note is payable 120 days from the issue date at par value with consideration of 200,000 of Company common stock.  The note is governed by the jurisdictional laws of Arizona.

The Company advances funds to a former executive of the Company. These advances have a mutual repayment agreement in which the Company is to be reimbursed over a six month period. The amount receivable as of December 31, 2014 was $41,568.

The Company guaranteed a personal loan to W. Brown Glenn, Jr., former executive of the Company. The Company pledged the certificate of deposit as collateral guarantee for this loan. These actions taken by the Company were improperly made by Mr. Glenn without approval of the board of directors of the Company. On April 2014, the certificate of deposit was released and the Company has been released from its position as loan guarantor for Mr. Glenn.

On or about August 21, 2013, Mr. Glenn wired approximately $460,000 of the Company's funds to a law firm in Minnesota to settle a judgment which had been entered against Pegasus in a matter completely unrelated to the Company. In his instructions to the Company's bank, Mr. Brown indicated the wire was for a transaction with Nacona Production Company and caused the Company to file its Form 10-K reflecting that the wire was a deposit against a pending asset acquisition, all of which was not true. The Company has been aggressively pursuing its claims against Pegasus and its members, including Mr. Brown. The Company has settled its claims against Pegasus and all its members, except Mr. Brown. The Company is currently in settlement discussions with Mr. Brown, but should such discussions not result in a satisfactory settlement, the Company intends to aggressively pursue all of its legal remedies against Mr. Brown. On September 15, 2014, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Pegasus and its members except for Mr. Brown, the principal terms of which included the forgiveness by Pegasus of the balance of the promissory note ($100,000 amount due as of September 30, 2014), surrender of 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company, and placement of a lockup on most of the remaining shares of the Company’s common stock owned Pegasus and the other settling parties. Neither Pegasus nor any of its members, including Mr. Brown, has any further relationship with Company in any form.

NOTE 28. LONG-TERM DEBT
 
In 2014 Mr. Miller entered into a debenture transaction with the Company with the face value of $250,000.  These Debentures are of the same class offered to investors (Senior Unsecured Debentures).  Each yields an annual return on investment of 8% per annum, with a five year maturity.

During the fiscal year of 2014, Director Mr. Alexander Campbell entered into four separate debenture transactions with the Company for a total of $700,000.  These Debentures are of the same class offered to investors (Senior Unsecured Debentures).  Each yields an annual return on investment of 8% per annum, with a five year maturity.
 
NOTE 29. NATURAL GAS AND OIL EXPLORATION RISK
 
Exploration Risk
 
The Company's future financial condition and results of operations will depend upon prices received for its natural gas and oil production and the cost of finding, acquiring, developing and producing reserves. Substantially all of its production is sold under various terms and arrangements at prevailing market prices. Prices for natural gas and oil are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of other factors beyond its control. Other factors that have a direct bearing on the Company's prospects are uncertainties inherent in estimating natural gas and oil reserves and future hydrocarbon production and cash flows, particularly with respect to wells that have not been fully tested and with wells having limited production histories; access to additional capital; changes in the price of natural gas and oil; availability and cost of services and equipment; and the presence of competitors with greater financial resources and capacity.

Distribution Risk
 
The Company is dependent on the operator to market any oil production from its wells and any subsequent production which may be received from other wells.  It relies on the operator's ability and expertise in the industry to successfully market the same. Prices at which the operator sells gas/oil both in intrastate and interstate commerce, will be subject to the availability of pipelines, demand and other factors beyond the control of the operator. The Company and the operator believe any oil produced can be readily sold to a number of buyers.

NOTE 30. STOCK OPTIONS/STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company approved a non-qualified stock option plan in November 2013 to provide directors, officers and employees.  This plan allows for 40,000 shares of common stock per grant to be reserved for issuance. The options are non-qualified stock options and are valued at the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. The options expire five years after the date of grant.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718-10-55. This statement requires the Company to record an expense associated with the fair value of stock-based compensation. The Company uses the Black- Scholes option valuation model to calculate stock-based compensation at the date of grant. Option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility. The Company used the simplified method to determine the expected term of the options due to the lack of sufficient historical data. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.   As of December 31, 2014, there was $59,994 of unrecognized compensation expenses related to the non-vested stock grant.

NOTE 31. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
 
The total future asset retirement obligation is estimated by management based on the Company’s net working interests in all wells and facilities, estimated costs to reclaim and abandon wells and facilities and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future periods. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company estimated the undiscounted cash flows related to asset retirement obligation to total approximately $171,697. The fair value of the liability at December 31, 2014 and 2013 is estimated to be $76,620 and $1,254, respectively, using risk free rates of 7 percent and inflation rates of 2.4 percent. The actual costs to settle the obligation are expected to occur in approximately 15 to 60 years.

Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors currently consists of four directors; Messrs.

Audit Committee

The independent directors have determined that Mr. Tregaskes meets the qualifications as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the regulations of the SEC and exchange rules. As a result, Mr. Tregaskes was elected chairman of that committee. The audit committee approved and adopted the audit committee charter (included herein by reference). The primary responsibilities of our audit committee will include:

The audit committee of our board will be responsible for applying and interpreting our code of conduct and ethics in situations where questions arise.

Corporate Governance

We believe that good corporate governance is important to ensure that, as a public company, we will be managed for the long-term benefit of the shareholders. In preparation for the completion of this registration statement and in the event the Company makes an application for listing of the Company’s shares on the NYSE-AMEX, we have been reviewing the corporate governance policies and practices of other public companies. We have also considered the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules of the SEC and NYSE-AMEX Exchange. Based on that review, our Board of Directors will begin taking steps to implement many of those provisions and rules.

Election of Directors and Vacancies

The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors, which currently consist of four (4) directors may have up to a maximum of seven (7) directors. Our Bylaws further provide that vacancies on our Board of Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining Directors or a super majority vote of the shareholders. Directors elected to fill vacancies hold office until the expiration of the term of the director they replaced.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

As of the date of this filing, the base salaries of our one executive has already been established for a period of two years, based on the provisions of the Exchange Agreement (see, Summary – Selected Corporate History) and listed in the Summary Compensation Table following.  After the initial two year period covered by the provisions of the Exchange Agreement, the compensation for our executive officers will be determined by the Compensation Committee.

Planned objectives

We expect that our executive compensation programs for our named executive officers will be designed to achieve the following objectives:

●  
To provide executives with overall levels of compensation that we believe are competitive with the high growth energy sector.
●  
To attract the highest caliber of talent.
●  
To provide executive pay packages with appropriate short and long-term incentives, including annual bonus and equity compensation tied to individual and company performance.
●  
To reward performance that creates shareholder value for our company.
 
Components of future executive compensation programs

We expect that our executive compensation plans will include some combination of the following elements of compensation that are generally recognized as important in attracting and retaining qualified individuals:

●  
Base salaries
 
 
25

 
 
●  
Annual cash incentives
●  
Long-term incentives
●  
Employee benefits programs
●  
Stock Incentive Plan
 
While we have not adopted any formal policies regarding executive compensation, including policies or guidelines for allocating compensation among salary, cash incentives, long-term incentives and other benefits, we expect to do so within the next 12 months.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

Except as otherwise described herein, there have been no related party transactions, or any other transactions or relationships required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-B.

Our former President was the largest equity holder in Clark Scott, LLC and consequently became our largest shareholder after the September merger. The Company advances funds and these advances have no formal agreement, no stated interest rate and due on demand. The amount receivable as of December 31, 2014 was $41,568.

Two of the shareholders advance funds for the Company’s operations. These advances have no formal agreement, no stated interest rate and due on demand. The amount due as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $102,000 and $20,000, respectively.

The Company guaranteed a personal loan to W. Brown Glenn, Jr., former executive of the Company. The Company pledged the certificate of deposit as collateral guarantee for this loan. These actions taken by the Company were improperly made by Mr. Glenn without approval of the board of directors of the Company. On April 2014, the certificate of deposit was released and the Company has been released from its position as loan guarantor for Mr. Glenn.

On or about August 21, 2013, Mr. Glenn wired $460,000 of the Company's funds to a law firm in Minnesota to settle a judgment which had been entered against Pegasus in a matter completely unrelated to the Company. In his instructions to the Company's bank, Mr. Brown indicated the wire was for a transaction with Nacona Production Company and caused the Company to file its Form 10-K reflecting that the wire was a deposit against a pending asset acquisition, all of which was not true. The Company has been aggressively pursuing its claims against Pegasus and its members, including Mr. Brown. The Company has settled its claims against Pegasus and all its members, except Mr. Brown. The Company is currently in settlement discussions with Mr. Brown, but should such discussions not result in a satisfactory settlement, the Company intends to aggressively pursue all of its legal remedies against Mr. Brown. On September 15, 2014, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Pegasus and its members except for Mr. Brown, the principal terms of which included the forgiveness by Pegasus of the balance of the promissory note ($100,000 amount due as of September 30, 2014), surrender of 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company, and placement of a lockup on most of the remaining shares of the Company’s common stock owned Pegasus and the other settling parties. Neither Pegasus nor any of its members, including Mr. Brown, has any further relationship with Company in any form.

Policies and Procedures with Respect to Related Party Transactions.

The chairman of our audit committee has managerial experience and he also has served on numerous public boards as audit committee member and is thoroughly familiar with the types of related party transactions that occur in smaller companies. Management relies on his and our outside accounting firm’s expertise regarding potential conflicts and disclosure.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has determined that the following directors are independent directors for purposes of compliance with the corporate governance rules of the NYSE AMEX exchange; Messrs. Campbell and Tregaskes. We intend to comply with the rules relating to the number of independent directors composing our board and we anticipate that our independent directors will meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only the independent directors are present. We intend to comply with future governance requirements to the extent they become applicable to us.

ITEM 14- PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

(1) Audit Fees are the aggregate fees billed by the independent auditor for the audit of the annual financial statements, reviews of interim financial statements, and attestation services that are provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

Generally, the board of directors approves in advance audit and non-audit services to be provided by our independent auditors. In other cases, in accordance with Rule 2-01(c)(7) of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, the board of directors has delegated preapproval authority to our President for matters that arise or otherwise require approval between regularly scheduled meetings of the board of directors, provided that such approvals are reported to the board of directors at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

A large amount of the increased fees year over year was due to the complex nature and additional work necessary to file a consolidated statement after the Mergers and Acquisitions during the year of 2014.  We anticipate the fees for such services to decline during the fiscal year 2015.
