The lease was initially recorded at the cost of issuing 62,000,000 common shares. On January 20, 2012, 2,076,000 shares of convertible preferred stock were issued in concluding the Joaquin Basin purchase agreement. The cost of the issue, $4,152,000, was based on the value of preferred stock as if converted to common stock. The total cost, $7,026,666, was supported bya volumetric analysis.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:115%;margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal'&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:115%;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal'&gt;The Company received a reserve report from an independent petroleum geologist as of March 31, 2013, which utilized the following assumptions:20% working interest (14% net revenue) supported by a &amp;#147;P10&amp;#148; factor,&amp;#160; a 10% recovery rate,&amp;#160; value for oil of $50 per barrel, resulting in an approximate value to the Company of $8,200,000, an amount in excess of the $7,112,000 recorded on the accompanying balance sheets.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:115%;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal'&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:115%;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal'&gt;On November 21, 2011, a portion of the interest in the lease was swapped for a future &amp;#147;carry&amp;#148; of exploration costs and administration of the lease. Grid&amp;#146;s 50% working interest (37.5% net revenue interest) was reduced to 30% and 14% respectively. The co-lessee, is the obligor under the agreement. Future exploration costs include the operating &amp;#147;carry&amp;#148; costs of the lease and drilling costs of the first well, named &amp;#147;First Farmin Well.&amp;#148; The exploration costs were valued based on the percentage reduction in net revenue interest. A reduction of $4,825,334 in the value of the Joaquin Basin property was recorded.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:115%;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal'&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:115%;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal'&gt;Impairment of the California properties from their recorded acquisition values was considered at June 30, 2013 and 2012.
