On June 2, 2014, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of its common stock to Chisholm II in exchange for oil and gas assets. Chisholm II was the sole stockholder of Dala Petroleum Corp. (a Nevada corporation) prior to the Merger.

The Company had a service agreement, which has been suspended by the Company since May 2015 and has since been cancelled, with Chisholm II to use its existing technical exploration team for general and administrative-type services on behalf of the Company. The Company was obligated to pay Chisholm II $25,000 per month plus expenses for these services under the Master Services Agreement. For the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company paid $225,472 and had accrued $50,000 for its services prior to suspending the Master Services Agreement and cancelling all amounts due thereunder.

In June 2014, the Company entered into an Option Participation Agreement with Chisholm II, whereby Chisholm II granted the Company the option, at the Company’s own election, to participate for up to twenty-five percent (25%) of Chisholm II’s share of each drilling operation in search for oil or gas in the State of Kansas undertaken by Chisholm II.

The trustee of Pacific is the Company’s director, Clancy Cottman, and the funds delivered to the Company by Pacific were provided by a group of the Company’s Series A 6% Convertible Preferred shareholders.
