Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources [Text Block]

2	Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources

	The Company currently has a severe shortage of working capital and funds to pay its liabilities. The Company has no current borrowing capacity with any lender. The Company incurred a net loss of $1,464,567 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company has a working capital deficit of $11,868,873 and an accumulated deficit of $25,011,410 at September 30, 2013 which leads to substantial doubt concerning the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due. The Company also has a need for substantial funds to develop its oil and gas properties and repay borrowings as well as to meet its other current liabilities.

	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As a result of the losses incurred and current negative working capital, there is no assurance that the carrying amounts of assets will be realized or that liabilities will be liquidated or settled for the amounts recorded. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon adequate sources of capital and the Company’s ability to sustain positive results of operations and cash flows sufficient to continue to explore for and develop its oil and gas reserves and pay its obligations.

Management’s strategy has been to obtain additional financing or industry partners. It is management’s intention to raise additional debt or equity financing to fund its operations and capital expenditures or to enter into another transaction in order to maximize shareholder value. Failure to obtain additional financing can be expected to adversely affect the Company’s ability to pay its obligations, further the development of its properties, grow revenues, oil and gas reserves and achieve and maintain a significant level of revenues, cash flows, and profitability. There can be no assurance that the Company will obtain this additional financing at the time required, at rates that are favorable to the Company, or at all. Further, any additional equity financing that is obtained may result in material dilution to the current holders of common stock.

Disclosure of accounting policy for reporting when there is a substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time (generally a year from the balance sheet date). Disclose: (a) pertinent conditions and events giving rise to the assessment of substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, (b) the possible effects of such conditions and events, (c) management's evaluation of the significance of those conditions and events and any mitigating factors, (d) possible discontinuance of operations, (e) management's plans (including relevant prospective financial information), and (f) information about the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities. If management's plans alleviate the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosure of the principal conditions and events that initially raised the substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern would be expected to be considered. Disclose whether operations for the current or prior years generated sufficient cash to cover current obligations, whether waivers were obtained from creditors relating to the company's default under the provisions of debt agreements and possible effects of such conditions and events, such as: whether there is a possible need to obtain additional financing (debt or equity) or to liquidate certain holdings to offset future cash flow deficiencies. Disclose appropriate parent company information when parent is dependent upon remittances from subsidiaries to satisfy its obligations.
