PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General

The following is a summary of some of the information contained in this document.  Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this document to "T-Rex" or the "Company" are to T-Rex Oil, Inc.

BUSINESS STRUCTURE

T-Rex Oil, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada as Rancher Energy Corp. ("Rancher.")

On October 8, 2014, as approved by our board of directors and a written consent of our majority shareholder, an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation was filed in order to authorize a reverse split of the common stock, issued and outstanding, on a one (1) new share for three hundred fifty (350) old shares basis. At the same time, the Articles of Incorporation were amended change our authorized capital to 275,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock and 50,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock.  The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") approved the amendment, effective October 29, 2014.  

On October 17, 2014, we merged into our wholly owned subsidiary, T-Rex Oil, Inc., a Colorado corporation and as a result were re-domiciled in the state of Colorado.   

Prior to August 2014, we had minimal operations that were focused mainly on administrative activities, the identification of potential oil and gas prospects, and one prospect participation in Colorado that was rescinded in June 2014, as discussed below.

We are an energy company, focused on the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas.  We have acquired oil and natural gas properties located in the western United States, mainly in the Rocky Mountain region. Our goal is to drill and produce oil and gas cost effectively, by concentrating our efforts in proven oil rich areas where we have in-house geologic and operating experience.

CORPORATE ACTIVITIES

PetroShare Participation Agreement

In September and October 2013, the Company (then Rancher) negotiated and became party to a Participation Agreement for the drilling of two wells in the Niobrara formation in Moffat County in northwestern Colorado with PetroShare Corp. ("PetroShare"), an unaffiliated entity, was the operator of the prospect. Rancher and PetroShare had previously entered into a non-binding letter of intent by which the two parties were negotiating and pursuing a business combination (the "LOI"). Rancher contributed its share to the drilling and completion of the two wells of approximately $1,200,000. Disputes then developed between Rancher

-4-


and PetroShare with respect to the wells and the contemplated business combination. On March 27, 2014, the Board of Rancher approved an arrangement to settle with PetroShare and on May 5, 2014, the parties entered into an agreement to settle their claims which required, among other things, payment of $1,142,237, (such funds were received in full in June 2014), as well as mutual releases that become effective in June 2014. The settlement agreement acknowledges that neither Rancher nor PetroShare admits any liability to the other.

Rancher did not convey any properties or assets to PetroShare, but (upon receipt of the final payment from PetroShare) Rancher acknowledged that the Participation Agreement and Rancher's rights under the related joint operating agreement had been terminated. Inasmuch as Rancher had never received an assignment of any interest in the oil and gas leases, it had not obligation or right to assign any interests to PetroShare or to any other person.

Terex Energy Corp Securities Purchase Agreement

On August 19, 2014, Terex Energy Corp ("Terex") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to purchase 371,003 shares (adjusted for reverse split) of our restricted common stock from us. After such purchase, Terex held approximately 52% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, at that time.  As part of the Exchange Agreement, discussed below, with the Terex shareholders, these shares were returned to the Company and cancelled.

Terex Exchange Agreements

On December 22, 2014, we entered into the Exchange Agreements with the Terex shareholders for 100% of the shares of Terex. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, we agreed to issue 7,385,700 shares of our restricted common stock for 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Terex. The shares are to be exchanged on a one for one basis. As a result, Terex became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

In addition, 800,000 in warrants and 900,000 in options issued and outstanding at Terex were exchanged for an equal number of warrants and options in T-Rex.

The effective date of the acquisition was December 22, 2014, with T-Rex being the legal acquirer. However, since T-Rex is a public company, which had nominal activity, the acquisition was treated as a recapitalization of Terex. Though T-Rex was the legal acquirer in the acquisition, Terex was the accounting acquirer since its shareholders gained control of T-Rex. Therefore at the date of the acquisition the historical financial statements of Terex became those of T-Rex. As a result, the historical financial statements of Terex supersede any prior financial statements of T-Rex.

Western Interior Oil & Gas Corporation Acquisition

 

On February 24, 2015, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Western Interior Oil & Gas Corporation ("Western Interior") and the shareholders of Western Interior.  Under the Share Exchange Agreement we exchanged shares of our common stock for 83% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Western Interior. The acquisition was closed on March 27, 2014 and effective March 31, 2015.  At the time of closing, we issued 7,465,168 shares of our restricted common stock in exchange for shares of Western Interior.  In addition, we have agreed to appoint two nominees of Western Interior to our Board of Directors at a future date.

On March 31, 2015, we entered into an amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement whereby we assumed certain repurchase agreements between Western Interior and its dissident shareholders and as a result acquired the remaining 17% of Western Interior. As part of these agreements, we assumed certain promissory notes issued to the dissenting shareholders in the total amount of $1,770,047 that are secured by Western Interior's assets. As a result, Western Interior has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

 

 

Part of our strategy includes the use of partnerships to not only own individual projects, but to handle the drilling, completion, operation and raising of capital for the funding of such prospects.  The Company or one of its subsidiaries will then handle the operation and management of the partnership.  T-Rex Oil LLC #1 is one such partnership that is managed by T-Rex.

 

Terex Energy Corp

Terex was incorporated in the State of Colorado in February 2014. Terex has interests in oil and gas properties. Prior to the share exchange with T-Rex, Terex had acquired interests in oil and gas prospects and properties discussed herein.  Terex is an operator of oil and gas properties owned by the Company and its subsidiaries.

T-Rex Oil LLC, #1

T-Rex Oil LLC, #1 ("T-Rex #1") is a Colorado limited liability company organized in December 2014.  T-Rex is the manager of T-Rex #1 and manages the Sioux County, Nebraska project.  The Company doesn't have an equity interest in T-Rex #1.

Western Interior Oil & Gas Corporation

 

Western Interior was incorporate in the State of Wyoming in August 2005.  Western Interior has producing and developmental oil and gas properties in southwest central Wyoming.  Upon the acquisition of Western Interior, Mr. Jon Nicolaysen, an officer and director of T-Rex was appointed the Chief Executive Officer of Western Interior.

 

CORPORATE STRATEGY

 

Our approach is to acquire Proven Developed Producing properties that are also de-risk.   The ideal candidate will also include Proven Undeveloped well sites, which should supply upside development potential, ("running room.")  Specifically, properties that have the advantage of having established producing oil and/or natural gas wells that have drillable offset locations and have wells that may be shut-in but are candidates for re-working or re-completion, are high priority acquisition targets.

 

Our acquisition strategy also takes older wells that are shut in or have lower production results and applies new and existing technologies to work-over and/or recomplete so as to increase production and ultimate recovery.  Technologies to be deployed include 3-D seismic imaging to target undeveloped areas of the

 

-6-


reservoir that contain remaining primary reserves; horizontal drilling to increase recoveries; as well as secondary and tertiary recovery methods to increase ultimate produced reserves.

 

We intend to achieve success through the following:

 

•Build a Portfolio of Low-Risk, High-Return O&G Assets in the Rocky Mountain Region

•Acquire, Explore & Develop Assets to Reach an Annual Production Rate of 500 to 1,000 BBls per Day in 2015

•Utilize Scalable Financial Model to Drive Top- And Bottom-Line Results

•Leverage Expertise of the Leadership Team to Build a Strong Track Record

 OIL AND GAS PROJECTS

During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we focused efforts on the acquisition of properties that met certain criteria for both exploration and development and work-over projects.  With an initial focus on the Rocky Mountain Region, our current projects are found primarily in Wyoming and Nebraska.  Additional information as to our oil and gas projects can be found in Item 2 of this Filing.

Wyoming

As part of the acquisition of Western Interior, we acquired approximately 15,896 gross acres spread across the Big Horn Basin, the Wind River Basin and south central Wyoming.

-7-


Properties held by Western Interior include:

Big Horn Basin Prospect

The Big Horn Basin, located in north-central Wyoming is a geological structural basin of sedimentary rocks dating from the Cambrian to Miocene.  The principal productive reservoir of oil in the Big Horn Basin to date has been the Pennsylvanian Tensleep Formation.  Other producing horizons include the Mississippian Madison Limestone, Permian Phosphoria and the Cretaceous Frontier Sandstone.

Our Big Horn Basin projects currently produce from the Triassic Crow Mountain, Permian Phosphoria, and the Frontier formations.  They provide us with both development and exploration opportunities.

The Big Horn Basin Prospect contains 5 Properties, which have a combination of development and exploration projects. We expect to drill, subject to reasonable financing, between 16 and 36 wells on the properties over the next two years.

Rawhide - This is an opportunity for development of existing production and exploration for deeper reserves.  Cumulative historical production to date is approximately 147.0 MBO.

Meeteetse "Deep" - This is an opportunity to develop a large Phosphoria-Tensleep oil field.  This is the largest project in the Western portfolio.  In mid-2008, the Carter 1 discovery well was re-entered and recompleted in the Phosphoria formation to restore production.  Extensive testing and analysis have established Phosphoria 2P reserves on the 240 acre lease block.

Baird Peak - Baird Peak is a well-defined structure with 200' of closure, with multiple pay objectives. Historically, it has produced 128,000 BO. 

Adam - Adam consists of two adjacent tilted fault blocks along the Southeast plunge of the Enos Creek Anticline. 

Wind River Basin

Located just to the south of the Big Horn Basin, the Wind River Basin is an asymmetric sedimentary basin bounded by the Owl Creek Mountains on the North, Casper Arch on the East and Sweetwater Uplift on the South.  The most prolific oil producing horizons in the Wind River Basin have been the Tensleep, Phosphoria, and Frontier Formations.

The Wind River Basin includes production from the Cretaceous Frontier Formation at shallow depths of 3,800 to 4,500 feet.  This area produces a light-oil - 42 to 45 API gravity.

The Wind River Basin contains 2 projects, a combination of existing development and new exploration targets. The initial plan for these projects is development drilling, where warranted.

South Central Wyoming

The Rattlesnake Creek and Overland Trail prospects are the result of thrust-fault controlled structures.   Overland Trail is situated upon a shallow pop-up structure lying along the Arlington Fault zone with possible recovery from 3 distinct formations: the Cretaceous Muddy Sandstone, the Jurassic Sundance and the Permian Casper, with depths ranging from 1,600 to 3,900 feet.

-8-



The Rattlesnake Creek prospect, sits over a Late-Laramide thrust-fault detachment structure. The resulting linear anticlinal structure has significant opportunity for hydrocarbon entrapment in several intervals.

Management is evaluating existing seismic data, integrating those data into the overall geologic models and developing an appropriate drilling plan for the properties.  At this time, emphasis is on development and new drilling among the most promising high-production, low risk properties in this portfolio.

Our other properties in Wyoming include:

Cole Creek Oil Field, Wyoming

Located is the southwest margin of the Powder River Basin in Natrona and Converse Counties.  The Shannon Sand Formation historically is the main oil producing formation in the field.  The Shannon Sand Formation is found at a depth of 4,500 - 5,500 ft.

The Cole Creek Lease covers approximately 7,000 acres and is located 20 miles to the northeast of Casper, Wyoming.  The lease includes 7 well bores.  Currently, these are not producing and can not be worked on.  We intend to drill 3 development wells in late 2016 or early 2017, depending upon the availability of financing. Contingent on the results of those 3 wells, additional wells may also be drilled.

The land is under a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Held by Production (HBP) lease. Permits will take up to 1 year for approval, although re-entries and extension permits may take as little as 30 days.

We intend to focus on the re-development of the Shannon formation using new technology and 3-D seismic re-work methods.   We intend to drill edge and infill wells initially, then develop the property for tertiary recovery, using polymer floods, surfactants and possibly CO2 injection.  

Burke Ranch Project, Natrona County, Wyoming

The Burke Ranch Field of Wyoming, consists of approximately 4,500 acres located in the southwest corner of the Powder River Basin.  The project has a potential for 40+ development and exploratory wells.   Historically, the Dakota Formation has been the primary objective. The Burke Ranch Unit was originally developed on 80 acre spacing. Downsizing the spacing to 40 acres and drilling infill and edge wells offers low risk and high potential production.

There are 5 additional formations, which appear to be productive at Burke Ranch. There are good drilling opportunities in the first bench of the Frontier (Wall Creek), Second Frontier, Niobrara, Mowry, and Tensleep Formations.

The Powder River Basin was originally known for its coal deposits.  The Powder River Basin contains the well-known Salt Creek Oil Field.  Oil and Gas are produced from rocks ranging from Pennsylvanian to Tertiary.  While most of the oil produced in the Powder River Basin comes from the sandstones in thick sections of Cretaceous rocks, shale formations have recently become primary targets locally.  This recent upsurge in production in the Wyoming portion of the basin is largely due to recent technological advancements in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques.

The project has the potential to produce, with conventional drilling, from three formations: the Tensleep, Dakota and the Frontier formations.

-9-



Burke Ranch Field offers a variety of drilling and development opportunities

•         Tensleep Formation - new drilling on seismic anomaly

•         Dakota Formation - additional development of the Dakota Formation to re-work the field to increase existing production

•         Frontier Formation - to recomplete the existing wells to access existing reserves behind pipe.

Most of the Burke Ranch leasehold is BLM and therefore is subject to Federal regulations.   It is expected that it will take up to 12 months for Drilling Permit approvals to be obtained. Some wells in the Dakota formation will be recompletions. As such it is expected that their approval will be obtained in a shorter time frame.

Nebraska

Sioux and Kimball County, Nebraska

The Sioux County Project has potential revenue from two sources.  The first is through production from existing wells, the second is from the water injection/disposal project.

We have development of the project through the T-Rex #1.

Oil Well Development

•         We have a 100% WI and a 75% NRI in the well and key acreage of 240 acres.

•         We have sufficient acreage to drill two new wells in an up-dip direction structurally.

•         The original operator drilled and tested 24-30 BOPH from two different horizons; initial drilling damaged the formation, so production is only a fraction of what it tested at.

•         The well currently produces intermittently and a work over plan is being developed.

Water Injection - Disposal Project

•         Company has a 31.25% WI until payout, at which time the Company would get an additional 25% working interest for a total of 56.25%.

•         Water injection well application for permit was submitted and in early April 2015 it was approved for injection rates of 5,000 barrels of water per day, pending appeal.

•         Water injection well has been drilled and cased with 7 inch pipe.

•         Management believes the well is capable of disposing of up to 11,000 barrels of water per day.

We intend to continue to develop plans for the water disposal facility

-10-


Utah

 

Located adjacent to the Covenant Field in Sevier County, Utah, we have ownership in oil and gas leases which make up the Covenant Mondo Prospect, subject to a participating on a well by well basis.

 

We have a participation agreement in 3,995 gross acres located along the Central Utah overthrust belt, specifically the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone reservoir.  The Navajo Sandstone is 740 to 1700 feet thick and is overlaid by the Jurassic Twin Creek Limestone and underlaid by the Jurassic Kayenta Formation. 

 

During the latter part of 2014, we drilled the first of two wells that resulted in a dry hole.  During the first part of 2015, we drilled a second well which was also a dry hole.

 

Further plans for the acreage are under review.

 

COMPETITION, MARKETS, REGULATION AND TAXATION

 

Competition

 

There are a large number of companies and individuals engaged in the exploration for oil and gas; accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable properties. However, the staff at T-Rex is experienced and knowledgeable in the Rocky Mountains and can evaluate potential acquisitions and opportunities with greater efficiency.

 

Markets

 

The availability of a ready market for newly discovered oil and gas reserves will depend on numerous factors beyond our control, including the proximity and capacity of refineries, pipelines, and the effect of state regulation of production and of federal regulations of products sold in interstate commerce, and recent intrastate sales. The market price of oil and gas is volatile and beyond our control.

 

Global Oil Supply

 

Currently, the produced global oil supply is outpacing oil demand which in part, has resulted in the steeply declining oil prices in late 2014 and early 2015.  These price trends are expected to continue in the near term as foreign producers, continue to increase production in response to declining prices. 

 

Despite this, the industry continues to work on a production decline curve, and the industry continues to focus on trying to replace depleting reserves with more conventional and cost effective production techniques.

 

Effect of Changing Industry Conditions on Drilling Activity

 

Lower oil and gas prices have caused a decline in drilling activity in the U.S. recently. However, such reduced activity will normally result in a decline in drilling, lease acquisition and equipment costs, and an improvement in the terms under which drilling prospects are generally available. We cannot predict what oil and gas prices will be in the future and what effect those prices may have on drilling activity in general, or on our ability to generate economic drilling prospects nor to raise the necessary funds with which to drill them.

 

Effect of Technology

 

Evolving scientific and technological developments in the last five years have not only provided access to previously unreachable and large reserves, but in many cases has made the production of such reserves highly profitable.  In addition these developments have taken previously shut in fields/wells and made them once again economically viable and in some cases, greatly so.

Government Regulations

Governmental Regulation and Environmental Consideration.

Oil and Gas:  The oil and gas business in the United States is subject to regulation by both federal and state authorities, particularly with respect to pricing, allowable rates of production, marketing and environmental matters.

The production of crude oil and gas has, in recent years, been the subject of increasing state and federal controls.  No assurance can be given that newly imposed or changed federal laws will not adversely affect the economic viability of any oil and gas properties we may acquire in the future.  Federal income and "windfall profit" taxes have in the past affected the economic viability of such properties.

The above paragraphs only give a brief overview of potential state and federal regulations.  Because we have only acquired specific properties, and because of the wide range of activities in which we may participate, it is impossible to set forth in detail the potential impact federal and state regulations may have on us.

The Department of Energy

 

The Department of Energy Organization Act (Pub. L. No. 95-91) became effective October 1, 1977.  Under this Act various agencies, including the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) and the Federal Power Commission (FPC), have been consolidated to constitute the cabinet-level Department of Energy (DOE).  The Economic Regulatory Administration (ERA), a semi-independent administration within the DOE, now administers most of the regulatory programs formerly managed by the FEA, including oil pricing and allocation.  The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), an independent agency within the DOE, has assumed the FPC's responsibility for natural gas regulation.

 

Crude Oil and Natural Gas Liquids Price and Allocation Regulation

 

Pursuant to Executive Order Number 12287, issued January 28, 1981, President Reagan lifted all existing federal price and allocation controls over the sale and distribution of crude oil and natural gas liquids.  Executive Order Number 12287 was made effective as of January 28, 1981, and consequently, sales of crude oil and natural gas liquids after January 27, 1981 are free from federal regulation.  The price for such sales and the supplier-purchaser relationship will be determined by private contract and prevailing market conditions.  As a result of this action, oil which may be sold by us will be sold at deregulated or free market prices.  At various times, certain groups have advocated the reestablishment of regulations and control on the sale of domestic oil and gas.

 

State Regulations

 

Our production of oil and gas, if any, will be subject to regulation by state regulatory authorities in the states in which we may produce oil and gas.  In general, these regulatory authorities are empowered to make and enforce regulations to prevent waste of oil and gas and to protect correlative rights and opportunities to produce oil and gas as between owners of a common reservoir.  Some regulatory authorities may also regulate the amount of oil and gas produced by assigning allowable rates of production.

 

Environmental Laws.

 

Oil and gas exploration and development are specifically subject to existing federal and state laws and regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control.  Such laws and regulations may substantially increase the costs of exploring for, developing, or producing oil and gas and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of a given operation.

 

-12-



All of our operations involving the exploration for or the production of any minerals are subject to existing laws and regulations relating to exploration procedures, safety precautions, employee health and safety, air quality standards, pollution of stream and fresh water sources, odor, noise, dust, and other environmental protection controls adopted by federal, state and local governmental authorities as well as the right of adjoining property owners.  We may be required to prepare and present to federal, state or local authorities data pertaining to the effect or impact that any proposed exploration for or production of minerals may have upon the environment.  All requirements imposed by any such authorities may be costly, time consuming, and may delay commencement or continuation of exploration or production operations.

 

It may be anticipated that future legislation will significantly emphasize the protection of the environment, and that, as a consequence, our activities may be more closely regulated to further the cause of environmental protection.  Such legislation, as well as future interpretation of existing laws, may require substantial increases in equipment and operating costs to us and delays, interruptions, or a termination of operations, the extent to which cannot now be predicted.

 

Title to Properties.

 

We are not the record owner of our interest in our properties and rely instead on contracts with the owner or operator of the property, pursuant to which, among other things, we have the right to have our interest placed of record.  As is customary in the oil and gas industry, a preliminary title examination will be conducted at the time unproved properties or interests are acquired by us.  Prior to commencement of drilling operations on such acreage and prior to the acquisition of proved properties, we will conduct a title examination and attempt extremely significant defects before proceeding with operations or the acquisition of proved properties, as we may deem appropriate.

 

Our properties are subject to royalty, overriding royalty and other interests customary in the industry, liens incident to agreements, current taxes and other burdens, minor encumbrances, easements and restrictions.  Although we are not aware of any material title defects or disputes with respect to its undeveloped acreage, to the extent such defects or disputes exist, we would suffer title failures.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document includes forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements relating to T-Rex's plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions and adequacy of resources.  These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.  These factors include, among others, the following: our ability of to implement our business strategy; ability to obtain additional financing; T-Rex limited operating history; unknown liabilities associated with future acquisitions; ability to manage growth; significant competition; ability to attract and retain talented employees; and future government regulations; and other factors described in this filing or in other of T-Rex's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  T-Rex is under no obligation, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY

Our business has an operating history of only two years after Bankruptcy emergence and is unproven and therefore risky.

We have only recently begun operations under the business plan discussed herein. Potential investors should be made aware of the risk and difficulties encountered by a new enterprise in the oil and gas industry, especially in view of the intense competition from existing businesses in the industry.

We have a lack of revenue history and have a short history of operations. 

We have only recently begun operations in the oil and gas industry.  During the year ended March 31, 2015, we recognized a net loss of $11,043,541 compared to $13,431 during the year ended March 31, 2014.  Though with our acquisition of Western Interior, during the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, we have started to recognize revenues from operations, though these are not enough to support operations. 

We are not profitable and the business effort is considered to be in an early stage of operations.  We must be regarded as a new or development venture with all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, risks and difficulties to which such ventures are subject.

We are not diversified and we will be dependent on only one business.

Because of the limited financial resources that we have, it is unlikely that we will be able to diversify our operations.  Our probable inability to diversify our activities into more than one area will subject us to economic fluctuations within the energy industry and therefore increase the risks associated with our operations due to lack of diversification.

We can give no assurance of success or profitability to our investors.

There is no assurance that we will ever operate profitably.  There is no assurance that we will generate revenues or profits, or that the market price of our common stock will be increased thereby.

We may have a shortage of working capital in the future which could jeopardize our ability to carry out our business plan.

Our capital needs consist primarily of expenses related to geological evaluation, general and administrative and potential exploration participation and could exceed $10,000,000 in the next twelve months. Such funds are not currently committed.

-14-



If we find oil and gas reserves to exist on a prospect we will need substantial additional financing to fund the necessary exploration and development work.  Furthermore, if the results of that exploration and development work are successful, we will need substantial additional funds for continued development.  We will not receive proceeds from this offering to conduct such work and, therefore, we will need to obtain the necessary funds either through debt or equity financing, some form of cost-sharing arrangement with others, or the sale of all or part of the property.  There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any financing.  These various financing alternatives may dilute the interest of our shareholders and/or reduce our interest in the properties. 

We will need additional financing for which we have no commitments, and this may jeopardize execution of our business plan.

We have limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to carry out the business plan in the oil and gas industry.  Our ultimate success depends upon our ability to raise additional capital.  We have not investigated the availability, source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of additional capital and will not do so until it determines a need for additional financing.  If we need additional capital, we have no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to us.  If not available, our operations will be limited to those that can be financed with our modest capital.

We may in the future issue more shares which could cause a loss of control by our present management and current stockholders. 

We may issue further shares as consideration for the cash or assets or services out of our authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance, represent a majority of the voting power and equity of our Company.  The result of such an issuance would be those new stockholders and management would control our Company, and persons unknown could replace our management at this time.  Such an occurrence would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of our Company by our current shareholders, which could present significant risks to investors.

We have warrants and options issued and outstanding which are convertible into our common stock.  A conversion of such equity instruments could have a dilutive effect to existing shareholders.

At March 31, 2015, we have warrants issued and outstanding exercisable into 942,858 shares of our common stock at ranges from $0.10 to $3.50 per share and options issued and outstanding exercisable into 935,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share.  They are exercisable in whole or in part. The exercise of the warrants and/or options into shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to the holdings of our existing shareholders.

We will depend upon management but we may at times have limited participation of management.

Our directors are also acting as our officers. We will be heavily dependent upon their skills, talents, and abilities, as well as several consultants to us, to implement our  business plan, and may, from time to time, find that the inability of the officers, directors and consultants to devote their full-time attention to our business results in a delay in progress toward implementing our business plan.  Consultants may be employed on a part-time basis under a contract to be determined. 

Our directors and officers are, or may become, in their individual capacities, officers, directors, controlling shareholder and/or partners of other entities engaged in a variety of businesses.  Thus, our officers and directors may have potential conflicts including their time and efforts involved in participation with other business entities.  Each officer and director of our business may be engaged in business activities outside of our business, and the amount of time they devote as Officers and Directors to our business will be up to 40 hours per week.  Because investors will not be able to manage our business, they should critically assess all of the information concerning our officers and directors.

-15-


We do not know of any reason other than outside business interests that would prevent them from devoting full-time to our Company, when the business may demand such full-time participation.

Our officers and directors may have conflicts of interests as to corporate opportunities which we may not be able or allowed to participate in.

Presently there is no requirement contained in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or minutes which requires officers and directors of our business to disclose to us business opportunities which come to their attention.  Our officers and directors do, however, have a fiduciary duty of loyalty to us to disclose to us any business opportunities which come to their attention, in their capacity as an officer and/or director or otherwise.  Excluded from this duty would be opportunities which the person learns about through his involvement as an officer and director of another company.

We have agreed to indemnification of officers and directors as is provided by Colorado Statute.

Colorado Revised Statutes provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities our behalf.  We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person's promise to repay us therefore if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification.  This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us that we will be unable to recoup.

Our directors' liability to us and shareholders is limited

Colorado Revised Statutes exclude personal liability of our directors and our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty except in certain specified circumstances.  Accordingly, we will have a much more limited right of action against our directors than otherwise would be the case.  This provision does not affect the liability of any director under federal or applicable state securities laws.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

Our business, the oil and gas business has numerous risks which could render us unsuccessful.

 

The search for new oil and gas reserves frequently results in unprofitable efforts, not only from dry holes, but also from wells which, though productive, will not produce oil or gas in sufficient quantities to return a profit on the costs incurred.  There is no assurance we will find or produce oil or gas from any of the wells we have acquired or which may be acquired by us, nor are there any assurances that if we ever obtain any production it will be profitable. 

We have substantial competitors who have an advantage over us in resources and management.

We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the oil and gas business.  Most of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than us and, consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying and developing or exploring suitable prospects.   Competitor's resources could overwhelm our restricted efforts to acquire and explore oil and gas prospects and cause failure of our business plan.

We will be subject to all of the market forces in the energy business, many of which could pose a significant risk to our operations.

The marketing of natural gas and oil which may be produced by our prospects will be affected by a number of factors beyond our control.  These factors include the extent of the supply of oil or gas in the market, the availability of competitive fuels, crude oil imports, the world-wide political situation, price regulation, and other

-16-


factors.  Current economic and market conditions have created dramatic fluctuations in oil prices.  Any significant decrease in the market prices of oil and gas could materially affect our profitability of oil and gas activities.

There generally are only a limited number of gas transmission companies with existing pipelines in the vicinity of a gas well or wells.  In the event that producing gas properties are not subject to purchase contracts or that any such contracts terminate and other parties do not purchase our gas production, there is assurance that we will be able to enter into purchase contracts with any transmission companies or other purchasers of natural gas and there can be no assurance regarding the price which such purchasers would be willing to pay for such gas.  There may, on occasion, be an oversupply of gas in the marketplace or in pipelines; the extent and duration may affect prices adversely.  Such oversupply may result in reductions of purchases and prices paid to producers by principal gas pipeline purchasers.  (See "Our Business and Competition, Markets, Regulation and Taxation.")

We believe investors should consider certain negative aspects of our operations.

Dry Holes: We may expend substantial funds acquiring and potentially participating in exploring properties which we later determine not to be productive.  All funds so expended will be a total loss to us.

Technical Assistance:  We will find it necessary to employ technical assistance in the operation of our business.  As of the date of this Prospectus, we have not contracted for any technical assistance.  When we need it such assistance is likely to be available at compensation levels we would be able to pay.

Uncertainty of Title:  We will attempt to acquire leases or interests in leases by option, lease, farmout or by purchase.  The validity of title to oil and gas property depends upon numerous circumstances and factual matters (many of which are not discoverable of record or by other readily available means) and is subject to many uncertainties of existing law and our application. 

Government Regulations:  The area of exploration of natural resources has become significantly regulated by state and federal governmental agencies, and such regulation could have an adverse effect on our operations.  Compliance with statutes and regulations governing the oil and gas industry could significantly increase the capital expenditures necessary to develop our prospects.

Nature of our BusinessOur business is highly speculative, involves the commitment of high-risk capital, and exposes us to potentially substantial losses.  In addition, we will be in direct competition with other organizations which are significantly better financed and staffed than we are.

General Economic and Other Conditions:  Our business may be adversely affected from time to time by such matters as changes in general economic, industrial and international conditions; changes in taxes; oil and gas prices and costs; excess supplies and other factors of a general nature.

Our business is subject to significant weather interruptions.

Our activities may be subject to periodic interruptions due to weather conditions.  Weather-imposed restrictions during certain times of the year on roads accessing properties could adversely affect our ability to benefit from production on such properties or could increase the costs of drilling new wells because of delays.

-17-


Reserve estimates depend on many assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate. Any material inaccuracies in these reserve estimates or underlying assumptions will materially affect the quantities and present value of our reserves. The Company's current estimates of reserves could change, potentially in material amounts, in the future, in particular due to the recent significant decline in commodity prices.

The process of estimating crude oil and natural gas reserves is complex and inherently imprecise. It requires interpretation of available technical data and many assumptions, including assumptions relating to current and future economic conditions, production rates, drilling and operating expenses, and commodity prices. Any significant inaccuracy in these interpretations or assumptions could materially affect our estimated quantities and present value of our reserves. See Part I, Item 2 for information about our estimated crude oil and natural gas reserves, PV-10, and Standardized Measure of discounted future net cash flows as of May 31, 2015.

In order to prepare reserve estimates, we must project production rates and the amount and timing of development expenditures. Our booked proved undeveloped reserves must be developed within five years from the date of initial booking under SEC reserve rules. Changes in the timing of development plans that impact our ability to develop such reserves in the required time frame could result in fluctuations in reserves between periods as reserves booked in one period may need to be removed in a subsequent period.

We must also analyze available geological, geophysical, production and engineering data in preparing reserve estimates. The extent, quality and reliability of this data can vary with the uncertainty of decline curves and the ability to model heterogeneity of the porosity, permeability and pressure relationships in unconventional resources. The process also requires economic assumptions, based on historical data but projected into the future, about matters such as crude oil and natural gas prices, drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and availability of funds.

The prices used in calculating our estimated proved reserves are, in accordance with SEC requirements, calculated by determining the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month commodity prices for the preceding 12 months. Commodity prices declined significantly in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2014 and the first quarter of calendar year 2015 and if such prices do not increase significantly, our future calculations of estimated proved reserves will be based on lower commodity prices which could result in our having to remove non-economic reserves from our proved reserves in future periods.

Actual future production, crude oil and natural gas prices, revenues, taxes, development expenditures, operating expenses and quantities of recoverable crude oil and natural gas reserves will vary and could vary significantly from our estimates. Any significant variance could materially affect the estimated quantities and present value of our reserves, which in turn could have an adverse effect on the value of our assets. In addition, we may adjust estimates of proved reserves, potentially in material amounts, to reflect production history, results of exploration and development, prevailing crude oil and natural gas prices and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

 The present value of future net revenues from our proved reserves will not necessarily be the same as the current market value of our estimated crude oil and natural gas reserves and, in particular, may be reduced due to the recent significant decline in commodity prices.

You should not assume the present value of future net revenues from our proved reserves is the current market value of our estimated crude oil and natural gas reserves. In accordance with SEC rules, we base the estimated discounted future net revenues from proved reserves on the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month commodity prices for the preceding twelve months. Actual future prices may be materially higher or lower than the SEC pricing used in the calculations. Actual future net revenues from crude oil and natural gas properties will be affected by factors such as:

-18-



-           the actual prices we receive for sales of crude oil and natural gas;

-           the actual cost and timing of development and production expenditures;

-           the timing and amount of actual production; and

-           changes in governmental regulations or taxation.

The timing of both our production and our incurrence of expenses in connection with the development and production of crude oil and natural gas properties will affect the timing and amount of actual future net revenues from proved reserves, and thus their actual present value. In addition, the 10% discount factor we use when calculating discounted future net revenues may not be the most appropriate discount factor based on interest rates in effect from time to time and risks associated with our reserves or the crude oil and natural gas industry in general.

We may be required to write down the carrying values of our crude oil and natural gas properties if crude oil prices remain at their current levels or decline further.

Accounting rules require that we periodically review the carrying values of our crude oil and natural gas properties for possible impairment. Based on specific market factors, prices, and circumstances at the time of prospective impairment reviews, and the continuing evaluation of development plans, production data, economics and other factors, we may be required to write down the carrying values of our crude oil and natural gas properties. A write-down results in a non-cash charge to earnings. We have incurred impairment charges in the past and may incur additional impairment charges in the future, particularly if crude oil prices remain at their currently low levels or decline further, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the periods in which such charges are taken

We are subject to significant operating hazards and uninsured risk in the energy industry.

Our proposed operations will be subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incident to exploring, drilling for and producing oil and gas, such as encountering unusual or unexpected formations and pressures, blowouts, environmental pollution and personal injury.  We will maintain general liability insurance but we have not obtained insurance against such things as blowouts and pollution risks because of the prohibitive expense.  Should we sustain an uninsured loss or liability, or a loss in excess of policy limits, our ability to operate may be materially adversely affected.

We are subject to Federal Income Tax laws and changes therein which could adversely impact us.

Federal income tax laws are of particular significance to the oil and gas industry in which we engage.  Legislation has eroded various benefits of oil and gas producers and subsequent legislation could continue this trend.  Congress is continually considering proposals with respect to Federal income taxation which could have a material adverse effect on our future operations and on our ability to obtain risk capital which our industry has traditionally attracted from taxpayers in high tax brackets.

We are subject to substantial government regulation in the energy industry which could adversely impact us.

The production and sale of oil and gas are subject to regulation by state and federal authorities, the spacing of wells and the prevention of waste.  There are both federal and state laws regarding environmental controls which may necessitate significant capital outlays, resulting in extended delays, materially affect our earnings potential and cause material changes in the in our  proposed business.  We cannot predict what legislation, if any, may be passed by Congress or state legislatures in the future, or the effect of such legislation, if any, on us.  Such regulations may have a significant affect on our operating results. 

-19-



RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR STOCK

The regulation of penny stocks by SEC and FINRA may discourage the tradability of our securities.

We are a "penny stock" company.  Our securities are subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors.  For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000, excluding the primary residence, or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000).  For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale.  Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in penny stocks.  Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.

In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate "penny stocks".  Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities.  The rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.  Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses.  Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.  Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

We will pay no foreseeable dividends in the future.

We have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not ever anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.

Our investors may suffer future dilution due to issuances of shares for various considerations in the future.

There may be substantial dilution to our shareholders purchasing in this Offering as a result of future decisions of the Board to issue shares without shareholder approval for cash, services, or acquisitions.

At March 31, 2015, we have warrants issued and outstanding exercisable into 942,858 shares of our common stock at ranges from $0.10 to $3.50 per share.  In addition, we have options exercisable into 935,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.10 per share.  The warrants and options are exercisable in whole or in part.  The exercise of the warrants and/or options into shares of our common stock could have a dilutive effect to the holdings of our existing shareholders.

Rule 144 sales in the future may have a depressive effect on our stock price.

All of the outstanding shares of common stock held by our present officers, directors, and affiliate stockholders are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  As restricted Shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under

-20-


the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws.  Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for six months, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a company's outstanding common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale.  There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a nonaffiliate after the owner has held the restricted securities for a period of six month.  A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in any market that may develop.

Our common stock may be volatile, which substantially increases the risk that you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price that you may pay for the shares.

Because of the limited trading market for our common stock and because of the possible price volatility, you may not be able to sell your shares of common stock when you desire to do so.  The inability to sell your shares in a rapidly declining market may substantially increase your risk of loss because of such illiquidity and because the price for our Securities may suffer greater declines because of our price volatility.

The price of our common stock that will prevail in the market after this offering may be higher or lower than the price you may pay.  Certain factors, some of which are beyond our control, that may cause our share price to fluctuate significantly include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Variations in our quarterly operating results;
  • Loss of a key relationship or failure to complete significant transactions;
  • Additions or departures of key personnel; and
  • Fluctuations in stock market price and volume.

Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, and the over-the-counter markets in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations.  In some cases, these fluctuations are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company.  These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating performance.  In the past, class action litigation often has been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of those companies common stock.  If we become involved in this type of litigation in the future, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative effect on your investment in our stock.

Any new potential investors will suffer a disproportionate risk and there will be immediate dilution of existing investor's investments.

Our present shareholders have acquired their securities at a cost significantly less than that which the investors purchasing pursuant to shares will pay for their stock holdings or at which future purchasers in the market may pay.  Therefore, any new potential investors will bear most of the risk of loss. 

Our business is highly speculative and the investment is therefore risky.

Due to the speculative nature of our business, it is probable that the investment in shares offered hereby will result in a total loss to the investor.  Investors should be able to financially bear the loss of their entire investment. Investment should, therefore, be limited to that portion of discretionary funds not needed for normal living purposes or for reserves for disability and retirement.

OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES.

Our oil and natural gas properties are located in the states of Wyoming, Nebraska and Utah.

Title to Properties

As is customary in the oil and natural gas industry, we generally conduct a preliminary title examination prior to the acquisition of properties or leasehold interests. Prior to commencement of operations on such acreage, a thorough title examination will usually be conducted and any significant defects will be remedied before proceeding with operations. We believe the title to our leasehold properties is good, defensible and customary with practices in the oil and natural gas industry, subject to such exceptions that we believe do not materially detract from the use of such properties. With respect to our properties of which we are not the record owner, we rely instead on contracts with the owner or operator of the property or assignment of leases, pursuant to which, among other things, we generally have the right to have our interest placed on record.

Our properties are generally subject to royalty, overriding royalty and other interests customary in the industry, liens incident to agreements, current taxes and other burdens, minor encumbrances, easements and restrictions. We do not believe any of these burdens will materially interfere with our use of these properties.

Summary of Oil and Natural Gas Reserves

The following disclosures for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 includes only those reserves attributable to those located in Fremont, Hot Springs and Park Counties in Wyoming, which are part of the Western Interior acquisition.

Any reserves attributable to our Nebraska, Burke Ranch, Wyoming, Cole Creek, Wyoming and certain undeveloped properties at Western Interior and the Mondo, Utah project were not considered in the reserve report, as all properties are undeveloped at this time.

Proved developed oil reserves are reserves that can be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.  Proved undeveloped oil reserves are reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those directly offsetting development spacing and in areas that are reasonably certainty of economic productivity at greater distances. 

Probable oil reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves are likely as not to be recovered.

Possible oil reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered that probable reserves.

Estimates of proved developed and undeveloped reserves are inherently imprecise and are continually subject to revision based on production history, results of additional exploration and development, price and production cost changes and other factors. See "- Qualifications of Technical Persons and Internal Controls Over Reserves Estimation Process."

Our internal staff of geoscience professionals who work closely with our independent petroleum engineer to ensure the integrity, accuracy and timeliness of data furnished to them in their reserves estimation process.  We review with them our properties and discuss methods and assumptions used in their preparation of our fiscal year-end reserves estimates. While we have no formal committee specifically designated to review reserves reporting and the reserves estimation process, a copy of each of the NSAI reserve report is reviewed with representatives of NSAI and our internal technical staff before we disseminate any of the information. Additionally, our senior management reviews and approves the final reserve report and any significant internally estimated changes to our proved reserves on an annual basis.

Estimates of oil and natural gas reserves are projections based on a process involving an independent third party engineering firm's collection of all required geologic, geophysical, engineering and economic data, and such firm's complete external preparation of all required estimates and are forward-looking in nature. These reports rely upon various assumptions, including assumptions required by the SEC, such as constant oil and natural gas prices, operating expenses and future capital costs. The process also requires assumptions relating to availability of funds and timing of capital expenditures for development of our proved undeveloped reserves. These reports should not be construed as the current market value of our reserves. The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves is also dependent on geological, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. Because of the uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of this data, we cannot be certain that the reserves will ultimately be realized. Our actual results could differ materially. See "Note 13 - Supplemental Information Relating to Oil and Natural Gas Producing Activities (Unaudited)" to our audited consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our oil and natural gas reserves.

Under SEC rules, proved reserves are those quantities of oil and natural gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations. The term "reasonable certainty" implies a high degree of confidence that the quantities of oil and/or natural gas actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. To achieve reasonable certainty, NSAI employs technologies consistent with the standards established by the Society of Petroleum Engineers. The technologies and economic data used in the estimation of our proved reserves include, but are not limited to, well logs, geologic maps and available downhole and production data, seismic data and well test data.

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

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking  statements are

-28-


necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently  subject to significant  business,  economic and competitive uncertainties and  contingencies,  many of which are beyond our control and many of which,  with  respect to future  business  decisions,  are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by, or on our behalf.  We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements. 

The independent registered public accounting firm's report on the Company's financial statements as of March 31, 2015, and for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, includes a "going concern" explanatory paragraph, that describes substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. 

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

We are an energy company, focused on the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas.  We have acquired oil and natural gas properties located in the western United States, mainly in the Rocky Mountain region. Our goal is to drill and produce oil and gas cost effectively, by concentrating our efforts in proven oil rich areas where we have in-house geologic and operating experience.

Prior to August 2014, we had minimal operations that were focused mainly on administrative activities, the identification of potential oil and gas prospects, and one prospect participation in Colorado that was rescinded in June 2014.

Our approach is to acquire Proven Developed Producing properties that are also de-risk.   The ideal candidate will also include Proven Undeveloped well sites, which should supply upside development potential, ("running room.")  Specifically, properties that have the advantage of having established producing oil and/or natural gas wells that have drillable offset locations and have wells that may be shut-in but are candidates for re-working or re-completion, are high priority acquisition targets.

 

Our acquisition strategy also takes older wells that are shut in or have lower production results and applies new and existing technologies to work-over and/or recomplete so as to increase production and ultimate recovery.  Technologies to be deployed include 3-D seismic imaging to target undeveloped areas of the reservoir that contain remaining primary reserves; horizontal drilling to increase recoveries; as well as secondary and tertiary recovery methods to increase ultimate produced reserves.

On December 22, 2014, we entered into the Exchange Agreements with the Terex shareholders for 100% of the shares of Terex. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, we agreed to issue 7,385,700 shares of our restricted common stock for 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Terex. The shares are to be exchanged on a one for one basis. As a result, Terex became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as previously discussed in Item 1 of this Filing.  As a result of our acquisition of Terex, we acquired oil and gas properties and projects in Wyoming, Nebraska and Utah.

In line with that strategy on March 28, 2015 we closed on the acquisition of Western Interior, as our wholly-owned subsidiary.  Western Interior has producing and developmental oil and gas properties in southwest central Wyoming.

 

During the remainder of 2015, management intends to focus efforts on not only the exploration of existing properties, but also additional acquisitions to grow production.

 

Financing Efforts

On April 26, 2015, we entered into a Subscription Agreement for the purchase of shares of its restricted common stock pursuant to Regulation S.  As of June 30, 2015, we have received $800,000 in funds and are obligated to issue 372,094 shares of its restricted common stock.  The Company intends to use such funds to support ongoing operations.

-29-



We will require substantial additional capital to support our existing and proposed future operations.  We have only during the second calendar quarter of 2015, started realizing reoccurring and consistent revenue, although insufficient to fully support current operations.  We have no committed source for any additional funds as of the date hereof.  No representation is made that any funds will be available when needed.  In the event funds cannot be raised when needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan, may never achieve sales or royalty income, and could fail in business as a result of these uncertainties.

 

Decisions regarding future prospect acquisitions or other participation activities will be made on a case-by-case basis.  We may, in any particular case, decide to participate or decline participation.  If participating, we may pay our proportionate share of costs to maintain our proportionate interest through cash flow or debt or equity financing.  If participation is declined, we may elect to farmout, non-consent, sell or otherwise negotiate a method of cost sharing in order to maintain some continuing interest in the prospect.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the Year Ended March 31, 2015 Compared to the Year Ended March 31, 2014

During the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not recognize any revenues from its oil and gas operations.  The Company as a result of the Western Interior acquisition, has begun to recognize revenues during the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 and intends to grow revenue through its acquisition strategy.

During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized total operating expenses of $11,043,602 compared to $13,431 during the year ended March 31, 2014.  The increase of $11,030,171 was primarily a result of increased operational activity resulting from our acquisition of Terex in December 2014. The primary component of operating expenses was the $7,814,365 asset  impairment which included the impairment of goodwill in the amount of $7,780,336 as part of the Western Interior acquisition. This is a one time charge.  In addition, we incurred exploration expense of $1,444,742 that included the costs in the amount of $1,360,119 for the drilling of two dry wells in Utah. During the year ended March 31, 2015, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $1,744,263, consisting of $969,707 in equity based compensation.

During the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recognized net losses of $11,043,541 and $13,431, respectively.  The increase of $11,030,110 was a result of the increases in operational expenses discussed above.

LIQUIDITY

At March 31, 2015, we had total current assets of $769,140, consisting of $636,542 in cash and cash equivalents, $35,660 in accounts receivable, a $50,000 loan to an affiliate and $46,938 in prepaid expenses.  At March 31, 2015, we had total current liabilities of $2,759,243, consisting of $660,901 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $163,389 in current asset retirement obligations and $1,934,953 in notes payables.  At March 31, 2015, we had a working capital deficit of $1,990,103.

During the year ended March 31, 2015, we used $884,951 in operations.  During the year ended March 31, 2015, we incurred a net loss of $11,043,541 that was reconciled for non-cash items consisting of $10,143 in depreciation and amortization, a $1,360,119 dry hole expenses and a $7,814,365 impairment charge and equity based compensation of $969,707.

During the year ended March 31, 2015, we used $9,590 in operations.  During the year ended March 31, 2014, we recognized a net loss of $13,431, which was reconciled for non-cash items consisting of $3,710 in equity based compensation.

During the year ended March 31, 2015, we used $851,825 in investing activities compared to nil during the year ended March 31, 2014.  During the year ended March 31, 2015, we expended $1,817,527 in additions to oil and gas properties and $42,510 in additions to non-oil and gas properties.  As part of the acquisitions of Terex and Western Interior, we received cash of $966,027 and $103,771, respectively.  We used $11,586 to make additions to other assets.

-30-



During the year ended March 31, 2015, we received $2,207,603 from our financing activities compared to $175,305 during the year ended March 31, 2014. 

At March 31, 2015, in connection with the Western Interior acquisition we assumed five promissory notes in the amount of $1,770,047 as part of agreements relative to the repurchase of 33,085 shares of Western Interior common stock owned by dissident shareholders and these notes are collateralized by certain oil and properties of Western Interior.

The Company has a line-of-credit with a bank in the amount of $350,000 collateralized by certain oil and gas properties of the Company. The line-of-credit was to mature in May 2015, but has been extended. Annual interest is at prime plus 2.50% with a floor of 7%). The Company owes $144,275 at March 31, 2015.

Installment Notes

The Company in November 2014, borrowed $17,228 from unrelated parties to finance their insurance policies. The unsecured notes are repaid at $2,797 per month including interest at the rate of 5.81% per annum. The Company owes $20,630 at March 31, 2015.

During the year ended March 31, 2015, we sold 20,000 shares of its restricted common stock as part of a private placement for $50,000 in cash or $2.50 per share.

During the year ended March 31, 2015, prior to our acquisition of Terex, shareholders of Terex as part of a private placement contributed cash in the amount of $2,195,700 in exchange for 2,195,700 shares of Terex common stock valued at $1.00 per share. In addition, shareholders of Terex contributed services that were expensed at $950,000 in exchange for 950,000 shares of Terex.

Short Term.

On a short-term basis, we have not generated revenues sufficient to cover operations.  Based on prior history, we will continue to have insufficient revenue to satisfy current and recurring liabilities as the Company continues exploration activities. 

Capital Resources

The Company has only common stock as its capital resource.

We have no material commitments for capital expenditures within the next year, however if operations are commenced, substantial capital will be needed to pay for participation, investigation, exploration, acquisition and working capital.

Need for Additional Financing 

We do not have capital sufficient to meet its cash needs.  The Company will have to seek loans or equity placements to cover such cash needs.  Once exploration commences, its needs for additional financing is likely to increase substantially.

No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by the Company's management or other stockholders.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any additional funds will be available to us to allow us to cover the Company's expenses as they may be incurred.

The Company will need substantial additional capital to support its proposed future energy operations.  We have insufficient revenues to cover our corporate costs.  The Company has no committed source for any funds as of the date hereof.  No representation is made that any funds will be available when needed.  In the event funds cannot be raised when needed, we may not be able to carry out our business plan, may never achieve sufficient sales or royalty income, and could fail in business as a result of these uncertainties.

 

-31-



Decisions regarding future participation in exploration wells or geophysical studies or other activities will be made on a case-by-case basis.  The Company may, in any particular case, decide to participate or decline participation.  If participating, we may pay the proportionate share of costs to maintain the Company's proportionate interest through cash flow or debt or equity financing.  If participation is declined, the Company may elect to farmout, non-consent, sell or otherwise negotiate a method of cost sharing in order to maintain some continuing interest in the prospect.

Critical Accounting Policies

Oil and Gas Producing Activities

The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas activities.  Under this method, the costs of productive exploratory wells, all development wells, related asset retirement obligation assets, and productive leases are capitalized and amortized, principally by field, on a units-of-production basis over the life of the remaining proved reserves.  Exploration costs, including personnel costs, geological and geophysical expenses, and delay rentals for oil and gas leases are charged to expense as incurred.  Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized, but charged to expense if and when the well is determined not to have found reserves in commercial quantities.  The sale of a partial interest in a proved property is accounted for as a cost recovery, and no gain or loss is recognized as long as this treatment does not significantly affect the units-of-production amortization rate.  A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of producing properties. There were capitalized costs of $10,003,625 and $0 at March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Unproved oil and gas properties are assessed annually to determine whether they have been impaired by the drilling of dry holes on or near the related acreage or other circumstances, which may indicate a decline in value.  When impairment occurs, a loss is recognized.  When leases for unproved properties expire, the costs thereof, net of any related allowance for impairment, is removed from the accounts and charged to expense. During the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no impairment to unproved properties. The sale of a partial interest in an unproved property is accounted for as a recovery of cost when substantial uncertainty exists as to the ultimate recovery of the cost applicable to the interest retained.  A gain on the sale is recognized to the extent that the sales price exceeds the carrying amount of the unproved property.  A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of unproved properties. There were capitalized costs of $8,187,991 and $19,564 at March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Costs associated with development wells that are unevaluated or are waiting on access to transportation or processing facilities are reclassified into developmental wells-in-progress ("WIP"). These costs are not put into a depletable field basis until the wells are fully evaluated or access is gained to transportation and processing facilities.  Costs associated with WIP are included in the cash flows from investing as part of investment in oil and gas properties.  At March 31, 2015 and 2014, no capitalized developmental costs were included in WIP.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization of proved oil and gas properties is calculated using the units-of-production method based on proved reserves and estimated salvage values. For the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded no depreciation, depletion and amortization expense on oil and gas properties.

The Company reviews its proved oil and natural gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that a decline in the recoverability of its carrying value may have occurred. It estimates the undiscounted future net cash flows of its oil and natural gas properties and compares such undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas properties to determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the Company will adjust the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas properties to fair value. There was no impairment to proved properties for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

-32-



Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, as set forth in Topic 360 of the ASC, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its non-oil and gas long-lived assets when events occur that indicate an impairment in value may exist. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company had no revenue from operations during the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Business Combination

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with guidance found in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The guidance requires consideration given, including contingent consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be valued at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The guidance further provides that acquisition costs will generally be expenses as incurred and changes in deferred tax asset valuations and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.

ASC 805 requires that any excess of purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, including identifiable intangibles and liabilities assumed be recognized as goodwill and any excess of fair value of acquired net assets, including identifiable intangible assets over the acquisition consideration results in a gain from bargain purchase. Prior to recording a gain, the acquiring entity must reassess whether ass acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been identified and recognized and perform re-measurements to verify that the consideration paid, assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been properly valued.

Goodwill

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, goodwill cannot be amortized, however, it must be tested annually for impairment.  This impairment test is calculated at the reporting unit level.  The goodwill impairment test has two steps.  The first identifies potential impairments by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its book value, including goodwill.  If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired and the second step is not necessary.  If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the second step calculates the possible impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount.  If the implied goodwill is less than the carrying amount, a write-down is recorded.  Management tests goodwill each year for impairment, or when facts or circumstances indicate impairment has occurred.  See Note 3 - Fair Value Measurement.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our operations do not employ financial instruments or derivatives which are market sensitive.  Short term funds are held in non-interest bearing accounts and funds held for longer periods are placed in interest bearing accounts.  Large amounts of funds, if available, will be distributed among multiple financial institutions to reduce risk of loss.   The Company's cash holdings do not generate interest income.

Management, consisting of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the same individual) after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(c) as of March 31, 2015 (the "Evaluation Date") concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company would be made known to them by individuals within those entities, particularly during the period in which this annual report was being prepared and that information required to be disclosed in the Company's SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, as discussed further below.

T-Rex's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company in accordance with as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.  The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(1)     pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company's assets;

(2)     provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company's receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of T-Rex's management and directors; and

(3)     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 T-Rex's financial statements.

We have identified certain material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting relating to a shortage of accounting and reporting personnel due to limited financial resources and the size of our Company, as detailed below:

(1)     The Company currently does not have, but is in the process of developing formally documented accounting policies and procedures, which includes establishing a well-defined process for financial reporting. 

(2)     Due to the limited size of our accounting department, we currently lack the resources to handle complex accounting transaction.  We believe this deficiency could lead to errors in the presentation and disclosure of financial information in our annual, quarterly, and other filings.

 

-34-


 

(3)     As is the case with many companies of similar size, we currently a lack of segregation of duties in the accounting department.  Until our operations expand and additional cash flow is generated from operations, a complete segregation of duties within our accounting function will not be possible.

Considering the nature and extent of our current operations and any risks or errors in financial reporting under current operations and the fact that we have been a small business with limited employees, such items caused a weakness in internal controls involving the areas disclosed above.

We have concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of March 31, 2015, due to the existence of the material weaknesses noted above that we have yet to fully remediate.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to permanent rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014

 

 -50-



REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of T-Rex Oil, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of T-Rex Oil, Inc. ("the Company") as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statement of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flow for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. 

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of T-Rex Oil, Inc., as of  March 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company's significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

T-REX OIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Formerly Rancher Energy Corp)

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2015 And 2014

Note 1 - Organization and History

T-Rex Oil, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Colorado on September 2, 2014. Rancher Energy Corp was incorporated in Nevada on February 2, 2004. Effective October 20, 2014, T-Rex Oil, Inc. and Rancher Energy Corp were merged under the laws of the State of Colorado and T-Rex Oil, Inc. became the surviving entity. Effective October 29, 2014, the Company authorized 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in addition to its common stock and completed a reverse split of its common stock, issued and outstanding, on a one (1) new share for three hundred fifty (350) old shares basis.

The Company is currently engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and if warranted, development of oil and gas prospects in the Rocky Mountain and Mid Continent regions. Prior to August 2014, the Company had minimal operations that were focused mainly on administrative activities, the identification of potential oil and gas prospects and one prospect participation in Colorado that was rescinded in June 2014.

On December 22, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Terex Energy Corporation ("Terex") pursuant to Exchange Agreements with the shareholders of Terex. Terex was incorporated in the State of Colorado in February 2014 and is headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Company issued 7,385,700 shares of its restricted common stock for 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Terex. The shares were exchanged on a one for one basis. As a result, Terex has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. T-Rex Oil, Inc. is the legal acquirer and Terex is the legal acquiree. However under accounting rules, since the Company is a public company, which had nominal activity, the acquisition is treated as a recapitalization of Terex. Therefore, Terex is the accounting acquirer in the transaction since Terex's shareholders and management gained control of T-Rex Oil, Inc. and T-Rex Oil, Inc. is the accounting acquiree. On August 19, 2014, prior to entering into the Exchange Agreements, Terex had purchased 371,004 shares from the Company. After such purchase, Terex owned approximately 52% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. As part of the December 22, 2014 transaction, Terex surrendered its ownership of the 371,004 shares of T-Rex Oil, Inc. common stock and as a result such shares have been canceled.

On February 24, 2015, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Western Interior Oil & Gas Corporation, a Wyoming private oil and natural gas company ("WIOG") and the shareholders of WIOG.  Under the Share Exchange Agreement the Company exchanged 7,465,168 shares of its restricted common stock for 170,878 shares of the issued and outstanding common stock of WIOG thereby owning 83% of WIOG. The acquisition was closed on March 27, 2014 and became effective March 31, 2015. In addition, the Company agreed to appoint two nominees of WIOG to the Company's Board of Directors at a future date. On March 31, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement whereby the Company assumed certain repurchase agreements between WIOG and its dissident shareholders and as a result acquired the remaining 17% of WIOG. As part of these agreements, the Company assumed certain promissory notes issued to the dissenting shareholders in the total amount of $1,770,047 that are secured by WIOG assets. As a result, WIOG has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Principles of Consolidation.

As a result of these acquisitions, the Company has interests in oil and gas properties that are discussed hereafter and intends to strive to be a low cost and effective producer of hydrocarbons and to develop the business model and corporate strategy as discussed herein. The Company is focused on the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas.  Through acquisition the Company has acquired oil and natural gas properties located in the central and western United States, mainly the Rocky Mountain region.  Our goal is to drill and produce oil and gas cost effectively, by concentrating our efforts in proven oil rich areas where we have in-house geologic and operating experience.  The industry is going through major changes due to the drop in the global price of oil over the past 18 months.  Due the size and scope of expenditures of many exploration and production companies, it is no longer feasible for them to operate and they are no longer

able to service the debt that was incurred to fund these operations without raising additional capital or pledging additional assets.  This and other related events have created opportunities to acquire quality production and leases at value pricing and operate them at a profit within the current pricing environment. 

The Company's strategy that has grown in prominence and application with respect to petroleum is to use a development program approach. The Company describes its development plan approach as a set of techniques utilizing the injection of specific fluids such as: water, steam, natural gas, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and various chemicals and surfactants intended to increase the amount of oil that can ultimately be extracted from any oil field. Many oil exploration and production companies are using development program approaches to maximize the potential of old oil fields.

The Company's business operations are in the development and production of oil and gas including unconventional natural gas, in the Rocky Mountain region of the continental United States; specifically in the Rocky Mountain areas of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying balance sheet at March 31, 2014 and the statement of operations and the statement of cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2014 include only the accounts of Terex Energy Corporation. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2015 include the accounts of Terex Energy Corporation, T-Rex Oil, Inc. and Western Interior Oil and Gas Corporation and the consolidated statement of operations and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2015 include the accounts of Terex Energy Corporation and the accounts of T-Rex Oil, Inc. for the period December 23, 2014 through March 31, 2015. All intercompany balances have been eliminated during consolidation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the fair value of assets and liabilities, oil and natural gas reserves, income taxes and the valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets, asset retirement obligations and contingencies.

Change in Accounting Principle

The Company disclosed in its unaudited financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30 2014 as filed in its Form 10Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2014 that it changed its method of accounting from the successful efforts to the full cost method of accounting for its oil and natural gas operations and, as such pursuant to ASC Topic 250 and ASC Topic 932 further disclosed there was no retroactive restatement of financial statements for the relative periods as there were no oil and natural gas capitalized costs or operations incurred to date by the Company.

However, as disclosed in the Company's filing of Form 8-K with the SEC on April 1, 2015, the Company acquired 83% of the outstanding common stock of Western Interiors Oil and Gas Corporation on March 28, 2015, effective March 31, 2015, in a stock for stock Exchange Agreement. As such, WIOG is an oil and gas company that follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas operations.

Therefore, management believes it is in the best interest of the Company that, as a result of the acquisition of WIOG, the Company changes the accounting for its oil and gas operations back to the successful efforts from the full cost method of accounting. As a result of this change in accounting principle, there was no change

T-REX OIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Formerly Rancher Energy Corp)

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2015 And 2014

in the carrying amount of its oil and gas properties on its balance sheet at March 31, 2014 or in its statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2014.

Cash and Cash Equivalents                                                                                                           

The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and money market funds carried at cost which approximates fair value.  The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), although such deposits are in excess of the insurance coverage.  At March 31, 2015, the Company had $100,053 of cash deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits.

Oil and Gas Producing Activities

The Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas activities.  Under this method, the costs of productive exploratory wells, all development wells, related asset retirement obligation assets, and productive leases are capitalized and amortized, principally by field, on a units-of-production basis over the life of the remaining proved reserves.  Exploration costs, including personnel costs, geological and geophysical expenses, and delay rentals for oil and gas leases are charged to expense as incurred.  Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized, but charged to expense if and when the well is determined not to have found reserves in commercial quantities.  The sale of a partial interest in a proved property is accounted for as a cost recovery, and no gain or loss is recognized as long as this treatment does not significantly affect the units-of-production amortization rate.  A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of producing properties. There were capitalized costs of $10,003,625 and $0 at March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Unproved oil and gas properties are assessed annually to determine whether they have been impaired by the drilling of dry holes on or near the related acreage or other circumstances, which may indicate a decline in value.  When impairment occurs, a loss is recognized.  When leases for unproved properties expire, the costs thereof, net of any related allowance for impairment, is removed from the accounts and charged to expense. During the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no impairment to unproved properties. The sale of a partial interest in an unproved property is accounted for as a recovery of cost when substantial uncertainty exists as to the ultimate recovery of the cost applicable to the interest retained.  A gain on the sale is recognized to the extent that the sales price exceeds the carrying amount of the unproved property.  A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of unproved properties. There were capitalized costs of $8,087,991 and $19,564 at March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Costs associated with development wells that are unevaluated or are waiting on access to transportation or processing facilities are reclassified into developmental wells-in-progress ("WIP"). These costs are not put into a depletable field basis until the wells are fully evaluated or access is gained to transportation and processing facilities.  Costs associated with WIP are included in the cash flows from investing as part of investment in oil and gas properties.  At March 31, 2015 and 2014, no capitalized developmental costs were included in WIP.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization of proved oil and gas properties is calculated using the units-of-production method based on proved reserves and estimated salvage values. For the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded no depreciation, depletion and amortization expense on oil and gas properties.

The Company reviews its proved oil and natural gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that a decline in the recoverability of its carrying value may have occurred. It estimates the undiscounted future net cash flows of its oil and natural gas properties and compares such undiscounted future

-58-



T-REX OIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Formerly Rancher Energy Corp)

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2015 And 2014

cash flows to the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas properties to determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the Company will adjust the carrying amount of the oil and natural gas properties to fair value. There was no impairment to proved properties for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Other Property and Equipment

Other property and equipment, such as computer hardware and software, are recorded at cost. Costs of renewals and improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred. When other property and equipment is sold or retired, the capitalized costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts. Depreciation expense of other property and equipment for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $10,143 and $0, respectively.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company records estimated future asset retirement obligations ("ARO") related to its oil and gas properties.  The Company records the estimated fair value of a liability for ARO in the period in which it is incurred with a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset.  The increased carrying value is depleted using the units-of-production method, and the discounted liability is increased through accretion over the remaining life of the respective oil and gas properties.

The estimated liability is based on historical industry experience in abandoning wells, including estimated economic lives, external estimates as to the cost to abandon the wells in the future, and federal and state regulatory requirements.  The Company's liability is discounted using management's best estimate of its credit-adjusted, risk-free rate.  Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in estimated abandonment costs, changes in well economic lives, or if federal or state regulators enact new requirements regarding the abandonment of wells. 

A reconciliation of the changes in the Company's liability is as follows:

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, as set forth in Topic 360 of the ASC, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its non-oil and gas long-lived assets when events occur that indicate an impairment in value may exist. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company had no revenue from operations during the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

T-REX OIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2015 And 2014

Other Comprehensive Loss

The Company has no material components of other comprehensive loss and accordingly, net loss is equal to comprehensive loss for the period.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the accounting bases and the tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

The Company's deferred income taxes include certain future tax benefits.  The Company records a valuation allowance against any portion of those deferred income tax assets when it believes, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

The Company has adopted ASC guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements and applies to all income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the consolidated financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement. At March 31, 2015, there were no uncertain tax positions that required accrual.

Business Combination

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with guidance found in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The guidance requires consideration given, including contingent consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be valued at their fair values at the date of acquisition. The guidance further provides that acquisition costs will generally be expenses as incurred and changes in deferred tax asset valuations and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense.

ASC 805 requires that any excess of purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, including identifiable intangibles and liabilities assumed be recognized as goodwill and any excess of fair value of acquired net assets, including identifiable intangible assets over the acquisition consideration results in a gain from bargain purchase. Prior to recording a gain, the acquiring entity must reassess whether ass acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been identified and recognized and perform re-measurements to verify that the consideration paid, assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been properly valued.

Goodwill

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, goodwill cannot be amortized, however, it must be tested annually for impairment.  This impairment test is calculated at the reporting unit level.  The goodwill impairment test has two steps.  The first identifies potential impairments by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its book value, including goodwill.  If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired and the second step is not necessary.  If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the second step calculates the possible impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of

-60-



T-REX OIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Formerly Rancher Energy Corp)

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2015 And 2014

goodwill with the carrying amount.  If the implied goodwill is less than the carrying amount, a write-down is recorded.  Management tests goodwill each year for impairment, or when facts or circumstances indicate impairment has occurred.  See Note 3 - Fair Value Measurement.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per common share of stock is calculated by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period.

Diluted net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, including the effect of other dilutive securities. The Company's potentially dilutive securities consist of in-the-money outstanding options and warrants to purchase the Company's common stock. Diluted net loss per common share does not give effect to dilutive securities as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The treasury stock method is used to measure the dilutive impact of stock options and warrants. The following table details the weighted-average dilutive and anti-dilutive securities related to stock options and warrants for the periods presented:

Equity Based Payments

The Company recognizes compensation cost for equity based awards based on estimated fair value of the award and records capitalized cost or compensation expense over the requisite service period. See Note 8 - Equity Based Payments.

Major Customers

The Company has no operations during the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 and as a result there are no customers or billings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As part of its ongoing business, the Company has not participated in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (SPEs), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. From its incorporation on February 11, 2014 through March 31, 201, the Company has not been involved in any unconsolidated SPE transactions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic915) - Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. This standard update is to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements for development stage entities, and as a result removes all incremental financial reporting requirements. This standard update also eliminates an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of the investment equity that is at risk. ASU 2014-10 is effective for annual

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2015 And 2014

reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Entities are allowed to apply the guidance early for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity's financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted these standards and they did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Update No. 2014-15 - Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern that requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the entity's financial statements are issued, or within one year after the date that the entity's financial statements are available to be issued, and to provide disclosures when certain criteria are met. This guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing its impact, but does not currently believe it will have a material effect on the Company's financial statements or disclosures.

There were other accounting standards and interpretations issued during the year ended March 31, 2015, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flows.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events and transactions after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. 

Note 3 - Going Concern and Managements' Plan

The Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company reported a net loss of $11,043,541 and $13,431 for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $11,056,792 as of March 31, 2015.  At March 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $(1,990,103).

The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to attract additional capital and ultimately, upon its ability to develop future profitable operations.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such financing, or that it will attain positive cash flow from operations.  Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise the Company's operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

The Company applies the authoritative guidance applicable to all financial assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported on a fair value basis, as well as to non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including impairments of proved oil and gas properties and other long-lived assets and AROs initially measured at fair value. The fair value of an asset or liability is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable input are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based on the information available in the circumstances.

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2015 And 2014

Financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are classified within the valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's policy is to recognize transfers in and out of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period in which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer. The Company has consistently applied the valuation techniques discussed below in all periods presented. The hierarchy is organized into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

            Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; or

Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable; or

Level 3: Unobservable pricing inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table presents the Company's non-financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the year ended March 31, 2015 by level within the fair value hierarchy:

Effective March 31, 2015, the Company acquired Western Interior Oil & Gas Corporation and as a result realized goodwill in the amount of $7,780,336. Thus, due to the significance of this event, goodwill was tested under ASC 360 as to its recoverability. Therefore, goodwill is recorded at fair value if impairment is required under the accounting guidance. The Company uses Level 2 inputs and the income valuation techniques of undiscounted oil and gas future net cash flows to measure the fair value of goodwill and thus the model forecast using standard pricing as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission by the independent engineers of Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. As such, the Company's goodwill was fully impaired during the year ended March 31, 2015 in the amount of $7,780,336 and reported in the consolidated statement of operations. 

Fair value in the initial recognition of other equipment is determined based on the quoted fair value of the vehicle using inputs from valuation techniques used by industry participants. Accordingly, the fair value is based on observable pricing inputs and is considered a Level 2 value measurement. Therefore, the Company's other equipment was written down to its fair value of $22,632 and an impairment during the year ended March 31, 2015 in the amount of $27,368 was reported in the consolidated statement of operations.

Note 5 - Significant Acquisition

Effective March 31, 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Western Interior Oil and Gas Corporation. WIOG is a Wyoming private oil and natural gas company. As a result of the acquisition, the Company has expanded its oil and natural gas reserves. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805.

For Income tax Return Purposes Only

On August 19, 2014, Terex Energy Corporation acquired 52% of the outstanding common stock of T-Rex Oil Inc. and thus T-Rex had a change of control event under IRC section 382, which will limit T-Rex's ability to utilize its deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, to offset future taxable income.  T-Rex has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $42,000,000 which will begin to expire in 2024.

Note 9 - Equity Based Payments

The Company accounts for equity based payment accruals under authoritative guidance as set forth in the Topics of the ASC. The guidance requires all equity based payments to employees and non-employees, including grants of employee and non-employee stock options and warrants, to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based at their fair values.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the option and warrant fair values. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are the stock price at the valuation date that ranged from $0.01 to $3.50 per share as well as the following assumptions:

Volatility                                                88.553% - 123.600%

                Expected Option/Warrant Term         3 years

                Risk-free interest rate                          .12% - .25%

                Expected dividend yield                      0.00%

The expected term of the options and warrants granted were estimated to be the contractual term. The expected volatility was based on an average of the volatility disclosed based upon comparable companies who had similar expected option and warrant terms. The risk-free rate was based on the one-year U.S. Treasury bond rate.

2014 Stock Incentive Plan

Effective October 1, 2014, the Company's 2014 Stock Option and Award Plan (the "2014 Stock Incentive Plan") was approved by its Board of Directors. Under the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, the Board of Directors may grant options or purchase rights to purchase common stock to officers, employees, and other persons who provide services to the Company or any related company. The participants to whom awards are granted, the type of awards granted, the number of shares covered for each award, and the purchase price, conditions and other terms of each award are determined by the Board of Directors, except that the term of the options shall not exceed 10 years. A total of 2 million shares of the Company's common stock are subject to the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan. The shares issued for the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan may be either treasury or authorized and unissued shares. During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company granted 35,000 options under the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan and no options expired or were exercised.

Note 13 - Supplemental Oil And Gas Disclosure (Unaudited)

Estimated Net Quantities Of Oil And Gas Reserves (Unaudited)

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved crude oil and natural gas reserves. Crude oil and natural gas reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil and natural gas that cannot be precisely measured. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserves estimates are often different from the quantities of crude oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible - from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations - prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

T-REX OIL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Formerly Rancher Energy Corp)

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2015 And 2014

The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes all of the following: (a) the area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (b) adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data. In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish a lower contact with reasonable certainty.

Reserves that can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when both of the following occur: (a) successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir of an analogous reservoir, or other evidence of reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based, and (b) the project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic productivity from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

Proved developed oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered: (i) through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the costs of a new well; and (ii) through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserve estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic productivity at greater distances. Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time. Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

"Prepared" reserves are those quantities of reserves which were prepared by an independent petroleum consultant. "Audited" reserves are those quantities of revenues which were estimated by the Company's employees and audited by an independent petroleum consultant. An audit is an examination of a company's proved oil and gas reserves and net cash flow by an independent petroleum consultant that is conducted for the purpose of expressing an opinion as to whether such estimates, in aggregate, are reasonable and have been determined using methods and procedures widely accepted within the industry and in accordance with SEC rules.

Estimates of the Company's crude oil and natural gas reserves and present values at May 31, 2015 were prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc., independent reserve engineers.

Eligible Persons who are selected by the Administrator shall be eligible to be granted Rights hereunder subject to limitations set forth in this Plan; provided, however, that only Employees shall be eligible to be granted ISOs hereunder.

SECTION 6: TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

6.1    Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Administrator deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

6.2    Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of shares of Stock that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 9, hereof. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify whether the Option is an ISO or a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

6.3    Exercise Price.

6.3.1      In General. Each Stock Option Agreement shall state the price at which shares subject to the Stock Option may be purchased (the "Exercise Price"), which shall, with respect to Incentive Stock Options, be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Date of Grant. In the case of Non-Qualified Stock Options, the Exercise Price shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

6.3.2       Payment. The Exercise Price  shall be payable  in a form  described in Section 8 hereof.

6.4    Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Board may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise or with the disposition of shares acquired by exercising an Option.

6.5    Exercisability. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option becomes exercisable. In the case of an Optionee who is not an officer of the Company, a Director or a Consultant, an Option shall become exercisable at a rate of no more

-7-



than 25% per year over a four-year period commencing on January 1 following the Date of Grant and 25% each year thereafter on January 1. Subject to the preceding sentence, the exercise provisions of any Stock Option Agreement shall be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.

 

6.6    Term. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify the term of the Option. No Option shall be exercised after the expiration of ten years after the date the Option is granted. Unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement, no Option may be exercised (i) three months after the date the Optionee's Service with the Company, its Parent or its Subsidiaries terminates if such termination is for any reason other than death, Disability or Cause, (ii) one year after the date the Optionee's Service with the Company, its Parent or its subsidiaries terminates if such termination is a result of death or Disability, and (iii) if the Optionee's Service with the Company, its Parent, or its Subsidiaries terminates for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Optionee shall expire as of the commencement of business on the date of such termination. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, waive the accelerated expiration provided for in (i) or (ii). Outstanding Options that are not exercisable at the time of termination of employment for any reason shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination.

 

6.7     Leaves of Absence. For purposes of Section 6.6 above, to the extent required by applicable law, Service shall be deemed to continue while the Optionee is on a bona fide leave of absence. To the extent applicable law does not require such a leave to be deemed to continue while the Optionee is on a bona fide leave of absence, such leave shall be deemed to continue if, and only if, expressly provided in writing by the Administrator or a duly authorized officer of the Company, Parent, or Subsidiary for whom Optionee provides his or her services.

 

6.8     Modification, Extension and Assumption of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Administrator may modify, extend or assume outstanding Options (whether granted by the Company or another issuer) or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (whether granted by the Company or another issuer) in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different Exercise Price. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator may amend a previously granted Option to fully accelerate the exercise schedule of such Option and provide that upon the exercise of such Option, the Optionee shall receive shares of Restricted Stock that are subject to repurchase by the Company at the Exercise Price paid for the Option in accordance with Section 8.8.1 with such Company's right to repurchase at such price lapsing at the same rate as the exercise provisions set forth in Optionee's Stock Option Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair the Optionee's rights or increase the Optionee's obligations under such Option. However, a termination of the Option in which the Optionee receives a cash payment equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value and the Exercise Price for all shares subject to exercise under any outstanding Option shall not be deemed to impair any rights of the Optionee or increase the Optionee's obligations under such Option.

SECTION 7: TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS OR SALES

7.1    Stock Purchase Agreement. Each award or sale of shares under the Plan (other than upon exercise of an Option) shall be evidenced by a Stock Purchase Agreement between the Purchaser and the Company. Such award or sale shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Board deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Purchase Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Purchase Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

 

-8-



7.2    Duration of Offers. Unless otherwise provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement, any right to acquire shares under the Plan (other than an Option) shall automatically expire if not exercised by the Purchaser within 15 days after the grant of such right was communicated to the Purchaser by the Company.

7.3    Purchase Price.

7.3.1     In General. Each Stock Purchase Agreement shall state the price at which the Stock subject to such Stock Purchase Agreement may be purchased (the "Purchase Price"), which, with respect to Stock Purchase Rights, shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.

7.3.2     Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 8.

 

7.4     Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the purchase of shares, the Purchaser shall make such arrangements as the Board may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such purchase.

The entire Purchase Price or Exercise Price of shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in full by, as applicable, cash or certified check for an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price or Exercise Price for the number of shares being purchased, or in the discretion of the Administrator, upon such terms as the Administrator shall approve, (i) in the case of an Option and provided the Company's stock is publicly traded, by a copy of instructions to a broker directing such broker to sell the Stock for which such Option is exercised, and to remit to the Company the aggregate Exercise Price of such Options (a "cashless exercise"), (ii) in the case of an Option or a sale of Stock, by paying all or a portion of the Exercise Price or Purchase Price for the number of shares being purchased by tendering Stock owned by the Optionee, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of the Stock with respect to which such Option or portion thereof is thereby exercised or Stock acquired (a "stock-for-stock exercise") or (iii) by a stock-for-stock exercise by means of attestation whereby the Optionee identifies for delivery specific shares of Stock already owned by Optionee and receives a number of shares of Stock equal to the difference between the Option shares thereby exercised and the identified attestation shares of Stock (an "attestation exercise").

 

8.2    Withholding Payment. The Purchase Price or Exercise Price shall include payment of the amount of all federal, state, local or other income, excise or employment taxes subject to withholding (if any) by the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation as a result of the exercise of a Stock Option. The Optionee may pay all or a portion of the tax withholding by cash or check payable to the Company, or, at the discretion of the Administrator, upon such terms as the Administrator shall approve, by (i) cashless exercise or attestation exercise; (ii) stock-for- stock exercise; (iii) in the case of an Option, by paying all or a portion of the tax withholding for the number of shares being purchased by withholding shares from any transfer or payment to the Optionee ("Stock withholding"); or (iv) a combination of one or more of the foregoing payment methods. Any shares issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option and transferred by the Optionee to the Company for the purpose of satisfying any withholding obligation shall not again be available for purposes of the Plan. The Fair Market Value of the number of shares subject to

Stock withholding shall not exceed an amount equal to the applicable minimum required tax withholding rates.

 

8.3     Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Administrator, shares may be awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary prior to the award.

 

8.4     Promissory Note. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement so provides, in the discretion of the Administrator, upon such terms as the Administrator shall approve, all or a portion of the Exercise Price or Purchase Price (as the case may be) of shares issued under the Plan may be paid with a full-recourse promissory note. However, in the event there is a stated par value of the shares and applicable law requires, the par value of the shares, if newly issued, shall be paid in cash or cash equivalents. The shares shall be pledged as security for payment of the principal amount of the promissory note and interest thereon, and held in the possession of the Company until said amounts are repaid in full. The interest rate payable under the terms of the promissory note shall not be less than the minimum rate (if any) required to avoid the imputation of additional interest under the Code. Subject to the foregoing, the Administrator (at its sole discretion) shall specify the term, interest rate, amortization requirements (if any) and other provisions of such note. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value at least equal to the principal amount of the loan shall be pledged by the holder to the Company as security for payment of the unpaid balance of the loan and such pledge shall be evidenced by a pledge agreement, the terms of which shall be determined by the Administrator, in its discretion; provided, however, that each loan shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations and rules of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any other governmental agency having jurisdiction.

 

8.5     Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement so allows and if Stock is publicly traded, in the discretion of the Administrator, upon such terms as the Administrator shall approve, payment may be made all or in part by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Administrator) of an irrevocable direction to pledge shares to a securities broker or lender approved by the Company, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes.

 

8.6     Written Notice. The purchaser shall deliver a written notice to the Administrator requesting that the Company direct the transfer agent to issue to the purchaser (or to his designee) a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock being exercised or purchased or, in the case of a cashless exercise or share withholding exercise, for any shares that were not sold in the cashless exercise or withheld.

 

8.7     First Refusal Right. Each Stock Option Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement may provide that the Company shall have the right of first refusal (the "First Refusal Right"), exercisable in connection with any proposed sale, hypothecation or other disposition of the Stock purchased by the Optionee or Offeree pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement; and in the event the holder of such Stock desires to accept a bona fide third-party offer for any or all of such Stock, the Stock shall first be offered to the Company upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the bona fide offer.

 

8.8       Repurchase Rights. Following a termination of the Participant's Service, the Company may repurchase the Participant's Rights as provided in this Section 8.8 (the "Repurchase Right").

 

-10-



8.8.1     Repurchase Price. Following a termination of the Participant's Service the Repurchase Right shall be exercisable at a price equal to (i) the Fair Market Value of vested Stock or, in the case of exercisable options, the Fair Market Value of the Stock underlying such unexercised options less the Exercise Price, or (ii) the Purchase Price or Exercise Price, as the case may be, of unvested Stock; provided, however, the right to repurchase unvested stock as described in Section 8.8.1(ii) shall lapse at a rate of at least 33.33% per year over three years from the date the Right is granted.

8.8.2     Exercise of Repurchase Right.

8.9    Termination of Repurchase and First Refusal Rights. Each Stock Option Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement shall provide that the Repurchase Rights and First Refusal Rights shall have no effect with respect to, or shall lapse and cease to have effect when the issuer's securities become publicly traded or a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such Repurchase Rights and First Refusal Rights are not permitted under applicable federal or state securities laws.

 

8.10     No Transferability. Except as provided herein, a Participant may not assign, sell or transfer Rights, in whole or in part, other than by testament or by operation of the laws of descent and distribution.

SECTION 9: ADJUSTMENTS; MARKET STAND-OFF

9.1    Effect of Certain Changes.

9.1.1       Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If there is any change in the number of outstanding shares of Stock by reason of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination or reclassification, then (i) the number of shares of Stock

 

-11-



available for Rights, (ii) the number of shares of Stock covered by outstanding Rights, and (iii) the Exercise Price or Purchase Price of any Stock Option or Purchase Right, in effect prior to such change, shall be proportionately adjusted by the Administrator to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Stock; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from the adjustment shall be eliminated.

 

9.1.2       Liquidation, Dissolution, Merger or Consolidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or  any corporate separation  or division, including, but not limited to, a split-up, a split-off or a spin-off, or a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company; a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the Surviving Entity; or a reverse merger in which the Company is the Surviving Entity, but the shares of Company stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise, then, the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, but otherwise in its sole discretion may provide for: (i) the continuation of outstanding Rights by the Company (if the Company is the Surviving Entity); (ii) the assumption of the Plan and such outstanding Rights by the Surviving Entity or its parent; (iii) the substitution by the Surviving Entity or its parent of Rights with substantially the same terms for such outstanding Rights; or (iv) the cancellation of such outstanding Rights without payment of any consideration, provided that if such Rights would be canceled in accordance with the foregoing, the Participant shall have the right, exercisable during the later of the ten- day period ending on the fifth day prior to such merger or consolidation or ten days after the Administrator provides the Rights holder a notice of cancellation, to exercise such Rights in whole or in part without regard to any installment exercise provisions in the Rights agreement.

 

9.1.3     Par Value Changes. In the event of a change in the Stock of the Company as presently constituted which is limited to a change of all of its authorized shares with par value, into the same number of shares without par value, or a change in the par value, the shares resulting from any such change shall be "Stock" within the meaning of the Plan.

 

9.2    Decision of Administrator Final. To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or securities of the Company, such adjustments shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive; provided, however, that each ISO granted pursuant to the Plan shall not be adjusted in a manner that causes such Stock Option to fail to continue to qualify as an ISO without the prior consent of the Optionee thereof.

 

9.3     No Other Rights. Except as hereinbefore expressly provided in this Section 9, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of Company stock or the payment of any dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Company stock of any class or by reason of any of the events described in Section 9.1, above, or any other issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class; and, except as provided in this Section 9, none of the foregoing events shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Stock subject to Rights. The grant of a Right pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structures or to merge or to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or part of its business or assets.

 

-12-



9.4     Market Stand-Off.

The certificates for such shares may include any legend that the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

 

11.1.2      Legends. All certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed and any applicable federal or state securities laws, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

11.2     Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 

11.3      Disqualifying Dispositions. Any Participant who shall make a "disposition" (as defined in Section 424 of the Code) of all or any portion of an ISO within two years from the date of grant of such ISO or within one year after the issuance of the shares of Stock acquired upon

 

-13-



exercise of such ISO shall be required to immediately advise the Company in writing as to the occurrence of the sale and the price realized upon the sale of such shares of Stock.

 

11.4     Regulatory Matters. Each Stock Option Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement shall provide that no shares shall be purchased or sold thereunder unless and until (i) any then applicable requirements of state or federal laws and regulatory agencies shall have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel and (ii) if required to do so by the Company, the Optionee or Offeree shall have executed and delivered to the Company a letter of investment intent in such form and containing such provisions as the Board or Committee may require.

SECTION 12: INFORMATION TO PARTICIPANTS

 

To the extent necessary to comply with Colorado law, the Company each year shall furnish to Participants its balance sheet and income statement unless such Participants are limited to key Employees whose duties with the Company assure them access to equivalent information.

 

SECTION 13: STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT

 

As a condition to the transfer of Stock pursuant to a Right granted under this Plan, the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may require the Participant to execute and become a party to any agreement by and among the Company and any of its stockholders which exists on or after the Date of Grant (the "Stockholders Agreement"). If the Participant becomes a party to a Stockholders Agreement, in addition to the terms of this Plan and the Stock Option Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement (whichever is applicable) pursuant to which the Stock is transferred, the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement shall govern Participant's rights in and to the Stock; and if there is any conflict between the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement and this Plan or any conflict between the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement and the Stock Option Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement (whichever is applicable) pursuant to which the Stock is transferred, the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement shall be controlling. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13, if the Stockholders Agreement contains any provisions which would violate the Colorado Corporations Code if applied to the Participant, the terms of this Plan and the Stock Option Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement (whichever is applicable) pursuant to which the Stock is transferred shall govern the Participant's rights with respect to such provisions.

ANNEX I

 

THE OPTION GRANTED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE THEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

2014 T-REX OIL, INC. STOCK OPTION AND AWARD PLAN: STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

SECTION 1: GRANT OF OPTION

 

1.1     Option. On the terms and conditions set forth in the notice of stock option grant to which this agreement (the "Agreement") is attached (the "Notice of Stock Option Grant") and this agreement, the Company grants to the individual named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the "Optionee") the option to purchase at the exercise price specified in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the "Exercise Price") the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. This option is intended to be either an ISO or a Non-Qualified Stock Option, as provided in the Notice of Stock Option Grant.

 

1.2    Stock Plan and Defined Terms. This option is granted pursuant to and subject to the terms of the 2014 T-REX OIL, INC. STOCK OPTION AND AWARD PLAN, as in effect on the date specified in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (which date shall be the later of (i) the date on which the Board resolved to grant this option, or (ii) the first day of the Optionee's Service) and as amended from time to time (the "Plan"), a copy of which is attached hereto and which the Optionee acknowledges having received. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the definitions ascribed to them in the Plan.

 

SECTION 2: RIGHT TO EXERCISE

 

2.1     Exercisability. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 2.3 below and the other conditions set forth in this Agreement, all or part of this option may be exercised prior to its expiration at the time or times set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. Shares purchased by exercising this option may be subject to the Right of Repurchase under Section 7. In addition, all of the remaining unexercised options shall become vested and fully exercisable if (i) a Change in Control occurs before the Optionee's Service terminates, and (ii) the option is not assumed or an equivalent option is not substituted by the successor entity that employs the Optionee immediately after the Change in Control or by its parent or subsidiary.

 

2.2    Limitation. If this option is designated as an ISO in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, then to the extent (and only to the extent) the Optionee's right to exercise this option causes this option (in whole or in part) to not be treated as an ISO by reason of the $100,000 annual limitation under Section 422(d) of the Code, such options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options, but shall be exercisable by their terms. The determination of options to be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options shall be made by taking options into account in the order in which they are granted. If the terms of this option cause the $100,000 annual limitation under Section

 

-1-



422(d) of the Code to be exceeded, a pro rata portion of each exercise shall be treated as the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

 

2.3     Stockholder Approval. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, no portion of this option shall be exercisable at any time prior to the approval of the Plan by the Company's stockholders.

The Plan Administrator shall have the sole discretion to determine when this option is to expire. For any purpose under this Agreement, Service shall be deemed to continue while the Optionee is on a bona fide leave of absence, if such leave to the extent required by applicable law. To the extent applicable law does not require such a leave to be deemed to continue while the Optionee is on a bona fide leave of absence, such leave shall be deemed to continue if, and only if, expressly provided in writing by the Administrator or a duly authorized officer of the Company, Parent or Subsidiary for whom Optionee provides his or her services.

 

6.2    Exercise After Death. All or part of this option may be exercised at any time before its expiration under Section 6.1 above by the executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate or by any person who has acquired this option directly from the Optionee by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that this option had become exercisable before the Optionee's death. When the Optionee dies, this option shall expire immediately with respect to the number of Shares for which this option is not yet exercisable and with respect to any Share that is subject to the Right of Repurchase (as such term is defined in below) (the "Restricted Stock").

 

6.3    Notice Concerning ISO Treatment. If this option is designated as an ISO in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, it ceases to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an ISO to the extent it is exercised (i) more than three months after the date the Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or permanent and total disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), (ii) more than 12 months after the date the Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason of such permanent and total disability, or (iii) after the Optionee has been on a leave of absence for more than 90 days, unless the Optionee's reemployment rights are guaranteed by statute or by contract.

SECTION 7: RIGHT OF REPURCHASE

7.1     Option Repurchase Right. Following a termination of the Optionee's Service, the Company shall have the option to repurchase the Optionee's vested and exercisable options at a price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Stock underlying such options, less the Exercise Price (the "Option Repurchase Right").

 

7.2     Stock Repurchase Right. Unless they have become vested in accordance with the Notice of Stock Option Grant and Section 7.4 below, the stock acquired under this Agreement initially shall be Restricted Stock and shall be subject to a right (but not an obligation) of repurchase by the Company, which shall be exercisable at a price equal to the Exercise Price paid for the Restricted Stock (the "Stock Repurchase Right"). Vested stock acquired under this Agreement shall be subject to a right (but not an obligation) of repurchase by the Company, which shall be exercisable at a price equal to the Fair Market Value of the vested Stock.

 

7.3       Condition Precedent to Exercise. The Option Repurchase Right and Stock Repurchase Rights (collectively, the "Right of Repurchase") shall be exercisable over Restricted Stock only during the 90-day period next following the later of:

 

7.3.1      The date when the Optionee's Service terminates for any reason, with or without Cause, including (without limitation) death or disability; or

7.3.2     The date when this option was exercised by the Optionee, the executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate, or any person who has acquired this option directly from the Optionee by bequest, inheritance or beneficiary designation.

7.4    Lapse of Right of Repurchase. The Right of Repurchase shall lapse with respect to the Shares subject to this option in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. In addition, the Right of Repurchase shall lapse and all of the remaining Restricted Stock shall become vested if (i) a Change in Control occurs before the Optionee's Service terminates, and (ii) the Right of Repurchase is not assigned to the entity that employs the Optionee immediately after the Change in Control or to its parent or subsidiary. The Right of Repurchase shall lapse with respect to (i) Shares that are registered under a then currently effective registration statement under applicable federal securities laws and the issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or becomes an investment company registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or (ii) Shares for which a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such Exercise Price restrictions are not required in the circumstances under applicable federal or state securities laws.

7.5      Exercise of Right of Repurchase. The Company shall exercise the Right of Repurchase by written notice delivered to the Optionee prior to the expiration of the 90-day period specified in Section 7.3 above. The notice shall set forth the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, which must occur within 31 days of the notice. The certificate(s) representing the Restricted Stock to be repurchased shall, prior to the close of business on the date specified for the repurchase, be delivered to the Company properly endorsed for transfer. The Company shall, concurrently with the receipt of such certificate(s), pay to the Optionee the Purchase Price determined according to this Section 7. Payment shall be made in cash or cash equivalents or by canceling indebtedness to the Company incurred by the Optionee in the purchase of the Restricted Stock. The Right of Repurchase shall terminate with respect to any Restricted Stock for which it has not been timely exercised pursuant to this Section 7.5.

-5-



7.6      Rights of Repurchase Adjustments. If there is any change in the number of outstanding shares of Stock by reason of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, recapitalization, combination or reclassification, or a similar transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, then (i) any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as an ordinary cash dividend) distributed with respect to any Restricted Stock (or into which such Restricted Stock thereby become convertible) shall immediately be subject to the Right of Repurchase; and (ii) appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Restricted Stock and to the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Right of Repurchase; provided, however, that the aggregate Purchase Price payable for the Restricted Stock shall remain the same.

 

7.7    Termination of Rights as Stockholder. If the Company makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Restricted Stock to be repurchased in accordance with this Section 7, then after such time the person from whom such Restricted Stock is to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Restricted Stock (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Restricted Stock shall be deemed to have been repurchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefore have been delivered as required by this Agreement.

 

7.8     Escrow. Upon issuance, the certificates for Restricted Stock shall be deposited in escrow with the Company to be held in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property described in Section 7.6 above shall immediately be delivered to the Company to be held in escrow, but only to the extent the Shares are at the time Restricted Stock. All regular cash dividends on Restricted Stock (or  other securities at the time held in escrow) shall be paid directly to the Optionee and shall not be held in escrow. Restricted Stock, together with any other assets or securities held in escrow hereunder, shall be (i) surrendered to the Company for repurchase and cancellation upon the Company's exercise of its Right of Repurchase or Right of First Refusal or (ii) released to the Optionee upon the Optionee's request to the extent the Shares are no longer Restricted Stock (but not more frequently than once every six months). In any event, all Shares which have vested (and any other vested assets and securities attributable thereto) shall be released within 60 days after the earlier of (i) the Optionee's cessation of Service or (ii) the lapse of the Right of First Refusal.

SECTION 8: RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

8.1    Right of First Refusal. In the event that the Company's stock is not readily tradable on an established securities market and the Optionee proposes to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer to a third party any Shares acquired under this Agreement, or any interest in such Shares, to any person, entity or organization (the "Transferee") the Company shall have the Right of First Refusal with respect to all (and not less than all) of such Shares (the "Right of First Refusal"). If the Optionee desires to transfer Shares acquired under this Agreement, the Optionee shall give a written transfer notice ("Transfer Notice") to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of Shares proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price, the name and address of the proposed Transferee and proof satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale or transfer will not violate any applicable federal or state securities laws. The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by the Optionee and by the proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of both parties to the transfer of the Shares. The Company shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Shares on the terms of the proposal described in

 

-6-



the Transfer Notice by delivery of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when the Transfer Notice was received by the Company. The Company's rights under this Section 8.1 shall be freely assignable, in whole or in part.

 

8.2    Additional Shares or Substituted Securities. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin- off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as an ordinary cash dividend) which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to this Section 8 or into which such Shares thereby become convertible shall immediately be subject to this Section 8. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Shares subject to this Section 8.

 

8.3      Termination of Right of First Refusal. Any other provision of this Section 8 notwithstanding, in the event that the Stock is readily tradable on an established securities market when the Optionee desires to transfer Shares, the Company shall have no Right of First Refusal, and the Optionee shall have no obligation to comply with the procedures prescribed by this Section 8.

 

8.4     Permitted Transfers. This Section 8 shall not apply to a transfer (i) by gift to a member of the Participant's immediate family or (ii) by transfer by instrument to a trust providing that the Option is to be passed to beneficiaries upon death of the Settlor. For purposes of this Section 8.4, "immediate family" shall mean the Optionee's spouse (including a former spouse subject to terms of a domestic relations order); child, stepchild, grandchild, child-in-law; parent, stepparent, grandparent, parent-in-law; sibling and sibling-in-law, and shall include adoptive relationships.

 

8.5    Termination of Rights as Stockholder. If the Company makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Shares to be purchased in accordance with this Section 8, then after such time the person from whom such Shares are to be purchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Shares shall be deemed to  have been purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefore have been delivered as required by this Agreement.

SECTION 9: OBLIGATION TO SELL.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time following Optionee's acquisition of Shares hereunder, stockholders of the Company owning 51% or more of the shares of the Company (on a fully diluted basis) (the "Control Sellers") enter into an agreement (including any agreement in principal) to transfer all of their shares to any person or group of persons who are not affiliated with the Control Sellers, such Control Sellers may require each stockholder who is not a Control Seller (a "Non-Control Seller") to sell all of their shares to such person or group of persons at a price and on terms and conditions the same as those on which such Control Sellers have agreed to sell their shares, other than terms and conditions relating to the performance or non-performance of services. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, an affiliate of a Control Seller is a person who controls, which is controlled by, or which is under common control with, the Control Seller.

 

-7-



SECTION 10: STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT

As a condition to the transfer of Stock pursuant to this Stock Option Agreement, the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may require the Participant to execute and become a party to any agreement by and among the Company and any of its stockholders which exists on or after the Date of Grant (the "Stockholders Agreement"). If the Participant becomes a party to a Stockholders Agreement, in addition to the terms of the Plan and this Stock Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of Stockholders Agreement shall govern Participant's rights in and to the Stock; and if there is any conflict between the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement and the Plan or any conflict between the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement and this Stock Option Agreement, the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement shall be controlling. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, if the Stockholders Agreement contains any provisions which would violate Colorado corporate law if applied to the Participant, the terms of the Plan and this Stock Option Agreement shall govern the Participant's rights with respect to such provisions.

SECTION 11: LEGALITY OF INITIAL ISSUANCE

No Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this option unless and until the Company has determined that:

11.1     It and the Optionee have taken any actions required to register the Shares, provided the Stock is publicly traded, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or to perfect an exemption from the registration requirements thereof;

11.2     Any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange on which Stock is listed has been satisfied; and

11.3    Any other applicable provision of state or federal law has been satisfied.

 

SECTION 12: NO REGISTRATION RIGHTS

 

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, register or qualify the sale of Shares under the Securities Act or any other applicable law. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the sale of Shares under this Agreement to comply with any law.

 

SECTION 13: RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

13.1     Securities Law Restrictions. Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Company, at its discretion, may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Company, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state or any other law.

13.2     Market Stand-Off. In the event of an underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Act, including the Company's initial public offering (a "Public Offering"), the Optionee shall not transfer for value any shares of Stock without the prior written consent of the Company or its

-8-



underwriters, for such period of time from and after the effective date of such registration statement as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters (the "Market Stand-Off"). The Market Stand-off shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such Shares thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand- Off. In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares acquired under this Agreement until the end of the applicable stand-off period.

 

13.3     Investment Intent at Grant. The Optionee represents and agrees that the Shares to be acquired upon exercising this option will be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.

 

13.4     Investment Intent at Exercise. In the event that the sale of Shares under the Plan is not registered under the Securities Act but an exemption is available which requires an investment representation or other representation, the Optionee shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the Shares being acquired upon exercising this option are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.

 

13.5     Legends. All certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Agreement in an unregistered transaction shall bear the following legend (and such other restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable under the provisions of any applicable law):

 

"THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED."

 

13.6     Removal of Legends. If, in the opinion of the Company and its counsel, any legend placed on a stock certificate representing Shares sold under this Agreement no longer is required, the holder of such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a certificate representing the same number of Shares but without such legend.

 

13.7     Administration. Any determination by the Company and its counsel in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 13 shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and all other persons.

SECTION 14: MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

14.1    Rights as a Stockholder. Neither the Optionee nor the Optionee's representative shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to this option until the Optionee or the Optionee's representative becomes entitled to receive such Shares by filing a notice of exercise and paying the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 4 and Section 5 hereof.

 

-9-



14.2     Adjustments. If there is any change in the number of outstanding shares of Stock by reason of a  stock split, reverse  stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination or reclassification, then (i) the number of shares subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price of this option, in effect prior to such change, shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Stock; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from the adjustment shall be eliminated.

 

14.3      No Retention Rights. Nothing in this option or in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Optionee) or of the Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without Cause.

 

14.4     Notice. Any notice required by the terms of this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail with postage and fees prepaid, e-mail, Federal Express, UPS, or other common international carrier who can provide proof of delivery. Notice shall be addressed the Optionee at the address set forth in the records of the Company. Notice shall be addressed to the Company at:

 

T-REX OIL, INC.

520 Zang, Suite #250

Broomfield, CO 80021

 

14.5     Entire Agreement. The Notice of Stock Option Grant, this Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. They supersede any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) that relate to the subject matter hereof.

 

14.6       Choice of Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF COLORADO WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CHOICE OF LAWS PROVISIONS, AS COLORADO LAWS ARE APPLIED TO CONTRACTS ENTERED INTO AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE.

 

14.7     Attorneys' Fees. In the event that any action, suit or proceeding is instituted upon any breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be paid by the other party thereto an amount equal to all of the prevailing party's costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees incurred in each and every such action, suit or proceeding (including any and all appeals or petitions therefrom). As used in this Agreement, "attorneys' fees" shall mean the full and actual cost of any legal services actually performed in connection with the matter involved calculated on the basis of the usual fee charged by the attorney performing such services and shall not be limited to "reasonable attorneys' fees" as defined in any statute or rule of court.

2014 T-REX OIL, INC. STOCK OPTION AND AWARD PLAN: STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Stock Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement") is made and entered into on the execution date of the Stock Purchase Certificate to which it is attached (the "Certificate"), by and between T-REX OIL, INC., a Colorado corporation (the "Company"), and the Director, Employee or Consultant ("Purchaser") named in the Certificate.

Pursuant to the 2014 T-REX OIL, INC. STOCK OPTION AND AWARD PLAN (the

"Plan"), the Administrator of the Plan has authorized the grant to Purchaser of the right to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan. Capitalized terms not otherwise defied herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

SECTION 1: THE OFFER.

1.1 Offer of the Stock.

1.2 Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the Stock is set forth in the Certificate.

 

1.3 Payment For The Stock. Purchaser may pay for the stock by delivering to the company the purchase price in the form of either (i) cash or cashier's check or (ii) your promissory note, in the form of the Promissory Note attached to this agreement as Exhibit A.

SECTION 2: ACCEPTANCE OF THE OFFER.

 

There is no obligation to exercise the rights granted to you under this Agreement, in whole or in part. Purchaser may purchase fewer shares than the number offered to Purchaser in this Agreement. If Purchaser decides to accept the offer and purchase any shares offered, Purchaser must do the following:

 

2.1     Complete Documents. Complete, sign and date one copy of the Certificate, and, if Purchaser is paying by delivery of a promissory note, one copy each of the attached Promissory Note, Security Agreement and Stock Assignment;

Purchaser should retain a copy of all of the signed documents for his or her files, and if Purchaser does so, Purchaser should mark the retained copy of the Promissory Note "COPY." THE SIGNED PROMISSORY NOTE IS A NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENT AND IS ENFORCEABLE AGAINST PURCHASER BY ANY HOLDER OF THE PROMISSORY NOTE, AND ANY ADDITIONAL SIGNED COPIES WHICH ARE NOT MARKED "COPY" MAY ALSO BE NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS WHICH ARE ENFORCEABLE AGAINST PURCHASER BY THEIR HOLDER.

SECTION 3: RESTRICTIONS ON THE STOCK.

3.1    Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Purchaser shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the repurchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value (each a "Transfer") or otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to any shares of Stock. The Company shall not be required to register any such Transfer and the Company may instruct its transfer agent not to register any such Transfer, unless and until all of the following events shall have occurred:

 

3.1.1     The Company has declined to exercise the right of first refusal provided for in Section 5 hereof;

 

3.1.2      The Shares are Transferred pursuant to and in conformity with: (i) (x) an effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") or (y) an exemption from registration under the Act; and (ii) the securities laws of any state of the United States; and

 

3.1.3     Purchaser has, prior to the Transfer of such Shares, and if requested by the Company, provided all relevant information to the Company's counsel so that upon the Company's request, the Company's counsel is able to deliver, and actually prepares and delivers to the Company a written opinion that the proposed Transfer is: (i) (x) pursuant to a registration statement which has been filed with the Commission and is then effective

 

-3-



or (y) exempt from registration under the Act as then in effect, and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder; and (ii) is either qualified or registered under any applicable state securities laws, or exempt from such qualification or registration. The Company shall bear all reasonable costs of preparing such opinion.

 

3.2     Additional Restrictions on Transfer of Non-Vested Shares. Purchaser agrees, for himself or herself and for his or her heirs, successors and assigns, that Purchaser shall have no right or power under any circumstance to Transfer any interest in shares of the Stock which are "Non-Vested Shares," as determined by the schedule set forth in the Certificate, except to the Company. As used in this Agreement, "Vested Shares" means all shares of the Stock which Purchaser has the right to Transfer at a specified point in time and "Non-Vested Shares" means all shares of the Stock which Purchaser does not have the right to Transfer at a specified point in time. The Certificate sets forth the vesting schedule.

3.3    Company's Repurchase Right.

3.3.1      Scope of Repurchase Right. Unless they have become vested, the Shares acquired under this Agreement initially shall be "Restricted Stock" and shall be subject to a right (but not an obligation) of repurchase by the Company (the "Repurchase Right"). The Purchaser shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Stock, except as provided in the following sentence. The Purchaser may transfer Restricted Stock:

3.3.1.1      By testament or intestate succession or by transfer by instrument to a trust providing that the Restricted Stock is to be passed to one or more beneficiaries upon death of the Settlor; or

3.3.1.2      To the Purchaser's "immediate family," as that term is defined in the Plan (together, "Transferee").

Provided, however, in either case the Transferee must agree in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. If the Purchaser transfers any Restricted Stock, then this Section 3 will apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Purchaser.

 

3.3.2     Exercise Period. The Repurchase Right shall be exercisable only during the 90-day period following the later of the date when the Purchaser's service as an Employee, outside Director or Consultant ("Service") terminates for any reason, with or without cause, including (without limitation) death or disability.

 

3.3.3     Non Applicability and Lapse of Repurchase Right. The Repurchase Right shall lapse with respect to the Shares in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Certificate. In addition, the Repurchase Right shall lapse and all of such Stock shall become vested if (i) a Change in Control occurs before the Purchaser's Service terminates and (ii) the options are not assumed by, or Repurchase Right is not assigned to, the entity that employs the Participant immediately after the Change in Control or to its parent or subsidiary.

 

The Repurchase Right shall not exist with respect to shares of Stock that have been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under applicable federal securities laws and the issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of Section

 

-4-



13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or becomes an investment company registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or (ii) a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such Exercise Price restrictions are not required in the circumstances under applicable federal or state securities laws.

 

3.3.4      Repurchase Price. Following a termination of the Participant's Service, which does not result from the Company's termination of Service for Cause, the Repurchase Right shall be exercisable at a price equal to (i) the Fair Market Value of vested Stock and (ii) the Purchase Price of unvested Stock. Following the termination of the Participant's Service for Cause, the Repurchase Right shall be exercisable as to both vested and unvested Shares at a price equal to the Purchase Price as set forth in the Certificate.

 

3.3.5     Rights of Repurchase Adjustments. If there is any change in the number of outstanding shares of Stock by reason of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, recapitalization, combination or reclassification, or a similar transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, then (i) any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as an ordinary cash dividend) distributed with respect to any Restricted Stock (or into which such Restricted Stock thereby become convertible) shall immediately be subject to the Right of Repurchase; and (ii) appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Restricted Stock and to the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Right of Repurchase; provided, however, that the aggregate Purchase Price payable for the Restricted Stock shall remain the same.

 

3.3.6       Escrow. Upon issuance, the certificates for Restricted Stock shall be deposited in escrow with the Company to be held in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property described in Section 3.3.5 above shall immediately be delivered to the Company to be held in escrow, but only to the extent the Shares are at the time Restricted Stock. All regular cash dividends on Restricted Stock (or other securities at the time held in escrow) shall be paid directly to the Purchaser and shall not be held in escrow. Restricted Stock, together with any other assets or securities held in escrow hereunder, shall be (i) surrendered to the Company for repurchase and cancellation upon the Company's exercise of its Right of Repurchase or Right of First Refusal or (ii) released to the Purchaser upon the Purchaser's request to the extent the Shares are no longer Restricted Stock (but not more frequently than once every six months). In any event, all Shares which have vested (and any other vested assets and securities attributable thereto) shall be released within 60 days after the earlier of (i) the Purchaser's cessation of Service or (ii) the lapse of the Right of First Refusal.

3.4    Retention of Non-Vested Shares. Purchaser shall immediately deliver to the Company each certificate representing Non-Vested Shares issued to Purchaser hereunder, or deemed to be issued to Purchaser hereunder, together with the collateral instruments of transfer executed in blank, to be held by the Company until such time as all shares represented by that certificate are Vested Shares and any indebtedness with respect to those shares has been paid in full; provided, however, that if the Company holds a certificate representing Vested Shares and Non-Vested Shares, and any indebtedness with respect to the Vested Shares has been paid in full, upon Purchaser's request the Company will cause a certificate representing the Vested Shares to be

-5-



delivered to Purchaser, but the Company will retain any certificate representing the Non-Vested Shares.

 

3.5     Non-Complying Transfers. Every attempted Transfer of any shares of the Stock in violation of this Section 3 shall be null and void ab initio, and of no force or effect.

 

SECTION 4: LEGENDS ON STOCK CERTIFICATES.

 

Purchaser agrees that the Company may place on each certificate representing Shares the following legend:

 

"THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, WHICH AGREEMENT PROVIDES, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THAT THE ISSUER HAS A RIGHT TO REPURCHASE THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE. A COPY OF THAT AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER."

 

SECTION 5: RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

 

5.1     Right of First Refusal. In the event that the Stock is not readily tradable on an established securities market and the Purchaser proposes to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer to a third party any Shares acquired under this Agreement, or any interest in such Shares, to any person, entity or organization (the "Transferee") the Company shall have the Right of First Refusal with respect to all (and not less than all) of such Shares (the "Right of First Refusal"). If the Purchaser desires to transfer Shares acquired under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall give a written transfer notice ("Transfer Notice") to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of Shares proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price, the name and address of the proposed Transferee and proof satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale or transfer will not violate any applicable federal or state securities laws. The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by the Purchaser and by the proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of both parties to the transfer of the Shares. The Company shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Shares on the terms of the proposal described in the Transfer Notice by delivery of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when the Transfer Notice was received by the Company. The Company's rights under this Section 5 shall be freely assignable, in whole or in part.

 

5.2    Additional Shares or Substituted Securities. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin- off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as an ordinary cash dividend) which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to this Section 5 or into which such Shares thereby become convertible shall immediately be subject to this Section 5. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Shares subject to this Section 5.

 

5.3      Termination of Right of First Refusal. Any other provision of this Section 5 notwithstanding, in the event that the Stock is readily tradable on an established securities market

 

-6-



when the Purchaser desires to transfer Shares, the Company shall have no Right of First Refusal, and the Purchaser shall have no obligation to comply with the procedures prescribed by this Section 5.

 

5.4     Permitted Transfers. This Section 5 shall not apply to a transfer (i) by gift to a member of the Participant's immediate family or (ii) by transfer by instrument to a trust providing that the Shares is to be passed to beneficiaries upon death of the Settlor. For purposes of this Section 5.4, "immediate family" shall mean the Purchaser's spouse (including a former spouse subject to terms of a domestic relations order); child, stepchild, grandchild, child-in-law; parent, stepparent, grandparent, parent-in-law; sibling and sibling-in-law, and shall include adoptive relationships.

 

5.5    Termination of Rights as Stockholder. If the Company makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Shares to be purchased in accordance with this Section 5, then after such time the person from whom such Shares are to be purchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Shares shall be deemed to  have been purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement.

 

SECTION 6: OBLIGATION TO SELL.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time following Purchaser's acquisition of Shares hereunder, stockholders of the Company owning 51% or more of the shares of the Company (on a fully diluted basis) (the "Control Sellers") enter into an agreement (including any agreement in principal) to transfer all of their shares to any person or group of persons who are not affiliated with the Control Sellers, such Control Sellers may require each stockholder who is not a Control Seller (a "Non-Control Seller") to sell all of their shares to such person or group of persons at a price and on terms and conditions the same as those on which such Control Sellers have agreed to sell their shares, other than terms and conditions relating to the performance or non-performance of services. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, an affiliate of a Control Seller is a person who controls, which is controlled by, or which is under common control with, the Control Seller.

 

SECTION 7: STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT.

 

As a condition to the transfer of Stock pursuant to this Stock Purchase Agreement, the Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may require the Participant to execute and become a party to any agreement by and among the Company and any of its stockholders which exists on or after the Date of Grant (the "Stockholders Agreement"). If the Participant becomes a party to a Stockholders Agreement, in addition to the terms of the Plan and this Stock Purchase Agreement, the terms and conditions of Stockholders Agreement shall govern Participant's rights in and to the Stock; and if there is any conflict between the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement and the Plan or any conflict between the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement and this Stock Purchase Agreement, the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement shall be controlling. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, if the Stockholders Agreement contains any provisions which would violate Colorado law if applied to the Participant, the terms of the Plan and this Stock Purchase Agreement shall govern the Participant's rights with respect to such provisions.

SECTION 8: WAIVER OF RIGHTS TO PURCHASE STOCK.

By signing this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any other person or entity is under any obligation to sell or transfer to Purchaser any option or equity security of the Company, other than the shares of Stock subject to this Agreement and any other right or option to purchase Stock which was previously granted in writing to Purchaser by the Board (or a committee thereof). By signing this Agreement, except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser specifically waives all rights he or she may have had prior to the date of this Agreement to receive any option or equity security of the Company.

SECTION 9: INVESTMENT INTENT.

Purchaser represents and agrees that if he or she purchases the Stock in whole or in part and if at the time of such purchase the Stock has not been registered under the Act, that he or she will acquire the Stock upon such purchase for the purpose of investment and not with a view to the distribution of such Stock and upon each purchase, he or she will furnish to the Company a written statement to such effect.

The Market Stand-Off shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such Shares thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand- Off.

LETTER REGARDING

FEDERAL AND COLORADO TAX CONSEQUENCES

T-Rex Oil, Inc.

520 Zang,  Suite #250

Broomfield, CO 80021

[Purchaser]

Dear :

------------------------------

This letter is to notify you of certain federal and Colorado income tax consequences to you as a result of your purchase of shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock of T-Rex Oil, Inc. (the "Company") pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated                                        , 2014 between you and the Company.

The conclusion of this letter is that, if the purchase price for the Shares equals their fair market value on the date you sign the Stock Purchase Agreement, you should send copies of the attached form (the "Section 83 Form") relating to Section 83 ("Section 83") of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Internal Revenue Code"), to the Internal Revenue Service and the Company, not later than 30 days after the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement. If the purchase price for the Shares is less than their fair market value on the date you sign the Stock Purchase Agreement, you should consider carefully whether or not you should file the Section 83 Form within 30 days after you sign the Stock Purchase Agreement.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

Certain federal income tax consequences to you in connection with your purchase of the Shares are determined in accordance with Section 83.

Section 83(a). Under Section 83(a), a person to whom property is transferred in connection with the performance of services ("Section 83 property") must recognize ordinary income in the year the property is transferred in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Section 83 property at the time it is transferred less the amount, if any, paid for the Section 83 property, unless the Section 83 property is not transferable and is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (collectively, a "Restriction on Transfer"). If there is a Restriction on Transfer, then the person acquiring Section 83 property will not recognize income until the Restriction on Transfer lapses (unless a Section 83(b) election is made - see below), at which time the person must recognize as ordinary income the fair market value of the Section 83 property at that time less the amount, if any, paid for the Section 83 property.



Your purchase of the Shares probably constitutes a transfer of Section 83 property. Further, the Stock Purchase Agreement provides that, if you cease to be employed by the Company for any reason, the Company must repurchase from you and you must sell to the Company all Non- Vested Shares (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) for an amount which may be less than their fair market value. Under Regulations promulgated under Section 83, these provisions probably constitute a Restriction on Transfer over your Non-Vested Shares. Thus, under Section 83(a), you would not be required to recognize any income as a result of your purchase of the Shares until they vest; when they vest, you would be required under Section 83(a) to recognize as ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares (as of the day they vest) over the price you paid for those Shares under the Stock Purchase Agreement. If the price of the Company's Common Stock is greater when the Shares vest than when you purchased them, you could have a substantial tax liability in connection with your purchase of the Shares when they vest.

 

Section 83(b) Election. Section 83(b) provides an alternative method for taxing Section 83 property. Under Section 83(b), a person may elect to recognize ordinary income in the year Section 83 property is transferred to him or her, rather then waiting until it vests. Thus, if you make a Section 83(b) election, you will be required to recognize as ordinary income in the year you purchase the Shares the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the Shares on the date you sign the Stock Purchase Agreement and the purchase price you pay for the Shares. For example, if you make the Section 83(b) election and you paid a purchase price for the Shares equal to their fair market value, you will not pay any taxes in the year of the purchase in connection with your purchase of the Shares. On the other hand, if you make the Section 83(b) election and the purchase price of the Shares is less than their fair market value on the date you sign the Stock Purchase Agreement, you will be required to pay taxes on the difference between those amounts in the year of the purchase. In either case, however, if you make the Section 83(b) election, you will not be required to recognize any income when the Shares vest.

 

To make the Section 83(b) election, you must file the Section 83 Form with both the Company and the Internal Revenue Service office where you file federal income tax returns. You must file the Section 83(b) Form within 30 days after you sign the Stock Purchase Agreement. In addition, you must attach a copy of the Section 83(b) Form to your income tax return that covers the year in which you filed the Form.

 

Sale of Section 83 Property. If a person sells Section 83 property after the Restriction on Transfer lapses (or after making a Section 83(b) election), he or she will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale of the Section 83 property and the person's "adjusted basis" for the Section 83 property. The person's adjusted basis for the Section 83 property will be (i) the amount paid for the Section 83 property plus (ii) any amount which the person has included in gross income pursuant to the Section 83(b) election. Thus, upon sale, you will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the sale price of the Shares and your adjusted basis for the Shares.

 

In general, the gain or loss you recognize will be capital gain or loss if the following "Capital Gain Requirements" are met: (i) the Section 83 property is a capital asset and (ii) the Section 83 property is held for more than 12 months from either the date the Restrictions on Transfer lapse or, if a Section 83(b) election is made, the date the Section 83 property is acquired. Thus, as the Shares are probably a capital asset in your hands, you will recognize capital gain or loss upon their sale if you hold them for more than 12 months from either the date they vest or, if you make the Section 83(b) election, from the date you sign the Stock Purchase Agreement.



Forfeiture of Section 83 Property. If a person's interest in Section 83 property is forfeited, the person will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized upon forfeiture and the amount paid for the Section 83 property. In your case, if your employment with the Company is terminated before all of the Shares have vested, the Company is obligated to repurchase from you, and you are obligated to sell to the Company, any Non-Vested Shares at the price you paid for them. As there would be no difference between the amount realized upon forfeiture and the amount paid for the Shares, you would not be required to recognize any gain or loss at that time. However, upon forfeiture, you would not be able to recoup any taxes you pay pursuant to a Section 83(b) election.

 

Colorado Income Tax Consequences.

 

The Colorado income tax consequences to you in connection with your purchase of the Shares are identical to the federal income tax consequences. To make the Section 83(b) election in Colorado, you must file the Section 83(b) Form with the Internal Revenue Service, as described above; there are no extra filing requirements for making the Section 83(b) election in Colorado.

 

If you have any questions concerning the tax consequences described in this letter, please feel free to call me.

Sincerely,

T-Rex Oil, Inc.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of December 22, 2014 (the "Effective Date"), by and among T-Rex Oil, Inc., a Colorado corporation, with its principal office at 7609 Ralston Road, Arvada, CO  80002  ("TRXO"), Terex Energy Corp., a Colorado corporation ("TEREX"), and Terex Acquisition Corp., a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of TRXO, domiciled in Colorado ("Acquisition Sub"). Each of TRXO, TEREX and Acquisition Sub is referred to herein individually as a "Party," or collectively as the "Parties."

RECITALS

A.        TRXO and TEREX intend to effect a merger, pursuant to which Acquisition Sub will merge with and into TEREX and TEREX will survive, as a result of which the entire issued share capital of TEREX (the "TEREX Shares") will be deemed for all purposes to represent shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of TRXO upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

B.         The Parties intend that the Merger contemplated by this Agreement will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Tax Code").

C.        The Parties intend that the effective date hereof shall be December 31, 2014 regardless of the execution date or the closing after conditions are met.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties and mutual covenants herein made, the parties hereby agree to the foregoing and as follows:

Section 1.                Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the attached Schedule 1.

Section 2.                The Merger.

    (a)                Effecting the Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined), (i) Acquisition Sub shall be merged with and into TEREX (the "Merger"); (ii) the separate corporate existence of Acquisition Sub shall thereupon cease and TEREX will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger and wholly-owned subsidiary of TRXO (sometimes referred to herein as the "Surviving Subsidiary"), (iii) all the properties, rights and privileges, and power of TEREX, shall vest in the Surviving Subsidiary, and all debts, liabilities and duties of TEREX shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Subsidiary, and (iv) each share of common stock of Acquisition Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and exchange for one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of the Surviving Subsidiary's common stock.

    (b)               Effect on Capital Stock.

        (i)                  Conversion of TEREX Shares. At the Effective Time, each TEREX Share issued and outstanding on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3, below) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of TEREX, TRXO, Acquisition Sub, or the holders of the TEREX Shares as of the Closing

-1-


Date (the "Original Holders"), be converted into and will become one share of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable common stock of TRXO (the "Share Ratio") such that the Original Holders will be issued a total of 7,385,700 shares of TRXO (the "TRXO Common Stock") following the conversion. All shares of TRXO Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of TEREX Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall (i) contain a restricted securities legend in compliance with the Securities Act and (ii) be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such TEREX Shares. There shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of TEREX of the TEREX Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  

        (ii)                Fractional Shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the conversion of TEREX Shares into TRXO Common Stock, and any right to receive a fractional share will be rounded-up to the nearest whole share.

        (iii)               Cancellation of TEREX Shares. At the Effective Time, the TEREX Shares will be deemed canceled and retired and will cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate for TEREX Shares will cease to have any rights with respect thereto; provided, however, that, following the Closing Date, upon surrender of an original stock certificate representing TEREX Shares, TRXO will deliver a stock certificate for shares of TRXO Common Stock to which such person is entitled pursuant to the Share Ratio, bearing any necessary or appropriate restrictive legend. The effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of Colorado Law.

        (iv)              Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any certificate evidencing TEREX Shares shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by TRXO, the posting of an indemnity bond, in such reasonable amount as TRXO or the transfer agent may direct, as collateral security against any claim that may be made with respect to the certificate, TRXO will issue in exchange for the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the applicable number of shares of TRXO Common Stock.

        (v)                At the Effective Time, each share of common stock of Acquisition Sub ("Acquisition Sub Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Subsidiary. Each stock certificate evidencing ownership of any shares of Acquisition Sub Stock shall, at the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Subsidiary.

    (c)                Reorganization. The Parties intend to adopt this Agreement and the Merger as a plan of reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Tax Code. The shares of TRXO Common Stock issued in the Merger will be issued solely in exchange for TEREX Shares, and no other transaction other than the Merger represents, provides for or is intended to be an adjustment to the consideration paid for the TEREX Shares. No consideration that could constitute "other property" within the meaning of Section 356(b) of the Tax Code is being transferred by TRXO for TEREX Shares in the Merger. The parties shall not take a position on any tax return inconsistent with this Section 2(c).

    (d)               Further Actions. If at any time after the Effective Time, TRXO or TEREX reasonably determines that any deeds, assignments, or instruments, or conformations of transfer are necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the officers and directors of TRXO and TEREX are fully

-2-


authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary or desirable actions.

    (e)                Options and Warrants:  There are Warrants, subject to vesting, to purchase 800,000 shares of TEREX common stock, to executives of TEREX, exercisable at $1.00 per share for 3 years, and there are 1,150,000 Options, subject to vesting, to purchase TEREX common stock exercisable at $0.10 per share for 3 years. TRXO shall issue exchange Warrants and Options upon like terms to replace the TEREX Warrants and Options.

    (f)     Piggy-Back Registration Rights.

        (i)                  In the event TRXO proposes to file a registration statement with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act covering the public offering of any of its stock (other than a registration relating solely to the issuance of securities by TRXO pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar benefit plan or an SEC Rule 145 transaction), TRXO shall promptly give each Original Holder written notice of such registration.  TRXO shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be registered all of the shares of TRXO Common Stock that each such Original Holder has requested to be included in such registration.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and regardless of the registration of any shares of TRXO Common Stock, the shares of TRXO Common Stock will continue to be subject the lock up provisions specified in Section 2(f).

        (ii)                TRXO shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2(f) before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Original Holder has elected to include shares of TRXO Common Stock in such registration. 

        (iii)               All expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions and stock transfer taxes and fees) incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to Sections 2(f) including, without limitation, registration, filing and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for TRXO shall be borne by TRXO.

        (iv)              If a registration of which TRXO gives notice under this Section 2(f) is for an underwritten offering, then TRXO shall so advise the Original Holders.  In such event, the right of any Original Holder to include such Original Holder's shares of TRXO Common Stock in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Original Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Original Holder's shares of TRXO Common Stock in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.  All Original Holders proposing to distribute their shares of TRXO Common Stock through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriters selected for such underwriting.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriters advise TRXO that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares of TRXO Common Stock to be underwritten or exclusion of the shares of TRXO Common Stock, then the managing underwriters may exclude the shares of TRXO Common Stock from the registration and the underwriting.  If any Original Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Original Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to TRXO and the managing underwriters.  Any shares of TRXO Common Stock excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.

-3-


    (g)                The covenants contained in Section 2g(i) above shall survive the closing and shall be enforceable whether or not contained in a separate agreement.

Section 3.                Closing.

    (a)                Closing Date. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the "Closing") shall be effective as soon as all of the conditions hereof are met and any document deliveries take place at the offices of TRXO, on December 22, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. MST, or such other time, date or place as TRXO and TEREX shall otherwise agree (the "Closing Date").

-5-


TEREX in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally. The execution, delivery and performance by TEREX of this Agreement and the agreements provided for herein, and the consummation by TEREX of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will not, with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, violate the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of TEREX, or (i) violate any judgment, decree, order or award of any court, governmental body or arbitrator; (ii) conflict with or result in the breach or termination of any term or provision of, or constitute a default under, or cause any acceleration under, or cause the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the properties or assets of TEREX pursuant to, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument or agreement to which TEREX is a party or by which TEREX or any of its properties is or may be bound; or (iii) to TEREX's knowledge, violate the provisions of any law, rule or regulation applicable to TEREX, except where such violation would not reasonably be expected to have an Adverse Effect.

    (e)                No Conflict.

There is no action, suit, legal or administrative proceeding or investigation pending or, to TEREX's knowledge, threatened against or involving TEREX (either as a plaintiff or defendant) before any court or governmental agency, authority, body or arbitrator. There is not in existence on the date hereof any order, judgment or decree of any court, tribunal or agency to TEREX's knowledge enjoining or requiring TEREX to take any action of any kind with respect to its business, assets or properties.

    (g)           Insurance. The TEREX Schedule contains a listing of all current TEREX insurance policies. To TEREX's knowledge, all current insurance policies are in full force and effect, are in amounts of a nature that are adequate and customary for TEREX's business, and to TEREX's knowledge are sufficient for compliance with all legal requirements and agreements to which it is a party or by which it is bound. All premiums due on current policies or renewals have been paid, and there is no material default under any of the policies.

    (h)                Personal Property. TEREX has good and marketable title to all of its tangible personal property free and clear of all liens, leases, encumbrances, claims under bailment and storage agreements, equities, conditional sales contracts, security interests, charges, and restrictions, except for liens, if any, for personal property taxes not due. Such property is used by TEREX in the ordinary course of its business and is sufficient for continued conduct of TEREX's business after the Closing Date in substantially the same manner as conducted prior to the Closing Date. Such property is in good operating condition and repair, normal wear and tear excepted, and normal maintenance has been performed.

-6-


    (i)                  Intangible Property. TEREX owns, or possesses, adequate licenses or other valid rights to use all existing United States and foreign patents, trade names, service marks, copyrights, trade secrets, and applications therefor listed in the TEREX Schedule, which are material to its business as currently conducted (the "TEREX Intellectual Property Rights"), except where the failure to have such TEREX Intellectual Property Rights would not reasonably be expected to have an Adverse Effect.  TEREX has the right and authority to use, and to continue to use such TEREX Intellectual Property Rights after the Closing Date, such property in connection with the conduct of its business in the manner presently conducted, and to its knowledge such use or continuing use does not and will not materially infringe upon or violate any rights of any other person, subject to the outcome of the TEREX Litigation. 

    (j)                 Real Property. Except as specified on the TEREX Schedule, TEREX is not a party to any material lease agreements and does not have any interests in any parcel of real property, improved or otherwise.

    (k)               Tax Matters. Within the times and in the manner prescribed by law, TEREX has filed, or will have filed, all federal, state and local tax returns and all tax returns for other governing bodies having jurisdiction to levy taxes upon it that are required to be filed. TEREX has paid all taxes, interest, penalties, assessments and deficiencies that have become due, including without limitation income, franchise, real estate, and sales and withholding taxes. No examinations of the federal, state or local tax returns of TEREX are currently in progress or threatened and no deficiencies have been asserted or to TEREX's knowledge assessed against TEREX as a result of any audit by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority and no such deficiency has been proposed or threatened.

The general ledger and books of account of TEREX, all minute books of TEREX, all federal, state and local income, franchise, property and other tax returns filed by TEREX, all of which have been made available to TRXO, are in all material respects complete and correct and have been maintained in accordance with good business practice and in accordance with all applicable procedures required by laws and regulations, except as would reasonably be expected to have an Adverse Effect.

    (m)              Contracts and Commitments.

Mr. Donald Walford

T-Rex Oil, Inc.

520 Zang Street, Suite 250

Broomfield, Colorado 80021

Dear Mr. Walford:

In accordance with your request, we have estimated the proved reserves and future revenue, as of May 31, 2015, to the T-Rex Oil, Inc. (T-Rex) interest in certain oil properties located in Fremont, Hot Springs, and Park Counties, Wyoming.  We completed our evaluation on or about the date of this letter.  It is our understanding that the proved reserves estimated in this report constitute approximately 99 percent of all proved reserves owned by T-Rex.  The estimates in this report have been prepared in accordance with the definitions and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and conform to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932, Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas, except that future income taxes are excluded for all properties and, as requested, per-well overhead expenses are excluded for the operated properties.   Definitions are presented immediately following this letter.  This report has been prepared for T-Rex's use in filing with the SEC; in our opinion the assumptions, data, methods, and procedures used in the preparation of this report are appropriate for such purpose.

We estimate the oil reserves and future net revenue to the T-Rex interest in these properties, as of May 31, 2015, to be:

The oil volumes shown include crude oil only.  Oil volumes are expressed in thousands of barrels (MBBL); a barrel is equivalent to 42 United States gallons.  Produced gas is flared or consumed in field operations.

The estimates shown in this report are for proved reserves.  As requested, probable and possible reserves that exist for these properties have not been included.  This report does not include any value that could be attributed to interests in undeveloped acreage beyond those tracts for which undeveloped reserves have been estimated.  Reserves categorization conveys the relative degree of certainty; reserves subcategorization is based on development and production status.  The reserves shown in this report have been estimated using a combination of deterministic and probabilistic methods.  The probability that the quantities of oil actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimated amounts is 90 percent for the proved reserves, 50 percent for the proved plus probable reserves, and 10 percent for the proved plus probable plus possible reserves.  The estimates of reserves and future revenue included herein have not been adjusted for risk.

 


Gross revenue is T-Rex's share of the gross (100 percent) revenue from the properties prior to any deductions.  Future net revenue is after deductions for T-Rex's share of production taxes, ad valorem taxes, capital costs, abandonment costs, and operating expenses but before consideration of any income taxes.  The future net revenue has been discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent to determine its present worth, which is shown to indicate the effect of time on the value of money. Future net revenue presented in this report, whether discounted or undiscounted, should not be construed as being the fair market value of the properties.

Oil prices used in this report are based on the 12-month unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month in the period June 2014 through May 2015.  The average West Texas Intermediate posted price of $71.71 per barrel is adjusted by field for quality, transportation fees, and market differentials.  Oil prices are held constant throughout the lives of the properties.  The average adjusted oil price weighted by production over the remaining lives of the properties is $58.61 per barrel. 

Operating costs used in this report are based on operating expense records of T-Rex.  For the nonoperated properties, these costs include the per-well overhead expenses allowed under joint operating agreements along with estimates of costs to be incurred at and below the district and field levels.  As requested, operating costs for the operated properties include only direct lease- and field-level costs.  For all properties, headquarters general and administrative overhead expenses of T-Rex are not included.  Operating costs are not escalated for inflation. 

Capital costs used in this report were provided by T-Rex and are based on authorizations for expenditure and actual costs from recent activity.  Capital costs are included as required for workovers, new development wells, and production equipment.  Based on our understanding of future development plans, a review of the records provided to us, and our knowledge of similar properties, we regard these estimated capital costs to be reasonable.  The development schedule used in this report for estimates of proved undeveloped reserves is dependent upon successful acquisition of financing sufficient to cover future capital costs.  Abandonment costs used in this report are T-Rex's estimates of the costs to abandon the wells and production facilities, net of any salvage value.  Capital costs and abandonment costs are not escalated for inflation.

For the purposes of this report, we did not perform any field inspection of the properties, nor did we examine the mechanical operation or condition of the wells and facilities.  We have not investigated possible environmental liability related to the properties; therefore, our estimates do not include any costs due to such possible liability. 

The reserves shown in this report are estimates only and should not be construed as exact quantities.  Proved reserves are those quantities of oil and gas which, by analysis of engineering and geoscience data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible; probable and possible reserves are those additional reserves which are sequentially less certain to be recovered than proved reserves.  Estimates of reserves may increase or decrease as a result of market conditions, future operations, changes in regulations, or actual reservoir performance.  In addition to the primary economic assumptions discussed herein, our estimates are based on certain assumptions including, but not limited to, that the properties will be developed consistent with current development plans as provided to us by T-Rex, that the properties will be operated in a prudent manner, that no governmental regulations or controls will be put in place that would impact the ability of the interest owner to recover the reserves, and that our projections of future production will prove consistent with actual performance.  If the reserves are recovered, the revenues therefrom and the costs related thereto could be more or less than the estimated amounts.  Because of governmental policies and uncertainties of supply and demand, the sales rates, prices received for the reserves, and costs incurred in recovering such reserves may vary from assumptions made while preparing this report. 

For the purposes of this report, we used technical and economic data including, but not limited to, well logs, geologic maps, well test data, production data, historical price and cost information, and property ownership interests.  The reserves in this report have been estimated using a combination of deterministic and probabilistic methods; these estimates have been prepared in accordance with the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE Standards).  We used standard engineering and geoscience methods, or a combination of


methods, including performance analysis, volumetric analysis, and analogy, that we considered to be appropriate and necessary to categorize and estimate reserves in accordance with SEC definitions and regulations.  A substantial portion of these reserves are for undeveloped locations; such reserves are based on estimates of reservoir volumes and recovery efficiencies along with analogy to properties with similar geologic and reservoir characteristics.  As in all aspects of oil and gas evaluation, there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of engineering and geoscience data; therefore, our conclusions necessarily represent only informed professional judgment. 

The data used in our estimates were obtained from T-Rex, public data sources, and the nonconfidential files of Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (NSAI) and were accepted as accurate.  Supporting work data are on file in our office.  We have not examined the titles to the properties or independently confirmed the actual degree or type of interest owned.  The technical persons primarily responsible for preparing the estimates presented herein meet the requirements regarding qualifications, independence, objectivity, and confidentiality set forth in the SPE Standards.  Steven M. Jenkins, a Licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Texas, has been practicing consulting petroleum engineering at NSAI since 2013 and has over 16 years of prior industry experience.  Shane M. Howell, a Licensed Professional Geoscientist in the State of Texas, has been practicing consulting petroleum geoscience at NSAI since 2005 and has over 7 years of prior industry experience.  We are independent petroleum engineers, geologists, geophysicists, and petrophysicists; we do not own an interest in these properties nor are we employed on a contingent basis.

The following definitions are set forth in U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X Section 210.4‑10(a).  Also included is supplemental information from (1) the 2007 Petroleum Resources Management System approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, (2) the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932, Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas, and (3) the SEC's Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.

(1) Acquisition of properties.  Costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire a property, including costs of lease bonuses and options to purchase or lease properties, the portion of costs applicable to minerals when land including mineral rights is purchased in fee, brokers' fees, recording fees, legal costs, and other costs incurred in acquiring properties.

(2) Analogous reservoir.  Analogous reservoirs, as used in resources assessments, have similar rock and fluid properties, reservoir conditions (depth, temperature, and pressure) and drive mechanisms, but are typically at a more advanced stage of development than the reservoir of interest and thus may provide concepts to assist in the interpretation of more limited data and estimation of recovery.  When used to support proved reserves, an "analogous reservoir" refers to a reservoir that shares the following characteristics with the reservoir of interest:

    (i)   Same geological formation (but not necessarily in pressure communication with the reservoir of interest);

    (ii)   Same environment of deposition;

    (iii)  Similar geological structure; and

    (iv)  Same drive mechanism.

Instruction to paragraph (a)(2): Reservoir properties must, in the aggregate, be no more favorable in the analog than in the reservoir of interest.

(3) Bitumen.  Bitumen, sometimes referred to as natural bitumen, is petroleum in a solid or semi-solid state in natural deposits with a viscosity greater than 10,000 centipoise measured at original temperature in the deposit and atmospheric pressure, on a gas free basis.  In its natural state it usually contains sulfur, metals, and other non-hydrocarbons.

(4) Condensate.  Condensate is a mixture of hydrocarbons that exists in the gaseous phase at original reservoir temperature and pressure, but that, when produced, is in the liquid phase at surface pressure and temperature.

(5) Deterministic estimate.  The method of estimating reserves or resources is called deterministic when a single value for each parameter (from the geoscience, engineering, or economic data) in the reserves calculation is used in the reserves estimation procedure.

(6) Developed oil and gas reserves.  Developed oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that can be expected to be recovered:

    (i)   Through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of the required equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and

    (ii)   Through installed extraction equipment and infrastructure operational at the time of the reserves estimate if the extraction is by means not involving a well.

Supplemental definitions from the 2007 Petroleum Resources Management System:

Developed Producing Reserves - Developed Producing Reserves are expected to be recovered from completion intervals that are open and producing at the time of the estimate.  Improved recovery reserves are considered producing only after the improved recovery project is in operation.

Developed Non-Producing Reserves - Developed Non-Producing Reserves include shut-in and behind-pipe Reserves.  Shut-in Reserves are expected to be recovered from (1) completion intervals which are open at the time of the estimate but which have not yet started producing, (2) wells which were shut-in for market conditions or pipeline connections, or (3) wells not capable of production for mechanical reasons.  Behind-pipe Reserves are expected to be recovered from zones in existing wells which will require additional completion work or future recompletion prior to start of production.  In all cases, production can be initiated or restored with relatively low expenditure compared to the cost of drilling a new well.

(7) Development costs.  Costs incurred to obtain access to proved reserves and to provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering and storing the oil and gas.  More specifically, development costs, including depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of development activities, are costs incurred to:

    (i)   Gain access to and prepare well locations for drilling, including surveying well locations for the purpose of determining specific development drilling sites, clearing ground, draining, road building, and relocating public roads, gas lines, and power lines, to the extent necessary in developing the proved reserves.

    (ii)   Drill and equip development wells, development-type stratigraphic test wells, and service wells, including the costs of platforms and of well equipment such as casing, tubing, pumping equipment, and the wellhead assembly.

    (iii)  Acquire, construct, and install production facilities such as lease flow lines, separators, treaters, heaters, manifolds, measuring devices, and production storage tanks, natural gas cycling and processing plants, and central utility and waste disposal systems.

    (iv)  Provide improved recovery systems.

(8) Development project.  A development project is the means by which petroleum resources are brought to the status of economically producible.  As examples, the development of a single reservoir or field, an incremental development in a producing field, or the integrated development of a group of several fields and associated facilities with a common ownership may constitute a development project.

(9) Development well.  A well drilled within the proved area of an oil or gas reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.

(10) Economically producible.  The term economically producible, as it relates to a resource, means a resource which generates revenue that exceeds, or is reasonably expected to exceed, the costs of the operation.  The value of the products that generate revenue shall be determined at the terminal point of oil and gas producing activities as defined in paragraph (a)(16) of this section.

(11) Estimated ultimate recovery (EUR).  Estimated ultimate recovery is the sum of reserves remaining as of a given date and cumulative production as of that date.

(12) Exploration costs.  Costs incurred in identifying areas that may warrant examination and in examining specific areas that are considered to have prospects of containing oil and gas reserves, including costs of drilling exploratory wells and exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells.  Exploration costs may be incurred both before acquiring the related property (sometimes referred to in part as prospecting costs) and after acquiring the property.  Principal types of exploration costs, which include depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of exploration activities, are:

    (i)   Costs of topographical, geographical and geophysical studies, rights of access to properties to conduct those studies, and salaries and other expenses of geologists, geophysical crews, and others conducting those studies.  Collectively, these are sometimes referred to as geological and geophysical or "G&G" costs.

    (ii)   Costs of carrying and retaining undeveloped properties, such as delay rentals, ad valorem taxes on properties, legal costs for title defense, and the maintenance of land and lease records.

    (iii)  Dry hole contributions and bottom hole contributions.

    (iv)  Costs of drilling and equipping exploratory wells.

    (v)   Costs of drilling exploratory-type stratigraphic test wells.

(13) Exploratory well.  An exploratory well is a well drilled to find a new field or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas in another reservoir.  Generally, an exploratory well is any well that is not a development well, an extension well, a service well, or a stratigraphic test well as those items are defined in this section.

(14) Extension well.  An extension well is a well drilled to extend the limits of a known reservoir.

(15) Field.  An area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on or related to the same individual geological structural feature and/or stratigraphic condition.  There may be two or more reservoirs in a field which are separated vertically by intervening impervious strata, or laterally by local geologic barriers, or by both.  Reservoirs that are associated by being in overlapping or adjacent fields may be treated as a single or common operational field.  The geological terms "structural feature" and "stratigraphic condition" are intended to identify localized geological features as opposed to the broader terms of basins, trends, provinces, plays, areas-of-interest, etc.

(16) Oil and gas producing activities.

    (i)   Oil and gas producing activities include:

            (A)  The search for crude oil, including condensate and natural gas liquids, or natural gas ("oil and gas") in their natural states and original locations;

            (B)  The acquisition of property rights or properties for the purpose of further exploration or for the purpose of removing the oil or gas from such properties;

            (C)  The construction, drilling, and production activities necessary to retrieve oil and gas from their natural reservoirs, including the acquisition, construction, installation, and maintenance of field gathering and storage systems, such as:

                (1)  Lifting the oil and gas to the surface; and

                (2)  Gathering, treating, and field processing (as in the case of processing gas to extract liquid hydrocarbons); and

            (D)  Extraction of saleable hydrocarbons, in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state, from oil sands, shale, coalbeds, or other nonrenewable natural resources which are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas, and activities undertaken with a view to such extraction.

Instruction 1 to paragraph (a)(16)(i): The oil and gas production function shall be regarded as ending at a "terminal point", which is the outlet valve on the lease or field storage tank.  If unusual physical or operational circumstances exist, it may be appropriate to regard the terminal point for the production function as:

    a.   The first point at which oil, gas, or gas liquids, natural or synthetic, are delivered to a main pipeline, a common carrier, a refinery, or a marine terminal; and

    b.   In the case of natural resources that are intended to be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas, if those natural resources are delivered to a purchaser prior to upgrading, the first point at which the natural resources are delivered to a main pipeline, a common carrier, a refinery, a marine terminal, or a facility which upgrades such natural resources into synthetic oil or gas.

Instruction 2 to paragraph (a)(16)(i): For purposes of this paragraph (a)(16), the term saleable hydrocarbons means hydrocarbons that are saleable in the state in which the hydrocarbons are delivered.

    (ii)   Oil and gas producing activities do not include:

            (A)  Transporting, refining, or marketing oil and gas;

            (B)  Processing of produced oil, gas, or natural resources that can be upgraded into synthetic oil or gas by a registrant that does not have the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in such production;

            (C)  Activities relating to the production of natural resources other than oil, gas, or natural resources from which synthetic oil and gas can be extracted; or

            (D)  Production of geothermal steam.

(17) Possible reserves.  Possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves.

    (i)   When deterministic methods are used, the total quantities ultimately recovered from a project have a low probability of exceeding proved plus probable plus possible reserves.  When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10% probability that the total quantities ultimately recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates.

 

Definitions - Page 3 of 7


 

    (ii)   Possible reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to probable reserves where data control and interpretations of available data are progressively less certain.  Frequently, this will be in areas where geoscience and engineering data are unable to define clearly the area and vertical limits of commercial production from the reservoir by a defined project.

    (iii)  Possible reserves also include incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than the recovery quantities assumed for probable reserves.

    (iv)  The proved plus probable and proved plus probable plus possible reserves estimates must be based on reasonable alternative technical and commercial interpretations within the reservoir or subject project that are clearly documented, including comparisons to results in successful similar projects.

    (v)   Possible reserves may be assigned where geoscience and engineering data identify directly adjacent portions of a reservoir within the same accumulation that may be separated from proved areas by faults with displacement less than formation thickness or other geological discontinuities and that have not been penetrated by a wellbore, and the registrant believes that such adjacent portions are in communication with the known (proved) reservoir.  Possible reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher or lower than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.

    (vi)  Pursuant to paragraph (a)(22)(iii) of this section, where direct observation has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves should be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir above the HKO only if the higher contact can be established with reasonable certainty through reliable technology.  Portions of the reservoir that do not meet this reasonable certainty criterion may be assigned as probable and possible oil or gas based on reservoir fluid properties and pressure gradient interpretations.

(18) Probable reserves.  Probable reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves but which, together with proved reserves, are as likely as not to be recovered.

    (i)   When deterministic methods are used, it is as likely as not that actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of estimated proved plus probable reserves.  When probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50% probability that the actual quantities recovered will equal or exceed the proved plus probable reserves estimates.

    (ii)   Probable reserves may be assigned to areas of a reservoir adjacent to proved reserves where data control or interpretations of available data are less certain, even if the interpreted reservoir continuity of structure or productivity does not meet the reasonable certainty criterion.  Probable reserves may be assigned to areas that are structurally higher than the proved area if these areas are in communication with the proved reservoir.

    (iii)  Probable reserves estimates also include potential incremental quantities associated with a greater percentage recovery of the hydrocarbons in place than assumed for proved reserves.

    (iv)  See also guidelines in paragraphs (a)(17)(iv) and (a)(17)(vi) of this section.

(19) Probabilistic estimate.  The method of estimation of reserves or resources is called probabilistic when the full range of values that could reasonably occur for each unknown parameter (from the geoscience and engineering data) is used to generate a full range of possible outcomes and their associated probabilities of occurrence.

(20) Production costs.

    (i)   Costs incurred to operate and maintain wells and related equipment and facilities, including depreciation and applicable operating costs of support equipment and facilities and other costs of operating and maintaining those wells and related equipment and facilities.  They become part of the cost of oil and gas produced.  Examples of production costs (sometimes called lifting costs) are:

            (A)  Costs of labor to operate the wells and related equipment and facilities.

            (B)  Repairs and maintenance.

            (C)  Materials, supplies, and fuel consumed and supplies utilized in operating the wells and related equipment and facilities.

 

Definitions - Page 4 of 7


            (D)  Property taxes and insurance applicable to proved properties and wells and related equipment and facilities.

            (E)  Severance taxes.

    (ii)   Some support equipment or facilities may serve two or more oil and gas producing activities and may also serve transportation, refining, and marketing activities.  To the extent that the support equipment and facilities are used in oil and gas producing activities, their depreciation and applicable operating costs become exploration, development or production costs, as appropriate.  Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of capitalized acquisition, exploration, and development costs are not production costs but also become part of the cost of oil and gas produced along with production (lifting) costs identified above.

(21) Proved area.  The part of a property to which proved reserves have been specifically attributed.

(22) Proved oil and gas reserves.  Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible-from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations-prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation.  The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

    (i)   The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes:  

            (A)  The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and

            (B)  Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.

    (ii)   In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (LKH) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.

    (iii)  Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (HKO) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.

    (iv)  Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when:

            (A)  Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and

            (B)  The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

    (v)   Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined.  The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

(23) Proved properties.  Properties with proved reserves.

(24) Reasonable certainty.  If deterministic methods are used, reasonable certainty means a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered.  If

 

Definitions - Page 5 of 7


 

probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate.  A high degree of confidence exists if the quantity is much more likely to be achieved than not, and, as changes due to increased availability of geoscience (geological, geophysical, and geochemical), engineering, and economic data are made to estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) with time, reasonably certain EUR is much more likely to increase or remain constant than to decrease.

(25) Reliable technology.  Reliable technology is a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that has been field tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation.

(26) Reserves.  Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations.  In addition, there must exist, or there must be a reasonable expectation that there will exist, the legal right to produce or a revenue interest in the production, installed means of delivering oil and gas or related substances to market, and all permits and financing required to implement the project.

Note to paragraph (a)(26): Reserves should not be assigned to adjacent reservoirs isolated by major, potentially sealing, faults until those reservoirs are penetrated and evaluated as economically producible.  Reserves should not be assigned to areas that are clearly separated from a known accumulation by a non-productive reservoir (i.e., absence of reservoir, structurally low reservoir, or negative test results). Such areas may contain prospective resources (i.e., potentially recoverable resources from undiscovered accumulations).

Excerpted from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 932, Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas:

932-235-50-30  A standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to an entity's interests in both of the following shall be disclosed as of the end of the year:

    a.   Proved oil and gas reserves (see paragraphs 932-235-50-3 through 50-11B)

    b.   Oil and gas subject to purchase under long-term supply, purchase, or similar agreements and contracts in which the entity participates in the operation of the properties on which the oil or gas is located or otherwise serves as the producer of those reserves (see paragraph 932-235-50-7).

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to those two types of interests in reserves may be combined for reporting purposes. 

932-235-50-31  All of the following information shall be disclosed in the aggregate and for each geographic area for which reserve quantities are disclosed in accordance with paragraphs 932-235-50-3 through 50-11B:

    a.   Future cash inflows.  These shall be computed by applying prices used in estimating the entity's proved oil and gas reserves to the year-end quantities of those reserves.  Future price changes shall be considered only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements in existence at year-end.

    b.   Future development and production costs.  These costs shall be computed by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.  If estimated development expenditures are significant, they shall be presented separately from estimated production costs.

    c.   Future income tax expenses.  These expenses shall be computed by applying the appropriate year-end statutory tax rates, with consideration of future tax rates already legislated, to the future pretax net cash flows relating to the entity's proved oil and gas reserves, less the tax basis of the properties involved.  The future income tax expenses shall give effect to tax deductions and tax credits and allowances relating to the entity's proved oil and gas reserves.

    d.   Future net cash flows.  These amounts are the result of subtracting future development and production costs and future income tax expenses from future cash inflows.

    e.   Discount.  This amount shall be derived from using a discount rate of 10 percent a year to reflect the timing of the future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves.

    f.    Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows.  This amount is the future net cash flows less the computed discount. 

(27) Reservoir.  A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible oil and/or gas that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is individual and separate from other reservoirs.

 

Definitions - Page 6 of 7


(28) Resources.  Resources are quantities of oil and gas estimated to exist in naturally occurring accumulations.  A portion of the resources may be estimated to be recoverable, and another portion may be considered to be unrecoverable.  Resources include both discovered and undiscovered accumulations.

(29) Service well.  A well drilled or completed for the purpose of supporting production in an existing field.  Specific purposes of service wells include gas injection, water injection, steam injection, air injection, salt-water disposal, water supply for injection, observation, or injection for in-situ combustion.

(30) Stratigraphic test well.  A stratigraphic test well is a drilling effort, geologically directed, to obtain information pertaining to a specific geologic condition.  Such wells customarily are drilled without the intent of being completed for hydrocarbon production.  The classification also includes tests identified as core tests and all types of expendable holes related to hydrocarbon exploration.  Stratigraphic tests are classified as "exploratory type" if not drilled in a known area or "development type" if drilled in a known area.

(31) Undeveloped oil and gas reserves.  Undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves of any category that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion.

    (i)   Reserves on undrilled acreage shall be limited to those directly offsetting development spacing areas that are reasonably certain of production when drilled, unless evidence using reliable technology exists that establishes reasonable certainty of economic producibility at greater distances.

    (ii)   Undrilled locations can be classified as having undeveloped reserves only if a development plan has been adopted indicating that they are scheduled to be drilled within five years, unless the specific circumstances, justify a longer time.

From the SEC's Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (October 26, 2009):

Although several types of projects - such as constructing offshore platforms and development in urban areas, remote locations or environmentally sensitive locations - by their nature customarily take a longer time to develop and therefore often do justify longer time periods, this determination must always take into consideration all of the facts and circumstances. No particular type of project per se justifies a longer time period, and any extension beyond five years should be the exception, and not the rule.

Factors that a company should consider in determining whether or not circumstances justify recognizing reserves even though development may extend past five years include, but are not limited to, the following:

    *    The company's level of ongoing significant development activities in the area to be developed (for example, drilling only the minimum number of wells necessary to maintain the lease generally would not constitute significant development activities);

    *    The company's historical record at completing development of comparable long-term projects;

    *    The amount of time in which the company has maintained the leases, or booked the reserves, without significant development activities;

    *    The extent to which the company has followed a previously adopted development plan (for example, if a company has changed its development plan several times without taking significant steps to implement any of those plans, recognizing proved undeveloped reserves typically would not be appropriate); and

    *    The extent to which delays in development are caused by external factors related to the physical operating environment (for example, restrictions on development on Federal lands, but not obtaining government permits), rather than by internal factors (for example, shifting resources to develop properties with higher priority).

    (iii)  Under no circumstances shall estimates for undeveloped reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual projects in the same reservoir or an analogous reservoir, as defined in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, or by other evidence using reliable technology establishing reasonable certainty.

(32) Unproved properties.  Properties with no proved reserves.
