NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of PEDEVCO CORP. (formerly Blast Energy Services, Inc.) (“PEDEVCO” or the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in PEDEVCO’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, as reported in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014, as amended, have been omitted.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

PEDEVCO’s primary business plan is engaging in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas shale plays in the United States, with a secondary focus on conventional oil and natural gas plays.

The Company’s principal operating properties are located in the Wattenberg, Wattenberg Extension, and Niobrara formation in the Denver-Julesburg Basin (the “DJ Basin”) in Morgan and Weld Counties, Colorado. The majority of these properties are owned directly by the Company or through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC.

The Company owns a 20% interest in Condor Energy Technology, LLC (“Condor”). Condor’s operations consist primarily of working interests in oil and gas leases in the Niobrara shale formation located in the DJ Basin in Morgan and Weld Counties, Colorado. The remaining interest in Condor is owned by an affiliate of MIE Holdings Corporation (Hong Kong Stock Exchange code: 1555.HK), one of the largest independent upstream onshore oil companies in China (“MIE Holdings”). In addition, the Company has made a direct investment into the drilling and completion of the first three wells that Condor has drilled and completed.

The Company plans to focus on the development of shale oil and gas assets held by the Company in the U.S., including its first oil and gas working interests in the Niobrara shale formation located in the DJ Basin in Morgan and Weld Counties, Colorado (the “Niobrara Asset”), its oil and gas working interests in the Mississippian Lime play in Kansas (the “Mississippian Asset”), and its recently acquired oil and gas working interests in the Wattenberg and Wattenberg Extension in the DJ Basin (the “Wattenberg Asset”), which it acquired in March 2014 from Continental Resources, Inc. (“Continental”).

To further develop the business plan, in the first quarter of 2014, the Company entered into a financing transaction with investors to acquire the Wattenberg Asset and provide partial funding for the Company’s 2014 drilling plan. In connection with the transaction, the Company sold a portion of its interests to Golden Globe Energy Corp. (“Golden Globe”, formerly known as RJ Resources Corp.) in its Mississippian Asset, its Wattenberg Asset and its pending interest in Asia Sixth Energy Resources Limited (“Asia Sixth”). See Note 4.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company also owned an average 98% working interest in leases covering the Mississippian Lime in Comanche, Harper, Barber and Kiowa Counties, Kansas. In connection with the financing of the Wattenberg Asset acquisition, the Company sold 50% of its equity investment in Pacific Energy Development MSL, LLC, which holds the Mississippian Asset, to Golden Globe. See Note 4. Therefore, as of March 7, 2014, the Company owned an indirect 49% working interest in leases in the Mississippian Asset. The Company serves as the operator of this asset. The Company does not believe it will be able to drill and complete the three horizontal wells necessary to hold this acreage by December 29, 2014. However, the Company is in current discussions to extend the primary term of the term assignment and believes that an extension will be obtained, although there can be no assurances that an extension will be obtained on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If the Company successfully obtains the primary term assignment extension, the Company anticipates that the drilling of the three wells will commence in the first half of 2015. If, however, the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining an extension of the primary term assignment, and the Company’s term assignment expires with respect to the Mississippian Asset, the Company will likely be required to impair the Mississippian Asset in full.

F-7

In 2013, the Company entered into a Shares Subscription Agreement (“SSA”) to acquire an approximate 51% ownership in Asia Sixth Energy Resources Limited (“Asia Sixth”), a British Virgin Islands entity, which holds an approximate 60% ownership interest in Aral Petroleum Capital Limited Partnership (“Aral”), a Kazakhstan entity. Aral holds a production license covering a 380,000 acre oil and gas producing asset located in the Pre-Caspian Basin in Kazakhstan. On August 1, 2014, the Company entered into a series of agreements pursuant to which it restructured its planned acquisition of interests in Asia Sixth, whereby it terminated the previous SSA and entered into a new purchase agreement (the “Caspian SPA”) to acquire a 5% interest in Caspian Energy Inc. (“Caspian Energy”), an Ontario, Canada company listed on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange, which entity will hold 100% of the ownership in Aral at closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated under the Caspian SPA are anticipated to occur no later than July 2015, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions including the approval of the government of Kazakhstan and receipt of Caspian Energy shareholder approval of the transaction. See Note 6.

As of January 1, 2013, the Company owned a 50% interest in White Hawk Petroleum, LLC (“White Hawk”). White Hawk’s operations consisted primarily of working interests in oil and gas leases in the Eagle Ford shale formation in McMullen County, Texas. The remaining interest in White Hawk was owned by an affiliate of MIE Holdings, MIE Jurassic Energy Corporation (“MIEJ”). On December 20, 2013, White Hawk entered into a series of transactions pursuant to which White Hawk divested approximately 50% of its assets and used the funds from the divestiture to acquire MIEJ’s interest in White Hawk. MIEJ then withdrew from White Hawk as a member on December 31, 2013, with the Company’s effective interests in the Eagle Ford shale assets remaining unchanged and unaffected by the transactions. As a result of the transactions, the Company became the 100% owner of White Hawk. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2013, the Company has accounted for White Hawk as a consolidated subsidiary of the Company and no longer accounts for the entity as an equity investment. In addition, on February 19, 2014, White Hawk sold its remaining interests in the Eagle Ford Shale play for net proceeds of $2,718,158. See Note 4.

In addition, effective September 1, 2014, the Company sold its remaining right, title and interest in its non-core North Sugar Valley asset in Matagorda County, Texas, to Sun Resources Texas Inc. for net cash proceeds of $50,250. The vertical wells on this asset have been uneconomic and shut-in for much of 2014, and the Company elected to divest this non-core asset rather than incur additional well remediation and work-over expenses where success of such operations was uncertain. Upon divestiture of this asset, the Company also received a reimbursement of $164,619 from the operator for certain pre-paid work-over expenses which were not used. See Note 4.

The Company plans to seek additional shale oil and gas and conventional oil and gas asset acquisition opportunities in the U.S. through utilizing its strategic relationships and technologies that may provide the Company a competitive advantage in accessing and exploring such assets. Some or all of these assets may be acquired by existing subsidiaries or equity investees, or other entities that may be formed at a future date.

- White Hawk Petroleum, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company owned 50% by the Company and 50% by an affiliate of MIE Holdings through December 30, 2013. Through December 30, 2013, the Company accounted for its 50% interest in White Hawk using the equity method. As a result of a series of transactions pursuant to which MIEJ divested its 50% interest in White Hawk as of December 31, 2013, White Hawk became a consolidated subsidiary effective on December 31, 2013.

Non-Controlling Interests. The Company is required to report its non-controlling interests as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The Company is also required to present the consolidated net income and the portion of the consolidated net income allocable to the non-controlling interests and to the shareholders of the Company separately in its consolidated statements of operations. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests are allocated to the non-controlling interests even when those losses are in excess of the non-controlling interests' investment basis.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Preparation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as certain financial statement disclosures. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates generally include those with respect to the amount of recoverable oil and gas reserves, the fair value of financial instruments, oil and gas depletion, asset retirement obligations, and stock-based compensation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, cash equivalents consisted of money market funds and cash on deposit.

Concentrations of Credit Risk. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash deposits placed with financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits as guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). At September 30, 2014, approximately $8,140,655 of the Company’s cash balances were uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

Sales to one customer comprised 42% of the Company’s total oil and gas revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Sales to one customer comprised 75% of the Company’s total oil and gas revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company believes that, in the event that its primary customers are unable or unwilling to continue to purchase the Company’s production, there are a substantial number of alternative buyers for its production at comparable prices.

Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable typically consist of oil and gas receivables. The Company has classified these as short-term assets in the balance sheet because the Company expects repayment or recovery within the next 12 months. The Company evaluates these accounts receivable for collectability considering the results of operations of these related entities and when necessary records allowances for expected unrecoverable amounts. To date, no allowances have been recorded. Included in accounts receivable - oil and gas is $410,430 of working capital receivables related to the acquisition of the Wattenberg Asset and $504,310 related to receivables from joint interest owners.

Revenue Recognition. All revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service or sale is complete, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is derived from the sale of crude oil and natural gas. Revenue from crude oil and natural gas sales is recognized when the product is delivered to the purchaser and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company follows the “sales method” of accounting for oil and natural gas revenue, so it recognizes revenue on all natural gas or crude oil sold to purchasers, regardless of whether the sales are proportionate to its ownership in the property. A receivable or liability is recognized only to the extent that the Company has an imbalance on a specific property greater than its share of the expected remaining proved reserves. If collection is uncertain, revenue is recognized when cash is collected.

Equipment. Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Renewals and betterments which extend the life or improve existing equipment are capitalized. Upon disposition or retirement of equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 to 10 years.

Oil and Gas Properties, Successful Efforts Method. The successful efforts method of accounting is used for oil and gas exploration and production activities. Under this method, all costs for development wells, support equipment and facilities, and proved mineral interests in oil and gas properties are capitalized. Geological and geophysical costs are expensed when incurred. Costs of exploratory wells are capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets pending determination of whether the wells find proved oil and gas reserves. Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil and natural gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, (i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made). Prices include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future conditions.

F-9

Exploratory wells in areas not requiring major capital expenditures are evaluated for economic viability within one year of completion of drilling. The related well costs are expensed as dry holes if it is determined that such economic viability is not attained. Otherwise, the related well costs are reclassified to oil and gas properties and subject to impairment review. For exploratory wells that are found to have economically viable reserves in areas where major capital expenditure will be required before production can commence, the related well costs remain capitalized only if additional drilling is under way or firmly planned. Otherwise the related well costs are expensed as dry holes.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred subsequent to the acquisition of an exploration asset in a business combination are accounted for in accordance with the policy outlined above.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization of capitalized oil and gas properties is calculated on a field by field basis using the unit of production method. Lease acquisition costs are amortized over the total estimated proved developed and undeveloped reserves and all other capitalized costs are amortized over proved developed reserves.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and estimated fair value.

Asset Retirement Obligations. If a reasonable estimate of the fair value of an obligation to perform site reclamation, dismantle facilities or plug and abandon wells can be made, the Company will record a liability (an asset retirement obligation or “ARO”) on its consolidated balance sheet and capitalize the present value of the asset retirement cost in oil and gas properties in the period in which the retirement obligation is incurred. In general, the amount of an ARO and the costs capitalized will be equal to the estimated future cost to satisfy the abandonment obligation assuming the normal operation of the asset, using current prices that are escalated by an assumed inflation factor up to the estimated settlement date, which is then discounted back to the date that the abandonment obligation was incurred using an assumed cost of funds for the Company. After recording these amounts, the ARO will be accreted to its future estimated value using the same assumed cost of funds and the capitalized costs are depreciated on a unit-of-production basis over the estimated proved developed reserves. Both the accretion and the depreciation will be included in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense on our consolidated statements of operations.

Deferred Financing Costs. We have incurred debt origination costs in connection with the issuance of long-term debt. These costs are capitalized as deferred financing costs and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt.

Income Taxes. The Company utilizes the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that the value of such assets will be realized.

Stock-Based Compensation. We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances.

The Company estimates volatility by considering the historical stock volatility. The Company has opted to use the simplified method for estimating expected term, which is generally equal to the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term.

Earnings or Loss per Common Share. Basic earnings per common share equal net earnings or loss divided by weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the impact on dilution from all contingently issuable shares, including options, warrants and convertible securities. The common stock equivalents from contingent shares are determined by the treasury stock method. The Company incurred net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share for those periods are the same as all potential common equivalent shares would be anti-dilutive. The Company excluded 1,311,024 and 1,443,724 potentially issuable shares of common stock related to options, 2,986,704 and 2,886,686 potentially issuable shares of common stock related to warrants and 545,044 and 0 potentially issuable shares of common stock related to the conversion of Bridge Notes due to their anti-dilutive effect for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

F-10

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), which clarifies fair value as an exit price, establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework for measuring fair value, and requires extended disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 apply to all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

As defined in ASC 820, fair value, clarified as an exit price, represents the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a result, fair value is a market-based approach that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

As a basis for considering these assumptions, ASC 820 defines a three-tier value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value.

	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during the nine months of 2014, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.

Subsequent Events. The Company has evaluated all transactions through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

The Company recorded impairment expense for expired leasehold costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, in the amount of $321,912 and $353,589, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company participated in the drilling of three operated wells and four non-operated wells in the Wattenberg Asset in the amount of approximately $3.5 million.

Acquisition of Properties from Continental Resources, Inc.

On January 21, 2014, Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC (“Red Hawk”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Continental, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire Continental’s interests (the “Continental Acquisition”) in approximately 28,727 net acres of oil and gas properties and interests in 38 wells located in the Niobrara formation of the DJ Basin, Colorado, including approximately 2,200 net acres in the Wattenberg Area, for $30 million in cash (subject to customary post-closing adjustments).

F-11

The Company paid $1.5 million of the purchase price as a deposit upon entering into the Purchase Agreement (the “Deposit”). The final purchase price after adjustments was $28,521,822, resulting in $27,031,822 due to Continental after applying the Deposit (the “Final Purchase Price”) (representing an adjusted total of 27,990 net acres at closing).

On March 7, 2014, the Company completed the Continental Acquisition and used a portion of funds from the initial closing of a $50 million financing facility with RJ Credit LLC (“RJC”) and other lenders of which $34.5 million was borrowed initially to pay the Final Purchase Price to acquire Continental's properties. As described below, the Note Purchase Agreement further required that the Company convey 50% of the lease acreage and working interests acquired from Continental to Golden Globe as additional consideration for the financing.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired:

Fair value at March 7, 2014
Accounts receivable – oil and gas	$	445,749

NOTE 5 – SALE OF 50% OF PACIFIC ENERGY DEVELOPMENT MSL, LLC.

On March 15, 2013, we acquired an average 97% working interest in the Mississippian Lime covering approximately 7,006 gross (6,763 net) acres located in Comanche, Harper, Barber and Kiowa Counties, Kansas, which we refer to as the Mississippian Asset, and approximately 10.5 square miles of related 3-D seismic data. Also on March 15, 2013, we acquired certain additional working interests in the same acreage located in Comanche, Harper, and Kiowa Counties, Kansas, bringing our average working interest to 98% in the Mississippian Asset covering an aggregate of approximately 7,006 gross (6,885 net) acres.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company owned an average 98% working interest in leases covering the Mississippian Lime in Comanche, Harper, Barber and Kiowa Counties, Kansas. These assets are held by Pacific Energy Development MSL, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (100% owned by us prior to March 7, 2014).

On March 7, 2014, in connection with our acquisition of the Wattenberg Asset, we entered into a $50 million 3-year term debt facility with various investors including RJC. As part of the transaction, Golden Globe (an affiliate of RJC) acquired 50% of our ownership interest in Pacific Energy Development MSL, LLC, which holds our Mississippian Asset, thereby making Golden Globe a 50% working interest partner with us in the development of our Mississippian Asset. The Company allocated the proceeds from the financing between the debt obligation, the sale of the properties and the sale of 50% of MSL on a relative fair value basis. To the extent the sales price attributable to the assets was less than the net book value, the Company recorded a loss on sale of assets. See Note 9.

The following table presents the loss on this sale:

		Allocated Proceeds				Historical Cost				Loss on Sale
Mississippian Asset		$	1,615,488			$	2,643,682			$	(1,028,194	)

NOTE 6 – DEPOSIT FOR BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On September 11, 2013, the Company entered into a Shares Subscription Agreement (“SSA”) to acquire an approximate 51% ownership in Asia Sixth Energy Resources Limited (“Asia Sixth”), which holds an approximate 60% ownership interest in Aral Petroleum Capital Limited Partnership (“Aral”), a Kazakhstan entity. Aral holds a 100% operated working interest in a production license issued by the Republic of Kazakhstan that expires in 2034 in western Kazakhstan (the “Contract Area”). As previously contemplated under the SSA, the Company would acquire shares of Asia Sixth representing 51% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Asia Sixth (the “Asia Sixth Shares”), in exchange for the payment by the Company of $10 million to Asia Sixth (the “Deposit”), which was previously paid by the Company to Asia Sixth in 2013. Subsequent to the Company’s entry into the SSA, in connection with the Company’s closing of its acquisition of certain assets from Continental Resources, Inc. and entry into a debt facility with RJC and affiliates thereof, the Company assigned 50% of its right and interest to acquire the capital stock of Asia Sixth to Golden Globe and 50% of the deposit in the event the transaction with Asia Sixth was terminated, with Golden Globe also assuming a 50% obligation to fund the Final Subscription Price to the extent due to Asia Sixth at closing.

F-14

Under the SSA, the Company and its partners planned to take control of Aral through the acquisition of a 51% controlling interest in Asia Sixth, by way of subscription of shares of Asia Sixth, which in turn currently holds a 60% controlling interest in Aral. Asia Sixth’s interest in Aral was scheduled to increase to 66.5% following the completion of certain transactions to occur between Asia Sixth and Asia Sixth’s partner in Aral that currently holds the remaining 40% interest in Aral (the “Aral Transactions”).

The Company paid an initial deposit of $8 million in September 2013 and a subsequent deposit of $2 million on October 1, 2013 to Asia Sixth, and could have been required to increase its deposit by up to $10 million, to a total of $20 million, contingent upon receipt of payment in full to the Company from an investor under a promissory note maturing in December 2013 in connection with a subscription of shares and warrants in the Company. The investor failed to pay the $10 million balance due under the Note by December 1, 2013. On December 1, 2013, the Company granted a verbal extension to the investor pending further discussions regarding the investment. Following discussions with the investor, the investor elected to forego making a further investment. Accordingly, on March 7, 2014, the Company notified the investor that, effective immediately, certain shares and warrants subject to the subscription were rescinded as permitted pursuant to the terms of the promissory note, and the promissory note was cancelled and forgiven, with no further action required by the investor (the “Cancellation”). The stock subscription receivable related to 3,333,333 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 999,999 shares of common stock in the amount of $10 million was extinguished as of March 7, 2014. No gain or loss was recognized.

The rescission of the promissory note had no net effect on us or our obligations under the SSA because (a) if such promissory note was paid in full we would have been required to pay such funds directly to Asia Sixth; and (b) the result of such funds not being paid only results in a decrease in the required deposit due to Asia Sixth.

We have also entered into an agreement with our strategic partner, Golden Globe to convey 50% of our interests in Asia Sixth in connection with the Golden Globe financing. See Note 9. In the event of any refund of the initial deposit by Asia Sixth, the Company must provide 50% of such refund to Golden Globe or its designee.

In connection with the March 2014 financing, the Company allocated $3,055,374 of the proceeds from the debt financing to the 50% interest in Asia Sixth and recorded a loss on sale of 50% of its interests in Asia Sixth of $1,944,626. See Note 9.

On August 1, 2014, the Company entered into a series of agreements pursuant to which the Company restructured its planned acquisition of indirect interests in Aral in order to simplify and consolidate the capital structure and management of Aral and its disparate stakeholders, improve the debt position of Aral, provide Aral with additional financing to fund its operations going forward, and eliminate any and all funding obligations the Company may have had under the previously contemplated ownership structure (collectively, the “Aral Restructuring”). In connection with the Aral Restructuring, the Company entered into a series of agreements pursuant to which it restructured its planned acquisition of indirect interests in Aral through its direct acquisition of interests in Asia Sixth, whereby it terminated the previous SSA and entered into a new purchase agreement (the “Caspian SPA”) to acquire a 5.0% interest in Caspian Energy Inc. (“Caspian Energy”), an Ontario, Canada company listed on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange, and pursuant to which Caspian Energy will hold 100% of the ownership in Aral at closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated under the Caspian SPA are anticipated to occur no later than July 2015, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions including the approval of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the Protection of Competition and the Ministry of Oil and Gas of the Republic of Kazakhstan (“MOG”), the MOG’s waiver of its pre-emptive purchase right with respect to the transaction, and receipt of Caspian Energy shareholder approval of the transaction.

Also in connection with the Aral Restructuring, on August 1, 2014 the Company entered into a Termination Agreement of the Shares Subscription Agreement (SSA) dated September 11, 2013, between The Sixth Energy Limited (“Sixth Energy”), Asia Sixth and Pacific Energy Development Corp.’s (the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, “PEDCO”) (the “Termination Agreement”). The Termination Agreement provides for the termination of the previous SSA as a precondition to the Aral Restructuring. Under the Termination Agreement, the Company received a promissory note in the principal amount of $5.0 million from Asia Sixth (the “A6 Promissory Note”), secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of Asia Sixth. The A6 Promissory Note represents the Company’s interest in the deposit originally paid to Asia Sixth by the Company under the SSA following the assignment of 50% of the Company's right and interest to acquire the capital stock of Asia Sixth to Golden Globe. The A6 Promissory Note is due and payable upon the termination of the Caspian Purchase Agreement (defined below), with interest accruing at the rate of 10% per annum, compounded daily, in the event the A6 Promissory Note is not paid in full on or before such termination date.

F-15

In addition, the Company entered into the Caspian SPA between Caspian Energy, Caspian Energy Limited, Asia Sixth, Groenzee B.V., PEDCO, Giant Dragon Enterprises Limited, ACAP Limited, and RJC. Pursuant to the Caspian SPA, upon the closing of the transactions contemplated thereunder, (i) the Company will receive a 5.0% interest in Caspian Energy in exchange for the assignment of the A6 Promissory Note to Caspian Energy, (ii) all of Asia Sixth’s direct and indirect ownership in Aral will be exchanged for equity interests in Caspian Energy, with Aral becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Caspian Energy, (iii) approximately $25.4 million in debt owed by Asia Sixth as a result of the termination of the SSA and certain other agreements (including the debt now owed to the Company) will be converted into Caspian Energy capital stock, (iv) substantially all of Aral’s existing debt will be consolidated and held directly or indirectly by Caspian Energy as Aral’s new parent company, and (v) Sixth Energy and certain other shareholders of Caspian Energy shall provide a loan facility of up to an additional $21.5 million to Aral to fund its operations and development efforts.

Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated under the Termination Agreement and Caspian SPA, the Company will hold 5.0% of the outstanding common stock of Caspian Energy, which entity’s shares are publicly-traded on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company will hold these shares on an unrestricted basis (subject to any regulatory holding periods), and as a minority shareholder in Caspian Energy, the Company will not be subject to future capital calls or funding obligations, or any other obligations or requirements, that the Company might otherwise have been subject to as a major shareholder of Asia Sixth as previously contemplated under the original SSA.

NOTE 7 – NOTES RECEIVABLE

The Company loaned Condor funds for operations pursuant to a promissory note entered into on February 14, 2013, which permits multiple loans to be made up to $8,000,000 as separate “advances”. The note receivable bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the one (1) month LIBOR rate for U.S. dollar deposits plus four (4.0) percentage points. Principal and interest are due thirty-six (36) months from the date each advance is made under the note, with the first repayment being due on September 24, 2015. As of September 30, 2014, the balance of the note receivable prior to applying the excess loss from Condor is $6,979,002 plus accrued interest of $48,505 due from Condor. The Company advanced $2.1 million to Condor for operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The carrying balance of the note receivable was reduced by $463,075 as the Company’s share of losses from Condor for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $190,438 plus the previously unrecognized loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $272,637 was recorded. In accordance with ASC 323-10-35, the excess loss from Condor was used to reduce the notes receivable balance. If the losses were to exceed the notes receivable balance, no additional losses would be recorded for the equity investment. The net receivable balance after applying the excess loss is $1,370,856. After applying the losses to the equity investment and the note receivable, the Company has unrecorded excess losses of zero. The Company recognized $73,273 and $204,740 of interest income in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. The following table reflects the activity related to the note receivable-related party:

As a result of the Aral Restructuring, the $5 million deposit for business acquisition was classified as a long-term note receivable. See Note 6 for additional information.

The Company loaned White Hawk funds for operating expenses and drilling and completion costs for several Eagle Ford wells, pursuant to a promissory note entered into on June 4, 2012, which note permits multiple loans to be made thereunder as separate “advances”, with no stated maximum limit of loan principal. The note receivable bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the one (1) month LIBOR rate for U.S. dollar deposits plus four (4.0) percentage points. Principal and interest of each loan is due thirty-six (36) months from the date each advance is made under the note, with the first repayment being due on June 4, 2015. As a result of the previously discussed sale of this property in February 2014, the balance of the note receivable was paid in full.

NOTE 9 – NOTES PAYABLE

Note Purchase Agreement and Sale of Secured Promissory Notes

On March 7, 2014, the Company entered into a $50 million financing facility between the Company, BRe BCLIC Primary, BRe BCLIC Sub, BRe WNIC 2013 LTC Primary, BRe WNIC 2013 LTC Sub, and RJC, as investors (collectively, the “Investors”), and BAM Administrative Services LLC, as agent for the Investors (the “Agent”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase, the Company initially issued the Investors Secured Promissory Notes in the aggregate amount of $34.5 million (the “Initial Notes”) and provided for an additional $15.5 million available under the financing agreement to fund the Company’s future drilling costs.

The Initial Notes bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum, payable monthly in arrears, on the first business day of each month beginning April 1, 2014 (in connection with the Initial Notes), provided that upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Initial Notes bear interest at the lesser of 30% per annum and the maximum legal rate of interest allowable by law. We can prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of Initial Notes, without premium or penalty. The Initial Notes include customary events of default.

The Initial Notes are due and payable on March 6, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”), and may be repaid in full without premium or penalty at any time. Additionally, we are required on the third business day of each month, commencing on April 1, 2014, to prepay the Initial Notes in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Notes or (b) twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate of all net revenues actually received by us and our subsidiaries for the immediately preceding calendar month (or such pro rata portion of the first month the payment is required). The Initial Notes also provide that RJC is to be repaid (i) accrued interest, only after all of the other Investors are repaid any accrued interest due and (ii) principal, only after all of the other Investors are repaid the full amount of principal due under their Initial Notes, and (iii) that any funding in connection with Subsequent Notes will be made solely by RJC.

The amount outstanding under the Initial Notes is secured by a first priority security interest in all of our subsidiaries, assets, property, real property, intellectual property, securities and proceeds therefrom, granted in favor of the agent for the benefit of the Investors. Additionally, the Company granted a mortgage and security interest in all of our and our subsidiaries real property as located in the state of Colorado (including those assets acquired pursuant to the Continental Acquisition) and the state of Texas. Additionally, our obligations under the Initial Notes, Note Purchase Agreement and related agreements were guaranteed by our wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries.

F-18

As additional consideration for RJC providing the loan evidenced by its Initial Notes and agreeing to provide the funding from the Subsequent Notes, on March 7, 2014, the Company entered into the following transactions in favor of RJC and its affiliate Golden Globe.

	●		Red Hawk Purchase - A Purchase and Sale Agreement between PEDCO, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Red Hawk, and Golden Globe (the “Red Hawk Purchase”); which the Company conveyed 50% of the mineral interests and leases acquired in the Continental Acquisition to Golden Globe. The agreement also provided that for three years from March 7, 2014, Golden Globe does not have the right to propose or conduct any operations on the property acquired pursuant to the Red Hawk Purchase, unless (a) approved by Red Hawk, or (b) unless Red Hawk fails to execute the portion of the then current capital expenditure plan related to such applicable assets, provided that Golden Globe may not (i) propose to drill more wells on such lands during the calendar year covered by such capital expenditure plan than are prescribed in the portion of such applicable capital expenditure plan and (ii) propose or conduct any operations on such lands during the following calendar year in excess of the operations budgeted for in the portion of such applicable capital expenditure plan.
	●		Asia Sixth Purchase - The Asia Sixth Purchase Agreement between PEDCO and Golden Globe (the “Asia Sixth Purchase”); the principal terms of which required the conveyance of 50% of the Company’s 51% interest in Asia Sixth once acquired by PEDCO and if any part of the $10 million deposit previously paid by the Company in connection with the SSA is returned to the Company, 50% of any such returned funds will be paid to Golden Globe. On August 1, 2014, the Company terminated the SSA, with each of the Company and RJC, as Golden Globe’s designee, receiving a $5.0 million promissory note from Asia Sixth, thereby satisfying the Company’s obligation to return 50% of the returned deposit to Golden Globe. See Note 6.
	●		Membership Purchase and Plan of Merger - A Membership Interest Purchase Agreement between PEDCO and Golden Globe (the “Membership Purchase”), pursuant to which (i) PEDCO transferred 50% ownership of PEDCO MSL Merger Sub, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“MSL Merger Sub”), which was wholly-owned by PEDCO to Golden Globe, (ii) PEDCO’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Energy Development MSL, LLC (“PEDCO MSL”) merged with and into MSL Merger Sub, with MSL Merger Sub being the surviving entity in the merger, and (iii) MSL Merger Sub changed its name to Pacific Energy Development MSL, LLC. The effective result of the Membership Purchase and Plan of Merger was that Golden Globe now owns 50% of PEDCO MSL, which owns all of the interests in the Mississippian Asset.

As a result of the transactions effected by the Red Hawk Purchase, Asia Sixth Purchase, Membership Purchase and Plan of Merger, Golden Globe acquired ownership of 50% of all of the Company’s oil and gas assets and properties acquired in connection with the Continental Acquisition, rights to 50% of the Company's right to acquire Asia Sixth which owns the oil and gas assets and properties in Kazakhstan pursuant to the Shares Subscription Agreement (which has since been terminated), and effective ownership of 50% of the Mississippian Asset. In return, the Company received the financing agreement to acquire the Wattenberg Asset from Continental and provide for future drilling funds and obtain a strategic partner to fund its own portion of the drilling costs for the development of the Company’s properties.

In connection with the March 2014 financing, the Company allocated a portion of the proceeds from the financing to the promissory notes and a portion to the sales of (i) 50% of the Wattenberg Asset acquired from Continental, (ii) 50% of the Company's investment in Asia Sixth and (iii) 50% of the Mississippian Asset on a relative fair value basis. To the extent the proceeds of the financing exceed the portion allocated to the debt the Company recorded a debt discount. To the extent the sales price attributable to the assets was less than the net book value, the Company recorded a loss on sale of assets.

The components of this transaction are as follows:

	March 7, 2014
Gross proceeds from issuance of Initial Notes	$	34,500,000
Deferred financing costs – paid underwriting fees		(5,381,755	)
Original debt issue discount		(1,725,000	)
Net Proceeds	$	27,393,245

Allocation of proceeds to sale of assets (recorded as additional debt issue discount)
Allocation of proceeds to debt and sale of properties:
Allocated to Wattenberg Asset acquired from Continental sold	$	8,747,058
Allocated to Mississippian Assets sold		1,615,488
Allocated to Asia Sixth interest sold		3,055,374
Net proceeds allocated to sales of properties		13,417,920
Net proceeds allocated to Initial Notes		21,082,080
Total proceeds	$	34,500,000

F-19

Accordingly, total debt discount including the original issue discount and the amount allocated to the sale of assets was $15,142,920. In addition, additional deferred financing costs for the grant of warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock to a placement agent with a fair value of $1,519,601 was recorded.

In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company borrowed $1,967,360 for drilling activities under a Subsequent Note, excluding deferred financing costs of $276,342 and discount of $98,378. As of September 30, 2014, there was approximately $13.5 million available to draw down under Subsequent Notes from RJC.

All deferred financing costs and debt discount amounts are amortized using the effective interest rate method. The amount of the debt discount and deferred financing costs (net of amortization) reflected on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 was $13,134,864 and $6,206,286, respectively. Amortization of debt discount, amortization of deferred financing costs and interest expense, related to the Initial Notes and the first advance, was $967,604, $452,377 and $1,332,575 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Amortization of debt discount, amortization of deferred financing costs and interest expense, related to the Initial Notes and the first advance, was $2,106,424, $971,412 and $2,994,579 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there were $696,480 of payments made to reduce the outstanding Initial Notes.

Bridge Note Financing

On March 22, 2013, the Company closed a private placement of secured promissory notes (the “Bridge Notes”) for an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million, together with warrants exercisable for a total of up to 76,198 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $5.25 per share (the “Bridge Warrants,” and, together with the Bridge Notes, the “Bridge Securities”). At the closing of the bridge financing (the “Bridge Financing”), the Company entered into separate Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements with a total of 16 individual and institutional investors (collectively, the “Bridge Investors”), including ten (10) current Company shareholders, in which the Company sold and issued to the Bridge Investors a total of $4.0 million of Bridge Notes and Bridge Warrants to purchase 76,198 shares of the Company’s common stock (the "Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements") for gross proceeds of $4.0 million. The fair value of the warrants was $256,857 which was recorded as a debt discount.

F-20

Frank C. Ingriselli, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, and member of the Company’s Board of Directors, participated in the Bridge Financing, purchasing Bridge Notes of $1 million and receiving Bridge Warrants exercisable for 19,048 shares of the Company’s common stock, and Clark R. Moore, the Company’s Executive Vice President and General Counsel, purchased Bridge Notes of $50,000 and received Bridge Warrants exercisable for 953 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively.

Somerley Limited (“Somerley”) acted as the Company’s placement agent with respect to a portion of the Bridge Financing sold to non-U.S. investors. As compensation, Somerley received total cash fees of $40,000 and Bridge Warrants to purchase a total of up to 9,524 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.25 per share valued at $32,095 using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Company capitalized these amounts as deferred financing costs which will be amortized over the expected life of the Bridge Financing.

Terms of the Bridge Notes

The proceeds of the Bridge Financing were used by the Company for (i) the acquisition of the Mississippian Asset; (ii) up to $300,000 to acquire an exclusive option to acquire leases and 3D seismic data covering up to an additional 7,880 gross (7,043 net) Mississippian acres located in Harper, Kiowa, Barber and Comanche Counties, Kansas, and Woods County, Oklahoma; (iii) the payment of placement agent fees; and (iv) general working capital expenses.

The Bridge Notes originally had an annual interest rate of 10% and were due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is thirty (30) days following the closing of the Company’s then next underwritten public offering of the Company’s common stock, or (ii) December 31, 2013 (the “Original Maturity Date”). The Bridge Notes are secured by a lien and security interest in all of the Company’s assets, subject to a senior lien on the Company’s Niobrara assets held by MIEJ, an affiliate of MIE Holdings, which secures MIEJ’s loans to date under the Note with MIEJ described below.

Upon maturity, the Company was obligated to pay to the holders an additional payment-in-kind (“PIK”) cash amount equal to 10% of the original principal amount of the Bridge Notes, or $400,000. If an event of default on the Bridge Notes occurred, the principal amount of the Bridge Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest and the PIK, if any, would have been declared immediately due and payable, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Bridge Notes. These amounts were to be automatically due and payable upon written notice of holders of a majority of the then-outstanding principal amount in the case of certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events. The PIK liability was reflected as a debt discount to the principal and amortized over the life of the Bridge Notes, which was estimated upon their original issuance date to be December 2013.

The Bridge Warrants are exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of four (4) years commencing as of their issuance date, at an exercise price of $5.25 per share; provided, however, that the exercise price was to be adjusted to the price per share at which the Company issues common stock in the Company’s next underwritten public offering of common stock, if such price per share is lower than $5.25 per share and such offering occurred within six months of the grant date (provided that no underwritten offering occurred within six months of closing). The Bridge Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. The Company determined that these warrants contain provisions that protect holders from future issuances of the Company’s common stock at prices below such warrants’ respective exercise prices and these provisions could have resulted in modification of the warrants’ exercise price based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option. Such warrants were recognized as derivative warrant instruments at issuance and are measured at fair value at each reporting period. The Company determined the fair values of these warrants using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model in the period ended March 31, 2013. The Company subsequently determined, as a public offering was not closed prior to the six month expiration of any possible exercise price adjustment on September 22, 2013, that the exercise price of the warrants would not be reset and the derivative feature of the warrants has no value as of the period ending September 30, 2014.

Modification of Bridge Notes

On December 16, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment to the secured promissory notes (the “Amended Notes”) with each of the Bridge Investors of the Bridge Notes. The Amended Notes provided for (i) the extension of the maturity date of such Bridge Notes, which were originally due on December 31, 2013, to July 31, 2014 (the “New Maturity Date”), (ii) the subordination of the Bridge Notes to certain future qualified senior indebtedness of the Company with a principal amount of at least $5.0 million, (iii) the payment in full of all accrued interest through December 16, 2013, equal to an aggregate of $294,795 due and payable to the Bridge Investors on the Payment Date, (iv) the payment in full of the $400,000 PIK on the original principal amount of such Bridge Notes on the Payment Date (v) the repayment of either none or 50% of the outstanding principal amount due under such Bridge Notes, as elected by the holders on January 8, 2014 (the “Payment Date), of which principal repayment of $1,625,000 was due and payable to the Bridge Investors on the Payment Date as elected by the holders, (vi) the amendment of the interest rate of such Bridge Notes for the Amended Notes from 10% per annum to 12% per annum with respect to the remaining unpaid principal amount of the Bridge Notes (the “Deferred Principal”), and (vii) an additional payment-in-kind cash amount equal to 10% of the Deferred Principal due on the New Maturity Date (the “Additional PIK”). In total, eleven (11) Bridge Investors holding Bridge Notes with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $3,250,000 elected to defer 50% of their principal, agreeing to defer an aggregate of $1,625,000 in principal amount of the Bridge Notes, and five (5) Bridge Investors holding Bridge Notes with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $750,000 elected to defer 100% of their principal, for total deferred principal of $2,375,000, and an aggregate Additional PIK due upon the New Maturity Date of $237,500. The Company recorded the Additional PIK as a debt discount to the Amended Notes.

F-21

As additional consideration for the Amended Notes, the Company granted a new warrant (“New Warrant”) exercisable on a cashless basis at an exercise price of $2.34 per share for a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to (i) double (2x) the number of shares issuable under the Bridge Warrant originally issued to each holder who agreed to defer 50% of the outstanding principal of its Bridge Note, and (ii) triple (3x) the number of shares issuable under the Bridge Warrant originally issued to each holder who agreed to defer 100% of the outstanding principal of its Bridge Note, for a total of New Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 166,684 shares of Company common stock issued by the Company to the Bridge Investors. The New Warrants have a 4-year life and have substantially the same terms as the Bridge Warrants originally issued to the Bridge Investors (except for the anti-dilution rights). The New Warrants have a fair value of $181,475, calculated using the Black Scholes model.

Frank C. Ingriselli, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, and member of the Company’s Board of Directors, agreed to defer $500,000 of the original $1.0 million principal amount outstanding under his Bridge Note, and on the Payment Date, the Company paid $73,699 in accrued interest and $100,000 in PIK amounts due, and repaid 50% of his outstanding principal amount of $500,000. Mr. Ingriselli received a New Warrant exercisable for 38,096 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $41,064 on the grant date. Clark R. Moore, the Company’s Executive Vice President and General Counsel, agreed to defer $25,000 of the original $50,000 principal amount outstanding under his Bridge Note, and on the Payment Date, the Company paid $3,685 in accrued interest and $5,000 in PIK amounts due, and repaid 50% of his outstanding principal amount of $25,000. Mr. Moore received a New Warrant exercisable for 1,906 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $2,055 on the grant date.

The Company accounted for the amendment to the notes with the Bridge Investors as a modification of debt under ASC 405-20, and, accordingly, the unamortized debt discount related to the PIK of $12,544 and debt discount of $8,055 related to the Bridge Warrants prior to the amendment of the notes with the Bridge Investors was amortized over the new expected term of the Amended Notes, which at the time of the amendment was July 2014. In addition, the amounts related to the New Warrants and Additional PIK will also be amortized as interest expense over the new expected term of the Amended Notes.

On January 8, 2014, payment in full was made of all accrued interest through January 8, 2014 equal to an aggregate of $294,795. On that same date, the payment in full of the $400,000 PIK on the original principal amount of the Bridge Notes was made. Also on that same date, principal repayment of $1,625,000 was made to the Bridge Investors.

Second Amendment to Bridge Notes and Subordination and Intercreditor Agreements

On March 7, 2014, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Secured Promissory Notes (each, a “Second Amended Note,” and collectively, the “Second Amended Notes”) with all but one of the holders (each holder who agreed to such Second Amendment Notes, the “Amended Bridge Investors”). Subsequently, on August 20, 2014, the one remaining holder also entered into the Second Amended Notes, and became an “Amended Bridge Investor” (as discussed below).

The Second Amended Notes amended the Bridge Notes to allow the holders the right to convert up to 100% of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount (but in increments of not less than 25% of the principal amount of each Bridge Note outstanding as of the entry into the Second Amended Notes and only up to four (4) total conversions of not less than 25% each); the Additional PIK; and all accrued and unpaid interest under each Bridge Note (collectively, the “Conversion Amount”) into common stock of the Company, subject to no more than 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on the date the Second Amended Notes were entered into being issued in aggregate pursuant to such Second Amended Notes without shareholder approval for such transaction as required by the NYSE MKT rules. Upon a conversion, the applicable holder shall receive that number of shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the Conversion Amount by a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) as follows:

(A) prior to June 1, 2014, the Conversion Price shall be $2.15 per share; and

(B) following June 1, 2014, the denominator used in the calculation described above shall be the greater of (i) 80% of the average of the closing price per share of the Company’s publicly-traded common stock for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of the conversion notice provided by the holder; and (ii) $0.50 per share.

F-22

Additionally, each Amended Bridge Investor entered into a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement in favor of the Agent, subordinating and deferring the repayment of the Bridge Notes until full repayment of certain senior notes. The Subordination and Intercreditor Agreements also prohibit the Company from repaying the Bridge Notes until certain senior notes have been paid in full, except that we are allowed to repay the Bridge Notes from net proceeds received from the sale of common or preferred stock (i) in calendar year 2014 if such net proceeds received in such calendar year exceeds $35,000,000, (ii) in calendar year 2015 if such net proceeds received in such calendar year exceeds $50,000,000, and (iii) in calendar year 2016 if such net proceeds actually received in such calendar year exceeds $50,000,000.

Prior to the Bridge Note Investors’ entry into the Amended Notes, Mr. Ingriselli and Mr. Moore transferred their Bridge Notes to non-affiliates of the Company and as such, as of the date of the Second Amended Notes, such officers no longer held any Bridge Notes or rights thereunder.

The Company concluded that the Note Purchase Amendment described above constituted a debt extinguishment rather than a debt modification because a significant conversion feature was added to the terms of the note. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $763,310 in the first quarter of 2014. Accordingly, a debt premium was recorded for the increase in fair value over the carrying value of the notes payable, which is equal to $136,381 after amortization of debt premium as of September 30, 2014.

In connection with the Note Purchase Amendment, the convertible debenture was also analyzed for a beneficial conversion feature after the debt modification at which time it was concluded that a beneficial conversion feature existed. The Company extinguished the unamortized portion of the debt discounts associated with the warrants and PIK of $110,903 and $148,389, respectively. The Company recorded $211,570 as a debt discount related to the beneficial conversion feature. The debt discount will be amortized over the term of the Second Amended Notes.

In May and June 2014, six holders of Bridge Notes converted an aggregate of $1,371,089 (principal, accrued interest and payment-in-kind amounts) due under the Bridge Notes into an aggregate of 908,724 shares of common stock of the Company.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, four holders of Bridge Notes converted an aggregate of $727,257 (principal, accrued interest and payment-in-kind amounts) due under the Bridge Notes into an aggregate of 494,463 shares of common stock of the Company.

As of September 30, 2014, Bridge Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $575,000 remain outstanding, plus accrued interest of $54,255 and additional payment-in-kind of $57,500. The aggregate principal and accrued and unpaid interest and payment-in-kind amounts are available for conversion into common stock pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Notes.

(“PEDCO”) entered into a Secured Subordinated Promissory Note, as amended on March 25, 2013 and July 9, 2013 (the “Note”, the description of which Note below takes into account the amendments to such Note to date) with MIEJ, with an effective date of November 1, 2012. Under the Note, PEDCO may draw down multiple advances up to a maximum of $6.5 million under the Note, with repaid amounts not being permitted to be re-borrowed. Amounts borrowed under the Note were used by PEDCO to fund fees and expenses allocable to PEDCO with respect to its operations in the Niobrara Asset, Niobrara Asset-related acquisition expenses, and repayment of $432,433 due to Condor as a refund of the performance deposit paid by MIEJ to Condor with respect to the Mississippian Asset acquisition and applied toward the Company’s purchase price of the Mississippian Asset. When drawn, principal borrowed under the Note carries an interest rate of 10.0% per annum. Principal and accrued interest under the Note is due and payable within ten (10) business days of August 31, 2014. The Note may be prepaid in full by PEDCO without penalty, and is secured by all of PEDCO’s ownership and working interests in the FFT2H, Logan 2H, Waves 1H, State 16-7-60 1H and Wickstrom 18-2H wells located in the Niobrara Asset, and all corresponding leasehold rights pooled with respect to such wells, and PEDCO’s ownership and working interests in each future well drilled and completed in the Niobrara Asset. The Note converted amounts previously advanced by MIEJ to PEDCO in the amount of $2.17 million to fund operations in the Niobrara Asset through November 1, 2012, as well as an additional $2 million loaned by MIEJ to PEDCO under the Note on February 14, 2013 and $2 million loaned by MIEJ to PEDCO under the Note on March 25, 2013, for a total current principal amount outstanding under the Note of $6.17 million as of September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $330,000 is available for future borrowing by PEDCO under the Note. Further, the Company owes $1,047,264 in accrued interest at September 30, 2014 under the Note.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

Due to the Company’s net losses, there was no provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

The difference between the income tax expense of zero shown in the statement of operations and pre-tax book net loss times the federal statutory rate of 34% is principally due to the increase in the valuation allowance.

Deferred income tax assets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:

	As of			As of
	September 30,			December 31,
	2014			2013
Deferred Tax Assets (Liabilities)
Depletion	$	852,970		$	562,342
Net operating losses		5,636,659			4,131,374
Impairment – oil and natural gas properties		(1,122,953	)		(1,122,953	)
Other		918,552			(33,885	)
Total noncurrent deferred tax asset		6,285,228			3,536,878

Less: valuation allowance		(6,285,228	)		(3,536,878	)
Total deferred tax assets	$	-		$	-

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of deferred assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, management has applied a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2014. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was an increase of $232,101 and $2,748,350, respectively.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of September 30, 2014, the Company did not have any significant uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits. The Company did not have associated accrued interest or penalties, nor was any interest expense or penalties recognized during the period from February 9, 2011 (Inception) through September 30, 2014.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $18,526,290 for federal and state tax purposes, respectively. If not utilized, these losses will begin to expire beginning in 2031 for both federal and state purposes.

F-24

Utilization of NOL and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as amended, as well as similar state provisions. In general, an "ownership change" as defined by the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50% of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders or public groups.

Due to the impact of temporary and permanent differences between the book and tax calculations of net loss, the Company experiences an effective tax rate above the federal statutory rate of 34%.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Office Lease

In July 2012, the Company entered into a non-cancelable lease agreement with a term of two years ending in July 2014, which has been extended for an additional two years with the term now ending in July 2016, for its corporate office space located in Danville, California. The obligation under this lease as of September 30, 2014 is $93,830.

In March 2014, the Company entered into a non-cancelable lease agreement with a term of three years ending March 31, 2017 (the “Current Houston Lease”), for its operations office space located in Houston, Texas. The obligation under this lease as of September 30, 2014 is $31,020.

In September 2014, the Company entered into a non-cancelable lease agreement with a term of five years ending on or about February 28, 2020 (subject to modification pending delivery of the premises to the Company) (the “New Houston Lease”), which location shall serve as the Company’s expanded operations office space in Houston, Texas, following build-out and availability of the office space, which is anticipated to be completed in February 2015. The landlord under the Current Houston Lease is the same landlord under the New Houston Lease, and the landlord has agreed that upon delivery of this new office space to the Company, the Current Houston Lease shall be terminated and the Company shall be fully released from such prior lease. The obligation under this lease as of September 30, 2014 is $306,090.

Leasehold Drilling Commitments

The Company’s oil and gas leasehold acreage is subject to expiration of leases if the Company does not drill and hold such acreage by production. In the Wattenberg Asset, 105 net acres are due to expire in the three months remaining in 2014 (542 net acres did expire during the nine months ended September 30, 2014), 6,183 net acres expire in 2015, 2,348 net acres expire in 2016 and 221 net acres expire thereafter, (net to our direct ownership interest only). In the Niobrara Asset, 40 net acres are due to expire in 2014 (no net acres expired during the nine months ended September 30, 2014), 423 net acres expire in 2015, 454 net acres expire in 2016 and 589 net acres expire thereafter (net to our direct ownership interest only). The Company plans to hold significantly all of this acreage through an active program of drilling and completing producing wells. Where the Company is not able to drill and complete a well before lease expiration, the Company may seek to extend leases where able.

All of our net acres in the Mississippian asset will expire in 2014 if we do not drill and complete at least three (3) long horizontal wells in the asset by December 29, 2014 (160 net acres did expire during the nine months ended September 30, 2014). If our extension options expire and we have to renew such leases on new terms, we could incur significant cost increases, and we may not be able to renew such leases on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In addition, on certain portions of our acreage, third-party leases become immediately effective if our leases expire.

The Mississippian Asset is structured as a primary term assignment by the seller to PEDCO MSL of the leasehold interests which expires on December 29, 2014. If PEDCO MSL drills and completes at least three (3) horizontal wells on these leasehold interests during this primary term, then PEDCO MSL has the option, in its sole discretion, to extend the primary term with respect to some or all of the leases subject to the assignment for an additional one (1) year period upon payment to the seller of an additional $200 per net acre covered by the leases upon which the option is exercised. If PEDCO MSL completes a commercially producing well during the primary or extended terms, then the seller shall assign such leases to PEDCO MSL for as long as the wells produce in paying quantities, with each horizontal well of at least 4,000 feet in length holding 320 acres covered by the leases, each short horizontal well with a length of between less than 4,000 feet and at least 2,000 feet in length holding 160 acres, and each vertical well holding 10 acres. The seller shall retain an overriding royalty interest equal to the positive difference, if any, obtained by subtracting existing leasehold burdens from 22.5% before payout and 25% after payout (reduced to the extent the seller assigns less than a 100% working interest to PEDCO MSL). For purposes of the Mississippian agreement, “payout” is defined as such time, on a well by well basis, when a well has sold the following specified barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”), (utilizing a conversion factor for gas sales of 8 thousand cubic feet (Mcf) per 1 barrel of oil): for a vertical well, ten thousand (10,000) BOE; for a short horizontal well: twenty-five thousand (25,000) BOE; and for a horizontal well: fifty thousand (50,000) BOE.

F-25

The Company does not believe it will be able to drill and complete the three horizontal wells necessary to hold this acreage by December 29, 2014. However, the Company is in current discussions to extend the primary term of the term assignment and believes that an extension will be obtained, although there can be no assurances that an extension will be obtained on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If the Company successfully obtains the primary term assignment extension, the Company anticipates that the drilling of the three wells will commence in the first half of 2015. If, however, the Company is unsuccessful in obtaining an extension of the primary term assignment, and the Company’s term assignment expires with respect to the Mississippian Asset, the Company will likely be required to impair the Mississippian Asset in full in the amount of approximately $5.1 million, of which 50% will impact non-controlling interest.

Other Commitments

The Company is not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings. The foregoing is also true with respect to each officer, director and control shareholder as well as any entity owned by any officer, director and control shareholder, over the last ten years.

As part of its regular operations, the Company may become party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning its’ commercial operations, products, employees and other matters. Although the Company can give no assurance about the outcome of these or any other pending legal and administrative proceedings and the effect such outcomes may have on the Company, the Company believes that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Issuance of Warrants

On March 7, 2014, upon the closing of the Note Purchase Agreement as discussed in Note 4 above, the Company granted Casimir Capital LP warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share (the closing sales price of our common stock on the date immediately prior to the closing date of the Note Purchase Agreement), which warrants have cashless exercise rights and a term of five years (the “Casimir Warrants”).

Reissuance of Warrants

On June 30, 2014, the Company re-issued two warrants to MIE Jurassic Energy Corporation (“MIEJ”), the Company's joint venture partner in Condor , in order to extend their exercise terms through June 30, 2015 (the “Warrants”). The Warrants were originally issued on May 23, 2012 to MIEJ and expired unexercised pursuant to their terms on May 23, 2014. These two re-issued Warrants have the same terms and conditions as the originally issued warrants, including being exercisable on a cash-only basis for 166,667 shares of common stock of the Company at $3.75 per share and for 166,667 shares of common stock of the Company at $4.50 per share, subject to listing approval of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants by the NYSE MKT. The Warrants were re-issued in consideration of the Company’s continued relationship with, and financial support from, MIEJ, and simply extended the exercise term of the previously issued warrants. The fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes model is $84,353 and was recorded as stock compensation expense. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the warrants issued include: (1) a discount rate of 0.11%, (2) expected term of 1 year, (3) expected volatility of 83%, and (4) zero expected dividends.

The intrinsic value of outstanding as well as exercisable warrants at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $-0- and $125,335, respectively.

In connection with the drilling and completion of the initial well on the Niobrara Asset, and in light of the Company’s then-existing cash position, MIE Holdings loaned funds to Pacific Energy Development Corp., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“PEDCO”), equal to all of the Company’s proportional fees and expenses on that project, and has additionally loaned funds to PEDCO sufficient to fund the Company’s 20% portion of Condor expenses incurred in connection with the second and third wells drilled and completed by Condor on the Niobrara Asset in February 2013.

Note Payable – MIEJ. On July 9, 2013, the Company and MIEJ agreed to amend the Secured Subordinated Promissory Note (the “Original PEDCO-MIEJ Note”) previously entered into on March 25, 2013 by the Company’s wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, Pacific Energy Development Corp. (“PEDCO”) and MIEJ, to extend the maturity date from December 31, 2013 to August 31, 2014, and to remove the maturity trigger upon the closing of a debt or equity financing transaction with gross proceeds of $10 million to the Company. The Amended and Restated Secured Subordinated Promissory Note (the “Amended Note”), dated July 9, 2013, amends and restates the Original PEDCO-MIEJ Note. Under the Amended Note, PEDCO may draw down multiple advances up to a maximum of $6.5 million outstanding principal under the Note, with repaid amounts not being permitted to be re-borrowed. Amounts borrowed under the Amended Note may be used by PEDCO to fund fees and expenses allocable to PEDCO with respect to its operations in the Niobrara asset located in Weld and Morgan Counties, Colorado (the “Niobrara Asset”). When drawn, principal borrowed under the Amended Note carries an interest rate of 10.0% per annum. Principal and accrued interest under the Amended Note are due and payable within ten (10) business days of August 31, 2014 (previously the due date was December 31, 2013 or the closing of a debt or equity financing transaction with gross proceeds of $10 million to the Company). The Amended Note may be prepaid in full by the Company without penalty, and is secured by all of PEDCO’s ownership and working interest in the FFT2H, Waves 1H, and Logan 2H wells located in the Niobrara Asset, and all corresponding leasehold rights pooled with respect to such well, and PEDCO’s ownership and working interest in each future well drilled and completed in the Niobrara Asset. Amounts borrowed under the Note may only be used by PEDCO to fund fees and expenses allocable to PEDCO with respect to its operations in the Niobrara Asset, Niobrara Asset-related acquisition expenses, and repayment of $432,433 due to Condor as a refund of the performance deposit paid by MIEJ with respect to the terminated Mississippian Asset acquisition agreement by Condor and applied toward the Company’s purchase price of the Mississippian Asset. On March 7, 2014, the Company repaid this $432,433 due in full.

On October 8, 2014, MIEJ provided us the expected written notice stating that the Note was past due and payable. Pursuant to the subordination language in the Note, as amended, MIEJ agreed to subordinate the Note to indebtedness for money borrowed from any bank or other non-affiliated financial institution or investment group incurred by the Company in excess of $10 million, which subordinated the Note to the Initial Notes issued to the Investors on March 7, 2014 pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the notice from MIEJ and the Company’s confidence based on the subordination language in the Note that no payments are due or payable at this time, it is the Company’s desire that with approval of the Investors, the Company will be able to use a portion of the Company’s available cash flow from operations to make payments from time to time on the Note prior to the maturity of the Initial Notes in March 2017. See Note 9.

At the closing of the bridge financing (the “Bridge Financing”), the Company entered into Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements with a total of 16 individual and institutional investors (collectively, the “Bridge Investors”), including ten (10) current shareholders, pursuant to which the Company sold and issued to the Bridge Investors a total of $4.0 million aggregate principal amount of Bridge Notes and Bridge Warrants to purchase up to a total of 76,198 shares of the Company’s common stock (the "Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements"). Frank C. Ingriselli, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, and member of the Board of Directors, and Clark R. Moore, the Company’s Executive Vice President and General Counsel, each participated in the Bridge Financing, purchasing Bridge Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1 million and receiving Bridge Warrants exercisable for up to 19,048 shares of the Company’s common stock, and purchasing Bridge Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $50,000 and receiving Bridge Warrants exercisable for up to 953 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively.

Frank C. Ingriselli, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, and member of the Company’s Board of Directors, agreed to defer $500,000 of the original $1.0 million principal amount outstanding under his Bridge Note, and on the Payment Date, the Company paid $73,699 in accrued interest and $100,000 in PIK amounts due, and repaid 50% of his outstanding principal amount of $500,000. Mr. Ingriselli received a New Warrant exercisable for 38,096 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $41,477 on the grant date. Clark R.

Mr. Ingriselli and Mr. Moore transferred their Bridge Notes to non-affiliates of the Company prior to the further amendment of such Bridge Notes in March 2014, and as such, such officers no longer hold any Bridge Notes or related rights. See Note 9.

Accounts Payable – Condor. Accruals for drilling costs due to Condor as a working interest owner and revenue receivable due from Condor as a working interest owner represent capital expenditures, lease operating expenses and revenues allocable to the Company for its various working interests in the wells from 12.60% to 18.75% and its net revenue interest varies from 10.01% to 15.00%. At September 30, 2014, Condor owes the Company $473 from production sales related to the Company’s net revenue interest in the Niobrara Asset which is reflected in accounts receivable – oil and gas – related party in the accompanying balance sheet. At September 30, 2014, the Company owes Condor $7,392 from production related expenses and $1,853,424 related to capital expenditures incurred by Condor for the drilling of three wells on the Niobrara property which is reflected in accounts payable – related party in the accompanying balance sheet. Related to the February 22, 2013 Agreement for Purchase of Term Assignment (the “Purchase Agreement”) between PEDCO MSL and Berexco for the acquisition of the Mississippian Asset and approximately 10.5 square miles of related 3-D seismic data, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,207,117, the $864,866 initial deposit due from PEDCO MSL to Berexco were funds which were initially held in escrow by Berexco on Condor’s behalf in connection with a previously contemplated transaction between Condor and Berexco. In February 2013, MIEJ elected not to participate in the Mississippian Asset acquisition transaction through Condor, the seller and PEDCO MSL agreed to restructure the Mississippian Asset acquisition transaction to provide for PEDCO MSL to be the sole buyer and apply the performance deposit previously paid toward the purchase price due from us in the restructured transaction, and PEDCO MSL was obligated to refund to Condor the amount of $432,433 representing the 50% of the deposit paid by MIEJ to Condor, which amount was repaid on March 7, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the $432,433 is reflected in accounts payable - related party in the accompanying balance sheet.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company charged $167,265 and $502,514, respectively, in expenses related to a management services agreement with Condor. This management fee represents an amount agreed upon between MIEJ and the Company as being reflective of the approximate amount of time and resources the Company personnel dedicates to Condor-related matters on a monthly basis. Prior to November 1, 2012, the Company charged a monthly management fee of $28,250 to Condor. Condor paid a monthly management fee of $54,885 through 2013 based on the agreed upon 2013 budget, which was further revised during the period ended June 30, 2014 to $55,755 per month. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had accrued $111,510 in amounts due from Condor under the agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the significant factors that affected the Company’s financial position and results of operations during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. You should read this in conjunction with the discussion under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as amended, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.

Certain abbreviations and oil and gas industry terms used throughout this Report are described and defined in greater detail under “Glossary of Oil And Natural Gas Terms” on page 31 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2014, as amended.

Certain capitalized terms used below but not otherwise defined, are defined in, and shall be read along with the meanings given to such terms in, the notes to the unaudited financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, above.

General Overview

PEDEVCO Corp. (the “Company”, “PEDEVCO”, “we” and “us”) is an energy company engaged primarily in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas shale plays in the Denver-Julesberg Basin (“D-J Basin”) in Colorado, which contains hydrocarbon bearing deposits in several formations, including the Niobrara, Codell, Greenhorn, Shannon, J-Sand, and D-Sand. We currently hold approximately 16,511 net operated D-J Basin acres located in Weld and Morgan Counties, Colorado, comprised of approximately 2,379 net operated acres in the Wattenberg Extension area of the D-J Basin which we refer to in our unaudited financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, above, as our “Niobrara Asset,” and 14,132 net operated acres in the Wattenberg and Wattenberg Extension areas of the D-J Basin that we recently acquired from Continental Resources, Inc. (“Continental”) and which we refer to in our unaudited financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, above, as our “Wattenberg Asset,” which we collectively refer to as our “D-J Basin Asset.” Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC (“Red Hawk”), currently holds interests in 45 wells in our D-J Basin Asset, 11 of which are operated by Red Hawk and currently producing, with an additional 3 new operated wells recently drilled and awaiting completion and flow-back scheduled for mid-November 2014, 16 are non-operated, and Red Hawk has an after-payout interest in 15. We also operate 5 additional wells in our D-J Basin Asset through Condor Energy Technology, LLC (“Condor”), our partially-owned subsidiary.

In addition, we have approximately 6,686 gross (3,283 net acres) of oil and gas properties in the Mississippian Lime play located in Comanche, Harper, and Kiowa Counties, Kansas, which we own an indirect 49% working interest in and operate, which we refer to as our “Mississippian Asset.” We hold the Mississippian Asset pursuant to a term assignment which expires on December 29, 2014. If we drill at least three horizontal wells on these leasehold interests prior to this date, then we have the option, in our sole discretion, to extend the primary term with respect to some or all of the leases subject to the assignment for an additional one (1) year period upon payment of an additional $200 per net acre covered by the leases upon which the option is exercised. We do not believe we will be able to drill and complete the three horizontal wells necessary to hold this acreage by December 29, 2014. However, we are in current discussions to extend the primary term of the term assignment and believe that an extension will be obtained, although there can be no assurances that an extension will be obtained on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we successfully obtain the primary term assignment extension, we anticipate that the drilling of the three wells will commence in the first half of 2015. If, however, we are unsuccessful in obtaining an extension of the primary term assignment, and our term assignment expires with respect to the Mississippian Asset, we will likely be required to impair the Mississippian Asset in full.

We have also entered into agreements to acquire a 5% interest in a Canadian publicly-traded company which is in the process of acquiring a 100% working interest in production and exploration licenses covering an approximate 380,000 acre oil and gas producing asset located in the Pre-Caspian Basin in Kazakhstan, which we plan to close upon receipt of required approvals from the Kazakhstan government and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, which are planned to be satisfied on or before July 2015.

We have listed below the total production volumes and total revenue net to PEDEVCO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 attributable to our D-J Basin Asset, including the calculated production volumes and revenue numbers for PEDEVCO's D-J Basin Asset held indirectly through Condor that would be net to PEDEVCO’s interest if reported on a consolidated basis.

	Three months ending September 30, 2013		Three months ending September 30, 2014
Oil volume (BBL)		4,492		12,353
Gas volume (MCF)		5,135		27,790
Volume equivalent (BOE) (1)		5,348		16,984
Revenue (000’s)	$	463	$	1,187

	Nine months ending September 30, 2013		Nine months ending September 30, 2014
Oil volume (BBL)		12,536		46,882
Gas volume (MCF)		10,996		68,149
Volume equivalent (BOE) (1)		14,369		58,240
Revenue (000’s)	$	1,224	$	4,496

(1) Assumes 6 Mcf of natural gas is equivalent to 1 barrel of oil.

We are pleased with our most recent 9 month four-fold increase in year-over-year production (BOE). We are especially encouraged since we achieved this increase despite issues of inadequate access to sufficient produced water disposal resources. We believe that these interruptions, which impacted most operators in the D-J Basin this past quarter, are non-recurring. As we recently publicly announced, and as described below in “Recent Developments”, we negotiated preferential access to a recently completed salt water disposal (“SWD”) well that we believe will be capable of handling all of our produced water. This contract should allow us to produce oil at full capacity going forward, which we have demonstrated thus far in the 4th quarter. To illustrate this impact, during a 27 day period in August and September 2014 when a number of our wells were shut-in due to the D-J Basin’s water disposal bottle neck, we received net production of 975 BOE through our Red Hawk subsidiary. These wells were brought back to full production on September 20, 2014 and have been at full production since. In contrast, during the most recent 27 day period ending November 5, 2014, we received net production of 3,339 BOE through our Red Hawk subsidiary. Our team’s early anticipation of disposal needs - which led to the negotiation of this SWD agreement - has already had a significant positive impact which we believe will allow us to continue to operate at full capacity, while lowering costs. We will continue to use our team’s experience to improve our oil production while lowering and normalizing the operating costs of our newly acquired D-J Basin Asset.

Strategy

We believe that the D-J Basin shale play represents among the most promising unconventional oil and natural gas plays in the U.S. We plan to continue to seek additional acreage proximate to our currently held core acreage located in the Wattenberg and Wattenberg Extension areas of Weld County, Colorado. Our strategy is to be the operator, directly or through our subsidiaries and joint ventures, in the majority of our acreage so we can dictate the pace of development in order to execute our business plan. The majority of our capital expenditure budget for the next 12 calendar months will be focused on the acquisition, development and expansion of our D-J Basin Asset. Due to unexpected delays in obtaining necessary spacing, pooling and drilling permits, and securing required drilling, completion, and water sourcing and disposal vendors and resources, we have been delayed in executing upon our anticipated full development plan for 2014 by approximately 6 months. Accordingly, we plan to drill and complete, and participate in the drilling and completion of, approximately 15 additional total wells (equivalent to 5 net wells to us) in our D-J Basin Asset through mid-2015, including both operated and non-operated wells. We plan to utilize projected cash flow from operations, the approximately $13.5 million gross ($11.0 million net, after origination-related fees and expenses) available under our current debt (described in greater detail below under “Historical Liquidity and Capital Resources” – “Secured Debt Funding”), cash on hand, and proceeds from future potential debt and/or equity financings to fund our operations and business plan.

Recent Developments

Appointment of President

Effective October 8, 2014, the Company promoted its then-current Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, Mr. Michael Peterson, to the offices of President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in consideration of Mr. Peterson’s valuable leadership and operational role and continuing contributions to the Company. The Company’s then-current Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Frank Ingriselli, continues in his roles as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, focusing his efforts on strategic relationships, corporate strategy and building shareholder value.

Negotiated Preferential Access to New Salt Water Disposal Well

In late-October 2014, the Company received notice of the successful completion of a newly drilled salt water disposal well (“SWD”) in the D-J Basin to which the Company will have preferential access. Throughout the third quarter of 2014, increased development in the D-J Basin as well as operational problems with numerous SWD wells have caused most operators, including the Company, to have to shut in wells for periods of time due to the inability to dispose of the water that naturally comes with production. Anticipating the need for a secure and stable SWD relationship, the Company negotiated a long-term contract with a third party SWD firm which entitles the Company to dispose of its produced water on a preferential basis in a new SWD well to be completed by the firm in the fourth quarter of 2014. The Company has been advised by the firm that the SWD well has been successfully completed and that it will be capable of disposing of all of the Company’s produced water, which may be as much as 3,000 barrels per day commencing with the flowback and production from the Company’s three new Loomis wells expected to be completed in mid-November 2014.

Bridge Note Amendment and Conversions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, holders of eight of the Company’s Secured Promissory Notes, originally issued by the Company on March 22, 2013, as amended on December 16, 2013 and March 7, 2014 (the “Bridge Notes”), exercised their option to convert a portion or all of their Bridge Notes to common stock of the Company. The Company issued an aggregate of 1,403,187 shares of common stock of the Company to holders of Bridge Notes upon conversion of an aggregate of $2,196,786 in principal, accrued interest, and payment-in-kind outstanding under such Bridge Notes. The Bridge Notes were converted pursuant to the terms of that certain Second Amendment to Secured Promissory Notes, dated March 7, 2014 (the “Second Amendment”).

Following these Bridge Note Conversions, an aggregate principal amount of $555,159 of the original $4 million principal amount of the Bridge Notes remains issued and outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest and payment-in-kind, is convertible into common stock of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Notes.

Kazakhstan Acquisition Restructuring

On August 1, 2014, the Company entered into a series of agreements pursuant to which the Company restructured its planned acquisition of indirect interests in Aral Petroleum Capital Limited Liability Partnership (“Aral”), an entity established under the laws of Kazakhstan, which currently holds a 100% operated working interest in production and exploration licenses covering a contract area issued by the Republic of Kazakhstan that expires in 2034, which contract area covers 380,000 acres within the North Block located in the Pre-Caspian Basin in Kazakhstan. The restructuring was done in order to simplify and consolidate the capital structure and management of Aral and its disparate stakeholders, improve the debt position of Aral, provide Aral with additional financing to fund its operations going forward, and eliminate any and all funding obligations the Company may have had under the previously contemplated ownership structure (collectively, the “Aral Restructuring”).

As previously disclosed by the Company, on September 11, 2013, the Company entered into a Shares Subscription Agreement (the “SSA”) with Asia Sixth Energy Resources Limited (“Asia Sixth”), a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, which entity currently holds a 60% interest in Aral, and which holding was anticipated to increase to 66.5% following the completion of certain transactions previously planned to occur between Asia Sixth and its other partner in Aral, Caspian Energy Inc., an Ontario, Canada company listed on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange that currently holds a 40% interest in Aral (“Caspian Energy”). As previously contemplated under the SSA, the Company would acquire shares of Asia Sixth representing 51% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Asia Sixth (the “Asia Sixth Shares”), in exchange for the payment by the Company of $10 million to Asia Sixth (the “Deposit”), which was previously paid by the Company to Asia Sixth in 2013, plus a final subscription payment due at the closing equal to a maximum of up to an additional $20 million, depending upon the volume of oil produced by Aral at the time of closing (the “Final Subscription Price”), which volume thresholds were achieved in February 2014 prior to Aral’s production being voluntarily halted by Aral pending receipt of a required gas-flaring permit from the Government of Kazakhstan, or finalization of a gas off-take agreement for the sale of gas produced from the asset. Subsequent to the Company’s entry into the SSA, in connection with the Company’s closing of its acquisition of certain assets from Continental Resources, Inc. and entry into a debt facility with RJC and affiliates thereof, the Company assigned 50% of its right and interest to acquire the capital stock of Asia Sixth to Golden Globe and 50% of the Deposit in the event the transaction with Asia Sixth was terminated, with Golden Globe also assuming a 50% obligation to fund the Final Subscription Price to the extent due to Asia Sixth at closing.

In connection with the Aral Restructuring, on August 1, 2014 the Company entered into a Termination Agreement of the Shares Subscription Agreement dated September 11, 2013, between The Sixth Energy Limited (“Sixth Energy”), Asia Sixth and Pacific Energy Development Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Termination Agreement”), which Termination Agreement provides for the termination of the previous SSA as a precondition to the Aral Restructuring. Under the Termination Agreement, the Company received a promissory note in the principal amount of $5.0 million from Asia Sixth (the “A6 Promissory Note”), secured by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of Asia Sixth, which A6 Promissory Note represents the Company’s interest in the Deposit originally paid to Asia Sixth by the Company under the SSA following the assignment of 50% of the Company's right and interest to acquire the capital stock of Asia Sixth to Golden Globe. The A6 Promissory Note is due and payable upon the termination of the Caspian Purchase Agreement (defined below), with interest accruing at the rate of 10% per annum, compounded daily, in the event the A6 Promissory Note is not paid in full on or before such termination date.

In addition, the Company entered into a purchase agreement between Caspian Energy, Caspian Energy Limited, Asia Sixth, Groenzee B.V., Pacific Energy Development Corp., Giant Dragon Enterprises Limited, ACAP Limited, and RJC (the “Caspian Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Caspian Purchase Agreement, upon the closing of the transactions contemplated thereunder, (i) the Company will receive a 5.0% interest in Caspian Energy in exchange for the assignment of the A6 Promissory Note to Caspian Energy, (ii) all of Asia Sixth’s direct and indirect ownership in Aral shall be exchanged for equity interests in Caspian Energy, with Aral becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Caspian Energy, (iii) approximately $25.4 million in debt owed by Asia Sixth as a result of the termination of the SSA and certain other agreements (including the debt now owed to the Company) will be converted into Caspian Energy capital stock, (iv) substantially all of Aral’s existing debt will be consolidated and held directly or indirectly by Caspian Energy as Aral’s new parent company, and (v) Sixth Energy and certain other shareholders of Caspian Energy shall provide a loan facility of up to an additional $21.5 million to Aral to fund its operations and development efforts.

The closing of the transactions contemplated under the Caspian Purchase Agreement are anticipated to occur no later than July 2015, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions including the approval of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the Protection of Competition and the Ministry of Oil and Gas of the Republic of Kazakhstan (the “MOG”), the MOG’s waiver of its pre-emptive purchase right with respect to the transaction, and receipt of Caspian Energy shareholder approval of the transaction.

Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated under the Termination Agreement and Caspian Purchase Agreement, the Company will hold 5.0% of the common stock of Caspian Energy, which entity’s shares are publicly-traded on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company will hold these shares on an unrestricted basis (subject to any regulatory hold periods), and as a minority shareholder in Caspian Energy, the Company will not be subject to future capital calls or funding obligations, or any other obligations or requirements, that the Company might otherwise have been subject to as a major shareholder of Asia Sixth as previously contemplated under the original SSA.

North Sugar Valley Asset Divestiture

Effective September 1, 2014, we sold our remaining right, title and interest in our non-core North Sugar Valley asset in Matagorda County, Texas, to Sun Resources Texas Inc. for net cash proceeds of $50,250. The vertical wells on this asset have been uneconomic and shut-in for much of 2014, and we elected to divest this non-core asset rather than incur additional well remediation and work-over expenses where success of such operations was uncertain. Upon divestiture of this asset, we also received a reimbursement of $164,619 from the operator for certain pre-paid work-over expenses which were not used.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We believe there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as amended, except for the adoption of a derivative policy in conjunction with the derivative warrants issued with our Bridge Financing, with that policy being as follows. The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815-40”), which limits the extent to which the conversion or exercise price (the “strike price”) of a warrant can be adjusted for subsequent transactions. The Company utilizes a two-step process to determine whether an instrument is indexed to its stock: (a) evaluate the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions, if any and (b) evaluate the instrument’s settlement provisions. If it is determined the instrument is not indexed to the Company’s stock, the warrant is recognized as a derivative warrant at issuance and is measured at fair value at each reporting period and the change is recorded in earnings.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

All of the numbers presented below are rounded numbers and should be considered as approximate.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 with the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013

Oil and Gas Revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we generated a total of $1,090,000 in revenues, compared to $199,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase of $891,000 was primarily due to the increased revenue resulting from the purchase of the Wattenberg Asset as of March 7, 2014.

Lease Operating Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, lease operating expenses associated with the oil and gas properties were $104,000, compared to $123,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease of $19,000 was primarily due to the increased lease operating expenses from our North Sugar Valley asset in the prior period, mostly offset by lease operating expenses from the purchase of the Wattenberg Asset as of March 7, 2014.

Exploration Expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, exploration expense was $88,000 primarily related to the acquisition of seismic data for our recently acquired Wattenberg Asset and lease extension expense. We had no exploration expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $2,198,000, compared to $1,501,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase of $697,000 was primarily due to an increase in stock compensation expense as a result of the vesting of certain stock grants during the period (as explained further in the option footnote above). Our accounting and other professional fees increased due to the acquisition activity in the current period. We anticipate these expenses to be reduced in relation to total SG&A expenses going forward. The components of SG&A expense are summarized below (amounts in thousands):

The change in earnings of $173,000 is primarily due to the decreased production in our Condor investment in the current period.

Other Income (Expense). For the three months ended September 30, 2014, other expense was $3,018,000, compared to $439,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

The increase of $855,000 was primarily due to $396,000 of costs associated with the sale of inventory from the purchase of the Wattenberg Asset and the increased lease operating expenses resulting from the purchase of the Wattenberg Asset as of March 7, 2014.

Exploration Expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, exploration expense was $1,213,000 primarily related to the acquisition of seismic data for our recently acquired Wattenberg Asset and lease extension expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Outlook

We expect to incur substantial expenses and generate significant operating losses as we continue to explore for and develop our oil and natural gas prospects, and as we opportunistically invest in additional oil and natural gas properties, develop our discoveries which we determine to be commercially viable and incur expenses related to operating as a public company and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Our future financial condition and liquidity will be impacted by, among other factors, the success of our exploration and appraisal drilling program, the number of commercially viable oil and natural gas discoveries made and the quantities of oil and natural gas discovered, the speed with which we can bring such discoveries to production, and the actual cost of exploration, appraisal and development of our prospects. Assuming that we complete one or more public or private debt or equity financings to fund our planned 2014 and 2015 capital expenditures and repay our outstanding debt as it becomes due, we plan to make capital expenditures, excluding capitalized interest and general and administrative expense, of up to $30 million over the next twelve months in order to achieve our plans.

We expect our projected cash flow from operations combined with our existing cash on hand and the approximately $13.5 million gross ($11.0 million net, after origination-related fees and expenses) available under our current debt facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months. We anticipate meeting any shortfall in capital expenditures through one or more public or private debt or equity offerings. As of September 30, 2014, the debt due to the holders of secured subordinated promissory notes dated March 22, 2013, as amended, in the current principal amount of $575,000 maturing on July 31, 2014, and the repayment of debt due to MIEJ under a secured subordinated promissory note dated February 14, 2013, as amended on March 25, 2013 and July 9, 2013, in the principal amount of $6.17 million maturing on August 31, 2014, have been subordinated and are not eligible to be repaid until the maturity of our senior credit facility, described in greater detail below under “Amendment to PEDCO-MIEJ Note” and “Secured Debt Funding”, but may be paid if and when our senior creditor allows during the three year term of our senior credit facility. As described in “Amendment to PEDCO-MIEJ Note” below, MIEJ has requested repayment of its secured subordinated promissory note in full, and it is our desire that with approval of our senior credit facility creditors, we will be able to use a portion of our available cash flow from operations to make payments from time to time on the MIEJ Note prior to the maturity of the senior credit facility in March 2017. We may seek additional funding through asset sales, farm-out arrangements, lines of credit, or public or private debt or equity financings to fund additional 2014 and 2015 capital expenditures and/or repay or refinance a portion or all of our outstanding debt if allowed to do so by our senior creditor.

Our capital budget may be adjusted as business conditions warrant. The amount, timing and allocation of capital expenditures is largely discretionary and within our control. If oil and natural gas prices decline or costs increase significantly, we could defer a significant portion of our budgeted capital expenditures until later periods to prioritize capital projects that we believe have the highest expected returns and potential to generate near-term cash flows. We routinely monitor and adjust our capital expenditures in response to changes in prices, availability of financing, drilling and acquisition costs, industry conditions, timing of regulatory approvals, availability of rigs, success or lack of success in drilling activities, contractual obligations, internally generated cash flows and other factors both within and outside our control.

Historical Liquidity and Capital Resources

Amendment to PEDCO-MIEJ Note

On July 9, 2013, we and MIE Jurassic Energy Corporation (“MIEJ”) agreed to amend the Secured Subordinated Promissory Note, dated February 14, 2013 provided to MIEJ by our wholly-owned subsidiary PEDCO (the "MIEJ Note") to extend the maturity date from December 31, 2013 to August 31, 2014, and to remove the maturity trigger upon the closing of a debt or equity financing transaction with gross proceeds of $10 million to the Company. The Amended and Restated Secured Subordinated Promissory Note (the “Amended Note”), dated July 9, 2013, amends and restates the MIEJ Note. Under the Amended Note, PEDCO may draw down multiple advances up to a maximum of $6.5 million outstanding principal under the Note, with repaid amounts not being permitted to be re-borrowed. Amounts borrowed under the Amended Note may be used by PEDCO to fund fees and expenses allocable to PEDCO with respect to its operations in the Niobrara Asset. When drawn, principal borrowed under the Amended Note carries an interest rate of 10.0% per annum. Principal and accrued interest under the Amended Note are due and payable within ten (10) business days of August 31, 2014. The Amended Note may be prepaid in full by the Company without penalty, and is secured by all of PEDCO’s ownership and working interest in the FFT2H, Waves 1H, Logan 2H, State 16-7-60 1H and Wickstrom 18-2H wells located in the Niobrara Asset, and all corresponding leasehold rights pooled with respect to such well, and PEDCO’s ownership and working interest in each future well drilled and completed in the Niobrara Asset. The total principal amount outstanding under the note is $6.17 million as of September 30, 2014. There is currently approximately $330,000 available for future borrowing by PEDCO under the note. Further, the Company owes $891,745 in accrued interest at September 30, 2014 under the Note.

On October 8, 2014, MIEJ provided us the expected written notice stating that the MIEJ Note was past due and payable. Pursuant to the subordination language in the MIEJ Note, as amended, MIEJ agreed to subordinate the MIEJ Note to indebtedness for money borrowed from any bank or other non-affiliated financial institution or investment group incurred by us in excess of $10 million, which subordinated the MIEJ Note to our senior credit facility, described in greater detail below under “Secured Debt Funding”, Notwithstanding the notice from MIEJ and our confidence based on the subordination language in the MIEJ Note that no payments are due or payable at this time, it is our desire that with approval of our senior credit facility creditors, we will be able to use a portion of our available cash flow from operations to make payments from time to time on the MIEJ Note prior to the maturity of the senior credit facility in March 2017.

Amendments to Condor-MIEJ Note

On July 9, 2013, Condor, the Company’s 20% owned subsidiary, and MIEJ agreed to amend the Promissory Note (the “Original Condor-MIEJ Note”) previously entered into on February 14, 2013 by Condor and MIEJ, to increase the amount available for borrowing from $14 million to $25 million for the purposes of funding drilling and development of Condor’s assets. The Amended and Restated Promissory Note, executed July 9, 2013 by Condor and effective June 28, 2013 (the “Amended Condor-MIEJ Note”), amends and restates the Original Condor-MIEJ Note. Under the Amended Condor-MIEJ Note, Condor may draw down multiple advances up to a maximum of $25 million outstanding principal under the Amended Condor-MIEJ Note (previously $14 million), with repaid amounts not being permitted to be re-borrowed. When drawn, principal borrowed under the Amended Condor-MIEJ Note carries an interest rate per annum equal to the one (1) month LIBOR rate, plus four percent (4%). Principal and accrued interest due under the Amended Condor-MIEJ Note is due and payable on the date that is 36 months from the date each advance is made under the Amended Condor-MIEJ Note. The note may be prepaid in full by Condor without penalty. The total principal amount outstanding as of September 30, 2014 under the Amended Condor-MIEJ Note is $27.0 million. The Company is currently negotiating to increase the amount available under this facility.

Bridge Notes

On March 7, 2014, we entered into the Second Amendment to Secured Promissory Notes (each, an “Amended Note,” and collectively, the “Amended Notes”) with all but one of the investors holding our secured subordinated promissory notes, originally issued on March 22, 2013, referred to herein as the “bridge notes”.

The Amended Notes amended the bridge notes to allow the holders thereof the right to convert up to 100% of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount (but in increments of not less than 25% of the principal amount of each bridge note outstanding as of the entry into the Amended Notes and only up to four (4) total conversions of not less than 25% each); the additional payment-in-kind cash amount equal to 10% of the principal amount of each holder’s bridge note which was deferred pursuant to the First Amendment; and all accrued and unpaid interest under each bridge note (collectively, the “Conversion Amount”) into our common stock, subject to an additional listing application regarding such common stock being approved by the NYSE MKT. Upon a conversion, the applicable holder shall receive that number of shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the Conversion Amount by a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) as follows:

(A) prior to June 1, 2014, the Conversion Price shall be $2.15 per share; and

(B) following June 1, 2014, the denominator used in the calculation described above shall be the greater of (i) 80% of the average of the closing price per share of our publicly-traded common stock for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of the conversion notice provided by the holder; and (ii) $0.50 per share.

Additionally, each bridge investor who entered into the Second Amendment to Secured Promissory Note also entered into a Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement in favor of the Agent, subordinating and deferring the repayment of the bridge notes, and actions in connection with the security interests provided under the bridge notes, until full repayment of the Notes sold pursuant to the Note Purchase in March 2014, as described in greater detail below. The Subordination and Intercreditor Agreements also prohibit us from repaying the bridge notes until the Notes have been paid in full, except that we are allowed to repay the bridge notes from net proceeds received from the sale of common or preferred stock (i) in calendar year 2014 if such net proceeds received in such calendar year exceeds $35,000,000, (ii) in calendar year 2015 if such net proceeds received in such calendar year exceeds $50,000,000, and (iii) in calendar year 2016 if such net proceeds actually received in such calendar year exceeds $50,000,000.

Through the date hereof, holders of $1,819,841 of the Amended Notes exercised their option to convert a portion or all of their Amended Notes to common stock of the Company. We issued an aggregate of 1,452,595 shares of common stock of the Company to holders of the Amended Notes upon conversion of an aggregate of $2,138,347 in principal, accrued interest, and payment-in-kind outstanding under their Amended Notes (the “Note Conversions”), according to the terms of the Amended Notes. Following the Note Conversions, an aggregate principal amount of $555,159 of the original $4 million principal amount of the bridge notes remain issued and outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest and payment-in-kind, is convertible into common stock of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Amended Notes.

Eagle Ford Sale

On February 19, 2014, White Hawk entered into and closed a Purchase and Sales Agreement with Millennial PDP Fund IV, LP (“Millennial”), pursuant to which White Hawk sold its remaining interest in the Eagle Ford shale play to Millennial for $2,718,158 in cash (subject to adjustment as provided in the sale agreement). Pursuant to the sale agreement (which included customary indemnification requirements and representations and warranties of the parties), the sale had an effective date of November 1, 2013, and Millennial delivered to White Hawk the sale consideration on February 27, 2014.

Registered Public Offering

On March 7, 2014, we closed an underwritten public offering for an aggregate of 3,438,500 shares of common stock, which included the full exercise of an overallotment option by the underwriters, at a price of $2.15 per share to the public. The Company expects to use the net proceeds of approximately $6,581,000 from the offering to fund drilling operations, for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Secured Debt Funding

In connection with our acquisition of the Wattenberg Asset, on March 7, 2014, we entered into the transactions contemplated by a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase”), between the Company, BRe BCLIC Primary, BRe BCLIC Sub, BRe WNIC 2013 LTC Primary, BRe WNIC 2013 LTC Sub, and RJ Credit LLC (“RJC”), as investors (collectively, the “Investors”), and BAM Administrative Services LLC, as agent for the Investors (the “Agent”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase, we sold the Investors Secured Promissory Notes in the aggregate amount of $34.5 million (the “Initial Notes”).

We received $29,325,000 before expenses in connection with the sale of the Initial Notes after paying the Investors an original issue discount in connection with the sale of the Notes of $1,725,000 (5% of the balance of the Initial Notes); and an underwriting fee of $3,450,000 (10% of the balance of the Initial Notes). In connection with the Note Purchase, we also reimbursed approximately $189,850 of the legal fees and expenses of the Investors’ counsel, and paid the Casimir Note Closing Fee of $1,741,905, to Casimir Capital LP (“Casimir”), our investment banker in the transaction, as described and defined below, leaving a net of approximately $27,393,245 which was received by us on March 7, 2014.

From time to time, subject to the terms and conditions of the Note Purchase (including the requirement that we have deposited funds in an aggregate amount of any additional requested loan into a segregated bank account (the “Company Deposits”)), and prior to the Maturity Date (defined below), we have the right to request additional loans (to be evidenced by notes with substantially similar terms as the Initial Notes, the “Subsequent Notes”, and together with the Initial Notes, the “Notes”) from RJC, up to an additional $15.5 million in total or an aggregate of $50 million together with the Initial Notes. We are required to pay original issue discounts in the amount of 5% of the funds borrowed, underwriting fees in the amount of 10% of the amount of the funds borrowed, reimburse certain of the legal fees of RJC’s counsel, and pay applicable fees to Casimir representing 5% of any funds borrowed, in connection with funds borrowed under any Subsequent Notes. Funds borrowed under any Subsequent Notes are only eligible to be used by us, together with Company Deposits, for approved AFEs issued for a well or wells to be drilled and completed on any properties acquired in connection with the Continental Acquisition or owed by us in connection with the Mississippian Asset. The total aggregate amount of any Subsequent Notes cannot exceed $15.5 million and in the event we drill a dry hole, we are prohibited from using the proceeds from the sale of any Subsequent Notes, without the consent of RJC. Additionally, pursuant to the Note Purchase, no proceeds we receive from the transfer, sale, assignment or farm-out of the Mississippian Asset may be used to fund the Company Deposits.

In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company borrowed $1,967,360 for drilling activities. The Notes are due and payable on March 6, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”), and may be repaid in full without premium or penalty at any time.

As additional consideration for the Note Purchase transaction and for Golden Globe agreeing to purchase the Subsequent Notes, Golden Globe acquired ownership of 50% of all of our oil and gas assets and properties acquired in connection with the Continental Acquisition, rights to 50% of the oil and gas assets and properties which we have the right to acquire in Kazakhstan pursuant to the Shares Subscription Agreement, and effective ownership of 50% of the Mississippian Asset.

The Notes bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum, payable monthly in arrears, on the first business day of each month beginning April 1, 2014 (in connection with the Initial Notes), provided that upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Notes bear interest at the lesser of 30% per annum and the maximum legal rate of interest allowable by law. We can prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of Notes, without premium or penalty. The Notes include standard and customary events of default.

Additionally, we are required on the third business day of each month, commencing on April 1, 2014, to prepay the Notes in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the outstanding principal amount of the Notes or (b) twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate of all net revenues actually received by us and our subsidiaries (other than net revenues received by Asia Sixth, unless and to the extent received by us in the United States) or for the immediately preceding calendar month (or such pro rata portion of the first month the payment is required). The Notes also provide that RJC is to be repaid (i) accrued interest, only after all of the other Investors are repaid any accrued interest due and (ii) principal, only after all of the other Investors are repaid the full amount of principal due under their Notes, and (iii) that any funding in connection with Subsequent Notes will be made solely by RJC.

The net proceeds from the Initial Funding were used by us (along with funds raised through the February 2014 sale of assets which were formerly owned by White Hawk), to purchase assets located in Weld and Morgan Counties, Colorado, from Continental Resources, Inc. as part of the Continental Acquisition, which transaction closed on March 7, 2014, and (ii) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase and Continental Acquisition. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company borrowed $1,967,360 for drilling activities.

We had total current assets of $13.1 million as of September 30, 2014, including cash of $8.9 million, compared to total current assets of $7.0 million as of December 31, 2013, including a cash balance of $6.6 million.

We had total assets of $46.8 million as of September 30, 2014 compared to $25.8 million as of December 31, 2013. Included in total assets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, were $16.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of proved oil and gas properties subject to amortization and $7.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of unproved oil and gas properties not subject to amortization.

We had total liabilities of $41.3 million as of September 30, 2014, including current liabilities of $19.8 million, compared to total liabilities of $14.9 million as of December 31, 2013, including current liabilities of $14.8 million.

We had negative working capital of $6.7 million, total shareholders’ equity of $5.5 million and a total accumulated deficit of $53.1 million as of September 30, 2014, compared to negative working capital of $7.8 million, total shareholders’ equity of $10.9 million and a total accumulated deficit of $30.9 million as of December 31, 2013.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities. We had net cash provided by operating activities of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which was primarily due to the positive impact of the increases in field operating revenues from the acquisition of the Wattenberg Asset.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities. We had net cash used in investing activities of $18.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due primarily to $28.5 million of cash paid for the Continental property, $3.6 million of cash paid for drilling costs, partially offset by $16.2 million of proceeds from the sales of oil and gas properties, deposit and equity investments.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities. We had net cash provided from financing activities of $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to the issuance of $21.2 million in notes payable and $6.5 million related to a common stock offering, partially offset by $5.7 million paid for deferred financing costs and $2.3 million of debt repayments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During the period ended September 30, 2014, there were no accounting standards and interpretations issued which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, as appropriate, in order to allow timely decisions in connection with required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2014, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

As a result of being in the formative stage of our development, the Company has not fully implemented the necessary internal controls for the combined entities. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company's management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) were: (1) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and SEC disclosure requirements; and (2) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise as we develop the internal and financial resources of the Company. In addition, at that time, the Company will prepare and implement sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

Management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses: (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As an early stage company, we continue to develop our internal control systems. We continue to seek additional financial reporting and accounting experience and expertise. The Company has implemented certain internal controls with respect to: (1) its financial closing process to ensure that all transactions are properly identified, evaluated for accounting and disclosure treatment and recorded in the proper period; and (2) its controls over reporting between the Company and its related party operations (Condor). The Company is in the process of implementing standardized, written internal controls and procedures. These controls and procedures have not yet been fully developed or documented. The Company expects to complete the initial phase of its internal controls development over the next three months.

Except as otherwise discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Although we may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, we are not currently a party to any material legal proceeding. In addition, we are not aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings against us, or contemplated to be brought against us.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Commission on March 31, 2014, as amended, and investors are encouraged to review such risk factors in the Form 10-K, prior to making an investment in the Company.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On March 5, 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 40,000 shares of its restricted common stock, and granted options to purchase an aggregate of 80,000 shares of its restricted common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, to a new employee of the Company pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, which shares were registered pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on October 31, 2013. All shares and options vest over a forty-two month period, contingent upon the recipient’s continued service with the Company, and all shares are held in escrow only to be released to the recipient upon the date the shares vest.

On July 1, 2014, the Company granted an aggregate of 1,370,000 shares of its restricted common stock to certain employees of the Company pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan and in connection with the Company’s 2013 annual equity incentive compensation review process, which had been delayed and deferred by the Board of Directors from December 2013 due to certain pending public offerings and transactions at that time, of which a portion thereof were registered pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on October 31, 2013. All shares vest over a three year period, contingent upon the recipient’s continued service with the Company, and are held in escrow only to be released to the employee upon the date the shares vest.

On July 1, 2014, the Company granted options exercisable for an aggregate of 215,000 shares of its restricted common stock at an exercise price of $1.94 per share, to certain employees, and options exercisable for an aggregate of 52,500 shares of its restricted common stock at an exercise price of $1.94 per share, to certain consultants of the Company, all pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan and in connection with the Company’s 2013 annual equity incentive compensation review process, which had been delayed and deferred by the Board of Directors from December 2013 due to certain pending public offerings and transactions at that time. All options vest over a three year period, contingent upon the recipient’s continued service with the Company, and are not exercisable until such options vest.

During August, September and October 2014, holders of three (3) of the Company’s Secured Promissory Notes, originally issued by the Company on March 22, 2013, as amended on December 16, 2013 and March 7, 2014 (and August 20, 2014 with respect to one holder) (the “Bridge Notes”), exercised their option to convert a portion or all of their Bridge Notes into common stock of the Company. The Company issued an aggregate of 289,030 shares of common stock of the Company to holders of Bridge Notes upon conversion of an aggregate of $386,797 in principal, accrued interest, and payment-in-kind outstanding under such Bridge Notes (the “Note Conversions”). The Bridge Notes were converted pursuant to the terms of that certain Second Amendment to Secured Promissory Notes, dated March 7, 2014 (and August 20, 2014 with respect to one holder) (the “Second Amendment”).

On September 2, 2014, the Company issued 77,000 shares of common stock in full satisfaction of certain reimbursable fees and expenses due to a third party.

On October 8, 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 300,000 shares of its restricted common stock, and options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of its restricted common stock at an exercise price of $1.41 per share, to certain employees of the Company pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. All shares and options vest over a three year period, contingent upon the recipient’s continued service with the Company, and all shares are held in escrow only to be released to the employees upon the date the shares vest.

On November 4, 2014, the Company granted 14,000 fully-vested shares of its restricted common stock to a consultant of the Company pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan.

These issuances and grants described above which constituted “offers” and/or “sales” of securities, were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2), Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) since the foregoing issuances and grants did not involve a public offering, the recipients took the securities for investment and not resale, we took appropriate measures to restrict transfer, and each recipient was (a) an “accredited investor”; (b) had access to similar documentation and information as would be required in a Registration Statement under the Act; and/or (c) was a non-U.S. person. Additionally, the Note Conversions were exempt from registration pursuant to an exemption from registration afforded by Section 3(a)(9) of the Act as the shares of common stock issued in connection with such Note Conversion were exchanged by the Company with its existing security holders (the Bridge Note holders) exclusively where no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange. Notwithstanding the above disclosures, certain of the issuances and grants of securities described above did not constitute “offers” and/or “sales” of securities.

Use of Proceeds From Sale of Registered Securities

Our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-191869) in connection with the sale by us of up to $100 million in securities (common stock, preferred stock, warrants and units) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2013.

On February 28, 2014, we filed a preliminary Rule 424(b)(5) prospectus supplement and on March 4, 2014, we filed a final Rule 424(b)(5) prospectus supplement relating to the primary offering by us in a fully-underwritten offering of 2,990,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price per share of $2.15. The underwriters of the offering (Roth Capital Partners as Sole Book-Running Manager and National Securities Corporation as Co-Manager) were also provided an option to purchase an additional 448,500 shares from us, at the public offering price less the underwriting discount, within 30 days of the offering to cover over-allotments, if any, which overallotment option was exercised in full by the underwriters. The offering (including the sale of the underwriters’ overallotment shares) closed on March 7, 2014. The net proceeds to us from our sale of the common stock (including the shares sold in connection with the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment) were $6,581,000 (after deducting the underwriting discount and commissions and offering expenses payable by us). No further shares will be sold under the prospectus supplement.

No payments for our expenses were made in the offering described above directly or indirectly to (i) any of our directors, officers or their associates, (ii) any person(s) owning 10% or more of any class of our equity securities or (iii) any of our affiliates. We used the net proceeds from the offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b).

There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our offerings as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b).
