NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of PEDEVCO CORP. (“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, 2015, 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 “D-J 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 (“Red Hawk”).

The Company owned a 20% interest in Condor Energy Technology, LLC (“Condor”). Condor’s operations consisted primarily of working interests in oil and gas leases in the Niobrara shale formation located in the D-J Basin in Morgan and Weld Counties, Colorado. The remaining interest in Condor is owned by an affiliate of MIE Holdings Corporation (“MIE Holdings”, Hong Kong Stock Exchange code: 1555.HK). MIE Holdings is one of the largest independent upstream onshore oil companies in China. In addition, the Company made a direct investment into the drilling and completion of the first three wells that Condor drilled and completed.  In February, 2015, the Company divested its interest in Condor and the wells in which it had a direct working interest.  See Note 4.

The Company plans to focus on the development of shale oil and gas assets held by the Company in the U.S., including its oil and gas working interests in the Wattenberg and Wattenberg Extension in the D-J Basin (the “D-J Basin Asset”), which the Company acquired in March 2014 from Continental Resources, Inc. (“Continental” and the “Continental Acquisition”). Additionally, the recent acquisition of additional oil and gas working interests in February 2015 from Golden Globe Energy (US), LLC (“GGE”) (the “D-J Basin Acquisition”), the Company has significantly increased the working interests owned by the Company in the D-J Basin Asset. 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.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and those of its wholly and partially-owned subsidiaries as follows: (i) Eagle Domestic Drilling Operations LLC, a Texas limited liability company (which was voluntarily dissolved effective July 10, 2013); (ii) Blast AFJ, Inc., a Delaware corporation; (iii) Pacific Energy Development Corp., a Nevada corporation; (iv) Pacific Energy Technology Services, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (owned 70% by us); (v) Pacific Energy & Rare Earth Limited, a Hong Kong company; (vi) Blackhawk Energy Limited, a British Virgin Islands company; (vii) White Hawk Petroleum, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company,  (viii) Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, which was formed on January 16, 2014, and (ix) Pacific Energy Development MSL, LLC (“MSL”) (owned 50% by us) and is included in our consolidated results. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

F-5

Equity Method Accounting for Joint Ventures. A portion of the Company’s oil and gas interests were held all or in part by the following joint venture which ise collectively owned with affiliates of MIE Holdings:

 -    Condor Energy Technology LLC, a Nevada limited liability company owned 20% by the Company and 80% by an affiliate of MIE Holdings. The Company accounted for its 20% ownership in Condor using the equity method; and

The Company evaluated its relationship with Condor to determine if it qualified as a variable interest entity ("VIE"), as defined in ASC 810-10, and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, in which case consolidation would be required. The Company determined that Condor qualified as a VIE, but since the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Condor, the Company concluded that consolidation was not required during 2014 for Condor. In February 2015, the Company divested its interest in Condor.  See Note 4.

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 March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2015, approximately $1,757,000 of the Company’s cash balances were uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

Sales to one customer comprised 84% of the Company’s total oil and gas revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Sales to one customer comprised 55% of the Company’s total oil and gas revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014. 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 $373,000 related to receivables from joint interest owners.

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-6

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.

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.

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. The Company utilizes 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.

F-7

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.

Loss per Common Share. Basic loss per common share equals net loss divided by weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes 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 months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and therefore, basic and diluted loss per share for those periods are the same as all potential common equivalent shares would be anti-dilutive. The Company excluded 1,403,898 and 1,201,944 potentially issuable shares of common stock related to options, 6,594,129 and 2,986,704 potentially issuable shares of common stock related to warrants and 1,179,928 and 1,445,401 potentially issuable shares of common stock related to the conversion of Bridge Notes due to their anti-dilutive effect for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.   

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company follows 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. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 amends previous guidance to require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company expects that the affected amounts on its balance sheets will be reclassified within the balance sheets upon adoption of this ASU to conform to this standard. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its financial statements.

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

NOTE 5 – 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.  

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 the Company or its 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 also entered into an agreement with GGE to convey 50% of our interests in Asia Sixth in connection with the GGE financing.   In the event of any refund of the initial deposit by Asia Sixth, the Company must provide 50% of such refund to GGE or its designee.

In connection with the March 2014 financing, the Company allocated $3,055,000 of the proceeds from the debt financing to the 50% interest in Asia Sixth conveyed to GGE and recorded a loss on sale of $1,945,000.  

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 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.  

F-10

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 rights 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 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 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.

In connection with our D-J Basin Acquisition, on February 23, 2015, we provided GGE a one-year option to acquire our interest in the Caspian SPA for $100,000 payable upon exercise of the option recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets.  As a result, the carrying value of the note receivable at March 31, 2015 was $0. See Note 4.

NOTE 6 – NOTES RECEIVABLE

The Company loaned Condor funds for operations pursuant to a promissory note entered into on February 14, 2013, which permitted multiple loans to be made up to $8,000,000 as separate “advances”. As of December 31, 2014, the balance of the notes receivable prior to applying the excess loss from Condor was $6,979,000 plus accrued interest of $121,000 due from Condor.

In accordance with ASC 323-10-35, the losses from Condor that exceeded the equity investment of the Company 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 as of December 31, 2014, after applying the excess loss is $1,363,000.

NOTE 8 – NOTES PAYABLE

Note Purchase Agreement and Sale of Secured Promissory Notes

On March 7, 2014, the Company entered into a $50 million financing facility (the “Notes Purchase Agreement”) 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”).   The Company 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.  On March 19, 2015, BRe WNIC 2013 LTC Primary transferred a portion of its Initial Note to HEARTLAND Bank, with HEARTLAND Bank becoming an “Investor”.

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.

The Initial Notes are due and payable on March 7, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”), and may be repaid in full without premium or penalty at any time. Additionally, the Company is 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. See Note 15 for information related to recent agreements to defer certain principal and interest payments.

F-12

amount outstanding under the Initial Notes is secured by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s 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 its real property located in the state of Colorado and the state of Texas.  Additionally, the Company’s obligations under the Initial Notes, Note Purchase Agreement and related agreements were guaranteed by its wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries.

The Company did not borrow any proceeds under the Notes Purchase Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, there was approximately $13.5 million gross ($11.0 million net, after origination-related fees and expenses) 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 accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 was $16,639,000. Amortization of debt discount, amortization of deferred financing costs and interest expense, related to the Initial Notes and the first advance, was $1,018,000, $486,000 and $1,426,000 for the hree months ended March 31, 2015, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, there were $173,000 of payments made to reduce the outstanding Initial Notes.

Convertible Notes Payable – Bridge Notes

On March 7, 2014, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Secured Promissory Notes (each, a “Second Amended Note,” and collectively, the “Convertible Bridge Notes”) with all but one of the holders (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 Convertible Bridge Notes 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 payment-in kind(“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.  Upon a conversion, a holder shall receive the number of shares of common stock by dividing the Conversion Amount by a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) as follows

(A)	prior to June 1, 2014, the Conversion Price was $2.15 per share; and
(B)	following June 1, 2014, the denominator used in the calculation described above is 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.

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.

The unamortized debt premium on the Convertible Bridge Notes as of March 31, 2015, was $113,000.

In connection with the Second Amended Note, 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 issued and additional PIK under the Secured Promissory Notes of $111,000 and $148,000, respectively. The Company recorded $212,000 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 January 2015, one holder of Bridge Notes converted an aggregate of $83,000 (principal and accrued interest amounts) due under the Bridge Notes into an aggregate of 165,431 shares of common stock of the Company.  

As of March 31, 2015, Bridge Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $475,000 remain outstanding, plus accrued interest of $73,000 and additional PIK of $48,000. The aggregate principal and accrued and unpaid interest and PIK amounts are available for conversion into common stock pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Notes. The interest expense related to these notes for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $15,000 and $232,000, respectively.

F-13

The Subordinated Note Payable Assumed

The Company assumed approximately $8.35 million of subordinated note payable from GGE in the acquisition of the Acquired Assets, which amount is outstanding as of March 31, 2015.  The lender under the subordinated note payable is RJC, which is one of the lenders under the Secured Promissory Notes and is an affiliate of GGE.  The note is due and payable on December 31, 2017, and bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum (24% upon an event of default).  The accrued interest is payable on a monthly basis in cash.  The assumed note payable is subordinate and subject to the terms and conditions of the Secured Promissory Notes, as well as any future secured indebtedness from a lender with an aggregate principal amount of at least $20,000,000.  Should the Company repay the Secured Promissory Notes or replace them with a secured indebtedness from a lender with an aggregate principal amount of at least $20,000,000, RJC agreed to further amend the subordinated note payable to adjust the frequency of interest payments or to eliminate the payments and replace them with a single payment of the accrued interest to be paid at maturity.

The subordinated note payable contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and requirements for the Company to indemnify RJC and its affiliates, related parties and assigns. The note payable also includes various covenants (positive and negative) binding the Company, including requiring that the Company provide RJC with quarterly (unaudited) and annual (audited) financial statements, restricting our creation of liens and encumbrances, or sell or otherwise disposing, the collateral under the note.

The New MIEJ Note has an interest rate of 10.0%, with no interest due until maturity, is secured by all of the Company’s assets, and is subordinated to the Secured Promissory Notes.  MIEJ also agreed to subordinate its note up to an additional $60 million of new senior lending, with any portion of new senior lending in excess of this amount requiring to be paid first to MIEJ until the New MIEJ Note is paid in full.  Further, for every $20 million in new senior lending the Company raises, MIEJ shall be paid all interest and fees accrued to date on the New MIEJ Note.  The New MIEJ Note is due and payable on March 8, 2017, subject to automatic extensions upon the occurrence of a Long Term Financing or PEDEVCO Senior Lending Restructuring (each as defined below).

On a onetime basis, the Secured Promissory Notes may be refinanced by a new loan (“Long-Term Financing”) by one or more third party replacement lenders (“Replacement Lenders”), and in such event the Company shall undertake commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Replacement Lenders to simultaneously refinance both the Secured Promissory Notes and the New MIEJ Note as part of such Long-Term Financing. If the Replacement Lenders are unable or unwilling to include the New MIEJ Note in such financing, then the Long-Term Financing may proceed without including the New MIEJ Note, and the New MIEJ Note shall remain in place and shall be automatically subordinated, without further consent of MIEJ, to such Long-Term Financing. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of a Long-Term Financing, the maturity of the New MIEJ Note is automatically extended to the same maturity date of the Long-Term Financing, but to no later than March 8, 2020.  Additionally, in connection with the Long-Term Financing:

●   The Long-Term Financing must not exceed $95 million;

●   The Company must make commercially reasonable best efforts to include adequate reserves or other payment provisions whereby MIEJ is paid all interest and fees accrued on the New MIEJ Note commencing as of March 8, 2017 and annually thereafter, and to allow for quarterly interest payments starting March 31, 2017 of not less than 5% per annum on the outstanding balance of the New MIEJ Note, plus a one-time payment of accrued interest (not to exceed $500,000) as of March 31, 2017; and

●   Commencing on March 8, 2017, MIEJ shall have the right to convert the balance of the New MIEJ Note into the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 80% of the average closing price per share of our stock over the then previous 60 days, subject to a minimum conversion price of $0.30 per share.  MIEJ shall not be permitted to convert if the conversion would result in MIEJ holding more than 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock without approval from the Company’s shareholders, which the Company has agreed to seek at its 2016 annual shareholder meeting or, if not approved then, at its 2017 annual shareholder meeting.

F-14

In the event the Secured Promissory Notes are not refinanced, restructured or extended by the existing Investors, the maturity of both the New MIEJ Note and the Secured Promissory Notes may be extended to no later than March 8, 2019, without requiring the consent of MIEJ.  However, (i) any such maturity extension of the New MIEJ Note will give MIEJ the right to convert the note into our common stock as described above, commencing on March 8, 2017, and (ii) such extension agreement must provide that MIEJ is paid all interest and fees accrued on the New MIEJ Note as of March 8, 2018.  The New MIEJ Note may be prepaid any time without penalty, and if we repay the New MIEJ Note on or before December 31, 2015, 20% of the principal of the New MIEJ Note amount will be forgiven by MIEJ, and if we repay the New MIEJ Note on or before December 31, 2016, 15% of the principal of the New MIEJ Note amount will be forgiven by MIEJ.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

Due to the Company’s net losses, there was no provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

	As of			As of
	March 31,			December 31,
	2015			2014
Deferred Tax Assets (Liabilities)
Difference in depreciation, depletion, and capitalization methods – oil and natural gas properties	$	2,278		$	1,385
Net operating losses		4,131			4,131
Impairment – oil and natural gas properties		(1,122	)		(1,122	)
Other		535			623
Total deferred tax asset		5,822			5,017
Less: valuation allowance		(5,822	)		(5,017	)
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 March 31, 2015. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was an increase of $805,000.

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 March 31, 2015, 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 March 31, 2015.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $48,969,000 and $49,922,000 (subject to limitations) for federal and state tax purposes, respectively. If not utilized, these losses will begin to expire beginning in 2032 and 2023, respectively, for both federal and state purposes.

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 10 – 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 for the remainder of 2015 and 2016 is $38,000 and $30,000, respectively.

In September 2014, the Company entered into a non-cancelable lease agreement with a term of five years ending on March 1, 2020, which location serves as the Company’s operations office space in Houston, Texas.  The obligation under this lease for the remainder of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 is $46,000, $61,000, $61,000, $61,000 and $61,000, respectively.

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 D-J Basin Asset, 10,925 net acres are due to expire during the nine months remaining in 2015 (321 net acres did expire during the three months ended March 31, 2015), 4,683 net acres expire in 2016, 612 net acres expire in 2017 and 1,118 net acres expire thereafter. Where the Company is not able to drill and complete a well before lease expiration, the Company may seek to extend leases where able. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has fully impaired its unproved leasehold costs based on management's revised re-leasing program.

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.

NOTE 11 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

PREFERRED STOCK

At March 31, 2015, the Company was authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of its Series A preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued shares of Series A preferred stock as follows:

On February 23, 2015, the Company issued 66,625 Series A Preferred to GGE as part of the consideration paid for the Acquired Assets. The fair value of the Series A preferred stock was $28,402,000 based on a calculation using the binomial lattice model. See note 14.

The 66,625 shares of Series A Preferred issued to GGE are redeemable and contingently convertible in 4 tranches as follows:  (i) 15,000 shares in Tranche One; (ii) 15,000 shares in Tranche Two; (iii) 11,625 shares in Tranche Three; and (iv) 25,000 shares in Tranche Four.

In addition, the 66,625 shares of Series A Preferred stock issued to GGE currently have the following features:

●   a liquidation preference senior to all of the Company’s common stock equal to $400 per share;

●   a dividend, payable annually, of 10% of the liquidation preference;

●   voting rights on all matters, with each share having 1 vote; and

●   a conversion feature at GGE’s option, which must be approved by a majority of the shareholders’ of the Company which will allow the Series A Preferred stock to be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock on a 1,000:1 basis.

Additionally, if the Company receives shareholders’ approval for the conversion feature the Series A Preferred features are also modified as follows:

●   the Series A Preferred shall automatically cease accruing dividends and all accrued and unpaid dividends will be automatically forfeited and forgiven;

●   the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred will be reduced to $0.001 per share from $400 per share.

F-16

The contingent conversion feature also provides that GGE will be subject to a lock-up that prohibits it from selling the shares of common stock through the public markets for less than $1 per share (on an as-converted to common stock basis) until February 23, 2016, and in no event may GGE beneficially own more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock or voting stock.

The Series A Preferred is redeemable at the option of the Company or anyone that the Company assigns the right to redeem the Series A Preferred to (the “Assigns), if the Company repays the Secured Promissory Notes by November 23, 2015.

The Series A Preferred is redeemable as follows:

●   until November 23, 2015, the Company may redeem any or all of the Tranche One shares at a repurchase price of $500 per share;

●   from November 24, 2015 until February 23, 2017, the Company  may redeem any or all of the Tranche One shares and Tranche Two shares at a repurchase price of $650 per share; and

●   from February 24, 2017 until February 23, 2018, the Company  may redeem any or all remaining outstanding shares of Series A Preferred at a repurchase price of $800 per share

In addition, if the Company repays the Secured Promissory Notes and redeems all of the Tranche One shares by November 23, 2015 the above redemption options are modified as follows:

●   the Tranche Four shares are automatically redeemed for $0 per share, and

●   GGE may request (but not require) that the Company redeem

°   the Tranche Two shares at a redemption price of $650 per share for a period of 30 days following February 23, 2017, and

°   the Tranche Two Shares and 11,625 shares of the Tranche Three shares at a redemption price of $800 per share for a period of 30 days following February 23, 2018.

In the event the Company or its Assigns do not redeem all the Series A Preferred shares, GGE has no recourse against the Company.  However, if the Company or its Assigns do not redeem all the Series A Preferred shares, and the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the 30 day period immediately preceding February 23, 2018 is below $0.80 per share, then the Company is required to issue to GGE up to an additional 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred, pro-rated based on the actual number of shares of Preferred Series A not redeemed and repurchased by the Company.

As of March 31, 2015, there were 66,625 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock outstanding.

COMMON STOCK

At March 31, 2015, the Company was authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of its common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.

NOTE 13 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In connection with the drilling and completion of the initial well on the Company’s legacy asset in the Niobrara formation of the D-J Basin (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. See Note 9 – Related Party Financings

F-19

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 December 31, 2014, Condor owed the Company $21,000 from production sales related to the Company’s net revenue interest in the D-J Basin Asset which is reflected in accounts receivable – oil and gas – related party in the accompanying balance sheet. At December 31, 2014, the Company owed Condor $30,000 from production related expenses and $1,853,000 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. As discussed in Note 4, in February 2015, the Company and PEDCO entered into the MIEJ Settlement Agreement with MIEJ. As part of the MIEJ Settlement Agreement, all amounts owed to or from Condor were restructured. As of March 31, 2015, there was $120,000 of accrued interest related to the New MIEJ Note.

In addition, as part of the MIEJ Settlement Agreement PEDCO agreed to provide assistance in the orderly transfer of the operational management, finance and accounting matters involving Condor to MIEJ, and upon the request of MIEJ, PEDCO agreed for a period of up to six (6) months (terminable upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice from MIEJ to PEDCO), PEDCO shall continue to assist with Condor’s accounting and audits and perform joint interest billing accounting on behalf of Condor for a monthly fee of $55,000 for January 2015, $0 for February 2015, $10,000 for March 2015 and $30,000 per month thereafter, pro-rated for partial months.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company charged $56,000 and $168,000, respectively, in expenses related to a management services agreement with Condor and charged $10,000 and $-0-, respectively, in expenses related to a management services agreement with MIEJ. 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. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had accrued $56,000 in amounts due from Condor under the agreement.

NOTE 14 – FAIR VALUE

As defined in our accounting policy on the fair value of financial instruments, financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial instruments that were accounted for at fair value as of March 31, 2015 (in thousands):

	Fair Value Measurements At March 31, 2015
	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs		Total Carrying Value
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock	$	-	$	-	$	28,402	$	28,402

The Company believes there is no active market or significant other market data for the Series A Preferred stock as it is held by a limited number of closely held entities, therefore the Company has determined it should use Level 3 inputs.

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was valued using the binomial lattice model of which the significant assumptions were expected term and expected volatility. The binomial lattice model used a probablistic approach in which the Company assigned percentages to each scenario based on the chance of repayment. The percentages used were as follows: the non-repayment scenario was assigned a 25% probability and the repayment scenario was assigned a 75% probability.

NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Secured Promissory Notes Payment Deferral

On April 24, 2015 certain of the Company’s Investors agreed to allow the Company to defer the mandatory principal repayments and interest payments due for the months of May and June 2015, with such deferred amounts to be used to renew, extend, re-lease or otherwise acquire leases which will then become additional collateral under the Secured Promissory Notes.  If the Company does not repay the deferred amounts by July 31, 2015, the deferred amounts will be added to the principal due under the Secured Promissory Notes, recorded as additional interest expense on the notes, and the amounts will not be due until maturity. 

F-20

As consideration for this deferral, the Company has agreed to issue to each Investor participating in the deferral, a warrant exercisable for the Company’s common stock.  Each warrant has a 3 year term and is exercisable on a cashless basis at an exercise price of $1.50 per share of common stock equal to the aggregate amount deferred by such Investor, divided by $1.50. The Company currently estimates that the aggregate principal and interest that may be deferred will be approximately $570,000, which would result in the issuance of warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 380,000 shares of our common stock. 

Stock Issuance

On May 13, 2015, the Company closed an underwritten offering for an aggregate of 5,600,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share. Upon settlement of the offering scheduled for May 18, 2015, the Company expects to receive gross proceeds of $2.8 million before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses as a result of the offering. The Company expects to use the net proceeds of approximately $2.35 million from the May 2015 Offering to extend and acquire additional leasehold rights in our D-J Basin Asset, fund working capital, and for general corporate purposes. While the offering has been priced to date, the offering has not closed as of the date of this filing, and the closing of the offering is subject to customary closing conditions, which the Company anticipates satisfying on or around May 18, 2015. The underwriters have also been granted a 45-day option to purchase up to 840,000 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any.

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.  As of March 31, 2015, we held approximately 26,394 net D-J Basin acres located in the Wattenberg and Wattenberg Extension areas of the D-J Basin in Weld and Morgan Counties, Colorado (our “D-J Basin Asset”).  As of March 31, 2015, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC (“Red Hawk”), we hold approximately 26,990 net operated acres in our D-J Basin Asset, and we hold interests in 53 gross (15.6 net) wells in our D-J Basin Asset, of which 14 gross (12.5 net) wells are operated by Red Hawk and are currently producing, 17 gross (3.1 net) wells are non-operated, and 22 wells have an after-payout interest.

In February 2015, the Company, Dome Energy AB (“Dome AB”), and Dome Energy, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dome AB (“Dome US,” and together with DOME AB, “Dome Energy”), entered into a Heads of Agreement which contemplates the acquisition by the Company of 100% of the capital stock of Dome US in exchange for approximately 140 million shares of our common stock (representing approximately 64% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares of capital stock on an as-converted basis (assuming the conversion of certain of our Series A Preferred into common stock, as described in greater detail below)), which will constitute a change of control of the Company. Dome US produces approximately 1,250 BOEPD from a core operated portfolio of conventional oil and gas assets located in Texas and Wyoming, and from additional non-core producing assets located in Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Oklahoma. See greater details regarding this transaction below in “Recent Developments – Heads of Agreement with Dome Energy”.

We have listed below the total production volumes and total revenue net to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 attributable to our D-J Basin Asset, including the calculated production volumes and revenue numbers for our D-J Basin Asset held indirectly through Condor that would be net to our interest if reported on a consolidated basis and production realized from our recent D-J Basin Acquisition beginning February 23, 2015 (described in greater detail below in “Recent Developments – D-J Basin Asset Acquisition”).

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2015		Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
Oil volume (BBL)		37,617		11,263
Gas volume (MCF)		68,158		10,449
Volume equivalent (BOE) (1)		48,976		13,005
Revenue (000’s)	$	1,518	$	999

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

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.  We plan to drill and complete, and participate in the drilling and completion of, approximately 14 additional total wells (equivalent to 3.5 net wells to us) in our D-J Basin Asset through 2015 for total capital expenditures of approximately $24 million, including both operated and non-operated wells, 4 of which will be long lateral 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 senior debt facility, our cash on hand, and proceeds from future potential debt and/or equity financings to fund our operations and business plan. The Company is currently working with Dome Energy to prepare a projected drilling and completion schedule and budget assuming the Company's acquisition of Dome US is consummated, which new 2015 program we anticipate will provide for the drilling of approximately 9 gross (3.5 net) long lateral wells at an estimated capital cost to the Company of approximately $25.8 million, and 24 gross (9 net) short lateral wells at an estimated capital cost to the Company of approximately $28.0 million, increasing our 2015 capital expenditure program with respect to drilling and completions to approximately $53.8 million, and to approximately $55.5 million total including lease renewals.

Recent Developments

D-J Basin Asset Acquisition

On February 23, 2015 (the “Closing”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC (“Red Hawk”), completed the acquisition of approximately 12,977 net acres of oil and gas properties and interests in 53 gross wells located in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, Colorado (the “Acquired Assets”) from Golden Globe Energy (US), LLC (“GGE”).

As consideration for the acquisition of the Acquired Assets, the Company (i) issued to GGE 3,375,000 restricted shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value per share common stock and 66,625 restricted shares of the Company’s newly-designated Amended and Restated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”), (ii) assumed approximately $8.35 million of subordinated debt from GGE pursuant to an Assumption and Consent Agreement and an Amendment to Note and Security Agreement, and (iii) provided GGE with a one-year option to acquire the Company’s interest in its Kazakhstan opportunity for $100,000 payable upon exercise of the option pursuant to a Call Option Agreement. The effective date of the transaction was January 1, 2015, with the exception of all revenues and refunds attributable to GGE’s approximate 49.7% interest in each of the Loomis 2-1H, Loomis 2-3H and Loomis 2-6H wells, which revenues and refunds the Company owns from the date of first production, which are estimated through January 2015 to total approximately $700,000.

The Series A Preferred Issued

The 66,625 shares of Series A Preferred stock issued to GGE were issued in 4 tranches as follows:  (i) 15,000 shares in Tranche One; (ii) 15,000 shares in Tranche Two; (iii) 11,625 shares in Tranche Three; and (iv) 25,000 shares in Tranche Four.

In addition, the 66,625 shares of Series A Preferred stock issued to GGE currently have the following features:

●   a liquidation preference senior to all of the Company’s common stock equal to $400 per share;

●   a dividend, payable annually, of 10% of the liquidation preference;

●   voting rights on all matters, with each share having 1 vote; and

●   a conversion feature at GGE’s option, which must be approved by a majority of the shareholders’ of the Company which will allow the Series A Preferred stock to be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock on a 1,000:1 basis.

Additionally, if the Company receives shareholders’ approval for the conversion feature the Series A Preferred features are also modified as follows:

●   the Series A Preferred shall automatically cease accruing dividends and all accrued and unpaid dividends will be automatically forfeited and forgiven;

●   the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred will be reduced to $0.001 per share from $400 per share.

The conversion feature also provides that GGE will be subject to a lock-up that prohibits it from selling the shares of common stock through the public markets for less than $1 per share (on an as-converted to common stock basis) until February 23, 2016, and in no event may GGE beneficially own more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock or voting stock.

The Series A Preferred is redeemable at the option of the Company or anyone that the Company assigns the right to redeem the Series A Preferred to (the “Assigns), if the Company repays the promissory notes issued to BRe BCLIC Primary, BRe BCLIC Sub, BRe WINIC 2013 LTC Primary, BRe WNIC 2013 LTC Sub, HEARTLAND Bank, and RJC, as investors (the “PEDEVCO Senior Loan Investors”), and BAM Administrative Services LLC, as agent for the investors, and any related collateral documents (collectively, the “PEDEVCO Senior Loan”) by November 23, 2015.

2

The Series A Preferred is redeemable as follows:

●   until November 23, 2015, the Company may redeem any or all of the Tranche One shares at a repurchase price of $500 per share;

●   from November 24, 2015 until February 23, 2017, the Company  may redeem any or all of the Tranche One shares and Tranche Two shares at a repurchase price of $650 per share; and

●   from February 24, 2017 until February 23, 2018, the Company  may redeem any or all remaining outstanding shares of Series A Preferred at a repurchase price of $800 per share

In addition, if the Company repays the PEDEVCO Senior Loan and redeems all of the Tranche One shares by November 23, 2015 the above redemption options are modified as follows:

●   the Tranche Four shares are automatically redeemed for $0 per share, and

●   GGE may request (but not require) that we redeem

°   the Tranche Two shares at a redemption price of $650 per share for a period of 30 days following February 23, 2017, and

°   the Tranche Two Shares and 11,625 shares of the Tranche Three shares at a redemption price of $800 per share for a period of 30 days following February 23, 2018.

In the event the Company or its Assigns do not redeem all the Series A Preferred shares, GGE has no recourse against the Company.  However, if the Company or its Assigns do not redeem all the Series A Preferred shares, and the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the 30 day period immediately preceding February 23, 2018 is below $0.80 per share, then the Company is required to issue to GGE up to an additional 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred, pro-rated based on the actual number of shares of Preferred Series A not redeemed and repurchased by the Company.

The Subordinated Note Payable Assumed

The Company assumed approximately $8.35 million of subordinated note payable from GGE in the transaction.  The lender under the subordinated note payable is RJ Credit LLC (“RJC”), which is one of the lenders under the PEDEVCO Senior Loan and is an affiliate of GGE.  The note is due and payable on December 31, 2017, and bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum (24% upon an event of default).  The accrued interest is payable on a monthly basis in cash.  The assumed note is subordinate and subject to the terms and conditions of the PEDEVCO Senior Loan, as well as any of our future secured indebtedness from a lender with an aggregate principal amount of at least $20,000,000.  Should the Company repay the PEDEVCO Senior Loan or replace it with a secured indebtedness from a lender with an aggregate principal amount of at least $20,000,000, RJC agreed to further amend the junior subordinated debt to adjust the frequency of interest payments or to eliminate the payments and replace them with a single payment of the accrued interest to be paid at maturity.

The subordinated note payable contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and requirements for the Company to indemnify RJC and its affiliates, related parties and assigns. The note also includes various covenants (positive and negative) binding the Company, including requiring that the Company provide RJC with quarterly (unaudited) and annual (audited) financial statements, restricting our creation of liens and encumbrances, or sell or otherwise disposing, the collateral under the note.

Heads of Agreement with Dome Energy, Inc.

On February 23, 2015, we entered into a Heads of Agreement with Dome AB and its subsidiary Dome US, pursuant to which the parties agreed to certain terms and conditions for our acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of Dome US (the “DOME Acquisition”). Under the nonbinding Heads of Agreement, we agreed to acquire all of Dome AB’s oil and gas interests in the United States that are held by Dome US in exchange for approximately 140 million shares of our common stock, representing approximately 64% of our total issued and outstanding shares of capital stock on an as-converted basis (assuming the Series A Preferred is converted into common stock, and excluding the 25,000 Tranche Four shares issued to GGE as described above), subject to +/-4% adjustment based on further valuation due diligence by the parties.

The obligations of the parties under the Heads of Agreement are conditioned upon satisfaction or waiver by the parties of the following conditions:

●   approval by each party’s Board of Directors and shareholders in accordance with applicable law and their respective governing documents;

●   approval of a mutually agreeable definitive acquisition agreement;

●   approval from the NYSE MKT of the DOME Acquisition and the issuance and additional listing of our shares issuable in the transaction;

3

●   the registration with the SEC of our shares issuable in the transaction;

●   the provision for the repayment or satisfaction of all amounts due and outstanding under the PEDEVCO Senior Loan on or immediately following the closing of the DOME Acquisition;

●   agreement by RJC to subordinate its $8.35 million junior subordinated debt to DOME US’s senior credit facility;

●   our consummation of the acquisition of the GGE assets (as described above and was completed on February 23, 2015);

●   receipt of all material necessary third party consents and approvals, including approval from each party’s senior lenders, as necessary and required;

●   our continued listing on the NYSE MKT; and

●   completion by each party of confirmatory due diligence, to each such party’s satisfaction, including, but not limited to, with respect to the other party’s oil and gas production, leaseholds, and financial condition.

The parties intend to negotiate and enter into definitive documentation as soon as practicable, with an anticipated signing date to occur before May 24, 2015, and upon terms and conditions as mutually acceptable to the parties. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties, if the DOME Acquisition has not closed by September 30, 2015, either party may terminate the proposed transaction. An additional requirement of the DOME Acquisition is that the number of the members of our Board of Directors be increased by 2 members, who shall be designated by Dome US, one of whom shall be independent. We can make no guarantees or assurances that the parties will be able to mutually agree on definitive documentation, or that the DOME Acquisition will be consummated on terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all.

Settlement Agreement with MIEJ

On February 19, 2015, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with MIEJ, the 80% partner in Condor and the lender under the Amended and Restated Secured Subordinated Promissory Note, dated March 25, 2013, in the principal amount of $6,170,065 (the “MIEJ Note”). The Settlement Agreement and related agreements for the disposition of the Company’s interest in Condor contained the following terms:

●   The Company and MIEJ entered into a new Amended and Restated Secured Subordinated Promissory Note, dated February 19, 2015 (the “New MIEJ Note”), with a principal amount of $4.925 million, extinguishing the original MIEJ Note;

●   The Company sold to MIEJ (i) its 20% interest in Condor, and (ii) all of the direct interests in approximately 945 net acres and working interests in three wells separately owned by the Company;

●   The Company’s employees were removed as officers of Condor, and the Company agreed to assist with Condor’s accounting and audits and perform joint interest billing accounting for a monthly fee of $55,000 for January 2015, $0 for February 2015, $10,000 for March 2015 and $30,000 per month thereafter, pro-rated for partial months, for up to six months;

●   MIEJ paid $500,000 to the Company’s Senior Loan Investors as a principal reduction on the Company’s Senior Loan;

●   Condor forgave approximately $1.8 million in previous working interest expenses related to the drilling and completion of certain wells operated by Condor that the Company owed to Condor ;

●   The Company paid MIEJ $100,000 as a principal reduction under the original MIEJ Note; and

●   The parties fully released each other from every claim, demand or cause of action arising on or before February 19, 2015.

The net effect of these transactions with MIEJ was to reduce approximately $9.4 million in aggregate liabilities due from the Company to MIEJ and Condor to $4.925 million, which is the new principal amount of the New MIEJ Note.

Senior Loan Payment Deferral

On April 24, 2015 certain of our Senior Loan Investors agreed to defer certain mandatory principal repayments and interest payments that would otherwise be payable by us to them in the months of May and June 2015, with such deferred amounts to be used by us solely to renew, extend, re-lease or otherwise acquire leases which will then become additional collateral under the PEDEVCO Senior Loan.  If we do not repay the deferred amounts by July 31, 2015, the deferred amounts will be capitalized and added to the principal due under the PEDEVCO Senior Loan and not due until maturity.  As consideration for this deferral, we have agreed to issue to each Senior Loan Investor participating in the deferral a warrant exercisable for our common stock.  Each warrant has a 3 year term and is exercisable on a cashless basis at an exercise price of $1.50 per share for a number of shares of our common stock equal to (i) the aggregate amount deferred by such lender, divided by (ii) $1.50.  We have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to obtain NYSE MKT additional listing approval for the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and agreed that if we fail to use reasonable efforts, our failure would constitute an event of default under the PEDEVCO Senior Loan, subject to our right to cure.  We estimate that the aggregate principal and interest that may be deferred will be approximately $570,000, which would result in the issuance of warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 380,000 shares of our common stock. 

Stock Issuance

On May 13, 2015, the Company closed an underwritten offering for an aggregate of 5,600,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share. Upon settlement of the offering scheduled for May 18, 2015, the Company expects to receive gross proceeds of $2.8 million before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses as a result of the offering. The Company expects to use the net proceeds of approximately $2.35 million from the May 2015 Offering to extend and acquire additional leasehold rights in our D-J Basin Asset, fund working capital, and for general corporate purposes. While the offering has been priced to date, the offering has not closed as of the date of this filing, and the closing of the offering is subject to customary closing conditions, which the Company anticipates satisfying on or around May 18, 2015. The underwriters have also been granted a 45-day option to purchase up to 840,000 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any.

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, 2014. 

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 March 31, 2015 with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

Oil and Gas Revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we generated a total of $1,488,000 in revenues, compared to $1,007,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase of $481,000 was primarily due to the increased revenue resulting from the Acquired Assets and production from the 3 recently drilled Loomis wells in the current period.  

Lease Operating Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, lease operating expenses associated with the oil and gas properties were $361,000, compared to $606,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease of $245,000 was primarily due to $396,000 of costs expensed from the capitalized inventory acquired from Continental Resources, Inc. in the prior year period upon the sale of the inventory, partially offset by the increased lease operating expenses in the current period related to the Acquired Assets.

Exploration Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, exploration expense was $315,000, compared to $361,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease of $46,000 was primarily due to the purchase of seismic data in the prior period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $2,451,000, compared to $2,356,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease of $95,000 was primarily due to lower legal fees, mostly offset by higher stock compensation expense.  The components of SG&A expense are summarized below (amounts in thousands):  

	For the Three Months Ended
	Ended March 31,				Increase/
(in thousands)	2015		2014		(Decrease)
Payroll and related costs	$	582	$	448	$	134
Stock compensation expense		1,391		1,060		331
Legal fees		83		417		(334	)
Accounting and other professional fees		205		322		(117	)
Insurance		25		22		3
Travel and entertainment		25		34		(9	)
Office rent, communications and other		140		53		87
	$	2,451	$	2,356	$	95

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties.  For the three months ended March 31, 2015, impairment of oil and gas properties was $1,337,000, compared to $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The $1,334,000 increase is due to the impairment of all unproved leasehold property as a result of a change in drilling plans caused primarily by the recent significant oil and gas price declines.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization and Accretion (“DD&A”). For the three months ended March 31, 2015, DD&A costs were $1,045,000, compared to $115,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The $930,000 increase was primarily due to additional depletion from the Acquired Assets and from the 3 recently drilled Loomis wells in the current period.

Loss on Settlement of Payables. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the loss on settlement of payables was $39,000 related to the settlement of payables with our common stock.  We had no loss on settlement of payables for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

5

Gain (Loss) on Sale of Oil and Gas Properties. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, gain on sale of oil and gas properties was $275,000 related to the MIEJ Settlement Agreement, compared a loss on sale of oil and gas properties of $5,659,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to the sale to GGE of 50% of the Wattenberg Asset acquired from Continental.

Gain (Loss) on Sale of Equity Investment. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, gain on sale of equity investment was $566,000 related to the MIEJ Settlement Agreement, compared a loss on sale of equity investment of $1,028,000 was related to the sale of 50% of the Equity in MSL to GGE.

Loss on Sale of Asia Sixth Interest. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, loss on sale of Asia Sixth was $1,945,000 related to the sale of 50% of that asset to GGE. We had no loss on sale of Asia Sixth for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Gain (Loss) from Equity Method Investments. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we had a loss from equity method investments of $91,000 compared to a loss from equity method investments of $274,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in loss of $183,000 is primarily due to the decreased production in our Condor investment in the current period.

Other Income (Expense). For the three months ended March 31, 2015, other expense was $911,000, compared to $1,791,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in other expense of $880,000 was primarily due to the gain on debt extinguishment of $2,192,000 related to the MIEJ Settlement, mostly offset by increased interest expense of $2,051,000 primarily due to the financing costs related to the acquisition of the Wattenberg Asset and the Acquired Assets.

Net Loss Attributable to PEDEVCO Common Stockholders. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, net loss attributable to PEDEVCO common stockholders was $4,182,000, compared to a net loss attributable to PEDEVCO common stockholders of $13,170,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in net loss of $8,988,000 was primarily due to the reasons described above.

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, as well as the potential acquisition of Dome US. The acquisition of Dome US and the D-J Basin Asset Acquisition were structured to work hand in hand with the intent of increasing the assets, proven reserves and cash flow of the Company, for the express purpose of securing lower cost bank financing, whether by increasing Dome US’s current bank facility and/or securing new bank credit to pay down the Company’s current debt and reduce the cost of capital for the Company going forward.

Assuming that we complete one or more public or private debt or equity financings to fund our planned 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 $25 million in order to achieve our plans. The Company has spent $0.2 million of the planned capital expenditures in the three months ended March 31, 2015.  In addition, the Company is currently working with Dome Energy to prepare a projected drilling and completion schedule and budget assuming the Company's acquisition of Dome US is consummated, which new 2015 program we anticipate will provide for the drilling of approximately 9 gross (4.2 net) long lateral wells at an estimated capital cost to the Company of approximately $25.8 million, and 24 gross (9 net) short lateral wells at an estimated capital cost to the Company of approximately $28.0 million, increasing our 2015 capital expenditure program with respect to drilling and completions to approximately $53.8 million, and to approximately $55.5 million total including lease renewals.  We plan to utilize Dome US’s available debt facility, cash on hand, proceeds from future equity offerings, internally generated cash flow, and future debt financings to fund this expanded 2015 capital expenditure program in order to achieve our plans following the consummation of the planned acquisition of Dome US.

We expect to fund our operations and capital expenditure program with our projected cash flow from operations, our existing cash on hand, the $13.5 million gross ($11.0 million net, after origination-related fees and expenses) available under our current debt facility, additional funding through asset sales, farm-out arrangements, lines of credit or public or private debt or equity financings.

6

Our capital budget may be adjusted as business conditions warrant. The amount, timing and allocation of capital expenditures are 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

Secured Debt Funding

During March 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”).  On March 19, 2015, BRe WNIC 2013 LTC Primary transferred a portion of its Initial Note to HEARTLAND Bank, with HEARTLAND Bank becoming an “Investor” upon such date.

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 Initial 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 $190,000 of the legal fees and expenses of the Investors’ counsel, and paid the Casimir Note Closing Fee of $1,742,000, to Casimir Capital LP (“Casimir”), our investment banker in the transaction, leaving a net of approximately $27,393,000 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, currently up to an additional $13.5 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 year ended December 31, 2014, the Company borrowed $1,967,000 for drilling activities. There were no borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015 there was approximately $13.5 million available to draw under the facility. The Notes are due and payable on March 7, 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 GGE agreeing to purchase the Subsequent Notes, GGE 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.

7

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.

Amendment to PEDCO-MIEJ Note and Condor-MIEJ Note

On February 14, 2013, PEDCO entered into a Secured Subordinated Promissory Note, as amended on March 25, 2013 and July 9, 2013 (the “MIEJ Note”, the description of which MIEJ Note below takes into account the amendments to such MIEJ Note as of December 31, 2014) with MIEJ, with an effective date of November 1, 2012. The MIEJ Note converted amounts previously advanced by MIEJ to PEDCO in the amount of $2.17 million to fund operations in the D-J Basin Asset through November 1, 2012, as well as an additional $2 million loaned by MIEJ to PEDCO under the MIEJ Note on February 14, 2013 and $2 million loaned by MIEJ to PEDCO under the MIEJ Note on March 25, 2013, for a total current principal and interest amount outstanding under the MIEJ Note of $6.17 million  and $1,203,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2014.

Furthermore, as previously discussed in February 2015, the Company and PEDCO entered into the MIEJ Settlement Agreement with MIEJ. As part of the MIEJ Settlement Agreement, we entered into the New MIEJ Note, which replaced the original MIEJ Note, in the principal amount of $4.925 million. As of March 31, 2015, the amounts outstanding under the New MIEJ Note was $ 4,925,000.

The New MIEJ Note has an interest rate of 10.0%, with no interest due until maturity, is secured by all of our assets, and is subordinated to the PEDEVCO Senior Loan.  MIEJ has no control over our cash flow and their consent is not required for any disposition, sale, or use of any of our assets.  MIEJ also agreed to subordinate its note to up to an additional $60 million of new senior lending, with any portion of new senior lending in excess of this amount requiring to be paid first to MIEJ until the New MIEJ Note is paid in full.  Further, for every $20 million in new senior lending we raise, MIEJ shall be paid all interest and fees accrued to date on the New MIEJ Note.  The New MIEJ Note is due and payable on March 8, 2017, subject to automatic extensions upon the occurrence of a Long Term Financing or PEDEVCO Senior Lending Restructuring (each as defined below).

On a onetime basis, the PEDEVCO Senior Loan may be refinanced by a new loan (“Long-Term Financing”) by one or more third party replacement lenders (“Replacement Lenders”), and in such event the Company shall undertake commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Replacement Lenders to simultaneously refinance both the PEDEVCO Senior Loan and the New MIEJ Note as part of such Long-Term Financing. If the Replacement Lenders are unable or unwilling to include the New MIEJ Note in such financing, then the Long-Term Financing may proceed without including the New MIEJ Note, and the New MIEJ Note shall remain in place and shall be automatically subordinated, without further consent of MIEJ, to such Long-Term Financing. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of a Long-Term Financing, the maturity of the New MIEJ Note is automatically extended to the same maturity date of the Long-Term Financing, but to no later than March 8, 2020.  Additionally, in connection with the Long-Term Financing:

●   the Long-Term Financing must not exceed $95 million;

●   we must make commercially reasonable best efforts to include adequate reserves or other payment provisions whereby MIEJ is paid all interest and fees accrued on the New MIEJ Note commencing as of March 8, 2017 and annually thereafter, and to allow for quarterly interest payments starting March 31, 2017 of not less than 5% per annum on the outstanding balance of the New MIEJ Note, plus a one-time payment of accrued interest (not to exceed $500,000) as of March 31, 2017; and

●   commencing on March 8, 2017, MIEJ shall have the right to convert the balance of the New MIEJ Note into our common stock at a price equal to 80% of the average closing price per share of our stock over the then previous 60 days, subject to a minimum conversion price of $0.30 per share.  MIEJ shall not be permitted to convert to the extent such conversion would result in MIEJ holding more than 19.9% of our outstanding common stock without approval of our shareholders, which we have agreed to seek at our 2016 annual shareholder meeting or, if not approved then, at our 2017 annual shareholder meeting.

In the event the PEDEVCO Senior Loan is instead refinanced, restructured or extended by the existing PEDEVCO Senior Loan Investors, the maturity of both the New MIEJ Note and the PEDEVCO Senior Loan may be extended to no later than March 8, 2019, without requiring the consent of MIEJ.  However, (i) any such maturity extension of the New MIEJ Note will give MIEJ the right to convert the note into our common stock as described above, commencing on March 8, 2017, and (ii) such extension agreement must provide that MIEJ is paid all interest and fees accrued on the New MIEJ Note as of March 8, 2018.  The New MIEJ Note may be prepaid any time without penalty, and if we repay the New MIEJ Note on or before December 31, 2015, 20% of the principal of the New MIEJ Note amount will be forgiven by MIEJ, and if we repay the New MIEJ Note on or before December 31, 2016, 15% of the principal of the New MIEJ Note amount will be forgiven by MIEJ.

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 was $2.15 per share; and

 (B) following June 1, 2014, the denominator used in the calculation described above is 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 above. 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 $1,900,000 of the original principal amount of the Amended Notes have exercised their option to convert a portion or all of their Amended Notes into common stock of the Company.  We issued an aggregate of 1,618,026 shares of common stock of the Company to holders of the Amended Notes upon conversion of an aggregate of $2,221,000 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 $475,000 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.

Financial Summary

We had total current assets of $6.0 million as of March 31, 2015, including cash of $2.3 million, compared to total current assets of $9.6 million as of December 31, 2014, including a cash balance of $6.7 million.

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.

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 as of March 31, 2015, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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, 2014, filed with the Commission on March 31, 2015, other than as described below, and investors are encouraged to review such risk factors in the Form 10-K, prior to making an investment in the Company.

In the event the Dome Energy transaction closes, it will cause immediate and substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

As described above, we are party to a Heads of Agreement with Dome AB and currently contemplate entering into definitive documentation with Dome AB relating to the acquisition by us of the outstanding securities of Dome US.  We anticipate the consideration exchanged with Dome AB for the securities of Dome US will be approximately 140 million shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 64% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares of capital stock on an as-converted basis (assuming the Series A Preferred is converted into common stock, and excluding the 25,000 Tranche Four Series A Preferred shares issued to GGE as described above), subject to a +/-4% adjustment based on further valuation due diligence by the parties.  As such, in the event we enter into a definitive acquisition with Dome AB, and the contemplated acquisition closes, the issuance of the common stock consideration to Dome AB will result in immediate and substantial dilution to the interests of our then stockholders.

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

On January 7, 2015, the Company granted 965,000 shares of its restricted common stock with a fair value of $357,000, based on the market price on the date of grant, to certain of its employees, including 370,000 shares to Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Frank C. Ingriselli, 325,000 shares to President and Chief Financial Officer Michael L. Peterson, and 270,000 shares to Executive Vice President and General Counsel Clark R. Moore, all pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan and in connection with the Company’s 2014 annual equity incentive compensation review process. 40% of the shares vest on the nine month anniversary of the grant date, 20% vest on the twelve month anniversary of the grant date, 20% vest on the eighteen month anniversary of the grant date and 20% vest on the twenty-four month anniversary of the grant date, all contingent upon the recipient’s continued service with the Company.

On January 7, 2015, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of 1,265,000 shares of common stock to certain of its consultants and employees at an exercise price of $0.37 per share, including an option to purchase 370,000 shares to Mr. Ingriselli, an option to purchase 325,000 shares to Mr. Peterson, and an option to purchase 270,000 shares to Mr. Moore, all pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan and in connection with the Company’s 2014 annual equity incentive compensation review process. The options have terms of five years and fully vest in January 2017.  50% vest six months from the date of grant, 20% vest one year from the date of grant, 20% vest eighteen months from the date of grant and 10% vest 2 years from the date of grant, all contingent upon the recipient’s continued service with the Company.   On January 27, 2015, a holder of Bridge Notes converted an aggregate of $83,000 (principal and accrued interest amounts) due under the Bridge Notes into an aggregate of 165,431 shares of common stock of the Company.  

On February 6, 2015, the Company granted 193,550 shares of its restricted common stock with a fair value of $120,000, based on the market price on the date of grant, to certain members of its board of directors, pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. 100% of the shares vest on September 10, 2015, contingent upon the recipient being a Director of, or employee of or consultant to, the Company on such vesting date.

On February 19, 2015, we issued MIEJ the New MIEJ Note, which is convertible into common stock of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of such note, after March 8, 2017, in the event such maturity date is extended past such date.

On February 23, 2015, we issued GGE (a) 3,375,000 restricted shares of common stock and (b) 66,625 restricted shares of the Company’s newly-designated Amended and Restated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

12

On March 6, 2015, the Company granted 15,000 fully-vested shares of its restricted common stock with a fair value of $10,000, based on the market price on the date of grant, to a consultant pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Amended and Restated 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 May 12, 2015, we filed a preliminary Rule 424(b)(5) prospectus supplement and on May 13, 2015, we filed a final Rule 424(b)(5) prospectus supplement relating to the primary offering by us in a fully-underwritten offering of 5,600,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price per share of $0.50.  The underwriter of the offering, National Securities Corporation, also provided an option to purchase an additional 840,000 shares from us, at the public offering price less the underwriting discount, within 45 days of the offering to cover over-allotments, if any. The offering is scheduled to close on May 18, 2015. The net proceeds to us from our sale of the common stock (excluding the shares that may be sold in connection with the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment) will be approximately $2.35 million (after deducting the underwriting discount and commissions and offering expenses payable by us).

No payments for our expenses will be 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 plan to use the net proceeds from the offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b). While the offering has been priced to date, the offering has not closed as of the date of this filing, and the closing of the offering is subject to customary closing conditions, which the Company anticipates satisfying on or around May 18, 2015.

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).

Re: Consent and Agreement

Dear Messrs. Saks, White and Steinberg:

Reference is made to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated March 7, 2014 (the “NPA”), by and among BRe BCLIC Primary, BRe BCLIC Sub, BRe WNIC 2013 LTC Primary, BRe WNIC 2013 LTC Sub, Heartland Bank and RJ Credit LLC (collectively, the “Purchasers”), BAM Administrative Services LLC, as agent for the Investors (the “Agent”), and PEDEVCO Corp. (the “Company”).  On March 19, 2015, BRe WNIC 2013 LTC Primary transferred a portion of its Note to HEARTLAND Bank (collectively with the Purchasers, the “Investors”).  To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the NPA.

The undersigned Investors hereby agree to defer (the “Principal Deferred”) until the applicable Maturity Date (as defined in each Note) all mandatory principal payments that are otherwise due and payable by the Company to the Investors in the months of May 2015 and June 2015 pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Notes (such waived principal prepayments, the “Deferred Principal Amount”), which Deferred Principal Amount shall solely be used by the Company to renew, extend, re-lease or otherwise acquire leases which shall be Collateral subject to the NPA.  In consideration of each Investors’ willingness to defer the Deferred Principal Amount as described above, the Company shall pay to each Investor (other than RJ Credit LLC (“RJC”)), on or prior to July 31, 2015 (the “Recapitalization Date”) a non-refundable, fully earned fee in an amount equal to the Deferred Principal Amount, as determined pursuant to Section 3.2 of such Investor’s Note (the “Deferral Fee”).  Unless otherwise paid in cash in full on or prior to the Recapitalization Date, the Deferral Fee owing to each Investor shall be automatically capitalized and added as principal due under each such Investor’s respective Note on the Recapitalization Date and payable on the Maturity Date thereof; provided, that, in the event that all Obligations outstanding under the Notes are indefeasibly paid in full prior to the Recapitalization Date (a “Payoff Date”), the Investors shall each be deemed hereunder to have automatically, and without any required further action by any party, waived and forgiven the payment of Deferral Fee in its entirety as of such Payoff Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, no interest shall accrue with respect to the Deferral Fee until such time as the Deferral Fee is capitalized as principal due under the Notes as described above.

RJC hereby further agrees to defer (the “Interest Deferral”) any and all interest due and payable by the Company to RJC in May 2015 and June 2015 pursuant to (i) that certain Senior Secured Promissory Note, dated March 7, 2014, issued by the Company to RJC, and (ii) that certain Note and Security Agreement, dated April 10, 2014, as amended on February 23, 2015, issued by the Company to RJC (each, an “RJC Note,” and together, the “RJC Notes”, and such waived interest payments, the “Deferred Interest Amount”), which Deferred Interest Amount shall solely be used by the Company to renew, extend, re-lease or otherwise acquire leases which shall be Collateral subject to the NPA.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing by RJC and the Company, in the event the Company does not pay to RJC the Waived Interest Amount in full by the Recapitalization Date, the Waived Interest Amount corresponding to each RJC Note shall be capitalized and added as principal due under each RJC Note, respectively, on such date, and payable on the Maturity Date thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, no interest or other fees shall be due or owing with respect to the Waived Interest Amount, with interest only accruing on such Waived Interest Amount once it is capitalized and added as principal due under the RJC Notes upon the Recapitalization Date.

As additional consideration for the Investors agreeing to the terms described herein, on the earlier to occur of the Recapitalization Date or the Payoff Date (regardless of whether the Obligations under the Notes have been indefeasibly paid in full), and subject to NYSE MKT additional listing approval, the Company shall issue to each Investor a warrant (each, a “Warrant”) with a three (3) year term (the “Term”) immediately exercisable during such Term at a price of $1.50 per share for a number of shares of common stock of the Company (the “Warrant Shares”) equal to (i) the aggregate total of Deferred Principal Amount plus any and all Deferred Interest Amount deferred by each such respective Investor, divided by (ii) $1.50, rounded up to the nearest whole share, pursuant to the form of Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The Company hereby agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain NYSE MKT additional listing approval with respect to the Warrant Shares as promptly as possible following the date that the number of Warrant Shares is determined and to further provide the Agent upon its request all copies of all correspondence and other documentation submitted by the Company in support of its efforts to secure such listing approval of the Warrant Shares (the “Listing Covenant”).  In the event that the NYSE MKT does not approve the additional listing of the Warrant Shares and the Agent shall reasonably determine that the Company shall have failed to use its reasonable best efforts to satisfy the Listing Covenant above, an Event of Default under the NPA and the Notes shall automatically arise thirty (30) days following the Company’s receipt of written notice of such breach; provided that the Company shall not have cured such breach within such thirty (30) day period.

The Investors hereby consent and agree that neither the Principal Deferral nor the Interest Deferral as contemplated and described hereunder shall give rise to a breach or an event of default under the NPA, the Notes (including the RJC Notes), or any other Transaction Documents, or otherwise trigger any right to prepayment under the NPA, the Notes (including the RJC Notes), or any of the other Transaction Documents. Except as described in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing contained herein shall (a) limit in any manner whatsoever the Company’s obligation to comply with, and each Investors’ right to insist on the Company’s compliance with, each and every term of each Note, the NPA and each other Transaction Document, or (b) constitute a waiver of any event of default or any right or remedy available to any Investor, or of the Company’s or any other person’s obligation to pay and perform all of its obligations, in each case whether arising under the Notes, the NPA or any other Transaction Document, applicable law and/or in equity, all of which rights and remedies howsoever arising are hereby expressly reserved, are not waived and may be exercised by Investors at any time, and none of which obligations are waived.

The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and each of the Investors that on the date hereof and after giving effect to this Consent and Agreement, (i) each of the representations and warranties of the Company and the Subsidiaries in the NPA and the other Transaction Documents are and shall be true and correct in all material respects, except for representations and warranties that speak as of a particular date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will occur as a result of the consummation of this Consent and Agreement.

Except as specifically set forth herein, all terms and conditions of the NPA, the Notes, the RJC Notes and other Transaction Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR ANY OF THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS COVERED BY AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.

Warrant Date:                                           _________________, 2015

PEDEVCO CORP.

WARRANT

FOR THE PURCHASE OF

COMMON STOCK

1.Issuance.  For value received, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by PEDEVCO Corp., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), ___________________________, or registered assigns (the “Holder”), is hereby granted the right to purchase, at any time until the close of business on ____________________, 2018 (the “Expiration Date”), _________________________________ (__________________) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value US$0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of US$1.50 per share (the “Exercise Price”).

2.Procedure for Exercise.  Upon surrender of this Warrant with the annexed Notice of Exercise Form duly executed, together with payment in cash, by wire transfer or by certified check of the Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased within five business days of the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise and Exercise Price.  This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part. On any such partial exercise, provided the Holder has surrendered the original Warrant, the Company promptly will issue and deliver to the order of the Holder a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Holder, for the whole number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant may still be exercised.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time that there is not an effective registration statement of the Company covering the resale of the Warrant Shares (as defined below), then in lieu of paying the Exercise Price in cash or by wire transfer or by certified check, at the Holder’s election, as indicated on its Notice of Exercise, the Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by way of Cashless Exercise.  For purposes of this Section 2, the term “Cashless Exercise” means an exercise of this Warrant pursuant to which the Company issues to the Holder a number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

X = Y ((A-B)/A)

Where:

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6.

Y = the total number of Warrant Shares designated in the applicable subscription as being subject to the Cashless Exercise (as adjusted as provided herein).

A = the average closing price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Company’s receipt of the respective Exercise Notice (the “Fair Market Value”).

B = the Warrant Exercise Price

3.Reservation of Shares.  The Company hereby agrees that at all times during the term of this Warrant there shall be reserved for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be required for issuance upon exercise hereof (the “Warrant Shares”).  Any shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and free of all liens and charges and not subject to any preemptive rights.

4.Mutilation or Loss of Warrant.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) receipt of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.

5.No Rights as Shareholder.  The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

6.Effect of Certain Transactions

6.1Adjustments for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends Etc.  If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are increased or decreased by a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or the like, the Exercise Price and the number of shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be adjusted proportionately so that the ratio of (i) the aggregate number of shares purchasable by exercise of this Warrant to (ii) the total number of shares outstanding immediately following such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or the like shall remain unchanged, and the aggregate purchase price of shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall remain unchanged.

6.2Expiration Upon Certain Transactions.  If at any time the Company plans to sell all or substantially all of its assets or engage in a merger or consolidation of the Company in which the Company will not survive and in which holders of the Common Stock will receive consideration at or above the Exercise Price, as adjusted (other than a merger or consolidation with or into a wholly- or partially-owned subsidiary of the Company or a migratory merger to establish a new state of incorporation), the Company will give the Holder of this Warrant advance written notice.  Upon the occurrence of any such event, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in full without any action required on the part of the Holder.

6.3Adjustments for Reorganization, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets.  If at any time there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a recapitalization, combination, or the like provided for elsewhere in this Section 6) or merger or consolidation of the Company with another corporation (other than one covered by Section 6.2), or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets to any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant (and only to the extent this Warrant is exercised), the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation or sale, to which a holder of Common Stock, or other securities, deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant would otherwise have been entitled on such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale.  In any such case, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 6 (including adjustment of the Exercise Price then in effect and number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, but no such adjustment shall increase the aggregate Exercise Price under this Warrant) which shall be applicable after such events.

7.Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act.  This Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and has been issued to the Holder for investment and not with a view to the distribution of either this Warrant or the Warrant Shares.  Neither this Warrant nor any of the Warrant Shares or any other security issued or upon exercise of this Warrant may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of (a) an effective registration statement under the Act relating to such security, (b) in the case of a  Cashless Exercise and subsequent sale of transfer of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to such Cashless Exercise, evidence that the Holder has held this Warrant and such shares of Common Stock for an aggregate of six (6) continuous months so that such shares of Common Stock may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act  or (c) an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required under the Act.  Each certificate for this Warrant, the Warrant Shares and any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, setting forth the restrictions on transfer contained in this Section.

8.Notices.  Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or sent by certified, registered or express mail, postage pre-paid.  Any such notice shall be deemed given when so delivered personally, or if mailed, two days after the date of deposit in the United States mails, as follows:

If to the Company, to:

Attention:  Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel

If to the Holder, to his address appearing on the Company’ records.

Any party may designate another address or person for receipt of notices hereunder by notice given to the other parties in accordance with this Section.

9.Supplements and Amendments; Whole Agreement.  This Warrant may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Holder hereof.  This Warrant contains the full understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no representations, warranties, agreements or understandings other than expressly contained herein.

10.Governing Law.  This Warrant shall be deemed to be a contract made under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of such State applicable to contracts to be made and performed entirely within such State. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Warrant shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in Southern District of New York.  The parties to this Warrant hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Warrant by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

11.Counterparts.  This Warrant may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

12.Descriptive Headings.  Descriptive headings of the several Sections of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof.

13.Assignability.  This Warrant or any part hereof may only be hereafter assigned by the Holder to an affiliate thereof executing documents reasonably required by the Company.  Any such assignment shall be binding on the Company and shall inure to the benefit of any such assignee.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Warrant as of the Warrant Date set forth above.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2015

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and those of its wholly and partially-owned subsidiaries as follows: (i) Eagle Domestic Drilling Operations LLC, a Texas limited liability company (which was voluntarily dissolved effective July 10, 2013); (ii) Blast AFJ, Inc., a Delaware corporation; (iii) Pacific Energy Development Corp., a Nevada corporation; (iv) Pacific Energy Technology Services, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (owned 70% by us); (v) Pacific Energy & Rare Earth Limited, a Hong Kong company; (vi) Blackhawk Energy Limited, a British Virgin Islands company; (vii) White Hawk Petroleum, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company,  (viii) Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, which was formed on January 16, 2014, and (ix) Pacific Energy Development MSL, LLC (“MSL”) (owned 50% by us) and is included in our consolidated results. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Equity Method Accounting for Joint Ventures. A portion of the Company’s oil and gas interests were held all or in part by the following joint venture which ise collectively owned with affiliates of MIE Holdings:

 -    Condor Energy Technology LLC, a Nevada limited liability company owned 20% by the Company and 80% by an affiliate of MIE Holdings. The Company accounted for its 20% ownership in Condor using the equity method; and

The Company evaluated its relationship with Condor to determine if it qualified as a variable interest entity ("VIE"), as defined in ASC 810-10, and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, in which case consolidation would be required. The Company determined that Condor qualified as a VIE, but since the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Condor, the Company concluded that consolidation was not required during 2014 for Condor. In February 2015, the Company divested its interest in Condor.  See Note 4.

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 March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2015, approximately $1,757,000 of the Company’s cash balances were uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

Sales to one customer comprised 84% of the Company’s total oil and gas revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Sales to one customer comprised 55% of the Company’s total oil and gas revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014. 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 $373,000 related to receivables from joint interest owners.

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.

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.

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.

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. The Company utilizes 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.

Loss per Common Share. Basic loss per common share equals net loss divided by weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes 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 months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and therefore, basic and diluted loss per share for those periods are the same as all potential common equivalent shares would be anti-dilutive. The Company excluded 1,403,898 and 1,201,944 potentially issuable shares of common stock related to options, 6,594,129 and 2,986,704 potentially issuable shares of common stock related to warrants and 1,179,928 and 1,445,401 potentially issuable shares of common stock related to the conversion of Bridge Notes due to their anti-dilutive effect for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.   

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company follows 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. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 amends previous guidance to require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company expects that the affected amounts on its balance sheets will be reclassified within the balance sheets upon adoption of this ASU to conform to this standard. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its financial statements.

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

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

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 “D-J 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 (“Red Hawk”).

The Company owned a 20% interest in Condor Energy Technology, LLC (“Condor”). Condor’s operations consisted primarily of working interests in oil and gas leases in the Niobrara shale formation located in the D-J Basin in Morgan and Weld Counties, Colorado. The remaining interest in Condor is owned by an affiliate of MIE Holdings Corporation (“MIE Holdings”, Hong Kong Stock Exchange code: 1555.HK). MIE Holdings is one of the largest independent upstream onshore oil companies in China. In addition, the Company made a direct investment into the drilling and completion of the first three wells that Condor drilled and completed.  In February, 2015, the Company divested its interest in Condor and the wells in which it had a direct working interest.  See Note 4.

The Company plans to focus on the development of shale oil and gas assets held by the Company in the U.S., including its oil and gas working interests in the Wattenberg and Wattenberg Extension in the D-J Basin (the “D-J Basin Asset”), which the Company acquired in March 2014 from Continental Resources, Inc. (“Continental” and the “Continental Acquisition”). Additionally, the recent acquisition of additional oil and gas working interests in February 2015 from Golden Globe Energy (US), LLC (“GGE”) (the “D-J Basin Acquisition”), the Company has significantly increased the working interests owned by the Company in the D-J Basin Asset. 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.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and those of its wholly and partially-owned subsidiaries as follows: (i) Eagle Domestic Drilling Operations LLC, a Texas limited liability company (which was voluntarily dissolved effective July 10, 2013); (ii) Blast AFJ, Inc., a Delaware corporation; (iii) Pacific Energy Development Corp., a Nevada corporation; (iv) Pacific Energy Technology Services, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (owned 70% by us); (v) Pacific Energy & Rare Earth Limited, a Hong Kong company; (vi) Blackhawk Energy Limited, a British Virgin Islands company; (vii) White Hawk Petroleum, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company,  (viii) Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, which was formed on January 16, 2014, and (ix) Pacific Energy Development MSL, LLC (“MSL”) (owned 50% by us) and is included in our consolidated results. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Equity Method Accounting for Joint Ventures

Equity Method Accounting for Joint Ventures. A portion of the Company’s oil and gas interests were held all or in part by the following joint venture which ise collectively owned with affiliates of MIE Holdings:

 -    Condor Energy Technology LLC, a Nevada limited liability company owned 20% by the Company and 80% by an affiliate of MIE Holdings. The Company accounted for its 20% ownership in Condor using the equity method; and

The Company evaluated its relationship with Condor to determine if it qualified as a variable interest entity ("VIE"), as defined in ASC 810-10, and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, in which case consolidation would be required. The Company determined that Condor qualified as a VIE, but since the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Condor, the Company concluded that consolidation was not required during 2014 for Condor. In February 2015, the Company divested its interest in Condor.  See Note 4.

Non-Controlling Interests

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

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

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 March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, cash equivalents consisted of money market funds and cash on deposit.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

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 March 31, 2015, approximately $1,757,000 of the Company’s cash balances were uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

Sales to one customer comprised 84% of the Company’s total oil and gas revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Sales to one customer comprised 55% of the Company’s total oil and gas revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014. 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. 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 $373,000 related to receivables from joint interest owners.

Equipment

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Revenue Recognition

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.

Income Taxes

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

Stock-Based Compensation. The Company utilizes 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.

Loss per Common Share

Loss per Common Share. Basic loss per common share equals net loss divided by weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes 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 months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and therefore, basic and diluted loss per share for those periods are the same as all potential common equivalent shares would be anti-dilutive. The Company excluded 1,403,898 and 1,459,724 potentially issuable shares of common stock related to options, 6,594,129 and 2,986,704 potentially issuable shares of common stock related to warrants and 1,179,928 and 1,174,508 potentially issuable shares of common stock related to the conversion of Bridge Notes due to their anti-dilutive effect for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.   

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company follows 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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 amends previous guidance to require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company expects that the affected amounts on its balance sheets will be reclassified within the balance sheets upon adoption of this ASU to conform to this standard. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its financial statements.

Subsequent Events

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

11. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Mar. 31, 2015

Equity [Abstract]

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

PREFERRED STOCK

At March 31, 2015, the Company was authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of its Series A preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued shares of Series A preferred stock as follows:

On February 23, 2015, the Company issued 66,625 Series A Preferred to GGE as part of the consideration paid for the Acquired Assets. The fair value of the Series A preferred stock was $28,402,000 based on a calculation using the binomial lattice model. See note 14.

The 66,625 shares of Series A Preferred issued to GGE are redeemable and contingently convertible in 4 tranches as follows:  (i) 15,000 shares in Tranche One; (ii) 15,000 shares in Tranche Two; (iii) 11,625 shares in Tranche Three; and (iv) 25,000 shares in Tranche Four.

In addition, the 66,625 shares of Series A Preferred stock issued to GGE currently have the following features:

●   a liquidation preference senior to all of the Company’s common stock equal to $400 per share;

●   a dividend, payable annually, of 10% of the liquidation preference;

●   voting rights on all matters, with each share having 1 vote; and

●   a conversion feature at GGE’s option, which must be approved by a majority of the shareholders’ of the Company which will allow the Series A Preferred stock to be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock on a 1,000:1 basis.

Additionally, if the Company receives shareholders’ approval for the conversion feature the Series A Preferred features are also modified as follows:

●   the Series A Preferred shall automatically cease accruing dividends and all accrued and unpaid dividends will be automatically forfeited and forgiven;

●   the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred will be reduced to $0.001 per share from $400 per share.

The contingent conversion feature also provides that GGE will be subject to a lock-up that prohibits it from selling the shares of common stock through the public markets for less than $1 per share (on an as-converted to common stock basis) until February 23, 2016, and in no event may GGE beneficially own more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock or voting stock.

The Series A Preferred is redeemable at the option of the Company or anyone that the Company assigns the right to redeem the Series A Preferred to (the “Assigns), if the Company repays the Secured Promissory Notes by November 23, 2015.

The Series A Preferred is redeemable as follows:

●   until November 23, 2015, the Company may redeem any or all of the Tranche One shares at a repurchase price of $500 per share;

●   from November 24, 2015 until February 23, 2017, the Company  may redeem any or all of the Tranche One shares and Tranche Two shares at a repurchase price of $650 per share; and

●   from February 24, 2017 until February 23, 2018, the Company  may redeem any or all remaining outstanding shares of Series A Preferred at a repurchase price of $800 per share

In addition, if the Company repays the Secured Promissory Notes and redeems all of the Tranche One shares by November 23, 2015 the above redemption options are modified as follows:

●   the Tranche Four shares are automatically redeemed for $0 per share, and

●   GGE may request (but not require) that the Company redeem

°   the Tranche Two shares at a redemption price of $650 per share for a period of 30 days following February 23, 2017, and

°   the Tranche Two Shares and 11,625 shares of the Tranche Three shares at a redemption price of $800 per share for a period of 30 days following February 23, 2018.

In the event the Company or its Assigns do not redeem all the Series A Preferred shares, GGE has no recourse against the Company.  However, if the Company or its Assigns do not redeem all the Series A Preferred shares, and the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the 30 day period immediately preceding February 23, 2018 is below $0.80 per share, then the Company is required to issue to GGE up to an additional 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred, pro-rated based on the actual number of shares of Preferred Series A not redeemed and repurchased by the Company.

As of March 31, 2015, there were 66,625 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock outstanding.

COMMON STOCK

At March 31, 2015, the Company was authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of its common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued shares of common stock or restricted common stock as follows:

On January 7, 2015, the Company granted 965,000 shares of its restricted common stock with a fair value of $357,000, based on the market price on the date of grant, to certain of its employees, including 370,000 shares to Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Frank C. Ingriselli, 325,000 shares to President and Chief Financial Officer Michael L. Peterson, and 270,000 shares to Executive Vice President and General Counsel Clark R. Moore, all pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan and in connection with the Company’s 2014 annual equity incentive compensation review process. 40% of the shares vest on the nine month anniversary of the grant date, 20% vest on the twelve month anniversary of the grant date, 20% vest on the eighteen month anniversary of the grant date and 20% vest on the twenty-four month anniversary of the grant date, all contingent upon the recipient’s continued service with the Company.

On January 27, 2015, a holder of Convertible Bridge Notes converted an aggregate of $83,000 (principal and accrued interest amounts) due under the Convertible Bridge Notes into an aggregate of 165,431 shares of common stock of the Company.  

On February 6, 2015, the Company granted 193,550 shares of its restricted common stock with a fair value of $120,000, based on the market price on the date of grant, to certain members of its board of directors, pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, of which $29,000 was expensed as of March 31, 2015. 100% of the shares vest on September 10, 2015, contingent upon the recipient being a Director of, or employee of or consultant to, the Company on such vesting date.

On February 23, 2015, the Company issued 3,375,000 restricted common shares to GGE valued at $0.81 per share, based on the market price on the date of grant, as part of the consideration paid for the Acquired Assets.

On March 6, 2015, the Company granted 15,000 fully-vested shares of its restricted common stock with a fair value of $10,000, based on the market price on the date of grant, to a consultant pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan. 

As of March 31, 2015, Convertible Bridge Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $475,000 remain outstanding, plus accrued interest of $73,000 and additional payment-in-kind of $48,000. The aggregate principal and accrued, unpaid interest and payment-in-kind amounts are available for conversion into common stock pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Bridge Notes. The closing of our common stock on March 31,2015 was $0.82.

Stock compensation expense recorded related to restricted stock during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $853,000. The remaining unamortized stock compensation expense at March 31, 2015 related to restricted stock was $2,087,000.

NOTES RECEIVABLE

The Company loaned Condor funds for operations pursuant to a promissory note entered into on February 14, 2013, which permitted multiple loans to be made up to $8,000,000 as separate “advances”. As of December 31, 2014, the balance of the notes receivable prior to applying the excess loss from Condor was $6,979,000 plus accrued interest of $121,000 due from Condor.

5. DEPOSIT FOR BUSINESS ACQUISITION

Business Combinations [Abstract]

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.  

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 the Company or its 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 also entered into an agreement with GGE to convey 50% of our interests in Asia Sixth in connection with the GGE financing.   In the event of any refund of the initial deposit by Asia Sixth, the Company must provide 50% of such refund to GGE or its designee.

In connection with the March 2014 financing, the Company allocated $3,055,000 of the proceeds from the debt financing to the 50% interest in Asia Sixth conveyed to GGE and recorded a loss on sale of $1,945,000.  

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 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 rights 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 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 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.

In connection with our D-J Basin Acquisition, on February 23, 2015, we provided GGE a one-year option to acquire our interest in the Caspian SPA for $100,000 payable upon exercise of the option recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets.  As a result, the carrying value of the note receivable at March 31, 2015 was $0. See Note 4.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 13 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In connection with the drilling and completion of the initial well on the Company’s legacy asset in the Niobrara formation of the D-J Basin (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. See Note 9 – Related Party Financings 

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 December 31, 2014, Condor owed the Company $21,000 from production sales related to the Company’s net revenue interest in the D-J Basin Asset which is reflected in accounts receivable – oil and gas – related party in the accompanying balance sheet. At December 31, 2014, the Company owed Condor $30,000 from production related expenses and $1,853,000 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. As discussed in Note 4, in February 2015, the Company and PEDCO entered into the MIEJ Settlement Agreement with MIEJ. As part of the MIEJ Settlement Agreement, all amounts owed to or from Condor were restructured. As of March 31, 2015, there was $120,000 of accrued interest related to the New MIEJ Note.

In addition, as part of the MIEJ Settlement Agreement PEDCO agreed to provide assistance in the orderly transfer of the operational management, finance and accounting matters involving Condor to MIEJ, and upon the request of MIEJ, PEDCO agreed for a period of up to six (6) months (terminable upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice from MIEJ to PEDCO), PEDCO shall continue to assist with Condor’s accounting and audits and perform joint interest billing accounting on behalf of Condor for a monthly fee of $55,000 for January 2015, $0 for February 2015, $10,000 for March 2015 and $30,000 per month thereafter, pro-rated for partial months.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company charged $56,000 and $168,000, respectively, in expenses related to a management services agreement with Condor and charged $10,000 and $-0-, respectively, in expenses related to a management services agreement with MIEJ. 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. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had accrued $56,000 in amounts due from Condor under the agreement.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

Due to the Company’s net losses, there was no provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

	As of			As of
	March 31,			December 31,
	2015			2014
Deferred Tax Assets (Liabilities)
Difference in depreciation, depletion, and capitalization methods – oil and natural gas properties	$	2,278		$	1,385
Net operating losses		4,131			4,131
Impairment – oil and natural gas properties		(1,122	)		(1,122	)
Other		535			623
Total deferred tax asset		5,822			5,017
Less: valuation allowance		(5,822	)		(5,017	)
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 March 31, 2015. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was an increase of $805,000.

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 March 31, 2015, 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 March 31, 2015.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $48,969,000 and $49,922,000 (subject to limitations) for federal and state tax purposes, respectively. If not utilized, these losses will begin to expire beginning in 2032 and 2023, respectively, for both federal and state purposes.

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%.

NOTES PAYABLE

Note Purchase Agreement and Sale of Secured Promissory Notes

On March 7, 2014, the Company entered into a $50 million financing facility (the “Notes Purchase Agreement”) 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”).   The Company 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.  On March 19, 2015, BRe WNIC 2013 LTC Primary transferred a portion of its Initial Note to HEARTLAND Bank, with HEARTLAND Bank becoming an “Investor”.

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.

The Initial Notes are due and payable on March 7, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”), and may be repaid in full without premium or penalty at any time. Additionally, the Company is 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. See Note 15 for information related to recent agreements to defer certain principal and interest payments.

amount outstanding under the Initial Notes is secured by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s 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 its real property located in the state of Colorado and the state of Texas.  Additionally, the Company’s obligations under the Initial Notes, Note Purchase Agreement and related agreements were guaranteed by its wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries.

The Company did not borrow any proceeds under the Notes Purchase Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, there was approximately $13.5 million gross ($11.0 million net, after origination-related fees and expenses) 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 accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 was $16,639,000. Amortization of debt discount, amortization of deferred financing costs and interest expense, related to the Initial Notes and the first advance, was $1,018,000, $486,000 and $1,426,000 for the hree months ended March 31, 2015, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, there were $173,000 of payments made to reduce the outstanding Initial Notes.

Convertible Notes Payable – Bridge Notes

On March 7, 2014, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Secured Promissory Notes (each, a “Second Amended Note,” and collectively, the “Convertible Bridge Notes”) with all but one of the holders (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 Convertible Bridge Notes 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 payment-in kind(“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.  Upon a conversion, a holder shall receive the number of shares of common stock by dividing the Conversion Amount by a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) as follows

(A)	prior to June 1, 2014, the Conversion Price was $2.15 per share; and
(B)	following June 1, 2014, the denominator used in the calculation described above is 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.

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.

The unamortized debt premium on the Convertible Bridge Notes as of March 31, 2015, was $113,000.

In connection with the Second Amended Note, 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 issued and additional PIK under the Secured Promissory Notes of $111,000 and $148,000, respectively. The Company recorded $212,000 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 January 2015, one holder of Bridge Notes converted an aggregate of $83,000 (principal and accrued interest amounts) due under the Bridge Notes into an aggregate of 165,431 shares of common stock of the Company.  

As of March 31, 2015, Bridge Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $475,000 remain outstanding, plus accrued interest of $73,000 and additional PIK of $48,000. The aggregate principal and accrued and unpaid interest and PIK amounts are available for conversion into common stock pursuant to the terms of the Bridge Notes. The interest expense related to these notes for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $15,000 and $232,000, respectively.

The Subordinated Note Payable Assumed

The Company assumed approximately $8.35 million of subordinated note payable from GGE in the acquisition of the Acquired Assets, which amount is outstanding as of March 31, 2015.  The lender under the subordinated note payable is RJC, which is one of the lenders under the Secured Promissory Notes and is an affiliate of GGE.  The note is due and payable on December 31, 2017, and bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum (24% upon an event of default).  The accrued interest is payable on a monthly basis in cash.  The assumed note payable is subordinate and subject to the terms and conditions of the Secured Promissory Notes, as well as any future secured indebtedness from a lender with an aggregate principal amount of at least $20,000,000.  Should the Company repay the Secured Promissory Notes or replace them with a secured indebtedness from a lender with an aggregate principal amount of at least $20,000,000, RJC agreed to further amend the subordinated note payable to adjust the frequency of interest payments or to eliminate the payments and replace them with a single payment of the accrued interest to be paid at maturity. 

The subordinated note payable contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and requirements for the Company to indemnify RJC and its affiliates, related parties and assigns. The note payable also includes various covenants (positive and negative) binding the Company, including requiring that the Company provide RJC with quarterly (unaudited) and annual (audited) financial statements, restricting our creation of liens and encumbrances, or sell or otherwise disposing, the collateral under the note.

Related Party Financings

MIE Jurassic Energy Corporation

On February 14, 2013, PEDCO entered into a Secured Subordinated Promissory Note, as amended on March 25, 2013 and July 9, 2013 (the “MIEJ Note”, as amended through December 31, 2014) with MIEJ. The MIEJ Note had a total principal and interest amount outstanding of $6.17 million  and $1,203,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2014.

In February 2015, the Company and PEDCO entered into the MIEJ Settlement Agreement with MIEJ. As part of the MIEJ Settlement Agreement, the Company entered into the New MIEJ Note, which extinguished the original MIEJ Note, and reduced the principal amount owed from $6.17 million to $4.925 million. As of March 31, 2015, the amount outstanding under the New MIEJ Note was $4,925,000. The Company recognized a gain on debt extinguishment during the three months ended March 31, 2015 related to these transactions of $2,192,000.

The New MIEJ Note has an interest rate of 10.0%, with no interest due until maturity, is secured by all of the Company’s assets, and is subordinated to the Secured Promissory Notes.  MIEJ also agreed to subordinate its note up to an additional $60 million of new senior lending, with any portion of new senior lending in excess of this amount requiring to be paid first to MIEJ until the New MIEJ Note is paid in full.  Further, for every $20 million in new senior lending the Company raises, MIEJ shall be paid all interest and fees accrued to date on the New MIEJ Note.  The New MIEJ Note is due and payable on March 8, 2017, subject to automatic extensions upon the occurrence of a Long Term Financing or PEDEVCO Senior Lending Restructuring (each as defined below).

On a onetime basis, the Secured Promissory Notes may be refinanced by a new loan (“Long-Term Financing”) by one or more third party replacement lenders (“Replacement Lenders”), and in such event the Company shall undertake commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Replacement Lenders to simultaneously refinance both the Secured Promissory Notes and the New MIEJ Note as part of such Long-Term Financing. If the Replacement Lenders are unable or unwilling to include the New MIEJ Note in such financing, then the Long-Term Financing may proceed without including the New MIEJ Note, and the New MIEJ Note shall remain in place and shall be automatically subordinated, without further consent of MIEJ, to such Long-Term Financing. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of a Long-Term Financing, the maturity of the New MIEJ Note is automatically extended to the same maturity date of the Long-Term Financing, but to no later than March 8, 2020.  Additionally, in connection with the Long-Term Financing:

●   The Long-Term Financing must not exceed $95 million;

●   The Company must make commercially reasonable best efforts to include adequate reserves or other payment provisions whereby MIEJ is paid all interest and fees accrued on the New MIEJ Note commencing as of March 8, 2017 and annually thereafter, and to allow for quarterly interest payments starting March 31, 2017 of not less than 5% per annum on the outstanding balance of the New MIEJ Note, plus a one-time payment of accrued interest (not to exceed $500,000) as of March 31, 2017; and

●   Commencing on March 8, 2017, MIEJ shall have the right to convert the balance of the New MIEJ Note into the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 80% of the average closing price per share of our stock over the then previous 60 days, subject to a minimum conversion price of $0.30 per share.  MIEJ shall not be permitted to convert if the conversion would result in MIEJ holding more than 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock without approval from the Company’s shareholders, which the Company has agreed to seek at its 2016 annual shareholder meeting or, if not approved then, at its 2017 annual shareholder meeting.

In the event the Secured Promissory Notes are not refinanced, restructured or extended by the existing Investors, the maturity of both the New MIEJ Note and the Secured Promissory Notes may be extended to no later than March 8, 2019, without requiring the consent of MIEJ.  However, (i) any such maturity extension of the New MIEJ Note will give MIEJ the right to convert the note into our common stock as described above, commencing on March 8, 2017, and (ii) such extension agreement must provide that MIEJ is paid all interest and fees accrued on the New MIEJ Note as of March 8, 2018.  The New MIEJ Note may be prepaid any time without penalty, and if we repay the New MIEJ Note on or before December 31, 2015, 20% of the principal of the New MIEJ Note amount will be forgiven by MIEJ, and if we repay the New MIEJ Note on or before December 31, 2016, 15% of the principal of the New MIEJ Note amount will be forgiven by MIEJ.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Secured Promissory Notes Payment Deferral

On April 24, 2015 certain of the Company’s Investors agreed to allow the Company to defer the mandatory principal repayments and interest payments due for the months of May and June 2015, with such deferred amounts to be used to renew, extend, re-lease or otherwise acquire leases which will then become additional collateral under the Secured Promissory Notes.  If the Company does not repay the deferred amounts by July 31, 2015, the deferred amounts will be added to the principal due under the Secured Promissory Notes, recorded as additional interest expense on the notes, and the amounts will not be due until maturity. 

As consideration for this deferral, the Company has agreed to issue to each Investor participating in the deferral, a warrant exercisable for the Company’s common stock.  Each warrant has a 3 year term and is exercisable on a cashless basis at an exercise price of $1.50 per share of common stock equal to the aggregate amount deferred by such Investor, divided by $1.50. The Company currently estimates that the aggregate principal and interest that may be deferred will be approximately $570,000, which would result in the issuance of warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 380,000 shares of our common stock. 

Stock Issuance

On May 13, 2015, the Company closed an underwritten offering for an aggregate of 5,600,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share. Upon settlement of the offering scheduled for May 18, 2015, the Company expects to receive gross proceeds of $2.8 million before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses as a result of the offering. The Company expects to use the net proceeds of approximately $2.35 million from the May 2015 Offering to extend and acquire additional leasehold rights in our D-J Basin Asset, fund working capital, and for general corporate purposes. While the offering has been priced to date, the offering has not closed as of the date of this filing, and the closing of the offering is subject to customary closing conditions, which the Company anticipates satisfying on or around May 18, 2015. The underwriters have also been granted a 45-day option to purchase up to 840,000 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any.

The effective date of the transaction was January 1, 2015, with the exception of all revenues and refunds attributable to GGE’s approximate 49.7% interest in each of the Loomis 2-1H, Loomis 2-3H and Loomis 2-6H wells, which revenues and refunds the Company owns from the date of first production, which are estimated through January 2015 to total approximately $700,000.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE

As defined in our accounting policy on the fair value of financial instruments, financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial instruments that were accounted for at fair value as of March 31, 2015 (in thousands):

	Fair Value Measurements At March 31, 2015
	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs		Total Carrying Value
	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock	$	-	$	-	$	28,402	$	28,402

The Company believes there is no active market or significant other market data for the Series A Preferred stock as it is held by a limited number of closely held entities, therefore the Company has determined it should use Level 3 inputs.

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was valued using the binomial lattice model of which the significant assumptions were expected term and expected volatility. The binomial lattice model used a probablistic approach in which the Company assigned percentages to each scenario based on the chance of repayment. The percentages used were as follows: the non-repayment scenario was assigned a 25% probability and the repayment scenario was assigned a 75% probability.
