PROSPECTUS

ROCKDALE RESOURCES CORPORATION

2,000 Units

$5,000 per Unit

Rockdale Resources Corporation, is offering up to 2,000 Units to the public. Each Unit consists of 500 Microbonds, with each Microbond in the principal amount of $10, and 2,500 Series A warrants.

The Microbonds will bear interest at 12% per year, payable monthly, will mature on _____, 2017 and are convertible into shares of our common stock, initially at a conversion price of $2.00 per share. The Microbonds will be secured by any oil or gas wells drilled, completed or acquired with the proceeds from this offering.

Each Series A warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $2.00 per share at any time until their expiration on the fifth anniversary of the date of this prospectus. Under certain circumstances we may accelerate the expiration date of the warrants.

This offering is on a “best efforts”, basis and there are minimum number of units which are required to be sold in this offering. We will not pay any commissions or other form of remuneration in connection with the sale of the Units.

Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “BBLS”. On October 10, 2012 the closing price for our common stock was $1.33.  Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Microbonds or Series A warrants, although we anticipate that the Microbonds and Series A warrants will be quoted on the OTC QX after the date of this prospectus. As of October 10, 2012, an application to have the Microbonds and Series A warrants quoted on the OTC QX had not been filed with FINRA. There will not be any public market for the Units and the Units will not trade separately.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase our securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. We have not yet been profitable and have a history of losses. See ‘‘Risk Factors’ beginning on page ___ for matters you should consider before buying our securities.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. It does not contain all of the information you should consider before purchasing our units. Therefore, you should read the prospectus in its entirety, including the risk factors and the financial statements and related footnotes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. References to ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ ‘‘our,’’ ‘‘Rockdale’’ or ‘‘the company’’ generally refer to Rockdale Resources Corporation, a Colorado corporation.

We are an early-stage independent energy company engaged in the acquisition and development of leases in or near established oil-producing areas. We plan to build our cash flow and oil reserves through a focused acquisition and development program by:

·   initially focusing our operations in east Texas;

·   drilling in areas which have a high proportion of oil relative to natural gas; and

·   lessening risk by concentrating on established areas with proven production;

Although we have been in operation for a relatively short period of time, we have raised approximately $4,000,000 in capital as of the date of prospectus.

With the proceeds from this offering, we plan to drill, and if warranted, complete oil wells in the Minerva-Rockdale Field.

The wells will be drilled to sufficient depths to test the shallow Navarro B formation (approximate depth of 1,800 feet).  Each well will cost $210,000, and will take approximately seven days to drill and complete.  We will use Kingman Operating Company to supervise the drilling and completion operations.

The Minerva-Rockdale Field, which is located approximately 30 miles Northeast of Austin, was first discovered in 1921 and is approximately 50 square miles in size. The main producing formation for this field is the Upper Cretaceous Navarro Group of sands and shales. The Navarro is typically subdivided into several producing zones from the uppermost “A” and “B” sands to the lower “C” and “D” sands. The “B” sand is the primary producing zone. These sands are commonly fine grained and poorly sorted and were deposited close to a shoreline during a cycle of marine regression.

As of September 30, 2012 we had drilled and completed five oil wells, we were in the process of completing one well and we had identified drilling sites for forty additional wells on our lease in the Rockdale-Minerva Field;

We also plan to acquire additional leases in or adjacent to the Rockdale-Minerva Field or in other areas of East Texas. We believe that, based on past field production, geology, and our actual experience with the oil wells on our Rockdale-Minerva leases, there is an opportunity for the drilling of a number of additional oil wells on our leases.

We were incorporated in Colorado in 2002. Our executive offices are located at 11044 Research Blvd., Suite A-200, Austin, Texas 78759. Our telephone number is (512) 795-2300. We do not have a website.
 

See the ‘‘Glossary’’ section of this prospectus for the definition of terms pertaining to the oil industry which are used in this prospectus.

Use of proceeds The net proceeds from this offering, after deduction for the expenses of this offering, will be used to drill and complete oil wells, acquire of oil and gas leases, and for general and administrative expenses.

Risk factors Investing in our securities involves significant risks, including, but not limited to, the following: our limited operating history and history of losses; our lack of full-time management; our limited number of operating wells and lack of diversification; and price volatility in oil markets. You should carefully consider the information set forth in the ‘‘Risk Factors’’ section of this prospectus prior to investing in our securities.

(1)   An application has been made to have our Notes and Series A warrants quoted on the OTC QX. Based upon discussions with the staff of the OTC QX, we believe our Notes and Series A warrants will be approved for quotation shortly after the date of this Prospectus. When we are notified that our Notes and Series A warrants have been approved for quotation, we will also be notified as to the trading symbols that have been assigned to these securities. Once assigned, the trading symbols will be available on the OTC QX website (www.OTCQX.com). However, there is nevertheless the risk that our Notes and Series A warrants may not be quoted on the OTC QX or that the quotation of these securities may be delayed. See the risk factor on page __ of this prospectus entitled ‘‘There is no public market for our Microbonds or Series A warrants and an active market may not develop or be maintained, which could limit your ability to sell these securities.’’

See the section of this prospectus captioned “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” for more information.

Forward Looking Statements

This prospectus contains various forward-looking statements that are based on our belief as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to us.  When used in this prospectus, the words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements may include statements regarding and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which could cause actual results to differ materially from projections or estimates.  Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed at length under the heading “Risk Factors”.  Should one or more of the enumerated risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected.  Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, all of which speak only as of the date made.

RISK FACTORS

Investors should be aware that this offering involves certain risks, including those described below, which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.  We do not make, nor has it authorized any other person to make, any representation about the future market value of our common stock.  In addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, the following factors should be considered carefully in evaluating an investment in our common stock.

We are in the development stage and may never be profitable.

We have never earned a profit and we expect to incur losses during the foreseeable future and may never be profitable.  We will need to earn a profit or obtain additional financing until we are able to earn a profit. Our offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis.  There is no minimum number of Units which are required to be sold in this offering and all proceeds from the sold of the Units will be delivered to us.

           As a result of our short operating history it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business . There can be no assurance that we can implement our business plan, that we will be profitable, or that the securities which may be sold in this offering will have any value.

Our failure to obtain capital may significantly restrict our proposed operations.

We need additional capital to fund our operating losses and to commence business. If only a small number of Units are sold, the amount received from this offering may provide little benefit to us.  Even if all Units offered are sold, we may need additional capital.

We do not know what the terms of any future capital raising may be but any future sale of our equity securities would dilute the ownership of existing stockholders and could be at prices substantially lower than the value of common stock sold in this offering.  Our failure to obtain the capital which we require will result in the slower implementation of our business plan or our inability to implement our business plan.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any capital which we will need.

We may be unable to pay the Microbonds sold in this offering or the interest on the Microbonds.

As of the date of this prospectus we were operating at a loss. If all Units offered are sold, we will be required to make interest payments of $1,200,000 each year to the holders of our Microbonds. If our drilling program is not successful, we will be unable to make interest or principal payments on the Microbonds.

Oil and gas exploration is not an exact science, and involves a high degree of risk.

The primary risk of oil and gas exploration lies in the drilling of dry holes or drilling and completing wells which, though productive, do not produce gas and/or oil in sufficient amounts to return the amounts expended and produce a profit.  Hazards, such as unusual or unexpected formation pressures, down hole fires, blowouts, loss of circulation of drilling fluids and other conditions are involved in drilling and completing oil and gas wells and, if such hazards are encountered, completion of any well may be substantially delayed or prevented.  In addition, adverse weather conditions can hinder or delay operations, as can shortages of equipment and materials or unavailability of drilling, completion, and/or work-over rigs.  Even though a well is completed and is found to be productive, water and/or other substances may be encountered in the well, which may impair or prevent production or marketing of oil or gas from the well.

Exploratory drilling involves substantially greater economic risks than development drilling because the percentage of wells completed as producing wells is usually less than in development drilling.  Exploratory drilling itself can be of varying degrees of risk and can generally be divided into higher risk attempts to discover a reservoir in a completely unproven area or relatively lower risk efforts in areas not too distant from existing reservoirs.  While exploration adjacent to or near existing reservoirs may be more likely to result in the discovery of oil and gas than in completely unproven areas, exploratory efforts are nevertheless high risk activities.

Although the completion of oil and gas wells is, to a certain extent, less risky than drilling for oil and gas, the process of completing an oil or gas well is nevertheless associated with considerable risk.  In addition, even if a well is completed as a producer, the well for a variety of reasons may not produce sufficient oil or gas in order to repay our investment in the well.

5

The acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties, and the production and sale of oil and gas are subject to many factors which are outside our control.

These factors include, among others, general economic conditions, proximity to pipelines, oil import quotas, supply, demand, and price of other fuels and the regulation of production, refining, transportation, pricing, marketing and taxation by federal, state, and local governmental authorities.

Interests that we may acquire in oil and gas properties may be subject to royalty and overriding royalty interests, liens incident to operating agreements, liens for current taxes and other burdens and encumbrances, easements and other restrictions, any of which may subject us to future undetermined expenses.

We do not intend to purchase title insurance, title memos, or title certificates for any leasehold interests we will acquire.  It is possible that at some point we will have to undertake title work involving substantial costs.  In addition, it is possible that we may suffer title failures resulting in significant losses.

The drilling of oil and gas wells involves hazards such as blowouts, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures or other conditions which could result in substantial losses or liabilities to third parties.

Although we intend to acquire adequate insurance, or to be named as an insured under coverage acquired by others (e.g., the driller or operator), we may not be insured against all such losses because such insurance may not be available, premium costs may be deemed unduly high, or for other reasons.  Accordingly, uninsured liabilities to third parties could result in the loss of our funds or property.

Our operations will be affected from time to time and in varying degrees by political developments and federal and state laws and regulations regarding the development, production and sale of crude oil and natural gas.

Federal and state laws and regulations require permits for drilling of wells and also cover the spacing of wells, the prevention of waste, and other matters.  Rates of production of oil and gas have for many years been subject to federal and state conservation laws and regulations and the petroleum industry is subject to federal tax laws.  In addition, the production of oil or gas may be interrupted or terminated by governmental authorities due to ecological and other considerations.  Compliance with these regulations may require a significant capital commitment by and expense to us and may delay or otherwise adversely affect our proposed operations.

From time to time legislation has been proposed relating to various conservation and other measures designed to decrease dependence on foreign oil.  No prediction can be made as to what additional legislation may be proposed or enacted.  Oil and gas producers may face increasingly stringent regulation in the years ahead and a general hostility towards the oil and gas industry on the part of a portion of the public and of some public officials.  Future regulation will probably be determined by a number of economic and political factors beyond the control of the Company or the oil and gas industry.

Our activities will be subject to existing federal and state laws and regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control.

Compliance with environmental requirements and reclamation laws imposed by federal, state, and local governmental authorities may necessitate significant capital outlays and may materially affect our earnings, if any.  It is impossible to predict the impact of environmental legislation and regulations (including regulations restricting access and surface use) on our operations in the future although compliance may necessitate significant capital outlays, materially affect our earning power or cause material changes in our intended business.  In addition, we may be exposed to potential liability for pollution and other damages.

There is no public market for our Notes or Series A warrants and an active market may not develop or be maintained, which could limit your ability to sell these securities.

Although an application has been made to have our Notes and Series A warrants quoted on the OTC QX, and although we believe the Notes and Series A warrants will be approved for quotation shortly after the date of this prospectus, there is nevertheless the risk that the Notes and Series A warrants may not be quoted on the OTC QX or that the quotation of these securities may be delayed.

6

As of the date of this prospectus there was only a limited market for our common stock and, if a public market does not continue, investors in this offering, should they elect to convert their notes and/or exercise their warrants, may be unable to sell their shares.

If shareholders are unable to sell their shares, shareholders may never be able to recover any amounts which they paid for our securities.

In addition, the price of our common stock, included as a component of the Units, may be negatively impacted since there is no minimum number of Units which are required to be sold in this offering.

Because there is only a limited public market for our common stock, the price for the securities we are offering was arbitrarily established, does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value or net worth, and may be greater than the price which investors in this offering may receive when they resell their shares.

Accordingly, the offering price of our securities should not be considered to be any indication of the value of our securities.  The factors considered in determining the offering price included our future prospects and the likely trading future price for our common stock.

Disclosure requirements pertaining to penny stocks may reduce the level of trading activity in the market for our common stock and investors may find it difficult to sell their shares.

Trades of our common stock are subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which rule imposes certain requirements on broker/dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.  For transactions covered by the rule, brokers/dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to sale.  The Securities and Exchange Commission also has rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks".  Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system).  The penny stock rules require a broker/ dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.  The broker/dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.  The bid and offer quotations, and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation.

Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell shares of common stock and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares in the secondary market, as compliance with such rules may delay and/or preclude certain trading transactions.  The rules could also have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock.  Many brokers may be unwilling to engage in transactions in our common stock because of the added disclosure requirements, thereby making it more difficult for shareholders to dispose of their shares.  You may also find it difficult to obtain accurate information about, and/or quotations as to the price of our common stock.

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws could discourage acquisition proposals, delay a change in control or prevent other transactions.

Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of the Colorado Business Corporation Act, may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or other transactions that you as a shareholder may consider favorable and may be in your best interest.  Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that:

● authorize the issuance of shares of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by our board of directors to increase the number of outstanding shares and discourage a takeover attempt;

● limit who may call special meetings of shareholders; and

● require advance notice for business to be conducted at shareholder meetings.

7

Our directors have the authority to issue common and preferred shares without shareholder approval, and preferred shares can be issued with such rights, preferences, and limitations as may be determined by our board of directors.  The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of any holders of preferred stock that may be issued in the future.  We presently have no commitments or contracts to issue any shares of preferred stock.  Authorized and unissued preferred stock could delay, discourage, hinder or preclude an unsolicited acquisition of our company, could make it less likely that shareholders receive a premium for their shares as a result of any such attempt, and could adversely affect the market prices of, and the voting and other rights, of the holders of outstanding shares of our common stock.

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  Prospective investors should not purchase these securities with any view toward the receipt of dividends.

Your ownership could be diluted by future issuances of our stock, options, warrants or other securities.

           Your ownership in our company may be diluted by future issuances of capital stock or the exercise of outstanding or to be issued options, warrants or convertible notes to purchase capital stock.  In particular, we may sell securities in the future in order to finance operations, expansions or particular projects or expenditures without obtaining the approval of the holders of our common stock.

DILUTION AND COMPARATIVE SHARE DATA

Upon any conversion of the Microbonds, the  interest of the holder of the Microbond will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the conversion price of the Microbonds (assumed to be $2.00 for purposes of the tables below) and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock upon the completion of this offering.

The following table illustrates the dilution to investors in this offering, as well as their percentage ownership of our common stock. For purposes of the dilution calculations it was assumed that all Units offered by means of this prospectus are sold and all Microbonds sold are converted into shares of our common stock. If less than all Units offered are sold, the dilution to investors in this offering will be greater and their percentage ownership will be less than that shown in the table.

Each Series A warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $2.00 per share at any time until their expiration on the fifth anniversary of the date of this prospectus.

We may sell additional shares of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants, convertible notes or other securities to raise additional capital.  We do not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to purchase any of our securities and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in selling any additional securities.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

We were incorporated in Colorado in January 2002.

We planned to sell custom framed artwork, art accessories, and interior design consulting. However, we generated only limited revenue since inception and have been inactive since 2008.

In February 2012 we decided it would be in the best interests of our shareholders to no longer pursue our original business plan and, instead, to become active in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties.

Results of Operations

During the year ended December 31, 2011:

·   Legal and Accounting expenses increased from the prior period as we changed auditors in late 2010. Our new auditors charged more than our previous auditor for reviewing our 10-Q reports and auditing our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010; and

·   General and Administrative expenses increased from the prior period due to the costs associated with adding Interactive Data Files to our website and 1934 Act reports.

10

During the six months ended June 30, 2012:

·   Bad debt expense resulted from the write-off of a receivable that we determined was no longer collectible,

·   General and Administrative expenses increased as a result of our transition to an oil and gas company,

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2011:

·   our operations used cash of $16,674, and

·   we repaid $1,700, net of new advances received, to related parties.

In April 2012 we sold 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to a group of private investors for $51,250.

In April 2012 we sold 8,367,850 shares of our common stock to a group of private investors for $173,902.

Between April 1, 2012 and August 31, 2012 we sold 5,781,798 shares of our common stock, at a price of $0.70 per share, to a group of private investors.

Our sources and (uses) of funds for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were:

The amounts which we plan to spend during the twelve month period following the date of this prospectus will depend on the amount we are able to raise in this offering. See “Use of Proceeds” for further information.

See the “Business” section of this prospectus for more detailed information concerning our plan of operation.

   We plan to generate profits by drilling productive oil or gas wells.  However, we will need to raise the funds required to drill new wells through the sale of our securities, from loans from third parties or from third parties willing to pay our share of drilling and completing the wells.  We do not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide us with any additional capital.  If additional financing is not available when needed, we may need to cease operations.  We may not be successful in raising the capital needed to drill oil or gas wells.  Any wells which we may drill may not be productive of oil or gas.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonable likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

Trends Affecting Future Operations

The factors that will most significantly affect our results of operations will be (i) the sale prices of crude oil and natural gas, (ii) the amount of production from oil or gas wells in which we have an interest, and (iii) lease operating expenses.  Our revenues will also be significantly impacted by our ability to maintain or increase oil or gas production through exploration and development activities.

It is expected that our principal source of cash flow will be from the production and sale of crude oil and natural gas reserves which are depleting assets.  Cash flow from the sale of oil and gas production depends upon the quantity of production and the price obtained for the production.  An increase in prices will permit us to finance our operations to a greater extent with internally generated funds, may allow us to obtain equity financing more easily or on better terms, and lessens the difficulty of obtaining financing. However, price increases heighten the competition for oil and gas prospects, increase the costs of exploration and development, and, because of potential price declines, increase the risks associated with the purchase of producing properties during times that prices are at higher levels.

A decline in oil and gas prices (i) will reduce the cash flow internally generated by the Company which in turn will reduce the funds available for exploring for and replacing oil and gas reserves, (ii) will increase the difficulty of obtaining equity and debt financing and worsen the terms on which such financing may be obtained, (iii) will reduce the number of oil and gas prospects which have reasonable economic terms, (iv) may cause us to permit leases to expire based upon the value of potential oil and gas reserves in relation to the costs of exploration, (v) may result in marginally productive oil and gas wells being abandoned as non-commercial, and (vi) may increase the difficulty of obtaining financing.  However, price declines reduce the competition for oil and gas properties and correspondingly reduce the prices paid for leases and prospects.

Other than the foregoing, we do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that will have, or are reasonably expected to have, a material impact on our sales, revenues or expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 to the financial statements included as part of this prospectus for the year ended December 31, 2011 for a description of our critical accounting policies and the potential impact of the adoption of any new accounting pronouncements.

BUSINESS

Background

We were incorporated in Colorado in January 2002.

We planned to sell custom framed artwork, art accessories, and interior design consulting. However, we generated only limited revenue since inception and have been inactive since 2008.

In February 2012 we decided it would be in the best interests of our shareholders to no longer pursue our original business plan and, instead, to become active in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties. In furtherance of our business plan, the following took place:

·   Shareholders, including our former officers and directors, sold  9,173,500 shares of our common stock to us for $9,126.

·   In April 2012 we sold 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to a group of private investors for $51,250.

·   In April 2012 we sold 8,367,850 shares of our common stock to our officers, directors and private investors for $173,902.

12

·   We changed our name to Rockdale Resources Corporation.

·   Between April 1, 2012 and August 31, 2012 we sold 5,781,798 shares of our common stock, at a price of $0.70 per share, to a group of private investors.

Plan of Operation

We plan to evaluate undeveloped oil and gas prospects and participate in drilling activities on those prospects which, in the opinion of management, are favorable for the production of oil or gas.  If, through our review, a geographical area indicates geological and economic potential, we will attempt to acquire leases or other interests in the area.  We may then attempt to sell portions of our leasehold interests in a prospect to third parties, thus sharing the risks and rewards of the exploration and development of the prospect with the other owners.  One or more wells may be drilled on a prospect, and if the results indicate the presence of sufficient oil and gas reserves, additional wells may be drilled on the prospect.

Our strategy is to acquire other similar prospects in or adjacent to existing fields with further development potential and minimum risk in the same area.

We may also:

·   acquire a working interest in one or more prospects from others and participate with the other working interest owners in drilling, and if warranted, completing oil or gas wells on a prospect, or

·   purchase producing oil or gas properties.

Our activities will primarily be dependent upon available financing.

Title to properties which we may acquire will be subject to royalty, overriding royalty, carried, net profits, working and other similar interests and contractual arrangements customary in the oil and gas industry, to liens for current taxes not yet due and to other encumbrances.  As is customary in the industry, in the case of undeveloped properties little investigation of record title will be made at the time of acquisition (other than a preliminary review of local records).  However, drilling title opinions may be obtained before commencement of drilling operations.

With the proceeds from this offering, and assuming all Units offered are sold we plan to drill, and if warranted, complete, up to 35 oil wells in the Minerva-Rockdale Field.

Minerva-Rockdale Field

The Minerva-Rockdale Field, which is located approximately 30 miles Northeast of Austin, was first discovered in 1921 and is approximately 50 square miles in size. The main producing formation for this field is the Upper Cretaceous Navarro Group of sands and shales. The Navarro is typically subdivided into several producing zones from the uppermost “A” and “B” sands to the lower “C” and “D” sands. The “B” sand is the primary producing zone. These sands are commonly fine grained and poorly sorted and were deposited close to a shoreline during a cycle of marine regression.

In April 2012 we entered into an agreement with Kingman Operating Company, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement:

·   we paid Kingman $475,000 for the assignment of a 100% working interest (75% net revenue interest) in an oil and gas lease covering 200 acres in the Minerva-Rockdale field.

·   we paid Kingman $1,375,000 to drill and complete our first five wells.

·   we paid Kingman $150,000 to drill and complete our sixth well. We are in the process of completing this well.

·   we will pay Kingman $210,000 to drill and complete any additional wells on the 200 acre lease.

·   at any time on or before November 1, 2012 we have the right to acquire a 100% working interest (75% net revenue interest) in a lease covering 300 acres, which lease is immediately adjacent to the 200 acre lease referred to above.  The cost of this lease will be $1,200,000.  If we acquire this lease, we will pay Kingman $210,000 to drill and complete any wells which we choose to drill on the lease.

13

The wells will be drilled to sufficient depths to test the shallow Navarro B formation (approximate depth of 1,800 feet).  Each well will take approximately seven days to drill and complete.  Kingman will be the operator for the lease and will be paid $400 per month for each well we drill and complete.

The Minera-Rockdale field consists of 50 square miles of land.  The first well in the Minerva-Rockdale field came on producing 7 bbls/day in 1921.  As of September 30, 2012 there were over 14,000 wells drilled and the field has produced 8.5 million bbls of oil. The oil is light, paraffin base, and has a API gravity around 40 degrees. Water production in the “B” sands is very low.

If, in our sole discretion, the estimated future production from wells drilled on the leases in the Rockdale Field does not warrant further drilling, we plan to drill wells in other areas.

Michael D. Smith, one of our officers and directors, is an officer and director of Kingman Energy, LLC. Kingman Operating Company, Inc.  is controlled by Kingman Energy.

As of September 30, 2012 we had drilled and completed our first five oil wells.  As of September 30, 2012 these five wells were collectively producing 15 to 20 bbls of oil and 40 bbls of water per day.  We have identified drilling sites for forty additional wells on our lease in the Rockdale-Minerva Field.

During the period from our inception to December 31, 2011, we did not drill any oil or gas wells. As of December 31, 2011, we did not have any proven oil or gas reserves.

The following table shows, as of September 30, 2012, our producing wells, developed acreage, and undeveloped acreage, excluding service (injection and disposal) wells:

(1) Undeveloped acreage includes leasehold interests on which wells have not been drilled or completed to the point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of natural gas and oil regardless of whether the leasehold interest is classified as containing proved undeveloped reserves.

The following table shows, as of September 30, 2012, the status of our gross acreage:

State	Held by Production		Not Held by Production
Texas		200		--

Acres that are Held by Production remain in force so long as oil or gas is produced from one or more wells on the particular lease.  Leased acres that are not Held By Production require annual rental payments to maintain the lease until the first to occur of the following: the expiration of the lease or the time oil or gas is produced from one or more wells drilled on the leased acreage.  At the time oil or gas is produced from wells drilled on the leased acreage, the lease is considered to be Held by Production.

Government Regulation

           Various state and federal agencies regulate the production and sale of oil and natural gas.  All states in which we plan to operate impose restrictions on the drilling, production, transportation and sale of oil and natural gas.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the “FERC”) regulates the interstate transportation and the sale in interstate commerce for resale of natural gas.  The FERC’s jurisdiction over interstate natural gas sales has been substantially modified by the Natural Gas Policy Act under which the FERC continued to regulate the maximum selling prices of certain categories of gas sold in "first sales" in interstate and intrastate commerce.

14

FERC has pursued policy initiatives that have affected natural gas marketing.  Most notable are (1) the large-scale divestiture of interstate pipeline-owned gas gathering facilities to affiliated or non-affiliated companies; (2) further development of rules governing the relationship of the pipelines with their marketing affiliates; (3) the publication of standards relating to the use of electronic bulletin boards and electronic data exchange by the pipelines to make available transaction information on a timely basis and to enable transactions to occur on a purely electronic basis; (4) further review of the role of the secondary market for released pipeline capacity and its relationship to open access service in the primary market; and (5) development of policy and promulgation of orders pertaining to its authorization of market-based rates (rather than traditional cost-of-service based rates) for transportation or transportation-related services upon the pipeline's demonstration of lack of market control in the relevant service market.  We do not know what effect the FERC’s other activities will have on the access to markets, the fostering of competition and the cost of doing business.

Our sale of oil and natural gas liquids will not be regulated and will be at market prices. The price received from the sale of these products will be affected by the cost of transporting the products to market.  Much of that transportation is through interstate common carrier pipelines.

           Federal, state, and local agencies have promulgated extensive rules and regulations applicable to the our oil and natural gas exploration, production and related operations.  Most states require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and the filing of reports concerning operations and impose other requirements relating to the exploration of oil and natural gas.  Many states also have statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and natural gas wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells.  The statutes and regulations of some states limit the rate at which oil and natural gas is produced from our properties.  The federal and state regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases our cost of doing business and affects our profitability.  Because these rules and regulations are amended or reinterpreted frequently, we are unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with those laws.

Competition and Marketing

           We will be faced with strong competition from many other companies and individuals engaged in the oil and gas business, many are very large, well established energy companies with substantial capabilities and established earnings records.  We will be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring oil and gas prospects since we must compete with these individuals and companies, many of which have greater financial resources and larger technical staffs.  It is nearly impossible to estimate the number of competitors; however, it is known that there are a large number of companies and individuals in the oil and gas business.

Exploration for and production of oil and gas are affected by the availability of pipe, casing and other tubular goods and certain other oil field equipment including drilling rigs and tools.  We will depend upon independent drilling contractors to furnish rigs, equipment and tools to drill our wells.  Higher prices for oil and gas may result in competition among operators for drilling equipment, tubular goods and drilling crews which may affect our ability expeditiously to drill, complete, recomplete and work-over wells.

The market for oil and gas is dependent upon a number of factors beyond our control, which at times cannot be accurately predicted.  These factors include the proximity of wells to, and the capacity of, natural gas pipelines, the extent of competitive domestic production and imports of oil and gas, the availability of other sources of energy, fluctuations in seasonal supply and demand, and governmental regulation. In addition, there is always the possibility that new legislation may be enacted which would impose price controls or additional excise taxes upon crude oil or natural gas, or both.  Oversupplies of natural gas can be expected to recur from time to time and may result in the gas producing wells being shut-in.  Imports of natural gas may adversely affect the market for domestic natural gas.

The market price for crude oil is significantly affected by policies adopted by the member nations of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC").  Members of OPEC establish prices and production quotas among themselves for petroleum products from time to time with the intent of controlling the current global supply and consequently price levels.  We are unable to predict the effect, if any, that OPEC or other countries will have on the amount of, or the prices received for, crude oil and natural gas.

15

Gas prices, which were once effectively determined by government regulations, are now largely influenced by competition.  Competitors in this market include producers, gas pipelines and their affiliated marketing companies, independent marketers, and providers of alternate energy supplies, such as residual fuel oil.  Changes in government regulations relating to the production, transportation and marketing of natural gas have also resulted in significant changes in the historical marketing patterns of the industry.  Generally, these changes have resulted in the abandonment by many pipelines of long-term contracts for the purchase of natural gas, the development by gas producers of their own marketing programs to take advantage of new regulations requiring pipelines to transport gas for regulated fees, and an increasing tendency to rely on short-term contracts priced at spot market prices.

Subsequent to April 2012 Mr. Barton transferred 1,026,143 shares to unrelated third parties.

Oil and gas drilling ventures inevitably involve areas of activity in which conflicts of interest arise. As explained in the “Business’ section of this prospectus, we have an agreement with Kingman Operating Company which pertains to drilling, completing and operating wells on our behalf.

Michael D. Smith, one of our officers and directors, is an officer and director of Kingman Energy, LLC. Kingman Operating Company is controlled by Kingman Energy.  Accordingly, the price we will pay for the oil and gas lease, and the price will pay for drilling and completing wells, may not be the result of arm’s length negotiations and may be higher than that which we could have obtained from unrelated third parties.

Although Kingman will not pay any of the costs required to drill, and if warranted, complete any wells which will be drilled with the proceeds from this prospectus, we will convey to Kingman a 10% working interest in the lease when we have recovered, from the net proceeds of the sale of any oil or gas produced from any wells drilled or completed on the lease, an amount equal to the cost of drilling, testing, completing, equipping and operating any wells on the lease. As a result, Kingman will have a conflict of interest in electing to complete wells since Kingman will have no financial risk if a well does not produce gas in commercial quantities.

Affiliates of Kingman own, or may acquire, leases which are adjacent to the leases we have acquired, or may acquire. Any wells which are completed as commercial wells could improve the value of the acreage held by these affiliates. In such an event, the affiliates would benefit in the increased value of their leasehold interests without bearing the expense or risk of drilling a well.

We have an agreement with Energy Capital Partners, LLC which provides that we will pay Energy Capital $18,000 a month for consulting with us concerning capital formation. In addition to providing consulting services, Energy Capital provides us, free of charge, with office space in Denver, Colorado. The consulting agreement expires on April 30, 2013. Energy Capital is controlled by John Barton.

We have an agreement which provides that we will pay a consultant $10,000 a month for consulting with us concerning capital formation. The consulting agreement expires on April 13, 2013.

We had an agreement with a consultant which provided us with investor relations services.  During the term of this agreement, which ended on October 23, 2012, we paid the consultant $20,000 in cash and we issued 30,000 shares of our restricted common stock to the consultant.

We have an agreement with a consultant which advises us in the area of capital formation.  During the twelve month term of this agreement, which expires on April 30, 2013, we have agreed to pay the consultant a fee of $10,000 per month.

With the exception of Energy Capital Partners, none of the consultants mentioned above are affiliated with us.

By means of this prospectus we are offering Units at a price of $5,000 per unit. Each unit consists of 500 Microbonds, with each Microbond in the principal amount of $10, and 2,500 Series A warrants.

Microbonds

           The Microbonds we are offering by means of this Prospectus will be in the principal amount of $10, will bear interest at 12% per year, payable monthly, will mature in 2017, and will be convertible into shares of our common stock, initially at a conversion price of $2.00 per share.  The Conversion Price will be proportionately adjusted in the event of any stock split or capital reorganization.

However, at our option, and upon twenty days prior written notice given at any time one year after the date of this prospectus, we may prepay any outstanding Microbonds, if:

·   our common stock has closed at a price which is at least twice the then applicable conversion price for at least ten consecutive trading days; and

·   the average trading volume in our common stock has been at least 30,000 shares during the ten trading days.

In addition, at our option, and upon twenty days prior written notice, we may prepay any outstanding Microbonds if:

·   at least 50% of our outstanding shares are acquired in a merger, share-for-share exchange, or similar transaction, and

·   the amount received for one share of our common stock in the transaction, either in cash, fair value of securities or property, or any combination of cash, securities or property, is at least twice the then applicable conversion price.

The Microbonds will be secured by a first lien by any wells we drill and complete or acquire with the proceeds from this offering and will be secured by a second lien on all our other assets. The second lien will be subordinate to any borrowings, not to exceed $5,000,000, from a bank or similar financial institution.

           Any of the following are an event of default:

·   We fail to make any interest or principal payment when due;

·   We breach any representation, warranty or covenant or defaults in the timely performance of any other obligation in our agreements with the holders of the Microbonds and the breach or default continues uncured for a period of fifteen business days after the date on which notice of the breach or default is first given to us, or ten trading days after we become, or should have become, aware of such breach or default; and

·   We file for protection from our creditors under the federal bankruptcy code, or a third party files an involuntary bankruptcy petition against us.

20

If an event of default occurs, the Microbonds will become immediately due and payable and the interest rate will increase to 18% on the outstanding principal.
 

Series A Warrants

Each Series A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $2.00 per share.  The Series A Warrants will expire five years from the date of this prospectus.

However, at our option, and upon twenty days prior written notice, we may accelerate the expiration date of the Series A warrants if:

·   our common stock has closed at a price which is at least twice the then applicable warrant exercise price for at least twenty consecutive trading days;

·   the average trading volume in our common stock has been at least 30,000 shares during the ten trading days; and

·   we have a current and effective registration statement available covering the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants.

Other provisions of the Warrants are set forth below.  This information is subject to the provisions of the Warrant Certificate representing the Warrants.

1.         Unless exercised within the time provided for exercise, the Warrants will automatically expire.

2.         The exercise price of the Warrants may not be increased during the term of the Warrants, but the exercise price may be decreased at the discretion of our directors by giving each Warrant holder notice of such decrease.  The expiration date of the Warrants may be extended by our directors giving notice of such extension to each Warrant holder of record.

3.         There is no minimum number of shares which must be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants.

4.         The holders of the Warrants in certain instances are protected against dilution of their interests represented by the underlying shares of common stock upon the occurrence of stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, and mergers.

5.         The holders of the Warrants have no voting power and are not entitled to dividends.  In the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, holders of the Warrants will not be entitled to participate in the distribution of our assets.

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock.  Holders of common stock are each entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters presented to shareholders.  Cumulative voting is not allowed; hence, the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock can elect all directors.

Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of the Company’s assets after payment of liabilities.  The board is not obligated to declare a dividend.  It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional shares if issued by the Company.  There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock.  All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as may be determined by our Board of Directors.  The voting powers and preferences, the relative rights of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of each series will be established by the Board of Directors.  Our directors may issue preferred stock with multiple votes per share and dividend rights which would have priority over any dividends paid with respect to the holders of our Common Stock.  The issuance of preferred stock with these rights may make the removal of management difficult even if the removal would be considered beneficial to shareholders generally, and will have the effect of limiting shareholder participation in transactions such as mergers or tender offers if these transactions are not favored by our management.  As of the date of this Memorandum offering memorandum we had not issued any shares of preferred stock.

21

INDEMNIFICATION

Our Bylaws authorize indemnification of a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company against expenses incurred by him in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding to which he is named a party by reason of his having acted or served in such capacity, except for liabilities arising from his own misconduct or negligence in performance of his duty.  In addition, even a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company’ who was found liable for misconduct or negligence in the performance of his duty may obtain such indemnification if, in view of all the circumstances in the case, a court of competent jurisdiction determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the Company’ pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

22

GLOSSARY OF OIL AND GAS TERMS

           DEVELOPED ACREAGE. The number of acres that are allocated or assignable to productive wells or wells capable of production.

           DISPOSAL WELL. A well employed for the reinjection of salt water produced with oil into an underground formation.

           HELD BY PRODUCTION. A provision in an oil, gas and mineral lease that perpetuates an entity's right to operate a property or concession as long as the property or concession produces a minimum paying quantity of oil or gas.

           INJECTION WELL. A well employed for the injection into an underground formation of water, gas or other fluid to maintain underground pressures which would otherwise be reduced by the production of oil or gas.

           LANDOWNER'S ROYALTY. A percentage share of production, or the value derived from production, which is granted to the lessor or landowner in the oil and gas lease, and which is free of the costs of drilling, completing, and operating an oil or gas well.

           LEASE. Full or partial interests in an oil and gas lease, authorizing the owner thereof to drill for, reduce to possession and produce oil and gas upon payment of rentals, bonuses and/or royalties. Oil and gas leases are generally acquired from private landowners and federal and state governments. The term of an oil and gas lease typically ranges from three to ten years and requires annual lease rental payments of $1.00 to $2.00 per acre. If a producing oil or gas well is drilled on the lease prior to the expiration of the lease, the lease will generally remain in effect until the oil or gas production from the well ends. The owner of the lease is required to pay the owner of the leased property a royalty which is usually between 12.5% and 16.6% of the gross amount received from the sale of the oil or gas produced from the well.

           LEASE OPERATING EXPENSES. The expenses of producing oil or gas from a formation, consisting of the costs incurred to operate and maintain wells and related equipment and facilities, including labor costs, repair and maintenance, supplies, insurance, production, severance and other production excise taxes.

           NET ACRES OR WELLS. A net well or acre is deemed to exist when the sum of fractional ownership working interests in gross wells or acres equals one. The number of net wells or acres is the sum of the fractional working interests owned in gross wells or acres expressed as whole numbers and fractions.

           NET REVENUE INTEREST. A percentage share of production, or the value derived from production, from an oil or gas well and which is free of the costs of drilling, completing and operating the well.

           OVERRIDING ROYALTY. A percentage share of production, or the value derived from production, which is free of all costs of drilling, completing and operating an oil or gas well, and is created by the lessee or working interest owner and paid by the lessee or working interest owner to the owner of the overriding royalty.

           PRODUCING PROPERTY. A property (or interest therein) producing oil or gas in commercial quantities or that is shut-in but capable of producing oil or gas in commercial quantities. Interests in a property may include working interests, production payments, royalty interests and other non-working interests.

           PROSPECT. An area in which a party owns or intends to acquire one or more oil and gas interests, which is geographically defined on the basis of geological data and which is reasonably anticipated to contain at least one reservoir of oil, gas or other hydrocarbons.

           PROVED RESERVES. Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions (prices and costs held constant as of the date the estimate is made).

           SHUT-IN WELL. A well which is capable of producing oil or gas but which is temporarily not producing due to mechanical problems or a lack of market for the well's oil or gas.

23

           UNDEVELOPED ACREAGE. Lease acres on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil and gas regardless of whether or not such acreage contains proved reserves.

           WORKING INTEREST. A percentage of ownership in an oil and gas lease granting its owner the right to explore, drill and produce oil and gas from a tract of property. Working interest owners are obligated to pay a corresponding percentage of the cost of leasing, drilling, producing and operating a well. After royalties are paid, the working interest also entitles its owner to share in production revenues with other working interest owners, based on the percentage of the working interest owned.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of

Art Design, Inc.

Englewood. CO

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Art Design, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of expenses, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated revenue and has a working capital deficit. These conditions raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ART DESIGN, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2011 and 2010

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Art Design, Inc. (“we”, “our” or the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Colorado on January 16, 2002. The Company sells art work and interior decorating to professional and business offices.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under straight line methods over each item's estimated useful life.

Income tax

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, ASC 740 - “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). This standard requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting for and reporting of income taxes. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

Net income (loss) per share

The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and other dilutive instruments are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no potentially dilutive instruments outstanding.

ART DESIGN, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2011 and 2010

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, and related party notes payable. Management believes that the recorded values of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company reviews the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. If impairment testing indicates a lack of recoverability, an impairment loss is recognized by the Company if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements through the filing date and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company.

NOTE 2.            GOING CONCERN

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a large working capital deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through offerings of debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2011 and 2010

NOTE 3.            RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has a note payable to a Company officer. The note is unsecured and payable upon demand. The note bears interest at 8% per annum if not paid promptly upon demand. The outstanding principal balance on the note was $34,201 at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

The Company has a note payable to a Company officer. The note is unsecured and payable upon demand. The note bears interest at 8% per annum . The outstanding principal balance on the note was $8,100 and $0 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, company had accrued interest of $72, the interest has only been accrued for the money borrowed during the current period starting October 1, 2011.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the company lent $9,800 to a company affiliated through common control. The receivable balance was $24,800 at December 31, 2011. The loan does not bear interest and is payable upon demand.

NOTE 4.            SHORT TERM DEBT

In September 2011, a promissory note was issued in exchange for legal fees due in the amount of $3,250. The note amount bears an 8% interest rate, payable on demand and had accrued interest of $65 as of December 31, 2011.

NOTE 5.            INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes arise from the temporary differences between financial statement and income tax recognition of net operating losses. These loss carryovers are limited under the Internal Revenue Code should a significant change in ownership occur.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, after the spinoff of its subsidiary the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of $136,600 and $106,000 respectively, which begin to expire in 2026. The deferred tax asset of $46,400 and $36,000 respectively created by the net operating loss has been offset by a 100% valuation allowance. The change in the valuation allowance in 2011 and 2010 was $10,400 and $5,000 respectively.

The Company’s income tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. The Company’s open audit periods are 2008, 2009, and 2010, although, the statute of limitations for the 2008 tax year will expire effective March 15, 2011. In evaluating the Company’s provisions and accruals, future taxable income, and reversal of temporary differences, interpretations and tax planning strategies are considered. The Company believes its estimates are appropriate based on current facts and circumstances.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012

 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Art Design, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Colorado on January 16, 2002.  In April 2012 the Company discontinued its prior operations and became involved in the exploration and development of oil and gas. On May 4th 2012, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Rockdale Resources Corporation (the “Company”).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America 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 the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 which are included as part of this prospectus. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the  year ended December 31, 2011  have been omitted.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements through the filing date and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through offerings of debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company, as a lessee of oil and gas properties, is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to discharge of materials into, and protection of, the environment.

There can be no assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change, or past noncompliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on the Company’s properties.

Item 17.    Undertakings

        The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

        (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

          (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section l0 (a)(3) of the Securities Act:

         (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

        (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

        (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

  (4)   That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

          (i)    

        (A)  For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

        (B)  For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (ii)  For purposes of Rule 430B:

        (A)  Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

        (B)  Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

        (iii)  If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

        (5)   That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

        The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

          (i)  Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

         (ii)  Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

        (iii)  The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

        (iv)  Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of l933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SIGNATURES

        Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of l933, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Austin, Texas on the 24th day of October, 2012.

CUSIP ____________

ROCKDALE RESOURCES CORPORATION.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT

or registered assigns, is the registered holder of the number of Series A Warrants (“Warrants”) set forth above. Each Series A Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase from Rockdale Resources Corporation, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado (the “Company”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth hereinafter and in the Warrant Agreement between the Company and Corporate Stock Transfer dated ___________, 2012 (the “Warrant Agreement”), at any time on or after _______________, 20__ and before the close of business on _______________, 20__ (“Expiration Date”), one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stockof the Company (“Common Stock”) upon presentation and surrender of this Warrant Certificate, with the instructions for the registration and delivery of Common Stock filled in, at the stock transfer office located in Denver, Colorado of Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., Warrant Agent of the Company (“Warrant Agent”) or of its successor warrant agent or, if there be no successor warrant agent, at the corporate offices of the Company, and upon payment of the Exercise Price of $2.00 (as may be adjusted the Warrant Agreement) and any applicable taxes paid either in cash, or by certified or official bank check, payable in lawful money of the United States of America to the order of the Company. Each Warrant initially entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock. The number and kind of securities or other property for which the Warrants are exercisable are subject to adjustment in certain events, such as mergers, stock splits, and stock dividends, to prevent dilution. The Company may, in its sole discretion, (i) extend the Expiration Date by providing not less than 10 days' prior notice, or (ii) lower the Exercise Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date. All Warrants will expire on the Expiration Date.

At the Company’s option, and upon twenty days prior written notice, the Company may accelerate the expiration date of the Warrants if:

·   the Company’s common stock has closed at a price which is at least twice the then applicable Exercise Price for at least twenty consecutive trading days;

·   the average trading volume in the Company’s common stock has been at least 30,000 shares during the twenty consecutive trading days; and

·   the Company has a current and effective registration statement available covering the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

This Warrant Certificate is subject to all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms, provisions and conditions the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate consents by acceptance hereof. The Warrant Agreement is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof and reference is made to the Warrant Agreement for a full description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders of the Warrant Certificates. Copies of the Warrant Agreement are available for inspection at the stock transfer office of the Warrant Agent or may be obtained upon written request addressed to the Company at Rockdale Resources Corporation, 11044 Research Blvd., Suite A-200,Austin, Texas  78759, Attention: Chief Executive Officer.

In certain cases, the sale of securities by the Company upon exercise of Warrants may violate the securities laws of the United States, certain states thereof or other jurisdictions. The Company has agreed to use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause a registration statement to continue to be effective during the term of the Warrants with respect to such sales under the Securities Act of 1933, and to take such action under the laws of various states as may be required to cause the sale of securities upon exercise to be lawful. However, the Company will not be required to honor the exercise of Warrants if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, upon advice of counsel, the sale of securities upon such exercise would be unlawful.

No holder of this Warrant Certificate, as such, shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall anything contained in the Warrant Agreement or herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.

This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent.

WITNESS the facsimile signatures of the proper officers of the Company and its corporate seal.

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to retain the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the issuance, transfer, exchange and replacement of the certificates evidencing the Series A Warrants to be issued under this Agreement (each a "Warrant Certificate," collectively, the “Warrant Certificates”) and the exercise of the Series A Warrants.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Warrant Agent wish to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions of the Series A Warrants and the rights of the holders thereof (each a "Warrant Holder," collectively, the “Warrant Holders”) and to set forth the respective rights and obligations of the Company and the Warrant Agent.  Each Warrant Holder is an intended beneficiary of this Agreement with respect to the rights of Warrant Holders herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

2. Exercise Period.  The Series A Warrants may be exercised at any time on or before 5:00 p.m., Mountain Time on _____, 2017 (“Expiration Date”).  After the Expiration Date, any unexercised Series A Warrants will be void and all rights of Warrant Holders shall cease; provided, however, the Company may, in its sole discretion, extend the Exercise Period and delay the Expiration Date by providing not less than 10 days' prior notice, which may be in the form of a press release, of such extension.

3. Execution of Warrant Certificates.  Warrant Certificates shall be in registered form only and shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A attached to this Agreement.  Warrant Certificates shall be signed by, or shall bear the facsimile signature of, the Chief Executive Officer, President or a Vice President of the Company and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company.  If any person, whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Warrant Certificate or the signature of an officer of the Company, shall have ceased to be such officer before such Warrant Certificate is countersigned, issued and delivered, such Warrant Certificate shall be countersigned, issued and delivered with the same effect as if such person had not ceased to be such officer.  Any Warrant Certificate may be signed by, or made to bear the facsimile signature of, any person who at the actual date of the preparation of such Warrant Certificate shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Warrant Certificate even though such person was not such an officer upon the date of the Agreement.

4. Countersigning.  Warrant Certificates shall be manually countersigned by the Warrant Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned.  The Warrant Agent hereby is authorized to countersign and deliver to, or in accordance with the instructions of, any Warrant Holder any Warrant Certificate which is properly issued.

5. Registration of Transfer and Exchanges.  The Warrant Agent shall from time to time register the transfer of any outstanding Warrant Certificate upon records maintained by the Warrant Agent for such purpose upon surrender of such Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent for transfer, accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent and duly executed by the Warrant Holder or a duly authorized attorney.  Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Warrant Certificate shall be issued in the name of and to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be cancelled.

6. Exercise of Warrants.

(a) Subject to the terms of the Series A Warrants, any Series A Warrant may be exercised upon any single occasion during the exercise period.  The Series A Warrants shall be exercised by the Warrant Holder by surrendering to the Warrant Agent the Warrant Certificate with the exercise form on the reverse of such Warrant Certificate duly completed and executed and delivering to the Warrant Agent (or by providing such other notice of exercise made available by the Company), by good check or bank draft payable to the order of the Warrant Agent, the Exercise Price for each Share to be purchased.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will extend a three day "protect" period after the Expiration Date so that any Series A Warrant for which notice of exercise is received in the three business days prior to and including the Expiration Date shall be deemed exercised so long as the Exercise Price is received by the Warrant Agent no more than three business days after the notice of exercise.

(b) Upon receipt of a Warrant Certificate with the exercise form thereon duly executed together with payment in full of the Exercise Price for the Shares for which Series A Warrants are then being exercised, the Warrant Agent shall requisition from any transfer agent for the Shares, and upon receipt shall make delivery of, certificates evidencing the total number of whole Shares for which Series A Warrants are then being exercised in such names and denominations as are required for delivery to, or in accordance with the instructions of, the Warrant Holder.  Such certificates for the Shares shall be deemed to be issued, and the person whom such Shares are issued of record shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Shares, as of the date of the surrender of such Warrant Certificate and payment of the Exercise Price, whichever shall last occur; provided that if the transfer books of the Company with respect to the Shares, shall be closed, the certificates for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants shall be issued as of the date on which such books shall next be open, and the person to whom such Shares are issued of record shall be deemed to have become a record holder of such Shares as of the date on which such books shall next be open (whether before, on or after the Expiration Date) and until such date the Warrant Agent shall be under no duty to deliver any certificate for such Shares.

2

(c) If less than all of a Warrant Holder’s Series A Warrants are exercised upon a single occasion, a new Warrant Certificate for the balance of the Series A Warrants not so exercised shall be issued and delivered to, or in accordance with, transfer instructions properly given by the Warrant Holder until the Expiration Date.

(d) All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise shall be cancelled.

(e) Upon the exercise of any Series A Warrant, the Warrant Agent shall promptly deposit the payment into an escrow account established by mutual agreement of the Company and the Warrant Agent at a federally insured commercial bank.  All funds deposited in the escrow account will be disbursed on a weekly basis to the Company once they have been determined by the Warrant Agent to be collected funds.  Once the funds are determined to be collected, the Warrant Agent shall cause the share certificate(s) representing the exercised Series A Warrants to be issued.

(f) Expenses incurred by the Warrant Agent will be paid by the Company.  These expenses, including delivery of Share certificates to the stockholder, will be deducted from the Exercise Price submitted by a Warrant Holder prior to the distribution of funds to the Company.  A detailed accounting statement relating to the number of Series A Warrants exercised, name of registered Warrant Holder and the net amount of exercised funds remitted will be given to the Company with the payment of each exercise amount.

7. Acceleration of Expiration Date.

At the Company’s option, and upon twenty days prior written notice, the Company may accelerate the expiration date of the Series A warrants if:

·   The Company’s common stock has closed at a price which is at least twice the then applicable warrant exercise price for at least twenty consecutive trading days;

·   The average trading volume in the Company’s common stock has been at least 30,000 shares during the ten trading days; and

·   The Company has a current and effective registration statement available covering the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants.

                8. Taxes.  The Company will pay all taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Shares upon exercise of Series A Warrants.  The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect to any transfer involved in any issue of Warrant Certificates or in the issue of any certificates of Shares in the name other than that of the Warrant Holder upon the exercise of any Series A Warrants.

9. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates.  On receipt by the Company and the Warrant Agent of evidence satisfactory as to the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver in lieu thereof, a new Warrant Certificate.  In the case of loss, theft or destruction of any Warrant Certificate, the Registered Owner requesting issuance of a new Warrant Certificate shall be required to secure an indemnity bond from an approved surety bonding company.  In the event a Warrant Certificate is mutilated, such Warrant Certificate shall be surrendered and canceled by the Warrant Agent prior to delivery of a new Warrant Certificate.  Applicants for a substitute Warrant Certificate shall also comply with such other regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Warrant Agent may prescribe.

3

10. Reservation of Shares.  For the purpose of enabling the Company to satisfy all obligations to issue Shares upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, the Company will at all times reserve and keep available free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares, the full number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants and such Shares will upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issue thereof.

11. Governmental Restrictions.  If any Shares issuable upon the exercise of Series A Warrants require registration or approval of any governmental authority, the Company will use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shares to be duly registered, or approved, as the case may be, and, to the extent practicable, take all such action in anticipation of and prior to the exercise of the Series A Warrants, including, without limitation, filing any and all post-effective amendments to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-____________) necessary to permit a public offering of the Shares underlying the Series A Warrants at any and all times during the term of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall such Shares be issued, and the Company is authorized to refuse to honor the exercise of any Series A Warrant, if such exercise would result, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, upon advice of counsel, in the violation of any law.  In the case of Series A Warrants exercisable solely for securities listed on a securities exchange or for which there are at least three independent market makers, in lieu of obtaining such registration or approval, the Company may elect to redeem Series A Warrants submitted to the Warrant Agent for exercise for a price equal to the difference between the aggregate low asked price, or closing price, as the case may be, of the securities for which such Series A Warrants are exercisable on the date of such submission and the Exercise Price of such Series A Warrants.  In the event of such redemption, the Company will pay to the holder of such Series A Warrants the above-described redemption price in cash within 10 business days after receipt of notice from the Warrant Agent that such Series A Warrants have been submitted for exercise.  If, at the Expiration Date, the Series A Warrants are not currently exercisable as a result of the provisions of this Section 11, the Expiration Date shall be extended to a date that is 30 calendar days following notice to the Warrant Holders that the Series A Warrants are again exercisable and references to the Expiration Date herein shall thereafter refer to such extended Expiration Date.

12. Adjustments.

(a) If prior to the exercise of any Series A Warrants, the Company shall have effected one or more stock split-ups, stock dividends or other increases or reductions of the number of shares of its Common Stock outstanding without receiving compensation therefor in money, services or property, the number of Shares subject to the Series A Warrants shall (i) if a net increase shall have been effected in the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price payable per Share shall be proportionately reduced, and (ii) if a net reduction shall have been effected in the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, be proportionately reduced and the Exercise Price payable per Share be proportionately increased.

4

(b) In the event of a capital reorganization or a reclassification of the Common Stock (except as provided in Subsection 12(a)), any Warrant Holder, upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, shall be entitled to receive, in substitution for the Common Stock to which the Warrant Holder would have become entitled upon exercise immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification, the shares (of any class or classes) or other securities or property of the Company (or cash) that he would have been entitled to receive at the same aggregate Exercise Price upon such reorganization or reclassification if such Series A Warrants had been exercised immediately prior to the record date with respect to such event; and in any such case, appropriate provision (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be evidenced by a certified Board resolution filed with the Warrant Agent) shall be made for the application of this Section 12 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrant Holders (including but not limited to the allocation of the Exercise Price between or among shares of classes of capital stock), to the end that this Section 12 (including the adjustments of the number of Shares or other securities purchasable and the Exercise Price thereof) shall thereafter be reflected, as nearly as reasonably practicable, in all subsequent exercises of the Series A Warrants for any shares or securities or other property (or cash) thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants.

(c) In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock), the corporation formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to the Warrant Agent a supplemental warrant agreement providing that the holder of each Series A Warrant then outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of such Series A Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of such Series A Warrant, solely the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (or cash) receivable upon such consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Series A Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer.  Such supplemental warrant agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Section 12.

(d) The Company may, in its sole discretion, lower the Exercise Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

13. Notice to Warrant Holders.  Upon any adjustment as described in Section 12, the Company shall (i) cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent a certificate signed by a Company officer setting forth the details of such adjustment, the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of the matters set forth therein, (ii) cause notice of such adjustments to be given to the Warrant Holders of record, which notice may be by publication of a press release and by taking such other steps as may be required under applicable laws.  Without limiting the obligation of the Company hereunder to provide notice to each Warrant Holder, failure of the Company to give notice shall not invalidate any corporate action taken by the Company.

5

14. No Fractional Warrants or Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, upon the reissue of Series A Warrants, or any adjustments as described in Section 12 or otherwise; but the Company in lieu of issuing any such fractional interest, shall round up or down to the nearest full Share issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrant.  If the total Series A Warrants surrendered by exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall not be required to issue a fractional share but rather the aggregate number of shares issuable will be rounded up or down to the nearest full share.

15. Rights of Warrant Holders.  No Warrant Holder, as such, shall have any rights of a stockholder of the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Warrant Holders, as such, are limited to those rights expressly provided in the Warrant Certificate.  The Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the registered Warrant Holder in respect of any Series A Warrant as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

16. Warrant Agent.  The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as the agent of the Company and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts such appointment upon the following terms and conditions by all of which the Company and every Warrant Holder, by acceptance of his Warrant Certificates, shall be bound:

(a) Statements contained in this Agreement and in the Warrant Certificate shall be taken as statements of the Company.  The Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of any of the same except such as describes the Warrant Agent or for action taken or to be taken by the Warrant Agent.

(b) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the Company’s covenants contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates.

(c) The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with counsel satisfactory to it (who may be counsel for the Company) and the Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Warrant Holder in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion or the advice of such counsel, provided the Warrant Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection and continued employment of such counsel.

(d) The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Warrant Holder for any action taken in reliance upon any notice, resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate or other paper, document or instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties.

(e) The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement, to reimburse the Warrant Agent for all expenses, taxes and governmental charges and all other charges of any kind or nature incurred by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement and to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and counsel fees, for this Agreement except as a result of the Warrant Agent’s gross negligence or bad faith or willful misconduct.

6

(f) The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve expense unless the Company or one or more Warrant Holders shall furnish the Warrant Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and expenses that may be incurred in connection with such action, suit or legal proceeding, but this provision shall not affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent may consider proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity.  All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of the Series A Warrants may be enforced by the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the Warrant Certificates or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Warrant Agent shall be brought in its name as Warrant Agent, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Warrant Holders as their respective rights or interest may appear.

(g) The Warrant Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Series A Warrants or other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under this Agreement.  Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity.

17. Successor Warrant Agent.  Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent hereunder with the same powers, rights, responsibilities and obligations of the Warrant Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act of a party or the parties hereto.  In any such event or if the name of the Warrant Agent is changed, the Warrant Agent or such successor may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant Agent and may countersign such Series A Warrants either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent.

18. Change of Warrant Agent.  The Warrant Agent may resign or be discharged by the Company from its duties under this Agreement by the Warrant Agent or the Company, as the case may be, by giving notice in writing to the other, and by giving a date when such resignation or discharge shall take effect, which notice shall be sent at least 30 days prior to the date so specified.  If the Warrant Agent shall resign, be discharged or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Warrant Agent.  If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Warrant Agent or by any Warrant Holder or after discharging the Warrant Agent, then the Company agrees to perform the duties of the Warrant Agent hereunder until a successor Warrant Agent is appointed.  After appointment and execution of a copy of this Agreement in effect at that time, the successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Warrant Agent without further act or deed and the former Warrant Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Warrant Agent any property at the time held by it thereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for effecting the delivery or transfer.  Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 18, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Warrant Agent or the appointment of the successor Warrant Agent, as the case may be.

7

19. Notices.  Any notice or demand authorized by this Agreement to be given or made by the Warrant Agent or by any Warrant Holder to or on the Company shall be sufficiently given or made if sent by facsimile, mail, first class, certified or registered, postage prepaid, addressed (until another address is filed in writing by the Company with the Warrant Agent), as follows:

ROCKDALE RESOURCES CORPORATION.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT

or registered assigns, is the registered holder of the number of Series A Warrants (“Warrants”) set forth above. Each Series A Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase from Rockdale Resources Corporation, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado (the “Company”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth hereinafter and in the Warrant Agreement between the Company and Corporate Stock Transfer dated ___________, 2012 (the “Warrant Agreement”), at any time on or after _______________, 20__ and before the close of business on _______________, 20__ (“Expiration Date”), one fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stockof the Company (“Common Stock”) upon presentation and surrender of this Warrant Certificate, with the instructions for the registration and delivery of Common Stock filled in, at the stock transfer office located in Denver, Colorado of Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., Warrant Agent of the Company (“Warrant Agent”) or of its successor warrant agent or, if there be no successor warrant agent, at the corporate offices of the Company, and upon payment of the Exercise Price of $2.00 (as may be adjusted the Warrant Agreement) and any applicable taxes paid either in cash, or by certified or official bank check, payable in lawful money of the United States of America to the order of the Company. Each Warrant initially entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock. The number and kind of securities or other property for which the Warrants are exercisable are subject to adjustment in certain events, such as mergers, stock splits, and stock dividends, to prevent dilution. The Company may, in its sole discretion, (i) extend the Expiration Date by providing not less than 10 days' prior notice, or (ii) lower the Exercise Price at any time prior to the Expiration Date. All Warrants will expire on the Expiration Date.

At the Company’s option, and upon twenty days prior written notice, the Company may accelerate the expiration date of the Warrants if:

·   the Company’s common stock has closed at a price which is at least twice the then applicable Exercise Price for at least twenty consecutive trading days;

·   the average trading volume in the Company’s common stock has been at least 30,000 shares during the twenty consecutive trading days; and

·   the Company has a current and effective registration statement available covering the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

This Warrant Certificate is subject to all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Warrant Agreement, to all of which terms, provisions and conditions the registered holder of this Warrant Certificate consents by acceptance hereof. The Warrant Agreement is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof and reference is made to the Warrant Agreement for a full description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the holders of the Warrant Certificates. Copies of the Warrant Agreement are available for inspection at the stock transfer office of the Warrant Agent or may be obtained upon written request addressed to the Company at Rockdale Resources Corporation, 11044 Research Blvd., Suite A-200,Austin, Texas  78759, Attention: Chief Executive Officer.

In certain cases, the sale of securities by the Company upon exercise of Warrants may violate the securities laws of the United States, certain states thereof or other jurisdictions. The Company has agreed to use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause a registration statement to continue to be effective during the term of the Warrants with respect to such sales under the Securities Act of 1933, and to take such action under the laws of various states as may be required to cause the sale of securities upon exercise to be lawful. However, the Company will not be required to honor the exercise of Warrants if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, upon advice of counsel, the sale of securities upon such exercise would be unlawful.

No holder of this Warrant Certificate, as such, shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall anything contained in the Warrant Agreement or herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant Certificate, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company.

This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent.

WITNESS the facsimile signatures of the proper officers of the Company and its corporate seal.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid.

A security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee.  The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue up to the aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers.  The aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding at any time may not exceed that amount except as provided in Section 2.07.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities.  An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate.

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for conversion (“Conversion Agent”).  The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange.  The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars, one or more additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion agents.  The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent; the term “Conversion Agent” includes any additional conversion agent.  The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.  If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee  shall act as such.

If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee’s requirements are met.  If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be sufficient in the judgment of both to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replace.  The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security.

Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company.

Section 2.08   Outstanding Securities.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchase.

If Securities are considered paid under Section 4.01, they cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate holds the Security.

Lipscomb RPLS attached hereto as Addendum A and incorporated herein by reference, (the “Leased Parcel”) on the terms set forth below, insofar only as the same covers and includes oil and gas, if any, which may lie in and under the Leased Parcel, and, provided, however, that unless Rockdale or its assigns actually commence (spud in) a test well thereon for oil within 120 days from and after the date hereof, and, after having so commenced said test well, prosecute the drilling of same with all due and reasonable diligence to such total depth at which oil in paying quantities, or flowing sulphur water, if any, is encountered, this assignment and all rights and obligations hereunder shall then ipso facto cease and terminate as to all parties.

2

It is understood that the drilling and completion of said well shall be at the sole cost, expense and risk of Rockdale hereunder, but the drilling and completion of the same is expressly made a condition of this assignment, and in the event Rockdale shall fail either to commence said well, or to drill and complete the same, as herein provided, this assignment shall be void and of no further force or effect, and Kingman shall have the right to peaceably retake possession of the hereinabove described Leased Parcel and the leasehold estate therein and thereunder, whereupon Rockdale shall have no further interest in said Lease, insofar as the same covers any part of the Leased Parcel above described, or in the production therefrom, and upon demand, shall reassign to Kingman herein, its successors and assigns, all of the rights, title, interest and property hereby conveyed.

This assignment is made subject to that certain letter agreement dated March 21, 2012, by and between Kingman and Rockdale, a copy of said letter agreement being available for inspection in Kingman’s principal office, which letter agreement provides, among other things, for a reversionary interest in the leasehold estate in Kingman.  When Payout occurs, as that term is hereinafter defined, Rockdale shall reassign to Kingman an undivided 10% working interest in the leasehold estate herein assigned by Kingman to Rockdale and a like proportionate interest in all wells and equipment located therein and thereon. “Payout” for the purpose of this assignment is defined as that point in time when Rockdale has recovered from the net proceeds of the production attributed to the leasehold estate assigned to Rockdale by Kingman a sum equal to the cost attributed to such leasehold estate in the drilling, testing, completing and equipping of the test well and a like proportionate interest in the cost of operating said test well during the payout period (it being the parties’ intent to comply with the restrictive definition of “complete payout” under Revenue Ruling, 1971-1 C.B. 160, Rev. Rul. 71-207 (1971)).

As a further and additional consideration for this assignment, Rockdale herein expressly binds and obligates itself, its successors and assigns, to operate the Leased Parcel in such a manner as to obtain the maximum production from each and every well for each and every accounting month; it being understood and agreed, however, that the amount of maximum production therefrom shall be governed by the rules and regulations of the Oil and Gas Division of the Railroad Commission of Texas. In this connection, it is further understood and agreed that Kingman herein, or its representative, shall at all times have access to the Leased Parcel herein assigned for the purpose of gauging the production therefrom.

It is understood and agreed that this assignment is in all things subject to all of the terms, conditions, covenants and obligations in said Lease contained, including, without limitation, an overriding royalty interest reserved unto ARDENT 1, LLC (on its own behalf and on behalf of Lessor) equal to 25% of 8/8 of the oil, gas and all other hydrocarbons in, under and that may be produced, saved and marketed from the Lease, insofar as the Lease covers the Lands; provided, however, that such overriding royalties shall be subject to being proportionately reduced in the event the Lease covers less than the entire mineral fee estate in the Land, and/or Lessor owns less than all of the working interest in and to the Lands; and Rockdale herein expressly binds itself, its successors or assigns, to in all things strictly comply with each and all such terms, conditions, covenants and obligations and expressly assumes the same.

This assignment is made with warranty of title by, through and under Kingman, but no further.  The express representations of Kingman contained in this agreement are exclusive and are in lieu of, and Kingman expressly disclaims and negates and Rockdale hereby waives, any representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to: (i) title to the Leased Parcel, (ii) the quality, quantity or volume of the reserves, if any, of oil, gas or other hydrocarbons in or under the Leased Parcel, and (iii) the environmental condition of the Leased Parcel, both surface and subsurface.  Kingman does not make or provide, and Rockdale hereby waives, any warranty or representation, express or implied, as to the quality, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose of the Leased Parcel or its conformity to models or samples of materials.  Except as provided herein, Kingman disclaims and negates, and Rockdale hereby waives, all other representations and warranties, express or implied or statutory.  There are no warranties that extend beyond the face of this assignment.  Rockdale acknowledges that this waiver is conspicuous.

This agreement is made and entered into as of the 31st day of March, 2012 (“Effective Date”) by and between ROCKDALE RESOURCES, INC., (“Owner”), a Colorado corporation, and KINGMAN OPERATING COMPANY, INC., (“Operator”), a Texas corporation.

Owner has acquired, or expects to acquire, oil and gas leasehold interests in the lands described in Addendum A hereto and desires by this agreement to engage Operator for the development and operation of said lands for the production of oil and gas. It is, therefore, agreed as follows:

1.  Definitions. As used in this agreement, the following terms shall have the following definitions:

“AFE” shall mean an authority for expenditure prepared by Operator for the purpose of estimating the costs to be incurred in conducting an operation hereunder.

“Completion” or “Complete” shall mean a single operation intended to complete a well as a producer of oil and gas in one or more Zones, including, but not limited to, the setting of production casing, perforating, well stimulation and production testing conducted in such operation.

“Contract Area” shall mean all of the lands described in Addendum “A” hereto, all of the oil and gas leases covering such lands or fee interests in oil and gas therein now owned or hereafter acquired by Owner and intended to be developed and operated for Oil and Gas purposes under this agreement.

“Deepen” means a single operation whereby a well is drilled to an objective Zone below the deepest Zone in which the well was previously drilled, or below the deepest Zone proposed in the associated AFE, whichever is the lesser.

“First Level Supervisors” shall mean those employees whose primary function in Operations is the direct supervision of other employees and/or contract labor directly employed on the Contract Area in a field operating capacity.

“Oil and Gas” shall mean oil, gas, casinghead gas, gas condensate and/or all other liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons and other marketable substances produced therewith.

“Operations” means all operations necessary or proper for the development, operation, protection and maintenance of the wells and facilities in the Contract Area.

“Plug Back” shall mean a single operation whereby a deeper Zone is abandoned in order to attempt a Completion in a shallower zone.

“Recompletion” or “Recomplete” shall mean an operation whereby a Completion in one Zone is abandoned in order to attempt a Completion in a different Zone within the existing wellbore.

“Rework” shall mean an operation conducted in the wellbore of a well after it is Completed to secure, restore or improve production in a Zone which is currently open to production in the wellbore. Such operations include, but are not limited to, well stimulation operations but exclude any routine repair or maintenance work or drilling, Sidetracking, Deepening, Completing, Recompleting or Plugging Back of a well.

“Sidetrack” shall mean the directional control and intentional deviation of a well from vertical so as to change the bottom hole location unless done to straighten the hole or to drill around junk in the hole or overcome other mechanical difficulties.

“Technical Employees” shall mean those employees having special and specific engineering, geological or other professional skills, and whose primary function in Operations is the handling of specific operating conditions and problems for the benefit of the Contract Area.

1

“Turnkey” or “Turnkey Basis” means Contractor shall furnish the equipment, labor, and perform the services as herein provided, to drill a well to the specified depth.

“Zone” means a stratum of earth containing or thought to contain a common accumulation of Oil and Gas separately producible from any other common accumulation of Oil and Gas.

2.  Responsibilities of Operator. Operator shall conduct and direct and have full control of all Operations on the Contract Area as permitted and required by, and within the limits of this agreement. In its performance of services hereunder for Owner, Operator shall be an independent contractor not subject to the control or direction of Owner except as to the type of operation to be undertaken and the objective thereof in accordance with the notification and approval procedures contained in this agreement. Operator shall not be deemed, or hold itself out as, the agent of Owner with authority to bind Owner to any obligation or liability assumed or incurred by Operator as to any third party. Operator shall conduct its activities under this agreement as a reasonable and prudent operator, in a good and workmanlike manner, with due diligence and dispatch, in accordance with good oilfield practice, and in compliance with applicable law and regulation, but in no event shall Operator have any liability as such to Owner for losses sustained or liabilities incurred except such as may result from gross negligence or willful misconduct.

3.  Rights and Duties of Operator.

(a)  Employees and Contractors. The number of employees or contractors used by Operator in conducting Operations hereunder, their selection, and the hours of labor and the compensation for services performed shall be determined by Operator, and all such employees or contractors shall be the employees or contractors of Operator.

(b)  Turnkey Basis. All wells drilled on the Contract Area shall be drilled on a Turnkey Basis at the rate set forth below in Section 4, unless otherwise agreed in writing between Owner and Operator.

(c)  Discharge of Obligations. Except as herein otherwise specifically provided, Operator shall promptly pay and discharge expenses incurred in the development and operation of the Contract Area pursuant to this agreement and shall charge Owner for reimbursement as provided in this agreement. Operator shall keep an accurate record of all expenses incurred and charges and credits made and received.

(d)  Protection from Liens. Operator shall pay, or cause to be paid, as and when they become due and payable, all accounts of contractors and suppliers and wages and salaries for services rendered or performed, and for materials supplied on, to or in respect of the Contract Area or any Operations thereon or therefor, and shall keep the Contract Area free from liens and encumbrances resulting therefrom except for those resulting from a bona fide dispute as to the services rendered or materials supplied.

(e)  Custody of Funds. Operator shall hold for the account of Owner any funds of Owner advanced or paid to Operator, either for the conduct of Operations hereunder or as a result of the sale of production from the Contract Area, and such funds shall remain the funds of Owner until used for their intended purpose or otherwise delivered to Owner or applied toward the payment of debts as provided herein. Nothing in this subparagraph shall be construed to establish a fiduciary relationship between Operator and Owner for any purpose other than to account for Owner funds as herein specifically provided. Nothing in this paragraph shall require the maintenance by Operator of separate accounts for the funds of Owner unless the parties otherwise specifically agree.

(f)  Access to Contract Area and Records. Operator shall, except as otherwise provided herein, permit Owner or Owner’s duly authorized representative, at Owner’s sole risk and cost, full and free access at all reasonable times to all Operations of every kind and character being conducted on the Contract Area and to the records and Operations conducted thereon or production therefrom, including Operator’s books and records relating thereto. Such access rights shall not be exercised in a manner interfering with Operator’s conduct of an operation hereunder. Operator will furnish Owner upon request copies of any and all reports and information obtained by Operator in connection with production and related items, including, without limitation, meter and chart reports, production purchaser statements, run tickets and monthly gauge reports.

(g)  Filing and Furnishing Governmental Reports. Operator will file, and upon written request promptly furnish copies to Owner, all operational notices, reports or applications required to be filed by local, state or federal agencies or authorities having jurisdiction over Operations hereunder. Owner shall provide to Operator on a timely basis all information necessary to Operator to make such filings.

2

(h)  Drilling and Testing Operations. The following provisions shall apply to each well drilled hereunder:

(i)  Operator will promptly advise Owner of the date on which the well is spudded, or the date on which drilling operations are commenced.

(ii)  Operator will send to Owner such reports, test results and notices regarding the progress of Operations on the well as Owner shall reasonably request, including, but not limited to, daily drilling reports, completion reports, and well logs.

(iii)  Operator shall adequately test all strata and horizons encountered which may reasonably be expected to be capable of producing oil and gas in paying quantities as a result of examination of any logs or cores or tests conducted hereunder.

(i)  Insurance. At all times while Operations are conducted hereunder, Operator shall comply with the worker compensation laws of the state where the Operations are being conducted. Operator shall also carry or provide insurance as follows:

(i)  General Liability, including contract, with limits of not less than $1,000,000 Per Occurrence, $2,000,000 General Aggregate, and $1,000,000 Products/Completed Operations Aggregate;

Operator shall require all contractors engaged in work on or for the Contract Area to comply with the worker compensation laws of the state where the Operations are being conducted and to maintain such other insurance as Operator may require.

4.  Drilling Operations & Turnkey Rate.

(a)  Initial Drilling Operations. Within 30 days after Operator’s receipt of the Turnkey Rate stated below in Section 4(c), Operator shall commence the drilling of the first well on the Contract Area at a well site to be determined by the mutual agreement of Operator and Owner and shall thereafter continue the drilling with due diligence to a depth of 2,000 feet below the surface or a depth sufficient to adequately test the Navarro B Formation to the extent the depth of the Navarro B Formation is shallower than 2,000 feet below the surface.

(b)  Subsequent/Additional Drilling Operations. Thereafter, Operator will not drill any well in the Contract Area and will not Rework, Sidetrack, Deepen, Recomplete or Plug Back a dry hole or a well no longer capable of producing in paying quantities on the Contract Area without first obtaining the approval of Owner. Before any such operation is performed, the following procedure will be followed unless otherwise agreed in writing:

(i)  When and as requested by Owner, or whenever Operator deems it necessary or advisable, Operator will prepare and submit to Owner a proposal for the operation, specifying the location, proposed depth, and objective Zone or Zones. Owner will respond in writing to such proposal, either approving it with any modifications that Owner may direct or rejecting the proposal. Owner’s approval of any such proposal will represent Owner’s agreement to bear and pay the Turnkey Rate for each such well and all other necessary expenditures in conducting the proposed operation pursuant to Section 5 below.

(ii)  When a well that has been proposed to be drilled, Deepened or Sidetracked under this agreement has reached its authorized depth, and all logs, cores and other tests have been completed, and the results thereof furnished to Owner, Operator shall give immediate notice to Owner whether or not Operator recommends attempting to Complete the well. Owner will thereupon (within 48 hours exclusive of Saturday, Sunday and legal holidays) either direct that an attempt be made to Complete the well or that the well be plugged and abandoned.

3

(iii)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Owner shall so direct at any time during the conduct of an operation approved pursuant to this Section 4, Operator will cease the operation and will incur no further expenditure for such operation, except that Operator will take such actions as are reasonably necessary, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, to plug and abandon the well or to conduct such other or further operation in such well as may be approved by Owner in the manner herein provided.

(c)  Turnkey Rate.  For work performed on a Turnkey Basis, as herein provided, Owner will pay Operator the sum of $275,000.00 per well, prior to and as a condition precedent to Operator’s commencing drilling operations.

(d)  Operator’s Monthly Management Fee. Upon completion of a well, and in addition to the Turnkey rate specified herein, Owner shall pay Operator a monthly management fee of $1,000.00 per well (the “Monthly Management Fee”) for its continued operation of the well(s).

(e)  Costs Due to Catastrophe. In addition to direct costs incurred in connection with a Catastrophe, Operator shall be paid the following rate in excess of the expenditure limit set forth in Section 5 to compensate Operator for overhead costs:

5% of total costs if such costs are less than $100,000; plus

3% of total costs in excess of $100,000 but less than $1,000,000; plus

2% of total costs in excess of $1,000,000.

Overhead costs for Catastrophe shall be applied as follows:

(i)  Catastrophe is defined as a sudden calamitous event bringing damage, loss or destruction to property or the environment, such as an oil spill, blowout, explosion, fire, storm, hurricane or other disaster. The overhead rate shall be applied to those costs necessary to restore the Contract Area to the equivalent condition that existed prior to the event.

(ii) Total cost shall mean the gross cost of any one project, and the rates shall be applied to all costs associated with each single occurrence or event.

(iii) For the purpose of calculating Catastrophe overhead, the cost of drilling relief wells or substitute wells, or conducting other well operations directly resulting from the catastrophic event shall be included. Expenditures to which these rates apply shall not be reduced by salvage or insurance recoveries. Expenditures that qualify for Catastrophe overhead shall not qualify for overhead under any other overhead provisions.

5.  Other Operations. Operator may, without first obtaining the express approval of Owner, perform routine maintenance, repairs and other tasks in the operation of wells and facilities on the Contract Area, and Owner shall bear the cost in the manner herein provided. However, Operator shall not undertake any single project reasonably estimated to require an expenditure in excess of $50,000.00 without Owner’s approval, either separately or in connection with the drilling, Sidetracking, Reworking, Deepening, Completing, Recompleting or Plugging Back of a well that has previously been authorized by or pursuant to this agreement; provided that in the case of explosion, fire, flood or other sudden emergency, whether of the same or different nature, Operator may take such steps and incur such expenses as in Operator’s opinion are required to deal with the emergency to safeguard life and property, but Operator, as promptly as possible, shall report the emergency to Owner. Operator may also take such steps and incur such expenses as it may be ordered to take by governmental authority. If Operator prepares an AFE for its own use, Operator shall furnish Owner an information copy thereof.

6.  Taking Production. Owner shall take in kind or separately dispose of the Oil and Gas produced from the Contract Area, exclusive of production which may be used in development and producing operations and in preparing and treating Oil and Gas for marketing purposes and production unavoidably lost. Owner shall execute such division orders and contracts as may be necessary for the sale of its interest in production from the Contract Area and shall be entitled to receive payment directly from the purchaser thereof for all production. If Owner fails to make the arrangements necessary to take in kind or separately dispose of the Oil and Gas produced from the Contract Area, Operator shall have the right, subject to the revocation at will by Owner, and if Owner so requests Operator shall have the obligation, to sell such Oil and Gas to others at any time and from time to time, for the account of Owner, subject always to the right of Owner upon ten days written notice to Operator to exercise at any time its right to take in kind, or separately dispose of, its share of all Oil and Gas not previously delivered to a purchaser. Unless Owner shall expressly direct otherwise in writing, any purchase or sale by Operator of Owner’s Oil and Gas shall be only for such reasonable periods of time as are consistent with the minimum needs of the industry under the particular circumstances, but in no event for a period in excess of one year. Any such sale by Operator shall be in a manner commercially reasonable under the circumstances, but Operator shall have no duty to share any existing market or to obtain a price equal to that received under any existing market. The sale or delivery by Operator of Owner’s share of Oil and Gas under the terms of any existing contract of Operator shall not give Owner any interest in or make Owner a party to said contract. No purchase shall be made by Operator without first giving Owner at least ten days written notice of such intended purchase and the price to be paid or the pricing basis to be used. Operator shall maintain records of all marketing arrangements and of volumes actually sold or transported, which records shall be made available to Owner upon reasonable request.

4

7.  Expenditures and Liability.

(a)  Direct Charges. Owner shall be responsible for, and shall be liable to Operator for reimbursement of, the direct costs of developing and operating the Contract Area beyond work performed on a Turnkey Basis, including the following items:

(i)  Ecological and Environmental.

Such costs may include survey of an ecological or archaeological nature and pollution control procedures that are required by applicable laws and regulations.

(ii) Rentals and Royalties. Lease rentals and royalties paid by Operator for Operations on the Contract Area.

(iii)  Damages and Losses to Property. All costs or expenses necessary for the repair or replacement of equipment and personal property made necessary because of damages or losses incurred by fire, flood, storm, theft, accident, or other cause, except those resulting from Operator’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Operator shall furnish Owner written notice of damages or losses incurred as soon as practicable after a report thereof has been received by Operator.

(iv)  Legal Expense. Expense of handling, investigating and settling litigation or claims, discharging of liens, payment of judgments and amounts paid for settlement of claims incurred in or resulting from Operations under this agreement or necessary to protect or recover real or personal property interests related to the Contract Area, except that no charge for services of attorneys shall be made unless previously agreed to by Owner.

(v)  Taxes. All taxes of every kind and nature assessed or levied upon or in connection with the Contract Area, the operation thereof, or the production therefrom, and which taxes have been paid by Operator for the benefit of Owner.

(vi)  Insurance. Net premiums paid for insurance carried for the Operations on the Contract Area for the protection of Owner and Operator.

(vii)  Abandonment and Reclamation. Costs incurred for abandonment of wells and facilities on the Contract Area, including costs required by governmental or other regulatory authority.

5

(b)  Statement and Billings. Operator shall bill Owner on or before the last day of each month for all of the direct costs of Operations on the Contract Area for the preceding month and for the following month’s Monthly Management Fee. Such bills will be accompanied by statements identifying the AFE, lease or facility, and all charges and credits summarized by appropriate classifications of investment and expense, except that unusual charges and credits shall be separately identified and fully described in detail.  Owner will pay all bills within fifteen (15) days after receipt. If payment is not made within such time, the unpaid balance shall bear interest monthly at the prime rate published by the Wall Street Journal as of the first day of the month in which the delinquency occurs plus 1%, or the maximum contract rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is the lesser, plus attorney’s fees, court costs, and other costs in connection with the collection of unpaid amounts.  Payment of any such bills shall not prejudice the right of Owner to protest or question the correctness thereof; provided, however, all bills and statements rendered to Owner by Operator during any calendar year shall conclusively be presumed to be true and correct after 24 months following the end of any such calendar year, unless within said 24-month period Owner takes written exception thereto and makes claim on Operator for adjustment. No adjustment favorable to Operator shall be made unless it is made within the same prescribed period.

(c)  Liens and Security Interests. Owner grants to Operator a lien upon any interest it now owns or hereafter acquires in the Contract Area, and a security interest and/or purchase money security interest in any interest it now owns or hereafter acquires in the personal property and fixtures on or used or obtained for use in connection therewith, to secure performance of all of its obligations under this agreement including but not limited to payment of expense, interest and fees. Such lien and security interest shall include Owner’s leasehold interests, working interests, operating rights, and royalty and overriding royalty interests in the Contract Area now owned or hereafter acquired and in lands pooled or unitized therewith or otherwise becoming subject to this agreement, the Oil and Gas when extracted therefrom and equipment situated thereon or used or obtained for use in connection therewith (including, without limitation, all wells, tools, and tubular goods), and accounts (including, without limitation, accounts arising from gas imbalances or from the sale of Oil and/or Gas at the wellhead), contract rights, inventory and general intangibles relating thereto or arising therefrom, and all proceeds and products of the foregoing.

To perfect the lien and security agreement provided herein, Owner shall execute and acknowledge a recording supplement and/or any financing statement prepared and submitted by Owner in conjunction herewith or at any time following execution hereof, and Operator is authorized to file this agreement or the recording supplement executed herewith, if any, as a lien or mortgage in the applicable real estate records and as a financing statement with the proper officer under the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Code”) in the state in which the Contract Area is situated and such other states as Operator shall deem appropriate to perfect the security interest granted hereunder. Owner may file this agreement, any recording supplement executed herewith, or such other documents as it deems necessary as a lien or mortgage in the applicable real estate records and/or a financing statement with the proper officer under the Code.

Owner represents and warrants to Operator that the lien and security interest granted hereby shall be a first and prior lien, and Owner hereby agrees to maintain the priority of said lien and security interest against all persons acquiring an interest in oil and gas leases and interests covered by this agreement by, through or under Owner. All parties acquiring an interest in oil and gas leases and oil and gas interests covered by this agreement, whether by assignment, merger, mortgage, operation of law, or otherwise, shall be deemed to have taken subject to the lien and security interest granted by this Section 7(c) as to all obligations attributable to such interest hereunder whether or not such obligations arise before or after such interest is acquired.

To the extent that Operator has a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Contract Area is situated, Operator shall be entitled to exercise the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. The bringing of a suit and the obtaining of judgment by Operator for the secured indebtedness shall not be deemed an election of remedies or otherwise affect the lien rights or security interest as security for the payment thereof. In addition, upon default by Operator in the payment of expenses, interest or fees, Operator shall have the right, without prejudice to other rights or remedies, to collect from the purchaser the proceeds from the sale of Owner’s share of Oil and Gas until the amount owed by Owner, plus interest as provided in Section 7(b), has been received, and shall have the right to offset the amount owed against the proceeds from the sale of Owner’s Oil and Gas. All purchasers of production may rely on a notification of default from Operator stating the amount due as a result of the default, and Owner waives any recourse available against purchasers for releasing production proceeds as provided in this paragraph.

6

If Owner does not perform all of its obligations hereunder, and the failure to perform subjects Owner to foreclosure or execution proceedings pursuant to the provisions of this agreement, to the extent allowed by governing law, Owner waives any available right of redemption from and after the date of judgment, any required valuation or appraisement of the mortgaged or secured property prior to sale, any available right to stay execution or to require a marshalling of assets and any required bond in the event a receiver is appointed. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Owner hereby grants to Operator a power of sale as to any property that is subject to the lien and security rights granted hereunder, such power to be exercised in the manner provided by applicable law or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner and upon reasonable notice.

Owner agrees that Operator shall be entitled to utilize the provisions of Oil and Gas lien law or other lien law of any state in which the Contract Area is situated to enforce the obligations of each party hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Owner agrees that Operator may invoke or utilize the mechanics’ or materialmen’s lien law of the state in which the Contract Area is situated in order to secure the payment to Operator of any sum due hereunder for services performed or materials supplied by Operator.

8.  Claims and Lawsuits. Operator may settle any single uninsured third-party damage claim or suit arising from Operations hereunder if the expenditure does not exceed $50,000.00 and if the payment is in complete settlement of such claim or suit. If the amount required for settlement exceeds the above amount, Owner shall assume and take over the further handling of the claim or suit, unless such authority is delegated to Operator. All costs and expenses of handling, settling or otherwise discharging such claim or suit shall be borne by Owner. Operator shall immediately notify Owner of any claim or suit arising from Operations hereunder.

9.  Term of Agreement. The term of this agreement shall be for an initial period of five (5) years and shall continue thereafter until terminated on sixty (60) days notice by either party to the other. However, Owner shall have the right to remove Operator and terminate this agreement at any time if Operator is in material breach of this agreement and remains in material breach sixty (60) days after notice by Owner to Operator, specifying the nature of Operator’s breach and the necessary action to remedy the breach. The termination of this agreement shall not relieve any party from any obligation or any remedy therefor that has accrued or attached prior to the date of termination.

10.  Miscellaneous:

(a)  Notices: Except as otherwise expressly provided in this agreement to the contrary, any notice required or permitted to be given under this agreement shall be in writing (including facsimile or similar electronic transmission, provided that such notice will only be deemed effective upon the sender’s receipt of a non-automated reply) and sent to the address of the person to be notified as set forth below, or such other more recent address of which the sending person has actually received written notice.

Each such notice or other communication shall be effective, if given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, as of the third day after the date indicated on the mailing certificate, or if given by any other means, when such notice or other communication is actually received.

(b)  Force Majeure: If a party is rendered unable, wholly or in part, by force majeure to carry out its obligations under this agreement, other than the obligation to indemnify or make money payments, that party will give to the other party prompt written notice of the force majeure with reasonably full particulars concerning it; thereupon, the obligations of the party giving the notice, so far as they are affected by the force majeure, shall be suspended during, but no longer than, the continuance of the force majeure. The term “force majeure,” as here employed, shall mean an act of God, strike, lockout, or other industrial disturbance, act of the public enemy, war, blockade, public riot, lightning, fire, storm, flood or other act of nature, explosion, governmental action, governmental delay, restraint or inaction, unavailability of equipment, and any other cause, whether of the kind specifically enumerated above or otherwise, which is not reasonably within the control of the party claiming suspension. The affected party shall use all reasonable diligence to remove the force majeure situation as quickly as practicable. The requirement that any force majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch shall not require the settlement of strikes, lockouts, or other labor difficulty by the party involved, contrary to its wishes; how all such difficulties shall be handled shall be entirely within the discretion of the party concerned.

(c)  Laws, Regulations and Orders: This agreement shall be subject to the applicable laws of the State of Texas, to the valid rules, regulations and orders of any duly constituted regulatory body of said state, and to all other applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and orders. Nothing herein contained shall grant, or be construed to grant, Operator the right or authority to waive or release any rights, privileges or obligations Owner may have under federal or state laws or under rules, regulations or orders promulgated under such laws in reference to oil, gas and mineral operations, including the location, operation or production of wells on tracts offsetting or adjacent to the Contract Area. With respect to the Operations hereunder, Owner agrees to release Operator from any and all losses, damages, injuries, claims and causes of action arising out of, incident to or arising directly or indirectly from Operator’s interpretation or application of rules, rulings, regulations or orders of the Department of Energy or Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or predecessor or successor agencies to the extent such interpretation or application was made in good faith and does not constitute gross negligence. Owner further agrees to reimburse Operator for any refund, fine, levy or other governmental sanction that Operator may be required to pay as a result of such incorrect interpretation or application, together with interest and penalties thereon owing by Operator as a result of such incorrect interpretation or application.

(d)  Governing Law: This agreement and all matters pertaining hereto, including but not limited to matters of performance, nonperformance, breach, remedies, procedures, rights, duties and interpretation or construction, shall be governed and determined by the law of the State of Texas.

(e)  Successors and Assigns: This agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and the terms hereof shall be deemed to run with the oil and gas leases or other interests of Owner in the Contract Area.

EX-10.4

EXHIBIT 10.4

CHIEF EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made the 31st day of March 2012 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Rockdale Resources, Inc., a Colorado corporation, (the “Company”), and Michael D. Smith (“Smith”).

WHEREAS, the Company has been formed by individuals with a long history of success with the capital formation, operation, growth and sale of oil and gas companies to utilize the energy capital markets to raise equity and debt for oil and gas exploration and to create significant shareholder value through oil and gas drilling and production; and

WHEREAS, Smith has been engaged as an executive in the oil and gas industry for more than a decade and has extensive experience in oil and gas operations in Texas, including developing, marketing and selling oil and gas investments, horizontal drilling and numerous other projects in Texas; and

WHEREAS, Smith is the President, Chief Executive Officer, sole shareholder and director of Kingman Operating Company, Inc., and the President and sole member of Kingman Energy, LLC (Kingman Operating Company, Inc., and Kingman Energy, LLC, are collectively referred to herein as “Kingman”); and

WHEREAS, with such disclosure and knowledge of Smith’s ownership of, obligations and duties to, and continuing participation in Kingman, the Company desires that Smith also serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as a director on its Board of Directors; and

WHEREAS, Smith is willing to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as a director on its Board of Directors in conjunction with his obligations and duties to and continued participation in Kingman;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and Smith (collectively the “Parties”, each a “Party”) hereby agree as follows:

I.  EMPLOYMENT

(1)Employment. The Company hereby employs Smith, and Smith hereby agrees to serve the Company, as its President and Chief Executive Officer with such responsibilities and authority as may from time to time be prescribed by the Company’s Board of Directors and to perform the tasks incident to these positions being accountable only to the Company’s Board of Directors.  Additionally, Smith will serve as a voting member (i.e., a director) on the Company’s Board of Directors.

(2)Term.  Smith’s employment with the Company shall begin on April 1, 2012 and continue until March 31, 2013, and from year-to-year thereafter (the “Term”), unless terminated sooner as provided below.

(3)Time & Effort. Smith shall devote as much time and effort as may be reasonable and necessary, in consultation with the Company’s Board of Directors, but in no event less than 70% of normal business hours, to perform the duties incident to his role as President and Chief Executive Officer.

II. COMPENSATION

(1)Salary. The Company agrees to pay Smith, during the Term, a salary at the initial fixed rate of US$120,000.00 per year, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll process or, in the absence thereof, on the first (1st) day of each month, less such deductions or amounts to be withheld as required by applicable law.  Smith may be entitled to receive, in addition to the annual base salary referenced above, an annual bonus in an amount to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in its sole discretion.  Nothing contained here will be construed to prevent the Company from increasing Smith’s salary during the Term, or from paying bonuses to him, in the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.

(2)Insurance. Smith shall be entitled to receive such health, dental, personal disability, life insurance, and flexible time-off benefits as are provided for other employees of the Company and as may be authorized and adopted from time to time in the future by the Company.

1

(3)Benefit Plans. During the Term, Smith is entitled to participate in all employee incentive plans, such as extra compensation plan, pension plan, stock option, stock purchases, stock appreciation plan, or equivalent successor plans that may be adopted by the Company or other so-called “fringe” benefits which the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, provide for the Company’s employees generally, both those that are in effect now and those that may thereafter be adopted.  Any stock options will be designated as incentive stock options to the extent permitted under the plan and applicable law.

(4)Vacation. Smith is entitled to six (6) weeks of paid vacation days in each calendar year, or greater number of weeks as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors from time to time during the Term, and to compensation in respect of earned but unused vacation days, and to all paid holidays given by the Company to its employees or those observed by the New York Stock Exchange, whichever is more.

(5)Disability Pay. In the absence of disability insurance provided or offered by the Company and in the event of Smith’s illness or disability for a continuous period of six (6) months during which he is unable to render the services required herein, Smith’s compensation will continue during such period at the rates provided for hereinabove, and, at the end of such period, the Company may terminate the Term on 30 days’ prior written notice.  In the event of a dispute as to Smith’s disability, such question must be submitted to an impartial and reputable physician selected by the mutual agreement of Smith and the Company or in the absence of mutual agreement by the president of the Medical Society of Travis County, Texas, and the determination of the question of disability by such physician will be final and binding on the parties.

III. EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT

During the Term, Smith shall be authorized to incur necessary and reasonable travel and other business expenses in connection with his executive duties hereunder and for promoting the business of the Company, pursuant to and consistent with the written policies and procedures established by the Company and as may be modified from time to time. The Company shall reimburse Smith for such expenses in accordance with the Company’s written policy and procedures.

IV. TERMINATION

(1)Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of its Term for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” means:  (i) a willful act by Smith that is financially materially inimical to the best interests of the Company; (ii) a willful failure by Smith to follow the reasonable, prudent and lawful direction of the Company’s Board of Directors; or (iii) a failure by Smith to substantially perform his duties hereunder within 30 days after demand for substantial performance thereof in writing delivered by the Chairman of the Board of Directors that specifically identifies the manner in which the Board of Directors believes that Smith has not substantially performed.  For purposes of this paragraph, no act or failure to act on Smith’s part is deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by him not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Smith will not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there has been delivered to him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-fourths of the entire membership of the Board of Directors at a meeting thereof called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to Smith and an opportunity for him, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board of Directors) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors, Smith was guilty of the conduct set forth above and specifying the particulars in detail.

(2)Termination by the Executive.  Smith may terminate his employment prior to the Term: (i) for Good Reason or (ii) for convenience on 90 days’ prior written notice.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means: (A) a Change-in-Control of the Company; (B) a failure by the Company to comply with any material provision of this Agreement which has not been cured within 10 days after notice of such noncompliance has been

2

given by Smith to the Company; or (C) any purported termination of Smith’s employment other than for Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change-in-Control” of the Company means a change in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 5(f) of schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. §§78a et seq.) as amended (the “Exchange Act”); provided that, without limitation, a Change-in-Control is deemed to have occurred if: (y) any “person” (as the term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than the Company or any “person” who on this date is a director or officer of the Company, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as the term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing a percentage interest of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities which is greater than that of the majority-in-interest of the Company’s shareholders as of the date of this Agreement; or (z) during any period of two consecutive years during the Term, those individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Company’s Board of Directors cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors, unless the election of each director who was not a director at the beginning of such period has been approved in advance by directors representing at least three-fourths of the entire membership of the Board of Directors then in office who were directors at the beginning of the period.

V. PAYMENT ON TERMINATION

(1)Termination Following the Executive’s Death.  In the event of Smith’s death during the Term, this Agreement will terminate, and the Company will pay to his widow or other beneficiary designated in writing by him, as a death benefit, an amount equal to the monthly rate of Smith’s salary then in effect for a period of six months after his death.

(2)Termination Following Change-of-Control. If, within one year following a Change-in-Control, Smith resigns for Good Reason or the Company terminates his employment without Cause, Smith shall receive: (i) a lump-sum severance payment equal to one hundred percent (100%) of his then current base salary, less applicable deductions and withholdings; (ii) the full amount of any bonus for the fiscal year in which he is terminated, less applicable deductions and withholdings; (iii) immediate vesting of the unvested shares under all outstanding stock options; and (iv) should he be eligible for and elect to continue health insurance pursuant to COBRA, payment of COBRA premiums for twelve (12) months following the termination date of his employment.

(3)Termination for Cause. If Smith’s employment is terminated for Cause, the Company must pay him his full salary through the date of termination at the rate in effect at the time of termination and thereafter has no further obligations to him under this Agreement.

(4)No Duty to Mitigate. Smith is not required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor must the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement be reduced by any compensation he earns as the result of employment by another employer after the termination of his employment or otherwise.

(5)Lump Sum Payment. On Smith’s (or his estate’s) written request, the Company’s Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, irrevocably agree that the Company will make payment of the above amounts to Smith (or his estate) in one lump sum equal to the present value of any amount remaining to be paid under this section. The present value of the amount to be paid shall be determined by assuming monthly payments on the last day of each month and by discounting those payments at the applicable federal rate, as set forth in Section 1274 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor statute then in effect (the “Code”), most recently published prior to the date of calculation of the date of termination of employment. The lump-sum payment shall be made within two days after the date of termination.

(6)Excess Parachute Limitation. If the Company’s certified public accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) determines that any payment by the Company to Smith under this Section would be considered to be an “excess parachute payment” under Sections 4999 or 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties with respect thereto (“Excise Tax”), the Company shall make an additional payment to Smith (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount, as calculated by the Accounting Firm, that places Smith in

3

the same after-tax economic position that he would have enjoyed if the Excise Tax had not applied to such payment.  The Company shall pay the Gross-Up Payment within five (5) days of the Accounting Firm’s determination. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable, the Company shall cause the Accounting Firm to provide Smith with an opinion that the Accounting Firm has substantial authority under the Code not to report an Excise Tax on his federal income tax return. If the initial Gross-Up Payment is insufficient to cover the amount of the Excise Tax ultimately determined to be owed by Smith (“Underpayment”), the Company shall promptly pay Smith an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of the Underpayment.  The Company shall pay all fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm, including, without limitation, those related to the opinion referred to herein.

VI. CONFIDENTIALITY & CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

(1)Confidentiality.  During the Term and for two (2) years thereafter, Smith will not without authorization by the Company’s Board of Directors publish or disclose, or authorize anyone else to publish or disclose, any confidential information or trade secrets relating to the business of the Company obtained by Smith during the Term, or any business record, paper, or document, any correspondence, cost data, customer list, or market survey containing confidential information or trade secrets of the Company. All business records, papers, and documents kept or made by Smith relating to the business of the Company must be surrendered to the Company on termination of the Employment Term.  The foregoing shall not apply to records, papers, documents, correspondence or other information that is (i) owned or created by any employee or agent of Kingman (other than Smith) or by any third party independent of the Company without access to and reliance on the Company’s confidential information or trade secrets, (ii) obtained or received by Smith from a third party without an obligation of confidentiality to the Company, (iii) independently developed or derived without aid of or access to the Company’s confidential information or trade secrets, or (iv) authorized for publication by the Company’s Board of Directors.

(2)Continued Participation in Kingman. It is further understood and agreed that Smith shall continue to have an ownership interest in, to have obligations and duties to, and to participate in the activities and operations of Kingman and, as such, may engage in other oil and gas activities, for his own account and for the account of others, that are unrelated to the Company’s endeavors.  Because Kingman may provide various services to the Company that are directly related to the Company’s endeavors (for example, serving as operator for the Company’s oil and gas wells), Smith, by virtue of his continued involvement with Kingman, may have dual interests in certain of the Company’s endeavors and may have conflicting interests with regard to certain of the Company’s endeavors.  It is, therefore, further understood and agreed that the consideration paid to Smith hereunder is far less than that which the market would normally bare for an executive of his caliber in order to (a) avoid any appearance of self-dealing on Smith’s part and (b) account for compensation Smith may receive by virtue of his continued involvement with Kingman.  It is, further, understood and agreed that, in the event Smith’s performance of a duty or obligation to the Company and his duties or obligations to, or interest in, Kingman give rise to a conflict of interests, Smith temporarily may excuse himself from performance of such duty or obligation to the Company, instead deferring such matter to the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, and in so doing shall not breach or violate the provisions of this Agreement or be deemed to have abandoned his duties or employment hereunder.

(3)Conflicts of Interest.  During the Term, Smith will not engage as owner, stockholder, employee, officer, or director, directly or indirectly, for his own account, or for any person, firm, or corporation, anywhere in the world, in the business now conducted by the Company; provided, however, (i) the foregoing shall in no way restrict Smith’s ability to participate as owner, stockholder, employee, officer, or director, directly or indirectly, for his own account, or for any person, firm, or corporation, anywhere in the world, in the business conducted by Kingman, and (ii) Smith may invest in the securities traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market of any corporation engaged in the business now conducted by the Company and those of any corporation not engaged in the business now conducted by the Company.

(4)Disclosures.  The Company shall make disclosures regarding the foregoing provisions of Subsections VI(2)-(3) in filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and states securities regulators and in documents provided to investors and potential investors as reasonably prudent under (at a minimum, as required by) applicable law.

4

VII. INDEMNIFICATION

The Company will, and does hereby, indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Smith from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint or several), penalties, fines, interest, costs and expenses (“Losses”) which Smith may incur and to which Smith may become subject under federal or state statute, common law, or otherwise (“Proceedings”) relating to (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which the Company’s securities were registered under the Securities Act or applicable state law; (b) any misleading, untrue or allegedly misleading or untrue statement or omission to state a material fact in any preliminary, final, or summary prospectus, offering memorandum, or other document provided to investors, potential investors, the SEC or state securities regulators, including any amendments or supplements thereto; (c) the Company’s failure to make disclosures as reasonably prudent under or as required by the Securities Act or applicable state securities or consumer protection laws; (d) the Company’s violation of applicable law or regulation; (e) the Company’s decision to contest a determination under Sections 4999 or 280G of the Code relative to any payment to Smith under Section V of this Agreement or imputed income resulting from any Gross-Up Payment; or (f) any other action or omission to act by the Company.  Smith shall have the right to be represented in Proceedings by counsel of his choosing, and the Company will reimburse Smith for any legal and other expenses incurred by him in connection with Proceedings.  Such indemnity remains in full force and effect regardless of, and shall survive, the termination of the Term or this Agreement.

X. MISCELLANEOUS

(1)Successors. This Agreement (a) shall be binding upon any successor (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation, liquidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets and (b) shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Smith’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees.

(2)Notices. Any notice required or desired to be given under this Agreement will be deemed given if in writing sent by certified mail and hand delivered (a) if to Smith, to his residence, or (b) if to the Company, to its principal office or its registered agent.

(3)Modification; Waiver. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived, or discharged unless such waiver, modification, or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Smith and such officer of the Company as designated by its Board of Directors.  Waiver by either Party of a breach of any provision does not operate as or will be construed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

(4)Savings Clause. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement does not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement which remains in full force and effect.

(5)Interpretation. This Agreement has been submitted to the scrutiny of, and has been negotiated by, all Parties hereto and their counsel, and shall be given a fair and reasonable interpretation in accordance with the terms hereof, without consideration or weight being given to its having been drafted by any Party hereto or its counsel.  Titles or captions of sections contained in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in no way define, limit, extend, or describe the scope of this Agreement or the intent of any provisions hereof.

(6)Governing Law; Disputes; Remedies Cumulative. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.  Any disputes under this Agreement shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and the Parties irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of said courts.  The rights and remedies of the Parties hereunder shall not be mutually exclusive, and the exercise of one or more of the provisions hereof shall not preclude the exercise of any other provisions hereof.

(7)Entire Agreement. This Agreement has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and contains the Parties’ full and complete Agreement concerning Smith’s employment with the Company, to the exclusion of any other agreements, representations or discussion (oral or written).

5

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed by its Chairman of the Board, and the Parties have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Art Design, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Colorado on January 16, 2002.  In April 2012 the Company discontinued its prior operations and became involved in the exploration and development of oil and gas. On May 4th 2012, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Rockdale Resources Corporation (the “Company”).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America 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 the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 which are included as part of this prospectus. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the  year ended December 31, 2011  have been omitted.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements through the filing date and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Art Design, Inc. (“we”, “our” or the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Colorado on January 16, 2002. The Company sells art work and interior decorating to professional and business offices.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under straight line methods over each item's estimated useful life.

Income tax

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, ASC 740 - “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). This standard requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting for and reporting of income taxes. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

Net income (loss) per share

The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and other dilutive instruments are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no potentially dilutive instruments outstanding.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, and related party notes payable. Management believes that the recorded values of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company reviews the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. If impairment testing indicates a lack of recoverability, an impairment loss is recognized by the Company if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements through the filing date and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company.

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]

NOTE 5.            INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes arise from the temporary differences between financial statement and income tax recognition of net operating losses. These loss carryovers are limited under the Internal Revenue Code should a significant change in ownership occur.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, after the spinoff of its subsidiary the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of $136,600 and $106,000 respectively, which begin to expire in 2026. The deferred tax asset of $46,400 and $36,000 respectively created by the net operating loss has been offset by a 100% valuation allowance. The change in the valuation allowance in 2011 and 2010 was $10,400 and $5,000 respectively.

The Company’s income tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. The Company’s open audit periods are 2008, 2009, and 2010, although, the statute of limitations for the 2008 tax year will expire effective March 15, 2011. In evaluating the Company’s provisions and accruals, future taxable income, and reversal of temporary differences, interpretations and tax planning strategies are considered. The Company believes its estimates are appropriate based on current facts and circumstances.
