NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which we consider necessary, for a fair presentation of those financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 may not necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for any succeeding quarter or for the entire fiscal year. The information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of our annual report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2017.

The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, which are evaluated on an ongoing basis, that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments. In particular, significant estimates and judgments include those related to: the estimated useful lives for plant and equipment, the fair value of warrants and stock options granted for services or compensation, estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities, derivative liabilities, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets due to continuing operating losses, those related to revenue recognition and the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near-term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.

All amounts referred to in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries in which it has a majority voting interest. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. The entities included in these unaudited consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Pledge Petroleum Corp – Parent Company

Nova’s Energy USA Inc. (wholly owned).

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.

The amendments in this Update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606.

The impact of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements is not expected to be material.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements.

The amendments in this Update provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption consistent with preparers’ requests.

The amendments in this Update provide lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance (Topic 606) and both of the following are met: 1. The timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease component(s) and associated lease component are the same. 2. The lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.

The amendments in this Update related to separating components of a contract affect the amendments in Update 2016-02, which are not yet effective but can be early adopted.

The Company is currently considering the impact this ASU will have on its financial statements.

Any new accounting standards, not disclosed above, that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES (continued)

Use of Estimates

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.

The Company assesses credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. At June 30, 2018, the Company had cash balances of $379,232, of which $79,435 are not covered by the federally insured limits.

Related parties

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company, or own in aggregate, on a fully diluted basis 5% or more of the Company’s stock. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions are recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged. Property purchased from a related party is recorded at the cost to the related party and any payment to or on behalf of the related party in excess of the cost is reflected as a distribution to related party.

GOING CONCERN

The Company has cash balances of $379,232 as of June 30, 2018, which is not sufficient to meet current expenses for at least the next twelve month period. On March 23, 2018, after obtaining approval of the majority shareholder and the majority of the minority of the shareholders the Company sold substantially all of its assets for $650,000 and simultaneously therewith the entire shareholding of the majority shareholder, Ervington, was purchased by the Company for gross proceeds of $8,500,000. The ability of the Company to conclude an acquisition based on current cash balances and continue as a going concern is uncertain.

PREPAID EXPENSES

Prepaid expenses consisted of the following:

	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017

Prepaid insurance	$	13,762	$	22,483
Prepaid professional fees		2,500		3,333

Depreciation expense was $1,263 and $1,311 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $2,525 and $2,866 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

On March 23, 2018, the Company concluded an Asset Purchase Agreement with an affiliate (the “Purchaser”) of Ervington Investment Limited, the previous holder of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting securities, pursuant to which the Company sold to the Purchaser substantially all of its assets, including all pertinent intellectual property rights, comprising its business of implementing its plasma pulse technology, for $650,000 (the “Asset Sale”).

The Asset Sale is to a related party and the profit realized of $650,000 was credited to additional paid in capital.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common stock

The Company has authorized 500,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 each. The Company has issued 298,558,931 and 268,558,931 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 respectively, and has outstanding 234,256,464 and 268,558,931 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

On March 23, 2018, the Company concluded an Asset Sale agreement as discussed in note 5 above, simultaneously with the Asset Sale Agreement, the Company concluded a Share Repurchase Agreement with Ervington to repurchase all of the outstanding securities held by Ervington for $8,500,000 (the “Share Repurchase”). The repurchase constituted a change of control. Upon conclusion of the Repurchase Agreement, Ivan Persiyanov, resigned from all positions he holds as an officer and director of the Company and its subsidiaries. After the completion of the Asset Sale, the Company ceased all activities related to its existing business while evaluating other business opportunities, which include potentially acquiring a technology and oilfield services business, of which two of the Company’s current directors (Messrs. Huemoeller and Zotos) own a minority equity interest. The Company has not entered into an agreement with any potential acquisition candidate and has only been in the early stages of discussion.

In terms of the above, the Company repurchased 64,302,467 shares of common stock from Ervington, which shares are being retained as treasury shares.

On May 2, 2018 the Company issued 30,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to the directors of the Company as compensation for services rendered. These shares vest as to one third immediately, one third on May 2, 2019 and one third on May 2, 2020.

The restricted stock granted and exercisable at June 30, 2018 is as follows:

		Restricted Stock Granted			Restricted Stock Vested
Grant date price		Number granted	Weighted average exercise price		Number vested	Weighted average exercise price

$	0.01	30,000,000	$	0.01	30,000,000	$	0.01

The Company recorded an expense of $116,667 and $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to the restricted stock options granted to the directors.

Preferred stock

The Company has 10,000,000 authorized preferred shares with a par value of $0.001 each, with 5,000,000 preferred shares designated as Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-1 Shares”), 500,000 preferred shares designated as Series B Preferred Stock and 4,500,000 preferred shares designated as Series C Preferred Stock.

In terms of the Share Repurchase Agreement entered into, discussed above, the Company repurchased 3,137,500 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and 4,500,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock from Ervington, which shares are being retained as treasury shares.

Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company has designated 500,000 preferred shares as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Shares”), with 40,000 Series B Shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, which are convertible into 4,000,000 shares of common stock.

The rights, privileges and preferences of the Series B Shares are summarized as follows:

Conversion

The holders of the Series B Preferred Shares have conversion rights as follows:

(a)

Each share of the Series B Shares is convertible at any time prior to the issuance of a redemption notice by the Company into such number of shares of Common Stock by dividing the Stated value ($10) of the Series B Shares by $0.10 and is subject to adjustment for dividends or distributions made in common stock, the issue of securities convertible into common stock, stock splits, reverse stock splits, or reclassifications of common stock. No adjustments will be made to the conversion rights or conversion price for any reorganization other than to be entitled to receive the same benefits as if the shares were converted immediately prior to such reorganization. No conversion will take place if the holder of the Series B Shares will beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after conversion. As of the date hereof, each Series B Share converts into 100 shares of common stock.

(b)

The conversion right of the holders of Series B Shares are exercised by the surrender of the certificates representing shares to be converted to the Company, accompanied by written notice electing conversion.

(c)

Subsequent to the reverse split the Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of awards available for grant to 2,100,000 shares. The exercise price of stock options under the Stock Plan is determined by the Board of Directors, and may be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted. Options become exercisable over various periods from the date of grant, and generally expire ten years after the grant date.

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 there were 380,950 Plan options issued, and 342,854 and 380,950 outstanding, respectively, under the Stock Option Plan.

No options were issued during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017.

In the event of the employees’ termination, the Company will cease to recognize compensation expense.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is based on basic shares as determined above plus common stock equivalents, including convertible preferred shares and convertible notes as well as the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of in-the-money stock options using the treasury stock method. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not assume the issuance of common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, all stock options, unvested restricted stock awards, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share. Dilutive shares which could exist pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock instruments and which were not included in the calculation because their affect would have been anti-dilutive are as follows:

	Three and six months ended June 30, 2018		Three and six months ended June 30, 2017

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On May 2, 2018, we issued to each of our three directors, 10,000,000 shares of restricted common stock, vesting as to 1/3 of the grant immediately, 1/3 of the grant on the one year anniversary of the grant date and 1/3 of the grant on the two year anniversary of the grant date.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company disposed of its Crystal Magic, Inc. subsidiary effective December 31, 2013. In terms of the sale agreement entered into by the Company, the purchaser has been indemnified against all liabilities whether contingent or otherwise, claimed by third parties, this includes claims by creditors of the Company amounting to $372,090 and claims against long-term liabilities of $848,916. Management does not consider it likely that these claims will materialize and accordingly no provision has been made for these contingent liabilities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of significant factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto presented herein and our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the other information set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on May 31, 2018. In addition to historical information, the following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “continue,” “sustain”, “on track”, “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “may,” “assume,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are often used to identify such forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports that we file or furnish with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise.

Overview and Financial Condition

Recent Developments

On March 23, 2018, upon the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Share Repurchase Agreement, Ivan Persiyanov resigned as director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Mr. John Zotos was appointed as the Company’s interim Chief Executive Officer.

On May 2, 2018, Christopher Headrick was appointed as a director.

On May 31, 2018, Mr. Zotos was also appointed as the Company’s interim Chief Financial Officer.

Our Company

During the 2017 year, our management, at the direction of the Board of Directors, evaluated, considered, and brought forward various opportunities to acquire producing oil fields; however, an oil field meeting the criteria acceptable to the Board of Directors (which criteria include among other things, low general and administrative costs, ability to generate cash flow and ability to fully utilize the Plasma Pulse Technology (“PPT”)) had not been found. As a result, and in lieu of a potential dissolution, on March 23, 2018, we sold substantially all of our assets, including all pertinent intellectual property rights comprising our business of implementing plasma pulse technology (the “Asset Sale”), to Norma Investments Limited (“Norma”), the parent company of Ervington Investments Limited (“Ervington”), the then holder of a majority of our outstanding voting securities, for $650,000 pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Norma, dated February 12, 2018 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). In connection with the Asset Sale, we also repurchased all of our outstanding securities held by Ervington for $8,500,000 (the “Share Repurchase”) pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement with Ervington, dated February 12, 2018 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”).

At this point, the Board is re-evaluating its business plan and strategy and has reduced operating expenses, including staffing, in order to preserve capital, while the Board evaluates its options including the possible acquisition of a technology and an oilfield services business, of which two of our current directors own a minority equity interest.

We have financed our operations primarily from sales of our securities, both debt and equity, and to a lesser extent revenue from operations and we expect to continue to obtain required capital in a similar manner. We have incurred an accumulated deficit of $19,601,039 through June 30, 2018 and there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitability.

Management Discussion and Analysis of financial condition

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statement as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis we review our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Although we had cash balances of $379,232 as of June 30, 2018, we have a history of annual losses from operations since inception and we have primarily funded our operations through sales of our unregistered equity securities. We have recently disposed of substantially all of our assets for $650,000 and simultaneously therewith acquired the entire shareholding of Ervington, for gross proceeds of $8,500,000. We are actively looking to acquire businesses in a similar field which may require substantial cash.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s interim Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who also serves as our interim principal financial and accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s interim CEO who also serves as our interim principal financial and accounting officer concluded that due to a lack of segregation of duties and insufficient controls over review and accounting for certain complex transactions, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018 were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, was recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s interim CEO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Once we acquire a new business, we intend to retain additional individuals to remedy the ineffective controls. However, we cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting, as modified, will enable us to identify or avoid material weaknesses in the future.

(b)

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
