John D. Oil and Gas Company, formerly Liberty Self-Stor, Inc. (the “Company”), is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Maryland.
The Company is in the business of acquiring, exploring, developing, and producing oil and natural gas in Northeast Ohio. The Company currently has fifty-eight producing wells. The Company cannot guarantee success under its business plan as drilling wells for oil and natural gas is a high-risk enterprise and there is no guarantee the Company will become profitable.
The Company also still retains one self storage facility located in Painesville, Ohio. The self-storage facility is operated through a partnership agreement between Liberty Self-Stor Ltd. (“Ltd”) and the Company. Liberty Self Stor, Ltd’s interest in LSS I Limited Partnership (LSS I) is reflected as a non-controlling interest in these consolidated financial statements. Due to the losses incurred by the self-storage facilities, current and previously owned, the initial investment was previously written off. The Company may, if business and time warrant, sell the Painesville facility in the future.
