SARATOGA RESOURCES, INC.

FORM 10-K/A


Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Saratoga Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2013 as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2014 (the “Original Filing”).

This Form 10-K/A amends the Original Filing solely to include the “Reserve Report of Independent Engineer – Collarini Associates” which was omitted as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Filing. The report is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. This Form 10-K/A also amends Item 15 of Part IV to include new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because this Form 10-K/A includes no financial statements, we are not including certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Except for the amendment described above, we have not modified or updated disclosures presented in the Original Filing in this Form 10-K/A. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Therefore, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with any documents incorporated by reference therein and our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the Original Filing.
