PART I
ITEM 1.    Business.
 
Business Development
 
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on January 9, 2001 under the name Delta Oil & Gas, Inc. We are engaged in the exploration, development, acquisition and operation of oil and gas properties. Because oil and gas exploration and development requires significant capital and our assets and resources are limited, we participate in the oil and gas industry through the purchase of minority interests in either producing wells or oil and gas exploration and development projects.
 
Business of Delta
 
We are an exploration company focused on developing North American oil and natural gas reserves. Our current focus is on the exploration of our land portfolio comprised of working interests in acreage in Palmetto Point, Mississippi; Southern Saskatchewan, Canada; the Southern Alberta Foothills area in Canada; and South Central, Oklahoma.
 
Todd Creek Prospect and Hillspring Prospect
 
On November 26, 2004, through our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Delta Oil & Gas (Canada), Inc., we entered into two agreements (the "Agreements") with Win Energy Corporation, ("Win Energy"), an Alberta based oil & gas exploration company, in order to acquire an interest in leases owned by Win Energy. On or about January 25, 2005, we paid Win Energy the full purchase price set forth in the Agreements and acquired a 20% working interest in a property known as Todd Creek and a 10% working interest in a property known as Hillspring. Both properties are located approximately 90 miles south of Calgary, Alberta in the Southern Alberta Foothills belt.
 
Todd Creek Prospect
 
On January 25, 2005, we acquired a 20% working interest in 13.75 sections of land (8,800 acres) in Todd Creek for the purchase price of $597,263 from Win Energy.  Included in the acquisition was a test well that has been drilled and cased. Under the terms of this agreement, Win has assumed all costs of drilling and completing or abandoning the test well up to gross costs of $1,330,000. Thereafter, we will assume responsibility for 20% of all costs, risks, and expenses relating to the test well.  During the second quarter of 2007, we paid a cash call of $258,139 as our share of costs for the proposed drilling program.
 
During the second quarter of 2005, a well located in Todd Creek property was drilled to a specifically targeted depth. This well is located in 13-28-9-2W5 in Alberta, Canada (the “13-28 well”) and it was evaluated and tested. The operator encountered gas reservoirs and this well was tied into a newly constructed gas processing plant and production commenced in September 2006.  The revenue received from this well was $18,088 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
Our monthly costs related to our interest in the 13-28 well exceeded the royalties we received and as a result, we abandoned our interest in this well in the fourth quarter of 2007.
 
In October 2006, we completed the drilling of a second well in the Todd Creek Prospect located in 13-33-8-2 in Alberta, Canada (the “13-33 well”) at a cost of $314,954.  Independent reserves reports we commissioned indicated that no economic hydrocarbons were present.  As a result, the 13-33 well was plugged and abandoned.
 
 Hillspring Prospect
 
On January 25, 2005, we acquired a 10% working interest in one section of land (640 acres) in Hillspring for the purchase price of $414,766 from Win Energy. We previously had anticipated that a test well would have been drilled on our property interest during the second quarter of 2008, but no date has been scheduled at the present time.
 


Strachan Prospect
 
On September 23, 2005, we entered into the Farmout Agreement with Odin Capital Inc. (“Odin Capital”), a Calgary, Alberta corporation. A former member of our board of directors, Mr. Philipchuk, maintains a 50% ownership interest in Odin Capital. Odin Capital had the right to acquire an oil and gas leasehold interests in certain lands located in Section 9, Township 38, Range 9, West of the 5th Meridian, Alberta, Canada (“Section 9”) upon incurring expenditures for drilling and testing on the property. In exchange for us paying 4.0% of all costs associated with drilling, testing, and completing the test well on the property which we refer to as the Leduc formation test well, we will have earned:
 
 
  1.
in the Spacing Unit for the Earning Well:
 
 
(a)    
a 2.0% interest in the petroleum and natural gas below the base of the Mannville, excluding natural gas in the Leduc formation; and
 
 
(b)    
a 4.0% interest in the natural gas in the Leduc formation before payout, subject to payment of the Overriding Royalty which is convertible upon payout at royalty owners option to 50% of our Interest;
 
 
 2.
a 1.6% interest in the rights below the base of the Shunda formation in Section 10, Township 38, Range 9W5M; and
 
 
 3.
a 1.289% interest in the rights below the base of the Shunda formation in Section 15 and 16, Township 38, Range 9W5M, down to the base of the deepest formation penetrated.
 
On October 6, 2005, drilling commenced on the Leduc formation test well. Under the terms of the Farmout Agreement, we advanced 110% of the anticipated costs prior to drilling. The total costs advanced by us prior to drilling were $347,431. The well was drilled to the targeted depth of 13,650 feet.  During the three month period ended September 30, 2007, we paid additional drilling costs of $41,231 and have since incurred no additional drilling costs.
 
           Based on results indicating the presence of a potential gas well, the operator inserted casing into the total depth of the well in July 2006 and have committed to perform a full testing program. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, testing showed that no economic hydrocarbons were present, the well was abandoned and  the costs of $388,662 was transferred to the proven cost pool for depletion.
 
Palmetto Point Prospect - 12 Wells Phase - I
 
On February 21, 2006, we entered into an agreement with 0743608 B.C. Ltd., (“Assignor”), a British Columbia based oil and gas exploration company, in order to accept an assignment of the Assignor’s 10% gross working and revenue interest in a ten-well drilling program (the “Drilling Program”) to be undertaken by Griffin & Griffin Exploration L.L.C. (“Griffin Exploration”), a Mississippi based exploration company. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid the Assignor $425,000 as payment for the assignment of the Assignor’s 10% gross working and revenue interest in the Drilling Program. We also entered into a Joint Operating Agreement directly with Griffin Exploration on February 24, 2006.
 
The initial Drilling Program on ten wells on the acquired property interest was completed by Griffin Exploration. On August 4, 2006, we paid $70,000 to Griffin Exploration in exchange for our participation in an additional two well program, which has also been completed.  The prospect area owned or controlled by Griffin Exploration on which the wells were drilled is comprised of approximately 1,273 acres in Palmetto Point, Mississippi. All twelve wells have been drilled and currently seven wells are producing, we anticipate that three wells will be producing and are currently waiting to be tied into the pipeline, and two wells were not commercially viable and were plugged and abandoned. We refer to this drilling program as Palmetto Point Phase I.  Total revenue received from these wells for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $38,981, compared with $70,821 in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The decrease in revenue was caused by the ceasing of production in wells that had higher than expected water content; however, this was partially offset by an increase in commodity prices during the year.
 


In October 2007, as part of Palmetto Point Phase I, we drilled a well (the "PP F-12") on the prospect.  Subsequent testing revealed that the PP F-12 well contained oil reserves suitable for commercial production.  The PP F-12 well began producing on October 2, 2007.   This well is situated in what is known as the Belmont Lake Oil Field.  Based on the positive results from the PP F-12 well, the operator suggested drilling an additional two development wells in the immediate vicinity in which we would participate.  In November 2007, we participated in the drilling of a step-out well from the PP F-12 (the “PP F-12 #2”).  This well was drilled to total depth, logged, tested and cased.   The PP F-12 #2 encountered approximately three feet of hydrocarbon showings and as such the operator recommended re-entering the well and directionally drilling on an angle toward the PP F-12.  Upon completion and testing of this re-entry (the “PP F-12 #2-3”), the operator encountered approximately 32 feet of hydrocarbon pay and the well was connected to a nearby pipeline and is currently producing oil.  Total revenue received from these two oil wells was $101,992 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $57,964 for the prior year ended December 31, 2007.  The increase in revenue was caused by the addition of a second offset well and an increase in commodity prices during the year.  The revenue generated from, these wells has been less than we anticipated as a result of an approximate four month halt in production of these wells during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 due to the flooding of the Mississippi basin where these wells are located.
 
Palmetto Point Prospect - 50 wells – Phase II
 
During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006, we entered into a joint venture agreement to acquire an interest in a drilling program comprised of up to fifty natural gas and/or oil wells. The area in which the wells are being drilled is approximately 300,000 gross acres located between Southwest Mississippi and Northeastern Louisiana. Drilling commenced in September 2006. The site of the first twenty wells is located within range to tie into existing pipeline infrastructure should the wells be suitable for commercial production. The drilling program was conducted by Griffin Exploration in its capacity as operator. We agreed to pay 10% of all prospect fees, mineral leases, surface leases, and drilling and completion costs to earn a net 8.0% share of all production zones to the base of a geological formation referred to as the Frio formation and 7.5% of all production to the base of a geological formation referred to as the Wilcox formation. The cost during the quarter ending September 30, 2006 amounted to $100,000. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, we made additional payments of $300,000 that was employed in the further development of prospects on lands in Mississippi and Louisiana in accordance with the terms of the operating agreement. We did not incur any additional payments other than drilling costs for these prospects in 2007.  We do not anticipate that we will incur any additional payments other than drilling costs for these prospects going forward.
 
           To date, we have drilled seven wells of which two have been abandoned (the Dixon #1 and the Randall #1).  Our costs attributable to these two abandoned wells was $67,523. Of the successful four wells, the Redbug #1, Redbug #2 and the Buffalo River #1 began producing in the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the Faust #1, is awaiting connection to the nearby pipeline for production. The revenue received from these wells for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $79,050 as compared to $13,045 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The increase in revenue was caused by ongoing production for the entire year ended December 31, 2008, as opposed to partial production in 2007 as a result of production commencing during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and an increase in commodity prices during the year.
 
Wordsworth Prospect
 
On April 10, 2006, we entered into a farmout, option and participation letter agreement (“FOP Agreement”) where we acquired a 15% working interest in certain leasehold interests located in southeast Saskatchewan, Canada referred to as the Wordsworth area for the purchase price of $152,724. We are responsible for our proportionate share of the costs associated with drilling, testing, and completing the first test well on the property. In exchange for us paying our proportionate share of the costs associated with drilling, testing, and completing the first test well on the property, we earned a 15% working interest before payout and a 7.5% working interest after payout on the Wordsworth prospect. Payout refers to the return of our initial investment in the property. In addition, we also acquired an option to participate and acquire a working interest in a vertical test well drilled to 1200 meters to test the Mississippian (Alida) formation in LSD 13 of section 24, township 7, range 3 W2.  Our total costs as at December 31, 2007 was $222,649.
 

 


During June 2006, the first well was drilled to a horizontal depth of 2033 meters in the Wordsworth prospect. The initial drilling of this well and subsequent testing revealed that this well contained oil reserves suitable for commercial production. In June 2006, this initial well began producing as an oil well.  The revenue received from this well for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $104,989, as compared to $131,213 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The reduction in revenue was caused by the natural decline of reserves in the well; however, this was partially offset by the increase in commodity prices during the year.
 
           The second horizontal well was drilled in May 2007 at a cost of $198,152. Initial logs indicated hydrocarbon showings in an oil-bearing zone estimated to be approximately 770 feet in the horizontal section. However, due to the high water content in fluid removed from this well, the operator determined that it was not commercially productive and it was plugged and abandoned.
 
           In April 2008, the operator recommended re-entering the second horizontal well with a view to drilling horizontally in a different direction starting at the base of the vertical portion of that well. We elected to participate in this re-entry on the same terms and conditions as the previous wells.  This well was drilled at a cost of $33,812. No economic hydrocarbons were found and this well was plugged and abandoned.
 
 Owl Creek Prospect
 
On June 1, 2006, we entered into an Assignment Agreement with Brinx Resources, Ltd., (“Brinx Resources”), a Nevada oil & gas exploration company, in order to acquire a working interest in lands and leases owned by Brinx Resources. The purchase price of $300,000 for the assignment and options to acquire future interests has been paid in full. We paid a further $68,987 for our proportion of costs associated with the completion of the first well. The lands are located in Garvin and McClain counties in Oklahoma and we refer to the lands as the “Owl Creek Prospect.”
 
           Pursuant to the terms of the Assignment Agreement, we acquired a 20% working interest in an oil well drilled at the Owl Creek Prospect (the “Powell #2”).  The Powell #2 was drilled to total depth of 5,617 feet on May 18, 2006 and underwent testing. Based upon the positive result of the testing of the Powell #2, this well was completed and commercial production commenced in August 2006.  Under the terms of the Assignment Agreement, we are responsible for our proportionate share of the costs of completion and tie-in for production of the Powell #2 which was $68,987.  Initially, the Powell #2 began flowing oil and natural gas under its own pressure without the assistance of a pump.  Revenue generated from the Powell #2 for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $265,062, as compared to $481,584 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  In July 2008, the Company disposed of its holdings in Powell #2 and the surrounding area for $760,438.
 
           As part of the Assignment Agreement, we were granted an option to earn a 20% working interest in any future wells drilled on the 1,120 acres of land, which make up the Owl Creek Prospect. Lastly, we received an option to earn a 20% working interest in any future wells to be drilled on any land of mutual interest acquired by the Owl Creek participants in and around the same area. The working interest in future wells is earned by paying 20% of the costs of drilling and completing each additional well.  Prior to drilling, we are provided an invoice for the anticipated costs of each proposed well and given the option to participate.
 
Based upon the positive results of the Powell #2, an additional well (the “Isbill #1-36”) was drilled and reached targeted depth in September 2006. However, test results showed that the well was not commercially viable and it was plugged and abandoned in September 2006.  Costs of $80,738 were transferred to proved reserves and subsequently depleted in accordance with our accounting policy.
 
           In January 2007, we commenced drilling of another well (the “Isbill #2-36”). Our 20% working interest in the Isbill #2-36 cost $157,437 for both drilling and completion. The Isbill #2-36 was drilled to approximately 5,900 feet and encountered two potential pay zones and is a direct offset well to the Powell #2 which is currently producing.  The revenue received from the Isbill #2-36 for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $122,969, as compared to $141,042 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  In July 2008, the Company disposed of its holdings in Isbill #2-36 and the surrounding area for $549,388.
 


In July, 2008, we sold both the Powell #2 and Isbill #2-36 wells and all interest in the Owl Creek Prospect for gross proceeds of $1,309,826.  We realized a gain on sale of the property of $1,067,447.  We decided to dispose of the property based on the declining rates of production experienced by the operator and the reasonable offer for both wells and the surrounding lands of 1,120 acres.
 
 2006-3 Drilling Program
 
On April 17, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Ranken Energy Corporation (“Ranken Energy”) to participate in a five well drilling program in Garvin and Murray counties in Oklahoma (the “2006-3 drilling Program”).  The leases secured and/or lands to be pooled for this drilling program total approximately 820 net acres. We agreed to take a 10% working interest in this program. To date, we have paid the sum of $514,619.
 
Three wells drilled (the "Wolf #1-7", the "Loretta #1-22" and the “Ruggles #1-15") were deemed by the operator to not be commercially viable and as such, were plugged and abandoned.  The proportionate costs associated with these abandoned wells amounted to $244,989, which were moved to the proved properties cost pool for depletion.
 
Three other wells drilled (the “Elizabeth #1-25”, the “Plaster #1-1” and the “Dale #1 re-entry”) were deemed by the operator to be commercially viable and production casing was set in each.    The Elizabeth #1-25 located in the Meridian Prospect cost $99,129, the Plaster #1-1 located in the Plaster Prospect cost $116,581, and re-entry into the Dale #1 located in the Dale Prospect cost $18,150.  Subsequent to the completion of these wells, two remain economically viable at this time.  The Plaster #1 encountered hydrocarbon showings and is producing natural gas with amounts of associated oil as of January, 2008. The Dale #1 re-entry has been producing in the range of 2 to 3 barrels of oil per day. The Elizabeth #1-25 has been plugged and abandoned.  Total revenue received from these wells for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $46,923.  These two wells did not generate any revenue prior to 2008.
 
           The operator, Ranken Energy, is reviewing the productivity levels from these wells and may propose the drilling of additional wells in the Dale Prospect and the Crazy Horse Prospect.  We anticipate that we would participate in these wells to the same extent as in the original drilling program, which is a 10% working interest.
 
2007-1 Drilling Program - 3 Wells
 
On September 10, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Ranken Energy to participate in a three well drilling program in Garvin County, Oklahoma (the “2007-1 Drilling Program”).  We purchased a 20% working interest in the 2007-1 Drilling Program for $77,100. Drilling of the first and second wells (the “Pollock #1-35” and the “Hulsey #1”) has been completed in the N.E. Anitoch Prospect and the Washington Creek Prospect respectively.  The Pollock #1-35 did not prove to be commercially viable but the Hulsey #1 has been producing in the range of 50 to 60 barrels of oil per day with approximately 50 Mcf of natural gas per day.  Drilling of the third well in this drilling program (the “River #1”) was completed during the three months ended September 30, 2008.  River #1 commenced production and the total revenue received for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $79,897.  Hulsey #1-8 started producing during the first quarter of 2008 and the total revenue received for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $111,498.
 
Market for Our Products and Services
 
Each oil and gas working interest that we now own and those that we may later acquire a percentage of interest in will have an operator who will be responsible for marketing production.
 
The availability of a ready market for oil and gas and the prices of such oil and gas depend upon a number of factors which are beyond our control. These include, among other things:
 
•           the level of domestic production;
 
•           actions taken by foreign oil and gas producing nations;
 
•           the availability of pipelines with adequate capacity;
 
•           the availability and marketing of other competitive fuels;
 
•           fluctuating and seasonal demand for oil, gas and refined products; and
 
 
 
•           the extent of governmental regulation and taxation (under both present and future legislation) of the production, importation, refining, transportation, pricing, use and allocation of oil, gas, refined products and alternative fuels.
 
           In view of the many uncertainties affecting the supply and demand for crude oil, gas and refined petroleum products, it is not possible to predict accurately the prices or marketability of the gas and oil produced for sale.
 
Competition
 
The oil and natural gas industry is intensely competitive, and we compete with other companies that have greater resources. Many of these companies not only explore for and produce oil and natural gas, but also carry on midstream and refining operations and market petroleum and other products on a regional, national or worldwide basis. These companies may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural gas properties and exploratory prospects or define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit. In addition, these companies may have a greater ability to continue exploration activities during periods of low oil and natural gas market prices. Our larger or integrated competitors may be able to absorb the burden of existing, and any changes to, federal, state, local and tribal laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would adversely affect our competitive position. Our ability to acquire additional properties and to discover reserves in the future will be dependent upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. In addition, because we have fewer financial and human resources than many companies in our industry, we may be at a disadvantage in bidding for exploratory prospects and producing oil and natural gas properties.
 
Patents, Licenses, Trademarks, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements, or Labor Contracts
 
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.
 
Research and Development
 
We did not incur any research and development expenditures in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007.
 
Existing and Probable Governmental Regulation
 
We monitor and comply with current government regulations that affect our activities, although our operations may be adversely affected by changes in government policy, regulations or taxation. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain all of the necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out our exploration and development programs. It is not expected that any of these controls or regulations will affect our operations in a manner materially different than they would affect other natural gas and oil companies operating in the areas in which we operate.
 
United States Government Regulation
 
The United States federal government and various state and local governments have adopted laws and regulations regarding the protection of human health and the environment. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit by operators before drilling commences, prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness areas, wetlands, or where pollution might cause serious harm, and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from drilling operations, particularly with respect to operations in onshore and offshore waters or on submerged lands. These laws and regulations may increase the costs of drilling and operating wells. Because these laws and regulations change frequently, the costs of compliance with existing and future environmental regulations cannot be predicted with certainty.
 
The transportation and certain sales of natural gas in interstate commerce are heavily regulated by agencies of the federal government. Production of any oil and gas by properties in which we have an interest will be affected to some degree by state regulations. States have statutory provisions regulating the production and sale of oil and gas, including provisions regarding deliverability. Such statutes and the regulations are generally intended to prevent waste of oil and gas and to protect correlative rights to produce oil and gas between owners of a common reservoir.
 


State regulatory authorities may also regulate the amount of oil and gas produced by assigning allowable rates of production to each well or pro-ration unit.
 
Any exploration or production on Federal land will have to comply with the Federal Land Management Planning Act which has the effect generally of protecting the environment. Any exploration or production on private property whether owned or leased will have to comply with the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act. The cost of complying with environmental concerns under any of these acts varies on a case by case basis. In many instances the cost can be prohibitive to development. Environmental costs associated with a particular project must be factored into the overall cost evaluation of whether to proceed with the project.
 
Canadian Government Regulation
 
The natural gas and oil industry is subject to extensive controls and regulations imposed by various levels of government. It is not expected that any of these controls or regulations will affect our operations in a manner materially different than they would affect other natural gas and oil companies of similar size.
 
Pricing and Marketing Natural Gas
 
In Canada, the price of natural gas sold in interprovincial and international trade is determined by negotiation between buyers and sellers. Natural gas exported from Canada is subject to regulation by the NEB and the Government of Canada. Exporters are free to negotiate prices and other terms with purchasers, provided that the export contracts continue to meet certain criteria prescribed by the NEB and the Government of Canada. Natural gas exports for a term of less than two years or for a term of two to 20 years (in quantities of not more than 30,000 m3/day) must be made pursuant to an NEB order. Any natural gas export to be made pursuant to a contract of longer duration (to a maximum of 25 years) or a larger quantity requires an exporter to obtain an export license from the NEB and the issue of such a license requires the approval of the Governor in Council.
 
The government of Alberta also regulates the volume of natural gas that may be removed from the province for consumption elsewhere based on such factors as reserve availability, transportation arrangements and market considerations.
 
Royalties and Incentives
 
           In addition to federal regulation, each province has legislation and regulations that govern land tenure, royalties, production rates, environmental protection and other matters. The royalty regime is a significant factor in the profitability of natural gas and oil production. Royalties payable on production from lands other than Crown lands are determined by negotiations between the mineral owner and the lessee. Crown royalties are determined by government regulation and are generally calculated as a percentage of the value of the gross production, and the rate of royalties payable generally depends in part on prescribed reference prices, well productivity, geographical location, field discovery date and the type or quality of the petroleum product produced.
 
Land Tenure
 
Crude natural gas and oil located in the western provinces is owned predominantly by the respective provincial governments. Provincial governments grant rights to explore for and produce natural gas and oil pursuant to leases, licenses and permits for varying terms from two years and on conditions set forth in provincial legislation including requirements to perform specific work or make payments. Natural gas and oil located in such provinces can also be privately owned and rights to explore for and produce such natural gas and oil are granted by lease on such terms and conditions as may be negotiated.
 
Compliance with Environmental Laws
 
We did not incur any costs in connection with the compliance with any federal, state, or local environmental laws. However, costs could occur at any time through industrial accident or in connection with a terrorist act or a new project. Costs could extend into the millions of dollars for which we could be totally liable. In the event of liability, we believe we would be entitled to contribution from other owners so that our percentage share of a particular project would be the percentage share of our liability on that project. However, other owners may not
 


be willing or able to share in the cost of the liability. Even if liability is limited to our percentage share, any significant liability would wipe out our assets and resources.
 
Employees
 
We have no employees other than our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Douglas N. Bolen, and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Kulwant Sandher.

Risk Factors
 
Risks Associated With Our Business

Operational Risks of Delta

Because we have experienced significant losses since inception, it is uncertain when, if ever, we will have significant operating income or cash flow from operations sufficient to sustain operations.

We suffered net losses since our inception, including net losses of $215,826 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and $2,249,959 for the year ended December 31, 2007. These losses are the result of an inadequate revenue stream to compensate for our operating and overhead costs. The volatility underlying the early stage nature of our business and our industry prevents us from accurately predicting future operating conditions and results, and we could continue to have losses. It is uncertain when, if ever, we will have significant operating income or cash flow from operations sufficient to sustain operations. If cash needs exceed available resources additional capital may not be available through public or private equity or debt financings. If we are unable to arrange new financing on terms that are acceptable to us or generate sufficient revenue from our prospects, we will be unable to continue in our current form and our business will fail.

If we are unable to obtain additional funding, we may be unable to expand our acquisition, exploration and production of natural oil and gas properties.

We will require additional funds to expand our acquisition, exploration and production of natural oil and gas properties. Our management anticipates that current cash on hand may be insufficient to fund our operations at the current level for the next twelve months. Additional capital will be required to effectively expand our operations through the acquisition and drilling of new prospects and implement our overall business strategy. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct current business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when sought, we will be unable to acquire additional properties and may also be required to curtail our business plan. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.

Because we cannot control activities on our properties, we may experience a reduction or forfeiture of our interests in some of our non-operated projects as a result of our potential failure to fund capital expenditure requirements.

We do not operate the properties in which we have a working interest and we have limited ability to exercise influence over operations for these properties or their associated costs. Our dependence on the operator and other working interest owners for these projects and our limited ability to influence operations and associated costs


could materially adversely affect the realization of our returns on capital in drilling or acquisition activities and our targeted production growth rate. The success and timing of drilling, development and exploitation activities on properties operated by others depend on a number of factors that are beyond our control, including the operator’s expertise and financial resources, approval of other participants for drilling wells and utilization of technology. In addition, if we are not willing or able to fund our capital expenditures relating to such projects when required by the majority owner or operator, our interests in these projects may be reduced or forfeited.

If we are unable to successfully identify, execute or effectively integrate new prospects, our results of operations may be negatively affected.

Acquisitions of working interests in oil and gas properties have been an important element of our business, and we will continue to pursue acquisitions of new prospects in the future. In the last year, we have pursued and consummated the acquisition and drilling of new prospects that have provided us opportunities to grow our production and reserves. Although we regularly engage in discussions with, and submit proposals to, acquisition candidates, suitable acquisitions may not be available in the future on reasonable terms. If we do identify an appropriate acquisition candidate, we may be unable to successfully negotiate the terms of an acquisition, finance the acquisition or, if the acquisition occurs, effectively integrate the acquired business into our existing business. Negotiations of potential acquisitions and the integration of acquired business operations may require a disproportionate amount of management’s attention and our resources. Even if we complete additional acquisitions, continued acquisition financing may not be available or available on reasonable terms, any new properties may not generate revenues comparable to our existing properties, the anticipated cost efficiencies or synergies may not be realized and these properties may not be integrated successfully or operated profitably. The success of any acquisition will depend on a number of factors, including the ability to estimate accurately the recoverable volumes of reserves, rates of future production and future net revenues attainable from the reserves and to assess possible environmental liabilities. Our inability to successfully identify, execute or effectively integrate future acquisitions may negatively affect our results of operations. Even though we perform a due diligence review (including a review of title and other records) of the properties we seek to acquire that we believe is consistent with industry practices, these reviews are inherently incomplete. Even an in-depth review of records and properties may not necessarily reveal existing or potential problems or permit us to become familiar enough with the properties to assess fully their deficiencies and potential. Even when problems are identified, we may assume certain environmental and other risks and liabilities in connection with the acquired properties. The discovery of any material liabilities associated with our acquisition of Stallion could harm our results of operations. In addition, acquisitions of working interests may require additional debt or equity financing, resulting in additional leverage or dilution of ownership.

Because our chief executive officer does not have any significant training and/or experience in oil and natural gas exploration, development, acquisition and production, our financial success could suffer irreparable harm as a result of his decisions and choices.

Mr. Douglas N. Bolen, our chief executive officer, does not have any significant training or experience with oil and natural gas exploration, development, acquisition and production. With no direct training or experience in these areas, our chief executive officer may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within this industry. Our management’s decisions and choices may fail to take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches oil and gas companies commonly utilize. Consequently, our operations, earnings, and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management’s lack of experience in this industry.

Because our executive officers do not provide services on a full-time basis, they may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operations, causing our business to fail.

Mr. Bolen, our chief executive officer, and Mr. Sandher, our chief financial officer, do not provide services to us on a full-time basis. We do not maintain key man life insurance policies for our executive officers. Currently, we do not have any employees other than our executive officers. If the demands of our business require the full business time of Messrs. Bolen and Sandher, it is possible that Messrs. Bolen and/or Sandher may not be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business, as and when needed. If our management is unable to devote a sufficient amount of time to manage our operations, our business will fail.



Because our directors and officers may serve as directors or officers of other companies, they may have a conflict of interest in making decisions for our business.

Our directors and officers may serve as directors or officers of other companies or have significant shareholdings in other oil and gas companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors and officers may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation.  In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms.  In determining whether or not we will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by us, our directors will primarily consider the degree of risk to which we may be exposed and our financial position at that time.

Because our auditor has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, our business has a high risk of failure.

As noted in our financial statements, we have only recently commenced operations. The audit report of STS Partners LLP, Chartered Accountants issued a going concern opinion and raised substantial doubt as to our continuance as a going concern. When an auditor issues a going concern opinion, the auditor has substantial doubt that the company will continue to operate indefinitely and not go out of business and liquidate its assets. This is a significant risk to investors who purchase shares of our common stock because there is an increased risk that we may not be able to generate and/or raise enough resources to remain operational for an indefinite period of time. The success of our business operations depends upon our ability to obtain additional capital for obtaining producing oil and gas properties through either the purchase of producing wells or successful exploration activity. We plan to seek additional financing through debt and/or equity financing arrangements to secure funding for our operations. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. It is not possible at this time for us to predict with assurance the outcome of these matters. If we are not able to successfully complete the development of our business plan and attain sustainable profitable operations, then our business will fail.

Because we presently do not carry liability or title insurance on any of our properties and do not plan to secure any in the future, we are vulnerable to excessive potential claims and loss of title.

We do not maintain insurance against public liability, environmental risks or title on any of our properties. The possibility exists that title to existing properties or future prospective properties may be lost due to an omission in the claim of title. As a result, any claims against us may result in liabilities we will not be able to afford resulting in the failure of our business.

The laws of the State of Colorado and our Articles of Incorporation may protect our directors from certain types of lawsuits.

The laws of the State of Colorado provide that our directors will not be liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as directors of the company. Our articles of incorporation permit us to indemnify our directors and officers against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing shareholders from recovering damages against our directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require us to use our limited assets to defend our directors and officers against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.



Market Risks

Our stock price may be volatile and as a result you could lose all or part of your investment.

In addition to volatility associated with over the counter securities in general, the value of your investment could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our common stock:

•           changes in the worldwide price for oil and gas;

•           disappointing results from our exploration or development efforts;

•           failure to meet our revenue or profit goals or operating budget;

•           decline in demand for our common stock;

•           downward revisions in securities analysts’ estimates or changes in general market conditions;

•           technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies;

•           investor perception of our industry or our prospects; and

•           general economic trends.

In addition, stock markets generally have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations and the market prices of securities generally have been highly volatile. These fluctuations are often unrelated to operating performance of a company and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, investors may be unable to resell their shares at a fair price.

In the event that we are unable to successfully compete within our industry, we may not be able to achieve profitable operations.

We operate in the highly competitive areas of oil and natural gas exploration, development, acquisition and production. Factors that affect our ability to compete successfully in the marketplace include:

•           seeking to acquire desirable producing properties or new leases for future exploration;

•           the availability of funds and information relating to a property; and

•           marketing of oil and natural gas production.

Our competitors include major integrated oil companies, substantial independent energy companies, and affiliates of major interstate and intrastate pipelines and national and local natural gas gatherers, many of which possess greater financial and other resources than we do. If we are unable to successfully compete against our competitors, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected.

Numerous factors beyond our control could affect the marketability of oil and natural gas, so we may experience difficulty selling any oil and natural gas.

The availability of markets and the volatility of product prices are beyond our control and represent a significant risk. The marketability of our production depends upon the availability and capacity of natural gas gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities. The unavailability or lack of capacity of these systems and facilities could result in the shut-in of producing wells or the delay or discontinuance of development plans for properties. Our ability to generate revenue from oil and natural gas sales also depends on other factors beyond our control. These factors include:


 
•           the level of domestic production and imports of oil and natural gas;

•           the proximity of natural gas production to natural gas pipelines;

•           the availability of pipeline capacity;

•           the demand for oil and natural gas by utilities and other end users;

•           the availability of alternate fuel sources;

•           the effect of inclement weather, such as hurricanes;

•           state and federal regulation of oil and natural gas marketing; and

•           federal regulation of natural gas sold or transported in interstate commerce.

If these factors were to change dramatically, our ability to generate revenues from oil and natural gas sales or obtain favorable prices for our oil and natural gas could be adversely affected.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Because exploration, development and drilling efforts are subject to many risks, the operation of our wells may not be profitable or achieve our targeted returns.

Exploration, development, drilling and production activities are subject to many risks, including the risk that commercially productive reservoirs will not be discovered. We seek to acquire working interests in properties which we believe will result in projects that will add value over time. However, we cannot guarantee that all of our prospects will result in viable projects or that we will not abandon these properties. Additionally, we cannot guarantee that any undeveloped acreage we have an interest in will be profitably developed, that new wells drilled will be productive or that we will recover all or any portion of our investment in such acreage or wells. Drilling for oil and natural gas may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells but also from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net reserves to return a profit after deducting operating and other costs. In addition, wells that are profitable may not achieve our targeted rate of return. Our ability to achieve our target results are dependent upon the current and future market prices for crude oil and natural gas, costs associated with producing oil and natural gas and our ability to add reserves at an acceptable cost.

                Because our oil and natural gas reserve data is independently estimated, these estimates may still prove to be inaccurate.                
               
                Our reserve estimates are generated each year by the following independent consultants: Veazey & Associates, Thomas Engineering and Chapman Petroleum Engineering. In conducting their evaluations, these consultants evaluate our properties and independently develop proved reserve estimates. There are numerous uncertainties and risks that are inherent in estimating quantities of oil and natural gas reserves and projecting future rates of production and timing of development expenditures as many factors are beyond our control. Many factors and assumptions are incorporated into these estimates including: expected reservoir characteristics based on geological, geophysical and engineering assessments;

 
future production rates based on historical performance and expected future operating and investment activities;

 
future oil and gas prices and quality and location differentials; and

 
future development and operating costs.



Although we believe the independent consultant’s reserve estimates are reasonably based on the information available to them at the time they prepare their estimates, our actual results could vary materially from these estimated quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves (in the aggregate and for a particular location), production, revenues, taxes and development and operating expenditures. In addition, these estimates of reserves may be subject to downward or upward revision based upon production history, results of future exploration and development, prevailing oil and natural gas prices, operating and development costs and other factors.

Because our business is subject to operating hazards, our business may be adversely affected by the occurrence of any such hazards.

Our operations are subject to risks inherent in the oil and natural gas industry, such as:

•           unexpected drilling conditions including blowouts and explosions;

•           uncontrollable flows of oil, natural gas or well fluids;

•           equipment failures, fires or accidents;

•           pollution and other environmental risks; and

•           shortages in experienced labor or shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment.

These risks could result in substantial losses to us from injury and loss of life, damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage and suspension of operations. Our operations are also subject to a variety of operating risks such as adverse weather conditions and more extensive governmental regulation. These regulations may, in certain circumstances, impose strict liability for pollution damage or result in the interruption or termination of operations.

Risks Relating to our Common Stock

Trading on the over-the-counter bulletin board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.
 
Our common stock is quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board service of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (the “OTCBB”).  Trading in stock quoted on the OTCBB is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects.  This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance.  Moreover, the OTCBB is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTCBB is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq or a stock exchange like Amex.  Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of the shares.
 
Because our common stock is quoted and traded on the OTCBB, short selling could increase the volatility of our stock price.
 
Short selling occurs when a person sells shares of stock which the person does not yet own and promises to buy stock in the future to cover the sale.  The general objective of the person selling the shares short is to make a profit by buying the shares later, at a lower price, to cover the sale.  Significant amounts of short selling, or the perception that a significant amount of short sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock. In contrast, purchases to cover a short position may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of our common stock.  As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market.  If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time.  These transactions may be effected on the OTCBB or any other available markets or exchanges.  Such short selling if it were to occur could impact the value of our stock in an extreme and volatile manner to the detriment of our shareholders.



We may experience difficulties in the future in complying with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404.
 
We are required to evaluate our internal controls under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  Beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting.  Such report contains among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
 
If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls in future periods, it could adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and our ability to run our business effectively and could cause investors to lose confidence in our financial reporting.
 
We have never paid dividends and have no plans to in the future.
 
Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors.  To date, we have paid no cash dividends on our shares of common stock and we do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.  We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for operation of our business.  Therefore, any return investors in our common stock will have to be in the form of appreciation, if any, in the market value of their shares of common stock.
 
We have additional securities available for issuance, which, if issued, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.
 
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of our common stock and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  The common stock or preferred stock can be issued by our board of directors, without stockholder approval.  Any future issuances of our common stock would further dilute the percentage ownership of our common stock held by public stockholders.
 
If we issue shares of preferred stock with superior rights than our common stock, it could result in the decrease the value of our common stock and delay or prevent a change in control of us.

Our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our board of directors has the power to establish the dividend rates, liquidation preferences, voting rights, redemption and conversion terms and privileges with respect to any series of preferred stock. The issuance of any shares of preferred stock having rights superior to those of the common stock may result in a decrease in the value or market price of the common stock. Holders of preferred stock may have the right to receive dividends, certain preferences in liquidation and conversion rights. The issuance of preferred stock could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us without further vote or action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock.

Because the SEC imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in our shares that are penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade them. This means that you may have difficulty in reselling your shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. 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 in a form prepared by the SEC which 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. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

Indemnification of officers and directors.
 
Our articles of incorporation and the bylaws contain broad indemnification and liability limiting provisions regarding our officers, directors and employees, including the limitation of liability for certain violations of fiduciary duties.  Our stockholders therefore will have only limited recourse against such individuals.

Description of Our Property

Our principal executive offices are located at Suite 1600, 144 4th Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta T2P 3N4 and we pay $243 per month for this location.

Reported Reserves

Below are estimates of our net Proved Reserves and the present value of estimated future net revenues from such Reserves based upon the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to proved oil and gas reserves in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69, "Disclosures about Oil and Gas Producing Activities" (SFAS No. 69). The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is determined by using estimated quantities of Proved Reserves and the periods in which they are expected to be developed and produced based on period-end economic conditions. The estimated future production is priced at period-end prices, except where fixed and determinable price escalations are provided by contract. The resulting estimated future cash inflows are then reduced by estimated future costs to develop and produce reserves based on period-end cost levels. No deduction has been made for depletion, depreciation or for indirect costs, such as general corporate overhead. Present values were computed by discounting future net revenues by 10% per year.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
 
Revenues

We generated total revenue of $1,927,539 for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of approximately 111% from revenues of $913,808 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, $860,092 of the revenue we generated was attributable to natural gas and oil sales and $1,067,447 was attributable to a gain on the disposition of our working interest in the Owl Creek Prospect during the three months ended September 30, 2008.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, our revenue generated was entirely attributable to natural gas and oil sales.  The increase in total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2007, is attributable revenue of $1,067,447, which was recognized from the sale of our working interest in the Owl Creek Prospect during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The decrease in revenue generated from natural gas and oil sales for the year ended December 31, 2008, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2007, is primarily attributable our inability to recognize revenue for the entire 2008 fiscal year from the Owl Creek Prospect resulting from the sale of our working interest in this property during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Costs and Expenses

We incurred costs and expenses in the amount of $2,141,979 for the year ended December 31, 2008, a 32% decrease from costs and expenses of $3,185,239 for year ended December 31, 2007.

The decrease in costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008, when compared the year ended December 31, 2007, is primarily attributable to the following factors:

·  
General and administrative costs for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased to$222,269 from $1,375,933 for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of 78%.  The decrease in general and administrative costs was caused by a reduction in stock based compensation expense attributable to the issuances of stock options and shares of common stock.  Stock based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $47,700 as compared to $680,397 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Further reductions in administrative costs was due to foreign exchange gains increasing to $181,370 (December 31, 2007: $(184,136)) as the Canadian dollar weakened against the US dollar.



·  
Natural gas and oil operating costs for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased to $222,269 from $199,062 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of 12%. The increase in natural gas and oil operating costs is attributable to an increase in the number of new producing wells for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007.

·  
Depreciation and depletion expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased to $265,942 from $667,513 for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of 60%. The decrease in depreciation and depletion expense is attributable to the disposal of two wells and was partially offset by additional uneconomic wells that were moved to the proved property pool for depletion; and

·  
Impairment of natural gas and oil properties expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased to $1,393,687 from $936,584 for the year ended December 31, 2007, an increase of 49%.  The substantial increase in impairment of natural gas and oil properties expense for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007, is attributable to the impairment of our working interests in the Company’s prospects resulting from our third party evaluation that the costs associated with these prospects are highly unlikely to be recovered based on the commodity price prevalent at December 31, 2008.

Net Operating Loss

The net operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $214,440, compared to a net operating loss of $2,271,431 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Other Income and Expense

We reported other net income of $2,009 for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to other income of $37,052 in the year ended December 31, 2007. Other expenses were attributable to interest expenses for a note payable which was paid in full during the reporting period.

Net Loss

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $215,826, compared to a net loss of $2,249,959 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The reduction in loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 was attributable to an increase in revenues from new and existing wells, a reduction in operating expenses and the sale of the Owl Creek Prospect.

There are material events and uncertainties which could cause our reported financial information to not to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.  Our inability to successfully identify, execute or effectively integrate future acquisitions may negatively affect our results of operations.  The success of any acquisition depends on a number of factors beyond our control, including the ability to estimate accurately the recoverable volumes of reserves, rates of future production and future net revenues attainable from the reserves and to assess possible environmental liabilities.  Drilling for oil and natural gas may also involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells but also from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net reserves to return a profit after deducting operating and other costs. In addition, wells that are profitable may not achieve our targeted rate of return.  Our ability to achieve our target results are also dependent upon the current and future market prices for crude oil and natural gas, costs associated with producing oil and natural gas and our ability to add reserves at an acceptable cost.  We do not operate the properties in which we have an interest and we have limited ability to exercise influence over operations for these properties or their associated costs.  Our dependence on the operator and other working interest owners for these projects and our limited ability to influence operations and associated costs could materially adversely affect the realization of our returns on capital in drilling or acquisition activities and our targeted production growth rate. As a result, our historical results should not be indicative of future operations.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2008, we had total current assets of $1,057,369 and total current liabilities in the amount of $50,157.  As a result, we had working capital of $1,007,212 as of December 31, 2008.

The revenue we currently generate from natural gas and oil sales does not exceed our operating expenses.  As such, we will require additional financing activities including issuance of our equity or debt securities to fund our operations and proposed drilling activities beyond the year ended December 31, 2008.  During the three months March 31, 2008, we received $90,000 from financing activities involving loan issuance.  We repaid this loan during the quarter ended September 30, 2008, including interest charges of $5,016.  We received $0 from financing activities involving share issuances for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to $45,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

We will require additional funds to expand our acquisition, exploration and production of natural oil and gas properties.  Our management also anticipates that the current cash on hand may not be sufficient to fund our continued operations at the current level for the next twelve months.  Additional capital will be required to effectively expand our operations through the acquisition and drilling of new prospects and to implement our overall business strategy.  It is uncertain whether we will be able to obtain financing when sought or obtain it on terms acceptable to us.  If we are unable to obtain additional financing, the full implementation of our ability to expand our operations will be impaired.  Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Operating activities generated $445,122 in cash for the year ending December 31, 2008, compared to $90,830 in cash used for operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Our positive cash flow for the year ending December 31, 2008 was caused by the redemption of certain cash equivalents.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities for the year ending December 31, 2008 was $596,614, compared to $1,551,813 cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Our positive cash flow for the year ending December 31, 2008 was primarily caused by sale proceeds of natural gas and oil working interests in the amount of $1,309,826.

Cash from Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the year ending December 31, 2008 primarily consisted of $(132,289) related to the cost of registration of shares under Form S-4, compared to $45,000 in cash received from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The underlying drivers that resulted in material changes and the specific inflows and outflows of cash for the year ending December 31, 2008 are as follows:

·  
Revenue received as a result of royalties from natural gas and oil producing properties;
 
·  
Property acquisition costs; and
 
·  
Sale of the Owl Creek Prospect.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet debt nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have material current or future effect on financial conditions, changes in the financial conditions, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses..
 


Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have incurred a net loss of $3,573,762 since inception.  To achieve profitable operations, we require additional capital for obtaining producing oil and gas properties through either the purchase of producing wells or successful exploration activity.  We believe that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding to meet our business objectives, including anticipated cash needs for working capital and are currently evaluating several financing options.  However, there can be no assurances offered in this regard.  As a result of the foregoing, there exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis.  The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe that the following accounting policies fit this definition.
 
Oil and Gas Joint Ventures

All exploration and production activities are conducted jointly with others and, accordingly, the accounts reflect only our proportionate interest in such activities.

Natural Gas and Oil Properties

We account for our oil and gas producing activities using the full cost method of accounting as prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Accordingly, all costs associated with the acquisition of properties and exploration with the intent of finding proved oil and gas reserves contribute to the discovery of proved reserves, including the costs of abandoned properties, dry holes, geophysical costs, and annual lease rentals are capitalized.  All general corporate costs are expensed as incurred. In general, sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recorded.  Amortization of evaluated oil and gas properties is computed on the units of production method based on all proved reserves on a country-by-country basis.  Unevaluated oil and gas properties are assessed at least annually for impairment either individually or on an aggregate basis.  The net capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties (full cost ceiling limitation) are not to exceed their related estimated future net revenues from proved reserves discounted at 10%, and the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties, net of tax considerations.  These properties are included in the amortization pool immediately upon the determination that the well is dry.

Unproved properties consist of lease acquisition costs and costs on well currently being drilled on the properties.  The recorded costs of the investment in unproved properties are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until they are impaired.

 
Revenue Recognition

Revenue from sales of crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products are recorded when deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the commodity transfers to the customers. Title transfers for crude oil, natural gas and bulk refined products generally occur at pipeline custody points or when a tanker lifting has occurred.  Revenues from the production of oil and natural gas properties in which we share an undivided interest with other producers are recognized based on the actual volumes sold by us during the period.  Gas imbalances occur when our actual sales differ from its entitlement under existing working interests.  We record a liability for gas imbalances when we have sold more than our working interest of gas production and the estimated remaining reserves make it doubtful that the partners can recoup their share of production from the field.  At December 31, 2008 and 2007, we had no overproduced imbalances.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”. This statement replaces SFAS 141 and defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities –an Amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the Non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our future financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”), which is effective January 1, 2009.  SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities to allow for a better understanding of their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  Among other things, SFAS 161 requires disclosures of the fair values of derivative instruments and associated gains and losses in a tabular formant.  SFAS 161 is not currently applicable to us since we do not have derivative instruments or hedging activity.

In May 8, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 162, the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which will provide framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities.  With the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy for nongovernmental entities will move from auditing literature to accounting literature.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.
 
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 03-6-1, determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities (“FSP EITF No. 03-6-1”).  Under FSP EITF No. 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and should be included in the two-class method of computing EPS. FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years, and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Based on their evaluation as of December 31, 2008, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including this Annual Report, were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and was accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
·  
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
 
·  
Provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
 
·  
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In connection with the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.  Based on our assessment using those criteria, management believes that, as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
 

 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Audit Committee
 
We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee.  The entire Board of Directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the Board when performing the functions of that would generally be performed by an audit committee.  The Board approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting.  In addition, the Board reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.
 
For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, the Board:
 
·  
Reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management, and
 
·  
Reviewed and discussed the written disclosures and the letter from our independent auditors on the matters relating to the auditor's independence.
 
Based upon the Board’s review and discussion of the matters above, the Board authorized inclusion of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 to be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Board of Directors determined that Mr. Sandher qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 
Director Independence

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of our common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission reports of ownership of, and transactions in, our securities and to provide us with copies of those filings. To our knowledge, based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2008, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with, with the following exceptions: Messrs. Bolen and Sandher each failed to file a Form 4 in a timely fashion during fiscal year 2008.

Represents the expense for stock options, as indicated, recognized by the Company in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 123(R) (“FAS 123(R)”), which requires that compensation cost relating to share-based awards be recognized in the financial statements.  The cost is measured based on the fair value of the awards.  The values set forth in this column represent the dollar amounts recognized in accordance with FAS 123(R), disregarding the estimate of forfeitures for service-based vesting conditions.  The expense recognized by the employer in accordance with FAS 123(R) may differ from the value that will eventually be realized by the named executive officers, which will be based on the market value of the common stock at the time of vesting of restricted shares or at the time of the exercise of stock options.  The named executive officers will realize value in connection with the stock options only if and to the extent the price of the common stock exceeds the exercise price of the stock options at such time as the officers exercise the stock options.  The assumptions used to determine the FAS 123(R) values are described in Note 2 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Delta Oil & Gas, Inc.  No stock options were granted to named executive officers in 2008.


Compensation Components.

Mr. Bolen and Mr. Sandher each received remuneration for services rendered during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 indirectly through compensation paid to a company under their exclusive control.
 
           On March 1, 2006, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Last Mountain Management, Inc. (“LMM”) to provide consulting services to us. Mr. Bolen is the sole shareholder, officer, and director of LMM. The Consulting Agreement is effective for a period of one (1) year commencing March 1, 2006 and we have a right to cancellation anytime within any six month term. Under the terms of the Consulting Agreement, LMM is paid monthly compensation of $7,000 Canadian dollars plus applicable Canadian Good and Services Tax. The total cash compensation paid to LMM during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 was $89,947.  This compensation is ncluded in the summary compensation table above in “Salary.” Under the terms of the Consulting Agreement, LMM was issued 500,000 shares of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2008. The aggregate fair value of these shares was computed in accordance with FAS 123R and is reported in the summary compensation table above in the column titled “Stock Awards.”
 
           On January 1, 2008, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Hurricane Corporate Services Ltd. (“Hurricane”) to provide consulting services to us. Mr. Sandher is the sole shareholder, officer, and director of Hurricane.

            Bonuses. At this time, we do not compensate our executive officers by the payment of bonus compensation.
 
Stock Options. Stock option awards are determined by the Board of Directors based on numerous factors, some of which include responsibilities incumbent with the role of each executive to the Company and tenure with the Company.  We did not grant any stock options to our executive officers during 2008.
 
At no time during the last fiscal year was any outstanding option repriced or otherwise modified. There was no tandem feature, reload feature, or tax-reimbursement feature associated with any of the stock options we granted to our executive officers or otherwise.

Stock Option Plans
 
On January 3, 2005, our Board adopted the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”). The Stock Incentive Plan authorizes us to reserve shares for future grants under it, of which 5,249,512 shares remain available for issuance.
 
The Stock Incentive Plan authorizes us to grant (i) to the key employees incentive stock options to purchase shares of common stock and non-qualified stock options to purchase shares of common stock and restricted stock awards, and (ii) to non-employee directors and consultants’ non-qualified stock options and restricted stock. The Plan Administrator will administer the Plan by making recommendations to the board or determinations regarding the persons to whom options or restricted stock should be granted and the amount, terms, conditions and restrictions of the awards.
 
Incentive stock options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan must have an exercise price at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of grant. Incentive stock options granted to any person who owns, immediately after the grant, stock possessing more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock, or of any parent or subsidiary corporation, must have an exercise price at least equal to 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Non-statutory stock options may have exercise prices as determined by the Plan Administrator.
 
The Plan Administrator is also authorized to grant restricted stock awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. A restricted stock award is a grant of shares of the common stock that is subject to restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions and that may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of employment or service prior to the end of a restricted period specified by the Plan Administrator
 
Compensation of Directors
 
Our executive officers who also serve as members of our board of directors do not receive any compensation for serving on the board of directors.  In 2008, our board of directors was comprised of Mr. Douglas Bolen and Mr. Kulwant Sandher, each of whom also serve as executive officers   The compensation arrangements for Messrs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Delta Oil & Gas, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Delta Oil & Gas, Inc. (the “Company”) (a Development Stage Company) as at December 31, 2008 and 2007, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from inception on January 9, 2001 through to December 31, 2008.  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 Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 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.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Delta Oil & Gas, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from inception on January 9, 2001 through to December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1(b) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations since inception.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1(b).  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Delta Oil & Gas, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated as a Colorado corporation on January 9, 2001.

The Company is a development stage, independent natural gas and oil company engaged in the exploration, development and acquisition of natural gas and oil properties in the United States and Canada.  The Company’s entry into the natural gas and oil business began on February 8, 2001.

The Company is subject to several categories of risk associated with its development stage activities.  Natural gas and oil exploration and production is a speculative business, and involves a high degree of risk.  Among the factors that have a direct bearing on the Company’s prospects are uncertainties inherent estimating  natural gas and oil reserves, future hydrocarbon production, and cash flows, particularly with respect to wells that have not been fully tested and with wells having limited production histories; access to additional capital; changes in the price of natural gas and oil; availability and cost of services and equipment; and the presence of competitors with greater financial resources and capacity.

The oil and gas industry is subject, by its nature, to environmental hazards and clean-up costs.  At this time, management knows of no substantial costs from environmental accidents or events for which the Company may be currently liable.  In addition, the Company’s oil and gas business makes it vulnerable to changes in prices of crude oil and natural gas.  Such prices have been volatile in the past and can be expected to be volatile in the future.  By definition, proved reserves are based on current oil and gas prices and estimated reserves.  Price declines reduce the estimated quantity of proved reserves and increase annual depletion expense (which is based on proved reserves).

b)    Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $3,573,762 since inception.  To achieve profitable operations, the Company requires additional capital for obtaining producing oil and gas properties through either the purchase of producing wells or successful exploration activity.  Management believes that sufficient funding will be available to meet its business objectives including anticipated cash needs for working capital and is currently evaluating several financing options.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of its properties and, if successful, to commence the sale of its projects under development.  As a result of the foregoing, there exists substantial doubt the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2.           SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a)  Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Delta Oil & Gas (Canada) Inc.  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

2.           SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

b)  Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Significant estimates with regard to these financial statements include the estimate of proved natural gas and oil reserve quantities and the related present value of estimated future net cash flows there from.

c)  Natural Gas and Oil Properties

The Company accounts for its oil and gas producing activities using the full cost method of accounting as prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Accordingly, all costs associated with the acquisition of properties and exploration with the intent of finding proved oil and gas reserves contribute to the discovery of proved reserves, including the costs of abandoned properties, dry holes, geophysical costs, and annual lease rentals are capitalized.  All general corporate costs are expensed as incurred.  In general, sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recorded.  Amortization of evaluated oil and gas properties is computed on the units of production method based on all proved reserves on a country-by-country basis.  The net capitalized costs of evaluated oil and gas properties (full cost ceiling limitation) are not to exceed their related estimated future net revenues from proved reserves discounted at 10%, and the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties, net of tax considerations.  These properties are included in the amortization pool immediately upon the determination that the well is dry.

Unproved properties consist of lease acquisition costs and costs on wells currently being drilled on the properties.  The recorded costs of the investment in unproved properties are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until they are impaired.  Unevaluated oil and gas properties are assessed at least annually for impairment either individually or on an aggregate basis.

d)  Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (“SFAS 143”), “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which requires that asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset, including natural gas and oil properties, be recognized as liabilities in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated assets. The cost of tangible long-lived assets, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the assets. The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted cash flows are accreted to the expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate.

2.             SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

e)  Oil and Gas Joint Ventures

All exploration and production activities are conducted jointly with others and, accordingly, the accounts reflect only the Company’s proportionate interest in such activities.

f)  Revenue Recognition

Revenue from sales of crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products are recorded when deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the commodity transfers to the customers.  Title transfers for crude oil, natural gas and bulk refined products generally occur at pipeline custody points or when a tanker lifting has occurred.  Revenues from the production of oil and natural gas properties in which the Company shares an undivided interest with other producers are recognized based on the actual volumes sold by the Company during the period.  Gas imbalances occur when the Company’s actual sales differ from its entitlement under existing working interests.  The Company records a liability for gas imbalances when it has sold more than its working interest of gas production and the estimated remaining reserves make it doubtful that the partners can recoup their share of production from the field. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had no overproduced imbalances.

   g)    Cash and Cash Equivalent

Cash consists of cash on deposit with high quality major financial institutions, and to date has not experienced losses on any of its balances.  The carrying amounts approximated fair market value due to the liquidity of these deposits.  For purposes of the balance sheet and statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

h)    GIC Receivable

GIC Receivable is non-redeemable until April 24, 2008 and bears an interest rate of 3.80 % and was redeemed during the year.

i)    Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.  The Company maintains cash at one financial institution.  The Company periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of financial institutions, and maintains cash accounts only in large high quality financial institutions, thereby minimizing exposure for deposits in excess of federally insured amounts.  The Company believes credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents to be minimal.  Deposits are insured up to $82,102, the amount that may be subject to credit risk for the year ended December 31, 2008 is $898,560.

The Company has recorded trade accounts receivable from the business operations. Management periodically evaluates the collectability of the trade receivables and believes that the Company’s receivables are fully collectable and that the risk of loss is minimal.

j)  Environmental Protection and Reclamation Costs

The operations of the Company have been, and may be in the future be affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restorations costs.  Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company may vary from region to region and are not predictable.

2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation, by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.  Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs will be charged against statements of operations as incurred or  capitalized and amortized depending upon their future economic benefits.  The Company does not currently anticipate any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities because all property holdings are at early stages of exploration.  Therefore, estimated future removal and site restoration costs are presently considered minimal.

k)  Foreign Currency Translation

United States funds are considered the Company’s functional currency.  Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated into their United States dollar equivalents at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date.  Monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect exchange rates prevailing at that date, and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical rate of exchange.  Gains and losses arising from restatement of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at each year-end are included in other comprehensive income.

l)  Other Equipment

Computer equipment is stated at cost.  Provision for depreciation on computer equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of three years.

m)  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the costs of long-lived assets, other than oil and gas properties, may be impaired, and evaluation of recoverability would be performed.  If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset would be compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow value is required.  Impairment of oil and gas properties is evaluated subject to the full cost ceiling as described under Natural Oil and Gas Properties.

n)  Loss Per Share

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS 128”).  Under SFAS 128, basic and diluted earnings per share are to be presented.  Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period.  Diluted earnings per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive common shares.

o)  Income Taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of (i) temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and their reported amounts in the financial statements, and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for tax purposes.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based upon management’s estimates, it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in a future period.

p)  Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, GIC receivable, accounts receivable, franchise tax prepaid, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and loan payable.

2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.  The fair value of these financial instruments is approximated to their carrying values.

q)      Comprehensive Loss

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. The Company is disclosing this information on its Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity and Consolidated Statement of Operations.

r)      Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payments,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB 107 relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).

SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations”. This statement replaces SFAS 141 and defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities –an Amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the Non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 161”), which is effective January 1, 2009.  SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities to allow for a better understanding of their effects on an entity’s

financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  Among other things, SFAS 161 requires disclosures of the fair values of derivative instruments and associated gains and losses in a tabular formant.
SFAS 161 is not currently applicable to the Company since the Company does not have derivative instruments or hedging activity.

In May 8, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 162, the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which will provide framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities.  With the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy for nongovernmental entities will move from auditing literature to accounting literature.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 03-6-1, determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities (“FSP EITF No. 03-6-1”).  Under FSP EITF No. 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and should be included in the two-class method of computing EPS. FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

5.             NATURAL GAS AND OIL EXPLORATION RISK

a)    Exploration Risk

The Company’s future financial condition and results of operations will depend upon prices received for its natural gas and oil production and the cost of finding, acquiring, developing and producing reserves.  Substantially all of its production is sold under various terms and arrangements at prevailing market prices.  Prices for natural gas and oil are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of other factors beyond its control.  Other factors that have a direct bearing on the Company’s prospects are uncertainties inherent in estimating natural gas and oil reserves and future hydrocarbon production and cash flows, particularly with respect to wells that have not been fully tested and with wells having limited production histories; access to additional capital; changes in the price of natural gas and oil; availability and cost of services and equipment; and the presence of competitors with greater financial resources and capacity.

b)    Distribution Risk

The Company is dependent on the operator to market any oil production from its wells and any subsequent production which may be received from other wells which may be successfully drilled on the Prospect.  It relies on the operator’s ability and expertise in the industry to successfully market the same.  Prices at which the operator sells gas/oil both in intrastate and interstate commerce; will be subject to the availability of pipe lines, demand and other factors beyond the control of the operator.  The Company and the operator believe any oil produced can be readily sold to a number of buyers.

c)  Credit Risk

A substantial portion of the Corporation’s accounts receivable is with joint venture partners in the oil and gas industry and is subject to normal industry credit risks.

d)  Foreign Operations Risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations, political risks, price controls and varying forms of fiscal regimes or changes thereto which may impair its ability to conduct profitable operations as it operates internationally and holds foreign denominated cash and other assets.

6.            INCOME TAXES PAYABLE

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes.  Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss, tax credit carry-forwards, and for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

The effective income tax rate for years ended December 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007 differs from the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate due to the following:

   
2008
   
2007
 
Federal statutory income tax rate
    (34.0 %)     (34.0 %)
State income taxes, net of federal benefit

The Canadian corporate tax rate for 2008 is 25%. The effective weighted average tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 is 34%.

A reconciliation of income taxes at statutory rates with the reported taxes is as follows:

   
2008
   
2007
 
Loss before income taxes
  $ (212,431 )   $ (2,234,379 )

Franchise tax
    3,395       15,580  
      3,395       15,580  

Significant components of the Company’s deferred income tax assets are as follows:

2007
 
Operating loss carry forwards
  $ 3,457,724     $ 3,248,398

Net deferred tax assets
  $ -     $ -  

The Company has approximately $3,457,724 (2007 - $3,248,398) of operating loss carry forwards which expire beginning in 2025.  The Company has natural gas and oil properties available to further reduce taxable income of $1,610,527.

The company has provided a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets given that it is in the development stage and it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized.

7.            ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Company follows SFAS 143 “Accounting for asset retirement obligations”.  SFAS 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.  SFAS 143 requires recognition of the present value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred.  As of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we recognized the future cost to plug and abandon the gas wells over the estimated useful lives of the wells in accordance with SFAS No. 143.  The liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation with a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related long-lived asset is recorded at the time a well is completed and ready for production.  The Company amortizes the amount added to the oil and gas properties and recognizes accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining life of the respective well.  The estimated liability is based on historical experience in plugging and abandoning wells, estimated useful lives based on engineering studies, external estimates as to the cost to plug and abandon wells in the future, and federal and state regulatory requirements.  The liability is a discounted liability using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 12%.

Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in plugging and abandonment costs, well useful lives or if federal or state regulators enact new guidance on the plugging and abandonment of wells.

The Company amortizes the amount added to oil and gas properties and recognizes accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining useful lives of the respective wells.

The following unaudited reserve estimates presented as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 were prepared by independent petroleum engineers.  There are many uncertainties inherent in estimating proved reserve quantities and in projecting future production rates and the timing of development expenditures.  In addition,  reserve  estimates of new discoveries that have  little  production  history  are  more  imprecise  than  those of properties with more production history.  Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available.

14.           UNAUDITED OIL AND GAS RESERVE QUANTITIES (continued)

Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil and natural gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions; i.e., process and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Proved developed oil and gas reserves are those reserves expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.

UNAUDITED STANDARIZED MEASURE

The following information has been developed utilizing procedures prescribed by SFAS 69 "Disclosures About Oil and Gas Producing Activities" and based on crude oil and natural gas reserves and production volumes estimated by the Company. It may be useful for certain comparison purposes, but should not be solely relied upon in evaluating the Company or its performance. Further, information contained in the following table should not be considered as representative or realistic assessments of future cash flows, nor should the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows be viewed as representative of the current value of the Company.

Future cash inflows were computed by applying year-end prices of oil and gas to the estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves. The future production and development costs represent the estimated future expenditures (based on current costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, assuming continuation of existing economic conditions. Future income tax expenses were computed by applying statutory income tax rates to the difference between pre-tax net cash flows relating to our proved oil and gas reserves and the tax basis of proved oil and gas properties and available net operating loss carry forwards. Discounting the future net cash inflows at 10% is a method to measure the impact of the time value of money.
