PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

History and Business.  Our name is Offshore Petroleum Corp. and we sometimes refer to ourselves in this prospectus as “Offshore Petroleum” or “Offshore”, the “Company” or as “we,” “our,” or “us.”  We are an oil and gas exploration company.  Our objective is to explore and, if warranted, develop the area covered by eight licenses for which we have applied to the Government of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas (the “Licenses”). The area is located in the offshore waters controlled by the Commonwealth of the Bahamas; as more fully described herein.  We were incorporated in the state of New York on September 8, 1999, under the name of Enviroclens Inc.  On January 23, 2007, the Company moved its jurisdiction and was incorporated in the State of Delaware.  On May 9, 2007, the Company changed its name to Offshore Petroleum Corp.

On November 30, 2009, the Company closed in escrow a Share Exchange Agreement to purchase two Cayman Island companies which will become wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Share Exchange Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Cayman companies to be acquired by Offshore are Atlantic Petroleum Ltd. (“Atlantic”) and Bahamas Exploration Limited (“Bahamas”).  Atlantic and Bahamas together are sometimes referred to herein as our “Subsidiaries.”  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, upon the breaking of escrow and completion of the closing, Offshore will release to the shareholders of the corporate parent of the Subsidiaries (a) 15 million common shares of Offshore and (b) a promissory note with a face amount of $1.5 million payable over a two-year term and bearing interest at 5%.  Upon such breaking of escrow and completion of the closing the Subsidiaries will be wholly owned by Offshore.  The Share Exchange Agreement is more fully described herein in the section entitled, “PROPERTIES – Share Exchange Agreement.”  The Subsidiaries each have applied to the Government of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas for certain rights to explore for oil and gas in territorial waters controlled by the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.  We refer to such exploration rights as the “Licenses.”  The Subsidiaries are seeking eight Licenses that are more fully described herein in the section herein entitled, “PROPERTIES – Licenses for Exploration.”  The geographic location and area covered by the Licenses (the “Licensed Areas”) and a description of the work that has been performed on the Licensed Areas is described herein in the section entitled, “PROPERTIES – Description of Licensed Areas”.  The closing of the Share Exchange Agreement is contingent upon certain closing conditions, including the granting of the Licenses by the Bahamian Government.  There is no assurance that the Licenses will be granted or that the closing will be completed.  We will not list our shares on any exchange, or further pursue the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, unless the closing is completed.

If the Licenses are granted and the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement completed, Offshore will endeavor to secure the financing to undertake exploration of the area covered by the Licenses.  Offshore may seek a joint venture partner with exploration experience and operational capability to undertake our exploration activities and assist with financing.  Our activities are subject to risks and uncertainties described herein under “RISK FACTORS.”  Potential investors in the Company’s shares are strongly urged to review carefully such RISK FACTORS.

Our head office is at 110 East Broward Boulevard, Suite 1700, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33301 and our administration office is at 1226 White Oaks Blvd., Oakville, Ontario Canada L6H 2B9.  Our telephone numbers are 877-655-5501 and our fax number is 866-786-6415.

WE HAVE NO RESERVES.  WE ARE IN AN EXPLORATION STAGE ONLY.  READERS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO READ THE “RISK FACTORS” SECTION OF THIS PROSPECTUS.

Neither the Governor-General, the Minister or any Governmental Department of the Government of the Bahamas, or any person or body acting on their behalf, has formed or expressed an opinion that the Licensed Areas are, from their geological formation or otherwise, likely to contain petroleum.

Securities Being Offered.  We have 45,300,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Shares”) issued and outstanding as of December 15, 2009.  The Selling Shareholders are offering up to 17,502,500 Shares.  No public market exists for the Shares or any other security issued by Offshore.  Offshore will undertake to include its Shares for trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, however, no assurance can be given that such market will be established.  Offshore will not undertake to list, or include for quotation, any other security of the Company on any exchange or quotation system.  The Selling Shareholders may offer to sell the Shares being offered in this prospectus at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices.  There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold in this offering.

Risk Factors.  You should read the “RISK FACTORS” section as well as the other cautionary statements throughout this prospectus so that you understand the risks associated with an investment in our securities.  Any investment in our common stock should be considered a high-risk investment because of the nature of mineral exploration.  Only investors who can afford to lose their entire investment should invest in these securities.

Use of Proceeds.  The Selling Shareholders are selling shares of common stock covered by this prospectus for their own account.  We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of these shares by the Selling Shareholders.  Our working capital and any additional financing we obtain in the future will be used to fund our operations and administrative expenses, maintain our Licenses and fund exploration for oil and gas in the areas subject to our Licenses, when granted.  See PROPERTIES – Licenses for Exploration.  We are paying all of the expenses relating to the registration of the Selling Shareholders’ Shares, but we will not pay any commissions or expenses of the actual sale of the Shares.

RISK FACTORS

1.
THE COMPANY HAS NO SOURCE OF OPERATING REVENUE AND EXPECTS TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES BEFORE ESTABLISHING AN OPERATING COMPANY, IF IT IS ABLE TO ESTABLISH AN OPERATING COMPANY AT ALL.

Currently, the Company has no source of revenue, limited working capital and no commitments to obtain additional financing.  The Company will require significant additional working capital to maintain its Licenses, when granted, and to carry out its exploration programs in the Licensed Areas.  Failure to raise the necessary capital to maintain our Licenses and commence exploration could cause the Company to go out of business.

2. 
WE HAVE NO TRACK RECORD

The Company has no exploration track record or operating history upon which an evaluation of its future success or failure can be made.

3.
OUR DEVELOPMENT AND EXPLORATION OPERATIONS REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL CAPITAL AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN NEEDED CAPITAL OR FINANCING ON SATISFACTORY TERMS, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF OUR LICENSES.

Our Licenses with the Bahamian Government, if we are successful in obtaining them, will require us to pay rent and meet minimum annual investment thresholds for the exploration and, if warranted, development of the Licensed Areas, as more fully described in the section entitled, “PROPERTIES – Licenses for Exploration.”  Rent has been prepaid for the first year.  In the second and third years of the initial term of the Licenses, our Subsidiaries will pay an aggregate of $600,000 and $800,000 in rent respectively. In addition to the payment of rent, with respect to each of the eight Licenses, Atlantic and Bahamas must invest specified amounts in the exploration and development of the Licensed Areas.  Such investments must be for qualifying activities and expenses as specified in the License.  In the first year of each License, each Subsidiary must invest an aggregate of $250,000 in its Licensed Areas.  Each Subsidiary must then invest an aggregate of $375,000 in its Licensed Areas in the second and third years in order to maintain their respective Licenses.  Consequently, the Subsidiaries will invest in qualifying expenditures an aggregate of $500,000 in the first year of the Licenses and $750,000 in each of the second and third years of the Licenses.  The Company believes it has sufficient capital and exploration credits to ensure it meets its operating requirements over the next year.  Overall, the Company believes it must raise $4 million to meet the conditions of the initial three-year term of all eight Licenses.  If we are unable to meet such conditions, we will lose some or all of our Licenses and cease doing business, in which case our shareholders will lose their investment in the Company.

4.
IF THE COMPANY DEVELOPS HYDROCARBON RESOURCES, THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT PRODUCTION WILL BE PROFITABLE.

Even if the Company finds hydrocarbon resources, there is no assurance that it will be able to produce them or that a production operation would be profitable on any of its Licenses.

 
- 7 -

 

5.
OIL AND NATURAL GAS PRICES ARE VOLATILE AND SUBSTANTIAL DECLINES WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS AND IMPEDE OUR GROWTH.

Profitability and liquidity are substantially dependent upon prevailing prices for oil and natural gas, which can be extremely volatile. Even relatively modest drops in prices can significantly affect financial results. Prices for oil and natural gas may fluctuate widely in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of, and demand for, oil and natural gas, market uncertainty and a wide variety of additional factors that are beyond our control, such as the domestic and foreign supply of oil and natural gas; the price of foreign imports; the ability of members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls; technological advances affecting energy consumption, domestic and foreign governmental regulations, and variations between product prices at sales points and applicable index prices.  In addition, regional oil and gas prices may vary from national prices due to regional factors such as regional gas production being constrained by regional gas pipeline capacity.

6. 
OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS ARE INHERENTLY RISKY.

The nature of the oil and gas business involves a variety of risks, particularly the risk of drilling wells that are found to be unable to produce any oil and/or gas or unable to produce and sell oil and/or gas at prices sufficient to repay the costs of the wells.  It is possible that we may in the future recognize substantial impairment expenses when uneconomic wells and declines in oil and gas prices result in impairments of the capitalized costs of our oil and gas Licenses.

The oil and gas business also includes operating hazards such as fires, explosions, cratering, blow-outs and encountering formations with abnormal pressures. The occurrence of any of these events could result in losses and, if not fully insured against, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

We expect to carry stated levels and types of casualty and liability insurance and additional insurance against well blow-outs and other unusual risks in the drilling, completion and operation of oil and gas wells at such time as we reach this stage of development. However, there may still be fires, blow-outs and other events that result in losses not fully covered by our insurance.

7.
THE COMPANY IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON ITS OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.  BECAUSE OF THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN OTHER SIMILAR BUSINESSES WHICH MAY BE COMPETITORS, THEY MAY HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

None of the Company’s officers or directors works for the Company on a full-time basis.  There are no proposals or definitive arrangements to engage them on a full-time basis.  None of the officers or directors have employment agreements with the Company or its Subsidiaries.  All of the directors are officers or directors of other companies in similar exploration businesses.  Such business activities may be considered a conflict of interest because these individuals must continually make decisions on how much of their time they will allocate to the Company as against their other business projects, which may be competitive.  Also, the Company has no key man life insurance policy on any of its senior management or directors.  The loss of one or more of these officers or directors could adversely affect the ability of the Company to carry on business.

8.
THE COMPANY COULD ENCOUNTER REGULATORY AND PERMITTING DELAYS.

Even if the Company is successful in obtaining the Licenses, the Company could face delays in obtaining production leases to proceed with production on the Licensed Areas.  Such delays could jeopardize financing, if any is available, which could result in having to delay or abandon work on some or all of the Licensed Areas.

9. 
WE ARE SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

Our business is affected by Bahamian Government laws and regulations, including energy, environmental, conservation, tax and other laws and regulations relating to the oil and gas development and production.

 
- 8 -

 

The areas outlined in the Bahamian Petroleum Act of 1971 and the regulations promulgated thereunder include: (a) the prevention of waste, (b) the discharge of materials into the environment, (c) the conservation of oil and natural gas, (d) pollution, (e) permits for drilling operations, (f) drilling bonds and (g) reports concerning operations, spacing of wells, and the unitization and pooling of properties. Failure to comply with any laws and regulations may result in the loss of one or more Licenses, and/or assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties.  Moreover, changes in any of the above outlined laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business.  Concerns of global warming may result in changes to laws and regulations that increase the cost of oil and gas operations and decrease the use and demand for crude oil and natural gas.  In view of the many uncertainties with respect to current and future laws and regulations, including their applicability to us, we cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on our future operations.

10.
THERE ARE PENNY STOCK SECURITIES LAW CONSIDERATIONS THAT COULD LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO SELL YOUR SHARES.

Our common stock is considered a "penny stock" and the sale of our stock by you will be subject to the "penny stock rules" of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to take steps before making any penny stock trades in customer accounts.  As a result, the market for our shares could be illiquid and there could be delays in the trading of our stock which would negatively affect your ability to sell your shares and could negatively affect the trading price of your shares.

11.
SHORTAGES OF RIGS, EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES AND PERSONNEL COULD DELAY OR OTHERWISE ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR COST OF EXPLORATION.

We, or our joint venture operators, may experience shortages of drilling and completion rigs, field equipment and qualified personnel which may cause delays in our ability to continue to drill, complete, test and connect wells to processing facilities. Shortages of drilling and completion rigs, field equipment or qualified personnel could delay, restrict or curtail our exploration operations, which may materially adversely affect our business.

12.
SHORTAGES OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND PROCESSING FACILITIES MAY RESULT IN OUR RECEIVING A DISCOUNT IN THE PRICE WE RECEIVE FOR OIL AND NATURAL GAS SALES OR MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO SELL OUR OIL AND NATURAL GAS.

We may experience limited access to transportation used to transport our oil and natural gas to processing facilities. We may also experience limited access to processing facilities. If either or both of these situations arise, we may not be able to sell our oil and natural gas at prevailing market prices, or may be completely unable to sell our oil and/or natural gas, which would materially adversely affect our business.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The offering price has been estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee payable to the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with this prospectus.  The offering price is not an indication of value nor has it been established by any recognized methodology for deriving the value of the Shares.

DILUTION

We will likely be required to issue more common stock from treasury in order to raise additional capital.  If common stock is issued to raise additional capital, it will result in the dilution of the existing shareholders.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

We are an oil and gas exploration company.  Our objective is to explore and, if warranted and feasible, to develop oil and/or gas production on sites covered by our Licenses which are located in waters off the shore of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.

On November 30, 2009, the Company closed in escrow a Share Exchange Agreement with NPT Oil Corporation Ltd, a Cayman Islands company (“NPT”) to purchase from NPT all of the equity stock of two Cayman Island companies (the “Share Exchange Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Cayman Islands companies to be acquired by Offshore are Atlantic Petroleum Ltd. (“Atlantic”) and Bahamas Exploration Limited (“Bahamas”).  Atlantic and Bahamas together are sometimes referred to herein as our “Subsidiaries.”  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, upon the breaking of escrow and completion of the closing, Offshore will pay consideration to NPT consisting of: (a) 15 million Shares of Offshore and (b) a promissory note with a face amount of $1.5 million payable over a two-year term and bearing interest at 5%.  Concurrent with the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement, NPT assigned to its own shareholders all of the Shares of Offshore to be issued upon closing of the Share Exchange Agreement. Ryan Bateman, John Rainwater and Mickey Wiesinger, principals of NPT, are members of Offshore’s Board of Directors.  Mr. Rainwater is the President and Chairman of the Board of Offshore.

The Share Exchange Agreement is more fully described below in “PROPERTIES – Share Exchange Agreement.”

The Subsidiaries each have applied to the Government of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas for certain rights to explore for oil and gas in territorial waters controlled by the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.  We refer to such exploration rights as the “Licenses.”  The Subsidiaries are seeking eight Licenses that are more fully described below in “PROPERTIES – Licenses for Exploration.”  The geographic location and area covered by the Licenses (the “Licensed Areas”) and a description of the work that has been performed on the Licensed Areas is described below in “PROPERTIES – Description of Licensed Areas”  The closing of the Share Exchange Agreement is contingent upon certain closing conditions, including the granting of the Licenses by the Bahamian Government.  There is no assurance that the Licenses will be granted or that the closing will be completed.  We will not list our Shares on any exchange, or further pursue the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, unless the closing is completed.

In the event that the Licenses are granted and the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement completed, Offshore will endeavor to secure the financing to undertake exploration of the area covered by the Licenses.  Our activities are subject to risks and uncertainties described herein under “RISK FACTORS.”  Potential investors in the Company’s Shares are strongly urged to review carefully such RISK FACTORS.  As of the date of this prospectus, our applications for the Licenses are pending and, we believe, close to receiving approval from the Bahamian Government.

PROPERTIES

Share Exchange Agreement

On November 30, 2009, the Company closed in escrow a Share Exchange Agreement with NPT Oil Corporation Ltd, a Cayman Islands company (“NPT”) to purchase from NPT all of the equity stock of two Cayman Island companies (the “Share Exchange Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Cayman Islands companies to be acquired by Offshore are Atlantic Petroleum Ltd. (“Atlantic”) and Bahamas Exploration Limited (“Bahamas”).  Atlantic and Bahamas together are sometimes referred to herein as the “Subsidiaries.”  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, upon the breaking of escrow and completion of the closing, Offshore will pay consideration to NPT consisting of: (a) 15 million common shares of Offshore and (b) a promissory note with a face amount of $1.5 million payable over a two-year term and bearing interest at 5%.  Concurrent with the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement, NPT assigned to its own shareholders all of the shares of Offshore to be issued upon closing of the Share Exchange Agreement.  In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, Ryan Bateman, John Rainwater and Mickey Wiesinger, principals of NPT, were appointed to Offshore’s Board of Directors.

As further described below under “Licenses for Exploration,” the Subsidiaries each have applied to the Government of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas for certain rights to explore for oil and gas in territorial waters controlled by the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.  We refer to such exploration rights and the written agreements with the Bahamian Government that specify such rights as the “Licenses.”  The Subsidiaries are seeking eight such Licenses.  The breaking of escrow and closing of the Share Exchange Agreement is contingent upon certain closing conditions, including the granting of the Licenses by the Bahamian Government to the Subsidiaries.  The Licenses application process began on December 12, 2008.  The Company and the Subsidiaries believe they are in the final stages of completing this process and obtaining the Licenses.  There is no assurance, however, that the Licenses will be granted or that the escrow will be broken and the closing completed.  Offshore will not list its shares on any exchange, or further pursue the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, unless the closing is completed.  The parties have agreed that the closing shall be completed on or before February 15, 2010.  Such closing date may be extended by the mutual agreement of the parties.

The Share Exchange Agreement provides that the equity shares of the Subsidiaries must be conveyed to Offshore free and clear of any encumbrances whatsoever.  Further, the Subsidiaries must obtain the approval of the Bahamian Government of the sale of the Subsidiaries by NPT to Offshore and provide evidence that the Licenses shall remain in effect following the completion of the closing.  NPT has agreed, as a condition of the Share Exchange Agreement, to indemnify Offshore for any breach of the Share Exchange Agreement.

The following assets (which were held by the Subsidiaries as of the date of the Share Exchange Agreement) form the basis of our knowledge of the Licensed Areas.

The Subsidiaries invested approximately $500,000 to obtain the above information.  This amount is eligible to be applied against work commitments on the Licenses in the first year of the Licenses.  Such credit for work performed and the investment of one year’s rent in each of the eight Licenses (upon application) was a component of the valuation and resulting consideration paid by Offshore for the Subsidiaries pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement.

Licenses for Exploration

The Subsidiaries’ applications for the Licenses are pending and, we believe, close to receiving approval from the Bahamian Government.  Final approval of the Licenses has not been granted by the Bahamian Government as of the date of this prospectus.  While the terms and conditions of the Licenses cannot be stated with certainty until the Licenses are issued, based upon drafts of the Licenses and discussions with the Bahamian Government, the Company anticipates that the rights to be granted to the Subsidiaries will consist of eight separate Licenses covering geographic areas specified in each License and described below in “Description of Licensed Areas.”  They are designated as follows.

Subsidiary Holding License
Name Assigned to Specific Licensed Area
   
Atlantic Petroleum Ltd
License No. 1    Aphrodite
 
License No. 2    Mercury
 
License No. 3    Neptune
 
License No. 4    Venus
   
Bahamas Exploration Limited
License No. 5    Apollo
 
License No. 6    Poseidon
 
License No. 7    Hermes
 
License No. 81  Zeus

Term

In each case, the License will have an initial term of three (3) years with one option to renew for another three-year term.  After the second renewal term, the Licenses can be renewed for two more three-year terms at the discretion of the Bahamian Government as to all or a portion of the Licensed Area. At any time during the term of the Licenses, or any renewal terms, if we drill a well that can be developed into a producing well, the Subsidiary holding the License has a right to convert the License into a Lease.  The terms and conditions of such a Lease are described below in “Development and Conversion Into Lease.”

Rent

Each License requires annual rent of $50,000 in the first year (already paid in each case with the application for the License) and $75,000 in the second year and $100,000. The annual rent in the third year and any subsequent renewal years would be $100,000.

Investment in Development

In addition to the payment of rent, Atlantic and Bahamas must invest specified amounts in the exploration and development of the Licensed Areas.  In the first year of each License, each of the Subsidiaries must invest an aggregate of $250,000 in qualifying expenditures for its four Licensed Areas.  The Subsidiaries each must then invest an aggregate of $375,000 in qualifying expenditures for its four Licensed Areas in the second and third years in order to maintain their respective Licenses.  Consequently, the Subsidiaries will invest an aggregate of $500,000 in the first year of the Licenses and $750,000 for each of the second and third years of the Licenses.  Of the amount due in the first year of the Licenses, Atlantic and Bahamas will receive credit of $500,000 for work performed and information obtained prior to the date hereof.  In the event a Subsidiary has qualifying expenditures for a given Licensed Area greater than the amount required by the License, the surplus can be used to offset annual expenditure obligations in subsequent years.  If, at the end of the License term or any renewal period thereafter, a Subsidiary has not met the aggregate expenditure obligations for such term, such Subsidiary would owe a penalty to the Bahamian Government equal to one-half of the amount deficient.

Development and Conversion Into Lease

Each License entitles its holder to develop and operate oil and gas rigs in the Licensed Area, subject to certain approvals of the Bahamian Government, including approval of any and all third party operators or joint venturers.  In the event that we drill a well that can be developed into a producing well, the Subsidiary holding the License has a right to convert the License into a Lease which would contain substantially identical terms and conditions.  The Lease would have an initial term of ten years with one option to renew for an additional ten-year renewal term.  We would pay royalties to the Bahamian Government as follows.

Production Levels
Percentage Royalty based upon fair
market value of the oil produced1
   
First 75,000 barrels/day
12½% of FMV
   
75,000 – 150,000 barrels/day
15% of FMV
   
150,000 – 250,000 barrels/day
17½ of FMV
   
All amounts in excess of 250,000 barrels
20% of FMV
   
Natural Gas
12½% of FMC

1  All royalty amounts are to be paid in U.S. dollars, unless an arrangement for payment in kind has been made.  The fair market value of the petroleum shall be determined by the mutual agreement of the parties.  Rent paid by under the Lease shall be credited against royalty payments.

In the event a producing well is drilled and commences operation during the term of a License and such License has not been converted into a lease, the Subsidiary would be required to pay to the Bahamian Government royalties in an amount identical to the royalty that would be owned pursuant to a lease.

Additional Agreements

Each Subsidiary is required to maintain insurance issued by carriers approved by the Bahamian Government.  In addition, each of the Subsidiaries is required to post a bond of $1 million backing funding and performance of the investment in development to be undertaken pursuant to the Licenses, as described above in “Investment in Development” above.  Such bond must be issued by an approved financial institution, and the amount of the bond is to be reduced at the end of each year by an amount equal to the actual amount expended on exploration.

The Subsidiaries are required to have a manager that is a Bahamian resident, and a qualified engineer must supervise any and all exploration and operation undertaken on the Licensed Areas. The Licenses may not be assigned without the written consent of the Bahamian Government.

We are generally obligated to conduct our operations in a manner that prevents contamination of the environment.  The Bahamian Government is authorized to oversee our operations and enforce these requirements pursuant to the Bahamian Petroleum Act.

Additional Agreements under Lease

In the event any License is converted into a lease, as described above, the Subsidiaries-lessee would be required to sell to refineries in the Bahamas up to 25% of the oil produced from such well.  During the term of any lease the Subsidiary-lessee would be required to indemnify the Bahamian Government from any third party claims.  In addition, the Bahamian Government would have the right to appoint a Bahamian Governmental official to such Subsidiary’s Board of Directors and the right to pre-empt the purchase of the output of a producing well in the event of war.

TRANSFER AGENT

Our Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Common Stock is Olde Monmouth Stock Transfer Co. Inc., 200 Memorial Parkway, Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey 07716.

EMPLOYEES

We have no full-time employees.  We rely primarily upon consultants and contractors to accomplish our administration and exploration activities.  We are not subject to a union labor contract or collective bargaining agreement.  Management services are provided by our executive officers on an "as-needed" basis.  We have no employment agreement with any of our officers and directors and we carry no key-man life insurance.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

On September 8, 2008, we adopted the 2008 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") under which our officers, directors, consultants, advisors and employees may receive stock options.  The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the plan is 5,000,000.  The purpose of the Plan is to assist us in attracting and retaining selected individuals to serve as directors, officers, consultants, advisors, and employees of Offshore who contribute to our success, and to achieve long-term objectives that will inure to the benefit of all shareholders through the additional incentive inherent in the ownership of our common stock.  Options granted under the plan will be either "incentive stock options", intended to qualify as such under the provisions of section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as from time to time amended (the "Code") or "unqualified stock options".  For the purposes of the Plan, the term "subsidiary" shall mean “Subsidiary Corporation,” as such term is defined in section 424(f) of the Code, and "affiliate" shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

The Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors who will set the terms under which options are granted.  No options have been granted under the Plan as of the date of this prospectus.

COMPETITION

There is aggressive competition within the industry to discover and acquire properties considered to have commercial potential.  We compete for the opportunity to participate in promising exploration projects with other entities, many of which have much greater resources than we do.  In addition, we compete with others in efforts to obtain financing to explore and develop oil and gas properties.

HISTORY

We were incorporated in the State of New York on September 8, 1999 under the name "Enviroclens Inc." as a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation.  Our then parent-corporation formed the Company in order to pursue a proposed business opportunity that was unrelated to its core business.  On September 30, 2002, our former parent corporation issued shares of the Company as a dividend to its shareholders.  The intended project did not proceed.  On January 23, 2007, the Company moved its jurisdiction and was re-domiciled in the State of Delaware.  On May 9, 2007, we changed our name to “Offshore Petroleum Corp.”

On September 15, 2008, John Rainwater and Mickey Wiesinger were appointed to the Board of Directors. At that time, Todd D. Montgomery, the then President and sole Director of the Company, resigned. On March 12, 2009, Ryan Bateman was appointed to the Board of Directors and on December 1, 2009, Gary Adams was appointed to the Board of Directors.  On January 14, 2010, Mr. Rainwater was made Chairman of the Board of Directors.

On November 30, 2009, the Company closed in escrow a Share Exchange Agreement with NPT Oil Corporation Ltd, a Cayman Islands company (“NPT”) to purchase from NPT all of the equity stock of the Subsidiaries (the “Share Exchange Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, upon the breaking of escrow and completion of the closing, Offshore will pay consideration to NPT consisting of: (a) 15 million Shares of Offshore and (b) a promissory note with a face amount of $1.5 million payable over a two-year term and bearing interest at 5%.  Concurrent with the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement, NPT assigned to its own shareholders all of the Shares of Offshore to be issued upon closing of the Share Exchange Agreement.  For more information regarding the Subsidiaries and our properties, please see the section entitled “PROPERTIES – Share Exchange Agreement”, herein.

Prior to entering into the Share Exchange Agreement, NPT, through the Subsidiaries, pursued with the Bahamian Government an application for the Licenses.  NPT was aware of prior exploration that had been conducted in the Licensed Areas by another oil and gas exploration company and was aware that the exploration rights in the Licensed Area were available.  NPT funded the costs of forming Atlantic and Bahamas and applying for the Licenses.  Principals of NPT, Ryan Bateman, John Rainwater and Mickey Wiesinger, are also directors of Offshore.

Private Placements

The Company completed private placements of 9,350,000 shares of its common stock at $0.10 per share on the following dates with the following investors.  These private placements were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to an exemption provided by Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

In the event that we are successful in Closing the Share Exchange Agreement and obtaining the Licenses from the Bahamian Government through our then newly acquired Subsidiaries, our main focus will be raising the additional financing necessary to pay rent owed under the Licenses for their initial three-year term and meet our exploration expenditure obligations. For more information regarding the Licenses please see “PROPERTIES” – Share Exchange Agreement and PROPERTIES - Licenses for Exploration, herein.  We may seek a joint venture partner with exploration experience and operational capability to undertake our exploration activities and assist with financing.  We will require substantial additional capital to implement this plan and additional financing to bring any one or more sites in the Licensed Area to production, if production is warranted and feasible.  We may raise additional capital through a public offering, private placements of our securities, a joint venture or through loans or some combination of the foregoing.  We estimate that we will have to raise approximately $4 million to fulfill the terms of the initial three years of the eight Licenses.  If, following exploration, we believe that any one or more sites in the Licensed Area warrants development, we will engage a third party to undertake a feasibility study to asses whether a reserve exists.  If a reserve is found to exist, we will consider options for development, including a joint venture with a significant producing company or obtaining further financing and contracting for development and production.

Discussion of Operations & Financial Condition from inception to December 31, 2008 and Nine months ended September 30, 2009

Offshore has no source of revenue and we continue to operate at a loss.  We have no oil or gas reserves of any kind.  We expect our operating losses to continue for so long as we remain in an exploration stage and perhaps thereafter.  As at December 31, 2008, we had accumulated losses of $23,516.  As at September 30, 2009, we had accumulated losses of $125,981.  Our ability to emerge from the exploration stage and conduct production operations is dependent, in large part, upon our ability to raise additional financing.

As described in greater detail below, the Company’s major endeavor for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 has been its effort to complete the acquisition of Atlantic and Bahamas and to raise additional working capital.  We are continuing our efforts to raise additional capital to pursue exploration activities.

The contract for the acquisition of Atlantic and Bahamas has been closed in escrow subject to the final delivery of the Licenses from the Bahamian Government and satisfaction of other conditions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB ASC TOPIC 805 – “Business Combinations.”  The objective of this topic is to enhance the information that an entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects.  The Topic mandates: (i) how the acquirer recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; (ii) what information to disclose in its financial reports and; (iii) recognition and measurement criteria for goodwill acquired.  This Topic is effective for any acquisitions made on or after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

FASB ASC TOPIC 810 – “Noncontrolling Interests.”  The objective of this Topic is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require: (i) the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent's equity; (ii) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; (iii) changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently; (iv) when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. The gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary is measured using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity investment rather than the carrying amount of that retained investment and; (v) entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners.  This Topic is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.  The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

FASB ASC TOPIC 815 – “Derivatives and Hedging.” The use and complexity of derivative instruments and hedging activities have increased significantly over the past several years.  This Topic requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This Topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.   The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
 
FASB ASC TOPIC 944 – “Financial Services – Insurance.”  Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises. That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred. This Topic requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise's risk-management activities.  The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
 
FASB ASC TOPIC 855 - “Subsequent Events.”  In May 2009, the FASB issued Topic 855, which establish general standards of accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this Topic sets forth : (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This Topic should be applied to the accounting and disclosure of subsequent events. This Topic does not apply to subsequent events or transactions that are within the scope of other applicable accounting standards that provide different guidance on the accounting treatment for subsequent events or transactions. This Topic was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

FASB ASC TOPIC 105 - “The FASB Accounting Standard Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” In June 2009, the FASB issued Topic 105, which became the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Topic, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This Topic identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in preparing the financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP and arranged these sources of GAAP in a hierarchy for users to apply accordingly. This Topic is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosure of the financial statements.

FASB ASC TOPIC 320 - “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.”   In April 2009, the FASB issued Topic 320 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This Topic does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. The Topic is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Earlier adoption for periods ending before March 15, 2009, is not permitted. This Topic does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this Topic requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

FASB ASC TOPIC 860 - “Accounting for Transfer of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities.”  In June 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under Topic 860 which improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This additional guidance requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. Enhanced disclosures are required to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and a transferor’s continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. This additional guidance must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This additional guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date.  The adoption of this Topic is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

FASB ASC TOPIC 810 - “Consolidation of Variables Interest and Special Purpose Entities.”  In June 2009, the FASB issued Topic 810, which requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (i) The power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) The obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. This Topic requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, which was based on determining which enterprise absorbs the majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both. This Topic is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited.  The adoption of this Topic is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

FASB ASC TOPIC 820 - “Fair Value measurement and Disclosures”, an Accounting Standard Update. In September 2009, the FASB issued this Update to amendments to Subtopic 82010, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. Overall, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculates net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The amendments in this Update permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment that is within the scope of the amendments in this Update on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if the net asset value of the investment (or its equivalent) is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, including measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this Update also require disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update, such as the nature of any restrictions on the investor’s ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date, any unfunded commitment, and the investment strategies of the investees. The major category of investment is required to be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investment in a manner consistent with the guidance for major security types in GAAP on investments in debt and equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-lB. The disclosures are required for all investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update regardless of whether the fair value of the investment is measured using the practical expedient. The amendments in this Update apply to all reporting entities that hold an investment that is required or permitted to be measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring or non recurring basis and, as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, if the investment meets certain criteria The amendments in this Update are effective for the interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued.  The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

FASB ASC TOPIC 740 - “Income Taxes”, an Accounting Standard Update. In September 2009, the FASB issued this Update to address the need for additional implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. For entities that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the guidance and disclosure amendments are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The adoption of this Update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments.  To the extent actual results differ from those estimates, our future results of operations may be affected.  Going forward, once the Company begins exploration and production of its oil and gas reserves, we anticipate that the following accounting policies will become critical to the preparation of our financial statement:

Full Cost Accounting Method

We intend to use the full cost method of accounting for our oil and gas properties. Under this method, all acquisition, exploration, development and estimated abandonment costs, including certain related employee costs and general and administrative costs (less any reimbursements for such costs), incurred for the purpose of acquiring and finding oil and gas will be capitalized.

Capitalized costs of oil and gas properties evaluated as having, or not having, proved reserves will be amortized using the unit-of-production method based upon estimated proved oil and gas reserves.

Estimates of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves

Estimates of proved oil and gas reserves will have a significant impact on the carrying value of our oil and gas properties, the related property amortization expense and related property impairment expense. Volumes of reserves actually recovered and cash flows actually received from actual production may differ significantly from the proved reserve estimates and the related projected cash flows, respectively.

Asset Retirement Obligation

Accounting for asset retirement obligations is governed by  FASB ASC TOPIC 410, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”. This statement requires us to record our estimate of the fair value of liabilities related to future asset retirement obligations in the period the obligation is incurred. Asset retirement obligations relate to the removal of facilities and tangible equipment at the end of an oil and gas property’s useful life. The adoption of - FASB ASC TOPIC 410 requires the use of management’s estimates with respect to future abandonment costs, inflation, market risk premiums, useful life and cost of capital.  FASB ASC TOPIC 410 requires that our estimate of our asset retirement obligations will not give consideration to the value the related assets may have to other parties.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of - FASB ASC TOPIC 740, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method.  Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between the tax and financial statement bases of assets and liabilities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement

The Company had no off balance sheet transactions.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

As of January 1, 2009, the Company entered into a one year consulting services contract with Lance Capital Corp. (“Lance”) pursuant to which Lance will administer the Company’s daily corporate operations.

On October 20, 2009, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Power One Capital Corp. (“Power One”) for certain consulting services for a term of expiring September 20, 2011.  The Company shall issue 1,500,000 Shares of the Company which shall be earned in the following manner:  1,500,000 shares will be earned by Power One in equal installments of 500,000 shares on April 1, 2010, October 1, 2010 and April 1, 2011.  The Consultant must return any unearned shares upon termination of the Consulting Agreement.

On November 30, 2009, the Company closed in escrow a Share Exchange Agreement with NPT Oil Corporation Ltd, a Cayman Islands company (“NPT”) to purchase from NPT all of the equity stock of two Cayman Island companies (the “Share Exchange Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Cayman Islands companies to be acquired by Offshore are Atlantic Petroleum Ltd. (“Atlantic”) and Bahamas Exploration Limited (“Bahamas”).  Atlantic and Bahamas together are sometimes referred to herein as the “Subsidiaries.”  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, upon the breaking of escrow and completion of the closing, Offshore will pay consideration to NPT consisting of: (a) 15 million Shares of Offshore and (b) a promissory note with a face amount of $1.5 million payable over a two-year term and bearing interest at 5%.

Each of the eight Licenses to be issued to Atlantic and Bahamas will have an initial three-year term and require advance annual rental payments of $50,000 per License in the first year (already paid upon application for the Licenses), $75,000 in the second year and $100,000 in the third year.  Atlantic and Bahamas each are required to spend an aggregate of $250,000 on qualifying exploration and/or development expenditures in the first year on  their four respective Licensed Areas and an aggregate of $375,000 in each of the two following years.  Each of Atlantic and Bahamas are required to post a $1,000,000 bond for performance of the work commitments.  See the section entitled “PROPERTIES – Licenses for Exploration” for more information.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

In connection with our compliance with securities laws and rules, our Chief Financial Officer evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures on September 30h, 2009.  He has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.  There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
 
Our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Management of Offshore is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting.  However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce this risk.
 
In making this assessment, management, used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
 
Inherent in small business is the pervasive problem of segregation of duties.  Given that the Company has a small accounting department, segregation of duties cannot be completely accomplished at this stage in the corporate lifecycle.  Management has added many compensating controls to effectively reduce and minimize the risk of a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements.

 
- 27 -

 
 
Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

For the period ended September 30, 2009, there have been no changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Except for compensation paid for services provided by entities owned by some of our officers and Directors, as more particularly described in CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, no officer or Director has received any remuneration from us, directly or indirectly, since our inception.  Although we have no compensation plan currently, it is possible that we will adopt such a plan in the future to pay or accrue compensation for our officers and Directors for services related to the operation of our business.  Although we have no retirement, incentive, defined benefit, actuarial, pension or profit-sharing programs for the benefit of Directors, officers or other employees currently, it is possible that we will adopt such plans in the future. We have no employment contract or compensatory plan or arrangement with any of our Directors or officers.  We have a Stock Option Plan that is described in STOCK OPTION PLAN.

ORGANIZATION WITHIN THE LAST FIVE YEARS

We were incorporated in the State of New York on September 8, 1999 under the name "Enviroclens Inc." as a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation.  Our then parent-corporation formed the Company in order to pursue a proposed business opportunity that was unrelated to its core business.  On September 30, 2002, our former parent corporation issued shares of the Company as a dividend to its shareholders. The intended project did not proceed.  On January 23, 2007, the Company moved its jurisdiction and was re-domiciled in the State of Delaware.  On May 9, 2007, we changed our name to “Offshore Petroleum Corp.”

All transactions among the Company and related parties are described in “CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS” above.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following description is a summary of the material terms of our common stock.  This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by our Articles of Incorporation as amended, our Bylaws and by the applicable provisions of the State of Delaware law.  Our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share.  There is no cumulative voting for the election of directors. There are no preemptive rights to purchase shares. The holders of shares of common stock are entitled to dividends, out of funds legally available therefore, when and as declared by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has never declared a dividend and does not anticipate declaring a dividend in the future. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on all matters presented to the shareholders for a vote. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, holders are entitled to receive, ratably, our net assets available to shareholders after payment of all creditors. All of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.  To the extent that our unissued shares of common stock are subsequently issued, the relative interests of existing shareholders will be diluted.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock offered hereunder by the selling shareholders.  We will not pay any commissions or any of the expenses of the selling shareholders related to the sale of these shares.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The offering price has been estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee payable to the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with this prospectus.  The offering price is not an indication of value nor has it been established by any recognized methodology for deriving the value of the Shares.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS AND PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, relates to our registration, for the account of the Selling Shareholders listed below, of an aggregate of 17,502,500 shares of common stock.

 
- 33 -

 

The sale of the Selling Shareholders' Shares by the Selling Shareholders may be effected from time to time in transactions, which may include block transactions by or for the account of the selling shareholders, in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions, or through the writing of options on the selling shareholders' shares, a combination of these methods of sale, or otherwise. Sales may be made at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. We are not aware of any underwriting arrangements that have been entered into by the selling shareholders.  We will file a post-effective amendment to our registration statement with the SEC if any selling shareholder enters into an agreement to sell shares through broker-dealers acting as principals after the date of this prospectus.

The Selling Shareholders, during the time each is engaged in distributing shares covered by this prospectus, must comply with the requirements of Regulation M under the Exchange Act.  Generally, under those rules and regulations they may not: (i) engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities, and (ii) bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Exchange Act.

The Selling Shareholders and broker-dealers, if any, acting in connection with these sales might be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any commission they receive and any profit upon the resale of the securities might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on FINRA broker-dealers who make a market in "a penny stock".  A penny stock generally includes any non-FINRA equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our shares may be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and the price of our shares may fall within a range which would cause our shares to be considered a “penny stock”.  The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers handling “penny stocks” may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in the market.

Under the “penny stock” regulations, a broker-dealer selling “penny stocks” to anyone other than an established customer or "accredited investor" (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to purchase, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt.

In addition, the “penny stock” regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a “penny stock,” a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the “penny stock” market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities.  Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the “penny stock” held in a customer's account and information with respect to the limited market in “penny stocks.”  All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the securities.

Sales of any shares of common stock by the Selling Shareholders may depress the price of the common stock in any market that may develop for the common stock.

At the time a particular offer of the shares is made by or on behalf of a selling stockholder, to the extent required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed which will set forth the number of shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, or agents, the purchase price paid by any underwriter for shares purchased from the selling stockholder and any discounts commissions, or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers, and the proposed selling price to the public.

 
- 34 -

 

Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its regulations, any person engaged in the distribution of shares of common stock offered by this prospectus may not simultaneously engage in market-making activities with respect to the common stock during the applicable "cooling off" period prior to the commencement of this distribution.  In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and its rules and regulations, including without limitation Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act, in connection with transactions in the shares, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the Selling Shareholders.

The following table sets forth information known to us regarding ownership of our common stock by each of the selling shareholders as of the date hereof and as adjusted to reflect the sale of shares offered by this prospectus.  None of the Selling Shareholders has had any position with, held any office of, or had any other material relationship with us during the past three years,

We believe, based on information supplied by the following persons that the persons named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock which they beneficially own.  Because the Selling Shareholders may sell all or only a portion of the 17,502,500 shares of common stock registered hereby, we cannot estimate the number of these shares that will be held by the Selling Shareholders upon termination of the offering.  The information in the last column of the table below assumes that the Selling Shareholders sell all of their shares offered in this prospectus.

State Blue Sky Information Relating to the Shares

The Selling Shareholders may offer and sell their Shares only in States in the United States where exemptions from registration under State securities laws are available.  The Company intends to obtain an exemption, known as the “manual exemption,” in approximately 38 States where such exemption is available.  Generally, the manual exemption is available to issuers that maintain an up-to-date listing that includes certain information about the issuer in a recognized securities manual.  The Company intends to obtain a listing in “Standard & Poor’s Corporation Records,” or Mergent’s (formerly Moody’s)  Manuals and News Reports, both recognized securities manuals   The States that provide the manual exemption include: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Utah, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.  Each State’s law is different.  Some of the States provide a general exemption for issuers’ securities that are listed in a “recognized securities manual” (or similar language) while other States have provisions that name the recognized securities manuals that qualify an issuer for the exemption in that State.  Investors, Selling Shareholders and securities professionals are advised to check each State’s securities laws and regulations (known as “Blue Sky” laws) to ascertain whether an exemption exists for the Company’s shares in a particular state.  When our registration statement (of which this prospectus forms a part) becomes effective, and a selling security holder indicates in which state(s) he desires to sell his shares, the Company will be able to identify whether it will need to register or will rely on an exemption there from.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

The Delaware Business Corporation Act and our by-laws, provide that we shall indemnify our officers and directors and hold harmless each person who was, is or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened proceedings by reason of the fact that he or she is or was our director or officer, against losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses actually and reasonably incurred or suffered in connection with such proceeding. However, the statutory indemnity does not apply to: (a) acts or omissions of the director finally adjudged to be intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (b) unlawful distributions; or (c) any transaction with respect to which it was finally adjudged that such director personally received a benefit in money, property, or services to which the director was not legally entitled.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the forgoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

1.
Nature of Business and Operations
 
Offshore Petroleum Corp. (the "Company"), was originally incorporated on September 8, 1999 as Enviroclens Inc. under the laws of the State of New York. On December 13, 2006, Enviroclens ceased doing business in the State of New York and was re-domiciled in the State of Delaware on January 23, 2007. On May 9, 2007 the Company changed its name to Offshore Petroleum Corp.   The Company has the authority to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share.
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10Q and do not include all the information and footnotes required by complete financial statements. In the opinion of management all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included.
 
Unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
2.
Going Concern
 
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
 
The Company is in the development stage and has not yet realized revenues from its planned operations.  The Company has incurred a cumulative loss of $125,981 from inception to September 30, 2009 and has funded operations through the sale of capital stock and additional paid-in capital.
 
The Company raised $515,000 through the issuance of capital stock. Management’s plan is to raise additional funds through future equity financing until it achieves profitable operations from its activities.
 
3.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and their basis of application is consistent with that of the previous year.  Outlined below are the significant accounting policies:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, cont.

c)        Stock Based Compensation

All awards granted to employees and non-employees are valued at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. Equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees.  Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services.

There was no stock-based compensation expense relating to employees and non employees for the periods presented.
 
d)        Use of Estimates
 
Preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes to financial statements.
 
These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from such estimates. Significant estimates include accruals.
 
e)        Income taxes
 
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between the tax and financial statement bases of assets and liabilities.
 
Current income tax expense (recovery) is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable (recoverable) for the current period. A deferred tax asset and/or liability is computed for both the expected future impact of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax asset to the amount expected to be “more likely than not” realized in future tax returns. Tax law and rate changes are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted.
 
f)       Comprehensive Income
 
In addition to items included in net income, comprehensive income includes items currently charged or credited directly to stockholders’ equity, such as foreign currency translation adjustments.

g)        Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB ASC TOPIC 805 – “Business Combinations.”  The objective of this topic is to enhance the information that an entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects.  The Topic mandates: (i) how the acquirer recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; (ii) what information to disclose in its financial reports and; (iii) recognition and measurement criteria for goodwill acquired.  This Topic is effective for any acquisitions made on or after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

FASB ASC TOPIC 810 – “Noncontrolling Interests.”  The objective of this Topic is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require: (i) the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent's equity; (ii) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; (iii) changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently; (iv) when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. The gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary is measured using the fair value of any noncontrolling equity investment rather than the carrying amount of that retained investment and; (v) entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners.  This Topic is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.  The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
 
FASB ASC TOPIC 815 – “Derivatives and Hedging.” The use and complexity of derivative instruments and hedging activities have increased significantly over the past several years.  This Topic requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This Topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.   The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
 
FASB ASC TOPIC 944 – “Financial Services – Insurance.”  Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises. That diversity results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred. This Topic requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Topic is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise's risk-management activities.  The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d.)

FASB ASC  TOPIC 855 - “Subsequent Events.” In May 2009, the FASB issued Topic 855, which establish general standards of accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this Topic sets forth : (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This Topic should be applied to the accounting and disclosure of subsequent events. This Topic does not apply to subsequent events or transactions that are within the scope of other applicable accounting standards that provide different guidance on the accounting treatment for subsequent events or transactions. This Topic was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
 
FASB ASC TOPIC 105 - “The FASB Accounting Standard Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” In June 2009, the FASB issued Topic 105, which became the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Topic, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This Topic identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in preparing the financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP and arranged these sources of GAAP in a hierarchy for users to apply accordingly. This Topic is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosure of the financial statements.
 
FASB ASC TOPIC 320 - “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.”   In April 2009, the FASB issued Topic 320 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This Topic does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. The Topic is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. Earlier adoption for periods ending before March 15, 2009, is not permitted. This Topic does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this Topic requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
 
FASB ASC TOPIC 860 - “Accounting for Transfer of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities.”  In June 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance under Topic 860 which improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred

financial assets. This additional guidance requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferor’s beneficial interest) and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. Enhanced disclosures are required to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and a transferor’s continuing involvement with transferred financial assets. This additional guidance must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This additional guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date.  The adoption of this Topic is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

FASB ASC TOPIC 810 - “Consolidation of Variables Interest and Special Purpose Entities.”  In June 2009, the FASB issued Topic 810, which requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as the enterprise that has both of the following characteristics: (i)The power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii)The obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. Additionally, an enterprise is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a variable interest entity operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. This Topic requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, which was based on determining which enterprise absorbs the majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both. This Topic is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited.  The adoption of this Topic is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
 
FASB ASC TOPIC 820 - “Fair Value measurement and Disclosures”, an Accounting Standard Update. In September 2009, the FASB issued this Update to amendments to Subtopic 82010, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. Overall, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculates net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The amendments in this Update permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment that is within the scope of the amendments in this Update on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if the net asset value of the investment (or its equivalent) is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, including measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this Update also require disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update, such as the nature of any restrictions on the investor’s ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date, any unfunded commitment, and the investment strategies of the investees. The major category of investment is required to be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investment in a manner consistent with the guidance for major security types in GAAP on investments in debt and equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-lB. The disclosures are required for all investments within the scope of the amendments in this Update regardless of whether the fair value of the investment is measured using the practical expedient. The amendments in this Update apply to all reporting entities that hold an investment that is required or permitted to be measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring or non recurring basis and, as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, if the investment meets certain criteria The amendments in this Update are effective for the interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued.  The adoption of this Topic did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Offshore Petroleum Corp.
(An Exploration Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Offshore Petroleum  Corp. (an Exploration Stage  Company) as at December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of operations  and comprehensive loss, cash flows and stockholders’ deficiency for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the period from inception (September 8, 1999) 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Offshore Petroleum Corp. as at December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the period from inception (September 8, 1999) to December 31, 2008 in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company is an exploration stage company and has no established source of revenues. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in the notes to the financial statements.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the financial statements

(Amounts expressed in US Dollars)
 
1.       Nature of Business and Operations
 
Offshore Petroleum Corp. (the "Company"), was originally incorporated on September 8, 1999 as Enviroclens Inc. under the laws of the State of New York.  On December 13, 2006, Enviroclens ceased doing business in the State of New York and was re-domiciled in the State of Delaware on January 23, 2007.  On May 9, 2007 the Company changed its name to Offshore Petroleum Corp.  The Company has the authority to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share.
 
2.
Going Concern
 
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
 
The Company is in the development stage and has not yet realized revenues from its planned operations.  The Company has incurred a cumulative loss of $23,516 from inception to December 31, 2008 and has funded operations through additional paid-in capital.
 
Subsequent to year end the Company raised $495,000 through the issuance of capital stock. Management’s plan is to raise additional funds through future equity financing until it achieves profitable operations from its activities.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accounting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and their basis of application is consistent with that of the previous year.  Outlined below are the significant accounting policies:
 
Basis of Presentation

a) 
Stock Based Compensation

In December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No.123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which is a revision of FASB Statement No.123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  SFAS 123(R) requires expense for all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.  Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative.  The Company had adopted the provisions of SFAS 123 (R) on July 1, 2005. All awards granted to employees and non-employees after June 30, 2005 are valued at fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 (R) by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) in Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services”.  Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by EITF No. 96-18.

There was no stock-based compensation expense relating to employees and non employees for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
b)
Use of Estimates
 
Preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes to financial statements. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from such estimates. Significant estimates include accruals.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d.)
 
c)
Income taxes
 
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences between the tax and financial statement bases of assets and liabilities.
 
 
Current income tax expense (recovery) is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable (recoverable) for the current period. A deferred tax asset and/or liability is computed for both the expected future impact of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax asset to the amount expected to be “more likely than not” realized in future tax returns. Tax law and rate changes are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted.
 
d)
Comprehensive Income
 
 
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income. This standard requires companies to disclose comprehensive income in their consolidated financial statements. In addition to items included in net income, comprehensive income includes items currently charged or credited directly to stockholders’ equity, such as foreign currency translation adjustments.
 
e) 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”) – the fair value option for financial assets and liabilities including in amendment of SFAS 115. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective  is to improve  financial  reporting by  providing  entities  with the opportunity  to mitigate  volatility  in reported  earnings  caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions.  This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement  No. 157, Fair value measurements.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d.)

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning May 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 141 (R).

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a Subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning May 1, 2009. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 160.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FAS 161.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board auditing amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company does not expect SFAS 162 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d.)

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 163 ("SFAS 163"), "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60." SFAS 163 prescribes accounting for insures of financial obligations, bringing consistency to recognizing and recording premiums and to loss recognition. SFAS 163 also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. Except for some disclosures, SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 163 will not have an impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company.

Capital Stock
 
Year ended December 31, 1999
 
In August 1999, NatQuote Financial Inc. was presented with a business opportunity in the bottle cleaning and sterilization industry. The then proposed the bottle cleaning business did not fit with Natquote’s core business.  However, Natquote’s major shareholder requested that the opportunity be pursued on behalf of Natquote and its shareholders.
 
Natquote formed a new corporation, Enviroclens Inc., incorporated in the State of New York, on September 8, 1999, to pursue the bottle cleaning business.  In consideration for the assignment of the business opportunity from Natquote, it was agreed that NatQuote would be issued 1,795,000 common shares of Enviroclens Inc. at par value.
 
Year ended December 31, 2002
 
In September 2002, NatQuote Financial Inc. Natquote assigned its right to receive shares of Enviroclens Inc. to their shareholders as a stock dividend.  To effect this assignment NatQuote effected a 10:1 stock split for a total of 17,950,000 common shares.

F-25

 
In May 2007 the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to change the Company name to Offshore Petroleum Corp.  The Company also was re-domiciled in Delaware.

5. 
Employee Stock Option Plan
 
In September 2008, the Board of Directors approved an employee stock option plan ("2008 Stock Option Plan"), the purpose of which is to enhance the Company's stockholder value and financial performance by attracting, retaining and motivating the Company's directors, key employees, consultants and to encourage stock ownership by such individuals by providing them with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company's success through stock ownership. Under the 2008 Stock Option Plan, directors, employees and consultants who provide services to the Company may be granted incentive options and non statutory Stock Options to acquire common shares of the Company at not less than 110 percent of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.  Options will have a term of 5 years.  The total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2008 Stock Option Plan is 5,000,000.  As of December 31, 2008, no options were granted under the 2008 Stock Option Plan.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS

Our by-laws indemnify each person (including the heirs, executors, administrators, or estate of such person) who is or was a director or officer of Offshore Petroleum to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by current or future legislation or judicial or administrative decision against all fines, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, arising out of his or her status as a director, officer, agent, employee or representative.  The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of other rights to which those seeking an indemnification may be entitled.  Offshore Petroleum may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and all officers and directors against fines, liabilities, costs and expenses, whether or not Offshore Petroleum would have the legal power to indemnify them directly against such liability.

Costs, charges, and expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by a person referred to above in defending a civil or criminal proceeding shall be paid by Offshore Petroleum in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of any undertaking to repay all amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by Offshore Petroleum and upon satisfaction of other conditions required by current or future legislation.

If this indemnification or any portion of it is invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction, Offshore Petroleum nevertheless indemnifies each person described above to the fullest extent permitted by all portions of this indemnification that have not been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Offshore Petroleum pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, be advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.

UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

(i) 
Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

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

(iii) 
Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution; and

(iv) 
Remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
 
- 43 -

 
That, for determining liability under the Securities Act, the Registrant shall treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred and paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding), is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification  by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
