(Unaudited)
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the Company’s consolidated financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented.  This report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009.  The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosures needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context.  Accordingly, some footnote disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 have been omitted.  The results of operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year ending August 31, 2010.

1.
NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Gulf United Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada in September 2003. The Company currently has limited operations.  The Company is a development stage company as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards for Development Stage Entities.  The Company acquired joint venture interests with a private Mexican company in a proposed natural gas pipeline project and a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification and storage facility in Mexico. The Company is currently attempting to sell its interest in the joint ventures and little or no activity has occurred for about the last two years.  The Company does not currently have the resources necessary to fund any additional activities of the joint ventures. During the quarter ended May 31, 2010, Company management, based on their analysis of many factors, concluded that the Company’s interest the joint ventures not longer had value and, therefore, the interest in the joint ventures were deemed fully impaired and were written down to zero value. The Company (through its wholly-owned subsidiary) has a participating interest in a Peruvian shallow offshore petroleum exploration project.  The operator of the interest is currently drilling an initial exploratory well.  It is not known at this time if any recoverable reserves of oil and gas exist.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $3,687,232 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.  Between November 12, 2009 and May 31, 2010, the Company sold 59,750,000 shares of its common stock in a private placement, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $587,500. During the quarter ended May 31, 2010, the Company issued 22,250,000 shares of common stock to consultants for services rendered or to be rendered. Between April 26, 2010 and May 31, 2010, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $2,250,000 through the issuance of unsecured promissory notes, and as additional consideration for the issuance of the notes, issued an aggregate of 22,250,000 shares of its unregistered, restricted common stock.  Subsequent to May 31, 2010, the Company borrowed an additional $550,000 through the issuance of unsecured promissory notes, and issued or will issue 5,500,000 shares of its common stock as additional consideration for the issuance of the note.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Sale of joint venture interests - Terminated

As reported in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 12, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with its joint venture partner, Cia Mexicana de Gas Natural, S.A. de C.V., to sell all of the Company’s shares in Fermaca LNG de Cancun, S.A. de C.V. and Fermaca Gas de Cancun, S.A. de C.V. for a total amount of $1,000,000.  As a result of this anticipated sale, the Company, at May 31, 2009, impaired its advances to and investment in joint venture projects by

(Unaudited)
 
$1,010,970 to $940,240 to reflect the estimated present value of the anticipated sales price, discounted at 10%.  Management formally withdrew the offer to sell the Company’s shares in Fermaca LNG de Cancun, S.A. de C.V. and Fermaca Gas de Cancun, S.A. de C.V. and has since attempted again to sell or restructure the Company’s interest but, to date, has not been successful.  As a result, during the current quarter, the company impaired its investment by the remaining $940,240 to zero which reflects management’s current view of the asset value.

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
Basis of Accounting
 
The Company maintains its accounts on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position and the results of operations have been reflected herein.

Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk at this time consist principally of cash.  The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.  At times, such amounts may exceed FDIC limits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and therefore bear minimal risk.  In monitoring this credit risk, the Company periodically evaluates the stability of the financial institutions.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Certain of our more critical accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, and our observance of trends in the industry and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Different, reasonable estimates could have been used in the current period.  Additionally, changes in accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. These, and other, factors could have a material impact on the presentation of our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.

 
Cash
 
Cash includes cash in a demand deposit account with a Houston bank.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and accounts payable, accrued liabilities and debt.  It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these instruments. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values.
 
F-8

 
GULF UNITED ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 May 31, 2010
(Unaudited)
 
The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest and discount rates that approximate prevailing market rates.  In determining fair values, there are three levels of inputs used to determine value.  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.  Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which include risk inherent in the asset or liability.

Software License
 
The value of the software license is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the thirty six-month estimated useful life of the software. Any costs associated with maintenance and upgrades will be charged to expense as incurred. When the asset is retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized as income for the period; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.  Deductions are made for retirements resulting from renewals or betterments.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets
 
The Company evaluates impairment when events or circumstances indicate that a long-lived asset’s carrying value may not be recovered.  These events include market declines, decisions to sell an asset and adverse changes in the legal or business environment.  If events or circumstances indicate that a long-lived asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows from the asset for which the lowest level of separate cash flows may be determined, to determined if the asset is impaired.  If the total undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount for the asset, the Company estimates the fair value of the asset through reference to sales data for similar assets, or by using a discounted cash flow approach.  The asset’s carrying value is then adjusted downward to the estimated fair value.  These cash flow estimates and assumptions could change significantly either positively or negatively.  During the quarter ended May 31, 2009, the Company recorded an impairment of $1,010,970 in the value of its interest in joint venture projects to reflect the present value of the expected cash to be recovered in the then-anticipated sale of the joint venture interests.  The anticipated sale has since been terminated.  At the end of the current quarter, management evaluated the stated value of the investment and concluded that, because the joint venture projects have been largely inactive for about two years and because management has been unsuccessful in negotiating a sale or restructure of the joint venture assets and other factors, that the value of the Company’s investment in the joint venture companies should be impaired by an additional $940,240 bringing the carrying value to zero.  Should the Company eventually sell the joint venture interests, the Company would recognize a gain at that time.

Inflation
 
The Company's results of operations have not been significantly affected by inflation and management does not expect inflation to have a significant effect on its operations in the foreseeable future.

Oil and gas properties
 
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas properties, whereby all costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration for and development of petroleum and natural gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include costs of acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil and gas wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil properties will be accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the

relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss will be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

As of May 31, 2010, the Company had oil and gas property investments in the amount of $3,164,582 that are excluded from amortization because reserves have not been proven to be associated with those properties. If proved reserves are found and when its quantity can be estimated, costs in excess of the present value of estimated future net revenues will be charged to impairment expense. The Company will apply the full cost ceiling test on a quarterly basis on the date of the latest consolidated balance sheet presented.  The operator of the interest is currently drilling an initial exploratory well.  It is not known at this time if any recoverable reserves of oil and gas exist.

Asset retirement costs will be recognized when an asset is placed in service and will be included in the amortization base and will be amortized over proved reserves using the units of production method.  Depletion of proved oil and gas properties will be calculated on the units-of-production method based upon estimates of proved reserves. Such calculations include the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves. Costs of unproved properties are not included in the costs subject to depletion. These costs will also be assessed quarterly for ceiling test impairment.  

Asset Retirement Obligation
 
GAAP requires that an asset retirement obligation (ARO) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable. Under this method, when liabilities for dismantlement and abandonment costs, excluding salvage values, are initially recorded, the carrying amount of the related oil and natural gas properties is increased. The fair value of the ARO asset and liability is measured using expected future cash outflows discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. Accretion of the liability is recognized each period using the interest method of allocation, and the capitalized cost is depleted using the units of production method. Should either the estimated life or the estimated abandonment costs of a property change materially upon the Company’s quarterly review, a new calculation is performed using the same methodology of taking the abandonment cost and inflating it forward to its abandonment date and then discounting it back to the present using the Company’s credit-adjusted-risk-free rate. The carrying value of the asset retirement obligation is adjusted to the newly calculated value, with a corresponding offsetting adjustment to the asset retirement cost related to oil and gas property accounts.  At May 31, 2010, the Company has no asset retirement obligations.

Basic Loss Per Share
 
The Company is required to provide basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share information.  The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the period ended May 31, 2010, there were no potentially dilutive securities issued so diluted net loss per common share equals basic net loss per share.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gulf United Energy, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gulf United Energy del Peru, Ltd. as of May 31, 2010. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions
 
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an entity’s financial statements.  GAAP requires an entity to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely that not that the position will we sustained upon examination. The Company believes that all significant tax positions utilized by the Company will more likely than not be sustained upon examination.  As of the Company’s fiscal year-end, August 31, 2009, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are from the year 2006 forward (with limited exceptions). Tax penalties and interest, if any, would be accrued as incurred and would be classified as tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to improve disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance requires entities to disclose significant transfers in and out of fair value hierarchy levels, the reasons for the transfers and to present information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements separately in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Additionally, the guidance clarifies that a reporting entity should provide fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities and disclose the inputs and valuation techniques used for fair value measurements using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). As this guidance provides only disclosure requirements, the adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
 
Also in January, 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance for oil and gas reserve estimation and disclosure for oil and gas-producing activities.  The Company has adopted all of the amended guidance for oil and gas reserve estimation and disclosures for oil and gas-producing activities in these financial statements.

3.     INTEREST IN JOINT VENTURE PROJECTS
 
On March 22, 2006, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Cia. Mexicana de Gas Natural, S.A. de C.V. (“CMGN”), a private Mexican corporation, whereby the Company would acquire a 50% interest in a joint venture to be formed (the “Gulf United/CMGN Joint Venture”). The Company contributes cash to the Gulf United/CMGN Joint Venture and CMGN contributed its 24% equity interest in a proposed project to design, construct, operate and maintain an open access natural gas pipeline between Valladolid, Cancun and Punta Venado, as well as its initial 24% equity interest in a project to build a proposed LNG storage and regasification facility. The Company borrowed $200,000 from a stockholder to make the initial advance required under the letter of intent. No additional payments were made. The letter of intent was terminated on May 22, 2006 and the investment in the joint venture was transferred to a stockholder of the Company in full settlement of the debt.
 
Subsequent to August 31, 2006, the Company entered into an amended letter of intent with CMGN whereby the general terms of the initial letter of intent were reinstated. The amended letter of intent acknowledged $1,013,985 had been advanced to CMGN on behalf of the Company, by a Company stockholder, (including the initial advance of $200,000) pursuant to the original letter of intent. In order to earn its 50% in the Gulf United/CMGN Joint Venture, the Company paid an additional $250,000 to CMGN and issued 935,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock to CMGN valued at $687,225 following the execution of the joint venture agreements.

The Company entered into a loan agreement with a stockholder covering funds advanced on its behalf. The loan was secured by the Company’s equity interest in the joint venture entities and bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded monthly, and was due in full on January 31, 2010.  On March 12, 2010, the Company entered into a debt conversion agreement with respect to $1,639,685 of outstanding debt owed to the stockholder, as disclosed under Note 8 – Shareholder Loans Payable and Accrued Interest.  
 
The value of the joint venture investment was impaired in the amount of $1,010,970 and adjusted as of May 31, 2009 to reflect the present value of the then-agreed sale amount of $1,000,000 as discussed under Note 1 – Sale of Joint Venture Interests - Terminated. The valuation was completed utilizing level 3 inputs, using a 10% discount rate on funds to be received after the anticipated sale closing date.  During the current quarter, the joint venture investment was impaired further in the amount of $940,240 to reflect management’s view that as of May 31, 2010, the investment has zero value.

Condensed audited balance sheets for the joint venture entities as of August 31, 2009 are included below:

6.    INCOME TAXES
 
Potential benefits of net operating income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not.  The Company has incurred net operating losses totaling $3,687,232, which commence expiring in 2023 if not previously utilized. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefit of net operating losses and the impairment charge has been offset by a valuation allowance in these condensed consolidated financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not to utilize the net operating losses carried forward and the impairment charge(s) to be realized in future years.

On March 12, 2010, the Company entered into a debt conversion agreement with respect to the outstanding debt owed to the stockholder, pursuant to which Mr. Askew converted $400,000 of the outstanding debt into 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s unregistered, restricted common stock.  20,000,000 of these shares were issued after the end of the current quarter as described under Note 10 – Subsequent Events.  Prior to conversion of the debt, Mr. Askew agreed to forgive all $631,444 of interest accrued on the Debt through March 11, 2010. The interest forgiven by the shareholder was recorded as additional paid-in capital. For the remaining amount payable to Mr. Askew, the Company issued a new one-year promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $1,089,685 (the “New Note”) after a $150,000 principal payment in cash.  The New Note is unsecured, bears interest at 10% per annum and matures upon the earlier of (i) March 31, 2011 or (ii) the closing of any equity or equity equivalent financing, or the last of any such equity or equity equivalent financings, in which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000 subsequently increased to $10,000,000 (see Note 10). Interest payments are due quarterly beginning June 30, 2010.  On June 15, the New Note was amended as described under Note 10 – Subsequent Events.

Between April 26, 2010 and May 31, 2010, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $2,250,000 through the issuance of unsecured promissory notes which mature on April 26, 2011. The notes bear interest at 8% annually with all interest and principal due at maturity. As additional consideration for the purchasers of the notes, the Company issued 22,500,000 shares of its common unregistered, restricted common stock or 10 shares for each dollar of the notes.  These notes are subordinate to the first loan described under Note – 8 Shareholders Loans Payable and Accrued Interest.  The notes were discounted based on the fair market value of the common stock received (determined with the assistance of independent valuation experts) as a percentage of the total fair market value of all consideration received.  The resulting note discount is being amortized as additional interest expense over the twelve month life of the note and is being calculated based on a normal amortization schedule using the interest method.

 
Subsequent to May 31, 2010, the Company issued additional short-term promissory notes and issued additional unregistered, restricted common shares as described under Note 10 – Subsequent Events.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Joint Venture Commitments
 
As reflected herein, the Company has entered into a joint venture agreement which requires funding currently estimated to be approximately $16,800,000 with respect to the Company's 12% interest in the proposed pipeline project.  Additional amounts will be required to fund the Company’s 12% interest in the proposed LNG storage and re-gasification project. At this time, the Company does not know, and cannot reasonably estimate, its portion of the costs associated with the proposed LNG storage and re-gasification project. Because the Company is solely an investor in the joint ventures and not the operator, management of the Company is currently unable to determine precisely when the funding amounts will become due or the amounts that will be required.  The Company currently does not have adequate resources to meet its funding requirements.  Should the Company be unable to fund the required amounts on a timely basis, the joint venture interests may be forfeited to the Company’s joint venture partner.

Due to the current state of the global economy, the difficulties of the financial markets and relatively low oil and gas prices, among other things, there is no assurance that either of these projects will be constructed.  Because construction of these proposed projects has not commenced, and because the Company lacks the resources to fund its share of construction costs, coupled with the current state of the world economy, it is possible that these projects will not be built according to schedule or may not be built at all.  Because the projects have been on hold for a long period and other factors, management has determined to impair the value of the joint venture investment to zero.
 
Entry into participation agreement – Investment in oil and gas properties
 
On March 12, 2010, the Company, through its subsidiary Gulf United Energy del Peru Ltd., entered into a participation agreement (the “Participation Agreement”) with Upland Oil and Gas, LLC (“Upland”). Pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement, the Company, through the Subsidiary, acquired from Upland an up to 35% working interest in Block XXIV Peru, an approximately 280,000 acre onshore and offshore property, and an up to 35% working interest in the Peru TEA, which consists of four contiguous blocks totaling approximately 40,000,000 acres.  Upland will serve as the operator on both Block XXIV and the Peru TEA. Pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement, the Company will pay Upland up to $4,100,000 for costs and expenses incurred prior to March 12, 2010 (“past costs”) on Block XXIV. $200,000 was paid upon the execution of the Participation Agreement, $450,000 has been paid through May 31st and $700,000 has been paid through the date of this 10Q toward past costs. The Company will also pay Upland up to the first $6,000,000 for drilling costs and expenses incurred on Block XXIV after which costs and expenses will be shared pro-rata amongst the parties.  $1,763,391 has been paid toward these current expenses through May 31, 2010.  With respect to the Peru TEA, the Company will pay up to the first $1,500,000 of the ongoing costs and expenses incurred on the Peru TEA after which costs and expenses will be shared pro-rata amongst the parties.  The Company had not paid any of these costs as of May 31, 2010, but has made a $250,000 payment toward the Peru TEA ongoing costs as of the date of this 10-Q.  The Company is entitled to receive 70% of the revenue from Block XXIV attributable to the Company’s and Upland’s respective participation interests (in excess of costs and expenses incurred under the Block XXIV joint operating agreement attributable to the Company’s and Upland’s Block XXIV participation interests) until the Company has recovered its costs related to Block XXIV and the Peru TEA.  After the recovery of such costs, revenues will be shared between the parties pro-rata in accordance with the parties’ respective interests. Pursuant to the Participation Agreement, Upland has spudded one well prior to June 1, 2010 and, to date, has not spudded any additional wells. 

The Company acquired the right to enter into the Participation Agreement from James M. Askew, John B. Connally III, Ernest B. Miller IV, and Rodeo Resources, LP, an entity owned by Jim Ford (collectively the “Assignors”, all of which are significant shareholders of the Company) pursuant to an assignment agreement dated March 12, 2010 (the “Assignment”), under which the Company paid the Assignors a $600,000 fee by issuing to the Assignors 60,000,000 unregistered, restricted shares of the Company’s common stock:  20,000,000 each to Mr. Askew and Mr. Connally, 10,000,000 each to Mr. Miller and Rodeo Resources, LP. 20,000,000 of the shares were not issued until after the end of the current quarter as described under Note 10 - Subsequent Events.  The $600,000 fee was capitalized as part of the acquisition cost of the participation agreement and reflected on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as “Investment in oil and gas properties”.

The Assignors also reserved a 2% overriding royalty interest in all oil, gas and other minerals produced and saved for the benefit of the Company on Block XXIV, the Peru TEA, and certain other interests that may subsequently be assigned to the Company pursuant to the Assignment.
 
As of May 31, 2010, the Company, through its subsidiary, has paid $2,213,391, in cash, to Upland pursuant to the participation agreement and has accrued and capitalized an additional $250,000 that was paid in early June, 2010. In addition to the costs paid to Upland and the fee paid to the Assignors, the Company issued 2,000,000 unregistered, restricted common shares valued at $20,000 to two individuals who assisted in closing the acquisition of the participation agreement and 2,000,000 unregistered, restricted common shares valued at $20,000 to one individual for geophysical and geotechnical evaluation of the Peru properties. The Company also incurred legal fees in the amount of $61,191 related to researching the properties and for negotiating and drafting the documents to acquire the participation agreement. All these costs have been capitalized and will be amortized only upon discovery, quantification and depletion of proved reserves. As the operating partner, Upland is currently drilling an exploratory well with an expected completion prior to the end of the current fiscal year (August 31, 2010).
 
Management does not expect to provide additional funding until significant data is available from the exploratory well; however, management is in receipt of an additional funding request related to the Peru TEA in the amount of $1,500,000 of which $250,000 has been paid as noted above.  Management is negotiating the timing for paying the remaining balance.  The Company will be required to raise additional funds through equity or debt offerings in order to fund this payment and future required payments. Failure to fully fund the participation agreement could result in a reduction in the working interest the Company acquired in the oil and gas properties.

Entry into tentative letter agreement and definitive agreement
 
On October 30, 2009, the Company entered into a tentative letter of intent with SK Energy Co., Ltd (“SK”) to acquire a 25% interest in Block CPO-4 in the Llanos Basin of Colombia.  This agreement has since terminated, but the Company has continued to negotiate with SK to acquire an interest in this property.  On April 5, 2010, the Company executed a letter agreement pursuant to which the Company has been offered an opportunity to participate as a 40% working interest partner in the 2.8 million acre offshore Peru block Z-46.   The Company has been actively negotiating with SK Energy and, on July 13, 2010, entered into an agreement as detailed under Note 10 – Subsequent Events. The Company may attempt to issue additional unregistered, restricted common shares, preferred shares or additional debt to fund some or all of this investment.

Entry into an agreement with our Chief Executive Officer
 
On March 1, 2010, the Company entered into a two-year agreement with Don Wilson for services to be rendered subsequent to March 1, 2010.  In order to retain Mr. Wilson as an executive and director of the Company, Mr. Wilson was issued 5,000,000 shares of unregistered, restricted common shares valued at $50,000 as a retention bonus. Also under the agreement, the Company will pay Mr. Wilson $180,000 before the end of calendar year 2010 and $180,000 in calendar year 2011 as compensation.

Entry into software license agreement
 
In March, 2010, the Company (through its wholly-owned subsidiary) began paying a twelve-month software license agreement with Seismic Micro-Technology for seismic analysis software.  The license agreement was entered into by the subsidiary on February 23, 2010, is payable in twelve monthly installments of $5,213 beginning March 25, 2010 for a total cost of $62,563. After the twelve-month period, subsidiary management may decide to pay may decide to pay a software maintenance fee, currently 16% of list price, or an annual cost of

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

This Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the annual report on Form 10-K and with other sections of this report, including the financial statements.

Plan of Operation

On March 12, 2010, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a Participation Agreement with Upland Oil and Gas LLC (Upland) and acquired from Upland an up to 35% working interest in Block XXIV Peru, an approximately 280,000 acre onshore and offshore property, and an up to 35% working interest in the Peru TEA, consisting of four contiguous blocks totaling approximately 40,000,000 acres.  This agreement is more fully described in Note 9 – Commitments and Contractual Obligations.  Upland will serve as operator on both Block XXIV and the Peru TEA.  Pursuant to the Participation Agreement, Upland has spudded one well prior to June 1, 2010 and, to date,  has not spudded any additional wells.

As reported in the 8K filed on July 19, 2010 and above under Note 10 – Subsequent Events, on July 13, 2010, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a farmout agreement with SK Energy Cuenca Trujillo, Ltd (SK), in which acquired the right to earn an undivided forty percent (40%) participation interest in Block Z-46, an approximately 2.8 million acre offshore block in Peru.   SK will serve as operator on Block Z-46.

Results of Operations for the Quarter and Nine Months Ended May 31, 2010

We have not earned any revenues during the period from inception through May 31, 2010.  The Company had an operating loss for the nine months ended May 31, 2010 of $1,633,588, and an accumulated net loss since inception of $3,687,232.  For the quarter, we incurred operating expenses of $411,681 and recorded an impairment loss on our interest in joint venture projects of $940,240 resulting in a net loss of $1,351,921 for the quarter ended May 31, 2010.  For the quarter ended May 31, 2009, we incurred operating expenses of $73,270 and recorded an impairment loss on our interest the in joint venture projects of $1,010,970, resulting in a net loss of $1,084,240. The increase in our net loss in 2010 was primarily the result of the significant increases in professional fees, consulting costs, referral fees and interest cost related to raising additional funds in the current quarter and acquiring new investments.  Operating expenses in the nine months ended May 31, 2010 increased $445,489 over the same period in 2009.  The increases were in professional fees, consulting costs, referral fees and interest cost related to the new activities begun largely during the current quarter.  From inception through May 31, 2010, the Company has used $730,082 of net cash in operating activities, used $2,543,523 of net cash in investing activities and $3,365,824 of net cash was provided by financing activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At May 31, 2010, the Company has current assets of $139,219 and current liabilities of $2,997,474, resulting in a working capital deficit of $2,858,255.  In March 2010, the Company entered into a debt conversion agreement relating to the $2,264,228 shareholder loan owed to James M. Askew whereby Mr. Askew: (i) forgave $631,444 of accrued interest, (ii) received $150,000 in cash, (iii) converted $400,000 in principal for 40,000,000 shares of common stock and (iv) entered into a new unsecured note in the principal amount of $1,089,685 maturing on March 31, 2011.  Through May 31, 2010, we have received cash of $587,500 from the sale of 59,750,000 shares of common stock.  In addition, through July 20, the Company has raised $2,800,000 in short-term debt and issued 28,000,000 shares of common stock as additional consideration. Other than the loans noted above, the Company has no other external credit facilities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION, Cont.

The Company will be required to raise funds in order to satisfy its obligations pursuant to the Participation Agreement.  As of July 20, 2010 the Company has paid $2,713,391 to Upland.  The Company is required to pay Upland up to $4,100,000 in “Past Costs” plus up to the first $6,000,000 for drilling costs and expenses incurred on Block XXIV and up to the first $1.5 million of the ongoing costs and expenses incurred on the Peru TEA. While the timing of the funding requirements is not clear, the Company will have to raise additional debt or equity funds to fulfill these obligations in the near term.

Because the Company has terminated the agreement to sell the Company’s interest in the Mexican joint ventures, the ability to generate cash from this investment is currently uncertain; however, management believes that there will be no requirement to fund joint venture operations and further, during the current quarter, the investment value has been impaired to zero value as a result of multiple factors and this is reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements.  Should joint venture operations resume, the joint venture agreement requires the Company to provide funding currently estimated to be $16,800,000 with respect to the Company’s 12% interest in the proposed pipeline project.  Additional amounts would be required to fund the Company’s 12% interest in the proposed LNG storage and regasification project.  At this time, the Company does not know, and cannot reasonably estimate, its portion of the costs associated with the proposed LNG storage and regasification project.

The Company will need to raise or borrow additional cash to fund current commitments and operating expenses for the current fiscal year. In addition, the Company is required to make quarterly interest payments of approximately $27,242 on the shareholder note payable until it is due in full on March 11, 2011.  The Company has no current credit facilities and will continue to rely on best efforts equity and/or debt financings which may not be successful.  We have not attained profitable operations and are, therefore, dependent upon obtaining additional best efforts debt or equity financing in order to remain in business.  If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing, there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.  Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion for our financial statements due to their substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure results from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.  The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk based on the Company’s investment in two joint venture entities based in Mexico as well as its investment in Peru.  The Company funds the joint venture and reports the joint venture investment in US dollars, but the financial statements of the entities are prepared in Mexican pesos and converted to US dollars.  Fluctuations in the value of the US dollar relative to the value of the Mexican peso could affect the value of our investment.  Similarly, if we are required to reimburse expenses originally denominated in Peruvian currency, our total cost could increase. We don’t expect that this risk will have a material impact on future financial statements.  The Company is not exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates.  The interest rate on all Company debt instruments is fixed.  We do not currently own marketable securities, use interest rate swaps, futures contracts, options on futures or other types of derivative financial instruments. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, have concluded that, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.   We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers (whom we refer to in this periodic report as our Certifying Officers), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Certifying Officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2010, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act.

Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of May 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
 
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. These limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management’s override of a control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

PART II- OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
We are not subject to any material pending legal proceedings.
 
Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
As a result of the recent entry into a participation agreement, the company is now subject to risk factors in addition to those previously disclosed under Item 1 of the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 15, 2009:
 
GEOPOLITICAL INSTABILITY WHERE WE OPERATE SUBJECTS US TO POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES.

The Company will participate in an operation doing business in Peru which is in a region of the world where there have been civil wars, instability and internecine conflicts. External or internal political forces could create a political climate that could lead to a change in political leadership, the outbreak of hostilities, or civil unrest. Such uncertainties could result in our having to cease Peru operations and could result in the loss or delay of our rights under the participation agreement and the loss of all or part of our investment in oil and gas properties which totaled $3,164,582 as of May 31, 2010.

Further, we face political and economic risks and other uncertainties with respect to this operation, which may include, among other things:

 
·
loss of revenue, property and equipment as a result of hazards such as expropriation, war, acts of terrorism, insurrection and other political risks;
 
·
increases in taxes and governmental royalties;
 
·
unilateral renegotiation of contracts by governmental entities;
 
·
difficulties enforcing our rights against a governmental agency because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity and foreign sovereignty over international operations;
 
·
changes in laws and policies governing operations of foreign-based companies;
 
·
currency restrictions and exchange rate fluctuations; and,
 
·
our inability to raise capital necessary to fund our continuing investment and operating requirements.

Operations in Peru may also be adversely affected by laws and policies of the United States affecting foreign trade and taxation.  Realization of any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business plan, financial position, results of operations and future cash flows.

WE DO NOT HAVE RESERVE REPORTS RELATED TO OUR PARTICIPATION INTEREST IN PERU AND OUR EXPECTATIONS AS TO OIL AND GAS RESERVES ARE UNCERTAIN AND MAY VARY SUBSTANTIALLY FROM ACTUAL PRODUCTION.

We do not have any reserve reports, geology or petroleum engineering reports for our interests in Block XXIV or the Peru TEA.  A reserve report reflects the estimated quantities of oil and gas based on reports prepared by third party reserve engineers.  Reserve reporting is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and natural gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner.  Because we do not have any proven reserves, our expectations as to oil and gas reserves are uncertain.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors, Cont.
 
WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER ACTIVITIES ON PROPERTIES WE DO NOT OPERATE, WHICH COULD REDUCE OUR PRODUCTION AND REVENUES.

If we do not operate the properties in which we own an interest, we do not have control over normal operating procedures, expenditures or future development of underlying properties. The failure of an operator of our wells to adequately perform operations or an operator's breach of the applicable agreements could reduce our anticipated future production and revenues. The success and timing of our drilling and development activities on properties operated by others, therefore, depends upon a number of factors outside of our control, including the operator's timing and amount of capital expenditures, expertise and financial resources, inclusion of other participants in drilling wells and use of technology.

WE HAVE NO ABILITY TO CONTROL THE PRICES THAT WE MAY RECEIVE FOR OIL AND GAS.  OIL AND GAS PRICES ARE VOLATILE AND A SUBSTANTIAL OR EXTENDED DECLINE IN PRICES COULD ADVERSLY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, ABILITY TO OBTAIN FINANCING AND FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS.

We have no source of revenue at this time. Our financial viability is based solely on our ability to sell equity or debt securities to investors or enter into a joint venture or similar strategic relationship with an industry partner, sell a portion of our interest in Block XXIV or the Peru TEA, or borrow funds.  We expect that entering into these partnering relationships would entail transferring a portion of our interest in Block XXIV or the Peru TEA to such partner.  Such investors would consider the price of oil and gas, among other things, in making an investment decision.  Declines in oil and gas prices may adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, ability to obtain financing and operating results. Low oil and gas prices also may reduce the amount of oil and gas that we could produce economically, if any. Low oil and gas prices in the future could have a negative effect on our future financial results. Historically, oil and gas prices and markets have been volatile, with prices fluctuating widely, and they are likely to continue to be volatile. Prices for oil and gas are subject to wide fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. These factors include:
 
 
·
the level of domestic and foreign supplies of oil;
 
·
the level of consumer product demand;
 
·
weather conditions;
 
·
political conditions in oil producing regions throughout the world;
 
·
the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls; 
 
·
the price of foreign oil imports;
 
·
actions of governments;
 
·
domestic and foreign governmental regulations;
 
·
the price, availability and acceptance of alternative fuels;
 
·
overall economic conditions;
 
·
value of the U.S. dollar;
 
·
war and/or terrorist activities; and,
 
·
world economic conditions.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors, Cont.
 
These factors and the volatile nature of the energy markets make it impossible to predict oil and gas prices. Our inability to respond appropriately to changes in these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business plan, financial position, results of operations and future cash flows.

INVESTMENT IN THE OIL AND GAS BUSINESS IS RISKY AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN DISCOVERING OIL AND GAS.

Oil and gas exploration and development are inherently speculative activities. There is no certain method to determine whether or not a given lease or concession will produce oil or gas or yield oil or gas in sufficient quantities and quality to result in commercial production. The development of a lease or concession may result in dry holes or in the discovery of oil or gas that is not commercially feasible to produce. There is no guarantee that we may find oil or gas in commercial quantities.  There is no guarantee that a producing asset will continue to produce. Because of the high degree of risk involved, there can be no assurance that we will recover any portion of our investment or that our investment in leases will be profitable.  Drilling activities are subject to numerous risks, including the significant risk that we do not reach our target reservoir or that no commercially productive reserve is encountered.  The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells and of installing production facilities and pipelines is often uncertain.  Drilling costs could be significantly higher if we encounter difficulty in drilling offshore.

The quantities of oil and gas that we may produce and deliver may be affected by factors beyond our control, such as the inability of the wells to deliver at the necessary quality and pressure, premature exhaustion of reserves, changes in governmental regulations affecting allowable production and priority allocations, weather, natural events, and price limitations imposed by governmental agencies.  If any of the foregoing risks occurred, our future revenue potential could be substantially reduced.

THERE ARE DRILLING AND OPERATIONAL HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY WHICH COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL LOSSES.

The oil and gas industry involves a variety of operating risks, including:
 
 
·
blowouts, cratering and explosions;
 
·
mechanical and equipment problems;
 
·
uncontrolled flows of oil and gas or well fluids;
 
·
fires;
 
·
marine hazards with respect to offshore operations;
 
·
formations with abnormal pressures;
 
·
pollution and other environmental risks;
 
·
and natural disasters.
 
Offshore operations are subject to a variety of operating risks peculiar to the marine environment, such as capsizing and collisions.  Also, offshore operations are subject to damage or loss from adverse weather conditions.

Any of these events could result in loss of human life, significant damage to property, environmental pollution, clean-up costs, reimbursements for lost revenues and profits of third parties, impairment of our operations and substantial losses. Locating pipelines near populated areas, including residential areas, commercial business centers and industrial sites, could increase these risks. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business plan, financial position, results of operations and future cash flows.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors, Cont.
 
WE ARE SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS OF WHICH THE COST OF COMPLIANCE MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FUTURE CASH FLOW.

Oil and gas operations in Peru and the U.S. are subject to extensive government regulation and to interruption or termination by governmental authorities on account of ecological and other considerations.  It is impossible to predict future government proposals that might be enacted into law and the effect they might have on us.  Restrictions on oil and gas activities, such as production restrictions, price controls, tax increases and pollution and environmental controls may have material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and future cash flows.

THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY IS SUBJECT TO HAZARDS RELATED TO POLUTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES WHICH MAY CREATE SUBSTANTIAL LIABILITIES TO THIRD PARTIES.

Hazards in the drilling and/or the operation of gas and oil properties, such as accidental leakage or spillage, are sometimes encountered. Such hazards may cause substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities, the payment of which could adversely affect our liquidity or result in the loss of our leases. We may be subject to liability for pollution and other damages due to environmental events.  Environmental regulatory matters also could increase substantially the cost of doing business, may cause delays in producing oil and gas or require the modification of operations in certain areas.

Our operations are subject to numerous stringent and complex laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements, and the imposition of injunctions to force future compliance.

Government regulations may require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations. In addition, there may be are statutes, rules and regulations governing conservation matters, including the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties, establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells and the spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells. Such statutes and regulations may limit the rate at which oil and gas could otherwise be produced from our properties and may restrict the number of wells that may be drilled on a particular lease or in a particular field.

THE SUCCESS OF OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO FIND, DEVELOP AND ACQUIRE OIL AND GAS RESERVES.

We hope to find certain reserves of gas and oil that can be profitably exploited. There is, however, no guarantee that we will find reserves that will economically produce. Future drilling activities could subject us to many risks, including the risk that we will not find commercially productive reservoirs. Drilling for oil and natural gas can be unprofitable, not only from dry wells, but from productive wells that do not produce sufficient revenues to return a profit. Also, title problems, weather conditions, governmental requirements and shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment and services can delay our drilling operations or result in their cancellation. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is often uncertain, and new wells may not be productive. As a result, we may not recover all or any portion of our investment. Moreover, if natural gas and oil prices decline, the amount of natural gas and oil we can economically produce may be reduced, which may result in a material decline in our revenues, if any.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors, Cont.
 
THE UNAVAILABILITY OR HIGH COST OF DRILLING RIGS, EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, PERSONNEL AND OILFIELD SERVICES COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT US.

Drilling activity offshore Peru will require that we have access to an offshore drilling rig. Unavailability, shortages or increases in the cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies or personnel could delay or adversely affect our Peru operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary equipment or that services will be available at economical prices.

EXPANSION OF OUR EXPLORATION PROGRAM WILL REQUIRE CAPITAL FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES.

We do not have the financial resources to fund our current commitments.  Absent raising additional capital, we will not be able to fulfill our financial obligations under the Participation Agreement.  There is no assurance that capital will be available in the future to us or that capital will be available under terms acceptable to us. We will need to raise additional money, either through the sale of equity securities (which would dilute the existing stockholders' interest), through the entering of joint venture agreements (which, while limiting our risk, would reduce our ownership interest in the working interests), or from borrowings, if available, from third parties (which could result in our assets being pledged as collateral and which would increase our debt service requirements).

Additional capital could be obtained from a combination of funding sources, many of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. These potential funding sources and the potential adverse effects attributable thereto, include:

 
·
additional offerings of equity securities, which would cause dilution of our common stock holders;
 
·
sales of interests in the exploration program, which would reduce future revenues, if any, from that program;
 
·
borrowings, if available, from financial institutions, which may subject us to certain restrictive covenants, including covenants restricting our ability to raise additional capital or pay dividends; and
 
·
debt offerings, which would increase our leverage and add to our need for cash to service such debt (which could result in additional assets being pledged as collateral and which would increase our debt service requirements); due to current conditions prevailing in the credit markets, it is unlikely we  would have any success borrowing money to fund a drilling program.

It is difficult to quantify the amount of financing or equity we may need to fund our business plan.  The amount of funding we may need in the future depends on various factors such as:

 
·
the amount and timing of funding required;
 
·
our financial position;
 
·
the prevailing market price of natural gas and oil;
 
·
number and costs of projects; and
 
·
the lead time required to bring any discoveries to production
 
Our ability to raise additional capital will depend on the results of operations and the status of various capital and industry markets at the time such additional capital is sought. Capital may not become available to us from any particular source or at all. Even if additional capital becomes available, it may not be on terms acceptable to us. Failure to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms will have a material adverse effect on our business plan, financial position, results of operations and future cash flows.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors, Cont.
 
DRILLING WELLS COULD RESULT IN NEW LIABILITIES, WHICH COULD ENDANGER OUR INTERESTS IN OUR PROPERTIES AND ASSETS.

There are risks associated with the drilling of oil and natural gas wells which could significantly reduce our revenues or cause substantial losses, impairing our future operating results. We may become subject to liability for pollution, blow-outs or other hazards. Our joint venture partners may intend to obtain insurance with respect to these hazards, but such insurance has limitations on liability that may not be sufficient to cover the full extent of such liabilities. The payment of such liabilities could reduce the funds available to us or could, in an extreme case, result in a total loss of our properties and assets. Moreover, we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates that are considered reasonable. Oil and natural gas production operations are also subject to all the risks typically associated with such operations, including, but not limited to, premature decline of reservoirs and the invasion of water into producing formations.

WE HAVE COMPETITION FROM OTHER COMPANIES THAT HAVE LARGER FINANCIAL AND OTHER RESOURCES THAT PUT US AT A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE.

A large number of companies and individuals engage in drilling for gas and oil, and there is competition for the most desirable prospects. We will encounter intense competition from other companies and other entities in the sale of our oil and gas production. We could be competing with numerous oil and gas companies which have financial resources significantly greater than ours. The quantities of gas and oil to be delivered by us may be affected by factors beyond our control, such as the inability of the wells to deliver at the necessary quality and pressure, premature exhaustion of reserves, changes in governmental regulations affecting allowable production and priority allocations and price limitations imposed by Federal and state regulatory agencies, as well as foreign governments.

WE ARE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON OUR MANAGEMENT, DIRECTOR AND CONSULTANTS AND ANY FAILURE TO RETAIN THE SERVICES OF SUCH PARTIES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE OUR OPERATIONS OR SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS PLAN.

The successful implementation of our business strategy is highly dependent on our management, director and certain key geoscientists, geologists, engineers and other professionals engaged by us.  The loss of management, directors or other highly qualified technical professionals could adversely affect our ability to effectively manage our overall operations or successfully execute current or future business strategies which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

THE CURRENT RECESSION COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR FINANCIAL POSITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND CASH FLOWS.

The oil and gas industry is cyclical in nature and tends to reflect general economic conditions.  The US and other world economies are in a recession that may lead to significant fluctuations in demand and pricing for crude oil and natural gas production.  Our business plan will likely be significantly affected by decreased demand and lower crude oil and natural gas prices.  If crude oil and natural gas prices continue to decline, there could be impairment of operating assets.  Our future access to capital, as well as that of our contractors, could be limited due to tightening credit markets that could inhibit our business development.

OUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY VENDORS AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ADEQUATE SERVICES.

We are dependent on industry vendors for the success of our oil and gas exploration projects. We could be harmed if we fail to attract quality industry vendors to participate in our exploration and production activities.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors, Cont.
 
NEW INVESTORS OR COMMERCIAL PARTNERS MAY REQUIRE PARTICIPATION INTERESTS WHICH COULD DECREASE FUTURE PROFITABILITY.

The pace of exploration and the level of operations may be determined by the amount of funding available. If funding is limited, exploration may be continued under agreements that provide investors or commercial partners with a participation interest in a particular property held by us. Under this type of arrangement, an investor or commercial partner would invest in a specific property and receive a negotiated interest in that specific property. This would reduce the potential profitability of the remaining interest in the property and reduce our ability to control and manage the property. We expect that entering into these partnering relationships would entail transferring a portion of our interest in the working interests to such partner.

WE MAY EXPERIENCE FLUCTUATIONS IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Any future revenues may be affected by a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control, including (a) the success of project results; (b) swings in availability of drilling services needed to implement projects and the pricing of such services; (c) a volatile oil and gas pricing market which may make certain projects that we undertake uneconomic; (d) our ability to attract qualified employees and consultants; and (e) the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to conducting our business operations and infrastructure. As a result of our limited operating history and the emerging nature of our business plan, it is currently impossible to forecast revenues or earnings, if any, accurately and they may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.

OUR MANAGEMENT AND CERTAIN KEY INVESTORS CONTROL A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF OUR CURRENT OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK; THEIR INTERESTS MAY CONFLICT WITH THOSE OF OUR OTHER SHAREHOLDERS.

Our directors, executive officers, and 5% investors and their affiliates collectively and beneficially own or control a majority of our voting power. This concentration of voting control gives these persons substantial influence over any matters which require a shareholder vote, including, without limitation, the election of directors, even if their interests may conflict with those of other shareholders. It could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of the Company. This could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock or prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over the then prevailing market prices for their shares of common stock.
