SECTION 2 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2.01 - Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On May 5, 2010, Gulfstar Energy Corporation ("the Company") entered into Share
Exchange Agreement (Agreement) with Talon Energy Corporation (Talon). Talon is a
Florida Company engaged in management activities in the oil and gas industry.
The closing of the acquisition of Talon was contingent upon the delivery of
audited financial statements of Talon and the issuance and delivery of the
common stock of the Company and Talon. On June 24, 2010, the Agreement was
replaced by a Revised and Amended Share Exchange and Acquisition Agreement
providing essentially the same terms and requiring and contemplating the
delivery of a Share Exchange Agreement for approximately 60% of Gulfstar Energy
Group LLC and closing thereon and delivery of an Acquisition Agreement for
approximately 40% of Gulfstar Energy Group LLC. The Agreement provided for the
Company to issue 3,500,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the
shareholders of Talon in exchange for the issued and outstanding shares of
Talon. After the exchange of such shares the Company owns 100% of the issued and
outstanding stock of Talon.
On June 24, 2010, the Company entered into and completed a Share Exchange
Agreement with Jason Sharp and Timothy Sharp, officers and shareholders of
Gulfstar Energy Group, LLC, a Mississippi Limited Liability Company, for
approximately 60% of Gulfstar Energy Group LLC, for 11,659,659 shares
(restricted) of common stock of the Company.
The Acquisition Agreement with Gulfstar Energy Group LLC, provides for the
Acquisition of the remaining approximately 40% of the outstanding interests of
the LLC, but requires the effectiveness of a Registration Statement filed with
SEC to register shares for offering to the individual interest holders of
8,340,341 shares of common stock.
As a result, the Company now owns 60% of Gulfstar Energy Group LLC and 100% of
Talon Energy Corporation.
The new subsidiary, Gulfstar Energy Group, LLC operates a pipeline in Western
Kentucky and acts as syndicator of financing for wells and as the designated
operator for wells. It has mineral right leases on approximately 9,000 acres,
has acted as syndicator and operator of 24 natural gas wells in Kentucky, has
built and operates a 16 mile gas pipeline and is transporting gas.
Talon will be used to manage and coordinate financing for the pipeline business
expansion and future drilling.
The Company, through its subsidiaries, is currently focusing its operational
efforts, initially, on the operation and continuing construction of its,
pipeline gas system and management of existing oil and gas wells and intends to
be involved in oil and gas operation exploration and development drilling.
Geographically, focused on oil and non-conventional shale gas in the Illinois
Basin of Western Kentucky. The Company's strategic focus will be on lower risk
profile income producing oil and gas assets that have sizable developmental
drilling potential with multiple pay zones. The Company intends to focus its
pipeline development efforts on private producers of constrained and shut-in
natural gas assets in Western Kentucky. The Company intends to provide producers
in its area with a turn key solution of access to an additional developmental
drilling partner, midstream management, and to provide an economical downstream
solution to move existing production towards liquidity.

The Company completed the acquisition of Talon Energy Corporation on June 29,
2010 which brings management, transactional experience and cash to the Company.
The Company intends to leverage its assets to develop energy prospects for its
own account or co-venture with other companies which can benefit from an
association with the Company's pipelines and management.
Gulfstar Energy Group, LLC, has constructed 16 miles of pipeline infrastructure
with six additional miles of gathering lines has connected 14 wells and is in
the process of connecting another 24 wells to the lines. At least 50 additional
wells are available to the pipeline from other independent owners for
connection. Gulfstar Energy Group, LLC has pipeline operations in Kentucky which
is shipping gas to a burner tip purchaser. Gulfstar Energy Group, LLC intends to
flow gas to a Bowling Green processing plant by mid to late 2010, and will clean
and flow gas through a hot tap with Midwestern Gas Transmission, the Company's
transcontinental pipeline in late 2010 or early 2011.
Gulfstar Energy Group, LLC Subsidiary: (60%)
Presently, Gulfstar Energy Group, LLC ("Gulfstar Energy") holds interests
overriding royalties of 12.5% on 24 wells. Neither the Company nor Gulfstar
Energy Group, LLC holds interest in any wells. Under a management agreement with
the working interest holders, Gulstar Energy Group, LLC syndicated the financing
of these wells, provides operator services and over sees well operation. In
return for such services, the Company receives a net revenue only interest in
the wells of 12.5%. Gulfstar Energy has 9,000 acres under an 87 1/2% net lease
with 10,000 acres under option. Under its proposed drilling program, the Company
has managed the drilling of 24 wells to date all of which produce high BTU
content gas and 5 wells which produce a total 35 BPD of 45 gravity oil. Based on
initial well production, the Company believes further developmental work on its
existing wells is required to achieve desired gas production rates.

power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock and options, warrants
and convertible securities that are currently exercisable or convertible within
60 days of the date of this document into shares of the Company's common stock
are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding
the options, warrants or convertible securities for the purpose of computing the
percentage ownership of the person, but are not treated as outstanding for the
purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
The information below is based on the number of shares of the Company's common
stock that it believes was beneficially owned by each person or entity as of
June 30, 2010. All shares have been adjusted for the 1 for 8 reverse split.

Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 governs the determination
of beneficial ownership of securities. That rule provides that a beneficial
owner of a security includes any person who directly or indirectly has or shares
voting power and/or investment power with respect to such security. Rule 13d-3
also provides that a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who has
the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within sixty days,
including through the exercise of any option, warrant or conversion of a
security. Any securities not outstanding which are subject to such options,
warrants or conversion privileges are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose
of computing the percentage of outstanding securities of the class owned by such
person. Those securities are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of
computing the percentage of the class owned by any other person. Included in
this table are only those derivative securities with exercise prices that
Gulfstar believes have a reasonable likelihood of being "in the money" within
the next sixty days.

GULFSTAR ENERGY GROUP, LLC
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2010
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in
understanding the Company's financial statements. The policies conform to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements.
Company Operations
Gulfstar Energy Company, LLC (the "Company") is in the process of constructing a
pipeline and filtration system to gather natural gas from various gas wells
located throughout Kentucky, and deliver that gas to a local customer.
Development Stage Company
The Company was formed on May 19, 2006, in Mississippi. As of March 31, 2010,
principal operations have not yet commenced, and the Company has not generated
operating revenues. Current operations are devoted to the raising of capital to
construct and complete a gas pipeline supply system designed to gather natural
gas from surrounding gas wells located in the state of Kentucky and deliver this
gas to a single manufacturing customer. The Company is therefore considered a
development stage company under generally accepted accounting principles.
Accordingly, cumulative amounts from the Company's inception through March 31,
2010, are shown on the statements of operations and members' equity and cash
flows.
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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company, from time to time during the periods covered by these financial
statements, may have bank balances in excess of its insured limits. Management
has deemed this a normal business risk.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Construction in Progress
Construction in progress consists of costs incurred by the Company to construct
its natural gas pipeline. Amounts are being capitalized as incurred and will
begin depreciating once the pipeline is operational.
Property and Equipment
Management capitalizes additions to property and equipment. Expenditures for
repairs and maintenance are charged to expense. Property and equipment are
carried at cost. Adjustment of the asset and the related accumulated
depreciation accounts are made for property and equipment retirements and
disposals, with the resulting gain or loss included in the statements of
operations and members' equity.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of right of way deposits, which are contracts allowing
the Company to install pipeline on private land. The rights exist indefinitely;
accordingly, no amortization has been recorded. The Company evaluates these
assets for impairment on an annual basis.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes investment income from drilling partnerships upon the
partnerships' receipt of payment from customers.
Significant Customer
The Company's pipeline in process is currently designed to deliver natural gas
to one manufacturing customer located in Kentucky.
Depreciation
For financial reporting purposes, depreciation of property and equipment is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
assets at acquisition. For tax reporting purposes, depreciation of property and
equipment is computed using the straight-line and accelerated methods over the
estimated useful lives of assets at acquisition.
Income Taxes
The Company is a limited liability company and is not a tax paying entity for
federal tax purposes. It's pro rata shares of income, losses, and tax credits
are reported by its partners on their individual income tax returns. Therefore,
no provision for federal income taxes is made in the accompanying financial
statements.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Limited Liability Company adopted ASC guidance
regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies
the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold
an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the
financial statements and applies to all income tax positions. Each income tax
position is assessed using a two step process. A determination is first made as
to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be
sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing
authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than
not criteria, the benefit recorded in the financial statements equals the
largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate
settlement. At March 31, 2010, there were no uncertain tax positions that
require accrual.
None of the or Limited Liability Company's federal or state income tax returns
are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or state
authorities. However fiscal years 2006 and later remain subject to examination
by the IRS and respective states.
NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Note Receivable
At March 31, 2010, the Company was owed $82,325 from an officer of the Company.
The note is non-interest bearing, unsecured, and due no later than two years
after the completion of the pipeline, which was still under construction as of
March 31, 2010. The note is shown as long-term on the balance sheet, as
management does not anticipate repayment within one year.
Deposits
At March 31, 2010, the Company had deposits of $441,465 due to the drilling
partnerships described in Note 5.
NOTE 3 - NOTE RECEIVABLE
At March 31, 2010, the Company was owed $10,000 from an unrelated third party.
The note bears interest at 10%, is unsecured, and is due November 2010.
NOTE 4 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consist of the following at:
March 31,
2010
--------------------
Furniture $ 13,214
Vehicles 94,095
Pipeline Supply System 3,990,343
--------------------
4,097,652
Less: Accumulated Depreciation 33,159
--------------------
$ 4,064,493
====================
Depreciation expense was $4,386 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
NOTE 5 - DRILLING VENTURES
As of March 31, 2010, the Company holds net revenue interests of 12.5% in
various wells in Kentucky. The Company syndicates the financing of these wells
through working interest holders and provides management and operator services.
In return for these services, the Company receives net royalty revenue, only, in
the wells, of typically 12.5%.
As part of its services provided to the drilling partnerships, the Company
collects the contributions of the drilling partnerships' investors. Using these
funds, the Company pays for the expenses incurred by the partnerships. The
Company records no expenses of the partnerships on its own statements of
operations. The excess of contributions collected over partnership expenses paid
are shown as deposits on the balance sheet. As of March, 2010, the Company had
deposits due to the drilling partnerships in the amounts of $441,465.
NOTE 6 - LITIGATION SETTLEMENT PAYMENT
In March 2010, the Company settled certain environmental litigation. As a result
of the settlement, the Company is required to pay $70,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2010. This amount is included in Current Liabilities as of March
31, 2010. Additionally, the Company received $230,000 from a consultant
contracted by the Company for services provided which led to the environmental
litigation. The income from the settlement with the consultant is recognized as
Other Income on the Condensed Statement of Operations, for the quarter ended
March 31, 2010.
NOTE 7 - OPERATING LEASES
During April 2009, the Company entered into a lease agreement with an unrelated
third party for a second building. The lease agreement requires monthly payments
of $750 and expires April 2012. Total rent expense under this lease was $2,250
for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
The following is a schedule of minimum future rental payments under the
operating leases described above:

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of certain accounting policies followed in the
preparation of these financial statements. The policies conform to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been
consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Company Operations
Talon Energy Corporation is a C-corporation, which was incorporated on July 14,
2008, in the state of Florida. The Company is engaged in oil and gas
exploration, development drilling, and oil and gas production. The Company's
operations are focused in western Kentucky.
Development Stage Company
As of March 31, 2010, the Company has yet to generate operating revenue. Current
operations are devoted to attracting new investors and incurring expenses for
gas exploration and general business administration. The Company therefore is
considered a development stage company under generally accepted accounting
principles. Accordingly, cumulative amounts from the Company's inception through
March 31, 2010, are shown on the statements of operations and cash flows.
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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense includes federal deferred taxes arising from temporary
differences between income for financial reporting and income tax purposes.
Income taxes are provided at the applicable rates on the basis of items included
in the determination of income for income tax purposes. The Company's effective
income tax rate may be different than what would be expected if the Federal
statutory rate was applied to income from continuing operations primarily
because of expenses included in financial reporting income that are not
deductible for income tax purposes. The significant permanent difference is
meals and entertainment expense.
Deferred income taxes are provided for timing differences between financial
statement income and tax return income under the provisions of Accounting for
Income Taxes, which requires deferred income taxes be computed on the liability
method and deferred tax assets are recognized only when realization is certain.
The primary temporary differences arise from accrued expenses and net operating
loss carryforwards. The tax effect of such differences is included on the
statements of operations and balance sheet as an adjustment to deferred income
taxes.
Deferred income taxes totaled $203,600 at March 31, 2010 and have been recorded
as a short term asset.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC guidance regarding accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for
income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax
position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements
and applies to all income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On May 5, 2010, Gulfstar Energy Corporation ("the Company") entered into Share
Exchange Agreement (Agreement) with Talon Energy Corporation (Talon). Talon is a
Florida Company engaged in management activities in the oil and gas industry.
The closing of the acquisition of Talon was contingent upon the delivery of
audited financial statements of Talon and the issuance and delivery of the
common stock of the Company and Talon. On June 24, 2010, the Agreement was
replaced by a Revised and Amended Share Exchange and Acquisition Agreement
providing essentially the same terms and requiring and contemplating the
delivery of a Share Exchange Agreement for approximately 60% of Gulfstar Energy
Group LLC and closing thereon and delivery of an Acquisition Agreement for
approximately 40% of Gulfstar Energy Group LLC. The Agreement provided for the
Company to issue 3,509,530 restricted shares of its common stock to the
shareholders of Talon in exchange for the issued and outstanding shares of
Talon. After the exchange of such shares the Company owns 100% of the issued and
outstanding stock of Talon.
On June 24, 2010, the Company entered into and completed a Share Exchange
Agreement with Jason Sharp and Timothy Sharp, officers and shareholders of
Gulfstar Energy Group, LLC, a Mississippi Limited Liability Company, for
approximately 60% of Gulfstar Energy Group LLC, for 11,659,659 shares
(restricted) of common stock of the Company.
The Acquisition Agreement with Gulfstar Energy Group LLC, provides for the
Acquisition of the remaining approximately 40% of the outstanding interests of
the LLC, but requires the effectiveness of a Registration Statement filed with
the Securities Exchange Commission to register the remaining shares of common
stock offered to the individual interest holders of Gulfstar Energy Group, LLC.
The Gulfstar Energy Group, LLC and the Talon Energy acquisition were accounted
for as a reverse merger acquisition, in which Gulfstar Energy Group, LLC was
determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. On May 5, 2010, the
Company effected a reverse split of the common stock of Gulfstar Energy
Corporation in conjunction with the transactions with Talon Energy Corporation
and Gulfstar Energy Group, LLC. The reverse split was on a 1 for 8 basis.
The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet gives
effect to the acquisition as if it had been consummated on March 31, 2010.
