Notes to the financial statements
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)
(Unaudited)
July 31, 2011
 
Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
 
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They may not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2010 included in the Company’s Form 10K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 2011.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

a)  
Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited financial statements and the related notes of the Company are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is October 31.

b)  
Use of estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, fair value of sharebased payments, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

c)  
Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at July 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no items that affected comprehensive loss.

d)  
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

e)  
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current period.

Corporate Overview
 
Uniontown Energy Inc. is an independent oil and gas company whose focus is the acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas properties. Our company is focused on the acquisition, exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas properties. Our strategy is to build a portfolio of energy producing assets in known and producing oil and gas fields throughout North America.
 
Our company’s primary focus is to acquire high value leasehold interests specifically targeting oil and gas shale resource prospects in North America. We do not intend to limit our focus to any single geographic area because we want to remain flexible and intend to pursue the best opportunities available to us. We believe our competitive advantage is our ability to continue to acquire leases directly from the mineral owners through “organic leasing.” Because of our size and maneuverability, we are able to deploy our land acquisition teams into specific areas based on the latest industry information.

Revenue
 
We have not had any revenues from operations since inception (November 22, 2004). We do not anticipate that we will earn any revenues from operations unless and until we acquire and operate a profitable business. This might never happen and we can offer no assurance that even if we acquire a business that we will ever be profitable.

Our net cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 was $195,850 compared with $70,094 for the nine months ended July 31, 2010. Our management believes that we will need additional funding in order to meet our operating expenses.
 
Future Financings
 
To date, we have secured funding through a combination of sales of our common shares and debt.  Over the next three months, we may require additional funds.
 
These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. Further, we will continue to be unprofitable.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The interim unaudited financial statements and the related notes of our company are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in U.S. dollars. Our company’s fiscal year-end is October 31.
 
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, fair value of sharebased payments, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Our company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by our company may differ materially and adversely from our company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
 
Comprehensive Loss
 
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at July 31, 2011 and 2010, our company had no items that affected comprehensive loss.
 
 
RISK FACTORS
 
Investors should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be materially adversely affected. In such case, our company may not be able to proceed with its planned operations and your investment may be lost entirely.
 
Risks Related to our Company
 
We have had negative cash flows from operations and if we are not able to obtain further financing, our business operations may fail.
 
We had cash in the amount of $328,033 as of July 31, 2011. We anticipate that we may require additional financing while we are seeking a suitable business opportunity or business combination. Further, we anticipate that we will not have sufficient capital to fund our ongoing operations for the next 12 months. We may be required to raise additional financing for a particular business combination or business opportunity. We would likely secure any additional financing necessary through loans from related or third parties.
 
 
 
15

 
 
There can be no assurance that, if required, any such financing will be available upon terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all. Our inability to obtain additional financing in a sufficient amount when needed and upon terms and conditions acceptable to us could have a materially adverse effect upon our company. We will require further funds to finance the development of any business opportunity that we acquire. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available or available on terms satisfactory to us. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, further dilution to existing or future shareholders is likely to result. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate the development of any business opportunity that we acquire. Inadequate funding could also impair our ability to compete in the marketplace, which may result in the dissolution of our company.
 
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.
 
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because our operations have been primarily financed through the sale of equity securities and we may raise funds in the future through the sale of additional equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our continued operations. Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and would have a significant negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.
 
We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations.
 
We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies seeking to acquire or establish a new business opportunity. Some of these risks and uncertainties relate to our ability to identify, secure and complete an acquisition of a suitable business opportunity.
 
We cannot be sure that we will be successful in addressing these risks and uncertainties and our failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, our operating results are dependent to a large degree upon factors outside of our control. There are no assurances that we will be successful in addressing these risks, and failure to do so may adversely affect our business.
 
It is unlikely that we will generate any or significant revenues while we seek a suitable business opportunity. Our short and long-term prospects depend upon our ability to select and secure a suitable business opportunity. In order for us to make a profit, we will need to successfully acquire a new business opportunity in order to generate revenues in an amount sufficient to cover any and all future costs and expenses in connection with any such business opportunity. Even if we become profitable, we may not sustain or increase our profits on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.
 
We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until we complete a business combination or acquire a business opportunity. This may result in our company incurring a net operating loss which will increase continuously until we complete a business combination or acquire a business opportunity that can generate revenues that result in a net profit to us. There is no assurance that we will identify a suitable business opportunity or complete a business combination.
 
 
 
16

 
 
We have a history of losses and have a deficit, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
We have not generated any revenues since our inception and we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues until we are in commercial deployment. Our net loss from November 22, 2004 (date of inception) to July 31, 2011 was $1,051,935. We had cash of $328,033 as of July 31, 2011. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income. We cannot provide assurances that we will be able to successfully explore and develop our business. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as described in an explanatory paragraph to our independent auditors’ report on our audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2010. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, investors will likely lose all of their investments in our company.
 
The effect of existing or probable governmental regulations may have an effect on our business.
 
The United States government provides a large subsidy to oil companies, with major tax breaks at virtually every stage of oil exploration and extraction. Revenue attributable to capital investment, including the costs of oil field leases and drilling equipment, are taxed at an effective rate of nine percent, which is a much lower rate than the 25% rate for general business taxes and lower than the taxes of virtually any other industry, according to a 2005 study by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.
 
At this time, our company is not aware of any existing or pending regulations that may have a material impact.
 
Cost and effects of compliance with environmental laws (federal, state and local) may have an effect on our business.
 
In the U.S., extraction of oil and gas is generally regulated by the individual states through statutes and common law. Federal and constitutional laws apply as well. In the United States, oil and gas rights to a particular parcel may be owned by private individuals, corporations, Indian tribes, or by local, state, or federal governments. Oil and gas rights extend vertically downward from the property line. Unless explicitly separated by a deed, oil and gas rights are owned by the surface landowner. Once severed from surface ownership, oil and gas rights may be bought, sold, or transferred, like other real estate property.
 
Other potential regulations include those related to greenhouse gas emissions, hydraulic fracturing and tax incentives.
 
At this time, our company is not aware of any existing or pending regulations that may have a material impact.
 
The need for any government approval of principal products of services could affect our operations.
 
Our company requires a number of permits and bonds before drilling its leased properties from local, state and federal government agencies. Our oil and natural gas exploration, production and related operations, when developed, are subject to extensive rules and regulations promulgated by federal, state, tribal and local authorities and agencies. For example, Montana and Wyoming require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations and impose other requirements relating to the exploration and production of oil and natural gas. Such states may also have statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates of production from wells, and the regulation of spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells. Failure to comply with any such rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry will most likely increase our cost of doing business and may affect our profitability. Although we believe we are currently in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, because such rules and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted, we are unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with such laws. Significant expenditures may be required to comply with governmental laws and regulations and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
 
17

 
 
Environmental Matters.
 
Our operations and properties are subject to extensive and changing federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of materials into the environment, and relating to safety and health. The recent trend in environmental legislation and regulation generally is toward stricter standards, and this trend will likely continue. These laws and regulations may:
 
·  
require the acquisition of a permit or other authorization before construction or drilling commences and for certain other activities;
·  
limit or prohibit construction, drilling and other activities on certain lands lying within wilderness and other protected areas; and
·  
impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our operations.
 
The permits required for our operations may be subject to revocation, modification and renewal by issuing authorities. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce their regulations, and violations are subject to fines, injunctions, or both. In management's opinion, we are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws and regulations, and have no material commitments for capital expenditures to comply with existing environmental requirements. Nevertheless, changes in existing environmental laws and regulations or in interpretations thereof could have a significant impact on our company, as well as the oil and natural gas industry in general.
 
The Comprehensive Environmental, Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") and comparable state statutes impose strict joint and several liability on owners and operators of sites and on persons who disposed of or arranged for the disposal of "hazardous substances" found at such sites. It is not uncommon for the neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. The Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") and comparable state statutes govern the disposal of "solid waste" and "hazardous waste" and authorize the imposition of substantial fines and penalties for noncompliance. Although CERCLA currently excludes petroleum from its definition of "hazardous substance," state laws affecting our operations may impose clean-up liability relating to petroleum and petroleum related products. In addition, although RCRA classifies certain oil field wastes as "non-hazardous," such exploration and production wastes could be reclassified as hazardous wastes thereby making such wastes subject to more stringent handling and disposal requirements.
 
The Endangered Species Act ("ESA") seeks to ensure that activities do not jeopardize endangered or threatened animal, fish and plant species, nor destroy or modify the critical habitat of such species. Under ESA, exploration and production operations, as well as actions by federal agencies, may not significantly impair or jeopardize the species or its habitat. ESA provides for criminal penalties for willful violations of ESA. Other statutes that provide protection to animal and plant species and that may apply to our operations include, but are not necessarily limited to, the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, the Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the National Historic Preservation Act. Although we believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with such statutes, any change in these statutes or any reclassification of a species as endangered could subject our company to significant expenses to modify our operations or could force our company to discontinue certain operations altogether.

Climate Change.
 
Significant studies and research have been devoted to climate change and global warming, and climate change has developed into a major political issue in the United States and globally. Certain research suggests that greenhouse gas emissions contribute to climate change and pose a threat to the environment. Recent scientific research and political debate has focused in part on carbon dioxide and methane incidental to oil and natural gas exploration and production. Many states and the federal government have enacted legislation directed at controlling greenhouse gas emissions, and future legislation and regulation could impose additional restrictions or requirements in connection with our drilling and production activities and favor use of alternative energy sources, which could increase operating costs and demand for oil products. As such, our business could be materially adversely affected by domestic and international legislation targeted at controlling climate change.
 
The markets for our company's products are highly competitive. Our company competes with many other exploration and development companies in the oil and gas sector. Many of its competitors have greater financial, operational and sales and marketing resources and more experience in exploration and development than our company does.
 
Oil and natural gas are commodities whose prices are determined based on world demand, supply and other factors, all of which are beyond our control. World prices for oil and natural gas have fluctuated widely in recent years, and we expect that prices will fluctuate in the future. Price fluctuations will have a significant impact upon our revenue, the return from our reserves and on our financial condition generally. Price fluctuations for oil and natural gas commodities may also impact the investment market for companies engaged in the oil and gas industry. Prices may not remain at current levels. Decreases in the prices of oil and natural gas may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, the future results of our operations and quantities of reserves recoverable on an economic basis.
 
These and other companies may have developed or could in the future develop new technologies or develop new properties that compete with our company’s products. Competition in our company’s markets is primarily driven by:
 
·  
Ability to capitalize on leasehold properties through drilling programs;
·  
price of oil and gas;
·  
price to get product(s) to market;
·  
ability to develop, maintain and protect proprietary leaseholds and holdings;
·  
sales and distribution capabilities;
·  
new drilling technologies; and
·  
demand for products
 
 
Risks Associated with Our Common Stock
 
Our company’s shares should be considered highly speculative due to the nature of our company's business and the present stage of its development. In evaluating our company and its business, shareholders should carefully consider, in addition to the other information contained in this quarterly report, the following risk factors. These risk factors are not a definitive list of all risk factors associated with our company or in connection with its operations. Our common stock is currently illiquid and highly speculative. Investment therein involves a high risk of loss of an investor's entire investment in our company. Each prospective investor is urged to carefully review the risk factors discussed below and to discuss with management the nature and extent of risks inherent in our company's proposed business in determining whether to invest in our company.
 
In the future, our company may need to incur additional debt or issue equity in order to fund working capital, capital expenditures and research and development requirements. If our company is unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms or if it is limited with respect to incurring additional debt or issuing equity, it may be unable to complete on the drilling agreements attached herein. There can be no assurance that our company will be able to raise additional funds to fund its operations.
 
 
 
19

 
 
Our company may need to raise substantial amounts of money to fund a variety of future activities integral to the development of its business, including but not limited to the following:
 
·  
for exploration of leasehold properties;
·  
to develop and prove out oil and gas reserves with third party independent consultants;
·  
to retain qualified employees, particularly in light of intense competition for qualified personnel;
·  
to drill and produce petroleum products for sale on the open market; and
·  
to acquire new leasehold properties or companies.
 
Our common stock is illiquid and shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.
 
There is currently no market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance to investors that a market will develop. If a market for our common stock does not develop, our shareholders may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and they may lose all of their investment. Public announcements regarding our company, changes in government regulations, conditions in our market segment or changes in earnings estimates by analysts may cause the price of our common shares to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common shares.
 
Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.
 
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like the American Stock Exchange. Accordingly, our shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares.
 
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations and FINRA's sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
Risks Related to Our Business
 
Our operating results are difficult to predict and fluctuations in them may cause volatility in the price of our shares.
 
Our company’s business is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, risks involve the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses; the demand for and price of petroleum products; the need for government permits to commence drilling operations; the availability of third party contractors; changes in governmental legislation; the need to obtain additional financing and uncertainty as to the availability and terms of future financing and other risks and uncertainties. Oil and gas explorations is inherently risky and there can be no absolute guarantee that our company will be successful in proving petroleum reserves or in being successful in petroleum production through drilling and other similar operations. Future oil and gas exploration may involve unprofitable efforts, not only from dry wells, but from wells that are productive but do not produce sufficient net revenues to return a profit after drilling, operating and other costs. Completion of a well does not assure a profit on the investment or recovery of drilling, completion and operating costs. In addition, drilling hazards or environmental damage could greatly increase the cost of operations, and various field operating conditions may adversely affect the production from successful wells. These conditions include delays in obtaining governmental approvals or consents, shut-downs of connected wells resulting from extreme weather conditions, problems in storage and distribution and adverse geological and mechanical conditions. We will not be able to eliminate these conditions completely in any case. Therefore, these conditions could diminish our revenue and cash flow levels and result in the impairment of our oil and natural gas interests.
 
If, together with our partners, we succeed in discovering oil and/or natural gas reserves, these reserves may not be capable of the production levels we project or in sufficient quantities to be commercially viable. On a long-term basis, our viability depends on our ability to find or acquire, develop and commercially produce additional oil and natural gas reserves. Without the addition of reserves through acquisition, exploration or development activities, our reserves and production will decline over time as reserves are produced. Our future reserves will depend not only on our ability to develop then-existing properties, but also on our ability to identify and acquire additional suitable producing properties or prospects, to find markets for the oil and natural gas we may develop and to effectively distribute our production.
 
Our future success will depend on the success of our exploration program. Oil and gas exploration involves a high degree of risk. These risks are more acute in the early stages of exploration. Our ability to generate a return on our investments, revenues and our resulting financial performance are significantly affected by the prices we receive for oil and natural gas produced from wells on our acreage. Especially in recent years, the prices at which oil and natural gas trade in the open market have experienced significant volatility, and will likely continue to fluctuate in the foreseeable future due to a variety of influences including, but not limited to, the following:
 
·  
domestic and foreign demand for oil and natural gas by both refineries and end users;
·  
the introduction of alternative forms of fuel to replace or compete with oil and natural gas;
·  
domestic and foreign reserves and supply of oil and natural gas;
·  
competitive measures implemented by our competitors and domestic and foreign governmental bodies;
·  
weather conditions; and
·  
domestic and foreign economic volatility and stability.
 
 
 
21

 
 
A significant decrease in oil and natural gas prices could also adversely impact our ability to raise additional capital to pursue future drilling activities.
 
Our expenditures on exploration may not result in new discoveries of oil or natural gas in commercially viable quantities. It is difficult to project the costs of implementing an exploratory drilling program due to the inherent uncertainties of drilling in unknown formations, the costs associated with encountering various drilling conditions, such as over-pressured zones and tools lost in the hole, and changes in drilling plans and locations as a result of prior exploratory wells or additional seismic data and interpretations thereof.
 
Even when used and properly interpreted, three-dimensional (3-D) seismic data and visualization techniques only assist geoscientists in identifying subsurface structures and hydrocarbon indicators. They do not allow the interpreter to know conclusively if hydrocarbons are present or economically producible. In addition, the use of three-dimensional (3-D) seismic data becomes less reliable when used at increasing depths. We could incur losses as a result of expenditures on unsuccessful wells. If exploration costs exceed estimates, or if exploration efforts do not produce results which meet expectations, the exploration efforts may not be commercially successful, which could adversely impact our ability to generate revenues from our operations.
 
Our company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management's estimates or opinions should change. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
 
Possible Loss of Entire Investment
 
Prospective investors should be aware that if our company is not successful in its endeavors, their entire investment in our company could become worthless. Even if our company is successful, there can be no assurances that investors will derive a profit from their investment.
 
Intellectual Property
 
Our company's success depends to a significant degree upon its ability to develop, and produce petroleum products from its leasehold properties. The nature of the seismic data and reserve projections are proprietary to our company, but are not trademarked or patentable.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
In the course of our company's business, our company may from time to time have access to confidential or proprietary information of third parties, and these parties could bring a claim against the
 
Corporation asserting that it has misappropriated their findings or technologies and had improperly incorporated such technologies into our company's products. Due to these factors, there remains a constant risk of intellectual property litigation affecting our company's business. In the future, our company may be made a party to litigation involving intellectual property matters and such actions, if determined adversely, could have a material adverse effect on our company.
 
Exploration and Development Activities
 
Our company does not have any material product sales to date and it is important for our company to continue to invest heavily in exploration and development. However, because our company competes in a constantly evolving market, it may pursue exploration and development projects that do not result in viable commercial products. In addition, our company has in the past, and may in the future, terminate exploration efforts in a particular area after it has made substantial initial funding commitments in that area. Any failure to translate exploration and development expenditures into successful new product introductions would have an adverse effect on our company's business.

Future Growth
 
Our company's ability to achieve its expansion objectives and to manage its growth effectively depends upon a variety of factors, including our company's ability to successful explore and prove up petroleum reserves, to attract and retain skilled employees and contractors, to successfully position and market its products and to identify and acquire leasehold property rights from third parties. In addition, our company faces significant challenges and risks in building and managing its team, including managing geographically dispersed exploration efforts. To accommodate growth and compete effectively, our company will be required to improve its information systems, create additional procedures and controls and expand, train, motivate and manage its work force. Our company's future success will depend in part on the ability of current and future management personnel to operate effectively, both independently and as a group. There can be no assurance that our company's personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support its future operations.
 
Business Combinations
 
Our company may, in the future, pursue other complementary businesses and leasehold arrangements. Our company may also pursue strategic alliances that leverage its industry experience to expand its geographic presence. Our company has limited experience with respect to acquiring other companies and limited experience with respect to forming collaborations, strategic alliances and joint ventures. If our company were to make any proposed transactions, it may not be able to integrate these transactions successfully into its existing business and could assume unknown or contingent liabilities. Any future transactions our company makes could also result in large and immediate write-offs or the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, any of which could harm our company's operating results. Integrating an acquired company also may require management resources that otherwise would be available for ongoing development of our company's existing business. Our company may not identify or complete these transactions in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, or at all, and our company may not realize the anticipated benefits of any transaction, technology license or strategic alliance.
 
Reliance on Third Parties
 
Our company relies on third party manufacturers to supply much of its contracted employees and technologies. Some of these components are only available from a limited number of suppliers or a limited group of suppliers, either because the market for these components is in demand to support multiple petroleum operators. Our company's reliance on outside vendors generally, and a limited group of suppliers in particular, involves several risks, including:
 
·  
an inability to obtain an adequate supply of required exploration and drilling contractors due to operational capacity constraints, an acquisition or contracting of the contractor(s) by one of our company's competitors or other supply constraints;
·  
delays and long lead times in drilling and operation; and
·  
reduced control over quality and pricing of contractors.
 
If third party suppliers were to go out of business or be unavailable, our company might be unable to find a replacement for such source in a timely fashion.
 
We have no history as a cash flow positive Company
 
We have no history of earnings or cash flow from operations. Management believes that it may continue incur losses in the short term. Management cannot assure investors as to the time period it will continue to incur losses. Management cannot assure investors that it will ever be profitable.
 
If our exploration and production costs are higher than anticipated, then our profitability will be adversely affected.
 
 
23

 
 
We are currently proceeding with the exploration and drilling on our initial leasehold properties as well as further exploration of our remaining properties. The activities that require completion include but are not limited to basic research, garnering of seismic and historical data, third party geologist reports and other factors unforeseen at this point. There are many factors that could cause the cost of any or all of these activities to increase including but not limited to: the cost to hire and retain the services of employees or expert consultants, the cost to organize and execute drilling programs, the cost of materials, the cost of specialized equipment required to produce commercial-sized petroleum products, as well as other factors unforeseen by management at this point.
 
Development and operating activities are inherently risky.
 
Development of oil and gas properties involves many risks that even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. The nature of these risks are such that our company may be forced to incur significant costs, or that significant delays in exploration, drilling and commercialization may be incurred, that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and business prospects.
 
Our estimates of success are subject to uncertainty.
 
Estimates of success are subject to considerable uncertainty. Such estimates are arrived at using management’s expectations, forecast and other factors that are difficult to calculate or quantify.
 
Actual cash operating costs and economic returns on projects may differ significantly from the original estimates, primarily due to the occurrence of events that are unexpected or negative outcomes from exploration of our leasehold properties that are very difficult to predict at the inception of exploration efforts. Due to the presence of these factors, there is no assurance that our petroleum products discussed herein will be completed.
 
Reliance on Key Personnel
 
Since our company's products are highly technical in nature, only highly qualified and trained petroleum exploration and drilling operators have the necessary skills to develop and market its products and provide its services.
 
As such, our company's future success also will depend in large part on the continued service of its key contractors and management personnel, including exploration and development, marketing and sales staffs. Our company faces intense competition for these professionals from its competitors, its customers and other companies throughout its industry. Our company does not generally enter into employment agreements requiring these employees to continue their employment for any period of time.
 
Any failure on our company's part to hire, train and retain a sufficient number of qualified professionals would seriously damage its business.
 
Our company shall deal with the various regulatory and governmental agencies, and the rules and regulations of such agencies. No assurances can be given that it will be successful in its efforts. Further, in order for our company to operate and grow its business, it needs to continually conform to the laws, rules and regulations of such jurisdiction. It is possible that the legal and regulatory situation pertaining to the development of our petroleum products will change. Uncertainty and new regulations and rules could increase our company’s cost of doing business or prevent it from conducting its business.
