SECTION 4 - MATTERS RELATED TO ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Item 4.02     Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

On October 18, 2011 the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Strategic American Oil Corporation (the "Company") concluded that the Company's financial statements for its year ended July 31, 2010 should no longer be relied upon due to an error that impacted the Company's consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of operations and consolidated statement of cash flows as of and for our year ended July 31, 2010.

The error involved the Company treating certain warrant modifications (the fair value of which was $743,189) as deemed dividends rather than as a warrant modification expense. The Company intends to file with the SEC an amended Form 10-K for its year ended July 31, 2010 to correct this error.

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, authorized officers of the Company, discussed this filing with the Company's auditors.
