Overview of our Business

Name and Organization

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 27, 2004 under the name ST Online Corp. On June 22, 2007, we entered into a business combination agreement with Park Place Energy Inc., a private company incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada, and 0794403 B.C. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia. Pursuant to this business combination agreement, Park Place Energy Inc. and 0794403 B.C. Ltd. amalgamated under the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act and continued as Park Place Energy Inc., a company governed by the British Columbia Business Corporations Act.

On July 6, 2007, we completed a forward split of our shares of common stock on the basis of eight new shares of common stock for each one share of common stock outstanding on that date and increased the authorized share capital from 100,000,000 shares of common stock to 800,000,000 shares of common stock. At the same time, we merged with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Park Place Energy Corp. which we incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in contemplation of the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Park Place Energy Inc. and our name was then changed to Park Place Energy Corp.

On July 23, 2007, we completed a forward split of our shares of common stock on the basis of one and one-half new shares of common stock for each one share of common stock outstanding on that date and increased the authorized share capital from 800,000,000 shares of common stock to 1,200,000,000 shares of common stock.

On July 30, 2007, pursuant to the terms of a business combination agreement, we issued to each shareholder of record of Park Place Energy Inc. one share of our common stock for every two shares they held of Park Place Energy Inc. As a result, we issued 8,995,662 shares of common stock (299,855 shares on a post March 24, 2010 reverse split basis) shares of common stock to the former shareholders of Park Place Energy Inc. Additionally, as part of this transaction, a total of 45,000,000 shares of our common stock (1,500,000 shares on a post March 24, 2010 reverse split basis) held by former principals of our company were surrendered for cancellation. We thereby acquired Park Place Energy Inc. For accounting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a recapitalization with Park Place Energy Inc. being the accounting acquirer and the go-forward financial statements reflect the history of Park Place Energy Inc. from its inception on May 4, 2006. As a result of the acquisition, the business of our company is now the acquisition and exploration of oil and gas properties.

On August 31, 2009, we completed a forward split of our shares of common stock on the basis of ten new shares of common stock for each one share of common stock outstanding on that date and increased the authorized share capital from 1,200,000,000 shares of common stock to 12,000,000,000 shares of common stock.

On March 24, 2010, we completed a reverse split of our shares of common stock on the basis of one new share of common stock for each three hundred shares of common stock outstanding on that date and decreased our authorized share capital from 12,000,000,000 shares of common stock to 40,000,000 shares of common stock.

General

Park Place Energy Corp. is an exploration stage company engaged in exploring for oil and natural gas. Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms "Park Place" "we" "us," "the Company", "our" and "our company" refer to Park Place Energy Corp. and its subsidiaries.

Today, the operations of our company and its subsidiaries concentrate on CBM and tight gas exploration and development in the Dobrich region in north eastern Bulgaria. Our goal is to become a recognized producer of gas in Bulgaria and in CBM property acquisition, exploration, development and production in Europe. Our principal business offices are located at Suite 300, 4-5th Avenue SW, Calgary, AB, Canada, T2P 0L6 and our telephone number is (403) 537-8710.

We currently have interests in oil and gas properties in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan and in Eastern Bulgaria. See “Properties” for more information about our interests. On October 12, 2010 the Bulgarian Council of Ministers granted to the Company a permit for the exploration and prospecting of oil and natural gas in the Dobroudja Basin. The Permit is for a five year period exclusive of possible extensions. On October 25, 2010, an appeal against the Bulgarian Council of Ministers decision to award the Vranino Block to the Company was filed with the Supreme Administrative Court of Bulgaria and on July 17, 2012 the Court upheld the Company’s claim and rejected the appeal.

The Company was served with a subsequent appeal against the July 17, 2012 Fifth Division Supreme Court decision which will be heard November 15, 2012.

Park Place believes that good environmental, social, health and safety performance is an integral part of our business success. Our commitment to these principles is demonstrated by the fact that we have had no lost-time accidents in over six years and no major environmental incidents. We conduct our business with respect and care for our employees, contractors, communities, and the environments in which we operate. Our vision is zero harm to people and the environment while creating value for our shareholders as well as for Bulgaria, including the regions and communities within which we operate. We have a commitment to be a good corporate citizen of the countries in which our properties are located, striving to emphasize and utilize very high levels of local personnel, services, and equipment.

Vranino 1-11 exploration block, Bulgaria

In 2010, we revamped our business strategy to focus on obtaining European properties for both conventional and unconventional gas (shale, tight gas and coal bed methane). We retained consultants with specialized technical expertise in unconventional gas exploration to assist us in locating, assessing and planning suitable exploration and development of potential opportunities. In October of 2010, we were awarded an exploration permit for the “Vranino 1-11 block” located in Dobroudja Basin by the Bulgarian Counsel of Ministers, with terms and conditions of the permit as follows:

• Five year term exploration program;

• Perforate and re-test the Vranino #1 well previously drilled;

• Initiate a comprehensive 2-D and 3-D seismic program over the license area,

• Drill and complete a 5 additional test wells in the eastern up-thrown block within the license area

Our minimum work commitment as required by the permit broken down by year is as follows:

F-8

Our work relating to the Vranino 1-11 block has not yet commenced due to the fact the a competing bidder filed an appeal of the decision. On July 17, 2012 the Supreme Administrative Court in Bulgaria ruled in Park Place’s favor and upheld the company’s license and rejecting the appeal. On or about September 2012 the Company was served with a further appeal against the July 17, 2012 Fifth Division Supreme Court of decision. The second appeal is scheduled to be heard November 15, 2012. The Company is currently working closely with legal counsel in Bulgaria and hopes to have a positive decision upholding the Company’s license.

Overview

Our Plan of Operations is to focus on exploring and developing the Vranino 1-11 exploration claim in Bulgaria and acquiring interests in other exploration claims in Bulgaria or other regions.

Once the appeal issue is ultimately resolved, it is management’s intention to raise additional capital to facilitate the additional operations relating to Bulgaria.

Park Place intends to raise additional capital within the next twelve months to pay for the balance of the work program relating to Vranino 1-11 in Bulgaria.

Management intends to gather geological information regarding Vranino 1-11 from previously drilled wells, additional 2-D and 3-D seismic processing, the reprocessing of historical seismic data, and the purchase of additional seismic data held by third parties. Park Place plans to further test the existing Vranino #1 well over the next twelve months. Park Place estimates that the first year work program will cost approximately $800,000, assuming the permit dispute is resolved in our favor.

We anticipate spending approximately $350,000 over the next 12 months in office and general expenses.

Management is actively seeking further oil and gas opportunities either through direct acquisition or joint venture agreements in the region.

Working Capital

Based on our current plan of operations as set forth above, we estimate that we will require approximately $1,150,000 to pursue our plan of operations over the next 12 months. As at September 30, 2012, we had cash of $84,087 and working capital of $49,594.

We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock will be required to complete our plan of operations. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing going forward, we will reevaluate our plans.

Disclosure of Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2012 (the “Evaluation Date”). This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date as a result of the material weaknesses disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (“2011 Annual Report:).

Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in our 2011 Annual Report, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in all material respects.

No Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

We currently are party to legal proceedings in Bulgaria where a competitive bidder seeks to overturn the Bulgarian Counsel of Minister’s award of the Vranino 1-11 exploration claim to us.

On July 17, 2012 the Supreme Administrative Court in Bulgaria ruled in our favor and dismissed the appeal and upheld the award of the Vranino permit to us.

On or about September 14, 2012 the Company was served with an appeal against the July 17, 2012 Fifth Division Supreme Court of Bulgaria’s decision to uphold the award of the Vranino 1-11 oil and gas exploration block license to Park Place.
