NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1: NATURE OF CONTINUED OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Lexington Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary Lexington Oil & Gas Ltd. Co., an Oklahoma Limited Liability Corporation (“Lexington”), were organized for the purposes of the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas properties in the United States, concentrating on unconventional gas production initiatives that include coal bed methane gas acquisitions and developments in the Arkoma Basin in the State of Oklahoma as well as Barnett Shale targeted acquisitions and developments in the Dallas Fort Worth Basin in the State of Texas.
On January 23, 2006, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Oak Hills Drilling and Operating International, Inc., and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Oak Hills Drilling and Operating LLC (“Oak Hills”). The purpose of the acquisition of Oak Hills was to enable the Company to improve scheduling of property development, to decrease costs associated with drilling and completing wells, and to increase the Company's control over its oil and gas leasehold developments by utilizing Oak Hills’ in house drilling and completion teams for its property exploration initiatives and gas well development programs.
Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2006, management of the Company considered monetizing certain of the Company's assets and those of Oak Hills in order to decrease liabilities and overhead incurred by the Company in connection with previous capital expenditures and as a result of a lack of current debt and equity resources made available to the Company. On January 2, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized and approved the execution by Oak Hills of an agreement dated December 29, 2006 with Innovative Energy Services for the sale of the Company’s drilling rig. In accordance with the Agreement, Innovative Energy Services paid to Oak Hills an aggregate amount of $3,100,000 for the drilling rig and certain related equipment (Refer to Note 5).
During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, Oasis Operating, LLC (“Oasis”), an Oklahoma limited liability company, became the new third party contract operator for the Company’s oil and gas assets and exploration properties as part of cost streamlining efforts effected to conserve cash resources. To facilitate the operator transition, and to decrease liabilities, the Company approved the sale of the majority of its oil and gas related operating fixed assets to Oasis for $300,000. A director of Oasis is related to a director of the Company.
Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $8,058,329 at June 30, 2007, has incurred losses since inception of $31,491,733 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its oil and gas properties raising substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund ongoing losses and property development and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. The Company will continue to fund operations with advances and debt instruments, as well as further equity placements.
Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation S-B. They do not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10-KSB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.

NOTE 2: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Change in accounting principle
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. EITF 00-19-2 Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (“EITF 00-19-2”), which provides more definitive guidance on accounting for registration arrangements including those described in more detail in Note 7 in connection with the Company’s 2006 private placement.
The Company originally accounted for the various components of the private placement transaction using the provisions of SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; EITF Issue No. 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock; EITF Issue No. 05-4 The Effect of Liquidated Damages Clause on Freestanding Financial Instruments Subject to Issue No. 00-19 and related amendments and guidance.
Under the original accounting treatment, the Company classified the shares of common stock issued and the common stock purchase warrants without registration damages as equity at their estimated fair values and classified the remainder of the proceeds, representing common stock registration damages and the common stock purchase warrants subject to registration damages, as a derivative liability. This derivative liability was then subsequently adjusted to its estimated fair value with the corresponding gain or loss being charged to operations in the period.
Under the provisions of EITF 00-19-2, the Company is required to classify the financing component parts as equity, assets or liabilities, notwithstanding the registration damages and related payment arrangements. If at inception of the related instruments, the damages and related payments are deemed likely, then the proceeds of the instrument are apportioned on a relative fair value basis inclusive of the estimated fair value of the damages and related payments. Otherwise, the proceeds are apportioned between their component parts with the damages and related payments being recorded when they are determined to be likely through a charge to operations in the period. The damages and related payments are recorded as a contingent liability which continues to be adjusted to its estimated fair value, through charges to operations, until the contingency is resolved. EITF 00-19-2 was effective for the Company’s first interim period commencing after December 15, 2006, being the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
The Company’s registration damages and related payment arrangements, which were entered into prior to the adoption of EITF 00-19-2 and were unresolved as of the date of adoption, are required to be accounted for as a change in accounting principle in accordance with the provisions of EITF 00-19-2, through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) as may be required. The applicable transition provisions and their impact are as follows:
| · | The instrument is to be evaluated on issuance notwithstanding the existence of the registration damages and related payment arrangements. |
| · | Where this evaluation results in a different classification of items from the previously recorded derivative liability to equity, this adjustment is made based on the issuance date relative fair values. |
| · | At issuance, the damages and related payments were not considered likely and accordingly, were not included in the original allocation of the proceeds. |
| · | Upon adoption of EITF 00-19-2 effective January 1, 2007, the damages and related payments were considered likely and accordingly, were recorded through a charge to the opening accumulated deficit. |
The results of adopting EITF 00-19-2 on certain components of stockholders’ equity are as follows:
| | Additional paid in capital | | | Common stock purchase warrants | | | Accumulated deficit | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Amounts as previously reported, December 31, 2006 | | $ | 30,398,613 | | | $ | 2,009,340 | | | $ | (26,683,867 | ) |

(b) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No 109 Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, as required.
There were no interest or general and administrative expenses accrued or recognized related to income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The Company has not taken a tax position that would have a material effect on the financial statements or the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2007 or during the prior three years applicable under FIN 48. It is determined not to be reasonably possible for the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the adoption of FIN 48. The Company is currently subject to a three year statute of limitations by major tax jurisdictions.
NOTE 3: ACQUISITION OF OAK HILLS DRILLING AND OPERATING INTERNATIONAL, INC.
On January 23, 2006, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Oak Hills Drilling and Operating International, Inc., and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Oak Hills. The companies were acquired from the existing shareholders for an aggregate of 6,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. The assets of Oak Hills were independently valued at approximately $5.85 million and management of the Company determined a net tangible fair value of approximately $3.82 million as the basis for the total number of common shares issued at a price per share of $0.637. As of the acquisition date, Oak Hills had secured promissory notes totaling $1.28 million owed to certain of the Oak Hills vendors. The $1.28 million in promissory notes accrue interest at 9% per annum, and require no payments of interest or principal until the end of a two year term ending January 22, 2008.
The purpose of the acquisition of Oak Hills was to enable the Company to improve scheduling of property development, to decrease costs associated with drilling and completing wells, and to increase the Company's control over its oil and gas leasehold developments by utilizing Oak Hills’ in house drilling and completion teams for its property exploration initiatives and gas well development programs.
Prior to the acquisition of Oak Hills, there were 18,627,523 shares of common stock of the Company outstanding. Accordingly, the pre-acquisition shareholders of the Company owned approximately 76% of the post-acquisition issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, this business combination has been accounted for using the purchase method with the Company being the acquirer.

The Company's oil and gas activities are currently conducted in the United States. The Company has completed the following significant transactions related to its oil and gas activities:
Acquisition of Oak Hills Drilling and Operating International, Inc.
On January 23, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of Oak Hills as described in Note 3.
Joint Exploration Agreement – Arkoma Basin, Oklahoma
On March 3, 2006, effective January 31, 2006, the Company entered into an exploration agreement with Dylan Peyton, LLC (“Dylan”) of Dallas, Texas to jointly develop Lexington’s Arkoma Basin leases located in Hughes and MacIntosh Counties in the State of Oklahoma (the “Arkoma Basin Exploration Agreement”). The properties were to be developed on a 50/50 equal working interest basis. An affiliate to Dylan, named Avatar Energy, LLC, became the operator for the project. During 2006, the Company has assigned 50% of its undeveloped leasehold interests in Oklahoma in exchange for cash proceeds of $575,000 which equates to approximately 50% of the Company’s originally incurred leasing costs. Assignments to 50% of the Company’s undeveloped leasehold interests in Coal Creek, South Lamar, Middle Creek, and H-9 Prospects have been effected to Dylan. Well bores and acreage relating to previously drilled and completed wells by the Company do not form part of any assignments under the Arkoma Basin Exploration Agreement. Proceeds from this disposal were recorded as a reduction of the capitalized costs without recognition of a gain or loss as the disposal did not result in a change of 20 percent or more in the Company’s depletion rate.
Joint Exploration Agreement – Comanche County, Texas
On March 3, 2006, effective January 31, 2006, the Company entered into an exploration agreement with Dylan to jointly develop approximately 5,000 acres of Barnett Shale and shallow gas targets in Comanche County, Texas (the “Comanche County Exploration Agreement”). The property would be developed on a 50/50 equal working interest basis. The Company’s subsidiary, Oak Hills became the operator of the project. The Company will pay approximately $1,225,500 for its 50% working interest in the new acreage through a combination of $575,000 in cash (paid during 2006) and approximately $650,500 of carried drilling costs in the first Comanche Barnett Shale test well required to be drilled on or before September 2006. The test well commenced drilling on September 1, 2006. It is estimated that the total amount owing for the acreage will be approximately $1,225,500, resulting in no additional amount to be paid after deducting the original payment of $575,000 and the carried drilling costs estimated to be $650,500. The Company is currently in negotiations and reconciliation of expenditures relating to the Joint Exploration Agreement in Comanche County, Texas.

NOTE 4: PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT (continued)
During 2006, the Company’s leases relating to the H-9 Prospect acreage lapsed according to their terms resulting in an impairment to the carrying value of unamortized property of $331,963. In accordance with the provisions of full cost accounting, the Company transferred this carrying value into its cost pool subject to amortization. Also during 2006, certain other acreage leases were allowed to lapse, however, these expiries did not result in any property impairments.
On October 2, 2006, the Company entered into a convertible debt set-off agreement with Dylan (the “Convertible Debt Agreement”), relating to amounts due and owing to Dylan from fractures and completion of certain coal bed methane gas wells. Pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Convertible Debt Agreement: (i) Oak Hills sold to Ada Energy Services LLC (“AES”) certain of its assets, including two Wilson 600 duplex pumps for an aggregate consideration of $120,000 as a set-off for the debt due and owing to Dylan; (ii) Oak Hills had 120 days to pay the amount of $120,000 due and owing to Dylan to re-purchase the two Wilson pumps from AES for $120,000 plus the cost of any work done on them other than repairs made for damages caused by AES’ usage of the pumps; (iii) Oak Hills made a payment of $20,000 to Avatar Energy relating to the completion and fracture job on the Gray Well #1H-22 and the fracture job on the Dylan Well #1-23; and (iv) in the event Oak Hills does not re-purchase the Wilson pumps for $120,000 within the 120 days, the sale of the pumps will constitute full and complete settlement of the $120,000 due and owing Dylan. On January 27, 2007, the Company extinguished its obligations under the convertible debt set-off agreement with Dylan by repaying $120,000 to Ada Energy Services and reclaiming its pledged collateral (two Wilson 600 duplex pumps). Accordingly, as at December 31, 2006, the Company off-set the amount owing to Dylan against the carrying value of the pumps with the residual carrying value being included in the Rig and related equipment impairment provision as described in Note 5. On January 27, 2007, the Company sold its two Wilson 600 duplex pumps to Innovative Energy Services for $125,000.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, Oasis became the new third party contract operator for the Company’s oil and gas assets and exploration properties as part of cost streamlining efforts effected to conserve cash resources. A director of Oasis is related to a director of Oak Hills.
Sale of Undeveloped Acreage
During the period, the Company sold approximately 719 acres of Barnett Shale targeted exploration leases located in Hood County, Texas for net proceeds of approximately $380,000. Also during the period, the Company received $8,125 as compensation for forfeiting the right to participate in a new well on the Panther Creek prospect.

On June 24, 2007, the Company approved the sale of certain oil and gas related operating fixed assets to Oasis for $300,000. As at June 30, 2007, these assets were reclassified to assets held for sale at their estimated net recoverable amount of $300,000 resulting in an impairment of the carrying value of these assets totaling $99,100 being recorded during the period. Amounts owing pursuant to this agreement will be offset against amounts subsequently owed by the Company to Oasis in connection with their ongoing operator activities.

During the period ended June 30, 2007, the Company had the following activity in connection with long term debt, short term debt and other advances:
Promissory note
On December 20, 2005, the Company obtained an unsecured loan by way of promissory note from a shareholder of the Company totaling $600,000. The term of the loan is for two years with interest calculated at 10% per annum. Interest is to be paid on a quarterly basis with the principal to be repaid on or before the two year loan period.

The authorized capital of the Company consists of 200,000,000 voting common shares with $0.00025 par value, and 75,000,000 non-voting preferred shares with $0.001 par value.
Common Stock Issuances –period ended June 30, 2007
The Company did not issue any shares of common stock during the period ended June 30, 2007.
Liquidated damages related to common stock and warrants issued to investors in the 2006 private placement
During 2006, the Company completed a private placement pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 7,650,000 units ("Unit") of the Company’s securities at a subscription price of U.S. $1.00 per Unit for total gross proceeds of $7,650,000; with each Unit being comprised of one common share and one non-transferable common stock purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each resulting Warrant entitles the subscriber to purchase an additional common share (“Warrant Share”) of the Company at a price of $1.25 per share for the period commencing upon the date of issuance of the Units by the Company and ending on the day which is the earlier of (i) 18 months from the date of issuance of the Units and (ii) 12 months from the effective date of the Company’s proposed registration statement. Both the Warrant Shares and the common shares issued pursuant to the private placement offering are to be proposed for registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company paid finders fees of 5% of the gross cash proceeds received under the private placement offering and 10% restricted common shares on the gross units issued, with such restricted shares carrying piggy back registration rights. Of the total Units sold, 7,450,000 are subject to potential damages relating to the registration requirement. Effective July 3, 2006, the Company filed a Form SB-2 Registration Statement under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register the 8,415,000 common shares issued and 7,650,000 common shares underlying the common stock purchase warrants. This registration statement was not declared effective before financial penalties were due pursuant to registration timing. During the period the Company paid $75,960 in penalties leaving $1,011,535 accrued and unpaid as at June 30, 2007 (December 31, 2006 - $419,671) which have been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company continues to incur 1.5% of $7,450,000 raised per month of delay until the Registration Statement is declared effective.
The Company originally accounted for the various components of the private placement transaction using the provisions of SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; EITF Issue No. 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock; EITF Issue No. 05-4 The Effect of Liquidated Damages Clause on Freestanding Financial Instruments Subject to Issue No. 00-19 and related amendments and guidance.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. EITF 00-19-2 Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements (“EITF 00-19-2”), which provides more definitive guidance on accounting for registration arrangements including those described above in connection with the Company’s 2006 private placement. The impact of adopting EITF 00-19-2 is described in more detail in Note 2.
The following table summarizes the initial allocation of the proceeds from the private placement:

Private placement warrants
The fair value of the Warrants at inception was estimated to be $4,284,000 and has been allocated between warrants subject to damages (derivative liability) and warrants not subject to damages (equity) as outlined above. The fair value of the warrants at inception was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected warrant life of 1.33 years, risk-free interest rate of 4.81%, dividend yield of 0% and expected volatility of 77%.
At inception, the Company determined that the warrants and related liquidated damages provisions associated with the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants did not meet the criteria for equity accounting under EITF 00-19. Further, the Company determined that the liquidated damages provision related to the common stock issued is an embedded derivative under SFAS No. 133.
As at issuance of the shares and warrants, the fair value of the warrants subject to damages was estimated to be $4,172,000 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as described above. The fair value of the liquidated damages on the common stock and warrants at issuance was estimated to be $74,500. This estimate was based on the probability of non-registration over time and the damages related thereto. The total fair value of the combined warrants and liquidated damages was $4,246,500 at issuance of the shares and warrants and was recorded as a derivative liability which will be revalued each quarter until the liquidated damages provisions expire. Changes in the fair value estimate for the period from inception to December 31, 2006 were recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
As at December 31, 2006, the fair value of the warrants was estimated to be $36,500 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected warrant life of 0.83 years, risk-free interest rate of 5.0%, dividend yield of 0% and expected volatility of 89%. As at December 31, 2006, the fair value of the liquidated damages on the common stock and warrants was estimated to be $1,922,000 and accordingly, the combined derivative liability had a carrying value of $1,958,500. During 2006, the company recorded a gain of $2,288,000 on the change in the carrying value of the derivative liability resulting primarily from a decline in the price of the Company’s common stock of approximately 82%.
The carrying value of the derivative liability as at December 31, 2006 is summarized as follows:
Derivative liability: | | | |
Fair value of warrants subject to registration damages | | $ | 4,172,000 | |
Estimated fair value of liquidated damages on common shares and warrants | | | 74,500 | |

The Company’s Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), most recently amended and approved by the board of directors on August 19, 2005, was effective August 7, 2003 for the purpose of advancing the interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Plan allows for the granting of options to key employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company for terms not to exceed 10 years and at prices and vesting conditions to be determined by the board of directors. The Plan also allows for the granting of Incentive Stock Options that must be granted at no less than the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock.
The Plan allows for a total of 7,500,000 options outstanding of which 1,285,000 were outstanding as at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 resulting in options available for grant of 6,215,000. To date, all options granted under the Plan have been immediately vested and exercisable, and accordingly, there is no unrecognized stock based compensation expense as at June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.
As at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had no stock options outstanding for which the exercise price was lower than the market value of the Company’s common stock.
The total estimated intrinsic value of options exercised during the period ended June 30, 2007 was $NIL (year ended December 31, 2006 - $19,100). No stock options were granted during the period ended June 30, 2007 or the year ended December 31, 2006.

NOTE 11: SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On July 3, 2007, we received a Wells Notice from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Wells Notice advised us that the SEC Staff intended to recommend that the SEC bring a civil action against us alleging that we violated Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The SEC Staff advised that the alleged violations of Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Act relate to the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock that were registered under Forms S-8 to certain individuals who allegedly were not eligible to receive shares registered on Form S-8. The Wells Notice advised that the SEC Staff may seek a permanent injunction against future violations, disgorgement plus prejudgment interest, and civil monetary penalties.
The SEC's Staff, in accordance with Rule 5(c) of the Commission's Rules of Informal and Other Procedures, 17 C.F.R. § 202.5(c), afforded the Company the opportunity to make a “Wells Submission” regarding the SEC Staff's intended recommendations. On August 8, 2007, we submitted a Wells Submission to the Commission setting forth the reasons why no enforcement proceeding should be authorized by the SEC. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome, we believe we have meritorious legal and factual defenses in this matter. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter, and an adverse resolution of this matter could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
On July 3, 2007, Grant Atkins, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company also received a Wells Notice. The Wells Notice advised Mr. Atkins that the SEC Staff intends to recommend that the SEC bring a civil action against him alleging that he also violated Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Act in connection with the issuance of the Company's shares of common stock that were registered under Forms S-8 certain to individuals allegedly who were not eligible to receive shares registered on Form S-8. The SEC Staff indicated that it may recommend that the SEC seek disgorgement plus prejudgment interest, an order prohibiting Mr. Atkins from participating in any offering of penny stock, civil monetary penalties, and a permanent injunction. On August 6, 2007, Mr. Atkins submitted a Wells Submission to the Commission setting forth the reasons why he should not be charged with violations of the federal securities laws in connection with this investigation. We cannot predict the outcome of the potential claims against Mr Atkins, and an adverse resolution could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2006.
Our net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 was approximately ($1,204,584) compared to ($3,847,585) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 (a decrease of $2,643,001).
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, we generated $411,275 in gross revenue compared to $946,620 in gross revenue generated during the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 (a decrease of $535,345), resulting primarily from oil and gas revenue of $351,737 and $59,538 in well drilling and services revenue generated by our subsidiary, Oak Hills. Drilling and service revenue of $59,538 declined from $689,110 during the same period in 2006 resulting from the sale of our drilling rig. Oil and gas revenue of $351,737 increased from $257,510 during the same period in 2006 resulting from increased volume of gas sold. Prices from natural gas averaged $4.85 per mcf (net of marketing and transportation costs) during the six month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to $4.75 per mcf for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006. Volume of gas sold for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 was approximately 72,495 mcf, an increase from approximately 54,244 mcf from the six-month period ended June 30, 2006. The volume of gas sold resulted from new wells coming into production, however, the volume of gas sold was moderated by a decline in production from older wells and an increase in average production costs.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF OPERATION (continued)
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, we incurred operating expenses in the aggregate amount of $1,076,224 compared to $4,113,569 incurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 (a decrease of $3,037,345). The operating expenses incurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 consisted of: (i) operating costs and taxes of $160,780 (2006: $118,282); (ii) depreciation, depletion and amortization of $372,537 (2006: $385,150); (iii) general and administrative of $371,335 (2006: $739,329); (iv) investor relations and promotion of $37,500 (2006: $1,930,975); (v) drilling rig, well and pulling unit expense of $56,125 (2006: $462,890); and (vi) salaries, wages and related of $77,947 (2006: $476,943). The decrease in operating expenses incurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six-month period June 30, 2006 resulted primarily from the decrease in operating expenditures including rig, well and pulling unit expense relating to our subsidiary, Oak Hills, and the sale of the drilling rig previously owned by Oak Hills, a decrease in overall general administration expenses resulting from the decrease in scale and scope of well drilling operations, and a substantial decrease in investor relations and promotion relating to investor awareness programs.
Of the $1,076,224 incurred as operating expenses during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, an aggregate of $60,000 was incurred in fees payable to International Market Trend (“IMT”) for amounts due and owing for operational, administrative and consulting services rendered during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. On November 10, 2003, we entered into a consulting agreement with IMT (the “Consulting Agreement”), whereby IMT performs a wide range of management, administrative, financial, and business development services for us.

Of the $1,076,224 incurred as operating expenses during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007: (i) an aggregate of $15,000 was incurred to our officers/directors for management fees; and (ii) an aggregate of $5,000 was incurred to one of our directors for fees. Furthermore, an additional $45,000 was incurred to Mr. Humphreys, who is also the sole officer and director of Oak Hills, as compensation during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. In addition, Oak Hills incurred $24,500 to Mr. Humphreys and a relative of this director for rent on our field offices in Oklahoma. As at June 30, 2007, $97,978 is owed to us from Mr. Humphreys and/or affiliates of Mr. Humphreys for costs incurred in connection with certain well interests. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, we have received $-0- of this amount due and owing. This director has previously been assigned a 10% carried working interest in each well successfully drilled on the Wagnon lease, as partial compensation for his involvement in obtaining and facilitating the execution of the Farm-Out Agreement and to compensate for his services relating to operation and completion of wells to be located on the Wagnon lease, and has also been provided the right to purchase up to an additional 5% working interest of our total interest in all wells drilled by us on our properties provided that funds for this participation are paid prior to the commencement of drilling of said wells. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, compensation was recorded in connection with the costs of this carried working interest totaling $-0-. This director also received a 10% carried working interest of the Company's interest in all wells successfully drilled by the Company and its properties.
Our net loss from operations during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 also includes: (i) $334,505 (2006: $2,990,136) related to interest and finance fees; (ii) a loss of $448,225 (2006: $-0-) related to a contingent liability; (iii) a gain of $342,195 (2006: $-0-) related to the disposal of other equipment; (iv) impairment of other equipment of $99,100 (2006: $-0-); and (v) a gain of $-0- (2006: $2,309,500) related to a derivative liability. Together with operating expenses, this results in a net loss of ($1,204,584). The decrease in net loss during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 is attributable primarily to) the decrease in operating expenditures relating to our subsidiary, Oak Hills, a decrease in the scale and scope of well drilling operations and related capital expenditure, a decrease in overall general administration, and a decrease in investor relations and promotion relating to investor awareness programs. Our net loss during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 was ($1,204,584) or ($0.03) per share compared to a net loss of ($3,847,585) or ($0.13) per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 38,766,270 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to 28,991,126 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF OPERATION (continued)
Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2006.
Our net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 was approximately ($730,707) compared to ($37,996) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 (an increase of $692,711).
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, we generated $202,404 in gross revenue compared to $645,314 in gross revenue generated during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 (a decrease of $442,910), resulting primarily from oil and gas revenue of $195,572 and $6,832 in well drilling and services revenue generated by our subsidiary, Oak Hills. Drilling which service revenue declined from $555,011 during the same period in 2006 resulting from the sale of our drilling rig. Oil and gas revenue increased from $90,303 during the same period in 2006 resulting from increased volume of gas sold.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, we incurred operating expenses in the aggregate amount of $481,046 compared to $1,623,749 incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 (a decrease of $1,142,703). The operating expenses incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 consisted of: (i) operating costs and taxes of $64,581 (2006: $58,184); (ii) depreciation, depletion and amortization of $175,513 (2006: $198,346); (iii) general and administrative of $190,053 (2006: $473,451); (iv) investor relations and promotion of $-0- (2006: $331,801); (v) drilling rig, well and pulling unit expense of $17,679 (2006: $241,404); and (vi) salaries, wages and related of $33,220 (2006: $320,563). The decrease in operating expenses incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three-month period June 30, 2006 resulted primarily from the decrease in operating expenditures including rig, well and pulling unit expense relating to our subsidiary, Oak Hills, and the sale of the drilling rig previously owned by Oak Hills, a decrease in overall general administration expenses resulting from the decrease in scale and scope of well drilling operations, and a substantial decrease in investor relations and promotion relating to investor awareness programs.
Our net loss from operations during the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 also includes: (i) $14,959 (2006: $1,369,061) related to interest and finance fees; (ii) a loss of $338,006 (2006: $-0-) related to a contingent liability; (iii) a gain of $-0- (2006: $2,309,500) related to a derivative liability; and (iv) impairment of other equipment of $99,100 (2006: $-0-). Together with operating expenses, this results in a net loss of ($730,707). Although operating expenses decreased during the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, the increase in net loss during the three-month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 is attributable primarily to the recognition of the gain on the derivative liability of $2,309,500 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to $-0- during the same period in 2007.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.

During fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we completed a private placement pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of 7,650,000 Units at a subscription price of U.S. $1.00 per Unit for total gross proceeds of $7,650,000; with each Unit being comprised of one common share and one non-transferable common stock purchase Warrant. Each resulting Warrant entitles the subscriber to purchase an additional share of our common stock ("Warrant Share") at a price of $1.25 per share for the period commencing upon the date of issuance of the Units and ending on the day which is the earlier of (i) 18 months from the date of issuance of the Units and (ii) 12 months from the effective date of our proposed registration statement. Both the Warrant Shares and the common shares issued pursuant to the private placement offering are to be proposed for registration under the 1933 Securities Act. We paid finders fees of 5% of the gross cash proceeds received under the private placement offering and 10% restricted common shares on the gross units issued, with such restricted shares carrying piggy back registration rights.
Effective July 3, 2006, we filed the 2006 Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) to register the 8,415,000 common shares issued and 7,650,000 common shares underlying the Warrants. The 2006 Registration Statement was not declared effective before financial penalties were due pursuant to registration timing. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, we have paid $75,960 in penalties leaving $1,011,535 accrued and unpaid as at June 30, 2007. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we continue to incur 1.5% of $7,450,000 raised per month of delay until the 2006 Registration Statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Existing working capital, further advances and possible debt instruments, warrant exercises, further private placements, monetization of existing assets, and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next two months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt securities. In connection with our business plan, management will delay additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) oil and gas operating properties; (ii) drilling initiatives; and (iii) property acquisitions. We intend to utilize our best efforts to settle current finance accounts payables and liabilities with further issuances of securities, debt and or advances, monetization of existing assets, and revenues from operations. We will need to raise additional capital and increase revenues to meet both short term and long-term operating requirements.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF OPERATION (continued)
The reports of the independent registered public accounting firms that accompany our December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements contain an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared "assuming that we will continue as a going concern," which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
MATERIAL COMMITMENTS
Promissory Note
During 2007, a material commitment for us relates to an unsecured promissory note from one of our shareholders aggregating $600,000 (the "Promissory Note"). The provisions of the Promissory Note are:(i) two-year term with interest at the rate of 10% per annum; and (ii) interest to be paid on a quarterly basis with the principal to be repaid on or before the due date of the Promissory Note. As at June 30, 2007, there is $70,027 of accrued and unpaid interest on this loan.
2006 Registration Statement Penalties
On July 3, 2006, we filed the 2006 Registration Statement to register the 8,415,000 common shares issued and 7,650,000 common shares underlying the Warrants. The 2006 Registration Statement was not declared effective before financial penalties were due pursuant to registration timing. Penalties accrued and unpaid to June 30, 2007 aggregate $1,011,535. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we continue to incur 1.5% of $7,450,000 raised per month of delay until the registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, an evaluation was completed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including Mr. Grant Atkins, our Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. There have been no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during our six-month period ended June 30, 2007, that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
During the fourth quarter of 2006 and to the date of this Quarterly Report, we have received twenty-one law suits from our creditors for the payment of services and goods totaling approximately $2,056,039 with $418,072 of the amount forming summary judgments or partial summary judgments against us. We also currently have a total of four well liens for the payment of services and goods totaling approximately $116,622 and seventeen demand letters for the payment of services and goods totaling approximately $443,482 pursuant to expenditures incurred in the development of oil and gas assets on our leasehold interests. All amounts owing in connection with these law suits, mediation requests, well liens and demand letters have been accrued, as applicable, as of June 30, 2007.
On July 3, 2007, we received a Wells Notice from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Wells Notice advised us that the SEC Staff intended to recommend that the SEC bring a civil action against us alleging that we violated Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The SEC Staff advised that the alleged violations of Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Act relate to the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock that were registered under Forms S-8 to certain individuals who allegedly were not eligible to receive shares registered on Form S-8. The Wells Notice advised that the SEC Staff may seek a permanent injunction against future violations, disgorgement plus prejudgment interest, and civil monetary penalties.
The SEC's Staff, in accordance with Rule 5(c) of the Commission's Rules of Informal and Other Procedures, 17 C.F.R. § 202.5(c), afforded the Company the opportunity to make a “Wells Submission” regarding the SEC Staff's intended recommendations. On August 8, 2007, we submitted a Wells Submission to the Commission setting forth the reasons why no enforcement proceeding should be authorized by the SEC. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome, we believe we have meritorious legal and factual defenses in this matter. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter, and an adverse resolution of this matter could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations.
On July 3, 2007, Grant Atkins, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company also received a Wells Notice. The Wells Notice advised Mr. Atkins that the SEC Staff intends to recommend that the SEC bring a civil action against him alleging that he also violated Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Act in connection with the issuance of the Company's shares of common stock that were registered under Forms S-8 certain to individuals allegedly who were not eligible to receive shares registered on Form S-8. The SEC Staff indicated that it may recommend that the SEC seek disgorgement plus prejudgment interest, an order prohibiting Mr. Atkins from participating in any offering of penny stock, civil monetary penalties, and a permanent injunction. On August 6, 2007, Mr. Atkins submitted a Wells Submission to the Commission setting forth the reasons why he should not be charged with violations of the federal securities laws in connection with this investigation. We cannot predict the outcome of the potential claims against Mr Atkins, and an adverse resolution could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and operations.
