We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

Comments by the Auditors for U.S. Readers on Canada-U.S. Reporting Conflict

In the United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated July 29, 2005 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors’ report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

April 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003

(expressed in Canadian dollars)

1 Going concern and nature of operations

The Company was incorporated under the British Columbia Company Act on April 6, 1981 under the name Cove Energy Corporation. The Company changed its name to Derek Resources Corporation effective May 5, 1995 and to Derek Oil and Gas Corporation (Derek or the Company) effective March 3, 2003.

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties. The Company’s current oil and gas activities are in the pre-production stage and, accordingly, Derek is an exploration stage company. The Company intends to advance the development of the LAK Ranch Project (which is located in Wyoming, U.S.) to commercial production through earn-in agreements with third parties (see note 3). Commercial production has not yet commenced.

Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to raise equity and debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations, external financings and further share issuances to meet the Company’s liabilities as they become payable. While management has been successful in obtaining such additional sources of finance in the past, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. The Company has a history of operating losses and of negative cash flows from operations. In the year ended April 30, 2005, the Company incurred a loss of $1,375,553 and cash outflows from operating activities of $1,004,977. The Company’s deficit at April 30, 2005 totalled $15,066,049. Because of this uncertainty, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary, should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

2 Significant accounting policies

Generally accepted accounting principles

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada, which, as they apply to these statements, differ in certain respects from those in the United States, as explained in note 9.

Principles of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Derek Resources (USA) Inc.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of the assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the determination of environmental obligations and impairment of oil and natural gas properties. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit and term deposits with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Royalty income

From time to time, the Company receives royalty payments from projects in which it has an interest. These proceeds are recorded when received. Some historic property interests do not have any carrying value attributed to them. These royalty receipts are recorded as other income.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(expressed in Canadian dollars)

 Oil and gas interests

The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties and equipment whereby all costs of acquiring, exploring for and developing oil and gas reserves are capitalized.

The Company regularly reviews the carrying value of its oil and gas properties, which are currently unproven, by reference to the project economics, the timing of exploration work, the work programs and the exploration results achieved on the project. Where an impairment occurs a charge to earnings would be made. Once commercial production is achieved, the Company will apply a ceiling test to ensure that capitalized costs do not exceed total estimate future net revenues from the production of proved reserves less general and administrative expenses, financing costs, site restoration costs and income taxes related to future production. Any reduction in value as a result of the ceiling test will be charged to operations as additional depletion, depreciation, and amortization. The Company did not apply a ceiling test in 2005 or 2004 because it is at the pilot stage of development a nd no proven reserves have been established.

Once in commercial production, capitalized costs of proven reserves and equipment will be depleted using a unit-of-production method based upon estimated proven reserves (energy content) net of royalties. Unless a significant amount of reserves is involved, proceeds received from the disposition of oil and gas properties are credited to the capitalized costs. In the event of a significant sale of reserves, a proportionate amount of cost and accumulated depletion, based upon the ratio of reserves sold to total reserves, is removed from the capitalized costs and the resultant profit or loss is taken into income. The Lak Ranch property is in the pilot stage of development. To-date, there has been no commercial production from the property and as a result no depletion has been recorded.

The recoverability of the amounts shown for oil and gas properties is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable oil reserves, maintaining title and beneficial interest in the properties, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to bring the reserves into production, and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition of properties. The amounts shown as oil and gas interests represent net costs to date, less proceeds from oil sales, and do not necessarily represent present or future values.

Asset retirement obligations

Effective May 1, 2004, the Company adopted the recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 3110, “Asset Retirement Obligations”.

This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. Management estimates that the Company has not incurred any significant asset retirement obligations to date.

(expressed in Canadian dollars)

Revenue recognition

Revenues associated with the production and sale of crude oil owned by the Company are recognized when title to the product passes to the purchaser.

Proceeds from sale of these products prior to the commencement of commercial production are offset against capitalized costs.

Translation of foreign currencies

Derek Resources (USA) Inc. is considered an integrated foreign subsidiary and accordingly, its results and balance sheet are translated using the temporal method. Under this method of translation, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historic exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Resulting exchange gains or losses are included in the determination of loss for the period.

Stock options

The Company prospectively adopted the amended requirements of CICA Handbook Section 3870, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation and Other Stock-based Payments”, in the year ended April 30, 2004. These amendments require an expense to be recognized in the financial statements where stock options are granted.

Compensation expense is recognized when stock options are granted using the Black-Scholes model of estimating the fair value of the options granted in the period. Consideration paid for the shares on exercise of the stock option is credited to capital stock.

Loss per share

The loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. The dilutive effect of in-the-money stock options and warrants has not been included in the calculation of loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

Field operating costs in 2005 consist of the Company’s share of the operating expenses of LAK Ranch charged by the operator. These costs comprise principally lease operating expenses, steam operations and workovers. The average percentage of operating expenses borne by the Company in the year was 64%.

In April 2001, the Company was granted a 100% interest in the LAK Ranch Project, located near Newcastle, Wyoming, subject to various minimum and production royalty payments.

April 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003

(expressed in Canadian dollars)

During the year ended April 30, 2002, as part of certain financings, the Company granted additional royalties of US$0.14 per barrel of oil produced on the LAK Ranch Project. In addition the property carries additional gross overriding royalties to various parties. The Company has to date repurchased 4.7% of these overriding royalties for its own account. Of these 4.7% overriding royalties, 3.3% are subject to LAK Ranch producing 600 barrels of oil per day by April 9, 2009.

In October 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with SEC Oil and Gas Partnership (SEC), whereby SEC could earn a 5% working interest in the LAK Ranch Project by advancing to the Company the sum of US$600,000 for expenditure on the LAK Ranch Project (spent). SEC will under this amended agreement receive a 10% net revenue share until 1.2 times payback (US$720,000) at which time their revenue interest will revert to 5%. The additional net revenues paid to SEC will be funded from the Company’s interest in the project and will reduce the Company’s net revenue until payback is achieved. (See also note 4).

In January 2004, the Company concluded an agreement with Ivanhoe Energy (Ivanhoe), whereby Ivanhoe can earn up to a 60% interest in the LAK Ranch Project by expending US$5,000,000 on capital development of the project. Ivanhoe and the Company are responsible for their respective share of the operating costs and receive a revenue share proportional to their interest at the time. Ivanhoe has earned an initial interest of 30% and will earn an additional 6% for each US$1,000,000 expended. Ivanhoe’s interest will be adjusted quarterly based on expenditures made. As at April 30, 2005, the ownership of the LAK Ranch Project was Ivanhoe 40%, SEC 5%, and the Company 55%. Ivanhoe has incurred capital development expenditures of approximately US$1,700,000 to April 30, 2005.

The Company has posted performance bonds of US$20,000 (2004 - US$20,000) in relation to the LAK Ranch Project.

4 Earn-in party trust funds

During the year ended April 30, 2004, SEC has advanced the Company US$600,000 to earn a 5% working interest in the LAK Ranch Project. The Company held these funds in trust, to expend on SEC’s behalf, to cover operating expenses. As at April 30, 2005, these funds have been expended in their entirety (April 30, 2004 - $146,962 unspent) and SEC Oil and Gas Partnership has earned a 5% working interest in the project. (See also note 3).

9 Material differences between Canadian and United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (Canadian GAAP), which differ in certain respects from those principles that the Company would have followed had its consolidated financial statements been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The significant measurement differences between Canadian and U.S. GAAP and their effect on the consolidated financial statements are described below:

	2005	2004	2003
	$	$	$
Consolidated statements of loss Loss for the year under Canadian GAAP	(1,375,553)	(1,569,893)	(522,877)
Accretion on notes payable (a)	-	6,522	250,000
Gain on settlement of notes payable (a)	-	-	(37,750)
Loss for the year under U.S. GAAP	(1,375,553)	(1,563,371)	(310,627)
Loss per share under U.S. GAAP	(0.04)	(0.06)	(0.02)
Consolidated balance sheets Liabilities Liabilities under Canadian GAAP	172,177	363,614	1,595,142
Equity component of notes payable (a)	-	-	203,300
Liabilities under U.S. GAAP	172,177	363,614	1,798,442
Shareholders’ equity Shareholders’ equity under Canadian GAAP	15,113,523	14,290,820	12,729,206
Notes payable (a)	-	-	(57,000)
Shareholders’ equity under U.S. GAAP	15,113,523	14,290,820	12,672,206

a)

Certain of the notes payable, with options to convert principal and interest into common shares of the Company, were split between debt and equity. Under U.S. GAAP, the conversion option would not be attributed any value and accordingly, the entire carrying amount of the notes payable would be classified as debt.

b)

For U.S. GAAP purposes, the Company prospectively adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 148 and therefore there is no difference between Canadian and U.S. GAAP in this regard.

c)

U.S. GAAP requires that a comprehensive income statement be prepared. Comprehensive income is defined as “the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners”. The comprehensive income statement reconciles the reported net income to the comprehensive income amount.

For U.S. GAAP purposes, there is no difference between the Company’s net income and comprehensive income.

d)

Effective May 1, 2003, the Company adopted FAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” The Company adopted, effective May 1, 2004, the equivalent Canadian standard. The adoption of these standards did not have any impact on the results or financial position of the Company.

Impact of new and pending U.S. GAAP accounting standards

In September of 2004, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 106, which provides guidance regarding the interaction of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143) with the full cost accounting rules in Article 4-10 of Regulation S-X. This bulletin clarifies the treatment of assets and liabilities resulting from the implementation of SFAS 143 on the full cost ceiling test and the calculation of depletion, depreciation and amortization. The Company is in compliance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 106.

In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” which supersedes APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. This Statement requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant and recognition of the cost in the results of operations over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The Company prospectively adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation under U.S. GAAP in fiscal 2004.

10 Commitments

The Company leased new premises from May 1, 2004. The lease has a term of 24 months and commits the Company to monthly rent charges of approximately $4,530 per month.
