Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
Board of Directors
Gulf Coast Oil & Gas, Inc. and Subsidiary
Formerly Otish Mountain Diamond Company and Subsidiary
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gulf Coast Oil & Gas, Inc. and Subsidiary, formerly Otish Mountain Diamond Company and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three month and six month and since inception periods then ended. Theses interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquires of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the object of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
The Company has not generated significant revenues or profits to date. This factor among others may indicate the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern depends upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to conduct its operations and its ability to obtain additional sources of capital and financing. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2005
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
History
Otish Mountain Diamond Company (formerly First Cypress, Inc.) a Nevada corporation, was organized on September 14, 1999. From inception to September 31, 2003, the Company has not generated any revenues and is considered a development stage enterprise, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 7. The Company was in the process of developing an internet computer software program known as EngineMax. Essentially, software development was suspended in November 2002 due to cash flow constraints. In October 2002, the Company acquired certain items constituting the “Money Club Financial” business concept and business plan. Due to the Company’s inability to raise the necessary equity capital to further the Money Club Financial business concept, no monies were spent furthering the business concept from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2003. The company discontinued its involvement in these operations in the third quarter of 2003.
On November 30, 2003, the Company successfully acquired 100% of Otish Mountain Diamond Corp. (“Otish Corp.”). The business activities of Otish Corp. became the business activities of the Company. In connection with the merger the capitalization of the Company was amended to reflect a 220:1 reverse stock split and to increase the authorized capital to 600,000,000 shares, consisting of 500,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001, and 100,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.001. Also, 1,000,000 shares of a Serial A Preferred were issued for services rendered. Finally, the then president of the Company entered into two agreements with the Company; one, assumed all the known liabilities of the Company, and the second, agreed to convert debt owed the president of $236,000 into 236,000 shares of Company common stock.
The Company’s income state at the date of merger was as follows:
| | | | |
Revenues | | $ | -0- | |
| | | | |
Expenses: | | | | |
Exploration costs | | | 36,293 | |
Administrative | | | 136,284 | |
| | | | |
Net Loss | | $ | 172,577 | |
Otish Mountain Diamond Corp. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 4, 2003. The Company is in the mining and exploration business and has mineral rights in the Otish Mountain and Superior Craton regions of Canada. The Company’s business plan includes the expansion of its mineral rights and the mining of diamonds.
In August and November 2003, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock and paid $77,745 for mineral rights in the Otish Mountain and Superior Craton regions of Quebec, Canada.
In the first quarter of 2004 the Company issued 20,300,050 shares of common stock for services valued at $5,180,053. Valuation was based on the approximate trading value of the Company’s shares on the date issued.
During the third quarter of 2004 the Company issued 2,634,000 shares of common stock to liquidate $263,400 of advances.
On January 13, 2005, the Company changed its name to Gulf Coast Oil & Gas, Inc.
During June 2005, the Company received $200,000 for the sale of 955,555 pre split shares of common stock.
On July 13, 2005, the Company declared a 3 for 1 forward stock split. All shares in the financial statements have been adjusted retroactively for this split.
Financial Statement Presentation
The Company was a shell at the time of the acquisition having only $192 in assets; the acquisition was treated as a reverse merger whereby the acquired company is treated as the acquiring company for accounting purposes.
An Exploration Stage Company
The Company is an Exploration Stage Company since it is engaged in the search for mineral deposits, which are not in the development or productions stage. As an exploration stage company the Company will present, since inception, results on its statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There was not cash paid during the periods for interest or taxes.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Maintenance, repairs and renewals are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided for over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to five years, using the straight-lined method.
Website Development Costs
The Company has expended $1,500 in Website Development Costs through March 1, 2005, for internal use software. These costs are being amortized over a three year estimated life.
Mineral Rights
The Company uses the “full cost method” of accounting for its mineral reserves. Under this method of accounting, properties are divided into cost centers. The Company presently has two cost centers. All acquisition, exploration, and development costs for properties within each cost center are capitalized when incurred. The Company intends to deplete these costs equally over the estimated units to be recovered from the properties. These costs were written off at December 31, 2004 as part of the cost of mineral rights abandoned.
Deposit on Interest in Unproved Oil and Gas Leases
On June 8, 2005, the Company paid $100,000 to acquire, subject to lease availability, a 75% working interest in oil and gas leases in Louisiana. Under the terms of the agreement the Company will pay 100% of the costs of acquisition, exploration and development of the leases, the lease are subject to overriding royalties, and has one year to submit the remaining portion of the total costs. In the event the leases are unavailable, the funds advanced, less expenses incurred will be returned to the Company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s primary functional currency is the Canadian dollar. For financial statement presentation the statements are translated in U.S. dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates while non-monetary items are translated at historical rates. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the period, except for depreciation, which is translated at historical rates. Therefore, translation adjustments and transaction gains or losses are recognized in the income in the period of occurrence.

On August 19, 2003 the Company purchased the mineral rights for 60,933 acres in the Otish Mountain and Superior Craton regions of Quebec, Canada. The claims were purchased for $42,506 and 1,250,000 shares of common stock. The Company is required to spend a minimum of $135 CDN per mining claim on exploration before the expiration date of each claim. The Company is required to spend $105 CDN per claim maintenance/renewal fee to the appropriate governmental authority before the expiration date of the mining claim. If the Company fails to meet its obligations under this agreement the seller has the option to make the expenditures and to reassume title to the mining claims.
On November 4, 2003 the Company purchased the mineral rights for 775 acres in the Otish Mountain region of Quebec, Canada. The claims were purchased for $1,855 and 250,000 shares of common stock. The Company is required to pay a 2% royalty of the net smelter returns and a 2% royalty on the gross overriding royalty as defined in the agreement. The Company shall also pay to the seller $5,000 CDN minimum annual advance royalty beginning on November 1, 2004 and each year thereafter. The Company is also required to keep the property in good standing for 1 year or the seller shall be entitled to reacquire the claims.
On November 4, 2003 the Company entered into a joint venture agreement for the mineral rights for 15,361 acres in the Otish Mountain region of Quebec, Canada. The investment was $33,383 and 1,500,000 shares of common stock. The Company has paid the required claim tax/renewal fee of $12,495 CDN by the due date of November 27, 2003. The Company is required to make a minimum advance royalty payment of $15,000 CDN once mining stage begins. Royalties are subject to underlying royalties of 2% of the net smelter returns and 2% of the gross overriding royalty as defined in the agreement. The Company total outlay for the joint venture shall not exceed $375,000 CDN. The Company owns 45% of the joint venture.
At present the Company has no proven properties.
At December 31, 2004 the Company decided to abandon the above mineral rights. The balance of the rights and the net book value of the website development costs were expensed. The total amount written off was $193,226.
NOTE 3 – DEPOSIT ON INTEREST IN UNPROVED OIL AND GAS LEASES
On June 8, 2005, the Company paid $100,000 to acquire, subject to lease availability, a 75% working interest in oil and gas leases in Louisiana. Under the terms of the agreement the Company will pay 100% of the costs of acquisition, exploration and development of the leases, the lease are subject to overriding royalties, and has one year to submit the remaining portion of the total costs. In the event the leases are unavailable, the funds advanced, less expenses incurred will be returned to the Company.

THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, GULF COAST OIL & GAS, INC.‘S ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF CERTAIN FACTORS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO COMPETITION AND OVERALL MARKET CONDITIONS.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Otish Mountain Diamond Company was originally incorporated in Nevada under the name First Cypress Technologies, Inc. (“First Cypress”) on September 14,1999. The Company was in the process of developing an internet computer software program known as EngineMax, which was suspended in November 2002. The Company is currently engaged in diamond exploration activities in the Otish Mountain area of Northern Quebec, Canada. The Company is in its exploration state as it is engaged in the search for mineral deposits.
Prior to the Acquisition, discussed below, the Company had been in the process of developing an internet computer software program that was suspended in November 2002. In October 2002, the Company acquired certain items constituting the “Money Club Financial” business concept and business plan (the “Money Club”). Due to the Company’s inability to raise the necessary equity capital to further the Money Club Financial business concept, no monies were spent furthering the business concept from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2003. The Company discontinued its involvement in these operations in the third quarter of 2003. The Company owned an option to purchase a 100% undivided interest in the Cahill Mineral Claims in the Osoyoos Mining Division in British Columbia, Canada, which the Company chose to let expire. The Company also owned an option to purchase a 70% undivided interest in the Eddy Mineral Claims in the Fort Steele Mining District of British Columbia, Canada. The Company acquired a 50% interest in the Temagami Claim in the Sudbury Mining Division in Ontario, Canada, which it has abandoned. The Company intends to also allow its option on the Eddy Mineral Claims to expire when the exploration expenditures on the claim become due during 2004. At December 31, 2004 the Company decided to abandon its mineral rights.
In July 2003, the Company changed its name to First Cypress, Inc. The Company subsequently changed its name to Otish Mountain Diamond Company in October 2003, in anticipation of the acquisition of Otish Mountain Diamond Corp., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter “Otish Corp.”), discussed below.
In October 2003, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, that are entitled to fifteen (15) votes per shares (or an aggregate of 15,000,000 votes) to Philipp Buschmann. Control of the Company shifted to Mr. Buschmann at that time. In November 2003, First Cypress, Otish Corp. and the former Otish Corp. shareholders entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange” or “Acquisition”) whereby the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Otish Corp. in exchange for 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Otish Mountain Diamond Company, a Nevada corporation, herein being referred to as the “Company” owns one hundred percent (100%) of Otish Mountain Diamond Corp., a Nevada corporation herein being referred to as Otish Corp. A reference
herein to the Company includes a reference to Otish Corp. and vice-versa unless otherwise provided.
On November 30, 2003, the Company successfully acquired 100% of Otish Mountain Diamond corp. (“Otish Corp.”). The business activities of Otish Corp. became the business activities of the Company. In connection with the merger the capitalization of the Company was amended to reflect a 220:1 reverse stock split and to increase the authorized capital to 600,000,000 shares, consisting of 500,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001, and 100,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.001. Also, 1,000,000 shares of a Serial A Preferred were issued for services rendered. Finally, the then president of the Company entered into two agreements with the Company; one, assumed all the known liabilities of the Company, and the second, agreed to convert debt owed the president of $236,000 into 236,000 shares of Company stock.
In October 2002, the Company completed a 5:1 forward stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock. In October, 2003, the Company completed a 1:200 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock. The effects of both stock splits have been retroactively reflected in this report on Form 10-KSB unless otherwise stated.
On December 31, 2004 the Company decided to abandon its mineral rights and thereby eliminate any further expense.
The Company is no longer engaged in diamond exploration activities.
On January 13, 2005, the Company changed its name to Gulf Coast Oil & Gas, Inc.
During June 2005, the Company received $200,000 for the sale of 955,555 pre-split shares of common stock.
On July 13, 2005, the Company declared a 3 for 1 forward common stock split.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Gulf Coast Oil & Gas, Inc. is an exploration and production company solely dedicated to oil and gas exploration projects located in the United States with offices in Houston, Texas.
Gulf Coast Oil & Gas, Inc. plans to selectively acquire an interest in technically sound drilling deals that are ready to drill in order to have a better handle on costs and profitability. The Company will take a larger percentage of lower risk opportunities that have potential for significant reserves and quick payout. However, the Company will consider a lesser percentage in technically sound but higher risk plays that have large reserve potential capable of developing into a major field.
Gulf Coast Oil & Gas, Inc. will also consider acquiring an interest (working and/or royalty) in proven (based upon offset production and geology reports) undeveloped drilling locations. Various factors such as cost estimates, current pricing, reserve potential, projected payout, spacing requirements, etc. must always be taken into account.
On June 8, 2005, the Company paid $100,000 to acquire, subject to lease availability, a 75% working interest in oil and gas leases in Louisiana. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay 100% of the costs of acquisition, exploration and development of the leases, which leases are subject to overriding royalties, and has one year to submit the remaining portion of the total costs. In the event the leases are unavailable, the funds advanced by the Company, less expenses incurred, will be returned to the Company.
INDUSTRY, MARKET OVERVIEW AND COMPETITIVE BUSINESS CONDITIONS
Gulf Coast Oil & Gas, Inc. will compete with other companies that are in the same or similar business, many of which are of greater size and have far greater financial resources than the Company.
EMPLOYEES
The Company has two (2) employees and contemplates using a varying number of subcontractors. The number of subcontractors that the Company uses will vary depending on the type and amount of work that is required.
RECENT EVENTS
Description of Property
The Company is currently evaluating the following prospects:
Webb Prospect – Jasper County, Texas
| | |

| | |
Objective: | | 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th Wilcox sands and the Geronimo sand package |
| | |
Trap: | | 800 acre high side fault closure defined by 6 lines of recent CDP seismic data. |
| | |
Flow Rates: | | 1.5 MMCFGD + 250 BOPD (actual rates) |
| | |

| | |
Wells to Develop: | | 4 to 5 wells |
Ebnenezer Area – Columbia County, Arkansas
General: Two prospects northeast of Village field (Smackover 1938) were defined with well control, 2D and 3D seismic data. The prospects offer moderate risk structural and stratigraphic potential in the prolific Smackover limestone trend of southwest Arkansas.
Exploration History: The Smackover trend of southwest Arkansas was discovered in the 1930’s using surface geology (shepherd’s anticline). The large structures were salt-supported anticlines that are shown in light blue on the map above. Many exploration companies acquired grids of 2D seismic data over the area in 1950-1990. The 2D data helped locate structures, and a few “accidental” stratigraphic fields were found. In the late 1980’s general industry thinking was that “all of the significant Smackover fields had been found using the existing 2D seismic data. However, in 1993 Grayson field (Smackover) was discovered using 2D seismic data. Grayson field is a large field discovered in a mature basin.
Grayson field will produce over 25 million barrels of oil from fourteen wells. Immediately upon discovery, the owners of Grayson field contracted Hill Geophysical Consulting to acquire the 1st 3D seismic program in Arkansas. The Grayson 3D seismic data clearly showed the structure and stratigraphy of the Smackover limestone. Detailed petrophysical work was done and applied to the 3D data to place the wells in the best locations within the reservoir.
The 2D seismic grid that Grayson was located on became a valuable asset in 1993. Hill Geophysical Consulting purchased a license and used the entire 2D seismic grid to locate any Grayson look-a-likes. Follow-up work was done with 3D seismic acquisition on strong leads. Unfortunately, none of the leads developed into Grayson-sized prospects. The prospects that were found at that time were deemed uneconomic due to the price of oil. These prospects now have been reworked with current economics and are quite viable.
The prospects at Ebenezer were first identified with 2D seismic data and well control on the northeast flank of the large Village field structure. A 3D seismic program confirmed the prospects. Current oil pricing makes these prospects very attractive. Three-year leases have been acquired in the past year on 100% of the acreage covering the prospects. The leases are the same as those taken immediately after the 3D seismic program was completed in the 1990’s. The prospects are ready to drill. Gross reserves are calculated using 25’ of pay and 300 bbl/acft recovery, and flow rates are an average of Smackover production in the area.
Prospect #1
| • | | Exploration method: seismically defined prospect with nearby well control |
|
| • | | Trap type: combination structural – stratigraphic trap (northern limit is pinch-out of thick Smackover wedge trending East/West draped across NE/SW plunging structural nose) |
|
| • | | Target: Smackover limestone |
|
| • | | Target depth: 7,900 feet |
|
| • | | 313 acres of potential stratigraphic/structural closure |
|
| • | | Potential reserves of 2,350,000 barrels of oil |
|
| • | | Expected flow rate 250-350 barrels of oil per day |
|
| • | | Located 5 miles northeast of Village Field (Smackover) |
|
| • | | Number of wells needed to recover reserves: up to 3 |
Pogo Producing drilled a well on the southwest flank of Prospect #1 (blue circle) using 2D seismic data. The well found a very thick Buckner section on top of the Smackover formation. The Buckner formation is thicker in this well than any other well in the area. Thick Buckner is a clear indicator of the well being down-thrown on a fault. The 2D seismic data had a seismic anomaly that was incorrectly interpreted as Smackover porosity. The new seismic data clearly showed the well to be down-thrown. A large prospective area is found up-thrown on the (green) fault. No other wells have been drilled close to this prospect. The seismic data shows a Smackover wedge that appears to pinch-out on the northeast side of the structure setting up a strong stratigraphic trap with a good structural component. This pinch-out is a regional feature that has stratigraphic/structural traps east and west of this prospect. The prospective area covers approximately 313 acres that may have over 2.35 million barrels of oil trapped. Three wells would be needed to produce the potential reserves.
Prospect #3
| • | | Exploration method: seismically defined prospect with nearby well control |
|
| • | | Trap type: combination structural – stratigraphic trap (northern limit is pinch-out of thick Smackover wedge trending East/West draped across NE/SW plunging structural nose that has a 20 acre closure) |
|
| • | | Target: Smackover limestone |
|
| • | | Target depth: 7,800 feet |
|
| • | | 98 acres of potential stratigraphic/structural closure |
|
| • | | Potential reserves of 735,000 barrels of oil |
|
| • | | Expected flow rate 250-350 barrels of oil per day |
|
| • | | Located 5 miles northeast of Village Field (Smackover) |
|
| • | | Number of wells needed to recover reserves: 2 |
Prospect #3 is a small potential stratigraphic trap draped across a strong nose that was seen on the seismic data. The prospect covers 98 acres and could have over .7 million barrels of oil. Only one well would be needed to produce the oil. Isochronal mapping (thickness) of the Smackover interval showed that the structure was in place at the time of hydrocarbon migration. This prospect should be drilled after Prospect #1.
The prospects fall in an area with excellent Smackover reservoir quality rock. Porosities of 12-18 percent and permeabilities in excess of 500 md are seen in nearby wells. The Smackover limestone reservoir has a strong water drive, and average flow rates of up to 350 barrels of oil per day can be expected. The proposed wells are near state highways and county roads with plenty of infrastructure support in the way of pipelines and easy surface access.
Conclusion:
The Ebenezer area offers good Smackover limestone prospects that were defined by modern 2D and 3D seismic data. The prospects are moderate risk and offer a high return on investment with a successful well. The prospects have similar structural and stratigraphic character to other productive Smackover fields in the area. Significant reserve potential can be tested at a relatively low drilling cost.
Company Office:
The Company currently has an office suite consisting of 250 sq. ft. located at 5847 San Felipe, Suite 1700, Houston, Texas 77057. The current lease commitment is $600.00 per month.
