1.
HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended January 31, 2003, may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended July 31, 2003. For further information, refer to our financial statements and footnotes include d on the Form 10-KSB for the year ended July 31, 2002.
The Company was incorporated on October 29, 1999 under the laws of Nevada to engage in any lawful business or activity for which corporations may be organized under the laws of the State of Nevada. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises", the Company is deemed to be in the development stage. The Company is in the business of earning royalty income on oil and gas properties. During the year ended July 31, 2001, the Company issued 400,000 common shares at an agreed value of $50,000 to acquire a 2% gross overriding royalty interest on oil and gas production (Note 3).
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows at January 31, 2003 and for the period then ended have been made. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended July 31, 2002. The results of operations for the period ended January 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending July 31, 2003.
2.
GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements are in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, to date the Company has received minimal royalty revenue. Without realization of additional capital, or additional sources of revenue, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company's management plans on advancing funds on an as needed basis and in the longer term, deriving cash from revenue from the operations. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on these additional management advances, and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations.
If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the reported net loss and the balance sheet classifications used.

Royalty interest | $ 1 | $ 1 |
Edgerton, Alberta
During fiscal 2001, the Company issued 400,000 common shares with an agreed value of $50,000 to acquire a 2% gross overriding royalty interest over certain petroleum producing lands in the Province of Alberta, Canada known as Edgerton "27", TWP 42, RGE 3, W4M, Section 27 granted by Harbour Petroleum Company Limited.
During the year ended July 31, 2002, management of the Company determined there to be an impairment in the carrying value of the royalty interest and as a result, wrote down its investment to $1.

ITEM 2 PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion of the plan of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report for the six months ended January 31, 2003. This quarterly report contains certain forward-looking statements and the Company's future operation results could differ materially from those discussed herein.
Geophysical Data Audit
We commenced the initial stage of our business plan in June, 2001. We are examining suitable trade geophysical data available in the immediate vicinity of our current royalty interest. Our examination of trade data brokers' inventory will determine the geographic location, age and parameters of existing data with a view to acquiring and re-processing suitable data. The study is anticipated to take approximately 60 days and acquisition and processing will take an additional 30 days. The activity of data acquisition involves our company reviewing currently available seismic data for quality and technical merit and purchasing that geophysical data in the geographic area of our proposed activity. This data is recorded digitally and can be manipulated through the application of various filters and processes which clarify the data from extraneous seismic noise. This constitutes reprocessing seismic data. This activity is conducted by geophysicists with specialized training.
The estimated costs of this initial program are:
Data Acquisition - 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) @ $260 per kilometer:
$5,200
Re-processing - @ $194 per kilometer:
$3,880
Consultant - Identification and monitoring reprocessing
@ $325 per day for 10 days:
$ 3,250
Total:
$12,330
Geophysical Acquisition Programme
The initial geophysical audit programme will identify selected areas that require specific data acquisition to define drilling targets. The programme may be structured as a geophysical farm-in with a drilling option or we may elect to acquire the data on open Crown Lands. In the first case we will contract with property owners or the owners of hydrocarbon rights to allow us to acquire data in exchange for an option to drill on the subject lands if our geophysical data defines a prospective drilling target. In the second case, we would acquire the proprietary data with a view to requesting the Province of Alberta to post the lands for public auction. In either case we would secure the optimum drilling locations. If our company pursues a geophysical farm-in, it means that we have negotiated the rights to petroleum and natural gas lands by acq uiring geophysical data over lands currently owned by a third party. The negotiations involve offering the third party the acquired geophysical data at no cost in return for the exclusive right to drill a well on the petroleum and natural gas lands in order to earn a portion of the petroleum and natural gas rights. If petroleum and natural gas rights over certain lands have not been leased by the government to oil and gas companies, those lands are considered to be open lands. In this case, there are no parties to negotiate farm-ins with as the petroleum and natural gas rights over open lands are available only through government run auctions.
Management of the Company is working on our phase one exploration program having acquired a library of available geophysical data in our area of interest. Management expects to identify which data it will acquire and re-process before the middle of calendar 2003. Our phase two geophysical acquisition program is currently scheduled for the fall of 2003.
The estimated costs of a geophysical exploration programme are:
Permitting and Right of Way @ $970 per kilometer
-10 kilometers:
$9,700
Acquisition @ $1,290 per kilometer:
$12,900
Processing and Interpretation:
$ 4,500
Total:
$27,100
Drilling Option
We currently do not have the funds necessary to pursue a drilling program following our first two phases. However, in the event drill targets are identified and we are able to raise funding independently or through industry partners, we would consider the following options.
We would use our geophysical audit and acquisition data as an enticement to lessors of mineral rights to trade our data for the right to drill an earning well on the petroleum and natural gas rights at no additional cost to the lessor. We would seek to recover our drilling cost from the sale of the first hydrocarbons and after recovery of these costs share in future development and profits at the negotiated rates.
Alternatively, should our geophysical acquisition delineate a drilling target on open Crown lands, we would place a bid to acquire a lease to the lands at a regulated open auction. Current land prices vary from $400 to $1500 dollars per acre and the size of the offered lands could be as high as 640 acres. In this scenario the Company would not share the interest in the mineral rights with third parties.
Drilling option scenario costs are:
Drilling one well to a depth of 750 metres:
$162,000
Total:
$162,000
Land acquisition scenario costs are:
Acquiring 640 acres @ $645 per acre:
$412,800
Drilling costs per well @ eight wells:
$1,296,000
Total:
$1,708,800
