Notes to Financial Statements

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to SEC Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such instructions. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto as at April 30, 2004.
In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of these unaudited financial statements have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the ninth-month period ended January 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ended April 30, 2005.
NOTE 2 - DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
North American Natural Gas, Inc. (formerly FAR Group, Inc.) herein (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Washington, U.S.A. on March 24, 2000. The Company acquired a license to market and distribute vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements, and other health and fitness products in which the grantor of the license offers these products for sale from various suppliers on their Web site.
The Company is in the development stage. In a development stage company, management devotes most of its activities in developing a market for its products. Planned principal activities have not yet begun. The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage with respect to any planned principal business activity is dependent upon its successful efforts to raise additional equity financing and/or attain profitable operations. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any equity financing or sell any of its products at a profit. There is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
During fiscal 2003, the Company changed its name to North American Natural Gas, Inc. as it had anticipated that it would undertake a new business purpose in the oil and gas exploration industry. The Company was unsuccessful in its efforts to raise the required capital to acquire the oil and gas properties contemplated and reverted back to its original business to exploit the license to market and sell vitamins and other health and fitness products.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
None
NOTE 4 - COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at January 31, 2005, the Company has no items that represent comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
| ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION |
The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. This Report contains statements that may contain forward-looking statements concerning the Company's future operations and planned future acquisitions and other matters and the Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors for such statements. Any statements that involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performances often, but not always, using phrases such as "expects", or "does not expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans", "estimates", or "intends", or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", or "might" or "will" be taken to occur or be achieved are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward looking statements".
The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date made. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs and estimates of the Company's management as well as on assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company at the time such statements were made. Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and other risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, either as a result of the matters set forth or incorporated in this Report generally and certain economic and business factors, some of which may be beyond the control of the Company.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company's discussions and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources are based upon the Company's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
Plan of Operation
During the period from March 24, 2000 through January 31, 2005, we engaged in no significant operations other than organizational activities, acquisition of the rights to market Vitamineralherb, preparation for registration of securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, preparation of a supplementary business plan and completing a private placement. No revenues were received by us during this period.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, we changed our name to North American Natural Gas, Inc. as we had anticipated that we would undertake a new business purpose in the oil and gas exploration industry. We entered into agreements to purchase interests in two oil and gas exploration opportunities subject to raising a minimum of US$11,000,000 in a private placement. We were unsuccessful in our efforts to raise the minimum amount and all funds received were subsequently returned to the original subscribers. All agreements were terminated. We spent an aggregate of $85,683 in connection with the failed financing efforts.
As we were unsuccessful in our efforts to raise the required capital to change our business purpose, we reverted back to our original business to determine the feasibility of marketing the Vitamineralherb.com products in various markets, and, if the products proved to be in demand, begin marketing and selling Vitamineralherb.com products.
We have extended our license with Vitamineralherb.com for an additional three years to market vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements and other health and fitness products in Minnesota through the Vitamineralherb.com web site. The license remains in effect until April 2006 subject to the payment of annual fees.
The implementation of our initial plans was delayed as Vitamineralherb.com re-worked its web site rendering it non-operational for a period of time. In addition, Vitamineralherb changed its primary supplier of products again delaying our ability to initiate our business plan. Our efforts to implement our initial plans continues to be delayed as Vitamineralherb continues to modify its web site and to find a replacement supplier for its vitamin and mineral products to offer to its licensees.
To date, the Vitamineralherb.com website continues to be non-operational. It is our intention to continue to explore other business opportunities although we have not identified any new business opportunities and have no agreements related to such opportunities.
For the nine-month period ended January 31, 2005, we had total general and administrative expenses of $19,476 as compared to $36,239 during the same period ended January 31, 2004, a decrease of $16,763. In the previous period we incurred additional professional fees relating to our unsuccessful efforts to raise the required capital to acquire the previous contemplated oil and gas properties. For the remainder of the current fiscal year ending April 30, 2005, we anticipate incurring a loss as a result of expenses associated with maintaining the company in good standing and exploring new business opportunities.
We remain a company in the development stage. Our balance sheet as of January 31, 2005 reflects total assets of $20,581 comprising of cash. We had total liabilities of $1,100 for a positive working capital position of $19,481. We have incurred a loss of $19,476for the fiscal period to date and a total loss of $291,519 from inception. During the quarter ended January 31, 2005, we did not issue any common stock.
Liquidity
We have cash on hand of $20,581 as at January 31, 2005 and working capital of $19,481 as compared to cash on hand of $44,236 and working capital of $38,957 as at April 30, 2004.
We believe the Company currently does not have sufficient funds to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months. The Company intends to raise the capital required to fund its cash requirements and future business opportunities by issuing debt and/or equity securities, although the Company has no current arrangements or agreements related to such financings. The Company's management is exploring a variety of options to meet the Company's cash requirements and future capital requirements, including the possibility of equity offerings, debt financing, and business combinations. There can be no assurance financing will be available or accessible on reasonable terms.
We may engage in a combination with another business. During the fiscal year of 2003, we entered into agreements that would have changed our business to the oil and gas industry. We were unsuccessful in raising the minimum capital required to complete the transaction and subsequently terminated all the agreements. We have engaged in discussions concerning potential business combinations, but have not entered into any agreement for such a combination.
Our failure to generate revenues and conduct operations since inception raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. We will require substantial working capital, and currently have inadequate capital to fund all of our business strategies, which could severely limit our operations.
