Triangle Petroleum Corporation

(An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in U.S. dollars, except as noted)

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 11, 2003 under the name Peloton Resources Inc. In December 2003, the Company purchased six mineral claims situated in the Greenwood Mining Division in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company’s principal business plan was to acquire, explore and develop mineral properties and to ultimately seek earnings by exploiting the mineral claims. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006, the Company abandoned its mineral property as a result of poor exploration results, and changed the Company’s principal business to that of acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas resource properties. On May 10, 2005, the Company changed its name to Triangle Petroleum Corporation.

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation in December 2003 and has not yet realized any significant revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas resource properties. The Company has incurred losses of $37,537,245 since inception on December 11, 2003 to July 31, 2007. During the year ended January 31, 2006, the Company issued $26,000,000 of convertible debentures. During the year ended January 31, 2007, the Company issued an additional $5,000,000 of convertible debentures. During the six month period ended July 31, 2007, the Company issued 10,462,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $19,308,006. The Company’s oil and gas capital expenditures over the next twelve months are expected to be approximately $14,800,000. As at July 31, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $17,287,642.

Although existing cash resources are currently expected to provide sufficient funds through the upcoming fiscal year, the capital expenditures required to achieve planned principal operations may be substantial. The continuation of the Company as a going concern for a period longer than the current fiscal year is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploitation of economically recoverable reserves in its resource properties, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a) Basis of Presentation

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Elmworth Energy Corporation, incorporated in the Province of Alberta, Canada, and Triangle USA Petroleum Corporation, incorporated in the State of Colorado, USA. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year-end is January 31.

b) Interim Financial Statements

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-QSB. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended January 31, 2007, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed on May 1, 2007 with the SEC.

The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position at July 31, 2007 and January 31, 2007, and the consolidated results of its operations and consolidated cash flows for the six months ended July 31, 2007 and 2006. The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.

c) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, proved and unproved oil and gas expenditures, asset retirement obligations, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

d) Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar and management has adopted SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets, liabilities and items recorded in income arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

f) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consists of computer hardware, geophysical software, furniture and equipment and leasehold improvements, and is recorded at cost. Computer hardware and geophysical software are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of three years. Furniture and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years.

g) Long-lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

h) Oil and Gas Properties

The Company utilizes the full-cost method of accounting for petroleum and natural gas properties. Under this method, the Company capitalizes all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves, including leasehold acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties and costs of drilling of productive and non-productive wells into the full cost pool on a country by country basis. When the Company obtains proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the proved reserves and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. The costs of unproved properties are not amortized until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. Until such determination is made the Company assesses quarterly whether impairment has occurred, and includes in the amortization base drilling exploratory dry holes associated with unproved properties.

The Company applies a ceiling test to the capitalized cost in the full cost pool. The ceiling test limits such cost to the estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenue from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions. Specifically, the Company computes the ceiling test so that capitalized cost, less accumulated depletion and related deferred income tax, do not exceed an amount (the ceiling) equal to the sum of: (A) The present value of estimated future net revenue computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated future expenditures (based on current cost) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; plus (B) the cost of property not being amortized; plus (C) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; less (D) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the property.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

For unproven properties, the Company excludes from capitalized costs subject to depletion, all costs directly associated with the acquisition and evaluation of the unproved property until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to the property. Until such a determination is made, the Company assesses the property at least annually to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. In assessing impairment the Company considers factors such as historical experience and other data such as primary lease terms of the property, average holding periods of unproved property, and geographic and geologic data. The Company adds the amount of impairment assessed to the cost to be amortized subject to the ceiling test.

h) Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company recognizes a liability for future retirement obligations associated with the Company’s oil and gas properties. The estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation is based on the current cost escalated at an inflation rate and discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate. This liability is capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized over its useful life. The liability accretes until the Company settles the obligation.

i) Debt Issue Costs

In accordance with the Accounting Principles Board Opinion 21 “Interest on Receivables and Payables”, the Company recognizes debt issue costs on the balance sheet as deferred charges, and amortizes the balance over the term of the related debt. The Company follows the guidance in the EITF 95-13 “Classification of Debt Issue Costs in the Statement of Cash Flows” and classifies cash payments for debt issue costs as a financing activity.

j) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes oil and gas revenue when production is sold at a fixed or determinable price, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

k) Income Taxes

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

On February 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance regarding uncertain tax positions relating to derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. At July 31, 2007, the Company had no material uncertain tax positions.

l) Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and convertible securities, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Shares underlying these securities totaled approximately 16,376,000 as of July 31, 2007.

m) Financial Instruments

The fair values of financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued interest on convertible debt, accrued liabilities, and convertible debentures approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of convertible debentures are estimated to approximate their carrying values based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

n) Concentration of Risk

The Company does not believe that it is exposed to interest rate risk. The Company maintains its cash accounts in one commercial bank located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The Company's cash accounts consist of uninsured and insured business checking accounts and deposits maintained principally in U.S. dollars. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash in excess of federally insured amounts. As at July 31, 2007, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments on hedging activities. To date, the Company has not incurred a loss relating to this concentration of credit risk.

o) 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 July 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company has no items that represent comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

p) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payments,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense, based on estimated fair values, for all share-based awards, made to employees and directors, including stock options. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued SAB 107 relating to SFAS 123(R). The Company applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123(R).

All transactions in which goods or services are received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value or the equity instrument issued, whichever is the more reliable measure.

 SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.

No tax benefits were attributed to stock-based compensation expense because a full valuation allowance was maintained for all net deferred tax assets.

q) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

r) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

r) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140", to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

All of the Company’s oil and gas properties are located in the United States and Canada. The Company is currently participating in oil and gas exploration activities in Arkansas, Montana, Wyoming and Texas, USA, and Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Alberta, Canada.

(a) The Company, through a series of joint venture agreements with different parties, has $5,313,346 (January 31, 2007 - $6,808,802) of unproven oil and gas expenditures in Alberta and Nova Scotia, Canada. In respect to these unproven oil and gas expenditures, the Company has expended $398,745 (January 31, 2007 - $443,759) to acquire land, $2,059,151 (January 31, 2007 - $2,031,168) for geological and geophysical expenditures, and $2,855,450 (2007 - $4,333,875) for drilling related costs.

(b) On July 18, 2007, the Company sold its 27% interest in 12,100 gross acres in northeast Hill County of Texas for gross proceeds of $983,902. The Company had incurred land and geological and geophysical costs of $1,929,305 related to this prospect which resulted in a loss of $945,403 being recorded on the Company books.

(c) The Company’s proved property costs exceeded the ceiling test limitation as at July 31, 2007. As a result, the Company recorded a $2,946,000 non-cash impairment loss.

(d) The Company entered into a joint venture agreement whereby the Company received $500,000 in exchange for a 17.5% working interest in a producing well in the Wapiti area of northern Alberta, Canada. This receipt was offset directly against the Company’s share of drilling the subject well.

The Company is required to recognize an estimated liability for future costs associated with the abandonment of its oil and gas properties including without limitation the costs of reclamation of drilling sites, storage and transmission facilities and access roads. The Company bases its estimate of the liability on management’s industry experience and on its current understanding of federal and state regulatory requirements. The present value calculations require an estimate of the economic lives of the Company’s properties, assumptions of future inflation rates to apply to external estimates and the determination of the credit-adjusted risk-free rate to use. The estimated asset retirement obligations are reflected in depreciation, depletion and accretion calculations over the remaining life of the oil and gas properties.

8. Convertible Debentures

(a) On June 14, 2005, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a single accredited investor (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the investor purchased an 8% convertible debenture with a principal amount of $1,000,000, and a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share until June 15, 2008. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the investor had the right to purchase up to $5,000,000 of additional convertible debentures and warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock which was exercised on July 14, 2005, in exchange for an 8% convertible debenture with a principal amount of $5,000,000 and warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share until June 15, 2008.

The total convertible debentures of $6,000,000 were due and payable on June 10, 2007. The principal and accrued interest on these convertible debentures may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate of $1.00 per share, at the option of the holder. The investor has contractually agreed to restrict the ability to convert the convertible debentures to an amount which would not exceed the difference between the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder or issuable upon exercise of the warrant held by such holder and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The securities were issued in a private placement transaction pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The

8. Convertible Debentures (continued)

Company filed an SB-2 Registration Statement registering the resale of shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon conversion of these convertible debentures and exercise of the warrants.

In accordance with EITF 98-5 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, the Company recognized the value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $2,666,667 as additional paid-in capital and an equivalent discount which will be expensed over the term of the convertible debentures. In addition, in accordance with EITF 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, the Company has allocated the proceeds of issuance between the convertible debt and the detachable warrants based on their relative fair values. Accordingly, the Company recognized the fair value of the detachable warrants of $3,333,333 as additional paid-in capital and an equivalent discount against the convertible debentures. During the year ended January 31, 2006, a debenture with a principal amount of $900,000 was converted into 900,000 shares of common stock. The unamortized discount on the respective convertible debenture of $378,722 was charged to accretion expense. During the year ended January 31, 2007, debentures with a principal amount of $2,350,000 were converted into 2,350,000 shares of common stock. The unamortized discount on the respective convertible debentures of $1,049,247 was charged to accretion expense. During the six month period ended July 31, 2007, debentures with a principal amount of $2,750,000 was converted into 2,750,000 shares of common stock. The unamortized discount on the respective convertible debenture of $151,815 was charged to accretion expense. As at July 31, 2007, all of these $6,000,000 convertible debentures were converted into common stock of the company, as such the carrying value of the convertible debentures was $nil (January 31, 2007 - $2,234,374). On June 21, 2007, accrued interest of $628,058 was paid.

(b) On December 8, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a single investor pursuant to which the investor purchased 5% secured convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $15,000,000. The gross proceeds of this financing will be received as follows:

(i) $5,000,000 was received on closing;

(ii) $5,000,000 was received on the second business day prior to the filing date of the SB-2 Registration Statement; and

(iii) $5,000,000 was received on the fifth business day following the effective date of the SB-2 Registration Statement

The Company agreed to pay an 8% fee on the receipt of each installment, and a $15,000 structuring fee. The convertible debentures mature on the third anniversary of the date of issue (the “Maturity Date”) and bear interest at 5% per annum. The Company is not required to make any payments until the Maturity Date. The investor may convert, at any time, any amount outstanding under the convertible debentures into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of $5.00 or 90% of the average of the three lowest daily volume weighted average prices of the common stock, as quoted by Bloomberg, LP, of the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion.

The Company, at its option has the right, with three business days advance written notice, to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under these convertible debentures prior to the Maturity Date provided that the closing bid price of the common stock is less than $5.00 at the time of the redemption. In the event of redemption, the Company is obligated to pay an amount equal to the principal amount being redeemed plus a 20% redemption premium, and accrued interest.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) providing for the filing of an SB-2 Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registering the common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures. The Company was obligated to use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective no later than June 30, 2006 and to insure that the Registration Statement remains in effect until all of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures have been sold. In the event of a default of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, including its agreement to file the Registration Statement with the SEC no later than January 22, 2006, or if the Registration Statement was not declared effective by June 30, 2006, it is required pay to the investor, as liquidated damages, for each month that the Registration Statement has not been filed or declared effective, as the case may be, either a cash amount or shares of common stock equal to 2% of the liquidated value of the convertible debentures. The Company filed an SB-2 Registration Statement on January 18, 2006 that was declared effective May 26, 2006.

The investor has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the convertible debentures and receive shares of the Company’s common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by the investor in the aggregate and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and each of its subsidiaries executed security agreements (the “Security Agreements”) in favor of the investor granting them a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s goods, inventory, contractual rights and general intangibles, receivables, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and intellectual property. The Security Agreements state that if an event of default occurs under the convertible debentures or Security Agreements, the investor has the right to take possession of the collateral, to operate the Company’s business using the collateral, and have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise to satisfy the Company’s obligations under these agreements.

During the year ended January 31, 2007, debentures with a principal amount of $1,750,000 were converted into 943,336 shares of common stock. The unamortized discount on the respective convertible debentures of $48,980 was charged to accretion expense.

To July 31, 2007, the Company accrued interest of $991,610 (January 31, 2007 - $693,699) has been included in accrued liabilities. To July 31, 2007, accumulated accretion of $1,484,320 (January 31, 2007 - $1,697,551) has increased the carrying value of the convertible debentures to $9,287,263 (January 31, 2007 - $11,552,449).

(c) On December 28, 2005, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two accredited investors providing for the sale by the Company to the investors of 7.5% convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000, of which $5,000,000 was advanced immediately, and 1,250,000 warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, exercisable at a price of $5.00 per share until December 28, 2006, of which 625,000 were issued. The second installment of $5,000,000 and 625,000 warrants was advanced on January 18, 2006, upon the filing of an SB-2 Registration Statement by the Company with the SEC. The warrants expired in full without exercise during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2007.

The convertible debentures mature on the third anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”) and bear interest at the annual rate of 7.5%. The Company is not required to make any payments until the Maturity Date. The investors may convert, at any time, any amount outstanding under the convertible debentures into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price per share of $4.00.

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) providing for the filing of a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC registering the common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures and Warrants. The Company was obligated to use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective no later than May 28, 2006 and to insure that the registration statement remains in effect until all of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures have been sold. In the event of a default of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, including its agreement to file the Registration Statement with the SEC no later than February 26, 2006, or if the Registration Statement was not declared effective by June 30, 2006, the Company is required pay to the investors, as liquidated damages, for each month that the Registration Statement has not been filed or declared effective, as the case may be, a cash amount equal to 1% of the liquidated value of the convertible debentures. The Company filed an SB-2 Registration Statement on January 18, 2006 that was declared effective May 25, 2006.

Each investor has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the convertible debentures or exercise the Warrants and receive shares of the Company’s common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

In accordance with EITF 98-5 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, the Company recognized the value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $6,609,128 as additional paid-in capital and an equivalent discount which will be expensed over the term of the convertible debentures. In addition, in accordance with EITF 00-27 “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, the Company has allocated the proceeds of issuance between the convertible debt and the detachable warrants based on their relative fair values. Accordingly, the Company recognized the fair value of the detachable warrants of $3,390,872 as additional paid-in capital and an equivalent discount against the convertible debentures. The Company will record further interest expense over the term of the Convertible Debentures of $10,000,000 resulting from the difference between the stated value and carrying value at the date of issuance. The carrying value of the convertible debentures will be accreted to the face value of $10,000,000 to maturity. To July 31, 2007, accrued interest of $1,165,068 (January 31, 2007 - $793,150) has been included in accrued liabilities, and accumulated accretion expense of $5,178,082 (January 31, 2007 - $3,525,114) increased the carrying value of the Convertible Debentures to $5,178,082 (January 31, 2007 - $3,525,114).

10. Common Stock (continued)

(e) On June 26, 2007, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock at a fair value of $108,500 for investor relation services rendered.

11. Stock Options

Effective August 5, 2005, the Company approved the 2005 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”) to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Plan, stock options vest 20% upon granting and 20% every six months. As at July 31, 2007, the Company had 220,000 stock options available for granting pursuant to the Plan. The Plan allows for the granting of stock options at a price of not less than fair value of the stock and for a term not to exceed five years. The total number of options granted to any person shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the six month periods ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 was $1.93 and $3.10, respectively. No stock options were exercised during the six month periods ended July 31, 2007 and 2006. During the six month period ended July 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded stock-based compensation of $988,447 and $1,331,825, respectively, as general and administrative expense.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity is as follows:

	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price $		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value $
Outstanding, January 31, 2007		1,630,000		3.31
Granted		150,000		2.19

Overview

Prior to May 2005, we were known as Peloton Resources Inc., a mining exploration company. Peloton was actively searching for ore bodies containing gold in British Columbia. A consultant was hired to assess the economic viability of exploring for and developing gold reserves on Peloton’s properties. Based upon his report, Peloton decided to abandon all mining activities and to commence shifting towards an oil and gas exploration company. In connection with the shift in operational focus, we changed our name to Triangle Petroleum Corporation.

The changeover from a mining to an oil and gas exploration company has taken place over the past two years, during one of the strongest markets for oil and natural gas. The average monthly price for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil and natural gas (Henry Hub Nymex), currently, as compared to the past, is as follows:

18

 

Although these strong commodity prices have resulted in extremely competitive conditions for the supply of products and services for exploration companies, our outlook remains positive. Despite these strong fundamentals, it should be noted that significant short term fluctuations in North American natural gas prices have occurred based upon seasonal weather patterns and gas storage levels. It should also be noted that actual prices received for oil and gas are typically less than the WTI and Henry Hub prices, respectively. This discount varies from time to time and is based on location, quality and other factors.

Plan of Operations

Since our inception, we have had the opportunity to screen various projects in a variety of geographic locations with numerous potential joint venture partners. The project areas outlined below were carefully selected based on our belief in balancing overall project risk against potential project returns and the anticipated time horizons required to achieve such returns. The three core project areas (Canadian Shale, Fayetteville Shale and Rocky Mountain Conventional Programs) represent distinctive exploration opportunities. In conjunction with our joint venture partners, we intend to execute our operating plan in order to realize the full value of the initial land base that has been established. The remaining two project areas (Barnett Shale and Western Canadian Programs) are currently designated as non-core due to existing market conditions related to land acquisition costs, drilling costs and completion costs.

Eastern Canada - Canadian Shale Gas Program

Over the last 18 months, a multi-disciplined geoscience team has screened prospective basins in Eastern Canada. The screening process includes an assessment of the geologic history for a given area, estimates of pressure and temperature profiles and a determination of the ability to fracture stimulate a prospective shale package.

As a direct result of implementing this strategy, we have executed a farm-in agreement with a Canadian company to pursue a shale gas opportunity in Eastern Canada. The project covers approximately 68,000 gross acres and we believe it to be located in a favorable geological setting based on technical work performed to date and drilling activity in the area. Additional laboratory measurements will be taken on core samples and drill cuttings, which are available from previously drilled conventional wells. We will be entitled to earn an average 70% working interest in the block subsequent to the acquisition and evaluation of a seismic program and then electing to drill a test well no later than December 31, 2008.

19

In addition, we have committed to another project located in the Windsor Area of Nova Scotia, Canada covering approximately 516,000 gross acres. Based on an extensive screening process and technical work performed to date, this area is also believed to be located in a highly favorable geological setting. Additional laboratory measurements have been taken on core samples and drill cuttings which are available from previously drilled conventional wells. We will be entitled to earn an average 70% working interest in the block subsequent to drilling a test well no later than September 15, 2008.

The first Nova Scotia test well has spudded in late August 2007. Our current Windsor Basin exploration program is estimated to cost approximately $8.2 million.

A drilling rig has been contracted and drilling has commenced on the first of two vertical wells in the Windsor Basin. Both wells are expected to be drilled to a depth of approximately 4,500 to 5,000 feet and drilling should be complete by early October. These wellsite locations were chosen based upon the geological work indicated above and the close proximity to a conventional well drilled in 1975. During the drilling of these two wells, we will perform extensive coring and logging.

In addition to the two vertical wells, we are planning to acquire a 25 square mile 3-D and a 30 mile 2-D seismic program in order to further define the Horton Shale over a select area of the land block. The seismic program is currently in the permitting and field logistics phase and is expected to be acquired this fall. Processing of the data is scheduled to occur over the winter months.

We will develop a hydraulic fracture stimulation program for the two wells once the analysis of the core samples, logs, and other tests have been completed. Completion and flow testing of both wells is anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year. The technical evaluation of the drilling, coring, seismic and completion programs will allow our exploration team to quantify the gas in place estimates. These results will then be reviewed and verified by independent industry experts by the end of our fiscal year.

Arkoma Basin Arkansas - Fayetteville Shale Program

We originally committed $16 million to a joint venture in the Fayetteville Shale of the Arkoma Basin with Kerogen Resources. We and Kerogen have equal 50% working interest positions in approximately 20,000 gross acres leased to date in Conway and Faulkner Counties. A measured pace of additional leasing is planned to complement the 2007 drilling program. As at July 31, 2007, we had advanced approximately $7.9 million to fund our share of land costs, $1.8 million for seismic and an additional $3.0 million to fund our share of costs related to the first vertical well.

The first vertical test well of the Fayetteville joint venture reached its targeted depth of 8,300 feet on April 4, 2007. Drill cuttings and other samples were taken from the well and sent in for further lab work and analysis. Concurrent with the first drilling operation, a new multi-component 3-D seismic survey had also commenced. The seismic survey was shot over approximately half of the 24 square mile target area and sent for processing in April 2007. Depending on the results of the seismic program, the vertical test well and leasing of additional acreage, we may initiate a horizontal drilling program.

States of Colorado, Montana and Wyoming - Rocky Mountain Program

We have embarked on a joint venture with Hunter Energy LLC of Denver, Colorado. We made an initial commitment to participate in the drilling of three projects. We have a 25% working interest in the three Hunter Energy projects. The project areas are geographically located in northwestern Colorado, southwestern Wyoming, and northern Montana. The gross acreage position in the three areas is approximately 77,000 acres. We have advanced approximately $3.5 million dollars in land, prospect fees and drilling costs relating to this project.

Although the initial test well in Colorado was not successful, plans for this project include working with area operators to continue the exploration program. Drilling on the Wyoming project is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of calendar 2007 and the Montana project is anticipated to commence in early to mid 2008 with consideration being given to service industry equipment availability and prevailing short-term winter weather conditions. It is anticipated that our share of costs to drill these two wells will be approximately $1.4 million.

20

Greater Fort Worth Basin Texas - Barnett Shale Program (non-core project)

We acquired a 30% working interest position in a five-county joint venture program with Kerogen. Approximately 13,000 gross acres have been leased. As of July 31, 2007, we have expended approximately $2.5 million in prospect fees, land costs and, geological and geophysical expenditures. In July 2007, we received proceeds of $984,000 from the sale of our working interest position in approximately 12,100 gross acres held by the joint venture group mentioned above. Our investment in this land position was approximately $1.9 million. The acreage sold was undeveloped land and not the area containing our active well positions.

During 2006, we participated in four lower working interest (approximately 6%) horizontal wells (one in Johnson County and three in Hill County). The four wells are currently producing at various rates. The operator of these wells has commenced voluntary bankruptcy proceedings. As a result, we have not received our monthly production revenue since January 2007, however the amounts owing to us have been set aside by the bankruptcy trustee in a separate bank account. In addition, we continue to receive monthly statements detailing our share of production revenue and related production royalties and operating expenses. We have spent approximately $1.1 million on drilling and completing these four wells.

In late 2006, we participated in four Barnett Shale gas wells with working interests ranging between 11% and 15%. We have commenced production from two of the first four horizontal wells (Hood County) and the other two wells (Parker County) have been drilled and are awaiting a pipeline tie-in prior to completion. We have spent approximately $1.8 million on these four wells to date.

Alberta Canada Deep Basin - Western Canadian Program (non-core project)

We originally licensed a 120 square mile seismic data set, at a cost of approximately $1.3 million, to assist in the generation of the most prospective drilling sites. To date, we have access to thirty-one sections of land (approximately 22,000 gross acres), which are in various stages of earning with a number of joint venture partners.

We have participated in drilling and/or completing eight Deep Basin wells at a total cost of approximately $8.5 million net to us. These eight wells were drilled as part of four different joint ventures with varying working interests.

We have commenced production from two of three wells drilled in the late 2006 in the Alberta Deep Basin. The first well located in the Kakwa Area has been tested at a facility restricted rate of 3.6 mmcfpd or 600 BOED (barrels of oil equivalent per day). We paid 20% of the well costs for an 18% interest before payout (and 12% after payout) in this well. Due to restricted plant capacity this well is not expected to commence full production until the fourth quarter of calendar 2007. The second well is located in the Wapiti Area and we have an approximate 35% working interest in this well. Subsequent to completion, the well was connected to a nearby pipeline and initial production rates ranged from 0.4 to 0.6 mmcfpd or 60 to 100 BOED. The third well was also drilled in the Wapiti Area and we have a 50% interest in this well that was testing the Cadomin and Falher zones. The Cadomin zone was completed but tested wet and the Falher zone tested gas but at rates that were uneconomic to tie-in this past winter season.

Of the remaining five wells drilled by us prior to this past winter, one of the wells drilled in late 2005 tested fresh water, with no natural gas present. Another well tested gas but at rates that that were uneconomic to warrant a pipeline tie-in based on today’s natural gas pricing environment. The final three wells were taken over by a new operator during mid 2006 and we are waiting for the new operator to propose a potential completion strategy for these wells.

For the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2007, we realized $144,297 and $240,941, respectively, in revenue from sales of natural gas and natural gas liquids, as compared to $nil for the comparable periods in 2006. This revenue was the result of production from six small working interest wells located in the Barnett Shale in Texas and two wells located in the Deep Basin of Alberta. Royalties and production expenses related to this revenue totaled $91,154 and $121,517 for the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2007, respectively, as compared to $nil for the comparable periods in 2006.

Depletion, Depreciation and Accretion (“DD&A”) and impairment

	Three Months Ended July 31,				Six Months Ended July 31,
	2007		2006		2007		2006
DD&A - oil and gas properties	$	135,721	$	-	$	211,189	$	-

Total per BOE	$	34.71	$	-	$	35.73	$	-

Due to the startup of production in the second half of fiscal 2007, depletion on the proven oil and gas properties was calculated and expensed at approximately $35/BOE. Also, a $2,946,000 non-cash impairment loss was booked against proved properties as a result of applying what is commonly called a “ceiling test” under rules prescribed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for exploration and development companies that use the “full cost” accounting method. These impairment charges relate to the Barnett Shale and Western Canadian programs and were mainly the result of low gas prices, higher costs to drill and complete the wells than anticipated and lower production and reserves than forecasted. Management now considers these assets as non-core.

Unproven property costs of $21,917,224 were excluded from costs subject to depletion in the current three and six month periods.

On July 18, 2007, we sold our 27% interest in 12,100 gross acres in northeast Hill County of Texas for gross proceeds of $983,902. We had incurred land and geological & geophysical costs of $1,929,305 related to this prospect which resulted in an impairment loss of $945,403 being recorded.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at July 31, 2007, we had working capital of $12,251,389. For the six months ended July 31, 2007, we had net cash outflow from operating activities of $1,344,843. Cash used in investing activities totaled $6,474,503 for the six months ended July 31, 2007, which was used to fund our share of costs relating to the first vertical well drilled in Fayetteville Shale Project in the Arkoma Basin, acquiring additional land and 3-D seismic in Fayetteville Shale Project, as well as the remaining capital commitments for the three Deep Basin gas wells drilled in Alberta during the winter of the prior year. Cash provided by financing activities totaled $19,308,006 for the six months ended July 31, 2007. On February 26, 2007, we sold an aggregate of 10,412,000 shares of our common stock to 24 accredited investors in a private placement transaction for aggregate proceeds of $20,824,000.

We expect significant capital expenditures during the next 12 months for seismic data acquisitions, land and drilling rights acquisitions, drilling programs, overhead and working capital purposes. We believe we have sufficient funds to conduct our operations for the balance of fiscal 2008. If additional financing is required, there can be no assurance that it will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

By adjusting our operations to the level of capitalization, we believe we have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits. However, if during that period or thereafter, we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations liquidity and financial condition.

We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to our brief history and historical operating losses, our operations have not been a source of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding.

We will still need additional investments in order to continue operations until we are able to achieve positive operating cash flow. Additional investments are being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.

To date, we have generated minimal revenues and have incurred operating losses in every quarter. Our registered independent auditors have stated in their report dated April 2, 2007, that we are an early exploration company, have not generated significant revenues from operations and has incurred significant losses since inception. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

June 14, 2005 Convertible Debenture Financing

On June 14, 2005, to obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with a single accredited investor pursuant to which the investor purchased an 8% convertible debenture with a principal amount of $1,000,000, and a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share until June 15, 2008. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, the investor had the right during the next 60 days, but not the obligation, to purchase up to $5,000,000 of additional convertible debentures and warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of common stock. The investor exercised the purchase right and invested the additional $5,000,000 on July 14, 2005, in exchange for an 8% convertible debenture with a principal amount of $5,000,000 and a warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share until June 15, 2008.

24

The convertible debenture was due and payable on June 10, 2007. On or prior to June 10, 2007, all of the convertible debentures were converted into shares of common stock at a rate of $1.00 per share, at the option of the holder. The investor has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert or exercise its warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.

December 8, 2005 Secured Convertible Debenture Financing

To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with YA Global Investments, L.P. (formerly, Cornell Capital Partners, L.P.), an accredited investor, on December 8, 2005 for the sale of $15,000,000 in secured convertible debentures. They provided us with an aggregate of $15,000,000 as follows:

· $5,000,000 was disbursed on December 8, 2005;

· $5,000,000 was disbursed on January 17, 2006; and

· $5,000,000 was disbursed on June 1, 2006.

As of September 7, 2007, $4,500,000 of the debenture had been converted into 2,369,072 shares of common stock and $10,500,000 remained outstanding.

The secured convertible debentures bear interest at 5%, mature three years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the selling stockholders' option, at the lower of (i) $5.00 or (ii) 90% of the average of the three lowest daily volume weighted average prices of our common stock, as quoted by Bloomberg, LP, of the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. Accordingly, there is in fact no limit on the number of shares into which the secured convertible debentures may be converted. As of September 7, 2007, the average of the three lowest intraday trading prices for our common stock during the preceding 10 trading days as quoted by Bloomberg, LP was $1.4367 and, therefore, the conversion price for the secured convertible notes was $1.29303. Based on this conversion price, the $10,500,000 in secured convertible debentures remaining outstanding, excluding interest, were convertible into 8,120,462 shares of our common stock. The sale of such a large number of shares of common stock could significantly deflate the market price of our common stock, which would have the further effect of requiring us to issue additional shares upon conversion of the secured convertible debentures. Depending on our stock price, the conversion of the secured convertible debentures could lead to the sale of potentially controlling amounts of shares of common stock.

The investor has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert the debentures and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.In addition, the investor is restricted from converting more than $1,500,000 in principle amount of the debenture in any thirty day period, with no more than $1,000,000 of such amount at the variable market conversion price.

We have the right, at our option, with three business days advance written notice, to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding under the secured convertible debentures prior to the maturity date provided that the closing bid price of our common stock, is less than $5.00 at the time of the redemption. In the event of a redemption, we are obligated to pay an amount equal to the principal amount being redeemed plus a 20% redemption premium, and accrued interest.

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 8, 2005, we granted the investor registration rights. We were obligated to use our best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective no later than June 30, 2006 and to insure that the registration statement remains in effect until all of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the secured convertible debentures have been sold. In the event of a default of our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, including if the registration statement is not declared effective by June 30, 2006, we are required pay to YA Global Investments, as liquidated damages, for each month that the registration statement has not been filed or declared effective, as the case may be, either a cash amount or shares of our common stock equal to 2% of the liquidated value of the secured convertible debentures. The registration statement was declared effective on May 25, 2006.

25

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 8, 2005, we and each of our subsidiaries executed security agreements in favor of the investor granting them a first priority security interest in all of our goods, inventory, contractual rights and general intangibles, receivables, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and intellectual property. The security agreements state that if an event of default occurs under the secured convertible debentures or security agreements, the investors have the right to take possession of the collateral, to operate our business using the collateral, and have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise to satisfy our obligations under these agreements.

December 28, 2005 Convertible Debenture and Warrants Financing

To obtain funding for our ongoing operations, we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with two accredited investors on December 28, 2005 for the sale of (i) $10,000,000 in convertible debentures and (ii) warrants to purchase 1,250,000 shares of our common stock. The two accredited investors, Bank Sal. Oppenheim Jr. & Cie., (Schweiz) AG and Centrum Bank each subscribed for 50% of the total offering.

The investors provided us with an aggregate of $10,000,000 as follows:

· $5,000,000 was disbursed on December 28, 2005; and

· $5,000,000 was disbursed on January 23, 2006.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements, we issued to each investor 625,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock on December 28, 2005 and January 23, 2006. As of September 7, 2007, $10,000,000 of the issued debentures were outstanding and none had been converted.

The convertible debentures bear interest at 7.5%, mature three years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into our common stock, at the selling stockholders' option, at a rate of $4.00 per share. The investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert its debentures or exercise its warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement dated December 28, 2005, we granted the investors registration rights. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, if we did not have the registration statement declared effective on or before May 27, 2006, we were obligated to pay liquidated damages in the amount of 1.0% for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such registration statement should have been filed for which no registration statement is filed or should have been declared effective. The registration statement was declared effective on May 25, 2006.

February 26, 2007 Private Placement

On February 26, 2007, we sold an aggregate of 10,412,000 shares of our common stock to 24 accredited investors in a private placement transaction for aggregate proceeds of $20,824,000. Pursuant to the terms of sale, we agreed to cause a resale registration statement covering the common stock to be filed no later than 30 days after the closing and declared effective no later than 120 days after the closing. If we fail to comply with the registration statement filing or effective date requirements, we will be required to pay the investors a fee equal to 1% of the aggregate amount invested by the purchasers per each 30 day period of delay, not to exceed 10%. We paid the placement agents of the offering a cash fee of 6.5% of the proceeds of the offering. The registration statement was declared effective on March 14, 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, asset retirement obligations, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Investment in Oil and Gas Properties

We utilize the full cost method to account for our investment in oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition and exploration of oil and gas reserves, including such costs as leasehold acquisition costs, interest costs relating to unproved properties, geological expenditures and direct internal costs are capitalized into the full cost pool. As of July 31, 2007, we had two countries with proven reserves. For our proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects including capitalized interest, if any, are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined. If the future exploration of unproved properties is determined uneconomical, the amounts of such properties are added to the capitalized cost to be amortized.

The capitalized costs included in the full cost pool are subject to a “ceiling test”, which limits such costs to the aggregate of the estimated present value, discounted at 10%, of the future net revenues from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions and the estimated value of unproven properties (adjusted for related income tax effects).

Long-lived Assets

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, we test long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We recognize a liability for future retirement obligations associated with our oil and gas properties. The estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation is based on the current cost escalated at an inflation rate and discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate. This liability is capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized over its useful life. The liability accretes until we settle the obligation.

27

Revenue Recognition

We recognize oil and gas revenue when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and if collectibility of the revenue is probable.

Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to February 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based awards under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” using the intrinsic value method of accounting. Effective February 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R “Share Based Payments”, using the modified prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost is recognized for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of February 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to February 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. Results for prior periods have not been restated.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our future reported financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our future reported financial position or results of operations.

28

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140", to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our future reported financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Commodity Price Risk

Because of our relatively low level of current oil and gas production, we are not exposed to a great degree of market risk relating to the pricing applicable to our oil and natural gas production. However, our ability to raise additional capital at attractive pricing, our future revenues from oil and gas operations, our future profitability and future rate of growth depend substantially upon the market prices of oil and natural gas, which fluctuate widely. We expect commodity price volatility to continue. We do not currently utilize hedging contracts to protect against commodity price risk. As our oil and gas production grows, we may manage our exposure to oil and natural gas price declines by entering into oil and natural gas price hedging arrangements to secure a price for a portion of our expected future oil and natural gas production.

Operating Cost Risk

We have experienced rising operating costs which impacts our cash flow from operating activities and profitability. We recognize that rising operating costs could continue and continued rising operating costs would negatively impact our oil and gas operations.

Interest Rate Risk

All of our debt has fixed interest rates, so consequently we are not exposed to cash flow or fair value risk from market interest rate changes on this debt.

Financial Instruments

The fair values of financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued interest on convertible debentures, accrued liabilities, and convertible debentures approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of convertible debentures are estimated to approximate their carrying values based on borrowing rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms.

Inflation and Changes in Prices

The general level of inflation affects our costs. Salaries and other general and administrative expenses are impacted by inflationary trends and the supply and demand of qualified professionals and professional services. Inflation and price fluctuations affect the costs associated with exploring for and producing oil and natural gas, which has a material impact on our financial performance.

30

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of July 31, 2007. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

31

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended January 31, 2007, other than to update certain financial information as of and for the three and/or six months ended July 31, 2007 regarding the following risk factors.

We Have a History Of Losses Which May Continue, Which May Negatively Impact Our Ability to Achieve Our Business Objectives.

We incurred net losses of $18,338,534 and $8,244,758 for the years ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the six months ended July 31, 2007, we incurred a net loss of $10,906,272. We cannot assure you that we can achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Our operations are subject to the risks and competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. There can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable. Revenues and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including whether we will be able to continue expansion of our revenue. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on us.

There Are a Large Number of Shares Underlying Our Convertible Debentures and Warrants That May be Available for Future Sale and the Sale of These Shares May Depress the Market Price of Our Common Stock.

As of September 7, 2007, we had 37,113,602 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, secured convertible debentures issued on December 8, 2005, January 17, 2006 and June 1, 2006 outstanding that may be converted into 8,620,902 shares of common stock based on current market prices, convertible debentures issued on December 28, 2005 and January 23, 2006 outstanding that may be converted into 2,500,000 shares of common stock, and outstanding warrants to purchase 6,000,000 shares of common stock. All of the shares, including all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible debentures and upon exercise of our warrants, may be sold without restriction. The sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The Continuously Adjustable Conversion Price Feature of Our Secured Convertible Debentures Could Require Us to Issue a Substantially Greater Number of Shares, Which Will Cause Dilution to Our Existing Stockholders. 

Our obligation to issue shares upon conversion of our secured convertible debentures issued to YA Global Investments on December 8, 2005, January 17, 2006 and June 1, 2006 is essentially limitless. The following is an example of the number of shares of our common stock that are issuable, upon conversion of our $10,500,000 remaining face amount of secured convertible debentures (excluding accrued interest), based on market prices 25%, 50% and 75% below the market price, as of September 7, 2007 of $1.60.

			With		Number		% of
% Below	Price Per		Discount		of Shares		Outstanding
Market	Share		at 10%		Issuable		Stock
25%	$	1.20	$	1.08		9,722,223		20.76	%
50%	$	0.80	$	0.72		14,583,334		28.21	%
75%	$	0.40	$	0.36		29,166,667		44.01	%

32

As illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our secured convertible debentures will increase if the market price of our stock declines, which will cause dilution to our existing stockholders.

If We Are Required for any Reason to Repay Our Outstanding Convertible Debentures, We Would Be Required to Deplete Our Working Capital, If Available, Or Raise Additional Funds. Our Failure to Repay the Convertible Debentures, If Required, Could Result in Legal Action Against Us, Which Could Require the Sale of Substantial Assets.

In December 2005, we entered into three securities purchase agreements for the sale of an aggregate of $25,000,000 principal amount of convertible debentures, secured and unsecured. The $15,000,000 in secured convertible debentures, of which $10,500,000 remained outstanding as of September 7, 2007, are due and payable, with 5% interest, three years from the date of issuance, unless sooner converted into shares of our common stock. Additionally, the $10,000,000 in convertible debentures, which all remained outstanding as of September 7, 2007, are due and payable, with 7.5% interest, three years from the date of issuance, unless sooner converted into shares of our common stock. In addition, any event of default such as our failure to repay the principal or interest when due, our failure to issue shares of common stock upon conversion by the holder, our failure to timely file a registration statement or have such registration statement declared effective, breach of any covenant, representation or warranty in the Securities Purchase Agreements or related convertible debentures, the assignment or appointment of a receiver to control a substantial part of our property or business, the filing of a money judgment, writ or similar process against our company in excess of $50,000, the commencement of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceeding against our company and the delisting of our common stock could require the early repayment of the convertible debentures, secured and unsecured, including default interest rate on the outstanding principal balance of the debentures if the default is not cured with the specified grace period. We anticipate that the full amount of the convertible debentures, secured and unsecured, will be converted into shares of our common stock, in accordance with the terms of the convertible debentures. If we were required to repay the convertible debentures, secured and unsecured, we would be required to use our limited working capital and raise additional funds. If we were unable to repay the debentures when required, the debenture holders could commence legal action against us and foreclose on all of our assets to recover the amounts due. Any such action would require us to curtail or cease operations.
