LODGE BAY OIL & GAS CORP.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2007
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Lodge Bay Oil & Gas Corp. (the “Company”) is an exploration stage company that was organized to enter into the oil and gas industry. The Company intends to locate, explore, acquire and develop oil and gas properties in Canada and the United States.
During fiscal 2005, the Company entered into a Farm Out Agreement with Odin Capital Inc. to acquire a 2% working interest in the Leduc formation test well. If the testing is successful the Company will share in the revenue produced by this well. If testing does not go as planned, and according to geological analysis, the Company will seek to acquire other prospective lands thought to bear oil or gas targets.
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $44,289 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement of its common stock. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue.
Unaudited interim financial statements
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation S-B. They may not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the period ended October 31, 2006 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form 10KSB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal and recurring adjustments have been made. Operating results for the three months ended January 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 2007.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The Company was incorporated on November 22, 2004 in the State of Nevada. The Company’s fiscal year end is October 31.
Basis of presentation
These financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Oil and gas properties
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas operations whereby all costs related to the acquisition of methane, petroleum, and natural gas interests are capitalized. Under this method, all productive and non-productive costs incurred in connection with the exploration for and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include land and lease acquisition costs, annual carrying charges of non-producing properties, geological and geophysical costs, costs of drilling and equipping productive and non-productive wells, and direct exploration salaries and related benefits. Proceeds from the disposal of oil and gas properties are recorded as a reduction of the related capitalized costs without recognition of a gain or loss unless the disposal would result in a change of 20 percent or more in the depletion rate.
Depletion of proved oil and gas properties is computed on the units-of-production method based upon estimates of proved reserves, as determined by independent consultants, with oil and gas being converted to a common unit of measure based on their relative energy content.
The costs of acquisition and exploration of unproved oil and gas properties, including any related capitalized interest expense, are not subject to depletion, but are assessed for impairment either individually or on an aggregated basis. The costs of certain unevaluated leasehold acreage are also not subject to depletion. Costs not subject to depletion are periodically assessed for possible impairment or reductions in value. If a reduction in value has occurred, costs subject to depletion are increased or a charge is made against earnings for those operations where a reserve base is not yet established.
Estimated future removal and site restoration costs are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. The charge is included in the provision for depletion and depreciation and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.
The Company applies a ceiling test to capitalized costs which limits such costs to the aggregate of the estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate of the estimated future net revenues from production of proven reserves at year end at market prices less future production, administrative, financing, site restoration, and income tax costs plus the lower of cost or estimated market value of unproved properties. If capitalized costs are determined to exceed estimated future net revenues, a write-down of carrying value is charged to depletion in the period.
Asset retirement obligations
The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 requires the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related oil and gas properties. As of January 31, 2007 management has determined that there are no material asset retirement obligations.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Financial instruments
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities (cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to related party) approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments, except for the amount due to related party which is valued at the exchange amount as the fair value cannot be reliably measured.
Loss per common share
Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, basic loss per share is equal to dilutive loss per share.
Income taxes
In accordance with SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” the Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment. As at January 31, 2007 the Company had net operating loss carry forwards, however, due to the uncertainty of realization, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets resulting from these losses carry forwards.
Stock-based compensation
The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. Accordingly no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency is the United States Dollars. In accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-looking Statements
This report may contain "forward-looking" statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (a) projections of our revenues, capital expenditures, growth, prospects, dividends, capital structure and other financial matters; (b) statements of our plans and objectives; (c) statements of our future economic performance; (d) statements of assumptions underlying other statements and statements about us and our business relating to the future; and (e) any statements using the words "anticipate," "expect," "may," "project," "intend" or similar expressions.
This section must be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Plan of Operation
Lodge Bay Oil & Gas Corp., a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on November 22, 2004. The Company is engaged in the exploration, development, acquisition and operation of oil and gas properties. Because these activities are capital intensive and because the assets and financial resources of the Company are limited, we are conducting our business by purchasing small interests in oil and gas exploration and production ventures. Currently we are involved in one such project located in Alberta, Canada.
Pursuant to an agreement with Odin Capital Inc. dated September 23, 2005, we paid for a 2% share of the costs of drilling a test well into the Strachan Leduc reef formation located in Alberta, Canada. This well was expected to reach a depth of 4,050 meters and the anticipated costs were $6,349,426 CDN in total. The drilling was complete and casing finished on March 19, 2006 and total costs to January 31, 2007 are in excess of $10,000,000 CDN. Our share of this amount is $202,603 (224,889 CDN). The test well went over budget due to difficulties during drilling. Furthermore, the operator did not proceed with test flowing previously because of technical difficulties encountered in the well and mixed opinions from the geologists involved in the well. We have now received notification from the operator that flow testing will begin before March 15, 2007 following which, it will be determined if the well has enough reserves for paying quantities. Earning is now effective on the well and the spacing uni t containing rights in four sections of land. We now have the option to participate on any future operations through the Farmor, Odin Capital Inc.
For the three months ending January 31, 2007 the Company had no revenue, as was the case for the three months ending January 31, 2006.
Our net cash used by operating activities for the three months ended January 31, 2007 was $8,593 compared with $7,574 for the three months ended January 31, 2006. Our management believes that to continue to conduct our business beyond the next financial quarter and to acquire additional interests in oil and gas projects, we will need additional funding from:
- the offer and sale of our capital stock;
- loans in addition to the $180,602 already borrowed from the Company’s president, Mr. Barry Swanson;
- revenues from our working interests, if they ever materialize.
Funding from any or all of these sources will have to be sufficient to pay our day to day operational needs and then, in addition, supply necessary funds for acquisitions. There is no guarantee that required funds will be available to us for these purposes. The Company may participate in an additional Farmout agreement with Odin Capital in the next 12 months and additional funds would need to be raised through one of the methods listed above. Furthermore, the Company is researching and evaluating other business opportunities in North America.
The Company does not expect to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment, nor increase our number of employees (currently the Company has no employees), during the next 12 months.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosures and procedures are effective. Also, based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls.
The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that there were not significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. There were no control actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. There has been no material change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter for which this report is filed that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
