NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 and July 31, 2007
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)
Note 1
Nature and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Unbridled Energy Corporation (“the Company”) is engaged in the exploration for and the development of petroleum and natural gas in Canada and the United States.
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on October 6, 2003. On July 19, 2006, the Company changed its name to Unbridled Energy Corporation. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis as at and for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2008, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $14,289,108 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dep endent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

The facility provides for a borrowing base up to USD$6,000,000, as determined from time to time by the lender based on the Company’s oil and gas reserves. At June 30, 2008, the available borrowing base was $4,163,460 (USD$4,200,000) and the Company has drawn $3,857,015 (USD$3,782,500) from the facility.
The loan bears interest of LIBOR plus 250 basis points (4.97125% as at June 30, 2008) and is repayable on November 16, 2009. The loan is secured by the Company’s reserves in Chautauqua County, New York, USA. The Company is required to make monthly interest payments. In the event that the loan balance exceeds the available borrowing base, the Company is required to reduce the loan balance by repaying the excess portion.
The loan includes certain non-financial and financial covenants, including but not limited to a requirement to maintain a minimum adjusted EBITDA to adjusted current liability ratio of 1.25:1.00, commencing six months after the Company begins selling gas from the Chambers 3-17 and Chamber 16-21 wells.

Amounts Receivable
During the period ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s major joint venture partner in the Chambers prospect failed to perform financially with regard to their obligations under signed authorizations for expenditures totalling $2,194,986. The Company is now exercising its rights under the Canadian Association of Petroleum Landmen Operating Procedure agreement to recover this amount, including setting off Altima’s share of income from the Chambers 3-17 well and initiating a legal action to sell Altima’s interest in the prospect to reduce the receivable.
Given the uncertainty regarding the collectibility of the accounts receivable, the Company has recorded $1,150,000 as petroleum and natural gas costs during the period ended December 31, 2007 to reflect additional costs which the Company has borne on drilling this well. Any recovery will be recorded as a reduction of the petroleum and natural gas properties in the period that it occurs. At June 30, 2008, $744,986 is included in amounts receivable due from Altima. The total receivable from the joint venture partner at June 30, 2008 is approximately $2.0 million.
Note 13
Financial Instruments
a)
Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, funds held in trust, reclamation deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, bank loan and note payable. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there are no significant differences between the carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet and their estimated fair values.
b)
Credit Risk
Substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at chartered banks and as such the Company is exposed to the risks of the institutions.
The majority of the amounts receivable is in respect of oil and natural gas operations. The Company generally extends unsecured credit to these customers and, therefore, the collection of accounts receivable may be affected by changes in economic or other conditions and may, accordingly, impact the Company’s overall credit risk. Management believes the risk is mitigated by the size and reputation of the companies to which they extend credit. The Company has not experienced any material credit loss in the collection of receivables in the past other than with Altima which has been allowed for (Note 12).

c)
Commodity Price Risk
The Company’s operations are exposed to commodity price fluctuations. Management monitors commodity prices and initiates instruments to manage exposure to these risks when it deems appropriate through the use of financial derivative sales contracts. The Company’s contracts in place at June 30, 2008 are as follows:
ContractType | Volume (GJ/d) | Pricing Point | Price ($Cdn/GJ) | Term |
Fixed price | 6000 | $8.27 | Jul 08 – Feb 10 |
As at June 30, 2008 the unrealized loss on the commodity hedge was $211,131.
d)
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the rate of exchange in respect of its US operations. A portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and bank loan are denominated in US dollars and, consequently, the Company is subject to the risk of fluctuating foreign exchange rates.
