NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1

Nature of Operations and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 27, 2004, and is in the development stage. On November 8, 2004, the Company entered into a License Agreement to manufacture, market and distribute an arthritic pain reliever under the name ‘Arthrospray’. The business was abandoned during the year ended May 31, 2008. The Company’s current business is the acquisition and exploration of oil and gas properties in North and South America.

On September 18, 2007, the directors of the Company approved of a plan of merger effective September 28, 2007 between the Company and Pantera Petroleum Inc. (“Pantera”), a company incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 18, 2007. Upon completion of the merger, the Company changed its name to Pantera Petroleum Inc. and Pantera’s existence ceased. The purpose of the merger was to facilitate a name change to Pantera Petroleum Inc. to better reflect the direction and business of the Company.

Interim Financial Statements

These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2008, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements included herein as of August 31, 2008, and for the three month periods ended August 31, 2008 and 2007, are unaudited, and in the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all material adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and of the results for the interim periods presented. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended May 31, 2008, as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K, have been omitted. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 the next twelve months. 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 August 31, 2008, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $1,784,499 since its inception, does not have adequate cash to fund its operations 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 dependent 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. Management plans to continue to provide for its capital needs during the year ending May 31, 2009, by issuing equity securities, however there is no assurance of additional equity funding being available.

On November 21, 2007 and amended on March 17, 2008, July 30, 2008 and September 9, 2008 the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Artemis Energy PLC (formerly Pantera Oil and Gas PLC) (“Artemis”), whereby the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (valued at a nominal amount of $4,000) to Artemis and paid $50,000 in consideration for the right to acquire up to 85% of the shares of each of Aurora Petroleos SA (“Aurora”) and Boreal Petroleos SA (“Boreal”).

	i)	Aurora and Boreal, in consideration for cash advances totaling $620,000 and the payment of $50,000 as the partial consideration for the right to acquire up to 85% of the shares of Aurora and Boreal, will each issue a five year note bearing interest at 5% for $335,000 and for any additional amounts paid under this agreement. If after the date of this agreement, there occurs a sale, consolidation, amalgamation or merger or the transfer of assets to another entity of Aurora or Boreal which results in either company receiving cash proceeds, then that company will repay each of the Company and Artemis equal payments until the Company and Artemis each receive $221,126 plus accumulated interest, in the case of Aurora and $193,041 plus accumulated interest, in the case of Boreal. Once $221,126 plus accumulated interest, in the case of Aurora, or $193,041 plus accumulated interest, in the case of Boreal, is repaid, then Aurora or Boreal will repay any further amounts that the Company has advanced under these notes.

	ii)	2,600,000 of the 4,000,000 common shares issued by the Company as partial consideration for the right to acquire up to 85% of the shares of Aurora and Boreal will be returned to the Company and cancelled (subsequently cancelled on September 24, 2008).

	iii)	On October 13, 2008, Artemis issued to the Company options to enable the Company to purchase 27% of the outstanding shares of Aurora and 30% of the outstanding shares of Boreal. The options have a cumulative exercise price of £10 and a term of 30 years commencing on October 13, 2008. The options may only be exercised if the fair value of 27% or 30% of the equity of Aurora and Boreal, respectively, is greater than the debt held by the Company.

On completion of both the Aurora and Boreal Investment Four, the Company will issue to Artemis share purchase warrants to purchase 1,400,000 common shares of the Company at $0.27 per share, exercisable for a period of five years.

In the event that the Company makes less than the required investment amount to complete any of Aurora or Boreal Investments Three or Four, the Company shall be entitled to receive an option to purchase a portion of the additional percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of Aurora or Boreal pro rata based on the percentage of the amount paid as compared to the total required to be paid.

Corporate History

We were incorporated on October 27, 2004, in the State of Nevada. Our principal offices are located at 111 Congress Avenue, Suite 400, Austin, TX 78701.

Effective September 28, 2007, we completed a merger with our subsidiary, Pantera Petroleum Inc., a Nevada corporation. As a result, we changed our name from “Arthro Pharmaceuticals, Inc.” to “Pantera Petroleum Inc.” We changed the name of our company to better reflect the direction and business of our company.

In addition, effective September 28, 2007, we effected a sixteen (16) for one (1) forward stock split of our authorized, issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 1,200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. The name change and forward stock split became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on September 28, 2007 under the new stock symbol “PTPE”. Our new CUSIP number is 69866L 101.

Our Current Business

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition of prospective oil and gas properties. Following the change in our business, we conducted due diligence on potential acquisitions of suitable oil and gas properties. As a result of the due diligence period, on November 21, 2007, we entered into a share purchase agreement, as amended March 17, 2008 and July 30, 2008, among our company, Artemis Energy PLC (formerly Pantera Oil and Gas PLC), Aurora Petroleos SA and Boreal Petroleos SA, whereby we agreed to: (i) issue 4,000,000 shares of our common stock to Pantera Oil and Gas; and (ii) pay $25,000 to each of Aurora and Boreal, for an aggregate payment of $50,000, as consideration for the right to purchase up to 85% of the shares of each of Aurora and Boreal as follows:

on or before November 30, 2007, we have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of each of Aurora and Boreal for an aggregate payment of $150,000

	to Aurora and Boreal (as to $75,000 to each of Aurora and Boreal) (“Investment One”), which was paid in full on November 30, 2007;

2.	on or before July 31, 2008, and subject to the completion of Investment One, Pantera shall have the right, but not the obligation, to:

	(i)	acquire an additional 12% of the issued and outstanding shares of Aurora for a payment of $225,000 by Pantera to Aurora, or as Aurora may direct (“Aurora Investment Two”), and

	(ii)	acquire an additional 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of Boreal for a payment of $225,000 by Pantera to Boreal, or as Boreal may direct (“Boreal Investment Two”);

3.	on or before April 30, 2009 and subject to the completion of:

	(i)	Investment One and Aurora Investment Two, Pantera shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire an additional 38% of the issued and outstanding shares of Aurora for a payment of $500,000 by Pantera to Aurora, or as Aurora may direct (“Aurora Investment Three”), and

	(ii)	Investment One and Boreal Investment Two, Pantera shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire an additional 35% of the issued and outstanding shares of Boreal for a payment of $500,000 by Pantera to Boreal, or as Boreal may direct (“Boreal Investment Three”); and

4.	on or before January 31, 2010 and subject to the completion of:

	(i)	Investment One, Aurora Investment Two and Aurora Investment Three, Pantera shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire an additional 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of Aurora for a payment of $1,500,000 by Pantera to Aurora, or as Aurora may direct, and

Each of Aurora and Boreal agreed to use all funds that they respectively receive from our company in connection with the share purchase agreement exclusively towards the exploration and development of the concessions held by each of Aurora and Boreal.

Aurora and Boreal have also agreed that we will have the right to nominate one or more directors to the board of directors of each of Aurora and Boreal as follows:

	1.	upon execution of the share purchase agreement, we have the right to nominate one director to the board of directors of each of Aurora and Boreal, provided that such boards of directors will consist of no more than four directors;

	2.	upon completion of Investment One, Aurora Investment Two and Boreal Investment Two, as set forth above, we will have the right to nominate two directors to the board of directors of each of Aurora and Boreal, provided that such boards of directors will consist of no more than four directors; and

	3.	upon completion of Investment One, Aurora Investment Two, Boreal Investment Two, Aurora Investment Three and Boreal Investment Three, as set forth above, we will have the right to nominate the majority of the directors to the board of directors of each of Aurora and Boreal,

provided that Artemis Energy PLC (formerly Pantera Oil and Gas PLC) will have the right to nominate two directors to the board of directors each of Aurora and Boreal.

To more effectively align the interests of our company with Artemis, Aurora and Boreal, and to provide for a potentially more efficient accounting and tax treatment for our company, Artemis, Aurora and Boreal under their respective tax and accounting regimes, the parties entered negotiations and further revised the share purchase agreement. As a result of these negotiations, on September 9, 2008, we entered into an amended and restated share purchase agreement with Artemis Energy PLC (formerly Pantera Oil and Gas PLC), Aurora Petroleos SA and Boreal Petroleos SA. The amended agreement amends and restates the share purchase agreement dated November 21, 2007, as amended March 17, 2008 and July 30, 2008, such that the share purchase agreement, as amended, is replaced in its entirety by the amended agreement. Pursuant to the amended agreement, the parties agreed as follows:

(a)	Aurora acknowledged and agreed to:

	(i)	the indebtedness owed to our company in the amount of $335,000 and to issue a five year note bearing 5% simple interest, in a form to be mutually agreed upon by Aurora and our company;

	(ii)	issue a five year note bearing 5% simple interest, in a form to be mutually agreed upon by Aurora and our company, to our company in an amount equal to any future payments made by our company to Aurora pursuant to the amended agreement; and

	(iii)	the terms of repayment of any outstanding amounts to our company;

(b)	Boreal acknowledged and agreed to:

	(i)	the indebtedness owed to our company in the amount of $335,000 and to issue a five year note bearing 5% simple interest, in a form to be mutually agreed upon by Boreal and our company;

	(ii)	issue a five year note bearing 5% simple interest, in a form to be mutually agreed upon by Boreal and our company, to our company in an amount equal to any future payments made by our company to Boreal pursuant to the amended agreement; and

	(iii)	the terms of repayment of any outstanding amounts to our company;

(c)	Artemis agreed to:

	(i)	cancel 2,600,000 common shares of the 4,000,000 common shares of our company issued to Artemis on November 21, 2007;

	(ii)	issue warrants, or options, or other instrument in accordance with applicable securities laws, to our company to purchase:

		A.	27% of the issued and outstanding shares of Aurora for amounts previously paid to Aurora;

		B.	30% of the issued and outstanding shares of Boreal for amounts previously paid to Boreal;

		C.	up to an additional 58% of the shares of Aurora for future payments in the aggregate amount of $2,000,000 made by our company to Aurora in accordance with the terms of the amended agreement; and

up to an additional 55% of the shares of Boreal for future payments in the aggregate amount of $2,000,000 to be made by our company to Boreal in accordance with the terms of the amended agreement; and

(d)

We agreed to issue a share purchase warrant entitling Artemis to purchase up to 2,600,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.27 per share, with the other terms and conditions of the warrants to be mutually agreed upon by Artemis and our company.

In addition, each of Aurora and Boreal agreed to use all funds that they respectively receive from our company in connection with the amended agreement exclusively towards the exploration and development of the concessions held by each of Aurora and Boreal. Each of Aurora and Boreal have agreed to (i) consult and work together with our company to plan and execute any exploration and development activities either of them conduct; (ii) provide our company with annualized budgets with monthly cost projections; and (iii) not incur costs in excess of $5,000 for any transactions without the prior written consent of either our company or Artemis.

Please review the amended agreement attached as Exhibit 10.9 to our annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 15, 2008, for a complete description of all of the terms and conditions of the amended agreement.

Aurora has acquired the rights to concessions in northern Paraguay consisting of three tracts: Tagua, Toro, and Cerro Cabrera. They are located in the eastern extensions of the Chaco Basin, where, in Bolivia and Argentina significant reserves of natural gas, oil and condensate have been discovered. The Chaco Basin extends across Paraguay, Bolivia and Argentina, and in Paraguay,the Chaco Basin is composed of two Sub-Basins, the Curupayty and Carandayty Sub-Basins. The sources for most of the known hydrocarbons in the Chaco Basin are the Devonian Los Monos and Silurian Kirusillas shales. Both are mixed oil and gas prone source rocks. The amalgamated fans and channel sandstones of the Carboniferous Tarija and Tupambi formations are the main producing reservoirs in the Chaco Basin. The Tagua tract, approximately 116 square miles in area, is located in the Carandayty Sub-Basin on the border with Bolivia. The Curupayty Sub-Basin is located along the southern margin of the Chaco Basin. The Toro tract, approximately 927 square miles in area, is located in the Curupayty Sub-Basin in north central Paraguay. The Cerro Cabrera Block, approximately 1,996 square miles in area, is located in northern Paraguay on the Bolivian border. Aurora entered into a Concession Contract with the government of Paraguay on March 2, 2007. This Concession Contract is assigned Law Number 3,551, dated July 16, 2008, having been duly ratified by the Congress of Paraguay and signed by President Nicanor Duarte Frutos.

Boreal has acquired the rights to concessions in northern Paraguay consisting of two tracts: Pantera and Bahia Negra. They are also located in the eastern extensions of the Chaco Basin. The Pantera tract, approximately 1,158 square miles in area, is located in the Curupayty Sub-Basin on the border with Bolivia. The Bahia Negra tract, approximately 1,853 square miles in area, is located at the southern end of the Curupayty Sub-Basin in north central Paraguay. Boreal entered into a Concession Contract with the government of Paraguay on March 2, 2007. This Concession Contract is assigned Law Number 3,478, dated May 13, 2008, having been duly ratified by the Congress of Paraguay and signed by President Nicanor Duarte Frutos.

In addition, on February 24, 2008, we purchased a 10% interest in a joint venture formed pursuant to a joint venture agreement, with Trius Energy, LLC, as the managing venturer, and certain other joint venturers, in consideration for $800,000. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, our company and the other joint venturers agreed, among other things, (a) to form a joint venture for the limited purpose of (i) securing, re-entering, reopening, managing, cultivating, drilling and operating the Gulf-Baker 83 #1 Well, the Sibley 84 #1 Well and the Sibley 84 #2 Well located in West Gomez oil and gas fields in Pecos County, Texas, (ii) such other business agreed to by the joint venturers, and (iii) all such actions incidental to the foregoing as the joint venturers determine; (b) that the joint venturers shall have equal rights to manage and control the joint venture and its affairs and business, and that the joint venturers designate Trius Energy, LLC, as the managing venturer and delegate to the managing venturer the day-to-day management of the joint venture; (c) that distributions from and contributions to the joint venture shall be made in a prescribed manner; and (d) that all property acquired by the joint venture shall be owned by the joint venture, in the name of the joint venture, and beneficially owned by the joint venturers in the percentages of each joint venturer from time to time. On April 1, 2008, the joint venture began re-entry operations on the Sibley 84 #1 Well.

On August 11, 2008, we entered into a letter agreement with Lakehills Production, Inc., whereby we agreed to purchase from Lakehills Production certain of its interests in the Baker 80 Lease located in Pecos County, Texas, in consideration for $726,000 to be paid according to the following schedule:

	(a)	$150,000 on or before August 11, 2008 for a 15.66% working interest (paid August 11, 2008);

	(b)	$200,000 on or before August 20, 2008 for an additional 27.55% working interest (paid August 19, 2008);

	(c)	$376,000 on or before October 31, 2008 for an additional 51.79% working interest.

In the event that we make less than the full amount of any of the payments required to earn the allotted working interest, we will be entitled to receive a percentage of such working interest.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

For the three month periods ended August 31, 2008 and August 31, 2007

Our revenues were $436 for the three month period ended August 31, 2008 as compared to $nil for the three month period ended August 31, 2007. Our increase in revenue was attributed entirely from the sale of natural gas. Our expenses were $191,620 for the three month period ended August 31, 2008 as compared to $19,710 for the three month period ended August 31 ,2007.

Our expenses consisted of $25,418 in consulting fees and $166,202 in general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended August 31, 2008. Our expenses consisted of $18,943 in general and administrative expenses and $767 in write-down of equipment for the three month period ended August 31, 2007. The increase in our expenses for the three month period ended August 31, 2008 was primarily attributable to our increased activity in our operating activities, including locating and assessing prospective oil and gas properties for acquisition.

Our interim consolidated financial statements report a net loss of $192,556 for the three month period ended August 31, 2008 as compared to a net loss of $19,710 for the three month period ended August 31, 2007. Our accumulated net losses for the period from October 27,2004, our date of inception, to August 31, 2008 was $1,784,499.

Cash Flow Used in Operating Activities

Operating activities used cash of $109,396 for the three month period ended August 31, 2008, compared to using $934 for the three month period ended August 31, 2007. The increase in cash used during the three month period ended August 31, 2008 was primarily attributable to an increase in our net loss and increases in our non-cash working capital balances related to operations, including prepaid expenses and deposit and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Cash Flow Used in Investing Activities

Investing activities used cash of $492,803 for the three month period ended August 31, 2008 compared to using $nil for the three month period ended August 31, 2007. The cash used in investing activities was a result of investments and acquisitions of oil and gas interests.

Cash Flow Provided by Financing Activities

Financing activities generated cash of $550,000 for the three month period ended August 31, 2008 compared to generating $nil for the three month period ended August 31, 2007. The cash generated from financing activities was a result of issuances of common stock and proceeds from loan.

Liquidity And Capital Resources

As at August 31, 2008, our total assets were $1,998,988 and our total liabilities were $336,574. We had cash of $115,935, current assets of $182,040 and current liabilities of $59,754 as at August 31, 2008. We had working capital of $122,286 as at August 31, 2008.

To date, we have had negative cash flows from operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements. We expect this situation to continue for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will have negative cash flows during the next twelve month period ended August 31, 2009.

We estimate that our general operating expenses for the next twelve month period to include $2,800,000 for exploration expenses and $380,000 for professional fees and general and administrative expenses for a total estimated funding of $3,180,000. Estimated operating expenses include provisions for consulting fees, salaries, travel, telephone, office rent, and on-going legal, accounting, and audit expenses to comply with our reporting responsibilities as a public company under the United States Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy in exploration operations. To date, we have had negative cash flows from operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements. We expect this situation to continue for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will have negative cash flows during the next twelve month period. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.

We incurred a net loss of $192,556 for the three month period ended August 31, 2008. As indicated above, we anticipate that our projected operating expenses for the next twelve months will be $3,180,000. We will be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or through debt financing in order to carry-out our plan of operations for the next twelve month period. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the required capital or that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates.

Given that we have not generated significant revenues to date, our cash requirements are subject to numerous contingencies and risk factors beyond our control, including operation and acquisition risks, competition from well-funded competitors, and our ability to manage growth. We can offer no assurance that our company will generate cash flow sufficient to achieve profitable operations or that our expenses will not exceed our projections. If our expenses exceed estimates, we will require additional monies during the next twelve months to execute our business plan.

There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain funds required for our continued operation. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.

Going Concern

Due to our being an exploration stage company and not having generated revenues, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2008, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have historically incurred losses, and through August 31, 2008 have incurred losses of $1,784,499 since our inception. Because of these historical losses, we will require additional working capital to develop our business operations. We intend to raise additional working capital through private placements, public offerings, bank financing and/or advances from related parties or shareholder loans.

The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing and achieving a break even or profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current or future stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If adequate working capital is not available we may not increase our operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures of our company. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions that our company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from such estimates.

Development Stage Company

We are a development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 7.

Foreign Currency Translation

Our functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing when the assets were acquired or the liabilities assumed. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rate of exchange for the period. All exchange gains and losses on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the period.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

We report basic loss per share in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of common stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options and warrants). Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon our net income (loss) position at the calculation date. Diluted loss per share has not been provided as it would be antidilutive.

Equipment

Equipment, which consists of computer equipment, is recorded at cost. We provide for depreciation using a 30% declining balance annual rate. All equipment was written off during the year ended May 31, 2008, as it was no longer being used by our company.

Investments

Investments in companies and joint ventures where no significant influence exists are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The investments are assessed for impairment when it appears the amount may not be recovered.

Oil and Gas Properties

We follow the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas operations whereby all costs of exploring for and developing oil and gas reserves are initially capitalized on a country-by-country (cost centre) basis. Such costs include land acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenses, carrying charges on non-producing properties, costs of drilling and overhead charges directly related to acquisition and exploration activities.

Costs capitalized, together with the costs of production equipment, will be depleted and amortized on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated gross proved reserves. Petroleum products and reserves are converted to a common unit of measure, using 6 MCF of natural gas to one barrel of oil.

Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproved properties are initially excluded from depletion calculations. These unevaluated properties are assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. When proved reserves are assigned or the property is considered to be impaired, the cost of the property or the amount of the impairment is added to costs subject to depletion calculations.

If capitalized costs, less related accumulated amortization and deferred income taxes, exceed the “full cost ceiling” the excess is expensed in the period when such excess occurs. The “full cost ceiling” is determined based on the present value of estimated future net revenues attributed to proved reserves, using current prices less estimated future expenditures plus the lower of cost and fair value of unproven properties within the cost centre.

Future net cash flows from proved reserves using period-end, non-escalated prices and costs are discounted to present value and compared to the carrying value of oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from a sale of petroleum and natural gas properties are applied against capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would alter the rate of depletion by more than 25%. Royalties paid net of any tax credits received are netted with oil and gas sales.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We recognize the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the year in which it is incurred when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The carrying amount of the related long-lived asset is increased by the same amount as the liability.

Changes in the liability for an asset retirement obligation due to the passage of time will be measured by applying an interest method of allocation. The amount will be recognized as an increase in the liability and an accretion expense in the statement of operations. Changes resulting from revisions to the timing or the amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows are recognized as an increase or a decrease in the carrying amount of the liability for an asset retirement obligation and the related asset retirement cost capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. At May 31, 2008, our company had no asset retirement obligations as we recently entered into a new development stage.

Environmental Costs

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or our company’s commitments to a plan of action based on the then known facts.

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of our financial instruments consisting of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Loan payable is carried at cost plus accrued interest and the carrying value is equal to the fair value. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that our company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The Statement defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure related to the use of fair value measures in financial statements. The Statement is to be particularly effective for our financial statements issued for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the impact that adoption might have on its financial position or results of operations.

On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The Statement establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for our financial statements issued for the fiscal year beginning June 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 might have on its financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. The standard requires all entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests as equity in consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 eliminates the diversity that currently exists in accounting for transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. We are currently reviewing the guidance, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, to determine the potential impact, if any, on our financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not Applicable.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, being August 31, 2008, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our President and Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

RISK FACTORS

Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements. Such forward looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We have had negative cash flows from operations.

To date we have had negative cash flows from operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements and have incurred losses totaling $192,556 for the three month period ending August 31, 2008. As of August 31, 2008, we had working capital of $122,286. We do not expect positive cash flow from operations in the near term. There is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. In particular, additional capital may be required in the event that:

drilling and completion costs increase beyond our expectations; or
we encounter greater costs associated with general and administrative expenses or offering costs.

The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could adversely affect our ability to meet our business plans.

We will depend almost exclusively on outside capital to pay for the continued exploration and development of our properties. Such outside capital may include the sale of additional stock and/or commercial borrowing. Capital may not continue to be available if necessary to meet these continuing development costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to us. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations of our business, the result of which would be that our stockholders would lose some or all of their investment.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because our operations have been primarily financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our continued operations. Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and would have a significant negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our ability to continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.

We have a history of losses and fluctuating operating results.

From inception through to August 31, 2008, we have incurred aggregate losses of $1,784,499. Our net loss for the three month period ended August 31, 2008 was $192,556. There is no assurance that we will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future. In addition, our operating results in the future may be subject to significant fluctuations due to many factors not within our control, such as the general economic cycle, the market price of oil and gas and exploration and development costs. If we cannot generate positive cash flows in the future, or raise sufficient financing to continue our normal operations, then we may be forced to scale down or even close our operations.

Until such time as we generate revenues, we expect an increase in development costs and operating costs. Consequently, we expect to incur operating losses and negative cash flow until our properties enter commercial production.

We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back our operations and may not be able to continue as a going concern.

We have no history of significant revenues from operations and have no significant tangible assets. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our company has a limited operating history and must be considered in the development stage. The success of our company is significantly dependent on a successful acquisition, drilling, completion and production program. Our company’s operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable basis. We are in the development stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the development stage. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, we may not be able to continue as a going concern and investors may lose some or all of their investment in our company.

Due to the speculative nature of the exploration of oil and gas properties, there is substantial risk that our business will fail.

The business of oil and gas exploration and development is highly speculative involving substantial risk. There is generally no way to recover any funds expended on a particular property unless reserves are established and unless we can exploit such reserves in an economic manner. We can provide investors with no assurance that any property interest that we may acquire will provide commercially exploitable reserves. Any expenditure by our company in connection with locating, acquiring and developing an interest in a mineral or oil and gas property may not provide or contain commercial quantities of reserves.

Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.

Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of its development. We are engaged in the business of exploring and, if warranted, developing commercial reserves of oil and gas. Our properties are in the exploration stage only and are without known reserves of oil and gas. Accordingly, we have not generated any significant revenues nor have we realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will generate any significant revenues or realize any profits in the short term. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating and developing economic reserves of oil and gas, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth herein. Since we have not generated any significant revenues, we will have to raise additional monies through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to continue our business operations.

The potential profitability of oil and gas ventures depends upon factors beyond the control of our company.

The oil and gas industry in general is cyclical in nature. It tends to reflect and be amplified by general economic conditions, both domestically and abroad. Historically, in periods of recession or periods of minimal economic growth, the operations of oil and gas companies have been adversely affected. Certain end-use markets for oil and petroleum products experience demand cycles that are highly correlated to the general economic environment which is sensitive to a number of factors outside our control.

A recession or a slowing of the economy could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and proposed plan of operations. A recession may lead to significant fluctuations in demand and pricing for oil and gas. If we elect to proceed with the development of any of our property interests, our profitability may be significantly affected by decreased demand and pricing of oil and gas. Reduced demand and pricing pressures will adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We are not able to predict the timing, extent and duration of the economic cycles in the markets in which we operate.

The potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls, or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social, and economic environments. Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. These changes and events may materially affect our financial performance.

Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic in the event water or other deleterious substances are encountered which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well. In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances. The marketability of oil and gas which may be acquired or discovered will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and the combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Competition in the oil and gas industry is very intense and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring additional property interests.

The oil and gas industry is very competitive. We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational

resources and staff. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas interests, suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds. We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed.

We are required to obtain licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. We anticipate that we will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits to carry on the activities which we intend to conduct, and that we intend to comply in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits. However, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain and maintain, at all times, all necessary licenses and permits required to undertake our proposed exploration and development or to place our properties into commercial production. In the event that we proceed with our operation without necessary licenses and permits, we may be subject to large fines and possibly even court orders and injunctions to cease operations.

The acquisition of oil and gas interests involve many risks and disputes as to the title of such interests will result in a material adverse effect on our company.

The acquisition of interests in mineral properties involves certain risks. Title to mineral claims and the borders of such claims may be disputed. The concessions may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. If it is determined that any of our company’s concessions are based upon a claim with an invalid title, a disputed border, or subject to a prior right, the balance sheet of our company will be adversely affected and we may not be able to recover damages without incurring expensive litigation costs.

The marketability of natural resources will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control which may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include market fluctuations in oil and gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection regulations. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

Oil and gas operations are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our company.

Oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and gas operations are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted, and no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which we may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. To date, we have not been required to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so in the future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.

Exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our operations.

In general, our exploration and production activities are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on our operations or financial condition to date. Specifically,

we are subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.

We believe that our operations comply, in all material respects, with all applicable environmental regulations. However, we are not fully insured against all possible environmental risks.

Any future operations will involve many risks and we may become liable for pollution or other liabilities which may have an adverse effect on our financial position.

In the course of the exploration, acquisition and development of mineral properties, several risks and, in particular, unexpected or unusual geological or operating conditions may occur. Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, power outages, labor disruptions, blow-outs, sour gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor, and other risks are involved. We may become subject to liability for pollution. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks, and we do not currently have any insurance against such risks nor do we intend to obtain such insurance in the near future due to high costs of insurance. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in an increase in costs and a decline in value of the securities of our company.

We are not insured against most environmental risks. Insurance against environmental risks (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) has not been generally available to companies within the industry. We will periodically evaluate the cost and coverage of such insurance. If we became subject to environmental liabilities and do not have insurance against such liabilities, the payment of such liabilities would reduce or eliminate our available funds and may result in bankruptcy. Should we be unable to fully fund the remedial cost of an environmental problem, we might be required to enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy.

Resource exploration involves many risks, regardless of the experience, knowledge and careful evaluation of the property by our company. These hazards include unusual or unexpected formations, formation pressures, fires, power outages, labour disruptions, flooding, explosions and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour.

Operations in which we will have a direct or indirect interest will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to the exploration, development and production of resource properties, any of which could result in damage to or destruction of producing facilities, damage to life and property, environmental damage and possible legal liability for any or all damage. We do not currently maintain liability insurance and may not obtain such insurance in the future. The nature of these risks is such that liabilities could represent a significant cost to our company, and may ultimately force our company to become bankrupt and cease operations.

Any change to government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitability.

The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the United States or any other jurisdiction, may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter the ability of our company to carry on our business.

The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on us. Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitably.

We may be unable to retain key employees or consultants.

We may be unable to retain key employees or consultants or recruit additional qualified personnel. Our extremely limited personnel means that we would be required to spend significant sums of money to locate and train new employees in the event any of our employees resign or terminate their employment with us for any reason. Due to our limited operating history and financial resources, we are entirely dependent on the continued service of Mr. Chris Metcalf, our chief executive officer. Further, we do not have key man life insurance on Mr. Metcalf. We may not have the financial resources to hire a replacement if we lost the services of Mr. Metcalf. The loss of service of Mr. Metcalf could therefore significantly and adversely affect our operations.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Our common stock is illiquid and the price of our common stock may be negatively impacted by factors which are unrelated to our operations.

Our common stock currently trades on a limited basis on the OTC Bulletin Board. Trading of our stock through the OTC Bulletin Board is frequently thin and highly volatile. There is no assurance that a sufficient market will develop in our stock, in which case it could be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of our competitors, trading volume in our common stock,

changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On April 30, 2008, we entered into a consulting agreement with an accredited investor whereby we agreed to issued 50,000 shares of our common stock. We issued the 50,000 shares of our common stock on June 5, 2008 to the accredited investor in reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
