FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Except for historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, statements regarding our business strategy, future revenues and anticipated costs and expenses. Such forward-looking statements include, among others, those statements including the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes” and similar language. Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements. You should carefully review the risks described in this Annual Report and in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. These factors include among others:
| • | The risks associated with oil and gas exploration; |
| • | Our ability to raise capital to fund capital expenditures; |
| • | Our ability to find, acquire, market, develop and produce new properties; |
| • | Oil and gas price volatility; |
| • | Uncertainties in the estimation of proved reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and timing of development expenditures; |
| • | Operating hazards attendant to the natural gas and oil business; |
| • | Downhole drilling and completion risks that are generally not recoverable from third parties or insurance; |
| • | Availability and cost of materials and equipment; |
| • | Delays in anticipated start-up dates; |
| • | Actions or inactions of third-party operators of our properties; |
| • | Our ability to find and retain skilled personnel; |
| • | Regulatory developments; |
| • | Environmental risks; and |
| • | General economic conditions. |
Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and in the sections “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Business Development
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 18, 2005. We were formed to purchase, operate and develop oil and gas properties. We are in the exploration stage, have no developed reserves or production, and have not realized any revenues from our operations. In January 2008 we participated in the drilling of the Mike Prospect located in North Central Adams County, Colorado. Following drilling, it was determined that the well could not produce in commercially viable quantities. We owned a 50% working interest in the Mike Prospect.
On May 22, 2008 we entered into a Memorandum of Intent with Coastal Petroleum Company (“Coastal”) which outlined the terms and conditions under which Coastal was willing to enter into a formal agreement with us on certain oil and gas leases owned by Coastal in Valley Creek, Montana. The leases involve approximately 82,800 net acres. Under the leases, Coastal has a 100% working interest with between 75.5% to 80.5% net revenue interests. Pursuant to the Memorandum of Intent, on May 23, 2008 we paid Coastal $180,000 in exchange for a two year option to purchase a 50% interest in the leases for $1,000,000. Prior to exercising the purchase option, we have the right to drill a well at our expense on the leases and earn a 50% working interest in the spacing unit if the well is a producer and we make full payment for the 50% working interest. We have no obligation however, to drill any well on the leases before we exercise our right to purchase the 50% interest in the leases from Coastal. On June 10, 2008 we entered into a formal agreement with Coastal with respect to the foregoing.
On June 16, 2008 we entered into an Assignment of Farmout Agreement with West Canyon Energy Corp. (aka PetroSouth Energy Corp.). Thereunder, we were assignee of a 25% interest in and to a Farmout Agreement (the “Farmout Agreement”) dated February 1, 2008 by and between Transco Oil & Gas, Inc. as Farmor and West Canyon Energy Corp. respecting the North Semitropic Prospect (the “Prospect”) in Kern County, California. We paid $34,000 for the assignment and were responsible for the payment of our proportionate share of drilling and testing costs on the Prospect. On or about June 12, 2008 we paid Transco Oil & Gas, Inc. $100,347.50 representing the balance due by us on our share of the Prospect acquisition. We subsequently determined not to pursue our interest in the Prospect and effectively unwound the transaction. Accordingly, on November 28, 2008 we entered into an Assignment of Farmout Interest with West Canyon Energy Corp. pursuant to which we assigned back to West Canyon Energy Corp. the 25% interest in and to a Farmout Agreement. We received $134,438 for the assignment which approximated our cost.
On July 25, 2009 we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Enercor, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Enercor”). Therein we acquired a 35% – 40% interest in certain contract rights acquired by Enercor as the successor to an agreement (the “Tar Sand Rights Agreement”) granting rights to extract tar sand deposits pursuant to Combined Hydrocarbon Leases (“CHL’s”) to be issued by the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) covering approximately 33,632 acres of land in Southern Uintah County, Utah. The issuance of the CHL’s is subject to regulatory requirements including, but not limited to, approvals of operating plans and environmental impact studies. If the CHL’s are issued, the right to develop the tar sand deposits covered by the CHL’s will be assigned to Enercor, subject to a reserved overriding royalty and subject to certain third-party consent rights discussed below, and Enercor will, in turn, assign a 35% – 40% working interest in the tar sand deposit development rights granted by the CHL’s to us. The Tar Sand Rights Agreement requires the approval of the other contracting party to the assignment to and by Enercor of the tar sand deposit rights (the “Contract Approval”). We expect the BLM to issue the CHL’s upon the satisfactory completion of all regulatory requirements, expect the Contract Approval to be granted and hope to be able to commence tar sand extraction in approximately 12 months. No assurance can be given, however, as to when and if the Contract Approval and Combined Hydrocarbon Leases will be granted and if granted, when we would be able to commence tar sand extraction activities.
We are required to pay Enercor an aggregate of up to $5,000,000 for the contract interest in a combination of cash ($500,000 to $1,000,000) and shares of our restricted common stock ($4,000,000). The stock payment was made effective July 31, 2009 (the “Initial Closing Date”) by the issuance of 4,147,237 shares to Enercor. The number of shares of our common stock constituting the stock payment was determined by dividing $4,000,000 by the average closing price for our common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the Initial Closing Date multiplied by 75%. The cash payments, each in the amount of $100,000 will be made at 30 day intervals following the Initial Closing Date. We have the option to limit our aggregate cash payments to $500,000. To the extent we do so, we will acquire less than a 40% interest in the contract rights and receive an assignment, if applicable, of less than a 40% working interest.
On August 5, 2009 we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Enercor. Therein we acquired a 37.5% working interest in a lease covering 640 acres in Uintah County, Utah (Lease UTU – 38076). The lease is subject to aggregate royalties of 18.25%. The lease provides for conventional oil and gas drilling. We intend to apply to the Bureau of Land Management for the issuance of a Combined Hydrocarbon Lease on the property which will allow us to also engage in tar sands extraction activity. The balance of the lease rights are owned by Pioneer Natural Resources. The lease is adjacent to the leases which are the subject of our July 25, 2009 Purchase Agreement with Enercor. We are required to pay Enercor 300,000 shares of our common stock for the working interest.
On August 12, 2009 we entered into a Purchase Agreement with Enercor. Therein we acquired a 62.5% working interest in a lease covering 640 acres in Uintah County, Utah (Lease UTU – 27413). The lease is subject to aggregate royalties of 18.25%. The lease provides for conventional oil and gas drilling. We intend to apply to the Bureau of Land Management for the issuance of a Combined Hydrocarbon Lease on the property which will allow us to also engage in tar sands extraction activity. The balance of the lease rights are owned by Questar Corporation. The lease is adjacent to the leases which are the subject of our July 25, 2009 and August 5, 2009 Purchase Agreements with Enercor. We are required to pay Enercor 300,000 shares of our common stock for the working interest.
On July 6, 2009 we entered into a Share Issuance Agreement (the “Share Issuance Agreement”) with Baden Energy Group Ltd. (“Baden”) pursuant to which Baden may, at our request, purchase units of our securities at a price equal to 80% of the volume weighted average of the closing price for our common stock for the ten business days immediately preceding the date we supply Baden with written notice of our request that they purchase units (the “Unit Price”). Each unit will consist of one share of our restricted common stock and one common stock purchase warrant to purchase one share of our common stock for a period of three years from issuance at an exercise price equal to 125% of the Unit Price. Each such request by us must be in the amount of not less than $100,000 of units and must be in multiples of $100,000. We must use the proceeds from all unit sales for exploration activities, working capital and general corporate activities. Baden may however, in its sole discretion, refuse to act on any request by us due to its determination that market conditions are unfavorable.
The Share Issuance Agreement is in effect until July 6, 2010 and is subject to extension for an additional six month term at the option of either party by providing the other party with written notice thereof prior to July 6, 2010. During the term of the Share Issuance Agreement, as such may be extended, we may sell up to $6,000,000 of units to Baden, which amount may be increased by Baden, in its discretion, to $10,000,000.
During the period ending July 5, 2010, we may not discuss, solicit, negotiate or engage in any investment or corporate financing agreements without the prior written consent of Baden, which consent will not be arbitrarily withheld. Further, Baden has a right of first refusal during such period on all of our proposed financings with third parties. The foregoing right of Baden to prohibit our discussion, solicitation, negotiation or engagement in investment or corporate financing agreements or to maintain a right of first refusal will be of no further force or effect, however, should Baden refuse a unit purchase request from us by reason of unfavorable market conditions.
The Share Issuance Agreement further provides that until July 6, 2010 we may only engage in equity financings and may not engage in debt financings. The Share Issuance Agreement is not assignable or transferrable by Baden without our prior written consent, which consent may not be arbitrarily withheld.
Effective August 12, 2009 Baden purchased 319,419 units, at our request, pursuant to our Share Issuance Agreement with Baden at a price of $0.94 per unit or an aggregate of $300,000. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and one common stock purchase warrant to purchase one additional share of our common stock at a price of $1.18 per share for a period of three years from issuance.
Principal Products and Services
We are in the exploration stage and do not currently offer any products or services for sale. If, after exploration and drilling, we determine that there are commercial quantities of oil and natural gas on our properties, we plan to produce the oil and natural gas and sell it at the wellhead.
We need to raise a significant amount of capital to pay for our planned exploration and development activities. If we cannot raise the capital we require or find partners that can fund our required expenditures, we will not be able to drill and our business will fail. Even assuming that we obtain the financing we require, if we do not discover and produce commercial quantities of oil and natural gas, we will not have any products or services to offer and our business could fail.
Competitive Business Conditions
The oil and natural gas industry is highly competitive. We compete with private and public companies in all facets of the oil and natural gas business. Numerous independent oil and gas companies, oil and gas syndicators, and major oil and gas companies actively seek out and bid for oil and gas prospects and properties as well as for the services of third-party providers, such as drilling companies, upon which we rely. Many of these companies not only explore for, produce and market oil and natural gas, but also carry out refining operations and market the resultant products worldwide. Most of our competitors have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and other resources than we do.
Competitive conditions may be affected by various forms of energy legislation and/or regulation considered from time to time by the government of the United States and other countries, as well as factors that we cannot control, including international political conditions, overall levels of supply and demand for oil and gas, and the markets for synthetic fuels and alternative energy sources.
Advisory Board
Effective July 6, 2009, we formed an advisory board and appointed Warren Dillard as the initial member thereof. Mr. Dillard has over 40 years of business experience in a vast array of activities in investment management, corporate financial management and early-stage capital formation, for both public and private investment funds and operating companies in a wide range of businesses. He is presently serving as the Chief Executive Officer of Enertech Energy, Inc. (“Enertech”), a Los Angeles based energy company and is the Chief Financial Officer of Enercor, Inc., a subsidiary of Enertech. He received his BBA in Accounting from Texas A&M University and his MBA in Finance with Honors from the Harvard Business School. We agreed to pay Mr. Dillard an aggregate of 50,000 shares of our common stock for each year of services on the advisory board, the first 25,000 of which were issued in connection with the appointment. The second 25,000 shares are to be issued on or about January 6, 2010.
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts
We presently utilize no patents, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts in connection with our business.
Research and Development
During the fiscal years ended May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008 we made no expenditures on research and development.
Employees
As of August 20, 2009 our only employee is our sole executive officer.
Reverse Stock Split

The record date, payment date and market effective date for the Forward Split was May 6, 2008, May 7, 2008 and May 8, 2008, respectively. Immediately prior to the Forward Split there were 2,004,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. Immediately following the Forward Split there was 70,140,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Not applicable.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed elsewhere in this annual report.
We are in the exploration stage as an oil and gas exploration company and during the year ended May 31, 2009 we engaged in limited oil and gas activities. We had minimal operations and generated no revenues during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009. Our ability to develop and maintain a meaningful level of revenues from operations is dependent on our ability to successfully acquire and drill exploration and development wells and complete producing property acquisitions.
At the present time, we have no developed properties and no production.
In its report dated July 24, 2009, our auditors, Ronald R. Chadwick, PC expressed an opinion that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We have generated no operating revenues since our inception. We have an accumulated deficit of $530,041 as of May 31, 2009. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon future events, including our ability to raise additional capital and to generate positive cash flows.
In May 2008 we acquired a two year option to purchase a 50% interest in certain oil and gas leases in Valley Creek, Montana. We have the right but not the obligation to drill a well on the lands covered by these leases prior to exercising the purchase option and earn a 50% working interest therein. In June 2008 we obtained a 25% interest under a Farmout Agreement with respect to the North Semitropic Prospect in Kern County, California. In November 2008 we determined not to pursue our interest in the North Semitropic Prospect and effectively unwound the transaction.
Subsequent to the period covered by this Annual Report, we entered into Purchase Agreements with Enercor Inc. dated July 25, 2009, August 5, 2009 and August 12, 2009 pursuant to which we have acquired contract rights and working interests in leases located in Uintah County, Utah (see "ITEM 1. BUSINESS").
Our current business plan strategy is to develop our properties and any other prospects that we may acquire interests in. We intend to fund any additional lease acquisitions and any seismic costs needed to further define the prospects from additional financing. No assurance can be given that such additional financing will be available to us as and when needed or, if available, the terms on which it will be available.
Subject to receipt of necessary financing, we plan to spend approximately $1.2 million in the next 12 months on exploration and development activities such as seismic data acquisition, additional lease acquisition, technical studies and participating in joint venture development and exploration drilling.
We will require financing to meet working capital costs, including the cost of reviewing and negotiating transactions and other ordinary general and administrative costs such as regulatory compliance, investor relations, advisory services, officer’s salaries, office and general expenses, professional fees, travel and entertainment and rent and related expenses. We estimate that the level of working capital needed for these general and administrative costs for the next twelve months will be approximately $180,000. However, this estimate is subject to change, depending on the number of transactions in which we ultimately become involved. In addition, funding will be required for follow-on development of working interest obligations of any successful exploration prospects.
Oil and gas exploration required significant outlays of capital and in many situations may offer a limited probability of success. We hope to enhance our chances for success by effectively using available technology, rigorously evaluating sub-surface data, and, to the extent possible, managing dry-hole and financial risks.
We intend to rely on synergistic partnering with sophisticated industry partners. The ideal partner would tend to be a regionally focused independent which has a large seismic database, a solid grasp on the play’s history, and a lead in understanding technology to exploit the play. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully negotiate any such partnering agreement or raise the necessary financing to invest in such a venture, or that any such venture will yield us any revenues or profits.
We will face competition from firms that are well-established, successful, better capitalized and, in many instances, willing to pay more for properties than what we might consider prudent. Thus, our success will depend on the execution of our business model to
| • | identify available transactions |
| • | quickly evaluate which transactions are most promising; and |
| • | negotiate a creative transaction structure. |
Presently we have one full-time employee consisting of Massimiliano Pozzoni, our President and Chief Executive and Financial Officer. We do not expect significant changes in the number of employees during the next twelve months.
We intend to contract out certain technical and administrative functions on an as-needed basis in order to conduct our operating activities. Our management team will select and hire these contractors and manage and evaluate their work performance.
Results of Operations
Revenues
We have had no revenues since our inception.
Expenses
We had operating expenses of $279,350 and $188,090 for the years ended May 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in operating expenses during the year ended May 31, 2009 was primarily attributable to increased legal and salary expenses.
Net Loss
We incurred net losses for the years ended May 31, 2009 and 2008 of $285,988 and $191,819, respectively. The increase in net loss was directly attributable to the increase in our operating expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At May 31, 2009 we had a working capital deficit of $106,091 compared to a working capital deficit of $70,103 at May 31, 2008. Current liabilities increased to $127,163 at May 31, 2009 from $119,747 at May 31, 2008. Current assets decreased to $21,072 at May 31, 2009 from $49,644 at May 31, 2008.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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.
Income Tax
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS 109”). Under SFAS 109 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net Income (Loss) per share
The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis as earned under contract terms. The Company has had no revenue to date.
Oil and Gas Interests
The Company follows the full-cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all costs incurred in the exploration, acquisition, and development, including unproductive wells, are capitalized in separate cost centers for each country. Such capitalized costs include contract and concessions acquisition, geological, geophysical, and other exploration work, drilling, completing and equipping oil and gas wells, constructing production facilities and pipelines, and other related costs.
The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties in each cost center are amortized on a composite units of production method based on future gross revenues from proved reserves. Sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties are normally accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs. Gain or loss is not recognized in income unless a significant portion of a cost center’s reserves is involved. Capitalized costs associated with acquisition and evaluation of unproved properties are excluded from amortization until it is determined whether proved reserves can be assigned to such properties or until the value of the properties is impaired. If the net capitalized costs of oil and gas properties in a cost center exceed an amount equal to the sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves in the cost center and the lower of cost or fair value of properties not being amortized, both adjusted for income tax effects, such excess is charged to expense.
Since the Company has not produced any oil or gas, a provision for depletion has not been made.
Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, as reported in the Company’s balance sheet, approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(r) which are effective in general for transactions entered into or modified after June 15, 2005. The adoption did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.
In May, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3”. SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

ITEM 9A.[T] CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Our Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including Massimiliano Pozzoni, our chief executive and financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that, as of May 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
With the participation of Massimiliano Pozzoni, our Chief Executive and Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2009 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on our evaluation, management concluded that we did maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2009 based on the COSO framework criteria.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including Massimiliano Pozzoni, our Chief Executive and Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2009, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Executive Officers, Directors and Key Employees
Directors serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders; until their successors are elected or appointed and qualified, or until their prior resignation or removal. Officers serve for such terms as determined by our board of directors. Each officer holds office until such officer’s successor is elected or appointed and qualified or until such officer’s earlier resignation or removal. No family relationships exist between any of our present directors and officers.
The following table sets forth certain information, as of May 31, 2009, with respect to our directors and executive officers.
Name | | Positions Held | | Age | | Date of Election or Appointment as Director |
| | | | | | |
Massimiliano Pozzoni | | President, Secretary, Treasurer, CEO, CFO, and Director | | 32 | | March 21, 2008 |
The following is a brief account of the business experience during the past five years or more of each of our directors and executive officers.
Massimiliano Pozzoni
From March 21, 2008 to the present, Mr. Pozzoni has served as a Director and as our President and Chief Executive and Financial Officer. Mr. Pozzoni has served as an executive officer and a Director of True North Energy Corp. (“True North”), a public US oil and gas company since January 27, 2006. Mr. Pozzoni served as the sole executive officer of True North from January 27, 2006 until June 1, 2006. From June 1, 2006 to the present, Mr. Pozzoni has served as the Secretary, Treasurer, and Chief Financial and Accounting Officer of True North. From March 2004 until January 18, 2007 Mr. Pozzoni served as an executive officer and Director of Falcon Natural Gas Corp., a U.S. public company engaged in oil and gas operations. From November 2003 to June 1, 2005, Mr. Pozzoni served as the Chief Executive Officer and Director of Gulf Coast Oil & Gas Inc., formerly Otish Mountain Diamond Company, a public reporting company. From September 2001 to July 2003, Mr. Pozzoni attended London Business School on a full-time basis. From June 2002 to August 2002, Mr. Pozzoni was employed as a Summer Associate at Lehman Brothers Inc. From June 1998 to June 2001, Mr. Pozzoni worked as an engineer at Schlumberger Oilfield Services. Mr. Pozzoni received a Bachelor degree in International Business in 1998 from the University of Kansas and an MBA degree from the London Business School in 2003.
Board of Directors
None of our directors receive any remuneration for acting as such. Directors may however be reimbursed their expenses, if any, for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees. No such committees presently exist, due to the fact that we presently have only one director. Accordingly, we do not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert. We are presently not required to have an audit committee financial expert and do not believe we otherwise need one at this time due to our lack of material business operations. Similarly we do not have a nominating committee or a committee performing similar functions. Our sole director, Massimiliano Pozzoni, serves the functions of an audit committee and a nominating committee. We have not implemented procedures by which our security holders may recommend board nominees to us but expect to do so in the future, when and if we engage in material business operations.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, requires that our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a class of our equity securities that are registered under the Exchange Act to file with the Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes of ownership of such registered securities.
To our knowledge, based solely on a review of copies of such reports, no person required to file such a report failed to file a required report with respect to the fiscal year covered by this report.
Code of Ethics
In 2007 we adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, persons performing similar functions as well as to our directors and employees. A copy of our Code of Ethics will be provided to any person requesting same without charge. To request a copy of our Code of Ethics please make written request to our President c/o Cobra Oil & Gas Company at Uptown Center, 2100 West Loop South, Houston, TX 77002.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Cobra Oil and Gas Company
Aurora, Colorado
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Cobra Oil and Gas Company, an exploration stage company, as of May 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from November 18, 2005 (inception) through May 31, 2009 . These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cobra Oil and Gas Company as of May 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from November 18, 2005 (inception) through May 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 7. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

COBRA OIL & GAS COMPANY
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2009
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Cobra Oil & Gas Company (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 18, 2005. The Company was formed to engage in identifying, investigating, exploring, and where determined advantageous, developing, mining, refining, and marketing oil and gas. The Company may also engage in any other business permitted by law, as designated by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Exploration Stage
The Company is currently in the exploration stage. During the first six months of the current year the Company entered into a farmout agreement with West Canyon Energy Corp on a prospect in Kern County, California. This agreement was later rescinded with no adverse financial consequences to the Company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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.
Income Tax
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS 109”). Under SFAS 109 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Fiscal year
The Company employs a fiscal year ending May 31.
Net Income (Loss) per share
The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis as earned under contract terms. The Company has had no revenue to date.
COBRA OIL & GAS COMPANY
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2009
Oil and Gas Interests
The Company follows the full-cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all costs incurred in the exploration, acquisition, and development, including unproductive wells, are capitalized in separate cost centers for each country. Such capitalized costs include contract and concessions acquisition, geological, geophysical, and other exploration work, drilling, completing and equipping oil and gas wells, constructing production facilities and pipelines, and other related costs.
The capitalized costs of oil and gas properties in each cost center are amortized on a composite units of production method based on future gross revenues from proved reserves. Sales or other dispositions of oil and gas properties are normally accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs. Gain or loss is not recognized in income unless a significant portion of a cost center’s reserves is involved. Capitalized costs associated with acquisition and evaluation of unproved properties are excluded from amortization until it is determined whether proved reserves can be assigned to such properties or until the value of the properties is impaired. If the net capitalized costs of oil and gas properties in a cost center exceed an amount equal to the sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves in the cost center and the lower of cost or fair value of properties not being amortized, both adjusted for income tax effects, such excess is charged to expense.
Since the Company has not produced any oil or gas, a provision for depletion has not been made.
Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, as reported in the accompanying balance sheet, approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(r) which are effective in general for transactions entered into or modified after June 15, 2005. The adoption did not have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.
In May, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3”. SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. The provisions of SFAS No. 154 are effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 6. INCOME TAX
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS 109”). Under SFAS 109 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
At May 31, 2008 and 2009 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $230,000 and $520,000 which begin to expire in 2026. The deferred tax asset of approximately $73,000 and $166,000 in 2008 and 2009 created by the net operating losses have been offset by a 100% valuation allowance. The change in the valuation allowance in 2008 and 2009 was $51,086 and $92,800.
NOTE 7. GOING CONCERN
The Company has suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through offerings of debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions. In addition, the Company hopes to generate revenues from finding and producing oil and gas on its lease properties.
