Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 20, 2007, Zulu Energy Corp. (“Zulu Energy”, “we” or “us”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Exchange Agreement”), dated as of December 19, 2007, with Nyati Mauritius Limited (“Nyati Mauritius”) and LMA Hughes LLLP (“LMA Hughes”). Nyati Mauritius is the parent entity of Nyati Resources Limited, which holds 50% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Nyati Resources Botswana (Proprietary) Limited (“Nyati Botswana”), which holds certain exploration licenses issued by the government of the Republic of Botswana. On December 20, 2007, we also entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), dated as of December 19, 2007, with Swansi Holdings Corp. (“Swansi”) to acquire the remaining 50% of the issued and outstanding capital o f Nyati Botswana. The Exchange Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement are filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 respectively. The transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement and the Stock Purchase agreement were consummated and all closing conditions were met on December 20, 2007. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreement, Nyati Mauritius became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and we became the ultimate parent of Nyati Botswana.
Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, we issued 30,000,000 shares of our common stock to LMA Hughes, which was the sole shareholder of Nyati Mauritius prior to the closing, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Nyati Mauritius. As a result of the foregoing issuance, LMA Hughes became our largest shareholder. We also granted LMA Hughes a 10% over-riding royalty interest in any properties that we acquire from LMA Hughes in the future and we agreed to reimburse LMA Hughes for certain expenses it incurred as part of this transaction.
Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, we are obligated to pay Swansi $3 million in the aggregate and issue to Swansi a warrant to purchase 15,000,000 shares of our common stock exercisable at $1.50 per share. The warrant will have a five year term and have substantially the same terms as the warrants issued in the First Private Placement as described below. We are obligated to conclude a $5 million private placement by January 19, 2008 and to pay $1.5 million dollars of the proceeds to Swansi as part of the purchase price. We refer to this private placement as the “First Private Placement”. By September 20, 2008, we are obligated to conclude a second private placement of at least $5 million of which $1.5 million is to be paid to Swansi as part of the purchase price. If, however, we are not successful in concluding either the First Private Placement or the Second Private Placement, Swansi has the right to rescind the sale of its 50% ownership interest in Nyati Botswana under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement.
No members of the board of directors of Zulu Energy or the officers of Zulu Energy resigned their positions as a result of the foregoing transactions.
The issuances of the common stock to LMA Hughes was made pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as, among other things, each transaction did not involve a public offering, the investor was an accredited investor, the investor had access to information about the company and their investment, the investor took the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the common stock.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
DESCRIPTION OF ZULU ENERGY’S BUSINESS
The Company
We are a development stage company focused on plans to drill for and extract methane gas from coalbeds, known as coalbed methane (CBM), in the Republic of Botswana. If we are successful in locating and developing coalbed methane in commercial quantities and raising the capital needed for such operations, we are considering one or more strategies to distribute or utilize for various purposes (including gas-to-diesel) the coalbed methane in Botswana and its neighboring countries.
We hold nine Prospecting Licenses, through Nyati Botswana, that were issued by the government of Botswana and which grant us the exclusive right for the exploration of coalbed methane on land to which the government of Botswana holds mineral rights. Our licenses expire in September 2008, but we plan to renew these licenses.
We believe that coalbed methane will become a significant source of competition to conventional natural gas. The potential resources of coalbed methane contained in the world’s coal deposits greatly exceed known conventional natural gas resources. In many areas, coalbeds contain three times more gas than found in the equivalent thicknesses of limestone or sandstone.
Currently, Botswana depends on neighboring countries to meet its energy needs. With the exception of coal, there are no oil, natural gas, or hydro resources in Botswana. During the past five years Botswana has been successful in expanding its electrical grid and electrification of certain rural areas. Botswana has created the goal of developing a greater choice of energy sources during the next five years. The focus is on diversifying its oil supplies and reducing its exposure to energy imports including the development of renewable and environmentally clean energy sources such as coal bed methane.
Incorporation and Organization
We were incorporated on May 6, 2005 as Global Sunrise, Inc. in the State of Colorado. Prior to our acquisition of Nyati Botswana, our efforts had been limited to organizational activities and capital formation and initial due diligence on a mineral claim in Ontario, Canada. After careful consideration and review of the Botswana Coalbed Methane project, our board of directors determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to abandon the mineral exploration project in Ontario, Canada and concentrate our efforts on the Botswana Coalbed Methane project. In January 2007, we changed our name to Zulu Energy Corp. Since early 2007, we have employed a new Chief Executive Officer and new Chief Financial Officer and appointed new members to the board of directors in conjunction with the resignation of the previous members of the board of directors.
On December 19, 2007, we acquired all the ownership interests in Nyati Botswana in two simultaneous transactions. As further described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, we acquired half of the ownership interests in Nyati Botswana from Swansi Holding Corp. and obtained the remaining ownership interest by acquiring Nyati Mauritius Limited, which holds fifty percent of the ownership interests in Nyati Botswana through a subsidiary. We have previously granted overriding royalty interests in the land that is subject to the Prospecting Licenses equal to in the aggregate 10%.

Business Strategy
Our Prospecting Licenses allow us to explore for Coalbed Methane on approximately 2.2 million acres of land in the Pandamatenga area located in the northeast region of the Republic of Botswana on the southern African continent. This area of Botswana is adjacent to the western area of the Republic of Zimbabwe where coal was discovered in the late 1970s and coalbed methane was subsequently discovered. We believe the strata in Zimbabwe extend west into Botswana, and we intend to confirm this belief during our initial exploration phases. Our goal is to discover and produce substantial commercial quantities of coalbed methane on the property under our Prospecting Licenses. However, no assurance can be given that commercial quantities of coalbed methane will be produced.
Our business strategy is predicated on obtaining the necessary capital to fund the required operations. In the early stages of our business strategy, we plan to raise the required funds through primarily equity financings. If we conclude, based on our exploration and testing, that commercial quantities of coalbed methane can be extracted from the area to which we hold licenses we will need substantially more capital for operations and to construct required infrastructure to distribute the methane or otherwise bring the methane to market. Such financings could lie with development banks that are focused on this part of Southern Africa, including the United States Trade & Development Agency and the World Bank, or large institutional investors.
Our business plan is focused on a strategy for maximizing our expertise in identifying and developing coalbed methane resources in Botswana. To date, execution of our business plan has largely focused on identifying and obtaining prospective coalbed methane licenses in Botswana. Successful coalbed methane drilling is dependant on the knowledge and experience of the management team.
The three important concepts in defining economically viable coalbed methane acreage are coal thickness, the relationship between gas content and saturation, and permeability. During our initial exploration phases we intend to validate the economic viability of extracting commercial volumes of coalbed methane from the area to which we hold licenses.
Our business plan involves three phases. During the first phase we plan to drill approximately nine exploration wells to confirm the coal deposit, identify the absorption rates and gas content of the coal and identify production pilot locations. We anticipate that this initial exploration phase will last approximately six months. We plan to begin test drilling and initiate this first phase as soon as practicable after we have received funding. We expect that approximately $7 million of capital will be necessary for the first phase. Assuming we are successful in locating coalbed methane and raising the required capital, the second phase will likely involve the drilling of approximately 16 production test wells with the intent of demonstrating production and commercial viability or commercial volumes of coalbed methane. This phase will also likely include the dewatering of the coal and gas production and is expected to last approximately six months. The third phase will likely involve adding more wells to the pilot wells drilled in the second phase, expand our then existing well footprint and increase production. We anticipate that phase three will last approximately nine months. Costs for the second and third phase are estimated at $20 million. The initiation and completion of each of the three contemplated phases will require us to raise sufficient capital. At this time we have no commitments or agreements for the raising of capital.
If we are successful in locating and developing coalbed methane in commercial quantities and we are successful in obtaining the requisite funding, we plan to utilize the methane for one or more market uses including but not limited to (i) a stand-alone power supply systems including small-scale self-contained gas turbines for power generation that would provide electricity to the national electricity grid network, (ii) gas-to-liquid
production to produce high quality diesel fuel from coalbed methane, (iii) gas-fired power generation plant connecting to the national electricity grid and exporting to neighboring countries, or (iv) the development of a fertilizer plant using coalbed methane as a feedstock and as an energy source for ammonia production for internal use and export. None of the foregoing plans are assured and we have no commitments or agreements for funding at this time.

The Coalbed Methane Industry
Little more than a half-century ago, drillers seeking valuable crude oil bemoaned the discovery of natural gas, despite it being the most efficient and cleanest burning fossil fuel. Given the lack of transportation infrastructure at the time, wells had to be capped or the gas flared. As the U.S. economy expanded after World War II, the development of a vast interstate transmission system facilitated widespread consumption of natural gas in homes and business establishments. The demand for natural gas rose sharply in the 1980’s, when consumers and businesses began to find more uses for it. After years as a low-value commodity, natural gas ascended into the spotlight as demand for the fuel to fire power plants, heat homes and serve as a chemical feedstock outstripped the petroleum industry's ability to tap new reserves. It is our belief that a similar use of natural gas in Africa would have a positive impact on the economic health of Botswana and its neighboring countries and would be a viable business opportunity for us.
We believe the success of coalbed methane developments has been largely the result of improved drilling and completion techniques (including horizontal/lateral completions), better hydraulic fracture designs and significant cost reductions as a result of highly dependable gas content and coalbed reservoir performance analysis. Also aiding this sector’s growth is the apparent shortage of quality conventional exploration and development projects.
We also believe that a major reason propelling the growth in coalbed methane production is its relatively low finding and development costs. Coalbed methane fields are often found where deeper conventional oil and gas reservoirs have already been developed. Therefore, considerable exploration-cost reducing geologic information is often readily available. This available geological information, combined with comparatively shallow depths of prospective coalbed reservoirs, reduces finding and development costs.
Coalbed Methane
Natural gas normally consists of 80% or more methane with the balance comprising such hydrocarbons as butane, ethane and propane. In some cases it may contain minute quantities of hydrogen sulfide, referred to as sour gas. Coalbed methane is, generally, a sweet gas consisting of 95% methane and thus is normally of pipeline quality. Coalbed methane is considered an unconventional natural gas resource because it does not rely on conventional trapping mechanisms, such as a fault or anticline, or stratigraphic traps. Instead coalbed methane is absorbed or attached to the molecular structure of the coals which is an efficient storage mechanism as coalbed methane coals can contain as much as seven times the amount of gas typically stored in a conventional natural gas reservoir such as sandstone or shale.
Coalbed methane is kept within coal by pressure. To produce the gas the water in the coalbed has to be removed, generally by using pumps. As pressure is reduced, the gas desorbs from the coal, flows to the well, and flows up the casing. At the wellhead, the flow rate is measured, and the gas is collected and compressed for transmission via pipelines to household, commercial and industrial users hundreds to thousands of miles away. As dewatering begins to lower the reservoir pressure, gas production occurs rapidly. If the target seam is under-saturated at a specific depth, significant water production must occur to reduce the reservoir pressure to allow gas production to commence. This process usually requires the drilling of adjacent wells and sometimes takes 6 to 36 months to complete. Coalbed methane production typically has a low rate of production decline and an econo mic life typically of 10 to 20 years.
5
The principal sources of coalbed methane are either biogenic, producing a dry gas which is generated from bacteria in organic matter, typically at depths less than 1,000 feet, or thermogenic, which is a deeper wet gas formed when organic matter is broken down by temperature and pressure.
The three main factors that determine whether or not gas can be economically recovered from coalbeds are: (1) the relationship between the gas saturation and the content of the coals; (2) the permeability or flow characteristics of the coals; and (3) the thickness of the coalbeds. Relatively high permeability, which can affect the ability of gas to easily travel to the borehole, is an important factor for the success of coalbed methane wells, but is not absolutely required.
Commodity Price Volatility
Oil and natural gas prices are volatile and subject to a number of external factors. Prices are cyclical and fluctuate as a result of shifts in the balance between supply and demand for oil and natural gas, world and North American market forces, conflicts in Middle Eastern countries, inventory and storage levels, OPEC policy, weather patterns and other factors. OPEC supply curtailment, tensions in the Middle East, increased demand in China and low North American crude stocks have kept crude oil prices high. Natural gas prices are greatly influenced by market forces in North America since the primary source of supply is contained within the continent. Market forces include the industry's ability to find new production and reserves to offset declining production, economic factors influencing industrial demand, weather patterns affecting heating demand and the price of oil for fuel swi tching.
Competition
To our knowledge no other company is producing coalbed methane in Botswana but there is no assurance that other companies with greater resources than what we have will not explore for and produce coalbed methane in Botswana. CIC Energy Corp., however, is engaged in the development and mining of two coal properties located in the Mmamabula Coalfields in Southeastern Botswana and has stated that its business objective is to develop two coal-integrated power stations in Mmamabula, Botswana.
Governmental and Environmental Regulations
Our operations in Botswana are or will be subject to various types of regulation under the laws of the Republic of Botswana. Such regulation includes requiring licenses for the drilling of exploratory wells; environmental impact studies and assessments depending on the phase of exploration or production; permitting and additional license requirements once operations approach commercial production. Following our exploration and identification of coalbed methane in commercial quantities, we will be required to obtain a mining license from the government of Botswana and potentially other permits. In addition, we will be required to fund an environmental assessment or study prior to producing commercial quantities of coalbed methane.
Failure to comply with any laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, penalties, the imposition of injunctive relief or both. Moreover, changes in any of these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business. In view of the many uncertainties with respect to current and future laws and regulations, including their applicability to us, we cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on our future operations.
6
We believe that our operations comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations and that the existence and enforcement of such laws and regulations have no more restrictive an effect on our operations than on other similar companies in the energy industry.
We plan to establish guidelines and management systems to ensure compliance with governmental laws, rules and regulations. The existence of these controls cannot, however, guarantee total compliance with these laws, rules and regulations.
Employees
As of December 27, 2007, we had one full-time, at-will employee and one full time employee with whom we have entered into an employment agreement. We intend to hire additional employees upon receipt of additional financing.
RISK FACTORS
We Have a History Of Losses Which Should Continue, Which May Negatively Impact Our Ability to Achieve Our Business Objectives.
We (Nyati Resources Limited) incurred net losses of $24,018 & $7,087 and $31,105 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for the period from August 11, 2005 (date of inception) to December 31, 2006, respectively, and $48,468 and $1,418 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively. We are in the development stage and there can be no assurance that we can achieve revenues or profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Our operations are subject to the risks inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise, and the special risks of resource exploration. Due to the nature of our business plan to make substantial expenditures for exploration and development activities in 2008 without sources of revenues, we expect to incur a substantial loss in 2008. Revenues and profits, if any, in future years will depend upon various factors, including the results of our exploration and development programs. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve our goals would have an adverse impact on us.
Our Independent Auditors Have Expressed Substantial Doubt About Our Ability to Continue As a Going Concern, Which May Hinder Our Ability to Obtain Future Financing.
In their report dated August 8, 2007, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised as a result of recurring losses from operations. We continue to experience net operating losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to obtain necessary funding from outside sources to commence and develop our operations and generate a profit, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, developing revenues or obtaining loans from various financial institutions where possible. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurance that such methods will prove successful.
There Is No Assurance That We Will Establish Commercial Discoveries on Our Properties.
We have no proven reserves on our properties in Botswana, and there is only limited data from neighboring areas. Although we believe the neighboring geologic strata may extend into our properties, until we explore the properties, we cannot be certain of the nature of the resource. We may not establish commercial discoveries on any of our properties.
7
Because We Are Small and Do Not Have Much Capital, We May Not Be Able to Commence or Properly Execute Our Proposed Operations, Which May Result in a Loss of Your Investment.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we may not be able to commence or properly execute our proposed operations. We must raise capital to initiate and execute the initial exploration phases of our business strategy. We have no commitments or agreements for funding at this time. As such we may not be able to complete an exploration program that is as thorough as we would like. In that event, existing reserves may go undiscovered. Without finding reserves, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment. Our plans to commercialize coalbed methane in Botswana will require additional substantial funding. Such funding is not guaranteed and if we are unable to raise such funds we will be unable to generate revenues and you will lose your investment.
We Have a Limited Operating History and if We Are Not Successful in Commencing Our Exploration Operations and Growing Our Business, Then We May Have to Cease All of Our Operations.
We have no history of revenues from operations. We have yet to generate earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our success is significantly dependent on a successful exploration, development and production program. Our 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. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in our company.
The Volatility of Natural Gas and Oil Prices Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Business.
We have not yet begun to produce and sell Coalbed Methane. However, the prices of natural gas and oil affect our business to the extent that such prices influence a decision to invest in our company. If the prices of natural gas and oil are low, investors may decide to invest in other industries.
Terms of Subsequent Financings May Adversely Impact Your Investment.
We expect to engage in common equity, debt, or preferred stock financings to finance our initial operations. Your rights and the value of your investment in our common stock could be reduced by any type of financing we do due to the senior rights and preferences granted in those financings, or the prices at which the securities are sold by us. In addition, any share of common stock that we sell could be sold into the market impacting the price of our common stock.
If We Are Unable to Retain the Services of Mr. Paul Stroud or If We Are Unable to Successfully Recruit Qualified Managerial and Field Personnel Having Experience in Oil and Gas Exploration, We May Not Be Able to Continue Our Operations.
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Mr. Paul Stroud, our Chief Executive Officer, President, and a director. Loss of the services of Mr. Stroud could have a material adverse effect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. In order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we will be dependent upon, among other things, successfully recruiting qualified managerial and field personnel having experience in the oil and gas exploration business. Competition for qualified individuals is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find, attract and retain existing employees or that we will be able to find, attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms.
8
The Term of Our Coalbed Methane Prospecting Licenses Expires in September 2008 and Renewal of These Licenses Cannot Be Assured
Our nine Coalbed Methane Prospecting Licenses granted to us by the government of the Republic of Botswana have three year terms and expire in September 2008. We have not made the required expenditures as required by the license during the first and second years of the licenses. Although we plan to make substantial expenditures in early to mid 2008, renewal of our licenses cannot be assured.
The Potential Profitability of Our Project Depends Upon Factors Beyond the Control of Our Company.
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.
The marketability of Coalbed Methane in Botswana is not assured and will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. Infrastructure for the distribution or conversion of this energy resource would have to be created, which will involve planning, funding and governmental approval. Other factors include 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.
The Oil And Gas Industry Is Highly Competitive.
The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. We will compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staffs. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for competent and experience personnel, exploration equipment, desirable leases, 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.
Our Proposed Exploration and Development Operations are Subject to Regulation Which May Cause Substantial Delays or Require Capital Outlays in Excess of Those Anticipated Causing an Adverse Effect on Our Company.
Our proposed exploration and development activities are subject to the regulations and laws of the Republic of Botswana. Oil and gas operations in Botswana are subject to 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. Various licenses and permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental standards imposed by governmental 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 ot her environmental damages which it 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 future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.
9
Exploration Activities are Subject to Certain Environmental Regulations Which May Prevent or Delay the Commencement or Continuance of Our Operations.
In general, our exploration activities are subject to certain Botswana 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. These laws and regulations may be changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance.
Exploratory Drilling Involves Many Risks and We May Become Liable for Pollution or Other Liabilities Which May Have an Adverse Effect on Our Financial Position.
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 or hazards against which we cannot adequately insure or which we may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.
Any Change to Government Regulation/Administrative Practices May Have a Negative Impact on Our Ability to Operate and Our Profitability.
The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the Republic of Botswana 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.

Overview
We are a development stage independent oil and gas company focused on the exploration and development of oil and gas resources. We were incorporated on May 6, 2005 and acquired nine Prospecting Licenses for the exploration of coal bed methane in the Republic of Botswana in Southern Africa. Our business plan is focused on discovery and production of substantial commercial quantities of coalbed methane in the Pandamatenga area of Northeastern Botswana.
Paul Stroud is our Chief Executive Officer. He has worked in the energy industry for over 30 years including as an employee for Royal Dutch Shell and UNOCAL and as an independent consulting engineer. Mr. Stroud has been involved in the acquisition of leases, exploration and production. He has substantial experience with coalbed methane and is in the process of assembling our development and management team.
Operations Plan
Our Prospecting Licenses allow us to explore for coalbed methane on approximately 2.2 million acres of land in the Pandamatenga area located in the northeast region of the Republic of Botswana on the southern African continent. We have previously granted overriding royalty interests in the land that is subject to the Prospecting Licenses equal to 10% in the aggregate.
Our goal is to discover and produce substantial commercial quantities of coalbed methane on the property under our Prospecting Licenses. No assurance can be given that commercial quantities of coalbed methane will be produced, if at all. The execution of our business plan will require additional capital which we do not now have on hand. The availability for such funding is also not assured.
11
Our business plan involves three phases. During the first phase we plan to drill approximately nine exploration wells to confirm the coal deposit, identify the absorption rates and gas content of the coal and identify production pilot locations. We anticipate that this initial exploration phase will last approximately six months. We plan to begin test drilling and initiate this first phase as soon as practicable after we have received funding. We expect that approximately $7 million of capital will be necessary for the first phase. Assuming we are successful in locating coalbed methane and raising the required capital, the second phase will likely involve the drilling of approximately 16 production test wells with the intent of demonstrating production and commercial viability or commercial volumes of coalbed methane. This phase will also likely include the dewatering of the coal and gas production and is expected to last approximately six months. The third phase will likely involve adding more wells to the pilot wells drilled in the second phase, expand our then existing well footprint and increase production. We anticipate that phase three will last approximately nine months. Costs for the second and third phase are estimated at $20 million. The initiation and completion of each of the three contemplated phases will require us to raise sufficient capital. At this time we have no commitments or agreements for the raising of capital.
If we conclude, based on our exploration and testing, that commercial quantities of coalbed methane can be extracted from the area to which we hold licenses we will need substantially more capital to construct required infrastructure to distribute the methane or otherwise bring the methane to market. Such financings could lie with development banks that are focused on this part of Southern Africa, including the United States Trade & Development Agency and the World Bank, or large institutional investors, but we have no commitments or arrangements in place for these financings.
Our current cash position is not sufficient to fund our cash requirements during the next twelve months, including operations and capital expenditures. We intend to seek equity and/or debt financing to support our proposed coalbed methane operations and capital expenditures. We cannot assure that continued funding will be available or available on terms acceptable to us.
Our future financial results will depend primarily on (1) our ability to discover and produce commercial quantities of coalbed methane; (2) the market price for oil and gas; and (3) our ability to fully implement our exploration and development program with respect to these and other matters. We cannot assure that we will be successful in any of these activities or that the prices of oil and gas prevailing at the time of production will be at a level allowing for profitable production.
We have not entered into commodity swap arrangements or hedging transactions. Although we have no current plans to do so, we may enter into commodity swap and/or hedging transactions in the future in conjunction with oil and gas production. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have no cash on-hand and we will require additional funding to carry out our intended objectives during the next twelve months.
There can be no assurance, however, that such financing will be available or, if it is available, that we will be able to structure such financing on terms acceptable to us and that it will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements until we can reach a level of profitable operations and positive cash flows. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. We currently have no firm commitments for any additional capital.
12
The trading price of our shares of common stock could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our shares of common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to change our business or cease our operations.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time.
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on the historical trends and other information available when the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Changes in the estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all investment purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Exploration Stage Company
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7 and Securities and Exchange Commission Act Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as exploration stage.
Oil and Gas Properties
13
The Company accounts for its crude oil exploration and natural gas development activities utilizing the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method, costs of productive exploratory wells, development dry holes and productive wells and undeveloped leases are capitalized. Oil and gas lease acquisition costs are also capitalized. Exploration costs, including personnel costs, certain geological and geophysical expenses and delay rentals for oil and gas leases, are charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized, but charged to expense if and when the well is determined not to have found reserves in commercial quantities. The sale of a partial interest in a proved property is accounted for as a cost recovery and no gain or loss is recognized as long as this treatment does not significantly affect the unit-of-production amortization rate. A gain or loss is re cognized for all other sales of producing properties. During the year $0 was charged to exploration expense for dry hole costs.
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 December 31, 2005 and 2004, the fair value of the oil and gas property’s site restoration costs is insignificant.
Long-Lived Assets Impairment
Our long-term assets are reviewed when changes in circumstances require as to whether their carrying value has become impaired, pursuant to guidance established in SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from the related operations, undiscounted and without interest charges. If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value. Fair values are determined based on the quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisal, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.
Income Taxes
We have adopted SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, going forward, which requires us to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
14
Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Stock-based Compensation
We have adopted SFAS No. 123R “Share-Based Payment” as amended by SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure”. We will recognize stock-based compensation expense using a fair value based method.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We have adopted SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative and Hedging Activities”, which requires companies to recognize all derivative contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and to measure them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain and loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. We have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes, but we may use derivative contracts in the future solely for he dging prices on production.

Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of the Company’s common stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation.
Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s common stock has no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the Company’s common stock.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Company’s directors and executive officers are indemnified as provided by the Colorado Business Corporation Act and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. These provisions state that the Company’s directors may cause the Company to indemnify a director or former director against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him as a result of him acting as a director. The indemnification of costs can include an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment. Such indemnification is at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s policy regarding indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Director and Shareholders Nyati Mauritius Limited
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nyati Mauritius Limited and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31,2006, for the period from August I l, 2005 (inception)to December 31, 2005, and for the period from August 11,2005 (inception)to December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Nyati Mauritius Limited and Subsidiary as of December 31,2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31,2006, for the period from August 11,2005 (inception)to December31,2005, and for the period from August 11,2005 (inception)to December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, net capital deficiencies, and negative cash flows 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 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Period from August 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2006
Note 1
Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements include consolidated accounts of the Company Nyati Mauritius Limited and its wholly owned subsidiary, Nyati Resources Limited. The company and it’s subsidiaries are incorporated in the nation of Mauritius.
Development Stage Company
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.7 for its characterization of the Company as a development stage enterprise.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all investments purchased with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
Oil and Gas Activities - Successful Efforts Method of Accounting
On April 4, 2005, the FASB adopted FASB Staff Position FSP FAS 19-1 that amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 19 (FAS 19), Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies, to permit the continued capitalization of exploratory well costs beyond one year if (a) the well found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and (b) the entity is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project.
The Company accounts for its crude oil exploration and natural gas development activities utilizing the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method, costs of productive exploratory wells, development dry holes and productive wells and undeveloped leases are capitalized. Oil and gas lease acquisition costs are also capitalized. Exploration costs, including personnel costs, certain geological and geophysical expenses and delay rentals for oil and gas leases, are charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized, but charged to expense if and when the well is determined not to have found reserves in commercial quantities. The sale of a partial interest in a proved property is accounted for as a cost recovery and no gain or loss is recognized as long as this treatment does not

Notes to the Financial Statements

significantly affect the unit-of-production amortization rate. A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of producing properties. During the year $0 was charged to exploration expense for dry hole costs.
The application of the successful efforts method of accounting requires managerial judgment to determine that proper classification of wells designated as developmental or exploratory which will ultimately determine the proper accounting treatment of the costs incurred. The results from a drilling operation can take considerable time to2 analyze and the determination that commercial reserves have been discovered requires both judgment and industry experience. Wells may be completed that are assumed to be productive and actually deliver oil and gas in quantities insufficient to be economic, which may result in the abandonment of the wells at a later date. Wells are drilled that have targeted geologic structures that are both developmental and exploratory in nature and an allocation of costs is required to properly account for the results. Delineation seismic incurred to select development locations within a n oil and gas field is typically considered a development cost and capitalized, but often these seismic programs extend beyond the reserve area considered proved and management must estimate the portion of the seismic costs to expense. The evaluation of oil and gas leasehold acquisition costs requires managerial judgment to estimate the fair value of these costs with reference to drilling activity in a given area. Drilling activities in an area by other companies may also effectively condemn leasehold positions.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Corporation recognizes the value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the year in which a reasonable estimate of value can be made.
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. As at December 31, 2006, the value of the oil and gas property’s site restoration costs is insignificant.
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

Nyati Mauritius Limited.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Period from August 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2006
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 the Company’s commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company has adopted the provisions of the FAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”. Under FAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are annually tested for impairment. The determination of any impairment includes a comparison of the estimated future operating cash flows anticipated during the remaining life for the net carrying value of the asset as well as a comparison of the fair value to the book value of the Company or the reporting unit to which the goodwill can be attributed.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes by the asset and liability method as mandated by Statement of Financial Standards Number 109. Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current year. Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized in the current year for temporary differences between the tax and accounting basis of assets and liabilities as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes that are likely to be realized. The Company is subject to taxes in the Country of Mauritious.
Mineral Properties
The costs of acquisition, exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral properties are expensed as incurred.
Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with the FAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. As at December 31, 2006 the Company did not have any instruments that would dilute the Company’s shareholding.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Period from August 11, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2006
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounts of the Company are translated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 52, which requires that foreign currency assets and liabilities be translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using the average rates prevailing throughout the period. The effects of unrealized exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars are accumulated as the accumulated other comprehensive adjustment in shareholders’ equity.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make assumptions and estimates that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Note 2
Nature and Continuance of Operations
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the country of Mauritius on August 11, 2005 as Nyati Mauritius Limited.
The Company’s share capital is comprised of authorized common stock of 50,000 shares at $1 par value. The common shareholders have a right to one vote per share held. At inception, the company issued 2 shares at $1 par value to the subscribers of the company.
The Company is in the development stage and is in the process of acquiring and exploring oil and gas properties located in Botswana. The recoverability of amounts shown for oil and gas properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest therein, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete their development and upon future profitable production or proceeds from their disposition.
These annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles U.S. 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. The Company has had recurring losses since inception, deficits in its capital accounts, and negative working capital all of which raise doubt as to it’s ability to continue without infusion of cash resources. Management considers that the

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Period from August 11, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2007
Note 1
Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements include consolidated accounts of the Company Nyati Mauritius Limited and its wholly owned subsidiary, Nyati Resources Limited and Nyati Botswana (Proprietary) Limited, in which Nyati Resources has 50% shareholding.
Development Stage Company
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.7 for its characterization of the Company as development stage.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Oil and Gas Activities - Successful Efforts Method of Accounting
On April 4, 2005, the FASB adopted FASB Staff Position FSP FAS 19-1 that amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 19 (FAS 19), Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies, to permit the continued capitalization of exploratory well costs beyond one year if (a) the well found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and (b) the entity is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project.
The Company accounts for its crude oil development and natural gas development activities utilizing the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method, costs of productive exploratory wells, development dry holes and productive wells and undeveloped leases are capitalized. Oil and gas lease acquisition costs are also capitalized. Exploration costs, including personnel costs, certain geological and geophysical expenses and delay rentals for oil and gas leases, are charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized, but charged to expense if and when the well is determined not to have found reserves in commercial quantities. The sale of a partial interest in a proved property is accounted for as a cost recovery and no gain or loss is recognized as long as this treatment does not significantly affect the unit-of-production amortization rate. A gain or loss is reco gnized for all other sales of producing properties.
The application of the successful efforts method of accounting requires managerial judgment to determine that proper classification of wells designated as developmental or exploratory which will ultimately determine the proper accounting treatment of the costs incurred. The results from a drilling operation can take considerable time to analyze and the determination

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Period from August 11, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2007
that commercial reserves have been discovered requires both judgment and industry experience. Wells may be completed that are assumed to be productive and actually deliver oil and gas in quantities insufficient to be economic, which may result in the abandonment of the wells at a later date. Wells are drilled that have targeted geologic structures that are both developmental and exploratory in nature and an allocation of costs is required to properly account for the results. Delineation seismic incurred to select development locations within an oil and gas field is typically considered a development cost and capitalized, but often these seismic programs extend beyond the reserve area considered proved and management must estimate the portion of the seismic costs to expense. The evaluation of oil and gas leasehold acquisition costs requires managerial judgment to estimate the fair value of these costs with reference to drilling activity in a given area. Drilling activities in an area by other companies may also effectively condemn leasehold positions.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Corporation recognizes the value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the year in which a reasonable estimate of value can be made.
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. As at September 30, 2007 the value of the oil and gas property’s site restoration costs is insignificant.
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 the Company’s commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company has adopted the provisions of the FAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”. Under FAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are annually tested for impairment. The determination of any impairment includes a comparison of the estimated future operating cash flows anticipated during the

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Period from August 11, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2007
remaining life for the net carrying value of the asset as well as a comparison of the fair value to the book value of the Company or the reporting unit to which the goodwill can be attributed.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes by the asset and liability method as mandated by Statement of Financial Standards Number 109. Under this method, current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable for the current year. Future income tax assets and liabilities are recognized in the current year for temporary differences between the tax and accounting basis of assets and liabilities as well as for the benefit of losses available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes that are likely to be realized. The Company is subject to income taxes in the Country of Mauritius.
Mineral Properties
The costs of acquisition, exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral properties are expensed as incurred.
Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with the FAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. As at September 30, 2007 the Company did not have any instruments that would dilute the Company’s shareholding.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accounts of the Company are translated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 52, which requires that foreign currency assets and liabilities be translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using the average rates prevailing throughout the period. The effects of unrealized exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars are accumulated as the accumulated other comprehensive adjustment in shareholders’ equity.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make assumptions and estimates that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Note 2
Nature and Continuance of Operations
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the country of Mauritius on August 11, 2005 as Nyati Mauritius Limited.
The Company’s share capital is comprised of authorized common stock of 50,000 shares at $1 par value. The common shareholders have a right to one vote per share held. At inception, the company issued 2 shares at $1 par value to the subscribers of the company.
Nyati Resources Limited acquired a controlling stake (90%) in a company called Nyati Botswana (Proprietary) Limited, when 90 shares of Nyati Botswana were issued to Nyati Resources on February 14, 2007 at par value i.e. Pula 1 per share. Nyati Botswana (Proprietary) Limited is a oil and gas (development stage) company. As on this date, the other 10% shares of Nyati Botswana were held by Swansi Holdings Corp.
On March 2nd, 2007 Swansi Holdings Corp. had entered into a call options agreement to buy 40 shares of Nyati Botswana (Proprietary) Limited from Nyati Resources Limited at $1 per share. On June 6th, 2007 Nyati Resources Limited sold 40 shares of Nyati Botswana (Proprietary) Limited to Swansi Holdings Corp. pursuant to their exercising the call options agreement mentioned above, thus bringing down the ownership of Nyati Resources Limited in Nyati Botswana (Proprietary) Limited from 90% to 50%. As on September 30, 2007 the company’s shareholding in Nyati Botswana (Proprietary) Limited stood at 50%. The other 50% in Nyati Botswana (Proprietary) Limited was held by Swansi Holdings Corp.
The Company issued 98 shares to its holding company LMA Hughes, LLP on July 2nd, 2007 at par value, thus bringing the total shares issued and outstanding of the company to 100. All shares of the company were held by LMA Hughes, LLP as on September 30, 2007.
The Company is in the development stage and is in the process of acquiring and exploring oil and gas properties located in Botswana. The recoverability of amounts shown for oil and gas properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest therein, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete their development and upon future profitable production or proceeds from their disposition.

These annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States 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. The Company has had recurring losses since inception, deficits in its capital accounts, and negative working capital all of which raise doubt as to it’s ability to continue without infusion of cash resources. Management considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional fun ds by equity financing and/or related party advances; however there is no assurance of additional funding being available.
