Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Period from August 11, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2008
Note 1 | Significant Accounting Policies |
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Zulu Energy Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and disclosures required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zulu Energy Corp. (“Zulu Energy”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Nyati Mauritius Limited (“Mauritius”), Nyati Resources Limited (“Resources”), and Nyati Resources Botswana (Proprietary) Limited (“Nyati Botswana”). Collectively, the consolidated entities are referred to herein as the (“Company”). All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s net loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled $193,623, net working capital deficit and total stockholders’ deficit through March 31, 2008 totaled $7,978,467 and $4,950,797, respectively.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent upon its ability to obtain sufficient financing to pay its existing creditors, cover its operating overhead, and fund oil and gas exploration and production projects. Other market factors such as the price of oil, gas and other natural resources upon extraction at prices sufficient to generate profitable operations may impact the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Exploration Stage Company
The Company is in the exploration stage. The Company is in the process of acquiring oil and gas licenses and drilling rights located in Botswana, Africa. The recoverability of the cost of capitalized oil and gas properties are dependent upon the discovery of recoverable reserves, the Company’s ability to obtain the necessary funding to extract the reserves andthe sale of production at profitable market prices.

Zulu Energy Corp. & Subsidiaries
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Period from August 11, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2008
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.7 and SEC Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as exploration stage.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company maintains its cash with a quality financial institution. The Company did not maintain a balance in excess of the FDIC insured amount of $100,000 at any time during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
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 daily 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 recognized 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 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.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Period from August 11, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2008
Revenue Recognition
The Company has not earned any revenues since its inception. Oil and gas revenues will be recorded at such time as the Company has delivered and transferred title to a purchaser of its product and the price has been reasonably determined.
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 March 31, 2008 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 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.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Period from August 11, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2008
Stock-based Compensation
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS 123R “Share-Based Payment”, a revision to FAS 123. FAS 123R replaces existing requirements under FAS 123 and APB 25, and requires public companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity instruments, based on the grant-date fair value of those instruments, with limited exceptions. FAS 123R also affects the pattern in which compensation cost is recognized, the accounting for employee share purchase plans, and the accounting for income tax effects of share-based payment transactions. The Company adopted FAS 123R on November 1, 2006.
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.
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. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the year including stock options, using the treasury stock method. The diluted EPS computation uses the average stock price for the year to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. As at March 31, 2008 the Company has sustained operating losses and, accordingly, any dilutive potential common shares would not have an anti-dilutive effect and are therefore not considered in computing diluted EPS.
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.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Period from August 11, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2008
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 plan to use derivative contracts in the future solely for hedging prices on production.
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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). This interpretation clarifies the application of SFAS 109 by defining the criterion that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and also provides guidance on measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. FIN 48 is effective for our fiscal year commencing November 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have an impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
In November 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combination (FAS 141(R)) and SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (FAS 160). FAS 141(R) will change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. FAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be re-characterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 are effective for both public and private companies for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (fiscal 2010 for the Company). FAS 141(R) will be applied prospectively. FAS160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of FAS 160 will be applied prospectively. Early adoption is prohibited for both standards. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 and has not yet determined the impact on its financial statements.
In December, 2007 the FASB issued FSAS No.157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather, it provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. However, the application of this Statement may change how fair value is determined. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of December 1, 2007 the FASB has proposed a one-year deferral for the implementation of the Statement for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of FAS 157 and has not yet determined the impact on its financial statements.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Period from August 11, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2008
In December, 2007 the FASB issued FSAS No.159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 . This Statement provides all entities with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption available in certain circumstances. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of FAS 159 and has not yet determined the impact on its financial statements.
Note 2 | Nature and Continuance of Operations |
Zulu Energy Corp.
Zulu Energy Corp. (“Zulu Energy”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on May 6, 2005 under the name of Global Sunrise, Inc. On January 16, 2007 Zulu Energy changed its name to Zulu Energy Corp. Prior to the share exchange agreement dated December 20, 2007, as more fully explained below, Zulu Energy utilized a June 30 fiscal year-end. Zulu Energy changed its year-end to December 31 as a result of the merger with Nyati Mauritius Limited (Mauritius). The focus of Zulu Energy’s business plan is the acquisition of oil and gas properties and leasing rights and their exploration, development and production.
Effective December 20, 2007, Zulu Energy acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Mauritius (including the subsidiary of Mauritius named Resources) in exchange for 30,000,000 common shares of Zulu Energy. Zulu Energy’s acquisition of Mauritius (an operating company) and its subsidiary has been recorded as a recapitalization of Zulu Energy because Zulu Energy was a “shell” company, accordingly, Mauritius is deemed to be the accounting acquirer. The 30,000,000 common shares issued have been recorded as if issued by Mauritius for the net monetary assets of Zulu Energy. The statement of stockholder’s deficit reflects the accumulated deficit of Mauritius from its inception and that of Zulu Energy from December 21, 2007 through March 31, 2008 and has been restated to reflect the 10 to 1 forward stock split of January 8, 2007 (see below) as if it had occurred at inception. The prior year comparative financial statements presented are those of Mauritius and its subsidiary.

Note 5 | Oil and Gas Properties |
The Company has acquired nine leases in unproved oil and gas properties located in Botswana. Under the terms of the lease agreements the Company is required to pay its share of royalties and other obligations. The Company paid $7,579 and $7,996 for the lease years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively to the Government of Botswana under such lease agreements. Such leases expire in September 30, 2008. There is no assurance that the leases will be extended by the government.
Pursuant to such contracts, as at March 31, 2008 the Company was obligated to pay $5,684 to maintain the leases. This amount does not contemplate funds required for exploration.
Pursuant to the lease agreements the Company was required to expend the following amounts during the lease period:
Lease Period Ended | Description | Amount in Pulas | |||||
9/30/06 | Study of Data,Bore hole to 300m and complete a desorption study for 6 months | 1,150,000 | |||||
9/30/07 | Data interpretation, Permeability study, Drill production Bore hole, Test CBM produced | 2,000,000 | |||||
9/30/08 | Full feasibility Study, Production and marketing Study | 3,000,000 |
As of March 31, 2008 the Company has not expended the amounts required during the lease periods. Amounts that were to be spent on exploration are due to the government by Botswana law. As of March 31, 2008 and based on Botswana law, management is of the opinion that the Company will not be able to renew 50% of the lease acreage and, accordingly, the financial statements reflect a liability of $4,237,043 (P 27,675,000 converted at $.1531) to the government of Botswana representing the aggregate minimum required prospecting expenditures over the three year lease term. The Company plans to accelerate the exploration activity on the properties and is of the opinion that such activity will be sufficient to enable the renewal of the remaining 50%. There is no assurance that the government will renew any of the leases.
The company has capitalized $27,472 spent since inception exploration activities as oil and gas properties.
In addition to the over-riding royalty interests granted by Nyati Botswana disclosed in Note 6 below, in February 2007 Nyati Botswana granted a 2.5% over-riding royalty interest to Paul Tromp in the oil and gas properties it has leased from the government of Botswana.
Note 6 | Related Party Transactions |
Amounts due to related parties consist of loan in the amount of $255,754 from LMA Hughes, which is an affiliate of a shareholder of the company. As of March 31, 2008 these loans remain payable to LMA Hughes, and are unsecured, non-interest bearing and without specific terms for repayment.

Note 7 | Accounts Payable |
Accounts payable includes $450,000 of working capital advanced to the company by First Capital Investment Corp., which is unsecured and without specific terms of repayment.
Note 8 | Stock-based Compensation |
We have adopted SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” as amended by SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure”. We recognize stock-based compensation expense using a fair value based method. We do not have a qualified stock option plan in place as of the reporting date.
On September 24, 2007, the Company granted 3,000,000 stock options exercisable at $1.81 until September 24, 2012. All these options were fully vested vest on the date of the grant. These options were subsequently cancelled in April 2008 in conjunction with execution of a new employment agreement with Mr. Stroud as more fully described below under “Subsequent Events”.
The fair value of these share purchase options was determined using the Company’s historical stock prices and the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
3.875% | |
Dividend yield | 0% |
Weighted average expected volatility | 90% |
Weighted average expected option life | 5 yrs |
Weighted average fair value of options | $ 1.292 |
Total options outstanding | 3,000,000 |
Total fair value of options outstanding | $ 3,876,000 |
These options were granted by the legal parent who is the accounting acquiree for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, due to the vesting of the stock options prior to the December 20, 2007 stock exchange agreement the year 2007 statement of operations did not reflect the effect of this transaction.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations and estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” set forth above.
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. In December 2007, we acquired nine Prospecting Licenses for the exploration of coal bed methane in the Republic of Botswana in Southern Africa through our acquisition of Nyati Resources Botswana (Proprietary) Limited, which is more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2008 in “Description of Business.” 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.
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. As further described below, on May 7, 2008, we raised $8 million in a private placement of shares of our common stock. At this time we have no commitments or agreements for the raising of capital.
20
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.
As of March 31, 2008, we had $90,572 in available cash. As of March 31, 2008, we had $591,672 in accrued expenses and accounts payables. On March 31, 2008, we had $27,472 in capitalized oil and gas properties as expenses incurred towards exploration activities since inception. We did not have any accounts payables or capitalized oil and gas properties on March 31, 2007. Investment in fixed assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 stood at $298 as compared to $0 during the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
We intend to seek joint ventures and/or to obtain equity and/or debt financing to support our current and proposed operations and capital expenditures. We cannot assure that any such funding will be available. The included financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Required Expenditures Concerning our Oil & Gas Properties
We own nine Prospecting Licenses or leases in unproved oil and gas properties located in the Republic of Botswana. Under the terms of the lease agreements we are required to pay its share of royalties and other obligations. We paid $7,579 and $7,996 for the lease years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively to the Government of Botswana under such lease agreements. Our leases expire in September 30, 2008 and there is no assurance that the leases will be extended by the government.
21
Pursuant to the terms of the leases, as of March 31, 2008 we were obligated to pay the government of Botswana $5,684 to maintain the leases. This amount does not contemplate funds required for exploration.
Under the leases we were required to expend the following amounts during the respective lease period reflected below:
Lease Period Ended | Description | Amount in Pulas | |||||
9/30/06 | Study of Data,Bore hole to 300m and complete a desorption study for 6 months | 1,150,000 | |||||
9/30/07 | Data interpretation, Permeability study, Drill production Bore hole, Test CBM produced | 2,000,000 | |||||
9/30/08 | Full feasibility Study, Production and marketing Study | 3,000,000 |
As of March 31, 2008, we had not expended the amounts required during the lease periods. Amounts that were to be spent on exploration are due to the government by Botswana law. As of March 31, 2008 and based on Botswana law, management is of the opinion that we will not be able to renew 50% of the lease acreage and, accordingly, the financial statements reflect a liability of $4,561,393 (P 27,675,000 converted at $.16482) to the government of Botswana representing the aggregate minimum required prospecting expenditures over the three year lease term. We plan to accelerate the exploration activity on the properties and management is of the opinion that such activity will be sufficient to enable the renewal of the remaining 50%. There is, however, no assurance that the government will renew any of the leases.

On May 7, 2008, we sold 8,000,000 shares of our common stock, together with warrants to purchase up to 8,000,000 shares of common stock, to certain investors in a private placement, also referred to as the Offering. We received $8,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds in the Offering. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and are exercisable for 3 years. The warrants are not exercisable until such time as our shareholders approve an amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock.
Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements entered into as part of the Offering, in the event we, in a subsequent financing, sell any of its equity securities and receives gross proceeds of $5,000,000 or more within 120 days following the closing of the Offering, the investors in the Offering have the right for 30 days following notice by us to them of the subsequent financing to participate in and receive the same terms as the investors in the subsequent financing. If an investor in the Offering elects to participate in the subsequent financing, (i) the subscription funds provided to us as part of the Offering will be allocated to the purchase price or purchase consideration, as applicable, for the securities offered in the subsequent financing, (ii) the investor will surrender to us for cancellation the stock certificates representing the shares of common stock and the warrant received in the Offering, and (iii) the investor will enter into the operative documents prepared in conjunction with the subsequent financing.
We will require additional financing in order to complete our stated plan of operations for the next twelve months. We estimate that we will need approximately $20,000,000 to $25,000,000 for working capital and to carry out our intended objectives in Botswana 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.
22
The trading price of our shares of common stock and the downturn in the United States stock and debt markets 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 curtail our operations.
Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Revenues. For the quarterly period ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 there were no revenues from operating or any other activities.
Operating Expenses. As of March 31, 2008 and based on Botswana law, management is of the opinion that the Company will not be able to renew 50% of the lease acreage and, accordingly, the financial statements reflect a liability of $4,237,043 (Pula 27,675,000 converted at $.1531) to the government of Botswana representing the aggregate minimum required prospecting expenditures over the three year lease term. The Company plans to accelerate the exploration activity on the properties and is of the opinion that such activity will be sufficient to enable the renewal of the remaining 50%. There is no assurance that the government will renew any of the leases.
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, operating expenses of $193,623 consisted primarily of general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, operating expenses of $16,775 consisted of general and administrative expenses.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Zulu Energy and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Nyati Mauritius Limited (“Mauritius”), Nyati Resources Limited (“Resources”), and Nyati Botswana (“Proprietary”) Limited (Botswana). Collectively, the consolidated entities are referred to herein as the “Company”. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 totaled $2,365,412 and accumulated losses through December 31, 2007 totaled $4,760,510. As of December 31, 2007 the Company’s working capital deficiency totaled $8,120,123 and its shareholder deficit totaled $5,090,332. The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $193,623. These factors raise substantial doubt the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
23
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent upon its ability to obtain sufficient financing to pay its existing creditors, cover its operating overhead, and fund oil and gas exploration and production projects. Other market factors such as the price of oil, gas and other natural resources upon extraction at prices sufficient to generate profitable operations may impact the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Exploration Stage Company
The Company is in the exploration stage. In December 2008, the Company acquired oil and gas licenses and drilling rights located in Botswana, Africa. The recoverability of the cost of capitalized oil and gas properties are dependent upon the discovery of recoverable reserves, the Company’s ability to obtain the necessary funding to extract the reserves and the sale of production at profitable market prices.
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.7 and SEC Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as exploration stage.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company maintains its cash with a quality financial institution. The Company did not maintain a balance in excess of the FDIC insured amount of $100,000 at any time during the year ended December 31, 2007.
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 daily 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 recognized for all other sales of producing properties.
24
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 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.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has not earned any revenues since its inception. Oil and gas revenues will be recorded at such time as the Company has delivered and transferred title to a purchaser of its product and the price has been reasonably determined.
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, 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.
25
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.
Stock-based Compensation
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS 123R “Share-Based Payment”, a revision to FAS 123. FAS 123R replaces existing requirements under FAS 123 and APB 25, and requires public companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity instruments, based on the grant-date fair value of those instruments, with limited exceptions. FAS 123R also affects the pattern in which compensation cost is recognized, the accounting for employee share purchase plans, and the accounting for income tax effects of share-based payment transactions. The Company adopted FAS 123R on November 1, 2006.
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. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the year including stock options, using the treasury stock method. The diluted EPS computation uses the average stock price for the year to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. As at March 31, 2008 the Company has sustained operating losses and, accordingly, any dilutive potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect and are therefore not considered in computing diluted EPS.
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.
26
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). This interpretation clarifies the application of SFAS 109 by defining the criterion that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and also provides guidance on measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. FIN 48 is effective for our fiscal year commencing November 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have an impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
In November 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combination (FAS 141(R)) and SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (FAS 160). FAS 141(R) will change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. FAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 are effective for both public and private companies for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (fiscal 2010 for the Company). FAS 141(R) will be applied prospectively. FAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of FAS 160 will be applied prospectively. Early adoption is prohibited for both standards. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 and has not yet determined the impact on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FSAS No.157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather, it provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. However, the application of this Statement may change how fair value is determined. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of December 1, 2007 the FASB has proposed a one-year deferral for the implementation of the Statement for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of FAS 157 and has not yet determined the impact on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FSAS No.159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 . This Statement provides all entities with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption available in certain circumstances. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of FAS 159 and has not yet determined the impact on its financial statements.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) and pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of March 31, 2008. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
27
Based on our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and were fully effective as of March 31, 2008 in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
