Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements.
The discussion in this Report on Form 10-Q, including the discussion in Item 2 of PART I, contains forward-looking statements that have been made pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business, based on management’s current beliefs and assumptions made by management. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, believes”, “plans”, “seeks”, “estimates”, and similar expressions or variations of these words are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Additionally, statements that refer to the Company’s estimated or anticipated future results, sales or marketing strategies, new product development or performance or other non-historical facts are forward-looking and reflect the Company’s current perspective based on existing information. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth below in Item 1 as well as previous public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations included in Item 2 of PART I should also be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of PART I of this quarterly report. These quarterly financial statements do not include all disclosures provided in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the “Risk Factors” and annual financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009 as filed with the Commission on July 13, 2009. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2009
Tamm Oil and Gas Corp. is referred to in these notes as “the Company” or “TAMM”.
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows:
General
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as promulgated in Item 210 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results from operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended March 31, 2010. The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2009, included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 13, 2009.
Basis and business presentation
TAMM, formerly Hola Communications, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 10, 2005. The Company was formed to provide wireless broadband access. In October 2007, the Company decided to discontinue its efforts to develop its original business plan in the telecom industry and to re-direct its focus to the oil and gas industry. In November 2007, the Company created a wholly owned Nevada subsidiary for the purpose of affecting a name change from Hola Communications, Inc. to TAMM Oil and Gas Corporation. To implement its current business plan, significant additional financing will be required and the Company will need to be successful in its efforts to identify, acquire and develop oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable.
The Company is in the development stage as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7 with its efforts principally devoted to developing oil and gas reserves. To date, the Company, has not generated sales revenues, has incurred expenses and has sustained losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from inception through June 30, 2009, the Company has accumulated losses of $62,101,416.
The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company, including Tamm Oil and Gas Corp., its wholly-owned subsidiary, Union Energy, LLC (see below). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Acquisition of Union Energy, LLC
On June 12, 2009, the Company acquired Union EnergyLLC, a Colorado limited liability corporation, in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $.80 per share, the fair market value of the stock on that date, for a total investment of $800,000. As part of the acquisition, the Company acquired a 100% working interest in 5,120 acres of oil sands leases in the Province of Alberta.
The total consideration paid was $800,000 and the significant components of the transaction are as follows:
Assets acquired: | | | |
Undeveloped oil sands property lease | | $ | 800,000 | |
Liabilities assumed: | | | ( -0- | ) |
Net: | | $ | 800,000 | |

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Unconventional Oil Sands Properties
Acquisition, exploration and development of oil sands mining activities are capitalized when costs are recoverable and directly result in an identifiable future benefit, following the full cost method of accounting. Improvements that increase capacity or extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Maintenance and turnaround costs are expensed as incurred.
Oil sands properties are assessed, at minimum annually, or as economic events dictate, for potential impairment. Impairment is assessed by comparing the estimated net undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the asset. If required, the impairment recorded is the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Capitalized costs are depleted and depreciated on the unit-of-production method based on the estimated gross proved reserves once determined by the independent petroleum engineers. Depletion and depreciation is calculated using the capitalized costs, including estimated asset retirement costs, plus the estimated future costs to be incurred in developing proved reserves, net of estimated salvage value.
Costs of acquiring and evaluating unproved properties and major development projects are excluded from the depletion and depreciation calculation if and until it is determined whether or not proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. Costs of unproved properties and major development projects are transferred to depletable costs based on the percentage of reserves assigned to each project over the expected total reserves when the project was initiated. These costs are assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment has occurred.
Depletion and amortization of oil and gas properties
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas properties. Under this method, all direct costs and certain indirect costs associated with acquisition of properties and successful as well as unsuccessful exploration and development activities are capitalized. Depreciation, depletion, and amortization of capitalized oil and gas properties and estimated future development costs, excluding unproved properties, are based on the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves.
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets, including unproved properties, to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets”. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency for the Company’s financial statements is the United States dollar. Due to the Company’s foreign operations, certain transactions have been completed in Canadian dollars. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in foreign exchange gains (losses) in the statements of operations.

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company adopted SFAS 130; “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. SFAS 130 establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in the equity of a business during a period, from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners’ sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. SFAS 130 requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.
Net income (loss) per share
The Company computes earnings per share under SFAS 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Net earnings (losses) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares and the exercise of the Company's stock options and warrants (calculated using the treasury stock method). During the three months ended June 30, 2009, outstanding warrants were not considered because the exercise prices exceeded the weighted average common stock price of the Company for the period. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, common stock equivalents are not considered in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding because they would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions and requires that a Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard, effective April 1, 2007, did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements for the prior periods may have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company evaluates the pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the SEC, and the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), to determine the impact of new pronouncements on US GAAP and the impact on the Company.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 will become the source of authoritative US GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for public companies. The codification will supersede all non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the codification will become non-authoritative. The codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this statement.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”), which provides general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This topic was previously addressed only in auditing literature. SFAS 165 is similar to the existing auditing guidance with some exceptions that are not intended to result in significant changes to practice. Entities are now required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, with such date being the date the financial statements were issued or available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective on a prospective basis for interim or annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this statement.

JUNE 30, 2009
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
There were no other accounting standards and interpretations recently issued which are expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN MATTERS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements for the three month and inception to date periods ended June 30, 2009, the Company has incurred losses of $60,608 and $62,101,416, respectively. In addition, as of June 30, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,565,072, and no revenue generating operations. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company is attempting to obtain financing for its operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional equity financing. If operations and cash flows continue to improve through these efforts, management believes that the Company can continue to operate. However, no assurance can be given that management's actions will result in profitable operations or the resolution of its liquidity problems.

General and Background
Overview
We are a petroleum exploration company that seeks to identify, acquire and develop working interests in Canada based oil sands prospects. Oil sands properties are characterized by deposits of bitumen, a form of viscous (relatively high resistance to flow) crude oil.
Our Plan of Operations to Date
To date, we have accomplished the following in our Plan of Operations:
Oil Sands and Petroleum &Natural Gas Interests
We have the following interests:
Province of Alberta
On June 12, 2009, we acquired a 100% working interest in 5,120 acres of oil sands leases in the Province of Alberta, in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of our common stock valued at $800,000.
Peace River – Oil Sands Leases
On January 9, 2008, we acquired a 100% interest in 21 sections of oil sands leases in the Peace River Oil Sands Area at an Alberta Crown Land Sale for $718,903.
Peace River – Petroleum & Natural Gas Leases
On May 28, 2008, we acquired a 100% interest in 14 sections of the petroleum and natural gas (“P&NG”) leases in the Peace River region at an Alberta Crown Land Sale for $374,721
Sawn Lake Oil Sands - Letter Agreement
We entered into a November 7, 2007 letter agreement with Vendors, 1004731 Alberta Ltd. and Muzz Investments Inc., whereby the Vendors agreed to sell, assign and transfer to us, their entire right, title and interest in a December 12, 2003 royalty agreement made between Mikwec Energy Canada Ltd. and Nearshore Petroleum Corporation, in exchange for our issuance of 4,000,000 shares of our common stock.
Material Definitive Agreement with Selling Stockholders of 1132559 Alberta Ltd.
On September 5, 2008 we entered into a Material Definitive Agreement with the Selling Stockholders of 1132559 Alberta Ltd , which provided that the Selling Stockholders would agree to transfer to us all of the issued and outstanding shares held by them subject to the following, among other conditions, being met:
(i) | Issue 15,000,000 shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholders; a portion of these shares have been issued In Trust, pending completion of all conditions; |
(ii) | TAMM total debt to be a maximum of $3,750,000; |
(iii) | The satisfactory completion of the parties due diligence investigations; and |
(iv) | 1132559 Alberta Ltd. preparing financial statements required under applicable securities laws. |
Both TAMM and 113 Alberta Ltd. reviewed the terms of the Agreement, taking into consideration the change in the global economic situation and decrease in current oil prices. The companies agree in principle that progression forward should be beneficial to both parties. However as of April 27, 2009, both parties decided to rescind the agreement as if it had never happened. 1132559 Alberta Ltd. is a private company incorporated under the laws of Alberta and holds a direct working interest of 10% in 63 sections of oil sands leases in the Sawn Lake area in Northern Alberta.
Our Plan of Operations Going Forward
Our primary operational focus is the Peace River/Manning project. On May 28, 2008, we purchased 14 sections of the P&NG leases at an Alberta Crown land sale which leases are adjacent to our existing 21 sections of oil sands leases in the Peace River region of Northern Alberta. With this latest acquisition, we now have a 100% working interest in 35 sections in the Peace River region, or approximately 22,400 acres. An independent engineering report was completed in 2008 on the newly acquired adjacent 14 sections of leases for the determination of heavy oil in place for the 35 sections.
We intend to further expand our interests in oil sands properties through Alberta Crown Land Sales and/or purchasing interests from other companies that currently hold interests in oil sands properties. To assess our prospects and acquisitions, we will contractually engage geologists and geophysicists to provide geological evaluations. Presently, our costs are uncertain because they are contingent upon the results of our information and data/collection to confirm whether we have a viable prospect, which will be determined by: (a) our contracted geologists and geophysicists that provide geological evaluations; (b) geological data results and related information/data that we obtain through: (i) the public domain; (ii) our acquisition of data from private firms; and (c) field activities, such as seismic surveys, that we may conduct to gather specific information, for the purpose of modeling the underlying geological structure.
We will continually adjust our Plan of Operations based on this comprehensive analysis, the extent and quality of the available data, and other factors, such as applying risk assessment and cost analyses, to determine which of the following activities we will engage in:
Geological study of underground layers of rock in search for structural or stratigraphic traps that are favorable for the accumulation of hydrocarbons and ultimately determine locations for drilling.
The accurate measurement and recording of certain physical quantities of underground layers of rock; geophysical methods, such as seismic, to locate probable reservoir structures capable of producing commercial quantities of natural gas and/or crude oil.
Surveys to gather and record the patterns of induced shock wave reflections from underground layers of rock. Seismic surveys are used to create detailed models of the underlying geological structure used in the exploration and development of hydrocarbons.
A drilling operation to obtain continuous cylinders of rock, usually from two to four inches in diameter, cut from the bottom of a well-bore; cores are cut during the drilling of a well and are used in the study of underground formations.
· | Exploratory Well Drilling |
A well drilled either in search of new and yet undiscovered accumulations of oil and gas, or in an attempt to significantly extend the limits of a known reservoir.

Revenue
We are currently a development stage company conducting exploration activities and we have not earned any revenues since our inception. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production of our oil and gas projects, if ever. Even if we discover such commercially exploitable resources, we will have to determine whether the project is economically feasible.
Capital Expenditures and Requirements
At the present time, we have no capital commitments or expenditures, although we anticipate that we will have both expenditures at certain stages of our operational plan.
Expenses
Our operating expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $488,051 or 91.1% to $47,830 from $535,881 for the comparable 2008 three-month period. This decrease is primarily a result of decreased professional and consulting fees for the current period. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company incurred approximately $349,547 in legal fees, primarily for the litigation with Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Deep Well”) but this figure also includes SEC Counsel and other corporate matters, geological and engineering consulting fees, and consulting fees paid to the officers and/or directors in lieu of salaries.
Net Loss
Our net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $486,853 or 88.9% to $60,608 from $547,461 for the comparable 2008 period. This decrease is primarily a result of reduced legal and other professional fees during the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period last year.
Trends and Uncertainties
We are subject to the following trends and uncertainties:
| · | Adverse weather conditions that may affect our ability to conduct our exploration activities; |
| · | General economic conditions, including supply and demand for petroleum based products in Canada, the United States, and remaining parts of the world; |
| · | Political instability in the Middle East and other major oil and gas producing regions; |
| · | Domestic and foreign tax policy; |
| · | Price of oil and gas foreign imports; |
| · | Cost of exploring for, producing, and delivering oil and gas; |
| · | Overall supply and demand for oil and gas; |
| · | Availability of alternative fuel sources; |
| · | Discovery rate of new oil and gas reserves; and |
| · | Pace adopted by foreign governments for the exploration, development and production of their national reserves. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Current Assets, Current Liabilities, and Working Capital
Our working capital deficit increased by 6.9% for the three month period ended June 30, 2009. The details are as follows:
| | As of June 30, 2009 | | | As of March 31, 2009 | | Percentage Increase (decrease) | |
| | | | | | | | |
Current Assets | | $ | 6,864 | | | $ | 18,347 | | | | (63 | )% |
Current Liabilities | | | 1,571,936 | | | | 1,482,373 | | | | 6 | % |
Working Capital (Deficit) | | $ | (1,565,072 | ) | | $ | (1,464,026 | ) | | | (7 | )% |
Our working capital deficit increased primarily because we incurred increased accounts payable, primarily due to professional fees.
Cash Flows
| | Three Months Ended | | | Three Months Ended | |
| | June 30, 2009 | | | June 30, 2008 | |
Cash Flows provided by (used in) Operating Activities | | $ | 43,798 | | | $ | (428,318 | ) |
Cash Flows (used in) Investing Activities | | | - | | | | (374,883 | ) |
Cash Flows provided by Financing Activities | | | - | | | | 750,000 | |
Effect of currency rate change on cash | | | (40,461 | ) | | | 415 | |
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash During Period | | $ | 3,337 | | | $ | (52,786 | ) |
We will require additional financing to proceed with our Plan of Operations over the next twelve months. Our cash requirements are in excess of our current cash and working capital resources. Accordingly, we will require additional financing in order to continue operations. There is no assurance that any party will advance additional funds to us or we will be able to raise sufficient funds from an equity financing to enable us to sustain our Plan of Operations.
Future Financings
We will have to secure additional financing in the next 12 months in order to complete our Plan of Operations, which we may be unable to secure. We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing and we have no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with our plan of operations. We will likely rely on equity sales of our common stock to fund our operations, resulting in dilution to our existing stockholders.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Going Concern
During the period October 10, 2005 (inception) to June 30, 2009, we generated no revenue and we had an accumulated deficit of $62,101,416. We will need significant financing to implement our business plan. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from our possible inability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 4T.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2009.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our management team will continue to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting throughout 2009.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as described below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
