NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
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 financial statements follows:
General
The interim condensed 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, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended March 31, 2009. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the dated March 31, 2008 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC on July 14, 2008.
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 No. 7 (“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, 2008, the Company has accumulated losses of $61,356,130.
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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair Values
Effective for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157) as amended by FASB Statement of Position (FSP) FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. FSP FAS 157-2 delays, until the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the effective date for SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operations.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130; “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (SFAS) No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in 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 No. 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (“SFAS 128”). 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 month period ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, 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.
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.

NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Recent accounting pronouncements
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3,“Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142,“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. We are required to adopt FSP 142-3 on September 1, 2009, earlier adoption is prohibited. The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) " ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
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 period ended June 30, 2008, the Company has incurred a loss of $547,461. This factor, among others, indicates 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.
NOTE 3 – NOTES PAYABLE TO AFFILIATED ENTITY
During the three month period ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued $1,250,000 of demand notes payable with an interest rate of prime plus 2% per annum. The Company repaid $500,000 of the demand notes during the three month period ended June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, outstanding notes payable on the demand notes totaled $750,000.
The noteholder is a shareholder of 1132559 Alberta, Ltd., an affiliated entity as Alberta and TAMM have officers and/or directors in common.

NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a defendant in pending litigation by Deep Well Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Deep Well”) in the United States District Court of Nevada. The litigation involves an alleged breach by the Company of federal securities law requirements for an alleged tender offer to Deep Well’s shareholders, in addition to claims for fraud and defamation relating to certain press releases and securities law filings of the Company. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and unspecified damages. The Company's position in this litigation is that the subject transactions were private stock exchange agreements between the Company and certain Deep Well shareholders and did not constitute a tender offer. The Company denies the other allegations in the Complaint as well. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss which the Court is scheduled to hear on September 18, 2008. The parties have conducted limited discovery and are briefing Deep Well’s pending motion also for a preliminary injunction. A hearing on that motion is scheduled for September 18, 2008. On July 1, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with the Deep Well shareholders that tendered the Deep Well Shares to the Company providing that the Company will return the Deep Well shares to the former Deep Well shareholders and the Deep Well shareholders will return the TAMM shares to the Company, at which time the Company will retire them.

PLAN OF OPERATION
Overview
We are a petroleum exploration company that seeks to identify, acquire and develop working interests in Canada based oil sands prospects. Oil sand 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:
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 $374,883.
Sawn Lake Oil Sands - Letter Agreement
We entered into a November 26, 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.
Letter of Intent with Selling Stockholders of 1132559 Alberta Ltd.
We have entered into a Letter of Intent with the Selling Stockholders of 1132559 Alberta Ltd , which provides that the Selling Stockholders agree to transfer to us all of the issued and outstanding shares held by them in return of our agreeing to, among other things:
(i) | Issue 15,000,000 shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholders |
(ii) | Complete a 15:1 forward stock split, which occurred in November 2007 |
(iii) | Complete a financing of up to $3,250,000 |
(iv) | Change our name to "TAMM Oil and Gas Corp.", which has been accomplished. |
(v) | Appoint two nominees of the Selling Stockholders to our Board of Directors; William Tighe was nominated and elected to the Board on November 27, 2007 |
The Letter of Intent is further subject to our principal stockholder submitting 34,000,000 (post split) shares for cancellation at closing. These shares were returned to the Company in August 2008. Closing of the transactions contemplated in the Letter of Intent is subject to:
(i) | the satisfactory completion of the parties due diligence investigations |
(ii) | 1132559 Alberta Ltd. preparing financial statements required under applicable securities laws |
(iii) | the parties enter into a definitive agreement containing customary terms and representations for such agreements |
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 that 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 out 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 the earth’s crust 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 the Earth’s crust; 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
Results of Operations
Three month period ended June 30, 2008 Summary
| | Three month period ended | |
| | June 30, | |
| | 2008 | | 2007 | |
| | | | | |
Revenue | | $ | - | | $ | - | |
Operating Expenses | | | (535,881 | ) | | (14,661 | ) |

Net Loss | | $ | (547,461 | ) | $ | (14,661 | ) |
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, 2008 increased by $521,220 or 3555% to $535,881 from $14,661 for the comparable 2007 three-month period. This increase is primarily a result of increased professional and consulting fees for the current period. The fees increased primarily due to legal expenses of approximately $347,547, primarily for the litigation with Deep Well but 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, 2008 increased by $532,800 or 3634% to $547,461 from $14,661 for the comparable 2007 period. This increase is primarily a result of increased professional and consulting fees for the current period.
We are subject to the following trends and uncertainties:
| · | Adverse weather conditions that will effect 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 42% for the three month ended June 30, 2008. The details are as follows:
| | As at June 30, 2008 | | As at March 31, 2008 | | Percentage Increase (decrease) | |
| | | | | | | |
Current Assets | | $ | 121,741 | | $ | 184,765 | | | (35 | )% |
Current Liabilities | | $ | 883,054 | | $ | 722,126 | | | 23 | % |
Working Capital (Deficit) | | $ | (761,313 | ) | $ | (537,361 | ) | | (42 | )% |
Our working capital deficit increased primarily because: (a) we entered into a loan agreement in the amount of $1,250,000, net of $500,000 repayments; and (b) increased accounts payable, primarily due to legal fees.
Cash Flows
During the three month period ended June 30, 2008, we utilized $428,318 in operating cash principally in payments for professional and consulting fees. Additionally we acquired additional mining properties for $374,883. We met our cash flow needs from notes payable from an affiliated entity, net of repayments, of $750,000.
| | Three Months Ended | | Three Months Ended | |
| | June 30, 2008 | | June 30, 2007 | |
Cash Flows used in Operating Activities | | $ | (428,318 | ) | $ | (2,258 | ) |
Cash Flows used in Investing Activities | | $ | (374,883 | ) | $ | 0 | |
Cash Flows provided by Financing Activities | | $ | 750,000 | | $ | 0 | |
Effect of currency rate change on cash | | $ | 415 | | $ | 0 | |
Net (Decrease) in Cash During Period | | $ | (52,786 | ) | $ | (2,258 | ) |
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.
We are currently planning a winter exploration program consisting of drilling, coring, and testing. This exploration program is tentatively planned for four to six wells, for execution in the upcoming winter drilling season. The exploration program, together with ongoing operations, is expected to require funding of $6,000,000 to $8,000,000 over the next year.
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, 2008, we generated no revenue and we had an accumulated deficit of $61,356,130. 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.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the President/Principle Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the President/Principal Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are a defendant in pending litigation by Deep Well Oil and Gas, Inc. (“Deep Well”) in the United States District Court of Nevada. The litigation involves an alleged breach by us of federal securities law requirements for an alleged tender offer to Deep Well’s shareholders, in addition to claims for fraud and defamation relating to certain press releases and our SEC filings. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and unspecified damages. Our position in this litigation is that the subject transactions were private stock exchange agreements between us and certain Deep Well shareholders and did not constitute a tender offer. We deny the other allegations in the Complaint as well. We have filed a motion to dismiss which the court is scheduled to hear on September 18, 2008. The parties have conducted limited discovery and are briefing Deep Well’s pending motion also for a preliminary injunction. A hearing on that motion is scheduled for September 18, 2008. On July 1, 2008, we entered into an agreement with the Deep Well shareholders that tendered the Deep Well Shares to us providing that we return the Deep Well shares to the former Deep Well shareholders and the Deep Well shareholders will return the TAMM shares to us, at which time we will retire them. We know of no other material, existing or pending legal proceedings against us , nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
