NOTE 3 - Oil and Gas Properties
Disposition of EWA Concession Agreement 20% Working
On March 21, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale with Egypt Oil Holdings Ltd. (Egypt Oil), Sea Dragon Energy Inc. (Sea Dragon) and Dover Investments Ltd. The Agreement, with an effective date of March 21, 2008, was part of a larger transaction (the “Transaction”) that closed on April 24, 2008. The Transaction resulted in the sale of the Company’s 20% working interest in the EWA Concession Agreement (Concession) to Sea Dragon in exchange for satisfaction of the Company’s outstanding “Cash calls payable” ($759,306) related to the Company’s drilling program on the Concession, a cash payment of $100,000 CDN plus 4,000,000 shares of Sea Dragon’s common stock, valued at an estimated $0.15 per share based on a recent share offering of Sea Dragon, a publicly traded Company. Ninety percent of Sea Dragon’s shares received by the Company for this transaction have been placed in escrow. The terms of the escrow call for the release of these shares on the earlier of: (i) the Company announcing the drilling results of the second exploratory well drilled on the Concession (note 5); or (ii) July 31, 2009.
A further $76,667 capitalized prior to April 25, 2008 and subsequently assessed as impaired. The corresponding accounts payable were assumed by EOH as a part of the Purchase and Sale agreement with Egypt Oil and Sea Dragon.
Saskatchewan Exploration Program
The Company commenced an exploration program in 2008 on its leased properties located in eastern Saskatchewan.
The first well encountered a heavily oil stained, marginal reservoir, within the Bakken interval. This well has been suspended. At December 31, 2008 a determination cannot be made about the extent of oil reserves that should be classified as proved reserves as a result pending further analysis expected to be completed in 2009.
The second well has been abandoned after encountering a wet zone at the Bakken reservoir level. Reclamation costs associated with the abandoned well were estimated to be $26,186 and were classified to accounts payable and charged as impaired.
The Company’s exploration program previously announced has changed significantly. Further exploration in Saskatchewan has been postponed as the Company evaluates the results of the wells drilled to date.
Due to expiration of the leased property, a lack of resources and falling oil prices the Company has realized an impairment charge of $1,203,247 related to the expiration of substantially all leased property assets and their related acquisition costs previously capitalized on the balance sheet as Exploration and Evaluation. A further impairment charge of $412,134 has been recognized for the dry hole and other related costs of the 2008 exploration. The suspended well costs have been recorded as a capitalized asset pending determination of reserves.

United States (Excelaron)
On February 12, 2009 the Company entered into an agreement with Excelaron LLC (“Excelaron”), California company, whereby Excelaron has agreed to permit the Company to subscribe for a 40% Members Percentage Interest in Excelaron. In substance the subscription of this interest is contingent upon the Company making a $2,300,000 capital contribution to be used to acquire and develop oil and gas lease agreements that Excelaron has entered into. These leases are located in California. Should the Company not meet the contingent payment amounts its interest in Excelaron would be significantly reduced. For every $250,000 invested below $1,000,000 the company would receive a 2% interest in Excelaron and a 5% for each $250,000 above $1,000,000. As of June 30, 2009 no further investments have been made over and above the initial payment of $175,000.
NOTE 4 - Commitments
Office Lease
The Company rents office space in Seattle, Washington on a month-to-month basis for $400 per month, and $450 per month for office space in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
In November, 2008, the Company entered into a 13 months lease for office space in Toronto, Ontario Canada at a net monthly cost of $3,954 Canadian Funds (approximately $US3,250). This lease expires November, 2009.
NOTE 5 - Contingencies
Environmental Uncertainties
The Company may be exposed to financial risks in the oil and gas exploration business for pollution or hazards against which it cannot adequately insure or which it may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.
Flow-through financing
The Company must meet its obligations linked to the financing on a flow-through basis. The Company raised a total of $804,984 in 2007 and $950,000 in 2008 on a flow-though basis. These amounts have been renounced to investors on a look-back basis. At December 31, 2008 the company estimated that is has spent approximately $847,647 on qualified capital exploration expenditures leaving a commitment of approximately $907,337 that is required to be spent on exploration in Canada in 2009. Should the Company not meet this commitment it may have to adjust the amount of capital exploration expenses renounced to investors and/or be subject to penalties assessed by the Canadian Customs and Revenue Agency.
Governmental Regulations and Licensing
In order to drill for, recover, transport or sell any gas or oil from the properties subject to the Company’s drilling rights, the Company will generally be required to obtain additional licenses and permits and enter into agreements with various landowners and/or government authorities. The issuance of these permits and licenses generally will be contingent upon the consent of the governmental authority having jurisdiction over the property, which entities have broad discretion in determining whether or not to grant such authority. These licenses, permits, and agreements will generally contain numerous restrictions and require payment of development and exploration fees and royalties typically based on the recoverable reserves or expenditures. The amount of any such fee and royalties and other terms will determine in part, the commercial viability of any extraction prospect.
NOTE 6 - Loss Per Share
Loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares issued during the relevant period. The weighted average number of common shares was 57,445,987 for the period ended June 30, 2009.

NOTE 7 - Net Operating Loss Carry-forward
At June 30, 2009, the Company had an estimated net operating loss (NOL) carry-forward of approximately $3,000,000 available to reduce any future taxable income (after adjusting for amounts related to Canadian investor flow-through capital and share based compensation). The NOL carry-forward begins to expire in 2025 and will fully expire in 2028. Because management is unable to determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the tax benefit related to the NOL carry-forward, by having taxable income, a valuation allowance has been established at the balance sheet date to reduce the tax benefit asset value to zero.

To the extent that such statements are not recitations of historical fact, such statements constitute forward-looking statements that, by definition, involve risks and uncertainties. These statements reflect only our current expectations and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are unforeseen, including the risks in Item 1A entitled "Risk Factors," that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

These forward-looking statements are within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our unaudited interim financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report.
In this Quarterly Report, unless otherwise specified, all references to "common shares" refer to common shares in the capital of Mogul Energy International, Inc., and the terms "we" "us" and "our" mean Mogul Energy International, Inc. (the “Company” and “Registrant”).
General Development of Business
We are a Delaware corporation formed on July 25, 2005, with our principal place of business in Seattle, Washington. We also maintain an office in Vancouver, British Columbia and Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We are an independent oil and gas exploration company established to take advantage of low cost acquisition opportunities near other producing and proven oil fields. Since our formation, we have engaged in only limited activities related to the acquisition of our property rights and financing activities. To date, we have not generated any operating revenues. The address of our website is www.mogulenergy.com. Information on our website is not part of this report.
We are an exploration company focused on exploration and acquisition of properties with potential for hydrocarbon (oil and gas) development. Our business strategy is to conduct exploration on our current properties for hyrdrocarbons and expand our business through development of those properties and, if warranted, the acquisition and development of other properties that have:
| § | Low entry cost as measured on a dollar per barrel for proven and potential reserves; |
| § | Ready access to infrastructure allowing for production within a short time period without significant capital commitments; and |
| § | Ready access to local and export markets without the need for immediate investment in pipeline construction projects. |
Initially, we intend to use third-party providers to engage in most if not all of any oil and gas producing activities in which we may engage if our properties reveal the potential for such activity in the future.
Material Changes in Financial Condition and Results of Operations
As at June 30, 2009, we had total assets of $1,073,059 as compared to $1,919,120 at December 31, 2008. Non-Current assets increased to $629,244 with primarily due the addition of our investment of $175,000 for our initial disbursement for our interest in Excelaron LLC.
Mogul Energy International, Inc.
Notes to the June 30, 2009 and 2008 Financial Statements
As at June 30, 2009, we had $210,246 in current liabilities relative to current liabilities of $559,262 at December 31, 2008. Our total liabilities have decreased by approximately $349,016 as we continue to pay payables from our drilling program that ended in December 2008.
The Company report a net loss of $403,134 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, compared to a net gain of $58,964 for the comparable period in 2008. The net gain in the prior period was as a result of the divestiture of the one third interest in the EWA Concession. Expenses in the current period increased 92% for accounting and decrease in 64% for travel and promotion relative to the prior comparable period.
The Company is contemplating further financing through the issuance of common shares, a loan or the possibility of a merger in order to proceed with its business objectives.
We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital. In this regard we have raised and will need to continue to raise additional capital as discussed above.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, a successful program of acquisition and exploration, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
No information is provided under this Item because the Company is a smaller reporting company.
Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required under the Exchange Act, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, being June 30, 2009. We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls and procedures for the financial reporting of our company. Disclosure control and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that we record, process, summarize and report in a timely manner the information that we must disclose in reports that we file with or submit to the SEC. Our management has concluded, based on their evaluation, that as of June 30, 2009, as the result of the material weaknesses described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes. For more information, see Item 9A – Controls and Procedures – in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
