RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this Prospectus and any other filings we may make with the SEC in the future before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and negatively effected. If our common stock becomes quoted on the Over-The Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTC-BB”), the trading price of such common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and Investors may lose all or part of their investment.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND BUSINESS MODEL
If We Do Not Obtain Additional Financing Our Business May Fail
As of April 30, 2008 the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $327. Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the production, drilling and completion operations of its leasehold properties (the “Properties”). We will require additional financing in order to complete these activities as outlined in our Plan of Operation (see “Managements Discuss and Analysis”). In addition, we will require additional third-party financing to sustain
3
our business operations if we are not successful in generating sufficient revenues from our operations. We do not currently have any arrangements for such financing and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including market prices for oil and gas, investor endorsement of our business, operations and Properties, and investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us on terms beneficial to the Company.
If the Company requires additional funding in the future, the Company may be forced to conduct additional offerings of its equity securities. Any additional sales of the Company’s capital stock will result in dilution to then existing shareholders. Another potential, although not currently contemplated, source of financing for the Company may be the offering by us of an interest in our properties to be earned by another party or parties carrying out further development and drilling thereof. Another alternative form of third-party financing would be to potentially borrow funds. There is no assurances the Company could acquire such loans on terms that would be beneficial or acceptable to the Company. Any third-party financings would likely reduce the amount of cash flow available for operations as funds would be diverted to pay back the amount borrowed (and any interest due thereon).
We may be subject to environmental risks that may be financially burdensome
We are subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with environmental compliance that could occur as a result of our business activities. To the extent that we are subject to environmental liabilities, the payment of such liabilities or the costs that we may incur to remedy any non-compliance with environmental laws would reduce funds otherwise available to us and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. If we are unable to fully remedy an environmental problem, we might be required to suspend operations or enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy. The potential exposure may be significant and could have a material adverse effect on us. We have not purchased insurance for environmental risks (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration) because it is not generally available at a reasonable price or at all.
The oil and gas business is highly competitive
For the foreseeable future, we expect to be at a competitive disadvantage in at least the following areas of our business: (a) seeking to acquire suitable oil and/or gas drilling prospects; (b) undertaking exploration and development; and (c) acquiring any needed additional financing. Our preliminary decisions regarding acquiring or leasing of properties is based in part upon publicly available geological information; as such the information is also available to our competitors. In addition, we compete with large oil and gas companies which have longer operating histories and greater financial resources than we do. These disadvantages could create negative results for our business plan and future operations.
4
Our ability to reach and maintain profitable operating results is dependant on our ability to find, acquire, and develop oil and gas properties
Our future performance depends upon our ability to find, acquire, and develop oil and gas reserves that are economically recoverable. If we are not successful in our exploration and acquisition activities, we cannot develop reserves or generate revenues sufficient to operate profitably. We cannot assure Investors that we will be successful in finding, acquiring, leasing and/or developing any properties and/or reserves on terms that are beneficial or acceptable to the Company. We also cannot assure that commercially sufficient quantities of oil or gas deposits will be discovered or produced. We do not have an established history of locating and developing properties that have economically feasible oil and gas reserves.
When we make the determination to invest in oil or gas properties we rely upon geological and engineering estimates which involve a high level of uncertainty
In addition to being publicly available, the geologic and engineering data we will be relying upon can also be unreliable in their estimates of the existence and/or amount of reserves of oil or gas located in a particular region and the amount of any such deposits which may be economically recoverable. Recoverability is ultimately subject to the accuracy of data including, but not limited to, geological characteristics of the reservoir, structure, reservoir fluid properties, the size and boundaries of the drainage area, reservoir pressure, and the anticipated rate of pressure depletion. Accordingly, reserve estimates may be subject to downward adjustment. Actual production, revenue and expenditures will likely vary from estimates, and such variances may be material.
Our financial condition will deteriorate if we are unable to retain our interests in our leased oil and gas properties
All of our properties are held under interests in oil and gas mineral leases. If we fail to meet the specific requirements of each lease, the lease may be terminated or otherwise expire. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet our obligations under each lease. The termination or expiration of our “working interests” (Interests created by the execution of an oil and gas lease) relating to these leases would impair our financial condition and results of operations.
We will need significant additional funds to meet capital calls, drilling and other production costs in our effort to explore, produce, develop and sell the natural gas and oil produced by our leases. We may not be able to obtain any such additional funds on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Title deficiencies could render our oil and gas leases worthless; thus damaging the financial condition of the business
The existence of a material title deficiency can render a lease worthless, resulting in a large expense to our business. We anticipate that commercially reasonable examinations of title will take place prior to any well(s) being drilled. However, even after taking such precautions there may still arise issues with respect to deficiencies in the marketability of title to the leases and/or
5
leasehold properties. Any such deficiencies could make the applicable leases worthless which may have a negative impact on our business operations.
Reliance on certain third parties could negatively impact our business plan
Because we posses limited capital and human resources we will be forced to rely on third parties for certain business activities which may include but not be limited to: drilling, exploration and other operational services. While relying on third-parties may save the Company’s limited financial resources, it could expose the Company to greater risks if we are unable to find qualified and/or reliable third-parties to work with; if we cannot compensate such third-parties; or if the third-parties are negligent or otherwise deficient in the provision of their products and/or services.
Furthermore, the use of third-parties may also have the negative effect of minimizing our ability to control the work being performed by such third-parties. If any of these relationships with third-party service providers are terminated or are unavailable on commercially acceptable terms, our business plan will be adversely affected.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR MARKET AND STRATEGY
If We Are Unable To Hire And Retain Key Personnel We May Not Be Able To Implement Our Business Plan And Our Business May Fail
Many early stage companies are reliant upon their key personnel. This is particularly true in highly specialized businesses such as mineral exploration. Our success will be largely dependent on our ability to hire and retain highly qualified personnel. These individuals may be in high demand and we may not be able to attract and/or retain the staff we need. In addition, we may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by qualified personnel, or may lose such employees after they are hired. Currently, we have not hired any key personnel. Our failure to hire key personnel when needed would have a significant negative effect on our business.
If we as operators, or our operators of our oil and gas projects fail to maintain adequate insurance, our business could be exposed to significant losses
Our oil and gas projects are subject to risks inherent in the oil and gas industry. These risks involve explosions, uncontrollable flows of oil, gas or well fluids, fires, pollution, earthquakes and other environmental issues. These risks could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage. If any of these or other types of losses occur (and whether or not there is insurance to cover such losses) it will likely have a negative affect on our ability to actively operate our business.
6
Because Market Factors in the Oil and Gas Business Are Largely Out of Our Control We May Not Be Able To Sell Gas at Favourable Prices
Prices for natural gas are currently at around 22.8 Tcf. While prices are expected to rise, there is no guarantee that prices will climb, or even remain at their current level. Should prices decline, wells to be drilled may not bring as much in revenues as expected. Should market prices fall, we may not be able to meet expected expenses and we may be forced to curtail or suspend our active business operations.
RISKS RELATED TO LEGAL UNCERTAINTY
Any Burdensome Government Regulation Or Other Legal Uncertainties May Negatively Affect Our Business
To date, there are several governmental regulations that have materially restricted the use and development of mined ore. In addition, the legal and regulatory environment that pertains to the exploration of ore is uncertain and may change. Uncertainty and new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from exploring or developing ore deposits. The growth of demand for ore may also be significantly slowed. This could delay growth in potential demand for and limit our ability to generate revenues. In addition to new laws and regulations being adopted, existing laws may be applied to drilling that has not as yet been applied. These new laws may increase our cost of doing business with the result that our financial condition and operating results may be harmed.
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING
The Company’s Directors and Officers Control a Majority of the Outstanding Shares of the Company and Therefore Control the Company’s Activities
Mr. Gordon L. Wiltse, our President and director, owns approximately 28.2% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, he will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. Other shareholders may not agree with decisions made by Mr. Wiltse, in his capacity as an officer or director, but because Mr. Wiltse owns 28.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, the ability of other shareholders to remove and replace Mr. Wiltse as a director and/or officer will be greatly circumscribed.
Board of Directors Approve Own Compensation
The Board of Directors also comprise the officers of the Company. As such, the Board of Directors approves the salaries of the officers; in effect the Board approves its own salaries. As such, there is no member of the Board of Directors that is independent. The Company has not yet adopted a written conflicts of interest policy, to insure that there is independent analysis of officer salaries, director compensation and related party contracts. To date, no written agreements have been executed between management, the Board and the Company. It is the
7
practice of the Company not to enter into written compensation agreements with its officers and directors.
Dependence on Key Personnel
The Company’s success depends to a significant extent upon the efforts and abilities of its founders, Messrs. Wiltse and Paulson. The loss of either of these individuals could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s Business and result of Operations.
Mr. Wiltse presently spends approximately 50% of his business time on business management services for our company. While Mr. Wiltse presently possesses adequate time to attend to our interests, it is possible that increased demands on Mr. Wiltse from his other obligations could diminish the amount of time he can devote to the management of our business. In addition, Mr. Wiltse may not possess sufficient time for our business if the demands of managing our business increased substantially beyond current levels. Competing demands may negatively affect Mr. Wiltse’s management activities for the Company.
Mr. Dale Paulson, a Company director and its Vice-President and Secretary, owns approximately 28.2% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, he will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. Other shareholders may not agree with decisions made by Mr. Paulson, in his capacity as an officer or director, but because Mr. Paulson owns 28.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, the ability of other shareholders to remove and replace Mr. Paulson as a director and/or officer will be greatly circumscribed. Mr. Paulson presently spends approximately 50% of his business time on business management services for our company. While Mr. Paulson presently possesses adequate time to attend to our interests, it is possible that increased demands on Mr. Paulson from his other obligations could diminish the amount of time Mr. Paulson can devote to the management of our business. In addition, Mr. Paulson may not possess sufficient time for our business if the demands of managing our business increased substantially beyond current levels. Competing demands on Mr. Paulson’s business time may negatively affect his management activities for the Company.
If A Market for Our Common Stock Ever Develops Our Stock Price May Be Volatile
There is currently no market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance to Investors that a market will develop. If a market does develop, however, we anticipate that the market price of our common stock will be subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including:
(1)
actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations;
(2)
our ability or inability to generate new revenues;
(3)
increased competition; and
(4)
conditions and trends in the mining industry.
8
Further, if our common stock is ever quoted on the OTC-BB, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We can provide no assurance to investors that our common stock will be traded on the OTC-BB.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us described in the Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
9
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares offered through this Prospectus by the Selling Shareholders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Westland intends to apply for quotation on the OTC-BB, or listing on a similar exchange. Until such time as a listing is approved, Selling Shareholders will sell their stock $0.05 per share. The Offering Price was set by the Board of Directors based on the price of the most recent sales of the Company’s stock. If quotation is obtained on the OTC-BB (or listed on a similar exchange), the Offering Price will be determined by market factors and the independent decisions of the Selling Shareholders.
DILUTION
The Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholders are shares of the Company’s common stock that are currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The Selling Shareholders named in this Prospectus are offering all of the 7,414,774 Shares of common stock offered. The shares include the following:
(A)
6,705,000 shares of our common stock were acquired from us in an offering completed in May, 2003 that was exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1993 (the “Securities Act”). These shares were subsequently reduced to 1,341,000 shares by means of a reverse split. Those 1,341,000 shares are being offered pursuant to this Prospectus.
(B)
4,703,774 shares of our common stock are being offered pursuant to this Prospectus that were acquired from us in an offering completed in April, 2004 that was exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act; and
(C)
1,370,000 shares of our common stock are being offered pursuant to this Prospectus that were acquired from us in an offering completed in December, 2007 that was exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act.
The following table provides, as of August 4, 2008, information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock held by each of the Selling Shareholders, including:
(A)
the number of shares, of common stock, owned by each prior to this Offering;
(B)
the total number of Shares that are to be offered by each;
10
(C)
the total number of shares, of common stock, that will be owned by each upon completion of the Offering;
(D)
the percentage of total shares, of common stock, owned by each upon completion of the Offering; and
(E)
the identity of the beneficial holder of any entity that owns shares.
To the best of our knowledge, the named parties in this table beneficially own and have sole voting and investment power over all Shares or rights to their Shares. Also in calculating the number of shares of our common stock that will be owned upon completion of this Offering, we have assumed that none of the Selling Shareholders sells shares of common stock not being offered in this Prospectus or purchases additional shares of common stock, and have assumed that all Shares offered are sold. We have based the percentage owned by each on 17,074,774 shares of common stock outstanding on April 30, 2008.

To our knowledge, none of the Selling Shareholders:
(1)
has had a material relationship with Westland, other than as a shareholder as noted above, at any time within the past three years; or
(2)
has ever been an officer or director of Westland, except as noted above.
None of the Selling Shareholders are related to the directors or officers.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Until the Company's common stock is quoted on the OTC-BB or listed via another trading venue, the Selling Shareholders will sell their stock at $0.05 per share. Once the Company's stock is approved for quotation on the OTC-BB (or listed on a similar trading venue), the Selling Shareholders will be free to offer and sell their Shares at such times, in such manner and at such prices as they may determine. They may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions:
(1)
on such public markets or exchanges as the common stock may from time to time be trading;
(2)
in privately negotiated transactions;
(3)
through the writing of options on the common stock;
(4)
in short sales; or
26
(5)
in any combination of these methods of distribution.
The sales price to the public may be:
(1)
the market price prevailing at the time of sale;
(2)
a price related to such prevailing market price; or
(3)
such other price as the selling shareholders determine from time to time.
The Shares may also be sold in compliance with the SEC’s Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act.
The Selling Shareholders may also sell their Shares directly to market makers acting as principals or brokers or dealers, who may act as agent or acquire the common stock as a principal. Any broker or dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive a commission from the Selling Shareholders, or, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such common stock, from such purchaser. The Selling Shareholders will likely pay the usual and customary brokerage fees for such services. Brokers or dealers may agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of Shares at a stipulated price per Share and, to the extent such broker or dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the Selling Shareholders, to purchase, as principal, any unsold Shares at the price required to fulfill the respective broker's or dealer's commitment to the Selling Shareholders. Brokers or dealers who acquire Shares as principals may thereafter resell such Shares from time to time in transactions in a market or on an exchange, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such re-sales may pay or receive commissions to or from the purchasers of such Shares. These transactions may involve cross and block transactions that may involve sales to and through other brokers or dealers. If applicable, the Selling Shareholders also may have distributed, or may distribute, Shares to one or more of their partners who are unaffiliated with us. Such partners may, in turn, distribute such Shares as described above. We can provide no assurance that all or any of the Shares offered will be sold by the Selling Shareholders.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the Shares. Any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the Shares, however, will be borne by the Selling Shareholders or other party selling such common stock.
The Selling Shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) in the offer and sale of their Shares. In particular, during such times as the Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the Shares, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other things:
(1)
not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock;
(2)
furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and
27
(3)
not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Exchange Act.

INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRANT
We are a Nevada corporation incorporated on March 18, 2003 as Lions Petroleum, Corp. On March 31, 2007, we changed our name to Westland Resources, Corp. Our principal executive offices are located at 3155 E. Patrick Lane, Suite 1, Las Vegas, NV 89120. Our telephone number is (702) 386-5394.
Description Of Business
We are in the business of oil and gas well drilling and acquisition. Management’s focus is on identifying projects that have low risk, such as off-set wells and re-entry of existing wells.
The Company has chosen this business model because it reduces the risk factors involved in acquiring and developing a project on its own. By partnering with other interested parties, the cost of these wells can be shared. The wells are chosen next to producing fields that have a history of success.
Since inception, the Company has been involved with Martex, and Cummings Co. and subsequently Lexus Oil & Gas in developing the Marble Falls lime structure in northwest Palo Pinto County, Texas. Recently, Westland partnered in five wells in Palo Pinto County with varying degrees of success. To date, the Company has not drilled or participated in the drilling of any wells and has not produced or sold any gas or oil from producing wells.
29
History & Background
The Company was originally incorporated as Lions Petroleum Corp. with the intent of merging with and into Lions Petroleum, Inc. (a Delaware corporation). The Company loaned Lions Petroleum, Inc. funds to assist in the early stages of their business plan. Subsequently, the principals of each corporation terminated discussions and each corporation pursued separate business plans. The Board of Directors approved a proposal to accept shares of Lions Petroleum, Inc. in consideration of monies due. Please see Transactions with Related Parties below. There are no other arrangements or agreements between the two corporations.
On March 31, 2003, The Company entered into a leasehold ownership agreement in conjunction with the Cummings Company of Forth Worth, Texas. This agreement allowed them to acquire the right to an assignment of 100% of all leasehold interests and 80% of all net revenue interests in the Bridges lease, located in Palo Pinto County, TX.
The Company entered into an 8.5% working interest and a 6.8% net revenue interest in the W.C. Bridges #1 Well. Subsequently the Company entered into an agreement to participate in two wells (The Bridges #4 and the Hinkson #3) on a 10% working interest with 8% net revenue.
On May 21, 2003, the Company entered into and completed agreements to participate in the Bridges #1 (8.5% working interest, 6.8% net revenue interest) Well, the Bridges #7 and #8 and the Hinkson #3 (10% working interest, 8% net revenue interest) Wells located in Palo Pinto County, Texas.
The Bridges project is a multi-play area with proven production from the Shallow Strawn Sands formation from 1800 feet in depth through the Big Saline Conglomerates at approximately 4,000 feet, to Mississippian Chappel Reefs at 4,500 feet in depth. The objective for this project was the previously overlooked zone of interest, the Marble Falls, located below these conglomerates.
In May, 2005, Westland Resources sold its interest in the bridges #7 and #3 for the equivalent of $65,000. The Company has maintained its interest in two wells in Palo Pinto County, Texas: the W.C. Bridges #1 and the ImaBridges #2.
Compliance with Government Regulation
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to oil and gas production in the United States generally, as well as all State, County or other local oil and gas production and land use related laws specifically. We can provide no assurance to Investors that such approvals will be obtained. The cost and delay involved in attempting to obtain such approvals cannot be known at this time.
We have budgeted for regulatory compliance costs in the proposed work program recommended by the geological report. We will have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental mediation for all exploration (and development) work undertaken. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the acquisition costs.
30

Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

31
our common stock will be quoted on the OTC:BB or, if quoted, that a public market will materialize.

Registration Rights

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that restrict us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
(1) we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
(2) our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities, plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
We have not declared any dividends. We do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Rule 144 Shares
A total of 9,800,000 shares of our common stock will be available for resale to the public after March 8, 2008, in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144 of the Act.

2. the average weekly trading volume of the company's common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Westland Resources Corp.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Westland Resources Corp. (Formerly Lions Petroleum Corp.), an exploration stage company) as of July 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 and the period from March 18, 2003 (Inception) through July 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Westland Resources Corp as of July 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 and the period from March 18, 2003 (Inception) through July 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated significant revenues since inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

WESTLAND RESOURCES CORP.
(Formerly Lions Petroleum Corp.)
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2007
1.
HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 18, 2003 and is in the business of exploring and developing oil and gas properties in the United States. The Company is considered to be an exploration stage company as it has not generated significant revenues from operations.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1,166,580 at July 31, 2007 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations. Management will continue to seek equity financing to fund the development of the exploration activities. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue.
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in United States dollars. The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company are as follows:
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas of estimation include: carrying value and impairment of oil and gas assets, future tax rates to determine deferred tax assets and the useful life of equipment. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Impairment of long lived assets
Equipment are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets.” Under SFAS No. 144, these assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount, if any, when the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value. To date, management has not determined there to be any impairment to equipment.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(cont’d…)
Foreign currency translation
Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing at transaction dates. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the original transaction date. Gains and losses from restatement of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are included in the statement of operations. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates such items are recognized in the statement of operations.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers cash held at banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided for over the estimated useful lives of the assets on a declining balance basis at the following annual rates:
Furniture and equipment
20%
Computer equipment
30%
Marketable securities
Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale, stated at market value as determined by the most recently traded price at the balance sheet date with the change in fair value (unrealized gains or losses) during the period excluded from earnings and recorded net of tax as a component of other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses are recognized in earnings.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes oil and gas revenues from its interests in producing wells as oil and gas is produced and sold from these wells and when ultimate collection is reasonably assured.
Income taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(cont’d…)
Financial instruments
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, marketable securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to and from related parties approximates their carrying value value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company’s operations and financing activities are conducted primarily in United States dollars, and as a result the Company is not subject to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. Management has determined that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.
Net loss per share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share takes into consideration shares of common stock outstanding (computed under basic loss per share) and potentially dilutive shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share is not presented separately from basic net loss per share as the conversion of outstanding convertible debentures into common shares would be anti-dilutive.
Oil and gas exploration costs
The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas operations whereby all cost related to the acquisition of petroleum and natural gas interests are capitalized. Such costs include land and lease acquisition costs, annual carrying charges of non-producing properties, geological and geophysical costs, costs of drilling and equipping productive and non-productive wells, and direct exploration salaries and related benefits. Proceeds from the disposal of oil and gas properties are recorded as a reduction of the related capitalized costs.
The Company applies a ceiling test to capitalized costs to ensure that such costs do not exceed estimated future net revenues from production of proven reserves at year end. If capitalized costs are determined to exceed estimated future net revenues, an impairment of the carrying value is charged in the period.
Stock-based compensation
Effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payments”, using the modified prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost is recognized for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and the compensation cost of all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.
SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and instead requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards.
To date the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date.

Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets. The adoption of this standard has had no effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. To July 31, 2007 any potential costs relating to the ultimate disposition of the Company's mineral property interests have not yet been determinable.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R,Business Combinations. SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting. It changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. The statement will apply prospectively to business combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning November 1, 2009. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 141R will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 160 will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. They may not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2007 included in the Company’s Form S-110-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the Form S-110-KSB. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending JulyAugust 31, 2008.
2.
COMMON STOCK
During the nine month period ended April 30, 2008, the Company completed a private placement of 1,430,000 of its common stock at a price of $0.05 per share, for total proceeds of $71,500.
3.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Subsequent to the period ended April 30, 2008, the Company’s officers agreed to cancel 6,171,430 shares they received from the Company in settlement of management fees owing to them. The fair value of the shares at settlement date exceeded the total management fees owing to the officers, resulting in a loss on debt settlement of $432,000. The cancellation of 6,171,430 shares will offset the loss resulting from the debt settlement.
51
Plan Of Operation
Westland Resources intends to continue its investment in Palo Pinto County and its partnership with Lexus oil and gas. Additional wells may be drilled if the projects are viable.
Westland also intends to seek out new opportunities in Western Canada and the western U.S., joint venturing with new partners.
An evaluation process has started with the third party assessment on various opportunities in Northern British Columbia, the Rocky Mountain areas of the United States, and Northwest Texas.
Projection for the future
Our plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this prospectus is to continue trying to upgrade our investment in Palo Pinto county Texas and our partnership with Lexus Oil and Gas. We will examine ways to increase production on our existing wells through standard maintenance techniques.
Westland intends to examine other joint venture opportunities in and around the Gulf coast area of Texas with Sun Coast Technical Services, Inc. of, Plano Texas. Westland will evaluate each project based on a risk reward model put forward to us from geo technical surveying of the areas and historical production in the chosen fields. Upon acceptable due diligence, Westland anticipates to joint venture with the operator no more than 15% working interest in any one well. The initial cost projection to accomplish this over the next twelve months is $100,000. Based on previous experience in the areas, $100,000 should gain us a minority interest in up to three wells.
The projects that the company is looking to participate in are low risk wells with desired production no less than 300mcf per day per well. At these rates Westland can project a payback rate in the range of 60months.
Westland intends to consult with Eric Olson of Jake Oil on a number of projects in the Wyoming basin. The consultants will be paid a consulting fee according to industry standards. Total expenditures over the next twelve months are expected to be around $100,000. We will require additional funding to cover our administrative expenses and additional exploration and or joint ventures. We anticipate additional funding will be required in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock, however we do not have any arrangements in place for future equity financing. If we are unable to secure additional funding to pursue exploration and or joint ventures there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
One to Three years
The Company intends to drill in excess of a dozen wells. The preferred area for exploration and or joint venture is expected to be in Texas and Western Canada. Westland may acquire the leases in Canada through exploration permits that are gained through a bidding process and held by exploration dollar commitments. Westland will pursue minority joint venture opportunities in
52
Texas with its proven partners. Given the probability of moderate success on these projects, the Company feels that it would be able to finance its future drilling through cash flow as opposed to subsequent equity financing.

corporation currently listed on the Pink Sheets under the symbol LPET. From February, 2004 to October, 2005, he was also a director and Vice-President of Panterra Resource Corp., a Canadian public company trading on the TSX Venture Exchange. Mr. Paulson holds a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration from Simon Fraser University and a Diploma from the Canadian Securities Institute.
Term of Office
Our directors are elected for one-year terms, to hold office until the next annual general meeting of the shareholders, or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
Legal Proceedings
None of the officers, directors, control persons or promoters of the Company has been involved in any legal proceedings involving any bankruptcy, criminal proceeding, court orders barring involvement in business activities, and none of them have been found to have violated any federal or state securities or commodities law.
Significant Employees
We have no significant employees other than the officers and directors described above.
Conflicts of Interest
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company does not have a written Conflicts of Interest Policy. The Company is aware of two potential conflicts of interest. First, the Board of directors consists solely of the Company’s Officers and Directors. The Board of Directors approves all compensation paid to its officers, essentially giving its Officers sole control over their own compensation packages.
Second, Gordon Wiltse, President of Westland, is also President and a director of Lions Petroleum, Inc., a public company which trades on the Pink Sheet quotations system under the symbol of LPET. Dale Paulson is also a director of Lions Petroleum, Inc. Both Messrs Wiltse and Paulson spend less than one-half time as an officer and directors, respectively, of Lions Petroleum, Inc. It is anticipated that Messrs Wiltse and Paulson will devote less than half-time to Westland for the next 6 months. It is possible that the time constraints with being involved with two public companies might make it difficult to serve both companies effectively, although both directors believe that such a conflict will not adversely affect their position with Westland. It is not expected that Messrs. Wiltse and Paulson will continue with Lions Petroleum indefinitely.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors has not established any committees, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee, or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by the
54
entire board as a whole. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our Board of Directors as a whole. Further, we plan on applying to have our stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which does not have any qualitative requirements mandating the establishment of any particular committees.
We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our shareholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our Board of Directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our shareholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our Board has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any shareholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors. Given the nature of our operations and lack of directors and officers insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our shareholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.
None of our directors is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K. In general, an “audit committee financial expert” is an individual member of the audit committee or Board of Directors who:
•
understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements,
•
is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves,
•
has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements,
•
understands internal controls over financial reporting, and
•
understands audit committee functions.
We believe that the members of our Board of Directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances.
Director Independence
Our Board of Directors has determined that it does not have a member that is “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Transactions with Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Persons
The Company has accrued $120,000 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, in management fees to Gordon L. Wiltse and Dale Paulson, officers of the Company for services rendered as officers. The Company also issued 9,600,000 shares of restricted common stock to Gordon L. Wiltse and Dale Paulson in settlement of $240,000 due in management fees for services as officers of the Company. The shares were issued at $0.07 per share for a total value of $672,000 resulting in loss on debt settlement to related parties of $432,000. The Board of Directors approved the issuance of stock in lieu of management fees in October, 2007 at $0.07 per share, based on the offering being completed at that time. Subsequent to the quarter ended April 30, 2008, Mssrs. Paulson and Wiltse returned 6,171,430 of these shares, offsetting the loss resulting from the debt settlement. The shares carry the same rights and privileges of shares offered hereunder. See Description of Securities Section for additional details and rights of the shares. In general, officers and directors are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Company, raising money for operation costs and locating potential projects for the Company.
The Company received 170,000 shares from Lions Petroleum, Inc., a publicly traded company with common directors and officers, in settlement of $128,679 owed to the Company by Lions Petroleum, Inc., with a fair value of $161,500 or $0.95 per share resulting in a gain on debt settlement of $32,821. The fair value at year end was $30,600 or $0.18 per share.
Other than as set forth in this section, none of the following parties has, since our date of incorporation, any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with us or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect us:
* Any of our directors or officers;
58
* Any person proposed as a nominee for election as a director;
* Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to our outstanding shares of common stock;
* Any of our promoters;
* Any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons who has the same house as such person.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws. We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court's decision.
59
PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION
The estimated costs of this offering are as follows:
Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee*
* All amounts are estimates other than the Commission's registration fee.
We are paying all expenses of the offering listed above. No portion of these expenses will be borne by the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any other expenses incurred in selling their common stock, including any brokerage commissions or costs of sale.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws.
Under the NRS, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's articles of incorporation that is not the case with our Articles of Incorporation. Excepted from that immunity are:
(1) a wilful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest;
(2) a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful);
(3) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and
(4) wilful misconduct.
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless:
60
(1) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law;
(2) the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors;
(3) such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law; or
(4) such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.
Our bylaws provide that we will advance all expenses incurred to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request. This advance of expenses is to be made upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts should it be ultimately determined that the person was not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.
Our bylaws also provide that no advance shall be made by us to any officer in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding; or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to our best interests.

61
Each purchaser represented to us that the purchaser was a Non-US Person as defined in Regulation S. We did not engage in a distribution of these offerings in the United States. Each purchaser represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view toward distribution.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to:
(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by, Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
62
than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§230.424 of this chapter);
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(§230.424(b) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
