NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Glen Rose Petroleum Corporation’s (the “Company”, “we” or “our”) interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and contain all necessary adjustments(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair statement of the referenced interim period results. These interim period results do not indicate expected full-year results or results for previously reported periods partly due to the volatility in prices for crude oil and natural gas, future commodity prices for commodity derivatives, interest rates, estimates of reserves, drilling risks, geological risks, transportation restrictions, the timing of acquisitions, product demand, market competition, interruption in production, our ability to obtain additional capital, and the success of proposed swabbing enhanced oil recovery work. These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Glen Rose Petroleum Corporation’s Form 10-K dated March 31, 2009.
We prepared the accompanying financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and included the accounts of Glen Rose Petroleum Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. We eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions. Management made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. We made significant assumptions in valuing our unproved oil and natural gas reserves, which may affect the amounts at which oil and natural gas properties are recorded. We computed our stock based compensation expense using assumptions such as volatility, expected life and the risk-free interest rate. We may revise these estimates in the near term and these revisions could be material.
We prepared our financial statements on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred substantial losses from operations and has a working capital deficit which raises substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company had a net loss of $279,004 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and a net loss of $2,181,974 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 and, as of the same periods, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $48,711,774 and $48,432,770, respectively. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company did not raise any gross proceeds of additional equity financing. The Company is currently seeking financing to provide the needed funds to develop its properties and expand. However; the Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to obtain the financing it needs fo r property development and expansion. Until such funding is obtained and/or positive results from planned property development materialize, doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern may remain.
Currently we have one customer who buys 100% of our production.
NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
SFAS No. 161 - In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This Statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
This Statement is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in Statement 133. The Statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This disclosure better conveys the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that the entity is intending to manage. Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format should provide a more complete picture of the location in an entity’s financial statements of both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period. Disclosing information about credit-risk-related contingent features should provide information on the potential effect on an entity’s liquidity from using derivatives. Finally, this Statement requires cross-referencing within the footnotes, which should help users of financial statem ents locate important information about derivative instruments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(Unaudited)
This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption.
The adoption of SFAS No 161 has not had a significant impact on our financial statements.
FASB issued Staff Position No. 142-3 - In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 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 FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. FSP 142-3 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The adoption of FSP 142-3 has not had a significant impact on our financial statements.
FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1 - In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“EITF 03-6-1”). EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in calculating earnings per share under the two-class method described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” EITF 03-6-1 requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividend or dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. EITF 03-6-1 is effective fo r the Company in the first quarter of 2009. The adoption of EITF 03-6-1 has not had a significant impact on our financial statements
SFAS No. 157 - The Company adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS No. 157”) for all financial assets and financial liabilities and for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. The effect on the Company’s periodic fair value measurements for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities was not material.
FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-3 - In October 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Staff Position 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active, (“FSP 157-3”). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active, and addresses application issues such as the use of internal assumptions when relevant observable data does not exist, the use of observable market information when the market is not active, and the use of market quotes when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data. FSP 157-3 is effective for all periods presented in accordance with SFAS No. 157. The adoption of FSP 157-3 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements or the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities.
FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-4 - In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value measurements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157 when there is not an active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance on the major categories for which equity and debt securities disclosures are to be presented and amends the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 157 to require disclosure in interim and annual periods of the inputs and valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs, if any, during the period. FSP FAS 157-4 shall be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity early adopting this FSP must also early adopt FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”). The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

(Unaudited)
FASB issued Staff Position No. 140-4 and FASB Interpretation 46(R)-8 - In December 2008, the FASB issued Financial Staff Position (“FSP”) Financial Accounting Standard No. 140-4 and FASB Interpretation 46(R)-8, Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities (“FSP FAS 140-4” and “FIN 46(R)-8”). The document increases disclosure requirements for public companies and is effective for reporting periods (interim and annual) that end after December 15, 2008. FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 became effective for us on December 31, 2008. The adoption of FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 99-20-1 - In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1, “Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20, and EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets” (“FSP EITF 99-20-1”). FSP EITF 99-20-1 changes the impairment model included within EITF 99-20 to be more consistent with the impairment models of FAS No. 115. FSP EITF 99-20-1 achieves this by amending the impairment model in EITF 99-20 to remove its exclusive reliance on “market participant” estimates of future cash flows used in determining fair value. Changing the cash flows used to analyze other-than-temporary impairment from the “market participant” view to a holder’s estimate of whether there has been a “probable” adverse change in estimated cash flows allows companies to apply reasonable judgment in assessing whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The adoption of FSP EITF 99-20-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
FASB issued Staff Positions No. 115-2 and No. 124-2 - In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2. These FSPs amend SFAS 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,” SFAS 124, “Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations,” and EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to make the other-than-temporary impairments guidance more operational and to improve the presentation of other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements. This FSP will replace the existing requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired debt security until recovery with a requirement that management assert it does not ha ve the intent to sell the security, and it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. This FSP provides increased disclosure about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold and also requires increased and more frequent disclosures regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses. Although this FSP does not result in a change in the carrying amount of debt securities, it does require that the portion of an other-than-temporary impairment not related to a credit loss for a held-to-maturity security be recognized in a new category of other comprehensive income and be amortized over the remaining life of the debt security as an increase in the carrying value of the security. This FSP shall be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity may early adopt this FSP only if it also elects to early adopt FSP FAS 157-4. Also, if an entity elects to early adopt either FSP FAS 157-4 or FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, the entity also is required to early adopt this FSP. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
FASB issued Staff Positions No. 107-1 and No. APB 28-1 - In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 require companies to disclose in interim financial statements the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. However, companies are not required to provide in interim periods the disclosures about the concentration of credit risk of all financial instruments that are currently required in annual financial statements. The fair-value information disclosed in the footnotes must be presented together with the related carrying amount, making it clear whether the fair value and carrying amount represent assets or liabilities and how the carrying amount relat es to what is reported in the balance sheet. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 also require that companies disclose the method or methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and a discussion of changes, if any, in the method or methods and significant assumptions during the period. The FSP shall be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with

early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity early adopting FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 must also early adopt FSP FAS 157-4 as well as FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of this pronouncement in the quarter ended June 30, 2009, in conjunction with the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4, FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2.
SFAS No. 165 - In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 will be effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. The Company has adopted the requirements of this pronouncement in the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
SFAS No. 166 - In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 166”). Statement 166 is a revision to FASB Statement No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 enhances information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and an entity’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 will be effective a t the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 166 will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.
SFAS No. 167 - In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”). Statement 167 is a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003),Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,and changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 will require a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any sign ificant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting entity will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the reporting entity’s financial statements. SFAS 167 will be effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adoption of SFAS 167 on its financial statements.
SFAS No. 168 - In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – A Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). Statement 168 establishes theFASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM(Codification) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 and the Codification are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. When effective, the Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandf athered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. Following SFAS 168, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve only to: (a) update the Codification; (b) provide background information about the guidance; and (c) provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. The adoption of SFAS 168 will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – INVENTORY
Inventory consists of oil in tanks of $9,950 and $10,221 at June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost to produce the oil or the current available sales price.
NOTE 4 – LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic loss per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008. Diluted loss per common share is computed assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued. Diluted loss per share has not been presented since the inclusion of potential common shares would be antidilutive.
The following is a summary of potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effects would be antidilutive.

NOTE 5 - ACCRUED PUT OPTION LIABILITY
The holders of our Put Option liability are prior employees, officers and directors of United Heritage Corporation. These individuals had accrued this compensation in prior years. To record this obligation, we entered into option agreements dated May 30, 2003 and May 24, 2004 under our 2000 Stock Option Plan to purchase shares of $.001 par value stock of United Heritage Corporation at a price of $1.50 per share as adjusted for reverse stock splits. As a result of the proposed merger with Lothian Oil, Inc., these option agreements were modified via amendment on or about February 16, 2006, to grant the Purchaser a put option to require United Heritage Corporation to purchase said options for a price of $4.00 per share less the purchase price, as adjusted by reverse stock splits, of $1.50 per share by making demand between April 1, 2008 and April 10, 2008 (“Put Option”). The Put Holders demanded their rights in th e required period and this obligation of the Company was recognized as a liability. The accrued Put Option liability totaled $2,147,770 at June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009.
NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES
Included in Company’s net deferred tax assets are approximately $16.5 million of potential future tax benefits from prior unused tax losses. Realization of these tax assets depends on sufficient future taxable income before the benefits expire. It is not certain that the Company will have sufficient future taxable income to utilize the loss carry-forward benefits before they expire. Therefore, an allowance has been provided for the full amount of the net deferred tax asset. The Company’s recent change of majority ownership significantly reduced its ability to carry forward its net operating losses.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition, plan of operation and liquidity should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and our audited financial statements and the notes thereto and our Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
OVERVIEW
Glen Rose Petroleum Corporation (“Glen Rose”) is a Delaware corporation formed in 2008. The Company was previously United Heritage Corporation, a Utah corporation that was formed in 1981 and was reincorporated in Delaware in 2008. The reincorporation entailed a reincorporation merger agreement between Glen Rose Petroleum Company and United Heritage Corporation, but there were no substantive changes in assets or personnel and we also have continuous financial reporting through the reincorporation.
Glen Rose owns UHC Petroleum Corporation (“Petroleum”), a Texas corporation, which is a licensed operator with the Texas Railroad Commission. Petroleum is an independent producer of natural gas and crude oil based in Dallas, Texas. Petroleum operates the Wardlaw Field. The Wardlaw Field lies in Edwards County, Texas in the southeast portion of the Val Verde Basin and is approximately 28 miles west of Rocksprings and 550 miles west of Dallas. Current oil production from the field comes from the Glen Rose formation at a depth of less than 600 feet. The Company’s petroleum leaseholds consist of approximately 10,502 gross acres, of which more than 10,000acres are undeveloped. The leaseholds include 103 wellbores. Of these wells, approximately 90 are currently capable of producing and 44 wells are producing. We are in the process of evaluating the wells’ design and are developing a detailed plan for the shallow (less than 1 ,000 feet depth) formation of the entire field. Petroleum has a gross working interest of 100% and a net revenue interest of 75% of the Wardlaw Field. The lease terms provide that the leases on our entire acreage is extended by a period of 90 days each time a well (successful or not) is drilled; therefore, based on drilling to date, the primary lease term currently extended to 2014.
Currently we have one customer who buys 100% of our production; but we believe that other purchasers are available for our production. Our customer risk primarily stems from the purchaser’s solvency relating to outstanding balances. The purchaser has historically timely paid and we have no information that would indicate that it would be unable to continue paying in the future.
We have no patents, trademarks, material license agreements, franchises, or labor contracts.
In addition to Petroleum, Glen Rose also owns UHC Petroleum Services Corporation (“Services”) a Texas corporation; UHC New Mexico Corporation, a New Mexico corporation; and National Heritage Sales Corporation, a Texas corporation. UHC New Mexico Corporation and National Heritage Sales Corporation have not operated for a number of years, and the Company may wind up these corporations in the coming year.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Glen Rose Petroleum Corporation (referred to as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), contains certain forward-looking statements and information based upon the beliefs of, and data currently available to, our management, as well as estimates and assumptions made by our management regarding the Company’s financial condition, future operating performance, results of operations and other statements that are not statements of historical fact. The words “expect”, “project”, “estimate”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “forecast” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statemen ts appear in a number of places in this Form 10-Q and reflect the current view of our management with respect to future events. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain important risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors relating to our industry and operations which could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected intended or planned. Some of these risks include, among other things:
·
whether we will be able to find financing/produce cash flows to continue/expand our operations;
·
whether changes in regulatory requirements will adversely affect our business;
·
environmental risks;
13
·
volatility in commodity prices, supply of, and demand for, oil and natural gas;
·
whether the recovery methods that we use in or will use in our oil and gas operations succeed;
·
the ability of our management to execute its plans to meet its goals;
·
general economic conditions, whether internationally, nationally, or in the regional and local markets in which we operate, which may be less favorable than expected;
·
the difficulty of estimating the presence or recoverability of oil and natural gas reserves and future production rates and associated costs;
·
the ability to retain key members of management and key employees;
·
drilling and operating risks and expense cost escalations; and
·
other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.
Except as otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report Form 10-Q after the date of this report.
GOING CONCERN STATUS
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As of the filing date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have incurred substantial losses from our operations and we have a working capital deficit which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We had net loss of $279,004 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and a net loss of $2,181,974 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. As of the same periods, we had an accumulated deficit of $48,711,774 and $48,432,770, respectively. Unless we are able to attract the financing needed to develop our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Management is currently reviewing the Company’s operations with the intent of increasing revenue and reducing expenses. In addition, Management is also seeking funding with third parties through the issuance of debt and equity. In addition, we are also in discussions with third parties regarding sharing arrangements relating to our interest in the Wardlaw Field including farm outs. There is no assurance that our attempts to obtain funding or find a suitable party in connection with the further development of the Wardlaw Field will be successful.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying those policies, are more fully described in the notes to our audited financial statements contained in our annual reports on Forms 10-K for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008. We have consistently applied these policies in all material respects. Investors are cautioned, however, that these policies are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially. Set forth below are the accounting policies that we believe most critical to an understanding of our financial condition and liquidity.
Oil and Gas Properties
Proved Reserves - Proved reserves are defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission as those volumes of crude oil; condensate, natural gas liquids and natural gas that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty are recoverable from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are volumes expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Although our engineers are knowledgeable of and follow the guidelines for reserves established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the estimation of reserves requires engineers to make a significant number of assumptions based on professional judgment. Reserve estimates have been updated at least annually and consider recent production levels and other technical information about each well. Estimated reserves are often subject to future revision, which could be substantial, base d on the availability of additional information including: reservoir performance, new geological and geophysical data, additional drilling, technological advancements, price changes and other economic factors. Changes in oil and gas prices can lead to a decision to start-up or shut-in production, which can lead to revisions to reserve quantities. Reserve revisions in turn cause adjustments in the depletion rates utilized by the Company. The Company cannot predict what reserve revisions may be required in future periods.
14
Depletion rates are determined based on reserve quantity estimates and the capitalized costs of producing properties. As the estimated reserves are adjusted, the depletion expense for a property will change, assuming no change in production volumes or the costs capitalized. Estimated reserves are used as the basis for calculating the expected future cash flows from a property, which are used to determine whether that property may be impaired. Reserves are also used to estimate the supplemental disclosure of the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to oil and gas producing activities and reserve quantities in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements in our March 31, 2009 Form 10-K. Changes in the estimated reserves are considered changes in estimates for accounting purposes and are reflected on a prospective basis.
We employ the full cost method of accounting for our oil and gas production assets, which are located in the southwestern United States. Under the full cost method, all costs associated with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties are capitalized and accumulated in cost centers on a country-by-country basis. The sum of net capitalized costs and estimated future development and dismantlement costs for each cost center is depleted on the equivalent unit-of-production basis using proved oil and gas reserves as determined by independent petroleum engineers.
Net capitalized costs are limited to the lower of unamortized cost net of related deferred tax or the cost center ceiling. The cost center ceiling is defined as the sum of (i) estimated future net revenues, discounted at 10% per annum, from proved reserves, based on un-escalated year-end prices and costs; (ii) the cost of properties not being amortized; (iii) the lower of cost or market value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized; less (iv) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the oil and gas properties.
The ceiling test is affected by a decrease in net cash flow from reserves due to higher operating or finding costs or reduction in market prices for natural gas and crude oil. These changes can reduce the amount of economically producible reserves. If the cost center ceiling falls below the capitalized cost for the cost center, we would be required to report an impairment of the cost center’s oil and gas assets at the reporting date.
Impairment of Properties - We will continue to monitor our long-lived assets recorded in oil and gas properties in the consolidated balance sheet to ensure they are fairly presented. We must evaluate our properties for potential impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset could exceed its fair value. A significant amount of judgment is involved in performing these evaluations since the results are based on estimated future events. Such events include a projection of future oil and natural gas sales prices, an estimate of the ultimate amount of recoverable oil and gas reserves that will be produced from a field, the timing of future production, future production costs, and future inflation. The need to test a property for impairment can be based on several factors, including a significant reduction in sales prices for oil and/or gas, unfavorable adjustment to reserves, or other changes to contracts, environmen tal regulations or tax laws. All of these factors must be considered when testing a property's carrying value for impairment. We cannot predict whether impairment charges may be required in the future.
Revenue Recognition -Oil and gas production revenues are recognized at the point of sale. Production not sold at the end of the fiscal year is included as inventory.
Income Taxes- Included in our net deferred tax assets are approximately $16.5 million of potential future tax benefits from prior unused tax losses. Realization of these tax assets depends on sufficient future taxable income before the benefits expire. We are unsure if we will have sufficient future taxable income to utilize the loss carry-forward benefits before they expire. Therefore, we have provided an allowance for the full amount of the net deferred tax asset. Moreover, our recent change of majority ownership significantly reduced our ability to carry forward our net operating losses.
Accounting Estimates - Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. In particular, there is significant judgment required to estimate oil and gas reserves, impairment of unproved properties and asset retirement obligations. Actual results could vary significantly from the results that are obtained by using management’s estimates.

Oil and Gas Results
Our revenues increased $20,001, or approximately 132%, from $15,209 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, to $35,210 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Oil production from our wells located on the Wardlaw Field in Edwards County, Texas, is currently approximately 15 barrels of oil per day to our interest.
Our total operating costs and expenses decrease $360,502, or approximately 54%, from $673,252 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, to $312,750 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in our operating expenses was primarily attributable to decreases in stock compensation expense and other general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Our depreciation and depletion increased by $16,358, or approximately 1,887%, from $867 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, to $17,225 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. General and administrative expenses decreased $178,941, or approximately 41%, from $433,424 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, to $254,483 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease in our general and administrative expenses during the current three month period is primarily attributable to reduced engineering costs, legal fees, and accounting and other professional fees.
Our loss from operations decreased from $658,043 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, to $277,540 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This change in our loss from operations is primarily attributable to a decrease in consulting and stock compensation expenses as well as increases in oil sales.
Our net loss decreased $379,788, from $658,792 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, to $279,004 loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Our revenues have not been adequate to support our operations. We anticipate that this will change in the near future as a result of our combined capital raising and development efforts, combined with operating changes.
Current liabilities also increased from $2,948,077 at March 31, 2009 to $3,144,216 at June 30, 2009, an increase of $196,139 or approximately 6%.
16
We have a working capital deficit of $2,940,726 at June 30, 2009 as compared to a working capital deficit of $2,702,752 at March 31, 2009, an increase of $237,974 or approximately 9%. The increase in our working capital deficit resulted primarily from the increase in our current liabilities due to increases in development and production costs during the quarter ending June 30, 2009.
Shareholders’ equity decreased $276,335 from $3,184,342 at March 31, 2009, to $2,908,007 at June 30, 2009.
There was an increase of $28,320, or approximately less than 1% in our total assets, from $6,249,381 at March 31, 2009 to $6,277,701 at June 30, 2009.
Cash Flow
Our operations used $55,095 of cash in the three months ended June 30, 2009. This is primary due to a net loss of $279,004. Cash of $56,704 was used in investing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2009, which consisted of $80,800 paid for improvements to our oil and gas properties, $6,500 paid for purchases of property and equipment, and $19,937 received from principal repayments on a related party note receivable from Bowie Operating Company, LLC. In comparison, during the three months ended June 30, 2008 we used $170,815 in cash to improve our oil and gas properties and purchase equipment.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company has received the balance remaining of the January 2009 Blackwood Ventures LLC Sub Debt financing of $105,000.
At June 30, 2009, we had cash on hand in the amount of $3,329 as compared to $186,239 at June 30, 2008.
The sale price of oil produced by our Wardlaw Field decreased by $48.18 a barrel, or approximately 48%, from $100.41 a barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2008, to $52.23 a barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Production costs per barrel of oil produced for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $90.85, or approximately 67%, from $135.87 a barrel for the three months ended March 31, 2009, to $45.02 a barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2009.
If we did not increase activity in the Wardlaw Field, we believe that our expenses would decrease significantly; however, we have a plan to begin reworking 44 of the existing well bores, as part of a pilot flooding program which will commence upon raising of the necessary funding. There can be no assurance of success, and unless production and sales of oil and gas significantly increase, we may not be able to attain profitability, or even be able to continue as a going concern.
Except as otherwise discussed in this quarterly report, we know of no trends, events or uncertainties that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our short-term or long-term liquidity or on our net sales or revenues from continuing operations. We do not currently have any significant commitments for capital expenditures for the next twelve months, but do have significant plans, depending upon success of the pilot flooding program and our success in attracting capital.
ITEM 3.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This evaluation was undertaken in consultation with our accounting personnel. Based on the evaluation, information about which is included in the following paragraph, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to the loss of a number of employees, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
There have been no material changes in internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter that could materially affect or is reasonably likely to affect our internal control over financial reporting.
17
Glen Rose Petroleum Corporation’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining systems of adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
In the year ending March 31, 2009 Glen Rose Petroleum Corporation’s management team assessed several of its internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards set forth by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") in the United States.
In management's opinion, based on the assessment completed for the year ended March 31, 2009, that was completed after June 30, 2009 and is relevant for three-month time period ending June 30, 2009 as well, the internal controls over financial reporting are not operating effectively due to limited personnel and a lack of segregation of duties. Because of the limited personnel and lack of segration of duties, management determined that a material weakness existed in the processes, procedures and controls related to the preparation of our quarterly and annual financial statements. This material weakness could result in the reporting of financial information and disclosures in future consolidated annual and interim financial statements that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
During the course of their evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer did not discover any fraud involving management or any other personnel who play a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Black Sea Investments, Ltd. Lawsuit.
On November 21, 2007, a jury in Johnson County, Texas rendered a verdict in a trial in favor of the Company against Black Sea Investments, Ltd., Bradford A. Phillips, Clifton Phillips, Ryan T. Phillips, and F. Terry Shumate. On February 15, 2008, the 249th District Court in Johnson County, Texas entered a judgment in the amount of $4,020,551.05 with interest accruing at a rate of $583.01 per day until paid against these defendants in favor of the Company.
On March 17, 2008, the individual defendants filed a motion for new trial which was overruled by operation of law on April 30, 2008. The individual defendants then timely filed a Notice of Appeal for the matter to be heard by Texas Tenth Court of Appeals in Waco, Texas. On October 8, 2008, individual defendants filed a brief with the Tenth Court of Appeals. On January 14, 2009, the Company filed its brief in this matter. The defendants filed a reply brief on February 5, 2009. Also, a Baylor Law School professor filed an amicus letter with the Court on February 3, 2009. As of July 7, 2009, there had been no opinion released by the Texas Tenth Court of Appeals. In January 2009 Justice Rex D. Davis has recused himself from considering the matter.
The Company can provide no assurance that this judgment will withstand appeal or that, if upheld the Company will ever realize the collection of money from this judgment. The Company shares in 45% of these proceeds of the collected amount in this judgment with its attorney and 50% of the net balance with the Walter Mize Estate.
UHC Petroleum Corp. v. Lone Star Production Company, Buffalo Draw Partners, LLC, and T. Grant Johnson
On August 15, 2008, UHC Petroleum Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a lawsuit against Lone Star Production Company, Buffalo Draw Partners, LLC, and T. Grant Johnson in Edwards County, Texas for declaratory judgment, tortuous interference with peaceful use and enjoyment of property, business disparagement and injurious falsehood, and tortuous interference with prospective contracts and business relations. The lawsuit alleges that Lone Star Production Company top-leased one of the Company’s Wardlaw Field leases in 2004 and in 2008 the defendants engaged in various actions that were detrimental to the Company.
Country Boy Feed and Supply v. United Heritage Corporation.
On May 6, 2009, Country Boy Feed and Supply filed a claim in small claims court in Edwards County, Texas for propane gas and other expenses in the amount of $9,463. This claim was settled on August 11, 2009 for the sum of $8,500.00 that has been paid.
Recon Technologies of Oklahoma, Inc. v. UHC Petroleum Corporation and Glen Rose Petroleum Corporation
In July 2009, Recon Technologies of Oklahoma, Inc. filed a lawsuit against UHC Petroleum Corporation and Glen Rose Petroleum Corporation for $109,283.72 for alleged goods, wares, merchandise, or services delivered. The Company’s and UHC Petroleum Corporation’s answer is not yet due. The Company and UHC Petroleum Corporation intend to file an answer and defend the matter.
Other
The Company does not have any other litigation current or contemplated. However, the Company has terminated Geoff Beatson, a former engineering consultant, and taken issue with various vendors. Any of which could result in litigation, which the Company will vigorously pursue and defend.
The Company had option agreements to ex-employees and directors which exercised at $1.50 and $2.91 exercise prices. These options were modified to extend the expiration date to March 31, 2009, to add a put feature where the option holder can put the option back to the Company for the difference between $4.00 per share and the purchase price between April 1, 2008 and April 10, 2008, and to add a call feature whereby the Company can call the option for the difference between $7.50 and the purchase price. Since the put feature does not subject the holder to the normal risks of share ownership, the options the Company has classified the put options as liability awards and recorded at fair value. A liability and corresponding expense of $2,727,186 has been recorded in the prior financial statements. A majority of these option puts were exercised. The Company offered the option put holders the same conversion as Walter Mize elected on Ja nuary 16, 2008. On July 3, 2008, owners of approximately 54% of these
19
options elected to convert the Company’s put obligation to restricted common stock at $0.75 per share, subject to a voting trust and first right of refusal to Blackwood Ventures LLC. Approximately 41% elected to continue the option period until December 31, 2009, for consideration of 10% per annum, payable quarterly with a provision for payment in kind. Approximately 5% did not make an election and their units are held as current liability pending resolution. These transactions have not closed, and are contingent upon the completion of the definitive agreements. Should these transactions close, the Company’s liabilities would be reduced by $1,166,669.
Also, we may routinely be involved in government administrative proceedings relating to our oil and gas operations. The Texas Railroad Commission regulates the oil and gas industry in Texas and Texas law requires that the Texas Railroad Commission issue permits for a variety of activities. Petroleum can provide no assurance that all of the Company’s requested permits will be granted.
