NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Indigo-Energy, Inc. (the “Company”, “Indigo”, or “we”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present such information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature except the recording of our settlement with the former limited partners of Indigo-Energy Partners, LP (“Indigo LP”) (see Indigo-Energy Partners, LP section in Note 4), the recording of $840,000 cash payment and issuance of 2,500,000 shares to certain landowners and leaseholders on Epicenter leases (see Indigo Oil and Gas Interests and Operations section in Note 4), the recording of the beneficial conversion features on certain convertible notes (see Convertible Notes section in Note 5), the consolidation of Rivers West Energy, LLC as a Variable Interest Entity (VIE), the settlement of certain short-term notes payable with shares of common stock (see Promissory Note Settlement Agreements section in Note 5), the modification of certain short-term notes payable that were accounted for as an extinguishment of the original note and the recording of a new note under EITF 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments” resulting in a gain or loss on debt extinguishment (see Promissory Note Modification Agreements section in Note 5), the settlement of certain short-term notes payable that resulted in a loss on debt settlement (see Promissory Note Settlement Agreements section in Note 5), and in 2007, the recording of issuance of our common stock to the limited partners of Indigo LP in exchange for an additional 20% cash flow distribution and profit allocation, which resulted in an increase in our oil and gas properties. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures, including a description of significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent quarter or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2008.
For comparability purposes, certain figures for the prior periods have been reclassified where appropriate to conform to the financial statement presentation used in the current reporting period. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net loss.
Selected Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Indigo and Indigo LP. Our consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of variable interest entities (VIEs) where we are the primary beneficiary, regardless of our ownership percentage. Rivers West Energy, LLC (“Rivers West”) a Nevada Limited Liability Company formed in 2007, was consolidated in these financial statements as the Company determined it is a variable interest entity and the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”), requires the “primary beneficiary” of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to include the VIE’s assets, liabilities and operating results in its consolidated financial statements. In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, limited liability corporation, trust or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (i) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support; (ii) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about is activities; or (iii) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations. Determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE is complex and subjective, and requires our judgment. There are a variety of facts and circumstances and a number of variables taken into consideration to determine whether we are considered the primary beneficiary of a VIE. A change in facts and circumstances or a change in accounting guidance could require us to reconsider whether or not we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE.
INDIGO-ENERGY, INC.
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE ENTITY)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Rivers West is an entity designed to merge oil and gas lease interests and operations with a financing source (See Note 8). Steve Durdin, our CEO and President, is also the managing member of Rivers West. The Company has determined that Rivers West is a VIE and, consequently, has consolidated the entity into its financial statements.
In April, July and September 2008, Indigo provided an aggregate of $715,000 to Rivers West to preserve the lease rights to certain properties included in its planned drilling program with Epicenter, which was to commence upon the Company’s obtaining of sufficient funding from an outside party. The $715,000 payment was considered essentially a forbearance for the landholders and leaseholders to continue their patience giving Rivers West additional time to complete the payment and obtain the leases and therefore, was recorded as interest expense on the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Oil and gas revenues are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and if the collection of the revenue is probable. When the Company has an interest in a property with operators, it uses the sales method of accounting for its oil and gas to its customers, which can be different from its net working interest in field production.
Loss Per Share
Loss per common share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similarly to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Shares associated with convertible debt, stock options and stock warrants are not included because their inclusion would be antidilutive (i.e., reduce the net loss per share).
At September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company had potentially dilutive shares of 58,695,816 and 22,142,382, respectively.
NOTE 2 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Indigo-Energy, Inc. is an independent energy company engaged primarily in the exploration, development and production of natural gas in the Appalachian Basin in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company is in the exploration stage and has incurred significant losses since its inception and is delinquent on many of its obligations to its creditors. Also, its current liabilities exceed its current assets. The Company has been borrowing money and has assigned certain net revenue interests in oil and gas properties as collateral or consideration for these loans. The Company needs to raise a significant amount of cash to fund current operations and current capital commitments. There are no assurances the Company will receive funding necessary to implement its business plan. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
INDIGO-ENERGY, INC.
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE ENTITY)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company plans to raise funds from private offerings of equity and debt securities in order to fund its operations through September 30, 2009. The Company will need to raise additional funds in the event it locates additional prospects for acquisition, experiences cost overruns at its current prospects, or fails to generate projected revenues.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company raising additional financing on terms desirable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are required or if the funds cannot be obtained on terms favorable to the Company, management may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate its well development program or even be required to relinquish its interest in one or more properties or in the extreme situation, cease operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 4 - OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
Indigo Oil and Gas Interests and Operations
As of December 31, 2007, due to lack of significant production the Company had fully impaired the costs of two of its three initial wells. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had $297,486 of oil and gas property costs related to its three initial wells net of impairment and accumulated depletion on the wells. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded revenue of $63,355 and depletion expense of $19,214 on its three initial wells.
On December 20, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Epicenter Oil and Gas, LLC (“Epicenter”) whereby Epicenter agrees to hold the sum of $100,000 paid by the Company as a deposit against future development costs of oil and gas leases and purchases of oil field equipment.
During the nine months ending September 30, 2008, Indigo was compelled to preserve the lease rights to certain properties included in its planned drilling program with Epicenter for 2008. Given that a number of these leases were held by various interests, and that these development interests were commingled with the interests of Epicenter, the Company provided to Epicenter $840,000 in cash payments, including the $715,000 payment Indigo funded Rivers West during the second and third quarters of 2008, and 2,500,000 shares of its common stock as essentially a forbearance for the landholders and leaseholders to provide the Company additional time to complete the payment and obtain the leases. The 2,500,000 shares were valued at $0.12 per share based on the stock trading price of the Company on March 7, 2008, the date of the Company’s letter agreement with Epicenter for a total of $300,000. The $840,000 cash payments and $300,000 of value of these shares were recorded as interest expense in the nine month period ending September 30, 2008.
Indigo-Energy Partners, LP (“Indigo LP”)
Prior to March 31, 2008, the Company owned a 50% ownership interest in Indigo LP, which was consolidated with the Company in accordance with the guidance of EITF 04-5, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights.
On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a Global Settlement Agreement with all the other partners of Indigo LP pursuant to which the Company acquired the remaining 50% partnership interests from the other partners in exchange for 1) an aggregate monthly cash payment of $50,000 for a period of 36 months for a total amount of $1,800,000, which will be allocated proportionately to each of the other partners based on their respective ownership interest in Indigo LP, commencing upon the Company’s receiving of funding of $10,000,000 or more (Indigo LP Settlement Obligation) , and 2) the Company’s issuance of three warrants to each of the other partners for each dollar they originally invested, which resulted in the issuance of warrants to purchase a total of 13,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to all of the other partners at an exercise price of $0.25 per share (“Indigo LP Settlement Warrants”). These warrants vest on October 1, 2008 and expire in 7 years from date of grant.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Also as part of the Global Settlement Agreement, the Company was released of all its obligations under the partnership agreement. However, under the Global Settlement Agreement, if the Company has not commenced the monthly payment of $50,000 by January 1, 2009, then the other partners may seek judicial enforcement of the Company’s obligation to pay the settlement amounts and the Company will no longer be released of any obligations under the partnership agreement.
The Company calculated the present value of the $1,800,000 aggregate cash settlement amount to be $1,301,653 as of September 30, 2008, of which $606,440 was ascribed to related parties due to Steve Durdin, the Company’s President, James Walter Sr., a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, and their affiliates collectively owning 46.59% of the interest not owned by the Company in Indigo LP before the Global Settlement Agreement. The present value of the cash settlement amount was based on a 20% discount rate which is commensurate with the interest rate incurred on the Company’s borrowings in close proximity to the Global Settlement Agreement. The Company has ascribed a value of $907,000 to the Indigo LP Settlement Warrants, using the Black-Scholes model, assuming a volatility of 185.36%, a risk-free rate of 2.595% and an expected dividend yield of zero.
The value of the other partners’ minority interest as of the date of the Global Settlement Agreement was less than the consideration provided to them under the agreement, and accordingly, the Company recorded a settlement expense of $710,321, of which $330,939 was ascribed to related parties.
The following pro forma presentation assumes the Company’s acquisition of the remaining 50% partnership interest in Indigo LP took place on January 1, 2008 and 2007 and shows the pro forma effect on loss from operations.

Oil and Gas Interests and Operations of Indigo LP
On April 2, 2008, the Company entered into a Modification and Settlement Agreement with TAPO Energy, Corp. (“Operator1”) to settle its obligation in the amount of $671,598 to Operator1 under the terms of the July 2006 Drilling and Operating Agreement between Indigo LP and Operator1 (“DOA”). Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company assigned all of its rights to receive revenue from the five DOA wells for a period equal to the later of 48 months (commencing January 2008) or until the obligation to Operator1 has been satisfied (“the Assignment Period”). Upon expiration of the Assignment Period, all rights assigned to Operator1 will automatically revert back to the Company and a new carried interest in the five DOA wells will be assigned to the Company. In addition to the aforementioned assignment, the Company assigned an 84.375% working interest to Operator1 in three drill sites to be determined located on the Company’s land. The Company retains the remaining 15.625% royalty and overriding royalty interests in the three drill sites. Operator1 will be operating the wells situated in the three drill sites. Under the settlement agreement, the Company also agreed to enter into a transportation agreement with Operator1 whereby Operator1 will transport all gas produced and recovered from the five wells under DOA as well as the wells to be drilled using the Company’s existing pipelines. The Company is to be compensated at a rate equal to the greater of 5% of the gas price paid or $.50 per MCF.
As a result of the settlement agreement, the Company’s obligation due to Operator1 as of September 30, 2008 was reduced by $146,339 to $525,259, due to the application of the Company’s revenue from the five DOA wells during the first half of 2008 against the Company’s settlement obligation due to Operator1.

NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE
Convertible Notes - Series 1
In return for $2,662,100 received in April 2006 and continuing through October 2006, we issued convertible notes, (“Convertible Notes”). The notes had maturity dates three years from the date of issuance and bore interest at 8% per annum. As of December 31, 2007, the noteholders have converted $2,262,100 of principal into 2,714,250 shares of our common stock. The notes provide that the 8% interest is due and payable only if the trading price of our stock fell below $0.15625 in a given month, whereby we would then be responsible for paying interest on the outstanding balance of the notes for that month. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has recorded $24,022 of accrued interest on the remaining $400,000 of notes that are outstanding as a result of the stock price falling below $0.15625 in each of the nine months ending September 30, 2008.
Convertible Notes - Series 2
In February 2008, we issued 30,000 shares of common stock to one of the lenders as consideration for an extension on the maturity date of a $10,000 note to February 29, 2008. The common stock was valued at $5,400 and recorded as interest expense. In April 2008, we issued an additional 85,000 shares of common stock to this lender as consideration for an extension to May 15, 2008. The common stock was valued at $4,250 and recorded as interest expense.
On September 29, 2008, the Company modified the terms of a promissory note, originally dated May 8, 2007 in the amount of $75,000, by terminating the conversion option feature on the note and extending its due date until December 31, 2008. In exchange, the Company agreed to issue 851,667 shares of its common stock (See Promissory Note Modification Agreements below), which were issuable at September 30, 2008.
On September 30, 2008, the Company settled five of the promissory notes aggregating $296,986, including $86,986 of accrued interest and penalties in exchange for 9,899,524 shares of common stock (See Promissory Note Settlement Agreements below). These shares were issuable at September 30, 2008.
As of September 30, 2008, the Company has failed to pay the obligations amounting to $125,000 on the series of convertible notes, and as such, was in default on those obligations. As of November 15, 2008, these obligations remained in default. Management is in discussions with certain noteholders regarding the forbearance of their respective obligations, and anticipates using the proceeds from equity contributions to repay those note obligations.
Convertible Notes - Series 3
In October through December 2007, the Company borrowed $570,000 from various lenders on series of borrowings, (including $300,000 from Carr Miller, LLC (“Carr Miller”), who became a related party of the Company at the end of January 2008 upon the appointment of Everett Miller, who controls Carr Miller, as the Company’s Board Director; $65,000 from James Walter Sr., who became one of our Board Members in October 2007 and $25,000 from Tammy Walter, a family member of James Walter Sr.). The promissory notes provided for interest at 20% per annum with maturity dates ranging from February through May 2008. The Company did not pay certain of these notes at their original maturity dates, and, as a result, incurred late charges pursuant to the late payment penalty provisions of the notes. In addition, one of the convertible notes was amended to extend the maturity date in consideration for which the Company agreed to issue to the noteholder 75,000 shares of its common stock, and pay interest at 20% per annum during the extended note period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the total of the Company’s common stock provided to the lenders in connection with late payment penalties and extension (but excluding the total number of 5,972,886 shares issued in connection with the Company’s settlement and modification of five notes in September 2008 as discussed below) amounted to 15,931,053 shares, of which 1,006,546 were issuable as of September 30, 2008. The value of the shares was determined based on the closing trading prices of the Company’s common stock as of the penalty or extension dates of the notes, and resulted in additional discounts on the note obligations in the amount of $1,656,920. The amortization of the discounts amounted to $2,047,673 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, of which $478,839 was ascribed to related parties, was recorded as interest expense under EITF 00-27. Accrued interest and late charge fee on these notes at September 30, 2008 amounted to $44,073.

In exchange, the Company agreed to issue 1,020,000 shares of its common stock (See Promissory Note Modification Agreements below) to Carr Miller, which were issuable at September 30, 2008.
As of September 30, 2008, the Company was in default on obligations on these convertible notes amounting to $155,000. As of November 15, 2008, these obligations remained in default. Management is in discussions with certain noteholders regarding the forbearance of their respective obligations, and anticipates using the proceeds from equity contributions or loans to repay these note obligations.
Convertible Notes - Series 4
In April and June 2008, we borrowed a total of $875,000 from various lenders and issued promissory notes of which $700,000 were due to related parties ($600,000 was due to Carr Miller and $100,000 was due to James Walter Sr.). The promissory notes provided for interest at 20% per annum with maturity dates ranging from August through December 2008. The lenders have the option to either receive all principal and interest due on the notes within ten days of the maturity dates or to convert the principal and interest due on the notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average ten-day closing price of the stock immediately preceding the date. Within thirty days of funding of the loans, the lenders are to receive shares of our common stock equal to ten times the numerical dollars of the principal of the loan. In May and July 2008, we issued a total of 8,750,000 shares of common stock to the lenders.
We deemed these promissory notes as convertible notes because of the lenders’ option to either receive cash payments or shares of common stock on the loan maturity dates as described above. We valued 8,750,000 shares issued to the lenders at $1,622,500 based on our stock trading price on the dates of the promissory notes. Under EITF 00-27 and APB No. 14, we allocated the proceeds from issuance of these notes and common stock based on the proportional fair value basis for each item. Consequently, these promissory notes were recorded with discounts of $579,925 based on the ascribed value of the 8,750,000 shares of our common stock.
A beneficial conversion discount was also recorded on these convertible notes since these convertible notes were convertible into shares of common stock at an effective conversion price lower than the prevailing common stock share price on the note issuance dates. The beneficial conversion amount was limited to the portion of the cash proceeds allocated to those convertible notes. As a result, those convertible notes were recorded with additional discounts in the total amount of $295,075.

The combined value of the note discount and discount related to the beneficial conversion feature on the convertible notes is being amortized over the term of the respective convertible note using the effective interest yield method. The amortization of the discounts was recorded as interest expense under EITF 00-27. For the nine months ending September 30, 2008, we recorded total interest expense of $875,000 related to amortization of the discounts. We also recorded an additional interest expense, including 10% late charge as referred to below, of $151,970, of which $132,446 was outstanding as of September 30, 2008.
In the event the notes are unpaid within ten days of their maturity dates, we will incur a late charge equal to 10% of the note amount and be required to issue one share of common stock for every dollar of the principal amount borrowed every 30 days from the default date until the notes are paid. As of September 30, 2008, we have issued 9,119,647 and have 1,575,758 shares issuable for these penalties. These shares were valued as of their respective penalty dates amounting to $861,667 and were recorded as interest expense in the nine month period ending September 30, 2008.

In exchange, the Company agreed to issue 1,268,889 shares of its common stock (See Promissory Note Modification Agreements below), which were issuable at September 30, 2008.
On September 30, 2008, the Company settled the $100,000 note due to James Walter, Sr., a related party, in addition to $19,524 of accrued interest and penalties in exchange for 3,984,141 shares of common stock (See Promissory Note Settlement Agreements below).

Convertible Notes - Series 5 - Related Party
In July and September 2008, we borrowed a total of $1,000,000 from Carr Miller, a related party. The promissory notes provided for interest at 20% per annum with maturity dates ranging from January through March 2009. The lender has the option to either receive all principal and interest due on the notes within ten days of the maturity dates or to convert the principal and interest due on the notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average ten-day closing price of the stock immediately preceding the date. Within thirty days of funding of the loans, the lender is to receive shares of our common stock equal to ten times the numerical dollars of the principal of the loan. In the event the notes are unpaid within ten days of their maturity dates, we will incur a late charge equal to 10% of the note amount. In July and September 2008, we issued a total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock to the lender.
We deemed these promissory notes as convertible notes because of the lenders’ option to either receive cash payments or shares of common stock on the loan maturity dates as described above. We valued 10,000,000 shares issued to the lenders at $1,090,000 based on our stock trading price on the dates of the promissory notes. Under EITF 00-27 and APB No. 14, we allocated the proceeds from issuance of these notes and common stock based on the proportional fair value basis for each item. Consequently, these promissory notes were recorded with discounts of $520,000 based on the ascribed value of the 10,000,000 shares of our common stock.
A beneficial conversion discount was also recorded on these convertible notes since these convertible notes were convertible into shares of common stock at an effective conversion price lower than the prevailing common stock share price on the note issuance dates. The beneficial conversion amount was limited to the portion of the cash proceeds allocated to those convertible notes. As a result, those convertible notes were recorded with additional discounts in the total amount of $480,000.

On February 27, 2008, the lender converted the principal and accrued interest on this loan of $27,542 into 285,110 shares of our common stock.
In February 2008, the Company borrowed $55,000 from two individual lenders and issued promissory notes that provided for interest at a rate of 20% per annum with maturity dates in August 2008. The lenders have the option to either receive all principal and interest due on the loan within ten days of the maturity date or to convert the principal and interest due on the notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average ten-day closing price of the stock immediately preceding the due date. The lenders were also issued 550,000 shares of our common stock on February 29, 2008, which was equal to ten times the numerical dollars of the principal of the loan pursuant to the terms of the note.
We deemed these promissory notes as convertible notes because of the lender’s option to either receive cash payments or shares of common stock on the loan maturity dates as described above. We valued the 550,000 shares at $74,000 based on our stock trading price on the dates of the respective promissory notes. Under EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” and APB No. 14 “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued With Stock Purchase Warrants,” we have allocated the proceeds from issuance of the convertible note and common stock based on the proportional fair value basis for each item. Consequently, the convertible notes were recorded with a discount of $31,525 based on the ascribed value of the 550,000 shares of our common stock.
A beneficial conversion discount was also recorded on the convertible notes since the convertible notes were convertible into shares of common stock at an effective conversion price lower than the prevailing common stock share price on the note issuance dates. The beneficial conversion amount was limited to the portion of the cash proceeds allocated to the convertible notes. As a result, the convertible notes were recorded with an additional discount in the amount of $23,475.
The combined value of the note discounts and discounts related to the beneficial conversion feature on the convertible note were amortized over the term of the respective convertible notes using the effective interest yield method. The amortization of the discounts was recorded as interest expense under EITF 00-27. For the nine months ending September 30, 2008, we recorded interest expense of $55,000 related to amortization of the discounts. We also recorded additional interest expense of $12,899 on the notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which was included in accrued interest.

In the event the notes are unpaid within ten days of their maturity date, the Company will incur a late charge equal to 10% of the note amount and be required to issue one share of common stock for every dollar of the principal amount borrowed every 30 days from the default date until the notes are paid. Consequently, as of September 30, 2008, we have issued 611,111 and have 1,075,758 shares issuable for these penalties. These shares were valued as of their respective penalty dates amounting to $111,167 and were recorded as interest expense in the nine month period ending September 30, 2008.
On September 30, 2008, the Company settled these notes aggregating $67,899, including $12,899 of accrued interest and penalties in exchange for 2,263,312 shares of common stock (See Promissory Note Settlement Agreements below). These shares were issuable at September 30, 2008.
Promissory Notes
Note Payable 1
On November 27, 2006, the Company borrowed $450,000 from a private lender and issued a promissory note to the lender. The note, as amended, had a maturity date of March 30, 2008. Within ten days of the maturity date, the Company was to pay the lender $550,000 less any earlier payments of principal, as satisfaction in full of this obligation. The Company did not pay the note at the maturity date of March 30, 2008. However, the lender has agreed to extend the note so long as the Company makes the monthly payment of $12,500 as required under the amended note.
On October 15, 2008, the Company entered into a settlement agreement whereby the parties agreed that 1) the total due to the lender is $450,000 of principal plus $46,250 of accrued interest, late charges, and net royalty interests; 2) the principal will accrue simple interest at 15% per annum via monthly payments of $5,625 commencing October 15th until paid; 3) if any monthly interest payment is not paid by the 25th of the month, a one-time late payment penalty of $250 will be applied and accrued; 4) the lender waives forever any and all claim against the revenues, ownership, net royalty interest and any claim against Indigo No. 3 well; 5) in the event that Indigo does not pay the balance by October 15, 2009 and the agreement is not automatically renewed per item 7 below, or Indigo declares bankruptcy, the lender’s rights to the net revenue interest in Indigo No. 3 well will revert to 100% for the life of the well; 6) the lender releases Indigo, its officers, directors and agents from any liability arising out of the replacement of this settlement agreement and terminating all prior agreements and notes including any and all defaults, fees, penalties and interest on any notes as well as any other claims that the lender may have against Indigo; and 7) this initial term is for one-year commencing October 15, 2008 and will automatically renew from year to year under the same terms and conditions unless terminated by either party after the initial term or payment in full of the balance.
Series of Notes Payable
In January and February 2007, we borrowed a total of $580,000 from four individual lenders and issued four promissory notes with maturity dates in January and February 2008.
On July 27, 2007, one of the four promissory notes in the amount of $80,000 together with a convertible note the Company issued to the same lender in April 2007 in the amount of $100,000 were settled with the lender and the Company issued a new promissory note to this lender as part of the settlement agreement in the amount of $150,000. The new promissory note had a maturity date of September 15, 2007, and in November 2007 $50,000 of this note was repaid. On April 25, 2008, the new promissory note was extended to July 15, 2008, in consideration for which the Company agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares of common stock to the noteholder and extended the interest rate on the note to 20% per annum. The common stock was valued at $190,000 based on our stock trading price on the note extension date, which was recorded as additional discount on the note. As of September 30, 2008, amortization of the discount amounted to $190,000, which was recorded as interest expense. On September 30, 2008, the Company settled this note, including $37,185 of accrued interest and penalties in exchange for 4,572,843 shares of common stock (See Promissory Note Settlement Agreements below), which were issuable at September 30, 2008.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On March 15, 2008, the Company entered into a Modification and Settlement Agreement with each of the remaining three noteholders whereby the Company was released from all its obligations under the original promissory notes in the total amount of $500,000. Under the settlement agreements, the Company was required to pay the principal amount of the original notes plus a 10% penalty fee on or before May 1, 2008 (“Due Date”), and to issue to the noteholders an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of its common stock.
The Company valued the 2,500,000 shares of common stock issued to the lenders at $175,000, using its stock trading price of $0.07 per share at the date of the note settlement agreements. Consequently, the Company recorded additional discounts of $175,000 on the three notes based on the ascribed value of the 2,500,000 shares of common stock, which were amortized over the extended loan period through May 1, 2008. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded amortization of $175,000 on the additional discounts, which were recorded as interest expense.
The Company did not pay the note principal plus the 10% penalty fee by the Due Date, and therefore was required to issue to the noteholders one share of its common stock for every dollar of the principal and penalty then outstanding for every month past the Due Date on which the note principal and penalty charge remain unpaid. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has issued 2,650,000 shares and had 100,000 shares issuable to the noteholders. The shares were valued at $478,500 and recorded as interest expense.
On September 30, 2008, the Company settled one of the three promissory notes aggregating $220,000, including $20,000 of penalties in exchange for 7,333,333 shares of common stock (See Promissory Note Settlement Agreements below). These shares were issuable at September 30, 2008.
On September 30, 2008, another of the three promissory notes with a principal amount of $200,000 was extended to December 31, 2008, in consideration for which the Company agreed to issue 884,444 shares of common stock to the noteholder. The common stock was valued at $53,066 based on the Company’s stock trading price on the note extension date, which was recorded as an additional discount on the note. These shares were issuable at September 30, 2008.
If the note principal and the penalty on the remaining one note in the amount of $110,000 is not paid by November 1, 2008, then the Company will no longer be released from any obligations under the original note and the March 15, 2008 Modification and Settlement Agreement as referred to above will be deemed void. However, the noteholder will nevertheless retain the shares of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the settlement agreements. As of November 15, 2008, the note remained unpaid, the Company was in default on the obligation, and the Modification and Settlement Agreement that was in effect was deemed void.
Other Promissory Notes
In June 2007, we borrowed a total of $75,000 from two individual lenders and issued two promissory notes. The promissory notes provided for interest at a rate of 20% per annum with maturity dates on December 21, 2007. On December 21, 2007, the Company did not repay these loans and as such, was in default. On February 11, 2008, one of the two lenders agreed to extend the due date of the loan to March 15, 2008 in exchange for the Company’s issuance of 50,000 shares of common stock, which were valued using our stock trading price of $0.16 per share at the date of the extension for $8,000 and recorded as interest expense. The Company repaid the loan plus accrued interest of $6,165 on March 28, 2008. On March 18, 2008, the other lender agreed to extend the due date of the loan to May 27, 2008 in exchange for the Company’s issuance of 250,000 shares of common stock, which were valued using the Company’s stock trading price of $0.06 per share at the date of the extension for $15,000 and recorded as additional discount on the note, which was amortized over the extended loan period. At September 30, 2008, the additional discount of $15,000 has been fully amortized which was recorded as interest expense. On September 29, 2008, the other lender agreed to extend the due date of the loan to December 31, 2008 in exchange for the Company’s issuance of 477,778 shares of common stock, which were valued using the Company’s stock trading price of $0.05 per share at the date of the extension for $23,889 and recorded as additional discount on the note, which was amortized over the extended loan period. These shares were issuable as of September 30, 2008.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In July 2007, we borrowed a total of $430,000 from various individual lenders and issued promissory notes. In October 2007, two of these notes were amended to extend the maturity dates from September and October 2007 to December 2007 and January 2008, respectively, with the interest rate on one of the notes being increased from 10% to 20% per annum. In February 2008, seven notes were amended to extend the maturity dates to dates ranging from February 2008 to June 2008 in exchange for which we agreed to issue a total of 650,000 shares of our common stock to these six lenders. In March 2008, the Company repaid one of the notes in the amount of $15,000 and two notes were amended for a second time to extend the maturity dates to June 2008, in exchange for which we agreed to 1) issue a total of 600,000 shares of our common stock to the lenders; 2) pay $20,000 of accrued interest to one of the lenders; and 3) extend interest rate to 20% per annum on one of the extended notes. In April and May 2008, three notes were amended to extend the maturity dates to June and July 2008, in exchange for which we agreed to 1) issue a total of 275,000 shares of our common stock to the lenders; 2) pay $15,000 of accrued interest to one of the lenders; and 3) extend interest rate to 20% per annum on one of the extended notes. As of June 30, 2008, 1,525,000 shares of our common stock were issued under the terms of these agreements. The Company valued the 1,525,000 shares of common stock at an aggregate amount of $167,500, using its stock trading price at the date of the respective extension agreements. Consequently, additional discounts of $167,500 were recorded and amortized over the extension periods on the respective notes. In July 2008, one note was extended for the fourth time for another month in exchange for which we agreed to issue 50,000 shares to the lender. In August 2008, this note was extended for the fifth time to September 2008 in exchange for which we agreed to issue 100,000 shares to the lender. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded interest expense for the amortization of discounts on these notes in the amount of $223,410, and $78,772 for additional interest and late payment penalties. On September 30, 2008, the Company settled five of the promissory notes aggregating $373,570, including $73,570 of accrued interest and penalties in exchange for 12,452,320 shares of common stock (See Promissory Note Settlement Agreements below), all of which were issuable as of September 30, 2008. As of November 15, 2008, the Company was in default on $115,000 of these balances.
On January 21, 2008, the Company borrowed $380,000 from Carr Miller Capital, LLC (“Carr Miller”), who became a related party of the Company at the end of January 2008, and issued a promissory note that provided for interest at 10% per annum with a maturity date of July 24, 2008. Within thirty days of funding of the loan, the lender was also to receive shares of the Company’s common stock equal to five times the numerical dollars of the principal of the loan. As a result, 1,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Carr Miller on February 29, 2008. In the event this note is unpaid within ten days of its maturity date, the Company will incur a late charge equal to 10% of the note amount. In addition, the Company will pay to Carr Miller a one-time administrative fee of $6,000, which has been recorded as a deferred loan fee and is being amortized over the term of the loan.
We valued the 1,900,000 shares at $342,000 based on our stock trading price of $0.18 on the date of promissory note. The Company allocated the proceeds from issuance of the note and common stock based on the proportionate fair value for each item. Consequently, the promissory note was recorded with a discount of $180,120, based on the ascribed value of the 1,900,000 shares of common stock. Amortization of the discounts on this note for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 amounted to $180,120, which was recorded as interest expense. Additional interest expense on this note was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 in the amount of $64,027. On September 29, 2008, the Company modified the terms of this note by extending its due date until December 31, 2008. In exchange, the Company agreed to issue 776,889 shares of its common stock (See Promissory Note Modification Agreements below). The shares were issuable as of September 30, 2008.
Notes Payable - Related Party
On March 6, 2008, the Company borrowed $500,000 from Carr Miller and issued a promissory note that provided for interest at 20% per annum with a maturity date of September 10, 2008. Carr Miller became a related party of the Company at the end of January 2008 upon the appointment of Everett Miller, who controls Carr Miller, as one of the Company’s Board of Directors. Within thirty days of funding of the loan, Carr Miller is also to receive shares of the Company’s common stock equal to eleven times the numerical dollars of the principal of the loan. As a result, 5,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Carr Miller on April 2, 2008. In the event this note is unpaid within ten days of its maturity date, the Company will incur a late charge equal to 10% of the note amount. The Company valued the 5,500,000 shares at $605,000 based on its stock trading price of $0.11 on the date of promissory note. The Company allocated the proceeds from issuance of the note and common stock based on the proportionate fair value for each item. Consequently, a discount of $274,000, based on the ascribed value of the 5,500,000 shares of common stock issued to the lender was recorded. Amortization of the discounts on this note for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 amounted to $274,000, which was recorded as interest expense. Additional interest expense on this note was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 in the amount of $106,164.

Promissory Note Settlement Agreements
On September 30, 2008, the Company entered into a total of 20 settlement agreements (“September Settlement Agreements”) with individual lenders holding various convertible and non-convertible promissory notes previously issued by the Company in the aggregate amount of $1,500,817, consisting of $1,180,000 of principal and $320,817 of accrued interest.

The total of the promissory notes, accrued interest, and late fees were settled at $0.03 per share of the Company’s common stock, which was below the Company’s stock trading price of $0.06 per share on the September 30, 2008 settlement date. The settlement of the convertible notes were accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 84, “Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt” (“FAS 84”), which requires the debtor enterprise to recognize an expense equal to the fair value of all securities and other consideration transferred in the transaction in excess of the fair value of securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms. Consequently, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment on convertible notes in the amount of $1,114,068 for the period ending September 30, 2008, of which $190,754 is ascribed to related parties. The settlement of the non-convertible notes were accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion 26, “Early Extinguishment of Debt” (“APB Opinion 26”), and FASB Technical Bulletin No. 80-1, “Early Extinguishment of Debt through Exchange for Common or Preferred Stock” (FASB Technical Bulletin No. 80-1”), which require the difference between the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt and the reacquisition price of the extinguished debt be recognized currently in income in the period of extinguishment. In accordance with APB Opinion 26 and FASB Technical Bulletin No. 80-1, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment on non-convertible notes in the amount of $730,755 for the period ending September 30, 2008, of which $137,185 is ascribed to a related party.

Promissory Note Modification Agreements
On September 29, 2008, the Company modified the terms of nine of its outstanding notes with Carr Miller, a related party, six of which were convertible totaling $1,900,000 of principal, and three of which were non-convertible totaling $1,000,000 of principal. The modification of terms terminated the conversion features on all of the convertible notes. The modification of terms also terminated the late payment provision on one of the notes with a principal of $500,000 dated April 24, 2008. This provision formerly required the Company to issue one share of common stock for every dollar of the principal amount borrowed every 30 days from the default date until the notes were paid. In addition, the modification extended the due dates of certain of these notes due at various dates in 2008 to December 31, 2008. Except as set forth in these modification terms, all other terms of the notes remained unchanged. In consideration for the modification of these notes, the Company agreed to issue 6,104,445 shares of common stock to Carr Miller, which were valued in the amount of $305,222, using the Company’s stock trading price of $0.05 per share at the date of the modification.
These modifications were accounted for in accordance with EITF 96-19 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments.” Under EITF 96-19, a modification of a debt instrument with substantially different terms should be accounted for like, and reported in the same manner as, an extinguishment. Debt instruments are considered substantially different when the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original investment. The Company determined that the modification of all nine notes qualified as being substantially different, and as a result should be accounted for as debt extinguishment. Consequently, the Company recorded a net loss on debt extinguishment—related party in the total amount of $50,913. The new debt instruments were recorded with discounts amounting to $899,393, which will be amortized over the extension periods, and recorded as interest expense.
On September 30, 2008, the Company modified the terms of one of its Series 2 Convertible Notes originally dated May 8, 2007 with a principal amount of $75,000. The modification of terms terminated the conversion feature and extended the due date until December 31, 2008. All other terms of the note remained unchanged. In exchange, the Company issued of 851,667 shares of common stock to the noteholder, which were valued using the Company’s stock trading price of $0.06 per share at the date of the modification for $51,100. This transaction was also deemed as a substantial modification of the original note under EITF 96-19 and recorded as a debt extinguishment. Accordingly the Company recorded a net loss on debt extinguishment in the amount of $51,100.

NOTE 6 - DUE TO RELATED PARTY
On September 3, 2005, we entered into separate agreements with two of our then principal stockholders (Leo Moore and James Love) to redeem their entire interest in the Company. At the time of the agreement, each shareholder held a 33⅓ interest in our common stock.
The original agreements provided for a redemption price of $500,000 each to be paid under different payment schedules.
The terms of the original agreements did not provide for interest to accrue. The original agreements also provided that in the event of default, each selling shareholder would be allowed to keep the initial amount paid and we would be required to return the shares.
On January 27, 2006, the payment terms of the contracts were amended and extended to both ratify and confirm the remaining balance due under the terms of the original agreement. The obligation due to James Love was paid off in September 2006.
On March 23, 2007, the payment terms of the contract with Leo Moore were amended again with additional interest of $20,000 on the outstanding balance. As of December 31, 2007, the balance due to Leo Moore was $229,364 including late payment charges of $35,122. On March 20, 2008, we entered into a Modification and Settlement Agreement with Leo Moore whereby we agreed to settle our obligation due to Leo Moore by paying a total amount of $209,500 on or before June 30, 2008; $5,000 to be paid each month from April through June 2008 with the balance due by June 30, 2008.

Under the Moore Settlement Agreement, Moore Family agreed to surrender to us 28,485,000 shares of our common stock, in exchange for which we agreed to pay Moore Family a total of $150,000 in installment payments. As of March 31, 2007, we have paid $50,000 to Moore Family. On March 23, 2007, we entered into a Modification Agreement with Moore Family to extend the payment terms on the remaining balance.

On July 7, 2008, the Company reached a settlement agreement with an individual who agreed to perform services in exchange for 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in 2005. As a result of the settlement, the individual returned 2,000,000 of the shares to the Company. The 4,000,000 shares were originally issued to the individual in November 2005 prior to the Company’s recapitalization on December 15, 2005, which had no effect on the Company’s statement of operations. Therefore, the Company accounted for the return of the 2,000,000 shares simply as a reduction in common stock at par value for a total of $2,000 with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital at the same amount.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - NOT DISCLOSED ELSEWHERE
General
There have been significant changes in the US economy, oil and gas prices and the finance industry which have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the Company in its attempt to obtain financing or in its process to produce commercially feasible gas exploration or production.
Federal, state and local authorities regulate the oil and gas industry. In particular, gas and oil production operations and economics are affected by environmental protection statutes, tax statutes and other laws and regulations relating to the petroleum industry, as well as changes in such laws, changing administrative regulations and the interpretations and application of such laws, rules and regulations. The Company believes it is in compliance with all federal, state and local laws, regulations, and orders applicable to the Company and its properties and operations, the violation of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its financial condition.
Operating Hazards and Insurance
The gas and oil business involves a variety of operating risks, including the risk of fire, explosions, blow-outs, pipe failure, abnormally pressured formation, and environmental hazards such as oil spills, gas leaks, ruptures or discharges of toxic gases, the occurrence of any of which could result in substantial losses to the Company due to injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property, natural resources and equipment, pollution or other environmental damage, cleanup responsibilities, regulatory investigation and penalties and suspension of operations.
In those projects for which the Company is an operator, the Company maintains certain insurance of various types to cover its operations with policy limits and retention liability customary in the industry. In those projects in which the Company is not the operator, but in which it owns a non-operating interest, the operator for the prospect maintains insurance to cover its operations and the Company may purchase additional insurance coverage when necessary.
There can be no assurance that insurance, if any, will be adequate to cover any losses or exposure to liability. Although the Company believes that the policies obtained by operators or the Company itself provide coverage in scope and in amounts customary in the industry, they do not provide complete coverage against all operating risks. An uninsured or partially insured claim, if successful and of significant magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial condition via its contractual liability to the prospect.
INDIGO-ENERGY, INC.
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE ENTITY)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of July 8, 2008 the Company was in default on all of its insurance policies including, but not limited to, its policies covering general and excess liability, directors and officers, errors and omissions, as well as sudden and accidental coverage on the wells. The occurrence of an uninsured event which may result in financial damage to the Company could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Management intends to have all of these policies reinstated. On September 18, 2008, the Company obtained a new policy for directors and officers insurance and is current on this policy. As of November 15, 2008, most policies have not been reinstated, and management is unaware of any uninsured event which may result in financial damages to the Company.
Title to Properties
The Company’s practice has been to acquire ownership or leasehold rights to oil and natural gas properties from third parties. Most of the Company’s current drilling operations are conducted on properties acquired from third parties. Our existing rights are dependent on those previous third parties having obtained valid title to the properties. Prior to the commencement of gas drilling operations on those properties, the third parties customarily conduct a title examination. The Company generally does not conduct examinations of title prior to obtaining its interests in its operations, but rely on representations from the third parties that they have good, valid and enforceable title to the oil and gas properties. Based upon the foregoing, we believe that we have satisfactory title to our producing properties in accordance with customary practices in the gas industry. The Company has recently become aware of potential historical discrepancies in the chain of title and other possible title imperfections pertaining to certain of its properties. The Company is not aware of the assertion or threatened assertion of any adverse claims against title to such properties. The Company intends to work with the third party predecessors in interest to resolve these discrepancies and imperfections in accordance with accepted industry practices.
Potential Loss of Oil and Gas Interests/ Cash Calls
The Company has entered into turnkey contracts with various operators for the drilling of oil and gas properties, and still owes the operators payments on drilling wells. In addition, it might be subject to future cash calls due to (1) the drilling of any new well or wells on drilling sites not covered by the original turnkey contracts; (2) rework or recompletion of a well; (3) deepening or plugging back of dry holes, etc. If the Company does not pay delinquent amounts due or its share of future Authorization For Expenditures (“AFE”) invoices, it may have to forfeit all of its rights in certain of its interests in the applicable prospects and any related profits. If one or more of the other members of the prospects fail to pay their share of the prospect costs, the Company may need to pay additional funds to protect its investments.
Other
In December 2006, the Company was cited for certain violations by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) pertaining to the drilling area around their wells. The violations generally consist of: the Company’s failure to seed and mulch the ground in the well area; the failure to properly mark the wells with signage; and leaving certain piping on the ground. In February 2007, the Company engaged a contractor to cure these violations and obtain abatements from the DEP. The estimated remediation costs were $50,000, of which the Company paid $25,000 in February 2007. As of November 15, 2007, the contractor has not completely finished the remediation work and since that time, the Company has renegotiated the remediation contract by agreeing to pay $16,000 for all remaining work. At the time when all remediation work is done, it is expected that the DEP will abate all violations. The DEP has allowed the Company to continue its drilling and production during this curative process. The estimated remediation costs were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses at September 30, 2008.
On February 26, 2007, we entered into a settlement agreement with Morgantown Excavators, Inc. (“MEI”) for the outstanding balance of $50,010 we owed to MEI for the environmental remediation services provided by MEI during the first and second quarter of 2006. In 2007, we paid a total of $15,000 to MEI. As of September 30, 2008, we still owed MEI $44,510, including $9,500 of late fees, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet. As of November 15, 2008, $42,510 remained unpaid.

On March 7, 2007, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Big Apple Consulting USA, Inc. (“Big Apple”), whereby Big Apple was to market and promote the Company to its network of brokerage firms and market makers. Big Apple was responsible for locating and introducing potential investors to the Company through telemarketing and other networking activities, as well as representing the Company in responding to investor inquiries. The Company was to compensate Big Apple in the form of either the Company’s shares of free trading common stock or cash, at the Company’s option. The term of the consulting agreement was for one year, and the Company had the right to extend the term for an additional year after the initial expiration date. The Company was unable to compensate Big Apple with free trading common stock however did issue 5,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock to Big Apple in 2007, and the Company recorded $5,250,000 of consulting expense in the first quarter of 2007 for the value of the common stock issued to Big Apple. Because the Company was unable to provide Big Apple with free trading shares, Big Apple failed to perform under the terms of the contract. Big Apple subsequently asserted that the Company had a remaining obligation under the contract in the amount of $260,000 for services performed under the consulting agreement. In April 2008 the Company agreed to pay $20,000 and issue 1,030,000 shares of restricted common stock to Big Apple as payment for the $260,000 obligation. The Company has recorded this obligation as consulting expense for the nine-months ended September 30, 2008. The Company issued the 1,030,000 shares of common stock to Big Apple in May 2008.
On June 28, 2007, the Company entered into two Restricted Equity Purchase Agreements with Mercatus & Partners Limited, a United Kingdom Private Limited Company (“Mercatus”).

On April 25, 2008, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with International Financial Corporation, LLC, a Nevada Limited Liability Company (“International”) whereby both parties agreed to become members of Rivers West Energy, LLC. Under the LOI, International also agreed to provide the Company, upon the execution of a definitive agreement governing the understanding between the Company and International, with funds in the total amount of $624,000,000 for capital expenditures specified in the agreement and general working capital of the Company.
The Company did not receive the funds that International commited to deliver. Accordingly, on October 10, 2008, the Company reported in a Form 8K that it informed International of its intention to terminate the Letter of Intent based on International's failure ro comply with the terms of the LOI within the time period provided therein.
As further consideration for the LOI, the Company agreed to pay to Spectrum Facilitating Technologies, LLC, a Limited Liability Company (“Spectrum”) engaged by International to seek and investigate loan transactions on its behalf, the amount of $150,000, as well as to transfer to Spectrum 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock for bridge financing due diligence services. The Company paid the $150,000 in April and issued the 5,000,000 shares to Spectrum in May 2008. The shares were valued at $0.19 per share based on the Company’s stock trading price on the date of LOI for a total of $950,000, which was expensed by the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

BJ Petro’s bank did not accept the letter of credit from LCCom, Ltd. because its risk variables had changed. The Company was not able to place the letter of credit with another bank and after ninety (90) business days the letter of credit expired and became void. As a result, the Company recorded the $400,000 fee as failed transaction cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

The options vested immediately on the option grant date, have an exercise price of $0.25 per share and expire on October 16, 2017 (see Stock Option under Note 7). During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded an aggregate consulting expense of $59,660 for the options issued to Messrs. Miller and Pappas.
In January 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Everett Miller, our Board Member and a related party, to provide consulting services and support for business development of energy related properties, assist in development of the Company’s strategic marketing and business plan and to handle other duties as assigned by Company management. As compensation, the Company was required to issue a non-qualified stock option to Mr. Miller under its 2007 Stock Option Plan to purchase 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.25 per share. This option was issued by the Company on February 26, 2008 (see Stock Options under Note 7). The Company recorded consulting expense in the amount of $298,250 related to this option in the nine month period ending September 30, 2008. The term of this agreement was for a three month period commencing January 1, 2008 and is subject to cancellation by either party with 30-day written notice.
NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS NOT DISCLOSED ELSEWHERE
On November 4, 2008, the Company borrowed $150,000 from Carr Miller, a related party, and issued a promissory note that provided for interest at 20% per annum with a maturity date of May 4, 2009. Within thirty days of funding of the loan, Carr Miller is to receive 1,500,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, Carr Miller has the option to either receive all principal and interest due on the loan within ten days of the maturity date or to convert the principal and interest due on the notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average ten-day closing price of the stock immediately preceding the due date. In the event this note is unpaid within ten days of its maturity date, the Company will incur a late charge equal to 10% of the note amount.

General
The Indigo-Energy, Inc. (the “Company” or “Indigo” or “We”) is an independent energy company engaged primarily in the exploration of natural gas and oil in the Appalachian Basin in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky.
Indigo, formerly known as Procare America, Inc. (“Procare”) was incorporated in Minnesota on September 22, 1993 and in 1999 relocated its state domicile to Nevada. At the date of recapitalization on December 15, 2005, Procare was a public shell company, defined as an inactive, publicly quoted company with nominal assets and liabilities.
On December 15, 2005, pursuant to a stock exchange agreement between the Company and the shareholders of Indigo Land and Development, Inc. (“ILD”), the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of ILD through the issuance of 49,100,000 shares of our common stock directly to the ILD shareholders. The Company was the legal acquirer in the transaction. ILD was the accounting acquirer since its stockholders acquired a majority interest in the Company. The transaction was treated for accounting purposes as a recapitalization by the accounting acquirer (ILD). Upon completion of the recapitalization, the Company changed its name to Indigo-Energy, Inc.

Preferred divided recorded during 2007 was related to the amortization of beneficial conversion feature on our Series A convertible super preferred stock, which had all been converted into shares of our common stock at December 31, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through private sales of our common stock and the issuance of promissory notes. As of September 30, 2008, we had a cash balance of $157,637.
We require a minimum of approximately $9,200,000 for the next 12 months, which includes approximately $750,000 to pay for our outstanding professional fees, $1,300,000 to pay for the outstanding drilling costs to various drillers, $300,000 to the other former partners of Indigo LP as a result of the settlement agreement, $5,000,000 to pay our note payable obligation as well as $1,800,000 of accrued interest and additional funds to meet our capital needs for the anticipated drilling, development, and production activities on our property, as well as any other oil and gas properties we may acquire over the next twelve months. In addition to the minimum amount required, the Company expects to spend an additional $4,500,000 for lease acquisition and drilling activities. Moreover, in the event we locate additional prospects for acquisition, experience cost overruns at our current prospects or fail to generate projected revenues, we will also need additional funds during the next twelve months. We currently do not have sufficient funds to fund our current operations or such capital calls, pay our debts and other liabilities, and operate at our current levels for the next twelve months. Accordingly, we need to raise additional funds through sales of our securities or otherwise, immediately.
The Company plans to raise funds from private offerings of equity and debt securities in order to fund its operations through September 30, 2009.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company raising additional financing on terms desirable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are required or if the funds cannot be obtained on terms favorable to the Company, management may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate its well development program or even be required to relinquish its interest in one or more properties or in the extreme situation, cease operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These accounting principles require management to use estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management reviews its estimates, including those related to the determination of proved reserves, well completion percentage under the turnkey drilling programs, estimates of future dismantlement costs, estimates of future cash flows in valuing oil and gas proprieties, income taxes and litigation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Our most critical accounting policy is as follows:
We account for oil and gas properties and interests under the full cost method. Under the full cost method, all acquisition, exploration and development costs incurred for the purpose of finding oil and gas are capitalized and accumulated in pools on a country—by—country basis. We only are concentrating our exploration activities in the United States and therefore we will utilize a single cost center.
Capitalized costs will include the cost of drilling and equipping productive wells, including the estimated costs of dismantling and abandoning these assets, dry hole costs, lease acquisition costs, seismic and other geological and geophysical costs, delay rentals and costs related to such activities. Employee costs associated with production and other operating activities and general corporate activities are expensed in the period incurred.
The costs of investments in unproved properties and portions of costs associated with major development projects are excluded from the depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) calculation until the project is evaluated.
Unproved property costs include the costs associated with unevaluated properties and are not included in the full cost amortization base (where proved reserves exist) until the project is evaluated. These costs include unproved leasehold acreage, seismic data, wells in progress and wells pending determination, together with interest costs capitalized for these projects. Significant unproved properties are assessed periodically, but not less than annually, for possible impairment or reduction in value. If a reduction in value has occurred, these property costs are considered impaired and are transferred to the related full cost pool.
In situations where the existence of proved reserves has not yet been determined, unevaluated property costs remain capitalized in unproved property cost centers until proved reserves have been established, exploration activities cease or impairment and reduction in value occurs.
Impairment of unproved properties is based on factors such as the existence of events that may serve to impair the properties such as failure of a well, expiration of leases and comparison of carrying value of oil and gas properties with their fair market value at the end of the reporting period.
Asset Retirement Obligations
We have adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, “Asset Retirement Obligations” (“SFAS 143”) which requires us to recognize an estimated liability for the plugging and abandonment of our oil and gas wells and associated pipelines and equipment. The liability and the associated increase in the related long-lived asset are recorded in the period in which our asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) is incurred. The liability is accreted to its present value each period and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset.
The estimated liability is based on historical experience in plugging and abandoning wells, estimated remaining lives of those wells based on reserves estimates and federal and state regulatory requirements. The liability is discounted using an assumed credit-adjusted risk-free rate.
Revisions to the liability could occur due to changes in estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, changes in the risk-free rate or remaining lives of the wells, or if federal or state regulators enact new plugging and abandonment requirements. At the time of abandonment, we recognize a gain or loss on abandonment to the extent that actual costs do not equal the estimated costs.
Off Balance Sheet Reports
The Company had no off balance sheet transactions during the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS.
There have been no significant changes in our market risks since the year ended December 31, 2007. For more information, please read the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007, as amended, and the Registration Statement on Form S-1/A filed on July 15, 2008.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have carried out an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2008.
Based upon their evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) are not effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Office and chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Material Weaknesses
In our Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 under Item 8-A- Controls and Procedures, we identified material weaknesses in our system of internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
During the quarter ending September 30, 2008 we identified an additional material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as a result of discussions with our independent auditors. As more fully described in Note 4 of our financial statements contained herein we forwarded funds to, or on behalf, of River West Energy, LLC. We have determined River West Energy, LLC to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”). We are required to consolidate the financial transactions and information of the VIE in our financial statements with our operations. We have yet to receive supporting documentation for expenditures made by, or on behalf of, River West Energy. We are required under US securities regulations to maintain books and records to support the accounting transactions reflected in our financial statements and not having the documentation noted above represents a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes implemented to our system of internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2008.
Other
We intend to become compliant in implementing added internal controls, document present procedures and hire a consultant to assure compliance with new self-assurance requirements. We expect to hire additional accounting staff which will provide for the segregation of duties necessary for a strong system of internal control.
