NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by Indigo-Energy, Inc. (the “Company” or “Indigo”), 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 modification of certain notes payable that were accounted for as a Troubled Debt Restructuring (see Note 4) and in 2009, the modification of certain notes payable that were accounted for as a Troubled Debt Restructuring. 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 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2010. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent quarter or for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
For comparability purposes, certain figures for the prior periods have been reclassified where appropriate to conform to the financial statements presentation used in the current reporting period. These reclassifications have no effect on the reported net loss, except as disclosed in Note 2.
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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management periodically reviews its estimates, including those related to the determination of proved reserves, well completion percentage under the drilling program, estimates of future dismantlement costs, estimates of average expected life and annual forfeitures of stock options and warrants, estimates of fair market value of debt used in evaluating whether the accounting for debt modifications should be accounted for as a troubled debt restructuring or as an extinguishment or modification of debt, estimates for the liability for variable conversion features on its convertible debt, estimates of future cash flows in valuing oil and gas properties, income taxes and litigation and estimates of the fair value of the derivatives associated with some of our warrants, certain non-employee stock options, and convertible debt instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management believes that it is reasonably possible the following material estimates affecting the financial statements could significantly change in the coming year: (1) estimates of proved gas reserves; (2) estimates as to the expected future cash flows from proved gas properties; and (3) estimates of the fair value of the derivatives associated with certain warrants, non-employee stock options, and convertible debt instruments.
Cash
Cash includes cash on hand. The Company did not have any cash equivalents during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the fair value hierarchy as established by US GAAP. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure the fair value as follows.
| • | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| • | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date. |
| • | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use to price the assets or liabilities at the measurement date. |
US GAAP requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants and non-employee stock-options to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and subject to re-measurement at their fair value. In estimating the appropriate fair value, the Company uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at September 30, 2010 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| | Level I | | | Level II | | | Level III | | | Total | |
Cash | | $ | 126,100 | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 126,100 | |

Derivative liability | | | - | | | | - | | | | (212,408 | ) | | | (212,408 | ) |
Derivative liability was valued under the Black-Scholes model, with the following assumptions:

Expected life | | 0.05 to 7.09 years | |
Dividend yield | | | 0 | % |
Volatility | | 170% to 312 | % |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recent accounting pronouncements that the Company expects to have a material impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 2 - RESTATEMENT TO PRIOR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This restatement is to correct an error in the application of certain accounting principles related to the issuance of some of the Company’s previously issued and vested non-employee stock options and warrant transactions resulting from the Global Settlement Agreement with the former partners of Indigo-Energy Partners, LP which occurred during prior periods. These vested non-employee options and warrants were previously recorded in equity. Due to the Company having other instruments outstanding that were convertible into an indeterminate number of shares of common stock at the grant date of the vested non-employee options and warrants, these options and warrants should have been classified as liabilities. The net effect of the restatement on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 is described below and is deemed by the the company to be not material.
The net effect of the restatement related to valuation adjustments of the derivative liabilities on the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 is as follows:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded amortization of deferred loan fees in the amount of $425,600.

Carr Miller Modification and Consolidation Agreement – Related Party
As of December 31, 2009 the Company had obligations due to Carr Miller Capital, LLC (“Carr Miller”) aggregating $7,246,218 under multiple agreements previously entered into with Carr Miller, the details of which are included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed on April 15, 2010. Prior to the Modification and Consolidation Agreement discussed below, the Company recognized amortization and interest related to these Carr Miller obligations totaling $716,867 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
On March 12, 2010, the Parties agreed to enter into a Global Financing Agreement Extension with Carr Miller, whereby Carr Miller’s commitment to provide the Company with the remaining funding shall be extended to June 30, 2010. In satisfaction of its commitment under the GFA, Carr Miller shall, prior to June 30, 2010, have the option to (a) return an aggregate of 14,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock currently registered under Carr Miller’s name to the Company for cancellation; (b) cancel and forgive certain debts owed by the Company to Carr Miller in the amount of $1,425,000; or (c) provide the Company with the remaining funding as set forth under the December 2008 GFA. On July 30, 2010, Carr Miller agreed to return the 14,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and the Parties agreed that Carr Miller will return the shares no later than September 30, 2010. The shares were returned in November 2010.
Additionally, on March 25, 2010, the Company entered into a Modification and Consolidation Agreement with Carr Miller whereby all outstanding Carr Miller promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $7,321,218, plus all accrued interest and penalties thereon, were consolidated into one new promissory note (“New Note”). The New Note has a principal amount of $8,376,169 and states that commencing March 25, 2012, the Company is required to make equal monthly installment payments of principal and interest on the note. The New Note has a maturity date of March 25, 2014 and bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. 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. As an inducement to enter into the Modification and Consolidation Agreement, within thirty days of the agreement, the lender is also to receive one share of the Company’s common stock for every dollar of the principal amount of the loan. In accordance therewith, Carr Miller was issued 8,376,169 shares of the Company’s common stock in March 2010.
This transaction has been accounted for as a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”). The transaction was determined to be a TDR based on the creditor being deemed to have granted a concession since the debtor’s effective borrowing rate on the restructured debt is less than the effective borrowing rate of the old debt immediately prior to the restructuring. In addition, on the modification date it was determined that the total future cash payments under the terms of the modified note were greater than the carrying amount of the original note. Accordingly, the effects of the restructuring were accounted for prospectively from the time of the restructuring, and the difference between the total future cash payments under the terms of the modified note and the carrying amount of the original note were amortized to interest expense. Accordingly, the Company recorded interest expense in the amount of $504,641 for the nine months ending September 30, 2010. The Company recorded additional interest expense in the amount of $418,808 for the nine months ending September 30, 2010.

There was no incremental cost that resulted from the modification of the previously issued stock options.
NOTE 6 - GOING CONCERN
The Company 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.
The Company plans to raise funds from private offerings of equity and debt securities in addition to expected revenue from its gas wells in order to fund its operations through September 30, 2011. 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 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - NOT DISCLOSED ELSEWHERE

In addition, he will receive an annual consulting fee of $250,000, which will be phased in, in accordance with available cash flow and operational considerations. The term of this agreement is six months commencing April 1, 2010 and shall automatically renew for subsequent three month terms unless terminated with 30 days notice by either party. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the company recorded compensation expense and a corresponding accrued expense in the amount of $125,000.

The shares were issued in June 2010. The term of this agreement is six months commencing April 1, 2010.

General
We are an independent energy company, currently engaged in the exploration of natural gas and oil. Our strategy is to profitably grow reserves and production, primarily through acquiring oil and gas leasehold interests and participating in or actively conducting drilling operations in order to exploit those interests.
We have incurred losses since our inception. We are delinquent on many of our obligations to our creditors. Our current liabilities exceed our current assets and we will need additional capital to fund our operations. There are no assurances that we will receive funding to implement our business plan and our independent registered accountant indicated in their opinion included in our 2009 annual financial statements that there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have enjoyed substantial progress in the development of our strategic operating plan, as developed at the last shareholders’ meeting. We had set target goals in three specific areas, particularly: (1) new drilling and operating wells, (2) improving our balance sheet and improving our cash flow; and (3) securing sufficient capital to move the Company forward through a combination of debt and equity instruments.
| · | With regards to the new well development, our hub and spoke gas well is in the final stages of completion. We have connected the wells to the gas cleaning plant which is also connected to the purchasing pipeline. We believe this well is within weeks of production and early indications are very promising. Also in the Dubois field in the Illinois Basin, we have successfully drilled a vertical oil well which is coming into production and is generating revenue. |
| · | As to balance sheet improvements, we have restructured a number of promissory notes, worked out settlements with 2 of our 3 operating drillers to improve cash flow, and converted a number of notes into equity at a favorable conversion rate. The Company continues to restructure notes and obligations to favorable longer term liabilities. |
| · | Regarding the search for partnership in development of additional drilling opportunities, we are in various stages of securing commitments to follow the successful Dubois drilling program with similar programs as well as the potential acquisition of a current operating field. |
We need to raise significant funds for future drilling and operating costs. Any fundraising conducted by us will most likely result in the issuance of additional shares of our common stock which will dilute the ownership interests of the Company’s current shareholders. We expect that our cash needs for the next twelve months will be approximately $9,630,000 to fund our current obligations under the various agreements to which we are a party.
During the next 12 months, we do not anticipate any significant changes in the number of our employees other than to add adequate field operating personnel to enable us to monitor and further develop our drilling and operating opportunities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through private sales of our common stock and the use of debt and convertible debt instruments. As of September 30, 2010, we had a cash balance of $126,100.
We require a minimum of approximately $9,630,000 for the next 12 months, which includes approximately $560,000 needed to pay for outstanding professional fees owed, $1,700,000 to pay for outstanding drilling costs to various drillers, $1,450,000 to pay our notes payable obligations, including convertible notes and $260,000 to pay accrued interest, and $1,060,000 to fund other operating costs. In addition to the minimum amount required, we expect to spend approximately $4,600,000 for 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 need additional funds during the next month. We currently do not have sufficient resources to fund our current operations or 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.
If we are unable to obtain additional funds on terms favorable to us, if at all, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our exploration and well development programs and may be required to relinquish our interest in one or more of our projects or, in the extreme case, cease operations.
