In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2006 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year period.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Property and Equipment
The Company’s property and equipment consists of the following:
Office equipment | | | 145,880 | |
Residential rentals | | | 117,345 | |
Less accumulated depreciation | | | (148,714 | ) |
| | | 114,511 | |
Office equipment is depreciated on the straight line method over five and seven years and the residential rentals are depreciated on the straight line method over forty years.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise of any common share rights unless the exercise becomes antidilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report.
Capitalization of Oil Leases Costs
The Company uses the successful efforts cost method for recording its oil lease interests, which provides for capitalizing the purchase price of the project and the additional costs directly related to proving the properties and amortizing these amounts over the life of the reserve when operations begin or a shorter period if the property is shown to have an impairment in value or expensing the remaining balance if it is proven to be of no value. Expenditures for oil well equipment are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives.
Environmental Requirements
At the report date environmental requirements related to the mineral claim interests acquired are unknown and therefore an estimate of any future cost cannot be made.
Foreign Currency Translation
Part of the transactions of the Company were completed in Canadian dollars and have been translated to US dollars as incurred, at the exchange rate in effect at the time, and therefore, no gain or loss from the translations is recognized. US dollars are considered to be the functional currency.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be their estimated fair values due their short term maturities.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
At September 30, 2006, the Company had an approximate net operating loss available for carry forward of $9,000,000. The tax benefit of approximately $2,700,000 from the loss carry forward has been fully offset by a valuation reserve because the use of the future tax benefit is doubtful because the Company is unable to establish a predictable projection of operating profits for future years.
The net operating loss carryovers will expire beginning in the years 2005 through 2026.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized on the sale and transfer of properties or services and the receipt other sources of income.
Advertising and Market Development
The Company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred.
Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consists primarily of cash and account receivables. Cash balances are maintained in accounts that are not federally insured for amounts over $100,000 but are other wise in financial institutions of high credit quality. Accounts receivable are unsecured; however management considers them to be currently collectable.
Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements to have any material impact on its financial statements.
3. OIL LEASES - BEAUFORT SEA PROJECT
On June 9, 1997 the Company purchased a 3.745% working interest, for $67,913, in the Beaufort Sea well Esso Pex Home et al Itiyok I-27 consisting of 640 acres and is located at Latitude 70-00', Longitude 134-00', Sections 7, 8, 17, 18, 27, 28, and 37, License No. 55, dated April 22, 1987. During 1982 and 1983 a consortium of companies participated in the drilling, casing, and testing the area to a depth of 12,980 feet. A review of the well data and geological prognosis indicates that the area would contain proven recoverable gas reserves of 108 Bscf and proven recoverable oil reserves of 8,976 MSTB.
The lease is shown at cost, which is considered by management to be its estimated fair value.
The other partners in the project are controlled by Exxon Oil Corporation, however there are no immediate plans to develop the area until a gas pipe line becomes available.
4. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Officers-directors and their controlled entities and a consultant have acquired approximately 30% of the outstanding common stock of the Company and have received the restricted common capital stock issued to them.

4. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (continued)
The Company has made no interest, demand loans to affiliates of $59,020. The affiliations resulted through common officers between the Company and its affiliates, and the Company owns 13% of the outstanding stock of one of the affiliates.
5. GOING CONCERN
The Company will need additional working capital for its future planned activity and to service its debt, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining sufficient working capital to be successful in that effort. The management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective, through additional short term loans, and equity funding, which will enable the Company to operate for the coming year.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION |
For a complete understanding, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with Part I- Item 1. Financial Statements to this Form 10-QSB and the Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2006.
General
The Company is in the development stage and engaged in the acquisition of interests in gas and oil properties and the acquisition of interests in real estate. The Company has not been engaged in the production of any gas and oil. For a detailed description of the oil and gas and real estate holding of the Company, please see the Annual Report of the Company filed on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2006. Following is a brief description of relevant events that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
Business of the Company
Oil and Gas Interests
Beaufort Sea
The Company holds a 3.745% working interest in the Beaufort Sea well Esso Pex Home, et. al. Itiyok I-27, consisting of 640 acres, located at Latitude 70-00', Longitude 134-00', Sections 7, 8, 17, 18, 27, 28 and 37. License No. 55, dated April 22, 1987. During 1982 and 1983 a consortium of companies participated in drilling, casing and testing the area to a depth of 12,980 feet.
The main partner in the project is Imperial Oil Resources. A consortium of oil and gas companies has filed an application to build a natural gas pipeline that could be used to transport gas from the Beaufort Sea region. No current plans have been formulated to perform further work in the immediate Beaufort Sea area. It is anticipated this area will not be developed until a pipeline is built.
Bastian Bay Field, Plaquamines Parish, Louisiana
During the year, Imperial Petroleum Inc., the operator of Bastian Bay Field Lease #16152 in Plaquamines Parish Louisiana made a cash call to all participants in the well. The participants in the well were given the choice to pay the cash call or continue on a non-consent basis under which the non paying participants relinquishing half of their working interest. The Company determined that it was not in its best interest to meet the cash call. Therefore, the Company’s interest in this well decreased from 6.25% to 3.125%. The Company has not yet learned how Imperial intends to proceed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. As of this time Imperial has put work on the well on hold until further notice.
Henry Dome Prospect, Texas
The Company owns 2.5 participation units in the Henry Dome Prospect in McMullen County, Texas, for $12,500. These units give the Company a 1.875% working interest in JB Henry Dome #1 well. Initial flow testing of the well demonstrated flow of 450,000 cubic feet of gas per day. Following initial testing, acid washing of the well was performed to attempt to increase flow rates. Additional testing is ongoing as the operator has encountered many problems with this well. As part of the additional testing the operator is planning on installing an electric generator in November 2006 to try and increase the flow rate of gas. The estimated life expectancy of this well is at least six years.
Real Estate Interests
Abbecombec Ocean Village Resort
On July 12, 2006 the Company sold one of its two vacation homes in the Abbecombec Ocean Village Resort. The proceeds from the sale totaled $100,028.80. The Company is currently trying to sell the remaining property, but will continue renting the vacation home until such time as it is sold. During the quarter, the occupancy rate for the remaining vacation homes was 100%. The income generated by the remaining property is subject to a number of factors, including the time of year, occupancy rates among similar properties in the area and economic conditions in general. This property is not subject to any mortgage or other obligation and the Company believes the property is adequately insured. At this time the Company has no plans to renovate or otherwise improve the remaining property.
Cowichan Lake, Victoria, B.C.
The Company owns one lot on Upper Point Ideal Road in the Cowichan Lake District in Victoria B.C. The Company owns this lot free and clear of any mortgage, debt, encumbrance or obligation. The Company is currently attempting to sell this lot. The Company acquired this property for investment purposes and has no present intent to develop or improve this parcel.
The Company also owns approximately 5,254,365 or 5.7% of the outstanding common shares of Omega Ventures Group, Inc., a corporation whose common stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, stock symbol “OMGV.”
Executive Offices
The Company currently leases 200 square feet of executive office space located at 299 South Main Street, Suite 1300, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111. The offices are rented on a month-to-month basis for approximately $1,600 per month. The Company believes this space will be sufficient for its needs for the foreseeable future.
The monthly rent for the Canadian office, located at 610-800 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada V6C 2V6, is $2,560 per month. The Company is planning to close this office in February of 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company currently does not have sufficient cash reserves or cash flow from operations to meet its cash requirements. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company financed its operations primarily through credit arrangements extended to the Company from related parties. During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company received subscriptions to purchase 18,000,000 shares of its common stock in private placement transactions for cash totaling $2,450,000. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has received $23,000. The Company’s balance sheet reflects the remaining balance as stock subscriptions receivable. During the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company caused its transfer agent to issue the 18,000,000 shares. These shares, however, are being held in escrow and will only be delivered out as funds are received by the Company. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company issued on July 17, 2006 and August 25, 2006, 4.4 million and 1.53 million shares of common stock, respectively, to an officer of the Company and to other parties, in satisfaction of amounts payable in the amount of $ 420,000. As a result, accounts payable to related parties decreased to $313,694 compared to $807,686 at June 30, 2006.
On September 30, 2006, the Company had cash on hand of $43,036.
The Company has plans to further develop its oil and gas properties, which will require substantial additional working capital that the Company does not currently have. Moreover, the Company does not anticipate significant revenue from its operating activities in the upcoming quarter.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three months ended September 30,, 2006 and 2005
The Company sustained a net loss of $26,535 during the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to a loss of $122,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. This decrease in loss was primarily the result of the Company engaging in limited operations during the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same period of 2005, as a result of the Company having limited available funds. The Company incurred the following expenses:

Travel expenses decreased $12,951 or 75% to $4,225 during the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to September 30, 2005. This decrease in travel expenses was primarily the result of the Company engaging in limited operations during the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same period of 2005, as a result of the Company having limited available funds. The Company anticipates travel expenses will remain fairly constant until such time as the Company obtains additional funding.
Office expenses increased $8,918 or 112% to $16,868 during the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period 2005. This increase is primarily the result of transferring the Company’s executive offices from Vancouver, British Columbia to Salt Lake City, Utah, while continuing to maintain the Vancouver, British Columbia office. The Company is planning to close the Vancouver office in February 2006 in an effort to reduce office expenses in connection with the limited funds available to the Company. The Company expects this increase in office expenses to be a one time event and anticipates that future office expenses will return to levels more consistent with those experienced in prior quarters.
Professional fees increased slightly from $11,020 to $13,318 during the three months ended September 30, 2006. The Company expects professional expenses to continue at rates consistent with those experienced during the first quarter of the 2007 fiscal year and until such time as the Company has additional funds available for use.
Consultants’ fees decreased $48,010 or 69% to $21,772 during the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to three month period ended September 30, 2005. The Company has no employees, rather management retains consultants to provide the services the Company needs. Again, as a result of efforts to reduce expenses, the Company received only limited services from consultants during the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same three month period of 2005. The Company expects consultants’ fees to continue at lower levels in upcoming quarters unless the Company is able to obtain additional funding.
The Company incurred limited promotional expenses during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, $443, as compared to $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2005. This limited increase in promotional expenses, is in line with the Company’s efforts to control expenses as much as possible. The Company will continue to limit promotional expenses until such time as need and funding justifies increasing promotional efforts.
Rent expenses increased $8,075 or 127% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 2005. We anticipate rents will remain consistent with those experienced during the three month ended September 30, 2006 until the office lease for the Company’s Vancouver office expires later this year.
During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the Company incurred $0 in exploration and development expenses, compared to $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2005. The Company anticipates exploration and development expenses in the future will increase and return to higher levels in the upcoming fiscal quarters if the Company is able to obtain additional funding.
Other expenses decreased to $ 239 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $6,226 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. We anticipate other expenses in the upcoming quarter will remain consistent with those experienced during the first fiscal quarter 2007.
The Company generated no operating income during the three months ended September 30, 2006 or 2005. Non-operating income during the three months ended September 30, 2006, was $650 compared to $2,497 during the three months ended September 30, 2005.
