NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Unaudited, expressed in U.S. dollars) |
March 31, 2008
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The following interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007. In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassification has resulted in no changes to the Company’s accumulated deficit or net loss presented.
The statements of operations and cash flows reflect the results of operations and the changes in cash flows of the Company for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and are consolidated with the results of operations and changes in cash flows of its controlled subsidiaries from January 1, 2007 to March 31, 2007. The Company did not have any controlled subsidiaries during 2008. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material effect on its financial statements.
The Company measures it warrants at fair value in accordance with SFAS 157. SFAS 157 specifies a valuation hierarchy based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Unaudited, expressed in U.S. dollars) |
March 31, 2008
2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (cont’d)
- Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
- Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
- Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
This hierarchy requires the Company to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when estimating fair value. The fair value of the warrants using a black-scholes model [see note 4] using the following inputs at March 31, 2008:
Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets | | | Significant Other Observable Inputs | | | Significant Unobservable Inputs | |
Total | | (Level 1) | | | (Level 2) | | | (Level 3) | |
$ 5,000 | $ | — | | $ | 5000 | | $ | — | |
The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material effect on its financial statements.
3. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a net loss of $90,748 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 [2007 - $1,843,161] and at March 31, 2008 had a deficit accumulated during the exploration stage of $14,326,113 [2007 - $14,235,365]. The Company has not generated any revenue, has a substantial accumulated deficit and negative working capital of $288,273 as at March 31, 2008 [2007 - $205,682]. The Company requires additional funds to maintain its existing operations and to acquire new business assets. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are to raise equity and debt financing as required, but there is no certainty that such financing would be available or that it would be available at acceptable terms. Should the Company be unsuccessful in obtaining further debt or equity financing in the near future, it may have to sell off its remaining 10% equity interest in Cheetah BC. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.
On March 12, 2008 the Company entered into a demand loan agreement with Invicta Oil and Gas Ltd (“Invicta”) where Invicta agreed to advance up to $500,000 in tranches to the Company by way of a working capital loan[notes 6,7 &13]. On March 28, 2008, Invicta changed its name to LNG Energy Ltd.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

4. CONVERTIBLE NOTES
Convertible Notes Issued on March 14, 2006
On March 14, 2006, the Company issued convertible notes (“Convertible Notes”) to purchase shares of the Company's common stock for total gross proceeds of $5,000,000. The Convertible Notes were a liability that could have been converted into shares of the Company prior to payout by the Company. At November 14, 2007 the debt was settled in-full for $7,550,000 resulting in a gain on settlement of debt in the amount of $1,543,584.
In conjunction with the Convertible Notes, the Company issued 3,000,000 share purchase warrants, of which 2,000,000 warrants are exercisable into common stock at an exercise price of $3.25 per share, commencing after June 1, 2006, and expire on March 14, 2009, while 1,000,000 warrants are exercisable into common stock at an exercise price of $3.75 per share, commencing after June 1, 2006, and expire on March 14, 2009. There are no conditions attached to the warrant holders’ ability to exercise the warrants in accordance with the terms noted above.
The fair value of the warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
| | March 31, 2008 | | | December 31, 2007 | |
Risk free interest rate | | 4.00% | | | 4.00% | |
Expected life | | 348 days | | | 438 days | |
Expected volatility | | 170% | | | 149% | |
Dividend per share | | $Nil | | | $Nil | |
The fair value of the warrants as at March 31, 2008, was $5,000 (2007 - $16,000 and fair value upon issuance of convertible note on March 14, 2006 was $2,300,000). During the three month period ended March 31, 2008 the movement in the fair value of the warrants was recorded as income in the statement of operations of $11,000 (2007 -$65,041).
5. INVESTMENT IN CHEETAH OIL & GAS (B.C.) LIMITED
On November 30, 2007 the Company closed on the transaction with Invicta resulting in the dilution of 90% ownership of Cheetah Oil & Gas Ltd. (“Cheetah BC”). The final consideration received by the Company totaled $13,691,278, allocated between the cancellation of the Convertible Notes ($7,550,000) and settlement of the other liabilities owing to creditors of the Company ($6,141,278). Of the consideration agreed to be paid by Invicta to the Company’s creditors, a balance of $340,000 remained outstanding at March 31, 2008 and was included in the balance of receivables.
In addition to the above, a unanimous shareholders agreement was entered into between the Company, Invicta and Cheetah BC whereby the parties agreed to the following:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Unaudited, expressed in U.S. dollars) |
March 31, 2008
5. INVESTMENT IN CHEETAH OIL & GAS (B.C.) LIMITED (cont’d)
| 1. | The cancellation of any debt due from Cheetah BC to the Company, after the settlement of the Company’s debts totaling $13,691,278. |
| | |
| 2. | Invicta agrees to contribute $10,000,000 to Cheetah BC as a contribution of capital on or before December 31, 2008. |
| | |
| 3. | Proportionate contributions to the joint oil and gas exploration program of 90% on the part of Invicta and 10% on the part of the Company, subsequent to the contribution commitment described in clause (2). Future contributions have not been factored into the carrying value of the investment. |
| | |
| 4. | Once Invicta has fulfilled the contribution commitment described in clause (2), if the Company fails to contribute all or any portion of its proportionate contribution within 30 days of receiving a funding request, and provided that Invicta has fulfilled its contribution obligation with respect to such funding request, then Invicta may pay all of the Company’s contribution deficiency. Any amount advanced by Invicta on behalf of the Company shall bear interest at a rate of 18% per annum, calculated annually on the anniversary date of such advance. The principal amount of such loan advance and all accrued interest payable thereon shall become due and payable in-full on the earlier of the third anniversary of such an advance and the date, if any upon which the Company disposes of any of its shares of Cheetah BC. |
As a result of the Company’s dilution of 90% ownership in Cheetah BC on November 30, 2007, the Company ceased to consolidate the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows of Cheetah BC and subsidiary companies as at that date. In addition, the Company did not exercise any significant influence over Cheetah BC as a result of its residual 10% ownership interest. The carrying value of the Company’s remaining investment in Cheetah BC ($1,521,329) was calculated at 10% of the carrying value of the net assets of Cheetah BC and subsidiary companies immediately before the dilution under the equity method of accounting for business combinations. Future contributions have not been factored into the carrying value of the investment.
6. ADVANCES PAYABLE
Advances payable consist of advances made in February 2008 by two unrelated parties totaling $45,000 US and $5,000 Cdn.

11. CONTINGENCIES
On January 30, 2008, at a reconvened extraordinary meeting of Scotia Petroleum Inc (“Scotia”), a company controlled by Cheetah BC, the majority shareholder of Scotia approved the sale of all the issued and outstanding shares of Scotia to Cheetah Oil & Gas (PNG) Ltd. (“Cheetah PNG”) another company controlled by Cheetah BC. As the sale constitutes a sale of all of Scotia’s property, Section 238 of the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia grants each of Scotia’s shareholders a right of dissent with respect to the sale. Four minority shareholders of Scotia dissented with respect to the sale and filed a claim. Under the terms of an agreement that the Company entered into resulting in the dilution of 90% ownership of Cheetah BC as disclosed in note 5, the Company is liable for settlement of any dissenting shareholder claims arising out of the sale of Scotia to Cheetah PNG. In March 2008, the Company submitted a proposal to four dissenting minority shareholders in which it proposed to transfer an aggregate of 750,000 common stock in the capital of the Company in full and final settlement of the dissenting minority shareholders’ claim. The Company accrued $60,000 for this liability as at December 31, 2007 representing the approximate fair value of common stock being offered to the dissenting minority shareholders. As at March 31, 2008 no change was made to the accrued liability of $60,000.

12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements however, the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As described in note 6, the Company entered into a demand loan agreement with Invicta where Invicta agreed to advance up to $500,000 in tranches to the Company by way of a working capital loan. The loan is secured against the Company’s 10% equity investment in Cheetah BC and carries an interest rate of 8% per annum. An initial amount of $200,000 was advanced to the Company on April 2, 2008.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors" that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our unaudited interim financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Company’s audited financial statements and 10KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 and unaudited interim financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all references to "common shares" refer to common shares in the capital of our Company and the terms "we", "us" and "our" mean Cheetah Oil & Gas Ltd.
Overview
We are a Nevada corporation incorporated on May 5, 1992. We are an exploration stage oil and gas company engaged in the exploration for petroleum and natural gas in the country of Papua New Guinea through our ten percent equity interest in Cheetah Oil & Gas B.C. Ltd. (“Cheetah BC”). We were previously intending to enter into the businesses of a technology venture finance company to organize, capitalize, acquire and finance technology companies, and subsequent to that attempted to acquire certain resource leases in the Raton Basin. Due to the inability to run these businesses with a profit, the default on the obligations of certain parties and the difficulty in attracting additional capital on terms favorable to existing shareholders, our previous management ceased operation of all prior businesses in 2002.
We currently hold a ten percent equity interest in Cheetah BC. Cheetah BC currently holds five petroleum prospecting licences and one petroleum retention licence in Papua New Guinea covering approximately 8.3 million acres. PRL 13, PPL 246 and PPL 250 are located in South-Central of Papua New Guinea and PPL 245, PPL 249 and PPL 252 are located along the Northern Coast.
Cash Requirements
We are an exploration stage oil and gas company engaged in the exploration for petroleum and natural gas. We currently hold a 10% equity interest in Cheetah BC, an exploration stage oil and gas company engaged in the exploration for petroleum and natural gas in the country of Papua New Guinea.
Our Company has a limited operating history and is considered in the exploration stage. The success of our Company is significantly dependent on a successful drilling, completion and production program by our partner Invicta Oil & Gas Ltd. (Invicta). On March 28, 2008, Invicta changed its name to LNG Energy Ltd.
In order to maintain our 10% equity interest in Cheetah BC, we anticipate that we will require a minimum of $500,000 to fund estimated working capital for the next 12 months. To this end, we entered into an agreement with
4
Invicta on March 12, 2008 whereby Invicta has agreed to advance by way of a loan up to $500,000 to fund our estimated working capital requirements for the next 12 months. The loan carries an annual interest rate of 8% and is secured against our 10% equity interest in Cheetah BC. However, there is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates, in which case we will require additional funds. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock options in accordance with FAS 123 (R) – Share Based Payment, and related interpretations in accounting for stock-based compensation awards to employees, directors and non-employees. In accordance withFAS 123 (R)– Share Based Payments,the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the stock options on the date of grant. The fair value of the stock options at the date of grant is amortized over the vesting period, with the offsetting credit to additional paid in capital. If the stock options are exercised, the proceeds are credited to share capital.
Going Concern
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a net loss of $90,748 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 [2007 - $1,843,161] and at March 31, 2008 had a deficit accumulated during the exploration stage of $14,326,113 [December 31, 2007 - $14,235,365]. The Company has not generated any revenue, has a substantial accumulated deficit and negative working capital of $288,273 as at March 31, 2008. The Company requires additional funds to maintain its existing operations and to acquire new business assets. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are to raise equity and debt financing as required, but there is no certainty that such financing would be available or that it would be available at acceptable terms. Should the Company be unsuccessful in obtaining further debt or equity financing in the near future, it may have to sell off its remaining 10% equity interest in Cheetah BC. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.
On March 12, 2008 the Company entered into a demand loan agreement with Invicta whereby Invicta agreed to advance up to $500,000 in tranches to the Company by way of a working capital loan.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Revenues
We have had no operating revenues since our inception on May 5, 1992 through to the period ended March 31, 2008. We anticipate that we will not generate any revenues for so long as we are an exploration stage company.
General and Administrative
The decrease in our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was due to the transaction for the dilution of 90% ownership of Cheetah BC and the retirement of the convertible notes payable to Macquarie Holdings (USA) Inc. (“Macquarie”).
Accounting, Audit and Legal
The decrease in accounting, audit and legal fees for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was due to the transaction for the dilution of 90% ownership of Cheetah BC and the retirement of the convertible notes payable to Macquarie.
Consulting Fees
The decrease in consulting fees for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was due to a decrease in payments to the directors. During the period ending March 31, 2008 only two directors received monthly fees.
6
Interest and Accretion
The decrease in interest and accretion for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was due to the transaction for the dilution of 90% ownership of Cheetah BC and the retirement of the convertible notes payable to Macquarie.
Foreign Exchange Gain
The decrease in foreign exchange gain for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was due to the transaction for the dilution of 90% ownership of Cheetah BC.
Unrealized gains (loss) on warrants
The change in unrealized gains (loss) on the warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was due to the shorter period of time when the warrants expire, increase in the rate of volatility and the decrease in the stock price.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $41,720 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared with cash used in operating activities of $301,305 in the same period in 2007. The decrease of $259,585 in operating activities is mainly attributable to the dilution of 90% ownership of Cheetah BC. As a result of this transaction the Company now only holds a 10% equity investment in Cheetah BC and, as a result, the scale of the Company’s operations, as well as costs associated with such operations, has been significantly reduced.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $Nil in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $160,480 in the same period in 2007 was mainly attributable to the dilution of 90% ownership of Cheetah BC. As a result of this transaction the Company now only holds a 10% equity investment in Cheetah BC and, as a result, the scale of the Company’s operations, as well as costs associated with such operations has been significantly reduced.

Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $49,892 in the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $897,267 in the same period in 2007, a decrease of $847,375. This is mainly attributable to the decrease in advances received.
Contractual Obligations
The Company does not have any contractual obligations or commercial commitments as of March 31, 2008.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements, however, the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Changes in Accounting Policies
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements.
The Company measures it warrants at fair value in accordance with SFAS 157. SFAS 157 specifies a valuation hierarchy based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
- Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
- Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
- Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
8
This hierarchy requires the Company to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when estimating fair value. The fair value of the warrants using a black-scholes model [see note 4] using the following inputs at March 31, 2008:
Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets | | | Significant Other Observable Inputs | | | Significant Unobservable Inputs | |
Total | | (Level 1) | | | (Level 2) | | | (Level 3) | |
$ 5,000 | $ | — | | $ | 5,000 | | $ | — | |
The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material effect on its financial statements.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under theSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (also our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of March 31, 2008, the end of our first quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (also our principal executive officer) and our secretary, treasurer and chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president (also our
9
principal executive officer) and our secretary, treasurer and chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended). In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. It should be noted that in the fourth financial quarter of 2006 we appointed a new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the internal controls and procedures as implemented by prior Management were inadequate. Since their appointment in October 2006, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have implemented measures to revise and improve our internal controls and procedures to increase our effectiveness. In addition, further changes were implemented over the past year to insure compliance with internal policies and to evaluate on an ongoing basis the effectiveness of our policies and improved disclosure control and procedures as they relate to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2003. In particular, as part of this program we engaged an independent accounting firm experienced in US generally accepted accounting principles to review and to advise in respect to the preparation of our financial statements, and to provide accounting counsel on various matters relating thereto on an ongoing basis. Further, we also engaged independent accounting counsel with experience in matters relating to taxation on a multi-jurisdictional level, to advise and ensure the adequacy and accuracy of our tax reporting and disclosure and that we are in compliance in this regard. In addition to the foregoing we continue to monitor our internal controls and in particular, to segregate accounting and financial reporting duties.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) inInternal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is ineffective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. Our management reviewed the results of their assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
Inherent limitations on effectiveness of controls
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgement and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Other than the issue noted below, we know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our Company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, executive officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
On January 30, 2008, at a reconvened extraordinary meeting of Scotia Petroleum Inc. (“Scotia”), the majority shareholder of Scotia approved the sale of all the issued and outstanding shares of Scotia to Cheetah Oil & Gas PNG Ltd. (“Cheetah PNG”). As the sale constitutes a sale of all of Scotia’s property, Section 238 of the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia grants each of Scotia’s shareholders a right of dissent with respect to the sale. Four minority shareholders of Scotia dissented with respect to the sale and filed a claim. Under the terms of the Agreement that the Company entered into, the Company is liable for settlement of any dissenting shareholder claims arising out of the sale of Scotia to Cheetah PNG. In March 2008, the Company submitted a proposal to four dissenting minority shareholders in which it proposed to transfer an aggregate of 750,000 common stock in the capital of the Company in full and final settlement of the dissenting minority shareholders’ claim. The Company accrued $60,000 for this liability as at December 31, 2007 representing the approximate fair value of common stock being offered to the dissenting minority shareholders. As at March 31, 2008 no change was made to the accrued liability of $60,000. The Company has not finalized on the settlement.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
Such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution readers of this quarterly report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". In evaluating us, our business and any investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the following factors.
Risks Related to our Business
We have yet to attain profitable operations and because we will need to secure additional financing to maintain our 10% equity interest in Cheetah BC there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our Company has a limited operating history and is considered in the development stage. The success of our Company is significantly dependent on a successful drilling, completion and production program by our partner Invicta. Our Company’s investment will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing
11
enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. No assurance can be given that we may be able to operate on a profitable basis. We are in the exploration stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the exploration stage. There can be no assurance that our business plan will prove successful, and no assurance that we may be able to operate profitably, if at all.
In their report on our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, our independent auditors included explanatory paragraphs regarding their substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. This was due to the significant uncertainty regarding our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses. Notwithstanding the completion of the dilution of the Company’s 90% ownership interest in Cheetah BC resulting from the subscription of shares of Cheetah BC by Invicta on November 30, 2007, our Company will require a minimum of $500,000 to fund estimated working capital for the calendar year 2008. However, there is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates, in which case we will require additional financing to fund operations.
Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.
Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of our development. Our partner is engaged in the business of exploring and, if warranted, developing commercial reserves of oil and gas. The properties in which we have a 10% equity interest through our residual investment in Cheetah BC are in the exploration stage only and are without known reserves of oil and gas. Accordingly, we have not received any revenues nor have we realized a profit from our interests to date and there is little likelihood that we will generate any revenues or realize any profits in the short term. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating and developing economic reserves of oil and gas, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth herein. Since we have not generated any revenues, we will have to raise additional monies through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to maintain our 10% equity interest in Cheetah BC. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time.
All or a portion of our interest in our properties may be lost if we are unable to obtain significant additional financing, as we are required to make significant contributions towards expenditures on the exploration and development of our properties.
Our ability to fund our portion of exploration and, if warranted, development expenditures on the properties will be dependent upon our ability to raise significant additional financing. If we are unable to obtain such financing, our interest in these properties may be lost in part or entirely. We have limited financial resources and no material cash flow from operations and we are dependent for funds on our ability to sell our common shares, primarily on a private placement basis. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on that basis in light of factors such as the market demand for our securities, the state of financial markets generally and other relevant factors.
We anticipate that we may need to obtain additional bank financing or sell additional debt or equity securities in future public or private offerings. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available to us to fulfill our obligations under the agreement with Invicta. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favorable.
Due to the losses incurred since inception, our stockholders’ deficiencies and not having generated any revenues to date nor currently generating any revenues, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to the losses incurred since inception, our accumulated deficit, and lack of revenues.
12
There can be no assurance that, if required, any such financing will be available upon terms and conditions acceptable to us, if at all. Our inability to obtain additional financing in a sufficient amount when needed upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Company could have a materially adverse effect upon our Company. We will need funds sufficient to meet our operating expenses and will require further funds to maintain our 10% equity interest in Cheetah BC. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, further dilution to existing or future shareholders is likely to result. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate the development of our Company. Inadequate funding could also impair our ability to compete in the marketplace, which may result in the dissolution of our Company.
13
The decisions regarding the development and exploration of our only asset, the properties held by Cheetah BC, is dependent upon the management of Invicta, our partner, and thus beyond our control.
Since we only hold a 10% equity interest in Cheetah BC we are not able to make any decisions regarding the development and exploration of the properties held by Cheetah BC (the "Properties"). All development and exploration decisions in relation to the Properties will be made by Invicta.
Substantial funds will be required to decide whether the properties in which we have interests contain commercial oil and gas deposits and whether they should be brought into production. If sufficient funds cannot be secured the potential on these properties may never be realized.
Substantial funds will be required to determine whether the properties in which we hold a 10% equity interest contain commercial oil and gas deposits and should be brought into production. This decision to invest our proportionate amount in the development of these properties will involve consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including but not limited to: (1) costs of bringing a property into production, including exploration and development work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities; (2) availability and costs of financing; (3) ongoing costs of production; (4) market prices for the oil and gas to be produced; (5) environmental compliance regulations and restraints; and (6) political climate, governmental regulation and control.
The properties in which we hold an interest may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, or transfers which have not been recorded or detected through title searches, and are subject to a governmental right of participation, resulting in a possible claim against any future revenues generated by such properties.
We believe our interests and that of our partners in the licences are valid and enforceable given that they have been granted directly by the government of Papua New Guinea, although we have not obtained an opinion of counsel or any similar form of title opinion to that effect. However, these licences do not guarantee title against all possible claims. The properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, or transfers which have not been recorded or detected through title research. Further, the properties are subject to a 22.5% back-in participation right in favor of the government, which the government may exercise upon payment of 22.5% of the expenses incurred in the development of the property. This back–in interest includes a 2% of revenue royalty payment to indigenous groups, which is only payable if the government exercises its back-in right. If these interests are challenged, we may have to expend funds defending any such claims and may ultimately lose some or all of any revenues generated from the properties if we lose our interest in such properties.
All of our projects are located in Papua New Guinea where oil and gas exploration activities may be affected in varying degrees by political and government regulations which could have a negative impact on our ability to continue our operations.
Certain projects in which we have interests are located in Papua New Guinea. Exploration activities in Papua New Guinea may be affected in varying degrees by political instabilities and government regulations relating to the oil and gas industry. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions are beyond our control and may adversely affect our business. Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes, expropriations of property, environmental legislation and safety. The status of Papua New Guinea as a developing country may make it more difficult for us to obtain any required financing for our projects. The effect of all these factors cannot be accurately predicted. Notwithstanding the progress achieved in restructuring Papua New Guinea political institutions and revitalizing its economy, the present administration, or any successor government, may not be able to sustain the progress achieved. While the Papua New Guinea economy has experienced growth in recent years, such growth may not continue in the future at similar rates or at all. If the economy of Papua New Guinea fails to continue its growth or suffers a recession, we may not be able to continue our operations in that country. We do not carry political risk insurance.
14
The loss of any of our key management personnel would have an adverse impact on future development and could impair our ability to succeed.
We are dependent on our ability to hire and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel, including Georgina Martin, Isaac Moss and Ian McKinnon who are also our directors and officers. We face competition for qualified personnel from numerous industry sources, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms. The loss of service of any of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial condition.
As our properties are in the exploration stage there can be no assurance that we will establish commercial discoveries on our properties.
Exploration for economic reserves of oil and gas is subject to a number of risk factors. Few of the properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing oil and/or gas wells. Our properties are in the exploration stage only and are without proven reserves of oil and gas. There can be no assurance that we will establish commercial discoveries on any of our properties.
The potential profitability of oil and gas ventures depends upon factors beyond the control of our Company.
The potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls, or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social, and economic environments. Additionally, due to world-wide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. These changes and events may materially affect our financial performance.
Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic in the event water or other deleterious substances are encountered which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well. In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances. The marketability of oil and gas which may be acquired or discovered will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection. The extent of these factors cannot be accurately predicted but the combination of these factors may result in our Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.
Competition in the oil and gas industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring the licenses.
The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staffs. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds. There can be no assurance that the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed. There are other competitors that have operations in the properties in Papua New Guinea and the presence of these competitors could adversely affect our ability to acquire additional property interests.
Oil and gas operations are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our Company. Further, exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our operations.
Oil and gas operations in Papua New Guinea are subject to federal and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and gas operations in Papua New Guinea are also subject to federal and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods
15
and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. No assurance can be given that environmental standards imposed by federal or local authorities will not be changed or that any such changes would not have material adverse effects on our interests. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, our interests may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which we may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons.
Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on our interests or financial condition to date. Specifically, our interests are subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.
Exploratory drilling involves many risks and we may become liable for pollution or other liabilities which may have an adverse effect on our financial position.
Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, power outages, labor disruptions, blow-outs, sour gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor, and other risks are involved. Our interests may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which we cannot adequately insure or which we may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.
Any change to government regulation/administrative practices in regards to conducting business generally in Papua New Guinea may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and our profitability.
There is no assurance that the laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in Papua New Guinea or any other jurisdiction, will not be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter the ability of our Company to carry on our business in Papua New Guinea.
The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on us. Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitability in Papua New Guinea.
16
A majority of our directors and officers are located outside the United States, with the result that it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or any of our directors or officers.
A majority of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. Consequently, you may be effectively prevented from pursuing remedies under United States federal securities laws against our directors or officers.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
Additional authorized common shares issued in the future will decrease the existing shareholders’ percentage equity ownership and, depending upon the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to the existing shareholders.
Our constating documents authorize the issuance of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, each with a par value of $0.001 and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.001. The amendment to our corporation’s Articles to increase our authorized share capital and authorize the preferred shares does not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing shareholders. However, our board of directors will have the authority to issue authorized common stock and the preferred shares without requiring future shareholders approval of such issuances, except as may be required by applicable law or exchange regulations. To the extent that additional authorized common shares are issued in the future, they will decrease the existing shareholders’ percentage equity ownership and, depending upon the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to the existing shareholders.
The increase in the authorized number of shares of our common stock and the subsequent issuance of such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company without further action by the shareholders. Shares of authorized and unissued common stock could be issued (within limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions. Any such issuance of additional stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of common stock, and such additional shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of our Company.
Penny stock rules will limit the ability of our stockholders to sell their stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
17
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a shareholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for its shares.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
We have agreed to issue 100,000 shares of our common stock to Invicta as consideration for providing the loan to our Company, issuable at a deemed price of $0.08 per share. The shares will be issued pursuant to Regulation S promulgated with the United States Securities Act of 1933 as amended, as Invicta is not a “U.S. Person” as defined under Regulation S.
Item 3. Default upon Invicta Loan Agreement
With reference to the loan agreement dated March 12, 2008 between Cheetah and Invicta for the principal amount of $500,000 due on demand, the following events constitutes a default by Cheetah (The Borrower) unless Invicta (Lender) agrees to waive such default:
The Borrower fails to pay any amount owing to the Lender under this agreement when due, and such amount remains unpaid for five days;
Any of the representations or warranties of the Borrower in this Agreement are misleading, or incorrect in any material respect;
The Lender ceases to have a valid, perfected and enforceable charge over the Collateral;
An order is made or a resolution passed by the liquidation or winding-up of the Borrower; or
If the Borrower becomes insolvent, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due or otherwise acknowledges its insolvency, commits an act of bankruptcy, makes an assignment or bulk sale of its assets, is adjudged or declared bankrupt or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a proposal or similar action under theBankruptcy and Insolvency Act(Canada),the Companies Creditors’Arrangement Act(Canada) or any similar legislation, or commences any other proceedings relating to it under any reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction whether now or thereafter in effect, or consents to any such proceeding.
