NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
|
November 30, 2009
|
(unaudited)
|
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
|
1.
|
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
|
|
|
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
for the quarter ended November 30, 2009 included herein have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
August 31, 2009 audited annual consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto.
|
|
|
2.
|
GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
|
|
|
|
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates
the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and
commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
The Company incurred a net loss of $98,889 for the three months ended
November 30, 2009 [net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2008
$18,283] and as at November 30, 2009 has incurred cumulative losses of
$1,362,362 that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern. Management has been able, thus far, to finance the
operations through equity financing and cash on hand. There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to continue to finance the Company
on this basis.
|
|
|
|
In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company
to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent upon
its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a
timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, to
receive the continued support of the Companys shareholders, and
ultimately to obtain successful operations. These unaudited interim
consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments
which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a
going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and
discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and
at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying unaudited
interim consolidated financial statements.
|
|
|
|
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
|
|
a)
|
Basis of Consolidation
|
|
|
|
|
|
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Target Energy, Inc., and its equity interest of Pro Eco Energy
Inc. All significant inter- company balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
|
|
|
|
|
b)
|
New Accounting Pronouncements
|
|
|
|
|
|
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB No. 166(ASC 860),
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 140 (SFAS 166). SFAS 166(ASC 860) requires additional
disclosures about the transfer and derecognition of financial assets and
eliminates the concept of qualifying special-purpose entities under SFAS
140(ASC 860). SFAS 166(ASC 860) is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement is not expected to
have material impact on the Companys financial statements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other accounting standards that have been issued or
proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require
adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on
the Companys financial statements upon
adoption.
|
4.
|
LONG TERM INVESTMENT
|
|
|
|
On April 21, 2008, the Company purchased 900,000 shares
for $45,000 in Pro Eco Energy USA Ltd. (Pro
Eco Energy) which represented 8.25% ownership. The Chairman
of the Company is a Director in Pro Eco Energy which established the
existence of significant influence in Pro Eco Energy and accordingly the
equity method of accounting is adopted for the investment.
|
|
During the three months ended November 30, 2009, the
Company recorded an equity loss of $1,216, which resulted in a net
investment of $34,605.
|
|
|

Coteau Lake, Saskatchewan
Through the Companys subsidiary,
Target, the Company owns certain working interest in Coteau Lake, Saskatchewan.
Coteau Lake is an exploration property and the Company has no producing oil or
gas wells on this land at this time. The Coteau Lake exploration project covers
1,280 acres of land. The Companys gross and net interest in this project is
50%. There has been historic oil production on the Coteau Lake project
lands.
On November 7, 2007, the Companys
subsidiary Target entered into a Letter of Intent (the LOI) with Primrose
Drilling Ventures Ltd. (Primrose), a body corporate, having an office in the
city of Calgary, in the Province of Alberta. Pursuant to the LOI, the Target is
the interest title holder of Saskatchewan Crown Land parcels 124, 125 and 126.
Primrose elected to proceed with a
50/50 joint venture with Target by reimbursing Target for 50% of its land cost
on parcels 124, 125 and 126 for CDN$26,590 which is payable on signing within 15
days of the LOI. Primrose would become operator of the project upon its
acceptance of such appointment and agreement to assume the duties, obligations
and rights of the operator. A formal Participation Agreement (Agreement) which
included the provisions of LOI has been entered between Target and Primrose.
Included in the Participation Agreement would be the Area of Mutual Interest
(AMI) which would govern future land acquisitions and timeline set out in the
LOI. On December 31, 2008, an additional $22,270 was spent on land acquisitions
with Primrose Drilling Ventures.
As at November 30, 2009, the Company
was still in the process of defining the first well exploration location.
Glen Park, Alberta
On May 14, 2008 the Company was
successful in acquiring one land parcel of 160 acres in the Glen Park area of
central Alberta, Canada. The Company subsequently created a 50/50 Joint Venture
with Vanguard Exploration to explore and develop the joint lands on Alberta
Petroleum and Natural Gas Lease No. 0408050364. The joint venture owns the
Petroleum and Natural Gas rights below the base of the Mannville GRP to
basement
.
On June 11, 2008 the Company was
successful in acquiring two land parcels of 160 acres each in the Glen Park area
of central Alberta, Canada. These 320 acres are believed to be prospective for
reef development and the potential accumulation of oil deposits. Productive
wells in the area have had production rates in excess of 200 bop/d and in some
cases with little associated water. We currently have a 100% interest in these
two prospects. The Company continues to evaluate other opportunities in this and
other areas.
Belmont Lake
On August 28, 2009 and effective on
September 1, 2009, the Company entered into two assignment agreements to
participate in a well program in Jackson, Mississippi with two public
companies.
The Company agreed to pay $45,000 to acquire a 40.432 percent
interest from Cheetah Oil and Gas Ltd's 8 percent gross interest in the Belmont
Lake 12-4 well by paying 57.76 percent of the drilling, completion and tie in
costs. The Company also agreed to pay $59,987 to acquire a 13.475 percent
interest from Lexaria Corp's 32 percent gross interest in the Belmont Lake 12-4
well by paying 19.25 percent of the drilling, completion and tie in costs. Both
public companies have a managerial relationship with the Company. As at November
30, 2009, the Company has made a payment of $104,987 in connection with the
assignment agreement and the amount have been included in unproved property.

Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 24,
2004. Since inception, we were a company primarily engaged in the acquisition
and exploration of mineral properties.
Golden Aria is an energy company with two separately focused
divisions: the first is exploring and developing conventional oil and gas
properties while the second is examining and developing opportunities in the
alternative energy sector. Management has made progress in both areas of
business.
Global economic events since 2007 have contributed to strong
gyrations in the prices of oil and natural gas, making it more difficult than
normal to raise capital or make reliable internal business projections related
to the exploration, development, or production of crude oil or natural gas. In
the medium term, management believes that its interests in, and continued
development of, opportunities in conventional oil and gas have a high
probability of building shareholder value. These opportunities and others that
the Company is evaluating from time to time, should provide opportunities for
growth.
Additional scalable medium and long term economic benefits to
shareholders are available through our alternative energy initiatives, that also
could act as a hedge against the volatility of wildly fluctuating energy prices.
We continue to pursue opportunities in the emerging clean energy sector.
The address of our principal executive office is Suite 950,
1130 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4A4. Our telephone
number is (604) 602-1633. We have another office located in Kelowna. Our current
locations provide adequate office space for our purposes at this stage of our
development.
Due to the implementation of British Columbia Instrument 51-509
on September 30, 2008 by the British Columbia Securities Commission, we have
been deemed to be a British Columbia based reporting issuer. As such, we are
required to file certain information and documents at
www.sedar.com
.
Effective September 25, 2009, we effected a two (2) for one (1)
share consolidation of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock.
As a result, our authorized capital decreased from 75,000,000 shares of common
stock with a par value of $0.001 to 37,500,000 shares of common stock with a par
value of $0.001 and our issued and outstanding shares decreased from 29,305,480
shares of common stock to 14,652,740 shares of common stock. The consolidation
became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for
trading on September 25, 2009 under the new stock symbol
GLCP
. Our new
CUSIP number is
38079Q207
.
On October 9, 2009, we appointed Bal Bhullar as our chief
financial officer. Concurrent with the appointment of Ms. Bhullar, we entered
into an initial six-month management agreement, thereafter month to month, with
BKB Management Ltd., a consulting company controlled by Bal Bhullar.
On October 9, 2009, we entered into a month to month management
agreement with Mark Snyder, whereby Mark Snyder will act as the Chief Technical
Officer of the Company.
Our Current Business
Golden Aria is an energy company with two separately focused
divisions: the first is exploring and developing conventional oil and gas
properties while the second is examining and developing opportunities in the
alternative energy sector. Management has made progress in both areas of
business.
We are currently seeking opportunities to acquire prospective
or producing oil and gas properties or other oil and gas resource related
projects; and examining and developing opportunities in alternative energy.
We currently hold the following interests:
The Coteau Lake light oil exploration project, South Eastern
Saskatchewan, Canada
Coteau Lake is an exploration property and we have no producing
oil or gas wells on this property at this time. Coteau Lake covers 1,280 acres
of land. Golden Arias gross and net interest in this project is 50%. There has
been historic oil production on the Coteau Lake project lands. Our internal
geological and geophysical work to date indicates our lands could be prospective
for oil & gas accumulations to have taken place. Our current focus on this
project is the defining of our first exploration well location.
The Glen Park light oil exploration prospect, Central
Alberta, Canada
Glen Park prospect covers 160 acres that is believed to be
prospective for reef development and the potential accumulation of oil deposits.
Productive wells in the area have production rates in excess of 200 bop/d and in
some cases with little associated water. We currently have a 50% interest in the
Glen Park prospect and are actively looking at other prospects in the area.
Golden Aria expects to evaluate additional properties on an
ongoing basis and will acquire interests when believed to be in the company
interest.
Equity Investment in Pro Eco Energy, Inc.
On April 21, 2008 we announced that we had made an equity
investment in to Pro Eco Energy, Inc., a clean tech energy enterprise in
engineering, developing and installing solar energy solutions to commercial and
residential customers. We also welcomed the President of Pro Eco Energy,
Mr.Roger Huber, as the first member of our Clean Tech Advisory board. Mr. Huber
has a long career in optimizing energy solutions and his knowledge and wide
industry contacts are expected to help us develop our alternative energy
solutions.
Clean Tech Alliance with Snyder Electric.
On June 5, 2008, Mr. Mark Snyder, a long time clean energy
expert in California, also joined our Clean Tech Advisory board. Mr. Snyder is
an expert in alternative energy systems. Mr. Snyders focus is on complete net
zero home solutions homes that generate through alternative energy systems
such as solar thermal, solar PV or other, as much energy as they consume.
Belmont Lake Field, Wilkinson County, Mississippi
Effective September 1, 2009, we entered into an assignment
agreement with Cheetah Oil & Gas Ltd. The assignment agreement dated August
28, 2009, provides for the purchase by our company of a revenue interest of
40.432% of an 8% share of Cheetahs net revenue after field operating expenses
from the Belmont Lake PP F-12-4 horizontal well, located in Belmont Lake Field,
Wilkinson County, Mississippi. As consideration, we have agreed to pay to
Cheetah 57.76% of Cheetahs costs currently budgeted at $77,905, subject to
revision and 57.76% of Cheetahs 8% share of PP F-12-4 well costs from time to
time for infrastructure, pipes, tanks, compressors, trucking, etc.
Effective September 1, 2009, we entered into an assignment
agreement with Lexaria Corp. The assignment agreement dated August 28, 2009,
provides for the purchase by our company of a revenue interest of 13.475% of a
32% share of Lexarias net revenue after field operating expenses from the
Belmont Lake PP F-12-4 horizontal well, located in Belmont Lake Field, Wilkinson
County, Mississippi. As consideration, we have agreed to pay to Lexaria 19.25%
of Lexarias costs currently budgeted at $311,621, subject to revision and
19.25% of Lexarias 32% share of PP F-12-4 well costs from time to time for
infrastructure, pipes, tanks, compressors, trucking, etc.
Through the acquisitions from Cheetah Oil & Gas Ltd. and
Lexaria Corp., we hold an aggregate 7.5376% net revenue interest after field
operating expenses in the Belmont Lake PP F-12-4 horizontal well.
On November 13, 2009, we announced that the Operator of the PP
F-12-4 horizontal well in Mississippi, Griffin & Griffin Exploration LLC,
has declared force majeure on the Belmont Lake offset wells at this time due to
the heavy flooding in the area. We expect that Griffin & Griffin we commence
drilling once the weather has subsided.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining
further financing, a successful program of exploration and/or development, and,
finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional
equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity
interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming
those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash
commitments.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further
funds required for our continued operations. As noted herein, we are pursuing
various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial
requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be
available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on
commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional
financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as
planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become
due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our
operations.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment
(excluding oil and gas activities) over the twelve months ending November 30,
2010 other than office computers, furnishings, and communication equipment as
required.
Corporate Offices
The address of our principal executive office is Suite 950,
1130 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4A4. Our telephone
number is (604) 602-1633. We have another office located in Kelowna. Our current
locations provide adequate office space for our purposes at this stage of our
development.
Employees
We primarily used the services of sub-contractors and
consultants for manual labour exploration work and drilling on our properties.
Our only technical employee is Mr. McAllister, our president and a director.
The Company had entered into a consulting agreement with Dr.
Gerald G. Carlsons company, KGE Management Ltd. from March 1, 2005 to November
30, 2007. During the term of this agreement, Dr. Carlson, provided geological
and corporate administration consulting services to our company, such duties and
responsibilities included the provision of geological consulting services,
strategic corporate and financial planning, management of the overall business
operations of our company, and the supervision of office staff and exploration
and mining consultants. Dr. Carlson, through KGE Management Ltd., was reimbursed
at the rate of $2,000 per month. This agreement was terminated on November 30,
2007, but Dr. Carlson does remain on the Board as a Director.
We entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Robert
McAllister on December 1, 2007. During the term of this agreement, Mr.
McAllister is to provide corporate administration and oil & gas exploration

provision of oil and gas industry consulting services, strategic corporate and
financial planning, management of the overall business operations of the
Company, and supervising office staff and exploration and oil & gas
consultants. Mr. McAllister is reimbursed at the rate of $2,000 per month. On
December 1, 2008, the consulting fee was increased to $5,000 per month. We may
terminate this agreement without prior notice based on a number of conditions.

the Province of British Columbia. CAB Financial Services is a consulting company
controlled by the chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the
Company. Pursuant to the controller agreement, CAB Financial Services will
provide corporate accounting and controller services to the Company in
consideration for the payment of CAD$3,675 (including $175 GST) per month. This
agreement was terminated on October 9, 2009.

We do not expect any material changes in the number of
employees over the next 12 month period. We do and will continue to outsource
contract employment as needed. However, with project advancement and if we are
successful in our initial and any subsequent drilling programs we may retain
additional employees.
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.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United
States of America. 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 consolidated financial statements is critical
to an understanding of our financials.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company utilizes the full cost method to account for its
investment in oil and gas properties. Accordingly, all costs associated with
acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including such
costs as leasehold acquisition costs, capitalized interest costs relating to
unproved properties, geological expenditures, tangible and intangible
development costs including direct internal costs are capitalized to the full
cost pool. When the Company obtains proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized
costs, including estimated future costs to develop the reserves and estimated
abandonment costs, net of salvage, will be depleted on the units-of-production
method using estimates of proved reserves.
Investments in unproved properties are not depleted pending
determination of the existence of proved reserves. Unproved properties are
assessed periodically to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. Unproved
properties whose costs are individually significant are assessed individually by
considering the primary lease terms of the properties, the holding period of the
properties, and geographic and geologic data obtained relating to the
properties. Where it is not practicable to assess individually the amount of
impairment of properties for which costs are not individually significant, such
properties are grouped for purposes of assessing impairment. The amount of
impairment assessed is added to the costs to be amortized, or is reported as a
period expense, as appropriate.
Pursuant to full cost accounting rules, the Company must
perform a ceiling test each quarter on its proved oil and gas assets. The
ceiling test provides that capitalized costs less related accumulated depletion
and deferred income taxes for each cost center may not exceed the sum of (1) the
present value of future net revenue from estimated production of proved oil and
gas reserves using current prices, excluding the future cash outflows associated
with settling asset retirement obligations that have been accrued on the balance
sheet, at a discount factor of 10%; plus (2) the cost of properties not being
amortized, if any; plus (3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of
unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any; less (4)
income tax effects related to differences in the book and tax basis of oil and
gas properties. Should the net capitalized costs for a cost center exceed the
sum of the components noted above, an impairment charge would be recognized to
the extent of the excess capitalized costs. Sales of proved and unproved
properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or
loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the
relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in
which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
Exploration activities conducted jointly with others are
reflected at the Companys proportionate interest in such activities.
Cost related to site restoration programs are accrued over the
life of the project.
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", the carrying value of intangible assets and
other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of
facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. We recognize impairment when
the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the
asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying
amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.
Revenue Recognition
Oil and natural gas revenues are recorded using the sales
method whereby our Company recognizes oil and natural gas revenue based on the
amount of oil and gas sold to purchasers when title passes, the amount is
determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Actual sales of gas are based
on sales, net of the associated volume charges for processing fees and for costs
associated with delivery, transportation, marketing, and royalties in accordance
with industry standards. Operating costs and taxes are recognized in the same
period of which revenue is earned.
Going Concern
We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The
continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our Company
attaining and maintaining profitable operations and/or raising additional
capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the
recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our Company
discontinue operations.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising
additional financial support and/or attaining and maintaining profitable levels
of internally generated revenue. The issuance of additional equity securities by
us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current
stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be
available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB No. 166(ASC 860), Accounting
for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140
(SFAS 166). SFAS 166(ASC 860) requires additional disclosures about the
transfer and derecognition of financial assets and eliminates the concept of
qualifying special-purpose entities under SFAS 140(ASC 860). SFAS 166(ASC 860)
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of
this statement is not expected to have material impact on the Companys
financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by
the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a
future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Companys
financial statements upon adoption.

Our accumulated losses increased to $1,362,362 as of November
30, 2009. Our financial statements report a net loss of $98,889 for the
three-month period ended November 30, 2009 compared to a net loss of $18,283 for
the three-month period ended November 30, 2008. Our losses have increased
primarily as a result of decreased revenue from the sale of the oil and gas
producing properties. In addition to no income from the alternative energy
segment and also in 2008 there was a large foreign exchange gain.
As at November 30, 2009, we had $172,736 in current
liabilities. Our net cash used in operating activities for the three months
ended November 30, 2009 was $29,929 compared to $47,313 used in the three months
ended November 30, 2008. Our accumulated losses increased to $1,362,362 as of
November 30, 2009. Our financial statements report a net loss of $98,889 for the
three month period ended November 30, 2009 compared to a net loss of $18,283 for
the three month period ended November 30, 2008. Our losses have increased
primarily as a result of no revenue because of the sale of the revenue producing
properties in 2009, no revenue from the alternative energy segment, no foreign
exchange gain, and a revaluation of stock option plan.
Our total liabilities as of November 30, 2009 were $935,440 as
compared to total liabilities of $892,225 as of August 31, 2009. The increase is
due to the accrued consulting fees payable to the two of the directors and
officers of the Company.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $29,929 in the three
months ended November 30, 2009 compared with net cash used in operating
activities of $47,313 in the same period in 2008.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $45,000 in the three
months ended November 30, 2009 compared to net cash used by investing activities
of $25,104 in the same period in 2008. The increase use of cash of in investing
activities is mainly attributable to the Belmont Lake working interest.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $Nil in the three
months ended November 30, 2009 compared to $40,420 in the same period in 2008.
This is attributable to a short term loan to a related party.
Oil and gas sales volume comparisons for the Quarter
ended November 30, 2009 compared to the quarter ended November 30, 2008
For the three-month period ended November 30, 2009, the Company
had $254 in revenues compared to$24,609 in revenues for the same three-month
period in the prior year. The Company has generated $374,342 in revenues from
inception on November 24, 2004 to November 30, 2009.
Item 4. 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 the
Securities 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) and our secretary, treasurer and chief
financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow
for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of November 30, 2009, 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 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 effective in
providing reasonable assurance in the reliability of our financial reports as of
the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
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 judgment 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 changes in our internal controls over
financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended November 30, 2009
that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
controls over financial reporting.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
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.
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.
Such estimates, projections or other "forward looking
statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We
caution the reader 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".
Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk
factors set out below.
We have had negative cash flows from operations.
To date we have had negative cash flows from operations and we
have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet
our cash requirements and have incurred losses totaling approximately $98,889
for the three month period ending November 30, 2009, and cumulative losses of
$1,362,362 to November 30, 2009. As of November 30, 2009 we had a working
capital of $39,852 as a result of past financing activities. We do expect
positive cash flow from operations in the near term; however there is no
assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates, or that
our sales projections will be realized as estimated. In particular, additional
capital may be required in the event that:
-
drilling and completion costs for further wells increase beyond our
expectations; or
-
commodity prices for our production decline beyond our expectations; or
-
production levels do not meet our expectations; or
-
we encounter greater costs associated with general and administrative
expenses or offering costs.
The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could
adversely affect our ability to meet our business plans.
We will depend almost exclusively on outside capital to pay for
the continued exploration and development of our properties. Such outside
capital may include the sale of additional stock and/or commercial borrowing.
Capital may not continue to be available if necessary to meet these continuing
development costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms
acceptable to us. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would
result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current
stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be
available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on
terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business and as
a result may be required to scale back or cease operations for our business, the
result of which would be that our stockholders would lose some or all of their
investment.
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our
ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could
result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in
our ability to raise capital. Because our operations have been primarily
financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our
common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our continued
operations. Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future
would force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and would have a
significant negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our
ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. If our
stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate
funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.
We have a history of losses and fluctuating operating
results.
From inception through to November 30, 2009, we have incurred
aggregate losses of approximately $1,362,362. Our loss from operations for the
three-month period ended November 30 2009 was $98,889. There is no assurance
that we will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the
future. In addition, our operating results in the future may be subject to
significant fluctuations due to many factors not within our control, such as the
unpredictability of world prices and market for oil and gas, the demand for our
production, and the level of competition and general economic conditions. If we cannot
generate positive cash flows in the future, or raise sufficient financing to
continue our normal operations, then we may be forced to scale down or even
close our operations. Until such time as we generate significant revenues, we
expect an increase in development costs and operating costs. Consequently, we
expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flow until we
receive significant commercial production from our properties.
We have a limited operating history and if we are not
successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or
even cease our ongoing business operations.
We have limited history of revenues from operations and have
limited significant tangible assets. We have yet to generate positive earnings
and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our Company
has a limited operating history and must be considered in the development stage.
The success of our Company is significantly dependent on a successful
acquisition, drilling, completion and production program. Our Companys
operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a
developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a
significant operating history. We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves,
extract the reserves economically, and/or operate on a profitable basis. We are
in the development stage and potential investors should be aware of the
difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the development stage. If
our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably,
investors may lose some or all of their investment in our company.
Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's "Penny
Stock" regulations, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our
stock.
The U.S. 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 SEC, 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.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has
adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder'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 our shares.
Trading in our common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board is
limited and sporadic making it difficult for our shareholders to sell their
shares or liquidate their investments.
Our common shares are currently listed for public trading on
the OTC Bulletin Board. The trading price of our common shares has been subject
to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common shares may fluctuate in
response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The
stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations
that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance
of companies with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that
trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common
shares will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors
may adversely affect the market price of our common shares, regardless of our
operating performance.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market
price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often
been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial
costs for us and a diversion of management's attention and resources.
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 its development. We
have largely been engaged in the business of exploring and until only recently
attempting to develop commercial reserves of oil and gas. Our Alberta property
is in the exploration stage and without known reserves of oil and gas. Only our
Saskatchewan properties have commenced production but were disposed in 2009.
Accordingly, we have not generated significant revenues nor have we realized a
profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will
generate significant revenues or realize any profits in the short term. Any
profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon attaining
adequate levels of internally generated revenues through 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 significant revenues,
we will have to raise additional monies through either securing industry reserve
based debt financing, or the sale of our equity securities or debt, or
combinations of the above in order to continue our business operations.
As our properties are in the exploration and early
development stage there can be no assurance that we will establish commercial
discoveries and/or profitable production programs on these properties.
Exploration for economic reserves of oil and gas is subject to
a number of risk factors. Few properties that are explored are ultimately
developed into producing oil and/or gas wells. Our Alberta properties and US
Belmont Lake properties are in the exploration stage only and are without proven
reserves of oil and gas. We may not establish commercial discoveries on our
Alberta 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 worldwide 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. These factors cannot be accurately
predicted and 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 leases.
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 staff. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for
desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations and
necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds. We cannot predict
if the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be
completed. Our budget does not anticipate the potential acquisition of
additional acreage in Alberta although this may change at any time without
notice. This acreage may not become available or if it is available for leasing,
that we may not be successful in acquiring the leases. There are other
competitors that have operations in these areas and the presence of these
competitors could adversely affect our ability to acquire additional leases.
The marketability of natural resources will be affected by
numerous factors beyond our control, which may result in us not receiving an
adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.
The marketability of natural resources, which may be acquired
or discovered by us, will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control.
These factors include market fluctuations in oil and gas pricing and demand, the
proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment,
governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the
importing and exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection regulations.
The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the
combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return
on invested capital to be profitable or viable.
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.
Oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state, 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 are also subject to federal, state, and
local laws and regulations, which seek to maintain health and safety standards
by regulating the design and use of drilling methods 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.
Environmental standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may
be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our
activities. 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, we may be subject to liability for pollution or
other environmental damages, which it may elect not to insure against due to
prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. To date we have not been required
to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations.
However, we may be required to do so in future and this may affect our ability
to expand or maintain our operations.
Exploration and production activities are subject to certain
environmental regulations, which may prevent or delay the commencement or
continuance of our operations.
In general, our exploration and production activities are
subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to
environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase
the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or
continuance of a given operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations has
not had a material effect on our operations or financial condition to date.
Specifically, we 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.
We believe that our operations comply, in all material
respects, with all applicable environmental regulations.
Our operating partners maintain insurance coverage customary to
the industry; however, we are not fully insured against all possible
environmental risks.
Exploratory and development 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 labour, and other risks are
involved. We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against
which it cannot adequately insure or which it 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
may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and our profitability.
The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative
practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the
United States, Canada, or any other jurisdiction, may be changed, applied or
interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter the ability of our
company to carry on our business.
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 profitably.
Our By-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and
directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them.
Our By-laws contain provisions with respect to the
indemnification of our officers and directors against all costs, charges and
expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment,
actually and reasonably incurred by him, including an amount paid to settle an
action or satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal or administrative action or
proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his being or having been one
of our directors or officers.
Investors' interests in our company will be diluted and
investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue
additional shares or raise funds through the sale of equity securities.
Our constating documents authorize the issuance of 37,500,000
shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. In the event that we are
required to issue any additional shares or enter into private placements to
raise financing through the sale of equity securities, investors' interests in
our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book
value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we
issue any such additional shares, such issuances also will cause a reduction in
the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders. Further,
any such issuance may result in a change in our control.
Our By-laws do not contain anti-takeover provisions, which
could result in a change of our management and directors if there is a take-over
of our company.
We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any
anti-takeover provisions in our By-laws. Without any anti-takeover provisions,
there is no deterrent for a take-over of our company, which may result in a
change in our management and directors.
As a result of a majority of our directors and officers are
residents of other countries other than the United States, investors may find it
difficult to enforce, within the United States, any judgments obtained against
our company or our directors and officers.
Other than our operations office in Vancouver, British
Columbia, we do not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the
United States. In addition, 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 our company 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.
